Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to another episode of The Rosenthal and jess
Nick Vanity Project. Mar might only have a few episodes left.
Gotta make this one count. Good morning, Tom Brady, enjoy
your run. Nice of you to say hello to uh,

(00:28):
the a f C Championship contender Tom Brady, just to
start the show. It's exciting. That's exactly what I was
talking to. He was a big fan. He's a big fan.
Some got some comments for us sometimes, but I, uh,
you know, I respect what he does. I I'm so
excited for this show. You've got the positive energy after
driving in today. It's been a good week. You know,
we got a lot to talk about Steelers. Of course,

(00:50):
we'll talk about their tough loss. We'll talk about the
a f C Championship. We've got our world famous headlines,
listener of the week. You'll talk about what was edited.
But first, you know, let's let's do some housekeeping, you know,
let's talk a little a little business. You don't seem
totally fired up with the NFL right now. I'm that's
that's fair to say. I think this this is the

(01:12):
final run of podcasts. We were talking about whether or
not we gonna do some of the off season, maybe
come back next season. I would say maybe next season
is still on the table, but but there will be
no off season for our j V p Uh. It's
the I'll say this, the NFL network does not know
how to appreciate talent, and that that has come through

(01:34):
more and more clearly. And there was a I would
say that, like a line was drawn and uh, and
it was not. It was not crossed. You know. I
think if people don't if people aren't as talented design,
they don't know how you're supposed to be treated. But
you need to feel like you're appreciated, and you cannot
be what I'll go ahead and say is being screwed
with and and you've you've kind of you're not. You're

(01:55):
a little bit to blame, but you give you. I
forgive you immediately because you're my best friend for the
rest of the network. Best friend. That's why I'm here.
That's the only reason that I'm here is because we're
best friends. And I wanted to work with you. But
I can only abide so much disrespect from the league,
and it has been coming in waves and droves, and
I I'm out once. Once you flip a switch mentally,

(02:18):
you're you're done, but you're a professional, so you're gonna,
you know, keep chucking. We're going through here. You know
you're still gonna knock it out these last few shows.
But you have put a lot of it on me.
I mean, you're saying that I don't know how to
manage talent, as if I'm somehow responsible for for dealing
with you. What I mean, I mean you because you're
the only one I talked to here. Everyone else at

(02:38):
the NFL network is a coward and won't come anywhere
near me and I and rightly, so I understand I'm
a little intimidating, but I haven't spoken to anyone else.
You're the only one I talked to, and so if you,
if you mess things up, then it becomes a big deal.
But again, I forgive you immediately. You were the father
of my god children, and I love you and that's
the reason that I'm here. But this, this podcast was
over the sect Can. I called my valet this afternoon

(03:01):
and told him to get my car so I could
drive here. Oh, you're gonna put me out a job.
You realize that, right, Yeah, Brandon was We started talking
about this a little before the show. And Brandon, our
producer that too, just stepped in. If you're a new listener, Uh,
he seems crestfallen. This This is really all he's got
going for him. I mean, I've been trying to get
Brandon fired since the day one of the Rosenthal Justin

(03:23):
mcvanity project RHVP. But but yeah, and it's not it's
not a sad story. I mean, everything comes to an end.
As I told Brandon before the podcast, a thing is
not beautiful because it lasts forever. And yes that is
a quote from Avengers Too. I'm gonna be quoting it
a lot in the and then a few remaining podcasts.
And don't be sad, you know, just be happy that

(03:43):
I ever did this, that I ever did any of
you the favor of coming here to this what I'm
gonna go ahead and call in quotes a network that
does not know how to handle talent and and do
this podcast with my best friend Greg. I think we've
handled we've handled that well. If anything, We've put out
the great art, you know, a great product that people

(04:04):
are still going back to and say they're starting at
the very first episode and listening to so you know,
these shows can last. Yeah, we filled avoid you know,
people say the NFL network has never been funny. There's
a reason for that. And once I'm done after we'll
definitely doing next week and then maybe one after the
super Bowl, probably after the super Bowl, and that will
be the great R R J VP wrap up show.

(04:25):
And I think that I think it's a good news
for the fans because now that we don't have to
try to keep this going forever, I can really take
the gloves off, you know what I mean. I can
really it's claws out for the last last three episodes
and uh, and I can do whatever I want. It's
almost like if you see a mini series, if you
watch Fargo, if you watch the ten episodes of Fargo,
anyone can die, anything can happen because it's got an end.

(04:45):
They don't need to resign actors, you know, they don't
need to worry about stretching out the story for another season.
It's just there's a beginning in an end. And now
there's an end to the Rosenthal and Jessely mc vanity project.
Even anywhere Greg's already checked out. It's over. It's tough,
you know, I was, you know, we we talked on
the phone last night we actually was we were going
back and forth. Little Anthony was getting annoyed with you.

(05:07):
I was thinking, save this good heat for the podcast. Uh.
And then you know that I felt a little I
felt a little melancholy, knowing that, knowing that it was
I understand. But I just know that if if you
and I weren't best friends, I would not have been here.
I would not have come in today. Okay today, Yeah,
I am kidding. I am here. I am here for
for you and for the friendship. I wanted to go

(05:28):
out on a good note. Uh. But your bosses and
your boss's bosses need to get it together. And is
there some sort of Hail Mary pass they could do
to keep me here? It would have to be something dramatic.
What I have asked for and was not given is now,
if they got me a golden retriever with that but Jersey,
that might that might that would go a long way.

(05:49):
Maybe a speaking role in the next Airbud movie. I
know that they're there. I could have if I tweeted
I wanted it there a washing money over there after
coming out with Monty the Monkey this month, just blowing
up the sales. If they need a villain for Air,
but for Monty the Monkey too. Then I'm in touch.
But I'll see this. I mean, this is not this

(06:09):
is this is totally within my m O to act
this way and be this way. I don't get bitter, Greg,
I get angry, and then I use that anger to
fuel my comedy. I worked with Comedy Central for seven
or eight years, and I burned that to the ground.
Could they give me something to get me back on
that network? Yes, but it hasn't been invented yet. Do
you understand like when they I remember when you had
your show and you you were telling me stories, how

(06:31):
they would give you notes, you know, and they wanted
you to do certain things, and you would essentially do
an entire segment just as a more or less a
middle finger to them, responding to their notes. And that
really no one outside of you know, Comedy Central or
me who you happen to have told the story too,
would fully understand that was the whole purpose of you

(06:53):
spending three minutes on a national broadcast. That's right there
with to Anthony. No one gets this joke but you us,
and we're upset by and I woulday, yeahay, yeah, uh,
don't give me notes, um, And that's of course not
why I burned things down with Comedy Central. There's more
to it than that. But uh but I uh, I
am right. I'm an artist and I'm a great one
and I'm gonna continue. Well, why do they ask Anthony
questions this week? And we'll we'll get to ask Anthony later.

(07:16):
Was why is Greg so positive? Which you know I
took as a compliment, Um, and I'm so positive that
I I don't even quite believe this whole thing quite yet.
Because you're going to your show last night, you're working
on building up a new set, right, and couple audience
members last night go up to you and they go

(07:36):
our g VP didn't whisper it's catching on, didn't so much.
You know, we have an audience, which is why if
we had no audience, then none of these things would
upset me as much as they do. Does that makes sense?
Like I've got the power, I've got It's growing, sure,
and I mean it can grow, but I think Star
and b podcast around the same time. Yeah, it's got
a fraction of the numbers. Of course they don't have me.

(07:59):
I bet they're treating better than I'm treated over there.
At the Art Podcast. I guarantee it guarantee, but again
I'll say it again. A thing is not beautiful because
it lasts forever. Brandon when movies from Obviously Avengers to
Age of Ultron, this is why we want Sydney back.
All right, let's whoa, let's do what was cut? Me

(08:20):
and my three played the juice. When you think you
could post with a loose in front of the whole
port authority, almost the brush down, okay, authority. That was
your old drug with new fire. Forty deuce. What I
love about forty duce The title of it is it's
the number forty two, like a Jackie Robinson number forty two.
But then in parentheses it says forty deuce for white

(08:42):
boys like me who wouldn't know how to say it otherwise.
He uh, your old drug. My boy dropped some fire
uh Monday night. Sound like when you say fire. I
am a white boy. I mean I I will sound
like a white boy when I say fire, that's for sure,
and I don't like I probably never say again. But
he did drop some fire. Uh drop some fire on

(09:04):
on Shade forty five. That's Eminem station on siries XM
radio and premier a couple of new songs. We're gonna
be playing clips of them. I I emailed your old
Drew and I said, hey, man, love the new stuff.
If you send it to me, I'll played on the podcast.
And he said, thank you very much. So we're gonna
be playing a lot of clips. And forty Due, which
is a great song, and uh a new one called Listen.
He's kind of the unofficial soundtrack, you know. We Roger

(09:25):
Goodell of course has been a big time dj in supporter,
but eurold Drew was there first. He's such a big
fan that he now follows me on Twitter. So that's big.
That is big that he told me he's got he's
got the first episode of a podcast on his web
page right something like that, Yeah, on a sound club page.
I'm I'm a big fan. And we will be working together.
We will be having collaborations. Maybe I'll do a podcast

(09:47):
with your Old Drew on the NBA network. Edited to
keep Greg's job. Let's do what was cut last week.
All of the Chris words from what was cut last
week we're bleeped out, one by one. A lot of
f bombs, just a series of different f bombs. Maybe
maybe A and uh in there, but but those are
all those are all. That's a. That's bleeping one on one.

(10:09):
You guys know what that is. We also had a
bleep of a I'm just gonna go ahead and say
it um, which is a fun word. I don't know
why we were calling it that, and then uh the
F bomb with an I N G at the end
of it, and the R S and I MG. Those
are both leaped out. I made a comment about Roger
Goodell's relationship with John Clayton. I think I'm allowed to

(10:30):
say that edited because John Clayton is the baddest mother
on the planet, which I have to edit that probably
even too probably. John Clayton, by the way, appeared on
Sports Center this week in a sleeveless Slayer shirt. I
don't know if you've seen that. I did not. It
was a Slayer Why I could see motor Head because
he's a upset about Motorhead being gone and Clayton's a headbanger,

(10:52):
gets down. Clayton is my boy. I like all back
to that commercial he did, but he even he appeared
live on TV. It's one of the more horror fine
things that that you'll ever want to see. Yeah, it's uh,
it's not great. Um, but I but I love Clayton.
Clayton can wear whatever he wants. Maybe I'll do a
podcast with Clayton. I bet he knows how to treat
a man. Um what we something else was cut? We

(11:15):
talked about what was the worse ending Cincinnati, the Cincinnati
lost to the Steelers or Minnesota's loss to UH to Seattle.
I don't know why that was cut? What was that cut?
Was it just boring? It may have just been boring.
I may have made a joke that was inappropriate. Who knows?
And then I I I had made a David Bowie
joke during my Carolina prediction that had to be cut

(11:35):
for sheer offensiveness. UM, I thought it was a pretty
good joke. I made several Bowie jokes last week. Um,
they were all good, but one was objectionable, so they
took it out. I don't remember what it was, but
that was what was cut. Let's get the headline, Jake
the Nike, what's the hat? And take the snake? Jo
taking it snake? Look at Jake Jackets? What the stakes? Whens?

(12:00):
That was your old drew a song called Listen John
Wayne remix. Again. You cannot find these your old Drew
tracks in stores or anywhere else. Maybe he's maybe he's
got on a sound clubby you can listen to him.
But I urge everyone to go into iTunes, go to
your local store and look up your old Drew y
ou R O L D d R double O, G
and by by his albums. He puts out a lot

(12:21):
of mix tapes, but he also has stuff for sale,
and I suggest you all support him. Greg, what's the
first headline? It is starting in Denver where the Pittsburgh
Steelers broke our podcast host heart, Mr Anthony jessel Nick.
And now now it's all kind of coming together the
timeline of everything because I saw you Friday night. We

(12:43):
went out with a friend and my wife and you know,
we got some food, good laughs, some shaved ice. Anthony's
in a great mood, he had a great, great week relaxing.
And then the Steelers games happens on Sunday, right, and
then suddenly there's more drama with the NFL. I'm getting
very sternly worded emails from even get into that I

(13:06):
didn't even I didn't even talk about I don't know
if I want to read that out loud. You can't.
You can you can read the one that you that's
not even I've got to say this. I wrote an
email saying, Greg, send this to you, read this to you,
and then send it and then send it into the
higher ups to let them know how serious I am.
And you edited the email send it up the chain
without telling me you're editing it. This is another one

(13:28):
of the things that you have messed up in our
and our ongoing negotiating. Stand by my editor, my editing,
that's my title, That's what I do. Why doesn't think
would happen when you edited something and then told me
after the fact that you edited. You'd be like, hey,
do you mind if I edit this? And I would
have said either no or yes, but you cannot do
something and then asked me about it afterwards. Yes, that's why.

(13:48):
That's why I sent Brandon to go uh to go
teach a teach it a women's missionary school and UH
in Canada. I'm honest, I'm gonna tell you what I did.
I'm not gonna try to that's honest. I'm not gonna
hide it. After the fact. I should have checked it
out anyway. Maybe we'll read this email and on our
last show or something. Pittsburgh lost because it's great and

(14:08):
it did not break my heart. I did not expect.
I did not expect much from that game, Big Ben.
They gotta build a statute of this guy right now.
That was an amazing performance um and and it was.
It was a tough loss. I mean, it's tough to
lose a game like that. With the fumble, I expected
it was gonna go that way. You know that the
momentum was was shifting II the whole time. I assumed
you were gonna lose. We were just too banged up.
If we have Antnio Brown in there, maybe we maybe

(14:30):
we take that game. But it was I was not
as upset as I would have been if we had
lost to Cincinnati. That's fine, but I feel like you're
trying to stop your emotions from coming out here. You
were so afraid of feeling vulnerable watching this game that
you watched it on mute while occasionally looking through a book,
because essentially you didn't. You're so it makes you so

(14:51):
crazy and into the game when you're watching it that
you almost needed to kind of take it down and
notch and put it on mute. No. I think maybe
I have myself and checked, but only because my expectations
were so low that I thought I still want to
watch the game. I support my team. They're gonna do
the best, but I'm not going to get fired up
running around the room like I normally would be, just
because we were so injured. Everyone was so hurt and

(15:12):
the Steelers played their hearts out. The defense was amazing.
I was so proud of the way that we played,
but I was not surprised at all that we that
we lost a game. I was so disappointed. I thought
the Steelers were gonna win that game. And that's the thing.
That's where not to rub it in, they could have
won that game. They had They had a good chance
to win that game. They had the ball, they had
a one point lead. I felt like they could have
even had a bigger lead at that point. I thought

(15:33):
they were the better team for most of the day.
And as as a selfish Patriots fan, I was looking
forward to maybe a home game, and as a selfish
podcast house, I wanted the Rosenthal and Jesselyn Nick Vanity
Project bowl v people. I can't see you can't bowl.
That's not part of it. It's not that I'm I'm

(15:53):
with you, Brandon, I'm upset. Um. Yeah, that would have
been fun. It would have been fun, but it wouldn't
have changed where we are with this part cast had
we been playing. But the big story we're getting into
here after that game is the are the Bengals getting
back into it and trolling the Steelers after the loss
in the NFL? Greg, and you've got something to do
with this too. The NFL endorsed it. NFL the official

(16:15):
NFL Twitter account, which has millions of followers, retweeted Bengals
trolling the Steelers after they lost without comment, just saying like,
look at this. Well, I think is which I think
is unsportsmanlike by the league and by the Bengals for sure.
Well George Aloca, who has had a good season as
a safety for the Bengals. I know he's not a
well known player, but good player for the Bengals this year.

(16:38):
He he really started it and he said and just
like that, all is right with the world again. World emoji,
happy emoji, some sort of other happy emoji. How would
you describe that one, Anthony? I would say, like a
purple devil, Like a devil that's holding his breath. I
have my closure now, Aloca said with with a peace sign. Uh.

(16:59):
And there were there were a lot of Bengals that
really jumped in And so that was what the article
was that you're talking about, that the NFL sent out
that all these Bengals players were really getting excited. Jeremy
Hill sent out one with a frog and a cup
of coffee. I don't even really understand what that could
possibly mean. I don't know. I don't know what any
of these things mean. I mean, the Bengals got their
closure when they threw away the game at home against

(17:20):
the Steelers the week before. It's the lamest thing these
guys could do. If you play for the Bengals and
you've already been knocked out of the playoffs, the only
thing you should be celebrating on Twitter is getting cut
from the Bengals next year. You guys are awful, awful.
It was a tough week in terms of teams basically
being sore losers or sore winners. I agree, this isn't

(17:41):
a good look. Ray mad Luga set one out. I
can finally sleep in peace, you know, another one, Mohammed
Sanus said, mood happy Happy, Happy, listen. I understand that
they are the rivals. They root against each other, but
I think it's good in the playoffs when you get beat,
you root for the team to beat you, to go
all the way and you feel better about it. At
least I got beat by the champs and the Bengals
don't know what that's like. They don't know what it's
like to have class. It's like the Bengals I think,

(18:03):
are like the official team of the NFL network. The
Bengals weren't the only team, uh that didn't handle the
postgame situation. Well. The Broncos after winning the game, alleged
and I'm really talking about cornerback keep to Leave talked,
talked about it. He basically said that Ben was faking
his injury, which I love. Like this made me laugh

(18:24):
so hard. That's insane. You think he took himself out
of the since game, then came back in and refused
to throw for more than ten yards downfield. Then he
set up his favorite receiver for a concussion so they
could put the game on Joey Porter's shoulders for a
chance to kick a last second field goal, just so
they could get into Denver's head. The following week. That's
what you think, then, I think Peyton Manning has been

(18:45):
faking injuries for the past three years so we can
go do more nationwide commercials. That's my theory. That is
so stupid mechanism. Letts on the bass, Hey, your face?
That was your old Drew More more that hot fire.

(19:07):
I think this might be one of my favorite old
drewke songs. Definitely top five, and I love your old Drew,
but forty deuce might end up being my favorite. When
all of a sudden it was convenient for you that
year old Drew stepped up to the plate this week
with some new material. Right when your relationship with our
our usual music consultant, Roger Goodell is starting to fracture. Yeah,
it's coming a part of the seams after everything I've

(19:29):
done for him to Marius Thomas enjoyed the playoff win
over the Steelers this week. Of course, not a huge
game for Damarius Thomas, but it was a special moment
in his life because his mom, Coatina Smith, watched him
play for the first time in person, uh since he
was eleven years old, so of course the first time
since he's been in the NFL. It's a story Coatina

(19:52):
Smith was released from jail this past November. She was
part of the forty five people that were pardoned by
President Barack Obama commuting a drug sentence which she received
many years ago, a nine non violent drug offense. So basically,
anyone in that group of people essentially got to leave

(20:14):
jail early. She would have. She would have gotten out
anyways as part of you know, changing federal law. So
it's a cool story. She finally got to go. I
think now at this point of the season she no
longer had to be on house arrest basically where she
go to a halfway house. Yeah, she could leave the
state and uh, and she watched her son play. Yeah,
it was really nice. And afterwards Peyton Manning gave to

(20:34):
Marus Thomas's mom the game ball, or at least that's
what she says. That's like, uh, you know, I'm like
insinuating that she stole it non violently. Ready to stop

(21:00):
report that was your old Drew. For a second, I
thought you were implying that it was actually Johnny Manzel
who was at the game. Johnny Manzel dressed up like
Damarius thomas mother to go to the game. That would
be a great prank on Da Marius Thomas. So I
guess he's in the stands. Oh, it's my mom for
the first time. No, it's Johnny Football. Another mystery this

(21:27):
week who made the sound effect? And I'll just I'll
just leave it at that. During the Steelers and Broncos game. Uh,
a lot of people believe that Phil Simms, a CBS announcer,
let one go during the game and let's let's just
listen to the clip. Flag dot Com alright accepted that

(22:01):
that's the first time I've heard that. That's what they're saying.
There was like a whole story about this. They were like,
who passed gas in the booth? Let's call it a fart.
Let's call it what it is. It's a it's a fart. Um,
let's hear it again. Let's just let's just just give
me the audio of the of the fart. Nl wagon

(22:23):
dot Com. You've given us way too much to love it.
That's the NFL. I like that they just they just
passed right by it. Um, that's Phil Simms. I love
how you were caught off guard just now the second
time we played it. You lean back. You gave us

(22:45):
because you gave us so much, you gave us so
much time. It was like the leader I've forgotten. I
caught you by surprise. It's like a great A movie
scene where it's just building up the drama. You know
it's coming, and it's coming. You believe it was Phil Simms.
That's Phil Sims. I'd know that fart anywhere, that's Phil Sims.
And if it's not Phil Simms, it's gotta be Chris Sims.
Maybe Matt Sims, depending on what he's eating, but it's

(23:06):
definitely a Sims square. Whatever the holes is that, man,
I have to pay the cats and flicks. That was
real drew a little more forty Douce. I think we'll
under playing the whole all of forty Duce. If you're
not a fan of forty Duce by the end, you're
not a fan of me, and that means you work

(23:26):
for the NFL network. By the way, I want to
say with that last clip, another potential suspect is one
of those little kids from the punt Pass and Kick competition.
They're excited they're on TV, and it reminds me I
didn't even realize that was the part of the game
that is the most annoying moment of the entire NFL season,

(23:46):
and it happens every year. I don't know if you've
noticed this. I have noticed the end of the third
quarter of one of the divisional round games. It always
seems to be on CBS, I think, but but it
might not be. Might just be the last game of
the weekend in the divisional Round. You're all excited, it's
almost always a close game. You get back from break
and suddenly there's a bunch of eleven twelve year olds

(24:08):
when they're punt passing and the game is stopped. At
that point, it is a totally wild time to stop
stop a game at that point. I understand exactly what
you're saying, but I'll tell you why it's great, okay,
because every time they do that, they go back and
they show the old footage of Andy Reid winning as
a twelve year old, and he is a monster. He

(24:28):
is exactly the size and shape he is now, only
he's twelve years old, and it is one of the
funniest things you ever see. He's got the mustache like
it is crazy, and they do it every year. It's
one of the best things ever. And they don't have
a uniform that can possibly fit him, so it doesn't
work at all. It Also, it also seems like a
weird competition at this point that two thirds of the
competition is kicking the ball, Like that's not a very

(24:51):
good reflection of football skills. No, that's why none of
these people ever make it except for Uncle Andy. The
Seahawks this week went down in tough fashion in Carolina
and a lot of people were frustrated Seahawks. They're just
used to making the super Bowl at that point, and
their frustration came out online on Twitter, on Facebook. They

(25:14):
were not happy with Cam Newton. One of the most
famous reasons for it was this Facebook post from a
woman who wrote a letter to Cam Newton's the second
time this year we have a famous letter to Cam Newton. Yeah,
and I love I like that people. And I always say, like,
if you're upset, be upset that you lost the game.
Don't be upset with Cam Newton because he's having too
much fun, I think, And again, I always say it

(25:35):
comes back to racism. Can I get can you get
an echo on my mic? No? No, okay, racism racism.
That's I'm not a I'm not an echo master. I'm
a comedian, um, but I like the people because these
letters that keep coming up, especially about Cam Newton. People

(25:56):
in writing fake letters, which I like, I mean, flood
the system with these fake letters. It's ridiculous that they
would even print these things. But this one from a
fan named Sarah Seahawks fan name Sarah is legit and
I would like to read it to you with the
appropriate music, Brandon, if you please, Dear Mr Newton, I'm
a Seahawks fan. I bleed blue and green. Shut up.

(26:16):
Although I will be the first to tell you that
today we did not bring our a game and we
were beat fair and square. There's one thing, though, one
thing that needs to be said. This does not need
to be said. My news feed is filled with you,
Mr Newton, and not in a good way. A video
of you pulling a twelfth a twelfth flag down and
throwing it to the ground like garbage, which is what
it is you see that, you see, the one that

(26:39):
people don't. You see the thing that people don't realize.
Seahawks fans aren't just fans. This is not true. That
is exactly what you are, Saks fans. The twelfth Man
is a community, a family, that, regardless of winnings, stand
behind our team and our community. So you see, Cam,
disrespecting the twelfth Man flag isn't just disrespecting our team.
It's disrespecting the fans that back our team. A community
that feeds in cloth is the homeless, a community that

(27:01):
raises funds for families and hard times. A community that
helps the three year old girl battle cancer. A community
that has more grace and respect than you could imagine.
Let me stop, what does that mean? You brought up
a three year old girl with cancer to say that
you shouldn't you shouldn't be upset at someone having a
twelfth Man flag in the stadium. That is completely ridiculous
and disrespectful. You see, Cam, Well, you're practicing for your

(27:24):
next game. R QB will be at Seattle Children's Hospital
raising the flag stamlessly through to the ground and he
will be placing them on the hospital walls of little
of the little twelves. I'm I'm gonna puke. So Cam,
the next time you think of disrespecting our flag, I
hope you remember that even though we may not have
won the game, and it's the Seahawks and the twelfth
Man who are the real winners, that is that is

(27:45):
patently false, as the opposite win or lose, become with class, respect,
a love for the game, willingness to help others, love
for God, and a love for those surrounding us. So
Mr class Les Cam Newton, good luck and may God
teach you what real winning looks like. Signed Sarah. That
is revolting. Revolting that you feel like you should have

(28:06):
won the game because your quarterback who wasn't good enough
to beat Cam Newton? Is it children's hospital during the
during the other game. I don't believe that you think
Cam knew, you think that you think that Russell Wilson
is gonna miss the NFC Championship game to go to
children's hospital and talk to kids with cancer. I don't that.
Or he's chilling by the pool with mack Lamore just

(28:27):
singing to him maham like cancer. Malcolmore doesn't have cancer
yet Malholm who was the child and side all of
us with cancer. By the way, the the whole, the whole.
Our team has more class thing. It's so stupid because
every team has their ship. Then then you have to
be a perfect team. Their first round pick this year
or the first pick they took they didn't have a

(28:49):
first round pick was Frank Clark, who was kicked off
his team at Michigan for a domestic violence incident against
his girlfriend. So you're you're basically you know you can.
It's and it's not even fair to point that out
because every team is gonna have some something like that on.
It's by acting like the twelve, like that guy's representing
the twelves. Yeah, you don't bring that you you keep

(29:09):
that flag in your own stadium. You don't take it
to someone else's. That's not where it belongs. And then
if you threw it in the ground, he can't be like, oh,
our community raises money for the homeless. You're a city.
Every city does that. God, I like Seattle so much,
but this sucks. They sucks. And you're from the top
of the cell like Big boss Man. That's what happened

(29:31):
when youss my hands You're all Drew. I was listening
to John Wayne Remix. I love the Big boss Man
shout out You're all Drew, likes thet likes the name
check wrestlers a lot of wrestlers, which I which I enjoy.
I was a big fan back in the day, and
Big boss Man was certainly legit. Greg What's next? And
A Lacy is in the news this week? Of course,

(29:52):
he was part of the classic game on Saturday night,
I would say the game of the year in the
NFL Packers Cardinals. I don't know you got a chance
to watch that when it was happening, Anthony, we'll talk
about Uh. He was part of the slowest sixty plus
yard run in in NFL history, So it took him
a long time to get down the field and that

(30:13):
really made his condition and conditioning a bigger topic going
into the off season. And Mike McCarthy, the Packer's head coach,
you know, for the first time, he really called Eddie
Lacey out for being out of shape throughout the season.
It was a lingering issue. You could basically see it
with Eddie Lazy. He was not in particularly good shape
and he was saying, look, Lacey has to he has

(30:35):
to be at a lower weight in two thousand sixteen
if he wants to keep playing. Yeah, I mean he
they said, he showed up in the office in a
bad off season, showed up way out of shape, and
he got better in better shape as the season one on,
but you gotta show up ready to go day one.
And what I love about the story is I was
reading about it. They have a lot of his tweets.
They went into his Twitter, and it's amazing how many
of his tweets are about food. And you had told

(30:56):
me about you like, brought up the story to me.
I thought, that's funny. He's talking about food. But it's
not just that he's talking about food, it's what food
he's talking about that is absolutely disgusting. I don't know
if Eddie Lacey bleeds marijuana, but that's what it sounds
like from these tweets. Let me let me just read.
I'm gonna read as money as I can. Greg, you
stop me if you're gonna throw get to the end. Uh,

(31:16):
let's go. Uh. October October eleven. I want a sausage,
egg and cheese mcgriddle. Okay, I'm not saying that it's
funny that he wanted that. I'm saying that it's funny
that he had to tell everybody this got three thirty
six retweets that he wanted that he had to say it,
So he's not just thinking it. He's like his whole
body is like his thumbs had to tell you. That's
how much he wanted it all. I keep thinking about

(31:38):
his food hashtag Sonic. Here I come, Sonic skid Sonics
in New Orleans. I've never eaten a Sonic either. Actually
I've only had it like once, but it was in
New Orleans. But I know, I know, you can just
show up at Sonic. I don't even have to tell him.
You don't have to be like, hey, here I come.
Son It was right down the street from your old
job at Rick's Cabaret in New Orleans Bourbon Street. That

(31:59):
was a Sonic. It was It was a Crystal Burger.
There wasn't a Sonic in New Orleans. You there was
a Rally Burger, and there was a Crystal Burger. And
rally Burger was good. Crystal Burger was gross. Okay, now
I understand why you're trying to leave the I'm not
trying to do what I am doing it. Uh, Next
tweet that food though, hashtag yes lord, okay, this is
He's not just praying. He's publicly praying on Twitter about

(32:21):
that food, though, which is amazing. Next week, this food
got me sleepy. So he's already eaten. He's already eaten.
But he still can't stop talking about it's making him tired.
And this is not Thanksgiving, that's what you're thinking. It's
not that was in July. Uh. Next tweet, I guess
I'll start my day off with some fast food. Gross, Eddie,
you're not you should be bragging about that. It's a

(32:43):
bad way to start your day. Uh. Next tweet made
it to the crib about to get on this food
and watch Unknown. I assume he's gonna watch a TV
show called Unknown where he just doesn't care about what
he's gonna watch. He's gonna watch himself eating a mirror
in my apartment packing my things. Who would be so
nice and offered to bring me some food? He's publicly

(33:03):
begging for food while he's getting ready for a trip.
That is uh, that is shameless. We'll do mouse stuff
for food hashtag family guy. Uh he'll do moose stuff.
Does that mean he'll do like an Uncle Joey Antler's
sort of bowlwinkle thing if someone brings some food. I
think it's some sort of family guy reference we don't
even understand. And thankfully so eating my ass off in here,

(33:25):
knowing I'm possessed to be losing knowing I'm supposed to
be losing weight hashtag s M d H, which I
believe me in shaking my damn head. So's he's supposed
to be losing weight, but he he has to eat,
and then he has to tweet that he's eating his
ass off in here. I assume he's hiding in a
closet with a bunch of big max Uh. Next one,
been eating gummy bears for the past thirty minutes. He's

(33:51):
been eating gummy bears for a half hour straight, and
he had to tell somebody, Right, It's really not the
fact that it happened, the fact that he tweeted it. Yeah,
if someone followed him around and wrote these things, he'd like, Okay,
it's weird you're following. But the fact that he's got
to tell people. And then the last one, I'm about
to go get some China food smiley face. Not Chinese food,
but China food. I assume that because he's eating for

(34:13):
a billion people. Um, And that was that was Eddie Lacey,
horrible dietitian. Now we make hits. Tom, I'm uh, you're
old druke more forty deuice go copaedle your old Druke,

(34:33):
He's the best, A rare fran Lebo had shout out
during a rap song. She deserves it, She's earned it.
It's a big time. Julian Edelman and Tom Brady were
in the news this week, you know, having a little
fun with each other on Facebook. Of course, they are
going to their fifth straight a FC championship game. That's

(34:54):
a record. Did you do that not? I did not, Hopefully.
Who are you gonna root for in that game? By
the way, Oh Denver? I'm I'm I'm rooting for Denver
all the way. Not only because I hate the Patriots,
uh it's in my bones, but that I root for
the team that knocks me out. You know, I would
like to see I would like to see them go
all the way. I but I honestly, I'll believe right
now that whoever wins that game is going to lose.
Whoever wins the NFC Championship. I sort I believe that too.

(35:17):
I hope, I hope you're wrong. I hope we're both wrong,
But I do believe that I think the Patriots will
get there. They're great. I mean, they're a great team.
They're coached, they're coached by a Master, but they're banged up.
Everyone's banged up right now, and a lot of its
luck of the draw. Okay, now that I've wasted time
so I could find this thing. Hey, this was the
Facebook post that Tom Brady posted, uh this week. I

(35:38):
don't know. Do you follow him on Facebook? You're not
even on Facebook. Anthony went went rogue and went went
dark off social media other than Twitter. Well, Tom Brady
has got a very active account. He likes to have
he likes to have fun. And he had a He
had the picture of Brady trying to score a touchdown
last week, right when he was at the goal line
getting tackled, and in the background Edelman, Julie and Edelman

(36:00):
is kind of, you know, doing the touchdown seminal kind
of flexing, and he said, hey, Julian, how about a
little less flexing and a little more blocking next time? Okay,
this is that's a terrible joke. It's one of the
Lamb's jokes. Ever, Brady has no sense of humor whatsoever.
Don't tell me that someone who eats avocado ice cream
enjoys life in any way. The only funny thing Tom
Brady has ever done is leave a pregnant Bridget moynihand,

(36:23):
I went there, I did it. I do not like this.
It's clearly he's got a team that puts these together.
Whenever you see like Tom Brady photoshopped and something, it's
it's clear that his team is doing hate Tom. Like
you likable. Maybe this will make people like you instead
of hating you the way Bridget moynahand does Julian Edelman, Yeah,

(36:43):
he got his crack team of social media people together.
Or maybe it's actually Julian Edelman. I don't know if
he could afford He probably could his own team. Uh
and he responded quickly, he said, my bad, Tom Brady.
It's usually when I died for the pilotline pylon, it
counts for a touchdown. What do you think? What do
you cost? Wink wink face by the way, right after that,
like that really diminishes it. The wink love you bud God,

(37:06):
you are obsessed with describing emojis. It's like your favorite
it's like your favorite thing to do. Uh No, what
do you what do you think? What do you guys
think a team? A social media team costs? So do
you think Adelman could Anelman could afford it? What do
you think it costs? I have no idea seven million
dollars Brady's Uh, Brady's team's gotta cost a lot more.
This whole thing. Does this trend annoy you? In general?

(37:29):
The whole like, Hey, we're gonna be fun and have
someone else represent our brand on social media and go
back and forth with each other. It's an annoying trend
in general because it's so popular and it's lapped up
and and occasionally like this, this sort of thing will
happen in our newsroom and people are like, well, it's

(37:49):
probably it's probably not Tom Brady. Well you think it's
probably not Tom Brady. Of course it's not. There's no chance.
I would guess he's not even aware of it. There's
a chance they run it by him. It's probably his brother, whoever,
his manager, who who's doing it? You know there's someone
in charge of that account. All he thinks about his football,
that's all he thinks about. And rightly so, he's got
his kids, his wife and football. That's all he thinks about.

(38:12):
And I understand that. So these things are so cheesy,
but I think I don't hate them because I recognized them.
So when someone's actually doing something for really being funny,
and you can tell that it's like a team thing
and they're all doing it together, which we'll get to
in a second. Then I love it. Um, let's go
to the next one. Are we doing this together? I
thought we're gonna do a song and then play it. See,

(38:33):
you're You're a big part of my problem, Brandon. This
is why I'm leaving. Even if even if Roddell walked
in here right now, gotten his knees and said, Anthony,
please please please stay and do this podcast, I would say,
what about Brandon? What is he gonna do? And there's
nothing you can do. I'm gonna go on without the song.
Let's talk about Gronks jokes. Let's talk about Gronk doing

(38:54):
a tweet Greg read it Rob Gunkowski this week. And
this had nothing to do with the Edelman Brady back
and forth. Um. Someone tweeted at him that they heard
heard the Broncos are gonna hit Gronkowski in the news
in the knees to try to take him down, to
be be careful Gronk, and he decided to retweet that

(39:15):
with a with a common on top of it, Jescen style.
That's how you like to do it? Uh, this response
was heard. Their whole team is good at giving low blows. Wait,
you know you just made a face that no one
can see it because it's a podcast. Well you just
made you made a criticism that you didn't want me
to describe it, and so I did it for no
I like that you describe it. I just like to
make fun. It was. It was a wink, but with

(39:36):
with the tongue out that's like, hey, I'm making a joke,
but I'm a little crazy. Also, he put a football
because he's Gronk. Uh, this is he. This is the
opposite of a britty because it's clear that Gronk did
this himself, and that's a high bar for Gronk. That's
Gronk doing his best impression of Mark Twin. He's still look,
he's still high fiving himself for that one. He's that
Rob Gunkrowski's Twitter account or did Oscar Wild come back

(39:58):
to life and fall in love with Emoji's only Roger
Goodelle knows for sure, and he ain't talking brother Prenzie.
Let's give him my black man. That was your old Drew.
That was another part of listen John Wayne remix love Gronk.

(40:19):
Gronkowski so he's so authentic, whereas Brady is not at all.
He is the only Patriot I can think of in
team history that could get away with that. You know,
they keep up, They run a pretty tight ship. If
someone else did that on the it would definitely be
taken down. It's got fifty six thousand retweets right now,

(40:40):
it would definitely be taken down if it was a
lower level player on the team. I believe Bill Belichick
would cut the guy for that based on this history.
Like I've I've read books where there was this guy
on the team. His name was Steve Martin. He was
a defensive lineman. You know, he made some trash talk
before some big you know, some game in two thousand
and Belichick was livided just you know, he just decided
to cut him. But that's why I like Belichick. It's

(41:02):
not about treating everyone the same. Maybe this is what
you're talking about with talent. He knows Rob Gronkowski is
the best damn tight end of all time. He could
do whatever he wants. Everyone loves him. Like I I
hate the Patriots, but I love Gronkowski. Who was the
guy who made all the jokes about Rex Ryan and
the feat West Welker, and he benched him for the
first quarter. And then one was the best playoff or
was it a playoff? Believe it was? I think it was,

(41:23):
which was crazy to do. So even if it's like
your best player, he'll still do it. Um, I think it's.
Remember one Gronkowski shot a video after the flate gate
and the only thing that you can like deflate is
these nuts. And everyone not only did everyone show the video,
but everyone laughed at it like they love Gronkowski. He
can do no wrong. He's like the me of the NFL.

(41:44):
Uh Gronkowski, big tough guy. You know, he used to
be a big tough player. People don't remember ron Rivera.
He's got to be coach of the Year this year.
But he used to be on that Bears defense. So
that's why he gets a lot of respect from his
defensive players. And when he lays down the law in
care at Lina, people listen in this week when he
laid down the law, it was it was a weird

(42:04):
sort of rule. He has banned hoverboards from the Panthers facility.
He says he's caught a couple of players drag racing
in the hallway one time. I didn't think it was safe.
Hoverboards are out. It's not safe at all. I mean,
I think every NFL team should ban all if if
you're a player and you get hurt in the hoverboard,
you should your contracts shouldn't be void. Uh. And you

(42:27):
don't want them getting hurt on hoverboard. You want them
getting hurt on the field. If Rivera was a real coach, though,
he'd incorporate the hoverboard into the offense. Can you imagine
the hot takes if Cam took it into the end
zone on a hoverboard. There's nothing in the NFL rule
book says you can't use hoverbooks. You might think there
is a rule against using hoverboards. That's college football. In
the NFL, anything goes, Anything goes. That was forty deuce.

(43:00):
That was your old Drew. I think we're playing that.
I mean, that is just a great, great song. Everyone's
a fan now, but you know what everyone's a fan of. Also,
it's time for everyone's favorite weekly segment. You guessed it.
It's who felt like He's had sex? Oh yeah, last Tuesday.

(43:23):
Heisman Trophy winner and former NFL running back Eddie George
made his Broadway debut in the role of Billy Flynn
in a new production of Chicago. George made his entrance
through a fluttering circle of pink Ostrich feathers, wearing a
tuxedo and white carnation, sending I don't care about expensive things,
cashmere coats, diamond rings don't mean a thing. All I

(43:44):
care about his love. And at the end of the musical,
audience members chanted Eddie Eddie, and Mr George, feeling slightly overwhelmed,
took a final bow and thank the audience, yelling from
the stage, I feel like I had sex. I'm tired.
You know what that means. He felt like he's had sex.

(44:06):
H's sit back ruck, sit back, sit back to rock,
sit back ruck. You know I changed my mind. I'll
be back in so I brought it all back around.
The ed C seventeen portion of the program now over basically,

(44:29):
but we are back and it's my favorite part of
the week. Recommendation Stage, recommendation station. Let's take it down, Greg,
what you got this week? I canna recommend book and
a movie. One of the best movies I saw this here, Amy,
the documentary about Amy Winehouse. I wasn't a huge Amy
Winehouse fan going into it left a big fan and
just nothing better than a good doc. This is when

(44:49):
you should see. Yeah, I'll yet, I was. I was
a fan of hers. Got to see you live a
couple of times. It's incredible. It's a it's a It's like,
I think documentaries are going to change now because there's
so much found footage from cell phones and everything. That's
what the whole movie is based on. It's almost it's
like a little like montage of heck, the Nirvana one,
where it's almost uncomfortable how much access you have. But

(45:11):
it's much better. It's a much better movie to see.
I have nothing but good things. But you're you recommending it?
I will definitely check it out. What's your book? The book? Yeah?
If we only have a few weeks left, I gotta
get out some classics. Confederacy A Dunces one of the
all time funniest movie. It is so I mean funniest books,
so hard for a novel to be funny. Confederacy A
Dunces is funny. It captures New Orleans just about better

(45:33):
than any book ever. I love the back story too,
I love it all. When did you read it? I
read it for the first time in college and I
didn't I didn't totally love it. And then I reread
it about five years ago and it blew me away. Yeah,
Greg and I of course went to Two Lane together.
It's where we met, which is in New Orleans. And
I feel like everyone had to copy that book, like
you almost like got it when you showed up on

(45:53):
this freshman year that I kind of stayed away from it.
Read it after college, like right afterwards, and it made
me just fall in love with the city. And again
the story behind it, how it was published posthumously, posthumous posthumously,
but his mother insisted that that people read it, and
uh and and as is a classic. Is is unbelievable.
You know who helped to get it published, Walker Percy.
That's right, Walker Percy. Um. There's are great recommendations. Greg,

(46:17):
You've kind of made up for what you did two
weeks ago when you completely to bed. Uh. This week,
I'll recommend my book first, my favorite book, one of
my favorite books of all time, made my favorite book
of the past twenty years. Brett Easton Ellis is glamor Rama.
One of moost embarrassing moments of my life. Was meeting
Brett east Sannellis telling him my favorite book was glamor
Rama and he said, oh yeah, I glamor Rama is

(46:39):
my favorite book. And I realized that be mispronouncing it
my entire life. A great book again, a very funny book. Uh.
One of the first books to actually take the character
kind of uh interacts with modern day celebrities who you
know they like the character main character be having a
conversation with Skeet Alrich. You know. It's a very It's
a great take on celebrity and how how holl and

(47:00):
awful it is. Uh, one of my favorite books. I
recommend everyone check it out. You'll love it. And the movie.
The movie I saw this week unbelieved. I can't believe
I slept on it so long. Here's how good this
movie is. I watched it during during the second half
of the Cardinals Packers game. When I got out of
the theater, I got all these texts like do you
see the end of that game? Nholm watched the end

(47:20):
and I did not regret missing the game because the
movie was so good. I went and saw Brandon, what
did I say? And I saw Creed Brandon saw it
to this week. That's why I made him jump in
there finish my sentence. Creed is amazing, Creed. I was
so hyped afterwards. I went home when just did one
armed push ups and shadow box until I fell asleep.

(47:40):
It's amazing. It's such a great It's the best Rocky
movie I think of all of them. I mean, Rocky
one is incredible to classic, but this one everything is
done perfectly. Still Loone is the best he's ever been
in anything. I think he deserves all the love for
Best Supporting Actor. Um, I can't believe the director didn't
get nominated. I can't believe it can't get Best Picture nominated.
I think will be Jordan be Jordan not getting nominated.

(48:01):
It totally could have. He's got a great future. Staaloon
is amazing. It kind of bums me out that he's
probably gonna win over Tom Hardy for The Revenant, which
is the best performance of the year, I think. But
everyone goes see Creed. It is awesome and just I mean,
when I'm going through all this adversity with the NFL network,
seeing a movie like that just made me know that
I'm doing the right thing, and I'm fighting the good
fight and that was recommendation stations robbed like that, don't

(48:28):
matter what they might rock. That was your old drew
a little more of Listen to John Wayne Remix, who's
got a higher batting average right now than Michael B. Jordan's.
I mean the wied Friday Night Lights l station. I
know he's Fantastic four, but for the most part, that's

(48:50):
pretty big. He's the best part of Fantastic four. He
he can do no wrong, he's he's great, and he's
jacked and creed jacked no way that's legal. How long
do you think it took him to get ready for that? Oh?
My a year. It's it's he he's awesome in that movie.
Dude his back when they show the back of him,
it's got every muscle pop. A's ridiculous. Yeah, it's crazy.
Ask Anthony this week is from ken Walkenburg. He asks Anthony,

(49:14):
did Anthony have a Pittsburgh accent and did he have
to work hard to get rid of it? A great question.
I feel like this is one of the reasons I've
never been embraced by my home city of Pittsburgh. They
don't know that I'm from there. Like I go home
and to play shows, in Pittsburgh. Like once a year
when I walk out in stage and say Pittsburgh, I'm home,
and the credits nody what I'm talking about. I don't
sound like I'm from Pittsburgh, don't look like I'm from Pittsburgh.

(49:35):
I was kind of raised just outside of the city,
you know. I mean, like I really I mean in
the suburbs. I guess the suburbs, yeah, but like but
very close to this. I'm the last trolley stop. That's
what I'm saying. It's it's right there. No one, no
one I grew up with really had the accent. And
my whole family kind of talks the same. People say
I suddenly Christopher walking. My dad gets that. So I
don't know if I and if I, if I ever

(49:55):
said Yen's if I'm like, hey, Yen's going to my
parents like, don't say that, Like, don't talk that way.
So you were ashamed of where you were from? Not
at all. I was. I was very proud, but I was.
I I learned to speak uh in in the most
corrupt way, I guess. But I don't think I ever
really had an accent. People ask me where I'm from,
like it's a muddled thing from Pittsburgh and New Orleans.
But I think my family just talks this way. I

(50:15):
get a jessel Nick accent, and I'm proud of that.
I bleed black and gold YenS. Edited for jessely Nick
related Shenanigans. The listeners, though I've I've always been I've
been surprised how people have enjoyed this show. It almost
seems ridiculous that anyone would listen to it, but the
response has been great. I love getting all your tweets

(50:35):
and your comments on iTunes. That helps us out. You've
been given us lots of five stars. It's been doing
really well. I love the people that send me tweets
that they're actually reading the books we recommend, which sort
of blows my mind. Uh. And every week we're doing
listener of the Week from iTunes, and let's pick a
short one because this show is getting long. Harry Seward crikey.

(50:56):
I discovered this podcast on Friday. I listened to all
eleven episodes over the weekend. I recommend this pro approach.
I didn't watch any of the regular season, and now
I'm totally caught up. That's the way to do it.
People are binge listening to this show. Yeah, and I'm
just gonna make it easier for them to get caught up. Hey,
don't we smelling like Reaganomics? Climate? Almost to see comics.

(51:19):
I'm good the Bad Game. It's a comedy show. If
I need to laugh, I'll just watch the video that
was Joe Drew. That was more of forty. You know what,
let's go straight into predictions. You want to do that, well,
you don't want to do the hot take of the week.
It's not that long of the show. How long is
it I'm pulling back the curtains. Not that long. We're
a fifty one minutes right now. Okay, okay, I'll do it.

(51:40):
We'll do the We'll do the house hot take of
the week. It will be quick. What does you see?
Let me lose Susice behind this. Let's pull the curtain
back now, let's we have so much time? I wrote, well,
Gregg was reading that. I wrote skip hot take with
a question marking circle so you can look at it
be like, yeah, we we're running. We're running short on time.
And then Gregg wrote, s let's drip, let's let's do it.

(52:02):
Let's just do it. I don't know, I think I
changed my mind. In mid I was gonna say sure,
but I changed my mind. I mean decide that we
now wasted more time even talking about this than the
hot take would have been. Philadelphia Radio this week suspended
a radio personality. Didn't fire him, they suspended him for

(52:23):
how long? They suspended him for three days for using
a racial slur. His name is Josh Innis and it
was on point one w i P, which, if you
know Philadelphia is the big sports station there, for calling
Jason Kelsey, a center on the philadi Philadelphia Eagles a
house negro, and the radio host explained it in a

(52:47):
very meandering, difficult way by saying he had watched Malcolm
X recently at the airport and there was a concept
called the house negro in this movie, and he tried
to explain it in Jason Kelsey is that guy on
the philadel makes me furious. I hate when people are
racist they try to explain their racism, like I don't

(53:07):
mean to sound racist, but that's ridiculous, And I hate
that you try to make it okay before you say something,
especially a guy who has that kind of power on
the radio to be like, oh, I was watching Malcolm X,
So I thought of this. I'm not racist at all,
but Malcolm X was saying it. So I'm just gonna
repeat that. It's insane. He should be fired. He should
be fired for what he said. What's even worse is

(53:27):
I think is not not worse, It's just as bad
is Jason Kelsey's response, I think is, uh, what's wrong?
I want to read that? Um, do you have do
you have that for me? Okay, Jason Kelsey responds, And
you would think he could say this guy should be fired.
Never called me that. That's an insult to my entire
race and and everyone. I'm insulted that he would call

(53:48):
someone a house negro on his own team, on his
on his own It's a white guy too, which makes
it even more confusing. Jason Kelsey is a white guy.
You didn't even realize this? Yes, this is this is
even worse. So, Jason Kelsey responds online in the media,
I just tried to be devoted and respectful to my
teammates and coaches, as I believe negative comments only lead
to the dissension and possible destruction of a team. It's

(54:09):
my job to ensure that I have my teammates and
coaches back no matter what, so they can trust me
in return. I believe this is a basic principle of
team camaraderie and loyalty. And if that makes me a
house negro, as josh Enis put it, I'll take it.
You'll take it. You do not have to take it
to be a good teammate. And secondly, your season is over,
it's done. You should go kill this guy. You should

(54:31):
get your whole your whole team on a bus and
go over there and beat beat this guy. Go get
your brother and Travis Kelsey, baby Gronk, go after him.
I don't I don't like anyone in the story that
the suspension thing is what gets me. Whenever these radio
shock jocks say something racist or sexist or wildly stupid

(54:52):
and then they apologize for it, it's always like, we're
taking this very seriously. He's off the air for three days,
like what like Skuy who's probably always and there's always
that segment it's like, hey, he's just doing his thing.
He's just well, he's exposed himself as a total moron,
and he has he has a broadcast position for three

(55:13):
hours a day. Why do you need to keep that guy?
On at all for no reason at all. They just
want to see if people are gonna keep getting mad.
Maybe it goes away in a couple of days. I
hope it does not, and I hope they have to
fire him because he wasn't joking. I understand what jokes are.
That was not a joke. He was making a point,
and he should. He should lose his job and his
children should have the food they ate for breakfast taken

(55:33):
from their mouths, taken from their mouths this morning for
what he said. Let's do some predictions and Dallas the
body so bruss mussels your Drew. That was a little
more of listen, John Wayne remix. Uh. Shout out to

(55:56):
my dad, who I know he's been enjoying a hip
hop today and should out to all the Twitter followers
who have asked us to have Anthony tell a story
about one of his emails that he talked about way
back in episode one, and this this gets I love
it that people are really listening to the show from

(56:16):
the beginning and remembered they said, way back in West
episode one, you said you were gonna tell a great
story about an email you got sometime in the playoffs.
This show is going long, So why don't we do
it next week or a future show before we're off
the air, Anthony and let's get I'll do it next
week just so that we can definitely do it because
next week might not might begin and again after maybe
the end of it listened to this one and says

(56:36):
we're not putting this guy back on the air. That's
a possibility that I am prepared for. It's time for predictions.
Uh this week not repeated a bit. This week, I'm
gonna do a segment called barn Burners. It's time for
my barn Burners of the week. I've got two of them. Greg,
you go first. What a barn burner? Uh, it's going
to be in the NFC, this is one of the
best conference championship matchups. I really mean it, I can

(56:56):
remember in a long time. I think there's a the
two best teams in the league, the Panthers and the Cardinals,
two best offenses in the league. They're fun to watch
their new Neither team has ever won a Super Bowl,
so that's gonna be a big angle when they get
to uh. San Francisco and Santa Clara in a couple
of weeks. I am taking the Arizona Cardinals. If you've
been listening to this show, you know I've I've picked
them to win the Super Bowl all season long. No

(57:19):
reason to change that now. They got rid of a
stinker performance from Carson Palmer last week. I think he'll
play much better. A lot of deep shots, high scoring game.
Panthers win. When it comes to the NFC Championship game,
this sign no Antoine Randall l regrets choosing to play
football over baseball. He has trouble walking downstairs and can't
remember conversations you just have with his wife. Plus, Panthers

(57:42):
beat the Cardinals at home. I hope you have barn
insurance because it's gonna be a barn burner. The a
f C matchup, of course, this week, features Tom Brady
Peyton Manning seventeenth time they're gonna play together. More importantly,
the number one defense in the league, the Denver Bronco
needs to play their best game. I think they're gonna

(58:04):
play well. I don't like this matchup. I don't think
the Patriots are some heavy favorites like everyone's making it
out to be. Freaks me out a little bit. I
kind of can see this story of Peyton Manning getting
dragged along in his final season to the Super Bowl,
and it makes me sick. There's no team I would
rather lose two less than the Denver Broncos and the
in Payton May And I could totally see it happening.
But you know, I'm a Patriots fan. Of course I'm

(58:25):
gonna pick them in a close one seventeen and sixteen
low scoring game. Wow Ho ho ho. Christmas is coming
late for Denver fans, as this week would have been
Junior say House seven birthday, but nobody is celebrating because
that's not how birthdays work in Goodell's America. Broncos over
Pats at home. I hope your cows and chickens are

(58:46):
ready to die. It's gonna be a barn burner. That
was predictions. God song. It makes me weeping now. That's

(59:08):
whenever I hear that song, I'm gonna remember the good times.
It's might not like to keep you, not the more
recent times, but like the good times that I've had
doing this podcast. You go again speaking of one of
the reasons to this podcast, Uh, talk to me about
my god children. How are your son and daughter? How
are Walker and Elis now? One of the best weeks
in the residenthal household. As you know, uh, Emica, my

(59:29):
wife this is not a made up story, burned herself
last week during Where's My Car? What's Up? Everybody? DJ
