deep in all of it. In all of it. You probably be in 20 leagues.

And for people who don't know, Craig was like a brother to us, right? Guy that we all, you know, went to school, let the party within college, etc. I mean, cakes with the Towson, but we all hung out together. And like a brother to us died tragically, you know, when we were at HFS. And it was a big time character on this show, a big time part of this show and passed away.

0:41.2

But this is an iconic moment that... So funny. I mean, there's no getting around it. It was really... Stone cold busted. He's hysterically funny. And Valde, you and I, we take fantasy very seriously, even to this day. Like, it has to be pure. You can't have people colluding. You can't have people like trying to bribe people to move up in the draft order.

0:41.4

This is unsavory.

0:43.1

You ended up kicking him out of the league, as he should have been.

0:46.8

And then I don't know if there was a dispersal, dispersal draft.

0:51.3

Or his just, who got Pedro?

0:53.5

Or that was the number one question.

0:55.6

He was lobbying hard to try and get Pedro and his team.

0:58.3

Sure.

0:58.8

But I think Horsey side,

1:01.1

I think Horsey was siding with with Crick because

1:03.9

Horses share half a brain together.

1:06.5

And then,

1:08.2

well, his rationale was he just still wanted to beat him straight up. Right. Okay. Which I kind of understood Horsey's mentality that you didn't want the player, you didn't want everyone else's players to be on someone else's team. Then the league's tainted from there. Yeah. So that kind of made sense. But Horsey couldn't explain it very well. Right. You can't do that.

1:27.9

Look, there's nothing like it, and we've done this on the show a few times over the years. There's nothing like catching one of your cohorts in a lie. Yeah, it's fun. Yeah. When you catch somebody in a lie, that it's not so fun. Whether it's, to the extent of it on you, it's no fun. To the extent of a lie detector test like we did with AWOD, but in this case, we caught crickety in a big-time lie. You guys did the whole entire show on it probably. I think you did. You guys were taking calls on suggestions on how to punish him the next day. I will say Eric did have a soft heart the next day. Oh, he did. He backed off.

2:00.9

He kind of backed off. Then he, uh, ramped back up.

2:06.1

Yeah. Love it. Love it. So everyone enjoy, uh, this classic junkies moment of Crick

2:11.9

trying to rig the fantasy draft.

2:15.4

All right now, uh, your fantasy baseball league's heating up. You're just started, but I believe E.B's in first right now. Very early. Cakes is a bit surly about his team because it's getting losses from his relievers. It's early. By the way, do you join the club? Did you see a cheer in his throw last night? Oh, he's sick. It was a laser. Did you see it?

2:34.3

No.

2:35.2

You never watch any highlights. No, I'm not interested. I just look at the box score. Right. That's hard thing. But Chiru, the Japanese outfield, the first position player in the major leagues, he's 5'9, weighs about a buck 60. he has a rifle
