The most impressive GUTS contestant ever? | S02E01 

Trading away a guaranteed 4 points is nuts

Zack talking Joez into that trade is teammate malpractice.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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!"

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

I can't wait for the Warehouse Guts Tournament

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

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

This is the best thing on RU-vid right now.

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. 😂

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

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!!

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

………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.

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

the greatest juicing scandal in guts history

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

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...

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.

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!

Wild and Crazy Kids next!

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.

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

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.

is no one talking about this PERFECT score?!

“My guy is 27” HAS ME ROLLLLLIN

I wish RU-vid had a ❤ button for you, kushy fellas.

Joez is so sad at the end lol. Buyers remorse

So glad y'all immediately started season two. When's Global Guts getting cracked open?

Red has “On to Cincinnati” vibes

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?”

yes dear was my fav show back in the day

Forget GeoGuesser. This is a Guts channel now.

Best series on RU-vid

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

Let’s goooooooo. New season baby!

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

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

Haven’t slept since Monday. Worth it for early morning GUTS. ❤

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

Purple looked like Prince Fielder at the Home Run Derby

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.

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

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.

Watchin' Playing' Guts is always an immediate view from me.

I need you guys to pay attention to the 2 helpers at the top of the volleyball event helping blue and red because they would hit a jump 5 every time and it’s hilarious

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

Hindsight is 20/20, but in the moment I liked the trade. Process was solid, you're choosing between: -A surefire 4 points, but nothing else -Likely 2 points, plus two future pick swaps to increase your odds of getting 2 or 4 points on the future So the potential payoff of the trade nets you a max of 10, points instead of just 4. It was just too much upside value to pass up imo Where it really went wrong is that purple just collapsed down the stretch, but that woulda been hard to see coming

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.

When will episode two be out? My wife and I watch these together and keep score.😀😊

Bad day to be a Joezack fan

I'm loving this series. Also love that joez had the idea for your draft spot to be determined by the place you took in previous episode and was shot down, so joezach wins season 1 and they immediately go to that format

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

Congrats to Jake on a solid first place victory! It's been a long time coming. I think this trade was fair. Jake gave up a lot of capital to get Chris. On a side note, Jimmy really blew this #1 pick but I don't blame him. Brandon's energy coming out of the tunnel immediately made him seem like a solid pick. And from seeing them standing all standing next to each other and being a similarly sized there was no way to tell that Chris was completely jacked. As soon as Chris dominated the rings by not even using the footholds (the first player to do so) I pretty much knew it was game over.

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

You can tell it’s like the last taping of the day, Mike and Moe are like so over it! Mike finally got that bump during Red’s basic training run lol

Lol loved how mike interviews the girl even though she came in 2nd on 2nd event. "I'm not talking to the ginger again he's scary"

The Warehouse Guts games are going to be GOATED!!

i cannot believe that jimmy correctly guessed the exact number of hits

I wish the MLB GMs meetings had trade negotiations like this

A million balls coming at me at once is one hell of a quote

This kid is a demon i wish we could have a lil dynamite matchup- i would LOVE if you guys did a 30for30 style documentary about these champions of our childhood

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"

I started laughing out loud immediately when I saw the rings. I was so happy for Jake's sanity when she made it across.

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
