[0:00:14] Ad read: Grey Goose believes in the art of living, in choosing the pleasurable over the practical. It's why we craft our premium vodka in France using pure spring water from Genzac. And why you hear the celebratory bump of our cork reminding us to make every martini cocktail count. So go on and make every moment count. Because there's no better time than now. Grey Goose. Make. Time. Wait. Sip responsibly.
[0:01:10] Eric: Isn't that cool? It's a waiting screen. So that way people know we're starting soon. I like it. Yeah. Pretty fantastic. Oh, Andrew likes it. That's good. Well, guys, it's the McDraft. You know how this goes. We're using Sean Bear's site, which you can use as well. It's the regulation draft generator. It's been great for us so far. But we have the McDraft in. We have an egg order for the names. But guys, how many times are we randomizing to get the draft order? How about go first? Mc3 times. Yeah, Mc3. Mc3. Well, OK, hang on. Now, Gavin said something. Gavin was about to say something else. Excited.
[0:01:46] Gavin: Three's great. I kind of want to know what your second idea was. Yeah. You might hear it in this draft. Really? Oh, that's what you almost played your hand early.
[0:01:54] Eric: OK. I almost pre. Three times. Here we go. Remember, it's an egg to start. One, two is Gavin. Andrew, Jeff, Nick, Eric, and Mc3, Eric. Andrew, Nick, Gavin, Jeff, or, as we're also known, Lil Skeddy, Dilly Pop, Babyface, Trigger Man, and the Candy Man, guys. Yeah, the upgrades on this site have been stellar, stunning stuff. But this is the snake draft. This is the way it goes. One, two, three, four, five, five, four, three, two, one. You guys have done it before, but we're going to kick it off with me. Gavin, how do you feel about me having the first pick? I'm not worried. Wow, really? I don't think you were the one I was worried about. Oh, wow. Can I ask? Yeah, can I ask who you're worried about? I was most worried about Jeff. Me? Well, Jeff is going to have two picks back to back, but in order to get there, we have to go in order. And for me, it's the thing that kicked it all off. Number one with a bullet, it's McDonald's. McDonald's is my first number one pick.
[0:03:02] Eric: I have a whole list of stuff. Fries. I think the fries are unstoppable at McDonald's. They're trying to do stuff with seasonings with the fries. It's nice, but the regular fry, the regular fry, second to none. Oh, I know what you're scared I'm going to steal from you.
[0:03:20] Geoff: Oh, do you? God damn it. Whoa. Well, Gavin has an opportunity to figure it out first. Was it on your list? Yeah. Cool. Gavin and I are too synced up right now.
[0:03:31] Eric: Yeah, dude, it's true. The Belvis thing has really changed stuff around here. Was McDonald's on anyone's list? No. Of course. Yeah. There you go. Well, Andrew, since I took McDonald's from you, what do you have? What's your first pick?
[0:03:45] Andrew: I think McDonald's is a great pick. I'm going with a pick that I feel very thankful to have experienced as a kid. Sort of a hero of mine as a child, an all-time iconic movie, and I'm going with none other than Kevin McAllister. The little psychopathic. Taking out Joe Pesci, laying down traps, living by himself, eating pizza, using gangsters to trick pizza delivery guys into free food. Dude, what an absolute legend. Kevin McAllister.
[0:04:21] Eric: Why are you looking at my screen so much? I'm curious how it's spelled.
[0:04:25] Gavin: Nick, are you...
[0:04:26] Eric: I'm sharing my screen.
[0:04:27] Andrew: Are you peeping in real life? He's trying. Are you peeping to see if it's a Mac situation or a Mick? No, no, no. I was more curious if it was double L or one L.
[0:04:36] Nick: I see. Right, but why are you looking at my screen for that?
[0:04:39] Andrew: Yeah, you could just look at your screen. And I'm sharing his screen. Big Caleb fan. Crazy.
[0:04:45] Eric: Yeah, oh, he is doing Caleb stuff. 2026 is the year of the Caleb reference. Wow.
[0:04:52] Unidentified: Man.
[0:04:53] Eric: Kevin McAllister. Interesting pick in the first round to me. I don't know that Kevin McAllister would have gone very high for me. Wasn't on my list. Not on my list, but good pick. Great pick, great pick. Yeah. But we have to go to the new Caleb, Nick. Nick, what do you have? What is your first round pick?
[0:05:11] Nick: I feel like this is a...
[0:05:13] Andrew: Oh, go ahead. Before you make your pick, Nick, I just wanted to make sure. Was this a difficult draft for you because you can't Google it? Because if you type in Mick, it assumes it's an MC. No, it was... I had ideas. I tried to predict your pool. A lot of M&M is if you went the Google route.
[0:05:32] Nick: Oh, no, no, no. Not this time. Not this time. So this one is necessary. It's important. It is the Mick, which drives everything else. It's a MacGuffin.
[0:05:43] Gavin: Oh, from films and that. Yeah. You picked MacGuffin? Yep. I'll take it off my list. That's a great one. Great pick. It can be spelled either way. I look. So do you want... I thought it was M-U. M-U? I thought it was M-Guffin.
[0:05:57] Eric: I didn't know it was...
[0:05:58] Gavin: Is it M-Guffin? M-Guffin.
[0:06:00] Eric: Yeah, I just looked it up. It's MacGuffin.
[0:06:03] Andrew: I think the best part of it is...
[0:06:06] Nick: Oh, it's Mac? It can be spelled Mick. It can be spelled Mick. Okay. Either one is acceptable. Yeah. Well, I mean, how do you want it spelled?
[0:06:12] Eric: You want it spelled Mac?
[0:06:13] Geoff: Is Mac acceptable? I don't think Mac is acceptable.
[0:06:15] Eric: I see Mick Muffin.
[0:06:18] Unidentified: What?
[0:06:20] Eric: Let's see.
[0:06:21] Unidentified: That's a good pick. I see MacGuffin. I think Mac is acceptable. I see something that says sometimes Mick Guffin. I think that's what he was referring to. Yeah. Okay. MacGuffin, a.k.a. MickGuffin. Make it MacGuffin if that's acceptable. Is that what you want? You want MacGuffin? Yeah, let's just keep it.
[0:06:38] Gavin: Wow. It's under precedent. You can spell it MacGuffin, and you're having it spelled MacGuffin in the muck draft. Take the A out.
[0:06:47] Nick: I don't want any technicalities fucking me this time. I just don't. Since I won last time, by the way.
[0:06:55] Gavin: You won with Googling oysters?
[0:06:59] Nick: Yeah. I did. Check the vote, son.
[0:07:04] Unidentified: I'm not worried about the audience vote for your picks, a thing that you just sort of put together without hearing the song.
[0:07:11] Gavin: I think that was not the draft that I lost the hardest ever.
[0:07:16] Andrew: That was a weird draft because I think what we titled it and what we said it was outside of that recording were different things.
[0:07:23] Nick: Yeah.
[0:07:24] Eric: So that's a technicality. Yeah. Why? Yeah. Who is? Who's listening to us? That's terrible. Gavin, the MacGuffin is off the board, so you can't pick that. I know you wanted it so bad. So you have your first round pick. What do you have?
[0:07:39] Gavin: Well, this is the one I thought was important to go before Jeff. Pretty good characters in television. Brothers. It's the McPoyles.
[0:07:50] Geoff: McPoyles. We'll take them off my list. Okay. Okay. From Always Sunny. Yep.
[0:07:56] Unidentified: Oh!
[0:07:57] Geoff: Yeah. Liam and the whole crew.
[0:08:00] Eric: Was that on your list, Jeff?
[0:08:01] Geoff: Yeah, it was my number one.
[0:08:02] Eric: Wow, was it really?
[0:08:04] Geoff: That's okay, though, because I can just switch on over to my number two. Wow, that's crazy. Dude, that was legit. You're number one, huh? Yeah, legit. Wow. Okay. Gavin, I got to desync a little bit. Yeah, you guys are too... Break away. Yeah. I mean, stop holding hands and maybe it'll stop.
[0:08:24] Eric: I don't want to stop holding his hand. It makes me feel safe. Well, the McPoyles are off the board, Jeff, so that blows up your whole board, but you have two picks in the row. That's your first pick of the first round and the first pick of the second round. What are you going to start with of your back-to-back picks?
[0:08:42] Geoff: Well, I'm going to stay in the spirit of that, and I'm going to go with another old-school favorite between Gavin and I that I'm surprised... Hopefully, he was on his list. If not, he really missed out. I'm going to go with Michael McDonald. Oh, shit. He came from somewhere...
[0:08:56] Unidentified: Back there long ago to appear in this draft today. Michael McDonald.
[0:09:03] Gavin: I feel a fool.
[0:09:04] Eric: Yeah. Well, it's what a fool believes, Gavin. That was on my list. That is... That's a... I keep forgetting to pick him in this draft, but this is a great, great pick. In a first round, too. I think that that... To me, that's higher than Kevin McAllister. Michael McDonald to stay on this board and to have Jeff scoop him up. The Dulcet Tones.
[0:09:27] Andrew: What I like about this first round is that all four picks following the first one could hang out at a McDonald's.
[0:09:33] Geoff: Whoa!
[0:09:35] Andrew: Wait, how could a MacGuffin? Hey, look. There's a MacGuffin. Come on. Have a seat. Pull up a chair. No, yeah. I guess not. That's not it. Yeah. You're right. I immediately threw away... To me, the value of the MacGuffin is how it sounds, and I imagined a person associated with it as opposed to what it actually means. I think 90% of the lift of the MacGuffin is saying it, and it's fun. It's very fun. There you go.
[0:09:58] Eric: Michael McDonald. That's great. That's such a good pick. That's a... I have a question. Who's Michael McDonald again? He was with the Doobie Brothers, sang a lot of stuff with Steely Dan, had a song called Who Believes.
[0:10:10] Geoff: He was maybe more referenced than any other single person in the history of Achievement. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[0:10:18] Gavin: Could I potentially still draft Will Sasso as Michael McDonald?
[0:10:26] Eric: Honestly, I would leave that up to Jeff since that was his pick.
[0:10:30] Gavin: It's a real Nick move.
[0:10:32] Eric: It is. Well, it's not your turn. No.
[0:10:34] Nick: I'm going to lead to wins. Yep.
[0:10:35] Eric: Well, here's what we'll do. Gavin, great question. We'll see if you do it in the second round, which kicks off with Jeff and his second pick.
[0:10:44] Geoff: Now, my second pick, I had something written down already, but Gavin's giving me an idea. Okay. Okay. Okay. A little bit of a McIdea, if you will. Oh, no. No, no, no. I'm not going to do that. I'm no Nick. I am going to stick with my original, I guess it's my third pick. Now, my second pick. I'm going to go with one of my childhood heroes. I think I've been pretty loud and proud about this fella. I'm into his whole scene. I'm into his whole crew. I'm referring to McGruff, the crime dog. Oh! I forgot about McGruff. He's there with Woodsy. Yeah. McGruff. Smokey. Yep. My boys. It's really good.
[0:11:22] Eric: He's taking a bite out of crime, just like Jeff is taking a bite out of this list, picking some good stuff to start. I would write to Scruff McGruff, Chicago, Illinois, 60652. That's just me as a child when McGruff sort of lost his, like, prominence. So they went, give him a young nephew or something who's also against crime, but he wears a backwards hat. That's what he is a nephew. So Scruff McGruff is the nephew? Scruff McGruff was the nephew, yes. That is what I remember Scruff McGruff. That was at a time, I think, where it was like, here are, these kids need a kid that can be like, yeah, kid power. And it was just like, that's all like the 90s.
[0:12:08] Gavin: The Scrappy dude, you need the triple. Yes. Yep.
[0:12:11] Eric: Yep. Exactly. That's. Yep. Wow. Scrappy sucks. What? Wow. That's crazy. Puppy power. Shut up.
[0:12:22] Unidentified: You're against puppy power? Wow. It is what it is. That's his, that's his thing. Just that puppy.
[0:12:29] Eric: Gavin, it's now up to you. McGruff the crime dog, something I'm sure you're not very familiar with, is off the board. Off the board. Yeah. You have your second pick in the McDraft. What do you got? My second pick is yet another character from a film.
[0:12:45] Gavin: I don't really make films like this anymore. Still going to pick him. It's McLovin. Ooh. Not really sure what that actor's done since, apart from he did like role models. Yeah. Kick ass. He was in kick ass. Yep.
[0:13:00] Geoff: He's on TikTok a lot, talking shit about Jonah Hill.
[0:13:03] Eric: Is he really? Oh yeah, it's something to do, you know what I mean? It can't be that hard.
[0:13:07] Andrew: He was in the Far Cry 3 marketing. Oh. You know the head that is buried? Oh. That's him. That's his head. Yeah.
[0:13:16] Eric: There you go. Oh wow. I think McLovin's a really good pick, because it's not something that was on my list, but you said it, and that was such a cultural touchstone for a time. And even still, the worst guy you know just out of college is still doing like McLovin style jokes. Yeah. And it's just like, damn dude. Honestly, who it is, it's the guy about my age who talks to the interns at their office job and makes McLovin jokes, that's the guy you have to worry about. Ten years ago, it was somebody doing fat guy in a little coat as like a cultural touchstone, and it's like, ooh, nobody knows what that is anymore. I think. And that's what McLovin is now.
[0:13:56] Andrew: I think McLovin is the pogs of cinema. Wow. That is phenomenal.
[0:14:01] Eric: Cinema pogs. What a man. I think that is great.
[0:14:05] Geoff: Andrew, I think you just coined a new unit of cultural measurement.
[0:14:08] Eric: I really, I really like that. Yes. I really, really like that.
[0:14:12] Unidentified: Wow.
[0:14:13] Eric: Cinema pog. Cinema pogs.

[0:15:16] Eric: Well, I'm a pogs guy myself, but Nick, we need to know if you're a Mick guy. So what is your second Mick pick? You know me.
[0:15:25] Nick: I like food. I like flavor. Uh-huh. And taste is derived from spice. Therefore, I'm going with McCormick spices.
[0:15:33] Geoff: I really like that pick.
[0:15:36] Andrew: I think this is my favorite pick. That should go above McDonald's, honestly.
[0:15:40] Gavin: I just love the confidence trickle out of him as he got through that set up. What, Nick Cormick? What's going on?
[0:15:46] Eric: You have me fucked up is what's going on. Oh, my God. Because the entire time. So we're in the office right now as we're drafting this. And I'm sitting next to Nick. What's up? Who is sitting with his legs crossed and his arms crossed, leaning back, explaining McCormick as his pick. And it has me fucking sighing.
[0:16:07] Geoff: What do you mean?
[0:16:09] Eric: I think it's a great pick. You know me.
[0:16:11] Unidentified: I love food and I love spice. I love flavor. And flavor is derived from spices. McCormick. Anyone, like, specifically? Huh? You got a favorite? Anything garlic. I thought he was going to say salt. I swear to God, I thought he was going to say salt. Salary salt is delicious.
[0:16:28] Andrew: Are you a McCormick spice guy? Or is it the only spice company that you could fit within?
[0:16:34] Nick: It's the only McC spice company.
[0:16:38] Andrew: So you're not necessarily a big McCormick guy. It's really the industry that they're in.
[0:16:43] Nick: They're usually the one that has a bit of everything available. Oh, they do. Yeah, they are definitely.
[0:16:48] Eric: Just want to ask, does this fuck up the rest of anyone's world? No. Good.
[0:16:55] Andrew: Are you excited for the one piece line of McCormick spice? Spices, Nick?
[0:17:01] Eric: Andrew, do you guys have McCormick spices in Canada?
[0:17:03] Andrew: I feel like we do. Yeah, absolutely.
[0:17:05] Eric: Okay. Okay. Well, they're international, you know? Internationally known.
[0:17:07] Unidentified: All over the place. Absolutely.
[0:17:11] Eric: Nick's board so fucking...
[0:17:13] Nick: I mean, it's excellent.
[0:17:14] Geoff: I feel like I have some McCormick Montreal seasoning in my... Probably. Yeah. I think I got red pepper flakes right now.
[0:17:21] Nick: I'm in the plot. I'm in the spice. I am rocking. Guys, Nick is rocking.
[0:17:26] Andrew: I went on McCormick's website. And I'm just... I'm baffled by this. What do you mean?
[0:17:31] Unidentified: There's spices.
[0:17:32] Andrew: Of Netflix's One Piece flavor set sail soon. Set sail with the straw hats and conquer the grand line of flavor as McCormick unveils bold new seasonings inspired by One Piece. Sign up to be the first to know. Who is signing up? Nick, are you signing up? I will now. Can you sign Nick up real quick? Yeah, let's go ahead and sign Nick up. Yeah, we got to get Nick on here.
[0:17:51] Eric: Use the right email. Yeah, I was going to say, do you remember the email address?
[0:17:56] Andrew: I know which one it isn't. I was going to say for the year bundle, Nick. Can I get a quick read? To be fair, Gavin registered both. To be fair, one of them isn't a real email. Do both work? Nope. Well, I could turn on the other one. Why do you? Why do you remember when I was complaining about it in the admin thing and you said shit? Well, that would have been a nice thing to add at that time.
[0:18:22] Gavin: Well, I don't think turning the email on after you've missed the email would work.
[0:18:26] Andrew: But they sent multiple emails. They kept sending emails to that address. I added my email to it. Okay. Great. Spice! Nick, I want to know your feelings on they have a flavor of the year. Ooh, what is it? Which is black, currant, and seasoning. Oh, that's interesting. You black currant guy?
[0:18:51] Nick: How do you feel about black currant? I feel like I'm more into it thanks to Gavin. Because I feel like we don't get as much here in the States. Yeah, that's true. And I don't like it.
[0:18:58] Eric: It's like, I ended up not liking it at all. I like it a lot. It's like different grapes. Yeah, it is like different grapes. And we're certainly in the grapes here in the McDraft. Because Andrew, we have to go to you with your second pick in the McDraft.
[0:19:11] Andrew: People like currants.
[0:19:12] Unidentified: They do.
[0:19:13] Andrew: People do like currants. I'm looking at a lot of things on my board. Over a month ago. And it's interesting how certain things on my list I now would not even consider. Yeah. Cut them from the board completely. I agree. They were very much in that moment. I could go a lot of different ways with this. I'm going to stick with kind of characters that are close to my heart. I'm not necessarily going for the win. I mean, how could you when McCormick Spices is on the board? So I'm going to take, with my next pick, none other than Scrooge McDuck. My favorite duck of all the ducks diving into. Oh, absolutely.
[0:19:52] Eric: Yeah. Life is like a hurricane. He's so rich and so stingy with that money. And his Nintendo game can get very difficult. Oh, it can. Yeah.
[0:20:02] Andrew: I really liked him in Disney Infinity as the Tom Nook. Like he is the perfect Tom Nook type character running a shop. Yeah. He's just great. He's crotchety. I'm diving into those coins. I think he did that in Dreamlight Valley too, right? That's what I meant. Whatever I said, that's what I meant. Oh, Infinity was the toys, the life thing, wasn't it? Yeah.
[0:20:24] Eric: Tough. I have Googled Scrooge McDuck. The people also ask question for Scrooge McDuck. How much money does Scrooge McDuck worth? Interesting question. $315.36 quadrillion dollars.
[0:20:41] Geoff: Oh, wow. Get fucked, Bezos.
[0:20:45] Eric: Hey, eat the rich. You know me. Oh, who is richer? Bruce Wayne or Scrooge McDuck? Believe it or not, it's Scrooge McDuck. No shit.
[0:20:52] Gavin: I believe it now. Of course it is.
[0:20:53] Eric: Yep.
[0:20:54] Gavin: How did he obtain as well?
[0:20:55] Eric: I don't know. Probably generational. Hard work. Do you think he's done it? Oh, you know what? I'm with Jeff, actually. Hard work. What happened to Donald then? I think it's hard work. I think it's hard work. He pulled up. Well, Gavin, what you're not considering is that Scrooge McDuck pulled himself up by his bootstraps. He went from blue to white collar.
[0:21:13] Andrew: He did. Blue to white collar. He listened to Kim Kardashian. He's running Orange Juice Empire.
[0:21:18] Geoff: He put the excuses aside and did the hard work. Yep.
[0:21:22] Andrew: He actually. And what I think is important to note with Scrooge McDuck is that he could buy McCormick Spices, but he chooses not to. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[0:21:27] Unidentified: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that would lead to be a MacGuffin, so that would be a whole situation. He could rename it Scrooge's McSpices.
[0:21:34] Gavin: Yeah. Oh. Nick, would you buy McDuck Spices?
[0:21:39] Geoff: You know he's scrimping. I'm thinking about it.
[0:21:41] Nick: Yeah, it depends. It depends.
[0:21:45] Unidentified: What the fuck does it depend on?
[0:21:47] Gavin: I don't know. Is it owned by Scrooge? Like, imagine if there was a little pot of McDuck's dill. Would you go for it? No.
[0:21:53] Andrew: Was McLovin' It a McDonald's slogan? Yes. McLovin' It? I think it was. No, I'm Lovin' It. I'm Lovin' It. It's just I'm Lovin' It? Okay.
[0:22:04] Nick: Sorry, I'm distracted by the roach vine. Ba-da-ba-ba-ba. Lovin' It. There's a what? There's a roach vine, Gavin. There's a roach? Yeah. Oh, God. Oh, it's dead. How did you see that? No, it's moving its legs. That's what caught my attention. Are you under the table? Am I under? No. It looks like something.
[0:22:19] Geoff: I heard all the spice stock once. It's upside down. It looks like something burst out of its chest. Yeah, we gotta get out of this terrible broom. We just executed on another year lease. Last week. Not good. You got 11 months and three weeks to go, dickhead.
[0:22:36] Nick: Not good. I'm gonna start wearing a mask to this, please.
[0:22:37] Eric: Well, Scrooge McDuck is off the board, and we go to me. Nick put his shirt over his mouth. Yep. So I guess everything is better for him now. I smell good. Great. This is my next pick. Never doubted it. McDonald's off the board, but for me, there's only one McDonald's that matters, and that's Rock and Roll McDonald's. Oh! Rock and Roll McDonald's! The Wesley Willis song. The Wesley Willis, Rock and Roll McDonald's. Wow.
[0:23:09] Gavin: Oh. Yep. Didn't make your rock, not rock draft.
[0:23:13] Eric: No. Well, no. Did we? Did Rock and Roll McDonald's make? I don't think it did. I don't think it did. I think it was an honorable mention, wasn't it? I feel like he's come up in the past. Definitely. Definitely has come up in the past. But as he says, Rock on London, Rock on Chicago. Wheaties. Breakfast of Champions. Rock and Roll McDonald's off the board. I have it. I feel good about it, too. And there's a reason I'm feeling good about it, because I'm only picking real shit here. I'm not fucking around. I'm not fucking around. I'm not doing this, like, half-baked pick, McGuffin, whatever. The only thing I want...
[0:23:48] Unidentified: It's the reason things exist, fool!
[0:23:49] Eric: The only thing I want is the real McCoy. McGuffin? That's a good one, Eric. The real McCoy is off the board. Everything else is just an imitation. And now... That's it. You're locked up. You don't know what to do. The real McCoy is off the board. And that's going to fuck up somebody's list. I know it. Probably Nick.
[0:24:10] Nick: No? No? No. Not even a little bit? I'm going the winner's route. A little late in the game to start. Listen, the reason that fiction and things like that exist is because of a McGuffin. I think you're arguing the wrong winner.
[0:24:30] Andrew: Spice of life. I think you have a winning board right now, and it's not having to explain why McGuffin is it. McCoy is the spice of life.
[0:24:39] Eric: Well, I have the real McCoy, my pick, after Rock and Roll McDonald's. Andrew, we go to your third round. How's your board looking so far? My board is looking pretty good.
[0:24:48] Andrew: I had a hockey player on here that I wouldn't even draft now because I was feeling the Olympics. Oh, look at that. Yeah, they're off it. Now I couldn't care less about them. I think that the most, I think both of my picks nobody's going to take, so it doesn't really matter necessarily what order I go in. It's a big pool.
[0:25:09] Nick: It is a big pool.
[0:25:10] Andrew: It is a big pool. I'm going to continue with things I enjoy, and that is Mick Bain from The Simpsons. Oh, the Arnold Schwarzenegger knockoff. The action star. Simpsons, something that I feel really fondly for but have no interest in engaging with unless it's like a new hit and run style game. Very weird.
[0:25:34] Eric: Very weird fan. Mick Bain was on my list. Oh, also, I think it's spelled like this. I think it's like that. Mick Bain. Oh. Yeah. Mick Bain on my list. Really good stuff. Like the Ane from Payne. Yeah. He's trying. I think he's just trying to get Mendoza, and he's just trying to put a stop in the whole thing. It's tough. Yeah. He's like yelling at the sky and stuff. It's great. That's Mick Bain. Good pick. Good pick. Great action figure. Big McBain. Okay. Great pick. But, Nick, need to know if that blows up your board because we go to you.
[0:26:07] Nick: It almost did because I was also thinking a Simpsons character, but I'm going with one that I think really influenced me. I miss this character very much. I wish he was around for more. Troy McClure. Oh, that on my board also. Either or. Yeah. For sure. I'm Troy McClure. Yeah. That's on my board as well.
[0:26:24] Andrew: Hard to go wrong with Phil Hartman.
[0:26:25] Nick: Yeah.
[0:26:26] Eric: He's so good in that show. Every show he's in. Yeah. And I think that that's, didn't they write Zap Brannigan for Phil Hartman for the Troy McClure stuff? That's crazy. That took two off my board. I mean, it's making it easier for me to make my last pick. Interesting. Yeah. How many more things are on your board? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Okay. So you still got some choices. Oh, I got plenty. I got plenty. For my last pick, I'm not worried about Gavin picking anything I have too. I don't think there's going to be much crossover here. Um, what he's picked so far and what I have. So.

[0:28:00] Eric: Gavin, Troy McClure off the board. So what do you have in your third round pick?
[0:28:04] Gavin: Well, I've been slightly influenced by some of Nick's food talk. You know, he's got the McCormick's. Yep. Got me in the mood. Got my tummy rumbling. Maybe for a little snack. Maybe for some McVitie's Jaffas.
[0:28:20] Unidentified: Jaffa cakes?
[0:28:21] Gavin: Jaffa cakes.
[0:28:22] Geoff: Is it? It looks like mac and cheese.
[0:28:26] Nick: Yeah, why is it a Kraft mac and cheese box?
[0:28:28] Geoff: Yeah. Did they spell Jaffa cakes with noodles? Yeah. Cheesy noodles? No.
[0:28:35] Gavin: The orange goo? It looks like a vellant cheetah pot. Did I not bring Jaffas to the chocolate gauntlet? No. I don't think so.
[0:28:47] Eric: It's like a cookie with like a jam and then covered in chocolate, right?
[0:28:51] Gavin: Well, as you can see from the box there, it's a small cake.
[0:28:56] Nick: Extra small on this.
[0:28:58] Unidentified: So what I said was like wrong? I think you were mostly right.
[0:29:04] Gavin: Well, it's not a cookie.
[0:29:05] Eric: That's not a cookie? So what would you call it? A cake.
[0:29:10] Nick: Oh, it does say cake.
[0:29:10] Eric: Jaffa cake. Yeah, but they have words like biscuit and shit. Like I don't trust that. That's true. You guys are out of your mind. Here's how you know. You guys are nuts.
[0:29:20] Gavin: Here's how you know. When a biscuit or a cookie goes stale, it gets, uh, what was it? It gets soft. Huh? But a cake gets hard. What?
[0:29:35] Geoff: Whoa, whoa. I don't want to stop talking about all this hard cake. You made Eric stand up. You made Eric stand up. Eric's shrugging with his face.
[0:29:43] Eric: You were making a point, but didn't know the point you were making. So you stopped to like, think about it.
[0:29:50] Gavin: Well, I stopped doing it and then it added question marks to what I was saying.
[0:29:55] Eric: I, I just think, look, I don't like going away from the draft board. I'm on your side, Gavin. But like, great point. That's not a cookie.
[0:30:01] Gavin: No, no. That, what you would bite into there is the very soft, very, uh, soft cook.
[0:30:09] Eric: Jeff. Jeff. Cookies can be soft, Gavin. Jeff, you're, Jeff, you're all fucking synced up with him. Do something. We aren't anymore.
[0:30:15] Gavin: The synchronicity broke. You would get the taste of chocolate on top and then there'd be a, a very gooey layer of orange and orange sort of jam-ish, uh, marmalade. Well, not marmalade. Just eat a Jaffa cake.
[0:30:30] Andrew: It's texturally deceiving. It's a deceptive.
[0:30:33] Eric: Do you think that's what killed the roach? So when it gets, when it gets old, it gets soft or hard.
[0:30:40] Gavin: And that's how you know. And that's how you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[0:30:43] Eric: Okay.
[0:30:44] Gavin: But a biscuit, like a rich tea, when it goes stale, gets a bit soft.
[0:30:47] Eric: Don't know what the fuck a rich tea is.
[0:30:50] Gavin: McVitie's rich tea.
[0:30:57] Eric: McVitie's Jaffa cakes are on this board. They're on the list. So Jeff, you have to take them off your list. And I know you only have two picks left, so you got to make them count here. They're back to back. What is your third pick?
[0:31:07] Geoff: Well, my third pick, which is actually my fourth pick, is we're going to go sports for a little bit. Okay. There was a period of time when I would say this was maybe the most well-known trick in extreme sports in the world. I don't know that it still is, but it was in the 90s. I'm talking about the McTwist. The McTwist. Great.
[0:31:30] Eric: A very cool, a very cool move. The McTwist, I think, before Tony Hawk did the 900, the McTwist was the go-to move.
[0:31:45] Geoff: It's what I always did. I was always McTwisting left and right. Hey, guys, check it out. I'm going to McTwist real fast. Is that what you were doing? Oh, you know it.
[0:31:51] Eric: You were still on McTwist. Well, McTwist off the board, and I think that's a great McPick, but Jeff, you have your fourth and final McPick here.
[0:32:01] Geoff: I'm going to go, for my final pick, I'm going to go McFiction, and I got a lot of options for McFictional characters that I want to go with. I think there's one that would be a real winner if I picked it right now, sort of an everyman that I think everybody identifies with and likes and gets behind. But I'm going to go another direction. I'm going to go a guy who has a rock collection who can kick real high. I'm going to go with a Crispin Glover pick. I'm going to go with Marty McFly. Off my board, that was going to be my last pick.
[0:32:34] Eric: Good thought. Way to go. Hello?
[0:32:37] Andrew: McFly, I think that that's a great pick. So did he or did he not kidnap that woman? What? There is a news story with Crispin Glover, like I feel, a month ago where he was accused of kidnapping a lady, but then he said that actually he was the victim in some way. They kidnapped each other? I don't know. Did we ever get a resolution for that?
[0:32:58] Geoff: This is the first time hearing about it. Also, I apologize. I said Marty McFly. I clearly meant George McFly. Oh, you're going George McFly. Yeah, I meant George McFly. I gave you the name of the wrong person. Yeah, sorry. George McFly. Got it, got it, got it.
[0:33:08] Gavin: Oh. Who was in the second movie, but was not Crispin Glover. Yes. Right, because he was too difficult to work with.
[0:33:16] Andrew: Yeah, just a normal guy. Star of Charlie's Angels Full Throttle. That's right. That's right. He was the bad guy.
[0:33:23] Gavin: Yep. It was Full Throttle, the first one? Second one? Second one. But wasn't he in the first one, The Thin Man? Was he?
[0:33:29] Andrew: I remember him in the second one.
[0:33:31] Gavin: Oh, I remember him in the first one. Which one was Pontius in?
[0:33:34] Eric: This is the second one. This is so much breakdown for these movies that I don't like. The second one is.
[0:33:39] Geoff: I'm like, I'm the doctor at the burlesque scene. We should watch them together now.
[0:33:43] Andrew: We have to. We should play the GameCube game. One of my great disappointments. McFly!
[0:33:50] Eric: Well, there you go. George McFly off the McBoard in Gavin. It's your fourth and final McPick. What you got?
[0:33:56] Gavin: I got so many left on my board. It's true. And the one I'm going to pick is an insane move. It's the wrong move. I feel like I did that too. Maybe people get this. Maybe Jeff will struggle with it. What? Why Jeff? It's the number. 1100.
[0:34:14] Eric: Oh. Is it because the way it's written in Roman numerals is that it's 1100?
[0:34:22] Andrew: I want every entity on this board to give you a wedgie and then swirl it at you.
[0:34:27] Eric: Am I right, Gavin? Is that what it is? Oh, is this your cup of tea at home, Gavin?
[0:34:33] Unidentified: My cup of tea at home. Wow. I like it. I think it's great. Well done.
[0:34:41] Geoff: Mick, thoughts? No. Good. It's a safe space. Man, if I would have known we were going to branch out like that, there were a couple I could have picked. Good McNumber.
[0:34:51] Nick: I like it.
[0:34:51] Eric: I'm looking up Roman numeral for... Yeah? Oh. What's wrong? I was looking up a bigger number. You said 1100, huh?
[0:35:00] Gavin: Well, yeah.
[0:35:00] Eric: Okay.
[0:35:01] Gavin: Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
[0:35:02] Eric: I was looking up 11,000 and I went, that's not right. And then it is 1100. I'm going to take your word for it, Gavin. Yeah. Can I believe you? I guess I'll just... Do you want me to write 1100 next to it? Or do you find with MC? What do you want? I don't know. You should. It's your pick. You tell me. Like, you asked Nick how the fuck you want this spelled. How do you want this on the board?
[0:35:27] Unidentified: Can I see what it would look like within brackets 1100? Yeah. Oh, that looks fair. That was good. Is that what you want? Wait, can I say it without the comma? I think that's what I want. Okay. You got it.
[0:35:44] Eric: It's really easy to go home, man. That's really crazy. Like, everyone's going to vote for you anyway. Just, you know, as a fan favorite. I get it.
[0:35:52] Geoff: Well, plus the McVitie's pick was so strong.
[0:35:56] Eric: It gets hard or soft. Wait and see. Which? Which? Whichever is appropriate. Yep. Beat involved? Well, 1100 is off the board, Nick. Sorry. You have your fourth and final pick in the McDraft.
[0:36:09] Nick: Oh, there's so many left in this board. But I feel like I wouldn't be honest to myself if I didn't go with this one. And I'm going sports world here. Colt McCoy. Oh. Oh, what a weapon. The second winningest quarterback in college football history. He played at University of Texas. Uh-huh. And went to a championship game and got injured.
[0:36:31] Geoff: Got an owie from Alabama and then we beat him back. Yeah, from a dirty ass play from Alabama. Yep. Clean play. Yeah, it was actually totally fine.
[0:36:39] Nick: It was just a stinger. And they would have won if he stayed in, I think.
[0:36:43] Eric: Well, there you go. I think me and Colt McCoy are the same age. So that really- Really? Yeah, his career is like over, over.
[0:36:48] Nick: Yeah. Oh, yeah, dude.
[0:36:49] Eric: Yeah, but you're still going strong.
[0:36:50] Nick: Look at me. You're just getting started. Take that, Colt McCoy. He was the starter all four years of college for me. So, yeah. Wow.
[0:36:56] Andrew: Who's he the spokesperson of now? He does- He came in another football guy. I don't remember what the product is. Oh. Maybe it's life insurance?
[0:37:05] Eric: Progressive insurance. Progressive? Okay. I think so.
[0:37:08] Nick: Yeah, he's one of the backup quarterbacks who, when they're like, oh, you need a moment? Have a backup come in or whatever.
[0:37:17] Geoff: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[0:37:18] Nick: He ends up spraying like a nest of bugs. Right. Okay. Cool. That's the ad. He asked.
[0:37:24] Andrew: Can you see if he can show up here to spray our nest of bugs? The ad I'm thinking of is him in another football guy and they're like, hey, we fucked up our bodies real bad. You also can have a fucked up body. You need insurance to cover your body because it can get fucked up.
[0:37:38] Eric: Get fucked up. Get fucked up. Well, there you have it. Colt McCoy, Andrew, I know that that was going to be your fourth pick, but now it's time to change it. So, what do you want?
[0:37:47] Andrew: Got to completely readjust my board. We could always do a quarterbacks injured in championship game draft. That could be fun. Colt McCoy, every pick. I'm going to continue with my streak of just picking things I really like. Great. And to me, my favorite Mick by far. Yeah, I'd say by far in fiction, H.I. McDonough from Raising Arizona. One of my favorite movies of all time. One of my favorite characters of all time.
[0:38:18] Unidentified: It's what? H.I.
[0:38:20] Andrew: McDonough.
[0:38:21] Unidentified: Is that right? That's right. Right.
[0:38:25] Andrew: Okay. I know that. Because when I made my cowboy and redded Redemption 2 online, named them Dignan McDonough after two of my favorite cinema characters. And just feels like a real Wild West name to me. Okay. Yeah. McDonough. One of my favorite Nicolas Cage performances. Fantastic. Yeah. I mean, right. Attempts to do like a live action Woody the Woodpecker, I believe he said. And it translates. It kind of looks like it too.
[0:38:54] Eric: He's got like the whole look and everything. It's exciting. That's a good one.
[0:38:58] Andrew: If you haven't seen Raising Arizona, I'd highly recommend it. Yeah.
[0:39:01] Eric: Solid Holly Hunter performance as well.
[0:39:03] Gavin: Yeah. Oh, she's great in it. Yeah. I have not seen this movie. Really? Oh, really? I haven't either.
[0:39:08] Geoff: What's the MacGuffin? It's a baby, isn't it? It was like the movie that kind of like broke for those dudes. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Coen Brothers? Coen Brothers. I mean, everybody loved Miller's Crossing, but that was the movie I think that like made them like culturally popular.
[0:39:23] Eric: And with that, it's my fourth and final McPick in this McDraft. And then we'll go down the whole McBoard for this thing, but he's back in relevancy. It's in the top of everyone's mind. He's in a movie that nobody's liked, but I do think it's just so they can keep him under their watchful eye at illumination. And to me, that's Fox McCloud showing up in the new Mario Brothers movie. A great character in Smash Brothers, maybe the best Nintendo 64 game in Star Fox. By the numbers, not a fan of Star Fox games, but Star Fox 64, so good, it makes up for every other failing. Perfection. Absolute perfection. Fox McCloud. He was? Yeah. He's so cool. He has metal legs.
[0:40:13] Andrew: He's powerful. I haven't seen the new Mario movie. I do think it's odd from the photos I have seen that I feel like Glenn Powell looks more like Star Fox than the character does in the movie.
[0:40:28] Eric: I agree. This definitely felt like illumination when, hey, we're going to do Zelda in the movie. And then they went, oh, they're already doing like the Zelda movie over here. And they went, what the fuck? Put everything in this. We need to get control over every one of these characters. So they just started throwing guys in this movie so they could just make more illumination movies later.
[0:40:52] Gavin: Do they canonically all have metal legs or is it boots?
[0:40:55] Eric: I don't know. I've always heard that it's metal legs, but I think if you ask Nintendo, I'm sure it would be, are they just boots? Like, they don't have metal legs. We didn't have to chop off their legs so that way they could do like zero Gs and we didn't have to worry about blood. I'm sure that, I'm sure Nintendo would say that, but you know, it is what it is. That's a great final pick. Yep. Thank you very much. And guys, this is the board for the McDraft. Let us know in the comments who won. There will also be a poll on Patreon, but here is the list. I've drafted McDonald's, Rock and Roll McDonald's, The Real McCoy, and Fox McCloud. Andrew has picked Kevin McAllister, Scrooge McDuck, McBain, and H.I. McDonough, or hi, McDonough. Nick has picked McGuffin, McCormick, Troy McClure, Colt McCoy. You just write in McCormick and that's just it? He did not tell me to write anything different. I said McCormick Spice. You want me to write Spice? Sure. I mean, we're at the end and I can change it now. Never called it out. Wouldn't have said anything if Gavin didn't say anything.
[0:41:57] Eric: I internally thought it was weird too. I wrote what he told me to write. Nick has picked McGuffin, McCormick Spice, Troy McClure, and Colt McCoy. Anyway, Gavin has picked McPoyles, McLovin, McVitties, Jaffa Cakes, and MC, which is $1,100. Jeff picked Michael McDonald, McGruff, The Crime Dog, McTwist, and George McFly. And guys, that's the McBoard. How are you feeling about your McPicks? I feel great. Good.
[0:42:27] Geoff: I look at my list. Do you guys think we would ever? We're never going to do another McDraft.
[0:42:30] Eric: No, I don't think so. You want some honorable McMentions?
[0:42:33] Geoff: Well, I have 18 left. Whoa. All right. McSorley's Old Ale House. It's one of the oldest bars in New York. The MCAT I thought would be funny.
[0:42:41] Nick: Okay. Oh, MCAT.
[0:42:42] Geoff: I don't know if I'd get away with it. The McIntosh Apple, Mayor McCheese, Marty, I got Marty and George McFly, Paul McCartney, MC Hammer, I thought would have been a funny one. MC Hammer was on my board, yeah. Steve McQueen, but I thought some of the younger ones wouldn't know who he was. Also on my board. John McEnroe. And then I thought about going for a McDonald's run with the McFlurry, the McGriddle, the McChicken, the McPizza, the McRib. I had Lightning McQueen, and I had Kevin McHale.
[0:43:09] Nick: Oh, that's a good one.
[0:43:11] Gavin: Well, those are great picks. Anyone else honorable mentions? I had Marty McFly, Real McCoy's Crisps, John McClane, Steve McQueen, Jeff was McCready from The Thing, but that was an M-A-C. I was a little bit scared to use that one. Fox McCloud, MC Hammer, and legendary film director, McGee. Oh, yeah, McGee.
[0:43:32] Eric: That's great. The director of Charlie's Angels Full Throttle. Yep. Yep. All of my picks, my whole board, everything that you guys have just said, that clears me out. I don't have any honorable mentions.
[0:43:41] Nick: The only one that's not on there, Ian McShane. Oh, that's a good one.
[0:43:44] Eric: Oh, that's a good one. He was on my list.
[0:43:45] Geoff: I had MacGruber on my list, but I took it off because it's an M-A-C. Yeah. I don't know if I could do it with it.
[0:43:50] Andrew: I also had Ian McKellen. Ooh, good one.
[0:43:52] Nick: Oh, McKellen's a good one.
[0:43:54] Andrew: I had Connor McDavid on my list because of the Olympics, but now he's just an oiler and I was disgusted being in the season. What world would I ever actually pick this?
[0:44:08] Unidentified: Yep.
[0:44:08] Eric: There it is, guys. The McDraft. Let us know in the comments and in the poll who won and what we missed. What would your McPicks be if you can do it without using any of the ones that we have McPicked? But I think that'll do it for the McDraft. You guys feeling good about what you got? Feel real good about it. I'm McLovin' it. Yeah. Ba-da-ba-ba-ba.
[0:44:30] Geoff: And Andrew coined a new cultural, what do you call it? Pugs of Cinema. Cinema Pog. New cultural unit of measurement.
[0:44:45] Eric: All right. We'll see you next time. Bye.
[0:44:50] Geoff: Jesus.
