| 0:00.0 | This is the athletic football show. |
| 0:15.9 | Welcome, the athletic football show. |
| 0:18.4 | I'm Robert Mays. |
| 0:19.2 | Great show for you guys today. |
| 0:20.6 | We got a fun little draft gimmick that we're going to roll out today. As we get closer to the draft, I think it's important to up the silliness, not crank it down, because this is the end of silly season and we have to celebrate in the only fashion that I see fit. Here to help me with this fun little exercise that we're going to do are two of my old friends, |
| 1:15.4 | two my good old buddies from the ringer. First of all, it's Danny Kelly. D.K., how you doing buddy? I'm doing excellent. How are you doing? I'm doing fantastic. It is very good to see you, very good for you to be here. I was on Hawk Blocker morning this week. Oh, yeah. With Brian Newman, and he as always those folks in Northwest, big fans of you. So he was asking what it was like to work with you back in the day. And I said, it was predictably wonderful, as I think everyone who's worked with D.K. tends to say. Oh, well, thank you. That means a lot. Appreciate it. On the other end of the spectrum, it's my good funny Ben Sault, my good buddy Ben Solac, Ben, how you doing, man? Great.

| 1:29.7 | one to 30 picking players that are eligible to drafted this season. The goal is for your team |
| 1:36.7 | to have the combined lowest draft slots. So just for example, DK, you have the number one pick |
| 1:42.3 | based on a random random list generator |
| 1:44.5 | that, |
| 1:44.8 | or random order generator that generator. |
| 1:47.7 | Randomizer. |
| 1:50.3 | The random order generator. |
| 1:52.7 | We make all hosts into Danny Highfitz. |
| 1:55.1 | We bring this. |
| 1:56.2 | It's so, |
| 1:56.9 | hey, |
| 1:57.7 | hey, |
| 1:57.9 | absolutely not. |
| 1:59.3 | Do not put that on me. |
| 2:03.1 | I'm going to use real words from here on out. The random order generator that I used earlier this week, Dave gave D.K. the number one pick. |
