In their first ever 2-man show, Joe and Ezra talk who is the worst team in the league after Week 1, recap Ezra’s trip to Dallas Death Star to watch the Cowboys lose their season in week 1, TV announcers love affair with Dan Campbell, how the Broncos completely blew it, Geno Smith MVP Odds, Saquon being allllll the way back, the value of a backup long snapper for the Bengals, and Jimmy G. and his mesmerizing eyes staring lasers in San Francisco fans from the sidelines. We check the scoreboard on our 4-man teams draft from last week, hand out our sure-fire guaranteed Week 2 NFL bets, and predict which 10 point underdog will pull off the upset this week.

The guys recap their trip to Lake Tahoe, revealing which friend walked unabated through a patio screen door and describe how Kurtis unwittingly nearly invited a bear into the AirBnB guest room. Then we talk the chaos that is the start of the NFL season, Lamar negotiating his own contract, and Brady at 45 navigating the distractions of being a human. We then each pick 4 AFC and NFC teams to battle for which one of us can reign supreme in the “most team wins draft,” before hitting our favorite NFL bets for Week 1 and some overly complicated but thoughtfully creative longshot bets for division winners and rookie of the year. We wrap up with Crystal Ball where we talk NFL announcer shuffle between networks and the single game we’re looking forward to the most as the NFL season launches itself above the atmosphere and into our collective consciousness for the next 18 weeks. Let’s ride!

We compare the LIV golf tournament to a John Wick movie as Phil Mickelson is officially “ex communicado,” debate the athlete gambler Mount Rushmore (yes, MJ is on it), get interrupted by incoming NFL MVP odds, reminisce Roland Garros greatness, wonder why MLB pitchers don’t hold extra baseballs in their pants, and offer longshot bets for the World Series, NL Rookie of the Year, and NBA Finals. Then we cue up the crystal ball, where Kurtis looks toward the thoroughbreds at the Belmont, Joe is watching the Women's College World Series, and Ezra makes an eerily specific trade prediction.

The first 4-man pod in High Jinx history, featuring Joe, Kurtis, Ezra, and the return of Noah! We discuss favorite summer movies, ask whether Boston or San Francisco is the more likable city, and ponder whether the Warriors or Celtics trekked the harder road to get here. Then we talk best bets, where Kurtis goes all-in on the Celtics, Joe hands out an 85-1 exacto for the NBA Finals outcome, Noah spies an all-star shooting guard who might be on the move this summer, and Ezra tells us why he digs the Warriors in 6 at +550. Crystal ball then prevails where we look into the future, discuss whether tennis is an underrated sport given the greatness of Nadal’s dominance at the French Open, and check-in on the odds for the golf match with Mahomes, Allen, Rodgers, and Brady. We close the show with Noah providing tales from paternity leave where he laments the distant memory of how it feels to get a good night’s sleep.
