What If NIL Deals Changed Fantasy Football Completely?

Trey (00:05.428)
like candy a candy treat she knocks me right up off my feet she's so fine asking me it's like a perfect harmony

Trey (00:26.91)
right stuff, baby Love the way you turn me on You got the right stuff, baby You're the reason why I sing this song

Trey (00:50.956)
Tell me what to

Wes (01:04.696)
I'm not used to being seen.

So what's up, dude?

Actually, so to start off, man, big recruiting is Bryce Underwood, the number one prospect for the class of 2025 in football has flipped his commitment from LSU to hometown Michigan. What's up, George? We're currently recording. What's up, Got a live call in, guys. Yeah, live call it. What's up, man? What's going on?

Trey (01:46.382)
That was my homie George, he was talking about Dave Portnoy, the founder and CEO of Barstool, Michigan alum, just throwing around little NIO money to go, you some top recruits, that's how it works now. It's just, it is what it is. I mean, yeah, you get the NIO deals, can have somebody do an endorsement deal with Road if they want to. mean, yeah, people doing all sorts of shit.

Weather allowed sigmonina?

Wes (02:10.604)
It comes a long way from like, it was what? From Tony Dorsett and SMU fucking got the gold piney I can be talked about. And then it was just this major crackdown. Like you couldn't even get a fucking slice of pizza. Now they're like negotiating deals.

Right exactly But yeah, so welcome back there zones of strike zones that was a little of a little different introduction that we did there cuz we had a there was a lot going on like yeah, I'm you see how that news I mean, he's a lot of video and everything. This is what we look like. Yeah, so

So for all you fives listeners out there, I don't do it for the listeners. I do it because it's fun for me. I just like enjoy hanging out with you. Not trying to get, no, no. No, it's like, it's one of those things just get out of the fucking house.

I'm hey

Trey (02:52.494)
But a dead ass though

Trey (02:57.998)
Yeah, let me get off my damn phone. No, literally dude. I have so much fun when we do this because We just get to hang out and just be boys Yeah, whether we're talking about sports or music just probably get all sure you movies like, you know, no, it's with everything bro It's just so fucking fun because you just get to sit here and just do yeah

I'm the one guy that can't really talk sports with you. I mean I can but not

I had friends that still can't talk sports. They think they can.

When your boys called, I had no idea.

Well, that's a little different. This is high school recruiting. I wouldn't expect you to know that, but the start of your quarterback is fucking Detroit Lions. mean, you know, you play fantasy, so you would know that. You know what I I'm just saying like, that's what I'm saying. Like you would know stuff like that, but I wouldn't expect you to know anything to do with fucking high school recruiting. you know, that's, that's true. It was just, well, the offer came out of Michigan offering him that money. And I thought, you know,

Wes (03:44.875)
the sports show. That's what you do.

Trey (03:57.312)
Makes sense. and a half million dollars over four years, I mean.

And what? He's coming out of high school?

Yeah, he's in high school in Michigan. He so committed to LSU though. So he flipped from LSU to Michigan. He's going to Michigan now.

So you voluntarily wanted to get a mission.

Well, he had a little bit of money in his eyes, but again, it's legal now.

Wes (04:17.27)
It's weird to hear that. mean, I'm happy for him. mean, if you're, if... EA Sports is making tens of millions of dollars off of your name.

I'm not, I look man.

Trey (04:26.314)
I listen, man, I went to UNT, again, we have to continue to rehash these things for people. I'm a Texas fan, I did have family play there, when we were kids, he said he was gonna go to play at Texas, and so I've been a Texas fan since he got me into watching football. He helped me. Yeah, and he helped me become the sports junkie that I am today. And people don't realize this, but what does UT actually stand for? Not the University of Texas, University of Tampering, meaning with NIL. We will come take your players.

I like that.

We will concede that universally good sounds like it get week one if someone balls out trust we will be in contact for after the season or People be my people

Very

Wes (05:05.742)
Yeah, the bribes are gonna be a lot different now because they're more like covert, passing normal money laundering.

It's Do you either keep up with the Johns or you don't? You want the players to go out there and compete at the highest level or you don't? That's all this comes down to. And these guys see this thing. They see it. Again, it's about development. It's about going to the NFL. Yes, that is the ultimate goal. However, when you're 15, 16, 17, 18 years old, deciding where you're gonna go play college ball, mean, you money to play, so I mean, this is where we're at now.

It's kind of like if you think about it, so you get drafted, you're going pro, you get drafted, like let's say you're a die-hard Cowboys fan. grew up, you're gonna play and you get drafted by the Giants or fucking Oakwind or the Browns. You're like, fuck, I never wanted to play there, but I'm getting $20 million. The Dads of Louisville, they're actually preparing themselves for, don't have the expectations, just be happy that you get the play.

You

Trey (06:03.918)
Who, once you get to the NFL, are an employee, technically? Well, technically you are now in college, but like you are actually an employee of the NFL, yeah. So, I mean, like you said, that's what you have to be prepared for is, I don't wanna be in this city, blah, blah, blah, but they're offering me $20 million. And that's what sometimes it comes down to, and a lot of these guys are gonna still have options, well, not a lot, but the...

main money drivers of this thing are going to have the options of any of the top academic public schools, if not private schools, and I believe schools that they can choose from. Michigan being one of those schools. The Florida's of the world. Texas, I mean, you have all of these schools, you know what I mean, USC, that are top-notch public schools, you know I mean? And so they're going to have their pick of the litter.

Yeah, you assume

Wes (06:50.958)
The southeast is really.

Wes (06:56.238)
You're mainly coming from alumni booster club.

Yeah, so what it is with NIL is a lot of collectives. So what they'll have is obviously the donors, which are typically alumni or some are connected to the program, big money guys that have, you know, this lot of wealth that can feed into these funds, you know, and give deals and like I said, how it was supposed to be when it started was road or beats or any like a company would come to you. Yeah, and yeah, you know what mean?

but it ended up turning into now pretty much just a symbol is paid for play. Like you still have to do things for it. You guys are still have to make it. Yeah, I mean, you still have to make appearances and make posts and you are, have these little deals you have to do of certain things, but it's not nearly like when you do get that, that beats by Dre deal.

yeah, I'm trying to ahead of

It's essentially a separate thing now though. you're doing like Beats by Dre is doing that, but you're still through the collective getting.

Wes (07:55.52)
Right, so that's like when I was in Charleston, I was a spokesperson for Xfinity, like Concast. And there was really, or even when I got my LASIK done, it was free, but there was very, very strict like posting, like stuff, no problem, I was good, I'll do it, whatever, you gave me free LASIK, but it's very, you have to watch what you do, what you post, and things like that, because these guys are.

basically fronting you 10 grand or whatever and you don't want to breach that contract. It was like the one time I was when I was tamed when I got sponsored by something I was just like I want to I don't want to dick over the salespeople I don't want to.

Yeah. Yeah. No, that's just how it goes. So like you said, road could come through and, offer you an NIO bill.

I would love for Rode to come through. Because I'm a director, assistant director now and a pro-woser. Come on, we got the Rode mics, got the Rode PSA1s. I mean, I got my Shore mic on my Rode boom arm. Come on, guys, what are we doing here?

Rode, hey, you hear this.

Trey (09:00.63)
Listen, if you can back us, I can promise you myself that I will, we will make this podcast the biggest thing out there. know what I We're already trying to do, but.

It's more of an incentive than like full protein like a job.

Yeah, like, I mean, I wouldn't be upset with some extra. No, you know, did it. That's what I'm Extra. I said, I I guess your dish and shit like.

I'm You can just pay us like, gear.

Wes (09:23.982)
So road, here we go. So all your mounts, your wireless mics, your shotgun mics, all that shit. Yes, please. Cause we want to take this shit on the road and we-

We would love to do that actually. Yeah, we know actually that would be dope.

The roadcaster. The thing is awesome. It's basically...

I tell you we're going to the fucking we're going to the Chiefs and Texans game up in KC in the next one Yeah, so this dude that works for Zoe's dad like got like a we're have an inside out tailgate So like we can go inside because obviously me call this shit, right? know inside till they go outside and tell gay kind of covered and everything then we got club seats So we'll be outside still but we got club seats. So yeah, it's pretty

New shi-

Wes (10:04.768)
It's like lamp it. Yeah. Yeah. So I would say take this mic because you can plug into your phone and just use whatever recording app there's the road central app. Yeah. And we can just call each other like you basically these things are basically like that whole set up in the doctor about doing it. But now but now

So we'll definitely read like what what I know.

But now I actually should be able to, because Indy was like such a clusterfuck because of the rain delay and everything. Like was just all fucked up.

Yeah, and then when, if we go somewhere, we just take these bad guys. I mean, yeah. Road. Hey, good job on that. Come on. least when we wear it, we don't look like, it doesn't, I don't feel like it looks weird.

I don't either I like it. I even though I'm wearing a gray shirt it blends in with your with your black butt I still fucking vibe like nice fucking vibes and drum and bass boy um and ass

Trey (11:01.976)
Fantasy football. I forgot about that. Fantasy football. Tonight, we got the Steelers at the Browns. Got a divisional rivalry. Hate involved in this. Eight and two Steelers. Two and eight Browns.

Let's get back to that.

Wes (11:18.872)
That's kind like my line of my plate, the guy I'm playing this week. I'm five and six. I've had three straight games in one. I beat the number two player last week. This guy is number 12. And he's heavily favored. And there's nothing I can do. Like I've tried to play the waiver. Like all this shit. There's this, the big toss up is Bo Nix, Bo Dix, or Jordan Love. Because Dix had, I'm just gonna call him Dix. It's more from other Dix.

He had like a 35, 40 point game in fantasy. And Jordan led to good, like going around, he did like solid 20 something, but I'm like, I don't know if this is like the make or break for it, but Watson for me, I still won, but I should have started him. He's back, as far as I'm concerned.

Do you have anyone playing tonight? No, I don't either. Yeah. I think Sunday will be more my speed. I think I have a plane Monday. But I'm got plenty of people I'm projected to win again. I'm both in both in both leagues. Nice. Subject to the win both. So actually, I do need to kind of take a look at the performance because I didn't even look at that one. Yeah.

Yeah, I don't think that my guys...

Trey (12:35.586)
I'm gonna have Jaylen Warren on the bench, bro.

Could have worked. I don't know. I knew that this past week I craft a tight.

Oh, actually, no, you don't have Jaylen. Oh, no, Jaylen Warren is playing tonight. OK, I was in my other league trying to figure out, like, because I had three people on by, and I was like, do I, should I get someone for one of these teams to watch this game? Yes, they might actually, because that's happened to me before, is when I had a bunch of bys and I got someone that was playing that night. Right. I was like, damn, I don't know if I should do this. And they actually ended up going off. Yeah. But I have to start Jaylen Warren this week anyway. So there you go. Well. Yeah.

and you made it just down to the wire.

I didn't even realize. So my lineup is, the lineup's already set. So I've got Jared Goff, Jomir Gibbs, Jaylen Warren, Amon Ross St. Brown, Cortland Sutton, Mark Andrews, Keenan Allen, D.K. Metcalf, and the Ravens defense. This is a double flex, no kicker league. And then in the other league, I've got Baker, Devon A. Chan, Kyron Williams, Nico Collins, back for me. Amon Ross St. Brown, John New Smith, Tyrone Tracy.

Trey (13:39.662)
Bears defense special teams and I had to get Will Lutz because Evan McPherson is on by. So now we need to drop Alan Lazard because he's on high. Yep. So I need to monitor the agency.

Yeah, I got bears.

Trey (13:57.576)
I keep fucking this up because I keep forgetting about it.

Like I should not be winning any fucking games was because of this app and borscht and it was the click I'm just gonna say

Bring hell fucking this up dude, I keep forgetting. Okay, so you should because

It really does help. Yeah, it's more like I don't fully sometimes go with it, but it gets me looking at, okay, this guy's a ring, because it's different than what Yahoo has imagined.

was different than CBS 2, I feel.

Wes (14:26.016)
Yeah, like Yahoo will like heavily favor wide receivers and running back or whatever or wide receivers. They'll just over project. Yeah. Fantasy pros keeps it like way more realistic. They'll say, you know, so and so is projected for 17 points and fantasy pros is like more like nine. But it keeps you.

Play Chionis.

Yeah, because if I was to just go by the numbers like, just by simple math, this guy's projected them like that doesn't mean shit.

Okay, so quick rundown here. I'm going to do is say this.

Steelers Browns. Yep. Probably gonna roll with the Steelers on that one. bet. Commander's Cowboys, gonna roll with the Commanders. Buckethead Giants, gonna roll with the Bucks. Yep. Sorry, she just cheats. I'm sorry. Oh, he is himself. I'm sorry.

Wes (15:20.362)
wait Cutlets is playing this week I I know it's not to leave my my head says the bucks are gonna win let's he's go to him he's the reason why I was gonna go cheese

Panthers I'm gonna roll in Chiefs. Patriots and Dolphins. That's in Miami. I'm gonna go with the Pats.

through that.

Wes (15:42.99)
Has started killing all them

playing world? They're there. I'm going to go with the path. Yeah, that's right. They've been playing. They're I have.

I was gonna go with like

Stevenson, he's been doing it. He's been my most consistent. I mean, he's had a bad game here and there, but he's been one of my most consistent.

Well, normally they leave this patched off and said the end of the year when Tom Brady was that it normally did a little later here in the season and they would the Dolphins would always win because you're in Miami

Wes (16:08.833)
And he's not ready.

was mine.

Yeah.

I'm still gonna go with the Pats this time around though, just because I think they break that down. Titans, Texans. I think the Texans are in little bit of a roll here. Lions, Colts. I'm still gonna roll with the Lions. Motor City, Dan Campbell, MCDC. Shout out to that guy. Former Dallas Cowboys, by the way. Vikings, Bears.

I'm gonna roll Viking. I think the vikers.

Wes (16:42.104)
The lag is- that's a tough one because the laggings have had some really good fucking- just defensively-

Broncos, Raiders, I'm gonna go with Bo Dicks. He's Dick Nicks. For Big Dicks Nicks, sorry Nick Foles to take your nickname Big Dick Nick, but when I'm people like Bo Nicks now, I'm Big Dicks Nicks.

Yeah, it's just Bo Dix but like the thing is he was a pickup for Jordan Love like I had no idea who the fuck he was Jordan Love is like I think it was like the worst thing about having two good

yeah, I mean he's

Trey (17:12.983)
Wow 325 game, okay Packers 49ers and Packers at home. I'm gonna roll with the pack. Yeah roll the pack Cardinal Seahawks Gonna roll. I'm gonna roll

Yeah, every time I play when I go, what are they playing? It says Arizona to get their asses.

Yeah, I'm gonna roll Cardinals. Eagles, Rams on Sunday Night Football. I'm honestly, I'm gonna roll Rams. Really? Go Rams.

The evens of this episode surprised me like

That fucking Eagles were I'm not a Rams the Ravens charges Monday night. I'm gonna go Ravens I think the Ravens in the charges mystery. They've won quite a few in a row

Wes (17:52.75)
It's just like, it's a bad day. I don't even go by like how good their team is. It's like I've driven through Baltimore and I'm like, yeah, those guys are just way tougher. has nothing to do with anything. I was like, they shut the wire there, man.

Yeah, you're right. So yeah, no. So, I mean, that's the NFL slate for Sunday. mean,

I mean, I know you guys probably already know this, but what about a professional idiot, a sports junkie telling you the same thing? What is our need?

You know, that's we're here for. That's what we'll do. I mean, you know, I just we, you know, we just wanted to sit here and bring everything to you guys. You know, it's from us to you. Like, you know, it's in the season of giving. Thanksgiving. We're giving thanks and then we're also we're not going to. Yeah, we're going to be giving thanks and then giving gifts on top of that, because that's what we are in a spirit of. I mean, we're the two. Yeah, I mean, yeah, because of the presence.

November, you know what I mean?

Wes (18:46.062)
Residents, I was going to say Secret Santa but that's

Wes (18:51.234)
I was thinking we could do, cause like, we love basketball. What does every basketball team have? They have the matching shoes. And PF Flyers are making a big comeback. I'm just, that's all I'm saying. I've been eye fucking these PF Flyers. It's ready to pull that trigger. It's like gas for PF Flyers.

True.

Trey (19:12.152)
TF Flyers can also be a metaphor for gas.

Right, but because they make you run faster and jump higher, because that's what happened to Benny and the Jet Rodriguez. Sandlot. I mean, he outran the beast.

Yeah, that's true. Which was a big as a- a massive.

That's the coolest mother- Yeah. So, but when I saw like, I didn't realize they were, at first I thought it was just a fake brand. Yeah. And then I saw that they were out, then I read like the history, they've been around for, they were like the first sneaker to give like ankle support. No. Taylor's didn't do that.

Yeah.

Trey (19:46.651)
Bro, the Chuck Taylors, like the people whooping in Chuck Taylors in the back today was crazy.

Yeah, cause can you imagine, and I have a few parable that they now wise it up and do the canvas ones even have heel support like.

Then like my middle school growing up, we literally had like the clay, like not the clay, but like the rubber court instead of the actual hardwood in our middle school gym. Oh really? Up until I was like, I wanna say in like fourth or fifth grade and then we switched. Maybe fourth grade. I remember we used to do our kindergarten rodeo and then yeah, think fourth or fifth grade they switched because that shit was off.

Yeah, was playing on clay. I was like, what are you playing tennis?

Yeah, that rubber core shit was awful. Yeah. Like it was still the old school shit. I'm like the 80s. I guess I'm...

Wes (20:30.072)
Yes.

I know, everyone was on coke then. I think everybody, that's one thing I-

I wasn't born in there. I was born in 95, so I'm guessing that was the 80s. Y'all have clay courts?

Ladies and

I mean, I went to school in Richardson. I just remember it was either tile. I didn't see hardwood until junior high.

Trey (20:50.183)
Okay, see that's what I'm saying. So they had, they switched the hardwood before we got to junior. Okay. It was like I said, fourth to fifth grade. We did, yeah, it sixth to eighth for us.

I just, yeah, what was it? I was just having with my high school all the way till senior year. They still kept the field day. Dude, fucking field day is all day.

I remember this one time, my shoe, like I was running, like the shoes that I use, the sole was coming off the bottom of them at the front, and I was like, people, like my classmates were saying, like, Trey, are you gonna be able to like run in those and stuff? And I was like, no, no, no, Lehigh was young. Yeah, I was like, pretty much, pretty much that ass. I was like, I don't really have much of a choice here. And so I was just like, we were like third or fourth grade, and I was just like, I don't have a choice.

Yeah, dude, got my I got my back in the Zoria horse

Yeah, like I just had these fucking Nike running shoes with the sole coming off.

Wes (21:45.282)
Cause that was the best idea to give your kids. Yeah, hello. Literary. Cross training shoes, yeah.

Give him cross. And then I slipped at the start of the race because my soul, I tried to take off and this didn't work. And I ended up winning the race.

hurt your soul a**hole.

You were Nellie in Longage Yard. crazy. You ran through a ship.

It was nuts like my cousin raised it up all the time He's like bro, you remember a field day whenever yo shoe was fucked up and you tripped and still won the race and I was like Yeah, they're ready to win a baby. No, I was yeah. It was was crazy though I was just like, oh, I literally was like not even worried about losing. I was like, bro. My shoe was Yeah, you literally my shoe was absolutely fucked like who else? Yeah, bro. I swear I was just like

Wes (22:22.998)
My mom's gonna fuck their hillb-

Trey (22:30.222)
I'm gonna give a fuck about this ribbon row. We have like three other events after this. Yeah, I got to run it too. I got to do, yeah, tug of war. I was like thinking, was like, y'all like, she was fucked.

Yeah, that's like having like, if you have like wet jeans or wet socks, you're like, I gotta do this. It's like, don't do it. mate, I'm not thinking about anything.

I have to do this for the rest of the fucking day. Yeah, I had to run a $200. Yeah, I was like, what the fuck are we talking about? On fucking, see this is, and this is before the track got, got in the pellets. Like we got the, the, number chart. Yeah. We had the fucking dirt. Yeah.

That's what we had too, for some bars lit.

It's awful, It's terrible, guys. It was fucking terrible.

Wes (23:10.961)
But I did, I got to admit, I did used to love running basses though.

I was like, burning basses with shit. I remember when I first learned how to actually run basses the right way.

Yeah, when they were like, went from just run straight through it to your rounding.

But yeah, am getting that left foot on the bag and that way you keep...

Oh yeah, when we did this interview year old for, when the company worked for less, before I left Charleston, we did an interview year old. It was slow pitch softball, know, coed teams. And like the three girls that we had on there, it just never played. it was kind of weird because we had a man's, it was like we were man's playing, we're like, no, we're not, because we're just trying to teach you the rule, right? So I just go, if you make contact with the ball, run it.

Wes (23:56.514)
Fast and far, okay, just run through that fucking race. Don't worry about it, we'll get a pinch run, just.

Run through the bases get on base and if you get runners in scoring if you get runners on base and then you eventually get him in scoring position That's how you fucking can also score runs Everyone thinks you have to hit home rather get extra base hits we can hit fucking four singles and get up someone get people right overseas get people on

No, it's cooler than a home run a guy in base with a home run. You know what I mean? Yeah, I mean like don't be wrong. They really love seeing

Yeah, I mean, but like come on now, yeah blue talking about

Yeah, you know how you're going?

Trey (24:31.992)
DUMB

Trey (24:35.704)
Seven minutes, you'll be here at 7.05.

She'll be here. Okay, well we gotta break this down. So hey, this is our first video. If it seems a little janky, it's because we're not perfect.

No, looks fine.

Trey (24:45.038)
It is trial and error and then you learn from your errors. No one's perfect.

Yep, so we're on a new Transistor.fm forward slash second floor studios. They will actually be channels now. Fuck you Spotify. We're on about 15 different channels. He has his own RSSP structure on the end zones. I'm part of the second floor studios. So we're going to kind of get that a little bit more streamlined, but I'm Wes Gaslano.

where I keep

Trey (25:13.102)
You already know what it is.
