 Are you surprised to see us so soon? Are you surprised to see Double or Nothing and then Wheel of Mud? You should be because it's never happened before, number one. Number two, I was gonna take a break from Wheel of Mud. My initial game plan was Wheel of Mud, then Double or Nothing, then Wheel of Mud, kinda switch them on and off. And then I realized something. I was starving, you guys. Like, literally starving. That Super Bowl took me like 10 days to post. And I actually felt horrible. I saw all your comments. I know the boys want Wheel of Mud and I'm insanely excited about Double or Nothing too. So fuck it, we're doing both. But let's do it, babe. 70 overall team, a clean slate, a new roster, a new Super Bowl ring to acquire more cheeks to clap. And I think most importantly, we have a lot to talk about. The number one thing that we need to talk about is our prestige player. Now I'm gonna pull up a picture of offense and defense from the last season. Ty, if you just wanna take a screenshot or something, you can easily grab it. Who do you think I prestigeed? I would be shocked if any of you guess it. I'm taking an absolute bizarre Hail Mary curve ball on our prestige player for the first season of Wheel of Mud. And I won't lie. This was the most difficult prestige decision I've ever had to make. There were so many options and none of them were incredible off the bat. Sometimes it's obvious there's a 95 overall card in the game and I've got the 80 overall. Let's prestige. But I wasn't there. It felt like every player that I could prestige was just speculative. Like maybe they'd be a good prestige if they keep playing well. I'll tell you who I was deciding between. There was Foyasada Lubicon, Matthew Judon, Chase Young, Robert Quinn, Jerome Bedis, Tony Gonzalez, Frank Ragnar, Jason Kelsie and Trey Smith. I weighed all my options. And finally I landed on Jason Kelsie as my prestige player. I know, it seems a little underwhelming. You guys have seen a lot of Wheel of Mud and a lot of God squad players. Let me tell you why I chose Jason Kelsie. Tony Gonzalez I didn't like. You guys saw so much of him. I want to get a different tight end. Jerome Bedis I didn't like because I have a half back that I want to get on this squad and it's not Jerome Bedis. Trey Smith was an 89 overall right guard. That could have been a very good option but I feel like the ability for Trey Smith to get another really good card is low. But Jason Kelsie, I went and did actual research. I went back to every past Madden that Jason Kelsie's been in. The lowest card Jason Kelsie has ever ended a Madden Ultimate team with is a 98. 98 is the lowest. And 22 he had a 98. Madden 21 he had a 99. Madden 20 he had a 99. If a player's gonna get a nasty card, I think it's gonna be Jason Kelsie. Not to mention I have never prestige offensive line. And I think it's actually a genius strategy that I've never employed since I'm an idiot. Having a locked in solid offensive line player is huge. I ran the ball a lot last season. And Jason Kelsie right now, yes, he's underwhelming. But this is my Hail Mary. I think he could get a nasty card. As for defense, Judon and Foyus out of Lua Khan. I don't know, I think out of those, Judon probably could get a really good card. I could have gone Von Miller too but I don't see him getting another card. And then Chase Young's injured right now. Now the second thing we need to talk about. You're looking at my defense right now. You're saying, Papa Meeks, you prestige Micahide. Where is Micahide? I'm doing another curve ball crazy thing. I wanted to have a Bill's player on the roster as a prestige. And that's why I chose Micahide. And as you guys saw, Micahide had a season ending injury. So all of a sudden the realisticness of Micahide getting an upgrade in Wheel of Mut is slim to none. He's already got a champion card and he won't play the rest of the season. So I went deep in the Wheel of Mut handbook, the Wheel of Mut rule book and I looked for any note about an injured reserve slot. Can I take a prestige who instantly got injured? Move into IR and get somebody new. And I looked in the back of the notebook and the notebook said, Matt, you're an idiot. You made these fucking rules. You can do literally whatever you want. Very good point. Let me make sure I read that correctly. Matt, you make the rules. You can literally do whatever you want. Okay, it's settled. It's settled. Micahide is no longer our prestige safety. I've never done this in the history of Wheel of Mut. I'm doing it right now. So much has changed this season but I'm gonna try and iron it out and make it as amazing as I can. That's the only thing I care about. We initially had Pat Fryermuth as our power-up player, right? And then they dropped power-up legends. So I thought I'd go with a stealer. I thought our prestige player should be similar. Do you know who I'm thinking of right now? Our brand new prestige player is Troy Palomalu. I thought this was an awesome prestige. It's still a safety. He's one overall higher than Micahide. So really not that much better. And I didn't think it was too overpowered either. Since Palomalu just got this card, it's likely he won't get a card for at least another two, three promos. So he won't get an upgrade for a while but I would say he has guaranteed another card. Insanely excited about this. I'm gonna give him Zonehawk. I think he gets three AP Acrobat. Yeah, he does. And then what do we wanna run on him here? He doesn't get Crusher, which is one of my favorite abilities. So that's unfortunate. Deep Outzone KO is probably good. Right now we can afford Deep Outzone KO because there's no players on this team. But in the long run, I'll probably end up taking that off of him. I'm gonna go with the ultimate kickoff alternate art too. This is the Madden 10 cover, Troy Palomalu. I think that goes a little bit harder. That's pretty dope, dude. I really like that. So Palomalu is the new prestige player. I really apologize if you guys loved Micahide but I had to make this decision. So now there's one final question you have. Micah Parsons looking like he's gonna be an amazing prestige. He's playing so well. He is due for a new carve very soon. Palomalu, Jason Kelsey, and Justin Jefferson. Those are prestige players. There's only one thing we're missing and that's our power-up legend. And I'll tell you right now, my power-up legend is on offense. Take your guesses. Our power-up legend. Another thing we've never done in Wheel of Mutt is quarterback Michael Vick. Woo! Dude, you know what's funny? I've never used Michael Vick cards in Madden because it's so cliche to use them but now it's been like three Maddens since I've used a Michael Vick. Like I have not used Michael Vick since like Madden 19. So all of a sudden, it's actually pretty exciting to use this. For those of you new to Wheel of Mutt or just need a refresher, each season I get a power-up player and by completing a challenge per game I can upgrade that player. Last season, our power-up player was Steve Atwater. Interception, force fumbles, sacks and touchdowns got him. An option to get an upgrade took us about five games but we maxed them out. For quarterback, we have two options to get him an upgrade here. It is 300 total yards or three touchdowns. If he does both, he gets two upgrades. For example, Michael Vick could throw 250 yards and rush for 50, that's one upgrade. If in that same game, he also threw three touchdowns, that's two upgrades. If he does none of them, he stays right at the overall he's at. The first upgrade for Michael Vick just gives us access to his abilities so it doesn't do anything for us. Second upgrade takes him to an 82, third's an 84, fourth is 86, fifth is 88 and the sixth and final upgrade is this God tier 90 overall scrambling Michael Vick with 90 speed. It's gonna be a huge difference from Zach Wilson. Zach Wilson sat in the pocket and honestly threw them all pretty well. He did really good for a gold player. I've never done a power-up quarterback before so I'm insanely excited about it and I think we're gonna have a blast. Now, the real problem arises which is my team sucks. Well, first things first for season two. In the Super Bowl of season one, I got a rage quit. That rage quit also meant I did not have a chance to complete my challenge wheel. So normally I do spin the rage quit wheel but I'm not gonna do that here. I think it's a little too strong at the start of the episode. So instead I'm gonna give myself one of any pack from the store and finally there is an awesome pack in the store for training. It's the Gridiron Guardians Elite Pack. You can only get one of them. So this thing is juiced and hopefully it's gonna kick start a team a little bit here. So this pack guarantees two 83 plus overall Gridiron Guardian players. So insanely excited about this. Happy we got our rage quit in the Super Bowl. Let's see if any of these players can help the squad. Sam Williams, slightly better right end to start us out. I like that a lot. Neville Hewitt, Carlton Davis, that is a playable corner. He can do something out there. Maybe that pack animation is nasty. Bogan Wilson right outside linebacker. Okay Matt. Nope, you're not getting a touch at all. Can we get a big one? Can we get a big one baby? Come on. EJ Speed, 83 speed, 64 middle linebacker. Hey, well that's what we get for getting the rage quit in the Super Bowl. It's actually pretty nice start. Carlton Davis can be a starting corner. That's huge. And Sam Williams will get reps too. Those will pretty much be the only guys that get reps out of what we just got. So what we just added is the only players that are actually locked into this team. I wheel spins are only locked in if I win. All right boys, that leads me into my first wheel spin for Wheel of Mod season two, season opener. Yeah, I said that right. Let's get it baby, I'm excited. All right. I literally fumbled the bag on this challenge last season so hard. Completions before I go incomplete. We've got Michael Vick throwing and pretty much no one to throw two. So this will be an interesting one, but it's multiplied by 10K. All right, first wheel spin is speculative. We gotta win the game or complete our challenge wheel and salvage it, but let's see what the second one does. It did it last season too. I want that AK. I want that AK jackpot so bad. So there's gonna be a lot of good options. Like Orlando Brown, I actually really like that. Getting a left tackle. I have no tight end either so Evan Engeram isn't the worst option. In fact, I have almost none of these positions. The Forrest Buckner would be pretty nice. Andres P. There's strong safety Cordero Patterson. Ooh, there's a Patrick Peterson. I feel like Patrick Peterson is probably the move. This is our best odds to win. Ooh, damn, you're pretty good. There is a Justin Fields too, but I'm going Patrick Peterson. All right, Patrick Peterson, I like that call right there. All right boys, our third and final wheel spin. I'll pretty much take whatever I can get. I can't really be picky here so it is what it is. Oh, re-rolls. I do love re-rolls. Hey, on my Wheel of Mutt account, I've never pulled anything crazy on re-rolls. But if you guys watched the video where I took a 69 overall team and built an 85 overall team in a week without spending any money, oh, holy shit. There's a 79 plus Gridiron Guardian player pack. I get 10 re-rolls. I can only take one player out of those 10. So wish me luck, gentlemen. Come on, baby. I don't know if there's a different animation or the big one, so I'm just going to assume everything's the same. Okay, that's not a bad pull at all. That's, I could totally use an 83 overall kicker. Derek Watt, okay. Just give me Justin Herbell. Actually, I don't even want him. I want my Nick. Come on, baby. You know you want to do it. Tyler Smith. Come on, baby. Come on. For as Nick Williams, tough. Come on, it's a season opener. Greedy Williams. I'm still taking the kicker. Out of what I've got right now, I'm taking the kicker, but that's not going to be it. We're going to get some heat packs. Shit! Oh my fucking god! Alexa. Dude, Alexa, don't ruin my phone. He's worth 1.3 fucking million. Are you kidding me? This is a reminder. Alexa, shut the fuck up. Alexa, I've got a good read for you. Good recommendation. Check it out, bud. What a wheel of my god in Madden 22. 91, oh my god. That's so good. He makes Justin Jefferson look like a bad wide receiver. We're going to have a fucking wide receiver do it. Oh, I have to win. I have to win still. I hate to say this because that's such an insane pull. And that just blows my mind. I actually just did that. But I don't need that position. I could get away just fine with Justin Jefferson. There are other 91s. There's a chance if in these last, these are my final two right here. If in my final two, I get a position better, like an 88 in a different position, I might not take DK. No, I have to take DK. I'm so sorry, Justin Jefferson. That DK is better than you in every stat. Andy's bigger. He's better in every fucking stat. And he's got two inches and like 30 pounds on it. All right. What abilities are we throwing on this DK Metcalf? Does he have a special ability bucket? Some players do in the fourth slot. He does. It's bulldozer or deep out. Oh, deep out elite. Absolutely. Double me. I'm gonna give him red zone threat. I'm kind of gonna use him like a tight end almost because he's like, he's not quite the size of a tight end but he ain't too far off. It's a historic wheel him up pull right now. I have to win this game. If I lose this game, this historic wheel him up pull will literally go into infinity and I have to go win this game with a 76 overall team. All right, defense. What are our abilities here? So Palamalu, Micah Parsons and let's add something to Pat Pete. Yeah. He could get pick artists. I think that's a little overrated as an ability but I might not have a choice. Give him on the ball. I don't like getting ran on. I guess I'll give him pick artists. Going new units this season. The all man premium silver in the 99 club away. Let's see what it's like. You know what's gonna come in insanely clutch is the challenge wheel. We never had to use this last season cause we won every single game but if I lose and complete the challenge wheel instead of spinning the wheel, I can salvage one player. I think my actually my main goal in this game should be to complete my challenge wheel. The challenge wheel has never been more important than it is right now. I need something doable. I need something doable. Triple crown. Oh no. Actually, no, I can do that. I can do that. I can do this. Oh my God. I can do it with DK. The triple crown inspired by Cooper cup is one receiver. One receiver must lead my team in yards, touchdowns and receptions. So if for any of those stats that is not true, I don't get the award. He's got, oh, that actually is his team. I don't know his first player but he's got Jay Jetta's Legerious Steam which is actually a pretty good sign that that's his top three. Cause if that was like 91, 92s, I'm in trouble. Damn. I'm starting to realize these uniforms might not be a very good option like this. That's a little, no, Matt. You don't you fucking remember anything ever. Marcus Mari Goda. What do you got? Hey, the last guy had Mari Goda. Throw it here, throw it here. You know you want to, you know you want to. Shit, shit. Damn it. Why does that route always get me? I am literally incapable of stopping that route. Come on. Come on. Come on. Nice fucking playmaker. Damn, this guy's good. This actually could be a run play. That's where I get in trouble here. Cause if this is a run play, let's go on Palomalu. God, I know what I, I know what I, I know my shit. Come on. I saw Jay Dot Taylor and I knew the guy was white. I was like, that's not Jonathan Taylor but it's Jim Taylor. Oh, I did not expect that. All right. Hey, that's really good for triple count because a running back, getting a touchdown doesn't affect me. I have to be the triple crown receiver in the game for my challenge. Jim Taylor, go ahead and take your touchdown. He did have some good passing runs of Randy Mossam. Don't know what this is. I'm going to feel it out. Metcalfe was kind of there. Not entirely, but kind of nice juke Jay Jettos. One for 11 Jay Jettos. Got to be careful. Going to Andre Swift here because it's too obvious in the past. Oh, I got to stay Andre Swift. Hey, I only lost two yards instead of five. I liked Metcalfe after a little bit. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Oh, it's sketchy, but it's a big boy. God, I love this Metcalfe. We're going to look for Jay Jettos on Saints Forks since this is my money play, basically. Wait for it, wait for the cut. There it is. He switched out of main coverage at the very right time. This guy's good. Wait. Oh, I just threw that to my fucking tight end. He was wide open. Oh, okay. So he went and used it, which is smart. I go, he used it, I got scared. I had nothing at that point and we turned the ball over. Tough. Now to make a big play on defense. Still got to get DK a touchdown. Run, play, run, play, run, play. Palamalu. No way I missed. And now it's these bums. I can get there. Oh, he doesn't throw it. Oh, Pat ball, Pat ball, Pat ball. Pat ball, let's go. What is he throwing? He's stiff arm. I should just kneel down, but hey, we still got out to the 19. Nice job, Pat Pete. I can't really beat man coverage right now. It's just insanely difficult. See what Metcalfe looks like. Get down, get down, Swift. I actually think that Metcalfe might be able to get down, get down. Michael Nick for seven. This is quite the offense here. Press coverage on Metcalfe. Ooh, I had Metcalfe early. Nope. See how do I, Swift might have 40 catching, bro. He's ass. Can I run the ball? Swift got there. Let's go. Come on, D Swift. Nice catch, hard cut. Nice job. Got to get Metcalfe back up though. Metcalfe needs to be triple crown. It is non-negotiable. Oh, that's bad ball. No, it's not. Keep saying I got to throw Metcalfe and I don't throw Metcalfe. But if it ain't there, I can't throw it. Ooh, tough ball. Beautiful throw. Sticky, sticky, sticky. I'm sending a fucking bomb to Metcalfe here. Let's go, Metcalfe! Finally switches to a single coverage on DK. No safeties over the top. And he takes advantage. I'm going for two, dude. It's a horrible ball. I'm on it, I'm on it, I'm on it. Earn 17, I'm calling the timeout. Give me the ball back. He's going to throw a par-um. Peel back to it. Interception! I don't even know who Hicks is! But go, baby! Get down, get down, get down! God, I hate playing with Silvers. Oh, he keeps scum kicking his Andy Horvath. Dude, what a play though. He made literally the play. I feel going a bit of huge right there. All right, I'm looking for Metcalfe. Okay. Super simple pass to Coquift. Metcalfe's still leading in receptions. Great pass, great catch. I'm going to check the game stats here in a second. I think Metcalfe underneath is good so long as he does edge rush. I'm going to try Metcalfe on a slant again. Great catch, great play. All right, so now his users on the left side. So I should be able to hit Jay Jedis here for a pretty easy one since he's just hovering Metcalfe. Wait for it, bingo, easy throw. Oh, what? What do you mean? He's wide open. Oh, I'm so fucking tilted. I'm so tilted. Jay Jedis, I need you big time here, baby. He's coming out running the football. He wants to chew this clock out. I don't blame him. Nice cut. Hell of a cut right there. Come on, throw something stupid. I know you want to, monster play coming up here. Good stop. Fourth and four, up by one point. Do you take your field goal? No, you don't. Right there. You got it. Now the run's coming back out. Polymallaby just got to be there. It's a left or right side stretch. I don't know which. Oh, right at the middle. I respect it. Ain't going nowhere though. Good. Hell of a play. Donald Parham gets touched down. He can just P-A-T it. I'm down my eight, so got to score and got to actually get my two point conversion. Dude, that field goal at halftime when I fumbled on the return, that would have been so big. I'm just going to give him the single coverage. Ooh, he's got double me activated. He's got to bail out from Metcalfe because that is such a threat. That's a walking touchdown. He didn't come into it. Good. He's freeing up Jay Jetta's underneath. Let's get rid of this one. I had Justin Jefferson over the middle. Oh, wait, shit. Did I just lose double me for that? I rarely activated it. I forgot how I can lose it. Tough. Okay, well, he's wide open here, so let's just take it. Oh, break that tackle for a touchdown Metcalfe. Oh, Metcalfe touchdown, unless he's over there. Yes, sir. Metcalfe, go! Triple crown is held right now, but we must go for two and we must get it. I'm staying five wide. It might be co-keefed, bro. I'm going Justin Jefferson on a slant. He's not going to see it. He's looking at everything else. Wait for it. Wait for it, right there. What a catch! Tie me up! What do you mean by that? Tie me up? That came out way. Come on, how I wanted. I don't care. Tie me up! Tie me up! 14 to 14. Cover committed, big hit. No, half back. Yes. I don't have the firepower to contain him right now, especially if he runs the ball. Oh, please don't. Yes. Whoa! Backpaint! Earning, I'm going to earn it. I'm literally seeing stars. Oh, Jay Jedis is going to torch this, man. Window. Fucking window. Metcalfe has a corner out. Jay Jedis. Ronnie lot right in my face. I'm calling the time out. Third and one, I'm not in field goal range yet. I'm going the exact same play, and I'm going to throw the corner out to Metcalfe. I think it's a good predetermined up, because look at that. Look at Ronnie lot. He's got to come down here to respect Jay Jedis. Wait a minute. I don't know what to do here. I can't beat him in overtime. I think Metcalfe corner out. That's our play here. Actually, no, Metcalfe slant. Got him. Please tell me for progress. Yes! We got it! Metcalfe corner out, put me in range. Come on, Metcalfe, you got him. Oh, he did. Metcalfe actually got him. I was scared of throwing it and throwing an INT. And now I'm in a position where I have to hail Mary. That's fine. Look at Ronnie lot. I'll hail Mary this to DK. It's touched down her bust. Oh my God. I should have thrown the corner out to DK there, but if you looked at the coverage it looked like it was fully clamped. DK just broke out of the round and torched his guy. So probably should have done it, but I didn't. He won the toss. All right, we need to turn over. We have successfully gotten a lot of turnovers. So he's gonna run the ball. I do the same thing. Great hit, Micah. He might have just not gotten it because of that. Yep, 13 inches. I expect him to run this. I'm gonna bring Palomalu down for the run. Oh, he didn't run it. I'm in trouble. Oh, we're good, we're good, we're good. Thank, dude. He literally could have bombed a touchdown on me. I pulled Palomalu out of the fucking safety spot. Could still run the football. He doesn't. Oh my God. Oh my God, are you kidding me? We had two guys up there, and it was two bombs, dude. Palomalu would know where to be seen there. I was like, to recast your fields and I don't even know who. Oh, I'm on the one. That's so bad. Please don't let me lose to safety, boys. I could throw Deandre Swift if he's there. He's there, he's there, he's there. Good catch. Micah, yes, sir. I haven't ran Saints Four too much today. This is like one of my favorite plays. I like Shakir. Oh! Ah-ha-ha. Kalil Shakir is Y and this is X. I legitimately don't know what route Deandre Swift runs here. I'm trying to throw this ball to Kalil Shakir, throw a hold, so throwing Y right here, right here I throw Y, hold X to rack it and run up the middle of the field. And look what he does. He throws an X or a fucking ball. That wasn't even close to him, even if it was supposed to be. I honest to God though, I don't care. I don't. What I needed was a triple crown and guess what, baby? Guess what? The most receptions, the most yards and the most touchdowns out of any single receiver in the entire game. In fact, the only competition I had was with myself, seven for 86, Justin Jefferson. Parham had one touchdown, so I had to beat that out for sure. And he must have had a defensive touchdown there at the end. That's so unlucky, but I'm not even, I'm literally not molding about that. I get to salvage DK Metcalf here, so he stays on the team. He said, your wifi is ass bros gay too. It's kind of funny. Did he know? Or is he just being rude? Hey, congratulations, Alpha. You successfully, in overtime, beat a 76 overall team with your God squad. Here's what happens now. I take my loss and I have to remove everyone except using my challenge wheel to salvage. I'm hanging on to DK Metcalf. Wow, he was insane too. He was making some nasty mosses. He's such a beast. The only other player I added actually was Patrick Peterson because my first wheel spin was completions before incomplete. That didn't happen because I literally threw in complete to the under switch on the very first play of the game. So Patrick Peterson was actually insane too, so it really sucks to lose him. And if I didn't have DK Metcalf, he'd probably be the player at salvage, but unfortunate. I'm proud. I think we earned a DK Metcalf. I also got a loss, which sucks, you know. Keep DK Metcalf. And who knows? Even if I'd thrown to the right person, that player wasn't guaranteed a touchdown. I still had to get all the way down the field. Love you boys. Insane first episode. I hope you guys enjoyed. This was able ass to record. This was so much fun. And I'll see you guys in the next video. Peace.
