Speaker 4 Hello, and welcome to another piece of regulation supplemental content. Today, we are going to be doing the regulation best days of the year draft.
My name is Jeff Ramsey with me, as always.

Speaker 4 Andrew Panton, Gavin Free, Eric Bedour, Nick Schwartz. Are you guys ready? Do you have your days prepared? Oh, I have so many days.
This may be the draft I understand the least.

Speaker 4 You can't.

Speaker 4 What's not... What's...
I feel like you said that every draft the past three drafts.

Speaker 4 and then you showed us that you didn't understand the last one when we got to the last round so like what what don't okay gavin what don't you understand about this what was what was the last round i think it was the uh the bird not bird yeah and then like you got yeah you got first like superman and then you didn't want and then you didn't want and then you didn't want nick to have one or something it was really confusing not bird not bird

Speaker 4 but this is just simply best days of the year gavin what's there not to get okay well i hit what i get first i'll say that what

Speaker 4 So, okay. I want him to go first.

Speaker 4 Anything we can clarify? No. All right.
Cool, man. Well, you know, I can't get examples, I assume.
I just don't want to go first really badly. I want to go fifth.

Speaker 4 Well, that's how you guarantee to go first.

Speaker 4 Congratulations.

Speaker 4 Well, it's the best days of the year draft. And also 325.
I agree. And also, tomorrow, we will have the worst days of the year draft, guys, back to back.

Speaker 4 So you can get the best, you can get the worst, you can know it all, and you don't have to wait very long for it. And I think you check one of those out on Patreon.

Speaker 4 I think one of them is going to be on Patreon. So either this one or that one.
Don't worry about it too much. It's going to be worse.

Speaker 4 That matters if you're listening to this the day this video comes out. It is useless knowledge from that moment on.
Absolutely.

Speaker 4 Yeah, because all the rest of this knowledge is so crucial.

Speaker 4 Guys, we need to randomize how we do this snake draft because we go one, two, three, four, five, five, three, five, four, three, two, one,

Speaker 4 But we need to figure out what order we're going in, how many numbers, how many times 365 days in a year. 65.

Speaker 4 Oh, God. You should have shut the everyone, should have shut the fuck up.
Get the. No, this is what I wanted.
I'm happy about this. I was going to say seven or 12.

Speaker 4 I was going to say seven also.

Speaker 4 Oh, that's in a week. Do you have do you have one of those like muscle puncher machines? Did you see Summer of 98? I did.
Yeah, really. That's a good Easter egg.
Oh,

Speaker 4 yep.

Speaker 4 How's your finger? That's that's fine you're halfway there

Speaker 4 you

Speaker 4 go

Speaker 4 what number do you think it got to

Speaker 4 150 I think is about where it kicked nice 69 was nice

Speaker 4 it just loops summer 98 uh oh so was it 150 Jeff I think it was right around 150 well we'll figure out now won't we when it when it loops again when it loops again so we're at oh you went was it 150 maybe 160 nope oh it was 160 when it it goes to 16.

Speaker 4 Interesting. Okay, so 160 times.

Speaker 4 But it's not times 2 because it just goes to 60. It goes to 16.

Speaker 4 So it'd be 160.

Speaker 4 Times 2 minus 16. Minus 16.
32. Minus 32.

Speaker 4 No, no, no, because we only did it. My discode crashed.
They reset two times.

Speaker 4 Oh, I see. I'm sorry.
Yes.

Speaker 4 Just do seven more, and that's good.

Speaker 4 Seven more from 16. But we're at 304.
All right, well, then do 52 more.

Speaker 4 52.

Speaker 4 Show them by watching this like

Speaker 4 didn't anticipate that.

Speaker 4 Didn't

Speaker 4 expect it to be this stupid. 50.
All right, guys, we got two more randomizations. This is where it would be.

Speaker 4 This is where it would be.

Speaker 4 This is where it would be. Gavin.
Gavin.

Speaker 4 We have two more. Two more.
It would be Gavin, Nick, Jeff, Andrew, Eric.

Speaker 4 Nick, Gavin, Andrew, Eric, Jeff. And our final last one.

Speaker 4 Jeff, Eric.

Speaker 4 Gavin.

Speaker 4 Nick.

Speaker 4 Damn it. Can we just go with the Gavin one?

Speaker 4 Yeah, let's just go back to.

Speaker 4 And plus one to grow on. One for flinching.

Speaker 4 Well,

Speaker 4 why do I hear myself in Gavins? It's only Gavin's two.

Speaker 4 Mute me. I'm more concerned about the recording, but it's fine.
You're muted. No, it'll be fine.
It'll be be fine. Okay.
I'm so glad there were more clicks. All right.
Are we ready to go?

Speaker 4 You guys got all your shit figured out? I'm ready.

Speaker 4 Do you?

Speaker 4 I'm fucking, I was born ready, Nick.

Speaker 4 Listen, that's not my last two or three drafts. It's not my fault.
That's your team shit. That's a great fucking bed.
That is a great.

Speaker 4 The last few drafts, Jeff has absolutely not wanted to go first, but today he's raring to go. I don't give a fuck, man.
Back-to-back, I believe, first overall picks. I've been through hell and back.

Speaker 4 I've gone first in the worst possible possible situations. Going first today means nothing to me.
Okay.

Speaker 4 What's the best? Tigers are still in the playoffs. Dodgers advance.
What do I care? I'm happy.

Speaker 4 Sorry, Nick.

Speaker 4 Really rough night for you.

Speaker 4 Okay. I don't know what you're talking about.
For my first pick in the best year, days of the year draft, I had a lot of, I had a lot of opportunity.

Speaker 4 There's 365 days in the year to pick from, and I'm only going to be picking four today, which leaves 361 very unhappy days that are wondering, why didn't Jeff like me?

Speaker 4 Why wasn't I enough for Jeff? I looked at, I surveyed all of the days.

Speaker 4 I looked at each one equally and I thought about days that are important to me in my life, days that I would consider to be the best days of the year. But then I thought.

Speaker 4 Do you remember that conversation we had a while back about how there were only 12 holidays in the U.S. and how shitty that is and how other countries have more holidays?

Speaker 4 And how I said maybe we should declare a hookie day every year

Speaker 4 to play hooky.

Speaker 4 Well, I've taken that idea and I've plussed it up a little bit. Instead of picking from existing best days of the year, I'm going to create best days of the year.

Speaker 4 For instance, 3-4, March 4th, you're going into your third month of the year. You're just getting started.
It's time for a break. March 4th, that's the first hookie day of the year.

Speaker 4 It's the first regulation hookie day. That is my first best day of the year, March 4th.
So our first hookie day will be March 4th, 2026. Yes.
What day of the week is that? Who cares?

Speaker 4 Well, I mean, if it's a weekend, it's a Wednesday. Perfect.
Yeah. There you go.
It's one of the four best days of the year.

Speaker 4 Who cares if it's on a Sunday? Every day's a Sunday for you. Every day's a Sunday for you if you want it to be.
All right. I don't think that's true.
Every day's a Sunday for you. March 4th.

Speaker 4 There you go. Happy Sunday.

Speaker 4 It's Jeff Fix. March 4th.

Speaker 4 Let me tell you right now. You guys make your little jokes right now, Nick?

Speaker 4 Your little bitter quips because of your team? I get it. But March 4th.
I don't know what you're talking about.

Speaker 4 March 4th next next year, you're going to be singing my praises because you're going to be playing hooky. It's like Pegel.

Speaker 4 He just picked Pegel again. It feels Pegel.
He just, yeah, he decided that it's like, oh, I'm doing like this other thing. And he's just picking Pegel again.
You're welcome. I'm giving you days.

Speaker 4 I appreciate it. I'm taking it.
Well, I have the second pick, which is truly based on this, the first pick, of the best days of the year. And I'm going with November 1st because,

Speaker 4 because

Speaker 4 when you're all done with the trick-or-treating, oh, my costume, I did all this stuff. Oh, my feet are so tired.
I've been walking around or whatever.

Speaker 4 You wake up the next day, sack of candy hanging out. Oh,

Speaker 4 the air is crisp like the night before. The sack of candy is ready and waiting for you.
You don't have to share or divvy up with your younger brother who doesn't like this one, but I want this one.

Speaker 4 Who cares? What you got is yours. You eat it to your heart's content.
And

Speaker 4 when I was in grade school, when I was in elementary school, November 1st, you could bring your Halloween candy in and eat it all day long. That is why November 1st is the greatest.
Bravo.

Speaker 4 I think that's a terrible pick.

Speaker 4 It is certainly not March 4th.

Speaker 4 The air is crisp. The air stinks of rotting pumpkin.
Are you crazy? Why are you shitting on March 4th? It's going to be a holiday for you. You're going to fucking love it.

Speaker 4 The air stinks of rotting pumpkin. You know what you're going to be doing on November 1st? You're going to be going to work.
You know what you're going to be doing on March 4th? Taking the day off.

Speaker 4 Okay. He can take off on the 1st.
Well, Gavin thought that was a terrible pick he can call him sick if he wants to November 1st is a Saturday oh you can't even take congrats on your day off

Speaker 4 hey hey every day's a Sunday Gavin pumpkins last till Thanksgiving sometimes Gavin do you feel better about picking now after these first two picks uh yeah a little bit yeah okay yeah yeah yeah a little bit yeah all right go on my first pick the first

Speaker 4 of may now may is a great month it's The weather's getting all good. You've got the excitement of summer coming up.
You've got all the plans coming up. May is really quick to write.

Speaker 4 And myself and some of my friends have some lovely Gemini birthdays.

Speaker 4 It's a day of optimism.

Speaker 4 There you go. You know what? That's what they're always saying about me.

Speaker 4 I love a day of optimism. May 1st, 2025, Austin, Texas, 94 degrees.
We're looking forward to summer, guys.

Speaker 4 Primed. Oh, the days ahead.

Speaker 4 Bright and long. I'm sure Gavin's thinking more globally than locally.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 He's trying to include the entirety of an audience, not just the Austin audience. Globally, on November 1st, where the air reeks of rotting pumpkins.
All of... Globally, the stink.

Speaker 4 Well, the air is going to reek of rotting pumpkins in more of America than it's going to be 94 degrees. That's a localized thing.
May 1st. Do you have a note, Gavin, where May 1st is written? Yeah.

Speaker 4 Okay.

Speaker 4 I can see his notes.

Speaker 4 It's right there. He's judging.
No, I'm not judging. I'm just curious because he was confused.
So I like, I was curious if this is what he had or if he adjusted or

Speaker 4 very fair. You didn't go on the fly.

Speaker 4 I could have gone one of two ways with this. I think I went the correct way.
I don't think so.

Speaker 4 I'm excited to find out what a lot of way was. A lot of judgment for people's days.
Zero judgment. I mean, who's judging? No, I'm not hearing it from you, Andrew.
I'm hearing it from across the room.

Speaker 4 Hello. That's the one.

Speaker 4 That's

Speaker 4 oh, the one, yeah. Andrew, do you not know the seating plan of of the office uh you and jeff and then nick and eric that's us yeah i guess i do

Speaker 4 they made a really they made a really big deal

Speaker 4 about sitting next to each other they made and they're still like they're still talking about you goddamn right we have we did and we were happy about it we can hold hands while we play video games now it's true and i can fart on someone who's farted on me for 50 minutes

Speaker 4 that's a good day well well

Speaker 4 speaking of speaking of years a year has days and Andrew has his next pick with the day, the best day of the year. The best day of the year, undeniably, is a day that doesn't occur just once.

Speaker 4 You guys are really focusing in on singular days when

Speaker 4 you don't need to. There's better days than just a single day.
This was the other way I was thinking of. Yeah, I had a feeling.
I had the same thought. My best day of the year.
is payday. Payday.

Speaker 4 That's a good day. Every payday of the year.
What, Gavin? I'm not done making my pick before you complain about it.

Speaker 4 Sorry. I couldn't hear you because I was in the midst of making my pick.

Speaker 4 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 Go ahead. Let me stop making my pick so you can.
No, no complain. Tell me what's wrong with it while I was still explaining it.

Speaker 4 Well, I was, I was, my first pick originally was payday, and then I thought, well, there's, I assume, 12 or 24 of those, and people would be like, which payday? And then I'll go. Any of them?

Speaker 4 Any payday is a great payday. There's nothing

Speaker 4 acceptable. Okay.
Worse than you're at the end of a month and you're trying to make ends meet and it's stressful, let's say.

Speaker 4 Maybe you're trying to figure out a food thing. Then you hit that payday and all of that money goes to bills and other things, but you're excited about it.
Go get yourself a burger potentially.

Speaker 4 It's a great day. Optimism.
You're saying May 1st, optimistic day. Payday, all-time optimistic day.
And there's several of them throughout the year. Yeah.

Speaker 4 I mean, your pick really eclipsed Gavin's pick right away. I mean, assuming you have a job,

Speaker 4 what if you got laid off? Well, if you got laid off, then you don't have one. Yeah, then you don't, then you don't celebrate a payday.
Then you got to anticipate, you got to wait for May 1st.

Speaker 4 You got to hope that May 1st hasn't happened yet.

Speaker 4 That's a big optimum. Otherwise, you got to wait a year.
If it's past May 1st and you've been laid off, it's just your year is over by the sounds of it.

Speaker 4 Yeah,

Speaker 4 you can wait for November 1st when the air reeks of rotting pumpkins. Yep.
Payday. Payday on the board.
Nick, what you got? Going with,

Speaker 4 I think, a better day in May.

Speaker 4 May 11th, the founding of this very company that we

Speaker 4 are among. Rising from the ashes.
That's a pretty good pick, I think. That is a pick.
It is really strong. I hadn't thought about making it personal in that way.

Speaker 4 Didn't really consider it a great day, but I guess I should. Yeah, it's the, yeah.
Well, as we discussed, it's also the day. Where we did a Minecraft Let's Play for the first time.

Speaker 4 Day I signed up on the website. I should have picked that day.

Speaker 4 It's a a great thing you got the game, Gavin.

Speaker 4 You had the optimistic May 1st where you were 10 days away from doing some really exciting stuff.

Speaker 4 My May 11th was far more optimistic, I would say.

Speaker 4 You were merely, Gavin, you were merely always a week and a half away from life-changing events.

Speaker 4 Even if half the number. Nick, great, May 11th.

Speaker 4 So that plus all the other shit Gavin said about, you know, summer coming up.

Speaker 4 Yeah, well,

Speaker 4 that feels, May 11th feels way more optimistic to me than I think so. Personally, so optimistic, personally, personally, I like it.

Speaker 4 Palmala ultra click or tap the banner to shop now or visit palmolive.com i picked it you did and now you also get your second pick in this draft now this one is i think personal to me but i think a lot of people can agree with me on this i'm going with the day after thanksgiving the friday the day after right it's the day where you can calm down from seeing all the family you've had that camaraderie you've seen or you know or or you're you're out of it now thank goodness whatever whatever whichever uh way your family goes.

Speaker 4 But on Friday, you get to sit down, watch some college football, you get to enjoy yourself, and there's leftovers, and you don't have to deal with the pressure of dealing with other people.

Speaker 4 Oh, just let it all come in. Ah, and it is cool and crisp.
And there might still be the smell of pumpkin in the air

Speaker 4 because it's not quite winter yet. I mean, isn't it just Black Friday? Why are you calling it the day after Thanksgiving?

Speaker 4 I don't go with Black Friday. I love opening presents the day after Christmas Eve.
It's a great day. Yeah, I would consider Black Friday to be one of the winters.

Speaker 4 I would consider Black Friday to be a holiday. That's why I didn't say Black Friday.
I said day after Thanksgiving. It's different.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I guess if he said Black Friday, he would be specifically noting the events that occurred during Black Friday. Yeah.
I don't give a shit about that. I'm sitting at home.

Speaker 4 Yeah, he's adjacent to the money. You know, online looking for Cyber Monday deals? No, that's Monday, silly goose.
All right. Are you

Speaker 4 doing Black Friday Cyber Monday stuff or what's up? It's all the same day at this point. Yeah, it's all bullshit.

Speaker 4 Just a week of stuff pretending to be on sale. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Marked up to be marked down.

Speaker 4 I probably wouldn't have picked this day, but it's a good, like you're done with like the obligation. You're on the other side of a big one.
And

Speaker 4 I don't really care about college football, but you know, it's a nice day. It's a day off.
And you know it's a Friday, which is nice. So that's, that's pretty good.
Jeff, thoughts? Uh,

Speaker 4 I would, I don't know. I would figure day after Thanksgiving is cool if you like sports and your family, but a lot, it could just be a lot of apologizing for

Speaker 4 the fight at dinner the night before and then feeling bad about yourself because you ate too much. And now you're like, I got to start fucking running because I look like shit in the mirror.
Not yet.

Speaker 4 I can't believe I ate an entire fucking pie by myself. I don't know.

Speaker 4 I can wait till Monday. Cyber Monday.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 Is this a bounce back, Jeff? Or do you feel like you have to come back at Nick because you felt he was coming at you earlier? No, I think, no, I think May 11th is a great pick by Nick.

Speaker 4 I think that was an awesome pick. I have no criticisms there.
I think that was excellent.

Speaker 4 That's probably going to end up being the best pick on the board when we're all when it's all said and done i just i don't consider the day after thanksgiving to be a good day

Speaker 4 okay well there you have it uh luckily we're only in the second round because we go to andrew next with his second pick second pick i'm thinking about my life as a whole most excited about days there's a constant there's a constant day that oh and excitement Because it opens up to a whole section of days, months of days, and that is the the first day of summer break.

Speaker 4 It's an incredible day. You're done with school.
You have your whole summer in front of you. Get to do whatever you want.
You play games. The weather's nice.
You have swimming. No stress.

Speaker 4 Don't have to think about anything school-related. No dumb projects.
No work.

Speaker 4 Just get to relax and enjoy the summer. When was the last time

Speaker 4 you got to enjoy the first day of summer break? Absolutely. Thank you.
Thank you so much. I was a teenager.
Yeah, when I was in school, when I was a kid.

Speaker 4 What are you now? I'm an adult,

Speaker 4 but

Speaker 4 here's the thing, though. I'm thinking about my life.
Those are truly, when I think back of best days of my life, the feeling of knowing I don't have school for like two months.

Speaker 4 You don't have school for 60 years now. What do you mean? Every day, every day of your life is the first day of summer break.

Speaker 4 But now I pay taxes, I have responsibilities, I'm an adult.

Speaker 4 I'm constantly having to do a golf thing. As a kid, I hit summer and my responsibilities ended.

Speaker 4 It's a nice memory for sure, but now, like, as it affects me now, the last day of the first day of summer break is like, oh, shit, there's kids everywhere now.

Speaker 4 Now I can't go to mini golf. Because now, like, the only thing that goes theme parks for the next two months.

Speaker 4 Yeah, that's what Nick has now is that he's got to figure out what to do with this little rascal for like the next three months or whatever. Fuck.

Speaker 4 Hey, Nick, how great is the first day of summer break for a parent? I'll let you know this year.

Speaker 4 Nick is Nick is Nick's kid is right at the age where it's about to happen. He's got to figure out what to do with them during the week.

Speaker 4 I'm not drafting based on my parents' best days of the year or Nick's best days of the years. No, you're drafting based on when you were nine years old.

Speaker 4 I'm basing several. You're drafting on a window of like seven years.

Speaker 4 Yeah.

Speaker 4 And those were a great seven years, Jeff.

Speaker 4 That's phenomenal. That's fair.
God damn. That's fair.
You can take your May 1st optimism. I got two months of optimism.
Well, again,

Speaker 4 it's Gavin's May 1st optimism. I'm excited to see what Jeff's next pick is because March 4th is still the first pick on the board.

Speaker 4 But now, with May optimism in the rear view, we go to Gavin to see what his second pick is. How do you have two months of optimism? Surely at the end of two months, you're not optimistic.

Speaker 4 You're like, oh, I've got to go back to school. Yeah.
That doesn't happen.

Speaker 4 Well, I guess, yeah, when did I, you know, it was so long ago, I don't even remember what months I got off, but it started becoming a bummer when you would get YouTube ads for school supplies going on sale.

Speaker 4 Oh, yeah. Didn't have YouTube when I had summer price.
Oh, it's commercials. They were commercials.
They were on television. That sounds like a you problem.
A great, uh, great day of optimism, Andrea.

Speaker 4 Just like the first of May, I'm going to pick another day of optimism.

Speaker 4 A day of excitement, looking ahead, like, oh

Speaker 4 you know i would say that i get bummed out in the year around

Speaker 4 november 1st to me there's nothing to look forward to in that month it's just gray you know growing up in england especially oh yeah it's the best but on december 21st which is notable it's the shortest day of the year it's kind of cool it's like wow i went to school in the dark and came home in the dark that's kind of crazy But now the days are getting longer.

Speaker 4 And that is optimism. 21st of December.
This guy's the lab to bring up school experiences, and no one's going to go on the attack here. Great.

Speaker 4 I was waiting for him to finish because he's using this England example thing or whatever, but surely you're not going to be spending your Novembers in England.

Speaker 4 We don't want to interrupt him like he interrupts you. Well,

Speaker 4 here's the thing. It could also apply to school.
I mean, for work, damn it. It could apply to work.
I went to work to the dog.

Speaker 4 Ah, shit.

Speaker 4 This might be

Speaker 4 the most useless draft

Speaker 4 that I think. I'm going to call it now.
I think there's a good chance someone's gonna get legitimately angry by the end of it.

Speaker 4 I think this is gonna be one of those ones that somebody's gonna take a break after

Speaker 4 really.

Speaker 4 I can feel it coming. I'm feeling good.
I don't think it's me today. I know I feel good about everybody's days.
I feel great.

Speaker 4 I'm feeling May 1st optimistic, honestly. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 4 Well, Eric, why don't you take that optimism into your next pick? Why, Jeff, that's exactly what I'm going to do because the optimism isn't just for looking forward to summer. No, no,

Speaker 4 because there are many extravagant holidays around December, mostly Christmas. Well, really only Christmas.

Speaker 4 And I'm going to pick December 15th because you are only 10 days away from Christmas, but you get all of the festivities, all of the joy, all of the decoration, all of the fun and merriment of Christmas, but for so much time beforehand where you're not actually celebrating Christmas itself.

Speaker 4 And and it's six days before gavin's other pick wow and you're off from school

Speaker 4 that's true

Speaker 4 you know what hey i hadn't even considered that nick thank you so much

Speaker 4 when i think about my life and i think of the great moments in it there was a time in which i was watching viva la bam in the sixth grade on dvd i was catching up And I was halfway through season two.

Speaker 4 And I went, holy shit, this is great. I'm having a great time.
No school. Halfway through season two.
Then I realized I had a whole other week of winter break for Christmas. Wow.
Upcoming. Wow.

Speaker 4 Blew my mind. Nothing to watch.
Just sitting down watching hoo-hoo-hoo Donito's coming down the chimney with the removal Negro gonna leave the craziest prison under the tree. Ape's gonna be so pissed.

Speaker 4 Another nice thing about December 15th, Eric, a lot of people don't know this. It is the emptiest time of the year at Disneyland, the Disney World, so it's the best time to attend.
Wow.

Speaker 4 Right. I didn't think about it until right now.
Another thing about December 15th, that's my mom's birthday.

Speaker 4 Oh, wow. What a pick.
Wow. Maybe December 15th, totally eclipsing May 11th is the best pick on this board.
Incredible.

Speaker 4 Many are saying it, but we go to Jeff now as he's going to make his second and then third picks. You're damn right I am, and I'm very excited to do it.

Speaker 4 As we all know, May 1st is the regulation day of optimism. May 11th is our anniversary.
Okay. But sandwiched right in the middle of those two days on May 6th, 5-6,

Speaker 4 is the second regulation hookie day of the year.

Speaker 4 About two months after the previous hookie day, right when you're about ready, you're starting to stare at the walls. You're starting to get annoyed with having to get up and go to work.

Speaker 4 You're starting to get frustrated. You need a fucking break.
And then boom, May 6th hits. It's a regulation hookie day.
It's a Wednesday. It is another Wednesday.
Another Wednesday.

Speaker 4 Right in the middle of the week. Right in the middle of that week, you get a break.

Speaker 4 I really like this idea that Jeff just knows that he's going to have to do stuff May 4th, 6th, and whatever his next days are and is creating a reason as to why. Oh, Emily, we actually can't go.

Speaker 4 Oh, no, Emily, I have, oh, oh, no, we actually can't go to that. Today's hookie day for regulation.
I have to celebrate. Oh, no.

Speaker 4 I can celebrate by going and doing something fun with my wife if she's got something going on. No, I meant more for like doing, like, he knows he's going to go something.

Speaker 4 Yeah. Yeah.
Like, he's out. No.
Like in the days he predicts he's going to be out on it. Plan that far in advance.
Can I?

Speaker 4 Can I predict your next pick? Yeah, I think Gavin's the only person who's fucking smart enough to. Hey, go ahead, Gavin.
What do you think it is? Would it be the 8th of July?

Speaker 4 Let's look at my

Speaker 4 board.

Speaker 4 My third pick

Speaker 4 for regulation best days of the year

Speaker 4 coming in at July 8th.

Speaker 4 It is our third regulation hookie day. It comes just four days after 4th of July.
There's nothing better than when you get a big holiday and then

Speaker 4 you enjoy the whole weekend and you have fun and you grill and you go swimming and you hang out with your friends maybe you go in or tubing maybe you shoot out some fireworks maybe if you drink you do that whatever your thing is and then you're like oh that was fucking great and then you go back to work and you're like man i wish i could have another fucking day off like that but it's a long time until the next july 4th but it's not a long time until july 8th when you do get another break Just wanted to point out that I think the original purpose of the hookie days was to fill out these other months with stuff that we could

Speaker 4 we could have. So that way you have days off.

Speaker 4 You're putting this four days after the fourth of july that's just when it comes i don't know i don't know what to tell you i also don't need this hookie day because i'm on summer break

Speaker 4 yeah dude you just gave andrew another reason not to go to school that's fucked up man i'm pretty sure i'd still be at school on july 8th yeah that's tough well we we went no

Speaker 4 well july 8th on the board but i'm next and i'm gonna stay right around jeff here and i'm gonna say july 1st July 1st is right before the 4th of July. You got all your planning.

Speaker 4 You're going to go buy your fireworks. And guys, most importantly, RTX is just right around the corner.
Whoa. And so excited to celebrate.

Speaker 4 We can't wait once again to descend upon Austin, Texas for RTX one more year. And that's why July 1st to me is the third best day of the year.

Speaker 4 You're telling me that I'm going to be able to go get myself a thing of cream soda and see Andy Circus in one place?

Speaker 4 Pecos Pete, baby. What the hell is that?

Speaker 4 It's everything you could ever want. The convention center is currently torn down.

Speaker 4 That is correct. We're going to have to figure something else out, maybe.

Speaker 4 But I feel good about July 1st. Middle of summer, not in the dog days.
You're also on summer break. So no school.
That's true. He got it.
July 1st. You know what?

Speaker 4 I do think the convention center being down might not be the biggest hurdle in having an RTX. All things.
Yeah,

Speaker 4 there might be

Speaker 4 other problems that would have to be solved first. Yeah.
But the convention center certainly doesn't help. That's all I'm saying.
But Gavin, you have your third pick here. What do you got?

Speaker 4 Well, it's a good day.

Speaker 4 It's been sung about.

Speaker 4 It's the day of my anniversary. It's another 21st.
It's the 21st of September. Oh, nice.
Wow. Bada ya.

Speaker 4 What?

Speaker 4 What? He was singing the song. What's he singing the song? That's what it fired.

Speaker 4 Yeah. Oh, okay.
Okay. Do you remember the 21st night of September? Yeah.
Oh,

Speaker 4 when you said they sung about it,

Speaker 4 in my head, I went, that's not that all impressive because there's the Monday, but a butta,

Speaker 4 Tuesday, but a but,

Speaker 4 but every day of the week is covered in that song. That's the cure.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 4 So every day technically has been Monday, but a bubba.

Speaker 4 September!

Speaker 4 September 21st is a good one. They sing about specifically the night of September 21st.

Speaker 4 So you have all day to plan the night of September 21st. That's fun.
And

Speaker 4 you just celebrated your anniversary on September 21st. So congratulations, Gavin.
Thank you. Andrew, what you got? October 5th, 2001.

Speaker 4 But is that like

Speaker 4 any other day? Go ahead, Eric. Make your guess.
Oh, I'm definitely not making my guess. Am I putting the year specifically? Yes.
But it's best days of

Speaker 4 the year. Well, because on October 5th, 2001 of that year,

Speaker 4 a great day was created. A great day was made.
A story told of a day, none other. than a training day.
October 5th, 2001, the release of Training Day, an all-time movie. I love Training Day.

Speaker 4 Infinitely re-watchable. One of the great.
I mean, there are many great, but added to the list of all-time. I've seen Training Day.
No, no, no, no. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 That was, hey, hey, guys, that's on me.

Speaker 4 Did you happen to see Training Day on October 5th, 2001? I'd have no idea. I mean, it's October 5th, 2001.
What was I doing in October?

Speaker 4 No, that's what we want to know. You tell us.
What about you? No, because I would have been like six when this

Speaker 4 was six or seven. So your best day isn't the day that you saw Training Day.
No, it's the day that Training Day existed into the world. Without that day occurring, then Training Day would not be out.

Speaker 4 So your best day, one of your best days of the year is October 5th, 2001. Yeah, it's an all-time great day.
I can see why we're shitting on my days. That makes total sense.

Speaker 4 I'm not shitting on your days at all. I'm not.
No, I'm with you, Jeff. October 5th, 2001.
Is this a legal pick? I don't think. I don't know.
It has to be year specific.

Speaker 4 Well, it's best days of the year. And is October 5th, 2001, not a day of a year? It's the day of a year.
Not the year. I mean, otherwise, I would have picked, like, I thought,

Speaker 4 I would have, yeah, I would have picked like really specific dates. I would have picked my daughter's birthday.
Yeah, right? Like, I would have picked like really specific dates in the past.

Speaker 4 The 2001 is the thing that's throwing me. I mean, you still could pick your daughter's birthday.
It happens every year. I just thought that that was outside of the, yeah, but

Speaker 4 because it's not, because this is

Speaker 4 the guy who says says March 4th May 6th and July 8th is like I can't pick a singular day. I'm creating national holidays that exist every year for goof world.

Speaker 4 That's true. You know, it's a good point.
Gavin, what do you think? Yeah, Gavin, where you stand on this? I don't think it matters. I think I got three no votes on this.

Speaker 4 Well, I we're we're not we're not voting a no.

Speaker 4 We're just we're talking it through. I'm just talking it through.
I didn't say I was a no.

Speaker 4 Let me think about the name of the draft. Okay.

Speaker 4 It's also written right here. Days of the year.
It is a day of a year. It is a day of a year.
I'm going to allow it. I think technically I'm seeing the year there.

Speaker 4 I think I've got to allow that. Yeah.
I don't know.

Speaker 4 All right. You know what? That's fine.
You want to allow it? That's fine. Here's the nets.
I'll live it. If you don't allow this, my worst days draft is going to have a lot of problems.
Okay.

Speaker 4 Hold on.

Speaker 4 I'm going to need like 10 minutes to reshuffle a whole deck if this pick gets blocked in this person.

Speaker 4 Scary.

Speaker 4 Just curious. I don't know.

Speaker 4 I love draft interpretations.

Speaker 4 Okay, well, October 5th, 2001 is on the board, and we go to Nick with the final two picks here that he has for the best days of the year. What is your third round pick?

Speaker 4 Oh, this is a day I get to spend in the kitchen working my magic, putting things together. I get to spend the day with my boy.
I get to spend it watching football. I'm going with Thanksgiving.

Speaker 4 Okay, so your two of your picks are interrupted.

Speaker 4 You mean the day before?

Speaker 4 Also, the thing that you were saying about the day after Thanksgiving is that all this stress is done. You don't have to worry anymore.
And then your next pick is the day that is stressing you out.

Speaker 4 No, No, no. See, I think the stress could be applied to seeing family and spending time with family.
But in this instance, I really enjoy that. I think it's really fun.

Speaker 4 Now, you're not going to believe this. Nick, but my last pick...
Wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 4 Wait, before

Speaker 4 you've done Thanksgiving, I need a clarification. We talk about Canadian or U.S.
Thanksgiving. U.S.
That is not a serious question.

Speaker 4 No.

Speaker 4 Do you realize that one of these

Speaker 4 picks just invalidate each other? So which one is this? No, no, no. See, I'm talking about from other people's perspectives.
Mine is totally fine. I'm saying the stress of whatever is done.

Speaker 4 I like the stress of being in the kitchen and doing all that stuff. Now,

Speaker 4 I don't want to hurry up.

Speaker 4 I don't want to hurry you up.

Speaker 4 However, however,

Speaker 4 I really want to know, since we'll stay on you for this, what is your last pick? It's the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

Speaker 4 It's a little less good because you got so easy leftovers to run.

Speaker 4 Is it two days after Thanksgiving? Yeah, two days after Thanksgiving. Your draft board is May 11th,

Speaker 4 the day after Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving and two days after Thanksgiving.
It was my favorite break out of school back as a kid. But here's the thing.

Speaker 4 But here's the thing.

Speaker 4 You're down on a bit. You still have leftovers.
I don't know if anyone's actually listening at this point.

Speaker 4 I have leftovers. I'm enjoying them.
There's still still a Saturday of rivalry college football, and there's still a football NFL Sunday to come.

Speaker 4 So if you had one more pick, you'd pick three days after Thanksgiving. Well, I ran out of picks.

Speaker 4 Nick really gives a show about one week a year. Nick, do you want to change your first pick to six months and two weeks before Thanksgiving? No.

Speaker 4 It's almost summer. I hate the summer.
It's so crazy. Based on what you're saying, I think two days after Thanksgiving should be above Thanksgiving.
No, disagree.

Speaker 4 Because there's more food and there's more opportunity for football.

Speaker 4 I think it's absolutely insane that you've drafted the day after Thanksgiving before Thanksgiving. But it's a better day because

Speaker 4 I get to wake up late. I get to enjoy myself.
I get to sit and eat the leftovers I've already made. But I do love to cook, but not enough to overthrow the day after Thanksgiving.

Speaker 4 Nick, I think you're sick.

Speaker 4 This is truly like,

Speaker 4 this might be your best draft, Nick.

Speaker 4 The week after Thanksgiving must be such a bummer for Nick because all of his favorite names are still.

Speaker 4 Oh, it's the worst.

Speaker 4 Oh, my God. It's the worst.

Speaker 4 Back to school?

Speaker 4 Holy shit.

Speaker 4 Oh, man. Well, Nick rounded out his board.
We go to Andrew with his final pickup

Speaker 4 days of the year.

Speaker 4 Oh, shit, dude.

Speaker 4 Okay. What do I want to pick here? There's a lot of days in the year.
Just for record, you already picked training day. Yeah, off the board.
You already did training day. October 6th, 2001.

Speaker 4 You get to training day again.

Speaker 4 Do like October 12th or whatever and be like number one in the box off the school et cetera, baby. We're still soaring.

Speaker 4 No, man. Oh, I am going to go with a day.

Speaker 4 There's a board in front of me, and I'm looking at a bunch of days on it.

Speaker 4 And so I'm going to go with December.

Speaker 4 No, it's not a calendar. It's a draft board.

Speaker 4 Yeah, you fucked up.

Speaker 4 Fucking idiot.

Speaker 4 I am going to take, based on other person's logic, I like where they're at. I like where their head's at.

Speaker 4 I'm taking December 16th for all the reasons that Eric took December 15th, but it's a day closer to Christmas, so even more exciting.

Speaker 4 Wow. That's a great pick.
See, that's my dad's birthday, so I'm not even thinking about Christmas at that point. I'm just thinking about my dad hanging out with Big Ron.

Speaker 4 That is.

Speaker 4 You picked my mom's birthday, and I drafted you Dawson.

Speaker 4 We got parents' birthdays on the board. Incredible.

Speaker 4 What if we hooked your parents up and they fell in love?

Speaker 4 Well, my dad is currently married to my mom. Well, he'd have to leave her, Eric.
I'm sorry. How do you feel about that?

Speaker 4 And he did predict divorce this year.

Speaker 4 For us.

Speaker 4 For us, you fool. Stepbrothers in real life.

Speaker 4 I don't. I couldn't.
I don't think I could.

Speaker 4 I don't know about that. Stepbrothers might be.
Who's putting who's nuts on whose drum set?

Speaker 4 How do you think Thanksgiving would be in that house? Oh, my God. Yeah,

Speaker 4 Nick's drumming. It would be crazy where me and my stepbrother Andrew are hanging out.

Speaker 4 Oh, you get two of them. He's Canadian, American.
You get two Thanksgivings. I'll cook them both.
Do you get citizenship through stepbrother? Yeah.

Speaker 4 My favorite part of this draft to this point is now when American Thanksgiving rolls around, I'm just going to know how fucking happy Nick is for like the next Thanksgiving day. He's thrilled.

Speaker 4 He's thrilled. He's going to be so excited.
I think we should post this grid somewhere of all the pics and just try and see if people can guess what we're drafting.

Speaker 4 Oh, man. Oh, God.
Well, Gavin, you have your final pick. What you got? Well,

Speaker 4 I'm looking on the good side of a dog shit situation for this pick.

Speaker 4 I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan of Baylight Savings, right? I think it's a stupid idea.
It's stupid and pointless. I thought about this.
However, as...

Speaker 4 a British person living in America, I really like the 9th of March this year

Speaker 4 because the clocks go back.

Speaker 4 No, they go forwards.

Speaker 4 Oh my, that's the worst one. I'm taking the pattern.

Speaker 4 The clocks go forwards in America. Oh, my Discord crashed again.
Hold on.

Speaker 4 His Discord keeps crashing. The clocks go forwards in America, but they haven't gone back yet in England and they won't do for another two weeks, which means...

Speaker 4 I'm only five hours offset from my family instead of six. That's a great one.
That's great. That That means that I can text them an hour longer each day and they're still awake.

Speaker 4 Sorry, what was the specific date for that? The specific day?

Speaker 4 2025. It was the 9th of March.
So are you drafting the 9th of March? I'm just making sure. Sure.

Speaker 4 I'm doing this. This is no school at this time.

Speaker 4 Wait, wait. What? What's it next year?

Speaker 4 Do you just want to...

Speaker 4 How about just the day after daylight savings? The day after daylight savings

Speaker 4 is my pick.

Speaker 4 This is what I was asking: just like, what do you want me to write down?

Speaker 4 What day was it this year? I don't know, man. You drafted it.

Speaker 4 The day after daylight savings is on the board. And, guys, I have my fourth and final pick.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery.

Speaker 4 Today is a gift from God, which is why they call it the present. My final pick today.

Speaker 4 Whoa!

Speaker 4 The best day of the year.

Speaker 4 I thought you were going to go December 17th, and I was going to be really upset about it. I thought you were going to one-up my one-up.
I kind of feel like that was your tea at home.

Speaker 4 Today is a gift. Eric took

Speaker 4 the check, and he's having his tea at the end of the day. You want to stick the kettle on Earth?

Speaker 4 God himself.

Speaker 4 That's your most poetic pick ever, I think. Thank you.
And that is. That means

Speaker 4 your best day of the year is all 365 of them. That's right.

Speaker 4 Disqualified.

Speaker 4 Locked in. Well, there you have it.
Eric's best day locked in.

Speaker 4 Today,

Speaker 4 beautiful.

Speaker 4 A beautiful day. Because the day we're drafting this, best day of the year.
Hey, the day you're listening to this, it's best day of the year. Are you all right?

Speaker 4 Who?

Speaker 4 Never mind. Okay.

Speaker 4 He's not bad at this.

Speaker 4 He dropped it. it.

Speaker 4 Jeff, that's me. The mystery is here.
What will be the final pick? Hold on a second. Let me check my notes.
Okay.

Speaker 4 Where did I have these? Those are my worst days. Oh, here we go.
Okay, so my last best day.

Speaker 4 It looks like it's a hookie day again.

Speaker 4 I've threaded the needle. The previous hookie day was, what was that, July 8th? That's right.
We're penciling in the final regulation hookie day of the year.

Speaker 4 You don't want it too late in the year because it gets real holiday heavy. Most of our U.S.
holidays are in the back half of the year. So it's pointless to have it in October, November, December.

Speaker 4 We've already got plenty of breaks there. So we're going to have it in September.
Careful.

Speaker 4 We're going to have it on, let's see.

Speaker 4 Oh, I have it written down. 9.10.
September 10th is the final hookie day of the year. Regulation hookie day of the year.
There you go. March 4th, May 6th, July 8th, September 10th.

Speaker 4 You do not have to work in Goof World. That's a satisfying column of picks to look at.
This is what I think about every time.

Speaker 4 September 10th, 2001. Look at this.
A man celebrating, celebrating the original hookie day. There you go.
Congratulations on your final pick, Jeff.

Speaker 4 He was less than a month away from watching Training Day in the theaters.

Speaker 4 That's true.

Speaker 4 That's what that smile on his face said. He was really feeling.
He's probably watching a trailer on TV. That's right.
Well, the best days of the year draft is locked in.

Speaker 4 And here's the board. Jeff with March 4th, May 6th, July 8th, September 10th.

Speaker 4 I have picked November 1st, December 15th, July 1st, and today.

Speaker 4 Gavin has picked the most optimistic day, May 1st,

Speaker 4 December 21st, September 21st, and the day after daylight savings. Andrew has picked payday, first day of summer break, October 5th, 2001, and December 16th.

Speaker 4 And finally, Nick has picked May 11th, the day after Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving, two days after Thanksgiving.
That's a real Andrew's drawer situation there with Nick's picks. Yeah, they are.

Speaker 4 It's weird, right? It's weird. I think, Nick, this is your

Speaker 4 strangest draft. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Okay, that's it.

Speaker 4 But I can reach the lowest drawer with my foot on two days after Thanksgiving. Yeah, it's a good one.
I agree with Jeff completely. I think this is a drawer situation.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 This kind of makes me want to release the regulation calendar with all of these months with all these on there.

Speaker 4 Big circle. We used to make calendars for the first like seven years of Rooster Teeth.
They were a big, big deal for us every year, and they are such a fucking nightmare to make.

Speaker 4 You have to like get them made in like May.

Speaker 4 The cutoff is June. It's so insane.
You are right, Gavin. A goof world calendar seems like something that should exist, but it's way too late to make it for 2026.

Speaker 4 Well, we'd also have to make it for 2001 if we want Oliv Andre's pay.

Speaker 4 At the end of the 2027 goof world calendar, it'll have days of honorable mention.

Speaker 4 Oh, man.

Speaker 4 Oh, shit. Well, guys, there it is.
The best days of the year locked in. Let us know who you think won this draft.

Speaker 4 Who had the best calendar for you or for, I guess, all of us uh leave a comment let a friend know check out the patreon check out the gameplay channels guys how are you feeling about this list invincible i feel great about some of them yeah it looks like is feeling invincible about this list you're feeling invincible you know what i'm feeling thankful this

Speaker 4 what

Speaker 4 this is one of those drafts where i'm really excited to see the audience picks yeah oh yeah yeah

Speaker 4 if i was an audience member i know who i would vote for i'm just off the rip it's yeah make sure to head to the patreon for the poll as well where you can vote if uh enough time hasn't passed yet for who has won this draft.

Speaker 4 Yeah, but if it already passed, then this if if

Speaker 4 this is already passed, then this is useful, uh, useless information from Gavin. So, or you could see who won, yeah.

Speaker 4 You could click the collections tab and then go to draft polls and check it out, see who won, or just live your day. So, it was helpful.
Just live your day. Today's a gift.
It's the best day.

Speaker 4 All right, Eric's fourth pick. Thanks.

Speaker 4 Thanks for watching. We'll see you next time.
Bye. Bye.
Bye.
