Comedian Paul Verzi Talks What’s Unacceptable In The NFL

out in Turkey. It's been so fun so far. We've been here exactly a week and I'm kind of sleeping through the night. The jet labb is still hit me a little bit, but boy, I'm so grateful to be able to do this show once a week that I love. I love getting talked to it with you, Janice the Tucklet Americana with my Greek co host. You're in Connecticut, our producers are in California. What a time to be alive, right,

It's It's incredible we're able to do this. Honest, I think you really need to set up some shows here next year. I think Turkish people have a great sense of humor. They keep laughing at me. What's the comedy scene like in Turkey? Do you know? Well? I bet you it doesn't involve any Greeks. I'll tell you that we have what you call a little bit of a history. It's a friendly vendetta. It's a rivalry. But you know what, Yeah,

I would love to come there. I found out I have some Turkish DNA and me, so you know, I don't mind. I'm over it. I'm an American, but you know the Greek, the Greek and Turkish, it's real skis them. It runs deep, it runs. Yes. So they may not come see you and buy tickets to your show, but I would. And you have an open invitation in a bedroom with your name on it if you all want to come. Look, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. And Janice, I'd like to give you an early Christmas gift.

Your friend and another great comedian, Paul Versey, will be joining us on the show today. You know, you don't even really have to prepare this week, which makes this week really different than every other week. Right. Shots fired? Wow? Wow, shots? How can you do that to me? You know? I just got the booster shot. You know, I got a hundred fever. I'm down it out. I got my hat on today because my hair is all over the place because I've been laying in bed and now you shoot

me in the back. Olivia, I can't trust you. I love you, but I can't trust you. Maybe that's why you're You're just looking so vulnerable right now. I'm just gonna go ahead and take some shots while I got him. But Paul Versey is going to be incredible. I'm so excited he's here this week. You talked about him all the time. I know you guys are neighbors. I know you spend a lot of time together. He's an amazing comedian.

He really knows his sports and does the rounds on Network TV talking sports, so he's the perfect guest for the show. He also has a podcast with Bill Burr called Anything Better And Honestly, if there's anyone who loves the Giants, Nicks, and Yankees more than you, it might be him. So we've got to talk to New York Sports right. Absolutely, he does love the Knicks and Giants more than me. I think Giants we may be equal in love. But the Knicks. I jumped off the Knicks

bandwagon in ninety nine. I look at them like an ex girlfriend. I'm traumatized by them. I blocked them on social media. They've broken my heart. They hurt me. I'm over it. I am a Utah Jazz fan now and I am a Kevin Harland fan like me. Like me and Kevin Harland, we can enjoy any game. We're impartial. Yeah, no, you're right. And that was a great throwback to last week and he was talking all about that. I've even been to a Knicks game with you this year, and

you're right. You're not a Knicks fan, so I can confirm that. Hey, guess what you know who I'm a fan of right now? The Turkish Shishka Bab's whatever team Sam is playing on. That's the team that I'm rooting for. I'm rooting for the Donors, Bosha shere, the Bosha shere, the Babas. I'm all in Sam's plan. That's right root for. You're loyal. You're loyal, my friend, take a hint. You should be loyal to me. Last week in the NFL was a real treat that was kind of like an

early Christmas present. A great slate of games, but then it really just had fun results. And since I'm already up at four am with jet lag over here, I really didn't miss much. There were so many crazy comebacks last weekend, starting Thursday with the Viking Steelers game. Vikings were at zero and they really had a fight for that win. So that kind of kicked off the weekend right. And you know what else, zero teams have clinched a

playoff spot with four weeks left in the season. That's the first time this has happened since and that's all because the Cardinals last Monday night, so that game had a lot of implications. So still no one to clinch their playoff spot. That's incredible. Another week we go. I can't believe it's week fifteen of the NFL season. They're just three more weeks of regular season games. We'll get some betting advice from Peter Andrew later on in the show.

Speaking of betting a vice, the Army Navy game hit the ender again for the sixteenth year in a row. That's absolutely crazy. If only betting every game was this easy, it's certainly not. I will tell you I would love to make it to one of those games one year. That's a bucket list item. I also want to ask Paul Versey. He's been to everything. I want to ask him what the best sporting event he's been to yet, because it's all about atmosphere, you know what I mean? Honest,

what's the best sporting event you've been to? You've been to a lot as well. Yeah, I would have to say. I'll go back on what I said before. I was at the Larry Johnson four point play game in the Knicks the Knicks playoffs, and the energy and there was electric. I almost fainted because I was cheering so hard the place was shaking. That was probably the best moment of

any sporting event I ever went to. I thought you were gonna save your life, and I'm really glad you didn't know the best two moments of my life when the Giants beat the Patriots still not the answer. I was looking for my baby's birth. Um that I would say, the two giant upsets in the Super Bowl and then the fourth is starting this podcast with you, those are the best moments of my life. I need to have a talk with your wife, Brittany. We're gonna work on

that order. You know something also cool. That happened this weekend. And my husband made me aware of this. He's kind of a sports nerd. I have to whisper that because you can hear me. But there was something called a score a gami on Sunday. It's when an NFL score has never happened before. Jannese, have you heard of a score a gamy? Never? Okay, I'll see you're not nerdy enough.

So the Chiefs forty eight to nine win over the Raiders was the fifth one this year actually, so for nine has never been a score before in the NFL. Think of all the years in the NFL, and it's a score of gamy. Another one that's the second time the score has ever happened is the Packers win over the Bears. There's thirty. Now that score doesn't seem it's it's a high score, but it doesn't seem like crazy numbers to me. Anyways. That's the only second time that

score has happened. So now you know what a score of gami is. Be honest. Yeah, I heard forty to thirty. I thought you were talking about the age difference between me and my wife. Oh that was good. You always keep me on my show on this show. Okay, Now, in the spirit of giving bet MGM wants to reward you loyal listeners and betters with the seven days of Parlays, So check out on social media. They lay it all out because every day is a different giveaway. Check it out.

This is your chance to win back some money that you were spending recklessly on holiday gifts. To make sure you check it out. Now, it's time for us to sound off on one topic we feel passionately about this week. You know the deal, Janice, it's time to unleak. It's time to lea Okay, I know we are always showing love to the great young players in the NFL, and rightfully so. Mac Jones, Micah Parsons, Jamaar Chase, Naji Harris.

They're all amazing. There are some of the rookies making an impact of this season, but let's put some respect on some of the journeyman players out there still doing their thing as well, or fringe guys. It's a horrible name given to players who maybe weren't drafted but got put on a training camp, roster, practice squad. They're waved a year, signed there, waved there out of the league

in the league. It's a really hard lifestyle trying to make it in what you love, especially when you feel like it's right there in front of you and all the time you're you're getting that hope up. Well. Now there are a couple of players thriving, especially this past weekend who fit that description. It's the Packers were stoled Douglas and the Buccaneers bray Shodd Perriman brisse Well. Douglas had two pick sixes, one versus the Bears this weekend. He's been great. He was the pick in the draft.

This is his fourth team, most recently on the practice squad of the Cardinals, Raiders and Texans. The Texans he wasn't good enough to make those rosters, but yet good enough to be a huge part of this Super Bowl bound team my opinion. Aaron Rodgers even said we got him off the street, and it's not totally inaccurate. He was out of the league, just cut by the Cardinals

and they picked him up. It was incredible. Bray Shod Periman cut by teams to questered practice squads and now he had the winning touchdown in overtime for Tampa Bay over the Bills. A fifty eight yard touchdown catch from Tom Brady after being targeted just once in the whole game. It was an incomplete pass in the second quarter. He just signed a month ago. In one alone, he was cut by the Lions and the Bears assigned to the Buccaneers practice squad this year brought up to add some

depth to the receiver position with Antonio Brown suspended. And also that touchdown Pasty Cop was Tom Brady's seven hundred, so that was a pretty cool piece of history that he got to be a part of. And a huge shout out to Ram's offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth defined father Time and becoming the first tackle to start an NFL game at forty years old. That's incredible. At forty years old, I know it's hard enough to get out of bed. He had a lone block, three pound lineman, right, He

on us absolutely. I mean the miracle science can help you with now they're all just on Ivermectin. It helps. So I just wanted to unleash on that. I think it's a beautiful story. These guys can have big impacts late in your NFL career. Even I truly believe when you're good enough to be at that level in some capacity you are in the NFL, and some capacity it's really about fit. It's about one person seeing something in you. And look, the best ability is availability, you know. It's

that that kind of old adage. So it's just really cool to see. There's so many stories like those, but those are two I wanted to highlight. Yeah, and nobody better at finding those players than Bill Belichick. And just like what I think it was our Dwayne Bow episode where he really emphasized that, like you just said, whereever you end up may not be where you're well fit

to play. You know, like you did, the team that you play for is just as important as your talent, it seems in football because it's such a team game and the system has to be right for you. And so that was an excellent unleash Your unleashed are excellent. Say the plural of unleashed one more time, unleashed your unleashed? Oh man, alright, my turn? Before I unleashed, I just want to say, whoever bet on Juliana Penya this last weekend to upset Amanda noon has congratulations, you made a

lot of money. Was a hell of a UFC card. Fun to watch one of the biggest upsets maybe in UFC history, where she beat the unbeatable Amanda noon Az was really fun, great moment for female combat sports. And uh, the lomon Chenko fight was good. I was going back and forth. No big surprise there he pounded. Call me now it's time for me to unlead. It's time to unleash. I'm in the Christmas sparit. Okay, I'm a Christmas guy. It's the big man's birthday. Santy Claus is in the

North Pole. And by Santa Claus, I mean Jeff Bezos. He's up there in space. He's the real Santa Claus delivering gifts in paper boxes to all of us. And him and Michael Strahan and his gap between his teeth or made it to the made it to space in their back safely, thank God. Because I don't want any interruptions on Christmas. Here's my problem with Christmas, Olivia. Okay, and I'm unleashing that on Christmas, but not because of Christmas.

I am unleashing on Christmas not being longer. Christmas needs to be longer. It is such a fun holiday. It brings out the best in all of us. It converts Ebenezer scrooges. It makes us all feel good. The lights, the smell of pine, the mistletoe, the egg nog. You know, it's just too much. The Christmas carols. I love it so much. I wanted to be longer. It's not long enough. I would love to run for president and just say, hey, I'm making Christmas us all of December, all of January,

and all of February. Okay, we need to put lipstick on those pigs that are those two months January and February. You need some makeup your cold, your dreary. There's no charm to you. There's no like days where they're sporting events. We should extend every season, you know, the football should be playing every day every day. They should play every day in January and February, so it's like an event.

And every team should have to give the worst team their best player as a Christmas gift to get into the holiday spirit. All right, The Jews had it right. They do eight days of Hanakkah. Why do we only do one day of Christmas? All right? All right, let's do something. How about like maybe a secret Santa style for Major League Baseball. Each team picks another team out of a hat and then boom on Christmas Day, they each have to give their secret Secret Santa team a player.

We'll do that. Of course, all the players would have to fall within about a five million dollar a year budget to be fair. But then we have a big Christmas Day special of all the teams opening their Secret Santa gift. Now that's how you make baseball interesting. Combine it with Secret Santa. Just call me Yanni Claus because I'm all about spreading the Christmas spirit as long as we can. Let's go to August. Am I not right, Olivia?

Well there's a lot to digest. I love how you say there's no big sporting event day in January February, but there is the super Bowl. It's not enough. We need a super Bowl every day, every day. Okay. Yeah. I want to be able to bet on presents, like what you're gonna get Sama, What Sam's gonna get you? Yeah? What you're gonna get me? I assume you got me a present? Yeah? No, And it's on its way to it might be a little delayed here from Turkey. No,

you know what Sam got me? And as a parent, you'll really appreciate this, you know, we had to do Christmas early before we left. He got me the snow. Do you know what the snow is? No? Oh, it's apparently crack for your newborn. It's this super fancy little bassonet that moves gently and can. It has a microphone in it so it hears and your baby cries and then moves more and anyway, So that was like the best Christmas gift I ever got. But I don't know.

It's it's a lot of pressure getting your spouse a gift, don't you think, yes, And now you're gonna find that you just don't matter anymore. I mean, Sam may even forget to give you gifts. In fact, this is the first gift that wasn't really for you. It's kind of for the family. You know. He might be right, Yeah, this gift for him too. Now I'm looking at him kind of literally, your days of coach bags are over, a girl. No. I already picked out my push present, though,

so that maybe that may be my last give. Be honest, I really liked your Unleashed. I got nervous when you said that you were going to unleash on Christmas, But now I think I kind of get Yes, it needs to be longer. That was good, my friend. You know I want to add to this fun I think we need a third voice in here, some one who's gonna keep cracking me up because this just is too much. And I don't care what time we record this in Turkey, because I would stay up all night for you, my friend.

Let's bring in your friend, Paul Versey. Let's go verse now. Let's bring in our guest. He is a friend of the MGM family and actually a better friend of our very own Jannas Pappas. They are neighbors, their dogs, get along, their families get along. His podcast with Bill Burr is called Anything Better. He's a very funny comedian who's special. I'll say this is available now for free until December. You know you're not doing anything. You gotta go to

watch that. Paul Versey is here. Paul, Welcome to the show up guys, thanks for having me. I can't wait to uh chop it up with with friends sports. It's the holidays, Let's go. I'm excited. Let me just ask you, just Paul, I just unlead done. How Christmas has to be longer? How much of a fan of Christmas are you? Christmas to me is it's it's the greatest thing that's maybe ever happened to people to me for sure, Like, first of all, Christmas eve Day is the absolute Michael

Jordan's of holidays because it's the anticipation. It's just everybody's home, You're with family, the red wine is flowing, the Christmas cookies are out, the Christmas music is on, You've got Christmas vacation on or l for home alone. The kids are happy, everybody's off. I mean, what is better than that? The Big Man's coming too town. It's that's it for me. I love how you say that Christmas is the best

thing to happen to humans. I think those who celebrate Christmas literally believe that that that's when our Savior came. That it's literally the best thing that happen to humans. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so yes, well it holds true as far as I'm concerned. It's also a pretty sweet day of basketball, so that's always nice as well. It is a great day of basketball, although I will say Christmas Day is a little bit of a downer after around noon lunch. I totally agree.

It's the it's the three where you're really really up. Then the morning of the is awesome. But then then you kind of lay around and that's kinda that's kind of it. So that's why Christmas. Yeah, there's kind of a December blues. I feel like it's it's kind of I'm I'm with you. It's like a Sunday. The Christmas Day is almost like a Sunday night after like four o'clock. You know. Yeah, it's like coming down off a coke bend. There you got what. You can't go through high? It

brings you too low? I mean, what can you do? That's how Christmas gets people high naturally, it's a joyous occasion. And then of course the crash is gonna be bad. It's the cocaine holidays. Put it this way, this is what Christmas eve. This Picture this for a second and ask me, answer me this question. What's better than this? Okay, if you're sitting in a chair, recliner, in your couch,

you've got a fire on slippers. I don't know if you like slippers, but if you got slippers, just the visual of slippers and a fire together, seeing the slippers with fire, and then something on TV holding a Scotch or a bourbon with like Christmas music in the background. What's better than that? On December around like seven thirty at night. I mean, there's nothing better than that. I'll tell you it's better than that. What's that your credit

card statement from the month before? Yeah, but money doesn't matter to me. You know that, your honest. My wife doesn't like it because I'm well, this is the problem with money with people that people don't understand is we're all gonna die. We're all dead, nobody. I don't save money. I don't save money like I save enough money to like, obviously you need money for bills, but just go like I look at it like this, Olivia. If you want to buy something, just go buy it. If you're like,

but it's a little just go buy it. Go buy it and enjoy it. Because we're all gonna die. I don't care about saving money. I'm going to enjoy my life. Don't worry about the credit card statement. It's not even real real money. You pay it back when you can on your time. You know. The great poet Drake said, when I die, I put my money in the grave. And I think that's kind of the vibe you're going for. I think that's great. So specially around the holidays. People

need to channel that energy. Paul. Yeah, that's you know, it's like the Whiz Khalifa song. You know when I'm gone. That's just another great poet. All these prolific, prolific people. I just want to say, that's a comedian. He's not a financial advisor, So don't listen to anything he says. You do know your sports, and you have been beating up Bill on your podcast when it comes to the betting line. I mean, what's your record right now? No, No,

here's the thing. Here's the thing. I gotta give credit where credits due. I was beating Bill. So Bill Burrn I do anything better. And what we do on our NFL preview week for bet MGM, as we pick four games each against the spread. There's none of this just picking a winner. Okay, a lot of these TV shows, a lot of these analysts just pick a winner, which is I mean, that's that's easier. And what are we talking about here? We're going against the spread four games

each every week. I was beating Bill for most of the beginning of the season of Bill had a four and old week. I had a one in three week. So then he took the lead. So here's the deal. He's above me right now two and a half games, but we are both killing it against the thing. I am two games above five d after week fourteen, and Bill is four and a half games above five, So I'm twenty nine and twenty seven. I just got a message today saying thank you guys. Um, you guys are

making me money off of bet MGM. So it's been going good man. I've been hovering around five hundred, but I pushed above it now, so doing pretty good. Wow. And he took the Rams Monday night, right, that must have helped. Well, No, he took the I almost went head to head with him. I didn't touch the game, but he took the Cardinals, and I needed the Rams to win. But I liked the Rams until I heard about the COVID. That scared me when Ramsey was out with COVID, and then I was like, oh, the Cardinals

may do this. But then it was just great. Plus that front four with Um, Aaron Donald and Aaron Donald They're just they were. They were coming after him last night and Stafford looked amazing. So I gained a game on Bill. So now he's up only two and a half on it. We got four weeks to go, so we'll see nice. Well. One of your big parts of sports fandom is obviously geographically base. For both of you guys,

you're huge New York sports fans. So something I've always wondered as a Midwesterner, where we know by birth what team you're rooting for, how do you guys choose what team you root for? Giants are Jets, Mats or Yankees, Nicks or Nets, Islanders or Rangers. It's confusing. What's your origin of New York fandom? I think for me it was I think in New York with all the voices, like you said, it's that sweet spot of being in like second, third, and fourth grade. Who's ever winning during that?

So like, But for me, my parents were like, we gotta take him to a baseball game. And all I knew was the Mets because six I'm like eight years old, so I'm like, oh, the Mets, and somebody goes not at a if you take him to his first baseball game, you have to take him to Yankee Stadium. And then I walked into Yankee Stadium, I saw Donnie Baseball, don Mattingly. It was a rat and then in six to New York Giants beat the Broncos in the Super Bowl. I

was at a Super Bowl party with my dad. I saw that, and then the Knicks was pretty much all you had in New York. So for me, it was like those were the teams that were kind of on TV at eight years old, and you just lock in. So that for that was how it happened for me. Yeah, I think you either gravitate towards the winner, the favorite, or you gravitate towards an underdog, like a horse and like a racehorse. So I went with the Yankees. I went with the Yankees, even though when I was growing

up they weren't doing rate. I went with the pedigree Mets is a Queen's is just a confusing loser borrow. So I grew up in an era where we just made fun of queens, and I wanted no part of queens. You know, Bronx was cool with hip hop. So I just went to New York all the way and I got Donnie Baseball's autograph. My friend out of the way to get Donnie Baseball's don matting Lee's autograph. Every year, I would cover it with nail polish, that's how you

protected every year covered with nail poloshy. What yeah, and then I clear nail polished clear aipologies how you protect the signature? Wow, did not know that. I did not know that either. But it's funny that Jann has said that because it once you became a Yankee fan in the eighties, Donnie Baseball, Don Mattingly was really all that

they had and he was great. He was like m VP candidate I believe in in seven he had a but like he was it so for us to go see number twenty three Don Mattingly at Yankee Stadium, it was like God for us, like because because they weren't winning, so it was just him. Yeah yeah, man, Okay. Then is he on your Mount Rushmore of New York athletes current and past. I don't know if I could say Mount Rushmore because so much has come after him, like Mariano and Jeter and there's been so many other ones.

But he's on my Mount Rushmore of childhood heroes like what got me into it? Because when you're a little kid, there's the impression. So as far as the impression, Donnie Baseball is definitely on that. But total Mount Rushmore in New York. I think I would have to go Jeter Mariano Ewing, and then the other one is I mean, I don't know, I'd have to think of the other one. Who would you say? Honest? I mean Derek Jeter, Derek Jeter,

I mean the guy. What people don't know is the guy went on a crime spree in New York during his his tenure, but nobody knows about it because the cops won't report it, especially around playoff time. So New York protects the captain Jeter, I mean the guy. He was breaking into stores, he was assaulting people, and you never hear a word about it because New York fans loyal. Jeter is the king in New York. I would offer my own wife if I needed to. Now I believe that, Yeah, Paul.

Sometimes I don't know if you honest is being sarcastic or not? Like that story, don't know if that's sarcastic or not. Is No, that's that's not true, Olivia. He wasn't committing crimes. The cops let it go because how good he is. But you know what's funny is I got that because I'm Sicilian and Greek. But be honestly. Yeah, but the Sicilian in me like, like he just joked and said, like I give my wife to Jeter just

because that's where I draw. I can't like that. I don't care if it's Jeter, whoever it is, married me. Don't disrespect me like that, right, Yeah, what just happened. There was Olivia from the Midwest. I was clearly making a joke about Peter like murdering people, and she was like, that's that's how I heard it is in New York City. I mean it's a dangerous place. I've been hearing. I

can't walk alone at night anymore in New York. That's why. Yeah, that's my mid West people are fucking great because they're pure. You know, they're like Christmas, you know what I mean, Like Midwest people don't see him and this this is something that really bothers me. This is something that really bothers me because I think that these people are kind

of unhappy pieces of ship. It's these people that tell their kids Santa is not real, just because you know, these people that are just like and I think it's more of like a snooty maybe East Coast, you know, Midwest is like Christmas it's Christmas. We're gonna go skating on the pond. We're gonna get the family together and we're gonna go ice skating on the pond and Santa Claus and you'll figure it out when you figure it out.

These people that are like, let's just tell them, let's just tell them, it's not I don't want them to have these things. Those people are unhappy. It's a projection of their unhappiness. And I can't stand it. And when I think of people in the Midwest, like Olivia, I picture your parents putting a scarf on you, walking you out to a pond. There's music, everybody's got a Christmas hat on, and it's America and people are having a good time and knowing it. Jude, I gotta tell you something.

I was eight years old and my stepfather looked at my mother and he goes, let's just tell him, this silly Santa is not real. I remember where you're standing. I looked at him with a blank look on my face. My mother looked at him, kind of upset by the way. He's a he's a he's a great guy. He'd be upset if he heard me say this. He's a great guy, like I got a great relationship, you know, but j

honest knows my stepfather a good guy. But looking at an eight year old and going, hey, it's just not really, It's like, you can't do that. And I feel like you grew up in a place where it hangs on a little longer, which is America and is better in my opinion. And I love New York. Yeah, you know, I listen in New York. There's a lot of people that still don't do that. But there is that thing where people are like, just tell them you don't want them going to school. It's a fantasy. I don't like

that ship. Now in the Midwest, your parents aren't going to tell you anything like that. You have to go to your friend whose parents let them watch R rated movies because yours don't, and you have to ask him everything from his Santa to reel and anything about the human body. So that where you need a Haley Bubblets. Who is that friend? His parents let him do anything, and she basically told me, Sanna's not real and you know, look down you'll find this. So that's that's what Haley

Bubblets is are good for. Um, Okay, I've got to ask, when you comedians are together, I imagine it either really turns off or it gets dialed up a hundred, whether you're talking about whether or sports. When there's a group of two or more of you together, what's just the level of conversation, Like, I won't hang out with a comedian that's always on. If me and your honors are

sitting down and shooting a ship, we're just talking. We'll talk about a movie, we'll talk about sports, we'll laugh and say some funny things or do like naturally, like we'll give a naturally honest, funny analogy and the other one would go, oh, that's it is like that. But we're never I could never be around I mean, I know Johanna's probably knows some people. I'm not going to mention names, but there are certain comics that when you go around it could be exhausting. It's like always on

and talking and trying. It's like, I can't be part of this is being away from it, like yeah, like you know, that's why we're in the country. Like I'm not I'm not part of a you know, comedian poker game. I'm not doing that. I'm not doing like that because then everyone tries to like, want have you ever been on a podcast be honest where there's five comedians, It's like everyone's just leading to say they're funny that you can't even get a good dialogue in. So so I

don't like that. Yeah, it's like you want to get as far away from work as possible when you're not working, So like, yeah, even if you're to be honest with you, some comedians are pretty tough hanks. They're not that funny in real life, and then you see them on stage and they're real funny. But you know, it is true. A lot of comedians are huge sports fans, and we do argue all the time about sports. What would you say is like one of the biggest comedian sports argument

that always happens is that Jordan Lebron et cetera. I would yeah, I would say it definitely ends up being basketball. I remember one real funny one. This is a funny story. We were at the Stand, the Old Stand in New York City and it was honest, I don't know if you were there, but we were talking about can the Spurs. This is about three years ago. This is when Clay Thompson was healthy Steph Draymond. This is when the Warriors were on their run, and they did win it this year.

This actually was the year. I think they won seventy three games. And somebody at the table goes, they didn't. They didn't. I'm starting to cut you up. But they didn't win it that year. They lost that year. Okay, so then this was the year they wanted. So this might have been. It might have been a year before that. And I remember we're back there talking, but this was their run. This was like on their run. And I remember somebody going, I think, man, I think the Spurs

could take them out. I think the Spurs could take them out. And I was like, na, man, I know the Spurs are good, fundamentally sound, well coach, They're not gonna beat this team. And Judah Friedlander, for the people that know Judah Friedlander walks in and he's a big basketball fan. People may know him from thirty Rock, the World champ. He he walks in and he just goes because he's a basketball guy. He goes, WHOA, what's this argument about? I go, Judah, gun to your head. Gun

to your head. Because that's a big New York He's called gun to your head. Okay, who wins in a series? Right now with the teams the Warriors of the Spurs, and Judah just goes, whoa, whoa, whoa, why is there a gun involved? It was so perfect, But like, yeah, we get into like we get into sports conference. I would say, honest, it's probably ends up being basketball, right just because there there's five on five. It's different than

football or baseball when there's so many players. I think when it's five on five, you get the Lebron, the Jordan, the staff. I think it's an easier argument. Yeah, yeah, And I just want to say the Spurs the way during that run with Duncan, Geno, Blee, and Parker, I feel like Day probably run their offense the same way Olivia is gonna run her family just fundamental, a lot of back cuts, lot of bounce passes, very organized. She's like Popovich. She's not letting any bullshit happen. If you

funk up your bench, That's what I feel like. How you're gonna run. You're like the Popovich of Mother's. Yeah, and if anyone slows me down, ask me a question about how I'm doing it and what I'm gonna change. I'm gonna give him one word answers just like top of it. Exactly, yeah, exactly. Yeah, you're gonna be like Belichick in the press conference. Yeah, no more or less that I'm going to put on as much weight and wear a hoodie. I will also be looking like check. Okay.

A lot of your fans know that your whole thing is about stuff you find unacceptable in sports, and I love it. It's funny, it's refreshing. What are some things right now that you find so unacceptable in sports that I find unacceptable? Now? Yeah? Oh well, you know, I think what's unacceptable is what kids in this generation like looks at as acceptable. Yeah, Like, I think that basketball is not be played right right now? Basketball is you know,

I'm listen. I'm a die hard Nicks. I loved last season. This season was going great, to this whole kemball Walker thing. But basketball has become a three point shoot contest. And I see it with my son and his friend. Basketball is whose team is gonna hit you know, sixteen to nineteen threes in a game, and it's gonna be these high scoring games stuff like that. Another thing that's unacceptable

is you know, the pylon teams. You know. I heard something today that said, Lebron James, who knows he might not stay a Laker at the end of his career. Look what Cleveland's doing now because Cleveland has started to the Cavaliers are having this unbelievable run. What if Lebron finished off and went there. It's like, it's always a guy going to a good situation. It's always ah, it's shooting from half court now playing with your friends now where it used to be like, no, you were either

a Laker a Celtic. You wanted the fight, So that kind of sucks. Baseball is slow and needs to pick up, so that's unacceptable. And the Giants offensive line since you know two thousand and sixteen, so those are my do you follow that? College football? Every year we go to a big game, so we like, we went to Death Valley one year, We went to the Big House a few years ago. We saw Notre Dame and USC under the lights a few years ago. Yeah, I loved seeing

Michigan beat Ohio State. I'm sorry if you're a Buckeye fan, but I loved seeing that just because I know people who are Buckeye fans who talk a lot of shit. They're intolerant, and it's like they're like the equivalent of like an arrogant cowboy fan. I know cowboy fans that are great, like like Yankee fan. Yankee fans and Cowboy fans are the same as Some of the fans are like great and respectful and love the history and the tradition, and then there are these arrogant meat head yelling dumbest

shit possible thinking they know things. So when Michigan won, I liked it. What you and Burn when you used to go in the robal Burr all the time, you guys would always go to like a big sports event, like whatever was in town. In fact, sometimes Bird did his touring schedule around what was going on. He goes like, oh, there's a big you know, I want to go to the Formula one or whatever it is. Formula one is in Italy, but you know what I mean, he wants to go to this thing, and so he would book

a show in that town because it's such a massive. Yeah, I don't know why I thought a Formula one I got. I just had the booster. I just had the booster. I got a hundred four fever, And I like how it just it's only performed in Italy, which is not true. We actually did go to Formula one in Montreal, so we didn't do that. Yeah, and there was just one in Texas. Oh yeah, I'm a stupid, stupid, stupid man. But you're vaccinated and you're boosted. It's okay if you're

a little stupid. Honest, what is going on with your camera? You look like you're held hostage by the Taliban Right now, you're about to lead a letter to your family. My wife is probably scrolling on the British Big Show recipes and has slowed down. Yeah, so he would pick an event, a big sporting event, and he would he would book a show there. What was one of like or a few or telling us some stories. What was one of

the most amazing things you went to. One of the most amazing things we went to was two thousand and ten. We performed at the Punchline in Atlanta, and then we drove to Augusta and we went to the Masters and it was the Sunday and Tiger was back after all this stuff that happened with him. It was his first major back. I think it might have even been his first tournament back. Phil Mickelson wanted that Sunday we were standing right there on eighteen. But when you walk into Augusta,

this is not an exaggeration. I'm not trying to be funny. It's literally like, first of all, it's just a main strip in Georgia where there's like stores and strip malls, and then you pull up to these gates and you go in and it's literally like you stepped in a picture. It's the greenest I've ever seen the color green. It's

like landscaped and so unbelievable in there. And what we did was we at at fifteen because if you sit at fifteen and you watch the golfers come down, when you look to the left, you see sixteen, which is a part three. So we figured we'll sit at fifteen. Now beers or a dollar seventy five at two masters hold pork sandwiches are like two dollars, so you're basically getting food and beer. So one of us would take turns. And what we did was we gambled on the pairs

that would come down. So we had the sheet and we would go all right, you know, Michelson's coming down with let's just say like VJ. Sing or something like that, or who do you got, and then he would pick one. I would pick one. Whoever got a birdie, it was ten bucks. If your guy got this, it was five bucks. But then when you look to the left and they tee off on the part three sixteen, if your guy gets a hole in one, it's a hundred right out of the gate. Right out of the gate. My guy

comes down, he gets a hole in one. The place roars. I'm like up, like a hundred and twenty seven bucks right out of the gate when we start. And then I go get beers. And we tried to do this game who could come back with the most beers. So we're just holding these cups, like six of them, and whoever had a lot of I love you. This is all as I'm getting the food and the beers, I hear the crowd erupted. His guy gets a hole in one. Now we're almost even. I think he ended up pulling off,

end up winning. He always ends up beating me by like five dollars on every out of everything we do. But I just remember watching it walking up a teen ce and Michelson win and being there and it was really incredible. That was that was one that I think everybody should do just because of the scenery and the roars of the crowd. It was amazing. That's so on my bucket list. It just and I went to school University of Georgia, and I have a ton of friends from Augusta, and I feel like every year I was

promised a ticket and it never happened. But that's such bucket list. I mean, that had to be so incredible. But that's right about the prices. They purposely keep them, like historically low to almost bring you back in time. I feel like it's a part of the old stick, right. Yes, it's like you get a cup of bud light for a dollar seventy five, a sandwich for two three dollars. You're just like and you're just sitting there watching these golfers,

beautiful weather. It really is incredible. I think it's very hard to get a ticket toll. It's you have to like help somebody that has them in the family, and then they need to like either like rent them to you. It's like a whole thing. Yeah, so I should stop leaning on frat boys and sorority sisters then for those tickets. That's not the way that I should have gone in college. No,

probably not. Yeah, when you look at the NFL season now and just as the picture is getting a little bit more clear, I feel like, especially this weekend, like no team clinched a playoff spot this weekend, and that was supposed to happen if the Cardinals had one. But things are getting a little bit more clear and we're finding out who's who? What do you like? I mean, not only just two teams to make the super Bowl,

but who's just impressing you more than you thought? Who's a player who you think is In the m v P conversation without the name Brady Well, I've said and it's documented on the podcast. It's probably documented on the Versey Effect and Anything Better podcast. I said that the Green Bay Packers were going to the Super Bowl eight weeks ago. Yea, the Green Bay Packers are going to the Super Bowl. I think that they will beat the Buccaneers in the NFC Championship, if you know, and I'd

love them to have lambeau Field. I think that they have the coach for it. I think Davante Adams is I don't think Davantae Adams is better than that. I think Davanta Adams is so much better than the next wide receiver. Like one on one, he's just can't be stopped. Aaron Rodgers, you don't. You don't even need to talk about the kids throwing darts all over the field, like I've never seen anything. The kids just throwing darts. Kids all darts all over the place, and he makes it

look easy. They could go down ten points and then all of a sudden, he's up fifteen. They got Jones and Dylan, so they got the two headed monster running. And what I noticed this week is all because I had action on this one. I had, I had, I had. I needed the Packers to cover that twelve and a half. That was one of my big spreads, and and that was I wanted them to do that. I needed them to do that, And the defense showed me what they were.

They did not take the Bears seriously in the first half, and I think that that's why the Bears were moving the ball. And then look what happened. The Bears scored three points in the second half when they really buckled down and did that. So I think if the defense plays like that and the offense just is gonna keep scoring, I think that they're the team to beat in the NFC.

A f C is where it gets tricky. It does because they're saying that maybe Derrick Henry comes back to the Titans if they get through the first round, that changes everything because what are they there? Nine and whatever? They want nine games? Right, So they're tricky. I could see like a team sneaking in. I'll tell you who I don't like. I'll tell you who I don't like. I do not buy, and I could be wrong. You guys are probably play this is probably the probably get

all those other things and then this was the one. Yeah, play this back. I don't think the Chiefs. Yeah, I think the Chiefs have been figured out, even though I know they romped on the Raiders. I think in the play offs teams are gonna be able to do the two safety thing to cover too. And it seems like if you take Tyreek Hill out of the game, defenses are willing to let you. Gotta let Travis Kelsey get those little dumped downs ten twelve years. You know here

and there that's gonna happen. But if you take the home run hitter out Hill, I think that you could beat that team something looks a little off and if you make my homes run a little bit, so I don't like them. I don't know. I can't. I can't sit here and say though, because I thought two weeks ago, I thought Buffalo still had a you know, I was like, oh, Buffalo still has a shot the way Josh. And then and then two weeks in a row they lose that

heartbreak that they lost to New England. So I would say the a f C is open, but I can't. I can't see anybody beating Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers if they have the first week by end home. I just don't see that. I don't. I don't see that happening. And you know, can Belichick get back with Mac Jones probably? Yeah, Yeah, you're honestly, I bet all of our guests before they come on to make sure we're on the same page and that we're both rocking

Green and Gold. And my man Paul now has just earned himself a recurring spot because I couldn't agree more. And yeah, twelve and a half was a lot to cover against the Bears, and it was the whole narrative of I Still own you Aaron Rodgers and I just I'm more impressed with them this week than I've ever been.

And I think you're so right. Yeah yeah, And I think when they went down, when they went down ten nothing and then Rodney gets sacked and the dude is doing this in front of them, I'm like, this, kids, come back. You don't do the belt, don't do the belt, don't stop on somebody's midfield. No go, don't do any of that. That's why I wanted, damn it the Washington football team. When when McCarthy was like, We're gonna go in there and beat the Washington football team, and I'm like,

oh man, that's not good. It's a four point line. Washington's coming off with two right wins. But um, yeah, we'll see. I don't buy the Cowboys in the You know, Giants still got a shot though, we run the table. If we won the table and everybody else in our division loses, we see what happens. I'm totally kidding, but what could I do. Know, You're right, the Giants do have a shot of getting some sweet draft picks. They should just lose the rest of the season on purpose,

just sucking. Get that's it. Just let it go. Yeah, Aaron Rodgers, he's just he's he's playing magical. I think he's the m v P. Yeah, who do you fix the m v P? Yeah? Man, I mean, listen, he's got such a good case for it that it's like, you know, I mean, look at his touchdowns versus interceptions. It's like a joke. And the thing about Aaron Rodgers is you gotta get him interested. Like he was not

happy being there. They lost Week one, the whole world was talking about it, and then all of a sudden he that was good for them because they went on to run. And I'll tell you another amazing thing for the Green Bay Packers was the COVID scandal with him, that whole COVID little controversy that made him go. That made him go, all right, dude, I'm just gonna go and run off five games in a row. But everybody up. That's the type of guy he is. He needs that.

And you know where the proof was when he was sitting in at green room with his mother on Draft Day getting embarrassed with the cameras in his face going twenty five or wherever he went, I believe it was. And then look all these guys that get looked over Brady Rogers chip on the shoulder. You gotta love a player like that. I was just looking up the updated m v P odds. Tom Brady is the leading candidate at minus one fifty. I still feel like that's the

most likely option. But Aaron Rodgers is still a plus money plus five fifty. I mean, that's worth sprinkling a couple of bucks on. I worry a little bit just because I've seen chatter around this that this whole vaccine issue and lying and all this, that that will maybe cost him the m v P. But I don't know if people will still care about that, because you're right, his numbers are insane. No, it will probably cost him

because people are babies. There's a narrative out there, and people are gonna be like, you know, nobody, they know, nobody wants to see that. There's a ton of people in the country rooting against him because of it. Yeah, it's sad, it's ridiculous. Like there's a lot of people that just go, I just want them to lose because of that. And you know, listen, I'm not gonna come on your show and talk about whether somebody should be baxed or not. I think people can make decisions for themselves,

talk to their doctors and all that. But like when a professional athlete is worried about his body and maybe he did it away people didn't like. But to like like to have people like really like like me, like with Malice rooting against him. Now, if that costs him the m v P, that's just sad man, I think I agree. Okay, Wait, guys, we have got to get to our game. Speaking of Malice, I want you to to really fight it out in this one. Okay, this is gonna be good. I know you're good friends, but

let's put that aside in a little friendly competition. It's time to settle the score and find out once and for all who is the ultimate New York comedian sports trivia champion. Boyd, what what a title? You can win? That title? Yeah, honest, Papas or Paul Versey, Are you guys ready? Yeah, Born go ahead, Okay, So let's do it in true sports fashion. It's gonna be a best of seven. So the first gonna get four correct wins. Okay, and you can answer. At the same time. I'm gonna say,

because I don't know how else to fairly do it. Okay. Number one, who is the New York Knicks all time leading scorer, Bernard King? Did I hear you now? I said Bernard King? He said, We both said Bernard King. No, you're both wrong, Ship, You're both wrong. Okay, Patrick doing damnit? Okay, we're off to a really good story. Number two, Yeah, oh my god, how do we not know that he's

like on the list. It's horrible. I know it's horrible, but you know, when you think about Bernie, the way Bernie used to light him up before the knee injury, you just well it. They had like back to back forty point games. But that's terrible on the part. All right, Yeah, yeah that was bad. This one you both will get, so get ready to answer quickly. This former head coach, affectionately nicknamed the Big Tuna coach both in that's the New York Giants. I got it first. I got it first.

I was there first. I was there first. I said it away before you not even close, Bud, I said, I said ourselves right after she said Tuna, did you can you guys play that back? Or did you not? Ye? I will count it. I definitely said it first. Okay, it's one one. Okay. Former Nick's first round draft pick, Kristaps Porzingis is from what country? Rapell and the answer is lave okay to one. Paul who is the New York Giants all time leader in coaching wins. Here's a hint.

It's not Ben McAdoo. M nou ourselves, no, Steve Owen. Oh, Derek Jeter is the Yankees all time hit leader with over thirty undred. What Hall of Fame Yankee did he pass to take over the top spot? Joe Di Maggio, Blue Garrett, Blue Garrett very good. Oh, it comes out of this one because Paul's up three one. Damn it. Okay, this one is gonna be tricky for you both the answer at the same time. So I'll let Janice go first because he's down Name three people Derek Jeter allegedly dated. Okay,

we got um. We definitely got my wife when I offered her to him for the playoffs as tribute. We got the hot check. Uh, Jessica biel and Mariah Carey. I don't have Jessica Bielle unless this happened behind closed doors. Maria carry Yes, I don't know. Paul, I think you can steal this one away, all right? Uh Mariah Carey Jordan's Oh my god, was her one and best and then furious and uh wait a minute, I'll give you hint. One is his current wife. Yeah, but I don't even

know her name. I know she was in a commercial. You know what. I can't I can't even do it. I can't do it. We gotta you, guy, Like, but that's not really new tribute like okay, I mean it's that's almost been creepy to know that Hillary Clinton not Hillary Clinton. Um, you were thinking of Jordana Brewster. Hannah Davis was an SI model who he married, now Hannah Jeter, and then Jessica Alba Vanessa Manilo. But yeah, miss universe, Minka Kelly from Friday Night Lights. God, yeah, okay, here,

this one you'll get it. This one, you'll get it. Actually, I don't know. I don't know who is the Mets all time home run leader. You book got that, Okay, but does that count now because Paul has four and janass two. I was first on that one. I was okay, one more tiebreaker, okay, okay, I thought I heard him at the same time. Okay, Currently, these two running backs are the only players to rush over ten thousand yards while playing in the Big Apple. One played for the Giants,

one played for the Jets. Who are they? Oh that's hard? Chiki Barber, Curtis Martin and and ten thousand yards Jeki Barber and on the Jets, Wayne Quebec. Okay, together, you guys were correct, t Barber and Curtis Martin. This game is ship. But Paul, I think you want dude, it almost sounds like we're from Kansas City or from San Diego. I think we're fake New Yorkers at this point, especially that we don't know what Derrek Jeters No, Patrick Ewin

was horrible that we didn't get that. That was horrible. But also we missed Derrick Jeter's hit list. I mean, who misses his hit list? I mean, he's got how many hits? But then you add all those other hits? What is that? Ted? Hot Chicks? Those are the those are most impressive hits he's had us in his entire career. But here's the thing. Derek was such a sniper with it, and he was so low key that he even kept celebrities low. He even, dude, he said one thing that

was amazing. He said the worst thing about going on a cruise, and this is this is this is public, so this isn't like something he actually wrote this, But I think he said something like the worst thing going on a cruise of Mariah Carricks, you can't get off. I think he said something like that, But Derek was like, I mean giving out gift bags to his stands. I mean, he's you know, classy. That is classy. Now, the smartest thing he ever did was not getting married until he retired.

That was the smartest thing he ever did. Smart smart when you think about it, it's very Mickey Mantel esque in that he was able to play amazing while off the field he was philandering. It's the Yankee way, very Mickey Mantel ask. And maybe he's not there in the morning, but a nice fancy bottle of jam Is cats off to the captain. Let me just tip my hat right now, let me just tip mine. Look at that, like with the level of like a woman that that guy was getting.

The fact that he never made errors, I would be gazing at the sky making errors, thinking about what I'm gonna what my plans were that night? He kept it together, dur I would have been a yeah. Could you imagine? I mean, if I was a Yankee at that position, I would have been a mess dude. I would have been out of town. They would have shipped me to

Kansas City to play for the Royals. No offense Royal fans, but I would New York would have ate me up if I was doing for people from Kansas City like myself. Why did we get two gashes there? You guys are done. I'm turning off your mics. He's got two thousand plus hits, but he also has crabs eight times on that note are thanks again, Paul Versey. You can follow him on Twitter at Paul Versey and make sure to listen to him and Bill Burr on the Anything Better podcast. That

And I will be in Atlanta, Georgia at the punch Line starting my twenty two tour dates at the punch Line January seven through the ninth. All my dates are on Paul verse dot com. Thank you guys so much for having men. I had such a

good time. How it's time to talk this weekend's action with a man who has his mind on his money and his money on his mind, Peter Andrew, What's going on? Got this hat on for a reason today? Guys big going against the Bengals last week. Yeah, we got our token San Francisco fan here. That was a great game. Speaking of another great game that I think INC did really well for the sports book was the Rams winning. I saw bet MGM tweeted every state, but based on

betters had picked the Cardinals, right. Yeah, we needed it. This was so this is a couple of times. This was actually our worst week ever. Think thirteen and fifteen favorites on Sunday, so there are our Thursday and Sunday. So therefore we needed rams Bad, a lot of Parley's to be completed with just whether it was Arizona money line Arizona spread. So huge one for us, big side relief. I get to keep my job for another week. All right, I guess we all do, right, we know who writes

the checks. Let's get to this weekend's action for punishment. Picks, Peter, go ahead and lay it on us with picks and games punishment. Yeah, so there's our first week. I have in some Saturday games, so I figured, why not pick one? A huge one at that Pats plus two at Indianapolis. So that's stout Patriots defense first, obviously, Jonathan Dayler, you know, potential m VP candidate. What do you guys like there?

I'll take the Pats. I'm taking the Pats on that. Yeah, it seems too easy, right, but the Colts are a team who can pull out a weird wind and that would be a weird win. I'm kind of tempted to have them cover the two points, although if they lose by a field goal, I'm screwed. I don't know. Uh, that's why I hate how on the spot this is. Okay. I want to take the Colts because I want to be brave here, and I mean the Patriots can't win

every game, right. You saw what Jonathan Taylor could do to a team like the Bills of a great one defense, a great defense as a whole. I kind of like him at home. I think he has another two four touchdowns in him. Oh it is an indie indoors. Yeah, I don't know. Okay, I'm sticking with that, Colts. That was very brave. That was Caitlyn Jenner, brave of you,

Thank you, thank you. Next game, Olivia is near and der Packers minus four and half on the road at the Ravens Ravens weird week last week begin they ended up covering last second, But that's an interesting one. So four and a half point dogs on the road. What do you guys like there? Doesn't look like Lamar Jackson's back Packers are rolling Packers. Worst part of their game is a special team's unit. That's where they're giving up points.

That's correct able, though, I believe. So I still like Packers. Gosh, I almost like the Packers to win out. Yeah, you know what, let's be brave. This is a brave episode. Was brave. I'm gonna be brave. I'm taking the Ravens in a big upset. How about that? How about them Apples? I got a number? How about them Apples? The stars are aligning again, by the way, Niners back in the playoff spot, seeing the Packers in the NFC Championship, our

Jersey swamp back on. Okay, okay, I like it. Last one and a weird interesting team in the Seattle Seahawks with Russell Wilson back. Very peculiar team plus seven on the road at the Rams. So Ramsey a touchdown food, Honae, you go. I'm gonna go with the Rams on this one. Obvious. Yeah, you know, I gotta say I am too. I didn't see their wind coming Monday night. I feel like something's clicking now. Matt Stafford can always impress. I guess I'm

taking the Rams two by seven. Yeah, I'm with you, guys. I don't think Seahawks have a chance. Just seems like they can't get Matt calf involved, which is really weird. Yeah, that was able to and Ross can't so odd odd stretch of things. Yeah, okay, Well this is gonna be good now because we didn't agree on everything. In fact, we disagreed on what two games, Yeah, two games, two games.

You know, last week we tied, which has only happened a couple of times this season, and we have to think of something different to do when we tie because usually the winner rights the outro for the loser. We're not going to talk about who that usually is. But this week, because it is a tie, we had our producers right our outro and we both have to read it. So it looks like I'm first, be honest, but you ready to hop in here? Yeah? Man, I'm scared. I

feel I'm scared. I feel Peter Andrews paid when we do it to him. It's like a roast. I feel like this is like Christmas roast that we're just gonna get. Okay. Our producers, by the way, Maddie and Alex are amazing, and I know they love us, so I think this is all in good fun. Here we go. It's me, Olivia, and besides being a jet setting beauty queen, I also like to make sure the production team is on their

toes with all my scheduling changes and video requests. These guys just don't know how to capture the sunshine is my personality all the time. And although I give them complete gold. Each week. These adults word yeah, what's that mean? Basically means bitches. Okay, never seem to find it. I have to just roll my eyes as the production monkeys jump up and down looking to find the perfect moment from my throng of fans and admirers. I also want to add to you, ladies that I still look amazing

and will continue to do so throughout my pregnancy. Is that as what someone in my position does with ease, no weight game for this babe. Okay, back to my amazing view and box of Turkish delights tootles. Oh man, they called you a diva, Olivia, diva they did in so many words. Yes, I A'm gonna go ahead and guess that that was Maddie who wrote that. Thank you Maddie.

I will not be emailing you this week with any requests. Okay, here goes uh boy, this is I know that this is gonna be a purge and they've been waiting for this. Here we go, m Olivia. If I could ever remember what time a weekly meeting is, I would have more to offer this program, But it seems remembering the same time that has emailed to me and texted to me. Each week is too much for me as I juggle life as a famous comedian and homeowner in one of

the nation's tony Is neighborhoods. Yes, I seemed down to earth, but I would be lost without my tesla and city crash pad to offset the burdens of fans and faith. By the way, I am on the right lake now? And what time is it? Am I on East coast, West coast or Central time? Is this earth? Where am I? I never know, just like I don't seem to understand how to not yell into the mic most of the time. Oh well, the monkeys in production will fix it, like

they do each week. Oh well, I'm off to plan a multimillion dollar party for my one year old tootles suckers. That was low that they just called us Diva's Olivia. You know what. Yeah, at one point me and you were gonna team up and we're gonna roast these adults. Sorry, I was in the mic too much. Yeah, both of those things they called you out on happened today. You said, what time are we recording? And they had to tell

you to back up from mikes? Do you remember? Do you remember that one episode where we were after we recorded my podcast and Maddie looked like he was hated heart medication. He was going like his face is all read to me and you were just going whoop feed. Something tells me that would make its way into our out show. I think for the last show of the year, we have to have Maddie read it out Joe. Something else we have to fit in because I can't believe
