0:00

Are you are listening to the Rosenthal

0:02

and jessel Nick Vanity Project, or, as

0:04

I like to call it, the biggest mistake of Anthony's

0:07

career, Like why are you yelling? Ah?

0:20

Welcome aboard, this

0:22

is happening the Vanity Project.

0:25

It's our first show. Thank you for

0:27

listening. It's really our second show

0:29

because we tried to tape a

0:32

video show Anthony about

0:34

six seven weeks ago. In the

0:37

NFL was not really a

0:39

big fan of it. They were not on board. We didn't just try

0:41

it. We did it, you know, we did it. We

0:43

did it the best we could. And I think the note

0:45

that came back was I did not laugh. Yeah,

0:47

that that was one. No laughter. I

0:50

laughed, I heard some I could. I heard some

0:52

good feedback, but from the NFL

0:54

no laughter. Another quote was

0:57

I hated it. That was one. So

0:59

that the project, the project was a

1:01

little dead on arrival for a little a little

1:03

bit, but we got it back now

1:05

an audio form and we're gonna try

1:07

to do this every week. We're like audio form.

1:10

You know, they said that. I think a lot of people the NFL just thought

1:12

I wasn't good looking enough to really

1:14

carry a TV show. Uh So, Yeah,

1:16

now we're here on radio, and I've got a great I've got a great

1:18

voice, I've got great tones coming out of me. Why yeah,

1:20

why would they want you on their airwaves?

1:23

I I think, I

1:25

think, uh, you know, we've got the title the

1:28

Vanity Project, but now you're already

1:30

messing it up right off the bat, like it's the Rosenthal and

1:32

Justly Nick Vanity project. We have to stick to

1:34

it. What did I say? You said the Vanity Project.

1:36

Well, that's like shortening it. But it's like shortening

1:38

it the wrong WAYF you called it the Rosenthal and Justly Nick, that

1:41

would make sense to me. Well, either way, it's

1:43

it's kind of the way the the NFL, I guess

1:45

is looking at it from my perspective,

1:47

you know, from my thing. I I if you're not

1:49

familiar with me, if you're a fan of Anthony, I'm a writer

1:52

at NFL dot Com, NFL

1:54

Media. I've been here for three or four years,

1:56

which if you are going to be a writer, it's like the it's

1:59

like the top level you can be as far as you know,

2:01

it's like NFL network. Uh

2:03

kind of editor slash writer. And then right below that, I would

2:05

say novelist, you know, but you're you're

2:07

killing it, killing it after I

2:10

I did what eight or nine years before that, Pro Football

2:12

Talk NBC Sports dot Com. You,

2:14

of course, you're a famous comedian. You've

2:17

had your own show, The Jessel Knick

2:19

Offensive on Comedy Central. You

2:21

were just the host of Last Comics Standing. Don't

2:24

bring that up over a gun on NBC. Why

2:26

not bring that up? You did a great job. I did

2:28

a great job. I was just unhappy with the final product,

2:31

you know what I mean. It's like if we did this, if

2:34

we did this at the end, they were like, oh, hey, great

2:36

job, guys, but we edited out all the jokes and put it on

2:38

the air with your name on it. That's what Last Comic

2:40

Standing was. Well, that that is pretty

2:42

much what's gonna happen here. That's I feel

2:44

like the subtext of the entire

2:46

show is that you're

2:49

gonna try to get me fired, that you're

2:51

we're going to talk about subjects and it's gonna

2:53

get edited out, and then you're gonna end up getting

2:55

angry or booted off doing

2:57

this in the first day. Oh yeah, I have bitten every

2:59

single hand it's ever fed me. Even if you're

3:01

not even trying to feed me. You know, if I just see a hand,

3:04

I try to bite it. Um, it happens to me

3:06

a lot in the bathroom. They didn't even want this title, by

3:08

the way. No, they fought us in the title. They said the title was kind

3:10

of too cocky, The Vanity Project. And you're like,

3:12

have you ever seen Anthony Justin do anything?

3:14

Yeah, they were saying it was too negative, like

3:16

this is like the nicest thing that anyone's ever

3:18

said about you, The Vanity Project.

3:21

Well, let's really let's talk about why we have the show,

3:23

Greg, because I mean, they know who we are, they know who

3:25

you are than who we are, but they don't know why we have a show

3:27

together. Like, why would I ever want to do this?

3:30

Why would I ever take time out of my schedule to be a part

3:32

of something like this. Why don't you explain? Well,

3:34

it's yeah, it's a bad career move, but

3:36

you're doing it because we're friends.

3:39

Going back to college, were best friends. We're

3:41

best friends. Controversial decision

3:43

at my wedding, Um, you know, well we'll

3:45

get into that some other time, but we are

3:48

we are best friends and we

3:50

have been since uh freshman year

3:53

of college at two Lane. Um.

3:56

We we met. We we were in the same fraternity

3:58

at two Lane. We both moved out here

4:00

together in Los Angeles when

4:02

we graduated from college. We also spent the

4:04

summer out here before that. You know, we've

4:07

kind of lived out here at the same time.

4:09

We've lived in New York at the same time.

4:11

And this is our chance to do something

4:13

cool together, something creative. This

4:15

is your chance to do something cool period. You

4:18

wanted to do it. I wanted to do it. I wanted

4:20

to do it. I wanted to do something like when

4:22

I don't when I'm on podcast, you know, I never have to care

4:24

that much because I'm a guest. Usually I can just get

4:26

that read East

4:28

and ellis one yes. But now that I'm

4:30

doing this with you, I'm gonna put in just as much

4:33

effort, Like this will be no different. So

4:35

I kind of like just watching you scorm. I'm

4:37

not squirming. I mean I I look at it

4:39

as a chance of two friends. You get

4:41

a chance. How many chances in life are you gonna get

4:44

to do something with your friend that that could

4:46

be cool, creative and that people

4:48

alike. Well, the NFL network as any say, probably

4:51

zero, probably no chances.

4:53

So let's let's get to some We're gonna talk

4:55

football on this show. We're gonna talk

4:58

full comedy, football, comedy,

5:01

friendship, entertainment. Yeah, we're

5:03

gonna talk about our friendship. How about children,

5:05

what's going on in life? Yeah, you're the godfather

5:07

uh to my daughter and

5:10

and my son. Don't forget about him. Well, you boys

5:12

have to remind you, you know, well you decided

5:14

to choose him. Um, you know I

5:16

had asked you to be my god uh

5:18

father to my daughter a long time ago, and

5:20

then you you said it would be unfair to come

5:22

over and not give my son Walker presence

5:25

as well. Exactly I spoiled like your daughter just turned

5:27

four years old, and tell him what I gave her for for

5:29

for fourth birthday? What did you

5:31

give her? Now? I remember I gave her.

5:34

I gave her sapphire

5:37

studded hair Oh my gosh, sapphire

5:39

studded hairclips, which she responded

5:42

to with I already have a hairclip. And then I

5:44

gave her a diamond necklace which your wife will not let

5:46

her wear. Well, you went, you went to the Emmy

5:48

Sweets gift and sweets before and you wouldn't

5:51

have gone out and bought her hundred dollar you

5:53

know, hundreds of dollars worth of diamonds.

5:55

It would have been like a smash and grab type of thing. We're

5:58

just gone into a case and just gone buck while

6:00

until I came out with stuff. But you happened to the birthday

6:02

party was on the same day that you went to this Emmy gift

6:05

being sweet and then just bam, I just

6:07

went to places and I was like, give me something for a four year

6:09

old girl, and I like that. We don't really do that. We actually give these

6:11

to celebrities so they can wear them, and I said, give

6:13

it to him, and you thought you were being a hero, but ultimately

6:16

I just put them away. I was like, this, these are

6:18

not you know, appropriate gifts for four

6:20

year old. She's just gonna eat them or throw them away.

6:22

But I'll give it back to her, you know, when she's eighteen

6:25

or something. Yeah, you guys acted like I gave her naked pictures

6:27

of myself. So what

6:30

have you been up to lately? Anthony? You it's

6:32

been a big week for you. Your Netflix special

6:35

came out. Thoughts and Prayers just came out on Friday.

6:37

It's been very well received. Article in the New York Times

6:39

today, I was gonna bring that up. I mean, this is

6:41

that that has to be the first article ever

6:43

written about you in the New York Times, I think, I mean,

6:45

you've been probably mentioned before, but this was basically

6:48

a think piece about you.

6:50

Yeah. It was about like how how

6:53

political correctness isn't ruining my comedy. It helps

6:55

it, you know, because I kind of go against that,

6:57

and every way it was. It was a great article. Was an honor to have

7:00

and mentioned. And I just finished a tour. I

7:02

was on tour with Oddball Festival UH

7:04

for the last eight weeks, and actually I had

7:06

a great I had a football running on Sunday

7:09

I finished that. We finished the tour in Dallas, Dallas,

7:11

Texas, and I got to meet Tony Romo. Tony

7:14

Romo, Yes, I got to be perfect. I got to meet

7:16

Tony Romo. And I'll say this

7:19

before I tell the story. I like Tony Romo

7:22

as much as I can like a cowboy.

7:24

Does that make sense? Like I'm a Steelers guy. You know that.

7:26

I don't really like other players. I don't play fantasy because

7:29

I don't have to root for anyone else. But I like Tony Romo.

7:31

He seems a good guy kind I have Red Sox fans

7:33

felt about Derek Jeter for the most part,

7:35

They're like, well, you know, yeah, they respect the

7:37

way he plays the game. You know, he seems like a cool guy.

7:40

If he played on my team, I'd be like, oh, he's my favorite,

7:42

but he's not. Um. So, I

7:44

get to the show and they're like, Oh, Tony Romo is gonna be

7:46

here. Tony Romo, I guess was in the movie train Wreck

7:48

with Amy Schumer, which I saw, but I don't remember

7:51

him in it, but I guess he's in it. I

7:53

didn't see Tony Romo and that he I think he must

7:55

have done a quick cameo or something. Was he

7:57

in that scene with my

8:00

r of Albert the worst scene in any movie ever? I

8:02

love that. I

8:05

love that scene. You're wrong about that. It's

8:07

a great movie and that's the one of the worst scenes. Marv's

8:09

one of the best act one of the unknown

8:12

um acting talents of this century.

8:14

Marv Albert, Well, you know what, I agree

8:17

to disagree, all right. So I

8:19

get them like Tony rom was gonna be there, and I'm

8:21

like, Okay, I'm not that excited, but I'm like all right, whatever.

8:24

That just means like more celebrities backstage, so

8:26

I'm kind of wondering. I'm trying to avoid them. And in

8:28

my in my dressing room, I have like a rider where I have alcohol

8:31

in the there's a bottle of tequila, bottle of vodka. Tonight,

8:33

I'm drinking vodka. At the end of the tour, I've

8:35

got I have pulled myself a drinking. I'm wandering around and the

8:37

tour manager comes up to me and he's

8:40

got a little concerned. As I goes, Anthony, we might have

8:42

to get you another bottle of vodka. I

8:44

say, why, what does that mean? Because I mean, this is my

8:46

bottle. It's in my contract, like something bad has

8:48

happened if it's not there anymore. I like that it's in your

8:50

contract. Oh yeah, everyone has. Everyone's

8:53

gotta ride or something. Backstage. Mine is mostly full

8:55

of booze, maybe a pizza, some turkey

8:57

sandwiches, And they say the

9:00

the vodka has gone. Tony Romo took

9:02

your vodka. Wow. Now

9:05

you know, I'm not a violent person, but I get angry

9:07

pretty quick. And I immediately become furious

9:09

because I imagined Tony Romo walking into my dressing

9:11

room, a room with my name on the door, walking

9:14

and taking my bottle of vodka and leaving, and I'm

9:16

furious. I'm like, where is he? Show

9:18

him to me right now. He might have seen you ahead

9:21

of time and been like, this guy thinks

9:23

he's the best looking guy here. He sees you

9:25

as a threat. I

9:27

mean, I'm sure he sees me, but

9:30

I think he probably just saw me walking around was like, that

9:32

looks tasty. I want it what that guy's having. You know,

9:34

a lot of people look at me and they think, what's he doing?

9:36

How can I copy it? But I'm ticked him,

9:38

like where is he? And they go, no, no, no, Tony didn't take it.

9:41

They say Amy gave it to him.

9:43

He said, could you have any vodka? She's like, does

9:45

Amy Schumer? And in Amy's defense,

9:49

I had just told her that earlier in the day, I threw

9:51

up in a Starbucks. That's how hungover I

9:53

was. Threw up in a Starbucks at three in the afternoon. So I

9:55

don't need that vodka. But it's still mine,

9:57

you know. So I'm a little annoyed. I'm a little bit I'm

9:59

gonna let it go. I'm gonna let it go, but I'm still kind

10:01

of ticked about Tony Romo drinking my vodka. He's

10:04

having fun backstage. All of the crew

10:06

they are all Seahawks fans and they're

10:08

furious they just lost that game and they hate Tony Romo

10:11

and they're like, antone, keep with we took your vodka, and I do

10:13

you mean to get him out of the backstage? You mean to clear

10:15

him out? So right before I go on stage, they walk

10:17

up and then like Tony, you gotta you gotta get out of He's like looking

10:19

at them like, I'm Tony Romo. Don't they go It's

10:21

for performers, and they just like, with as much

10:24

disrespect as they can push him with this add He's

10:26

still kind of smiling, and I'm about to walk out. The crew

10:28

says Anthony, will be really funny if

10:30

at the end of your set you say the cowboys

10:33

all right, and this is fifteen thousand people

10:35

in Dallas on a Sunday night. I go

10:37

out and I kill I have a great

10:39

set. At the end, I'm like and

10:41

then the crowd's going crazy for me. And so my final night

10:43

of the tour. So Lizabeon, thank you

10:45

so much, Dallas, the cowboys,

10:48

and I turned and and the crowd just immediately goes

10:50

from cheering to booze, like thunderbous

10:52

booze. And I turned to walk around. I go to

10:55

hand the mike to what I think is gonna be Jeff Ross. Jeff

10:57

Ross has been hosting the tour, and said, Tony Romo

11:00

walks out and takes the mic

11:02

from me like he's going to introduce Amy, and

11:04

he's kind of smiling, but he's also like, I heard full of

11:06

what you said. So I just go, oh, I know you.

11:08

You're the who took my vodka. And

11:10

then I handed the mic in front of fifteen thou people,

11:13

and I thought about dropping the

11:15

mic on the ground. That would have been amazing. It would

11:17

have been amazing, but also been not been as classy

11:20

as just yelling the cowboys.

11:21

And so that's what I

11:23

think of when I think of you, when I think of this entire

11:25

story, I come out with it that

11:28

class. Yeah, you can picture me wearing

11:30

a tuxedo as I tell it. But

11:32

then I walked backstage and the entire crew was looking

11:34

at me like they just saw a ghosts

11:36

like we can't. We were joking, we said yeah,

11:38

the Cowboys to all of these people. But

11:41

I am a hero now to that entire crew.

11:43

And in Tony Romo's defense, afterward, he came up

11:45

to me, we talked. He was very nice,

11:47

he was very complimentary. But when he went out on stage,

11:50

he takes the mic and he's like, Hey, every

11:52

in the place is going nuts. They love Tony Rome. When he goes,

11:54

I don't know who that guy was, but I think

11:56

he said some some pretty inexcusable

11:59

things about the Cowboys, and the crowd is kind of like, what

12:02

like an excuse? Okay, He's like, how

12:04

about we never invite him back to Dallas

12:06

ever again? Huh? And I'm just sitting backstage,

12:08

like, right, Tony, you're gonna ban me. I don't

12:10

think so. Tony Romo has that kind of power.

12:13

He really does. They use a god in uh

12:15

in Dallas. They loved him, so he loved him.

12:17

You're not really missing much and not going back to Dallas.

12:20

I like Dallas. That that that story made

12:22

me think a couple of things. First of all, Tony Romo

12:25

he should be a hero to Seahawks

12:27

fans for what he did dropping the

12:30

extra point in the two thousand seven

12:33

Playoffs. Great moment for Seattle. Jeff

12:35

Ross was Tony. Jeff Ross was

12:37

gonna bring him out and roast him before he introduced

12:39

Amy, and everyone was so excited than Tony was

12:41

like, no, don't roast me. But when after

12:43

he introduced Amy, Ross came out and he goes, oh, sorry,

12:45

guys, Tony Romo just fell and got injured himself backstage

12:47

again crazy.

12:50

I also want to know, like, what what led

12:52

to the Starbucks Starbucks puking?

12:55

I mean, like had described that moment in terms

12:57

of the different low moments of your

13:00

life. Where where does that rank.

13:02

I've seen you puke in some like ugly

13:05

places, so I guess maybe it doesn't rank

13:07

that high. No, it's pretty empair. I mean the fact

13:09

that it was like four in the afternoon and I just eatn like oatmeal

13:12

and a cup of coffee. That was tough. But whenever I go

13:14

to Austin, Austin, Texas, what does it to me.

13:16

I'm not a bit I'm not like a crazy drinker. But I

13:18

enjoy my too. I enjoy hurting myself

13:20

in certain ways. But yeah, Austin two nights

13:22

in Austin, Texas, I will be throwing up in a in a coffee

13:25

house the next day. But I did make it to a bathroom,

13:27

which is everyone's first question, because if

13:29

you throw up in a bathroom Starbucks, it's way better

13:31

than throwing up in the middle of a Starbucks.

13:34

Yeah, that's like one of the cleanest places you could

13:36

be a Starbucks night and

13:38

day. Let's uh, let's

13:40

go through some headlines, shall we? Should we go through

13:42

the stories of the day, don't

13:44

you don't. I don't know if we can top that story each

13:46

show would be nice if like, yeah, this is

13:48

a show about sports and comedy,

13:51

you know what I mean? If I could tell another professional athlete

13:53

themselves every week, that's pretty amazing about it. Um,

13:57

But why don't we go through some

13:59

of the headline You go through the

14:01

headlines, I'll jump in if I feel like it. If not, I've

14:03

got my phones. I can just kind of scroll through

14:05

some things. Cameron Heyward been

14:08

in the news this week, my boys,

14:10

steel You're of course a big Steelers fan,

14:12

big Steeler fan. I loved Ironhood. I loved his dad

14:15

because he played for pitt Yeah, and he played

14:17

for the Saints. We of course they're

14:19

kind of closet Saints fans. At least, I am a little

14:21

bit adopted. Yeah, they're mind like my second

14:24

favorite team. Ah. He got in trouble

14:26

this week, of course, fined by the NFL

14:29

for wearing his eye

14:31

black the iron Head

14:34

on it, you know, honoring his father. It's

14:36

express cancer month, but he just wanted to honor

14:38

his father who he lost, and

14:41

he did it for a second straight week, even after or

14:44

uh he was fined. Um,

14:46

it turns out the NFL and him worked out

14:48

some sort of agreement. I don't know if they reduced

14:51

the fines or who knows. Maybe they

14:53

agreed to donate something to a certain charity

14:55

they have. They've dropped, dropped the issue.

14:58

What happen? The NFL is in the right here.

15:01

I mean, I understand why they're doing it. I understand.

15:03

I mean I think that the best way you can honor

15:06

your father is by writing his nickname on your face

15:08

for a little, for a couple of hours a week. You know,

15:10

that's you can't really mess with that. I think

15:12

it would be funny if he got like

15:15

the iron Head eye black just tattooed on his face,

15:17

and then what would they do? Yeah, they couldn't do anything

15:19

about it. Or they might just go back and say

15:22

edited for content. Ah, did

15:25

I go too far? That joke's

15:27

not gonna make it. That's not gonna make it. They're just gonna cut

15:29

that. Maybe not I

15:32

was thinking of. I was thinking of, like

15:34

when I initially saw you were in the New York Times

15:37

today, I was thinking of immediately emailing

15:39

that too. Um the particular

15:41

Shadowy League figure that said he didn't

15:44

laugh at our show, that he hated our show the

15:46

first time, And I was gonna be like, just let us have

15:48

the title that we want. They

15:50

have. This guy has an article in the New York Times.

15:52

But then I was looking and

15:54

in the third paragraph of the article,

15:57

it basically mentions all the different types of

15:59

joke that you had, and it said something

16:01

like molestation. Uh,

16:05

cancer was one of them.

16:07

What else did they have? Pretty much all the greatest

16:10

hits, all the bad ones. They could add breast

16:12

cancer. That would be good to add the um

16:15

the other headline this week, I

16:18

don't know how to get out of that. Donuts,

16:23

Donuts, Donut Time, what they called the donut

16:25

Party. The Minnesota Vikings

16:28

have a donut club

16:31

which they get together every

16:34

Saturday morning, very

16:36

early in the morning in

16:39

the morning, well at seven fifty in the morning, the Minnesota

16:41

Vikings have an unveiling

16:44

of the donuts, but you can't touch

16:46

them for the first ten minutes, which seems ridiculously

16:49

childish. I don't think so. I think that was like the part

16:52

that made sense to me was that they make everybody

16:54

like when I heard When I first heard about the story,

16:56

I first I thought, like, people are gonna get mad at them,

16:58

you know, like if this this is the Vike, but it was the Steelers.

17:01

Because I just heard Donut Party, I'm like, are you telling

17:03

me the entire team wakes up like three

17:05

hours before they have to on a Saturday morning, eats as

17:07

many donuts as they can. Because that's what it sounded like. That's

17:09

not that's not great athletic behavior.

17:11

Well not only that, but Jared Allen,

17:14

who was featured in the piece of Former

17:16

Viking, had the right idea that one of the they

17:18

had many rules of donut club, and including

17:20

don't talk about donut club, but

17:23

that's been blown out of the water with this article.

17:26

One of them was you have to show up on time. There's no one shows

17:28

up late. But Jared Allen got around

17:30

it. By he would pay for the donuts. Every week. It's

17:32

strolling an hour and a half or two hours later

17:34

when they actually had to be there. He seemed

17:36

like he knew what he was talking about. I mean they're talking, they're

17:39

acting like donuts are some sort of contraband,

17:41

like the like the toughest thing that you could smuggle in

17:43

that you have to take a look at it for ten minutes. And it's

17:46

only three dozen donuts. It's not that many. I mean,

17:48

I don't know what donuts cost, but

17:50

it can't be it can't be that much. Yeah,

17:53

but it does sound like a bad idea. It's not healthy.

17:55

If they were like getting together eating kale or like protein

17:58

shakes Saturday morning, I can put your J. J.

18:00

Watt like knocking down three dozen donuts.

18:02

They had shirts, I know, so

18:05

they get together every Saturday morning. They all

18:07

have the donuts. It's a special team bonding

18:09

thing. One thing I thought immediately was like, they're

18:11

not doing this. The Miami Dolphins aren't doing this,

18:14

you know, the New York Giants aren't doing

18:16

this because there's something to do in New York or

18:19

Miami, Like this would only happen in in with

18:22

multimillionaire athletes living in Minnesota.

18:24

Well only once voting season is over, that's

18:28

smoot. When I first heard about

18:30

this, I thought it sounded like fraternity hazing, you know what

18:32

I mean? It sounds like like the what do they call it, the Cracker

18:34

game, which we don't have to go define, but I think

18:36

people will know what the Cracker game is. Um.

18:39

It sounded like a gross what the Cracker

18:41

game is. And we were in a fraternity, but we never

18:43

had to using with the Cracker game, have to

18:45

do something like that, I I find do you find like I

18:47

don't usually volunteer the information

18:49

that I was in a fraternity. I'm embarrassed by

18:51

it. We weren't very fraternity games, like

18:53

we we like we pledged as freshman

18:56

and went through all the hell of like hazing, and then once

18:58

we got in, we were like, this is stupid. Why did we

19:00

do all this? And we never really showed up much after that. We weren't

19:02

really good fraternity members now, and they didn't

19:05

Two lanes different because it's just kind of like you go

19:07

out into bar. You know, you can go to bars when you're eighteen.

19:09

No one's really living in the fraternity house.

19:12

In particular, like three or four people are, but

19:14

not that the whole fraternity. It's just kind of like a

19:17

a party thing. But even then I'm

19:19

embarrassed. And then the one we were in was the most

19:21

lazy, like young fraternity

19:23

ever. Yeah. I just remember having to do a lot of push ups.

19:26

Remember once having to like hang from a statue

19:28

in the middle of Audubon Park and put

19:30

a giant bra on like Lady Justice

19:32

while you guys all ran laps around the fountain. What

19:34

you remember. This was like four in the morning. It was a rough

19:37

that was it was hell weak. I don't remember anything.

19:39

And then for the most part I remember. I

19:43

remember the crab oil was used.

19:45

That was kind of scarring. I didn't have to mess with

19:47

that because I was I was pretty. I was so lazy and

19:49

I had to mess that. I got to leave early every

19:51

day to go work my job cold

19:54

calling high school students. That's what

19:56

I did, but that was not good at

19:58

One thing that you know, listeners

20:00

would definitely not know about me, but you know about me is

20:02

that I have the worst memory of

20:05

anyone I've ever known. And one reason why

20:07

I like to keep you around, other than

20:09

you know your celebrity. And

20:12

uh, the exorbitant gifts that you

20:14

give to my kids are that

20:17

you remember things about my past,

20:19

my college experience, you know, time

20:21

in New York, really anything to do

20:24

with the last ten years. When you can tell me

20:26

about it, it's like hearing in the story

20:28

for the first time. It's like awakenings. Yeah, I once

20:30

reminded you about your wedding? What

20:32

about it? Just did it happen now? And

20:35

I also, I mean, I think I get deserve more credit than that.

20:37

I think that I think I'm responsible for

20:39

your entire sports wedding career. How

20:42

do you figure? Okay, you want me to break it down.

20:44

Okay, we lived in l A together. What were you doing when you first

20:47

got to l A. I

20:49

was actually holding the job

20:51

that you could have had,

20:53

or should have had initially were

20:56

slated to have. I was an assistant at

20:59

a movie action company, UM

21:01

Hallway Pictures that had a

21:03

deal with Warner Brothers. We just

21:06

kind of geared towards making African American,

21:09

uh, you know style movies. Information

21:12

you should have been like, I was an assistance. I

21:15

like the details. Cut everything Greg

21:17

said and just put in you weren't assistant, Greg

21:20

and so I and I

21:22

told you. I was like, you should be a sports writer, Greg,

21:25

reach of your dreams, start a blog

21:27

online and start writing sports

21:29

stories every day. And you did

21:31

that. And then I

21:33

bought you a Peter gammon'sobble head doll, which

21:36

I think was the inspiration for you to really

21:38

take that next step and leave Los Angeles and become a

21:40

professional sports writer. And now here we are,

21:42

well, you know, your whole bit is you

21:45

know sarcasm, right, So I'm not even

21:47

sure if you really did tell me

21:51

to start writing in a sports

21:53

blog that actually sounds told

21:55

you to do that, because I did do that. Yeah, I started writing

21:57

a baseball blog while I was in Los Angeles,

22:00

and then I got really tired of doing

22:03

various assistant jobs and I was a

22:05

page at NBC and other stuff

22:07

and got sick of it and then left l A. I

22:11

could, I could say that your entire

22:13

career is at least

22:15

partially that I'm

22:17

responsible for it. How did

22:19

how did you make ends meet? When

22:22

we were out here? I gave

22:24

you like every job that you ever got,

22:26

and you got fired from half of them. I had a job.

22:29

I had a job at NBC Productions,

22:32

and I was kind of an assistant

22:34

to a producer there as well, and she would

22:36

have you know, jobs and shows. I

22:38

think you worked as an accounting clerk

22:41

at American Dreams. I

22:43

believe was I got you that job?

22:46

You got fired from that? No, I got laid off

22:48

the end of the season. I didn't get fired. And then the woman had re hired

22:50

me on Deadwood, and then she rehired

22:52

me on the unit when I stabbed turned the back ms

22:56

literally it literally,

22:58

stabbing her in the back would have been more pleasant than what I actually

23:00

did to her. Well, now I want to know what you did there. Not

23:03

to get too far off topic, because that

23:05

story about the the email my accent, we'll

23:08

tell another episode. We'll see if the NFL lets us

23:10

keep going. Maybe during the playoffs, I'll tell that

23:12

story. Well, part of my whole pitch was like,

23:14

this is gonna be really real. You

23:16

know what I mean? This is these are two friends,

23:20

um that have us friends best friends,

23:22

that have a genuine relationship

23:25

that's actually written to the contract that I have to say

23:27

that each time Anthony insists. And

23:31

I think one thing that you've got to think about,

23:33

Anthony, is if

23:36

that's how it is, how real you're

23:38

really comfortable getting you know what I mean, Listen,

23:40

I don't think about things, Greg, I know about them

23:42

because your whole bit on stage, I mean,

23:45

it's not a bit if

23:47

you used to if you use the word stick right now, I'm

23:49

leaving. Whose my mind cut

23:52

that? Please? Uh?

23:55

You know you I wouldn't you know? What

23:57

would you? How it would people describe you on stage? It's

23:59

kind of woudn't say it's a character, but it's an

24:01

amped up version

24:04

of yourself in real life. You're a You're a pretty nice

24:06

guy. I'm much nicer than I am on stage. I

24:08

would just go on stage, I'm like, I'm like Darth Vader

24:10

had and the Devil had a baby, you know what I

24:12

mean, that sort of thing. But off stage, I'm just like,

24:14

slightly slightly, I'm I'm pretty

24:17

much only nice to you and your immediate family. But

24:19

that's enough. Can you're really nice to us? Yeah?

24:22

You used to be nice to some members of your family,

24:24

maybe maybe less less of now your brother.

24:27

I guess i'd throw that. That's what I'm trying

24:29

to get in in here, is that you know, if we're gonna

24:31

do this, you know you have to be comfortable, they're

24:33

getting really real. I'm I'm happy

24:36

to get real. I just feel like the sole responsibility

24:38

of being real is on me. I feel like you couldn't

24:40

be real, you know, on the real

24:42

world. That's how unreal you are, that's how fake

24:44

you are as a person, and that if the

24:46

responsibility of being real is on me, then

24:49

I get to dole out how we do it. I'm

24:51

not going to tell all of my stories. It's not okay

24:53

what you just said right now. We're

24:55

best friends, you know what I mean, That's what happens. So

24:58

I guess we can each claim

25:00

responsibility for each

25:02

other's career. Were an one, you

25:05

know what I mean. I looked at you and I was like, how do I not

25:07

end up like that? I mean, what

25:09

what can I do? I was living my dream pretty

25:11

early. I got a job at Rhoda World and was

25:13

was loving it pretty early. I went to a lot

25:15

of give me a break. I went to a lot of your lousy

25:18

um early stand up sets. You were great

25:20

from the beginning, and I and I thought you were going to do

25:23

big things right away because I saw all the

25:26

no talent hacks

25:28

that were around you that I was forced in anyone that lives

25:30

in Los Angeles inevitably has some sort

25:33

of stand up friend or something where they have to go

25:35

to a lot of these shows. And it's the most painful

25:37

thing ever because I would, I mean, it was a regular part

25:39

of my life to go to you know, these stand up

25:41

shows where it was you one or

25:43

two pretty funny people and like seven

25:45

people where you could not be less comfortable

25:48

watching them perform. I felt bad if you, guys,

25:50

you would have to come to that because they called bringer shows. We

25:52

have to like bring five friends to

25:54

watch you. So not only that, I am I making guys

25:56

watch these hold people. You're seeing me do the exact

25:58

same jokes at every single night

26:01

that was. I do owe you a debt for that.

26:03

Except were you with the first show

26:05

I ever did? I don't think

26:07

so you weren't. I don't know. Did I have an

26:09

option ie with

26:11

the every once in a while, like to just kind

26:13

of give you something that lets you

26:15

know you don't have me all the way? You

26:18

know, I just want to, you know, keeps

26:21

you wanting more. Fred

26:24

Jackson this week, do

26:26

you know a team he's on? Now? Back

26:28

the headlines? Why not? Let's do it? I mean, we'll

26:31

keep talking. Uh

26:33

Fred Jackson this week? Do you know what team he's on now?

26:35

He's on the Seattle Seaks. I don't want to test you. You're a pretty

26:37

big NFL fan. Just for people listening

26:39

to this, Anthony's not one of these um

26:42

people you see on television that says they're a fan

26:45

just to kind of like that that's going to get them in

26:47

with the male demo or something.

26:49

I mean, you're a pretty hardcore sports fan

26:51

watching Sports Center every night that I'm not really worried

26:53

about my placement in the mid demo. I think I got it.

26:55

I got it nailed out. Uh. But

26:58

but you know, I am a fan. I'm a diehard Steelers, but

27:00

I followed the rest of the league. You know, I know what's up.

27:02

Um, Fred Jackson got into a big car

27:04

crash. Fred Jackson has been one of my favorite players. I

27:07

wouldn't even say a big car crash when he

27:09

hit a street sign, but it was

27:11

played up like it was a

27:14

big story initially on TMZ and

27:16

that proved to be, uh, factually

27:19

wrong. We never had any of that on NFL

27:21

Network. But he but he did get into an accident.

27:24

Um initially it was said that Marshawn

27:26

Lynch was there and

27:29

they were drag racing. He was not drag

27:31

racing. He just showed up afterwards, uh,

27:33

and was seeing you know, it was on his way out of the out

27:35

of work, and he was seeing that his teammate was all right. He

27:38

was all right, there's no charges, there's no nothing.

27:40

Seahawks Backfield's gonna be fine.

27:43

Um. But did you when you heard that they were drag

27:45

racings? Did you believe it? Because I believed

27:48

because it was on TMZ. But it's still but TMZ

27:51

they get things right sometimes. Like it's like those guys

27:53

have such nice cars, like Marshawn Lynch

27:55

has a Lamborghini in his driveway that uh,

27:58

I met a guy on this tour who

28:00

he says he's from Seattle and he's the same

28:02

driver as Marshawn Lynch. This guy picks up Marshaw on

28:04

every like whenever Marshawn needs to arrive

28:06

for something, whether they're going to games or going going

28:08

on the road whatever, he says, he pulls into

28:10

Marshawn's drive when it's a really small driveway, big

28:13

house, small driveway, and he's got a Lamborghini, a

28:15

brand new Lamborghini in the front, sitting

28:17

there, and whenever the guy pulls in to pick up Marshawn,

28:20

Marshawn comes out, puts his luggage in the guy's car,

28:22

and then so the guy can turn around in the driveway,

28:24

he walks up, picks up the front

28:26

of the Lamborghini with his hands, lifts

28:29

it up like Arnold Schwarzenegger in Twins

28:32

turning off a car alarm, and then moves

28:34

it over a few inches so the guy

28:36

can back up and move around. Superhero,

28:38

Could you imagine lifting up your car every time someone

28:40

had to turn around your driveway? Like amazing.

28:43

It sounds like a car I want, But it doesn't sound

28:45

like a guy who would race his team might have to practice, Like,

28:47

Hey, I'll race you to that street sign. Whoever hits

28:49

it first wins. I could see those idiots doing

28:52

that, Fred Jackson, it's not an

28:54

idiot. Maybe Lynch, I

28:56

don't know. They both seemed crazy. Um,

29:00

What's what else do we want to talk about? How

29:02

about how about NFL

29:04

network? Um

29:07

really kick started a story this week

29:10

and I was there when it happened, at least when it got

29:12

on air. And you know this whole hubbub

29:14

happened that I don't know if you saw this,

29:16

that that briefly the

29:18

NFL network UM showed

29:21

some nudity during the show

29:24

last Sunday for an

29:26

interview where Albert Brier was

29:28

interviewing Adam Pacman

29:31

Jones formerly Pacman Jones

29:33

in the Bengals locker room. But in the background there

29:36

was a bunch of Bengals guys and you know, they

29:38

briefly showed some nudity

29:40

and uh, you know, the players or

29:43

the the analysts afterwards cracked up a little

29:45

bit about it. You know, it was clearly embarrassed. It was

29:47

never shown again. The NFL network eventually

29:49

apologized about it, but it's become a real

29:51

story because the Bengals complained,

29:54

you know, one of their players that was pictured nude

29:57

UM was really upset and offended

29:59

by in the NFL. LPA president Eric

30:01

Winston, who's also on the Bengals UH

30:04

says this is an issue for them. It's been an issue

30:06

for a while that they don't that that that nudity

30:09

having to be naked in front

30:11

of players is

30:14

like is a problem, which totally makes sense to me. Said,

30:16

and what other workplace are we gonna have to be

30:18

do you have to be naked in front of

30:20

it? It's not about being guy girl sports

30:23

writers there anything like what other things

30:25

like we need to have more time and there is a

30:27

ten minute cooling off period where they get

30:29

to change and everything, but it's not enough time because

30:31

you've got to play, you know, the coach is given a big speech

30:33

and you've gotta shower and all that, and that

30:35

they want to come up with the situation so

30:37

that this never happens and that they never have

30:40

to have you know, their wang in front

30:42

of America again, or any of the sports

30:44

writers. I feel like this is like a really passive aggressive

30:46

way for you to tell me to put close on right now. I

30:48

feel like the reason we do a podcast so

30:50

I can wear whatever I want and this is how uncomfortable.

30:53

Um, but yeah, I think there's a lot of ways that the NFL

30:55

can deal with this. One of course, bathing suits

30:57

for every player you wanted all times.

31:00

Another thing is body paints, body

31:02

paint, ritual body paints. That would be good. You can

31:04

see them naked, but you don't really know what's going on.

31:07

That feels like it would be more time consuming,

31:09

you know, like who would be putting on the bat

31:11

the body paint like before the game, Heyward

31:13

Hayward would paint them up, put put

31:15

his put his dad's initials all over the players

31:18

bodies spram down. Um

31:21

no, I think that would be. That would be very like Zaki

31:24

wearing a bikini or was he naked? You don't know, it's

31:26

body paints. Um, I believe the

31:28

King. I always I always thought the body paint thing was

31:30

a little I don't know. It's like

31:32

people that got really excited about the sports

31:34

Illustrated some body paint issue, Like I

31:36

get it, but it's like there's porn everywhere.

31:40

Plus they look even better in just the bathing it's

31:42

still like airbrush like I would

31:44

like, wouldn't you that the bathing suit

31:46

like that? That's great? That was great. I mean at

31:48

a certain pointed because Greg

31:50

wasn't funny. Is any of this gonna

31:52

be on the show eventually? Brandon? Are

31:55

we just talking to ourselves at this point? I don't

31:57

see why any of it will

31:59

get cut. Okay, none of it

32:01

seems too much. Well,

32:04

we'll see what happens. Alright. It's

32:07

not my favorite, so one

32:09

of our things if it works. You know, one

32:11

thing you know, just speaking to the listeners,

32:13

and please give us feedback, give

32:15

me feedback, give Greg. Yeah,

32:18

Anthony, I'm not going to check your feedback. I don't

32:20

need to know. You're very un social

32:22

media friendly or just unfriendly in

32:24

general. Yeah, I kind of ignore

32:26

if you if you if you like, if you take the compliments,

32:29

you also have to take the insults. And I don't care about there

32:31

that criticism. You know. I I perform

32:34

publicly, like live, so the audience tells me

32:36

what I need to know. I don't need some I don't need some

32:38

fourteen year old in Iowa tweeting

32:40

at me that he didn't like my last joke, whether he doesn't

32:42

think this podcast is funny enough or

32:45

that that you should be replaced. You know. I

32:47

don't want I don't want to be reading things like that. But

32:49

you can, you can. You can tweet Greg and

32:51

I love it. That was one thing, you

32:53

know, and that Anthony came up

32:55

with in the NFL, and NFL was considering

32:58

that have someone play

33:00

for this podcast, like just

33:02

have a guy that was like, hey, it's Anthony's

33:04

longtime friend, but with more personality,

33:07

maybe like five or six inches taller, you

33:10

know, ability to roll with the punches, come up

33:12

with some jokes a little better. Who are they going to get

33:15

for that? I don't know, Fred

33:17

Savage, I get a lot on Twitter speaking of

33:19

which, really I know Fred. I worked for Fred once.

33:21

Really Yeah, he directed the Garflonus

33:24

episode I was on. Edited to keep Greg's

33:26

job, just truined to take that

33:28

out. Um. What

33:31

I was trying to get to was, you

33:33

know, I want this is an evolving show. The

33:36

title could change, right.

33:38

It was Originally it was gonna be, uh,

33:41

the Anthony, Greg and Anthony Show, because

33:44

Anthony insisted that his name be first

33:47

and last. Um.

33:50

Eventually that got overruled. Uh,

33:52

the network didn't really like it was gonna be the Greg

33:54

and Anthony Vanity Project. But they

33:56

didn't really like that. They wanted Jesselnik to be in

33:59

there because they think just America is going to iTunes

34:01

and randomly searching. Not just America.

34:03

I think it's international now, So

34:06

we went with that. So that could change. And what what I'm

34:08

trying to get to is it's a pretty free

34:10

flowing podcast, clearly, Um,

34:13

but we might you know, want to come up with some weekly

34:16

segments. Sure we could do that. And if you guys have

34:18

things you want to know, you want to hear us talk about, you

34:20

want to ask us questions, feel free to uh,

34:23

feel free to do that and Greg will take a look at him.

34:25

So I did throughout some questions

34:27

this week. Uh, it was a little or

34:30

asked for some questions on Twitter. It was a little last

34:32

minute. What's least minute? Greg, Well,

34:34

we've been planning this for quite some time. What what

34:37

time do you send out the things we have? And we were

34:39

on the phone last night, for instance, for a while

34:41

when you said last minute, do you mean like a couple of days ago

34:43

when I send out like you know, we were sending out

34:45

emails. Frankly, I've done more preparation for this than

34:47

just about anything else. Um,

34:51

a couple hours before before

34:54

the show didn't get great. It didn't get a ton

34:57

of response, It didn't get great responses. Uh.

35:00

How many followers do you have on Twitter? I've

35:02

got over a hundred for sure.

35:04

Uh, yeah, over one fifteen

35:07

or so, over

35:10

a thousand. There

35:13

you go, look at that, A breaking digits

35:15

just from our friendship. That's great. Please,

35:18

now it's gonna really explode. I don't I

35:21

wish I could follow you on Twitter my best friend, but I can't.

35:23

Yeah, it was a little disappointed with you and some of your

35:25

you know, high Acdane and celebrity friends once followed

35:27

me, but then they got sick of my They've

35:30

got sick of my football analysis. I

35:33

get it. Yeah, you don't want to hear about good

35:35

analysis Buccaneers offensive line or whatever.

35:39

So please send us, send us more questions

35:41

next time. Tell us tell us what you think of the show.

35:44

Um, but I do got a couple of them, so uh

35:46

edited for content, Let's go to

35:48

uh Eric. The last name was a little

35:51

confused Laren Laryen tebby Laren

35:53

to be would

35:56

you trust leaving your daughter or

35:59

god daughter? Um? I

36:01

added that, uh, you know, in your case

36:03

with Ben Roethlisberger as a babysitter,

36:07

will you go first? You go first? Okay,

36:10

I'm happy that I'm happy to leading this first

36:14

of all, since it's a god daughter's situation. Nice and I

36:16

love, I adore your god daughter. But I would leave

36:18

her with just about anybody. I don't think I'm really legally

36:21

responsible for what would happen. So, and

36:23

I think that Ben has turned what I

36:25

call the Jesus corner. You know, when like players

36:27

getting so much trouble, they just start saying Jesus in every

36:29

interview they give, and then it like means they're

36:32

forgiven and it's okay after that. Ben's in

36:34

super Jesus territory right now. He

36:36

makes uh he makes some name.

36:41

Yeah, he makes Russell Wilson look like the guy from

36:43

the Exorcist. Uh So, I'm

36:45

I would trust Ben with just about anybody edited

36:48

to keep your interest. Sure, would you be afraid

36:50

that he would throw your daughter for three fifty yards?

36:53

Because that would be pretty wan a pretty big

36:55

screw up baby. Sitting wise, who was the player

36:57

in the NFL that you would most trust your daughter with? Oh?

37:00

Wow, that's a great question,

37:03

because I feel like Tom Brady. I immediately

37:06

thought of just because you know, you know, wouldn't he wouldn't

37:08

feed her, She'd starved to death. What do you what does that even

37:10

mean? He's a weird he's a weirdo. He eats.

37:12

Wouldn't give her, he wouldn't give her soda. But

37:15

that's good. You don't want her having soda. I give

37:17

her soda a chance. I got she's grown, girl's

37:19

very against it. Um

37:22

who else is? Look at the very responsible. What

37:24

about Peyton Manning. No, he's

37:27

from New Orleans. No, you don't

37:29

want I mean, I love I like the Mannings.

37:31

They're from New Orleans and all that, But just I

37:33

I feel like he hasn't. I

37:35

don't think he's he's the one carrying the fathering

37:38

load in that family? Does he even he does

37:40

have that? Have you ever seen Peyton

37:43

Manning's wife? No, does

37:45

anyone know that she's I mean she she's out there. I thought

37:47

he was married to that lady who owns Papa John's. It's

37:54

really stretched face right back, that

37:56

one. You should stay on the mic

37:58

and just laugh the whole time. But it's

38:02

gonna be great, Uh, great

38:05

for the show. So uh, Anthony,

38:07

you had this idea of how we

38:09

would end each show every

38:12

week. You wanted to make some predictions, and

38:15

but I'll let you because

38:17

here's what I wanted. I wanted to do, Like Greg and I are gonna

38:19

talk. You're gonna hear are you know us

38:21

talking? It's fun to hear friends discuss

38:24

things, a lot of them football related. But at the end, I want

38:26

to have the kind of a heart out and be

38:28

able to kind of do predictions for what

38:31

I think is going to happen the next week, and it's gonna

38:33

be kind of like a comedy bit where we're

38:35

gonna try it and if

38:37

it doesn't work, like if if it works, you're gonna

38:39

hear us do the bit. If not, as soon as I'm

38:41

done talking right now, there's gonna be a cut and

38:43

then you're gonna hear us say, well, that didn't work, and that

38:45

will be the end of the show. And either way, I think

38:48

the comedy value is is sky high.

38:51

And you came up when we first you know, we're talking about

38:53

doing this show back in the summer. I

38:56

mean you came up with all sorts of crazy ideas,

38:58

clearly not sober when you

39:00

came up and came up with them at all. Last

39:02

night though, we were just talking that this was a sober

39:05

idea, and uh, and I'm pretty excited

39:07

for it. I'm really not. I'm worried. I'm worried about

39:09

it. You should be a little worried, and I was not so. But

39:11

we talked and then I got less sober and I came

39:13

up with this idea. But here's the idea. It's it's predictions.

39:17

Greg is gonna give me the matchups. I'm not gonna tell

39:19

you who's gonna win. I'm just gonna

39:21

tell you whether or not I believe the matchup is

39:23

going to end up being crunk or

39:26

funky funky fresh. And if you don't know

39:29

the difference, I don't really have time to explain. It's not that long

39:31

a podcast. But I will

39:33

tell you which one I believe will be. In the next

39:35

week, maybe we'll go back and see if I was right. But

39:37

what is even the difference? You're gonna have to find

39:39

out. But what I told you when I told them got my

39:42

wife this idea that she did start dying

39:44

of laughter. Well, I think because you're

39:46

married or she doesn't get a lot of humor in her

39:49

marriage, so that whenever I can kind of step in and

39:51

uh, you know, take the brunt, she does. She is a

39:53

big jes like fans I want. It took me the

39:55

time to when you're it's taken a little bit. You you

39:58

she warmed up and when you over. Okay, let let's

40:00

go through. Okay, through are some some

40:02

of the big games of the week. Uh,

40:05

let's really start on on the Sunday games. Depending

40:07

on when people are listening to this, um

40:10

New Orleans at Indie Annapolis,

40:13

New Orleans at Indie in Indianapolis,

40:15

I'm gonna have to say, that's gonna be That's gonna be funky,

40:18

funky fresh. If it was in New Orleans, I would

40:20

have gone crunk, you know. I feel like New Orleans

40:22

is a great crunk field advantage. But

40:24

if they're gonna be an indie Indie coming off

40:26

that embarrassing loss to the Pats,

40:28

I think it's gonna be a funky, funky fresh game for

40:31

sure, and you can take that to the bank.

40:33

The Jets at the Patriots this

40:35

weekend. Jets at Patriots, this

40:38

is gonna I wish you would save this till the end, but I'm

40:40

gonna have to go crunky, crunky fresh. Uh.

40:43

It's kind of a mixture of the two. Again,

40:45

if it had been in New York, I would have said

40:47

funky, funky fresh. Going to Foxboro,

40:50

You're gonna get a little crunk in there. You can't not, you

40:52

know what I mean. It's kind of just the fox

40:54

Bow mentality. I think the Patriots have a lot to prove

40:56

in terms of how how fresh they are,

40:59

but not so much how funky. Though. I think they've kind of proved

41:01

their funkiness. So I'm gonna say crunky, crunky

41:03

fresh. I like how you describe whether it would be different

41:06

if it was in New York but in New England, because

41:08

that's when you think New England in foxbur you think crunk.

41:11

M No, you know I

41:13

messed it up. I've ruined the whole

41:15

thing. No, I think it's still going pretty well. Dallas

41:19

at New York Dallas.

41:21

I mean, that's a big game in the NFC Dallas that you

41:23

New York Tony Robbo won't be back for this. You

41:25

know your buddy still

41:27

he's still drinking my vodka somewhere. Uh,

41:30

let's see Cowboys in New York. I'm

41:32

gonna have to go crunk. That's

41:35

it. That's it's you know, it's it's a coin flip.

41:38

To be honest. I could have said funky, funky fresh

41:40

and been confident, But I'm gonna say crunk. Why would

41:42

you not be honest? I'm I'm

41:45

being almost too honest. Maybe if I lied, then

41:47

we wouldn't be wouldn't be going through these questions. Philadelphia

41:51

at Carolina, good Sunday

41:54

night game this week. That's a great Sunday Night game.

41:56

Uh, you know what I'm gonna say. The first

41:59

top is gonna be krunk. The first half is gonna

42:01

be crunk as hell if I could, if I'm allowed to talk like that

42:03

on the on the show. Second half a

42:05

little less crunk, a little more funky funky

42:07

fresh. And then the fourth quarter if you're if

42:09

you're like allergic to funky funky fresh, turn

42:12

the TV off and throw it out the window because you're

42:14

gonna die. So

42:16

I reminded you wanted to go through sixty

42:18

games of this and I'm kind of cutting

42:20

it off. Last one Monday

42:23

Night Football, the Baltimore Ravens. Uh.

42:26

I thought they were gonna be a good team, so that's why

42:28

they're in prime time one in five. But going

42:30

to my favorite team other

42:33

than the Patriots this year, the team of the Around

42:35

the NFL podcast there at the

42:37

Arizona Cardinals. The Arizona Cardinals

42:39

are coming off that lost to the Steelers, which was a beautiful

42:42

game. Baltimore needs this one,

42:44

so I'm gonna have to say. I'm

42:47

gonna say across the board funky funky fresh

42:50

on this one, and I mean, no one else is

42:52

gonna agree with me. I know when the NFL network people are gonna

42:54

that's the saying that you would go funky

42:56

funky Freshman, that it's the most obvious

42:59

crunk thing of the week. You have Arians and

43:01

the Kangle Hat, you have Carson Palmer,

43:04

you have Tyrone Matthew,

43:06

you have pet Patrick Peterson, you

43:08

have the whole desert thing. And

43:10

if that doesn't scream chrunk, what screams

43:12

cronk Anthony? Other games? Give

43:15

me the give me the next sixth team. That's

43:18

it. That's over. There's no way

43:21

that's making it in is it? That's definitely making

43:23

it. And that was great improvisational

43:25

gold. You know, we brought back funky funky

43:28

fresh I feel,

43:30

and you know what, let's let's leave it in

43:32

and the next week if I was wrong about any of these,

43:35

we can go back and cut it out. Now here's

43:38

the question, though, what describes

43:40

it being wrong? Do we have a

43:43

classification for that? It'll be

43:45

well, it'll be let's

43:48

not be up to Brandon. I was just excited

43:50

for the game that you didn't throw in there.

43:52

Based on Anthony's love of location,

43:55

going Bills Jaguars in London. Oh

43:58

okay, well, all right, and

44:00

then you helped the show for the first time. There was

44:02

Great Jaguars in London, Bill's Jaguars

44:05

in London, six thirty in the morning. You have to wake

44:07

up and listen and watch it only

44:10

on Yahoo being streamed

44:12

internationally, first time ever where you were. That

44:14

is even be the first NFL game that no one watches.

44:19

Chronker funky funky fresh. This is a great chance

44:21

for me to break up my accent. It's

44:23

gonna be krunk, mate, is

44:25

he would you like a little funky funky

44:28

fresh love? That's the worst

44:30

thing. That's why they don't have you play

44:32

characters on TV shows. It's

44:35

just you know, if you if you're out of show, you're

44:37

just playing Anthony Jesslinik. Yeah, I know,

44:39

of course I only played comedians. Is

44:41

that Crocodile Dundee two? Like? What's

44:44

that? That was? That was? That was the Queen

44:46

of England? That was the Queen? All right, Bill's

44:49

Jags Funky funky fresh, funky funky

44:52

funky fresh fresh. Um,

44:54

well, who knows, maybe no one even heard

44:57

the rest of that segment. You said that there's a chance

44:59

that we would cut it all out, but let's be honest. Once you

45:01

do three or four minutes on anything. You're gonna

45:03

fall in love with it. We would never cut anything. I think

45:05

this is the best part I would I would edit this to make at

45:07

the beginning of the podcast this

45:11

is the end. Then how would you close it? We

45:13

do need to close it. Do you have it? Do you

45:15

have any um any partying

45:17

words? Because this this really could be the first

45:20

and last UM time we ever

45:22

do this. It's very possible. Um, why don't

45:24

you end on like a real note? Tell me how are

45:26

how are my godchildren? And how how is your daughter

45:29

and your son? Well? Um Walker

45:32

has been fast
