What's up, everybody? And welcome back to the Anything Better podcast show for the Super Bowl, everybody. That's right. This is the last one of the year. It went by so fast. Bill absolutely crushed it. And I believe you're 10 and 1 in the playoffs. 10 and 2 in the playoffs.

I think I have four or six losses, something like that in the playoffs. I'm above in the playoffs, but I had a rough year. Jake and Andrew did great. But today we are here to talk about the big. big one. Is there like a nickname for the Super Bowl? I know that like the one bowl is the granddaddy of them all. Do they have anything for the Super Bowl? Rose Bowl is the granddaddy of them all. The Super Bowl? I don't know. The shit show, the advertising shit show. The money grab. The fuck. No, we were said the last two football games of the year, the AFC and the NFC

championship game. If you're a football, if you're a football fan, those are the games you want to go to. Yeah. This fucking, this thing, I don't know, this is like, if Martha Stewart is selling pots and pans at one point during the game, I wouldn't be surprised. It is just the biggest expression of capitalism in a bad way. Not saying capitalism is 100% bad for all you fucking cunts out there. Who are you fucking run? I'm just saying that it's like, this is supposed to be, it's out of all the four sports. You know what I mean?

Like, they would never do this in a Stanley, any of the Stanley Cup games, any of the World of World. World Series games and the NBA championship games. But this thing here, Paul, like they haven't made enough money at the casinos at this point. Well, it's not even, yeah, what I don't like about it is like the TV timeouts, even the game TV timeouts, like when there's a flow of the game, you're just waiting there forever and you're like, dude, get back to the game, man. No, it's just, it's everything. Everything is for sale.

Yeah. Everything is for sale on this one. So like I said, I'm doing what I always do. I'm watching it with my buddies. We're shutting our phones off. We're letting the game get about 90 minutes ahead, hour and 45. Then you turn the game on. You just fast forward through all of the bullshit.

So it's paced like the NFC or AFC championship game, where it's just like I can stay excited. I don't have to sit through the little river band fucking singing a song or whatever they're going to be doing, Paul. Yep. All right, so here's what we're going to do. We'll bring in Jake after, first we got a shout out our sponsor. It is BetMGM, guys.

We've been with them all year, another year in the books. Sad how fast it goes by, but we always have a great time with them, the best lines in the game. But you guys, it's not too late because if you guys want to get in on the Super Bowl with us, all you got to do is take your device and you download the BetMGM app. You put a minimum of $10 in the account, and you will get $1,500 back in bonus bets. So bet responsibly have fun with that. And we have the first touched.

Oh, our code, Burr. B-U-R-R, very simple. And then we have the first touchdown promo, which we've had all year, where you pick any NFL player in the game to get the first touchdown. And if they do, you win. If they don't, but they get the second, you get your cash back. It's that easy. For the last time, Bill, this is sad.

For the last time, we're going to bring in Jake the snake for the injury report of the year. Jake, it's interesting. It's the same. It's the same football season. But he's smiling. But he's smiling because he's a profession. I'll tell you, well, he's smiling. the ladies, knowing that his schedule is going to be opening up with all that free time.

It's going to be the lucky lady to get knocked up by Jake the Snake. So Jake, I take it that there's pretty much not too many injuries since we got a little break here. Yeah, exactly. Not too many. Pretty much no injuries. People worry that Drake may have a shoulder issue, but it seems like he's worked through it as better. is going to be good to go. So everybody's going to be off-field incidents, anything like that?

No, thankfully, no off-the-field incidents, why not. I remember Stefan Diggs had an incident a few weeks back, but they pushed it back past Super Bowl, you know. The man is passionate about his food. Or maybe the check. I don't know what it was about. And nothing with Seattle. Nothing with Seattle, no. They thought one of their safeties was hurt, and then it was a mile length.

spring so yeah there's nothing to talk about there thankfully all right so before we obviously do our picks this is obviously not going to this is a shorter show because we have one game to talk about but we do want to bring in some five eight five eight five eight hey hey after this after this back surgery i'm going to be less than that um Andrew you want to come know with some props he he he suggests my doctor just looked at the MRI and he goes dude he goes I got a guy that like you have a textbook injury on that disc and I got a guy that can fix it and make you better for years. He goes, why don't you just do it? I've been just holding it off for so many years, but I'm still holding it off.

I'm continuing to lose weight and stretch. And I don't want to do back surgery until it's absolutely necessary. But hey, I'll tell you, getting out of the car today. If you would have someone got out of the car today, you would have been like, it's necessary, dude. I'm walking like, it's bad, dude. It sucks. But Andrew, what do we got for props?

Hey, dude, you too. Hey. I mean, this show, we always. you could come to anything better 10 years from now. It's going to look like this. What are we doing? You got that Mediterranean. I think you will.

I'm starting to look like a fucking lobster fisherman. Dude, I saw a guy I went to high school with, and I'm not joking around, dude. The guy looked like, some of these guys look like 60, 65 years old, dude. But what's going like? Yeah, some kids, like they age the way people used to age. Like, that guy's definitely not on social media. He just doesn't give a fuck. I think especially just in our business because, you know, you get trashed all the time.

You try to stay in shape because the second you get a little bloated, everybody's all over you. Which is great. Which is great. There's an upside to the amount that you get trashed in this business. But like when you meet somebody your age and they look your age, you're just like, God damn, dude, you didn't have to remind. It's just a reminder. It's how old we are. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. The first time that started happening to me was like I was in like, I was in like, my early 30s and I remember you know on the road I just met somebody I was thinking like you know you just think like this guy's probably a couple two three years older than me and I was in my early 30s and the guy was like 26 you know but he was like you know he was middle of nowhere 26 you know had like fucking like seven kids already a big fucking belly yeah it's like you've been driving a truck for like 50 years and somehow he was still in his 20s well the dudes that are like pushing 50 and we're always overweight, you could see. Like the guys that just never, that were always overweight.

But, Andrew, what do we have for, what do we have for some cool prop bets here? Yeah, Jake put together a few, so I'll just go down the line. You guys can react to them. Here's the first one. Hold on, that's funny what Bill said.

It's funny what Bill said because they look at you online and they let you know as a performer. They'll be like, yeah, funny clip, but I see he's eating good lately. And you're like, what the fuck? They don't even say funny clip. It happens with the athletes, too. They did like,

Hey, Bill, lay off the bread, you fat. Bill must be boozing again. Hey, Billy fat tits. It's just fucking, it's, Billy man tits. It's just fucking, it just goes and goes. They were doing it on the anniversary. And your wife's like, we're going to the gym. Getting on the ellipticals.

What did you say? It's more negative than usual. Yeah. I was just saying they were doing an anniversary for like that Miami Heat team that won 20 years ago. And like all the guys coming out. And they had all the comments. Antoine Walker came out. And he kind of gained some weight.

And all the comments like that. Dude, kind of gained some weight. I couldn't believe it was the same. I couldn't believe it was the same person though, dude. That was really. And then this, dude, the funniest thing, Eric Snow, the old Eric Snow of the early cabs with LeBron when LeBron was a kid. His teammate was Eric Snow. dude the comments

the comments that the puns they used with snow dude I'm not going to lie it was melting avalanche dude nobody nobody gets it like performance

because there's nothing attached to us so it's just open season so the coin toss so no Andrew what do we have for props buddy uh why this is the one that I had just thrown up there. Hot Star, Drake, made a complete his first five passes plus

310. Dude, completing your first five in the Super Bowl, that seems a little rough, dude. Don't like it. No, I don't like it either. Yeah, because what if he takes a deep shot early? You know, I don't like that one. What else do we got? You should have said, what if Paul Verzee's the offensive coordinator? That's a... Paul loves Paul. He's going to die on that hill. I told you, first way from scrimmage, we go deep, we got to stretch out the fucking defense. I got to tell you, though, one of the greatest things I saw, one of the greatest things I saw as a kid watching football, and I'm thinking if he was the head coach at the time, I'm probably, it was Joe Gibbs's second time. I think it was Joe Gibbs second time around, they were the Redskins at the time. And first play from scrimmage, first game opening night, and he decided.

you know what i'm going to make the dback shit their pants and he had his dude drop back and threw like a 70 yard bomb for a touchdown and they were like what and i was just like yes you know so i think that's where it got planted i could bill how many times do i text you why don't think you take a shot paulie take a shot well you're like one and done you see something and then you're like this is what they should do they should do this every time well eventually you would have tendencies so they would be expecting it. Well, maybe we should go underneath. They're giving us a 20-yard cushion.

He's got world-class speed. A double, just do a double move and just run a post. He's going to lay it out there. Defensive coordinators, defensive coordinators would have meetings about me. All right, listen, Verzi is the offensive coordinator. D-backs, play back on first down. I just love the idea of Paul getting in the huddle like, literally talking like the first play like it's the end of the game like all right guys let's put this thing away

like going deep like there was a prop built for paul in there there was uh it was like either team to score a touchdown the first play of the game i was like first play if the super bowl it'll be insane so that was this funny actually that has that happened i think that happened in like one or two super bowl super bowl's one or two super bowl's ever i think that that's happened this is super bowl fulton walker was the first guy to take a kickoff back for a touchdown i don't think he did it on the opening play though did it. I was going to say Devin Hester, Devin Hester of the Bears. This is Super Bowl 60. Oh, Devin Hester did it, the first play of the game? I don't know if it was the first play,

but it might have been. I think it was because my dad, like, I'll be there in a second. And I was like, I'll be there in a second. And I was like, he already scored. And it's like so anyway. That's when they played the Colts? Yeah. Steelers. No, that's when they played the, that's when they played the Colts and the quarterback was Rex Grossman. That's not, no, that's right. That's when the Colts made the way we covered their receivers illegal and they stole our offense and they won a fucking Super Bowl. And then they turned around and called us. Oh, that's right. That's Super Bowl. Paul. Then Paulian didn't vote for your boy or for Belichick for everybody's guy. That was crazy. I don't give a fuck. You know who finally got in? Who should have been in?

Roger Craig. I was thinking of you. Roger Craig. Jesus Christ. Thank God. Dude, I was on radio this morning in Connecticut. And I just said, what a one of, they had an NFL agent on. He's got three players in the league. I mean, he's got three players in the Super Bowl. He's got two on the Patriots and one on Seattle and he was on the radio talking and they brought the Belichick thing up and I just said the fact that Bill Belichette, this is how much of a joke

the Hall of Fame is. The fact that you know, they were like, well, you know... The Hall of Fame's not a joke. It's the people who vote for it. Well, that's what I mean, though. That's what I mean. They should be fucking kidnapped and put in a fucking room if he's not in the first fucking bad. It's sickening. I got sick.

You don't need, Paul. Paul, Paul, it's a part being successful. It's just, Paul, you have to understand. It's what's wrong with the world. Not everybody's going to be happy for you. People who are confident, people who are positive, they'll see you achieve something, Paul. They'll be happy for you and they will be inspired.

Yeah. Man-titted people that can't lay off an appetizer and eating bread past 8 o'clock at night, they're not going to be happy for you, Paul. Because he upset a couple of nerds because he was short in press conferences. Do you remember when Chevy Chase- He made it work, Paul? You know who did a first ballot fucking Hall of Fame from all of those fucking press cunts? Rex Ryan.

Rex Ryan would write the article for him. They love that guy. I'm not going up there. Kids is rig. Yeah, well, Bill Parcells. He's out there playing with his wife's feet. Yeah. He's as fat as they are.

They fucking love them. Yeah. The politics out there giving him fucking one-word answers, banging a 26-year-old. I mean, and he's got eight rings. It's... He was reminding them on all levels that they lost. Do you remember... You remember Chevy Chase in Christmas vacation

when he kidnapped Randy Quaid? When he goes, I want him right here, here, with his, you know, taken from his place and so-and-so, with a big bow. And I want to tell him what a... I just picture, like, I just want the Hall of Fame decision-maker to just be fucking in that situation. It's writers, right?

It's just like baseball. Yeah, it's a bunch of riders. Whoever the fuck it is. The Hall of Fame should have been like, guys, what are we doing? There's got to be an override of that. Yeah, it's just being automatic. If you break several records, like, we have to, you know, then consider. Well, can we get to Roger Craig?

Roger Craig was doing in the 80s. Yeah, he's great. So ahead of his time. That guy, like, dude, back in the day, I don't know if you guys remember this, you threw a fucking more than a two-yard pass to a running back. You had a 50-50 chance he was going to drop it. Like all they did was because the running game was such a big thing. You never threw it.

There was like Walter Payton. Yeah. That's why they gave it to the fullback. Yeah. They did all of that shit. And this guy came in and he was like a absolutely ferocious runner, not afraid of contact, knees high. And he could have gone in just as a running back, but he had wide receiver skills. And with that West Coast offense with Joe Montana and Bill Walsh, the guy was just, he was, dude, it's the Marlon Briscoe thing.

Marlon Briscoe was playing quarterback in the 60s. Like, you were seeing the modern day NFL. I just don't understand why. I mean, there's always going to be people that are overlooked, but Roger Craig should have been in. I'm not right to the chick from the Yankees. Roger Clemens, I'm going to do. Oh, my goodness gracious.

Oh, my goodness gracious. Of all the things I've ever seen. Yeah. That's one of my favorite calls. But he should have got in the 90s, too. He should have been in almost 30, 30 years ago. So Roger Craig was, I didn't notice, he was the first guy to record a thousand yard rushing and receiving. And receiving in the same season.

And he did it in the 80s. Yeah. He was my first memory of watching football ever. My older brother told me about the 49ers and Joe Montana. And it was the 80s. And I wasn't able to, I'm probably what, like nine years old, eight years old. And I remember Roger Craig, his socks were coming down. And they go, he ran at it.

You know, the guy that runs out of his socks, his socks would always, they say. Yeah, they said, like, by the end of the game, his socks, which were up normally to his knees, were down by his ankles. And he goes, this guy runs out of his socks. And they had number 44, who I believe was Tom. Rathman. His knees went up to, like, his shoulders. Like, you took a beating, tackling that guy.

Yeah, who was the fullback? Tom Raffman, 44? That's the second half of the 80s. I think that that's what that's what it was. Yeah. Yeah. All right, Andrew, what was the other prop you just put up? Yeah, it's not a bunch.

They're more so long shots. I mean, that's like kind of the fun. Yeah, these are just ridiculous. Will the game go to overtime plus $750? You know what, though? 10 bucks on that, you get a few hundred, you know, a couple hundred bucks, never hurt. Go ahead. What else?

That's a fun one. Five bucks, but yeah. I like that one. See, I like that one too. Yeah, because I think it's very hard inside the five-yard line. That's, yeah, that's definitely doable. Well, you got to put 200 to what? make 100?

No, 100 to make 200. 100 to make 200. I never understand. What is so plus 200? So you double your odds or you double your money. You double your bet. Oh, okay. So it's like a percentage thing.

I only do this every fucking week. Thankfully, it calculates it for you because I couldn't do it. What else, Andrew? Longest field goal made over under. Oh, dude. That's a, that's why it's under, though. That's why it's like it's almost like favorite to happen. That's a definite pair to include that one because I know that,

We talked about the juiced up balls a lot of time, and how far these guys kicked? So I was like, oh, we got to think about the over here. I feel like they backed off the juiced up balls, though. Everybody started saying, like, dude, what the fuck? And then all of a sudden it sort of backed off. But there was like a moment in the season where people were, like, fucking kicking 60 yards like it was nothing.

And I think too many people talked about it. It's like Kansas City last year. Too many people were being like the refs that helping them out. And I feel like they called the dogs off in the Super Bowl. A two-point conversion is attempted. That's a definite. I like that. I'm surprised two-point conversion in the first quarter.

I would have that those were the other. No, dude, that's a definite. I like these. These are all available, right? On bed MGM? Yeah, these are all about MGM. So these are kind of the best ones. Drake May and Sam Donald to each have 15 plus passing.

What? Okay, okay. That's weird. Yes. That's weird fucking weird Paul I'm telling you right now bury the Patriots at four and a half

The fact that that fucking line is there That seems like a joke That's like two passes they could do that Yeah like 15% I'm telling you Bill you've been right all year This is your year Take the fucking Pats

Getting four and a half If that's what fucking Vegas is looking at Because that's a sucker bet right there That's the fucking bet that everybody jumps on that hook. Are you fucking kidding me? This is going to know, this is going to be a joke. Yeah, there's plenty of quarters where quarterbacks don't throw, you know.

Oh, my God, dude. That's that low, Paul, with the defense, I'm telling you, I'm telling you, Paul. I'm telling you. Listen, Bill. This is going to be one of those. It's going to, all right, I'm going to shut up. No, no, no, no, no. You shouldn't.

You shouldn't, because here's why. If Bill, you have been, if you, if Bill Burr has not made you money this year, you're not paying attention. True. Well, in the playoffs, I crushed it. I was 50-50. Dude, you had a year. Go ahead, Andrew. What else were you?

I was getting the regular season. Billy Ross. We don't count the playoffs so bad MGM can save face. That's what we do in this podcast. You shattered every, non-quarterback to win Super Bowl MVP. I mean, Sequin Barclay did it last year, right? But who thinks Sam Donald's going to win the MVP? I just drinks it.

But I don't know. Is this? I type this kind of feels like I just this just feels like one of those quarterback games where like yeah you're going to give it to one of the two they always give it to the quarterback so somebody would have to have like one wide receiver would have to have like 200 yards or one running back yeah because you're not going to give it to a defensive player who was that was it like Randy white and Harvey Martin in the late 70s or something yeah yeah we were talking about that today

you would need like two interceptions and one for like a pick six to like win it to get that. Like. Yeah, I feel like now you'd have to do like some Dion Sanders. It's going to be Sam Donald or Drake May. Yeah, does Kenneth Walker get like 350 yards and, you know, three touchdowns? No, and you're not going to, nobody's going to run like that on the defensive line of the Patriots. It's going to be Sam Donald or Drake May for MVP. What else?

I didn't send you guys this one, but there was one. By the way, this is just real quick. just to connect to that. These are the odds for Super Bowl MVP. Sam Darnel plus 115. Drake May plus 230. Yeah. That kind of makes sense.

But they basically think it's going to be a quarterback. So break me, if I bet $100, I make $2.30? That's what you're saying? Yes. Here's another one I thought you guys would be interested in because it'd be kind of fun. I don't fucking like this. Now why is he plus $2.30?

It seems like this is what I feel like the bookies are saying. They're saying the paths are going to cover, but Seattle's going to win with that. Yeah. I think the numbers. But you have to, Paul, you got to look at these not as like what you think's going to happen.

You got to like look at this shit. Anything makes you fucking like, you know, your blood rush a little bit. You know that they're trying to get you to go that way. Why are they doing? I'm in full paranoid. Full paranoid mode.

Dude, you know what? That's the thing about having your team in it. I kind of like don't envy you guys right now because if the Giants weren't it, I'd be a wreck, a wreck. You're right, well, it'd be much better to not have you. No, no, no, no, listen. That's one way to look at it. I just mean nerve-wise. Like my, dude, my son, I'll be honest with you, my son, Lucas, dude, my wife and I, like, have to, like, move things in the house when the Knicks are in the playoffs.

Like, I don't know what he would do with the Giants, a one and done, dude. Dude, I won't watch big games that have my team in it with my kids there. Like, I just don't, I don't want them to see me like that. Dude, what is this fucking AI stupid, fucking camera doing? Can you just stop? Can you just stop fucking movie? What is it doing? It's just so that it follows you, you know?

It's for better framing. No, but I sit back at Zoom bag that came in, it came out. I'll shut the setting off on your iPad next time. So I'm, Jake, you were saying something? No, no, no, you ought to just tell. me how to do it. All right. Okay.

If you give a man a fish, you feed him for one day. I was saying the man's fucking zoom, he still doesn't know how to you. Yeah. I was just saying the method of the first turnover, being a turnover on downs at plus 300, I thought it would be fun just because we talk about all the time. These teams go for it on every port down. So that's a funny.

I was like mentioning that one. Is there a turnover prop? Is there an interception prop? What about that guy one year that he bet that someone would run out on the field and then he ran out on the field? Yeah. And he won like $8 grand and he paid like a fucking, you know, $300. I don't know what it.

Somehow the math worked out. I saw that post. That was a streaker. So what he should have done was he should have fucking had, had one of his friends bet it. He still didn't get in trouble. Like I'm surprised at Casino, because he's right there. It's like, is he cheating? It's like I didn't cheat.

I actually did it and I got arrested. Yeah. I'm not having cards, I'm in jail. Andrew, is there a turnover thing or no? That's what I'm looking at now. No. The defensive section. Yeah, it's very specific.

It'll be like, is this player going to force the turnover or whatever? But, like, that's, like, you know, that's too niche that that play is something crazy to bet on. Method of first turnover as Jake. By the way, if you're on BenMGM, certain states do not allow certain bets. So, like, this is Jersey. We're looking at Jersey. Of course we are.

Of course we are looking. I both couldn't find it early in the week. We had email and we were like, hey, and I said, I don't know, you got to set it to Jersey. I don't know any jersey. So you can see them all. God put New Jersey that close to New York so New Yorkers could feel better about their stumbags.

Yeah. Yeah, that's a good one. Well, what do you guys think is going to happen to the actual game? New York. New Jersey, new whatever, New Bedford. Anytime there's a new in it.

It's just, you know, you got to watch your wallet. That's that old, that's that old stand-up joke. New Orleans? That old stand-up joke, Chris. New Hampshire.

I don't give a fuck. Anything with new in it. Just watch yourself. Remember Chris, I saw Chris Rock at, Chris Rock at the Stress Factory when I featured that week. And Vinnie Brand told me to come and see Chris Rock that week.

And then they charged me back in the day. I'll never forget that, Vinny. I don't care if you see this. I just going to run for office. That's fantastic. He has the background for it. Chris Rock goes, New Brunswick.

He goes, I hate to see old Brunswick. It's like, that's a common, that's a known thing. All right, you know what? Let's do, we should do our picks and we'll start with Andrew and Jake. And then me and Bill, we'll finish off the, we'll finish off the season. Guys, so what we'll do now is we will do our picks for the show. We'll start with Andrew and Jake. And then Bill and I will close this puppy out and get everybody ready for the weekend.

So, Jake. We're not going to do the Pro Bowl next week? No, it was last week. It was a fucking flag football game. That's how bad it's got that it's gotten a flag football. But you know what, Jake? That's how they're finally realizing what playing the game of football does to your brain. There's no reason to do the extra.

Yeah, I'm all for that. Play, play pickleball. Just, it's so stupid. Is pickleball over? No. That's still popular. It's still popular. It was getting so much press.

Like high line. It's sort of the middle ground between ping pong, Marty Supreme, and tennis. Yeah, tennis. Thank you, John. All right, Jake, sorry, good. Jake to Snake, you have the honors. You have the honors of starting off your Super Bowl pick, buddy.

This is tough. because it's really a perfect number at four and a half. I think Seattle's probably the better team, but New England's been great all year. I love Brable. They've done a great job. So I think Bill's instincts are right. I think the NFL will want the Seahawks to win and the Patriots to cover.

So I think that's just going to happen. I'll take the four and a half of Patriots. Andrews, Amos. I'm going to go Patriots, obviously. I mean, it's pretty simple. actually feel good about this. I asked my friend of basketball last week, because also from Massachusetts, I was like, yeah, I feel pretty good. I go, and I don't just feel that way. I actually considered it. And I actually feel pretty good about this game. So, you know,

relax confidence. Yeah. I'm going to control the, I think we're going to control the most of the, I think we're going to control most of the game. So clock and at least two sides of the ball. So we go. All right, we got two Patriots. You know what, Bill? I'll let you close this puppy because you had the good year. All right, look, this game, I've been going back and forth with this in my head up until this show. I've been thinking so many different things. I think Seattle has a slightly better defense, but I don't know about the coach because the Seattle coach is two years in.

Mike Vrable is only one year in with this team, but Mike Vrable has been great everywhere he's been. So I think the coaching edge goes to the Patriots. I think there's a little more talent on the other side with Leonard Williams on the front lines of the defensive line of the Seahawks. Dude, if it was money line or a pickum, I might say Seattle. I just, oh my God, I'm going to change my pick. I thought that it was, I thought I was going to sit on this show today and say Seattle. I really did. But you know what?

I think Seattle can win the game and might win the game. I just think it would be by three if they did. So I'm going to take the New England Patriots getting four and a half points. I have to take the points. So there you go. I'm taking the underdog for the Super Bowl. All right. I like that you said if it was three.

I think three is a push. I feel like Seattle is the better team athletically at all the positions. And I think we have the advantage at the coaching level. And I think we're going to do the classic Belize. check thing, whatever their strength is on offense, we're going to take it away. Everybody does that now. Broncos did that to us last, you know, in the AFC championship game. I think this is going to, like, how the Patriots win is we have to out-coach them. That's what's going to, we have the coaches to do that. And I am a Patriots fan. So do not bet by what I say here, because this is

all passion. I love the Patriots. I think not only are they, I think even if we lose the game we cover, but I think, you know, in my heart of hearts, we're going to out-coach them and we're going to win. Like, that's what I want to have happened. So I can't even, I almost have to, like, remove myself from this argument, dude. It's my team in the Super Bowl. But all I'll say is I'm going to take the Patriots four and a half, but Seattle's a fucking great team. And I love watching Sam Darnold getting all this shit and all of this stuff. And then finally getting with the team that knows what they're doing.

doing because everybody's talking about, oh, the Patriots. Oh, my God, they're back there soon. Hey, so Seattle. Seattle wasn't, they didn't go away for that long either. So I think these are both great organizations. And like I said, I think that they have, they have better players at some key positions. We can hang with them. And what's going to level us out is Brable.

And Josh and all those guys are going to out coach him. And then we're definitely going to cover. But as far as if we win. dude, whether we win or not, it's a flip-a-coy. But I can tell you, though, if it wasn't my team, I would still take the four-and-a-half. I love four-and-a-half. If it was three, I would just be like, that's what they should have put it at. They should have put it at three, and Vegas would have cleaned up because it would have been a push.

I think it's going to come right down to the end. Don't think it goes into overtime, though. Yeah, and if it went up, if it went up to six, I'd put both Lexuses on it. I would put the whole house on it if it went up to six. And haven't said that, dude, I don't know what is with Seattle. battle fans. Like they are, the Mariners fans are cool. Crackin fans are cool. Back in the day, went to the Sonics, they're cool. I don't know what this, this, like, comic con shit is that they do when they go to games, this, like, I shouldn't just say them, but like the level of

dressing up, there was, back in the day, there was always one idiot who did it. And it was fun, because it was just like, that guy's out of his fucking mind. Now it's like entire sections. I feel like it started with the dog pound. Grown men eating dog. biscuits. Well, don't forget, though, the Raiders dress up like Darth Vader and shit. Oh, no, they completely lost their way. When I watched them in the 70s, dude,

they pan to the crowd. It looked like the fucking Hells Angels were in there. Like, they were really intimidating then. They were just like, cigarette smoking fucking looting. And I don't imagine just thinking, like, dude, Oakland's got to be one of the toughest places in the world. Like, even like Ken Stable, until you heard him

talk, because he had a hot, pitch voice, kind of had the twang. But like, when you just saw him with that fucking white beard and stuff. It's like he looked like their leader. Like he should have come in with the ape arms chopper. And then somewhere, now that they're like dressed in like Darth Vader and Boba Fett and Chubaca and they have like names for their characters. It's sad.

It's sad. It is. Like, Jesus Christ, take that shit off and go talk to a woman. Turn your life around. Dude, imagine what it would feel like to put the Chewbacca head on. and then just go like into your seat. Yeah, then you lose by 40. Yeah.

I don't care if you're winning. I also feel there's a different aspect to this. I feel like this game, I do feel like there's a little more pressure with Seattle. I feel like the Patriots could play a little more free. And I feel that this whole week I was like Seattle. Seattle's going to win. Seattle's going to win. And then something in me was like, no, dude, I don't know.

So I think it's the points, but it should be a great game. We hope that you guys enjoy the game. As a matter of fact, he had a jersey and a fireman helmet. That's the far as you need to go. You start borrowing your wife's makeup, Paul. You've got to have that moment. Like, what am I doing? No, it's nuts.

It's nuts. You're not in Queens. Like, what are you doing? Exactly. Taking your shirt. No. Just watching the show over and over. Well, guys, the whole show picked New England with the points.

There you go. This is the last show of the year. No, it isn't. We'll come back in August. It's the last show of the season. Paul, you're like, you already have me sad like the game's over. Don't do this. Hey, Bill, Bill.

It's a dog and pony show. A horse and pony show. What did I say? No, yeah, you go. It's a horse and pony show. And I just go, I just, Bill just goes, Paul. It's dog and pony show. No, I said, no, I go, it's pony and dog.

Then I found out it was dog and pony. Like, I don't know. And what does that even mean, by the way? It used to be back when the circus came to town. That was part of, that there's actually, I looked it up to find that out. And there's an actual flyer that had dog and pony show where, I mean, that that was like, dude, this was like entertaining. You're churning your own butter. Your closest neighbor was four miles away.

You basically married the first woman you saw. Yeah, I'll do. Whether she wanted to or not, as far as some of the history books talk about. Do my grandparents. Somebody was actually coming to town. And there was a fat lady singer. They had dogs and ponies. and they do tricks?

Oh my God. Dude, you're sitting in the middle of nowhere, whittling a stick. No online porn, Paul. No, I Googled it too. I googled horse and pony, and that's just when you go somewhere and there's horses and ponies to, like, rhyme.

I've been reading this Mark Twain biography that came out recently, is churn off. He does these really in-depth biographies. They're really good. And, yeah, just listening, reading Twain, going to these places and sending these letters back to America

that these people had never heard or seen any of this shit and it's like the world was so big then and yeah like like you said like just what people experience like oh my god a dog and pony shows coming to town like and you hear about it it's like yeah it sounds like a blast

yeah it's great fucking hilarious I remember I still can't find it. They had a collection of his short stories. I read it when I was in L.A. in the late night. I'm reading this one while I'm reading the other book, because as I go through time, I want to actually read the stuff that he's reading. So this is the one I'm reading now.

This is Tales, Speeches, Essays, and Sketches. But the actual one that he wrote while abroad was called The Innocence Abroad or the New Pilgrim's progress. But, yeah, that I'm going to start reading next week. I can't remember the name of the one that I was reading. Paul. It was a collection of his short stories. And he was talking about wherever he was. was how fucking stupid the people were.

I was reading a book laughing out loud. And at that point, the book was like 90 years old. Wow. Yeah, no, dude, that guy is like one of, uh... What year did he die? Like early last century, I think 20s, 19... Lloyd, chill out.

I think he died. It'd be funny if there's actually an axe murder around him. 1910. All right, you know, I tried. Did you hear George Wallace's... You told me to show out! Did you hear George Wallace's dude George Wallace did that was on a radio show and he just he made me burst out laughing
