Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Anthony, you don't have any children, but I consider the
Rosenthal and jessel Nick Vanity Project your child. We're back
here for episode six, mother Child, tell your children not
to walk my way? Alright. Uh, we taped that open

(00:29):
a little earlier. It's in a good happy food. I'm
not exactly sure where to go to start this because
this is a different sort of podcast. Um, here's what happened.
We taped episode six of The Rosenthal and jessel Nick
Vanity Project v r j V and uh, we are

(00:50):
not allowed to air any of it. Um. Sometimes we
get to edit things here. You know, I've been very
clear that I can say whatever I want and do
whatever I want, and the NFL can edit afterwards, and
I'm fine with as long as I help people. Um,
what got taken out the next week. This is the
first time, uh, six episodes in that they just told
us we can't hear any of it. Um, and we
can't even really tell you why. But I'm not certainly

(01:13):
not apologizing to the NFL or to the network, but
I will apologize to the viewers. I thought we kind
of you know, had a had a good way in
and out of these different subjects this week and apparently
we went overboard according to UH the league. Yes it
was not. It wasn't really up for much of a debate. Um,

(01:33):
And I I said, I wanted to come back on
and just talked to the listeners really quickly about why
there's no uh Rosen, Doll and Jessel in a commanity
projectp uh this week. We will have been back next
week with I think an even better show. And I
I don't, I don't, UM, I don't take this casually. UM,
but I I guess I understand. I mean, I know, Well,

(01:54):
it's a difference. It's a different place for you to
be put in because you're used to wars back and
forth you know, with like Comedy Central or whatever it is,
over certain content getting in. This was one we you know,
we had an idea we maybe flew a little too
close to the to the sun. We had an idea
that we thought, as a as a theme, could really

(02:16):
carry us through the different normal parts of our show.
And that theme, I mean, I thought it was really funny.
Maybe in hindsight it was always going to be a
little dicey, but when when everyone listened to it, and
you know, I wanted to talk to because it's a drag.
We're coming off the Thanksgiving break. We you know, a
lot of momentum for our for the Rosenthal and Justin

(02:37):
mc vanity projects a lot of momentum before Thanksgiving, and
then we we take the Thanksgiving week off and we
come back and this happens. With with that all said
like it is a miracle. It is. I kind of
can't believe that we've been able to do any of
these that they're so ridiculous. And I am, you know,

(02:58):
grateful to the NFL that they're letting us do it
and that they're not It's not like they're canceling the show.
They're just like we we can't let you do that.
And that was on the table. That was on the table,
like we are allowed to come back, which you know,
I appreciate the opportunity um And and I think and
don't think that when we come back next week that
we're going to soften things. Now. We're gonna be pushing

(03:18):
the envelope as much as we have been. And I
think you want to have some failures, you know, you
want to push it too far and have the NFL
saying no. I would rather have them say no. You
can't do this and we know where the line is
and we can go right up against it then to
they never have them really do this, and we just
keep on kind of wondering, like what we can do. Well,
now now we know we know what the target is. Well,
it's like a lot a lot of people. There were

(03:39):
doubters out there in general about you know, the whole
idea of building a lot of the show a couple
of weeks ago around airbud. Yes, but that ended up
being maybe our most viral show signature. But yeah, people
people love it. And you know that's one case where
we flew close to the sun and uh and all

(03:59):
we did was score touchdown. And I'll say this, like
the only way I fly, the only way I fly
is close to the sun, first class and close to
the sun, Like I don't know how to go somewhere else,
Like I don't book a ticket for the moon. I'm
going close to the Sun. So again to to the
to the our listeners, thank you for listening to this,

(04:20):
thank you for listening to us kind of explain it
um and we will be back next week with with
a podcast is just as strong, just as good, and
just as you know, the high level of quality you
expect from the Rosenthal and Joselyn Vanity Project. I missed
that one. I blew it. I mean we we you know,

(04:40):
we we do feel bad. This is something we really
love doing it and we will make it up to
all the all the lists. I don't. I don't feel bad.
You can feel bad. This is your job bad, this
is your place of business. I just show up to
do these every week. I would just feel bad more
in general, because I'm, you know, more of a normal person.
I would say, I just I just feel bad for
the listeners, the people who kind of you know, like

(05:01):
to like to listen to us. And here are our
different stories. But you know, we'll try to reuse as
much as we can. And uh and again like don't
let this get you guys down. Um, but before we go, Greg, Um,
how are how are my god kids? How are your
son and daughter? Walker and Ellis? Well, it was the
you know, we haven't talked since Thanksgiving, and it was

(05:22):
the first Thanksgiving that I had both
