 Yeah, now I don't know if I've ever told you guys this, but me and Joe Thomas, legendary offensive tackle for the Browns, one of the greatest of all time, are actually super tight. Now, being the incredibly humble, incredibly modest, most modest man of all time, I wasn't gonna, you know, leverage my friendship with Joe Thomas for my Madden channel. Like, me and him go way back, so it's not like I was gonna sit there and like have him in a million videos and ask him to bring me to games, etc, etc, etc. Even though he totally would have done it, because we're super close. I call him JT, lots of people call him Joe Thomas, but me and him are tight, so it's cool. He calls me Papa Meeks though, that's, you know, the f***. We're also like about the same height, so it's pretty cool walking around together. Well, admittedly, I hadn't talked to him in a while, and Madden was getting kind of boring, so even though I'm as modest as I am, I did finally say fuck it. You know what, I'm gonna shoot him a text, I think it would be really cool to have him as a little cameo on a video, so I was like, you know, I shot him a text. I was like, Joe, do you think you could build my Madden team for me for a video? I think my fans would love it. Like, the Browns are gonna be sweet this year, so it's cool that you played for the Browns, and you know, I figured you'd just do it for me, because we're really good friends. He was like, dude, of course, I'd love to be in a video that'd be super fun, just tell me what you need. So I was like, hey man, this is gonna go on YouTube for one, so if you're cool with that, and I just need like a wide receiver half back. Obviously, no tackle for him, linebackers, safety, stuff like that. You build my team, and then I'll play with it. And he just sent me the video of him, you know, building the team presumably. So let's check it out. And I'm really excited. Yo, Matt, I know you got a sweet YouTube channel called MMG. Told you. I'm not a Madden guy. I'm going to put together a quick Madden team for you. So here we go. Odell Beckham receiver. That's an obvious. Odell Beckham receiver clutch. A little bit of a different one, but I think Shady McCoy at half back would probably be pretty good on Madden. Quarterback. All right. That would be interesting. It's a toss up between Baker and Tom Brady. I think you're going to get more return from Brady because of his experience long term, but obviously I'm a big Baker guy. So I think you do great. Yes. Okay. All right. I think he's giving me a choice between Baker and Tom Brady. So I'm 2000% getting Baker. Oh, thank you, Joe Thomas. Oh my God, JT, I mean, because that's what I call him. Oh, thank God. Okay, clutch. Let's keep going. A tight end. Jason Calci, Cleveland's own linebackers. Now that's a good question. Vaughn Miller, I would say as an outside linebacker, your inside linebackers. Joe Schober. Why not? Schober offensive tackle. I didn't even know they were in Madden, but I think offensive tackle Tyron Smith is a beast. Tyron Smith. And I also think Taylor Luan is a stud as a tackle. So hope that helps, Matt. Go Browns. What a homie. Bro, JT, if you're watching this, I appreciate you, dude. That's pretty good squad that you built. Okay, fucking fine. I'm not friends with Joe Thomas. I actually got that video from Cameo. If you guys know what Cameo is, it's like this app where you can pay famous people to like make videos for you. It cost me a hundred. Dude, Joe, JT, my boy. Although that was a sick ass video and I do respect the man. $110. What a fucker. $110. Honestly, that was a weird thing because that was a sick ass video. Either way. Oh, I actually made my own Cameo. So if you guys type in MMG or Matthew Mahur or something and you pay me $10, not $110 to $10. I'll say something for you. I thought it was really funny, but let's build this team that he made for us and let's go play with it. Now, when I told him to pick an old tackle, I figured he'd pick himself. Like, but I guess he assumes he's not mad at anymore because he's not playing anymore, but I'm pretty sure he has a legend card. He said Tyron Smith and Taylor Luan, which are two excellent calls. I'm pumped. All right. Here's Tyron Smith, who is very expensive. Oh, hello. I'm so surprised that he put Shady McCoy, a half back go. Like out of all the halfbacks in the league, he chose Shady McCoy. It's kind of cool. And Taylor Luan's got a 95 overall card. So that's clutch. Damn, bro. LaShawn McCoy has no good cards. He's got one card and it's an 83 overall. But I mean, we got to take what we can get. So it's okay, Joe Thomas. You just suck. All right. Thank God he gave us Odell because I already have a 99 Odell on my team. So that's really clutch. He wanted Von Miller at halfback. Oh, Von Miller has a sick card. Okay, clutch. Now, here's the thing. The other positions I'm just going to kind of fill in with random stuff on my bench because he didn't give me a whole team. I wasn't going to... See, here's the thing. On cameo, you can kind of tell them what to do, right? Well, I wasn't going to sit there and have him list off 22 players. I honestly just felt like that was rude. Then again, I gave him $110, so fuck him. I'm just kidding. I'm still going to be nice. All right, so Joe Schoepert's... Yo, Joe Schoepert's team in the year card isn't even on the auction house, which is really depressing. So I have to get his $84. Oh, and Jason Kelsey. Jason Kelsey. Dude, he totally fucked up. I think he meant to say Travis Kelsey. He said Jason Kelsey at my tight end, right? Tight end, Jason Kelsey Cleveland's own. He totally said Jason Kelsey at tight end. I think he meant Travis Kelsey. All right, well, I'm just going to... I'm going to go out on women and assume he meant Travis Kelsey, so I'm going to add him to the team. But that's actually super funny. All right, so the Joe Thomas team is assembled. He really... There's only a few positions he gave me, honestly, so I filled in kind of random stuff everywhere else. Taylor Lawan in town on Smith, so I got really good tackles. Travis Kelsey, I assume is what he wanted. Baker Mayfield and LaShawn McCoy here. Odell Beckham, Jr.'s, our only good wide receiver. Got Joe Schoepert, and his team in the year is not on the auction house. I couldn't get it. And then Von Miller. And then I gave myself the Unsanders just honestly, because you will get cooked so hard if you don't have a super good corner. So I kind of threw that in there on my own accord. And Miles Garrett, because browns. So I thought that'd be cool. Right. And I need to make sure I put Shady McCoy at my power halfback because this is what I always mess up and then he's never in. All right, Joe Thomas, let's see if you have crafted me a W or not because I gave you $110. So you better have crafted me a W. I'm in the playoffs in Wheel of Mud, so we're going to play this weird game mode. All two-point conversions are now quadrupled in value. You'll earn eight points for running a successful play after a touchdown. With only three minutes per quarter, you may as well take a chance and go for gold. Fuck it. Let's do it. This kind of looks fun, actually. Opponents team. I am not surprised at all. All right, let's get this shmoney. Ty Law is on the kick return. I don't know why I opted for this, but whatever. Okay. That's why because he gets out to the 35. Let's go. All right. First play of the Joe Thomas team. Can I go Baker Mayfield up the middle for four yards? I'll take it. This ain't looking good. I'm not going to lie. Oh, right up the middle. Oh, he's so open. Catch it. You better catch the ball. Let's go. That is why we choose Travis Kelsey and not Jason Kelsey. Let's do the damn thing, boys. Oh, right in the middle. Travis Kelsey's open again. I can't remember. I was going to score. He got rocked, bro. Maybe I should have taken Jason Kelsey. What am I doing? Wow. That's depressing. All right. Well, Joe Schobert, 84 overall. Gonna have to lock up on defense here. Tight end attack. I know this play like the back of my hand. Go get him. Go get him. Get that ball. So much pressure and then I'm on von Miller. This should work perfectly. All right. All right. I see the routes. I see the routes. Let's go. Throw it. My ball. No, he did not. I was right there to pick that off and he got that. Bro, I'm so mad right now. You've got to be kidding me. That was so bogus. Throw it again, bro. Oh my God. I would have picked that off too. Let's get it. Third and 17. I'm going to go straight into a pass pro. He's expecting me to do all these blitzes. So I'm actually going to go pass pro now. I'm going on Schobert. Yeah. We got everything clamped. Yup. Scramble. Totally. Let's go. Fourth and 17. That would be a 58 yard fugal if he wants it. All right. We can clamp this. Clamp this right here. Very similar routes. He's throwing right on the middle and perfect picks it off. But that's like a punt unless he can get up. Go. Go, go, go. Go, go, go. Yes. Oh my God, you're kidding. Who just rocked me? Was that the quarterback? I want to die, dude. He needs to run the ball. He's going to run the ball actually. Oh wow. He's really not. Okay. A little, a little block shed and a little sack. Let's go. This man is cheeks. I'm so mad. I can't believe he just threw an interception. Just to rock Vathe's perfect. All right. Uh, I'm not sure where he's throwing. Damn. Was I really not on that again? The big thing here honestly is just no touchdowns. Okay. We got a little pitch here. I'm outside on it. I knew he was going to spin and a good tackle by show. Is he going to run with Michael Vic? Okay. He's going to throw the underneath. He's going to run the wrong way for a second. Okay. Fourth and like nine. He should definitely take his field goal here if he's smart. I don't think he's going to because he knows this game mode and how many points you get. Yeah. I didn't think so. I'm putting Calil Mac on the QB spy. Oh wow. Shit. He pitched it. That's actually really bad. No. I fucking knew he was going to spin too. There's nothing you can do about it. Ugh. All right. Now he's definitely going to be going for the two point conversion on the two point. He's going to hit it off to his full back. And are you serious? Seriously? It looks like we're down by a lot, but we're totally not. Going to go Baker right up the middle for this. Oh my God. I definitely don't. And he gets the fucking ball back. Oh my God. I think he runs the pitch again since he knows that's the only way he can get yards. The answer is yes. Dude. Holy shit. Are you kidding me? Pitch inbound. He's going to try and throw this wheel route and I have it fully clamped over Quinn. Let's go. Finally got the ball back admit. I have played Madden two weeks. Okay. That's that's the excuse I'm running with. All right. Right up the middle Baker Mayfield and this time I will properly slide. I might just have to take a field goal just kind of depressing to think about. But if it's all I can get it's all I can get. Bro. I might not even be able to get a field. Get your line. Get the line. Get the line. Let's go brah. Okay. This is good. No get down. Oh that animation dude. If you had gotten down I could have called the time out and kick the field goal. Damn that sucks. I know exactly what he's doing. We're in pass. We're backed off. We're playing over the top. I am completely covering both these rocks. Thank you very much. Get up Schober. Okay. I got it to the 11 so we can get here. So he was open. All right. Baker up the middle. Thank you for about seven yards. Let's send Odell under Jackson under. Who's he going on? A or X? Okay. He's on A. Can I playmaker you and will you be open? Honestly. No, but Baker gets rocked and he picks it up again. That is literally my fourth turnover off of a fumble. Joe Thomas. I'm letting you down so hard right now. I'm letting you down unbelievably hard. And I feel bad about it. I do. Oh, spin move. Wow. Okay. All right, man. All right. That's super cool. Nice whip, dude. You're sweet at this game. I'm on some desperation shit, but I seriously need Odell Beckham Jr. to just completely burn someone and go get a touchdown. I'm so embarrassed that I'm resorting to this. Oh, and he picks me off. Anyway, who is that? Oh, it's a 99 overall. Hey, word action. That's pretty good card. This man is so cheeks. That is why this is pissing me off. Oh my God. And he's going to pick it up and carry it 10 yards. Oh my God. I want to die. I would love death right now. All right. I know exactly what he's doing. He's doing fullback dive. Oh, he's going to do QB sneak bro. This guy is so cheeks. This is the pitch to the left side or its fullback dive pitch to the left side. Damn balanced fucking balance, bro. I'm so upset. Now I will say this guy's been getting super lucky, but also I played pretty poorly this game. The next time I do one of these team builders, I'm putting in some better players. Let's just say that I'm done, dude. I'm literally done. Fuck that. That was so painful. Well, you know what? It was still fun to see Joe Thomas to get the team built, but wow, I just got my shit worked, bro. That's an L. Well, you know what? You win some, you lose some. And apparently we lose hard when we lose. So I will see the next video. I'll totally do this again. It's going to be so cool. It's going to be a fun series, but I'm going to go put in some better players and rework the team and then I'll try that again. Thanks for watching as always, you guys. That was super fun. I will see you in the next video. Peace out.
