Zack talking Joez into that trade is teammate malpractice.

Joez with the second pick: “It’s between two choices for me”.

Trading away a guaranteed 4 points is nuts

All of Chris's interviews were just "I'm here so I don't get fined." 😂

Zack absolutely sold, giving away the best contestant they had seen for future picks without seeing the prospects is brutal

I think points on the board is worth more than a future first pick.

Whenever Chris looked behind Mike during the interviews, he was asking his wife and two kids "what's wrong with this guy?"

She’s waiting for her pitch. She’s havin an at bat🤣

Jimmy jokingly said it in an old episode but converting the warehouse into a Guts arena to do their own version would be so much fun to watch

Jimmy calling “he’s going to bunt 24” is actually wild

Chris looks relieved and hopeful that this might be the thing that makes his father finally say I love you

Joezack giving up a guaranteed 4 points to start off the season for the *possibility* of moving up 2 draft spots in future eps -- which is no guarantee to translate into actual points given how spotty the drafting has traditionally been during the series -- is absolutely crazy. The #1 GUTS rule should be to NOT trade a slam-dunk 1st place finisher for unknown future assets. "That 1st round pick next episode could be anything -- it could even be 4 points!"

According to my research, Chris made the Orlando Sentinel a couple of times as a high school baseball player. I can't tell if he ever played college ball. His Facebook is mostly his kids playing baseball and softball. He has a small business selling car parts.

I can’t believe Zack both green-lit that trade, but also negotiated it into a worse one by agreeing that it should be pre seeing the crop. This series has been hilarious but also heart wrenching watching poor Joez getting constantly swept along and bamboozled. That “you’ll have the first round pick next episode…you’ll probably trade it away” comment was so raw and funny I laughed so hard.

It's been months since I last had passion in my life as intense as the two minutes I spent screaming "DON'T TRADE!"

That trade was a crime. Jozack draft and trade from behind so well, they got absolutely fleeced, gave up a guarantee 4 pts lol

Red kid had to take time off from his job at the mill to come do this episode. That’s why he was so salty.

Normally the players get a little blurb like "White Water Rapids Enthusiast" or "Rides Horses" and Chris just gets "Ultimate Competitor". It says it all.

Chris studied the game, watched film, you name it. Not just an athlete, but a scholar, and rumor has it, quite the ladies man

Did they miss the sick headstand at 2:25?

Missed opportunity! I feel like I was robbed of another exquisite episode of watching Jake fall further into despair and disappointment as his contestant gets worse over the episode. That terrible trade took that from us all. 😂

Two suggestions. Point System: 325/200/75. Bonus Points: 50 for person that draft the crag winner. The point system like that makes it slightly different than 3/2/1 or 4/2/0 (both are the same technically) giving a bonus for drafting the winner and a negative for drafting the loser. Also shout out to the scoring system in Guts/Crag. The bonus 50 for the crag makes trading a little more interesting and makes the crag hype every time.

What a steal by GM Jake. A guaranteed 4 points like that should be valued at 3-4 trade deadline swaps.

I can't wait for the Warehouse Guts Tournament

Making a trade here is like splitting 10s in blackjack.

This is the best thing on KZfaq right now.

I know the filming doesn't line up but between Jake's pitching last night in Blitzball 4 and his big win in this episode he's back baby

As a lifelong Joez/Zack fan (cheered them on all last season) I was SCREAMING at my screen for them to not accept that trade!!

I'm completely convinced that Joez is on staff entirely to boost Jimmy's confidence.

Just want to note, functionally 4,2,0 and 3,2,1 point distributions will result in identical standings at the end of each season. So the change in scoring will have literally no impact on the game at all. Unless you guys enable trades for points

It's weird to see Jake happy during one of these haha

Chris, the red kid, looks like he's scared of snipers when he gets interviewed.

Having the benefit of just recently finding and binging this series. In an episode from a couple yrs ago, they actually talk about if any players get a perfect score. They bring up Chris in that episode but have obviously long forgotten.

What an absolute throw by JoeZack.

We need Chris and Lil Dynamite in the Warehouse for BB6.

How many season of guts are there? This series is too good

I’m not sure how many Guts episodes there are, but I’m going to be so sad when they run out.

Why not a full 162 game season with 6 games a week? 🥺

At 7:30 the dudes in the background... classic!!

The new points system is actually completely equivalent to the old point system. Yay math!

………Unless there are some GUTS episodes the guys have watched and not put on their guts playlist, then yes, THIS IS THE GREATEST PLAYER EVER ON GUTS!!! With 1925 being the absolute most a player can score, it has been done 3 times. This episode, the JANA episode and the MIKE episode. I went back and checked and like I thought, both Jana and Mike both shared 1st place points in one event each. Making CHRIS the only player to ever win every event OUTRIGHT. So YES……Chris is the greatest contestant ever. Also, there were 7-8 players that finished with the second best score of 1825.

First game of the season and already huge trade ramifications going forward. It's gonna be exciting!

the greatest juicing scandal in guts history

Can't wait for JoeZack to win their second season in a row.

Red was CLOCKED IN from the very beginning, that’s a true athlete right there!

Wait... I don't have to wait a year and a half for Season Two?!? And you drop only one new episode a week!?! What is this, 1997? Love it.

Some of the best content you guys are making. Making this 30 year old show so exciting!

Joez gave into peer pressure. But wild that you trade away guaranteed Mickey Mantle for IKF and then for the chance at Alfonso Soriano, keep in mind, the CHANCE at that. I mean.... wtf.

One of the best obstacle runs we've ever seen, controversial pool runs, and expert bunting

THE MOMENT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR. SEASON 2, LFG!!!!!

This new format makes the trade negotiations so much more interesting, this was a good idea guys 👍🏼

Again... no matter how you slice it... the 4-2-0 scoring gives exactly the same results as the earlier 3-2-1 scoring. The point numbers will be different, but there is no greater penalty for finishing last this season compared with last season. But in the end, this is still some of the most entertaining content I've ever watched...

I can't believe JoeZack gave up this stud. I feel like this will be like trading the Babe to the Yankees

I can't be the first, but I'll be the next to point out that the 4-2-0 points format is functionally identical to the 3-2-1 format

Wild and Crazy Kids next!

Joez is so sad at the end lol. Buyers remorse

Sure, at the time Chris' revolutionary bunting style seemed to be the way to win the baseball event. But modern analytics would argue that Stacey's approach of being more selective and taking pitches with no bunting is the better play in the long run

22:53 "He sends him on his f**king way!!" 🤣🤣🤣

New format looks promising, but if it doesn't work out... Allow me to propose another scoring system that puts more emphasis on individual event wins. In game scoring: 1 point for every round individual win while player is under your control (4 pts handed out per episode) 2 pts for an individual player Agrocrag win. End of episode scoring: 1st place gets 3 pts and 3rd pick next episode, 2nd gets 1 pt, 3rd gets 0 pts and first pick next episode. So that means if a person picks a competitor that sweeps the entire competition in an episode then they will have earned 9pts but have third pick. That's pretty unlikely though, since it is rare for one kid to sweep. And it opens up a opportunity for strategic play such as earning three wins and a likely first place finish in an episode, the trading away before the crag.

Hey just wanted to say my game group plays along and we have our own scoring and stuff. This series is a lot of fun and some of the best non-sports stuff you’ve done!

Joez has never heard the phrase "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."

I’m sorry Joez/Zack, but I’m currently going back through all the Guts! videos getting an all time leaderboard for each event, and trading Chris away wasn’t just a bad move, the kid per this episode and every single one before it, even the not season specific episodes, like just the Jimmy/Jake videos, he broke the record for Wild Pitch by 4, Boogie Down, and Basic Training by 4 seconds, plus he is tied for second in Spike It with 3 (record being 4). Chris to this point so far is the single best Guts! contestant. Nobody else has 3 first place marks. Yes, you could have an episode where an event is a 1st/2nd/3rd result and not timed or points, and a few other caveats but Chris played the games he was dealt and brought it.

Love to see Jake gets some positive vibes from one of his contestants after the bizarre luck from season 1 and the Crag Brag going so disastrously. Joezack getting fleeced at the trade deadline is tough to watch.

REQUEST: When you choose the thumbnail for the episode, can you be careful not to expose the winner? For example, in this episode it says, "The most impressive GUTS contestant ever?", and the winner is shown in the thumbnail. Why should it matter?! Because my two kids and I play along at home. Details... - We draft immediately after J, J, & JZ complete their draft. - We have the same trade deadline as J, J, & JZ. - We like to stay warm, so we wear red, blue, and purple blankets to identify our picks. So it's definitely possible that the thumbnail can influence our draft, and it has so far in a couple of episodes. If it's all the same to y'all at Jomboy Media, keeping that hint out of the thumbnail makes playing along at home more viable.

Forget GeoGuesser. This is a Guts channel now.

Jake is incredibly great at pausing at the start so all 3 contestants are a simple click from each other

JoeZack really sold that trade man. i truly hope this doesn’t come back to bite them with unforeseen draft picks from Jakey.

25:47 Mike had a f**cking joker moment holy crap

The only way that trade negotiation starts from Joezack is "you want this kid we get to swap with you anytime we want for the rest of the season"

is no one talking about this PERFECT score?!

Red has “On to Cincinnati” vibes

“My guy is 27” HAS ME ROLLLLLIN

Y'all need to track down Chris and bring him in to break down his performance. Iconic.

GM Jake with the trade of a lifetime. Season 2 off to a great start for our captain

My day immediately gets better as soon as I hear “do da do duh do ya have it?”

Bad day to be a Joezack fan

The most mad I've ever been at somebody trading a player away

My wife and I play along with our own draft. Could you try to avoid spoilers in the title, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Love the intense trade talks this episode! What a start to season 2

Never trade a guaranteed win. Come on. I’m pulling for you two. Let’s go!

I can’t wait to see JoeZack defend their season 1 championship trophy

Points go up this season and Jo/zach just throw 4 points away. UNREAL

They should have a producer fast forward through the episode and screen grab each contestants 'spill your guts' page. and add that to the beginning when players are being picked.

I wish KZfaq had a ❤ button for you, kushy fellas.

Jake absolutely fleeced Joezack! They'll have to hope there's an obvious winner in those future rounds. They are also relying on Jake finishing in third to even have a chance at the first pick. If he finishes in second they can't guarantee they get the contestant they want by trading with him because Jimmy could take the contestant they are looking at

Trading away 4 points to try to get 4 points the next round is wilddddd

Just wish they would talk about the Guts spotters dancing at the beginning.

Purple looked like Prince Fielder at the Home Run Derby

Red got a perfect score. He should be in an All-Stars game

Gotta take the guaranteed points right now. Jozack with one of the worst trade's in Guts history.

It's a little weird seeing a 27-year-old man reach his life's pinnacle on a Nickelodeon gameshow from 30 years ago. But, I was super entertained. Chris is the GOAT.

Purple was a big disappointment, one of the worst tactical players we've seen. Going for full strength spikes in volleyball rather than controlled tap backs, going high in the elastic jungle, waiting for her pitch in baseball, and missing two actuators on the Crag. She was never going to beat Red but she should have sailed to a second place finish.

that kid was a BEAST! yall def need to have him come to the warehouse as a guest appearance if he's down!!!

THIS KID IS INSANEEEE JOEZACK WHAT ARE YOU DOING

The fact that they thought purple could get 2nd place was BA-NA-NAS

yes dear was my fav show back in the day

Kid knows that he dominates and doesn't want to come off as a sore winner.

Making trades for 1/4 of the season on game one is a disaster of an idea. What’s gonna be left to trade in the future? There needs to be other things added to the mix to make trades more interesting. Picks don’t matter if you’re down 4-0 points.

Best series on KZfaq
