Speaker 1: Welcome to episode twelve of the Rosenthal and jessel Nick
Speaker 1: Vanity Project RB. It's the latest possible postgame show two
Speaker 1: Bengal Steelers. Mama's don't let your babies grow up to
Speaker 1: be cowboys, strangle them in the crib. This should be
Speaker 1: a great show. We've got a lot to dive into
Speaker 1: with Bengal Steelers, a lot of passion. Anthony is on
Speaker 1: some sort of medication after having minor surgery earlier today
Speaker 1: that could make things a little interesting, little bit, little
Speaker 1: little little goofball today had a had some little plastic
Speaker 1: surgery done. I've got a I've got a next scar
Speaker 1: from a surgery I had over a year ago that
Speaker 1: I regret having. Uh. They told me it was necessary
Speaker 1: and uh. And now I had to go to a
Speaker 1: plastic surgeon and have them take out some scar tissue.
Speaker 1: And I turned down the pain meds. I don't like
Speaker 1: vikad in. I I took a I had to think
Speaker 1: of Zanex. You gotta lay down on this table. They
Speaker 1: they put a shot in your neck and then cut away.
Speaker 1: So if you have a Zanex you can just lay
Speaker 1: there and like kind of deal with it if you
Speaker 1: do it without which I did. The first time. It
Speaker 1: is miserable, but it was. It wasn't fun. Uh And
Speaker 1: now I've got to deal with this for a for
Speaker 1: a few weeks. Let it heal. I do not enjoy it.
Speaker 1: But I I turned down the vicat and I do
Speaker 1: not like Vikadin. I would rather be able to use
Speaker 1: the bathroom. I don't know if you have any know
Speaker 1: anything about viking in It blocks you up, blocks you up. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be clear. You didn't have plastic surgery the first
Speaker 1: time around? It was a health related is it was
Speaker 1: a health related and then the scar healed poorly. You're
Speaker 1: just naturally you know that good looking or whatever? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do not. I don't touch you know, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't get this painting retouched. This is a this
Speaker 1: is a sixteen chapel situation on my face that I
Speaker 1: would never have anyone mess with but throat scar. If
Speaker 1: you saw the special, if you see me on TV,
Speaker 1: maybe you notice something And I thought, what was that?
Speaker 1: And someone tried to cut his throat? Yes, but that's
Speaker 1: not what this is from. Um, So yeah, I'm I
Speaker 1: hate hate surgeons. Well it's a big day here in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Uh, the Rams are coming to town. That's
Speaker 1: big news. I met the mayor. He was actually here
Speaker 1: on the NFL network Angelis Property. Yeah, he came to
Speaker 1: do an interview and I happened to walk by him,
Speaker 1: and he says he said he knew who I was.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe he was just saying, he said,
Speaker 1: he said, another guy in his car listens to my
Speaker 1: other podcast. Actually, do you have another podcast? That's crazy?
Speaker 1: I didn't know you started one since we started this. Um,
Speaker 1: I I feel bad for the people of St. Louis.
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you that. Um, I love St. Louis.
Speaker 1: They're a great comedy town. Whenever I go there that
Speaker 1: they're awesome. And I think that the Rams really threw
Speaker 1: him under the bus. People in St. Louis are upset today.
Speaker 1: No one, of course, is taking it harder than Lawrence Phillips.
Speaker 1: Let's get to what was cut. That was Corny Barnett. Uh,
Speaker 1: no hip hop today or in the beginning. That was
Speaker 1: Corney Barnett one of the singles of the year on
Speaker 1: a lot of lists. I know that song. I I
Speaker 1: downloaded that months ago when I was going through best
Speaker 1: of Corney Barnett, an Australian rock singer who is very impressive.
Speaker 1: It's a great song. That is a great song, Greg,
Speaker 1: way to go. I do not regret letting you pick
Speaker 1: the music this week for once. What was cut last
Speaker 1: week was pretty clean. We've got a list here which
Speaker 1: would be hilarious. Just as a sentence, I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: just the sentence I have written, which is gonna have
Speaker 1: to be bleeped, and I'll try to describe it. Uh,
Speaker 1: the sentence Greg sent me what was cut just says
Speaker 1: comma head Comma slap common, comma singular, comma in quotes.
Speaker 1: Uh so again that was the F word, a word
Speaker 1: Nixon head will say, slap Nixon, Nixon's plural, Nixon singular.
Speaker 1: And then in uh an F bomb with an I
Speaker 1: n g um. And then we also cut an entire
Speaker 1: segment we talked about Ragnar the Vikings mascots released a
Speaker 1: video talking about how he was switching allegiance now to
Speaker 1: the to the Packers, which I think really put them
Speaker 1: over the hump against the Vikings. And uh, and we
Speaker 1: had an entire thing. I'm not gonna say why it
Speaker 1: got cut, but it was obvious afterwards that we needed
Speaker 1: to cut the entire things. So apologies to Ragnar, apologies
Speaker 1: to cheeseheads, but we uh we did something that's that
Speaker 1: crossed the line in the eyes of ar Goodell. That's
Speaker 1: our as in Roger, let's get the headlines. That was
Speaker 1: the Walkman. That was a song I recommended to Greg
Speaker 1: five years ago and he loves me worlds. It was
Speaker 1: like eleven or twelve years ago. You have such a
Speaker 1: bad memory. It was its actually the I remember something
Speaker 1: for once. It was when we were going to uh
Speaker 1: Chris Nelson's wedding, which was at least a decade ago.
Speaker 1: I remember you you played a couple of songs on
Speaker 1: the way there and just like cranked them up PC
Speaker 1: eight or something on the way there, and that always
Speaker 1: stuck with me. That is the greatest, you know, if
Speaker 1: you're if you're ever like in some you know, it's
Speaker 1: a great workout sort of song. But I like, you know,
Speaker 1: when I'm driving into work on Sundays before a football Sunday,
Speaker 1: I like to listen to a couple of songs that
Speaker 1: would just like get you fired up or I don't know,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm an idiot like that, and that's like
Speaker 1: the number one song of that of all times. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: you really got your finger on the pulse of ten
Speaker 1: years ago headlines. We got some breaking news. We are
Speaker 1: here for a special report because Anthony lost his damn
Speaker 1: mind last weekend. We need to dive in deep. Two
Speaker 1: Bengals Steelers. If you know me, you know I'm a
Speaker 1: giant Steelers fan, so so hard I have to watch
Speaker 1: the games by myself, and luckily this week I chose
Speaker 1: out of the blue to watch the game sober. Normally
Speaker 1: I'm not like I get drunk for the games, but
Speaker 1: I'll have a couple of beers. I did not. I
Speaker 1: just drank some water, sat there, relaxed, watch the game,
Speaker 1: and then lost my damn mind. Where I think I
Speaker 1: think the Lord for once that I did not drink,
Speaker 1: because I would still be drinking. I don't believe in him,
Speaker 1: but I can still thank him, do you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Like, I don't believe in thanking people, but
Speaker 1: I still do it sometimes just for the pr that
Speaker 1: I get, you know, I want people to like me. Uh.
Speaker 1: This was This was a crazy game. It got crazy
Speaker 1: right away. You knew tensions were high going in the
Speaker 1: Bengals and the Steelers do not like each other. A
Speaker 1: lot of injuries, a lot of back and forth. Before
Speaker 1: this game, people were pumped, Cincinnati was desperate as a city,
Speaker 1: and it started to go wrong almost a media almost
Speaker 1: right away, even before the game, the officials are standing
Speaker 1: out in middle of the field as if it's like
Speaker 1: the Bloods and the Crips, trying to keep the two
Speaker 1: teams apart, like it just like trying to look all mean.
Speaker 1: And then they were right because very early in the game,
Speaker 1: Reggie Nelson, the Bengals safety, got pushed out of bounds
Speaker 1: on a certain play and he kind of ran into
Speaker 1: Mike Munchak, the offensive line coach for the Steelers, which
Speaker 1: happens all the time. Coaches get run into and Mike Munchak,
Speaker 1: that little or that big, big whatever he is, uh,
Speaker 1: grabbed Reggie Nelson by the hair and kind of shoved him.
Speaker 1: It was it was pretty clear what happened, and Mike
Speaker 1: Munchak really started this whole thing, and he got a
Speaker 1: fifteen yard penalty. You know, I'm on team Munchack, team
Speaker 1: on Chuck for sure on this one. He's trying to
Speaker 1: protect his player out of bounds, all right. If you
Speaker 1: watch it. The guys coming towards him again, he pushed
Speaker 1: him out late. I think it was mad about the
Speaker 1: stiff arm that he got in the face going out
Speaker 1: of bounds. He's coming towards the player, Munchak gets in
Speaker 1: the way, and they flagged him for pulling hair. All right,
Speaker 1: and in my book, pulling hairs what football is all about.
Speaker 1: We continue with this special report because Anthony lost his
Speaker 1: mind talking about Bengal or Bengals Steelers. The action continued
Speaker 1: throughout the game. After Munchak clearly started a Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame player sullying his name. Then later in the its
Speaker 1: not fair. He did not start it. It It was already
Speaker 1: going on. He may have exacerbated it a little bit,
Speaker 1: but that that was kind of the first thing to fall.
Speaker 1: And then things really ramped up uh in the second
Speaker 1: half in the third quarter when Ryan Shazir, an incredible
Speaker 1: player who had an incredible game, knocked out Giovanni Bernard
Speaker 1: with a big hit after Bernard had a catch. Shaser
Speaker 1: was not penalized for the play. Now he was not,
Speaker 1: and I'm on team Shazir shacker, and you can believe
Speaker 1: that Giovanni Bernard turned and started to run Okay, he
Speaker 1: wasn't a helpless receiver. And yes, Shazier could have been
Speaker 1: penalized for lowering his head and leading with the crown
Speaker 1: of the helmet. But what else was he supposed to do?
Speaker 1: Bernoran has short hair, nothing to pull on. We take
Speaker 1: you back to this special report where Anthony lost his
Speaker 1: mind watching the Bengals and Steelers game. I thought the
Speaker 1: ugly moment of the night was really when Ben Roethlisberger
Speaker 1: got knocked out of the game. And this comes from
Speaker 1: after a hit from Vontes Berfect, who will get to
Speaker 1: later was involved, you know, took down Roethlisberger, maybe maybe
Speaker 1: hit him a little extra. Roethlisberger injures his shoulder. Of course,
Speaker 1: he's writhing on the pain, writhing on the ground in pain,
Speaker 1: ends up getting carted off the field, and he had
Speaker 1: a beer thrown on him as he was on his
Speaker 1: way to at least one at least one beer. Here's
Speaker 1: here's what I'm saying about this. First of all, I
Speaker 1: knew this was coming, all right, this is this is
Speaker 1: the point that I stopped enjoying the game, because when
Speaker 1: Ben is out, it doesn't matter if we win or not.
Speaker 1: We're done. We're done for the season. Landry is not
Speaker 1: taking us anywhere. That was right before. That was actually
Speaker 1: right after I texted you, Yeah, exactly Landry. First, let
Speaker 1: me just say Landry could not take the Steelers to
Speaker 1: Arby's much less the a f C Championship game. Andry Jones.
Speaker 1: That is Landry Jones. That's I calm Landry because I
Speaker 1: was a big a full uh Friday night light. Yes,
Speaker 1: what's the saying, full hearts, big eyes can't lose? What
Speaker 1: is it clear eyes, full hearts can't lose. Is that
Speaker 1: it clear eyes, full hearts? Yeah, yeah, clear eyes. That
Speaker 1: was that's why they got canceled. Okay, Greg texted me
Speaker 1: every time Greg's texting me to say, hey, Steves are
Speaker 1: looking good. You guys are gonna win, and a blowout,
Speaker 1: we lose the game and we start losing. As soon
Speaker 1: as he texted me, I almost texted you back to
Speaker 1: say like stop this, stop this. And then he got
Speaker 1: hurt the play. I don't think it was I don't
Speaker 1: think the hit was dirty, all right. I think Ben
Speaker 1: should have gotten rid of that ball before we got hit.
Speaker 1: But after he gets hit, you see reverse angle of
Speaker 1: the play. Perfect throws a knee into that shoulder after
Speaker 1: he gets up. Perfect is as dirty as dirty gets.
Speaker 1: Perfect is the pig pen from the peanuts of the NFL.
Speaker 1: Like he's got like a like a cloud of dust
Speaker 1: around him wherever he goes. That is how dirty he is.
Speaker 1: And now let me talk about Ben getting a beer
Speaker 1: thrown on him. Let me talk about Cincinnati for a second.
Speaker 1: A place I've performed in, a place I have uh
Speaker 1: never enjoyed. Cincinnati is Kentucky. Sure they like to think
Speaker 1: they're high class, elite state like Ohio, but they are
Speaker 1: Kentucky through and through. Drink your beer, your blue grass mother,
Speaker 1: don't be throwing it at my boy, your Kentucky. You
Speaker 1: might not be playing in in Cincinnati. In Cincinnati again,
Speaker 1: I'm happy not to in that Cincinnati. In Baltimore, I
Speaker 1: don't need it. You can drive to Cleveland and watch me.
Speaker 1: You can take a bus. The Bengals fans, you know,
Speaker 1: they did not cover themselves in glory by throwing the
Speaker 1: beer on Ben Roethlisburger. There were other reports during that
Speaker 1: game of fans peanut on each other, which is a
Speaker 1: strange thing to have. Guy, Yeah, guy got arrested for
Speaker 1: peeing on the guy in front of him, and there
Speaker 1: was a fight waiting to get into the game between
Speaker 1: a couple of people. And what I love about this,
Speaker 1: what makes me, what backs up my Kentucky theory, is
Speaker 1: that it wasn't Bengal on Steeler fan crime, which I understand.
Speaker 1: You know, you're there, you're excited, you see another fan
Speaker 1: you want to get, you get upset. It was bengalong
Speaker 1: Bengal crime. They're so inbred. Wow that they fight each other.
Speaker 1: They just don't they don't know the difference. They don't
Speaker 1: even they can't even recognize each other's jerseys. You can
Speaker 1: talk about dancing on another team's grave. These four Bengals fans,
Speaker 1: they were all riled up. They had been told all
Speaker 1: week that the Steelers were a dirty team, and they
Speaker 1: were fired up. But it got so ugly in Cincinnati
Speaker 1: that the team actually had to make an announcement over
Speaker 1: the loudspeaker to get their act together, which reminded me
Speaker 1: of one of the greatest speeches and moments in Cincinnati
Speaker 1: Bengals history. Well, the next person that sees anybodies, what
Speaker 1: do you think on those pretty old warn about get
Speaker 1: him out of here. You don't let it play they
Speaker 1: had to be reminded where they were from. That was
Speaker 1: like an amazing reaction the crowd just his energy. That
Speaker 1: was like Obama and Grant Park, like the elected. They
Speaker 1: went absolutely crazy. I love that was Sam White, of course,
Speaker 1: their former coach, just laying it down. What wasn't exciting?
Speaker 1: Time to be alive. It gets worse. Continuing this special
Speaker 1: report of Anthony losing his mind during the Bengals and
Speaker 1: Steelers game, Vante is Perfect really put it into another
Speaker 1: stratosphere of craziness when he knocked out Antonio Brown one
Speaker 1: of the costliest dumbest penalties in NFL history. The Steelers
Speaker 1: were very likely going to lose that game with eighteen
Speaker 1: seconds left and no time out, and it kick started
Speaker 1: a couple of penalties that moved the ball forward. Uh.
Speaker 1: Adam Jones of course, also penalized on that play perfect.
Speaker 1: You know he it was such a late hit. It
Speaker 1: was very obviously late hit. You could debate whether he's
Speaker 1: definitely going for his head. But Adam Jones then loses
Speaker 1: his mind on Instagram, loses his mind on the field
Speaker 1: for going after Joey Porter. Let's start. Let's start with perfect,
Speaker 1: all right, because that hit was pure stupidity. The only
Speaker 1: thing would have been dumber. Is it perfect to cause
Speaker 1: a safety? Remember when he intercepted Landry Jones and then
Speaker 1: and then ran it back through his own end zone
Speaker 1: into the tunnel. If that had been a safety. If
Speaker 1: that had been a safety, it would have been more.
Speaker 1: It would have been a more intelligent football move than
Speaker 1: his hit. And Antonio Brown and and to everyone online
Speaker 1: who made a joke about how perfect rhymes with perfect,
Speaker 1: that is not a good joke. Now for Adam Jones
Speaker 1: losing his mind on Instagram, this I actually really I've
Speaker 1: got no problem with this. Play played the clip of
Speaker 1: Adam Jones. He deleted this off Instagram, But play play
Speaker 1: what he deleted. You got Jerry put something? Everybody then
Speaker 1: with somebody to say something to him. He don't post
Speaker 1: me on Phil Now this is great. I've got no
Speaker 1: problem with this. You know, you lose a game like that.
Speaker 1: You know it's not just posting the Instagram. Here's what
Speaker 1: he's doing. You lose a game, you want to sit
Speaker 1: in your car by yourself, hold your phone in front
Speaker 1: of your face and yelled at for a few minutes.
Speaker 1: Plus he's got that long hair Team pac Man I
Speaker 1: am afraid no ghosts. Let's play. Was it ten minutes later? Yeah,
Speaker 1: ten minutes after this happened. By the way, he refused
Speaker 1: to speak to the media. He immediately got out of
Speaker 1: the stadium. I've never seen anything like this. Happened so fast.
Speaker 1: I was writing, you know, the post game after this happened,
Speaker 1: and he that Instagram was up within a half hour
Speaker 1: of the game being over. He was already in his car,
Speaker 1: so he posts that that's up for about five or
Speaker 1: ten minutes. Everyone listens to it. He deletes it, and
Speaker 1: then he posts this, right, I'm good now. Um, I
Speaker 1: still believe it should have got a player for talking
Speaker 1: to a coach that's on the field. Now what I
Speaker 1: wondercause you don't really get to see what he was
Speaker 1: flagged for, but it must have been big, you know.
Speaker 1: I thought I assumed he like pushed a ref when
Speaker 1: he was trying to get to pool exactly. That's exactly what.
Speaker 1: The refs don't want to throw that flag. They've already
Speaker 1: thrown a flag that's potentially a game winner for the Steelers.
Speaker 1: I think he would. I think they hit a fifty
Speaker 1: yard field goal in that situation. But uh, that second
Speaker 1: flag it must have been blatant. And I think he
Speaker 1: Jerry Porter as he called him, or actually Joey Porter
Speaker 1: made him crazy and he just sort of jumped at him.
Speaker 1: They were already upset about Joey Porter dating back to
Speaker 1: the last time they played the Steelers in Cincinnati, and
Speaker 1: your boy Joey Porter is doing the crab walk all
Speaker 1: over the field. They're thinking, what this is unprofessional wire
Speaker 1: coaches out there, and I think what what happened is
Speaker 1: exactly what you said. He pushed the official. The official
Speaker 1: from what I could see, didn't even know who pushed them,
Speaker 1: and they just like reached for the flag started and
Speaker 1: then turned around. And it's on Adam Jones because he
Speaker 1: goes crazy. I just want to know what what sort
Speaker 1: of substances did he take in the ten minutes between
Speaker 1: posting that first Like, there's no way he did not
Speaker 1: smoke between that first instagram and the second one. Well,
Speaker 1: you know it wasn't you know, it wasn't synthetic marijuana
Speaker 1: because he would have been posting that from the hospital. Uh,
Speaker 1: that's that's a that's something we won't be able to
Speaker 1: talk about. But if you if you follow your if
Speaker 1: you follow your news, you know I'm talking about the Patriots. Please, uh,
Speaker 1: let's keep us going. Adam Jones doubled down on his
Speaker 1: craziness during the week, saying that Antonio Brown was faking
Speaker 1: it all along. On the Dan Patrick Show, he says,
Speaker 1: you can even see it. He was laughing at me
Speaker 1: and he winked. He said, he winked. That's my favorite.
Speaker 1: He said, Brent winked at him on the field while
Speaker 1: he's being treated for a concussion. That's your evidence. Is
Speaker 1: Pacman Jones a doctor? Brandon find out for me. I'll wait,
Speaker 1: is he a doctor? Nope? No? Are you sure? I
Speaker 1: thought for sure he was a licensed doctor, which Bengals
Speaker 1: player am I thinking of? Anyway? The rest of my
Speaker 1: argument is all Pacman Jones is a doctor slash football
Speaker 1: player and is therefore non applicable. Next question, nothing is
Speaker 1: less logical than Pacman Jones is tripled down, which he
Speaker 1: did on Inside the NFL where he said he's only
Speaker 1: going to apologize to Antonio Brown if he misses the
Speaker 1: Steelers game. As if as if him being in the
Speaker 1: concussion protocol. By the way, he's not practicing this week.
Speaker 1: He no one's seen him. He obviously had a concussion.
Speaker 1: His eyes were rolling in the back back. He was down.
Speaker 1: He was down and done. And the idea that Brown
Speaker 1: would appreciate this apology now would be like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you, and now it's we're all good. Skip the
Speaker 1: game just to get the apology. Now that I missed
Speaker 1: the game, Uh, let's get another update as I continue
Speaker 1: to lose my mind. This is while everything down is up,
Speaker 1: up is down? Brown, Antonio Brown, my favorite player in
Speaker 1: the leagu currently responds to this. Now, Greg, what was
Speaker 1: the response, Well, he decided to put something up on
Speaker 1: Twitter and Instagram where it's him dressed, uh, looking like
Speaker 1: Kanye West essentially, but it's Antonio Brown with with a
Speaker 1: helmet on. Because one of Adam Jones as many illogical
Speaker 1: things was that Antonio Brown should win a Grammy for
Speaker 1: his actingserved a Grammy, And yeah, it's it's it's Antonio
Speaker 1: Brown's head photoshopped onto Kanye West body. Now, I love
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown more than my own god children by a mile,
Speaker 1: But that is not the perfect response. As it's being built.
Speaker 1: Everyone's an Antonio Brown is the perfect response. It would
Speaker 1: have been perfect if he has put his head on
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift's body. I'd like to see that that's hot.
Speaker 1: I'm just imagining Brown staying up until five am, screwing
Speaker 1: around with photoshop and cackling to himself. That in itself
Speaker 1: means he's failing concussion protocol. Let's go back to Joey
Speaker 1: Porter with another update. This is like a serial style
Speaker 1: making the murderer, just breaking down everything that happened as
Speaker 1: Anthony lost his That's exactly what this is. I don't
Speaker 1: know why you had to say it, explain it. That's
Speaker 1: exactly what is going on right now. Our hero, Joey Porter,
Speaker 1: your favorite coach on the Steelers, maybe other than Mike Tomlin,
Speaker 1: is facing a possible find who knows, maybe even a suspension.
Speaker 1: The NFL is looking into disciplining Joey Porter for his
Speaker 1: actions going onto the field, which, if you look at
Speaker 1: Damna Scheck, our boy Dave Damnaschek tweeted this a picture
Speaker 1: of of the field of play when Joey Porter's and
Speaker 1: when the flag was thrown. Half of the Bengals coaching
Speaker 1: staff is also on the field. They're not as close
Speaker 1: as Joey Porter. They don't have the balls to get
Speaker 1: that close. But Joey Porter's right there. So many coaches
Speaker 1: are on the field. That is ridiculous. I say, great,
Speaker 1: find him. There is no amount of money that makes
Speaker 1: it not worth it. The amount does not exist. Whatever
Speaker 1: the mine tunes out to be, porters should just paid double. Hell,
Speaker 1: he's still getting paid by the Dolphins. He can afford
Speaker 1: to run on the field during every playoff game for
Speaker 1: the rest of his life. Kaddell can decided he's gonna
Speaker 1: cut off Joey Porter's hands over this, and it would
Speaker 1: still be worth it. Joey is still laughing right now.
Speaker 1: Several Bengals blame Marvin Lewis after the game to our
Speaker 1: reporter NFL dot Com NFL Media's Michael Silver, who's has
Speaker 1: great contacts inside that locker room, and some of the
Speaker 1: players off the record or no off unnamed sources, I
Speaker 1: should say, but some of the players said Marvin Lewis
Speaker 1: is basically running the clown college over there, and some
Speaker 1: of these players like Perfect and Adam Jones really haven't
Speaker 1: been kept in line throughout the year. You could almost
Speaker 1: see this sort of thing coming. Not even a clown college.
Speaker 1: I would say, it's a clown like remedial school. I mean,
Speaker 1: they couldn't these these clowns couldn't get into clown college.
Speaker 1: That's how ridiculous is even Lewis during the during this
Speaker 1: meltdown at the end, he looked like a guy whose
Speaker 1: wife had had too much to drink and she's starting
Speaker 1: a fight with the whole bar. But he's not gonna
Speaker 1: say anything because he's got to live with her, and
Speaker 1: he'd rather the entire bar hate his guts then have
Speaker 1: to live with an angry wife. It's it's almost commendable.
Speaker 1: But now let me tell you about the difference between
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis and Mike Tomlin. This is a play we
Speaker 1: have not talked about, which was William Gay getting getting
Speaker 1: penalized for celebrating a touchdown that did not exist. All right,
Speaker 1: so he gets totally lost in the shuffle here, but
Speaker 1: it's an important piece of athleticism. Pittsburghs William Gay picks
Speaker 1: up what he thinks is a fumble, scores what he
Speaker 1: thinks is a touchdown, and does the same dance that
Speaker 1: he got penalized for the last time they played the Bengals,
Speaker 1: the exact same dance, knowing what's going to happen, even
Speaker 1: after they called back the touchdown and it said it
Speaker 1: didn't count. William Gay has no remorse, no regrets. Now
Speaker 1: here's the difference, Greg. When Marvin Lewis's players get out
Speaker 1: of hand, they start fights. Mike Tomlins players get out
Speaker 1: of hand. There's too much dancing. Team Tomlin, Team Gay,
Speaker 1: team footloose. That was Antonio Brown, one of his Grammy
Speaker 1: winning hits. Yeah, right now we are out of the
Speaker 1: commercially licensed uh music. We can only play two of
Speaker 1: those per show if you're new to the show. And
Speaker 1: now we're into NFL licensed music, and that includes any
Speaker 1: music played, you know, by players of course like Antonio Brown. Hey,
Speaker 1: by the way, Antonio, it's not hip hop. Just if
Speaker 1: you just say the word hip hop over and over
Speaker 1: kind of his kind of his UH. I wouldn't say
Speaker 1: one last thing about the Steelers game. It was, it was.
Speaker 1: It was unpleasant to watch for a long time. I
Speaker 1: just wanted it to be over after after Ben got hurt.
Speaker 1: I didn't even care if the Steelers one. I just
Speaker 1: needed the Bengals to lose, do you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I just didn't think any satisfaction. I didn't with any satisfaction,
Speaker 1: like I would have been upset this too as it
Speaker 1: lost but not to the Bengals. So at the end
Speaker 1: there it was just it was just like the clouds
Speaker 1: had opened up and God said, Anthony, you're right, I
Speaker 1: don't exist, and here's a win. Here's a win for you.
Speaker 1: I went to go look and find your your text
Speaker 1: after the game. You're right, you said, uh some swears,
Speaker 1: and then he said, I didn't even enjoy that. I
Speaker 1: didn't enjoy it. That the most Bengals thing ever. It
Speaker 1: was it was, it was the most Bengals thing ever.
Speaker 1: It was the most Bengal's way to lose a game.
Speaker 1: Watching Bengals fans crying was was was very was very
Speaker 1: pleasant to me. I God, I hate them. I hate
Speaker 1: them so much. It feels wrong for the you know,
Speaker 1: Steelers fans who act like they've had, you know, damnaged.
Speaker 1: I always talks about how how many tough losses the
Speaker 1: Steelers have it over the years. Try being a Bengals fan.
Speaker 1: They haven't won a game in twenty six years. That's
Speaker 1: in excruciating ways to lose. And some teams with a
Speaker 1: lot a lot of bad history lost this week. The
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings, of course, who who have made it to
Speaker 1: the playoffs twenty times since their last Super Bowl. They're
Speaker 1: like Bengals fans just sad. Give them a little bit
Speaker 1: of hope. Uh. They of course lost on what is
Speaker 1: now one of the most famous field goal misses in
Speaker 1: NFL history, Clare Walsh from twenty seven yards left. Hash snap, good,
Speaker 1: spot down, walfsh just kick his up and it is
Speaker 1: no good. He missed it. Are you kidding me? The
Speaker 1: season can and like that, he missed it left and
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks are off to Charlotte. That was so
Speaker 1: devastating that Richard Sherman looked like he had made it,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Richard Sherman is on the
Speaker 1: ground like he can't believe it, like like he just
Speaker 1: lost a child. It was that was that was pretty devastating.
Speaker 1: It was tough, but Blair Walsh the kicker, one of
Speaker 1: the best kickers in the league. That was the shortest
Speaker 1: kick to ever, the shortest do or die kick to
Speaker 1: ever lose a playoff game in NFL history. And he
Speaker 1: did a good job with the media afterwards. He talked
Speaker 1: and was very professional answered the questions. Put it all
Speaker 1: on himself. Reports after that though, after he was kind
Speaker 1: of done with the media and everyone walked away as
Speaker 1: that he broke down crying in the arms of you know,
Speaker 1: his teammates trying to console him. Really like a kicker's nightmare.
Speaker 1: Kicker's nightmare. But you know what he acted. Walsh acted
Speaker 1: exactly how kickers should behave. I know, I give a
Speaker 1: quarterbacks a lot of guff on this sad You're mad
Speaker 1: at eLife for crying? Yeah, I I got mad when
Speaker 1: quarterbacks don't act like quarterbacks, when they're not like cocky,
Speaker 1: you know, when they when they when they say things
Speaker 1: they shouldn't say. But this is exactly how kickers should behave.
Speaker 1: Walt should be in Canton for this, and his bronze
Speaker 1: bust should be of him crying. I think that would
Speaker 1: be that would be perfect edited. Because Greg broke down crying,
Speaker 1: that was me. That was me watching the end of
Speaker 1: that Bengals game. That was me at the very end.
Speaker 1: I just you know, I hit record on my cell
Speaker 1: phone and just I was inspired and I dropped. I
Speaker 1: dropped a track. Uh What's next? That was aggressively awful,
Speaker 1: that music that you created, and Uh. Robert Griffin the
Speaker 1: third this week did something that was much more passive
Speaker 1: aggressive his final game in Washington came, you know, with
Speaker 1: a whimper. He was on the sidelines again, inactive for
Speaker 1: the Redskins playoff game starting rupt to. He hasn't played
Speaker 1: all year, right, he hasn't. He hadn't touched the field.
Speaker 1: He has not played. He was active for one or
Speaker 1: two games for some reason, but he never played at all.
Speaker 1: He's always been the third string quarterback this year. He
Speaker 1: kept his mouth shut for the most part throughout the
Speaker 1: year and just kind of went about his business as
Speaker 1: your boy. Kirk Cousins made himself a lot of money
Speaker 1: and so r G three. You know, it was like
Speaker 1: at one point, this is a guy who had books
Speaker 1: written about him and the people thought was the future
Speaker 1: of the league in Washington and at all, Uh, just
Speaker 1: did not work out for him. They kept him on
Speaker 1: the team for some reason all season long, really for
Speaker 1: no purpose. And he left a couple of things in
Speaker 1: his locker afterwards. You know, people watch he cleaned out
Speaker 1: his locker, and he left two different messages in his locker. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, one kind of this this talk about all
Speaker 1: the things that he can do, and then and then
Speaker 1: another one. Really I think it was a message towards
Speaker 1: the media and and towards everyone in the world. He
Speaker 1: wanted to send a message. We didn't he have a
Speaker 1: He had a Bible verse, Yeah, he had. He had
Speaker 1: the Bible verse like a man should not lay down
Speaker 1: with another man. He left that up there, that was
Speaker 1: in there for sure, and then in the most passive
Speaker 1: aggressive way he left. He left like I didn't. I
Speaker 1: actually didn't realize that was a Bible verse. That was shock.
Speaker 1: You never read the Bible. You're kidding, You're kidding. You
Speaker 1: know what. You're not gonna believe this? Uh me? Neither
Speaker 1: me neither. But although I do steal one from every
Speaker 1: hotel room, I stand um this note. This is why
Speaker 1: I talked about quarterback should behave like quarterbacks. This is
Speaker 1: not the way quarterback should behave. And this is why
Speaker 1: Robert Griffin the third is the most embarrassing subway spokesperson
Speaker 1: of all time. Let me read this note, Brandon, give
Speaker 1: me something. You're sure there's been a lot of subway spokesperson, No,
Speaker 1: it's it's Strahan was there. Strahan was great. Strayhan was great,
Speaker 1: a great spokesperson. R G three is one of the worst,
Speaker 1: and right Michael Phelps embarrassed himself horribly with that, with
Speaker 1: that bong incident, and then uh, and then Jared, Jared
Speaker 1: from Subway, who I still could redeem himself. He's still
Speaker 1: a young guy. You don't know what's gonna happen when
Speaker 1: he gets out of prison. Uh. Maybe I'll start eating
Speaker 1: Subway again. We'll see, We'll see. But let me let
Speaker 1: me read this note, Brandon, give me some inspirational music.
Speaker 1: I saw this note and I immediately thought, we need
Speaker 1: a We need a dramatic reading from Anthony Jess Like,
Speaker 1: let's do it. People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self centered.
Speaker 1: Forgive them anyway. If you were kind, people may accuse
Speaker 1: you of selfish arterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you
Speaker 1: were successful, you will win some unfaith all friends, and
Speaker 1: some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. If you were honest and sincere,
Speaker 1: people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. What
Speaker 1: what you spend years creating others could destroy overnight create anyway.
Speaker 1: The good you do today will often be forgotten. Do
Speaker 1: good anyway. Give the best you have, and it will
Speaker 1: never be enough. Give your best anyway. In the final analysis,
Speaker 1: it's between you and God. It was never between you
Speaker 1: and them. Anyway, this should come with a picture of
Speaker 1: a cat hanging from a tree by a noose. That
Speaker 1: was Antonio Brown, Grammy winner Antonio Brown. I also wanted
Speaker 1: when I was reading that, I've raised my voice for
Speaker 1: certain aspects of it. That's because it was in all caps,
Speaker 1: and I read it the way r G three intended
Speaker 1: caps the bigger letters. I mean, he really spelled it
Speaker 1: out for you. Yeah, he was not trying to figure
Speaker 1: out that noose with a cat thing. Do you don't
Speaker 1: get the joke? You know that the post it was
Speaker 1: like hanging there and it's like an inspirational post was
Speaker 1: like a cat hanging from a tree by its claws.
Speaker 1: This is a cat hanging from a tree as if
Speaker 1: it's been lynched in some way, which is how a
Speaker 1: lot of cats meat. The Maker nine Lives. I don't
Speaker 1: think so, And I can prove it really helped up
Speaker 1: that joke by having you explain it afterwards, I helped
Speaker 1: you out not the joke joke was solid, Brandon, don't
Speaker 1: even mess with me today. Don't even mess some me
Speaker 1: with that. Speaking of pets, that meant untimely endings. Ah,
Speaker 1: poor air Bud. What happened the original, Well, the original died.
Speaker 1: The original died from cancer. But that's not untimely that
Speaker 1: that was right on time, Bill, this week he lived,
Speaker 1: but air Bud lived a great let. Air Bud was
Speaker 1: like the Bowie of dogs, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: He die at sixty nine. He Bowie had a great life.
Speaker 1: Airbud had a great life, just as inspirational each of him,
Speaker 1: and both really made their mark on the canvas of
Speaker 1: of life. Touchdo. Bill Belichick showed up to his press
Speaker 1: conference on Tuesday with the mysterious black I not a
Speaker 1: good week really for the Patriots, between the incident you
Speaker 1: alluded to earlier with Chandler Jones and now, uh strange
Speaker 1: black eye. He did not explain it. He said, the
Speaker 1: league does not he joked, the league does not require
Speaker 1: us to put coaches on their injury report. There's a
Speaker 1: little bit of that Belichick humor, you know what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about. Yeah, he's a hilarious guy. Hilarious. He actually
Speaker 1: walked through the locker room on Wednesday with boxing gloves on,
Speaker 1: so I guess that was continuing the joke, or maybe
Speaker 1: he was trying to make people think that that he
Speaker 1: got the black eye from training. Maybe he's doing some
Speaker 1: boxing training. I'm a I'm a believer in Bill Belichick
Speaker 1: that he would never have anything strange going on in
Speaker 1: his life that will lead to a black eye. So
Speaker 1: I choose to believe he was oxy. I actually know
Speaker 1: what happened, But the first rule is you don't talk
Speaker 1: about it, and the second rule, because you don't talk
Speaker 1: about it, don't Was that a duet? Do we find
Speaker 1: a third version of how many are there? I think
Speaker 1: that's it? Unfortunately that might be it. Okay, well, I
Speaker 1: think now we're gonna inspire people to create their own version.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be big. It's gonna be big. And if
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown wants that second Grammy, he knows what train
Speaker 1: to jump on. The train that's fifty nine miles away
Speaker 1: from Jacksonville. Thank you to uh the listeners that sent
Speaker 1: me some Google maps. What are you thinking them for?
Speaker 1: That's that's bare minhum. You would say, if you're fifty
Speaker 1: nine miles from Jacksonville, you would take a picture of
Speaker 1: the sign. That's something we're not. I would have thanked them.
Speaker 1: We're not sending them book from my uncle until there
Speaker 1: we get the actual sign. But it was something with
Speaker 1: your uncle better send them something. Though it doesn't have
Speaker 1: to be that book, but your uncle better get to
Speaker 1: the better get to the post office, drop some packages.
Speaker 1: So before Anthony's medication wears off even more, he's clearly
Speaker 1: happening during this show. We should we should talk about
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, who revealed this week a few things. He's
Speaker 1: never drink coffee in his life, which seems bizarre to me,
Speaker 1: never even tried it once as a kid, as if
Speaker 1: it's some sort of illicit drug. He's a big guy,
Speaker 1: He's a big Coca Coca Coca. And we also learned
Speaker 1: from some of his teammates and ex teammates about an
Speaker 1: intense ritual that he goes through with his receivers. He
Speaker 1: has them prepared in many different ways every possibility, and
Speaker 1: one of them is to stare directly into the sun
Speaker 1: during practice so that he can try to catch passes
Speaker 1: into the sun in case that ever happens in a game,
Speaker 1: which is hilarious. It's such an awful thing to do,
Speaker 1: just to staring to the sun, looking to the sun,
Speaker 1: and all my receivers look at it, look at that
Speaker 1: big ball, look at that giant star staring too it
Speaker 1: and it's not good for you. It's not gonna help
Speaker 1: you in the game. You're just gonna hurt your eyes
Speaker 1: every day. You had such a great Tom Brady Julian
Speaker 1: Edelman Edelman Julian Julian Edelman said that when he wakes
Speaker 1: up every morning, Tom Brady is by his bedside, there
Speaker 1: to throw a handful of sand in his face just
Speaker 1: in case it happens in the game every single morning.
Speaker 1: He doesn't even know. He doesn't even know how he
Speaker 1: got a key Danny a Mendola so that Tom Brady
Speaker 1: walks around with a mouthful of bleach ready to spit
Speaker 1: the second and receivers and paying attention to spit it
Speaker 1: right into their eyes. That's why Amudola has a glass eye,
Speaker 1: because he wants to be the best. Is that the
Speaker 1: Adams Family theme song? Who comes in with a tube?
Speaker 1: But to start? Nobody what was that? It was Curse
Speaker 1: of the Mummy? Curse of the Mummy. I was close.
Speaker 1: I was close to the Adams Family. Thing. Is that
Speaker 1: a real song? Curse of the Mummy? You get that
Speaker 1: off a Halloween soundtrack? Is all all the NFL sponsored
Speaker 1: approved music anthony Because I would won't let us play
Speaker 1: the real stuff. I wish it was like a Shazam
Speaker 1: that you could find out when the NFL used it,
Speaker 1: Like if you if you shazam that, and it would
Speaker 1: be like, Oh, they actually used this on Halloween when
Speaker 1: they were talking about a concussion. I could see one
Speaker 1: of those NFL films, you know, Halloween follies, some crazy
Speaker 1: people dressed up in in St. Louis or New Orleans
Speaker 1: or whatnot. There's no football in St. Louis anymore. Halloween follies.
Speaker 1: That's that's one of my favorite NFL network shows. But
Speaker 1: this is one of your favorite parts of This is My,
Speaker 1: This is my This is the reason I do the podcast.
Speaker 1: It's time for a segment we do every single week. Everybody.
Speaker 1: It's time for who's had sex? Oh? Yeah. According to
Speaker 1: US Weekly, despite undergoing a asectomy, New York Jets cornerback
Speaker 1: Antonio Cromarty is expecting twins this summer with wife Terka Cremarti.
Speaker 1: De find odds that suggests the male sterilization procedure has
Speaker 1: roughly and effectiveness rate. And you know what that means?
Speaker 1: They had sex. Ah. That gets me in the studio
Speaker 1: every single week. I love it. Now, let's take it
Speaker 1: the recommendation station, I've been very naughty. That of course
Speaker 1: was Tarka Cramarti, Antonio Crimarti's wife. I can't believe that's
Speaker 1: part of the NFL broadcasting. Whatever they spent for that
Speaker 1: was worth it, it was, it was well worth it.
Speaker 1: That money they're getting from this new l A l
Speaker 1: A team is is going straight into more songs like
Speaker 1: that recommendation station. Greg, you kind of redeemed yourself last
Speaker 1: week after the humiliation of two weeks ago. What are
Speaker 1: you talking about when you recommended um, the Diary of
Speaker 1: Anne Frank. If one extra person listen read that book
Speaker 1: because of me, I'll like it's worth it. Maybe if
Speaker 1: they're if they're in the third grade, they will. You
Speaker 1: may as well have recommended My Side of the Mountain.
Speaker 1: You may as well have recommended A Hardy Boy's Case
Speaker 1: Files Anthony to our listeners, what what what do you got?
Speaker 1: Let me let you recommend Romeo and Juliet this week.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. You know, I think we should go
Speaker 1: back to books, because you know, I'm a big reader.
Speaker 1: Not enough people seem like they're really talking. They're getting
Speaker 1: into books these days. So you can get movie recommendations anywhere,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with one. I recommend to people that
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a safe one in terms of
Speaker 1: being a crowd pleaser. Donna Tart The Secret History. If
Speaker 1: you know Donna Tart, you know Goldfinch was a big
Speaker 1: book a couple of years ago, but even better her
Speaker 1: first book, The Secret History. You know, if you don't
Speaker 1: like that book, I don't think you like reading what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. That's a that's a great. Secret History is
Speaker 1: a great book. I don't think it's as good as
Speaker 1: as The Goldfinch. The Goldfinch is amazing. I just I
Speaker 1: love them ball They're They're both amazing. It's it's it's
Speaker 1: tough to compare the two college roommates with your boy. Yes,
Speaker 1: you went to school with Brett Easton Ellis when I
Speaker 1: was in When I took a creative writing class from
Speaker 1: our boy, Professor Cooley, we both took a creative writing class,
Speaker 1: not together at two Lane, but separately. I was I
Speaker 1: was clearly a Brett east and Ellis disciple, and everything
Speaker 1: I wrote was just like a Brett Easton Ellis knock off,
Speaker 1: and everybody hated it. But you shouldn't Cutter. Write like
Speaker 1: this guy. If you want to write, read The Secret History.
Speaker 1: Read Donna Tart. She's similar to Ellis, but I think not.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say a better writer, but a more descriptive,
Speaker 1: less of a minimalist than Ellis' is writer. I mean, ready,
Speaker 1: I like not as much as I do, but they were.
Speaker 1: I mean, you've you've gotten to live out a dream here.
Speaker 1: You've you've met Brett Easton Ellis. Now you've been on
Speaker 1: his podcast. Met him a couple of times in this podcast.
Speaker 1: I met him once and it was cool, and then
Speaker 1: I met him a second time on his podcast, which
Speaker 1: is great because that time he had to be nice
Speaker 1: to me. My recommendation, I'll recommend a book. This is
Speaker 1: a great book that I recommend a lot to people.
Speaker 1: You know, in the way that someone once told you.
Speaker 1: I think that the book Moneyball was the best book
Speaker 1: about sports and business there's ever been written. It's a
Speaker 1: great book. You're reading Moneyball, my recommendation, is one of
Speaker 1: the best books about business in hip hop I've ever read.
Speaker 1: It's called The Big Payback, The History of the Business
Speaker 1: of Hip Hop by Dan Sharkis. It's a It starts
Speaker 1: almost like when hip hop started and and these hip
Speaker 1: hop became big because people started to make money off
Speaker 1: of it. No one believed in hip hop. I thought
Speaker 1: it was a fad, and then people started to invest
Speaker 1: in it and invest their time and their money, and
Speaker 1: it kind of went from from just people DJing at
Speaker 1: parties all the way to these these moguls today, Like
Speaker 1: you've got guys like fifty cent who make more more
Speaker 1: of their money on vitamin water than they do on
Speaker 1: actual music. Uh. They talk about how Sprite was actually
Speaker 1: a huge thing for commercializing hip hop. Remember those old
Speaker 1: Sprite commercials now where they would use old kind of
Speaker 1: hip hop guys they would bring in. They got very
Speaker 1: hip I think de las Sold did one of them,
Speaker 1: but they they got a lot of DJs in there.
Speaker 1: The big Payback, The History of the Business of hip
Speaker 1: Hop a great read. You'll fly through it and it's
Speaker 1: very informative and and really makes you respect how far
Speaker 1: hip hop is come and what they had to do
Speaker 1: to get there. So that was Recommendation Station. When I
Speaker 1: saw you was like my dreams here contrue so good
Speaker 1: I found you. You make me? That was Roger Goodell.
Speaker 1: That was that was that was That was the one
Speaker 1: time he used auto tune. He remember he used auto tune.
Speaker 1: He said, Anthony, what do you think of this? Said Roger,
Speaker 1: you don't need it. You don't need the auto tune.
Speaker 1: Let the other people have that. Your voice sounds good,
Speaker 1: just as is Greg. That reminds me of something. If
Speaker 1: I can bring this up, I want to go back.
Speaker 1: So I want to go back to uh that song
Speaker 1: I'm talked about smiling. And I actually got an email
Speaker 1: from Hind's Word last week. Yes, I got an email saying,
Speaker 1: you know we talked earlier. If you listen to the podcast,
Speaker 1: it was the first episode. We might have talked about
Speaker 1: Hind's Word first or second. First or second. Once we
Speaker 1: started doing the podcast, people from the NFL started reaching
Speaker 1: out to me to do certain things. And I've always
Speaker 1: said no. I say, of course, I would never do that.
Speaker 1: But Hines Woord reached out saying he's to start a podcast.
Speaker 1: I want you to be a part of it. And
Speaker 1: I said absolutely, He's my favorite player, uh non active
Speaker 1: that I that that. I absolutely loved him. And so
Speaker 1: on Friday, on Thursday, I get an email saying, okay, Uh,
Speaker 1: they had asked me to do the podcast instead of
Speaker 1: course he's my favorite player. And then I never heard anything.
Speaker 1: On Thursday, get email saying okay, can you do it
Speaker 1: tomorrow at nine am or Monday at ten am. I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is insane. That's way too early from me. Where
Speaker 1: do I have to go? Where am I going to
Speaker 1: do this? They say no, it's in New York, so
Speaker 1: you're just you're calling in And I say, okay, Well,
Speaker 1: this is weird because if I'm doing it on Friday,
Speaker 1: it's a much different podcast than Monday. Friday is we're
Speaker 1: talking about the game. Monday is what if we lose
Speaker 1: the game? It's gonna be a depressing thing. And when
Speaker 1: does this air? I don't want to do one Friday
Speaker 1: and then have it come out the next week. And
Speaker 1: people are like why, Like why is he talking about
Speaker 1: the game as if it hasn't already happened. So but
Speaker 1: I just want to know. I want to be informed
Speaker 1: before I make a decision. They get back to me
Speaker 1: and they say, it's not a current event podcast and
Speaker 1: we don't talk about football. Do you know what Hines
Speaker 1: Word Hines Words podcast is called. It hasn't premiered yet.
Speaker 1: It's called Smiling through Adversity and he'll ask him about
Speaker 1: the time that I faced adversity in my life and
Speaker 1: how I got through it. And I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, only for Hines would Willy not why not
Speaker 1: delete this email and never talk to anyone again? Said,
Speaker 1: I will do this. I can talk about how I
Speaker 1: got into stand up and the adversity you face it,
Speaker 1: of course only because of Hines Ward. But I said, okay,
Speaker 1: you know, I'll do it Friday morning. I'll talk about
Speaker 1: stand up. I made some notes about like things that
Speaker 1: I learned kind of getting kicked in the teeth early
Speaker 1: on the first couple of years of being a stand
Speaker 1: up comedian, which is very difficult. Uh, the things that
Speaker 1: I've overcome, Uh, it's amazing my life. But but then
Speaker 1: they then they rescheduled. They said, uh, we're gonna do
Speaker 1: it some other time, so we'll see if he listens
Speaker 1: to this, which I assume he does. And smiled less
Speaker 1: through adversity than you. No, I've gritted teeth, gritted teeth
Speaker 1: through adversity, but I'm smiling now. Yeah, when you're successful,
Speaker 1: then you're smiling to let everyone know. Yeah, everyone know
Speaker 1: you doubted me. I'll kill you behind's words. Smiled a lot,
Speaker 1: But smiling through adversity is like the last thing I
Speaker 1: would ever I would ever name that is you would
Speaker 1: really they only do that for for a sports legend,
Speaker 1: and not only any sports lesson. Just just as Sky
Speaker 1: ask Anthony. This week we got two different Twitter questions
Speaker 1: that one of them was to me and one of
Speaker 1: them was to you, And yet they were the exact
Speaker 1: same question and they were phrased the same way, which
Speaker 1: was strange. And they said, serious question, what is the
Speaker 1: best way to approach Anthony Jessel Nick? And then the
Speaker 1: other one was a serious question, what's the best way
Speaker 1: to approach Greg Rosenthal, which seems like a strange question,
Speaker 1: like approach like approaches in public you see one of
Speaker 1: us out with And this was from Michael Hendel and
Speaker 1: Nick Heaton were the two guys that sent these two
Speaker 1: separate tweets. Okay, so one guy was asking me like
Speaker 1: a legit question. One guy was like being polite to you.
Speaker 1: Have you've been recognized, haven't you? Very rarely? And network
Speaker 1: which the fewer I mean, it's it's like you said,
Speaker 1: you saw me when you were working out in the
Speaker 1: gym the other day. Yeah, I did. I watched the
Speaker 1: network it's NFL Network. It's huge ratings. It's like the
Speaker 1: last season Friends. Every day every episode, did you get
Speaker 1: you get it a lot? I don't get it ever almost.
Speaker 1: But it's happened a couple of times in Los Angeles,
Speaker 1: including when we were at the movies last weekend. Someone
Speaker 1: someone recognized me. I don't care how you come up
Speaker 1: to me, just that's a stupid question to ask me.
Speaker 1: Anything is great. I'm great. I'm happy they talk about football. Hey, yo,
Speaker 1: you know they talk about the podcast. Asked me some
Speaker 1: football questions. Used to happen a little more in New York.
Speaker 1: I used to have a fantasy web show that people
Speaker 1: seem to like. The recognize me from that, so they
Speaker 1: walk up and say, hey, you're Greg ros Hey, you're
Speaker 1: Greg ros I love I watched I love watching that
Speaker 1: show with DoD They ask who you are you Greg Rosenhal.
Speaker 1: It's like, you're Greg Rosenthal. What do you think about
Speaker 1: the games this week? Yeah? They they're like, hey, you're
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal, your Gret gros Though. Wow, it's great. I was.
Speaker 1: I was. I'm excited because Emmica is usually with me
Speaker 1: and uh and I'm just like, see see what I
Speaker 1: do I matter, maybe treat me with some respect. Did
Speaker 1: she believe you? She's roll her eyes. Yeah, no, she's
Speaker 1: not too impressed. Um, I get people people recognize me sometimes,
Speaker 1: and there there's a good way and a bad way
Speaker 1: to do it. Yeah. I don't really know. I'm saying
Speaker 1: this has happened on less than ten times in my life.
Speaker 1: Sometimes people walk up and they're just like, hey, you're awesome,
Speaker 1: love your comedy. Keep moving. That's always great. That's always appreciated. Like,
Speaker 1: don't bother me and kind of have it together. Like
Speaker 1: if you come up and you're like, hey, Anthony, I
Speaker 1: do a podcast, and I would love like leave me alone. Okay,
Speaker 1: there there are channels you go through. I pay people
Speaker 1: to get in between me and things like that. There's
Speaker 1: like you don't just come up to me and asking
Speaker 1: me to do your show or do your podcast. You
Speaker 1: you call my my manager and my publicist and do
Speaker 1: those things. I don't want anything to do with it,
Speaker 1: So that I don't like. I also don't like if
Speaker 1: someone comes up and they just start thinking of things
Speaker 1: in the moment, you know, like I'm a big fan.
Speaker 1: Uh kind of a picture, Um, what about can you
Speaker 1: would you record a message on my phone. None of that.
Speaker 1: If you want a picture, I have your phone ready,
Speaker 1: have someone ready to take it, or just take a
Speaker 1: quick selfie and go. Don't double check to make sure
Speaker 1: the selfie is good. I don't care if my eyes
Speaker 1: are closed. I'm never going to see this. It doesn't
Speaker 1: matter to me. But the people who just walk up
Speaker 1: and like, Anthony, love your comedy, You're great, move on,
Speaker 1: those are my favor show your appreciation and just keep going.
Speaker 1: You're cool, I'm cool. That's it took a while for
Speaker 1: Brandon to learn this approach with Yeah, Brandon still isn't sure.
Speaker 1: Brands like, oh, he's talking about me. Granted, what do
Speaker 1: you do when like, after you've after you're done coaching,
Speaker 1: uh coaching the Lake Valley Lake Valley Wounds volleyball team,
Speaker 1: and people are like, oh, hey, that was a great
Speaker 1: job telling them to set spike bump? Uh? Can I
Speaker 1: can I get a picture? What do you How do
Speaker 1: you handle it? Yeah? I do it because I'm a
Speaker 1: nice person to the fans. Wow, that's an indirect shout
Speaker 1: at you. Your son autographs on it. It just it
Speaker 1: gets boring from me. I appreciate my fans and if
Speaker 1: you If you're like Anthony m comedy fan, I'll do
Speaker 1: whatever you want. I like your comedy. My favorite joke
Speaker 1: is this. I loved your last Special Thoughts and Prayers
Speaker 1: on Netflix right now. But if you're like, hey, I
Speaker 1: recognize that guy? Who are you? When people come up
Speaker 1: and say who are who are you? I just walk
Speaker 1: away because then I'm not gonna help you. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna sit here and like run through the things you
Speaker 1: may have seen me on their countless. My accomplishments are legion.
Speaker 1: By the way, we're talking about your announcing of Mountain
Speaker 1: Valley basketball. Don't you know you don't need to tweet
Speaker 1: out all the updates from Mountain Valley literally with two
Speaker 1: minutes left in the Steelers Bengals game, Brandon, I'm not
Speaker 1: paying attention to how much time I'm gone. People are
Speaker 1: not waiting to find out that Mountain Valley lost by seventeen.
Speaker 1: People are waiting to see what the final score is.
Speaker 1: And why are you even tweeting while you're announcing? Shouldn't
Speaker 1: you be announcing? People rely on your brand, People rely
Speaker 1: on you. I know they rely on Our Listener of
Speaker 1: the Week on iTunes this week is flip Fan I
Speaker 1: really enjoyed this one. The title of it is sit
Speaker 1: back and enjoy the ride, and the comment here is
Speaker 1: sit back and enjoy the ride. Sit back and enjoy
Speaker 1: the ride. Sit back and enjoy the ride. Sit back, ha,
Speaker 1: sit back and enjoy the ride. Five out of five stars.
Speaker 1: Thank you, flip fan. I don't get the reference. What's
Speaker 1: up from sit back? I was Roger goodell, Um, you
Speaker 1: know I'll amend my answer. If you come up to
Speaker 1: me and play that song, I'll go home with you.
Speaker 1: I'll do whatever you want. I'll go home. I'll paint
Speaker 1: your house. You play that song from me. What's our
Speaker 1: hot take of the week? Greg got one take of
Speaker 1: the week. It's from Mike Dicka this week and it
Speaker 1: comes from a good article on dead Spin, who I
Speaker 1: think has noticed a lot of the Adrian Peterson redemption campaign.
Speaker 1: That they say that a lot of interviewers are really
Speaker 1: skirting past what happened with Adrian Peterson beating his child
Speaker 1: last year, which kept him away from the game, and
Speaker 1: really kind of making him out to be I don't
Speaker 1: know about a hero, but that he's been redeemed and
Speaker 1: that he's learned his lesson and part of this is
Speaker 1: usually to minimize what Adrian Peterson didn't, even though, even
Speaker 1: even though the Adrian Peterson has never admitted to doing
Speaker 1: anything wrong, he thinks what he did was fine. He
Speaker 1: thinks he's pretty much he's like, I'm sorry people got upset,
Speaker 1: but he's not. He does not seem like he's uh,
Speaker 1: like he's too remorseful. Right. He He did admit to
Speaker 1: police though, that he damaged his child scrowed him for instance. Uh,
Speaker 1: and his child's feared being punched in the face. We're
Speaker 1: a couple of things. But Mike Dicka openly endorsed endorsed
Speaker 1: child abuse and said he never had a problem with
Speaker 1: Peterson beating his kids. Uh. And then he said I
Speaker 1: don't have a problem with Adrian Peterson. And he also
Speaker 1: explained his own father subjected him to abuse. That's Mike
Speaker 1: Dicka's father, and the former Bears coach thanks God every
Speaker 1: day that he did. That is a hot tack. That
Speaker 1: is a hot take that Didko would admit that he
Speaker 1: thanks God every day that his dad beat him. And
Speaker 1: I'm not religious, as I have stated many many times
Speaker 1: on this program and to my own father, I'm not religious,
Speaker 1: but I also thank God every day that Mike Dick's
Speaker 1: dad beat him. That was David Bowie. People wonder why
Speaker 1: do you why do people love David Bowie so much?
Speaker 1: It's that song right there. That was a that was
Speaker 1: a great one from the Thin White Duke. It's time
Speaker 1: for predictions. It's time for predictions. I have not repeated
Speaker 1: a segment yet on predictions. Proudly eventtioned that every week exactly.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're all pretty much exactly the same, but
Speaker 1: I've never repeated what I couched the men. And this
Speaker 1: one is called it's the playoffs where everything changes. You know.
Speaker 1: It's a completely different game, almost different rules, different everything,
Speaker 1: different ball, different helmets, different teams, everything is. Everything is
Speaker 1: amped up on twenty degrees celsius. So, Greg, why don't
Speaker 1: you give me a prediction and then I'll tell you
Speaker 1: why you're wrong, Because it's the playoffs. It is the playoffs,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to predict that the New England Patriots.
Speaker 1: Let's just go in chronological order. How these divisional round
Speaker 1: games line up? Best weekend of the year. If you're
Speaker 1: a football fan, I think eight great teams, just wall
Speaker 1: to wall football. Patriots gonna take care of business against
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. Very good defense in Kansas City.
Speaker 1: Have a lot of respect for them. But it's the
Speaker 1: best Patriots defense in over a decade. I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a low scoring game. Tom Brady gets hit
Speaker 1: a lot. New England wins. Oh you gave me the score.
Speaker 1: A lot of people are picking the Paths over the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: But if Germany can make Mind comp by Adolf Hitler
Speaker 1: and national bestseller in two thousand sixteen, then dreams can
Speaker 1: come true. See Casey wins and a squeaker Kansas City wins.
Speaker 1: It's awful, it's true. Do you did you know that
Speaker 1: Mine comp came back and it's a sold out immediately
Speaker 1: best seller in Germany, which is no no reason to
Speaker 1: be concerned. But it's a best seller in Germany. In
Speaker 1: two thousand and sixteen, the Arizona Cardinals and the Green
Speaker 1: Bay Packers play on Saturday Night. You would like to
Speaker 1: see a good game in primes. I don't think there's
Speaker 1: gonna be one. I've been telling you, I've been telling
Speaker 1: all the Rosenthal and Jescen Nick Vanity Project listeners are
Speaker 1: that the Cardinals are gonna win the Super Bowl this year,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna start it with a beat down of
Speaker 1: green Bay. Another one they just did it, take them
Speaker 1: out thirty five to ten. Given scores this week, Arizona
Speaker 1: has home field advantage and they're gonna need it to
Speaker 1: keep this game close. If I had my way, Muslims
Speaker 1: wouldn't be allowed to leave America. We need them green
Speaker 1: Bay in the upset of the Year bold bold prediction,
Speaker 1: uh Seattle and Carolina Game of the Weekend, Game of
Speaker 1: the season. As far as I'm concerned, I think these
Speaker 1: are two of the three best teams in the entire
Speaker 1: league and they're stuck facing off in the divisional round.
Speaker 1: Maybe this is the Manning Brady of the next generation
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson cam there's a hot take six or fifth
Speaker 1: or sixth time they've played already in their young career,
Speaker 1: and I think that Seattle is gonna take it. I
Speaker 1: just think the way the defense is playing right now.
Speaker 1: You're handling the podcast, but you're all hyped Seattle. I
Speaker 1: hate to do it because I love the Panthers. I'd
Speaker 1: love to see them in the Super Bowl. I'm sick
Speaker 1: of the Seahawks. But I just think the way the
Speaker 1: Seawks are playing on offense right now, they're gonna win.
Speaker 1: Do you have a score high scoring game? Thirty gonna
Speaker 1: surprise a lot of people. You clearly just made that
Speaker 1: up on the top of your head. But that's why
Speaker 1: you work here. Seattle has been to the super Bowl
Speaker 1: the last two years. But this is the playoffs edited
Speaker 1: for We can be heroes just for one day. Well
Speaker 1: you don't you disagree? Carolina wents big at home. Steelers
Speaker 1: and Broncos wrap up the weekend. That means your Steelers
Speaker 1: will be one of the final five teams alive. If
Speaker 1: you wanted to really look at it positive Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: how I look at things. It's positively and like an idiot,
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown not certain they're going to
Speaker 1: play this game, that they're not really the Steelers without them,
Speaker 1: and so I'm gonna take the Broncos in a close
Speaker 1: game six Pittsburgh's look, Pittsburgh does look like the be
Speaker 1: without their three best players. On offense, we forget about
Speaker 1: we forget about our running back, our boy D'Angelo and
Speaker 1: Denver is playing like they have something to prove. But
Speaker 1: if women can run for president, then equal pay seems
Speaker 1: like overkilled to me. Pittsburgh wins in a blowout. That
Speaker 1: was Goodell. That was Roger Goodell, just kind of just
Speaker 1: screwing around in the booth a little bit. He's he's
Speaker 1: a heavy metal guy. He plays a little everything, but
Speaker 1: he's metal through and through, Metal through and through. Who's
Speaker 1: Who's the ESPN analyst who has the rat tail? John Clayton,
Speaker 1: John Clayton, He's like Roger Goodell's also has a rat tail,
Speaker 1: but he kind of it's a clip on. It's a
Speaker 1: clip on anywhere. It's just when he's not, when he's not,
Speaker 1: when he's not in the owner's box. That explains his
Speaker 1: relationship with Clayton. Edited because Josel mc lost his damn mind.
Speaker 1: So now, Gregore, wait in the show boys. We're not
Speaker 1: over yet, Brandon, don't don't put that nail in the coffin.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it, uh Greg. Before we go, I
Speaker 1: want to ask about my god kids, uh Ellis and Walker.
Speaker 1: It was Walker's first birthday yesterday, birthday number one. Um.
Speaker 1: You had told me earlier that you thought his birthday
Speaker 1: was either on January eleventh or January and it was
Speaker 1: January twelve. I texted you on his birthday got him
Speaker 1: a I got him a bulldozer, a little bulldozer boy,
Speaker 1: which he really enjoys. Tell me, tell me what that
Speaker 1: birthday party was like, Yeah, you weren't there, so you
Speaker 1: wouldn't know. You know, we asked Godfather to come on over.
Speaker 1: I was I was prepping for surgery. But tell me,
Speaker 1: tell me, tell me a little bit, Just tell me
Speaker 1: about what's going on with our lives. Well, it was
