| 0:00.0 | What do Devante Adams, George Kittle, Justin Jefferson, Debo Samuel, and Amon-Raw St. Brown all have in common? |
| 0:06.7 | Well, besides being some of the most reliable hands in the game of football, they're also the stars of the new Netflix series Receiver. |
| 0:13.2 | From the same team that brought you the show quarterback, receiver takes you deep inside the huddles, locker rooms, and personal lives of five of the best past catchers |
| 0:22.2 | and playmakers in the NFL. Catch receiver now playing only on Netflix. |
| 0:28.2 | All right, guys, very excited to welcome back to the program. One Mr. Ricky D. I said, look, |
| 0:36.2 | it was fine having you on the first time. But not do I, not only do I need you to win the milly maker again to come back on that, that's too easy. That's too easy. When you have access to the Sims, I mean, winning a milly maker, like, that's just fucking breakfast. What I actually need you to do is I need you to chop the milly maker and I need you to chop it with someone who does not |
| 0:54.6 | have an identical lineup you know that's just kind of my way of saying he'll never come on the program again |
| 0:59.9 | but somehow you did in fact chop the milly maker with a non identical lineup so yeah that's just how powerful |
| 1:06.5 | my sims are I can just pinpoint that level of accuracy so yeah people people say the sims you know how |
| 1:13.2 | powerful can they be i mean that's how powerful they can be i can't think of a better example yeah |
| 1:17.7 | yeah it's funny though like you say like winning the millie maker it's like sometimes it's it's kind |
| 1:22.6 | of sounds impressive and it probably does but you know sometimes it's like you're just getting even |
| 1:26.7 | on the season where you're playing high high levels so that's kind of how it went for me. It's not exactly the biggest. It's more of like one of those relief moments when that happened. So I would have preferred to solo. So that was actually, it was actually one of the things I wanted to talk to you about because it's something I've noticed, which is that the harder that |
| 1:45.0 | gambling gets, not just in DFS, not just in the stuff that you and I like, but the harder |
| 1:49.1 | that it gets to actually make money on sides and totals, I've noticed far, a far greater |
| 1:58.1 | amount. People I never would have anticipated hopping over to the, you know, maybe they're not selling picks, but they're selling tools. Or, you know, maybe they don't have, you know, they don't have a Stu Feiner picks package, but they're like, oh, you can join my Discord and we'll talk about plays and things like that. So that was where I wanted to begin. I just kind of wanted to get your thoughts on the sports speculation market, |
| 2:21.6 | how difficult it is both in DFS, sports betting, force parlays, whatever, |
| 2:26.1 | and just sort of your general thoughts on that. |
| 2:28.5 | Yeah, I mean, I think I don't really branch out all that much in the gambling world. |
| 2:33.2 | Like I used to play poker professionally and then I did DFS basically. And like I don't like do any size and totals. I don't do many parleyes or like even prop betting or I don't do like best ball stuff. Like my it's no, no. Yes, you do. Yes. I know. Like I got called out for like running like I ran a few drafters rosters or something because there was big overlay and I just kind of wanted to prepare for my season long. But like I definitely didn't take it very seriously. I don't know, man. I saw I saw you on draft Kings a little bit. You were a little bit like the $10. Like it was just like I midnight just, you know, draft grinds? It wasn't. I want to see what it's all about. You guys talk about it so fucking much that I can't, I can't not at least look at it. I still question the actual level of edge in those types of things. But I'm, you know, I could be convinced that there's some, but it's just a lot of time. |
| 3:24.9 | Well, no, I mean, you hit the nail on the head, which is that there definitely is edge. |
| 3:28.1 | People are, of all of the things that billions of dollars go into for fantasy sports, people are far and away the worst at fantasy football. |
