Happy Halloween. Bill, what are you dressing up as? What are you going as tonight?
I'm going as a bald dad who doesn't know where his dreams went. I'm going.
Going as a guy who doesn't know
how we ended up ever getting
this busy in life. Oh, dude, a
bald dad is funny. That's fine.
What do you have a bald dad?
Oh, you're nailing it.
You're crushing it, dude.
I totally bought.
I mean, that's what I thought
you were when I looked at you.
Gray sweatshirt holding the kids
hand.
Where'd you get those clothes
out of my closet.
Hey, you know, Paul, you write what you know.
That's fucking great.
Do you take the kids trick or treating?
Are you one of those?
Oh, 100%.
Yeah, yeah.
I have turned down gigs that we're going to overlap.
Birthdays, Halloween, holidays, you gotta be there.
Yeah, what's-
You only get it, dude, you think about it.
You get 18 of them.
That's it. I know.
That's not even a month's worth of days.
You can't miss them.
You don't even get 18 of them.
Lucas is 15, and I think he's going to a party.
I don't even have that.
It's like, I don't-
When do they stop trick-or-treating? Sophia's 12, she's going to a party like I don't even have that. It's like when did they stop trick or treating.
You know Sophia's 12 she's going to a friend's house and Lucas is going to a party dude. It's
going to be me watching the Jets. Oh my God. You can't blame any players on the Jets like
that that that franchise is just a nept. I still don't get why they fired their head coach
with nobody to replace him.
I know.
You're telling me nobody was better than that guy?
Well, here's the deal.
Having nobody.
Here's the deal.
Rogers didn't like him.
That's why they did it.
That's why they did.
Oh boy.
When the big dog doesn't like him,
you know, what are you gonna do?
But hey. They had a little tift. I know. doesn't like him, you know, what are you gonna do? But hey.
They had a little tift.
I know.
You ride it out, you know?
Absence makes the heart go fonder.
You know, he stands on one end of the sideline,
the other guy stands on the other,
and they meet in the middle.
Hey man, I'm sorry I didn't hug you on game four.
That's all right, bro.
Yeah, whatever happened to going to get a beer?
You wanna run a sweep on this one?
Nah, I was thinking of going up top.
All right, hey, whatever you wanna do.
Go get a beer with a guy. Take a guy to get some wings and talk, just you two. Whatever
happened to that? Can you go get a steak with a guy? I don't know, Paul. I mean, I like to think
it's still around at a different level. I would do that with you. Yeah, let's get a steak.
Can't we get a steak, Bill? I mean, we're making money to play a kid's game. I mean, what is,
I mean, that would make me want to hug somebody. We're making millions, even mean we're making money to play a kid's game I mean what what is I mean that would make me want to hug somebody
let's smoke a stick yes all right right now I'm so happy I'm gonna buy another car this weekend. Crazy!
Oh yeah, yeah.
Whether it's complete or not, this money is guaranteed.
Yeah, I don't...
I just don't like... I don't even... I'm getting to the point of like why did the
jets still exist?
And also as a New York fan, It's like you have the Giants walk across the street. I believe the fucking stadium
They sell reversible jet jackets like it just so they just turn into giant hits when you walk out of the stadium
You know what bugged me what bugged me last night was
Right after the Yankees lost, congratulations to the Dodgers.
These Met fans were going, couldn't have been more a perfect day. And they don't even have prospects. They're done.
All is right in the world. And like, dude, some people that have like big podcasts saying that, like rooting, going like this. Ah, what a beautiful day. And it's almost like, dude, you guys like don't even fucking
belong in the same sentence as it's like, what are we in?
That right there, Paul, is why they love watching you lose.
Yeah. You guys always remind them.
Yeah. That they are not the giants, that they are not the Dodgers.
They are they are the that they are the not as hot second wife
after the first one left you
for the sunshine of the West Coast.
You always remind them of that.
Their colors are an amalgam of two teens
that already existed.
That's why they're-
Yeah, they're the gumad that's not as pretty,
but she does filthier shit.
Exactly.
And it's just waiting for New York to break up
with the Yankees and finally marry her
and it's just never gonna happen.
Oh, yeah, she's telling her friends,
no, he told me, it's coming.
She put a few pounds on, she's sliding into 50,
she's going to the wine rack a little bit too much.
Yeah.
I don't know, dude.
I would never, I'm really, I wouldn't.
And I think, you know, dude, you know me as a friend, right?
You think one minute after your team lost, I would ever go.
All is right in the world.
It's almost like-
No, yeah, you did that.
You did that in fucking,
when the undefeated Patriots lost to the Giants
and you called me up and said,
and we fucking rammed it up there. That's exactly I was standing in Tom Papa's
living room I remember it I was like god damn man insult to injury. Well that was
07 and I don't even know if we met each other yet I was drunk. I was a different
person it was a different decade. I was a kid. Hey how could these Mets fans do
what I do?
That's ridiculous.
No, you've been good about it.
I will tell you what was fucking bugging the shit out of me was in game three when you guys were down 0-3
and somebody in the broadcast booth goes,
the Yankees are now trying to do what has never been done.
And I was like, what do you mean never been done?
We did it to them.
And I'm like, wait, is he going to get by on a technicality that mean never been done? We did it to them and I'm like wait is he
gonna get by on a technicality that has never been done in the World Series? Yeah I thought that was
weird too. So you're not even gonna give us the tip of the cap? Because in 140 years of baseball
it's only been done once and it was done to the Yankees so obviously you would bring that up.
Dude I gotta tell you like if it was the other around, we never would have heard the end of it and fucking Dan Shaughnessy would have wrote a book. Dan Shaughnessy is
such a douche to the local sports teams. He literally should be writing for the New York
Post. I glanced at the New York Post this morning because I'm just fascinated with how
mean they are, right? And the shit that they were fucking saying, like this team overachieved.
Where they were in like July, to end up in the world. No one in July thought they were
going to the World Series. And then they do. And they took their lumps, which is great.
Because then what happens? Next year you come back, you know what it feels like to be fucking
three games away.
Yeah, I agree with that.
I think a team needs to feel this pain.
And the Yankees weakness was sloppy ball
and some dumb errors.
And like ultimately that all caught up with them
in that fifth inning and it sucked.
But listen, keep the team together
and see what they could do and fight back.
But all right, Bill, let's get into these picks.
We got week eight right now.
A lot of things are changing here.
Let me look at these lines. I believe you went first the last two weeks, right? So now it's my turn. Is that right Andrew?
I don't know what happened. Paul, I was flying to Europe and flying back the last two Sundays. I don't even know what's going on.
I think, alright. So here we go dude. I was confused about this Jets Texans line
Which is tonight's game because it's a minus one and a half
but then I found out Stefan Diggs is out for the year for the Texans and their other fucking guy is out and
Can we just just get into the soap opera of the Jets here Paul?
What happens if they lose tonight to the Texans are terrible this year?
Jets are two and jets if the Jets are two and six, dude,
if they lose tonight, it's over.
No, it's already over, but like, what happens?
Oh, it was over three weeks ago.
It was over when the guy went for the hug and then it didn't happen.
Yeah, you're right.
It was fucking over. Are the New York Jets gonna lose to a wide receiver list Texans team tonight is the question.
I mean they lost to the Patriots last week.
Patriots look good last week.
Patriots played the Jets last week.
That's a funny thing to do in this point. Who did they play? Okay. You're standing
next to a fat chick. You're going to look all right. That was Rodney Dangerfield. Hey,
Lou, be honest. Did you see the new spot? He goes, did I look at it? He goes, you could
lose a couple. He goes, I got to get bigger at this. Yeah. People love when I stand next to them, Paul. I elevate their looks, especially with
overhead lighting. I'm going to get a softer light on me. Look at the shine on my forehead.
Look at this.
Dude, you look great. Thanks, Paul.
I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it. I'm going to flip my vote. I'm going to flip my I almost said flip my vote. I'm going to flip.
I'm going to flip my pick and I'm
going to take the New York Jets
tonight.
Look, Aaron Rogers,
Devante Adams, they
need a win.
They need a win. They have Garrett
Wilson at wide receiver and the
defense is good.
And the Texans do not have not
only a number one receiver, they
don't have a number two receiver. If the Jets were ever going to win a game at home,
it's tonight on Halloween. I think the freaks come out at night, the costumes are going to be out,
something spooky is going to happen. I'm going to flip my bet because I was going to take the
Texans. But then Jake the Snake came in and gave me the injury report. I'm going to take the New
York Jets to win the game tonight. Hey, Bill, I always say it's like a pick them.
It's like a pick them. This is just to pick them. I got the jets.
Hey, shout out to jet fans that are still showing up. Yes. So it's,
it's, it's literally like,
I don't know what sort of dysfunctional family they grew up in.
But I feel like if you,
if your parents were two people that should have broke up but never did like you you're you're tailor made to be a Jets fan because
it is it is not it's a toxic relationship and the level of gear that they buy the level
of of like swag that jet fans where you would think that they had like four or five Super
Bowls dude how funny is it that there's going to be a guy dressed as Darth Vader
tonight freezing in the parking lot, drinking a beer?
How funny is it that people still dress like Darth Vader?
Like I said, are you mocking Halloween costumes?
Oh, all right, Paul, I'm gonna go with the Ravens lay a nine at home because
the Broncos had their big fucking week last week where they just destroyed the Panthers.
And I like the Ravens at home. I just think they got a great defense and I don't know
shit about the Broncos, but they can go fuck themselves this week. I'm taking the Ravens
minus nine Lamar Jackson. And the Ravens are coming off. I'm taking the Ravens, minus nine, Lamar Jackson.
And the Ravens are coming off that brutal loss to the Browns.
I like it.
That's a great pick.
Yes.
It wasn't a fun time in that facility.
My wife's texting me.
Is the car at the house?
No, I fucking dropped it off.
I threw it in the ocean.
What do you, of course it's in the house.
It's in the fucking...
I went home with your car.
I'm not answering that text.
At some point these people have to grow up.
All right.
I'm kidding.
For my second.
Because some fucking asshole is gonna clip that
and send it to my wife.
All right, here we go here.
Dude, I don't know, man.
Packers Lions is.
Oh, wait a minute.
I know what she's saying.
I was wrong. Hold on one second.
That's hilarious.
Come on.
Come on.
How do I get out of this?
Done.
All right. You picked that.
All right, dude.
Is Jamis Winston gonna do it two weeks in a row?
Yeah, Jake, that's what we need.
We need Jake real quick.
Jake, what do we need to know?
Jake, Jake the snake, everybody.
Where in his LA?
Jake the snake laying in the grass.
There he is.
Absolutely.
Yeah, for, let's see, it's mostly quarterbacks,
but it sounds like they're all gonna play,
but the quarterbacks kind of monitor our golf.
Jordan Love, who got injured in the game last week, and Lamar and Jane Daniels, they're all like limited in
practice, but they're all supposed to play. But they'll have like kind of minor injuries. And then
yeah, we talked about Dixie's out for the year. But other than that, you know, it's not too bad
with injury reports this week. Wait, Jayden Daniels is playing or is not playing.
He's playing, but they're already, they said he's limited in practice, you know,
so it's kind of just like keeping an eye on him, but I think he played last week.
So, and what's going on the Bengals Bengals, no injuries.
Uh, T Higgins could be injured again, cause he missed last week and hasn't
practiced yet and then the Cowboys are still a mess on defense with No Micah
and Diggs and all those guys.
Paul, are you listening to this kid?
I mean, he just, he's like a mob lawyer.
You're like leaning in.
What do I think?
He's just giving you all the info.
No, no.
I know, man.
This is a tough week.
I don't love these games.
I'll be honest with you.
Oh, we didn't even get Paul went three and one again.
All you guys that watched this show lay off Paul in September,
bury his bets in October and you're going to win every year.
The man is Mr. October.
He just won a Hail Mary last week.
I had the command.
Oh yeah, yeah, I did.
Oh, man.
Oh, how great was talk about a fan base that needed that.
Oh my God.
Um, I missed Tom Jackson though on that play. that was great was talk about a fan base that needed that. Oh my God. Oh my God.
I missed Tom Jackson though on
that play since then.
I'm going to take the Cincinnati
Bengals lay in a touchdown
against the Raiders at home.
I think this is where Joe Burrow
and them fucking hit the gas and
go on a little bit of a three
four game run here.
I think they click. I'm going to take Cincinnati Bengals at home against the Raiders.
I love all the Raiders.
Minus seven. Minus seven. Paul Burzy. You got to love Joe Burrow. The men smoke cigars,
right?
A lot of points, but.
A lot of points. I'm going to. I'm'm gonna take the Saints,
lay in seven and a half going in with the Panthers.
I'm just mad that the Panthers,
that the Broncos destroyed the Panthers last week
and the Panthers didn't show up for me.
So I'm betting against the Broncos and against the Panthers.
I'm just, I'm being petty this week.
Old petty Bill.
Car should be back too.
We've got a box of Tampax out here. I'm going Saints, mine is seven and a half. the It's like a different league man. I mean who know like
Like look at look at that line for the Chiefs and Buccaneers
I know the Buccaneers are getting nine points. They scored like 40 points a week all of a sudden. I
Know dude, this is uh, and dude Brown's Chargers is tough
But the Chiefs are allowed to hold
Dude Patriots Titans is tough, dude. Chargers is tough. But the Chiefs are allowed to hold.
Dude, Patriots Titans is tough.
Dude, this week is wild.
I like that pick though.
I like the Saints because Jake the Snake just said,
Derek Carr is back.
So that's good.
The Saints are gonna come marching in, Paul.
Right into Charlotte.
Oh, when the Saints go march in.
Sherman's march, they're gonna burn the place down.
All right. the Saints go March in. Sure, it's March. They're gonna burn the place down. Alright.
Dude, this is...
I mean, I fucking hate this week.
Let's do this.
The Cowboys, this will be the kill shot for the Cowboys.
I'm gonna take the Atlanta Falcons,
Lay in three, I'm going too many favorites here.
This might not work, but lay in three against,
who's out for the Cowboys? Parsons?
Yeah, well, we don't officially know,
but he's not practicing again,
and he's been out for a while.
He's probably been out for close to a month at this point.
Should I flip my bet?
I'm gonna flip it.
Cowboys have been terrible, man.
I'm gonna keep it.
No, I don't, I, you know what?
Jake the snake, the old,
Jake was just the swing state on that one, man.
Oh my God.
Paulie, trust your instincts, it's still October. That's right. that that
that You're hanging on too tight, Paul. You got to go with your gut. You got to sling it out there.
I'm going to go with the Falcons, man.
Minus three at home.
That was my original pick.
And I just think that the Cowboys are bad.
All right.
I'm going to keep doing what I've been doing.
I've been betting against the Patriots all year.
It's how I can watch them.
Either win the bet or they win the game.
They're on the road against the Titans.
They're coming off a big win over a tough New York Jets team.
They're getting three and a half.
I don't like the half a point.
I will tell you, I don't like the half a point.
I'm sorry, they're going to Nashville.
The Titans, I don't know.
Who the hell do they got? Who do they got? Alan Trammell? Who the hell is
their quarterback? I don't even know. I think it's... Alan Trammell played for the Tigers
40 years ago. Yeah, I don't give a fuck. I'm going to watch that game and Patriots will
probably win, but I'm going to take the Titans. All right. For my fourth and final pick, I'm going to take a dog and I am going to take.
I'm going to take the Giants.
I want to take the Giants.
If Jaden Daniels is limited at practice, we're getting four points.
We're at home. It really is.
I mean, the season's already not looking great, but I feel like if the
Giants were ever going to get me
a win, it's going to be them
getting four points against
Washington at home with our
defense. And we've been in every
game. We really have been in
every game, including the game
against Pittsburgh last week in
Pittsburgh on Monday night. I'll
take my Giants getting four
against the commanders.
Hopefully the quarterback is
banged up enough.
All right. And I'm going to take
the Packers at home plus three and a half against the Lions. Hopefully the quarterback is banged up enough. All right. And I'm going to take the Packers at home plus three and a half against the Lions.
I just I love Jordan Love. I love Lamp. I those games are always close. I think getting three
and a half Lions might, you know, win by two or something like that. I like that line. I like the
Packers at home. I think I'd like Seattle too. I don't know why the fuck I did that line. I like the Packers at home. I think I'd like Seattle, too.
I don't know why the fuck I did that stupid bet
with the Saints, but it's all right.
I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna take the Packers.
This is gonna be a fun week, too. These are good games.
Yeah. Packers-Lyons is a great game.
I love the L-I love the Packers getting three and a half, too.
The half point. Oh, you got a lot.
The Black and Blue division, dude.
That's just a fun division. I like all of those teams.
The Bears, the Lions, the Lions, the Lions, the Bears.
All right, Bill, now we have the Monday night special,
which is. Oh, we just missed it last week, Paul.
By half a yard.
Half a yard, Lamar Jackson,
acting like we haven't had his back his whole career.
He couldn't fall four.
That was two weeks ago
that was week seven that was that was week seven but then last week you guys
were saying like oh hit it but then somebody messaged I was like no it's 51
and a half under he had 52 this past week I don't know we couldn't bring it
up till now and I thought the half a second you were decked out in jet-skier I'm not saying they're going to win this game but nine
points. I just think that's
what's going to happen. I
think that's what's going to
happen. I think that's what's
going to happen. I think that's
what's going to happen. I think
that's what's going to happen.
I think that's what's going to
happen. I think that's what's
going to happen. I think that's
what's going to happen. I think
that's what's going to happen.
I think that's what's going to
happen. I think that's what's going to happen. I think that's what's going to happen. I think that's... Baker Mayfield is the winner, dude.
I'm not saying they're gonna win this game, but nine points.
Let's take the point.
Look at me, Paul. I'm sitting back. Let's watch the AI camera adjust to this.
Let's see if it does. Let's see if it does. I'm sliding down.
I fucking hate that thing. That there's some fucking robot in there.
Look at that. It's fucking wild.
It's just a sense.
Oh, thanks Paul.
Thanks for saying that.
Computer background.
I don't want you to be scared that there's a robot living in your house.
Dude, fucking everything.
You want to hear something?
I got a motorcycle recently, right?
So the company wanted to like track me or whatever and do all of this shit.
And I'm like, no, I don't want to do that because they were going to hook me up with it for a few months
If I gave them content and I was just like
Not I want you tracking me and that was that they refused to not do that
So I just said fuck it. I'll just buy it on my own. So I buy it on my own
And then they send me a vest that has like an airbag in it. I'm like, well, that's really nice of them
And then I look on the back, like how to activate it.
Like step one, download the app.
These people, they're all just sending you microchips.
It's like, will you leave me alone?
I'm not spying on my own country.
Like, why are you treating me like a potential terrorist?
I'm a fucking idiot.
Who wants to go for a ride?
Leave me alone.
That's great. That's great. I think we're going here. I think we take the points. I
absolutely think we're going to. The Chiefs have been covered all year. I think they're
due not to cover. Baker Mayfield is just, I mean, that guy scores points. I mean, that's all I know. I don't know anything else.
Jake, what are we doing with Mike Evans?
Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are both out or no?
Both out, yeah. Both will be out.
I hate betting against the Chiefs.
I know.
It's a lot of points.
They already annoy me.
And then when he fucking does this,
where's the camera?
Where's the camera?
Where's the camera there?
When he does that, they huddle up,
and they zoom in on it.
Yeah.
After his guys are like, dude,
does anybody get held more than Bosa on the 49ers?
No.
I mean, that guy literally gets like Monday night,
like WWE Monday night rock,
like the level that that guy gets held,
like every play he's standing there like this
is some guy is like inside his jersey.
I was just going to say the only thing they don't do
is put a dildo in his ass.
And then I realized that was just such an aggressive.
I don't know where that came from.
There's no reason to even say that.
You're tapping into another side.
The only thing they don't do is open his mouth
and stick their balls in.
It's like, what?
Dude, that's hilarious.
Yeah.
The closet of married gay guy.
And he just talking sports and he just keeps throwing in gay shit.
Oh my God.
They destroyed him last night.
They won by like 25.
I know it's crazy.
Dude, they stuck their dick in there.
What have we got appetizers coming. What are you doing here?
What's he gonna do next? Spread his legs and suck his dick?
What?
Swabber all over his cock?
Everybody just looks down at their food.
When is he gonna come out?
When is he gonna come out? You know what, Paul, you've always been a little too into fashion.
If you ever came out, I would be surprised.
But then when I go, he does have a lot of sneakers that match his hats.
He wasn't afraid to get a manicure.
I mean, they I mean, right there.
I mean, you're right there I mean you
right there all right I got a pedicure not a manicure
dude that's hilarious dude um they got the Andre Hopkins too dude oh yeah
oh Baker Mayfield's is just gonna nut on their faces. I'm sorry, let me rephrase that.
I didn't mean that the way it, what?
Who said that?
Bakel-Mate people.
I'll tell you who's gonna take it in the ass this week.
It's the Raiders.
Have they ever had that character in the movie?
You gotta have like the dude like. Like a scary movie. Oh, they did. I think scary movie. the He's got a dress up like his life is. That is so funny. Dude, how do I tell this story?
I knew this person early in my career.
And it was just like, the dude was just fully out of the closet.
It was like married with kids.
And he would just show up just like, oh, god, my wife last night.
And he just sit there like, how does she not know?
How does she not know?
She knows.
Honey, I'm going to go shopping.
You want to watch the game?
No, I'll go with you.
Did he make a lot of money?
Was he killing it?
Listen, I'm not giving any more details than that.
I just remember my neck hurts from from fucking looking away and looking down.
Everything was cool until he brought up his family.
I just remember one time he invited me and my manager over to the cookout and I was just
like, dude, I can't see that lie up close.
I just made up an insult.
I can't be living in this guy's lie. I can't be a character in this fucking lie.
Yeah, it's just like... No, and then the whole thing was just sad. It's like, you know, just go be who you are, man.
Alright, we're gonna take the Buccaneers. Get in nine.
I'll tell you who's gonna get shit sucking on their toes. What? Ah.
Yo.
Oh, shit.
All right, dude.
Oh, my God, dude.
You see that place?
Oh, he's stuck his paint right in his fucking beard.
All right, let's get off this here.
Broncos.
It's so childish, and it's just a
never ending bit and I got his
assholes going to be bleeding
after that hit. Jesus you went
hardcore. I want to close it.
Right. That closed it. All
right. All right. Let's take
the points. I don't know
anybody. I don't know anybody
on the Buccaneers. You know, what
do they got? Ricky Bell still running for them. Warren Sapp still over there. Warren
Sapp. Who was it? Another great running back one day. They ran him like 50 times a game.
War done. No, no, it was before him.
This is like the 80s, 90s, when
they had the giant shoulder pads.
They had Ricky Bell, Doug Williams,
the Salmon, Dewey and Leroy Salmon,
J.K. McKay or something was their coach.
That was a fun thing.
Come on, we got to wrap this up.
All right, so who do we got here?
We got Baker Mayfield.
No, we got we're going to take
the Buccaneers getting nine.
Travis Kelsey just got a first
one of his only touchdowns of
the year last week.
I wonder if that keeps rolling
into Monday night.
I mean, how long can you shut
that guy down for?
Let's do that then. Let's do Kelsey to let's do. I mean, how long can you shut that guy down for?
Let's do that then.
Let's do Kelsey to, let's do, let's take the points.
Let's do Mahomes to throw one, Kelsey to catch one, but we take the points.
You think Kelsey has an injury or something?
Other than people blaming Taylor Swift?
You know, I'm sure it's not that.
It's gotta be.
People always blame the relationship.
Yoko Ono has just anybody in the public eye.
The second you have a bad show, they just blame the wife.
Have Jessica Simpson and Romo. Yeah, that was a big one. I know. And did the kid the
Cowboy fan base ever apologize to her? No. You know what? It was actually Tony. Yeah,
Tony just wasn't good.
Yeah.
No, I don't know.
Tony Romo had like nine quarterback coaches
in eight seasons, so I mean.
The Cowboys are like, they're like the Jets of the NFC.
But they've won, I don't know, I don't know.
I don't wanna get into this.
All right, Paul, I got nothing.
I'm a housewife here.
I don't even know who plays for the Buccaneers, but I would say oh wait is is
Is what the hell's his name?
Dr. Fernie Pacheco, is he coming back for running back? Nope. Yeah
Let's do the nine points.
Let's do Mahomes to throw one.
And you want to do Baker to throw one?
Both quarterbacks to throw one and we take the points?
So no Kelsey?
No Kelsey.
Yeah, no Kelsey.
Let's fucking get a win here for everybody.
Let's go, each quarterback throws one
and we take the nine points.
Okay, there's no numbers right now for Mayfield, Baker, but that'll be up later.
Okay.
Well, that's a very conservative bet. I like it.
Yeah. You know what? Let's get back on the winning track.
There you go, guys. Those are our picks for the anything better going into week number nine
Thank you guys so much
Oh, I want to thank everybody who listens to the anything better podcast who watched my special reasonable man
Which is getting rave reviews and the first write-up about it
We just had a write-up about it saying I am at my very best
So all I ask is you watch it you share it show people it right and and I hope you enjoy it as much as everybody
else has reasonable man streaming right now on my YouTube
channel for a great buzz from other comedians about it.
Well, I appreciate that. Thank you. I'll tell you what I really
did. I really fucked him in this one. No, I'm kidding. I gave him
a wallop with it. No. For all my dates, paulversey.com,
Bill, what's going on with you?
What's going on with me?
I have comics come home and I'm hosting SNL next week.
Oh!
Yeah.
That's awesome, congratulations.
Yeah.
Have a good time trick or treating with your kids tonight.
I will, I will.
I will.
And you know, then I'm in the pressure cooker for a week.
It'll be fun though.
Yeah.
It'll be fun.
It'll be fun to finally do the show with the crowd.
The first time I did it was the pandemic.
I had to come out wearing a mask.
It was hilarious.
It was like nobody there.
But I did have to walk by the band, I guess.
I don't know.
First weekend after the election too.
Yeah, I know.
So I'm kind of like trying to put together the monologue.
I'm like swinging in the dark here
because I don't know who's gonna win.
Well, you just have both.
You'll be fine, dude.
You're gonna crush it.
It's you. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's, it'll be, no, I'm, you know.
You know what it is. It's like the gig you want and then you get it. And then it's just like, fuck, yeah. It's it'll be, no, I'm, you know, you know what it is. It's like the
gig you want and then you get it and then it's just like, fuck, I gotta do this. So,
but I had a great time the last time I did it. And, you know, I'm just gonna have fun,
just be silly. And the key is you just don't put pressure on yourself to, you know, I have
to, you know, blah, blah, blah. I don't, I don't, pressure on yourself to, you know, I have to, you know,
blah, blah, blah. I don't, I don't. I just need to go there and have a good time. So
that's what I got going on. And then later on this month, I have this tour that starts in Ojai,
and then we go up the 99 starting in Bakersfield ending in, you know, Fresno. We got, we got all
these places. We ended Stockton, which I've never been to.
One of my favorite films, Fat City was shot there.
And then the Diaz brothers from the UFC,
I believe are from there.
So I always wanted to, there was just something
that's really interesting to me about that city.
You know what I mean?
Just like-
I drove through there, it's really cool. You'd like it, it's like the typo old town. You know what I mean? I drove through there. It's really cool.
You'd like it.
It's like the type of old town.
You know, it's got some old streets.
Yeah, I'm kind of really excited about doing that.
And then also I like doing a tour around the holidays
where I'm still in my home state.
Is a good time.
You're welcome.
That's great.
