For adults with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis symptoms, every choice matters.

This episode is brought to you by Netflix. The T-Mobile Home Run Derbies right around the corner. Might be one of the best showcases of pure power in all sports. Baseball's biggest sluggers, along with some legendary announcers, Pujos, Rizzo, Bonds, Sabathia, L. Duncan.
Yeah, Hunter Pence, Matt Vaskurzian, a whole bunch of people. And it's the one night where you don't swing to make contact. You swing to make history. I'm interested to see what Bond says about this actually. Anyway, it is all live from Citizens Bank Park in Philly. Watch the T-Mobile Home Run Derby live on Netflix this Monday, July 13th at 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific.

**Danny Heifetz** (2:00)
Welcome to The Ringer Fantasy Football Show. My name is Danny Heifetz, and I'm joined by Danny Kelly and Craig Horlbeck. And today we are ranking tight ends. We're putting them in tears, giving you some sleepers.
But first, we have a quick announcement. We mentioned last week that we had an announcement, and now we can tell you, our next live show is coming up next month. We are going to be in Los Angeles on August 27th, which is a Thursday. So Thursday, August 27th, at the Fonda Theater in Los Angeles, which Craig, that's Hollywood, baby. We're official now, it's Hollywood.

**Craig Horlbeck** (2:30)
We're right in the middle of Hollywood. We're going full Hollywood, thirsty Thursday. We'll be there, special guest. Just kidding, probably not.
But it'll be really fun and you can get tickets soon. Heifetz, what's the ticket situation again? Let him know.

**Danny Heifetz** (2:43)
DK, do you know when tickets go on sale? I bet you don't.

**Danny Kelly** (2:46)
I don't, I'm just here to hang out.

**Danny Heifetz** (2:48)
You're just the passenger princess.

**Craig Horlbeck** (2:50)
He just gets in the Uber and Uber drives him wherever it takes him.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:53)
That's pretty much true.

**Danny Heifetz** (2:54)
Tickets go on sale this Wednesday, July 15th. Well, we're recording this July 9th, full disclosure, you're hearing this next week. So tickets go on sale July 15th at noon Pacific time. And we're using Pacific time because it's in the Pacific times. So noon Pacific and you can get all the details at theringer.com/events. So the ringer.com/events.

**Craig Horlbeck** (3:12)
Why you said Pacific time?

**Danny Heifetz** (3:15)
Because I want to.

**Danny Kelly** (3:16)
Because he just can't help himself.

**Craig Horlbeck** (3:18)
He cannot live with the idea that he bristles.

**Danny Kelly** (3:23)
The idea of using Pacific time.

**Danny Heifetz** (3:25)
I do. It does. I don't live there. It's annoying.

**Craig Horlbeck** (3:27)
The show's in LA. You didn't have to say. Noon PT. We're saying PT because we'll be on the West Coast.

**Danny Heifetz** (3:33)
No, I did. Everyone in the East Coast is like, thank you for the solidarity I represent. Anyway, yeah. So the ringer.com/events. Tickets will be out there at noon Pacific on July 15th. And the show is Thursday, August 27th. All the details are in the episode description. And again, everything is at the ringer.com/events. So check it out there. And we do recommend getting the tickets read at noon Pacific if you want to make sure you can go. So we'll see you there.
With that said, we're going to get into tight end rankings. What's so funny, DK? What's so funny?

**Danny Kelly** (4:02)
Your time zone thing is just funny to me. You have an obsession.

**Danny Heifetz** (4:08)
I'm sorry, I've been radicalized by you calling one.

**Craig Horlbeck** (4:11)
Saying noon PT is fine, that's normal. But then you haven't qualified why you said PT is fucking weird. You don't need to do that.

**Danny Heifetz** (4:19)
Look, I've been radicalized ever since you guys started just calling the first kickoff of the day, morning games. It's really radicalized me.
