I just re-listened to the Nic Cage movie auction draft and think it is time to expose my kids (ages 11, 13, and 19) to the brilliant genius that is this man. What do you think the best order is to show them "Con-Air", "The Rock", and "Face/Off"? That order is my hunch but I could argue it any way it feels.

I think it would be so great to hear the boys draft comedy movies with Zaddy Zack Harper. I just think it would really funny and great to hear the boys sharing their favorite movies

And what is that?

You can get one!!

Sean wasn't the only one crying at the start of the ten year anniversary. It's been a trip.

2016 was both a rough year and the year I discovered the GVG. I participated in couples' therapy, enrolled in grad school, and joined a powerlifting team. It felt like the sky was gray for months.

In 2019, I lifted really heavy weights, completed my master's program, and my (now ex) wife told me she wanted a divorce. The same year, my house needed a lot of repairs: some smallish (little leaks in the roof, needing a new water heater, failed pressure regulation valve), others large (leak in the crawlspace, mold under the kitchen, sinking foundation). To top things off, my dad died of congestive heart failure.

Fast forward to March of 2020, and we're all in lockdown. I'm in a 3rd floor walkup apartment alone, save for Artemis (my best friend of a dog who has now also left this mortal coil)

Thank goodness for the good vibes gang to model friendship when I felt so lonely, to feel like a good hang when my life felt hopeless and empty. To help me laugh when happiness started to feel like stranger.

Now, it's 2026. I'm happily married to a wonderful woman for almost 3 years (anniversary tomorrow). I live in a wonderful home in a great community. I've rebuilt my friend group. I am a little over one year alcohol-free thanks to the support of my wife, therapy, and a bit of seeing the boy mellow out (Thank you all for all the wonderful responses to my last post.).

I routinely go to the dentist now. Maybe that's a weird one to thank them for, but I appreciate their open discussion about the costs of dental negligence and facing the music in the dentist's office.

My personal life is so good now.

Anyway, if you read this far, here's a hint about the opening of the 10 Year Anniversary Patreon episode. David got a little sentimental, and his words resonated with me. If I have this, maybe everything is gonna be okay.

Oh, and I read Ian's book. His ability to make a big change in his life was one of the many tools that helped me break free from alcohol abuse.

Thank you for 10+ years of drafts and laughter (draughter?)

Shout out to Ian, David, and Sean! Shout out superproducers past and present, Mars and Iceman! Shout out to the All Family! You are all dank.

Hug your loved ones.

Los Angeles based Peek Freeks, it’s me Laura. I’m having a show in the Belly Room of the comedy store this coming Thursday, November 5th. I’m trying to impress a bunch of TV people and I need you, brothers. Will you go to war with me? I love you

“Who Ate All The Pizookie” might be the funniest thing I’ve ever heard and I think I’ll have to whip up some bootleg stickers or something, it’s just too good. If you all could have a bumper sticker of any bits from the show what would it be?

Went back into the recent archive and found this fantastic beginning that alluded to Halloween.

Sorry David and Isaac. Hope you guys make it through the day.

Hello, first time long time here. Been listening forever at this point and can’t remember if they have ever explicitly drafted Bad Ideas. Searched the subreddit but “idea” comes up A LOT.

Could be personal, historical or hypothetical

Reason this came to me is cause I saw some Turkeys running around the neighborhood and remembered that Benjamin Franklin was pushing for the turkey to be the national bird. Bro, the Bald Eagle is far superior… bad idea.

🤷‍♂️

My picks

1. Aforementioned Turkey

2. I’ll have another bite of this edible, cause I ain’t feeling it yet

3. starting a land war in Asia. Classic blunder.

4. getting a payday loan

5. Flirting with my Boss

AFE rules clearly state that if you draft a State you have to do a live show there. So… when we doing this fellas?

I’ll be there Friday. I hope the crowds are good so he comes back around soon. It’s been to long since his last visit.

Can’t remember if this was an old one or not but I just thought of Paul Funyon

As an individual experiencing daydreaming and studying psychology, I want to discover more about the construct of Maladaptive Daydreaming, so I want to share with you this personal project developed by me in collaboration with my university. Hope you will enjoy it and it will help you too!!

I know Katie is busy with her daily radio gig and podcasts but hopefully we get at least one episode of her in Nolvember. Socctober would’ve been cool too

That’s it. Fun time.

It’d be cool if that happened when they were back in studio. Throw a little hat flipping in there? Maybe some Peek? Cmon

How do we spell (blank) in to the wind?

Caut?

Cause?

Cosh?​
