I can't believe Bill, we're sitting here going into week number one, the defending two times Super Bowl champs tonight against the Ravens. Three times, three times, two in a row. No, no, I meant like consecutive, but yeah, going for a three in a row this year. We got Jake the Snake here with some reports before we get into our picks, though, we have to bring in Jake the snake from his just undisclosed. I mean, Jake, I mean, he's transitioning to the next the next. He's meeting God. Look, he's backlit. He's looking angelic. What would you do? His hair up for us and everything. Jake was a snake. What would you do

if you just saw a woman silhouette with a ponytail grab her stuff and go see you tomorrow Jake. It was surprised me that there was only one. I would pick one of those low key threesome guys and nobody knows that's that's his thing.

How great would it be if he turned around? He said I said stay another hour. All right. No, I'm not mad. I'm not bad. But just next to sleeping. You what you do is you take it off, take it off it and put a lid on

just let it sit there for a minute. It'll be perfect. Don't start crying. I don't have time. Jake, this thing. What injuries do we have going into week one? We have anything we need to be concerned about?

In the 49ers McCaffreyrey, I just checked this morning, it seems like he's back at practice, so that should be good. And then Jamar Chase has been holding out, but I think he's back at practice too. So I think we're all good to go, honestly. I thought they were gonna bring him. Wasn't he shopping himself around the league? Yeah, I mean, he wanted more money, but I think,

don't we all? But, but yeah, no, that's you just went adult there. But don't we all you didn't criticize them. Hey, we've all been there. This is a more mature Jake the Snake. I like this more forgiving as it as out and just destroy people. As if I know what it's like to want to get $130 million or whatever. You bring on $130 million to personality this podcast. Everybody knows it.

You got the hip factor, dude. You got the hip you're the everyman. The thinking man's everyman. We were missing a piece and now we got it. Okay. That's what we got here. the three headed monster Jake just got real arrogant by the end of the season

He had sunglasses on and he was going these guys don't know what the fuck they're talking I want I want fur coat Jake the snake no shirt underneath it macho man Randy Savage glasses We're gonna we're gonna get into these picks. Who had first pick last year? Paul, listen. The champ goes first. The champ goes first. What are we doing here?

Are we doing a little riff in here or are we just going right to the picks? How does this work? Uh, we did, yeah, well, I mean, listen. I wanna talk to you a little bit, Paul. Paul, you know, I got something I wanna talk. So So our good friend Maureen Tarrin, right? You know, we're already looking at the next Patrice benefit. I swear to God, it comes like these years are just flying by. Yeah. So I'm on the phone with her, right?

She's from Canada, Montreal, right? So she goes to me, she goes, oh, he goes, oh, hey, are you excited for the chief Ravens tonight? And I'm thinking, holy shit, this Montreal Canadian chick finally got into American football. And she goes, Taylor Swift is going to be. And I said, you know what, that's just sad. She goes, why?

I go, she's singing? She goes, no. I go, it's sad because it's just, just the fucking capitalism of it. It's like, aren't you all making money? Like, the game is so far back now, where it's just like, all right, we got all the football fans, how can we just add to the gangbang of money here? How many more fucking layers? I don't give a fuck who somebody's dating and stuff. It's just like, can you leave something there for the football fan? I don't know. I don't know. I'm getting to my just having the game. When I was young, the old guys used to fucking have the game on mute because they thought the announcers talked too much. That was their thing. Now it's's just like if they could see what was going on now. Well, you know what, I realized why you would get pissed last

year with things because you were watching all the games. What I like to do when I said this, I watched the giant game, which is that's definite. And then whatever the TV game is, but I don't look at my games, I just look at the scores. And then it's easy. So I'm living like back What do you tell me you're not going to watch tonight's game against the fucking cheats and Ravens you're not watching. No, of course I am. I pull you're saying two different things there.

Now I don't watch all the games like on Sunday. When the fuck did I say I watch all the games Paul you put more? No, you did. You did you go to Buffalo Wild Wings and you look at all the screens. No. Once it got off DirecTV and it went onto YouTube, it's like, fuck you. You made me stick that fucking thing on the side of my house. And then all these years later, you'll be like,

and you don't need to stick that thing on the side of your house. It's like, you didn't fucking say that 10 years ago. And who's got the capacity to sit there at a Buffalo Wild Wings or a sports bar that has every single game on? I need to lock in here. This is where my money is here. I can't go here and here and fuck it. Then some guy screams and fights amateur hour.

Yeah, and then there's always some whore with their fucking t shirt tied in a knot with the smaller back showing and she's like, Why am I looking at that? I'm married. Yeah, I need to pull. No, then she's outside crying saying he always does this. I hate them. And it's just a mess. What you do is you order wings to the house. You get wings to the fucking

house. And you watch one game. You watch one game. No horse, no meatheads. One screen. Hey, how was it? I was out in California. Bill goes, Hey, you want to come over and watch the Cincinnati Bengals game? Do

we went out there? I went out there. We sat down me and Bill, you know, like a class gentleman like he is we had a charcuterie board which with the Italian meats which is right up my charcuterie charcuterie, charcuterie, which is right up my fucking alley. You give me Italian meats and cheeses in front of an NFL football game with my buddy I haven't seen.. Get over. You know, no gallon easy one. Yeah, we had

chicken parm too. It was easy. Oh my god, you had chicken parm to with a side of pasta. You didn't just do that. You did the side. Oh, yeah, I knew what I was doing. I threw it right right down Broadway,

Paul. Right down. I sat on your couch. You were hanging curveball. You hit it into the seats, dude. I sat on your couch or you were hanging curveball and you hit it into the seats. Dude, I sat on your couch and a tray of salami and cheeses came out and I was like, I could this is eight hours. I could just I could sleep here. So now I'm time. So I'll do it again. I'm making a prediction here. Yeah, talking about this on my podcast. The fucking NFL better be careful these different countries they're going to with their games.

They better be fucking careful because if you're going to have a bunch of meathead NFL fans traveling to parts of the world they are not familiar with, where weed is legal here but maybe not there, somebody's going to get in trouble. They got to be careful. They're gonna come back with STDs, dysentery, like this whole fucking, there's a big difference between being, I live in New York and I'm gonna go to the Seattle Seahawks game

to fly into a different hemisphere. You gotta be careful what you eat, you gotta know the laws. I mean, Paul, I mean, there's places they still got the guillotine, you know? I brought the- Dude, in the Philippines, if you say, dude, I called it,

that's an eight year sentence. People don't know that. No, I'm kidding, but I'm just saying, you gotta be, dude, I wasn't buying, I didn't realize, like, public affection was, you can't do that over there. I think they've relaxed more, but like, thank God I didn't go with my wife. Fucking guy held hands with him, kissed his wife in public.

He got a year in jail. What? Yeah. Uh, hey, then I can't go because I'd be getting hit. Okay. I get a life sentence. Hey, I get the death penalty. What'd I do with that whore? can't go because I'd be getting head okay. I get a life sentence.

I get the death penalty what I do with that whore. No, I'm going to Munich. I went to London. It was great. Jesus Paul, what are you doing? I'm going to Munich. Giants are playing the Panthers. But here's what I noticed when I when I saw the NFL fans in London. They were like, it was just maybe it's because they were just like going up to like Packer fans were going up to giant fans go, hey, congratulations on that win. That was awesome. And like other NFL fans, they were like, that was awesome. So it seemed respectful. I don't know what how Germany will be. I'm hoping them.

What do you guys think about? I'm not saying the games won't be good. I'm just saying know what the fuck you're getting into. Yeah. Because there's no embassy that's going to waste their fucking time trying to get some upper deck Eagles fan out of a jail in the South Pacific. No. You're actually really right about that.

Because the one thing that I didn't like is when we exited the stadium in London after an amazing experience, there were mobs of people, no transportation to get there. It was hard to get home and I was with my family and that did suck. So, you know, I learned from that. Yeah, no, I'm just saying you gotta know the laws.

You gotta know, you know, what you can eat, what you can't eat and just don't bring, if you are a fucking day to day pothead, buy all new clothes and luggage. Cause those fucking people forget where they put weed right and left and you're gonna fucking show up and some dogs gonna come up to your bag and then that's, it's gonna be it.

Because you had to go see the Bengals versus the fucking Jaguars in Bali. Oh, that would suck. Some guy from Wisconsin, he goes, he thinks it's like he's at a Packers game. He's getting a hand job and he's in Asia. They fucking cut his arm off. Oh, first of all, I'm not saying I'm listening. Some guy from Wisconsin, he would be running the prison, bringing that kind of girth.

Those people are in shape over there. No, I'm in Asia. Like fucking like, like Java. Uh, no, I'm gonna fucking like, like Java. Um, all right. So actually Bill went year one. So I do go first this year and you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to do it. I'm going on my first pick.

Oh, this feels so good to be back here. Back in the saddle again. I need you to go for 4-0. You know what? The Chiefs had opening night last year. Lions came in there, and the Lions won the game. And you know what? I think the Ravens are going to go in there and at least cover

or win the game tonight. I think Lamar Jackson, the way that ended in the AFC championship, they didn't like it. Lamar Jackson's got wheels. He's got an arm. They got a good team and a good defense. I could see a little to celebration to little celebration hangover for the Chiefs. I'm going to take Baltimore going in there all business tonight, getting three points. Oh business I like that. Going in there. Oh, you know my feeling on that game is Paul, the Chiefs go in and win. Where's the story? You know, you got 17 games, they got to stretch this shit out, right? The Chief lose, then every talking heads gets to be like, is Taylor Swift a distraction? Was this a hangover? Is it time to hit the panic button? Should Travis Kelce retire and just get a family? Could be. Did he start a production company? All right, I'm starting this year off right.

I'll tell you a game that I fucking love because of the spread I love the Patriots getting eight and a half. Oh that was seven or seven and a half I don't think I like that but I feel like I Believe in the Bengals. I just feel like it's the first game of the year. Everybody's gonna be a little rusty So I don't see like a big score here. We got a new coach, got a new QB. We got a good defense, man. And I like the fact that we got a former player as the coach. I feel like defense always gets better when a former NFL defensive player is the coach.

And eight and a half is just a big fucking number. It's a big number. Everybody thinks the coach and 8.5 is just a big fucking number. It's a big number. Everybody thinks the Pats suck. I'm going to go with the Patriots, getting 8.5 on the road, Paul, with those great ribs out there in Cincinnati. Paul, I'm going to take it serious this year. I like that. I like that.

I'm putting my glasses on here so I can, you got to do this when you got the glasses. Oh, Billy Rothstein. What am got the glasses. Oh Billy Rothstein What am I get? Yeah, Billy Rothstein here? What am I? What am I? I love On they do this they still look down. I don't know why the head is up a little Oh because you need trifocals so like I gotta go like this now. You're clear blurry really blurry But if I want to look down there Paul at my future, yeah, I've gone for no this week, I got to be up here. That's how that works. And then when you get frustrated, you get to do this like, Hey, hey, can you speak when I get the dry cleaning? You got to go like this.

No, I'll do it. I'll do it. Fuck it. Well, the good news is I love so many games this week. And I don't know why, cause it's week one. I'm going to take your confident guy. I'm going to take the Buffalo bills at home given six and a half to the Cardinals. Cardinals are a young team, not ready yet. Buffalo opening day in that place. Josh Allen. I'm going Buffalo to blow them out. Who's he throwing to? Young team not ready yet. Buffalo opening day in that place.

Josh Allen, I'm going Buffalo to blow him out. Stefan Diggs, who's he throwing to? You know, that's a problem, but I still think that they're better than the Cardinals. Did they pick anybody up? Jake, who did they get? I forgot. Nobody, they're gonna roll with their young core

and see what Josh Allen can do. That's pretty much what's gonna happen. But yeah, they didn't they didn't add anybody to their playstakes specifically. All right, I'm gonna... it's my turn? Yeah, your turn. All right, Paul. Glass is back on. I'm gonna jump into what I think is gonna be the most fun game of the week. The Raiders versus the Chargers. Oh! Oh boy. Uh oh, Jake the Snake. The Raiders on the Chargers. Oh! Uh-oh, Jake The Snake.

The Raiders on the road getting three. Jim Harbaugh at the helm. I believe in Jim Harbaugh, but he just got the team. Alright? And I think the Raiders last year, I liked what they were doing with their new coach. It's a road game, but there's all these LA Raider fans are going to be there. I know SoFi loves pumping in the crowd noise. They're getting three, division rivalry.

I'm very excited for this game to watch. I also don't have to watch it on YouTube, but it'll be playing out here. I'm going to go with the Raiders, getting three. I really tortured myself over that because I don't have to watch it on YouTube, but it'll be playing out here. I'm gonna go with the Raiders, getting three. I really tortured myself over that because I don't know why, because the Raiders are such fucking whiny bitches about the tuck rule, and they forget about the roughing the passer

that went their way, and they won the Super Bowl in 77, so it was like a payback. It's like Americans going, hey, France, we fucking saved your ass in World War II. No, we paid you back because of the Civil War you fucking idiot not the Civil War the uh Revolutionary Revolutionary thank you they helped us then we paid them back. Um or was it the War of 1812? I don't remember um so I'm gonna go with

the Raiders getting three I think that's gonna be a great fucking game. Paul it might have even been the French and Indian War. Spanish American? Paul, I got one for you. Paul, where was the Spanish American War? Where was that fought? In France. I think you at least would guess Spain.

I was gonna guess Spain, but then your look was like, where was it fought? It was fought in the South Pacific. Oh, okay. Well, dude, you got me, listen. I had no idea. I haven't looked that up in a while. It was there, and I think one other place,

like Grenada or something, I can't remember. Oh, I'm thinking of the French, I'm thinking of the... The French and Indian War. I'm thinking of the French and Indian War. That was in Cleveland. That's why they named the baseball fan the Indians. That's how much we don't like the French. Dude, only you could get to the Revolutionary War

from picking the Raiders. It's unbelievable. It's called the weave. People think I'm rambling. I'm not rambling. I can go for it. I have a lot of English professional professor friends. And they hear me when I do this.

And they go, this is my favorite thing he said, he goes and they were like, it's the greatest thing I've ever seen and he says it like they're taking him to the galaxy. How about when he said without mispronouncing a word. This is the thing, I don't pay attention to politics but when he does a set, I got to see it, right? And it's like, all right, in his speeches, I know exactly what the left said about him because he has to answer everything that they fucking say, like a seventh grader. No, he can't let it go, it's hilarious.

It's like a set, he's gonna, he goes, not to get political at all, but what I said, he goes, you know, they said she's got a lot going for her. She's a very beautiful woman. He goes, yes, me goes, I'm better looking. All right. You know what?

I like that Raiders pick because I think Devontae Adams and the Raiders and listen, Jake, the snake, I'm sorry, but I think hard Bob may take a little bit of a plus you get in three points. I like that pick. Now the Green Bay Eagles game is a tough. Oh, it's a rough. Yeah. I forget everybody's name. I like that quarterback Green Bay has Jordan love. Yeah. You know, I don't know, man. That's in Brazil. I think the Eagles start the Eagles always seem to start fast. That's in Brazil. Yeah, that's the Brazil game. So I wanted

to ask you know know my fucking trouble. You can get the amount of married men that are going to be coming back with next level gonorrhea. Oh dude, Saquon Barkley is just going to be passed out on a beach with a fucking mojito spilled next to him crying. They really, I'm telling you, there's going to be a 30 for 30 group of knuckleheads.

Dude, like, what is it with the Brazilian, you. There's gonna be a 30 for 30. Group of knuckleheads. Dude, like, what is it with the Brazilian? Like, they said, like, because like people do Brazilian shit, he'll get a Brazilian butt lift. What is it just natural down there to have an ass that's high? Oh, no, what? What? Can you get out of Boars head fucking Westchester County? What do you mean? You don't know what Brazilians look like? They're like the most beautiful women in

the fucking world. That's right. Now Paul just said that's what I just said. Well, you just said what do they have like high butts? No, I didn't. In America, they try to make the women look Brazilian because they're and I said, what do they have? How

great is that? What do they do down there to make their look so good? That's what I was saying. All right. Well they're gorgeous fucking people. This is what this is a fascinating thing that I was sick. You know, the Nazis after World War Two, we're back to Warspaw, when they fled after the fucking bullshit they did, they weren't man enough to take their fucking punishment after they killed kids and all of that those pieces of shit I can't imagine when they fled to Brazil and they had that whole idea that like blonde hair blue eyes This is the pinnacle of

Fucking human genetics like were they still able to hold on to that? Looking at those fucking smoking hot chicks down there. Smoking hot. They must have somewhere in their head. And then you'd picture what Hitler looked like looking at those fucking curvy beauties walking down the fucking beach and going like, we were going to get rid of this. Like what the fuck and fuck? Okay, haven't said that. And I got it too much. Be careful.

It's all players to stay in their hotel room. Formula One goes down there. Formula One went down there one year and they got robbed. And Lewis Hamilton's like, they got to do something about this He goes this fucking happens every year

All right, what do I have I have two pics I'm not shitting on Brazil either Like I I never went to Brazil because I want to stay married All right, I got the Bills and the Ravens you know what I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna take my New York football Giants because it's almost a pick them Because the Vikings quarterback is out Right. JJ McCarthy is out now. They got now they got Sam Darnold Yep, Sam Darnold on the road Giants defensive line really really good good. Got a whole like a

quarterback who has darn in his last name. Just negative. Wait, they have the Jets former quarterback has a starting thing. It's somebody for the Vikings. It was the Jets old but yeah, from like years ago. You know,

and even if it was JJ McCarthy, that's a gosh, Donald, I think I think what's it called? I think Dexter Lawrence and them are going to be too good up front. The defensive line is too good up front for a backup quarterback. I'm taking

the Giants getting one and a half at home. I just think the defensive lines better. I just think the defensive line is better. I mean, it is. I just like, I just love, dude, you're a real sports fan, dude. You just fucking you love the Giants. You love the Dicks, you are fucking right. I feel like you literally feel you're disrespectful if you don't bet on your Giants at least 80% of the weeks. No, I do it. I looked last year.

It's like 35, 40%. Oh, is it? I thought it was higher than that. Because I'm a huge Pats fan, but even like the last few years, I got to be like, yeah, man, they ain't covered that. But if I was you, I'd be like, no, they're turning a corner? They got some guys? All right, so who do I got next here?

Oh, I had the Ravens down. You already took them. All right, so this game is torturing me. I love Aaron Rodgers. He's on the fucking Jets. He's getting four, but they're in San Francisco. Oh, man, that's the perfect number. If it was three, I take the 49ers. You know what? Well, I'm just gonna have fun who knows the first fucking week What is Aaron Rodgers like better Paul then going into somebody else's fucking venue nothing breaking their goddamn heart He didn't get to play last year He's pretty fucking rested. I would think I'm gonna take the Jets getting four at some point Paul

I mean they haven't won anything since we fucking landed on the moon. At some point they have to turn this around. And then I'm kind of also hoping that there's going to be a nice. You know, Jets bills thing going, which I wanted last year and who knows? Maybe the paths. Well, I'm no, well, you know me, I'm notoriously bad in September. I come alive in late October last year. I was seven games back after September,

so it's early. Have fun. That's how I'm looking at it. Well, they call you backstretch Pauly. Yeah. Let go of the reins. That horse starts fucking running. Yeah. Listen, the jockey can't break me too early. All right, man. I was going to take Cincinnati over the patch, but that eight and a half scares me. I don't want to go head to head with you week one. Why not? Because I just the number is you know, you scared me off of it.

I mean, Paul, I'm not smart. Here we go. What are we going to do here? You know what? Hey, the Rams still have the same head coach that he'll move or is he still there? No, he's still there. He's still there. All right He's still there. Oh man, the Titans and Bears is a is a fun one Rams Lions, what a perfect spread three and a half. Yeah, perfect. It is it's such a great number

neutralizes you. And I hate the Buccaneers half point because I think that's a three point game. I hate the fucking half point. Hey Paul, where's the love? There's a lot of hate from you this year. You know what I'm going to do? What are you going to do Paul? I'm going to take, I don't like the half point but I'm going to roll with them.

I'm going to take the Miami Dolphins opening up at home. You know, they kind of have that world beater at the beginning of the year and then phase off. I don't know. I'm going to do that. We lost Bill? Yeah, what happened? I don't know. Oh, there he is. Was that the one? There you go. All right, he's back. He's back everybody. You know, yeah, I'm going to take, I'm going to take the Dolphins minus three and a half. I think they could win that game by six. I'll take the Dolphins at home. I do like the Jaguars, but I think the Dolphins have a lot.

So did you take the Eagles? No, you stayed away from that game. I stayed away Well, I'm gonna tell you you know what I stay away from that I don't know anything about and it might as well be a different sport is the NFC South Yeah, I don't know what goes on with the Buccaneers the Panthers the Saints. It's like it's all league It's like it's all league like it's that yeah, and you have no fucking idea who's gonna do what every goddamn week So that Saints game can take a walk Let me see what do I like I don't like anything else your cousins Kirk cousins is a Falcon now

Yeah, whoever his agent Russell and Russell, and Russell Wilson is a stealer now. Oh, I know. He's trying to get his social media presence going. All right, you know what I'm going to do, Paul, just because the game will be on over here. I'm going to bet that Lions Rams game, you know, that was a hell of a way to lose a playoff game last year. I think they're on their way up. I don't think the Rams are on their way down. Rams are a very talented team. Three and a half, you motherfucker. I gotta go. I just

love love a former player coach. I just do. You're taking the Lions. I'm taking the Lions three and a half. Why not Paul? Why not? Listen, that's a great pick, man. I love your picks. I love my picks. I love all I love all the picks this week. I know Jake, Jake, the snake likes a lot of the picks. But obviously, he doesn't like to charge his pick. But it's all right, Jake, look, perfect number, you can it's probably gonna be a three point

game either way. That's usually how it goes with this. You want to know what I think this week to I think tonight's game which is opening and then Monday night which is the last game are the two are the two to watch. Yeah, which Aaron Rogers dude, God forbid anything happens but if he's healthy dude, that's gonna be a doozy. This is what I'm watching. I'm watching these are the games I'm watching because I'm not getting that fucking package

I might just pay each week to watch the past game, but I'm getting I'm watching the game tonight. I'm watching Monday night, and I am all over that Raiders charges game. Hey Paul We got to do this Paul. What's your game of the week? Oh You can't pick you can't pick your own team unless it really is. Like if Jake the Snake says Chargers Raiders, I can see that. I can see that. But what is your game of the week? If I'm all right, that's a great question. No, it definitely wouldn't be my team. I think the game of the week here has to be, oh my God, I mean, Jets Niners is definitely a candidate for it, I think.

Yep, that's why I'm leaning towards that. And I gotta say though, I gotta say, there's two others. It's Rams-Lyons, and I also think Eagles-Green Bay, but since it's in Brazil, I wouldn't do that. But you know, I don't want to talk about anybody's personal life, but I kind of found out something about the Eagles that something personal happened to one of the receivers. Hey, we don't do that here. No, no, no, I'm just saying. And then, you know, they, you know, no team goes 10 and one and then collapses like they did. You know, that's a weird thing. And now they're

playing in Brazil against a really up and coming Green Bay team. So that could be game one and then collapses like they did. You know, that's a weird thing. And now they're playing in Brazil against a really up and coming Green Bay team. So that could be game of the week, but gun to my head game of the week is Jets Niners. Yeah, I gotta say there's actually a lot of great games. Raven's Chiefs is amazing. You are we already mentioned Graham. I actually think Cowboys Browns, that's a game too. I was. But he hit these teams hard Cowboys Browns. Earlier you said the Falcons like you are fucking Paul Verzi is amped up here.

I'm ready. We might just be old guys that we like, Jets 49ers. I love 49ers coming off that brutal fucking loss in the Super Bowl, seeing what they're doing. I just think there's two great storylines there. Are the 49ers, 49ers are kind of like the Lions, where both of them just had two fucking brutal ones to end their season.

So I like those storylines, but just for me as an old guy, an old dad, fucking back hurt and everything, I got a ride with Aaron Rodgers man. I just want, I so want him to have that season that everyone wants him to have and I got to do it. If he fucking leads the Jets, I mean just, I mean you want to, there's nothing funnier than seeing a man cry and the level of Jets, men in the crowd of the Jets, even though I know you're a Giants fan and they're in our division, you know, we don't like them

and everything, but like just to see the tears of joy, the on crack betting tears coming down all those Artie Lang faces would just be, it would just be tremendous to see. You know, I didn't get a chance to tell you this because we were off the show for a while, but when I took Lucas to game seven of the Knicks, which would have went to the Eastern Conference Finals, but that's when everybody got hurt and Jalen Brunson broke his hand.

And Lucas collapsed and the paramedics had to come and the whole shit was crazy, dude. And then he gets up because he was Dehydrated and he feels better and he's sitting there said Lucas collapsed. Yeah, my son collapsed he Lucas yeah, we were at the garden and We're eating at Nick and Steph's the restaurant down there and he's just I look at him and my son's lips are like purple And he's pale and then he took a sip of water and his lips got color again. So me and my my buddy, the other kid's dad was like, we'll keep an eye on it. So all of a sudden he's like, I don't feel so good. So we come to go to the bathroom

at the garden. And we're about to go to our seats, we got the passes down on the court, you know, because of my hookup, it was great. And he's just kind of sitting there and I'm going. So anyway, my son comes out of the bathroom and he's wobbling with all these people around. And he like collapses in my arm, he's just kind of sitting there and I'm going so anyway, my son comes out of the bathroom and he's wobbling with all these people around and he like collapses in my arm. He's pale. He's burning up and he's soaking wet. And so all of a sudden a lady goes goes have him sit down. Long story short, my son was there was textbook dehydration. He had to have like

candy sugar. They came they took his vitals and this is 45 minutes before game 7 of the Knicks And I said buddy do we got to go home and he was like, I don't know we might I'm going to the fucking game We got to get my son and over. Yeah, I mean it's game 7. So you have to say to your wife. It was game 7 Yeah I had a guy just misses anniversary dinner for fantasy football anyways. So you know, he said, he goes, babe, he goes,

he goes, you made reservations four days ago, I had this plan for weeks and weeks. And he goes, if I make money, if we win, we'll go to a lot of dinners. That's what he says. Fucking hilarious. Anyway. Hey, he's right. He's right.

Right. So right. And they're always looking for a reason to get mad at you anyway. So who gives a fuck? It wasn't that to be something else? Yeah. Or do you draft? So paramedics tell my son, he's okay. And then the paramedic guy looks at me and he goes, he goes, Listen, if he drinks some water, he goes, he'll be all right to sit down. I go, buddy, you could just sit the beginning of the game. And Lucas is like, Yes. And I'm like, all right, gamer, right. So anyway, OJN and OB comes out of the game, Jalen Brunson breaks his hand, but all of a sudden, we go on a run and we cut it to seven. And I'm like, all right, gamer, right? So anyway, OGN and OB comes out of the game. Jalen Brunson breaks his hand, but all of a sudden we go on a run and we cut it to seven and I'm like, if we fucking go to the Eastern conference finals, I was like, even we don't win if we could fucking pull this off and dude Lucas is sitting there and the place is going nuts. And I actually, you know how I always said, how could a grown man get emotional?

I felt how I mean, I obviously didn't. I felt how if we won, I would burst out in tears. I actually felt you got misty. I felt that I could erupt in tears if they did it, even though I didn't and they did. Because I remember I see that one I sent you on Instagram. No, dude, that guy was a puppy. His other dog must have died. And he must have been grieving and then they went out because I don't know what the backstory was. They gave this and

he's like a man's man behind a truck. He look he just looks like he knows how to fix shit. You know, his daughter though. You see his daughter look at him. That was fun. When his daughter saw him shut it off. I was laughing so hard. I had shut it off. I just dude, his four year old five year old daughter at first smiled. And then when he broke down, she kind of gave the look of like, should this be happening? You can't do that in front of your daughter, dude. Yeah, next time

there's a fucking tornado. She's getting how scared she's gonna be the house is on fire. He's like, I got it. She's like, do you? You got it? puppiesuppies make you cry. You fucking pussy. Mommy, you need to get the. Mom, you get the gun. But anyway, yeah, I could see the Jets fans crying, but I don't know, dude. I just think Aaron Rogers, he does have that thing. You nailed it. He's got that thing. He likes to go in and silence. He loves he's like that. He's good, dude. It's gonna be a good one. Oh, Monday night's gonna be a good one. And tonight,

Monday night special parlay. Here we go. We got a Monday bill you got to sing it. We're back. Oh, let the Monday night special win some money for you. Let the Monday night special win some fucking money for you. Let's they do this year, Paul? They changing more rules so we can't fucking win? Let's get one this year. We got Jets plus four in San Francisco. What's the under over, Andrew?

My guess is like 47 and a half. I bet it's 44. That's what I'm saying. 44, wow. Is that what it is? Yep. No, it isn't. Hey, what do I, it's 44. I was- Hey, Billy Rothstein.

Holy shit. That's Carl. That was really- You know what? All I thought was what is the perfect counting number? 47, you're taking the under. I said 47 and a half. 41, you're taking the over. 44 47 you take in the under I said over 44 you got to be like I'm wondering though if uh if McCaffrey hey do we know is that is that a knee

because dude that's a big part like is that a knee or is it a shoulder what what is it do you know prostate prostate prostate they pat him on the ass too many times he scored so many touchdowns it swole up his prostate. So that's a big injury though, dude. I don't like that. I don't like that. See? Yeah, that made me go jets even more. I think plus four is a good

number. I know Bill picked it earlier. I like that number. I like the jet Bill, what do you say you want to go jets and over? I mean, you look at these two teams, you think it's going to go over. But I think the 49ers have a great fucking defense.

I think a lot of people are going to go over. I kind of like the under. I don't know, Paul, I didn't do well last year. You wouldn't know it looking at me with my granny glasses. I'm not that good at picking this shit. Bill Burr loves an under. If I've ever met a guy. I mean, Paul, I mean, that's just, it just is my personality.

Hey, dial it down. And you're the over guy. You get in the ass, drinks all around. That's why this show works, baby. Paul is an over guy. All right, let's do this. Let's do Jets. You want to do Jets and Rogers to throw two?

To throw two. Because that makes our odds better for money. Dude, he's definitely throwing one. I mean, he's definitely throwing one. I mean, that's a... Yeah, definitely throwing to throw one. Definitely throwing one. All right, Paul, let's start with...

Let's fucking, let's go nuts. Let's start the season a little. Let's go two. Let's let the headlines be Aaron Rodgers back. Is Bosse's healthy? Bosse's healthy. Who do they got on that side to try to do something against them? Dude, he's got I mean, I hate to say this as a Giants fan, the Jets are fucking stacked, dude. They got Garrett Wilson at wide receiver. They got a really good defense. They got one of the best cornerbacks in the league. Aaron Rodgers is healthy, dude. I like the Jets in this game, I think, especially if McCaffrey's calf hurts. Paul, like how many, how many fucking centuries are going to go by before they fucking turn it around here? It's got to happen. And they

only got a year with Rogers, dude He's 41 years old coming off that injury Yeah, and I really think he wants this I still think he wants to stick it to the Packers hey Andrew Can we get a stat here? What's the oldest quarterback to ever start a game? What's the oldest age to ever start a game NFL game Steve DeBurke? I'm gonna test the birdie I'm gonna say it's tested already FBurke. I'm going to say it's test of 40 Flanda 43. I think Vinnie tested for the jets at 43. Shit, Tom Brady. He just looks so pretty. You didn't think he was old. Yeah. George Blanda 48 years old. Oh my god. Good call. 48 crazy.

And he looked like he was. Pull up a picture of George Blanda. Do you hear what I said? I go I still got a shot. Are you saying I got a shot? Dude, Tommy DeVito was out there. Taking a snap at 48 years old in the NFL is wild, man. What years was that? What was a picture of him? Oh, yeah, working on it. Bill, what decade was that? He played the 50s, 60s until about 70, 71.

And then he had one point. He was the all time scorer because he was also the field goal kicker. So he was throwing for touchdowns and kicking field goals. Oh Paul, he was fucking, he was splitting aces. What team? What was his team that he was with the most? There it is. Oh my God, go to the fourth one to the right. On the top.

No, no, yeah that one. Yeah, yeah. No, no. Yeah, that one. Yeah. Oh my god. There's another good get the one with Pete Roselle where he looks older than the commissioner. Dude, he looks like the suit right there. Look at that. Oh, my God. Pete Roselle should be

wearing a uniform there. Dude, that's the greatest commissioner there ever was. He looks like an uncle that one like a fantasy camp thing for Christmas. And they said you get to put on the pads and everything.

Old timers. Look at him kicking the ball, too. Or Plunkett's number or Plunkett wore his number. Look at that. Wow. Straight on kicker Paul. Oh, Diana 83, rest his soul.

Old the old school. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, all right. Well, there you go. 48 years old. Dude, Brady wasn't even beaten out if he stayed two more years. Three more years.

Well, the thing is, he stopped. Did he? That picture is so funny. He basically, he kept. He stopped playing quarterback when he was kicking field goals for like the last, I don't know how many years. Kind of like, who were those two brothers that kicked field goals forever? And then I think what happened was like, they had Jake Lamonica or something like that.

That guy went down, so maybe he had to start a game. No, Gramatica. Jake Lamonica, you're thinking of the bull, the fucking, the boxer. The Nero, yeah. Jake Lamarca, you're thinking of the bull, the fucking, uh, the, Oh, the boxer. The Nero. Yeah. Uh, all the grammatica brothers. Yeah.

Um, all right. So we'll do that then Andrew. Anderson, the Anderson, Morton Anderson kicked field goes forever. Yeah, he did. He did. Um, and then Gary Anderson too. And he missed one when the Vikings were 15 and one on Randy Moss says, I believe rookie year, they missed the playoffs because of it the only one he

missed made them lose the playoffs that year all right we got Aaron Rodgers throwing. Gary's glad you brought that one up all the ones he hit you got to bring that one up. No no I'm just saying I remember because it was only Jersey I ever wore was Moss. I'm just saying you know go easy on Gary. Weird guy to stick up for. He cost a lot of people money, Gary. Oh, dude, we should do that. The top three field goal kickers in the NFL that had to go into the witness protection program. Oh my God.

The Buffalo Bills one. Scott Norwood, man. Yeah, that's one of the most overrated misses of all fucking time. Yeah, it was, yeah, it was like, it was a 48. It wasn't a fucking chip shot. He had the leg. It just fucking missed. And then also the Giants just had a better, they got out coached. It wasn't him.

They got out fucking coached. Yeah. Um, all right. We got Jets. Go ahead. We got Jets plus four, Aaron Rodgers to throw two. And then should we get a little crazy on week one and throw in the under? Or do

you want to or do you want to leave? Well, I mean, that's pretty wild to say he's gonna throw two and it's gonna go under. But now just have a good defense. Whatever. I'll do it. Let's do it. Fuck it.

You know what you said under so if we changed it, I would hate it if we lost. So we'll just stick with. Fuck it. You know what you said under so if we changed it, I would hate it if we lost. So we'll just stick with that. Roger. That was before you said two touchdowns by Aaron Rodgers. It's okay. He could still throw two and only get 17 points in the game. Roger should throw fucking two behind his back. Even at 41. All right. You want to go over?

You're talking me out of this now. No, I'm just talking shit. Okay. That's all I'm doing. What do you think? Really? Jake, what do you think? Under or over?

What do you think, Jake? I'm not great with totals, I'm not going to lie, but I would lean under because these teams have good defenses. All right, look, two on the show say under. Let's go. We'll go under and he's going to throw two because the Jets are going to win the game. All right. And the Jets get four.

There you go. Oh, look at that. Look at this kids. Look, guys, we've stepped up our game this year. I mean, the illustrations are coming out on time. I mean, ESPN got nothing on us. All right. That's someone.

ESPN is going to be showing women's softball. Aaron Rodgers to throw to touchdowns jets to jets getting for covering and under 44 for the Monday night special Those are my picks. Those are bills picks We are also gonna do something different this year where Jake the snake and Andrew semis will have their picks They're not going against us. They're just gonna be there for the show so you could see what they're picking. And there you go. They're the brains behind the show. Paul, let's be honest with a pretty face. Hey, listen, you know what, I got three in a row. Give me some credit.

I don't want what Andrew, what do you got? You don't lose either. No, he crushed. No, I had I had I had a very crazy year last year. It was it was not I don't know. Not not gonna do it again. But I went 4420 and five. It's huge. It's insane. Yeah, we got it. We got to put you in. We got to put you Yeah, you know, I'll make Jake and I'll

make pics and then I'll post them. I'll put them in the description. All right. That's gonna you know, Paul, that's gonna be the end of the show when they fucking do twice as good as we do. How lucky is Ben MGM having

this show? Oh, next week. Next week, I'll share some props if we have time. I don't think Ben MGM is gonna feel lucky if people start going 4024 and seven or whatever the hell he did.

As a fluke. That's a real fluke. That's a real fluke. And I didn't even bet those games. I bet like I do like parlays. I do like prop bets and stuff first touchdown. I always doing like an eight game, eight game parlay and misses it by one by one. I know. Several of those shit. All right. Enjoy the game tonight.

Go Ravens. That's the first one. Polly. So great. So great to be back with you gentlemen. So great to be back picking football games. We got football tonight. We got it. I mean, we're back. Paul, what are you drinking and eating tonight for this game? What are you gonna drink?

What are you gonna eat? I don't know, man. I'm gonna go light. I might go a little salmon on a Caesar. Nice. You know, it's week one. Paul, you know how you don't like corn and peas? Yeah.

You know what my shit is? I don't like fucking salmon. You don't like salmon? I mean, I don't love it. You can't go fuck itself. Yeah. You know, like, you know, my shit is I don't like fucking salmon. You don't like salmon. I mean, I don't love it. Fuck itself. Yeah. Full of plastic from the ocean and then that manmade shit is just horrendous. All right. I'm going to go to Caesar tonight. I want to go chicken tonight then instead. You got to get up for corn for August corn in the car. Butter, salt and pepper. You don't like that, you're out of your fucking mind. I'll tell you what else is in season right now, Paul. Sweet potatoes. Oh, sweet potatoes. Good. Love a sweet potato. I had a sweet potato with a pork chop and a salad the other night right after a workout. I'm bulking up for the season, Paul, you know,

just in case I get the call. Dude, fucking changed my life. That's awesome. Changed my fucking life. Oh my God, I'm getting hungry. All right, Paul, death row, death row meal. Oh, death row meal? You're going to the chair. Yeah, it would be.

Yeah, it would be a veal cutlet parmesan with the side of penne with a little spice in it. And it would be grated cheese on the side. And I would get a bottle of Jordan, a red. I would get a bottle of- You think they're gonna get that for you? No, I would get it. They're gonna get that for you?

I would get a bottle of red Jordan. Jordan Cabernet. 2018. Off the top of your head. I feel like question. This is amazing. Oh, and then I would get a rainbow cookie cake and I would get a coffee. A rainbow trying to cheer trying to cheer yourself up. You know the rainbow cookies? You know, right? Yeah, I have kids. I am aware of the rainbow cookies. No, the Italian rainbow cookies.

Italian ones. The champagne cookies can fucking take a walk Paul. No, but the soft one and they make a cake out of it. The champagne cookies. Yeah, the champagne cookies. You get them at the same time. The dry ass cookies the Italians make. No, no, no. This is like a wet moist but they make it a cake now. And then I would go just you know, coffee. And that's it. You think you're gonna have time to just sip a coffee after that? Paul, you're 100%

they actually you have to understand. They give you the courses and you get that moment dude. I don't know what I would have, but I am definitely ending with an affogato. That's what it ends with. I think it starts with, I'd go a little mozzarella sticks,

my favorite appetizer of all time. Nice. I don't know, I might do two mains. One Northern Europe, one, Paul, you didn't go sushi too, that's surprising, but you know, you gotta go with your roots there. Oh, dude. So I think I would go, I would have,

I'm gonna totally German-Irish this thing. Then I think I would go roast beef with mashed potatoes and stewed carrots with gravy. Oh God. Oh dude. The level that I would shit myself when I started electrocuting. Let them clean that up. That's my fuck you to them. I want them looking nervous. Is there watching me eat? Then I would have guys like, dude, you might want to get another mop, get a bucket. I want them looking nervous as they're watching me eat. Then I would have

guys like dude, you might want to get another mop get a bucket. I have a fucking half of half a chicken burrito. Just half. Just half. I'm not even I mean, I don't want to be bloated when they show they showed a list of what all the serial killers had. And a couple of them went like I want a pizza and a sandwich of them went like, I want a pizza and a sandwich and then like, the guy that blew up the building in OKC wanted an apple. Another guy wanted a pint of ice cream. He got a pint of mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Okay, then there was another guy who got an apple. Then there was the other ice cream guy. Now you gotta go, I would just, you know, go nice and, you know, I'd be talking shit during it. Ah, it's all good. Yeah, do put your fucking ovary. Why you don't want me walking down like, ah, because then they think you're nervous. No, I don't care.

You're killing me. I just, I just, I should have done the burrito. I just fucking farting his ass off on the way down. All right. Last real quick one. You can only get fast food. Oh God. That's a great one. Oh

shit, um Ah God, I'm either going I might do Wendy's dude. I might do I'm either doing what oh god, but I love the chicken I would eat or or it wouldn't be KFC because chick-fil-a took out calves I would probably be either chick-fil-A or Wendy's. I'm fucking McDonald's all day long. Two quarter-finers with cheese, a large fry, chocolate, strawberry shake. I don't know where I would go. I would definitely get a shake and then I got a couple of fucking cheeseburgers on the side. Throw them down.
