5/27/14, 2014 Draft - What a Mockery!
On this week's show, we discussed Andre Ellington's value, Sammy Watkins' Value and how old Tom Brady feels inside. We also ran through an entire mock draft during the show. We discuss our picks, our logic behind them and all the beers Dave brought back from Wisconsin.
This week, surprisingly, we did not place any bets. I know it's tradition, but we've placed plenty this year. We also were without a new Game of Thrones episode this week but we still reminisced about what we've seen so far this season. We also discussed the new AMC show "Halt and Catch Fire" . It looks promising and it's about computers, so basically we're sold. We may return to this show after Game of Thrones is over.

5/20/14, 2014 Draft - Grillin' Fools, Fantasy Rookie Report, Joffrey Impersonations
Welcome back to Studio 265, featuring special guest, our Rookie Expert, Shawn Foss. We talked about many things regarding the NFL, including guys named Sankey and Savage. We continued, as is tradition, making bets and dragging our friends down with us.
We looked at the Vegas odds and bet on the teams that we thought would outperform their line the most. The losers will buy bombers for a show at the end of the year, and the winner shall rejoice in free beer. The lines are: Dave - Steelers 8.5 Wins, Shawn - Buccaneers 7.0, Jason - Jets 7.0.
Finally, we wrapped up talking about Game of Thrones. Apparently, the only guests that we have on the show are also rabid Thrones fans, and I'm ok with that. We break down lots of the happenings in last week's episode and get a few thoughts from a non-book reader. Next week, we'll talk about some other shows as Game of Thrones is taking Memorial Day off.

5/13/14, 2014 Draft - I Have a Pork Headache, All the Manziels, Trial by Combat
It's hockey night! Of course I wish that were true, and it's probably Dave's biggest nightmare (the drinkfive Hockey Podcast). As I write this, the Hawks are in OT in Game 6 of the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, and I've still got the draft on my mind. On tonight's episode, we started diving into the draft with two of the top 3 QB's taken.
We got into the latest episode of Game of Thrones, and got to some legitimate prognostication, as we're firmly entrenched in some material that Dave has never read. We're excited for the rest of the season, check out my review of this week's episode here.
Next week make sure you guys join us because we'll get really far into all the fantasy relevant rookies with our Rookie Expert, Shawn Foss. We get a chance to pick his brain, so make sure you call in or ask questions in the chat room. We'll be back with more beer, more football, and probably more pork.

5/06/14, 2014 Draft - Jadeveon, First of His Name
Welcome back to Studio 265 on the eve of the 2014 NFL Draft. This week we hit on several teams that we haven't gotten to yet this offseason, including the Chargers, Chiefs, Saints and Falcons. We also talked about the Dolphins, but this writer thinks they're fantasy kryptonite and should be avoided like the plague.
We had a few beers, as is tradition. This week, we enjoyed the Gigantic IPA and Ruhstaller Black IPA. Both were delicious and we will likely have them again some time.
No bets were placed on this week's show, but perhaps we'll bet on a round of disc golf again next week for the "honor" of buying next week's beers. We'll also have plenty of reaction from the draft and stay tuned to Shawn Foss joining us soon to break down all the fantasy relevant rookies.

4/22/14, Earth Day Munchies, Fantasy News and Breaking Chains
Welcome to the pre-Baconfest show. Honestly, I've been rather distracted all week leading up to Baconfest, so you'll have to forgive us if we bacon a bit too often, which really is never often enough.
This week, we (sort of)returned to our (sort of) degenerate ways by placing another season long bet. While discussion the receivers Smith in Baltimore, I brought up Marlon Brown as a likely #2 receiver. Dave disagreed, and wagered that Steve Smith would finish with more points in a standard league than Marlon Brown by the end of the season. We're putting up a couple of expensive beers, and we shall see what happens.
After running down a few NFL topics, we discussed a few more local topics. We discussed Chicago's newest brewing resident, Lagunitas as well as the upcoming Baconfest. BACON! FEST! Baconfest! Seriously you guys, it's going to be awesome, and we'll get to drink Lagunitas there.
Finally, we discuss Breaking Chains, the latest Game of Thrones episode. We, of course, dug it mightily, as is tradition with this show. Stay tuned for my review of the show in a day or so. We also managed to hit on the season premiere of Orphan Black, which was well liked by both of us.

4/15/14, 2014 Free Agency - Tacos and Guacamole
This week the drinkfive podcast is a three-way conversation. Dave and I were joined by our buddy Miguel Matallanes for lots of fantasy talk and a bit of talk of Thrones. Dave and Miguel even made a bet, but more on that later. This week we broke down (in more than one way, sorry blogtalk listeners!) the progression of a fantasy player and discussed lots of strategy.
We picked three guys who we would like to have on our team this fall. Dave likes Tony Romo, Dexter McCluster and Kenny Stills. Jason (me) wouldn't mind having Eddie Lacy, Jay Cutler and Antonio Brown on my team. Miguel went with Andy Dalton, Josh Gordon and Alshon Jeffery.
After several weeks of drought, the gambling has resumed on the podcast. Miguel bet Dave that Alshon Jeffery would finish with more fantasy points than Brandon Marshall. The loser buys a bomber of their choice.
Finally, we mourned Dave's favorite Lannister, Joffrey, who came to a very colorful ending this week. We gushed over our favorite show for the final 20 minutes of the podcast, and are unashamed in doing it! More pie! Check out my review of the episode here.

This week on the show we celebrate the steak that is known as flank. We dug some underground veggies and of course, enjoyed a few beers and talked football. We caught up on the latest free agency moves and decided that Chris Johnson will probably end up on the Jets, if only because nobody else seems to want him.
We discussed the season premiere of Game of Thrones, which made both of these book readers quite happy. The war is over and we discuss what's going on now in Westeros and what we liked about the episode. For more on the episode, check out my review of episode one here on drinkfive.com.
We finish off the episode talking about possible sleepers for next year. We go through the RB's and WR's, but didn't go too in depth. Look for something later in the week from Dave to go much further down the sleeper rabbit hole that will soon be the 2014 Fantasy Draft season.
