Please bet responsibly guys Bill and I I believe Bill and I both went two and two. I think our other guys on the show did well, but I went two and two. Good pick by the way, Bill with great, the, the pick you had of the week was the Ravens against the Chargers. That was a good one. And of course we don't hit the Monday night special because everything else happened except Justin Herbert decides to run it in for a touchdown

instead of throw one, but we almost had it. We almost had it. Oh, Paul, I don't recognize the game anymore. I was texting you about it. I guess the game has passed me by. It passes by an athlete and after a while it passes by you as a fan and you either have to win. I should have started playing fantasy football when it came out and I didn't. I got left behind. Same with like computers. I didn't think these things were going to take over the way they did. I should have got acclimated to them and I didn't. I'm just hopelessly behind. But I watched that Chiefs game, Paul. The whole game. I lost that one. That was my loss. Well, the whole game, quarterbacks are running and sliding and going out of bounds, right?

So, like, the defense pulls up when they get near a quarterback. So, you should be required that if a defensive player is near you as a quarterback, you should have to automatically slide or go out of bounds, because Patrick O'Han ran up, the D-backs pulled up, and he just ran past them. And instead of getting like 10, 12 yards, he got 33 yards like he was fucking Emmett Smith. It's ridiculous. And they're all like, I can't hit him again.

Oh shit. He's going like, like, I don't want to start nothing, but like, that's the kind of shit. If you did that, the next time you ran, you split or not, you got your fucking head taken off. Yeah. It just doesn't happen anymore, Paul. What do you think is gonna happen when Belichick comes back? I wonder if that's a guy where the game will pass him by, or

if he's so ingrained in it that he'll be able to adjust. Well, I mean, he's watching it every week as an analyst. He's also the greatest coach since Paul Brown. He's watching it every week as an analyst. He's also the greatest coach since Paul Brown. The more time away, the more I would say that that would happen. But he doesn't have to go out and play. And I don't feel like the game passed him by with the Patriots.

What I think is like, you know, picking the players, he hit like a dry spot. After fucking 20 years of crushing it, it finally, you know, it finally caught up to him where, well, I mean, also Brady left. I mean, you don't win by yourself. You gotta have the players, you gotta have the coach, you gotta have the GM, you gotta have the ownership.

That's what we had. And once one of those pieces goes away, you know, which happened before Tom Brady left, Tom Brady, his last season was not a good season for the Patriots. He had nobody to throw to. I believe Amandola was the last of our productive receivers to leave. And, you know, all through the years as the Troy Browns left, the West Welkers came in, the Julian Edmonds, the Grongs, all of that stuff, they just kept coming. And it finally dried up.

It's still the greatest run I've ever seen. So I think if he is picky, if he goes to a shit team, it's gonna look like the same his same results. I feel like his last couple seasons with like Matt Jones, I feel it'll be like that. But I feel if he goes to the charges with like what they have and stuff like that with, you know, Herbert, you know, decent defense and some great receivers down there, you know, the little I know about football. Now I think, you know, I don't know, what's the reason for coming back just so we can pass Shula? I mean, he says he, he says he still loves it and he wants to come back. But the thing with him is like, he simplified the Giants problems in one interview with the Mannings and it was just so

He was like, you know in his typical way he talks he was like, well, you know, they got rid of their work What the Ravens the Ravens before the play even happened? He goes that's an illegal formation and they're ready for a touchdown and he goes that's the problem with this This has been their problem all year. He's watching it at that level. What happened was the tight end lined up on one side. I've never understood. I get a legal motion. I don't get a legal formation. He ran down the other side. So that made that other, now that he was off that side, that made the lineman eligible and he didn't check in. So it became an ineligible or something like he went by it super fast. And I mean, Paul, who am I?

I can't keep up with fellow checks. Well, he no, but he just said he said what the GM he goes, you know, they let their best player go for not a lot of money and they needed to do this with the line. And it just seemed like he's like still in tune with what's going on. So I'd be curious to see what he does. But no offense, you'd have to be brain damaged to not know that the Giants made a mistake getting rid of Saquon Barkley. I mean, for the I mean, the price to like the money wasn't

even it's sickening. And now I gotta tell you, I don't think anybody loved that guy. Other than your GM who drafted him. Anybody loved him more than you. It's sickening. It's, it's heartbreaking. Paul, you know, you're eating egg noodles with ketchup out there. That's why I want to see you, dude. I want to see you the final episode of Anything Better. I want to see you. You've got to come out, dude, in the bathrobe, get in the paper. Neither one of us can do Bed Head anymore. You know what I mean.

Yeah, yeah. Just have Andrew play the music. Okay. Well, let's get in the picks. Bill, you have first, I believe you have first pick this week. Paul, you know what? I'm feeling very, very thankful and very giving this week. If you want to fucking go first, I don't give a shit. I haven't even looked at these.

Meaning I literally have not. All right. I'm't give a shit. I haven't even looked at these. Meaning I literally have not. All right, I'm gonna take let's see Colts coming off a big loss going against the Patriots minus two and a half Colts laying two and a half Paul laying two and a half. Fuck it. You know, Paul, I'm gonna put my dick on the table first one I'm gonna take the Lions laying 10 at home against the fucking Bears. It's a divisional rivalry. This goes against everything I've known as a gambler that division rivalry games are always close. I think the bears are

where the bears usually are at this point. You know, they're not playing well. They're pointing fingers. I think they have a disgruntled, uh, locker room. There's like not a lot of pretty women in Chicago for them to take their minds off the stress of playing football. You know, you got those big Western girls eating brats and shit. I just think, you know, a lot of their players are just feeling despair. It's nine and a half now. Christmas comes early. I'll take the Lions lay in nine and a half now. That was better. Paul, look at that. Christmas comes early. I'll take the Lions lay in nine and a half, Paul.

I like it. In the black and blue division. I like it. Is that the black and blue division or is that the AFC Central? I don't know. I never heard of that before. Hey, Paul, I'm not a cop. You can fucking tell me what you're thinking. All right. I have no me what you're thinking. All right.

I have no idea what you're talking about. My first pick, I'm gonna take the Washington commanders at home to bounce back against the hapless Titans minus six at home. I just think that they're a better team. They need a bounce back win. And I think this is where they get it. All right, the Seahawks, I think they got kicked in their beak last week. They're laying two going

into the Jets plus two. I like them on the road. Coming in, you know, ruining the holidays for all those sad sack jet fans. You know what I mean? Does anybody need a hug more than a Jets match fan? those sad sack jet fans, you know what I mean? Does anybody need a hug more than a jet smacks fan? A long, slow, I'm sorry. You can't even say it's gonna be all right. All you can say is I'm sorry. Yeah, all right, yeah, all right is out the door. All right, I got one for you.

Hey, lay it on me, Paul. I like the attitude. I'm gonna take the Chargers bouncing back. Bouncing back after getting really beaten up. The older Harbaugh brother is 3-0 against Jim. I think Jim's had it this week. I think they go in, and I think they go into Atlanta, and I think they beat the Falcons.

I like them minus 2. Oh, they beat the Falcons. I like them minus two. Oh, give me that one point. I love I'm all over that. You know what I like Paul? I like the little shrug before you take the charges. I like that. You like the glasses dropped to look at the like I'm liking everything that you're doing. It's very cinematic. If I was in the mob, I'm like, there's no way this guy isn't wearing a wire. Look how big that fucking Cody's. What's he hiding under there? All right. Hey, Paul, I'm Billy Fabitz this week. I'm Billy Faye. Oh yeah. You know that that's a recipe for disaster. I just like Baker Mayfield and I like that fucking,

Colin Cowherd, you know, still not giving it up for him. Is he giving it up for him yet that this guy's a fucking winner? No. Oh, that's, you know, Paul, he's gotta do it at some point. He's gotta do it at some point or you lose your man card. That's literally female behavior to do that. You gotta say you're fucking

wrong. I'm taking Baker Mayfield, his positive winning energy, minus six, going into Carolina. I mean, who's kidding coup Paul? All right. That's Charlotte. Okay. That's college. They're into college down there. They're in the moonshine and they're into separate but equal bathrooms. OK. Wipes only water fountains. I'm taking the Buccaneers. Nice. Laying six. Well, I don't give a fuck. You know, I got belief this week, you know, I'm feeling very thankful.

Hey, it's Thanksgiving. Like some chick who just gave birth, you know, I'm feeling good this week. it's Thanksgiving. I have an old signed sweatshirt, like some chick who just gave birth. You know, I'm feeling good this week. It's Thanksgiving. You got it. What are you doing, Paul, for Thanksgiving? You doing the seven fishes? Nope, I'm doing nothing. You taking a brick of cash out of the fucking wall

and, you know, getting some fucking pappy? What are you doing, Paul? Hey, if the commanders do their job, I am. Yeah. Yeah. A very Paul Verzee fucking Thanksgiving. happy what are you doing for the commanders do their job I am. Paul Verzee fucking Thanksgiving Hey we got to bring in our our injury report expert here Jake

the snake come in here buddy what I got a little high candy for the ladies here he's got the glasses on showing you that a frame between those ears. Oh yeah. Look at the holy light backlighting the guy. Jake is such a good kid. Jake is such a good kid.

He could give you an MCL tear with a smile on his face. Oh yes, no. He's adolescent Mr. White from Breaking Bad. Before it all went bad, he's still thinking positive. He's into math, he's gonna start teaching soon. Before the car wash. Before the car wash. What, yeah, who do you got out there?

Yeah, so it's still early, so we just got the Thanksgiving games, injury report wise, and ironically, the two biggest injuries to look out for are on the Giants and the Cowboys. Tommy DeVito, I guess, is injured. So Tommy Cuppets. Whatever. Oh, oh, because he got the shit kicked out of him. And in the interview afterwards, he just goes, I'm not going to lie, everything is sore.

Everything hurts. And I hope tomorrow it settles down, but I don't know. Because we stink, we stink. Oh, we're racing you to the number one draft pick. Oh my god, dude. Hey, it's a rough one out there for the G-men. For good, you know what? Good for Daniel Jones, signing with the Vikings today. Get out of the press, everybody's shitting on you. Go sit down, take some, sit Minnesota. the York, you're New York, you got the cash. Hey, Paul, worst case scenario, we go out on the street for All right, so Jake, we've got Tommy Cutlet, who else?

The Cowboys quarterback, Cooper Rush, is also injured, but it seems like he could play in that game, so we don't officially know, but that's another one to monitor for all kind of Thanksgiving games. And then Tyree kill for the Dolphins is like 50 50, you know, so that's, that's, that's another big one. But that's what we got for just for the Thanksgiving games because you know, we don't. Well, I got one for you. Like the Sunday in the reports just yet. I got one for you.

What's that? Okay, so I already said one of these seasons, that I think he's smart enough to not hit him in the face. I think he's gonna get a nice straight right in the fucking solar plexus, as they used to say back in the day, right in the sternum. Oh. Yeah, I say he's gonna break somebody's sternum. Bill Burr with a specific... A specific. And if he doesn't break the sternum, all right?

If he punches him in the stomach, I still lose, all right, Paul? That'd be great. This is 20 for me to make 180 though. Okay, if I lose, I'll owe you 20 bucks. If I win, you owe me 180 bucks. I can't wait to listen to the fan and just go, Daniel Stern punched, I could just missed a Stern. You only said Daniel Stern like the fuck,

that's what they'll call him. That's the actor, Daniel Jones. Daniel Jones, Jesus. And that fan's gonna fucking deserve it too, Paul. Yeah, of course. I just said he wasn't worth 70 million bucks. I didn't say he was a bad quarterback. Nah, man, he went through a lot of shit that kid.

I'm actually glad he's done with the madness. Good for him. No, they're nice people out there. Although Minneapolis has a really high crime rate. No, is that right? I guess so. I mean, I was looking up, like, you know, I was just on a tour and I was like, this place looks nice. What's the crime rate? And you just would check it out. And that's like a real thing that people look at when they have kids and shit, you know? I've always just been a city guy. so I just assume this crime. You know what I mean?

Well, you know what? Lucky for our listeners, Jake the Snake is not just an injury report. He's also a crime report. Jake, what do we got in Minnesota? Well, Paul, gun violence is down this week. Yeah, I want to hear you. I want to hear you rank the most most dangerous NFL cities. Oh, Paul want to hear you. I want to hear you rank the most most dangerous NFL cities. Oh Paul, let's guess. Let's guess. I know I could tell you right now. Unfortunately, I saw where somebody got gunned down in front of my hotel. I got to say it has to be top three is Baltimore, Baltimore, Detroit, Cleveland, Kansas City. Baltimore, Detroit, Cleveland. Kansas City?

No. Oh, no, Kansas City is surprising, Paul. That's an old Al Capone bootleg city. I don't think they ever shook that up. They're still traumatized by it. Another one of your people just saying, Paul, another one of your people. Hey, we don't like to work, okay? No, you do.

You just work in a different way. I'm going to say... to work. Okay. You just you just work in a different way. Um, I'm who's get it was better when you guys ran it. It just was New Orleans, New Orleans more crime than Kansas City, I'd say. Oh, that's a good one, too. I

always think we have to go by divisions, Paul. Because I'll tell you, the NFC South is wild, Paul. You got New Orleans. How do we forget Chicago? Because they're second city even in crime. Nobody respects their murders. I would say the NFC South, Paul,

New Orleans, Jacksonville, Tampa Bay. I mean, those last two, you had, you had white people fucking wild and wild and out outside at fucking titty bars at some copper tone competition. All right. I got to pick, I got to pick here. Thank you. So for Christ, you left Tampa. You didn't even have a shirt anymore.

Those people are crazy down there. You want to know what the top 10 is? Yes. Did you find Andrew? I was looking. Yeah. There's a couple of- Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Hold on real quick. Baltimore's in there, right? Yes? No. Paul, Paul, Paul, watch the wire too much. Paul watch the wire too much you watch so there's a couple there's a couple lists the the Google AI is telling me it's saying a couple of say st. Louis Missouri I'm actually Memphis no they don't have a team though they don't have a football team. Oh, sports cities. Yeah, sports cities. Oh, okay, okay, okay. So the first one on this list would be Detroit

is number three. I love Detroit. New Orleans is number six on this list. Now the top result I keep getting is from the BBC, but I am not gonna listen to them. Fuck those guys. they're the reason this country's fucked up they act like they didn't raise us who are they what do we got who's number two oh you keep looking yeah now I'm looking most

dangerous most violent NFL Stadium list andower Field has the most incidences. Where's that? That was just on stadiums. I like stadiums. I don't even know where. I think that's Denver, because I was looking at it. That's the article I saw.

But I thought we were just doing cities. Denver, mile high stadium is the number one place you get your ass kicked? I guess so. That's weird. I thought that's so too. Most on this list don't even have a sports team. So this list has Bessemer Alabama as number one, Monroe, Louisiana,

Saginaw, Michigan, Memphis, Tennessee, Detroit's number five, Birmingham, Alabama, Pine Blvd, Arkansas. That's all SEC. They don't even have teams, man. No, that's college football shit. All right, well, let me get my third pick in here. For my third pick. Oh man. Is Trevor Lawrence out?

He may play this week. It sounds like they're preparing him to play this week. I think that's why that line dropped a bit. The Arizona Cardinals are just a weird fucking team, man. All right, I'm gonna do it. I hate to do it. I don't want to kick a horse when it's down, but... What are you doing? Paul, I don't want to beat a dead horse. You don't kick a man when he's down. Jesus Christ. Sorry. Paul.

Jesus Christ. Dude, we got to start writing, he's down. Like, I don't want to kick a horse when he's down. Last week and this week. Sorry. I don't want to beat a dead horse. I'm sorry. Hey, Paul, I don't want you to kick that horse when

it's down either, man. That's not good for ticket sales. You got me. you're right. Oh, that's amazing. Oh, dude, I'm gonna take the Buffalo Bills to beat the 49ers. Minus seven, I know it's a high line, but I think we're watching the death of the 49ers.

Paulie Downsfield, laying seven. That's the guy I know. Yeah, all right, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna take the New Orleans Saints getting free at home against the Rams. I know they got some of their their receivers back or whatever. But I don't know, I like that city better than Los Angeles. So that's why I'm taking this. Andrew, you put it under mine. You got that city better than Los Angeles. So that's why I'm taking this thing.

Andrew, you put it under mine. You got to put it under Bill's. Hey, hey, hey, what are we doing here? All right. You're coming to pay no mind list over here. All right. Let's see here. One more, my fourth and final pick. Am I going to touch the Giants Cowboys?

Nope. Stay away from your heart. There you go. I say, yeah. How about, should I take the, you know what? You know what? What? I'm gonna take the Raiders against the Chiefs, getting 13. It's a prime time game.

It's a prime time game, I believe. Yeah, Black Friday. What? It's Black Friday. It's Black Friday, so everybody's going to be home. The Raiders are getting disrespected with that line. I think they, listen, hey, I don't think they're going to win the game. 13 is a lot. Give me the points. Let me start up almost two touchdowns. I'm gonna take the Raiders on Black Friday. What better team to take on Black Friday than the Raiders?

I love it. Watching them trying. Chiefs will be covering in the first half, and then the other team comes roaring back, because if they put them away, Paul, you don't watch the commercials. Well, here's the other thing. I'm gonna lose the bet,

because Mahomes is gonna get a call, or there's going to be a no call and they're going to end up winning by 14 and I'm going to, you know, but it is what it is. I know. Hey, I know what I'm going into. I'm a big boy. Mahomes runs like he's on like those hot rocks. He does run so weird, man. I, I, yeah. We'll just say weird. He does run so weird, man. I, yeah, I'll just say weird.

You can just fake like he's going out of bounds and then run up the sideline for 30 yards. That was fucking bullshit. Thank you for saying that. Yeah. He should have gotten his fucking head taken off the next play after the whistle. You don't do that bullshit. And then I'll patch up my homes. It's like, and now listen, oh my God, my bra's showing. I'm fucking, dude, the thing they don't tell you about where you want to wear a white speeder,

you better put fucking deodorant on. You better put deodorant on it. That shit's fucking coming. It's raining down on your waist. Anyway, yeah, I'm not just singling out Patrick Mahomes, but like if you're a fucking quarterback and there's D backs there in the end of the game and they're pulling up thinking you're going to slide and then you do that sneak shit

where you keep going and get another 15 yards, you know, somebody owes him one for that. That'd be like, if you're not talking to her because I don't play. Yeah, that'd be like if you could call a fair catch and then just be like, I changed my mind. It'd be like if you could call a fair catch and then just be like I changed my mind. It's literally the same thing. How I know you know and listen I'm not trying to complain about them.

I know I lost the game. But here's the thing. How I know that they're the NFL darling this year is I actually think this year the officials have been incredible. I remember watching a game and even my son Lucas goes he goes goes, man, that was a really good call. Like they've been really good. But when it comes to the chiefs, the chiefs are when, when David Stern had Michael Jordan and he looked the other way, it's just what it is right now. It is what it is. Kobe got the calls, Tom Brady got the calls. Now the chiefs get the calls. So Paul, I got to tell you, you're taking 13 against the fucking prom queens. The rating prom queens of the NFL, Paul.

You know, I'll tell you, I know you're in a soccer mom vehicle right now, but you got a lot of fools. But I'm gonna tell you something right now. You wanna know why I took the Raiders on Black Friday? Because if they lose, I could sleep. If I took the Raiders on Black Friday, I could sleep. That's what it's about.

Paul, I've never known you not being able to sleep. I've seen you go through a lot of shit in life. If anybody can fucking sleep, it's Paul Bursey. I don't think I've ever met you on the road where you didn't love the bed the night before. How great were those beds? Like I'm gonna find out the name of night before. How great were those beds? Seriously. Like I'm gonna find out the name of that mattress. I'm gonna buy it.

Well, we were on a bus tour. Bill was the only one that knew how to tour with me. Barnick would be up asking if you wanted a beer at eight in the morning. Bill was like, let Paul come out at 11. Just let him come out at 11. No, no, no, no, no, no. You let Paul come to you in the morning.

It's just, dude, you know, I'm not trying to be a wise ass. I do the same thing with my wife. I just let him fucking sleep. I go downstairs, I do the breakfast and all that. And then when she gets up, she gets the kids dressed for school. That's how it works. If she has to get up and make the fucking break, she needs I need sleep, Paul, but I'm German Irish. So I just block that out. Bill, you remember my face? face bill you remember my face when we had to be in the lobby early. Oh

Dude you came out you you look like somebody slept with your wife or something like you were that level of upset No, you would have been angry. I'm trying to think what the reference is. You said like somebody did me wrong or something. Like somebody like... Yeah, it was... Yeah, you said like somebody wronged you. Well, the thing was, and you had this look on your face like everybody else in the lobby

was going to agree with you. Like, is it fucking like, what are we doing here? Like everybody felt the way you did. That's great. All right, well, Bill, you just hover around, you're actually having a, this show is actually doing pretty well. Andrew, you went 4-0.

Andrew's just silent as fast as can do it. He's been, how many years in a row have you beaten the book? Three. Wow. Paulie. Well, this, this will be, this, this will be my third. This will be, this will be my third. I only started doing it two years ago.

Yeah. Okay. I just think I'm, I think I'm, I think I'm in a good, I think I'm in a good position to this year. Jake the snake, what'd you do last week, Jake the snake? I went three and one and you guys are talking about illegal shifts in formations. And Houston wasn't going to cover anyway, but they scored the game winning touchdown

and then they called it back as an illegal shift. And I just think those penalties are complete bullshit. They drive me crazy. Exactly. Jake, what are you doing with all your money? What are you doing? Look at him. You'd never know.

You would never know this guy slaps the book around every fucking weekend. I'm telling you, he's low key. When Jake gets mad- That's your problem, Paul. Paul, you're too flashy. You got to take a page out of Jake the Snake's book, man. You know what I love about Jake?

When he gets mad, he doesn't get loud. He just adjusts the glasses, says bullshit, moves on. Oh, no. You don't want Jake on your... You don't want to be on Jake's bad list. No. No, no. It's Monday night special time. We got the Browns and the Broncos. Oh, we got the Browns and the Broncos.

We got happy Jameis Winston. Dude, Jameis Winston is as entertaining as the game. Watching him talk, he goes, I get to play football today. I get to play football in the snow today. This is a blessed day. I get to play football today. I get to play football in the snow today. This is a blessed day. This is, I get to play football. How great is this? And then they were like, you never played in the snow?

He goes, I'm from Alabama, man. I love it. I love it. I, you know, I don't know. Paul, the game has passed me by. I don't know what's going on. I have no idea. I don't know.

I don't know who's what, but somehow I go to and to every week from a couple games on the 500, just swinging in the dark ball. Listen, these kids, the way they express themselves, you know, it's a different thing than when I I was you know, but I was young very long time ago. So I'm happy for this generation. Um, adapt or die, dude. Five and a half, Bill. Five and a, uh, Browns are getting five and a half. You know, Jamis Winston, who's the Broncos quarterback? Bo Nix. Bo Nix. Bo Nix. Hey, what's the record? Playing pretty good.

Jake, what's the Browns record right now? Um, I don't know the Browns record right now? I don't know the Browns record. The Browns was a seven and five. I think the Browns are 38. 38. Denver's seven and five. Quiet seven and five. Quiet seven and five and like,

and I feel like they won three games in the last month. Like they're coming on. And it's their first- I've had them at Fox. Yeah, and I think this is their first Monday night football. So they're on prime time. Bo Nix's first Monday night game, right? Who the fuck is Bo Nix?

Was he Oregon or no? No, where was he? He was. He was. Oregon. He was a quarterback. That's a big program. How did he do over there? Killed it.

Just showed you how out of touch I am. My apologies to Bo Nix. All right. I know nothing about him either except he looks like a Brian Bosworth type. He's got like spiked hair. He's got like spiked blonde hair. He's a throwback.

Andrew, can we get a picture of Bo Nicks up here? Just so we can look at his face and see if he's gonna win on Monday night. That's what I'm basing it on. That's how this show does it. We look at a kid's haircut. We look at his face. Hey, hey, Paul, Paul, these are our analytics.

Yeah. Yeah. I hate this. I'm gonna tell to pull. I hate this fucking game. Do you? Yeah. I like it. Do you? You know, you just sounded like member of the Breakfast Club, Anthony Michael Hall, when he was like, you know, I'm here. I'm here. Because Jander found a gun in my locker. Great great movie. Yeah fantastic. John Hughes man, rest his soul. Oh there's a Bo Nix.

All right can we zoom? All right. Kid looks like he's got it together. He's got it together. All right. James. Oh man. Oh. the Dude, if that guy doesn't sell cars or have a real estate company after his playing career. Oh, that was the old school. Come on down to Bo'Nicks Chevrolet. We got Monte Carlo's, we got Impala's, whatever you need. We'll get you in.

My name ain't Bo'Nicks. Bo'Nicks Chevrolet. Route 1 and stuff. So you want to take the Broncos or do you think we we should take Jameis Winston getting 5.5 points? What do you think? Ah, come on. Who's more fun than Jameis? You've been better on the Monday nights than all of us, so let's go.

What do you think? Alright, Bill wants Jameis. Let's go Jameis. Just so the post-game interview's fun. I'm into the Bo' Nicks. I mean, it's just fucking been raining pussy and opportunity. You know, Jame James was fucking in Alabama. He's never seen snow.

They're giving him shit for getting crab legs at the fucking supermarket. Bo Nicks is just crushing. I mean, yeah. Yeah, the world was made for Bo Nicks. I mean, it's just like, it's like one of those swinging kitchen doors. He just, he doesn't have to put his arm up.

Just fucking walks right through it. And Thanksgiving. Let's give thanks to all the great quotes from James Winston this. Let's fucking do it. And you know what? He's a thankful guy. Let's take Jake James Winston, James Winston and the point. James to throw one. Right? Yep. James to throw one. James to confuse his teammates with the pregame speech. What's the over under that? You've got to probably bet 200 to make five bucks. Yeah.

And James to say, I'm grateful and look at the sky and shake his head. That's part of the parlay. What do you want to do? You want to do Bo Nick? No, no. Yeah, you want to do Bo Knicks to throw one, Jameis to throw one, Browns to cover? Say that one more time.

Jameis to throw one, Bo Knicks to throw one, Browns to cover. I like all of that except both of them throwing one. I'm seeing somebody's running one in. Oh, you want to do James to run one in? Yeah. Okay. I mean, we're playing it safe here. James to run one in, Bonix to throw one. Take the rounds with the points. It's Thanksgiving. Should we get a little crazy and do one other thing? No, I want to win.

I want to win some money for people. Okay. That's like a robbing a bank. Hey, you want to add another guy, Paul? You're right. You're right. Don't get me started. Rod's of a fucking rat by 25%.

No, I don't. You're right. You're right. Hey, when you're right, you're right. And you, you're always right. What movie? Hey, Paulie, you know, what do I know about Running a Restaurant? None of you guys know that movie. Hey, when you're right, you're right. And you? You're always right. Come on, great actor. Pass away.

Sounds like me. Spaceballs. Yes. Who was it? John Candy. John Candy to Bill Pullman. Bill Pullman was Lone Star, and John Candy was Bart. I have never seen... I've never seen... Spaceballs?

Yeah, never seen that. Oh, that's great. I'm going through all the Coen brother movies right now. Oh, nice. I'm up to Oh Brother, Where Art Dab. Oh, okay. I gotta up to Oh brother where art down. Okay, I gotta tell you Paul, I gotta tell you like they don't get brought up enough as far as their range and the quality that they do you know. He's talking about Michael learners Michael learners pardon Barton Fink when he goes Oh my god, you know You know, you're right. I watched that.

That's like, I watched that movie so much. Dude, you gotta see. I used to watch it like every other week. The studio executive. I love when he signs up for the National Guard and he goes, he goes, I went to wardrobe. This isn't it. And he's got like all the general medals.

And then at the end of the scene, he goes and he turns around and he stands like a general with his hands behind his back. He just passed away, rest his soul man. What a, what a, what a. And when I was growing up, Paul, he's one of those character actors. This might be before your time, but like there'd be these character actors, you'd see them in like, they did a guest star on every fucking TV show.

And then you'd catch them in a couple of movies. And they, it was back when you could be a working actor, when they had a middle class for acting, where before it became like you know you're Tom Cruise or or you're just doing an indie film, you know, shitting in a bucket. Shitting in a bucket everybody, there's your fucking visual for your meal tomorrow or today I should say. Dude, no country for old men is incredible, man. It's incredible.

It's just so, it's so great. Dude, Blood Simple. I didn't see that. Oh, dude. Didn't see it. Oh my God, you gotta see that. Blood Simple's fucking amazing. Yeah, I gotta check that out.

Dude, they did Blood Simple, and then that next fucking one is is raising, Arizona Oh my god, then they go back to Millers crossing and then they go then they go all this serious serious. Oh this too. Oh My nugget audio Yeah, he was like a learner was so amazing in that movie. We'd get cut anyways from YouTube. Yeah, I don't know if they would let you do that, but that guy was amazing in what's it called? He was funny in Elf. He was funny in Elf as the boss. He was also great in Harlem Nights.

Wait, Michael Lerner's the boss? I thought that was Sonny from Goodfellas. And it's his boss. It's James Khan's boss. Right. James Khan. My daughter finally saw a clip of elf and she was dying laughing when the guys at the store. Oh, yeah. OK, just let you know, you know, Santa's coming down here and then Will Farrell's like, SADAAA! Dude, James, James Kahn said in an interview uh no I'm sorry Will Farrell said when they walked out of the premiere together. Oh boy somebody's calling him. And he said he's

there they and he said uh he goes, he goes, dude, he goes, I'll be honest with you, during the taping, I thought you were over the top and not funny. He goes, I thought this was so silly and dumb. And he goes, and he goes, now I see how brilliant it is. He's like, people were asking me, like, is he funny? Is he great? And he was like, it's so stupid.

I feel like he was saying that during the shoot. Like he just didn't get him. I forget, because Will's had a couple of those. Like he said to somebody, I think he said to Robert Duvall one time. Like he was walking by his trailer and he just said as a joke, he goes, hey, Bobby, because I'm coming for you today.

And Robert was like, what the fuck do you mean? You don't fucking come for me. I'm Robert Duvall. And like Robert was like, fuck you mean you don't fucking come for me.

That's all I'm hearing. That's all I'm hearing. Paul is on the way up, you know?

And you're doing it right. You're doing it right. It's in bedrock, Paul. You're being who you are. You're like that kid putting up these numbers at this school that nobody respects, right? You go late in the draft. You go late in the draft,

and then you come in and you're fucking shit on them. Hey, look what happened. Look what happened when they kept Rogers in the fucking green room with his mother to the 30th pick. What happened? There you go. By the way, by the way, can they not do that to a draft pick in front of their mother, have the camera in their face after like the first 20 guys are gone and he's just sitting there and he's got to put a smile on, he's just pouring a glass of water with his mother sitting there and his mother's like, it's fine, you're going to the NFL.

Let me tell you something, the only worse than that are the people that fucking watch it. Why would you watch, just like watching a fucking graduation when you could just, they could just, you just wait. You just wait, fucking go live your fucking life and then come back, they'll tell you, everybody, in like two seconds, what was gonna take you Go live your fucking life and then come back. They'll tell you everybody in like Two seconds what was gonna take you four hours to fucking watch Pope. Why would you do that? Oh my god

You know why they want to be right? Why did you we need an outside linebacker? Not a fucking place. Can't somebody doing that for four hours. Hey, you know what they do. That's really stupid I took Lucas to the end NBA draft and we had a nice time, but they do this thing where they're trying to fill time. So this 19 year old kid gets drafted to an NBA team, 1920, whatever, and he's so excited, his life changes crying. And then they bring them over and they wait a few picks. And then they go live to an interview with him

on the monitor and they go, all right, we're gonna do a round, a rapid round. I'm just, we're just gonna throw some things at you. Like they talk to him, welcome, how do you feel? And then they go, all right, ice cream or cake? And you say one and then they go like this to this kid. Dude, me and Lucas felt so bad. They go, cats or dogs? And he just goes, oh, cats, man, I hate dogs. And dude, the Barclays Center unmercifully booed him. And he goes, no, I don't, I had, I got bit as a kid. And I'm like, let this fucking kid go enjoy. It was so stupid, man.

He should have been like, I have too much money now to answer these fucking questions. Yeah, he should have been like, what are you doing? They would have done enough. Come to my hotel room, you dumb white brat. Why does my head look so small when I sit back like this? Look at this. I'll tell you right now, I think the fucking ears are going

to go against her. All right, let's get out of here. That's the show. We will see you next week. Enjoy football. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody. And happy Thanksgiving to you guys. Thanks to you.
