because i would eat so much syrup but aunt jemima has like so much like chemicals in it like i kind of i felt foggy after every time and then i figured it out years later that it's foggy and then i

going to be fun it's going to be fun it's going to be fun it'll be fun and i'm a splasher you know someone's like yo you should start your own show i'm like the only reason i started this show jules is because it's with you it's not my own show i'm like i told someone you know on vacation last week i was like i'm a splasher you know i just go in do my thing make my comments you know get the crowd going and then i get out you know and i'm not just a spot i'm like a tidal wave splasher like it's not like a one foot two foot wave here out in la this is like the hawaii waves i'm like a 20 footer coming in mid-season form off the high dive cannonball and it doesn't even land on the beach it lands you know on land like in the streets the freaking tidal wave because it just splashes everyone you remind me of like we were just the lake this weekend and all the little kids my daughter and friends they were all doing dives and then little boy out of nowhere just comes and cannonballs gets them all wet gets the parents wet classic that's wrong yeah that is me the cannonball that is me big splash that's what i'm talking about flashy well well before we get you know in in depth about what's going on let's just get one thing that you're excited for about this football season coming up one thing just one thing it's just a little quick preview show don't go too in depth you know we gotta we gotta wait for you know i mean there's so many things everyone's talking about you know miles garrett donald going to the the la rams the niners sub station everyone's getting hurt patriots get aj brown everyone's talking about caleb this that no one's talking about the defending super bowl champions in the seattle seahawks it's crazy it's the most under flying low radar team i have that just won a super bowl that i've ever seen in my life they got the same they got the same team and no one was talking about the seattle seahawks last year in the preseason as well and no one was really talking about them throughout the regular season either it was all about the rams and all about the 49ers and how they're overcoming so many injuries no one was talking about the seattle seahawks last year in the really has given enough credit to the seattle seahawks over can they go back a year and a half can they go back to back it's hard it's tough the thing like because i'm just so intrigued when you look at like the la rams and this whole off season with mcduffie watson miles garrett potentially aaron donald like we've seen these super teams on paper before crazy super teams that like they won the super bowl already before the season but how many times have they actually gone Look at '07, the Patriots, Randy Moss, Tom Brady, Junior Seau, Wes Welker go 16-1. No, that's a bad example. How is it a bad example? People are literally talking about this team about to go undefeated. Because that super – it wasn't even a super team. How is that not a super team? It wasn't a super team. How is it not a super team? Brady Moss, I mean, because a super team is like – What do you mean? Like, a super team is like the Rams this year. Like, I mean, they got MVP, Myles Gare, MVP, Stafford. 07 had Tom Brady who literally was three-time Super Bowl winning champion. But it's not a super team like it is now because with the salary cap back then, it was hard to make it a super team because you couldn't really pay everyone. It was pretty super team to me when you see Randy Moss and Tom Brady. It was, but also it lived up to the hype, brother. They went 16-0, the only team to ever go 16-0 ever in history. 18 and one giant loss. Yeah, 18 and one giant loss. Still too soon. Still too soon. One giant loss. It was a huge loss. Still too soon. Almost 20 years later, still too soon. But, like, going back to our point, I mean, you look at those old Philly teams when they had T.O., McNabb, and all, you know, all these super teams before the season, that's why the NFL is the best because they have, we have, everything has to go in place. I can tell you this. If there was one super team to ever do it, I believe that it is truly the 2026 Rams. And why? You think they're going to win? And why? This is our one thing that we wanted to talk about. Why? Just to give you an example of how this show is going to be. Why? Because look at the Rams over the last, you know, decade with Sean McVay as a head coach. He can handle superstar players. He can handle a super team. He gains, you know, those, he garners that respect from players. It doesn't matter what level they're at. He knows how to handle them. He knows how to put a game plan together. He is a superstar within himself that everyone respects in the NFL. And on top of that, look at them the last two seasons. They possibly could have been back-to-back Super Bowl champions right now. They lost. In the final plays, each of the last two NFC championship games. So this team knows how to play together already. They know how to win games already. If you look at their last two seasons. Now with the addition of Myles Garrett on top of that, I think he's hungry for a championship as well. It's not like there's guys that are individuals on the Rams. I truly feel like they are playing together as a team and it's not all about me. That's why I believe that this super team possibly is the best super team that has the best chance. That's what's wrong with Super Bowl. What's wrong with Superstars? What's wrong with Superstars right there? He says it's such a great team. The Rams special teams was dog shit last year. They lost five games. We're over here talking like they're going to win fucking Super Bowl. Look at the Rams when they played the Seattle Seahawks last year. You're talking special teams? We're talking special teams because Super Bowl winning teams got to be. You know how much I don't talk special teams? My last special teams play, I broke my floor. I know. Screw special teams. I know. They are special though. And I. I'm special. So I actually should have been playing more special teams. Hey, shout out Bubba Ventrone, baby. That's the honestly, that's the best. So the best addition for the L.A. Rams, I would say, is our former teammate, Joe Cardonia, long snapper. They had a lot of troubles with their long snap, their operation of field goals. And then Bubba Ventrone, Ray Ventrone, special teams coordinator, did a hell of a job in Indianapolis, played with. He was coached under Selick. He was coached under. Scottie O'Brien, this guy knows special teams. So I think those are two key additions for the Rams. So many things, so many things that we got to get it. I, I, that's a huge addition. That's that just actually just supported my opinion about the Rams even more why they're going to win the Super Bowl, but it's because they got quality special team play X players that are coaching now that are very qualified. I just watched these Seattle Seahawks playoff games yesterday. I mean, you look in the, what was it? The AFC or NFC championship first plays a touchdown by Rasheed Shaheed fumbled snaps on, you know, punt punt return. They dominate in the special teams game. So like they got a whole lot of making up to do with. They sure do. Speaking of the Seattle Seahawks, boys, we got a game tonight. We got a Super Bowl rematch Wednesday night. Oh, yes. Patriots Seahawks. Oh, my God. What are we thinking? Well, how cool is it that now the NFL starting on a Wednesday night and that's because there's a game in Australia. On Thursday night. So we kind of had to switch up the schedule a little bit, but like, come on. Are you kidding me? We're going to take, we'll take a football game early on and have it start on Wednesday night and talking about opening games. I remember my last opening game, you know, when we, what we won the Super Bowl versus Seattle 49. Then we open it up against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Correct. Yeah. Or it was the Super Bowl that we beat Atlanta, the comeback Super Bowl. And then we open it up against Pittsburgh. I think we opened them Steelers twice. It was one of them. And I had three touchdowns Thursday night, football opening game of the season. Yeah. I'm just like, let's get back to this game tonight. But there's getting to your point. The home team that won the Super Bowl always has that banner dropping. So like the excitement of the stadium, especially in Seattle with the freaking 12, man, I've been watching on hard knocks of the 12s of this or that. I mean, they're going to be rocking over there. It's going to be like 1.3 on the Richter scale. I think 1.5 this game. I mean, the past. I mean, the Pats are going to have a, you know, a tough situation in front of them for this game because they're playing in Seattle. You know, it kind of was a mutual field, you know, in the Super Bowl last year and they did get one. But I think it's going to be a closer game. No doubt about that. They're going to make the adjustments they need to make. You know, it is Wednesday night football. We never really got to say that before Wednesday night football. But Jules, what are your thoughts on this one? How is this game going to go tonight? I think opening. Day for all teams. One thing that we always heard from the coaching staff. There's going to be a lot of unpredictableness. There's going to be a lot of variables could be pretty sloppy because it's your first time going at it. First time guys play of three hours, you know, playing a whole game. They're coming from training camp. They're coming from preseason games where they only get two, three series. So I it's always a big surprise on opening night, especially, you know, banner drop night with this. This game, this is opening the season so I can anticipate a couple trick plays a couple new wrinkles from both teams and honestly, you know, these are completely different teams than last year. The addition to AJ Brown, another year under the belt for Will Campbell and that offensive line Loma, who they bring in through the draft, you know, Seattle has the same thing. They just paid Witherspoon. They, who else do they got? They got a Terry on Arnold. They signed Terry on. Is. Is he playing tonight? I don't know. I don't know. I know there's no, they got digs. They got no shot. All right. He's not playing. He's not. He's on the exempt list. If even if he he's on the exempt list, he's allowed to practice. He was allowed to practice throughout training camp. He's on the exempt list, but he'll have to talk. He will not be playing tonight. We'll see. That's a little paid with or something. We know that much. I can Jack, you're bringing up guys that aren't even playing. Come on, step it into the legal corner over here. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Jack likes to, you know, you know, mess with the law a little bit. You fight to see how I'll talk with our counsel. We'll talk. Who's our, who's our counsel. He's figuring it out. Looking at it, baby. The law from over here. Yeah. And the order, I mean, if he can play, that'd be insane. I think it was already amazing. Just getting better and better. But also why don't we go back to last year? I mean, look at the Patriots start last year, their week one game. I mean, it looked horrendous. We thought it was, we thought it was, oh yeah. New coaching staff that, like you said, you don't know what, you know, what these teams are going to put on the field. And these aren't the week. One doesn't really represent what. This. This team, what their product is going to be the rest of the year. You don't really know what a team is like and who they are until at least minimum week, six minimum. Anyone can beat anyone. Definitely from week one to week six. Cause you don't know what you're going to get. They don't even know what they are. They're still learning their team. You know, the team's got a, they have a list of things that they want to be. Yep. And they throw that at the wall and in the games and the things that stick, that's what they become and the things that they wanted to be. That. Didn't work. They let that go. The train is always moving. We haven't seen any ball yet. So it's all speculation. I've been speculating. Well, let's speculate more. Jack, what's up next? Yes. Let's do a couple little early season. Way too early. Way to some rapid fire predictions with some of the big categories. Let's start with rookie of the year. Well, I'll go with this one. I really love quarterback, Fernando Mendoza, what he has done in preseason. He looks like a true veteran. He looks like a professional, the way that he was threading the ball. Like it looks like he's. Threading threading the needle. He looks very, very well put together, but I'm not sure if he's going to be starting this week or not, you know? And if he doesn't really start until week seven, week eight, you know, I don't think he can possibly be rookie of the year that, but if, if Fernando Mendoza starts within the first four weeks and plays throughout rest of the season, I think he will be rookie of the year, but if they don't start them because they want him to develop, I think that running back down in Arizona, Jeremiah love. That's who I think. I mean, God. I was looking phenomenal in the first preseason game. Unfortunately, he got hurt, you know, when early it's good high ankle sprain, get it out of the way, out of the way, get it out of the way, Julian, you brought up a good point about him though. You know, he's looking fantastic, but what was the one point you brought up? You got it. You can't be jumping. Always. Can't always be jump. You can't be jumping your feet. This ain't not in the NFL. You're not playing Louisiana tech institution of the agriculture school you're playing. Hey, that's where I was going to go to school, Julian. you know yeah i'm an agriculture guy well i mean u of a's got an agri agriculture program doesn't man and uh all right what do i went there what are we thinking about wait i'm gonna wait i'm going love you're going yeah i'm going love all right i'm going mendoza i like that i'm going mendoza great picks man you're gonna go mendoza for real yeah it's an easy pick you know he's not even gonna play you're best friends with a partial owner of the team that like has been very verbal and vocal about like hey i want my guy to learn exactly i did he's playing games with everyone he's playing games he's playing games you know how he that's why this is the best time of year hey he's playing games with everyone i know him too well he said he's scared of the strip so we don't have to worry about any any extracurriculars down the strip baby no not he's not going a mile yeah actually he might go check out he might go check out the sphere like i could see that he'll go that's off the strip though that's like 100 feet off the strip it's all he can go to this he can go to the sphere okay he can go to the sphere watch a concert out of the sphere he's definitely hitting shows you know he's a show no no that's on the strip he's not allowed he's not allowed he doesn't like to strip no strip we strip in those new york strip yeah not even nope he's not even going that far either no strip all right we got our rookie not even a new york strip we got our rookie of the year settled how about mvp mvp oh what are we thinking here matthew stafford is the reigning mvp yeah i don't i don't think he'll pull it off again though i don't think he needs to pull it off he's got such a great supporting cast around him i don't think he needs to be mvp again this year what are you thinking robbie g man i mean i think it's gonna be there i mean they're still in their prime it's gonna be between it's gonna be either josh allen or drake may i'm with you i thought josh allen josh allen lamar jackson or drake may it's gonna be one of those there's gonna be a new guy and a new kid on the block and then there's gonna be two guys that are always in it i mean josh stafford could be in there too no yeah for all we know but josh allen and lamar jackson will always be in it for the next like two three years no matter what and stafford if he's protected and they have that like that trailer that like i said though he doesn't need to be mvp this year he doesn't need to but like they're gonna be blowing teams out oh i i thought super teams aren't great teams in the regular season they're really good regular season they embarrass regular teams uh and they will do that all right well all right well just i'm gonna have the ball i'm gonna go much more with i'm gonna go defense i'm gonna throw it i'm gonna go with lamar jackson lock it in all right why because uh new head coach new system they're excited about it you know i think the new system is gonna you know portray to lamar jackson skills and let him be who he needs to be and let his just potential which is not really any more potential he has shown plenty of times what he can do he's gonna be at his at his max power i like it you know it's been real silent on our guy patty mahomes this should be no it hasn't been it's every time i pull up backs it's patty mahomes no we're walking around limping we didn't even saying that is he gonna be is he the same oh is he we've got shall it in lamar jackson will be in there no matter you didn't say patrick mahomes the guy who has three super bowls been to five i'm an often you can never count him out guys limping out there maybe guys limp maybe this is a maybe and he's not the next chapter come back just limping not come back if you're if you're limping because you're pimping but that's a different but he's limping and he's gimping because he's gimping yes there we go oh man he ain't limping oh man man i it's gonna be that's gonna be the next chapter that's why it's gonna be good i'm gonna go with uh yeah i think those three okay i like that early to be i like way too early prediction but we're probably spot on but you know we got the brain with the football we know what we're talking all on the brain that's the text chain and then last but not least guys super bowl wait wait wait way too early jules what are we thinking super bowl matchup wise well i can tell you peter streger here we're playing peter streggs is fucking on this streggs regs actually was wrong last year wasn't he for like the first time like good because he was getting a little cocky he was he's walking around like he like he was just you know came back down to earth yeah he did he's walking around like he wasn't on this earth like he was on planet mars i mean he i think he predicted like but i gotta give him i know i just i love streggs i just wanted to talk to a guy streggs is dialed he is dialed what are we doing great things what are we thinking jules um super bowl match i mean i hate this stuff give me years i hate i know we'll do it for the show though for the show it's so stupid for the kids this is for the kids um there's just so many factors that can go into it you know throughout the whole season on why a team makes nfc or not nfc who do you i'm going i'll just go i'll make it as simple as this because i already talked about at the beginning it's the nfc it's the los angeles rams i'm going seattle seahawks versus the bills josh allen finally wow and i'm going los angeles rams made that verse now i gotta live versus lamar jackson talk about and the raven half we can hide behind it being oh my god no but it's way too early way too early we haven't even seen week one oh it's i got rams and if lamar jackson wins a super bowl this year he'll be considered like a top five quarterback of all time instantly instantly instantly he's got like five mvps yeah he needs to just win a super bowl but without that win he's like a top 50 quarterback he's only got three playoff wins yeah exactly he's if three rams versus baltimore lamar jackson wins top five quarterback of all time way too early prediction way too early way too early seattle bills and you have rams baltimore i mean no page oh that's tough no the patriots are going to be solid but this is a way too early prediction we want to be wrong on the way too early yeah we want to motivate the other team yeah amen we want to give a little boost exactly come on now just fight and they're not watching this show okay what are you talking about they're
