Some defensive tackle news to hit before the adventure begins: Jalen Carter got PAID (02:14), and Vita Vea wants out of Tampa Bay (09:53). Oh, and DK has takes on Madison Beer’s stance in her engagement announcement Instagram carousel with Justin Herbert (14:51).

Then, the lads venture out on their ship yearning for sweet, beautiful sirens they can’t resist in fantasy football this season (22:22) and the ones they’re avoiding with wax in their ears all training camp (38:00). They also each pick their “Go Home to Your Wife” guy in honor of Odysseus (01:05:20).

When they eventually get off the boat, the boys first run through an emailer's breakfast ham (01:17:59). Then, they get in the middle of a Heifetz-Jackie argument about pens (01:21:29) before the second-ever meeting for Ringer Movie Club, where Craig and Heifetz can bully DK over 'Kingpin' (01:27:44). Finally, they close the ‘sode with takes on ‘The Odyssey’ (01:48:16). Heifetz has strong, contrarian opinions, as one would expect.

That’s right, we’re doing sequels now. Josh and Hayden keep the sleepers conversation going with DK and Heifetz for Part 2 of the epic. Kyler Murray (01:33) is far and away in the best situation of his career. Then they discuss several players on the Commanders (13:19), Giants (24:31), and Chargers (39;11), before the convo steers towards naming random NFL players in July and evolves into dissecting T-Pain’s catalog.

(00:00) Intro

(13:19) Norris and DK: Scary Terry (and Chig?)

Craig is out bucket-mogging locals in Hawaii, so the show opens with Heifetz and DK arguing about what the episode is going to be about in front of Yahoo’s Hayden Winks and Josh Norris. Hayden is buying everyone’s Kyle Pitts (04:45) stock. Josh makes the case for Sean Payton’s newest playmaker (13:41). DK is getting all hopped up over Ricky Pearsall (19:50) again. Buy the dip on megastars like Saquon Barkley (27:44) and A.J. Brown (33:11). Then, DK and Heifetz run through some emails about Usain Bolt, hot sauce, and more hockey history (47:45).

(00:00) Intro

(04:45) Winks: An RFFS legend (derogatory)

(13:41) Norris: Craig’s nemesis

The Tier 1 (09:31) wide receivers are obvious if you can trust Steve-O, and the first-rounders in Tier 2 (14:29) should be high-floor producers. Where it gets wild is in Tier 3 (18:26), with the sexy, unreliable alphas. Buyer beware. Then Tier 4 (28:25) is a slop of 16 (maybe 18) guys. Craig thinks Luther Burden III is him. Heifetz wants nothing to do with Burden or Zay Flowers or Chris Olave. Tiers 5 and 6 (59:48) become guys just naming guys (complimentary). Ricky Pearsall. Jayden Reed. Parker Washington. Matthew Golden. Xavier Worthy. Denzel Boston. Khalil Shakir. AD Mitchell. Travis Hunter.

Then, finally, we get to nos. 9-12 in The Seven’s Hottest NFL QB Rankings (01:01:22). Another boyish cutie. A shocking salt-and-pepper DILF at no. 11. First-team All-Aura breaks the top 10, plus the fourth and final former no. 1 pick in the pack. Mmm, mmm, mmmm.

The thank-yous run into another Millennial Banger from Craig. Culture peaked in 2010.

(00:00) Intro

(09:31) Tier 1: True WR1 potential

(14:29) Tier 2: First-round-caliber guys

(18:26) Tier 3: Sexy and unreliable alphas

(28:25) Tier 4: 16-18 guys we don’t know what to do with

(59:48) Tiers 5 and 6: Requires faith

(01:01:22) Hottest NFL QB Rankings: Nos. 9-12

Josh Allen (04:18) is in a tier by himself as the top fantasy football quarterback going into the 2026 NFL season, but where do the best of the rest fit in? Are Drake Maye and Lamar Jackson (16:30) the only two QBs after Allen that belong in Tier 2? Who is the best signal-caller in Tier 3 (33:47), and which quarterbacks outside the top 10 are worth a lifer (56:51)? Listen through Craig’s next Millennial Banger to get the full quarterback rankings, tiers, and sleepers, more hockey history (01:20:14), and DK’s aggressive stance on 'Transformers' as part of our first-ever Summer Movie Club (01:25:52).

Brock Bowers and Trey McBride (09:56) are best in class regardless of situations. But where do you stand on sophomores Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren (18:41)? Should Tucker Kraft (27:41) be in the second tier? Keep listening to find out where DK would take Kyle Pitts (33:27) in the privacy of his own home, all of the tight ends that play more than Dalton Kincaid (46:22), and the first four quarterbacks on The Seven’s list of the (sexy? sweet?)16 Hottest NFL QB Rankings (01:02:24). We also get into more hockey history (01:22:42) and Craig drops another Millennial Banger.

(00:00) Intro

(09:56) Tier 1: Bowers and McBride

(18:41) Tier 2: Two rookies and (maybe) Tucker Kraft

(33:20) Tier 3: Dead Zone

(43:27) Tier 4: Some part-time TEs and a bunch of old guys

(52:41) Tier 5: Everyone else that matters

(01:02:24) Nos. 16-13 of The Seven’s Hottest NFL QB Rankings

DK has an old sailor tattoo rotting on his arm that reads “Volume Is King” (03:12) under a rusted anchor. So many quarterbacks can run now that Craig is starting to doubt a five-year tattoo (11:25). Watch 'Wild Hogs' to connect properly with DK’s years-old chest tattoo (18:24); Heifetz will always buy the dip (45:29). Dive in to get the full list of the crew’s Summer 2026 Memento Tattoos, new Polaroids to add to the catalog (48:49), Monster Energy Big 12 (01:07:59), and USMNT’s embarrassing World Cup exit (01:10:34). Craig also continued his Millennial Banger takeover of DK’s band mentions after shocking the world with Usher’s "Love in This Club" on Monday’s episode. Write all of this down! Make sure to write all of this down.

(00:00) Intro

(02:52) Summer 2026 Memento Tattoos
