Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
We are back. Welcome to another episode of The Rosenthal
and jessel Nick Vanity Project r j v P. They
canceled our last episode, Anthony, but they couldn't cancel the show.
We are Sunday night football in a world of Thursday
night football. That's right, we're back. Thank you to all

(00:37):
the listeners who were concerned and worried that we were
taking off the air. Of course, episode six of The
Rosenthal and jessel Nick Vanity Project. We'll never be heard,
but it's cool the NFL is letting us continue, and
I think that's something to be celebrated. Yeah, and I'll

(00:58):
say this guy's you know, it was nice to seep
were being concerned and being upset on Twitter, but it
doesn't help our cause. Like if you say, like NFL,
where's our r j v P, you know, we needed
this week like that just makes them want to bring
us back less. So I we I appreciate it. But
in the future, if these things happen, and then they
will happen, it's a guarantee. Please just support us, you

(01:19):
know what I mean? You can leave the NFL out
of it. We know what we're doing. We know exactly
what we're doing. Yeah, I would say that the level,
it's not like they're angry. I would say they're more
just annoyed, annoyed that I didn't have to happen. I
think refused, you see, confused and upset was like your
was it was? It sounded about right to me, and
that's that's fine, you know what I mean. That's where
the we're the bad boys, you know, were the bad

(01:40):
boys of the NFL network and uh that these things
are gonna happen. Lot of chatter around the office is
people just wanted to know, like, what what is the theme?
You know, what was the theme that got us in trouble?
And I think just maybe saying the theme itself isn't
necessarily that big a deal. Let me let me try
and see if I can explain it in the simplest
terms possib because you know, no one will ever hear it.

(02:01):
It's been deleted. There will no one will ever hear this.
But let me just try to explain to you guys.
Um what we did was we kind of tried to
edited because of course it was and you know I
think that uh you know that should that should give
you a hint of of what of what happened. Um,
and again I think that that's the best explanation will

(02:21):
ever be able to to have. But things are a
little bit different on this episode of The Rosenthal and
Jocelyn mcvanity Project. Come on, Sydney. By the way, I
didn't even mention Sydney Carlson. That's what I was getting into.
I was talking all right for before Sydney interrupted with
her own competence. Um we Uh, Brandon is not here today.

(02:45):
The Brandon the producer who was I think, uh looking
But judging by Twitter people talking about the show is
the is the l v P, so the least about
he will play. People do not like it when he
talks um. And we got into a little bit of
a kerf fluffle. I guess last episode nothing to do
with the show being being deleted, but Brandon and I
had a little little tension. I'm not gonna say who

(03:06):
won the battle. But I am here today and Brandon
is not. Brandon is uh in Pasadena coaching a girl's
basketball team intramural. I think of from what I understand,
am I wrong? Laughing? That's also rock well some of
it is true. You you and Brandon legitimately have blocked
each other on Twitter. I blocked him on Twitter. He

(03:27):
blocked me. Now I can't unblock him because I don't
know how that works. So I think because we both
blocked each other, it's like a it's a Twitter Now
part of my gig, you know, being part of this
show is playing kind of like, you know, marriage counsel
between you and Brandon, who haven't been getting along. But no,
he is not. He's not coaching girls basketball. Listen if
he announces, he announces cow State Fullerton women's basketball, So

(03:50):
he's doing that well way different. Um uh. You know,
you know, it's not like your marriage counselor it's like
you don't even a marriage counselor if you bump into
somebody at a bar and you guys start having words,
that's what it is. It's not a big deal. Maybe
he'll be back next week. We'll see how Sydney does.
Maybe I demand, maybe I use my power at the
NFL to demand that Sydney's on full time. Clearly off
to a really great start. Now you're doing you're doing,

(04:11):
you're doing. I'll tell you this, you're doing better than Brandon.
Uh but no, uh, And I'm introducing a new, a
new thing to the show tonight, just for Sydney and
uh and for Greg to We're not allowed to swear
on the podcast. Um, but I like to swear a lot,
a lot of F bombs coming out of me. But
I think now we're gonna do a thing where anytime
I use the S word, we're all gonna you know

(04:35):
what I mean, So like so we would say that
like brand is not here, but I don't give a
thank you. We'll see how that works out. Um, but
I'm excited to be back. I'm excited to be back
on an r J VP that I think will will
definitely air. We'll see how how the rest of this episode. Yeah,
you couldn't be more excited about that whole idea on
the phone last night really excited Greg. I mean, I

(04:57):
know you didn't give a but I but I do.
I enjoy it. What's been two weeks now, you know,
since we have the show that was shelved last week
and then we had Thanksgiving the week before week. We
actually talked about Thanksgiving on the show that was put
in a box and put underground. Yeah, I don't want

(05:18):
to repeat that, but I will talk about one thing
that happened when I was in Pittsburgh. It wasn't Thanksgiving
was a couple of days before I took my I
took the men of the Justcen mc family, my brother
and my dad and my brother in law. M I
still thought she was getting get gonna get to go,
and I said, no, no no, no, I'm taking your husband.
But we went to go see a Penguins game. Uh
Penguins play the St. Louis Blues Penguins one, of course,
which was very excited about. But I'd never I'd never

(05:39):
seen the new console, uh consol Arena. I've never been
to the new Penguins place. I was excited. I got
tickets on just like stubbub. It wasn't like I got
like celebrity tickets, but I just got tickets on stuff
and they were right on the glass. But know how
to get celebrity tickets? Yeah, I used to my My
old manager was Jimmy Miller, who's from Pittsburgh, big, big
Pittsburgh guy. Whenever I would go home, I would ask

(05:59):
him and he would hook me up with like sweet
seats for Pirates games, Steelers games, Penguins games. But I'm
no longer with that company. Um uh through they would
no one got fired. It was just like my manager
left to go somewhere else, so I can't ask him
for tickets. So I bought my own. But I was
right behind the Penguins bench, which I did not understand.
I didn't know that at the time. But I was
like all over TV, like I was trending in Pittsburgh

(06:20):
for a couple of hours, which is sweet. Um. But
I made my family, I made us all dress up
the same. I wanted to go get Penguins jerseys, so
I went to the mall and I wanted to get
like old school Penguins jerseys, you know, get like some
Ron Francis Samario Lemieux. We couldn't find him, so I
got um, I got all jersey. I got us four
jerseys of players who haven't played for the Penguins in years.
I got like a couple of Jordan Stalls. I got

(06:41):
a I got a depot. I got again La from
my brother in law, again La, Sorry again La. And
everyone behind us was just like, look at these jerks
wearing jerseys that are like ancient ancient jerseys. But it
was fun too. It was fun to be all over
the game I love that you make them. Like why
do you get to decide what they were to the game? Money? Yeah,
because when I was like, I bought these things for

(07:02):
you guys, you're gonna wear them, and they were like, uh,
we also wear the same thing, I'm like, yes, you do.
I paid for the tickets, you know, I did it
all you do like a jessel Nick picture, Christmas pictures whatever. Yeah,
we have a pictures like the four of us in
front and then from behind, like pointing out the jerseys.
There's a picture of me yelling at my dad because
he tried to put his arm around me and he
covered up a name on the jersey and I'm like,
turning the dad, take your hand off it. I paid

(07:24):
twenty five dollars for this jersey, and uh, it's a
pretty great picture. Old crappy Penguins players. Know, they were
all great players. They all you know, they all contributed,
uh in their in their time. So it was it
was great. I would love to tell you about my Thanksgiving,
but I can't really. I'm really I've reached a point
with my memory and just life, especially like in the

(07:45):
regular season where every like I live in the moment.
People talk about you know, they want to do yoga
and whatnot to like live in the moment, like that's
the goal. Like I have achieved that. I have no memory.
Everything is just today. Every day, every week in the
season is kind of the same. I have no idea
what happened over Thanksgiving? What you said like trying to
think of something that happened, Like I have no recollection.

(08:06):
Are you trying to say you did too much yoga
and so I forgot everything? Yoga? The yoga wipes your memory.
I didn't do any yoga, no yoga. The kid, you know,
Walker was sick. That kind of you know, that put
a little My son Walker was sick, I know, and
it we'll get to talking about him a little later
in the show. So that was that. That was a
little bit of a drag. But like every you know,

(08:26):
when you have responsibilities, and like the NFL season, every
day of the NFL season, it's kind of like I
know exactly where I'm gonna be out Tuesday at a
certain time, and that's it. Thanksgiving it was the same.
It sounds like you've got a wonderful life. Sounds like
it's a wonderful life. Eighteen Willa Gorillas that would gold
change Pitchburg like Stiller's Hands, Lord of the Crime Lords.

(08:48):
I was pushing T. I was listening to push a
T and heard the Hindeswood reference. Got all excited and
I had to had to put it in. That was
I was very loud. I don't know if we can
change that in post, but it was extremely I think
you gotta crank to push it there. If it's there,
you can crank it. But that was it was like
Sydney was like mad at us and wanted to hurt
my ears. Um, I know, I know you can. I

(09:09):
know you can't said you wouldn't be here, you couldn't
fix all your mistakes. Um, it's time for headlines an
Tonio Brown this week. I just had a moment that
the moment it happened, I just thought, that's going onto
the podcast. Oh absolutely, I mean that was my I
was watching that game live and I was my first
thought too. Uh and insane touchdown celebration on many levels. Um.

(09:31):
And it wasn't the front flip into the end zone,
which I loved and we'll talk about that in a second,
but I really enjoyed he you know he Steelers were
just kicking but it really crushed the Colts on Sunday
Night football and ran a punt back. M was a
pun or kickoff. It's a punt, right, yea, yeah, I
ran a pump back. And when he gets at the
end zone, he does looked kind of like what would

(09:53):
you call it? It looked kind of a it was
like like a Teddy Bear, kind of like it looked
like one of the Pooh kind of like running and
just jumping on like legs and arms onto the goal post,
scaring the bejesus out of that security girl who was
standing behind it. I loved and I think that he
tried to like jump on and grab it. Try the stick.
He tried to stick. He said, he tried to stick.
I think he went to grab and when he touched

(10:13):
her arms, he kind of freaked out like he kind
of let it go and then fell backwards and immediately
was penalized. He looked like he wanted to hump the
goal post essentially. I mean, he did fire himself crotch
first into a goal post, which I mean, even the
announcers like this is insane. I've never seen anything like it.
And he got up smiling, so you know he must
be wearing two cups. There's no way one cup would

(10:33):
have would have prevented that. Girl runs away screaming, he
falls down. Everyone's happy, and then they penalized him for
using the goal post as a prop, which is I mean,
if you just run into it by accident, you don't
get a penalty, you don't get a penalty flag. But he,
you know, he went for it. You were offended at
the at the big hug. Was it like, was it
like a mooning? Well, it looks it looks painful for

(10:55):
one just watching, looks painful, and he just like immediately
like flip in. They actually did a our research department
seriously did a study. They have something called next Gen
stats where they know how fast each player is going.
He was going seventeen miles an hour as he headed
into the end zone. So that, I mean, that's pretty

(11:15):
much like a huge bike accident. You're going seventeen miles
an hour as you go into an end zone and
then suddenly you just stopped going Crotch first. Yeah, it was.
It was awesome. I mean it was kind of like
my if you guys remember if you guys are our
j VP fanatics, you know, I talked about more my
touchdown celebration would be was the throats, last gesture across
my crotch. It was kind of like that for Antonio

(11:37):
and I loved. I love what um I love what
tom One said about because sometimes you get a flag
and people are like, oh, you shouldn't be doing that.
Tomlin was said, what do you want me to do?
Not play them? Which I love. When I asked about
the front flip in the end zone, he just said.
Tomlin just said, awesome, play six celebration. Move on, like
when your coach backs you on that it's uh, it's great.
And this was Greg. This was the moment for me.

(12:00):
I know we've talked about whether I was gonna get
another hinds Ward jersey or brown jersey. My brother's getting
me a birthday present, and I went with last yesterday
I thought about it and I'm going with the brown jersey.
That's big kind's words placement and to push the T song.
I mean, I have a hinds Ward jersey and older one.
It doesn't fit me as well. It's a little too big,
you know. It was one of those like an ex
got it for me and it was like they didn't

(12:21):
know what the hell they were doing. But but I'm
I'm still Hind's words, my boy. But I want to
live in I wanna live in the present as if
I did yoga, you know, like like you were saying,
and uh and so I'm all about Antonio Brown now
in the jersey. That wasn't the only celebration that really
caught my eye. I really enjoyed this week edited because
Greg wasn't funny. Special teams players celebrate everything they do.

(12:43):
They go crazy the only people for like ten seconds
every like forty five minutes on the field. They celebrate everything.
Special teams players celebrate. That's not gonna make That's kind
of Vegas show. I am. The best thing out of it,
persis Clementi with the Pirates. I'll tell them this middle

(13:03):
finger sound for silence. That was Mac Miller. Another Pittsburgh
reference from a Pittsburgh rapper. And now I've got to
say something. New rule from the NFL this week. I
thought they would come down on us for content after
the last week, but they did not. Their new rule is, Greg,
you wanna tell me what you told me yesterday? Yeah,
The new rule is that we can no longer use

(13:25):
the songs that we use as you know, interstitials between
each headline, except we can use two songs. But that's it.
And in fact, initially there was a very serious meeting
where the head of head of the podcast department told
me we can now only use one song, one ten
second clip, one time ever and that's it per show.

(13:47):
So you get ten seconds per show of songs like
mac Miller or push a T. It was then I
don't know what happened. There's I think they're just making
things up. But a day or two later, Sydney, you've
been involved in these meetings too, they or two later
we did get the word we can now use two
songs ten seconds. That's it for the whole. And see,
these are the kind of rules that really bother me.

(14:08):
You know, I was okay with the NFL, you know,
erasing all the last week's podcast because I understood, I
understood why. I mean, it wasn't it wasn't a wasn't
an issue for me. But this kind of rule, this
two soong rule, is one of those arbitrary rules that
networks give me a lot that I cannot stand because
there's no reason for it. They just picked the number
two out and they just gave that to us. It
could have been six. It could they could have even
us a hundred if they wanted to. So I'm going

(14:30):
to reject this, Greg, I'm rejecting the rule. I'm gonna
I'm I'm gonna bite the hand that fads me here,
and I'm going to keep on playing hip hop, top
shelf hip hop, my favorite songs, uh from today, and
I'm gonna gonna go back. I'm gonna go back, you know,
maybe maybe twenty years with some classic with some classic
hip hop jams as we keep going. So maybe this

(14:51):
is our last episode because of this. I don't think so.
I think uh, I think the copyrights are gonna be okay.
But um, but let's just let's talk about the next story.
It would be really disappointing. And that is what's called
the professional tease ladies and gentlemen. That I mean, people
are now really waiting for that high shelf hip hop
that's going to be coming up now after all of
these headlines. But this, it would be kind of sad
though after I don't know, after doing the show last

(15:13):
week and they they shut that down, Like if if
just this these songs were the reason we can't continue.
This is a hill I'm willing to die on because
it's because it's such an arbitrary rule. It just makes
it makes me sick, It makes me want to puke.
So I'm going to I'm going to completely ignore it
and we're gonna keep on playing hip hop. Sydney's got
my back, He's gonna play all my jams. But let's
talk about this next this next hup, we could be

(15:33):
taking down Sydney with us, which I'm willing to accept. Uh.
Kirk Cousins this week lost that Monday night football game.
It's very exciting at the end. Redskins, Cowboys. Kirk Cousins.
If you don't know, very positive guy. Um with no
reason to be positive. It's gotten him pretty far in life.
You know, he's the starting quarterback of the Washington Redskins

(15:56):
and Uh, he had a postgame press conference that that
really tickled my fancy. I love that question because you're
thinking positive and that's the way we need to think
around here. You know, there was a results space business.
The result wasn't what we wanted, but the process we
did some good things. We can build on that and
we can start to create something long term that could
be pretty special if we continue to find ways to

(16:18):
just keep playing and give great effort. So I appreciate
that question, Thank you for staying positive. I I cannot
stand when quarterbacks don't act like quarterbacks. Kirk Cousins sounds
like like a divorced dad who's trying to trying to
make Christmas okay for his kids even though he couldn't
buy hm any presents. You know, they're just sitting around,
like the sitting around like a like a like an
old and old Christmas treatment. Guys, isn't this great where

(16:40):
a family were together? Like look at this, he's it's
he should have been fired on the spot. Well, so
should have the person who asked the question, who prefaced
it by saying, you know, I know that's a tough
game for you. But when when you're in hard times
like these, like do you find you know something? That
person should add their press credentials removed. That that's the
most ridiculous homer sort of question ever. And and for

(17:04):
a player to call you out twice in an answer
and say how much they appreciate that particular question like
that is the last thing you would ever want to
hear you're a reporter now after unless he said, let's
the reporter residence and actually, Kirk, you know what the
reps were wrong. You actually won that game and it's
gonna go in the record books as a w then
he can be as excited as he was about that question.

(17:25):
You just lost to like the worst team in the
NFL at home at home, could have been in first place.
He reminds me a lot of Andy Dalton on and
off the field. We talked about Andy Dalton's reaction that J. J.
Watt about a month ago and how much that annoyed us,
and Kirk Cousins has a lot of similarities. He's actually
a likable guy. I read this piece and on the
MMQB by Robert Klempo about him. A very likable guy,

(17:48):
but totally exactly what you say, like a guy. There's
no way that the rest of his teammates are watching
that press conference and thinking that's our leader. He's a
guy who absolutely wants it too much, like when the
article really let it know that, like he just wants
to be so good that he's the one that's gripping
the ball too tight at the end of the game.
And I mean you can hear it with with that answer, Yeah, absolutely,

(18:11):
I'm not a I'm not a Kirk Cousins fan and
f L never can tell schools in session ding ding
with the bell. It's all good, baby baby bear. I'm
not even gonna tell you who that was, but that's
I mean, if you don't know who that was, she
zam it because that's classic hip hop. People like people

(18:32):
asking for a list of the songs that we play. No,
we're not gonna do that. That's too much. Figure it
out yourself. Honestly, if you don't know that song, just
throw away your record collection, throw away your computer because
you're not a music fan. We're bringing it back old
school and we're bringing it back with the classics. And
just to hear a song like that in two thousand

(18:54):
and fifteen again, it's awesome. I used it because it
referenced the NFL and I'll give you a hint. Sugar
Hill Gang um all right next to next headline, Like
when you just say next headline, I guess if I'm
not gonna just start talking the Bills. The Buffalo Bills
this week and their fans are back in the news
every week. Really, my favorite running subplot of the two

(19:17):
thousand in fifteen season is the amazing work being done
by dead Spin dot Com and the intrepid fans in
the Buffalo Bills parking lot in stands every game. Now,
for a lot of listeners, you might not know what
I'm talking about. Every week dead Spin has some sort
of insane sexual activity happening in the Bills parking lot

(19:40):
or in the in the stands. This week it was
particularly agrees is. It was a boyfriend humping, which is
a nice way to put it. I'm not trying not
to get deep his girlfriend from behind, uh, just in
the middle of the parking lot. They both have Bills
jerseys on, and someone you know, just kind of like
sneak lee took out a cell phone. Yeah, and they

(20:02):
were they were trying they were trying to have a
baby in the part. I think that's a better way
to put it. Um to a couple of things about this.
First of all, the video of them, of them, you know,
trying to reproduce in the parking lot is just labeled savage,
which I cannot stand. I don't know when savage became
like the word to go to, but on Twitter a
million times a day. People just call me savage like

(20:23):
and it's a compliment. I mean, for me, it's a compliment.
I don't know for them it's a compliment. But I
can't I don't know where it came from and why
everyone is on board with it. I get Fred Savage
a lot. I believe that I'm not even joking they
I always get that. I mean, that's totally different, but
I get a lot of You're the guy from the
Wonder Years, Kevin Arnold. I worked with Fred Savage once
I yelled at him. Once I yelled, I got to
yell him. He was directing an episode of a TV

(20:44):
show I was in and I had I had I
had seen where someone had thrown up on me and
he's he was like, ladling peace soup onto my, onto
my like boxer shorts and T shirt and it was
so cold. There was a girl funding notes we've seen
it with someone vomits on me, and as he's throwing
it on me, it was so cold that I just
screamed out, damnit Savage, and everyone started laughing. I was like,

(21:07):
this is so great. If I was watching The Wonder
Us as a kid, I never thought I'd get to
grow up and yell at Fred Savage. Secondly, uh Savage?
Aside this Bill's humping thing. I think it's amazing because
I don't know if this happens at Bill's games every
week and and only Bills fans are doing this, because
if so, then I'm moving to Buffalo immediately. I love it.

(21:27):
I love their behavior. Or is it that this happens everywhere?
Is every fan base all over the country doing this
at home games? But they're just not snitching on each other,
They're just not recording it and reporting it to to
dead Spin. I think it's a Buffalo thing. I really do.
There's another video from last week of I think a
couple in the in the upper deck, uh edited because

(21:49):
we baled too hard? What is what is going on
in in Northern New York, Western New York? Rather? I mean,
it's like, it's an amazing thing. It makes me respect
the Bills fan base for whatever reason, a lot more
that they've got a little more edge and a lot
more going on than I that I used to think.
I think. I mean, I don't know how much of
respect them, but I did. To me, they remind me,

(22:09):
and I do I enjoy them, but to me they
seem like freshman in college, like just got through orientation
and like all excited they get to hook up without
their parents around, and then like all taking pictures and
banging on each other's doors and we're trying to make out.
I think that's uh, I think that's hilarious. I just
wish they'd stopped narking on each other. I think it
may be something to Buffalo doesn't get a lot of
press as fans or just in general, and it's maybe

(22:32):
like once one or two hit dead Spin, everyone was
just like, this is our ticket, this is our ticket
to get Buffalo on the map. Like people don't really
know what to think when they think of Buffalo other
than cold or Buffalo Wings. And now it's copulating in
the parking lot and choke slimming people through tables to

(22:56):
chessel Nick, it's all good, baby baby back. I'm not
gonna tell you that was either that was a little
more new school. That was more of like uh that,
I mean, that's that's in the last eighteen months. I
think it came out and it wasn't a single. It's
kind of a it's a B side, but but it's
it's it's really good so uh, whoever, who you know

(23:17):
a fan of yours? Sure clearly, sure I like the
shout out, but but I uh, I don't think I
think it was I think it's a coincidence. Our next
story is about Brett Farve, who has been making it
into this show quite a bit. Of course. Uh, he
had his retirement ceremony a couple of weeks ago. We
actually talked about that on the show that was shelved

(23:39):
last week, but we're not going to go back there.
But he's back in the news now, um because of
this story that CBS Sports did looking back at Brett
Farve talking to former former teammates and stuff. Yeah, exactly,
talking to play different former players and teammates all giving
their best Brett Farve story. And the Mark Runell's story

(24:01):
really cracked me up. And the short version of it, well,
first every other story is like it's fourth and twelve,
you know, we really needed this. Brett's in the huddle
and he doesn't even care, He's just so cool, and
then he throws an eighty year bomb. Like every everything
else was game related except for Mark Burnell. Yeah. Mark
Brunel told a hunting story and it was essentially when
Brett Farve was a kid. Uh. They were trespassing on

(24:24):
some property. They had a twenty two rifle, not not
really what you should be hunting with, and uh, they
wanted to go see if they could shoot a deer
and knock it down. And uh, and they did and
they got the deer, Uh, but he was flopping around
and they thought they werenty in trouble. They thought they

(24:44):
were going to get in trouble because the deer's making
a lot of sounds. That's what happens when you shoot
them with too rifle as a kid, and so they
figured the only way to kill the deer would be
to drown him in a puddle. Yeah, alive, alive, do here?
Um who's been shot several times with the twenty two.
They took its handler's and they drowned it. Took it

(25:06):
took a while, and he's and Brett's describing the gurgling
sounds and the bubbles come up until they finally kills it.
And that's a horrible that's a horrifying story. That is,
if if you told me that, Greg, we would probably
not be friends anymore. That's such a horrifying My mom,
who has not enjoyed the animal cruelty parts of this podcast.
Is not gonna find that story. No one does, except
except Brett Farve and Mark Brunell. Mark just kept saying

(25:29):
it was hilarious. We were all cracking up over lunch.
We just can't get enough of this story where he
tortured a dear to death. He's so yeah, the way
he told that story, we were crying laughing. It was
gut ache type of laughing. He's like, I'll probably get
in trouble for this, but it's one of the funniest
stories I've ever heard, and there's been no blood. We're
like the first people to talk about it. It's insane.

(25:50):
It's insane. Well, the other the other part of the
stories that cracked me up was the one I think
it was Tie debtmer or was it koy debtmer I
I mistake my debt Merse. I know, Sydney, you're probably
a fan of the debts. I am a fan of Tie.
I don't know much about coin Sid. Sydney is a
b y U grad and uh so is Tie deptmer

(26:11):
I believe and she didn't tell me, Gret. I can
just assume by the way that you're handling your duties
that hopefully that's a good, good thing. I'll leave it
up to you. What you major broadcast journalism? Oh would
you minor? And not that? Uh communications, I guess that's wrong.

(26:34):
Deptmer was telling the story about how one day during
mini camp season, like, they could not find Brett Farve.
They're like, they don't know where he is. They start
practice and then all of a sudden, in the middle
of practice, like Brett Farve just like runs onto the field,
like his uniforms on kind of wrong. His hair's all
messed up, and he's smelling like alcohol. He smells like liquor.

(26:57):
And they're all just like, oh that Brett of that
bread Like imagine if Johnny. That's so much worse than
Johnny Menzel being out at a club and then lying
about it to his team. But they're just like that
that crazy alcoholic bread fire. Things have things have changed,
things have changed. It's all good, baby baby back. That

(27:25):
was that was that was like the same part of
the last song, I mean a different part of the
same song from before. Again, I'm not gonna tell you
what it was, but it's in the past eighteen months
and a good one I found. There's a common thread
between some of these songs. They all have a they
all have a similar ending. That's uh, I think that's
just the way hip hop is today. You know, I
don't I didn't notice what you were talking about. But

(27:46):
but they're all they're all good. Bill Belichick in the
news this week just for a funny picture, uh that
came up and basically turned into a Jeff and a
meme and all that stuff of him addressing the NFL's
only female official, Sarah Thomas. It's a great picture on
the sideline and he's essentially in some sort of discussion

(28:10):
with her where he's talking about the rules. But when
the picture is snapped, Bill Belichick basically just has his
arms around like a round her shoulders, as if they're
like drunk at a bar, and he's like trying to
make his move. Like the picture looks bad, like it
looks like he's hitting on her. And when I first
saw it, I was like, he's got to get some
sort of fine for this. But then I I saw
the video and he's just trying to demonstrate something he

(28:32):
saw on the field. Like it's clear that he's trying
to show like a hold. So if you watch the video,
Belichick only has his hands in her shoulders for a
second before he throws her to the ground and stomps
on Hey yo, Roger in the morning, Roger Afternoon, Roger
in the evening. Get that a lot to do? It's
all good, baby, baby, I love that Jack. That's a

(28:57):
good one. Was Yeah, one of the really like toplicle
when Goodell came onto the scene and he was just
like blowing up everywhere. People just were going crazy. A
lot of shoutouts for for Goodell A lot to do.
What's the name of that song? The Green Bay Packers
this week, Um, there was a report that they chose

(29:20):
not to sign a player, Alonso Harris, because they were
worried that he would be a bad influence on his
buddy Eddie Lacey. Now for a little backstory, Eddie Lacey
was benched for the Thanksgiving game. He's had um problems
with his weight this year. Uh, he's now had problems
with being tardy. Uh there's been some rumors about substance

(29:43):
abuse and things like that, and so the Packers basically, uh,
it cost this guy a job essentially that he was
a friend of Eddie Lacey. Because they were just like, no,
we don't want we don't want this guy around Eddie Lacey. Uh.
It got me thinking, Anthony, who what f and has
been the worst influence on you? You know that that's

(30:04):
a good question. First, I wanted to talk about this
for a second. I like when teams do this, I
like the Steelers would do it all the time. The
Steelers got rid of Plexico because because he was like
he was becoming good friends with Ben and they would
like write up place for each other and stuff, and
they're like, we gotta get this idiot out of here. Uh,
get him to New York Garrett Blunt after he was
caught smoking with Levyan Bell and they want to and

(30:25):
around on the day. I want to save Levian. So
I like, when teams do this the worst influence on me,
I think it's like not applicable because I'm like the
bad influence, you know, I'm like the I'm always the one.
If I was going to have one bad influence on me,
I would say in college, you were the bad influence, Yes,
because you you weren't as bad as I was. You
were pretty close. We kind of did the same things.

(30:46):
We had the same Like if someone had followed us
around for four years, we would have been charged with
the exact same crimes. But you had to Yes, that's true,
but you had a car and more money than me,
so you it's like it wasn't for you. I would
have been like a little angel like to studying. But
because you were like, let's go, I'm buying and I'm driving,
then then it was all it was all good. Who
was the who do you think was the worst influence

(31:07):
on you? Well you would be the obvious answer, but
I actually think our friend Mike father this valley another
because uh, he also had a car, but he really
didn't care about drunk driving. I mean, I everyone, Uh
Mike never had a car. I'm thinking I'm thinking of
one one particular time, but he I think he was

(31:30):
it was you know, the three of us were really
good friends. Um, but I think no matter what we did,
me and you, that was you know, not the best idea.
There was like an air of frivolity of fun to it.
And and Mike had a menace behind everything that a
little a little bit of darkness that added. You know,
I like your answer so much. I want to change
mind to Mike Valdes Folli because Mike is now who's

(31:52):
now like a PR master. He's like now like you know,
the top of the world of PR. So he could
talk you into things. He would call me like guys,
let's go out, let's go out drinking, like no, I've
got a final in an hour, and he would talk
you into it. He would do this, He would find
some way to do it where you would like you
would be following him out like I don't want to
do this, but I'm doing it because Mike made us.
He would sell you on on the best idea to
ruin your life. My name is Anthony, and I'm here

(32:18):
to say I'm the world's greatest rapper in a major way.
It's all good, baby baby back. I'm not gonna lie
that was me. I's gonna say, I mean, well that
was that was just you? Was that was actually me? Yeah,
I had them, I had them played. I had like
I went back. Um. It was kind of like some
early early stuff that I did. But but I think

(32:39):
it's a good song and I wanted to kind of
get some some rel I wanna get a lot of
Twitter followers off of that one. The flow could have
used a little bit of work, but the lyrics mean,
it was early, It was early, justly, Nick, So you
too bad. Fox News this week issued two suspensions UH
to on air contributors UH for their reaction to President

(33:01):
Barack Obama's Sunday night's speech where he discussed terrorism, et cetera.
But it was really one one of the reactions that
really UH sort of cop my eye. Appearing on Fox
Business on Sunday, Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Peters was discussing um

(33:21):
Obama's reaction, and his quote was that we want you
to react, do something you're afraid. I mean, this guy
is such a total it's stunning. I love it. I
love the fact that, uh, that someone would get suspended
for calling the presidents on the news. This guy is
like an authority figure to call Obama total. And I

(33:43):
just liked the idea of like him getting called into
the office and his boss being like, hey, hey, Ron,
come on in your for a second sit down. Um, hey,
I was listening to the show. Did you call the
commander in chief a total? Like like like we're on
the eighth grade playground right now? Well, yeah, did you
did you hear the speech? I mean that guy is unbelievable.

(34:05):
Did you did you listen to the speech? Yeah, I
don't mind so much. Your your problem with the speech,
it's the language that you used. Greg, it seemed I mean,
do you see anything wrong with with using the phrase
at total edited? Because this is America gone gone for
a week for calling Obama total and you know it's

(34:27):
worth it, you know, He's It's like me playing these
hip hop songs. I'm gonna get in trouble for sure
for violating the league's mandate, but I don't care because
it's worth it, you know what I mean, It's worth it.
It's kind of a boss move, like I'll say this
and maybe this will get cut out. In England, when
you get sentenced to prison, what you do when that
sentencing kind of uh like, uh, pave us the way

(34:48):
for how you're gonna be treated in prison. So if
you if you cry during sentencing, when you get to jail,
they all know you cried and they make fun of
you for having cried. But if you like say something badass,
then you're like king. So this one guy a couple
of years ago, the judge sentence him to five years
in prison, and he goes five years. I can do
that spinning on my and they gave him ten years.

(35:08):
But when he got to prison, he was like a
god like they all loved him, they all loved him.
I doubt so many parts of that story. I don't
know if we can use it. But we should catch
me at the Hula hands at the bar with my
super fans, room for one more. If we cut off
all our hands, don't he fingers when we still have

(35:29):
all our glands. It's all good, baby baby bear. Wow. Yeah,
it's almost like the nfl UM. I don't know. Maybe
we should follow their their edicts and only play two
songs because I don't know if America can handle this
type of heat. I mean, that's one episode this much fire.

(35:51):
If you want to hear the rest of that song
is held. Catch me at the Whuli Hands, it's a
big hit. I played a lot when I'm at the
gym um, catch me at the Juliands. I forget the artist,
but he is great. Caitlyn Jenner. This week we saw
this story. Brandon sends us the stories a lot of
times of some things we should look at. This one
seemed a little curious as an option, but he but

(36:12):
we're gonna We're gonna attack it. Anyways, Caitlyn Jenner gave
her daughter Kylie the most awkward present you could possibly imagine.
It was a set of underwear, a set of underwear
with prints of Caitlin's face on the underwear. I heard
about this, I was kind of I was upset. Um,

(36:34):
I didn't know those existed. You could get underwear with
Caitlyn Jenner's face on them. And I can't believe how
much time I've wasted in my own life hand drawing
Caitlyn Jenner on all of my underwear. And the worst part, Greg,
I mean, it takes hours. I don't use a stencil.
I hand on each every time, so they look a
little different. But we're a terrible artist, terrible, terrible. I
don't know why I even thought I could do it.

(36:55):
But when Bruce Jenner made the announcement that he was
transgender and was going to have and was going to
become Caitlin, I stupidly gave away all of my underwear
with Bruce Jenner's face. And I could have just changed,
you know what I mean, I could have just drawn
hair on it. And yeah, now I look like an idiot.
I look like an idiot because of that. It reminds
me I was I was thinking of do you do

(37:19):
you do you remember in college? And I think it
was maybe college or a little bit after you you
once got me. Actually we talked about this item, uh
in another podcast. You you bought me a bond once
for my birthday, I believe, and it that kick started
a series of presents that we would get for each other,

(37:42):
because after you got me one, I think I felt like, well,
I gotta step it up and get something in return.
So like every birthday, we would get each other a
nice president. It will lasted for like three or four years,
did it? And when it finally ended it because it
got things got more and more extreme, where it was
like why are we wasting so much time? Like why
they almost got awkward? Like why there was a pressure

(38:04):
to it? Why why how am I spending money on
on Anthony when I barely get my mom something. It
was an arms race. It was an arms race. I
I kicked it off with the ball. And then do
you remember I remember two other gifts that I got you,
but I can't remember more than that. I can't remember anything.
I remember. I remember I got you a Peter Gammon's
bobble head doll that I won from ESPN. That I
actually I didn't pay for what I won because I

(38:24):
know you loved Peter Gammons. You were getting into sports
writing at the time. UM, I don't know whatever happened
with that? Did you ever? Do you ever keep going
with that? I don't know. I don't know where the
Peter Gamons babble head ball? No, I mean sports writing. Um, anyway,
Peter Gamons bubble head which was good. And then I
got you a first edition of Kurt Vonna Gets Breakfast
of Champion. Yeah, well that I still have, of course
that that was a great that was a good one.
I checked that out on I just you know, google

(38:47):
that once three or four years ago. That's worth a lot.
Do you remember any of the gifts you got me?
I remember one. I remember one which I loved. I
still have my the Mario lem New jersey when Lem
came back our senior year of college. Lemu decided he
was coming back, and as soon as he did, you
ordered it, and I think I got it in time
for the playoffs. Remember that year we watched the Penguins playoffs.
It was like it was amazing. Should have worn that

(39:09):
to the Christmas game behind the bench. That was a
that was a good but you don't remember anything else
you got me, No, no, not at all. Okay, it's
all good, baby baby bath. That was the Fat Boys.

(39:31):
They weren't even rapping. It was like it was kind
of like a you know, it was like the kind
of an in between thing, but you could get you
got that fat boy vibe. Yeah, that was It was
a different time the eighties, Like you could make an
entire living like that guy from the police at ADAMU movies,
just off making funny sounds like guy still around um
Steve Gutenberg. That was headlines. It was headlines. This is

(39:54):
the part of the show where in past weeks we
often give recommendations. Uh we book recommendations. We've given music recommendations, movies.
I heard from someone who works at the NFL this week,
Patrick Crawley. He took our book recommendation and he was
reading now I'm forgetting the name of the book, Redeployment, Redeployment,

(40:17):
and we really liked it, so so we took my
recommendation and not yours. I like that. I like that
a lot. Um This week I wanted something different. We
were recommend a live show, something live that we uh
that we saw. Um I when I was in New
York for a couple of days, I went and saw
my friends John Malaney Nick Kroll have been putting on
a show called Oh Hello. Two of the characters that

(40:39):
they that they've been doing for a long time and
kind of perfected on Kroll Show. But they're doing a
live like hour and a half type of like a play,
like a very meta play at the I believe the
cherry House Theater, New York. They're doing it this month
and then we'll see where it goes from there. But
if you're in New York in December, try to check
out um Oh Hello off Broadway. It is hilarious. Like
I don't watch a lot of comedy because that's what

(41:00):
I do, but I, um, I loved it. I mean
I was. I was laughing the entire time. Was just
kind of blown away at how how good it is.
And I see, like the fourth time they ever did it,
I couldn't believe how off book they were and how
fantastic it was. So if you're in New York, go
see John Malinney, Na Cruel and Oh hello, that's hip
praise because you you generally you're a tough guy to please.
When it comes to the comedy, you're kind of nothing else. Yeah,

(41:21):
jerk um. I was trying to think of something I've
been too lately. The the experience that stands out the
most would be a Mountain Goats show. If you've never
heard of the Mountain Goats. Uh, They're great, but they're
live shows are awesome. Like it was just such an
amazing feeling leaving that night. I know. He actually just
announced another tour, so his latest album is great. I

(41:43):
also might be able to recommend soon Frozen on Ice.
Oh yeah, Frozen on Ice, Disney on Ice, Frozen. Addition,
big Time Christmas present uh in the house this week.
They're in l A this week, so I'm not gonna
wait for Christmas. Me and Ellis are going going to
check that out. Getting your four year old daughter the

(42:05):
major daddy points. I'm very upset with you about this.
He told me about this last night. We were talking
about the podcast today, and I was like, why didn't
you tell me? I would have loved to have gone
with you and had her sitting in between us, and
I mean, of course, you you're gonna hate this thing
on ice. There's actually an article in the New York
Post that like, you know, googled reviews for it, and
it was like parents, you know, you know, nightmare as

(42:27):
kids like love their frozen and it was just like
an article about like dad's being so annoyed and like
checking their phones for two hours. Why had to? When
I was a kid, my sisters were all ice skaters
and all figure skaters, and I would have to go
to see the Nutcracker on ice at the Civic Arena
every every single year because they were in it. They'd
be like mice or something. You'd run around and I
always I always hated it. Um, but but yeah, next time,

(42:49):
next time. Let me know. I would have loved to
have spent some time with my god daughter, uh you know,
in between us would have been really funny. And that
was recommendations. My name is Amica. I beat everybody's into Mecula,
kill a man anywhere I stand. I don't respect you law.
It's all good, baby baby. That was a shout out

(43:12):
for the wife that was a that was That's a
song called My Name is Emmaca. It's great. It's a
great song. I think that's gonna be a ring tone.
I like that you came out with the only you found,
the only word that ends with emma, and don't forget
I don't respect to law by the way, emmaca. My wife,
uh not a like she likes the podcast a lot.

(43:33):
It's the first thing I've ever done that she's listened to.
And this is true of a lot of people in
terms of like my family, extended family friends, like they
seem like they've never read or listened to anything I've done,
but they seem to be enjoying this, which is great.
But she said the one thing that she wanted to
get off the show was every time that we say

(43:54):
the Rosenthal and jessely Nick Vanity Project, that we we
yell out the r j VP. And she really didn't
like that. And I reject that out of hand. And
you know, I like your wife more than I even
like you, um, but I rejected it because we only
do it like three or four times a show, you know.
So I think it's kind of like bullsh that she

(44:14):
would say that, and we're just going to We're gonna
do it anyway. But that's a little shot up for her.
Maybe now she'll accept it more now that she knows
how I feel about it, now that she's uh, the
star of a very popular rap song. Let's go to
ask Anthony. This is the part of the where we
take a question from Twitter, and this question is from
at Rob Hiddi Hi d d Y, and he asks,

(44:36):
how do you feel, Anthony about all this new anti
thoughts and prayers sentiment? Are you proud of how you
started it? Or are you annoyed? And of course he's
referring to some of the reactions to the San Bernardino
shootings h including a New York Daily News cover where

(44:57):
they where they mentioned, you know, thoughts and prayers are
not enough. That's the name of your Netflix special, and
you have a long, you know, monologue about about how
annoying you find that. Yeah. I think I maybe I
was the first person to actually publicly say, uh, you know,
thoughts and prayers is a dumb thing too, as a
hollow thing, a hollow sentiment to use on social media

(45:17):
when something happens, you're not actually changing anything. I don't
really think that I started it. I don't. I wish
I had like enough of an ego to be like, oh,
that's all me. I think I do. I do, but
not that big like I And I would never say, oh,
you're stealing my bit, because that's just poor taste. I
can't use use these tragedies to promote myself. Uh And
and if other people want to pick that up. I
see a lot of people, even comedians saying, like, you know,

(45:37):
kind of parroting what I said. But I just like
the people are saying it, and I'm just very grateful.
If my special came out next month, it would be
lame almost. You know. I kind of got it out
right before they started to happen where the tide turned,
and it's possible that because it was out there that
maybe people kind of picked it up, but I don't
think so. I think it would have happened anyway. And
then I just kind of I got I got lucky,

(45:58):
and my art reflected society as opposed to society reflecting
my art, if that If that makes sense. Um, so
I'm I'm all for people kind of saying the same
things that I've said because I got paid for it
and they did not. Yeah, I mean it has. I've
seen you get mentioned a lot because of that, whether
obviously it wasn't intentional or not. Um, but it has

(46:20):
worked out for old Jesse Nick. But it's it's also
it's weird anytime it's a tragedy that it promotes my
special in some way. But one of the guy, a
guy from the New York Times, tweeted that it's very
it's a very odd day when the entire country aligns
with Anthony jessel Knik's opinions on tragedy. And I love that.
And that was asked Anthony, I'll throw it down like

(46:43):
a challenge flag, kick it through the uprights. Jessel knicks
the man favorite sport. You know, it's bump fights. It's
all good, baby baby Beth fights. Listener of the Week
UH is something we do to highlight our favorite listener
on iTunes. Everyone's been leaving comments, like we have a

(47:04):
hundred and seventy comments, which is a lot for iTunes
UH in a short amount of time, and that really
helps us. Tell your friends to subscribe. You know, we're
trying to build some momentum here within the NFL. UH,
and you guys are doing a great job supporting us. UH.
This week, our listener of the week is sports this
guy and uh, he said Touchdown air Bud five stars. Wow,

(47:30):
that's just just hit me that we haven't even mentioned
the best part of our show. Had no idea these
these two knew each other. The only flaws they aren't
doing it more. Love it, Please don't pull it, NFL.
It's hilarious. I will buy whatever products you want me
to in moderation of course, that we could be making
money for the NFL. Kudos to the NFL for this one.

(47:52):
Definitely liking the NFL media more after the start to
this show, it'll get canceled, which is a shame because
people are just too soft. That's say. It's a pretty
good comments, but I disagree with all of it. We're
gonna be around for a long long time. You can't
kill me. Touch can't stop me. It reminds me, um,

(48:14):
you know, when we had this show last week and
we had to air the half show, I gotta I got.
I feel like I got surprising reaction. People seem pretty
cool with it. And like I said, my family is
on board. Like my mom just sent one with a
text that just said, you know, yeah, the the podcast
continues like she was just happy that we avoided cancelation

(48:35):
and put some emojis. I also got one from my
uncle Dave David Milner, which I found interesting, and he says,
loved your quick retort to Anthony about feeling bad about
the current shows cancelation quote. I'm more of a normal person.
That's an authentic and sincere response that fits within a

(48:56):
very strong and unique male friendship. I love the show reach.
That is a very psychologically apt thing to say. Yes
a psychologist, Yes, my I liked my dad. I asked
my my parents, but listen to podcast a lot when
I was home, and I said, you know, Dad, what
do you think about all the hip hop that we play?
And he just got really quiet, and you said, it's great,
it's really funny. Like my dad hates hip hop. Like

(49:17):
my dad hates hip hop so much you would think
the cool mood killed his parents. That's how much he hates,
like on a on a level that I can't even
I can't even understand. It's uh, it's ridiculous. Never never
doubt that. Man. Okay, okay, I didn't know that, But
all right, a little less conversation, a little more action, please.

(49:40):
All this aggravation ain't satisfaction in me. It's all good.
Maybe beggar. That was that was a remix that yeah,
it was Elvis Presley with a hip hop beat. It
was from an Apple commercial that I that I enjoyed, Greg,
what's the hot take of the week? Brandon Browner has
been in the news the Saints cornerback for all the

(50:00):
penalties that he's had this season. He's gotten into different
fights with reporters, but mostly he's just struggled at playing football.
He's been one of the worst players in the league,
and that caused Shannon Sharp to tweet out watching Brandon
Browner of the Saints cover today, I'm convinced he couldn't
cover a twin bid with a King's sheet. That's a

(50:21):
sizzling hot take there. I love it. I love it.
Couldn't he couldn't hit water if he felt out a boat,
you know. I mean, it's one of those kind of
things that I just I love those. I love this
kind of comments. Those are the Regret's a great it's
a great hot take. Brandon Browner responded, Uh, it's easy
to talk with fake teeth. Back to Shannon Sharp, which

(50:41):
was solid, It's not bad, but it's it's actually it's
it's it's not that easy to talk with fake teeth.
If you're putting fake teeth, it's tough. You know, you
gotta you gotta your Your tongue is not used to it,
gonna move around a little bit. I I cann't disagree,
But Shannon came back, came back like a man, just said,
just play better football, basically. I mean, that's true. Brandon
Browner is the least likable, the worst free agent signing

(51:05):
of this NFL season. The Patriots had a had a
chance to just keep him, he wouldn't have been a
free agent. He had an option in his contract, and
they decided not to keep him, and everyone you know, obviously,
Oh what are you guys gonna do without Brandon Browner?
They're they're gonna be in trouble. And it's another reminder.
If Bill Belichick doesn't want your players, maybe you shouldn't

(51:25):
want him either. That's a that's a good that's that's
a good hot take, Greg, I go for two points
every time, stop on every time, Jessel nixt your uncle.
Let's do stuff in my sleeping bag. It's all good, baby,
baby back. It's a good one. I like when the
name dropped me. I love it. I love it. That

(51:46):
was that was a great that was a great song. That. Yeah,
that's an air of darkness to that one, A little
bit like a surprising twist at the end. You know,
you don't think he's gonna get into sleeping bag. I
think that's why the name dropped me, because they knew,
they knew it was kind of uh had that twist.
We're at America's favorite part of the show. Um predictions,

(52:06):
the predictions. And this is this is a new segment.
We haven't repeated one yet. I like this. It's called
friendly wager. And I thought, you know, since we're we're friends,
we're best friends. We're friends, best friends, were friends best friends. Uh,
if I was just your friend and not your best friend,
I wouldn't put up with the parking situation here at
the NFL network best friends, and I thought, so let's

(52:27):
just do a friendly wager. Let's go back and forth.
Let's pick three or four games and just give me
your prediction and have like a friendly wager. You know,
I mean you you go ahead, you can you start Greg? Okay, Um.
I think the Bucks are going to take care of
business this week. They're gonna beat the Saints. H Jameis
Winston is playing really well, and and I'll make a
you know, a friendly wager if the Bucks don't do that. Yeah,

(52:50):
you can come over and Emmica, Well, we'll cook your dinner.
You know, we'll have we'll have a nice little time. Okay.
So so if you're wrong, then you'll you also have
me over for dinner. You and your wife cook from me.
So that's a nice that's a nice friendly wager. I've
got one. Steelers over Bengals. Steelers over Bengals, for sure.
This is a must win for us, even though we're
in Cincinnati. It's gonna be tough game. But I'll tell
you what friendly wager if I'm wrong, if the Steelers

(53:12):
don't beat the Bengals in Sinci, I'll kill a box
of turtles no more than twenty, no fewer than a
dozen turtles in a cardboard box. I will set it
on fire and kick it around for a while until
those little jerks wish they were dead, which they will
be right after they wish it, and then I'll gain
their turtle power. That's my friendly wish. So that's if
the Steelers lose. If they lose, okay, that seems fair.

(53:34):
I think they're gonna win. That seems fair. Uh, the
Bills going to Philadelphia this week. Big Lashawn McCoy reunion
said he wouldn't wouldn't shake Chip Kelly's hand even if
Chip offered it. But he's not gonna need to because
he's gonna drop a hundred and seventy five yards and
his play is going to do the talking. And the
Bills are going to win this game. And if they don't, uh,

(53:59):
then this is a year that I am not gonna
get you like we used to get these great presents,
but your birthdays right before Christmas, so it kind of
gets ignored a lot. I would say, you know, it's
just a few days before and in this year, you know,
we'll make sure, you know, we'll get you something nothing,
nothing big, but we'll get you something nice for your
birthday so it doesn't just kind of like slip through
the cracks once again, Thank you, Greg. That's that's that's nice.

(54:20):
I hope you're wrong so that I get a nice
birthday present from you. Um December twenty twods. If you
guys are wondering my my next pick, I'm going to
predict Titans over Jets. Okay, a friendly wager, Titans will
beat the Jets in New York. I'm so confident that
if they don't, if the Jets somehow pull up this gaming,
it's a team that is much worse than they are
in their own building. I will eat my grandpa's warmings

(54:44):
one by one, starting with the most difficult to earn
and then going all the way to his purple heart.
I will eat them. I will eat them and then
defecate on the JFK's eternal flan friendly wager. Yeah, that's
what I do. That's it is dramatic. Uh, let's talk
Broncos Raiders Big Game. It's my upset pick of the week.

(55:05):
You got the Raiders of the Broncos. I think I
think the Raiders are gonna go in there and I think, uh,
they're gonna take care of business. And I just think
brock Ey swallers do for a bad game. And if he,
if he, you know, plays well and in the Broncos,
ah do win. I don't. I don't really know what

(55:28):
to get you at some point, but but I think
just my friendship is something that's important to you, and
so I'll keep giving you that, Like I'll continue to
host this show. But if if the Raiders do, when,
you're gonna take it away? Yeah, okay, okay, that's uh.
That doesn't seem like a friendly wager. That seems almost
like a threat um to me. But I'm gonna I'm
just gonna keep going with a bit as if, as

(55:50):
if you committed to it as much as I did,
I'm gonna say Carolina over Atlanta, friendly wager. The Panthers
will continue their undefeated one last season at home against
the lively Falcons. But if they don't, if they don't win,
friendly wager, I will track down and destroy every single
copy of The Wizard of Oz DVD, VHS, film print.
I don't care. I'm gonna find them, collect them, and

(56:12):
destroy them so that no one ever has to watch
that hack ass creptacular ever again. It's a bad movie,
full of wildly and accurate and science and anti Semitism,
and I will destroy them faster than you can tap
your heels together three times and say, oh that that's intense.

(56:34):
That is a friendly wager, all right. Finally, Uh, Patriots
Texans this week, Patriots going to Houston. I think they're
going to get back on the winning track. Patriots that
is they lost a couple of games in a row,
feel very confident that they can figure out a way
to stop a Brian hoyer lad offense. And and we'll
make a friendly wager. You moved into your apartment recently,

(56:54):
so you know, I'll get you a nice housewarming gift. Okay,
like like what? Like? What would you get my? Like
a book? I guess, could be a house for me,
maybe us some artwork or something like that grandfather's like
a bath mat? Yeah, I would love it. One of
your grandfather's paintings. Um would you've never given me? Um,
even though you've given it to ex girlfriends, so you

(57:15):
don't even care about anymore? Uh? My last one? Uh
friendly wager here bears over redskins. I think I think
that's that's a lock for me. Friendly wager. Just for fun,
I mean, I'm sure the bears are gonna win. I
can smell the w but if they don't, Just for fun,
I will ghost ride my car into a grocery store.
I'm not gonna say which grocery store, but probably a Vans.

(57:38):
And I won't say when, but it will be during
the day when they're busy, but not too busy to
notice my whip come flying down Aisle five with a
cinder block on the accelerator. Just because I'm not driving
doesn't mean I'm not in the driver's seat. You dig
Compreendi see if you play? And that was friendly wager.

(58:04):
That was Dean Rosenthal, Greg's older brother, a composer in
his own right. Um, Greg, before we leave, this has
been a great episode. I think it's been a lot
of fun. Hopefully the NFL doesn't get too upset about
my flaunting of their hip hop rules. Um, but before
we go, Um, we didn't really talk about that much
about it. How are my god children? How are your
son and daughter Walker and Ellis Well? One part of

(58:27):
Thanksgiving that I wanted to tell you about was like,
at one point, I'm with my mother in law and
