Season 8 Preview The Playin’ Guts formula, through the ruthless oversight of Sam/Mo (and sometimes Zo), has been well refined with an 8-episode season and two resets at Episode 4 and Episode 8. Each Team gets one draft pick in each of the 1-2-3 slots for Episodes 1-3 and Episodes 5-7. The previous-season champion chooses draft order. Each team can be blinded once per season if agreed upon by other two teams prior to an event. Episode scoring remains: 4 points for 1st place, 2 points for 2nd place, and 0 points for 3rd place. There is 1 bonus point opportunity for episode finish: 1st place - flawless victory (FEV); 2nd place - never last; 3rd place - 1000+ points. There is 1 bonus point opportunity for correct Call Your Shot (see below for new weighted Call Your Shot). Accepted new rules Each team gets one first-event weighted Call Your Shot pick per season (2 bonus point possibility) and disqualification of your competitor in an event eliminates bonus points earned or opportunities for that episode. Rejected Chicken bones in Joez’s throat, each team has to earn a reset, decimal scoring, Super Seducer bonus, Zach’s competence at keeping track of Call Your Shot’s Tune in next time for Power Ups… Playin’ Guts Seasons Overview Team Joezack - 4 championships Team Jake - 2 championships Team Jimmy - 1 championship Crag Brag winners - No one cares Note: Team Jimmy has never been solo last place in a season. He is very proud. Prediction Team Joezack will win another Championship after repeating the same draft order as last season. Team Joezack will draft well from behind-as always-and will make aggressive (some say reckless) decisions that work out splendidly. Team Jake will rebuild from Season 7 after he learns to stop choosing tiny boys over already grown girls for a close 2nd place season finish. Which leaves, Team Jimmy…it finally happens. After attempting to over-orchestrate the choices of the other teams, he makes numerous unforced errors with his Call Your Shot picks, trades away draft picks for nothing again, and loses confidence in his ability to draft by over-thinking colors and events to finally finish in solo last place. And if you need to get up-to-date from last season, see my recap of Season 7 in the replies....
One Joezack fan’s thoughts on last season's (Season 7) Watchin’ Playin’ Guts: Season 7 Recap Team Joezack with a dominate wire-to-wire win! That’s 4 championships in 7 seasons-might we say a Golden State Warriors-esque dynasty. They draft well from behind; they draft well (enough) from ahead; they set up the draft the way they want it. Joezack takes calculated risks that work out beautifully like putting their foot on the throat of Team Jimmy by also choosing 1st place in the season finale Call Your Shot (CYS). As a Joezack fan, I am over the moon. I’ve been a fan of this team from the old days when there was no Joe and they were just a ‘zack’. At that time, they were relegated to the 3rd pick each episode. But look at them now, the underdog has become the powerhouse. They are the Gonzaga of Playin’ Guts (except they win championships). The camaraderie between the co-GMs; the trust they have in one another-they are in lock and step. It’s really not fair to have a team made up of two fellows who both draft so well from behind. They are dominant and there’s no end in sight. Team Jimmy continues his never solo last place streak for the 7th straight season. He is in esteemed company-the Toronto Blue Jays went 10 seasons (from 2014-2023) without getting solo last place in the AL East before ending that streak in the 2024 campaign. There’s just three more seasons and then Team Jimmy to be in such esteemed company as this very well-respected Jays streak (and at least he’s well-surpassed the current Mariners streak of 5 never solo last place finishes). His strategy to never finish solo-last is working to perfection. Thinking like a 54-percenter, he drafted Mike in the season finale (an equal participant in the much-discussed high-five) rather than take the high-risk, high-reward pick of Christy. For Team Jake, this was a clear tank season. No one could purposely have played as bad as he did this season while actually trying. Even the 2024 White Sox won their last two series of the season, but Team Jake said no-we’re placing all our chips on Tiny Purple Boy and a high-five that can’t slap an actuator-and we are losing in dramatic fashion. And for that, I applaud his decisiveness. Although there is no benefit for tanking or rebuilding, Team Jake clearly thought this was the best strategy. We all know he’s a first or last type of guy. “If you ain’t first, you’re…Team Jimmy.”
Do you need to know the rules To enjoy the game? Like, I don’t understand the rules to cricket, and I can sit through about 35 seconds of that before giving up and watching baseball.
Mike O'Malley in the warehouse would be so good. I weirdly feel he would consider it. He's obviously a baseball guy based on all of his references during Guts events. I need to hear him compare a warehouse athlete to Darryl Strawberry and/or Jose Canseco for my life to have any meaning.
New bonus point idea: the person in last place before the crag can “Call the Crag”. They have to correctly pick what place EACH player finishes in on the crag to get 1 extra point.
Jake with a great blind read right out the gate with the contestant names: "Ron, Dambrian, and Lindow" That got such a solid laugh out of me I had to run it back a couple more times just to appreciate it.
JoeZack agreeing to be in between purple and blue, when the only remaining choices were purple and blue, is really underrated classic Vaudeville comedy here.
The bump and dump was more common in the 1980’s when everyone was riddled with cocaine induced diarrhea. I could see Mike being pretty familiar with this phenomenon.
You guys could absolutely get Mike to make a cameo! I would love to see him join you guys for an episode of Playin' Guts! Maybe Mo could join too! You could ask them if they remember this...get the inside scoop on the show and some behind the scenes stuff. That would be so cool!
A 45 second Wikipedia browse shows that Mike O’Malley is a father of three. I feel pretty strongly that the odds have to be real slim that none of his kids have come across this content yet. You guys have to be on his radar, but be advised, according to Wiki, he’s a big time Red Sox fan.
Commenting before I watch the episode, but I feel like it's gonna be Jake's year. Don't get me wrong, I'm #TeamJoeZackforlife but I also love an amazing underdog story.
When Mike asked Darren about the false start, all I could think about was, “Hey, Peter. What’s happening? Listen, we have to talk about your TPS reports. Did you get the memo?
I just want to go on the record and say that while I have heard rumblings that many will jump from the JoeZack fan club now that they have established themselves as a powerhouse dynasty and begin rooting for Jake because they feel bad for his abysmal season 7… I will not be one of them. TEAM JOEZACK TIL I DIE!

Crag Brag winners - No one cares
Note: Team Jimmy has never been solo last place in a season. He is very proud.

Damn bro next time put a spoiler warning! (5/5 stars, no notes)
impeccable preview for the upcoming season, thank you.
10/10 would recommend
@@ItsDJOBie Sorry man. Spoiler alert…the Texas Rangers won last season’s World Series 😊
"We'll put the new rules in the description." *narrator voice* They did not...
See my comment for the new accepted rules as well as the ideas that were rejected for the new season
Do you need to know the rules
To enjoy the game? Like, I don’t understand the rules to cricket, and I can sit through about 35 seconds of that before giving up and watching baseball.
16:45 the bump and dump…nice
Mike O'Malley in the warehouse would be so good. I weirdly feel he would consider it. He's obviously a baseball guy based on all of his references during Guts events. I need to hear him compare a warehouse athlete to Darryl Strawberry and/or Jose Canseco for my life to have any meaning.
mike o'malley is literally waiting by the phone for the jomboy call, he would 100% come to the warehouse instantly
@dakineprotoss Thats what my heart tells me too
I want this to be true. Please
Mike and Mo as umps or referees for the next event!
@postmaal07 This has the makings of a Pro-am event

Checked the description, the two new rules were, indeed, NOT listed. Lol
same lol
@@kayazoiscool Third
When was the last time any of us checked a yt vid description in general? I think the genre of funny/creative ones has went away
23:22 what a great interaction. Love the simultaneous snaps and Jake's peak over at Jimmy, just great.
Math........it's hard. "Season 8......JoeZack has won 5, Jake 2, and I've won 1." "How old were you in 1994? 11....10. I was born in 1986."
"There's two new rules. We'll put them in the TH-cam description."
*Insert Confused Travolta gif*
It's the gummy
i was 0 years old in 1994.... thats crazy
Not a math company
@@SadBoysCollectiveCirca96 im right there with yah. i was 1 D:
3:45 The entrance these kids make feels like Ron, Harry, and Hermione
Jake with a great blind read right out the gate with the contestant names: "Ron, Dambrian, and Lindow"
That got such a solid laugh out of me I had to run it back a couple more times just to appreciate it.
Imagine getting Mo to ref in the warehouse. Mike to Mo in 2025
I'd take mo to my house
The bump and dump is crazy
proceeded by the sack attack
Synonymous with the 'hit it and quit it.'
@@loxread I would hate to see what they would call things if it wasn't a kid show
@@briceyoung3639 let's not forget this was a nickelodeon produced program
17:00 bump and dump
Joez coming in with the 3 second delayed, under the breath, “nice” gets a bonus point from me @24:57
ID guy gives the contestant's moms the ole' Pump & Dump and Sack Attack.
@chosuriki not to be that guy.. but I'm pretty sure id guy goes sack attack first, then hits them pump dump
27:17 "that guy bangs their Moms" 😂😂
MilfHunter if they see him again
Pretty sure he's the one that named it the Bump and Dump
Hes gotta be a busy guy on the weekends
Ya he’s definitely hitting the booger sugar between events.
He’s the pioneer of the Sack Attack
Crazy how much i love watching you guys as a Mets fan.
Joez loving the use of the word “conundrum” while Jimmy and Jake talk strategy is the perfect synopsis of these amazing videos
Great energy on the intros of the season premiere!
Always love opening day!
I took off work for this
6:30
Hire Mike O'Malley to play by play Playin' Watchin' Guts. You need to.
I was looking at Mo from the side too, Joez. No shame.
Y’all’s random handshakes and variations always crack me up 😂
"I don't believe in snaps. I believe in claps." Same, Joez. Same.
6:06 ad skip button 11:10 2nd ad button 16:44 bump and dump button
I think Ron had just started playing hockey. Those strides look like someone who is still learning to skate
I clicked so fast! Yay! Love this series! 🥳
Bump and dump 16:42
"The Bump and Dump" at 16:44
"There's two new rules. We'll put them in the TH-cam description."
Doesn't put them in the TH-cam description.
What a time to be alive

We need to spread watching guts to the edges of the internet
Do you have it?
LFG!!!!!!! SEASON 8!!
TEAM JOEZACK
I would contribute a non-insubstantial amount of money to the "hire Mike" fund for the next warehouse games lol
You guys could absolutely get Mike to make a cameo! I would love to see him join you guys for an episode of Playin' Guts! Maybe Mo could join too! You could ask them if they remember this...get the inside scoop on the show and some behind the scenes stuff. That would be so cool!
ahhh a new season of watching guts. LETS GO JOEZACK
25:10 she said "first jump" not "nice jump"
🎶There ain't nothin' wrong with a little bump and duump....🎶
Take your bets! Jimmy to finally finish last this season +850
SOLO last 😂❤
SOLO LAST 😂❤
Jims built his entire organization from the front office to the corn dogs on the premise they will not finish (solo) last. No way that happens.

Hard to beat JR and Donahoooo!
everyone seemed in good spirits here, which was nice
I can feel it. This season is going to be epic! Just as epic as the end of Floorball 3!
We back at it 🤌🏽
26:26 Joez learned what competition is
21:51 Put some thick glasses on her and it’s Anne Hathaway in The Princess Diary
ready for another great season!!
16:49 *Bump and dump.*
That’s what I call doing cocaine on the toilet - otherwise known as, _my every morning routine._
I got so exited when I saw this video
DAR-REN NEE-LY 👏👏 👏👏👏
Joez “Acculator” McFly thanks for the shoutout!
Bump and dump was a violation 😂😂😂
7 days without Guts makes one weak
Sooooo...Bump and Dump?
Mike O'Malley asking about the False Start just speaks to how good he'd be in the Warehouse.
bump and dump, hilarious every time
Darren really looks like a character from Bob's Burgers.
Team Bump 'n Dump
NEW SEASON OF PLAYIN WATCHIN GUTS LETS GO
New season of Guts LETS GOOOOOOOOO!
O'Malley saying Bump and Dump on a kids' competition show on Nickelodeon is crazy.
Out of the gate, they all look like they might be good athletes in 3 years.
19:09 dude tried to kill Darren, doesn't do that for any of the other contestants
7:41 can we get a supercut of all Joezs comments to Mo ?
16:43 Bump And Dump
When Mike asked Darren about the false start, all I could think about was, “Hey, Peter. What’s happening? Listen, we have to talk about your TPS reports. Did you get the memo?
Mike at the warehouse would be awesome
16:50 what a bump and dump :3
Been rooting for team Joezack since the beginning but they no longer feel like the underdogs. TEAM JAKE! Season 8.
Bump and Dump gang where we at
nah bruh.. sack attack gang represent
I just want to go on the record and say that while I have heard rumblings that many will jump from the JoeZack fan club now that they have established themselves as a powerhouse dynasty and begin rooting for Jake because they feel bad for his abysmal season 7… I will not be one of them. TEAM JOEZACK TIL I DIE!
Season 10 should be a “GUTS” remake with Jimmy , Jake and Joez as contestants
Purple had no urgency 😮😮😮
16:44 bump and dump
16:42 Bump and Dump
17:08 dump and pump
A DQ equalling no bonus points feels like a rule specifically to ruin Jake’s seasons
Let’s go JoeZack!
"Sack Attack and the Bump n Dump" is the hottest new funk band. Catch their new single "Intentional Whiff"
I have been counting the second.
Do You Have The Guts!!!!??
Danger Darren is my dad!! He’s 45 now 😂
100% Mike came up with the name Bump and Dump
"We might have to pay him". Yeah that's what you do. You doing this on a volunteer basis Zach?
17:10 Team Bump and Dump here.
You should hire Mike and Mo to record promos for the warehouse games channel
Ron hit a growth spurt, doesn't understand how to control it.
Bump and Dump...9:10 PM EST
Lmao Jake doesn’t even need to see his kid’s feet to know they’re getting a penalty.
Bump and dump!
Joez definitely did some bumping and dumping back in the day
Pay a cameo to Mike to have him announce the season winners
The old Bump and Dump!
Hey, kids! Gather ‘round as it’s time for Playin’ Guts!!!
I always die at actulater😂😂
New season 🤝 that the best (joezack) might win
This is the beginning of season 8. 4 wins for Joezack 2 wins for Jake and 1 win for Jimmy = 7 completed seasons
