Hey, I'm Liz Loza. That's Daniel Dopp. This is Facts vs. Feelings. And today's fact is that we have got a bonus mailbag episode inspired by your voicemails. Thank you all for calling in. Dopp, should we just jump right into it?

**Daniel Dopp** (0:45)
Let's get into it, Liz.

**SPEAKER_4** (0:47)
This is a safe place.

**SPEAKER_5** (0:49)
It's a place where we can feel free sharing our feelings.

**Daniel Dopp** (0:53)
First voicemail we have comes from our friend Anonymous, who has a hot take themselves after watching our last episode.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:02)
Oh, listen to the hot taste, buffalo wings.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:06)
Oh my God, that was amazing.

**SPEAKER_8** (1:08)
Well done, kids.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:11)
That was hilarious.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:13)
Red hot butt juice.

**SPEAKER_9** (1:15)
Dopp can't handle his heat.

**SPEAKER_7** (1:18)
Wow.

**SPEAKER_8** (1:19)
Love it.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:20)
Hot take, Basil Tootin, top 10 RB.

**SPEAKER_10** (1:26)
Liz.

**Daniel Dopp** (1:28)
All right, talk to me about this. How do we get Basil Tootin to be a top 10 running back? What's the narrative here?

**Liz Loza** (1:34)
I mean, it's going to take a lot. I do think we're a little bit on our way because LeQuint Allen, the pass catching running back in Jacksonville is dealing with a soft tissue issue. Currently, he's likely a game time decision for week one. As we know, this season is not just one week long, and Chris Rodriguez has been showing off between the tackles. As a power runner, I am getting increasingly nervous that Rodriguez, who by the way was coached by Liam Cohen at Kentucky in college might have a bigger portion of this pie than we anticipated.

**Daniel Dopp** (2:09)
Liz, I love what you're trying to say here. I love Basil Tootin as an option to be honest, as an RB2 with where we've gotten. He's risen up my ranks coming recently. I'm not sure though I can get to a top 10 running back. It would take a lot, but that's why it's a hot take, right?

**SPEAKER_10** (2:23)
We love the hot take.

**Daniel Dopp** (2:24)
That's the point.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:25)
All right, this next one is coming.

**Liz Loza** (2:28)
I will just say I'll keep my fingers crossed for it because I have plenty of shares of Tootin. So anonymous butt juice appreciation guy. I hope you're right.

**Daniel Dopp** (2:39)
I hope he's right too. I hope he's right too. All right, this next question comes from Brett who wanted to ask you about some tight ends.

**Liz Loza** (2:47)
Oh, nice specialty.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:49)
This is Brett from St. Louis.
I drafted in a startup dynasty league with two tight ends, Colston Loveland, Jeremiah Love, and Jordan Love. Just the way the draft style. What good love pun name can I name my team? Thank you.

**Liz Loza** (3:11)
Well, first of all, I love a dynasty startup with two tight ends. That's not difficult at all. It's not like that position is without its volatility.
But I think, Live Laugh Loveland?

**Daniel Dopp** (3:26)
Oh, that's not bad, Liz.

**Liz Loza** (3:28)
Right?

**SPEAKER_10** (3:29)
Yeah, I feel like it's something you could go into a Home Goods. And like, I want to know the size, right?

**Liz Loza** (3:35)
Yes, exactly. Yes.

**Daniel Dopp** (3:38)
Chippin Joanna Gaines having it on their shiplapped wall. That's exactly what it would look like when they're doing their fantasy drafts.

**Liz Loza** (3:44)
The worst. Yes.

**Daniel Dopp** (3:45)
That's it.

**Liz Loza** (3:46)
I think that's it.

**Daniel Dopp** (3:46)
That's it. I'm going to stick with yours. That is the answer. Live Laugh Loveland.

**Liz Loza** (3:50)
I have one more. I have one more. Because as a midwesterner, I am familiar with the state of Missouri. And I know that St. Louis has a specialty in toasted ravioli. So I was thinking maybe toasted ravioli and tough love as a nod to his city and his team.
No? Okay, I should have stuck with the first one only. Got it.

**Daniel Dopp** (4:10)
What is toasted ravioli, Liz? I have so many more questions now. Okay, we're going to ask you this when the show is over. We have one more question. This one is from Patrick in Tennessee. I shouldn't have said that. He's going to say that. Sorry about that.
