0:00

We are back. Welcome to another episode

0:02

of The Rosenthal and jessel Nick Vanity Project

0:05

r j v P. They canceled

0:07

our last episode, Anthony, but they couldn't

0:09

cancel the show. We are Sunday night football

0:12

in a world of Thursday night football. That's

0:34

right, we're back. Thank you to

0:37

all the listeners who were concerned

0:40

and worried that we were taking

0:42

off the air. Of course, episode six

0:45

of The Rosenthal and

0:47

jessel Nick Vanity Project. We'll

0:51

never be heard, but it's cool

0:53

the NFL is letting us continue,

0:55

and I think that's something to be celebrated. Yeah,

0:58

and I'll say this guy's you know, it was nice to seep were

1:00

being concerned and being upset on Twitter, but

1:02

it doesn't help our cause. Like if you

1:04

say, like NFL, where's our r j v P, you

1:06

know, we needed this week like that just makes them

1:09

want to bring us back less. So I

1:11

we I appreciate it. But in the future, if

1:14

these things happen, and then they will happen, it's

1:16

a guarantee. Please just support

1:18

us, you know what I mean? You can leave the NFL out

1:20

of it. We know what we're doing. We

1:23

know exactly what we're doing. Yeah, I would say that the

1:25

level, it's not like they're angry.

1:27

I would say they're more just annoyed,

1:30

annoyed that I didn't have to happen. I

1:32

think refused, you see, confused and upset was

1:34

like your was it was? It sounded about

1:36

right to me, and that's that's fine, you know what I mean.

1:38

That's where the we're the bad boys, you know, were

1:40

the bad boys of the NFL network and uh that

1:42

these things are gonna happen. Lot of chatter around the office

1:44

is people just wanted to know, like, what what

1:47

is the theme? You know, what was the

1:49

theme that got us in trouble? And

1:52

I think just maybe saying the theme

1:54

itself isn't necessarily that big a deal.

1:56

Let me let me try and see if I can explain it in

1:58

the simplest terms possib because you know, no one will ever hear

2:01

it. It's been deleted. There will no one will ever hear this. But let

2:03

me just try to explain

2:05

to you guys. Um what we did was

2:08

we kind of tried to edited

2:11

because of course it was and

2:13

you know I think that uh you know

2:15

that should that should give you a hint of

2:17

of what of what happened. Um,

2:19

and again I think that that's the best explanation will ever be

2:22

able to to have. But things

2:24

are a little bit different on this episode

2:26

of The Rosenthal and Jocelyn mcvanity

2:28

Project. Come

2:30

on, Sydney. By

2:33

the way, I didn't even mention Sydney Carlson.

2:36

That's what I was getting into. I was talking

2:38

all right for before Sydney interrupted

2:41

with her own competence. Um we Uh,

2:44

Brandon is not here today. The Brandon the producer

2:46

who was I think, uh looking

2:48

But judging by Twitter people talking about the show

2:50

is the is the l v P, so

2:52

the least about he will play. People do not like it when he talks

2:55

um. And we got into a little bit

2:57

of a kerf fluffle. I guess last

3:00

episode nothing to do with the show being being

3:02

deleted, but Brandon and I had a little

3:04

little tension. I'm not gonna say who won the

3:07

battle. But I am here today

3:09

and Brandon is not. Brandon

3:11

is uh in Pasadena coaching

3:13

a girl's basketball team intramural.

3:16

I think of from what I understand, am I wrong? Laughing?

3:19

That's also rock well some of it is true.

3:22

You you and Brandon legitimately

3:25

have blocked each other on Twitter. I blocked him

3:27

on Twitter. He blocked me. Now I can't unblock him because

3:29

I don't know how that works. So I think because we both blocked

3:31

each other, it's like a it's a Twitter Now

3:33

part of my gig, you

3:35

know, being part of this show is playing

3:38

kind of like, you know, marriage counsel between

3:40

you and Brandon, who haven't been getting along. But no, he

3:43

is not. He's not coaching girls basketball.

3:45

Listen if he announces, he announces

3:48

cow State Fullerton women's basketball,

3:50

So he's doing that well way different. Um

3:53

uh. You know, you know, it's not like your marriage counselor

3:55

it's like you don't even a marriage counselor if you bump

3:57

into somebody at a bar and you guys start having words,

4:00

that's what it is. It's not a big deal. Maybe he'll

4:02

be back next week. We'll see how Sydney does. Maybe

4:04

I demand, maybe I use my power at

4:06

the NFL to demand that Sydney's on full time.

4:08

Clearly off to a really great start. Now

4:10

you're doing you're doing, you're doing. I'll tell you

4:12

this, you're doing better than Brandon. Uh

4:15

but no, uh, And I'm introducing a new,

4:18

a new thing to the show tonight, just for Sydney

4:20

and uh and for Greg to We're not allowed to swear

4:22

on the podcast. Um, but I like to swear

4:24

a lot, a lot of F bombs coming out

4:27

of me. But I think now we're gonna do

4:30

a thing where anytime I use

4:32

the S word, we're all

4:34

gonna you know what I mean, So like so

4:36

we would say that like brand is not here, but I don't give a

4:42

thank you. We'll see how that works out. Um,

4:45

but I'm excited to be back. I'm excited to be back on an r

4:47

J VP that I think will will definitely air.

4:49

We'll see how how the rest of this episode.

4:52

Yeah, you couldn't be more excited about that whole idea

4:55

on the phone last night really excited Greg. I

4:57

mean, I know you didn't give a but

5:01

I but I do. I enjoy it. What's been

5:03

two weeks now, you know, since

5:06

we have the show that was shelved

5:08

last week and then we had Thanksgiving

5:11

the week before week. We actually talked about

5:13

Thanksgiving on the show that was put

5:16

in a box and put underground. Yeah, I don't want to

5:18

repeat that, but I will talk about one thing that happened when

5:20

I was in Pittsburgh. It wasn't Thanksgiving was a couple

5:22

of days before I took my I took

5:25

the men of the Justcen mc family, my

5:27

brother and my dad and my brother in law. M

5:29

I still thought she was getting get gonna get to go, and I said,

5:31

no, no no, no, I'm taking your husband. But we went to go

5:33

see a Penguins game. Uh Penguins play the

5:35

St. Louis Blues Penguins one, of course, which

5:37

was very excited about. But I'd never I'd never seen the

5:39

new console, uh consol Arena.

5:42

I've never been to the new Penguins place. I was excited. I got tickets

5:44

on just like stubbub. It wasn't like I got like celebrity

5:47

tickets, but I just got tickets on stuff and they

5:49

were right on the glass. But know how to get

5:51

celebrity tickets? Yeah, I used to my

5:53

My old manager was Jimmy

5:55

Miller, who's from Pittsburgh, big, big

5:57

Pittsburgh guy. Whenever I would go home, I would ask him

6:00

and he would hook me up with like sweet seats for Pirates

6:02

games, Steelers games, Penguins games. But I'm

6:04

no longer with that company. Um uh

6:06

through they would no one got fired. It was just like my

6:08

manager left to go somewhere else, so I can't ask him for tickets.

6:11

So I bought my own. But I was right behind the

6:13

Penguins bench, which I did not understand.

6:16

I didn't know that at the time. But I was like all over TV,

6:18

like I was trending in Pittsburgh

6:20

for a couple of hours, which is sweet. Um. But

6:23

I made my family, I made us all dress up

6:25

the same. I wanted to go get Penguins jerseys,

6:27

so I went to the mall and I wanted to get like old school

6:29

Penguins jerseys, you know, get like some Ron Francis Samario

6:32

Lemieux. We couldn't find him, so I got um,

6:34

I got all jersey. I got us four jerseys of

6:36

players who haven't played for the Penguins in years.

6:39

I got like a couple of Jordan Stalls. I

6:41

got a I got a depot. I

6:43

got again La from my brother in

6:45

law, again La, Sorry again La. And

6:48

everyone behind us was just like, look at these jerks wearing

6:50

jerseys that are like ancient ancient

6:52

jerseys. But it was fun too. It was fun

6:54

to be all over the game I love that you make

6:56

them. Like why do you get to decide what

6:59

they were to the game? Money? Yeah,

7:01

because when I was like, I bought these things for you guys, you're gonna

7:03

wear them, and they were like, uh, we also wear the

7:05

same thing, I'm like, yes, you do. I paid for the

7:07

tickets, you know, I did it all you do

7:09

like a jessel Nick picture, Christmas

7:11

pictures whatever. Yeah, we have a pictures like

7:14

the four of us in front and then from behind, like pointing

7:16

out the jerseys. There's a picture of me yelling

7:18

at my dad because he tried to put his arm around

7:20

me and he covered up a name on the jersey and I'm like, turning

7:22

the dad, take your hand off it. I paid twenty

7:24

five dollars for this jersey, and uh, it's

7:27

a pretty great picture. Old crappy

7:29

Penguins players. Know, they were all great players.

7:31

They all you know, they all contributed, uh

7:34

in their in their time. So it was it was great.

7:36

I would love to tell you about my Thanksgiving,

7:39

but I can't really. I'm really I've

7:41

reached a point with my memory and just life,

7:44

especially like in the regular season where

7:46

every like I live in the moment. People talk about

7:48

you know, they want to do yoga and whatnot to like live

7:51

in the moment, like that's the goal. Like I have achieved

7:54

that. I have no memory. Everything is just

7:56

today. Every day, every week in the

7:58

season is kind of the same. I have no idea what

8:00

happened over Thanksgiving? What you said like

8:02

trying to think of something that happened, Like

8:04

I have no recollection. Are you trying to say

8:06

you did too much yoga and so I forgot everything?

8:09

Yoga? The yoga wipes your memory. I didn't do any

8:11

yoga, no yoga. The

8:13

kid, you know, Walker was sick. That kind

8:16

of you know, that put a little My son Walker was

8:18

sick, I know, and it we'll get to talking about him

8:20

a little later in

8:22

the show. So that was that. That was a little bit of a drag.

8:25

But like every you know, when you have responsibilities,

8:27

and like the NFL season, every day of the NFL

8:30

season, it's kind of like I know exactly where I'm gonna be

8:32

out Tuesday at a certain time, and that's

8:34

it. Thanksgiving it was the same. It sounds

8:36

like you've got a wonderful life. Sounds like it's

8:38

a wonderful life.

8:40

Eighteen Willa Gorillas that would

8:42

gold change Pitchburg like Stiller's

8:46

Hands, Lord of the Crime Lords.

8:48

I was pushing T. I

8:51

was listening to push a T and heard the Hindeswood reference.

8:53

Got all excited and I had to had

8:55

to put it in. That was I was very loud. I don't know if

8:57

we can change that in post, but it was extremely

9:00

I think you gotta crank to push it there. If it's there,

9:02

you can crank it. But that was it was like Sydney was

9:04

like mad at us and wanted to hurt my ears. Um,

9:07

I know, I know you can. I know you can't said you

9:09

wouldn't be here, you couldn't fix all your mistakes.

9:12

Um, it's time for headlines an

9:14

Tonio Brown this week. I just

9:17

had a moment that the

9:19

moment it happened, I just

9:21

thought, that's going onto the

9:23

podcast. Oh absolutely, I mean that was my I

9:25

was watching that game live and I was my first thought too.

9:28

Uh and insane touchdown celebration

9:30

on many levels. Um. And it wasn't the front

9:32

flip into the end zone, which I loved and we'll talk

9:34

about that in a second, but I really enjoyed

9:36

he you know he Steelers were just kicking

9:39

but it really crushed the Colts

9:41

on Sunday Night football and ran

9:44

a punt back. M was a pun or kickoff.

9:46

It's a punt, right, yea, yeah, I ran a pump back.

9:48

And when he gets at the end zone, he does looked

9:51

kind of like what would you call it? It looked kind

9:54

of a it was like like a Teddy Bear,

9:56

kind of like it looked like one of the Pooh kind

9:58

of like running and just jumping on like legs

10:00

and arms onto the goal post, scaring

10:02

the bejesus out of that security

10:04

girl who was standing behind it. I loved

10:06

and I think that he tried to like jump

10:08

on and grab it. Try the stick. He tried to stick.

10:11

He said, he tried to stick. I think he went to grab and when he touched

10:13

her arms, he kind of freaked out like

10:15

he kind of let it go and then fell backwards

10:18

and immediately was penalized. He looked like he wanted

10:20

to hump the goal post essentially. I mean, he did

10:22

fire himself crotch first into a goal post,

10:25

which I mean, even the announcers like this is insane.

10:27

I've never seen anything like it. And he got up

10:29

smiling, so you know he must be wearing two

10:31

cups. There's no way one cup

10:33

would have would have prevented that. Girl runs

10:35

away screaming, he falls down. Everyone's happy,

10:38

and then they penalized him for using the goal post

10:40

as a prop, which is I mean, if

10:42

you just run into it by accident, you don't get a penalty, you

10:44

don't get a penalty flag. But he, you

10:46

know, he went for it. You

10:48

were offended at the at the big hug. Was

10:51

it like, was it like a mooning? Well,

10:53

it looks it looks painful for one

10:55

just watching, looks painful, and

10:58

he just like immediately like flip in.

11:00

They actually did a our research

11:02

department seriously did a

11:04

study. They have something called next Gen stats

11:06

where they know how fast each player

11:09

is going. He was going seventeen miles an hour as

11:11

he headed into the end zone. So

11:14

that, I mean, that's pretty much like a huge

11:16

bike accident. You're going seventeen miles an

11:18

hour as you go into an end zone and then suddenly

11:20

you just stopped going Crotch first.

11:23

Yeah, it was. It was awesome. I

11:25

mean it was kind of like my if you guys remember

11:27

if you guys are our j VP fanatics,

11:29

you know, I talked about more my touchdown celebration

11:31

would be was the throats, last gesture across

11:34

my crotch. It was kind of like that for

11:36

Antonio and I loved. I love what um

11:38

I love what tom One said about because sometimes you get a flag and

11:40

people are like, oh, you shouldn't be doing that. Tomlin

11:43

was said, what do you want me to do? Not play

11:45

them? Which I love. When

11:47

I asked about the front flip in the end zone, he just said. Tomlin

11:50

just said, awesome, play six celebration.

11:52

Move on, like when your coach backs you

11:54

on that it's uh, it's great. And this

11:57

was Greg. This was the moment

11:59

for me. I know we've talked about whether I was gonna get another

12:01

hinds Ward jersey or brown jersey.

12:04

My brother's getting me a birthday present,

12:06

and I went with last yesterday I thought about

12:08

it and I'm going with the brown jersey. That's

12:11

big kind's words placement and to push

12:14

the T song. I mean, I have a hinds Ward jersey

12:16

and older one. It doesn't fit me as well. It's a little too big,

12:18

you know. It was one of those like an ex got it for me and

12:20

it was like they didn't know what the hell they were doing. But but

12:23

I'm I'm still Hind's words, my boy. But I want

12:25

to live in I wanna live in the present as if I did yoga, you

12:27

know, like like you were saying, and uh and

12:29

so I'm all about Antonio Brown now in

12:31

the jersey. That wasn't the only

12:33

celebration that really caught my eye. I

12:35

really enjoyed this week edited

12:38

because Greg wasn't funny. Special

12:40

teams players celebrate everything

12:43

they do. They go crazy the only people for like

12:45

ten seconds every like forty five minutes on

12:47

the field. They celebrate everything. Special

12:49

teams players celebrate. That's

12:53

not gonna make That's kind of Vegas show. I

12:56

am. The

12:59

best thing out of it, persis Clementi with

13:01

the Pirates. I'll tell them

13:03

this middle finger sound for silence. That

13:06

was Mac Miller. Another Pittsburgh

13:08

reference from a Pittsburgh rapper. And now

13:10

I've got to say something. New rule from

13:12

the NFL this week. I thought they would

13:14

come down on us for content after the last

13:17

week, but they did not. Their new rule is, Greg, you wanna

13:19

tell me what you told me yesterday? Yeah,

13:21

The new rule is that we can no longer

13:24

use the

13:26

songs that we use as you know,

13:28

interstitials between each headline, except

13:32

we can use two songs. But that's it.

13:34

And in fact, initially there was a very

13:36

serious meeting where the head of head

13:38

of the podcast department told me we can now only

13:41

use one song, one ten second

13:43

clip, one time ever and

13:46

that's it per show. So you get ten seconds

13:48

per show of songs

13:51

like mac Miller or push a T. It

13:53

was then I don't know what happened. There's I

13:55

think they're just making things up. But a day

13:58

or two later, Sydney, you've been involved in these meetings

14:00

too, they or two later we did get the word we can now

14:02

use two songs ten seconds.

14:05

That's it for the whole. And see, these are the kind of rules

14:07

that really bother me. You know, I was okay with the

14:10

NFL, you know, erasing all the last week's

14:12

podcast because I understood, I understood why. I

14:14

mean, it wasn't it wasn't a wasn't an issue

14:16

for me. But this kind of rule, this two soong rule,

14:19

is one of those arbitrary rules that networks

14:21

give me a lot that I cannot stand because there's no reason

14:23

for it. They just picked the number two out and

14:25

they just gave that to us. It could have been six. It could

14:27

they could have even us a hundred if they wanted to. So I'm

14:30

going to reject this, Greg, I'm rejecting

14:32

the rule. I'm gonna I'm I'm gonna bite the hand

14:34

that fads me here, and I'm going to keep

14:36

on playing hip hop,

14:39

top shelf hip hop, my favorite songs,

14:41

uh from today, and I'm gonna gonna go back.

14:44

I'm gonna go back, you know, maybe maybe twenty years

14:46

with some classic with some classic hip hop jams

14:49

as we keep going. So maybe

14:51

this is our last episode because of this. I don't think so.

14:53

I think uh, I think the copyrights are gonna be okay.

14:56

But um, but let's just let's talk about

14:58

the next story. It would be really disappointing.

15:00

And that is what's called the professional tease ladies

15:02

and gentlemen. That I mean, people are now really waiting

15:05

for that high shelf hip hop

15:07

that's going to be coming up now after all of these

15:09

headlines. But this, it would be kind of sad though

15:11

after I don't know, after doing the show last

15:13

week and they they shut that down, Like if if

15:16

just this these songs were the reason

15:18

we can't continue. This is a hill I'm willing to die on because

15:21

it's because it's such an arbitrary rule. It just makes it

15:23

makes me sick, It makes me want to puke. So I'm going to

15:25

I'm going to completely ignore it and we're gonna keep on

15:28

playing hip hop. Sydney's got my back, He's

15:30

gonna play all my jams. But let's talk

15:32

about this next this next hup, we could be taking down Sydney

15:34

with us, which I'm willing to accept. Uh.

15:37

Kirk Cousins this week lost that Monday

15:39

night football game. It's very exciting

15:41

at the end. Redskins, Cowboys. Kirk

15:44

Cousins. If you don't know, very positive

15:46

guy. Um with no reason

15:49

to be positive. It's

15:51

gotten him pretty far in life. You know, he's the starting

15:53

quarterback of the Washington Redskins

15:56

and Uh, he had a

15:58

postgame press conference that that

16:00

really tickled my fancy. I

16:02

love that question because you're thinking positive

16:05

and that's the way we need to think around here. You know, there

16:07

was a results space business. The result wasn't what we

16:09

wanted, but the process we did some good things. We

16:11

can build on that and we can start

16:13

to create something long term that could be

16:15

pretty special if we continue to find ways

16:17

to just keep playing and give great effort.

16:20

So I appreciate that question, Thank you for

16:22

staying positive. I I cannot

16:24

stand when quarterbacks don't act like quarterbacks.

16:27

Kirk Cousins sounds like like a divorced

16:29

dad who's trying to trying

16:31

to make Christmas okay for his kids even though he couldn't

16:34

buy hm any presents. You know, they're just sitting around,

16:36

like the sitting around like a like a like an old and

16:38

old Christmas treatment. Guys, isn't this great where

16:40

a family were together? Like look at this, he's

16:42

it's he should have been fired on the spot. Well,

16:44

so should have the person who asked the question, who

16:47

prefaced it by saying, you know, I know that's

16:49

a tough game for you. But

16:51

when when you're in hard times like these,

16:54

like do you find you know something? That

16:56

person should add their press credentials

16:58

removed. That that's the most ridiculous

17:00

homer sort of question ever. And

17:03

and for a player to

17:05

call you out twice in an answer and

17:07

say how much they appreciate that

17:10

particular question like that is the last

17:12

thing you would ever want to hear you're

17:14

a reporter now after unless he said,

17:16

let's the reporter residence and actually, Kirk, you

17:18

know what the reps were wrong. You actually won

17:20

that game and it's gonna go in the record books as

17:22

a w then he can be as excited as he was

17:24

about that question. You just lost to like the worst

17:26

team in the NFL at home at

17:29

home, could have been in first place. He reminds

17:31

me a lot of Andy Dalton on

17:33

and off the field. We talked about Andy Dalton's

17:36

reaction that J. J. Watt about a month ago

17:38

and how much that annoyed us, and Kirk Cousins

17:40

has a lot of similarities. He's

17:42

actually a likable guy. I read this piece and on

17:44

the MMQB by Robert Klempo about

17:47

him. A very likable guy, but totally

17:49

exactly what you say, like a guy. There's no way

17:51

that the rest of his teammates are watching that press conference

17:54

and thinking that's our leader. He's a guy who

17:56

absolutely wants it too

17:58

much, like when the article really

18:00

let it know that, like he just wants to be so

18:03

good that he's the one that's gripping the

18:05

ball too tight at

18:07

the end of the game. And I mean you can hear

18:09

it with with that answer, Yeah, absolutely,

18:11

I'm not a I'm not a Kirk Cousins fan and

18:17

f L never can tell schools

18:20

in session ding ding with the bell. It's

18:22

all good, baby baby bear. I'm

18:25

not even gonna tell you who that was, but that's I

18:27

mean, if you don't know who that was, she zam it because

18:30

that's classic hip hop. People like

18:32

people asking for a list of the songs

18:34

that we play. No, we're

18:36

not gonna do that. That's too much. Figure it out yourself.

18:38

Honestly, if you don't know that song,

18:42

just throw away your record collection, throw away

18:44

your computer because you're not a music

18:46

fan. We're bringing it back old school

18:50

and we're bringing it back with the classics. And

18:52

just to hear a song like that in two thousand

18:54

and fifteen again, it's awesome. I used it because

18:56

it referenced the NFL and I'll give you a hint.

18:59

Sugar Hill Gang um

19:01

all right next to next headline, Like when

19:03

you just say next headline, I guess if I'm not gonna just

19:05

start talking the Bills. The

19:08

Buffalo Bills this week and

19:10

their fans are back in

19:12

the news every week. Really, my favorite

19:15

running subplot of the two thousand

19:17

in fifteen season is the amazing

19:19

work being done by dead Spin dot Com

19:22

and the intrepid fans in

19:24

the Buffalo Bills parking lot in

19:27

stands every game. Now, for a lot

19:29

of listeners, you might not know what I'm talking about. Every

19:31

week dead Spin has some

19:33

sort of insane sexual

19:36

activity happening in

19:38

the Bills parking lot or in the in

19:40

the stands. This week it was

19:43

particularly agrees is. It was a

19:45

boyfriend humping,

19:48

which is a nice way to put it. I'm not trying not to

19:50

get deep his girlfriend from

19:53

behind, uh, just in the middle

19:55

of the parking lot. They both have Bills jerseys

19:57

on, and someone you know, just kind of like sneak

20:00

lee took out a cell phone. Yeah, and they were

20:02

they were trying they were trying to have a baby

20:04

in the part. I think that's a better way to put

20:06

it. Um to a couple of things

20:08

about this. First of all, the video of

20:11

them, of them, you know, trying to reproduce

20:13

in the parking lot is just labeled savage,

20:16

which I cannot stand. I don't know when savage

20:18

became like the word to go to, but on

20:21

Twitter a million times a day. People just call me savage

20:23

like and it's a compliment. I mean,

20:25

for me, it's a compliment. I don't know for them it's a compliment.

20:27

But I can't I don't know where it came from and why everyone

20:30

is on board with it. I get Fred Savage a lot.

20:32

I believe that I'm not even joking they I always

20:34

get that. I mean, that's totally different, but I get

20:36

a lot of You're the guy from the Wonder Years,

20:39

Kevin Arnold. I worked with Fred Savage once

20:41

I yelled at him. Once I yelled, I got to yell him.

20:43

He was directing an episode of a TV show I was in

20:45

and I had I had I had seen where someone

20:48

had thrown up on me and he's he

20:50

was like, ladling peace soup onto my, onto

20:52

my like boxer shorts and T shirt and

20:55

it was so cold. There

20:57

was a girl funding notes we've seen it with someone

20:59

vomits on me, and as he's throwing it on me, it was

21:01

so cold that I just screamed out, damnit Savage,

21:04

and everyone started laughing. I was like,

21:07

this is so great. If I was watching The Wonder Us as a kid,

21:09

I never thought I'd get to grow up and yell at Fred

21:11

Savage. Secondly, uh

21:14

Savage? Aside this Bill's humping thing. I think

21:16

it's amazing because I don't

21:19

know if this happens

21:21

at Bill's games every week and

21:23

and only Bills fans are doing this, because

21:25

if so, then I'm moving to Buffalo immediately. I love

21:27

it. I love their behavior. Or is

21:29

it that this happens everywhere? Is every

21:31

fan base all over the country doing this at home games?

21:34

But they're just not snitching on each other, They're

21:36

just not recording it and reporting it to to

21:38

dead Spin. I think it's a Buffalo thing.

21:40

I really do. There's another video from last

21:43

week of I think a couple in

21:45

the in the upper deck, uh edited

21:48

because we baled too hard? What is

21:51

what is going on in in Northern

21:53

New York, Western New York? Rather? I mean,

21:56

it's like, it's an amazing thing. It makes

21:58

me respect the Bills fan base for

22:00

whatever reason, a lot more that they've

22:03

got a little more edge and a lot more

22:05

going on than I that I used to think. I think. I mean,

22:07

I don't know how much of respect them, but I did. To me,

22:09

they remind me, and I do I enjoy

22:11

them, but to me they seem like freshman

22:13

in college, like just got through orientation

22:15

and like all excited they get to hook up without their parents around,

22:18

and then like all taking pictures and banging on each other's doors

22:20

and we're trying to make out. I think that's uh, I think

22:23

that's hilarious. I just wish they'd stopped narking

22:25

on each other. I think

22:27

it may be something to Buffalo doesn't get a lot of

22:29

press as fans or just

22:31

in general, and it's maybe like once one or two

22:33

hit dead Spin, everyone was just like,

22:35

this is our ticket, this is our ticket

22:38

to get Buffalo on the map. Like people

22:40

don't really know what to think when they think

22:42

of Buffalo other than cold or

22:44

Buffalo Wings. And now it's copulating

22:46

in the parking lot and choke slimming people through

22:48

tables to

22:56

chessel Nick, it's all good,

22:58

baby baby back. I'm

23:01

not gonna tell you that was either that was a little

23:03

more new school. That was more

23:06

of like uh that, I mean, that's that's in the last

23:08

eighteen months. I think it came out and it wasn't a single.

23:11

It's kind of a it's a B side, but but

23:13

it's it's it's really good so uh, whoever,

23:16

who you know a fan of yours? Sure

23:19

clearly, sure I like the shout out, but

23:21

but I uh, I don't think I think it was I

23:23

think it's a coincidence. Our

23:26

next story is about Brett Farve,

23:28

who has been making it into this show quite

23:30

a bit. Of course. Uh, he had his retirement

23:33

ceremony a couple of weeks ago. We

23:35

actually talked about that on the

23:37

show that was shelved last week, but we're

23:39

not going to go back there. But he's back in the news

23:41

now, um because

23:43

of this story that CBS

23:46

Sports did looking back at Brett

23:48

Farve talking to former former teammates

23:50

and stuff. Yeah, exactly, talking to play different

23:53

former players and teammates

23:55

all giving their best Brett Farve

23:57

story. And the Mark

24:00

Runell's story really

24:02

cracked me up. And the short version

24:04

of it, well, first every other story is like it's

24:06

fourth and twelve, you know, we really needed

24:08

this. Brett's in the huddle and he doesn't even care, He's just so

24:10

cool, and then he throws an eighty year bomb. Like every

24:13

everything else was game related except for

24:15

Mark Burnell. Yeah. Mark Brunel told

24:17

a hunting story and it was essentially when

24:20

Brett Farve was a kid. Uh.

24:22

They were trespassing on some property.

24:25

They had a twenty two rifle,

24:28

not not really what you should

24:30

be hunting with, and uh, they

24:32

wanted to go see if they could shoot

24:34

a deer and knock it down. And

24:37

uh, and they did and they got

24:39

the deer, Uh, but he was flopping

24:41

around and they thought they werenty in trouble. They thought

24:44

they were going to get in trouble because

24:46

the deer's making a lot of sounds. That's what happens

24:48

when you shoot them with too

24:50

rifle as a kid, and so they figured

24:52

the only way to kill the deer would

24:54

be to drown him in

24:57

a puddle. Yeah, alive, alive, do here?

25:00

Um who's been shot several times with the

25:02

twenty two. They took its handler's

25:04

and they drowned it. Took it took a while, and

25:06

he's and Brett's describing the gurgling sounds

25:09

and the bubbles come up until they finally kills

25:11

it. And that's a horrible that's a horrifying

25:13

story. That is, if if you told me that, Greg,

25:15

we would probably not be friends anymore. That's such a

25:17

horrifying My mom, who has not enjoyed

25:19

the animal cruelty parts of this podcast. Is

25:22

not gonna find that story. No one

25:24

does, except except Brett

25:26

Farve and Mark Brunell. Mark just kept

25:29

saying it was hilarious. We were all cracking

25:31

up over lunch. We just can't get enough of

25:33

this story where he tortured a dear to

25:35

death. He's so yeah, the way

25:37

he told that story, we were crying laughing. It

25:39

was gut ache type of laughing. He's

25:41

like, I'll probably get in trouble for this, but

25:44

it's one of the funniest stories I've ever

25:46

heard, and there's been no blood. We're like the first people

25:48

to talk about it. It's insane. It's insane.

25:50

Well, the other the other part of the stories

25:53

that cracked me up was the one I think

25:55

it was Tie debtmer or was it

25:57

koy debtmer I

26:00

I mistake my debt Merse. I know, Sydney,

26:02

you're probably a fan of the debts. I

26:04

am a fan of Tie. I

26:06

don't know much about coin Sid. Sydney is a

26:08

b y U grad and uh so

26:10

is Tie deptmer I believe and

26:13

she didn't tell me, Gret. I can just assume

26:16

by the way that you're handling your duties

26:18

that hopefully

26:21

that's a good, good thing. I'll

26:23

leave it up to you. What you major broadcast

26:26

journalism? Oh would

26:28

you minor? And not that? Uh

26:31

communications, I guess that's

26:33

wrong. Deptmer was telling the story

26:36

about how one day during

26:38

mini camp season, like, they could not

26:40

find Brett Farve. They're like, they don't

26:42

know where he is. They start practice and

26:45

then all of a sudden, in the middle of practice,

26:47

like Brett Farve just like runs onto the field,

26:50

like his uniforms on kind of wrong. His

26:52

hair's all messed up, and he's smelling

26:54

like alcohol. He smells

26:56

like liquor. And they're all just like, oh that

26:59

Brett of that bread Like imagine

27:01

if Johnny. That's so much worse than Johnny

27:03

Menzel being out at a club

27:06

and then lying about it to his team.

27:08

But they're just like that that crazy

27:11

alcoholic bread fire. Things have things

27:13

have changed, things have changed. It's

27:21

all good, baby baby back. That

27:25

was that was that was like the same

27:27

part of the last song, I mean a different part of the

27:29

same song from before. Again, I'm

27:31

not gonna tell you what it was, but it's in the past eighteen

27:33

months and a good one I found. There's

27:36

a common thread between some of these

27:38

songs. They all have a they all have a similar

27:40

ending. That's uh, I think that's just

27:42

the way hip hop is today. You know, I don't

27:44

I didn't notice what you were talking about. But

27:46

but they're all they're all good. Bill Belichick

27:49

in the news this week just for a

27:52

funny picture, uh

27:54

that came up and

27:56

basically turned into a Jeff and a

27:58

meme and all that stuff of

28:01

him addressing the NFL's

28:03

only female official, Sarah

28:05

Thomas. It's a great picture on the sideline and

28:08

he's essentially in some sort

28:10

of discussion with her where he's talking about

28:12

the rules. But when the picture is snapped,

28:15

Bill Belichick basically just has his arms

28:17

around like a round her shoulders, as if

28:19

they're like drunk at a bar, and he's like trying to make his

28:21

move. Like the picture looks bad, like

28:23

it looks like he's hitting on her. And when I first saw it, I

28:25

was like, he's got to get some sort of fine for this.

28:28

But then I I saw the video and

28:31

he's just trying to demonstrate something he saw on the field.

28:33

Like it's clear that he's trying to show like a hold. So

28:35

if you watch the video, Belichick

28:37

only has his hands in her shoulders for a second before

28:40

he throws her to the ground and stomps on Hey

28:45

yo, Roger in the morning, Roger

28:48

Afternoon, Roger in the evening.

28:50

Get that a lot to do? It's

28:52

all good, baby, baby, I

28:55

love that Jack. That's a good one. Was

28:58

Yeah, one of the really like toplicle when

29:01

Goodell came onto the scene and he was

29:03

just like blowing up everywhere. People

29:05

just were going crazy. A

29:08

lot of shoutouts for for

29:10

Goodell A lot to do. What's the name of that song?

29:13

The Green Bay Packers this week, Um,

29:16

there was a report that they

29:19

chose not to sign a player,

29:22

Alonso Harris, because

29:24

they were worried that he would be a bad

29:27

influence on his buddy Eddie

29:29

Lacey. Now for a little backstory, Eddie Lacey

29:32

was benched for the Thanksgiving game.

29:34

He's had um problems with his

29:36

weight this year. Uh, he's

29:39

now had problems with being tardy.

29:41

Uh there's been some rumors about substance

29:43

abuse and things like that, and so the

29:46

Packers basically, uh,

29:48

it cost this guy a job essentially that he

29:51

was a friend of Eddie Lacey. Because they were just like, no, we

29:53

don't want we don't want this guy around

29:55

Eddie Lacey. Uh. It got me thinking,

29:57

Anthony, who what f and

30:00

has been the worst influence

30:03

on you? You know that that's a good question. First,

30:05

I wanted to talk about this for a second. I like when teams

30:07

do this, I like the Steelers would do it all the time.

30:09

The Steelers got rid of Plexico because

30:12

because he was like he was becoming good friends with Ben and they

30:14

would like write up place for each other and stuff, and they're

30:16

like, we gotta get this idiot out of here. Uh,

30:18

get him to New York Garrett Blunt after

30:21

he was caught smoking with Levyan

30:23

Bell and they want to and around

30:25

on the day. I want

30:27

to save Levian. So I like, when teams do this the

30:29

worst influence on me, I think it's like not applicable

30:32

because I'm like the bad influence, you know, I'm

30:34

like the I'm always the one. If I was going to have one

30:37

bad influence on me, I would say in college, you

30:39

were the bad influence, Yes, because

30:41

you you weren't as bad as I was. You

30:43

were pretty close. We kind of did the same things.

30:46

We had the same Like if someone had followed us

30:48

around for four years, we would have been charged with the exact same

30:50

crimes. But you had to Yes,

30:53

that's true, but you had a car and

30:55

more money than me, so you it's like it wasn't

30:57

for you. I would have been like a little angel like

31:00

to studying. But because you were like, let's go,

31:02

I'm buying and I'm driving, then then it was

31:04

all it was all good. Who was the who do you think was the

31:06

worst influence on you? Well

31:09

you would be the obvious answer, but

31:12

I actually think our friend Mike father

31:14

this valley another because

31:18

uh, he also had a car, but

31:20

he really didn't care about drunk driving.

31:22

I mean, I everyone, Uh Mike never had

31:24

a car. I'm thinking I'm thinking of

31:26

one one particular time, but

31:29

he I think he was it was you know, the

31:31

three of us were really good friends. Um,

31:34

but I think no matter what we did, me

31:36

and you, that was you know, not

31:39

the best idea. There was like an air of frivolity

31:42

of fun to it. And and Mike had a

31:44

menace behind everything that a little a

31:46

little bit of darkness that added. You know, I

31:48

like your answer so much. I want to change mind to Mike Valdes

31:51

Folli because Mike is now who's now like a PR master.

31:53

He's like now like you know, the top of the world of PR.

31:56

So he could talk you into things. He would call me

31:58

like guys, let's go out, let's go out drinking, like no, I've

32:00

got a final in an hour, and he would

32:02

talk you into it. He would do this, He would find

32:04

some way to do it where you would like you would be following him out

32:06

like I don't want to do this, but I'm doing it

32:08

because Mike made us. He would sell you on

32:10

on the best idea to ruin your

32:12

life.

32:16

My name is Anthony, and I'm here to say

32:18

I'm the world's greatest rapper in a major

32:20

way. It's all good, baby

32:23

baby back. I'm

32:25

not gonna lie that was me. I's gonna

32:27

say, I mean, well that was that

32:29

was just you? Was that was actually me? Yeah,

32:32

I had them, I had them played. I had like I

32:34

went back. Um. It was kind of like some

32:36

early early stuff that I did. But

32:38

but I think it's a good song and I wanted to kind of

32:40

get some some rel I wanna get a lot of Twitter followers

32:43

off of that one. The flow could have used

32:45

a little bit of work, but the lyrics mean,

32:47

it was early, It was early, justly,

32:49

Nick, So you too bad. Fox News

32:52

this week issued two suspensions

32:55

UH to on air contributors UH

32:58

for their reaction to President

33:01

Barack Obama's Sunday night's speech where

33:03

he discussed terrorism, et

33:05

cetera. But it was really one one

33:07

of the reactions that really UH

33:10

sort of cop my eye. Appearing

33:13

on Fox Business

33:15

on Sunday, Lieutenant Colonel

33:17

Ralph Peters was discussing

33:20

um Obama's reaction, and

33:23

his quote was that we

33:26

want you to react, do something you're

33:28

afraid. I mean, this guy is such a total

33:31

it's stunning. I love it. I

33:33

love the fact that,

33:35

uh, that someone would get suspended for

33:38

calling the presidents on the news.

33:40

This guy is like an authority figure to call Obama

33:43

total. And I just liked the idea of like him

33:45

getting called into the office and his boss

33:47

being like, hey, hey,

33:49

Ron, come on in your for a second sit down. Um, hey,

33:52

I was listening to the show. Did you call the

33:55

commander in chief a total? Like

33:59

like like we're on the eighth grade playground

34:01

right now? Well, yeah, did you did you hear the speech?

34:03

I mean that guy is unbelievable.

34:05

Did you did you listen to the speech? Yeah, I don't

34:08

mind so much. Your your

34:10

problem with the speech, it's the language that

34:12

you used. Greg,

34:15

it seemed I mean, do you see anything wrong with

34:17

with using the phrase at total edited?

34:21

Because this is America

34:23

gone gone for a week for calling Obama

34:25

total and you know it's worth it, you

34:27

know, He's It's like me playing these hip hop songs. I'm gonna get

34:30

in trouble for sure for violating the

34:32

league's mandate, but I don't care because it's

34:34

worth it, you know what I mean, It's worth

34:36

it. It's kind of a boss move, like

34:38

I'll say this and maybe this will get cut out. In England,

34:41

when you get sentenced to prison, what

34:44

you do when that sentencing kind of uh

34:47

like, uh, pave us the way for how you're gonna

34:49

be treated in prison. So if you if you cry

34:51

during sentencing, when you get to jail, they all know

34:53

you cried and they make fun of you for having cried. But

34:57

if you like say something badass, then you're like

34:59

king. So this one guy a couple of years ago, the

35:01

judge sentence him to five years in prison, and he

35:03

goes five years. I can do that spinning

35:05

on my and they gave him

35:07

ten years. But when he got to prison,

35:10

he was like a god like they all loved

35:12

him, they all loved him. I

35:15

doubt so many parts of that story. I don't know if

35:17

we can use it. But we should catch

35:21

me at the Hula hands at the bar with

35:23

my super fans, room for one more. If

35:25

we cut off all our hands, don't

35:27

he fingers when we still have all our glands.

35:30

It's all good, baby baby bear. Wow.

35:36

Yeah, it's almost like the nfl

35:39

UM. I don't know. Maybe we should

35:42

follow their their edicts and only

35:44

play two songs because I don't

35:46

know if America can handle this type of heat.

35:48

I mean, that's one episode this much fire.

35:51

If you want to hear the rest of that song is held. Catch me at the Whuli

35:53

Hands, it's a big hit. I played

35:55

a lot when I'm at the gym um, catch

35:57

me at the Juliands. I forget the artist, but he is

36:00

great. Caitlyn Jenner.

36:02

This week we saw this story.

36:04

Brandon sends us the stories a

36:07

lot of times of some things we should look

36:09

at. This one seemed a little curious as an option,

36:11

but he but we're gonna We're gonna attack

36:14

it. Anyways, Caitlyn Jenner gave

36:17

her daughter Kylie the most

36:20

awkward present you could possibly

36:22

imagine. It was a set

36:24

of underwear, a

36:26

set of underwear with prints of

36:28

Caitlin's face on the

36:31

underwear. I heard about this, I was kind

36:33

of I was upset. Um, I didn't know those

36:35

existed. You could get underwear with Caitlyn Jenner's face

36:37

on them. And I can't believe how much time I've wasted

36:39

in my own life hand drawing Caitlyn

36:41

Jenner on all of my underwear. And

36:44

the worst part, Greg, I mean, it

36:46

takes hours. I don't use a stencil. I hand

36:49

on each every time, so they look a little different. But

36:51

we're a terrible artist, terrible,

36:53

terrible. I don't know why I even thought I could do it. But

36:56

when Bruce Jenner made the announcement that

36:58

he was transgender and was going to have and was going

37:00

to become Caitlin, I stupidly

37:03

gave away all of my underwear with Bruce

37:05

Jenner's face. And I could have just

37:07

changed, you know what I mean, I could have just drawn hair on

37:09

it. And yeah,

37:12

now I look like an idiot. I look like an idiot

37:14

because of that. It reminds me I was I was

37:16

thinking of do

37:18

you do you do you remember in college?

37:21

And I think it was maybe college or a little

37:23

bit after you

37:25

you once got me. Actually we talked about

37:27

this item, uh in another

37:29

podcast. You you bought me

37:32

a bond once for my birthday, I believe,

37:34

and it that kick started a

37:38

series of presents

37:40

that we would get for each other, because

37:43

after you got me one, I think I felt like, well,

37:45

I gotta step it up and get

37:48

something in return. So

37:50

like every birthday, we would get each other a nice president.

37:52

It will lasted for like three or four years, did

37:54

it? And when it finally ended it because it got things got more

37:56

and more extreme, where it was like why

37:59

are we wasting so much time? Like why

38:01

they almost got awkward? Like why there was

38:03

a pressure to it? Why why how am

38:05

I spending money on

38:07

on Anthony when I barely get my mom something.

38:09

It was an arms race. It was an arms race. I

38:11

I kicked it off with the ball. And then do you remember

38:14

I remember two other gifts that I got you, but I can't

38:16

remember more than that. I can't remember anything. I

38:18

remember. I remember I got you a Peter Gammon's

38:20

bobble head doll that I won from ESPN.

38:23

That I actually I didn't pay for what I won because I know you

38:25

loved Peter Gammons. You were getting into sports writing at the

38:27

time. UM, I don't know whatever happened with that? Did

38:29

you ever? Do you ever keep going with that? I

38:32

don't know. I don't know where the Peter Gamons babble head

38:34

ball? No, I mean sports writing. Um, anyway,

38:36

Peter Gamons bubble head which was good. And then I

38:39

got you a first edition of Kurt Vonna Gets

38:41

Breakfast of Champion. Yeah, well that I still have, of course

38:43

that that was a great that was a good one. I checked that out

38:45

on I just you know, google

38:47

that once three or four years ago. That's worth a lot.

38:50

Do you remember any of the gifts you got me? I

38:52

remember one. I remember one

38:55

which I loved. I still have my the Mario lem

38:57

New jersey when Lem came back our senior year

38:59

of college. Lemu decided he was coming back, and as soon as

39:01

he did, you ordered it, and I think

39:03

I got it in time for the playoffs. Remember

39:06

that year we watched the Penguins playoffs. It was like it was amazing.

39:08

Should have worn that to the Christmas

39:10

game behind the bench. That was a that was a good

39:12

but you don't remember anything else you got me, No,

39:15

no, not at all. Okay, it's

39:25

all good, baby baby bath. That

39:29

was the Fat Boys. They

39:31

weren't even rapping. It was like it

39:33

was kind of like a you know, it was like the kind

39:35

of an in between thing, but you could get you got

39:37

that fat boy vibe. Yeah, that was

39:39

It was a different time the eighties, Like you could make

39:41

an entire living like that guy from the

39:44

police at ADAMU movies, just off making funny

39:46

sounds like guy still around um Steve

39:48

Gutenberg. That

39:51

was headlines. It was

39:53

headlines. This is the part of the show where

39:55

in past weeks we often

39:58

give recommendations. Uh we book

40:00

recommendations. We've given music recommendations,

40:03

movies. I heard

40:05

from someone who works at the NFL this week,

40:08

Patrick Crawley. He took our book

40:10

recommendation and he was

40:12

reading now I'm forgetting the

40:14

name of the book, Redeployment, Redeployment,

40:17

and we really liked it, so

40:20

so we took my recommendation and not yours. I like

40:22

that. I like that a lot. Um This week I

40:24

wanted something different. We were recommend a live show,

40:27

something live that we uh that

40:29

we saw. Um I

40:32

when I was in New York for a couple of days, I went and saw

40:34

my friends John Malaney Nick Kroll have been putting

40:36

on a show called Oh Hello. Two of the characters

40:39

that they that they've been doing for a long time and

40:41

kind of perfected on Kroll Show. But

40:43

they're doing a live like hour and a half type of

40:45

like a play, like a very meta play

40:47

at the I believe the cherry House Theater, New

40:49

York. They're doing it this month and then we'll see where it goes from

40:51

there. But if you're in New York in December, try

40:54

to check out um Oh Hello off

40:56

Broadway. It is hilarious. Like I don't

40:58

watch a lot of comedy because that's what I do, but

41:01

I, um, I loved it. I mean I was. I was laughing

41:03

the entire time. Was just kind of blown away at how how

41:05

good it is. And I see, like the fourth time they ever

41:07

did it, I couldn't believe how off book they

41:09

were and how fantastic it was. So if you're in New York, go

41:11

see John Malinney, Na Cruel and Oh hello,

41:14

that's hip praise because you you generally

41:16

you're a tough guy to please. When it comes to the comedy,

41:19

you're kind of nothing else. Yeah, jerk

41:22

um. I was trying to think of something

41:24

I've been too lately. The the

41:26

experience that stands out the most would be a Mountain Goats

41:29

show. If you've never heard of the Mountain Goats.

41:32

Uh, They're great, but they're live shows

41:34

are awesome. Like it was just such an amazing

41:37

feeling leaving that night. I know. He actually just announced

41:39

another tour, so his

41:41

latest album is great. I also

41:45

might be able to recommend soon Frozen

41:48

on Ice. Oh yeah, Frozen

41:50

on Ice, Disney on Ice, Frozen.

41:52

Addition, big Time Christmas present

41:55

uh in the house this week. They're

41:57

in l A this week, so I'm not gonna wait for Christmas.

42:00

Me and Ellis are going

42:02

going to check that out. Getting your four year old daughter

42:04

the major daddy points. I'm very upset

42:07

with you about this. He told me about this last night. We were talking about

42:09

the podcast today, and I was like, why didn't you tell

42:11

me? I would have loved to

42:13

have gone with you and had her sitting in between

42:16

us, and I mean, of course, you you're gonna hate

42:18

this thing on ice. There's actually

42:20

an article in the New York Post that like, you

42:22

know, googled reviews for it, and it was like parents,

42:25

you know, you know, nightmare as kids

42:28

like love their frozen and it was just like an article

42:30

about like dad's being so annoyed

42:32

and like checking their phones for two hours. Why

42:34

had to? When I was a kid, my sisters were all ice skaters

42:37

and all figure skaters, and I would have to go to see

42:39

the Nutcracker on ice at the Civic Arena

42:41

every every single year because they were in it. They'd

42:43

be like mice or something. You'd run around and I

42:45

always I always hated it. Um, but

42:48

but yeah, next time, next time. Let me know. I would

42:50

have loved to have spent some time with my god daughter,

42:53

uh you know, in between us would have been really

42:55

funny. And that was recommendations.

43:00

My name is Amica. I beat everybody's

43:02

into Mecula, kill a man anywhere

43:04

I stand. I don't respect you law. It's

43:07

all good, baby baby. That

43:11

was a shout out for the wife that was a that

43:13

was That's a song called My Name is Emmaca. It's

43:17

great. It's a great song. I think that's gonna be a ring tone.

43:19

I like that you came out with the only you

43:21

found, the only word that ends with emma, and

43:25

don't forget I don't respect to law by the way,

43:27

emmaca. My wife, uh

43:30

not a like she likes the

43:32

podcast a lot. It's the first thing I've ever

43:34

done that she's listened to. And

43:37

this is true of a lot of people

43:39

in terms of like my family, extended

43:42

family friends, like they seem like they've never read

43:44

or listened to anything I've done, but they seem to be enjoying

43:46

this, which is great. But she said the one thing

43:49

that she wanted to get off

43:51

the show was every time that we

43:53

say the Rosenthal and jessely

43:55

Nick Vanity Project,

43:58

that we we yell out the r j VP. And

44:01

she really didn't like that. And I reject that out of

44:03

hand. And you know, I like your wife more than I even

44:05

like you, um, but I rejected it because

44:07

we only do it like three or four times a show,

44:09

you know. So I think it's kind of like bullsh

44:14

that she would say that, and we're just going to We're

44:16

gonna do it anyway. But that's a little shot up for her.

44:18

Maybe now she'll accept it more now that she

44:20

knows how I feel about it, now that she's uh,

44:23

the star of a very popular rap

44:25

song. Let's go to ask Anthony. This is

44:27

the part of the where we take a question from

44:30

Twitter, and this question is

44:32

from at Rob Hiddi Hi

44:34

d d Y, and he asks, how

44:36

do you feel, Anthony about all this

44:39

new anti thoughts

44:41

and prayers sentiment? Are

44:43

you proud of how you started

44:45

it? Or are you annoyed?

44:48

And of course he's referring to some

44:50

of the reactions to the San Bernardino shootings

44:53

h including a New York Daily News

44:55

cover where they

44:57

where they mentioned, you know, thoughts and prayers are

45:00

not enough. That's the name of your Netflix

45:02

special, and you have a long, you know, monologue

45:04

about about how annoying

45:06

you find that. Yeah. I think I maybe

45:09

I was the first person to actually publicly say,

45:11

uh, you know, thoughts and prayers is a dumb thing

45:14

too, as a hollow thing, a hollow sentiment

45:16

to use on social media when something happens, you're not actually

45:18

changing anything. I don't really think that I started

45:20

it. I don't. I wish I had like enough of an ego to

45:22

be like, oh, that's all me. I think I

45:25

do. I do, but not that big like I And I would

45:27

never say, oh, you're stealing my bit, because that's just

45:29

poor taste. I can't use use these

45:31

tragedies to promote myself. Uh And

45:34

and if other people want to pick that up. I see a lot

45:36

of people, even comedians saying, like, you know, kind of parroting

45:39

what I said. But I just like the people are saying

45:41

it, and I'm just very grateful. If my

45:43

special came out next month, it would be

45:45

lame almost. You know. I kind of got it out right

45:47

before they started to happen where the tide turned,

45:49

and it's possible that because it

45:52

was out there that maybe people kind of picked it up,

45:54

but I don't think so. I think it would have happened anyway.

45:56

And then I just kind of I got I got lucky,

45:58

and my art reflected society

46:01

as opposed to society reflecting my art, if

46:03

that If that makes sense. Um, so I'm

46:05

I'm all for people kind of saying the

46:07

same things that I've said because I got paid

46:09

for it and they did not. Yeah, I mean it

46:12

has. I've seen you get mentioned

46:14

a lot because of that, whether obviously it

46:16

wasn't intentional or

46:18

not. Um, but it has

46:20

worked out for old Jesse Nick. But

46:23

it's it's also it's weird anytime it's a

46:25

tragedy that it promotes my special

46:27

in some way. But one of the guy, a guy from the

46:29

New York Times, tweeted that it's very

46:31

it's a very odd day when the entire country

46:33

aligns with Anthony jessel Knik's opinions on tragedy.

46:36

And I love that. And that was

46:38

asked Anthony, I'll

46:42

throw it down like a challenge flag, kick

46:44

it through the uprights. Jessel knicks the man favorite

46:46

sport. You know, it's bump fights. It's

46:49

all good, baby baby Beth fights.

46:54

Listener of the Week UH is something

46:56

we do to highlight our favorite

46:59

listener on iTunes. Everyone's

47:02

been leaving comments, like we have a hundred

47:04

and seventy comments, which is a lot for

47:06

iTunes UH in a short amount of

47:08

time, and that really helps us. Tell your

47:10

friends to subscribe. You know, we're trying to

47:13

build some momentum here within the NFL.

47:15

UH, and you guys are doing a great job supporting

47:19

us. UH. This week, our listener

47:21

of the week is sports this guy

47:23

and uh, he said

47:26

Touchdown air Bud five stars.

47:29

Wow, that's just just hit

47:33

me that we haven't even mentioned the best

47:35

part of our show. Had no idea these these

47:37

two knew each other. The only flaws they aren't doing

47:39

it more. Love it, Please don't

47:41

pull it, NFL. It's hilarious.

47:43

I will buy whatever products

47:46

you want me to in moderation

47:48

of course, that we could be making money for the

47:50

NFL. Kudos to the NFL for this one. Definitely

47:53

liking the NFL media more after

47:55

the start to this show, it'll get canceled,

47:58

which is a shame because people are just

48:00

too soft. That's

48:02

say. It's a pretty good comments, but I disagree

48:04

with all of it. We're gonna be around for a long long

48:06

time. You can't kill me. Touch

48:11

can't stop me. It reminds

48:13

me, um, you know, when we had

48:15

this show last week

48:17

and we had to air the half show, I

48:20

gotta I got. I feel like I got surprising reaction.

48:22

People seem pretty cool with it. And like I

48:24

said, my family is on board. Like my mom just

48:26

sent one with a text

48:28

that just said, you know, yeah,

48:31

the the podcast continues like

48:33

she was just happy that we avoided cancelation

48:35

and put some emojis. I also got one from

48:38

my uncle Dave David Milner,

48:41

which I found interesting,

48:43

and he says, loved

48:45

your quick retort to Anthony about

48:47

feeling bad about the current shows cancelation

48:50

quote. I'm more of a normal person. That's

48:53

an authentic and sincere response that

48:55

fits within a very strong and unique

48:57

male friendship. I love the show reach.

49:00

That is a very psychologically

49:02

apt thing to say. Yes a psychologist, Yes,

49:05

my I liked my dad. I asked my my parents, but listen

49:07

to podcast a lot when I was home, and I said, you know,

49:09

Dad, what do you think about all the hip hop that we play?

49:11

And he just got really quiet, and you said, it's

49:14

great, it's really funny. Like my dad

49:16

hates hip hop. Like my dad hates hip

49:18

hop so much you would think the cool mood killed

49:20

his parents. That's how much he hates,

49:22

like on a on a level that I can't even I

49:24

can't even understand. It's uh, it's

49:26

ridiculous. Never

49:30

never doubt that. Man. Okay, okay,

49:32

I didn't know that, But all right, a

49:36

little less conversation, a little more

49:38

action, please. All this aggravation

49:41

ain't satisfaction in me. It's

49:43

all good. Maybe beggar. That

49:47

was that was a remix that yeah, it

49:50

was Elvis Presley with a hip hop beat. It

49:52

was from an Apple commercial that I that I enjoyed,

49:55

Greg, what's the hot take of the week? Brandon Browner

49:58

has been in the news the Saints cornerback

50:00

for all the penalties that he's had this season. He's gotten

50:02

into different fights with reporters,

50:05

but mostly he's just struggled at playing football.

50:07

He's been one of the worst players in the

50:09

league, and that caused Shannon Sharp to tweet

50:12

out watching Brandon Browner

50:14

of the Saints cover today, I'm

50:16

convinced he couldn't cover a twin

50:18

bid with a King's sheet.

50:21

That's a sizzling hot take there. I

50:23

love it. I love it. Couldn't

50:27

he couldn't hit water if he felt out a boat, you know. I mean, it's

50:29

one of those kind of things that I just I love those. I love

50:31

this kind of comments. Those are the Regret's a

50:33

great it's a great hot take. Brandon

50:35

Browner responded, Uh, it's

50:38

easy to talk with fake teeth. Back

50:41

to Shannon Sharp, which was solid, It's

50:43

not bad, but it's it's actually it's it's it's

50:45

not that easy to talk with fake teeth. If you're putting

50:47

fake teeth, it's tough. You know, you gotta you gotta

50:49

your Your tongue is not used to it, gonna move around

50:51

a little bit. I I cann't disagree, But Shannon came back,

50:54

came back like a man, just said, just play

50:56

better football, basically. I mean, that's true.

50:58

Brandon Browner is the

51:00

least likable, the worst

51:03

free agent signing of this

51:05

NFL season. The Patriots had a had

51:07

a chance to just keep him, he wouldn't have been a

51:09

free agent. He had an option in his contract, and

51:12

they decided not to keep him,

51:14

and everyone you know, obviously, Oh

51:16

what are you guys gonna do without Brandon Browner?

51:18

They're they're gonna be in trouble. And it's another reminder.

51:21

If Bill Belichick doesn't want your players, maybe

51:25

you shouldn't want him either. That's

51:27

a that's a good that's that's a good hot take, Greg,

51:32

I go for two points every time, stop

51:34

on every time, Jessel nixt your uncle. Let's

51:36

do stuff in my sleeping bag. It's

51:39

all good, baby, baby back. It's

51:42

a good one. I like when the name dropped me. I

51:44

love it. I love it. That was that

51:47

was a great that was a great song.

51:49

That. Yeah, that's an air of darkness

51:52

to that one, A little bit like a surprising twist

51:54

at the end. You know, you don't think he's gonna get

51:56

into sleeping bag. I think that's why the name dropped me, because they

51:58

knew, they knew it was kind of uh had

52:01

that twist. We're at America's favorite

52:03

part of the show. Um

52:06

predictions, the predictions. And this is

52:08

this is a new segment. We haven't repeated one yet.

52:10

I like this. It's called friendly wager.

52:13

And I thought, you know, since we're we're friends, we're

52:15

best friends. We're friends,

52:17

best friends, were friends best friends.

52:20

Uh, if I was just your friend and not your best friend, I

52:22

wouldn't put up with the parking situation here

52:24

at the NFL network best friends,

52:26

and I thought, so let's just do a friendly wager. Let's go back

52:28

and forth. Let's pick three or four games and

52:30

just give me your prediction and have like a friendly wager. You

52:32

know, I mean you you go ahead, you can you start Greg? Okay,

52:35

Um. I think the

52:38

Bucks are going to take care of business this week. They're gonna

52:40

beat the Saints. H

52:42

Jameis Winston is playing really well,

52:44

and and I'll make a you know, a friendly wager

52:47

if the Bucks don't do that. Yeah,

52:50

you can come over and Emmica, Well,

52:52

we'll cook your dinner. You know, we'll have we'll have a nice

52:54

little time. Okay. So so if you're

52:56

wrong, then you'll you also have me over for dinner. You and

52:58

your wife cook from me. So that's a nice that's a nice

53:01

friendly wager. I've got one. Steelers

53:04

over Bengals. Steelers over Bengals,

53:06

for sure. This is a must win for us, even though we're in

53:08

Cincinnati. It's gonna be tough game. But I'll tell you what

53:10

friendly wager if I'm wrong, if the Steelers don't

53:12

beat the Bengals in Sinci, I'll

53:15

kill a box of turtles no more than

53:17

twenty, no fewer than a dozen turtles in a

53:19

cardboard box. I will set it on fire and

53:21

kick it around for a while until those little jerks wish they

53:23

were dead, which they will be right after they

53:25

wish it, and then I'll gain their turtle power. That's

53:28

my friendly wish. So that's if

53:30

the Steelers lose. If they lose, okay,

53:33

that seems fair. I think they're gonna win. That seems fair. Uh,

53:36

the Bills going to Philadelphia this

53:38

week. Big Lashawn McCoy

53:40

reunion said he wouldn't wouldn't shake

53:43

Chip Kelly's hand even if Chip

53:45

offered it. But he's not gonna need to because he's

53:47

gonna drop a hundred and seventy five yards and his play

53:50

is going to do the talking. And the

53:52

Bills are going to

53:54

win this game. And if

53:57

they don't, uh, then

53:59

this is a year that I am not gonna

54:01

get you like we used to get these great presents, but your

54:03

birthdays right before Christmas, so it kind of gets

54:06

ignored a lot. I would say, you know, it's

54:08

just a few days before and in this year,

54:10

you know, we'll make sure, you know, we'll get you

54:12

something nothing, nothing big, but we'll get you something

54:14

nice for your birthday so it doesn't just kind

54:17

of like slip through the cracks once again, Thank

54:19

you, Greg. That's that's that's nice. I hope you're

54:21

wrong so that I get a nice birthday

54:23

present from you. Um December twenty twods. If

54:25

you guys are wondering my my

54:27

next pick, I'm going to predict Titans over Jets.

54:30

Okay, a friendly wager, Titans

54:33

will beat the Jets in New York. I'm so confident that

54:35

if they don't, if the Jets somehow

54:37

pull up this gaming, it's a team that is much worse than they

54:39

are in their own building. I will

54:42

eat my grandpa's warmings one

54:44

by one, starting with the most difficult to earn

54:46

and then going all the way to his purple heart. I will eat

54:48

them. I will eat them and then defecate

54:50

on the JFK's eternal flan friendly

54:54

wager.

54:57

Yeah, that's what I do. That's

55:00

it is dramatic. Uh, let's

55:02

talk Broncos Raiders Big Game. It's

55:04

my upset pick of the week. You got the Raiders

55:06

of the Broncos. I think

55:08

I think the Raiders are gonna

55:11

go in there and I think, uh,

55:13

they're gonna take care of business. And

55:16

I just think brock Ey swallers do for

55:18

a bad game. And if he, if

55:21

he, you know, plays well and

55:23

in the Broncos, ah do

55:26

win. I don't. I don't really know what

55:28

to get you at some point, but

55:30

but I think just my friendship

55:33

is something that's important to you, and

55:35

so I'll keep giving you that, Like I'll continue

55:38

to host this show. But if if the Raiders

55:40

do, when, you're gonna take it away? Yeah, okay,

55:42

okay, that's uh. That doesn't seem like a friendly

55:44

wager. That seems almost like a threat um

55:47

to me. But I'm gonna I'm just gonna keep going with

55:49

a bit as if, as if you committed to

55:51

it as much as I did, I'm gonna

55:53

say Carolina over Atlanta, friendly

55:56

wager. The Panthers will continue their undefeated

55:58

one last season at home against the lively

56:00

Falcons. But if they don't, if

56:03

they don't win, friendly wager, I will track down and destroy

56:05

every single copy of The Wizard of Oz

56:08

DVD, VHS, film print. I don't care.

56:10

I'm gonna find them, collect them, and destroy

56:12

them so that no one ever has to watch that hack ass

56:14

creptacular ever again. It's

56:16

a bad movie, full of wildly and

56:18

accurate and science and anti Semitism, and

56:20

I will destroy them faster than you can tap your heels together

56:23

three times and say, oh

56:31

that that's intense.

56:34

That is a friendly wager, all right. Finally, Uh,

56:37

Patriots Texans this week, Patriots

56:39

going to Houston. I think they're going to get back on the winning

56:41

track. Patriots that is they lost

56:43

a couple of games in a row, feel very

56:45

confident that they can figure out a way to stop a Brian

56:47

hoyer lad offense. And

56:50

and we'll make a friendly wager. You

56:52

moved into your apartment recently, so

56:55

you know, I'll get you a nice housewarming

56:57

gift. Okay, like like what? Like? What would you get my?

57:00

Like a book? I guess, could be a house

57:02

for me, maybe us

57:05

some artwork or something like that grandfather's

57:08

like a bath mat? Yeah, I would love it. One of your grandfather's

57:10

paintings. Um would you've never given me? Um,

57:13

even though you've given it to ex girlfriends,

57:15

so you don't even care about anymore? Uh?

57:18

My last one? Uh friendly

57:20

wager here bears over redskins. I

57:22

think I think that's that's a lock for me. Friendly

57:24

wager. Just for fun, I mean,

57:26

I'm sure the bears are gonna win. I can

57:28

smell the w but if they don't, Just

57:31

for fun, I will ghost ride

57:33

my car into a grocery store. I'm not gonna

57:35

say which grocery store, but probably

57:37

a Vans. And I won't say when, but it will be during

57:39

the day when they're busy, but not too busy

57:42

to notice my whip come flying down Aisle

57:44

five with a cinder block on the accelerator. Just

57:46

because I'm not driving doesn't mean I'm not in the

57:48

driver's seat. You dig Compreendi see if

57:50

you play? And that was

57:52

friendly wager. That

58:05

was Dean Rosenthal, Greg's

58:07

older brother, a composer in his own

58:09

right. Um, Greg, before

58:12

we leave, this has been a great episode.

58:14

I think it's been a lot of fun. Hopefully the NFL doesn't

58:16

get too upset about my flaunting of their hip hop

58:18

rules. Um, but before we go, Um, we

58:20

didn't really talk about that much about it. How are my god

58:23

children? How are your son and daughter Walker

58:25

and Ellis Well? One part

58:27

of Thanksgiving that I wanted to tell you about

58:30

was like, at one point, I'm with my mother in law

58:32

and
