Alright, welcome in What's Wright? with Nick Wright episode 516 This episode of What's Wright? with Nick Wright is presented to you by Boost Mobile. A reminder for everybody to like, rate, subscribe and review. So this is our Picks show. And we'll get to it in a moment. The last two weeks of Picks, after a really excellent first three weeks of the season, were 2-8. We're back-to-back 1-4 weeks. I'm being mocked for it mercilessly on the internet. You know, such is the cost of doing business. But I have a confession here, Damonza, and it's good to see you. Good to see you. And it's because I've been a little distracted. And this is one of the reasons that I, for a decade, quit fantasy football was because once I get back into fantasy football, I really, it takes over a big part of my brain. And I'm in a fantasy football league with the First Things First staff where, of course, I'm undefeated and have the best team in the league.

I'm in a high stakes fantasy football league where I'm in second place and have the second best team. One guy has Kenneth Walker and James Cook and his team is just rolling.

But that's only a piece of it. Like, I only have so much of my brain allocated to NFL picks.

So, like, fantasy is peeling away a little bit. But the big thing that's peeling it away is the Survivor competition we discussed yesterday. I know you guys want to revisit that today in case people missed yesterday's show. So you take it away, then we'll get to our picks.

Damonza (1:44)

Yeah, before we get to the show, we've got to check in our Survivor pick. You now have the third most valuable entry remaining and no one is asking you to hedge. But for reference, our worst entry just sold for 75 percent of our entry for twelve thousand five hundred bucks. Are you starting to sweat this one out?

Nick Wright (2:01)

If you're not watching, if you're just listening, Pool Genius put up a tweet about the twenty one million dollar Splash Sports Survivor contest and it says their injury valuation tool is live and Get Nick Wright has the third most valuable entry starting the week. They pegged my entry worth right around sixteen, seventeen thousand dollars. They're wrong though, because my entry is worth precisely twenty one million dollars, because that's what first place is going to get. And, no, I'm not starting to sweat. And I have, you know, don't have to get ready if you stay ready, so to speak. And I have, and I'm opening it on my computer right now, a, I would call it a document. Some people would call it a manifest of different survivor paths. And I am pretty locked. I am locked on what I'm doing in week six.

I am pretty damn locked in what I'm doing in week seven. It is a risky maneuver I am attempting in week seven.

But I'm here to tell you, we get through week seven, and this, my singular entry, I think it'll be worth a hundred grand. And so you might be asking me, Nick, would you, you know, would you sell not all of it, but a piece of it? And the answer is no. That I won't sell, I have given out a few percentage points in Good Vibes Free Rolls to other high stakes gamblers. I've given out a percentage point to Damonza for a down payment for a house. It would be more than a down payment. One percent is 210 grand. It would be a lot.

But I'm going to win.

Damonza (4:00)

I don't think there's anybody in the pool watching the pod.

Nick Wright (4:04)

That's what I'm saying. That's why I can't give my picks. That's why I can't tell them what I'm picking.

Damonza (4:09)

What?

SPEAKER_3 (4:10)

Is anyone in the pool?

Nick Wright (4:11)

Listen, you know what? Let me say to the other people in the pool, do what that guy did and sell your entry. Take your money now.

Take it now and I've got a buddy who max entered. He has fought 150 entries in it and he's got like 40 left. He's drawing dead because he doesn't have my entry. I'm the only person in the whole contest with my specific, those five teams picked, Giants, Raiders, Panthers, Vikings Texans.

Damonza (4:49)

If you haven't gone Doctor Strange on your picks, leave the contest.

Nick Wright (4:53)

I'm just telling you right now, I'm gonna win. Oh, wow.

What a Photoshop. All right. Now, let's get to the actual picks, which in week five were a catastrophe. Week four, I had some justification. Week five was a catastrophe. Go ahead, Damonza.
