This week’s show kicked off from London, which sounds fancier than it was—I was just stealing Wi-Fi in my mom’s hotel room for her 60th birthday. Fantasy analyst Tera Victoria joined me, and together we built the perfect Week 9 waiver wire shopping list. Mason Taylor? Still criminally under-rostered. Tyron Tracy Jr.? Must-add if you actually like winning. We even went full “Packers therapy session,” which, as it turns out, doubles as actual therapy.
Then Colby Marchio crashed the party like a man who thinks Guinness counts as hydration. Our “Dads and Duds” segment got heated—he tried to steal my Jonathan Taylor take, I threatened to fire him mid-show, and somehow we ended up talking about Brian Kelly’s fake Cajun accent. We did manage to squeeze in a few early Week 9 bets (Texans money line, Lions spread, Seahawks defense) between yelling about refs and the Tush Push.
Finally, Producer Ryan McKee appeared on screen dressed as Mr. Rogers, preparing to roast Hulk Hogan. That’s not a metaphor. The man literally wore a cardigan and tried to make “Won’t you be my neighbor?” sound like a diss track. We wrapped the show with Circa lines, laughs, and me realizing that this might officially be the strangest—and most fun—episode we’ve ever done.
