Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to episode five of the Rosenthal and jessel Nick
Vanity Project, the favorite project your agents ever had. Cal
bunga dude. Shout out to Anthony's agent, who wrote a
(00:30):
glowing letter of email of how much he enjoyed the
show and you just weren't happy that normally he's not
as I was into his project. I was like, you've
never given me these many notes on my own act
that you made funny off of, but this is You're
like he was like, he was so excited about it.
He's a fan of mine previously, which is amazing. Yeah,
he like still can't believe for friends. Uh So we're
(00:51):
back for episode five. We're gonna talk a lot of
headlines later. We're gonna do our listener of the week
or our hot take of the week. The first thing
I want to, you know, dive into your your life
a little bit. We we talked about you moving last week.
How's that going. I thought, I'm officially moved in. I
got out of my last department. I had to spend
(01:12):
a couple of extra days in the hotel. They have
to move. They called me the first day of the
move and they were like, we found a bed bug
one bed bug on top of your pillow in your
old apartment, Like, what do you want us to do?
And I was like, burn it all down, burned it
to the ground. I had bed bugs once in New
York and it was awful. I don't even know if
I really believe that in your new apartment. In the
old apartment they found one. Okay, so before they take
everything over, Like do you want us to like brail this?
(01:33):
And I was like yes. So I had to stay
an extra day in the hotel. And then they called
me to tell me that they found my wallet my
bed but I lost three weeks ago, and I of course,
of course they found my wallet. Um. I think the
bed bugs probably took it and hit it under there. Um.
But it was fun. I stayed at the Sunset Marquis,
one of my favorite hotels in l A. And it's
like a nice it's like a nice place. A lot
of like a lot of celebrities stay there, a lot
(01:54):
of like rock stars and stuff. And last night I
had a really embarrassing moment that I have to share
with you. Uh, embarrassing than bed bugs, and bedbugs are
embarrassing as well. I was just like dirty, like people
just get them. And I had one. Although this is
becoming a bit of a recurring thing. Back when we
lived in l A. Your room was once when you
were with Chris Nelson in the room. Remember the old
scabies incident of I had scabies. I didn't understand how
(02:17):
the health worked, and I took a mattress out of
like a friend's garage that have been there for years
and just like threw it on the floor and put
a sheet over it and infected the entire house with scabies,
which are just like bed bugs, except instead of biting you,
they burrow into your skin. It's it's not a good thing.
So more embarrassing than that. Yeah, I got locked in
my room. I was with a friend last I having
some drinks, and I left my room key inside my room.
(02:40):
So I go to the front desk and I'm like, hey,
I'm in a roommade. Can you give me a new key?
And that like, uh, certainly, mr, justlyly, just have some
I D And I'm like no, but you know what,
I'm gonna pull a cool move here. I take up
my phone and I google myself and I said, listen
to this work. The other day when I was like
buying jeans and I used to credit card. They were like,
do you have idea? I said, no, I lost my wallet.
But look at this, and I googled my something. I'm like, okay,
(03:00):
like looks up that. So I do that at the
front desk and they are yeah, they took it, and
so I was like all proud of myself. I was
like bragging to friends about it. At the front desk,
I was like, here, look at this, and they're like
kind of looking at it, but kind of like looking
at me like I'm trying to pay with monopoly money,
you know, And like someone's behind me ready to check in,
and they keep trying to move me out of the way.
I'm like, no, no no, just look at this. If you
look at this and look at me like I just
had a Netflix special and they're like, please move over.
(03:23):
That's in prais And right behind me checking in was
Steven Tyler and I was like, okay, I am not
a celebrity at all, Please let me in my room.
And they did. At the airport. By the way, can
you do that? Just forget your I d flash the
Jasminic special and see what happens. Not since nine eleven,
that's Brandon Marcus, by the way, our Crack staff producer.
(03:45):
Uh well, yeah, their reaction that they had initially like yeah,
you're you're crazy, That's that's kind of what I would
expect to happen. Yeah, they were right, they were full
blown right. I was not. I was I was weird.
I'm just surprised how Steven Tyler looking. He's recognizable still,
Oh absolutely. I mean there's no one who looks quite
like Steven Tyler. And I think Steven Tyler is awesome.
People can make their jokes. He's Steven Tyler. Man, He's
(04:07):
Steven Tyler. How has this week been? Of course, the
tragedies in France over the weekend, and one of the
things I immediately thought of, which is stupid and sad baby, Well,
but one of the things immediately thought of was that
your timeline, like on Twitter is gonna be going crazy
because your special Thoughts and Prayers is kind of addressing
(04:30):
the sentiment that happens after tragedies. Yeah, it was an
interesting week and I'll be kind of serious for a moment,
like my special checking out if you haven't uh Netflix
thoughts and prayers, um, and like the kind of it
ends by talking about that, like, uh, the hollow sentiment
of like tweeting out or going on Facebook and writing
my thoughts and prayers are with you, and people kind
of it was weird to see because it's like the
(04:50):
strategy is going, people are reacting to it, and then
it's like my face is popping up, like people are
using kind of my argument against them and sometimes misquoting me.
Some people putting up like YouTube clip like cut out,
like it kind of took out parts of the joke,
which was weird to see. I think people kind of
missed the point too that I'm not against expressing sentiment.
If you're upset and you want to express it on Twitter,
on Facebook, go ahead. I'm against hollow sentiment in any form.
(05:12):
So it was kind of weird just to see this
tragedy unfold and then to be kind of made a
part of it and people keep tweeting like, where's your joke,
where's your joke about this? I made a comment like
I was, I was. I was talking about my friends
special that came out that day, and I kind of
equated the two, like, you know, speaking of tragedies. Go
check out my friend John Malaney's Netflix specially he's a
good friend of mine. He thought it was funny. People
(05:33):
keep saying like, where's your joke? Like, I want a
harder joke. Where's your joke? The one thing I'll say
is that I don't like being told what to do aggressively.
I reject that. And I don't care if you're my
biggest enemy, my biggest critic, or my biggest fan, shut
your mouth like I don't. I don't tweet because you
asked me too. So seeing or your friend, I could
say no, Yeah, if you were like, hey, where's your joke,
I'd be like, okay, uh, go yourself, which will be
(05:56):
an edit for sure. Um So yeah, it was. It
was interesting to see those, uh to see those this week.
But I wonder if maybe I made a difference, Maybe
someone gave money as opposed to just you know, writing
something on on their wall patting yourself on the back.
Now I'm thinking like, if there is a silver lining,
maybe that's it. But I would see I think a
lot of people really rejected the hollow notion like there
(06:17):
was one of my favorites. Chrystal Leiah, a comic friend
of mine, retweeted a guy who had like six pack abs,
you know, and he took a selfie of himself with
the Eiffel Tower peace symbols on his abs. It was hilarious.
So maybe maybe I've made a difference in this world. Yeah,
you might have prevented some hollow sentiments being out there.
(06:37):
I mean, yeah, I noticed that, like everyone tried to
dig up whatever picture they had when they visited France
of course essentially, yeah, and I'm not against that as
so much as just being like my thoughts and prayers
and leaving it at that. Like, but it's more though, like, hey, here,
don't forget about me exactly, don't forget about me today.
I'm a part of this too. It's actually it reminds
me a little bit of when Brandon, our producer, tried
(06:59):
to suggest and we'll get into this maybe another time. Um,
but when you try to suggest a you know, social
social media at the NFL wanted to promote our show,
but like, nothing in our show was remotely promotable. So
they suggested like doing some sort of top five lists,
and uh, and once Brandon or you know, they just
suggested any you basically just shut them down to that up.
(07:20):
I said, we're absolutely not going to do that. No.
I suggested something last week. Anthony just stared at me. Now,
I just we're not going to do that. There's no
argument here is like you have anything else. I'm like no,
He's like, all right, not doing it. Maybe next week. No,
little spoiler alert, we will. We will do some fun
lists maybe in the future, but not not today. We'll
we'll work on making a good one of our own,
a good fan base. Right now. I'll do it my way,
(07:42):
without the social my way or the highway. So we
we've had a lot of listeners that have enjoyed the podcast.
We appreciate all of you, um, but I've been most
surprised about how it's really taken off in the Rosenthal
and justin like families. Yes, our mothers, our mothers both
both coming in independently this week, which I thought was
hilario is uh. And it's the difference between the comments
were great, you start, what did your what did your
(08:03):
mom say about the podcast? Uh? She's she tweeted, she
texted me last Thursday. She would listened very quickly. Cassanova
Frankenstein exclamation, exclamation that of course if you you know
you didn't you miss the show or don't remember. That
was the name of our bond in college, which I
immediately started thinking, God, do I really want my parents
even listening to this, learning lots about my son. Animal
(08:26):
cruelty hard to take, maybe a metaphor for the NFL
fun flow between you and Anthony book bit great edition.
And then she's got some emojis with the clapping hands,
some happy faces. Overall, she she's really charmed, charmed by it.
But when I talked to her on the phone, yeah,
she she did say the animal cruelty she thought was
(08:46):
was just tough for her. See, that's really funny because
of my mom's reaction. Like, my mom, of course, has
been beaten down by my career the past, the past decade.
You make jokes about her, well it's not really her
but a character that's her dad essentially exactly, and are
all extremely offensive and like and horrible. So my mom
has been able to gotten used to it. She said.
Her comment was she loved everything. I've kind of trained
(09:08):
her just to enjoy it, but she could not stand.
She wasn't upset about the animal cruelty. She was upset
about the constant repetition of touchdown air bud that is
what that was, what her problem was that drove her crazy?
Uh and I, which I thought was very funny. And
then she said something that broke my heart. She said,
it was just nice to get to hear how you're
doing and be able to like, like hear about how
(09:30):
your life is going. I didn't know you're moving to
new apartment. Like, it's nice to be able to catch
up with you, and my heart broke. I sent her
I sent my mom a case of wine. Yes, I
mailed her case. Fine, And I promise you, Mom, I
will call you once a week every week until one
of us dies. Probably be her, just statistically that's more likely.
I don't know. I don't know last I've had Right now,
(09:54):
I'm surprised, um, surprised by your mom's reaction in general,
just that she she wasn't more negative. Well that yeah,
basically that she wasn't more negative, and like, who doesn't
enjoy air bud? That was a great bit. It shout
out to all the Uh. I don't know why I'm
doing shoutouts. It's like ten years ago, we're seeing your
(10:17):
old girl or something. But I really appreciated everyone really
jumped onto the air bud phenomenon and tweeted at at
me and Anthony are just me all week. There's some
really funny, funny pictures, some funny clips out there. It
seems to really be taking over the populace. You got
near the shoutouts. Queen with teeth can be fun. That's it.
(10:38):
Do what we cut, Let's do what we cut. That
was your old droop his brand new song basketball and
Seinfeld that he gave me a shout out last week,
speaking of shoutouts for playing his songs so many times.
(10:59):
Last weekend we got about the NFL not in trouble,
but they said that we are not allowed to play
the same song over and over again. We can only
play it once unless we have permission. So euro Drew
would be the one exception, because I think he basically
has given us permission when he said I f u
X with you, which by the way, did not get
edited at all. Lasts a little surprised about that. Um,
(11:22):
it's all about spelling. It's all about the spelling. So
let's look at what did get cut from last week.
Um uh, this is if you don't listen to the
show often, you should. And what we do is the
NFL gets to edit whatever they like from the podcast,
but I get to talk about it the next week.
Of actually what they cut out, I don't always remember
what it is, but I will tell you that's the
best of my ability. Um. Again, we I got in
(11:42):
trouble um talking about breast cancer. UM. I don't even
know what I actually said, but I talked about the
makeup ladies here at the NFL network, UM and breast cancer.
Then we talked about UM, Rex's Rex Ryan's tattoo. UM,
I know he's a tattoo of who. Let's his tattoo of?
He's got a tattoo of which player for the Bills?
(12:03):
Now on his arm was his wife in a Bill's jersey.
And I was gonna say he's got a tattoo of H.
I can't. I'm kampa and I'm not saying that right.
I'm I K, I K and I'm poly. He got
his tattoo of I K and I'm Pola. Edited for content,
which of course was edited, and I'm sure we'll be
edited this week. Really, you need to talk around it.
(12:23):
Remember the second time, I know, I know, I do
what I want. UM. After that, we had a joke
that actually a lot of people texted me. My brother
texted me to ask me what I said about what
the worst job in America is? Uh. It was someone's girlfriend. M.
I won't say who, but if you listen, you will
know who I'm talking about. Um. And then another reference
(12:45):
to I said they would stopped in his tracks as
as if he was Blank's girlfriend. Again, a very insensitive
thing to say. I said something about a major tragedy
in this country being an inside job, UM, which I
don't stand by, but I think it's funny to say. Uh.
Then another reference that we've gotten this edited out every
single week. I'm sure this week would be no different.
(13:06):
A certain player's bed full of uh. And then Greg, actually,
this is what you got bleeped. You said the word uh.
So if you think of I'm sure they got bleeped.
Right now, he said Richard Nixon's nickname Tricky Blank. Greg
said that, and it was edited. What is this password?
Or I'm trying to talk around it. I'm trying to
get into this. You're you've got the potty mouth. I'm
(13:27):
just trying to clean it up. And that was what
we cut everybody. Anymother want to rap now tell I'm
gonna shack for young enough cash out. That was mac Miller,
mac Miller, Pittsburgh's second favorite son. All right, Anthony brought
me to a mac Miller show. That's right, it's pretty exciting.
It was a great time. Sat in the back or
stood in the back, fell old. Yeah, and then we
got to go open the front like champions. They just
(13:49):
camp and gave us passes. You know why, for no
reason whatsoever. Let's get in the headlines, greg. The NFL
apologized this week for not considering color blind folk like
myself when they rolled out color rush jerseys. Now, this
is all the way back last Thursday night. You might
(14:09):
remember the Bills and the Jets played on Thursday Night
football the NFL. Uh. It was very bright. It was
bright green, bright red. It was on the green field.
And immediately when this happened, I started watching the game.
I I talked to my friend Chris Westley right next
to me, who's on the Around the NFL podcast, and
I said, click, can you are these uniforms giving you?
(14:31):
Can you tell the difference between the Bills and the
Jets right now? And he looked at me like I
was absolutely crazy, because like it looks like there's twenty
two guys on the same team, and so I tweeted
out something about it very quickly, and the color blind
people of America stood up and they were heard up.
You know, those was color blind air Bud touch, which
(14:53):
is another reason why air Bud would never make it
in this league. UM. I thought it was funny. I
saw your tweet and you were kind of like the
on the four of reporting on this story as a
color blind person. I myself, I'm not color blind. UM,
although I do wear glasses sometimes when I drive a night,
I don't want to come off I don't want to
seem like I'm like, you know, a superior human being. UM,
I'm just like everybody else. I put my pants on
(15:14):
one leg at a time. But I thought it was
very funny because it reminded me of Greg being color
blind in college. Quick story Greg. For the three years
that we lived together in houses after the dorms, Greg
had green carpet in his room and every single place
you had like a dark green carpet. And you also
owned one bathing suit and it was a red bathing
suit any time because anytime we would go swimming, we
(15:36):
would go tubing, we would do anything that needed a
bathing suit. We'd all be all right, you guys ready
to go, let's leave in noon. And we'd be like,
all right, we're all waiting. We're like, where's Greg. Where's Greg?
And we always go into your room and you would
be just wandering around your room like in a day's
looking for your red bathing suit, which you could not see,
and it would be right in front of me. Every
single time. You just sat on your floor and we
would have to find your bathing suit. I don't know
why you didn't get a different colored carpet, a different
(15:58):
colored bathing suit. But but without me as your friend,
you never would have gone swimming in college. First of all,
this is a this is a made up story. I
don't think this is true. This is how many how
can I make that up? How many times do you
go swimming in college? Okay, we went to being maybe
a couple of times out in Louisiana. Yeah, we go
to the Levy and you want you want to be
(16:18):
Maybe it was short. I don't believe that. Though this
seems like something you made up, made up on your own,
it's well it does you know, break up? Point up
that the color blind people, you know, people forget about
you know, when you're talking about different diseases, disabilities. Not
a lot of people have a lot of sympathy for
the color blind. But that example right there, I think
there's the kind of obstacles we have. I think there
(16:38):
should be allowed to be pilots. I think only I
think only color on people should be allowed flight plans.
One thing about music when here you're feeling no pain
like folks controls your brain on no bed And that's
say man. We read for that two soaks is headed back.
That was dead Friends. It was a lot of dead
friends we played. We played a lot of that. That
(17:00):
was one of the best verses ever. Though it's a song,
it's a great song. Here thanks Brandon. Uh, you know,
Anthony did a we we should get a video in here,
at least just the show. We don't need to take
the whole thing, but just the show, the moves Anthony's
doing between each I've got one dance headline and knocking
out of the park. Cam Newton's got a lot of dances.
(17:21):
He combines him loved this Cam Newton dance controversy. He's
he's got the dad. He likes the dab on them folks,
I don't even know where that came from. He I
don't even think really know where it came from. It
sounded like maybe a sixteen year old brother said he
would really like Cam Newton to kind of throw that
into the mix when he scored his touchdown and when
(17:41):
he did against Tennessee to put the game away last week.
You know, the Titans player, especially Avery Williamson, was not
happy that Cam was doing about a ten second you know,
multi pronged dance. Every Williamson comes over yells at him
a little bit, and then Cam in response, instead of
like yelling back, is aggressively starts to send dance moves
(18:02):
like it's a rap, like a dance battle right back
at Avery Williamson. It was amazing. It was amazing. Like,
Kim Newton is now my favorite non stealer in the league.
And I do not like rooting for anyone else except
from Steelers, but Kim is awesome for this. Anyone who's
like saying he shouldn't be doing it, I think it's
a first. I think it's like borderline racist and totally wrong.
Like someone who was the guy who was like, oh,
(18:23):
he's not like a he's not a diva wide receiver.
He shouldn't be doing that. Like it's okay for wide
receivers to dance running backs, but not a quarterback. If
you're if every single player on the field, the whole
entire other team is trying to kill you, and then
you do that when you get in the end zone,
you're putting the biggest target on yourself. I think it's
the coolest thing you can possibly do. He is hardcore book.
You know who loves it? Fans When I was a kid,
(18:46):
I mean, you love Dion Sanders dancing. Teammates love it.
Cam Newton had, you know, a great point, he said,
I'm a firm believer. If you don't like me to
do it, then don't let me in in the end zone. Man,
exactly get Maddie scored on. You don't get Maddie's dancing.
So loves dancing. It's in the Bible. The Bible loves
Cam Newton. Uh. I was most taken aback by the
(19:06):
letter that the Charlotte Observer printed from an angry Panthers
fan who is like a local CEO of a company.
I believe she has season tickets and and this to me,
the fact that they printed. It was objectionable. I think
that the paper put it in at all. Absolutely, It's
like it's like, this is Nashville, not the town from Footloose.
(19:30):
Here's the I'm gonna read. I'm gonna read my favorite
parts of this letter. Um. Because of where we sat,
we had a close up view of your conduct in
the fourth quarter. The chest puffs, the pelvic thrusts, the
arrogant struts, and the in your face taunting of both
the Titans players and fans. We saw it all skipped down.
My daughter sends the change immediately and started asking questions.
(19:51):
Won't he get in trouble for doing that? Is he
trying to make people mad? Do you think he knows?
He looks like a spoiled brat. I didn't have great
answers for her, and honestly, in an effort to minimize
your negative impact and what was otherwise a really fun day,
I re erected her attention to the cheerleaders and mascot.
Is that is that what your coaching mentors modeled for you,
Mr Newton? This woman sounds like a sounds like a
(20:14):
damn Simpsons character. Doesn't seem like she said that you
have to be insane to write this letter to be
that upset. You don't understand, I'll explained to your kids.
Did he scored a touchdown and celebrated what a moron
stared at dancing I've loved I mean, yeah, almost had
me in tears there, Anthony Jesly showing off his acting chops.
That was good stuff. Uh. No, the wife they the
(20:41):
woman's and hysterical, and you're gonna have a lot harder
things to explain if you're having the harder times with that.
And then your answer to uh, to the problems. Oh,
let's go look at the women, go point, go look
at the women and skimpy outfits getting paid below minimum wage?
Uh to dance around? That's that's a better that's a
(21:02):
better idea. Yeah. Trying to figure out why the Titans
of a mascot, maybe that should be the question. So
Mike mclarkey, the coach of the Titans, UH, had a
comment on it after the game. This is really I
think what what kicks started the whole thing? And I
know there was a whole lot of people frustrated by it.
You know that's uh a little rubbing in your face
(21:24):
type of deal, which there's a little code of ethics
in the NFL and uh, not a good move. You know,
he's just but I am proud of him. I'm proud
of what he did. Just stood up for our team.
What code of ethics? No dancing code of ethics. It
doesn't make any sense at all. It was a joyful celebration.
Keep him out of the end zone if you don't
(21:45):
want him dancing. Yeah. I want to get too deep
into this, but it's a couple of days after a
pretty big tragedy and people just treating this like it's
like people take football so seriously. I think that's one
of the reasons why I love my job and that
I've had a good you know, be with my career
and all that. It's because, like because I just enjoy it.
Because it's football. That's the whole point of it. It's fun.
It's sports. Like I never take it that seriously. Yeah,
(22:08):
how fun. I think you should do a dance every
single time they do anything. Like if you ever watched right,
have you ever seen like Grambling versus Southern Every year
it's the best game of the year because no matter
what happened, someone's dancing. Someone's gonna dance. And I think
that's how the NFL should be. It's on NBC every
year too. Everyone exactly now they're great dance on NBC.
And this is what people loved. It was the Drew
(22:30):
Stanton celebration, which I also loved. You know, I mean
that was like one of the most amazing things ever.
When when the backup quarterback on the on the Cardinals.
If you didn't see, I'm sure you did. Uh you know,
it does his like super white guy like Dan. Like
immediately Emma got my wife texted me and was just like,
oh my god, that was the funniest thing I've ever seen.
It was great. It was great, It was hilarious. It
was It was like the opposite of Cam Newton's dance.
(22:52):
You know, one guy's got rhythm, one guy doesn't. I'll
let you guys figure out who's who. People love the
Drew Stanton dance. The same people who got mad about
about Cam Newton dancing loved your standing And I think
I think the answer is racism. Wow, league wide not
afraid to tackle the serious subjects. I really enjoyed. I
thought you would enjoy this too, because you're you're kind
of a wrestling I don't know if you're a wrestling fan,
(23:14):
but a little bit like like the whole the whole
mindset or strategy behind wrestling a little I like the
I like kind of like the bad guy wrestlers, you know,
like ravishing Rick Rude was like a huge influence on
me as a as a person. He's not even making
a joke that that's that's totally true. Uh. And Carson Palmer,
who is usually the good guy, kind of did a
little bit of a heel turn, which I loved when
(23:36):
when the wrestlers turned bad in Seattle and he does
the big suck it to the crowd, which you just
do not expect from Carson Bobber. That was outstanding. It
was like a half a suck and it wasn't like
the full extra cross. It was kind of like a
like a hip thrust, which I like, like he kind
of knew he would get in trouble, but he still
had to do it, which I appreciated from him. I
think that was great. Like what would what would your
(23:57):
what would your celebration be? You know, I mean, if
you're gonna have a celebration for us, what would your
what would your football celebration be? Well, I don't know
if you know, but I'm an expert on this because
I was a guest. I was one of the analysts
on the top ten touchdown celebrations ever on and that
was that's the thing to show. I talked about Steve
Smith's celebration. Uh, every celebration has been done, and there's
(24:19):
so many rules. It's really hard to think of something
that hasn't been done, especially with the ball and everything.
But one thing that's never been done with I think
would be really fun. In this scenario, I'm a hundred
and thirty five pounds, right, I'm a five ft five
pound football players, so I'm not gonna get any ends
on too often. I'm gonna, you know, just used by both.
I would take the ball and I would just run
over to the other sideline and throw the ball as
(24:40):
hard as I could at some other player on the team. Like,
no one's ever done that, but it would be great.
This is true. You get a penalty, but so not
the person who was like defending you or try to
tackle you, just running like a random Now, like if
I didn't like Drew Stanton, maybe I would just go
over to someone that that I think would be funny
to just throw the ball right at him. That would be.
That would be good. I would approve if you did that.
I would appreach that. My my move would be kind
(25:03):
of like the throats last gesture, you know what I mean,
Like with the thumb, like they got banned only across
my crotch, you know what I mean, Like I don't
even need my junk to be a bigger man than you.
You know what I mean, Like take my junk away,
cut it off and I'll still like. That would be.
That's how good I am. Heaven, this world. It is
a pistol in the promise, a fistful of Dallas, a
(25:23):
list full of promise, a dressing like the pat from
the ball is the creo that was little Wayne. Wayne.
Yeah we can't. We can't play the same song twice,
but we can still play all the Little Wayne. That's
when for years one of my favorite ones, Ben Roethlisberger,
your boy came back in the lineup. Maybe there is
(25:45):
no Rosenthal and jessel Nick vanity project curse never gets old.
Maybe there is no curse because Landry Jones got hurt
and then incomes Ben Ratha's burger saves the day has
a great game against the Browns, and Antonio Brown, who
(26:05):
had another unbelievable performance, did what I think was the
best celebration of the entire year, even topping Cam Newton
doing a front flip into the end zone. It was
amazing because he literally like flipped into the end zone,
you know what I mean, Like he was his momentum.
If he just stopped mid flip, he wouldn't have been
in the end zone. Like it was the most perfect,
like video game play I've ever seen. I loved. I
thought was the coolest flip ever. I think it was
(26:28):
one of the best celebrations of all time because it
was part of the play he was he was celebrating
before he even hit the end zone. Like he combined
the celebration with the play with like unbelievable athleticism and
and it got me thinking, Like Antonio Brown right now,
this is more of a point you know, I probably
would make on the other podcasts, and you don't care
(26:48):
at all about my football opinions. But Antonio Brown right now,
the last year and a half, he's had about as
good a year and a half as any receiver I've seen.
And and people don't think of Antonio Brown like in
that way that he has a chance and right now
to me, he is playing like an all time great
and I think the greatest Steelers receiver I've ever seen.
(27:11):
That's very possible. I think that a couple of things here.
I think of Roethlisberger isn't getting injured. I think Antonio
Brown is in the m v P account conversation, he's
that he's that could record breaking one of the best
Doers wide receivers. I also think of Ben telling him
not to do flips anymore. I I agree because watching it,
I was like, I can't believe he didn't tear everything
(27:31):
that ends with the cel Like I would think you
would destroy yourself by doing that kind of a flip
in uh in mid sprints. It's been really to be
giving like safety advice. Well exactly, well Ben with Ben thing,
with the Ben thing, you can't tell someone not to
do a backflip unless you yourself can do a backflip,
you know what I mean? Like, that's the only that's
the criteria for being able to tell someone at and
(27:51):
I'll tell you this, We're gonna talk about best Steelers
wide receivers. Ever, Brown still is behind one man, and
that is my favorite Stewers player of all time. Hines Ward.
Hines Ward. I may not have made the plays the
Brown can make, but hines Ward broke linebacker's jaws, was
(28:12):
blocked like he was the most badass wide receiver ever,
the toughest dude of all time. I love hines Ward.
So it's gonna take a little while before I I
get that browns the Brown jersey. No, that that makes sense.
Any Ward had a longer run, He's, uh, you know,
gonna have a potential Hall of Fame career. Lock, I
guess what I'm even talking. He's definitely a Hall of famer.
(28:34):
The Pittsburgh fan, though, always gets into this and I
and I get it. It's like you guys kind of
consider you to like, hey, we're Steel City. It's like
we like that rugged defense, like you loved like Jerome Bettis.
You know you love like you love hines Ward more
than Antonio Brown, who does like the fancy don't don't
fancy between my children. I just think the Brown's got
a little ways to go before. It's like with my parents,
(28:55):
I'm the oldest to five, I'm I'm the clear favorite.
But they would never say that you know what I'm
They would never say that loud hinds Ward, I know,
has uh somehow gotten into your life recently, which is
a pick thrill for you. He funds like he's hiding
into my bed. You know. I got an email the
other day and this is like, this is like part
of the world that the podcast has been opening up
(29:16):
to me, that Hinds Word is starting a podcast. And
the emails like would Anthony I want to be his
first guest? And I was like, of course, hinds what
is my favorite player? I'm not even with that podcast
is going to be. I can't believe he's like has
the balls to have me on as his first guest.
It seems to like it could be like an already
lang Joe Buck situation ruined Joe Buck's life. But and
I haven't heard back since I said, of course I
(29:37):
will do this, So we'll see, We'll see what happens.
But just to get to meet hines Ward again. I
shook his hand once outside of a giant eagle, but
but just to meet him, Aganna would be would be
a thrill, That would be amazing. That would be one
of those things that if you had told a twenty
year old Anthony jessel Nick that hinds Word will somehow
start like a radio like program that you listen to
on your iPod and that he would want you to
(30:00):
be his first guest. Is a is a pretty ridiculous thing.
Now that's said, I wonder like who is thinking of
connecting you with him? Like? Is it Hines himself? Like
is it? Do they know what your comedy? Like? What? Guy?
This is a surprising podcast choice for hinds Word, considering
the milk toast analysis he usually gives up an NBC Sure.
I think that people are just excited, like to find
(30:20):
a way to get me out of doing this podcast.
You follow from that skunk in the saying that it's
crunky in the dungeon. He goes on and on and
on like that, going down to the beats and the
house in the left that was outcast one of my
favorite songs at l Who do You? Who? Do you
want to Connor Grace's favorite songs right there? Yeah, big
(30:45):
week for Brett five this week, Let's be honest. Uh,
Peyton Manning broke his career passing yardage records, But it
could not have gone any better for Brett Fire a
disastrous game for Peyton Anning, and then Brett Farve had
a little comment about it, a video that he posted
on the internet. Payden, I'm in a tree stand Yeah,
(31:10):
you've interrupted me again anyway, and I'm very happy for you, congrats,
but now you have to take him all away. Good
luck man the best. I love it so much. It's
totally first of all here, he couldn't be less happy
for Peyton Manning doing any of this. Um and he's
(31:33):
and he's like, he's in a tree. He's clearly still
hiding from his wife. It's been years, it's been years
since he texted anyone anything. But he's still in the forest,
like the like the like the damn Blair witch hiding
from his wife, recording messages. It is. It is a
hilarious video. I love whenever they have someone congratulating someone
for breaking their own record. It couldn't be less since here,
(31:54):
why do you do it? I'd rather have it like
cut breath, far of being like he which would be
a totally natural response, especially from Brett Farve, who we
know cares so much about the individual records and if
he somehow knew the situation that Peyton Manning was in
at the moment that he Peyton Manning only needed three
(32:15):
yards to break the record. Before he did that, he
threw an interception. Then he did break the record, they
stopped the game for a second. The very next play
was a third down where it was an incompletion, so
they punted. Then he throws three more interceptions. The worst
day of Peyton Manning's career completely ruined everything. And then
at the end of this video, Brett five sticks that
in a little bit. Oh, now you gotta take them
(32:35):
all the way. Yeah, he knows they're not taking them
all the way. He's like, yeah, trying to take them
all the way, just like I did with that last
broken Vikings tagment. It's my favorite congrats, like instance your
congrats since like dan Marina would do them, and dan
Marina was like gritted teeth, like they would show him
the JumboTron and he said, he's clearly furious. They had
to do ten takes to get him through it, and
he's just like he's so mad that people still play football.
(32:58):
After dam Marina retired, were sitting in him when they
went home, and I'm sitting them, I'm defending them with
many of your wraps whenever I'm o't fending him back
when with my raculous side. That was paramaneh one of
sound bombing burnt uh. Andy Dalton has been in the
news this week. He struggled on Monday Night football worst
(33:21):
game of the year against the Texans, first loss for
the Bengals. They're back in the spotlight this week against Arizona,
but and Andy is getting a lot of attention. And
it really all started with J. J. Watt from the
Texans his comments after the game, our goal was to
come out here and make the red rifle looked like
a red rotter baby gun. That wow, it couldn't feel
(33:44):
like a less of an insult. That that's ESPN's Lisasaulters, uh,
you know, really giving giving him the wow. And that
was It was such a stage, just almost an annoying
moment from J. J. Watt. And I think the country
was ready to turn on J. J. Watt for a
couple of minutes, but Andy Dalton didn't let it happen
(34:04):
and disappointed in him too. I mean for the integrity
of this game. You know, I have a lot of
respect for him. He played, He's a really good player
and so there's a lot of a lot of kids
and a lot of people that look up to him
and for him to make comments like that, and he's
just showing that, you know, yeah, that's acceptable to to
do that kind of stuff and say that kind of stuff.
And what are you doing. You're you're an NFL quarterback.
(34:27):
You can't act like that. You're supposed to be like
an eagle, Like I can do anything. I could fly
if I wanted to, I'm gonna win every game. Talking
about the integrity of the game by going from the
red rifle to be begun. That's you couldn't handle it.
You had to speak out on the matter. What a loser.
He imagine if you own an Andy Dalton jersey, like
(34:47):
right now, you have to get rid of it. You
have to just give it. I don't care who you
get Jeo Bernard, like getting old Ikey Woods. It doesn't
make a difference. Like that is an embarrassment. Don't even
just they should like everyone instance, then I should drop
the Dalton jersey's off and they should be given to
grandmother's because that's the kind of people who talk like
you know who you know who? You know you can
give it to that is that woman who wrote the
(35:09):
letter in Caroline see talking about integrity the game, no
dancing and no no, no making slightly different puns about
someone's nickname. It's great because it was such a it
was such a mild insult. And just like imagine if
imagine if you were in high school and someone made
that lame of a response and then that and that
(35:30):
was your response. Sorry, like we gotta we gotta talk
about the integrity, like let's let's be real men around
here want to practically read that off of his hand.
Andy Welton, though, made it worse on Wednesday, like as
if he couldn't. I didn't think he could make it
possibly worse, but on web down and when Wednesday, no,
(35:50):
I would have respected him doubly down actually more. When
he talked about it on Wednesday, he realized, um, it
had become a story, and he said what I did
was I responded to what someone had said, and on
my part, I shouldn't have reacted without hearing my comments
were unwarranted and I'm moving on. His comments were unwarranted.
Wait are you talking to his brandon? I did not
(36:13):
realize my mic was on. All right, that's our producer Brandon. Sorry,
Now let's leave it in there, like see Andy Dalton
of producers. Let's go back. This is great branded, We're
we're gonna truck forward. Now let's just go through. Let's
just go way through this, just going through it. I mean,
do you want to apologize? Do you want to talk
about the integrity of the podcast? All right, Uh, then
(36:34):
let's move on. I'm gonna be. I'm gonna be. That
was the Proclaimers. Shockingly enough, that was a song that
was played at Greg's wedding. I'm not joking. We were
all into it. Though, we're all into it. This is
this is one of my favorite stories, kind of our
(36:56):
our story of the week about Ed Hart Greg Hardy, sorry,
h Ed Hardy. Greg Hardy confused the two because I
have owned so many clothes made by both of them.
Um uh Greg Hardy was late for work this past week.
The headline was Greg Hardy tardy, which made me furious. Um.
And and they say he didn't sleep in, he was
late to practice. He did not sleep in, And I
(37:17):
know we didn't sleep in. Uh. If he's sleeping on
Greg Hardy's bed unless unless he's used in a new product. Uh.
Andy Dalton's pillawfol tears. That was That was pavement. I'm
(37:46):
so mad right now. Well, I thought we should have
an extra lung. Let's to bring you back to, uh,
what it was like to be driving the past country
those memories. This is what happens when I let you
choose the music. Yeah, I thought we had more wraps,
but I guess we're We're into the pavement portion of
the show. Edited to keep your interest. That was yo
(38:18):
yo ma, Yo yo ma. Last story the week, Charlie
Sheen announced on The Today Show he is HIV positive,
and I just I thought of the roast that you
did with Charlie. It was kind of very classic Charlie
Sheen way. What he wasn't doing it to spread awareness.
He wasn't doing it too, you know, like help people
(38:40):
accept the disease. He was doing it so people would
stop blackmailing him, because he often has to tell prostitutes
that he is HIV positive and then pay them extra
to not use a condom. And he has to pay
them extra money to not tell people that. So he said,
you know what, let me save some money, go on
the Today's Show and tell people of HIV, which it
makes me love him even more. Um he he was,
he was. I got to meet him once doing the roast.
(39:02):
My favorite story about him is that he cleaned up
really well for the roast. He like he kind of
looked like he was in shape, like he wasn't doing
any drugs. And I was like, Oh, Charlie's on the wagon.
That's good. Good for him. And I meet him at
a party the night before the roast and at his
manager's house and he's talking to me and he's holding
what looks like a beer but looks like a non
alcoholic beer. It's got like a weird label. I'm like, Charlie,
that's what are you? What are you drinking right now?
And he's like, Oh, this is a marijuana infused beer
(39:24):
I got from Amsterdam. And I'm like, what is that.
He's like, it's a beer that's like a high in
alcoholic content and has THHC in it. He's like, you
want one? And I said, Charlie, I've got to do
a roast Tomorrow's just like you. That's like him being
on the wagon is just just sticking to marijuana and
infused beer, which is why he's one of the greatest
(39:45):
actors of this generation sounds like an amazing product. Though, yeah,
it sounds great, sounds great. I don't I don't need
to mix them, you know what I mean? I can.
I can have a beer in one hand and marijuana
the other, especially not the night before the roast. Yeah,
day off, make money, no matter what the what? Yes,
(40:15):
remind me who that is. I'm sad to say it's
Gang Star, who's one of the greatest rap duos ever,
but released one of the worst rap songs ever and
then put it on their Greatest Hits too. That was
on the Greatest Hits, So you listen to that song
a lot in college just because it was so bad. Hilarious. Greg,
who is the Listener of the Week Listener of the
(40:37):
Week this week is one of I mean, it couldn't
possibly be more special, touched it's what's Airbud himself? No
explain explain the Airbud. It's a dog. Airbud is a dog.
But we tweeted out some Airbud or some people were
(40:58):
tweeting out some air Bud like comments after the podcast.
I think I made a joke, Like you know, this
podcast has some Rex Ryan talk, et cetera, and and
too much Airbud, too much Airbud and Airbud Sorry, Mom,
I love you, I don't. Air Bud has a Twitter account,
(41:21):
It's verified, and he tweeted at us. He tweeted at
some of our listeners, and air Bud said what I
believe to be true, which is that you can never
have too much Airbud. Um. First of all, you're the
one who tweeted that we talked about too much Airbud.
So what do you mean? You know it's true, you know,
to people sometimes I don't know if you know this,
but for comedic effect, maybe throw a little sarcasm in,
(41:41):
you know, I didn't really think there's too much Airbud,
but it just kind of like gets the people thinking
about Airbud. You've got so many arrows in your quiver,
you can do it. All. Um, all right, I'll accept
air Bud as our listener of the week. Um, rotten hell,
air But oh rotten hell, what does that even mean? Well?
It it's kind of amazing though. Not only is he
(42:01):
a dog that um you know, get basketballs and other
products thrown off his head, uh, and managed to survive
all those concussions and and and he's dead. I believe
the original heir. But but he's able to run a
Twitter account and he only has two thousand followers. Yeah,
follow air Bud people, you're gonna get some great hilarity,
(42:23):
like like the like the very serious r I P
tweet about the dog killed during edited because Mrs Rosenthal
doesn't like that kind of talk. A moment of silence
(42:44):
a bud Anthony wanted to. Anthony wanted to have a contest.
Brandon I nixed this where we had a moment. It
wasn't even necessarily to this. It was to some potential
other stories that were out there this week that we
had a on test of how longer a moment of
silence could be, like whether we could do it for
four minutes absolute four seconds? You know, I think it
(43:09):
would have been I think it would have been really solemn.
I also wanna give some credit to Nate W nineteen
because each week we do uh, we do mention one
of our iTunes commenters that writes a comment that we
like because we want to encourage you to comment, give
it five stars, subscribe, tell your friends about it. That's
how we're gonna make this thing get two episodes. Six
(43:31):
h Nate said, touchdown air bud question, you know, asking
touchdown air Bud? No touchdown our j v P. My
thoughts and prayers go out to anyone who doesn't find
this great pot. It's super funny and it's great report
spelled her poor hung But the only downside they're gonna
get fired. Yep, like we said, job, I think I
think that's gonna happen. Ask Anthony this week? Why do
(43:53):
you dress Anthony like Hank Moody? And for the listeners
who don't know Hank Moody, the star character of Californication, Yes,
played by the Great David dicovany Um, why do I
dress like Hank Moody? That means why do I dress
so cool? Right now I'm wearing a leather jacket. You
couldn't have You couldn't have been more addressed for this. Yeah,
I I like. I like to wear what I call uniform.
(44:15):
I have black T shirts, I have great T shirts.
I've got a couple of white ones. I've got one
pair of jeans and one leather jacket and I wear
them all the time. Sometimes a hoodie if I get
a little chili, and I sometimes will make fun of
me for that, and I just laugh right in their
face because I've earned the right to never think about
what I wear. I just put on whatever, and you
know what, you know what I look great? Is that
(44:37):
why you have only one pair of jeans? Could that be?
Don't That's how bed bugs work, just asking like I
bought a new pair of jeans last week, I went
into a store. I bought it a new pair of
jes that I want these jeans, bought them, said I'm
gonna wear them out, and then gave them my old
jeans to throw away. They were completely confused, And now
(44:59):
that store is probably the Riddle Bucks Touch Drang. Hot
Take the Week is from NFL Networks Mark Kriegel. Big
fan of Mark Creel's books. You should check him out.
That Joe namath One especially not not as much of
a fan of this tweet to Giants lose Romo back
(45:21):
if only the media critic Dez Bryant hadn't dropped the
crucial first down whole different season hashtag gaboys. First of all,
it's a little hard to understand even what he's saying.
But what he's saying is Dez Bryant blew their game
against the Buccaneers on Sunday. That's when he tweeted it out.
It sounds like because he it sounds like he tweets
using it's a problem with a hundred forty characters. Some people,
(45:45):
maybe the older generation in general, you know, it's hard
to adapt maybe to it. But he's basically saying, like
des Briant blew this game. They could be in the mix.
But what we really wanted to get out there is
that it was the media critic line because does Bryant
last week had this big dust up where he was
upset with one reporter. I don't know what did you
hear about this? Did you see it? They're always upset
with reporters. They like their job. It's like do everyone
(46:08):
you talk about players? Players get mad and that's football
one on one. And there's this, you know, there's this
sort of gotcha video where Dez Bryant is screaming and
yelling at his PR director to fix the situation, like
why don't you fix this? Rich just getting really really
mad and it just annoys because anytime and Dez Bryant,
I have no idea what the problem he had with
this particular reporter was. He thought what he was doing
(46:30):
was not professional, But any time any athlete even lightly gets,
you know, criticizes the media, like the sports media all
bows up together and just like goes after him, like,
how dare you criticize like what what we've done? Like
as if des Bryant couldn't have a problem with some
reporter when literally, guy guys like Mark Kriegel and myself,
(46:54):
our job all day is to essentially criticize and evaluate
these eyes who are incredible at their careers and be like, ah,
that this is Andy Dalton, like he's only the seventh
best quarterback in the world this week, and like when
whenever they dare to even have one little bit of criticism,
it reminded me. Actually, Jesse Eisenberg wrote something and then
(47:15):
New Yorker did you see that where he's kind of
taking a piss on film critics in general, like making
fun of film critics, and like every single one of
them lined up, and just like, how dare Jesse Eisenberg
do this? Like it's such such tropes that they're trotting
out there when literally their job is to be critics
and they can't and you can't take any criticism. So
that's a pet peeve of mine. That's just that's almost
(47:37):
that's at like it's almost like sports journalists or jealous
of athletes in which they could switch lives. But I'll
tell you who would never I'll tell you who would
never talk trash on the media. Touch job. He just
wouldn't do it. He just wouldn't do it. Let's talk
let's talk picks this week last week in two books,
before we did movies. Let's telly, let's do some TV shows.
(47:58):
Greg would give us a give us one. Are two
TV shows that people should be Why why don't you
stre I want to. I feel like you have better ones.
I do have better ones. Um first, I'm gonna say Fargo.
If you guys are not watching Fargo, Season one was amazing.
Season two is just as good. Hopefully it gets better.
I love when they do a mini series type thing,
because anyone can die. You know. It's only ten episodes
and a great new show on Netflix, Azizon Zaries, Master
(48:20):
of None and I rarely watched other comedy, but I've
been watching a couple episodes of this and it is great.
A Zes is fantastic. It's a really, really smart and
really well done show. Everyone should check it out. Wow. Alright,
that was so genuine. Yeah, how about how about you
edited to save Greg's marriage? I touched on seriously, we're
(48:43):
cutting all that out. That was part of my wedding speech.
A variety of reasons, most of which I was pointless.
Do you have any do you have any TVs? Why
I'm watching Silicon Valley now, And that's why I said
it's not it's good a um a pick because it's
not new, But who cares. There's a lot of people
out there that have have never watched it. You should
go back. I'm just finishing up it now. It cracks
(49:05):
me up so much. It's one of my favorite shows
of the last five years of any genre. Your boy
kummel h everything he does is hilarious, amazing. You know
who's like the sneaky star just like so hilarious in
that show is Zach Woods. Friends with every single person
(49:25):
on that show. They're all great. Thomas middle Ditch is underrated. Yes,
now he's great too. Most shows I really don't like.
I just laughed, you know, I watched it to laugh
or it's well written or whatever, and like I don't
genuinely get like invested in what happens. But this show
for whatever reason. It's like I really am rooting for
them in a in an almost childlike way. It's great show.
(49:47):
They're they're shooting season three right now, and I hear
I hear nothing but great things. They're very excited about it.
So when season three comes out after Game of Thrones,
you're gonna be psyched. Everybody catch up before that happens.
That was TV picks, that was your old Drew do,
(50:10):
my little Hank Moody dance and my Hank Moody clothes.
You should all dress like Hank Moody. Hank Moody dresses
like me. Let's get into a new segment I've come
up with. We've yet to repeat a final segment. I've
got a new one that I come up with called
this is America. Greg's gonna make some picks, and I'm
gonna explain to him, this is America. If you if
you like the crunker Funky Fucky Fresh by the makers
(50:34):
of that, here we go. I believe there's an end
in Funky Greig. I I'm just gonna make picks because
I don't really know where you're going here with this segment,
because this is obviously America. Although we have a lot
of overseas listeners, I'm gonna give everyone out there a
great tip. The Broncos are somehow underdogs this week against
Chicago because they have brock Os while they're starting Chicago's
(50:56):
playing a little better. That's ridiculous. Denver has one of
the great ist defenses of all time that I've seen
coming off a couple of bad games, but they're gonna
win this game. Broncos over the Bears are kidding me.
You're saying Broncos over Bears. Let me tell you something, Greg,
The world is my oyster, and my country is the pearl.
This is America. Christopher Columbus found here children pledge allegiance
(51:19):
to our flag because we make them My country. Tis
of the sweet land of Liberty, Stars and stripes, USA
Number one. Forever Bears over Broncos. Greg, this is America.
Do you have a Do you have a second one?
My second pick this week, also in America in the
Dome in Georgia, the Indianapolis Colts are gonna go into
(51:39):
Atlanta and they're gonna romp over the Atlanta Falcons haven't
been playing well this season Indianapolis overall, but I think
they turned a corner. Even though they lost Andrew Luck.
I think they played their best game of the season
a couple of weeks ago. They're gonna win this game
in Atlanta. You're picking the Colts over the Falcons. That's right.
Let me tell you something, Greg, into the Free Home
(52:00):
with the Brave. We have our own money called dollars
and cents. Here. We don't vote for kings and queens.
We vote for presidents, governors and city councilman. Our national
anthem is the national anthem. Can't be any more clear
than that, Falcons over Colts. This is America. Do uh sure? Yeah.
I'm not sure what that had to do with the game,
(52:21):
But the Arizona Cardinals this week are gonna put a
herding on Andy Dalton after his performance on the press conference.
I don't think he's gonna be able to show his
face in the locker room. His teammates aren't gonna trust him,
and Carson Palmer is gonna be eager to stick it
to Mike Brown, his former boss, the owner of the Bengals,
(52:42):
who he wants he threaten. You remember this, he wants
threatened to quit football. Carson Palmer if the Bengals didn't
get rid of him, and they didn't. Now he's gonna
beat him. So you're saying Cards over BEng Cardinals over Bengals.
I want to be clear here, fifty States baby plus
to Rico kind of maybe the Virgin Islands. In places
like that, the suddenly sets on this empire for a
(53:05):
couple of hours of night. We've got the Grand Canyon
and the Rocky Mountains and the rest of the world
can eat it. Bengals over Cards. This is America. Fourth. Yeah,
I mean your reasoning was pretty strong on that one.
But I'm gonna continue forth and I'm gonna pick the
(53:27):
Patriots on Monday Night. Not really going out on a
live there, but I think the Bills are gonna be
good in this game. I think it's gonna be a
tough game for the Patriots. Not you know, they don't
have Julian Edelman. You'll be one of the best Monday
Night games of the entire season. But in the end,
another late drive by Tom Brady and they went at
home in a close one over the Buffalo Bills. Actually,
we agree, you're picking the Bills over the Pats. Now
(53:48):
I'm taking the Patriots over the Bills. Oh, my God, Greg,
give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning
to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teaming shore.
Send these, the homeless tempest tossed to I lift my
lamp beside the golden door builds over Pats. This is
America touched, and that was this is America. I think
(54:11):
we're gonna be seeing more of that. I'm feeling. I'm
feeling the red, right and blue. I'm feeling like Captain
America over here. Somebody has to. Somebody has to because
the NFL certainly isn't patriotic enough for me. Have you
went to hospital net that was your old druke? My boy? Um, alright, kids, listen.
(54:35):
Next week is Thanksgiving, so we are taking the week off.
I'm gonna be out of town. Greg of course will
be here because he's got nothing better to do. But
I have a family who loves me, and I'm gonna
go travel to Pittsburgh to eat turkey with them. Uh,
you've spent the last two Thanksgivings with me. Actually, that's true.
Give me a break, and I'm here because that's where
my family is. We're gonna speaking to your family and
(54:55):
Greg we haven't talked about them all the whole episode.
How are my god children? How are your son and
daughter Ellison Walker, Well, you know my family couldn't help.
But notice every time you asked me at the end
of the show about my kids, it's like I never
Welcome to episode five of the Rosenthal and jessel Nick
Vanity Project, the favorite project your agents ever had. Cal
bunga dude. Shout out to Anthony's agent, who wrote a
(00:30):
glowing letter of email of how much he enjoyed the
show and you just weren't happy that normally he's not
as I was into his project. I was like, you've
never given me these many notes on my own act
that you made funny off of, but this is You're
like he was like, he was so excited about it.
He's a fan of mine previously, which is amazing. Yeah,
he like still can't believe for friends. Uh So we're
(00:51):
back for episode five. We're gonna talk a lot of
headlines later. We're gonna do our listener of the week
or our hot take of the week. The first thing
I want to, you know, dive into your your life
a little bit. We we talked about you moving last week.
How's that going. I thought, I'm officially moved in. I
got out of my last department. I had to spend
(01:12):
a couple of extra days in the hotel. They have
to move. They called me the first day of the
move and they were like, we found a bed bug
one bed bug on top of your pillow in your
old apartment, Like, what do you want us to do?
And I was like, burn it all down, burned it
to the ground. I had bed bugs once in New
York and it was awful. I don't even know if
I really believe that in your new apartment. In the
old apartment they found one. Okay, so before they take
everything over, Like do you want us to like brail this?
(01:33):
And I was like yes. So I had to stay
an extra day in the hotel. And then they called
me to tell me that they found my wallet my
bed but I lost three weeks ago, and I of course,
of course they found my wallet. Um. I think the
bed bugs probably took it and hit it under there. Um.
But it was fun. I stayed at the Sunset Marquis,
one of my favorite hotels in l A. And it's
like a nice it's like a nice place. A lot
of like a lot of celebrities stay there, a lot
(01:54):
of like rock stars and stuff. And last night I
had a really embarrassing moment that I have to share
with you. Uh, embarrassing than bed bugs, and bedbugs are
embarrassing as well. I was just like dirty, like people
just get them. And I had one. Although this is
becoming a bit of a recurring thing. Back when we
lived in l A. Your room was once when you
were with Chris Nelson in the room. Remember the old
scabies incident of I had scabies. I didn't understand how
(02:17):
the health worked, and I took a mattress out of
like a friend's garage that have been there for years
and just like threw it on the floor and put
a sheet over it and infected the entire house with scabies,
which are just like bed bugs, except instead of biting you,
they burrow into your skin. It's it's not a good thing.
So more embarrassing than that. Yeah, I got locked in
my room. I was with a friend last I having
some drinks, and I left my room key inside my room.
(02:40):
So I go to the front desk and I'm like, hey,
I'm in a roommade. Can you give me a new key?
And that like, uh, certainly, mr, justlyly, just have some
I D And I'm like no, but you know what,
I'm gonna pull a cool move here. I take up
my phone and I google myself and I said, listen
to this work. The other day when I was like
buying jeans and I used to credit card. They were like,
do you have idea? I said, no, I lost my wallet.
But look at this, and I googled my something. I'm like, okay,
(03:00):
like looks up that. So I do that at the
front desk and they are yeah, they took it, and
so I was like all proud of myself. I was
like bragging to friends about it. At the front desk,
I was like, here, look at this, and they're like
kind of looking at it, but kind of like looking
at me like I'm trying to pay with monopoly money,
you know, And like someone's behind me ready to check in,
and they keep trying to move me out of the way.
I'm like, no, no no, just look at this. If you
look at this and look at me like I just
had a Netflix special and they're like, please move over.
(03:23):
That's in prais And right behind me checking in was
Steven Tyler and I was like, okay, I am not
a celebrity at all, Please let me in my room.
And they did. At the airport. By the way, can
you do that? Just forget your I d flash the
Jasminic special and see what happens. Not since nine eleven,
that's Brandon Marcus, by the way, our Crack staff producer.
(03:45):
Uh well, yeah, their reaction that they had initially like yeah,
you're you're crazy, That's that's kind of what I would
expect to happen. Yeah, they were right, they were full
blown right. I was not. I was I was weird.
I'm just surprised how Steven Tyler looking. He's recognizable still,
Oh absolutely. I mean there's no one who looks quite
like Steven Tyler. And I think Steven Tyler is awesome.
People can make their jokes. He's Steven Tyler. Man, He's
(04:07):
Steven Tyler. How has this week been? Of course, the
tragedies in France over the weekend, and one of the
things I immediately thought of, which is stupid and sad baby, Well,
but one of the things immediately thought of was that
your timeline, like on Twitter is gonna be going crazy
because your special Thoughts and Prayers is kind of addressing
(04:30):
the sentiment that happens after tragedies. Yeah, it was an
interesting week and I'll be kind of serious for a moment,
like my special checking out if you haven't uh Netflix
thoughts and prayers, um, and like the kind of it
ends by talking about that, like, uh, the hollow sentiment
of like tweeting out or going on Facebook and writing
my thoughts and prayers are with you, and people kind
of it was weird to see because it's like the
(04:50):
strategy is going, people are reacting to it, and then
it's like my face is popping up, like people are
using kind of my argument against them and sometimes misquoting me.
Some people putting up like YouTube clip like cut out,
like it kind of took out parts of the joke,
which was weird to see. I think people kind of
missed the point too that I'm not against expressing sentiment.
If you're upset and you want to express it on Twitter,
on Facebook, go ahead. I'm against hollow sentiment in any form.
(05:12):
So it was kind of weird just to see this
tragedy unfold and then to be kind of made a
part of it and people keep tweeting like, where's your joke,
where's your joke about this? I made a comment like
I was, I was. I was talking about my friends
special that came out that day, and I kind of
equated the two, like, you know, speaking of tragedies. Go
check out my friend John Malaney's Netflix specially he's a
good friend of mine. He thought it was funny. People
(05:33):
keep saying like, where's your joke? Like, I want a
harder joke. Where's your joke? The one thing I'll say
is that I don't like being told what to do aggressively.
I reject that. And I don't care if you're my
biggest enemy, my biggest critic, or my biggest fan, shut
your mouth like I don't. I don't tweet because you
asked me too. So seeing or your friend, I could
say no, Yeah, if you were like, hey, where's your joke,
I'd be like, okay, uh, go yourself, which will be
(05:56):
an edit for sure. Um So yeah, it was. It
was interesting to see those, uh to see those this week.
But I wonder if maybe I made a difference, Maybe
someone gave money as opposed to just you know, writing
something on on their wall patting yourself on the back.
Now I'm thinking like, if there is a silver lining,
maybe that's it. But I would see I think a
lot of people really rejected the hollow notion like there
(06:17):
was one of my favorites. Chrystal Leiah, a comic friend
of mine, retweeted a guy who had like six pack abs,
you know, and he took a selfie of himself with
the Eiffel Tower peace symbols on his abs. It was hilarious.
So maybe maybe I've made a difference in this world. Yeah,
you might have prevented some hollow sentiments being out there.
(06:37):
I mean, yeah, I noticed that, like everyone tried to
dig up whatever picture they had when they visited France
of course essentially, yeah, and I'm not against that as
so much as just being like my thoughts and prayers
and leaving it at that. Like, but it's more though, like, hey, here,
don't forget about me exactly, don't forget about me today.
I'm a part of this too. It's actually it reminds
me a little bit of when Brandon, our producer, tried
(06:59):
to suggest and we'll get into this maybe another time. Um,
but when you try to suggest a you know, social
social media at the NFL wanted to promote our show,
but like, nothing in our show was remotely promotable. So
they suggested like doing some sort of top five lists,
and uh, and once Brandon or you know, they just
suggested any you basically just shut them down to that up.
(07:20):
I said, we're absolutely not going to do that. No.
I suggested something last week. Anthony just stared at me. Now,
I just we're not going to do that. There's no
argument here is like you have anything else. I'm like no,
He's like, all right, not doing it. Maybe next week. No,
little spoiler alert, we will. We will do some fun
lists maybe in the future, but not not today. We'll
we'll work on making a good one of our own,
a good fan base. Right now. I'll do it my way,
(07:42):
without the social my way or the highway. So we
we've had a lot of listeners that have enjoyed the podcast.
We appreciate all of you, um, but I've been most
surprised about how it's really taken off in the Rosenthal
and justin like families. Yes, our mothers, our mothers both
both coming in independently this week, which I thought was
hilario is uh. And it's the difference between the comments
were great, you start, what did your what did your
(08:03):
mom say about the podcast? Uh? She's she tweeted, she
texted me last Thursday. She would listened very quickly. Cassanova
Frankenstein exclamation, exclamation that of course if you you know
you didn't you miss the show or don't remember. That
was the name of our bond in college, which I
immediately started thinking, God, do I really want my parents
even listening to this, learning lots about my son. Animal
(08:26):
cruelty hard to take, maybe a metaphor for the NFL
fun flow between you and Anthony book bit great edition.
And then she's got some emojis with the clapping hands,
some happy faces. Overall, she she's really charmed, charmed by it.
But when I talked to her on the phone, yeah,
she she did say the animal cruelty she thought was
(08:46):
was just tough for her. See, that's really funny because
of my mom's reaction. Like, my mom, of course, has
been beaten down by my career the past, the past decade.
You make jokes about her, well it's not really her
but a character that's her dad essentially exactly, and are
all extremely offensive and like and horrible. So my mom
has been able to gotten used to it. She said.
Her comment was she loved everything. I've kind of trained
(09:08):
her just to enjoy it, but she could not stand.
She wasn't upset about the animal cruelty. She was upset
about the constant repetition of touchdown air bud that is
what that was, what her problem was that drove her crazy?
Uh and I, which I thought was very funny. And
then she said something that broke my heart. She said,
it was just nice to get to hear how you're
doing and be able to like, like hear about how
(09:30):
your life is going. I didn't know you're moving to
new apartment. Like, it's nice to be able to catch
up with you, and my heart broke. I sent her
I sent my mom a case of wine. Yes, I
mailed her case. Fine, And I promise you, Mom, I
will call you once a week every week until one
of us dies. Probably be her, just statistically that's more likely.
I don't know. I don't know last I've had Right now,
(09:54):
I'm surprised, um, surprised by your mom's reaction in general,
just that she she wasn't more negative. Well that yeah,
basically that she wasn't more negative, and like, who doesn't
enjoy air bud? That was a great bit. It shout
out to all the Uh. I don't know why I'm
doing shoutouts. It's like ten years ago, we're seeing your
(10:17):
old girl or something. But I really appreciated everyone really
jumped onto the air bud phenomenon and tweeted at at
me and Anthony are just me all week. There's some
really funny, funny pictures, some funny clips out there. It
seems to really be taking over the populace. You got
near the shoutouts. Queen with teeth can be fun. That's it.
(10:38):
Do what we cut, Let's do what we cut. That
was your old droop his brand new song basketball and
Seinfeld that he gave me a shout out last week,
speaking of shoutouts for playing his songs so many times.
(10:59):
Last weekend we got about the NFL not in trouble,
but they said that we are not allowed to play
the same song over and over again. We can only
play it once unless we have permission. So euro Drew
would be the one exception, because I think he basically
has given us permission when he said I f u
X with you, which by the way, did not get
edited at all. Lasts a little surprised about that. Um,
(11:22):
it's all about spelling. It's all about the spelling. So
let's look at what did get cut from last week.
Um uh, this is if you don't listen to the
show often, you should. And what we do is the
NFL gets to edit whatever they like from the podcast,
but I get to talk about it the next week.
Of actually what they cut out, I don't always remember
what it is, but I will tell you that's the
best of my ability. Um. Again, we I got in
(11:42):
trouble um talking about breast cancer. UM. I don't even
know what I actually said, but I talked about the
makeup ladies here at the NFL network, UM and breast cancer.
Then we talked about UM, Rex's Rex Ryan's tattoo. UM,
I know he's a tattoo of who. Let's his tattoo of?
He's got a tattoo of which player for the Bills?
(12:03):
Now on his arm was his wife in a Bill's jersey.
And I was gonna say he's got a tattoo of H.
I can't. I'm kampa and I'm not saying that right.
I'm I K, I K and I'm poly. He got
his tattoo of I K and I'm Pola. Edited for content,
which of course was edited, and I'm sure we'll be
edited this week. Really, you need to talk around it.
(12:23):
Remember the second time, I know, I know, I do
what I want. UM. After that, we had a joke
that actually a lot of people texted me. My brother
texted me to ask me what I said about what
the worst job in America is? Uh. It was someone's girlfriend. M.
I won't say who, but if you listen, you will
know who I'm talking about. Um. And then another reference
(12:45):
to I said they would stopped in his tracks as
as if he was Blank's girlfriend. Again, a very insensitive
thing to say. I said something about a major tragedy
in this country being an inside job, UM, which I
don't stand by, but I think it's funny to say. Uh.
Then another reference that we've gotten this edited out every
single week. I'm sure this week would be no different.
(13:06):
A certain player's bed full of uh. And then Greg, actually,
this is what you got bleeped. You said the word uh.
So if you think of I'm sure they got bleeped.
Right now, he said Richard Nixon's nickname Tricky Blank. Greg
said that, and it was edited. What is this password?
Or I'm trying to talk around it. I'm trying to
get into this. You're you've got the potty mouth. I'm
(13:27):
just trying to clean it up. And that was what
we cut everybody. Anymother want to rap now tell I'm
gonna shack for young enough cash out. That was mac Miller,
mac Miller, Pittsburgh's second favorite son. All right, Anthony brought
me to a mac Miller show. That's right, it's pretty exciting.
It was a great time. Sat in the back or
stood in the back, fell old. Yeah, and then we
got to go open the front like champions. They just
(13:49):
camp and gave us passes. You know why, for no
reason whatsoever. Let's get in the headlines, greg. The NFL
apologized this week for not considering color blind folk like
myself when they rolled out color rush jerseys. Now, this
is all the way back last Thursday night. You might
(14:09):
remember the Bills and the Jets played on Thursday Night
football the NFL. Uh. It was very bright. It was
bright green, bright red. It was on the green field.
And immediately when this happened, I started watching the game.
I I talked to my friend Chris Westley right next
to me, who's on the Around the NFL podcast, and
I said, click, can you are these uniforms giving you?
(14:31):
Can you tell the difference between the Bills and the
Jets right now? And he looked at me like I
was absolutely crazy, because like it looks like there's twenty
two guys on the same team, and so I tweeted
out something about it very quickly, and the color blind
people of America stood up and they were heard up.
You know, those was color blind air Bud touch, which
(14:53):
is another reason why air Bud would never make it
in this league. UM. I thought it was funny. I
saw your tweet and you were kind of like the
on the four of reporting on this story as a
color blind person. I myself, I'm not color blind. UM,
although I do wear glasses sometimes when I drive a night,
I don't want to come off I don't want to
seem like I'm like, you know, a superior human being. UM,
I'm just like everybody else. I put my pants on
(15:14):
one leg at a time. But I thought it was
very funny because it reminded me of Greg being color
blind in college. Quick story Greg. For the three years
that we lived together in houses after the dorms, Greg
had green carpet in his room and every single place
you had like a dark green carpet. And you also
owned one bathing suit and it was a red bathing
suit any time because anytime we would go swimming, we
(15:36):
would go tubing, we would do anything that needed a
bathing suit. We'd all be all right, you guys ready
to go, let's leave in noon. And we'd be like,
all right, we're all waiting. We're like, where's Greg. Where's Greg?
And we always go into your room and you would
be just wandering around your room like in a day's
looking for your red bathing suit, which you could not see,
and it would be right in front of me. Every
single time. You just sat on your floor and we
would have to find your bathing suit. I don't know
why you didn't get a different colored carpet, a different
(15:58):
colored bathing suit. But but without me as your friend,
you never would have gone swimming in college. First of all,
this is a this is a made up story. I
don't think this is true. This is how many how
can I make that up? How many times do you
go swimming in college? Okay, we went to being maybe
a couple of times out in Louisiana. Yeah, we go
to the Levy and you want you want to be
(16:18):
Maybe it was short. I don't believe that. Though this
seems like something you made up, made up on your own,
it's well it does you know, break up? Point up
that the color blind people, you know, people forget about
you know, when you're talking about different diseases, disabilities. Not
a lot of people have a lot of sympathy for
the color blind. But that example right there, I think
there's the kind of obstacles we have. I think there
(16:38):
should be allowed to be pilots. I think only I
think only color on people should be allowed flight plans.
One thing about music when here you're feeling no pain
like folks controls your brain on no bed And that's
say man. We read for that two soaks is headed back.
That was dead Friends. It was a lot of dead
friends we played. We played a lot of that. That
(17:00):
was one of the best verses ever. Though it's a song,
it's a great song. Here thanks Brandon. Uh, you know,
Anthony did a we we should get a video in here,
at least just the show. We don't need to take
the whole thing, but just the show, the moves Anthony's
doing between each I've got one dance headline and knocking
out of the park. Cam Newton's got a lot of dances.
(17:21):
He combines him loved this Cam Newton dance controversy. He's
he's got the dad. He likes the dab on them folks,
I don't even know where that came from. He I
don't even think really know where it came from. It
sounded like maybe a sixteen year old brother said he
would really like Cam Newton to kind of throw that
into the mix when he scored his touchdown and when
(17:41):
he did against Tennessee to put the game away last week.
You know, the Titans player, especially Avery Williamson, was not
happy that Cam was doing about a ten second you know,
multi pronged dance. Every Williamson comes over yells at him
a little bit, and then Cam in response, instead of
like yelling back, is aggressively starts to send dance moves
(18:02):
like it's a rap, like a dance battle right back
at Avery Williamson. It was amazing. It was amazing. Like,
Kim Newton is now my favorite non stealer in the league.
And I do not like rooting for anyone else except
from Steelers, but Kim is awesome for this. Anyone who's
like saying he shouldn't be doing it, I think it's
a first. I think it's like borderline racist and totally wrong.
Like someone who was the guy who was like, oh,
(18:23):
he's not like a he's not a diva wide receiver.
He shouldn't be doing that. Like it's okay for wide
receivers to dance running backs, but not a quarterback. If
you're if every single player on the field, the whole
entire other team is trying to kill you, and then
you do that when you get in the end zone,
you're putting the biggest target on yourself. I think it's
the coolest thing you can possibly do. He is hardcore book.
You know who loves it? Fans When I was a kid,
(18:46):
I mean, you love Dion Sanders dancing. Teammates love it.
Cam Newton had, you know, a great point, he said,
I'm a firm believer. If you don't like me to
do it, then don't let me in in the end zone. Man,
exactly get Maddie scored on. You don't get Maddie's dancing.
So loves dancing. It's in the Bible. The Bible loves
Cam Newton. Uh. I was most taken aback by the
(19:06):
letter that the Charlotte Observer printed from an angry Panthers
fan who is like a local CEO of a company.
I believe she has season tickets and and this to me,
the fact that they printed. It was objectionable. I think
that the paper put it in at all. Absolutely, It's
like it's like, this is Nashville, not the town from Footloose.
(19:30):
Here's the I'm gonna read. I'm gonna read my favorite
parts of this letter. Um. Because of where we sat,
we had a close up view of your conduct in
the fourth quarter. The chest puffs, the pelvic thrusts, the
arrogant struts, and the in your face taunting of both
the Titans players and fans. We saw it all skipped down.
My daughter sends the change immediately and started asking questions.
(19:51):
Won't he get in trouble for doing that? Is he
trying to make people mad? Do you think he knows?
He looks like a spoiled brat. I didn't have great
answers for her, and honestly, in an effort to minimize
your negative impact and what was otherwise a really fun day,
I re erected her attention to the cheerleaders and mascot.
Is that is that what your coaching mentors modeled for you,
Mr Newton? This woman sounds like a sounds like a
(20:14):
damn Simpsons character. Doesn't seem like she said that you
have to be insane to write this letter to be
that upset. You don't understand, I'll explained to your kids.
Did he scored a touchdown and celebrated what a moron
stared at dancing I've loved I mean, yeah, almost had
me in tears there, Anthony Jesly showing off his acting chops.
That was good stuff. Uh. No, the wife they the
(20:41):
woman's and hysterical, and you're gonna have a lot harder
things to explain if you're having the harder times with that.
And then your answer to uh, to the problems. Oh,
let's go look at the women, go point, go look
at the women and skimpy outfits getting paid below minimum wage?
Uh to dance around? That's that's a better that's a
(21:02):
better idea. Yeah. Trying to figure out why the Titans
of a mascot, maybe that should be the question. So
Mike mclarkey, the coach of the Titans, UH, had a
comment on it after the game. This is really I
think what what kicks started the whole thing? And I
know there was a whole lot of people frustrated by it.
You know that's uh a little rubbing in your face
(21:24):
type of deal, which there's a little code of ethics
in the NFL and uh, not a good move. You know,
he's just but I am proud of him. I'm proud
of what he did. Just stood up for our team.
What code of ethics? No dancing code of ethics. It
doesn't make any sense at all. It was a joyful celebration.
Keep him out of the end zone if you don't
(21:45):
want him dancing. Yeah. I want to get too deep
into this, but it's a couple of days after a
pretty big tragedy and people just treating this like it's
like people take football so seriously. I think that's one
of the reasons why I love my job and that
I've had a good you know, be with my career
and all that. It's because, like because I just enjoy it.
Because it's football. That's the whole point of it. It's fun.
It's sports. Like I never take it that seriously. Yeah,
(22:08):
how fun. I think you should do a dance every
single time they do anything. Like if you ever watched right,
have you ever seen like Grambling versus Southern Every year
it's the best game of the year because no matter
what happened, someone's dancing. Someone's gonna dance. And I think
that's how the NFL should be. It's on NBC every
year too. Everyone exactly now they're great dance on NBC.
And this is what people loved. It was the Drew
(22:30):
Stanton celebration, which I also loved. You know, I mean
that was like one of the most amazing things ever.
When when the backup quarterback on the on the Cardinals.
If you didn't see, I'm sure you did. Uh you know,
it does his like super white guy like Dan. Like
immediately Emma got my wife texted me and was just like,
oh my god, that was the funniest thing I've ever seen.
It was great. It was great, It was hilarious. It
was It was like the opposite of Cam Newton's dance.
(22:52):
You know, one guy's got rhythm, one guy doesn't. I'll
let you guys figure out who's who. People love the
Drew Stanton dance. The same people who got mad about
about Cam Newton dancing loved your standing And I think
I think the answer is racism. Wow, league wide not
afraid to tackle the serious subjects. I really enjoyed. I
thought you would enjoy this too, because you're you're kind
of a wrestling I don't know if you're a wrestling fan,
(23:14):
but a little bit like like the whole the whole
mindset or strategy behind wrestling a little I like the
I like kind of like the bad guy wrestlers, you know,
like ravishing Rick Rude was like a huge influence on
me as a as a person. He's not even making
a joke that that's that's totally true. Uh. And Carson Palmer,
who is usually the good guy, kind of did a
little bit of a heel turn, which I loved when
(23:36):
when the wrestlers turned bad in Seattle and he does
the big suck it to the crowd, which you just
do not expect from Carson Bobber. That was outstanding. It
was like a half a suck and it wasn't like
the full extra cross. It was kind of like a
like a hip thrust, which I like, like he kind
of knew he would get in trouble, but he still
had to do it, which I appreciated from him. I
think that was great. Like what would what would your
(23:57):
what would your celebration be? You know, I mean, if
you're gonna have a celebration for us, what would your
what would your football celebration be? Well, I don't know
if you know, but I'm an expert on this because
I was a guest. I was one of the analysts
on the top ten touchdown celebrations ever on and that
was that's the thing to show. I talked about Steve
Smith's celebration. Uh, every celebration has been done, and there's
(24:19):
so many rules. It's really hard to think of something
that hasn't been done, especially with the ball and everything.
But one thing that's never been done with I think
would be really fun. In this scenario, I'm a hundred
and thirty five pounds, right, I'm a five ft five
pound football players, so I'm not gonna get any ends
on too often. I'm gonna, you know, just used by both.
I would take the ball and I would just run
over to the other sideline and throw the ball as
(24:40):
hard as I could at some other player on the team. Like,
no one's ever done that, but it would be great.
This is true. You get a penalty, but so not
the person who was like defending you or try to
tackle you, just running like a random Now, like if
I didn't like Drew Stanton, maybe I would just go
over to someone that that I think would be funny
to just throw the ball right at him. That would be.
That would be good. I would approve if you did that.
I would appreach that. My my move would be kind
(25:03):
of like the throats last gesture, you know what I mean,
Like with the thumb, like they got banned only across
my crotch, you know what I mean, Like I don't
even need my junk to be a bigger man than you.
You know what I mean, Like take my junk away,
cut it off and I'll still like. That would be.
That's how good I am. Heaven, this world. It is
a pistol in the promise, a fistful of Dallas, a
(25:23):
list full of promise, a dressing like the pat from
the ball is the creo that was little Wayne. Wayne.
Yeah we can't. We can't play the same song twice,
but we can still play all the Little Wayne. That's
when for years one of my favorite ones, Ben Roethlisberger,
your boy came back in the lineup. Maybe there is
(25:45):
no Rosenthal and jessel Nick vanity project curse never gets old.
Maybe there is no curse because Landry Jones got hurt
and then incomes Ben Ratha's burger saves the day has
a great game against the Browns, and Antonio Brown, who
(26:05):
had another unbelievable performance, did what I think was the
best celebration of the entire year, even topping Cam Newton
doing a front flip into the end zone. It was
amazing because he literally like flipped into the end zone,
you know what I mean, Like he was his momentum.
If he just stopped mid flip, he wouldn't have been
in the end zone. Like it was the most perfect,
like video game play I've ever seen. I loved. I
thought was the coolest flip ever. I think it was
(26:28):
one of the best celebrations of all time because it
was part of the play he was he was celebrating
before he even hit the end zone. Like he combined
the celebration with the play with like unbelievable athleticism and
and it got me thinking, Like Antonio Brown right now,
this is more of a point you know, I probably
would make on the other podcasts, and you don't care
(26:48):
at all about my football opinions. But Antonio Brown right now,
the last year and a half, he's had about as
good a year and a half as any receiver I've seen.
And and people don't think of Antonio Brown like in
that way that he has a chance and right now
to me, he is playing like an all time great
and I think the greatest Steelers receiver I've ever seen.
(27:11):
That's very possible. I think that a couple of things here.
I think of Roethlisberger isn't getting injured. I think Antonio
Brown is in the m v P account conversation, he's
that he's that could record breaking one of the best
Doers wide receivers. I also think of Ben telling him
not to do flips anymore. I I agree because watching it,
I was like, I can't believe he didn't tear everything
(27:31):
that ends with the cel Like I would think you
would destroy yourself by doing that kind of a flip
in uh in mid sprints. It's been really to be
giving like safety advice. Well exactly, well Ben with Ben thing,
with the Ben thing, you can't tell someone not to
do a backflip unless you yourself can do a backflip,
you know what I mean? Like, that's the only that's
the criteria for being able to tell someone at and
(27:51):
I'll tell you this, We're gonna talk about best Steelers
wide receivers. Ever, Brown still is behind one man, and
that is my favorite Stewers player of all time. Hines Ward.
Hines Ward. I may not have made the plays the
Brown can make, but hines Ward broke linebacker's jaws, was
(28:12):
blocked like he was the most badass wide receiver ever,
the toughest dude of all time. I love hines Ward.
So it's gonna take a little while before I I
get that browns the Brown jersey. No, that that makes sense.
Any Ward had a longer run, He's, uh, you know,
gonna have a potential Hall of Fame career. Lock, I
guess what I'm even talking. He's definitely a Hall of famer.
(28:34):
The Pittsburgh fan, though, always gets into this and I
and I get it. It's like you guys kind of
consider you to like, hey, we're Steel City. It's like
we like that rugged defense, like you loved like Jerome Bettis.
You know you love like you love hines Ward more
than Antonio Brown, who does like the fancy don't don't
fancy between my children. I just think the Brown's got
a little ways to go before. It's like with my parents,
(28:55):
I'm the oldest to five, I'm I'm the clear favorite.
But they would never say that you know what I'm
They would never say that loud hinds Ward, I know,
has uh somehow gotten into your life recently, which is
a pick thrill for you. He funds like he's hiding
into my bed. You know. I got an email the
other day and this is like, this is like part
of the world that the podcast has been opening up
(29:16):
to me, that Hinds Word is starting a podcast. And
the emails like would Anthony I want to be his
first guest? And I was like, of course, hinds what
is my favorite player? I'm not even with that podcast
is going to be. I can't believe he's like has
the balls to have me on as his first guest.
It seems to like it could be like an already
lang Joe Buck situation ruined Joe Buck's life. But and
I haven't heard back since I said, of course I
(29:37):
will do this, So we'll see, We'll see what happens.
But just to get to meet hines Ward again. I
shook his hand once outside of a giant eagle, but
but just to meet him, Aganna would be would be
a thrill, That would be amazing. That would be one
of those things that if you had told a twenty
year old Anthony jessel Nick that hinds Word will somehow
start like a radio like program that you listen to
on your iPod and that he would want you to
(30:00):
be his first guest. Is a is a pretty ridiculous thing.
Now that's said, I wonder like who is thinking of
connecting you with him? Like? Is it Hines himself? Like
is it? Do they know what your comedy? Like? What? Guy?
This is a surprising podcast choice for hinds Word, considering
the milk toast analysis he usually gives up an NBC Sure.
I think that people are just excited, like to find
(30:20):
a way to get me out of doing this podcast.
You follow from that skunk in the saying that it's
crunky in the dungeon. He goes on and on and
on like that, going down to the beats and the
house in the left that was outcast one of my
favorite songs at l Who do You? Who? Do you
want to Connor Grace's favorite songs right there? Yeah, big
(30:45):
week for Brett five this week, Let's be honest. Uh,
Peyton Manning broke his career passing yardage records, But it
could not have gone any better for Brett Fire a
disastrous game for Peyton Anning, and then Brett Farve had
a little comment about it, a video that he posted
on the internet. Payden, I'm in a tree stand Yeah,
(31:10):
you've interrupted me again anyway, and I'm very happy for you, congrats,
but now you have to take him all away. Good
luck man the best. I love it so much. It's
totally first of all here, he couldn't be less happy
for Peyton Manning doing any of this. Um and he's
(31:33):
and he's like, he's in a tree. He's clearly still
hiding from his wife. It's been years, it's been years
since he texted anyone anything. But he's still in the forest,
like the like the like the damn Blair witch hiding
from his wife, recording messages. It is. It is a
hilarious video. I love whenever they have someone congratulating someone
for breaking their own record. It couldn't be less since here,
(31:54):
why do you do it? I'd rather have it like
cut breath, far of being like he which would be
a totally natural response, especially from Brett Farve, who we
know cares so much about the individual records and if
he somehow knew the situation that Peyton Manning was in
at the moment that he Peyton Manning only needed three
(32:15):
yards to break the record. Before he did that, he
threw an interception. Then he did break the record, they
stopped the game for a second. The very next play
was a third down where it was an incompletion, so
they punted. Then he throws three more interceptions. The worst
day of Peyton Manning's career completely ruined everything. And then
at the end of this video, Brett five sticks that
in a little bit. Oh, now you gotta take them
(32:35):
all the way. Yeah, he knows they're not taking them
all the way. He's like, yeah, trying to take them
all the way, just like I did with that last
broken Vikings tagment. It's my favorite congrats, like instance your
congrats since like dan Marina would do them, and dan
Marina was like gritted teeth, like they would show him
the JumboTron and he said, he's clearly furious. They had
to do ten takes to get him through it, and
he's just like he's so mad that people still play football.
(32:58):
After dam Marina retired, were sitting in him when they
went home, and I'm sitting them, I'm defending them with
many of your wraps whenever I'm o't fending him back
when with my raculous side. That was paramaneh one of
sound bombing burnt uh. Andy Dalton has been in the
news this week. He struggled on Monday Night football worst
(33:21):
game of the year against the Texans, first loss for
the Bengals. They're back in the spotlight this week against Arizona,
but and Andy is getting a lot of attention. And
it really all started with J. J. Watt from the
Texans his comments after the game, our goal was to
come out here and make the red rifle looked like
a red rotter baby gun. That wow, it couldn't feel
(33:44):
like a less of an insult. That that's ESPN's Lisasaulters, uh,
you know, really giving giving him the wow. And that
was It was such a stage, just almost an annoying
moment from J. J. Watt. And I think the country
was ready to turn on J. J. Watt for a
couple of minutes, but Andy Dalton didn't let it happen
(34:04):
and disappointed in him too. I mean for the integrity
of this game. You know, I have a lot of
respect for him. He played, He's a really good player
and so there's a lot of a lot of kids
and a lot of people that look up to him
and for him to make comments like that, and he's
just showing that, you know, yeah, that's acceptable to to
do that kind of stuff and say that kind of stuff.
And what are you doing. You're you're an NFL quarterback.
(34:27):
You can't act like that. You're supposed to be like
an eagle, Like I can do anything. I could fly
if I wanted to, I'm gonna win every game. Talking
about the integrity of the game by going from the
red rifle to be begun. That's you couldn't handle it.
You had to speak out on the matter. What a loser.
He imagine if you own an Andy Dalton jersey, like
(34:47):
right now, you have to get rid of it. You
have to just give it. I don't care who you
get Jeo Bernard, like getting old Ikey Woods. It doesn't
make a difference. Like that is an embarrassment. Don't even
just they should like everyone instance, then I should drop
the Dalton jersey's off and they should be given to
grandmother's because that's the kind of people who talk like
you know who you know who? You know you can
give it to that is that woman who wrote the
(35:09):
letter in Caroline see talking about integrity the game, no
dancing and no no, no making slightly different puns about
someone's nickname. It's great because it was such a it
was such a mild insult. And just like imagine if
imagine if you were in high school and someone made
that lame of a response and then that and that
(35:30):
was your response. Sorry, like we gotta we gotta talk
about the integrity, like let's let's be real men around
here want to practically read that off of his hand.
Andy Welton, though, made it worse on Wednesday, like as
if he couldn't. I didn't think he could make it
possibly worse, but on web down and when Wednesday, no,
(35:50):
I would have respected him doubly down actually more. When
he talked about it on Wednesday, he realized, um, it
had become a story, and he said what I did
was I responded to what someone had said, and on
my part, I shouldn't have reacted without hearing my comments
were unwarranted and I'm moving on. His comments were unwarranted.
Wait are you talking to his brandon? I did not
(36:13):
realize my mic was on. All right, that's our producer Brandon. Sorry,
Now let's leave it in there, like see Andy Dalton
of producers. Let's go back. This is great branded, We're
we're gonna truck forward. Now let's just go through. Let's
just go way through this, just going through it. I mean,
do you want to apologize? Do you want to talk
about the integrity of the podcast? All right, Uh, then
(36:34):
let's move on. I'm gonna be. I'm gonna be. That
was the Proclaimers. Shockingly enough, that was a song that
was played at Greg's wedding. I'm not joking. We were
all into it. Though, we're all into it. This is
this is one of my favorite stories, kind of our
(36:56):
our story of the week about Ed Hart Greg Hardy, sorry,
h Ed Hardy. Greg Hardy confused the two because I
have owned so many clothes made by both of them.
Um uh Greg Hardy was late for work this past week.
The headline was Greg Hardy tardy, which made me furious. Um.
And and they say he didn't sleep in, he was
late to practice. He did not sleep in, And I
(37:17):
know we didn't sleep in. Uh. If he's sleeping on
Greg Hardy's bed unless unless he's used in a new product. Uh.
Andy Dalton's pillawfol tears. That was That was pavement. I'm
(37:46):
so mad right now. Well, I thought we should have
an extra lung. Let's to bring you back to, uh,
what it was like to be driving the past country
those memories. This is what happens when I let you
choose the music. Yeah, I thought we had more wraps,
but I guess we're We're into the pavement portion of
the show. Edited to keep your interest. That was yo
(38:18):
yo ma, Yo yo ma. Last story the week, Charlie
Sheen announced on The Today Show he is HIV positive,
and I just I thought of the roast that you
did with Charlie. It was kind of very classic Charlie
Sheen way. What he wasn't doing it to spread awareness.
He wasn't doing it too, you know, like help people
(38:40):
accept the disease. He was doing it so people would
stop blackmailing him, because he often has to tell prostitutes
that he is HIV positive and then pay them extra
to not use a condom. And he has to pay
them extra money to not tell people that. So he said,
you know what, let me save some money, go on
the Today's Show and tell people of HIV, which it
makes me love him even more. Um he he was,
he was. I got to meet him once doing the roast.
(39:02):
My favorite story about him is that he cleaned up
really well for the roast. He like he kind of
looked like he was in shape, like he wasn't doing
any drugs. And I was like, Oh, Charlie's on the wagon.
That's good. Good for him. And I meet him at
a party the night before the roast and at his
manager's house and he's talking to me and he's holding
what looks like a beer but looks like a non
alcoholic beer. It's got like a weird label. I'm like, Charlie,
that's what are you? What are you drinking right now?
And he's like, Oh, this is a marijuana infused beer
(39:24):
I got from Amsterdam. And I'm like, what is that.
He's like, it's a beer that's like a high in
alcoholic content and has THHC in it. He's like, you
want one? And I said, Charlie, I've got to do
a roast Tomorrow's just like you. That's like him being
on the wagon is just just sticking to marijuana and
infused beer, which is why he's one of the greatest
(39:45):
actors of this generation sounds like an amazing product. Though, yeah,
it sounds great, sounds great. I don't I don't need
to mix them, you know what I mean? I can.
I can have a beer in one hand and marijuana
the other, especially not the night before the roast. Yeah,
day off, make money, no matter what the what? Yes,
(40:15):
remind me who that is. I'm sad to say it's
Gang Star, who's one of the greatest rap duos ever,
but released one of the worst rap songs ever and
then put it on their Greatest Hits too. That was
on the Greatest Hits, So you listen to that song
a lot in college just because it was so bad. Hilarious. Greg,
who is the Listener of the Week Listener of the
(40:37):
Week this week is one of I mean, it couldn't
possibly be more special, touched it's what's Airbud himself? No
explain explain the Airbud. It's a dog. Airbud is a dog.
But we tweeted out some Airbud or some people were
(40:58):
tweeting out some air Bud like comments after the podcast.
I think I made a joke, Like you know, this
podcast has some Rex Ryan talk, et cetera, and and
too much Airbud, too much Airbud and Airbud Sorry, Mom,
I love you, I don't. Air Bud has a Twitter account,
(41:21):
It's verified, and he tweeted at us. He tweeted at
some of our listeners, and air Bud said what I
believe to be true, which is that you can never
have too much Airbud. Um. First of all, you're the
one who tweeted that we talked about too much Airbud.
So what do you mean? You know it's true, you know,
to people sometimes I don't know if you know this,
but for comedic effect, maybe throw a little sarcasm in,
(41:41):
you know, I didn't really think there's too much Airbud,
but it just kind of like gets the people thinking
about Airbud. You've got so many arrows in your quiver,
you can do it. All. Um, all right, I'll accept
air Bud as our listener of the week. Um, rotten hell,
air But oh rotten hell, what does that even mean? Well?
It it's kind of amazing though. Not only is he
(42:01):
a dog that um you know, get basketballs and other
products thrown off his head, uh, and managed to survive
all those concussions and and and he's dead. I believe
the original heir. But but he's able to run a
Twitter account and he only has two thousand followers. Yeah,
follow air Bud people, you're gonna get some great hilarity,
(42:23):
like like the like the very serious r I P
tweet about the dog killed during edited because Mrs Rosenthal
doesn't like that kind of talk. A moment of silence
(42:44):
a bud Anthony wanted to. Anthony wanted to have a contest.
Brandon I nixed this where we had a moment. It
wasn't even necessarily to this. It was to some potential
other stories that were out there this week that we
had a on test of how longer a moment of
silence could be, like whether we could do it for
four minutes absolute four seconds? You know, I think it
(43:09):
would have been I think it would have been really solemn.
I also wanna give some credit to Nate W nineteen
because each week we do uh, we do mention one
of our iTunes commenters that writes a comment that we
like because we want to encourage you to comment, give
it five stars, subscribe, tell your friends about it. That's
how we're gonna make this thing get two episodes. Six
(43:31):
h Nate said, touchdown air bud question, you know, asking
touchdown air Bud? No touchdown our j v P. My
thoughts and prayers go out to anyone who doesn't find
this great pot. It's super funny and it's great report
spelled her poor hung But the only downside they're gonna
get fired. Yep, like we said, job, I think I
think that's gonna happen. Ask Anthony this week? Why do
(43:53):
you dress Anthony like Hank Moody? And for the listeners
who don't know Hank Moody, the star character of Californication, Yes,
played by the Great David dicovany Um, why do I
dress like Hank Moody? That means why do I dress
so cool? Right now I'm wearing a leather jacket. You
couldn't have You couldn't have been more addressed for this. Yeah,
I I like. I like to wear what I call uniform.
(44:15):
I have black T shirts, I have great T shirts.
I've got a couple of white ones. I've got one
pair of jeans and one leather jacket and I wear
them all the time. Sometimes a hoodie if I get
a little chili, and I sometimes will make fun of
me for that, and I just laugh right in their
face because I've earned the right to never think about
what I wear. I just put on whatever, and you
know what, you know what I look great? Is that
(44:37):
why you have only one pair of jeans? Could that be?
Don't That's how bed bugs work, just asking like I
bought a new pair of jeans last week, I went
into a store. I bought it a new pair of
jes that I want these jeans, bought them, said I'm
gonna wear them out, and then gave them my old
jeans to throw away. They were completely confused, And now
(44:59):
that store is probably the Riddle Bucks Touch Drang. Hot
Take the Week is from NFL Networks Mark Kriegel. Big
fan of Mark Creel's books. You should check him out.
That Joe namath One especially not not as much of
a fan of this tweet to Giants lose Romo back
(45:21):
if only the media critic Dez Bryant hadn't dropped the
crucial first down whole different season hashtag gaboys. First of all,
it's a little hard to understand even what he's saying.
But what he's saying is Dez Bryant blew their game
against the Buccaneers on Sunday. That's when he tweeted it out.
It sounds like because he it sounds like he tweets
using it's a problem with a hundred forty characters. Some people,
(45:45):
maybe the older generation in general, you know, it's hard
to adapt maybe to it. But he's basically saying, like
des Briant blew this game. They could be in the mix.
But what we really wanted to get out there is
that it was the media critic line because does Bryant
last week had this big dust up where he was
upset with one reporter. I don't know what did you
hear about this? Did you see it? They're always upset
with reporters. They like their job. It's like do everyone
(46:08):
you talk about players? Players get mad and that's football
one on one. And there's this, you know, there's this
sort of gotcha video where Dez Bryant is screaming and
yelling at his PR director to fix the situation, like
why don't you fix this? Rich just getting really really
mad and it just annoys because anytime and Dez Bryant,
I have no idea what the problem he had with
this particular reporter was. He thought what he was doing
(46:30):
was not professional, But any time any athlete even lightly gets,
you know, criticizes the media, like the sports media all
bows up together and just like goes after him, like,
how dare you criticize like what what we've done? Like
as if des Bryant couldn't have a problem with some
reporter when literally, guy guys like Mark Kriegel and myself,
(46:54):
our job all day is to essentially criticize and evaluate
these eyes who are incredible at their careers and be like, ah,
that this is Andy Dalton, like he's only the seventh
best quarterback in the world this week, and like when
whenever they dare to even have one little bit of criticism,
it reminded me. Actually, Jesse Eisenberg wrote something and then
(47:15):
New Yorker did you see that where he's kind of
taking a piss on film critics in general, like making
fun of film critics, and like every single one of
them lined up, and just like, how dare Jesse Eisenberg
do this? Like it's such such tropes that they're trotting
out there when literally their job is to be critics
and they can't and you can't take any criticism. So
that's a pet peeve of mine. That's just that's almost
(47:37):
that's at like it's almost like sports journalists or jealous
of athletes in which they could switch lives. But I'll
tell you who would never I'll tell you who would
never talk trash on the media. Touch job. He just
wouldn't do it. He just wouldn't do it. Let's talk
let's talk picks this week last week in two books,
before we did movies. Let's telly, let's do some TV shows.
(47:58):
Greg would give us a give us one. Are two
TV shows that people should be Why why don't you
stre I want to. I feel like you have better ones.
I do have better ones. Um first, I'm gonna say Fargo.
If you guys are not watching Fargo, Season one was amazing.
Season two is just as good. Hopefully it gets better.
I love when they do a mini series type thing,
because anyone can die. You know. It's only ten episodes
and a great new show on Netflix, Azizon Zaries, Master
(48:20):
of None and I rarely watched other comedy, but I've
been watching a couple episodes of this and it is great.
A Zes is fantastic. It's a really, really smart and
really well done show. Everyone should check it out. Wow. Alright,
that was so genuine. Yeah, how about how about you
edited to save Greg's marriage? I touched on seriously, we're
(48:43):
cutting all that out. That was part of my wedding speech.
A variety of reasons, most of which I was pointless.
Do you have any do you have any TVs? Why
I'm watching Silicon Valley now, And that's why I said
it's not it's good a um a pick because it's
not new, But who cares. There's a lot of people
out there that have have never watched it. You should
go back. I'm just finishing up it now. It cracks
(49:05):
me up so much. It's one of my favorite shows
of the last five years of any genre. Your boy
kummel h everything he does is hilarious, amazing. You know
who's like the sneaky star just like so hilarious in
that show is Zach Woods. Friends with every single person
(49:25):
on that show. They're all great. Thomas middle Ditch is underrated. Yes,
now he's great too. Most shows I really don't like.
I just laughed, you know, I watched it to laugh
or it's well written or whatever, and like I don't
genuinely get like invested in what happens. But this show
for whatever reason. It's like I really am rooting for
them in a in an almost childlike way. It's great show.
(49:47):
They're they're shooting season three right now, and I hear
I hear nothing but great things. They're very excited about it.
So when season three comes out after Game of Thrones,
you're gonna be psyched. Everybody catch up before that happens.
That was TV picks, that was your old Drew do,
(50:10):
my little Hank Moody dance and my Hank Moody clothes.
You should all dress like Hank Moody. Hank Moody dresses
like me. Let's get into a new segment I've come
up with. We've yet to repeat a final segment. I've
got a new one that I come up with called
this is America. Greg's gonna make some picks, and I'm
gonna explain to him, this is America. If you if
you like the crunker Funky Fucky Fresh by the makers
(50:34):
of that, here we go. I believe there's an end
in Funky Greig. I I'm just gonna make picks because
I don't really know where you're going here with this segment,
because this is obviously America. Although we have a lot
of overseas listeners, I'm gonna give everyone out there a
great tip. The Broncos are somehow underdogs this week against
Chicago because they have brock Os while they're starting Chicago's
(50:56):
playing a little better. That's ridiculous. Denver has one of
the great ist defenses of all time that I've seen
coming off a couple of bad games, but they're gonna
win this game. Broncos over the Bears are kidding me.
You're saying Broncos over Bears. Let me tell you something, Greg,
The world is my oyster, and my country is the pearl.
This is America. Christopher Columbus found here children pledge allegiance
(51:19):
to our flag because we make them My country. Tis
of the sweet land of Liberty, Stars and stripes, USA
Number one. Forever Bears over Broncos. Greg, this is America.
Do you have a Do you have a second one?
My second pick this week, also in America in the
Dome in Georgia, the Indianapolis Colts are gonna go into
(51:39):
Atlanta and they're gonna romp over the Atlanta Falcons haven't
been playing well this season Indianapolis overall, but I think
they turned a corner. Even though they lost Andrew Luck.
I think they played their best game of the season
a couple of weeks ago. They're gonna win this game
in Atlanta. You're picking the Colts over the Falcons. That's right.
Let me tell you something, Greg, into the Free Home
(52:00):
with the Brave. We have our own money called dollars
and cents. Here. We don't vote for kings and queens.
We vote for presidents, governors and city councilman. Our national
anthem is the national anthem. Can't be any more clear
than that, Falcons over Colts. This is America. Do uh sure? Yeah.
I'm not sure what that had to do with the game,
(52:21):
But the Arizona Cardinals this week are gonna put a
herding on Andy Dalton after his performance on the press conference.
I don't think he's gonna be able to show his
face in the locker room. His teammates aren't gonna trust him,
and Carson Palmer is gonna be eager to stick it
to Mike Brown, his former boss, the owner of the Bengals,
(52:42):
who he wants he threaten. You remember this, he wants
threatened to quit football. Carson Palmer if the Bengals didn't
get rid of him, and they didn't. Now he's gonna
beat him. So you're saying Cards over BEng Cardinals over Bengals.
I want to be clear here, fifty States baby plus
to Rico kind of maybe the Virgin Islands. In places
like that, the suddenly sets on this empire for a
(53:05):
couple of hours of night. We've got the Grand Canyon
and the Rocky Mountains and the rest of the world
can eat it. Bengals over Cards. This is America. Fourth. Yeah,
I mean your reasoning was pretty strong on that one.
But I'm gonna continue forth and I'm gonna pick the
(53:27):
Patriots on Monday Night. Not really going out on a
live there, but I think the Bills are gonna be
good in this game. I think it's gonna be a
tough game for the Patriots. Not you know, they don't
have Julian Edelman. You'll be one of the best Monday
Night games of the entire season. But in the end,
another late drive by Tom Brady and they went at
home in a close one over the Buffalo Bills. Actually,
we agree, you're picking the Bills over the Pats. Now
(53:48):
I'm taking the Patriots over the Bills. Oh, my God, Greg,
give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning
to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teaming shore.
Send these, the homeless tempest tossed to I lift my
lamp beside the golden door builds over Pats. This is
America touched, and that was this is America. I think
(54:11):
we're gonna be seeing more of that. I'm feeling. I'm
feeling the red, right and blue. I'm feeling like Captain
America over here. Somebody has to. Somebody has to because
the NFL certainly isn't patriotic enough for me. Have you
went to hospital net that was your old druke? My boy? Um, alright, kids, listen.
(54:35):
Next week is Thanksgiving, so we are taking the week off.
I'm gonna be out of town. Greg of course will
be here because he's got nothing better to do. But
I have a family who loves me, and I'm gonna
go travel to Pittsburgh to eat turkey with them. Uh,
you've spent the last two Thanksgivings with me. Actually, that's true.
Give me a break, and I'm here because that's where
my family is. We're gonna speaking to your family and
(54:55):
Greg we haven't talked about them all the whole episode.
How are my god children? How are your son and
daughter Ellison Walker, Well, you know my family couldn't help.
But notice every time you asked me at the end
of the show about my kids, it's like I never
