 Gentlemen, I'd like to welcome you back to the greatest Madden series on the planet, the third installment of Madden 23 Lilma. Thought I'd go a little ASMR today. The third episode, number one, Trace. And obviously we're looking at a team that could make a serious run at the playoffs. Now we're not there yet, we've got some building to do. But Colton Miller, our newest addition from the end of last episode, an amazing left tackle. Jay Jennings, of course, our prestige. Givante Williams has played great. Zach Wilson throwing dots for a goal. Jamar Chase and Tony G. Thank you very much, Twitter.com. Micahyde, Micah Parsons. All you Saddlewicons. Kyle Hamilton, Steve Atwater. Now, if you, for some reason, skipped episode two, which is a crime in and of itself, take yourself to jail. I want to explain two things real quick. Number one, there are power-up players in the game. So instead of Pat Fryermuth, we took him out and we're using Legends, Steve Atwater, as our power-up player. So anytime Steve Atwater gets a sack, an interception, a force fumble, or a touchdown, we can take him up one tier. Hey, by the way, future MMG here. Want to remind everyone, I did upgrade Atwater from episode two. However, his first upgrade doesn't give him an overall boost. It just lets him use chemistry. It's kind of dumb, but it still counts as an upgrade. The only other change is now we are doing three wheel spins per episode. This is a change we made because there's only five regular season games and two or three playoff games. I'm not even sure what it is right now. But either way, we needed a little more juice. And just like every 18-year-old on TikTok right now, we got the juice. All right, boys, our first wheel spin of episode number three. Hopefully you guys are picking up if you're new to the channel. And, oh geez, I love you. Thanks for sticking with me. We have three-time store packs. There's pro elite packs, pro game day packs, and Legends fantasy packs. I'm going to do one of each just for a little variety, even though I think Legends fantasy pack is obviously the best one. Now, I think the most important thing is we can replace some silvers like Justin Schaefer. Yeah, he sucks. But he's slightly better than the silver I have in that left guard right now. So that ain't bad. Julian Love, okay. Probably not Mudra, Shard Robinson won't help us out. Monty Rice, damn. That was a weak first round. I don't think any of those help us. That was a tough one. Let's see our top round. A punter. Wow. Jacoby Meyers, L. Our legends got to be something amazing or we just took an L. Hey! Oh my God, do this your own. Benus is worth like 400K. We get two picks. I can't believe I almost just said it, but I almost took the punter. Excellent start. Let me get some offensive line. A right tackle maybe. Wide receiver. Detackle, okay. Well, you know what? Those are detackle upgrades. Trent McDuffie, I don't think you helped us. Devontae Parker, you don't help us either. A double elite though. AJ Brown. Let's go. What a pull. Yo, I'm not even gonna lie. His like stats are low key. Not very good. And then a pro game day pack. Top off this wheel spin and a lot of corners. I, you know, it's sad because I don't need corners anymore. A 77 overall punter. Headliners. Al Woods, that's actually a very solid detackle upgrade. Another wide receiver. We don't need no elites. Another wide receiver. We have probably the best young wide receiver core you could make right now. AJ Brown, Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase. And Devontae Williams, dude. If that was your fantasy team, wouldn't you just mwah? So now I'm actually going to have a backup halfback. Ron Benus has more acceleration, more agility, better catching, better change of direction. One lower truck, one lower break tackle. I hate to say it, Devontae Williams. I think the bus is better. Let's put Devontae at the backup halfback. Both of them can get wraps. I use my halfbacks a lot, so we're going to need the energy. And that fullback. But for now, I'm going to put Devontae Williams. So when people scum kick, it goes to Devontae Williams. It almost makes more sense for Devontae to be my halfback and Jerome to be my fullback. All right. I take it back. I take it back. I take it back. Devontae Williams will be my starter and Jerome Benus will be my fullback. Awesome first wheel spin. He added some decent players at some bizarre positions, but also AJ Brown. So I'll absolutely take that 50K per field goal. Okay. We don't get to use this wheel spin until the game is over. So we have to win to use it. But every field goal I kick in the game, I get 50K to spend on one player. So it kind of works against itself. If I'm kicking field goals, I'm not getting touchdowns. But if I got three field goals, 150K is going to get me an insane player. All right. First and foremost, I got to win this game. So our third and final wheel spin, it might be the best exchange sets. I do like this wheel spin a lot. But if I don't get the right positions, it's going to be absolutely useless for me. So if I go into sets, there's going to be an exchange set. The best one in the game right now is 84 to 85 overall elite player. So I'm going to put in 382 overalls. And it's going to give me an 84, 85 elite player. Come on. Left or right end? Left or right end? Come on, baby. Damn. Bro, you know what's so sad? This is such an amazing pull. He's better than Zach Wilson. But I want to use Zach Wilson so bad. I'm going to put Dak at backup quarterback. I got a whole cut out of him, dude. He's my good luck charm. We're 2-0. I'm not switching up quarterbacks right now. I don't care how good the quarterback is. Our next 84, 85 elite is Matthew Judon. 85 overall. Now, how does this affect LeBron's legacy? How does this fit into my lineup? Matthew Judon is insanely good, dude. He's a great edge rusher, too. I'm putting Judon in at left outside linebacker. Foliassad as our true middle linebacker. And Foliassad will get a lot more reps when we're actually in 3-4. That's an amazing pull. Judon's an amazing pull. Back press guy, not so much. Hey, Dad, how are you? I was calling earlier, but it's going to be a lengthy conversation. I'm in the middle of a wheel of mud, so could I give you a call later? Hey, why don't you say hi to the boys, though? The boys, I'm recording right now. The boys are going to want to hear from you. The boys are on the corner? Boys are always on the corner, Dad. They work the corner. But the boys are here listening. Do you have anything you want to say to them? He's my bankroll. Nice. Do you want to give them any, like, life advice? Listen, dudes, go to school. School's a good thing. God bless you. Oh, I thought you were going to say Mary Rich. That's my favorite one. Let's just say we're going to school for this one. All right, guys, go to school. Mary. Mary Rich. Love you, Dad. Bye. Are they growing up, my dad would go, Matt, Mary Rich. All right, 80 overall, 80-1-0, 80-D. Feeling good. And, of course, the challenge wheel. We clutched it up last episode with the hat trick, and that got us an awesome pack. Today, it's going to be, ooh, hey, you know what? This is a perfect one. I'm glad we got this again so soon. We had this the first game, and that guy raged quite too fast for me to see it. Five different players need 25 plus yards. Borderback passing yards do not count. We're going up against Juggernaut. He's got Randy Moss, Desmond Ritter, and I don't know who else. He's looking at my team thinking he's in a lot of trouble. It's an 80 overall, don't worry. Desmond, okay, Desmond Ritter is the nastiest rookie from your quarterback. He's so good, and he's going to start out here with a very good run. Run game is strong this year. If you let people run all over you, you're going to lose a lot of games. That's open, but not too open. Ooh, did he free form that? This might be a run. A counter maybe, a stretch. Just a handoff. We're there. Monty Rice. Dude, what if we go undefeated? First season of a Wheel of Monkman 23. Just go straight undefeated. Let's find out. I see the halfback. Dude, that's the silver. All right, let's drop back pass, bro. Got to be passing here. Corner out, no post. No, get there, got on. Oh my God. Okay, listen, I know I made a mistake with Pat Fryermuth. When I tried to go out at the one and get him to upgrade, but dude, I should have gone down and kicked a field goal. Kyle Hamilton, X-Factor activated, and he's going to go halfback. He's going to go halfback because he's spooked. No. No. Does he throw this dig? He wants to throw this dig. You got nothing, buddy. Did I just get passed? Did I just get DPI? All right, I'm sending a screamer at you, bro. Monty, Monty, Monty. I got Hyde and Kyle Hamilton in the zone, though. That's hype on defense. I'm just got to get Micah Parsons, and we're in business. Five players, 25 plus yards. Currently, we have zero players with any yards. Try and get some simiards. Steve Atwater's coming on my dome piece. Go Jamar, go Jamar, go Jamar. All right, Jamar to shit. Jamar. Oh my God, Eli Apple stepped up. No. So I've thrown an INT. I've got five yards with Jamar chasing. I'm bottled other than that. All right, let's keep playing great defense, though. Nothing's open. Absolutely nothing. Absolutely nothing's open. Giant hit. I think a blitz is going to throw this guy off. Yup, yup, yup. Oh, way. See this guy's bow jiden, like the name. Ron is killing me, dude. I didn't even, we didn't even touch him. I'm going to do it. I'm going to get the challenge real complete, and I'm going to win the game. Tony G. Whoa, they're coming in so fast. Ha, game. Oh, no. Oh, no. Dude, I got rocked as I threw it. How am I getting hit so fast? I got rocked as I hit it, and that ball came out horribly. All right, he's sending all this heat. Let's try a hat-back stretch. Let's try and get around it. Stretch. Beautiful. Ah, beautiful might not be the word. That's only two yards. I'm looking for Tony G here. I'm going to need him. Tony G, clear. Clear? Okay. A little contested. Oh, for Tony G's back? Yes, sir. Don't reward that. That's such a bad pass. Oh, he's on the mic talking, huh? We got to win this game, gentlemen. What choice do we have? What? God, fuck. 15, a field goal will put me up by a point. I have all of my points off of Kyle Hamilton interceptions. All right, hey, great return. Take this to the 34 minimum, Jamar. Start us out on the right foot, yeah? Hard cut. Okay, Jamar? Jamar! Holy shit. Okay, I could have taken that. Went down and taken my field goal, bro. But like, we're watching the same game, right? Okay, gigantic blitz. Justin Jefferson. At water. At water. Ooh, I could have had that. Oh, no. I was trying to hit stick with someone else. I hit stick early. He's showing Johnson. All right, why don't we just do the only route? It's Justin Jefferson and I'll block Javante. Now we throw Justin Jefferson. Okay. That might be the better way to do this. Still man coverage. And he is wide open. Hard cut. Come on, switch on, switch on, switch on. What was that? Hard cut. Just got to clear, buddy. Yup. Good blocks. Good blocks. There he is. Not the best throw, but it works. Let's go. I don't think it's a blitz. Let's go. Let's go. He switched his zone at the perfect moment for us. Let's go. Justin Jefferson underneath will be button-anking wide open. This guy's a user D-line. We're fine. Just wait for it. Wait for it. There it is. Beautiful. Whoa. Hamilton. What happened there? Could be another run. It's not. Right here, right here, right here. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Driver's seat. All right, Jefferson's got 59. Javante's got zero. Javante's got eight. Javar's got 22. That's literally exactly what we needed. Hard cut. Okay, we'll take this. Just need some decent blocking here. Great. Great. Let's go. Great hard cut, Javante. Javante has now 22. Same thing. Other side. Hopefully he shifts. This user's going to shift. This user's going to go the wrong way. Perfect. Okay. I just need to read. Oh! AJ Brown, Tony G. And then we got challenge complete. Roll out clean. Roll out clean. Hit him. Hit him. Let's go. Hard cut. Let's go. I need one more player. Oh, cut it up. Cut it up. Cut it up. Oh, let's get in the Atwater sack right now. I'm going to jump this snap count. Read for it. Yes. Atwater. Through the middle. Oh! Snap. Go, go. Yes, sir! That's an upgrade. His snap count is literally as fast as humanly possible, so it's pretty easy to time it up. Let's get to. There it is. Atwater! Oh, I feel like a fucking moron. Going for the INT right here. Right in the middle. Right in the middle. Matthew. Judah. Fourth and 28. King. Oh, no. Oh, but he's out. He doesn't have a move. 25 yards. So we get down. We get down to the 22 with just AJ Brown. And that's all she wrote. 50k for a player. All right. Play action. Where's X? Ah, run it. Run it, run it, run it. Where's AJ Brown? AJ Brown's blocking. How the fuck did that happen? That was a stupid pass. What am I doing, bro? All right. I'm going to fake the blitz with Atwater. And then I'm going to lurk the piss out of him over the middle. Throws the corner out again. But that's been king. Just been fucking king. Who are you? I'm going to get on the bike. Real quick. Will you let me kick a field goal? Yes! He's letting me kick a field goal. Let's fucking go. All right. Nice. I thought he was going to go on there and talk shit. I'm sorry you guys can't hear it. Unless I invite him to a party, you guys can't hear him. And this guy's kind of probably having a bad day right now. So I don't want to do that to him. I thought he'd be talking shit. But I was like, bro, will you let me kick a field goal? And he goes, yeah. Almost completely. So that one of the worst games I've ever had. Ritter outplayed me by far. 102.5. Yeah, I didn't have that throw there at the end, but one touchdown. Four interceptions. We have four rushes for 30 yards with Givante Williams. Jay Jettas, 3 for 59. Jamar Chase, 3 for 34. 25, 25. AJ Brown, 75. Tony G, 38. Added a 25 plus from Givante Williams. And that's five players with 25 plus. So challenge wheel. I get one pack from the store with coins. That will be the Legends Fantasy pack once again. That's got us an 87-year-old bettots. Rite guard, right tackle would be amazing, though. Hot wide receivers, but right guard, right tackle. Eight. Logan, Ryan, dope. But I can't really use that. I don't think. All right, right guard, right tackle, right guard, right tackle. Patterson. I got too many hatbacks now, honestly. Tyler Lockett, that's a dope pull. I can't use you either. We get all the wrong positions, right guard, right tackle. Does that even exist in the Legends promo? Tough. We kicked a field goal that game, which means we have 50K to spend on one player. I'm going to use that 50K on a right tackle. It looks like Ryan Ramchick is our best option here. 85 overall, right tackle. Steve Atwater had a sack, which means we can take Steve Atwater to his 81 overall version. All right, Steve Atwater, now an 81 overall. He hits 81 speed. Actually, a pretty big step up, because he has 79 before. Should be easier to use for him just by a bit. All right, boys. Amazing episode number three of Wheel of Mut. I hope you enjoyed. And I have to sleep last. And I'll see you in the next episode. Peace.
