00:00Nick, good morning.
00:00What's going on, guys? How we doing today?
00:02How you doing?
00:03I'm doing awesome. Never better.
00:06We got a big weekend coming up here. New England Patriots, I'm going to start there.
00:09They travel to Miami. Traditionally, this team does not do well down there.
00:13Well, I have, uh, I don't know if they're going to win the game,
00:15but I was just, I was telling Shyam off air. I, I love the Patriots to cover the spread.
00:20It's might be my favorite bet of the weekend this weekend at plus seven and a half.
00:24Um, and I'll say this, like, I know the last couple of years
00:26with like Mac Jones where we're not great. Um, and I'm not saying Drake
00:30may is going to be Tom Brady. Like maybe we'll never see a Tom Brady ever again,
00:33but may is much closer to Brady than he is to Mac Jones.
00:37Like this is legitimate, real deal franchise quarterback. I think he's awesome. Um, and I
00:43think that he's, this line's a little disrespectful to Drake may. I also think the Patriots are going
00:48to be able to run the ball in this game. Dolphins can't stop the run. Here's a heavy dose of
00:52Stevenson. And I bet the dolphins last week against the Raiders. Um, and I won my bet,
00:57but I have to say this in honesty, right? Um, look at the box score of the game last
01:01week with Miami and Vegas. The Raiders basically played them to a standstill
01:05and somehow managed to lose by 15. I think this game is going to be way closer than the spread
01:10indicates at plus seven and a half. I love Drake. I love the Drake. And if you don't,
01:14you're not like us Patriots plus seven and a half this weekend.
01:18Nick, I'm, I'm looking to run the,
01:20no reactions to that line, huh? I got it. I got it. Kendrick. I mean, I mean, I mean just
01:27fricking crickets guys. I mean, I got it when he was in, I was all over. I'm looking to run
01:34the gamut when it comes to Sunday. I want every single game. I want to build up. I feel like
01:37you're into this now. I am. Yeah. It's called an addiction, but go ahead. And I look at,
01:42I look at the schedule and I'm like, please, please, please gamble responsibly. Always.
01:48One 800 gambling. Thank you. And it seems like these games are easy to pick because you've got
01:54these. Well, let's stop the sentence there. I know, I know. That's why, but I know that that's
01:59a bad way to think of it. So if I want to pick an upset game, where do I look? So you just want,
02:03you want an underdog to win out, right? Yes. And Courtney, I'm guessing that you would like
02:08a big price, right? Cause that's more fun than a small price. Christmas is coming. I don't,
02:12I don't know if the Patriots will win on Sunday so we can stay away from New England.
02:17Oh, I got a, I got a good one for you. Courtney, are you, uh, are you ready to bet against the
02:24best team in the league? Not with the Panthers. Well, I'm not talking about the Kansas city.
02:29Oh, you're looking at cowboys with the lions. Oh, I'm oh, let's go to, let's go to the most
02:34underrated city in the country. Indianapolis for the Colts, for the Colts city. Have you,
02:42have you been there? Yes. Awful. You don't like Indianapolis. I went there to look at schools and
02:46I went for a jog. I was done in five minutes and I said, where's the rest of it? No,
02:50it's Indianapolis. So Indianapolis. So I've never been there just to be there. I've been there for
02:54the NFL scouting combine. When I worked at NFL radio for serious, went there for a Superbowl,
02:58went there for a final, like it is a great event city. Don't argue with him today about any places
03:04on the map, please. Why? What's up with him? Just don't. Why? What's going on? He's never wrong.
03:08Courtney and him. How did it go with a Virginia Notre Dame last week? You were very, you were
03:15very loudly wrong about that. What are you talking about? 21 and a half. Is that, that wasn't the
03:20point spread, right? The point spread was bigger than that. No, no. I mean, Curtis is undefeated
03:27when it comes to his locks. I know he got one wrong. I got the week before, which was Miami.
03:32I got that. So, so he has been wrong this season. Yes. Nick, they argued about whether or not,
03:37uh, what the hell is that place? Let the record show. Courtney brought this back.
03:42Township township is South, uh, Jersey shore or North Jersey shore. I don't know, man.
03:51We can have a map, but how is this? It's like an argument thing. It seems like it's like a fact.
03:57Courtney said it was, uh, the South Jersey shore. Right. I said it was more South and Curtis said,
04:02no, it was at the top. And then somebody called and said it's central. So we were both wrong.
04:06Well, we can look at a map. I don't know why we have to listen to someone. It doesn't matter how
04:10many times you say it. So you look at the map and you think it's South. I said we were both wrong.
04:15I don't know. I don't know. I don't know how many times I said we were both wrong. You bring this
04:20up again because I just want to make sure to hit the point. Well, I mean, it's okay. I've been
04:24wrong a million times. I'm not wrong here. I said we were both wrong, Curtis. I'm, I'm, I'm the one
04:30who always says I'm wrong. You on the other hand, you make it personal when you get powder. It's
04:34teeth. Can we get back? Courtney sounds like a great woman. Like she admits when she's wrong.
04:42I do hurt us. I don't know what you're laughing at. Yeah, that's pretty good. Uh, so I'm betting
04:49it with the Colts. There's what you're telling me. Well, well, so like Detroit's the best team in the
04:53league, right? This is not like an anti Detroit thing. Lions, by the way, first time in franchise
04:58history are the favorite to win the Superbowl right now. It's the first time in the history
05:01of the franchise that's been the case. Um, but Indianapolis has like untapped upside with Anthony
05:08Richardson back at quarterback, right? Um, he played awesome last week and they beat the jets.
05:12Now that's on the road. This is at home. So I think if, if you get an upside game from Richardson,
05:17like if he plays up to his potential, uh, I love the Colts to cover the spread. It's seven and a
05:21half. So Colts plus seven and a half. And, uh, yeah, I could see India. I'm not guaranteeing
05:26they're going to win, but you want a big upset at price. Let's take the Colts to beat the Lions.
05:30I have a small bet on that. In addition to a bigger bet on Indy to cover the spread,
05:34uh, cost us noted giants fan. Uh, they have sat Daniel Jones as they probably should have earlier.
05:40Yeah. Cause they don't want to pay him later. And now Tommy cutlets is back at the helm is the
05:46buccaneer. Are the buccaneers just going to roll this week? I don't think so. Um, just one thing
05:50to consider. And like, I hate like no one likes this stuff, uh, but we are getting to the time
05:54of year where weather is going to matter in these games when we handicap them. So there is like wind
05:58expected in the forecast, just something to keep in mind, heading into the game where both passing
06:02games might get wrecked. If that's the case, I could really helps the giants as the underdog in
06:06the game. But, uh, you know, for me, when I had to cap this game, I think that the point spread
06:10is six. Uh, I think the giants have looked at Tommy DeVito and I think table and Joe Shane,
06:14the coach GM know that if this spirals out of control, they're going to get fired.
06:18And I think they really think whether right, wrong, or indifferent that Tommy DeVito gives
06:22them the best chance to win. Can't be worse than Daniel Jones point spreads too big. Give me the
06:26giants plus six on the cutlets bump. Let's bump. And who doesn't love cutlets? Nice and thin and
06:35fried. We think you have a bump before you come on. So it works. I'm like, I'm like this 24,
06:41seven, you're natural, all natural. There you go. Yeah. Uh, Nick, please help me here.
06:46I took your, uh, Kansas city pick last week. Didn't work out for me in my, um,
06:51I love how like, well, then make your own picks. Wiggy.
06:54Listen, I go to the expert on certain things. I go to the expert on, it wouldn't matter Nick,
06:59because I went with the pats and they screwed me from jump street, the Ravens charges. I'm leaning
07:04towards Baltimore, but I took Baltimore last week and they screwed me against Pittsburgh.
07:10Yeah. They should have. I mean, just how about all the people that were like, yeah,
07:13raise the crossbar kickings too easy. How'd that go this past weekend? Um, so you're,
07:18you just want the winner of the game on Monday? Yeah. I just do straight money line.
07:21Well, I mean, like you want the, you want, you want this to be more fun or I think that's like,
07:25look, like water gun to my head who wins the game, like slight lean towards Baltimore,
07:29the chargers are the value. Don't, don't do the money line. Take chargers plus three.
07:33Okay. So is that the, so the new poly is no money line spread line. All right. So how about this?
07:38Do you want me to, do you want a money line parlay or do you want a money line slash spread
07:42parlay parlay for this weekend? Yeah. I mean, I'll give you something in every game and we can
07:50tabulate how much it is right now if you want. Okay. Okay. So Vikings bears. Okay. Let's play
07:56Vikings money line. All right. So I'm on bed MGM right now. Yep. Lions Colts. You want to be safer.
08:01You want to go for the gusto? Cause we could take Colts plus seven and a half, or we could play
08:04Colts money. He likes going for the guy. He wants a big pay. All right. Colts money line. Gotcha.
08:10Patriots plus seven and a half. All right. Giants plus six.
08:15Cowboys plus 10 and a half, but we, we have to make sure a CD lamb practices to make that bet.
08:20So let's, let's, that's off the board for right now. Okay. Let's do chiefs money line, even though
08:25it's a huge, cause they're not going to lose, but maybe they don't cover. Let's do Texans money line.
08:29I don't think they're going to lose. Maybe they don't cover. Okay. Let's do Raiders plus six
08:34against the Broncos. Okay. We have to stay away from Packers diners cause we don't know if Brock
08:38Purdy is playing. So we'll come back to that. All right. Let's do Seahawks money line against
08:42the Cardinals. All right. Eagles money line Sunday night against the Rams. All right. Chargers plus
08:47three Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens. I think this pays, if I see this correctly,
08:53this is a 352 to one. Correct. All right. Let me see what that gets me. What does that get me?
08:59All right. So this is a good one. I may throw 10 hams at this baby. All right. Me too.
09:02What's out now? I don't know. I don't know. I'm not familiar with Boston parlance.
09:06Ham is $10. It's otherwise known as his lunch. I may, I may throw a thousand dollars at this
09:14just to see if it hits a thousand. We'll get you $373,000. Yeah. And I got to tell you,
09:28dude, you win that. And like, you better send me a Venmo payments. I will. And I will,
09:33I will not be here Monday. If I win three, you think you're retiring off three 70,
09:38he's retiring off the 30 million. He already has. Is that Greg? Is that Greg's had a great career,
09:43man. Congratulations. It's been 34 years. Probably time to hang it up. He's big red.
09:50He's the kind of rich that he doesn't actually pay for anything. Cause it's all free still,
09:54which is wild. I'm going to go two and a half hams on that. So that'd be 25 bucks to win almost
09:5910 grand. I'll, I'll, I'll bet. I'll put like 50 bucks on this. Why not?
10:04We use a ham over Turkey at Thanksgiving person, which really bothers me. I think it's a,
10:08here's my Thanksgiving food hot take. I think it's like all not known. I want to phrase this
10:13correctly. I think all the Thanksgiving meat is bad. I don't like ham and I don't like Turkey.
10:18I want to honestly, you give me everything. All the sides are great. And you know what I would
10:23like? Like, give me a little Tommy DeVito. I want some chicken cutlets, some veal cutlets.
10:27That's what we do. We do chicken Cutler Palm on that. We do chicken Palm.
10:34I love you. Cost us. But I mean, it does, right? You're right.
10:38You're a thousand percent, right? Cause if people liked it, they'd eat it on other days.
10:43Yeah, correct. Like it's, it's garbage point. Well, like my wife, like we eat Turkey during
10:47the week cause we're trying to be healthy, but I don't like it. It's awful. You don't
10:50intentionally seek it out, but if you do Italian, what do you, you don't get to,
10:55you don't get the access to the gravy, right? Oh no. You, my, my growing up,
10:58my Italian side would always have a Turkey. My dad would always bitch that the Turkey was too
11:02small. Okay. And then my mom and her mom would make all the Italian stuff and everything. Yeah.
11:07No, no, but like, but the gravy, the gravy, see Greg, you might be rich, but your, your,
11:11your brain's in a different place. I understand what you're going to say. It goes on the mashed
11:15potatoes and it goes on all the sides. I thought he was going to go. Gravy is called sauce. Well,
11:20I, well, Courtney, that was going to be part two of my dissertation. I figured
11:25I love. Okay. So a pie I can do like my Dwayne, the rock Johnson skit here. Yes. Pie is great. Um,
11:31best pie is pecan pie. Oh wow. Okay. Second, second best pie I would say is actually coconut
11:38cream pie. I am not a fan. Nobody likes coconut cream. Well, I've actually disproven you because
11:45I am someone and I like apple pie overrated. I agree on that. So apples suck. That's the first
11:54pumpkin pie is terrible because it's one note. There's no, there's no, there's no textural
12:00difference anywhere unless the, unless the crust is very crispy. It's all just soft and disgusting.
12:06Uh, blueberry, I think blueberries are the most overrated fruit. Get it out of my face. Like you
12:10get, when you get a, a, a, a, an ice cream Sunday, does anyone eat the cherry? No, you take that son
12:16of a bitch off. Who wants a cherry pie? Have you ever had a lemon chest pie? I, I feel like I like
12:25lemon and I would probably like that. And a chest pie, correct me if I'm wrong. It's like, it's like
12:29a zigzaggy crossed on the top. No, it's the, uh, it's the, it's like dense sugar is about like
12:36dense. Oh, I'm looking at it now. And I like see like, um, the word that I'm a big, great, great
12:42British baking show fan. The word that they use across the pond is stodgy and they use it in a
12:46negative sense. I like dense and stodgy desserts. I enjoy that. Yeah. All right. Like a good chocolate
12:52pie. Also chocolate pie. Now, now you're just like, now you're just like, you know, a boorish
12:56American. Have you ever had, have you ever had a peanut butter pie? Well, I see, I love peanut
13:02butter, but I feel like every time I have a peanut butter dessert, I'm disappointed.
13:07I just had one last weekend. Cost us. I, you would not be disappointed.
13:11Like burger King, like the peanut butter pie they have. No, I went to a place called the
13:14library steakhouse and, uh, I, my, I shared one with my girlfriend. It was delightful.
13:19Weigh in, uh, weigh in. If you would, before you go on the rhubarb.
13:23Oh, I thought you were asking. I think no rhubarb is very underrated. Correct. What's rhubarb?
13:30It's a vegetable. The strawberry rhubarb pie is, it does not get the attention it deserves.
13:38But like, so let's say you get a piece of peak, like a nice piece of pecan pie and you put it in
13:41the microwave with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I want someone to tell me the Thanksgiving dessert.
13:46That's better than that. My mom was from the South. And so that was her go-to was the, the
13:51pecan pie. Yeah. And it is, and it is the most unhealthy thing you could possibly.
13:56It's made with, she used to make it with carob syrup, which is like a giant vat of just syrup
14:02and water. A true celebration of American culture. I didn't realize there was so many pies.
14:11After you win the money this weekend on the parlay, we'll get some pies for you, buddy.
14:14Yeah. I did not realize I'm an apple pie guy with some ice cream.
14:17With your, the Italian side of your family and same with Nick,
14:21I'm surprised you're not a ricotta pie guy. I like it, but you need to have some strawberries,
14:27something on it to make it pop. Here's the strongest dessert take that I will offer.
14:33Italian cheesecake, which is, and it's not ricotta, by the way, it's regatta.
14:36All the words, all the words are made up. Okay. No, no, no, no. I, I think it's ridiculous also
14:42like here. And by the way, quick aside, I was wrong about the pronunciation of focaccia.
14:47Courtney was right. We did it on the show and it was a quick argument and I was wrong. And I'll
14:52say it again. Courtney nailed it. I was wrong. Carry on. Like here, like calamari is pronounced
14:57galamad, which is not even close to the spelling of the word. Are you like a mozzarella guy?
15:01Mozzarella. Well, there is. Oh, and what's up? The Brugge, the Brugge.
15:07Cappanata is gobbledine. Okay. I don't know. I, you think, I, I, I, you think,
15:13you think I'm making this up. I promise you I'm not. Uh, anyway. Oh, Italian cheesecake with regatta
15:19is 500 times better. New York. And I'm from New York with cream cheese. What are we heathens?
15:26We're disgusting ordering New York cheesecake.
15:28Oh, if you could do a cannoli pie for me that I would really enjoy.
15:34I love cannolis. Those are my favorites. Kind of like the cream, like the chocolate cream pie
15:39or the, like the, what he's talking about.
15:41The problem with chocolate cream pie, again, is the same problem that pumpkin pie has, which,
15:44which is that it's one note cannoli cream pie. You have the cannoli bits mixed with the cream.
15:49So you have a little textural difference. Chocolate cream pie is just soft.
15:54All I could think about. I was going to say soft in your mouth. And I was like,
15:56I don't know if that's really that great, but then I just did. So there you go.
15:58Wigs. All I could think about is the office where Michael tries to order the gaba ghoul.
16:04All right, Nick, awesome to talk to you. We will not talk to you next week because
16:08of holiday, but we'll, but we'll talk to you. Guess where, guess where I'll be next week.
16:12Where it's giving Courtney. Do you want to guess? Oh, that's the Hamptons. Oh yeah.
16:18Oh yes. You did say that you were going to do that. Yes. What part?
16:22A sag central, central Hamptons.
16:30Are you going to go to label blue? Okay. I've actually, I think I'm a little,
16:34cause I went to the one in Palm beach and I didn't like it. So I think I might be a
16:36little out on the bill. Okay. But we will be going to two double Giorno. Oh, very good.
16:41Yes. Very good. Very good. Sounds very conversation. I have to tell you, I,
16:47I am very, very bougie. Yes. That tracks. Yes. Sounds very, very expensive. Then I will,
16:54uh, I'll be a Denny's and I'll be, and I'll be happy and I'll be happy with it.
16:59All right, Nick, have a great holiday. Happy Thanksgiving. Wishing everyone minimal sweats,
17:03winning bets. The absolute very best of luck. Peace. All right. He's the host of you. Better
