Speaker 1: It's episode eight of the Rosenthal and Jessin Nick Vanity
Speaker 1: Project rby the best Christmas present money can buy. Everybody
Speaker 1: wants to go to heaven, nobody wants to die. We
Speaker 1: are back episode eight, getting close to Christmas time, getting
Speaker 1: close to the end of the regular season in the NFL,
Speaker 1: which I know you're excited about, Anthony. I am getty, gritty,
Speaker 1: good to be back in the studio. You see them
Speaker 1: a little touchy today, not in quite the spirit that
Speaker 1: you usually are for a big Rosenthal and Jessel Nick
Speaker 1: Vanity project. I'm alright, I'm right. You know, sometimes it's
Speaker 1: hard to kind of have to wait for you, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I have to test my patients, uh,
Speaker 1: trying to you know, drag you along. I mean, I
Speaker 1: got broad shoulders, but it's hard to carry this whole thing.
Speaker 1: Every week. I was literally dragging you along on Friday night,
Speaker 1: That's true. We went out. We went out. Greg and
Speaker 1: I went out together on Friday night. Asked me if
Speaker 1: I would want to come to dinner with him, his wife,
Speaker 1: his lovely wife, Emmica, who I adore, and his mother,
Speaker 1: his mother, what's her name? She kept telling me to
Speaker 1: call her by first name. She's Mrs Rosenthal to me,
Speaker 1: she always will be Debbie. Yes, I always want to
Speaker 1: say Betsy, but no, it's a lot of dinners. You
Speaker 1: gotta get that first name nailed down here. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm not a big like call parents by
Speaker 1: the first name guy, you know. But now I'm gonna
Speaker 1: have to call her Debbie. Debbie was not well. Defie
Speaker 1: was was very, very sick, which is the last thing
Speaker 1: you want to see when you go to dinner with
Speaker 1: a couple of people. Was one of them, the one
Speaker 1: you're gonna be seen next to at a Korean barbecue,
Speaker 1: which is a lot of sharing. Someone just definitely deathly ill. Well,
Speaker 1: you didn't help it. You kind of like would give
Speaker 1: her a little hugs and things like that. There's some
Speaker 1: somebody I didn't want to make it feel bad. I
Speaker 1: I made her drink. I made her split a bottle
Speaker 1: of hot sake with me, which was not probably the
Speaker 1: best thing for her, but I think it helped in
Speaker 1: the moment. And then it really brought a crashing down
Speaker 1: to earth because the hot. I think the hot helped her,
Speaker 1: but the sake ness of it was was terrible for her.
Speaker 1: Anthony is definitely that friend who encourages everyone around him
Speaker 1: to drink as much as possible, no matter what the situation,
Speaker 1: even if it's your friend's mom who is clearly very sick.
Speaker 1: You you wanted her to drink the hot sake that
Speaker 1: showed you. I believe, no, no, that came with it.
Speaker 1: I should really know. This was the is like the
Speaker 1: fake sake made her drink some of that. Yeah it is.
Speaker 1: It's like a rice. It's not sake, but it's like
Speaker 1: it's that a fake one. It's more it's more popular
Speaker 1: in some now if you don't have a liquor license,
Speaker 1: you can serve beer and soju. That's like, that's like
Speaker 1: a thing. It's if you see SoJ you want to men,
Speaker 1: you get the hell out of that restaurant. But we
Speaker 1: had a little bit. I like people to drink with me.
Speaker 1: I'm a famous comedian, so I get down when I
Speaker 1: go then, right, my favorite drunk is dinner drunk. I'm
Speaker 1: not like a big sit on my couch. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: when I go to dinner, we're gonna rock out. And
Speaker 1: your mom was it was very sick. Um, But we
Speaker 1: got through dinner and then I said, hey, why don't
Speaker 1: you guys, drive me home. You had the babysitter to
Speaker 1: get home to us, and why don't you drive me
Speaker 1: home and you can see my apartment. We'll have one
Speaker 1: more drink there and then you guys can head back
Speaker 1: and you would take it from here. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: like you were seducing us, except it was me, you know,
Speaker 1: my wife and my mom. But yes, we decided to drive.
Speaker 1: It was a seduction. It was, hey, this night will
Speaker 1: be more fun in instead of going back to your babysitter,
Speaker 1: you come with me. Yeah, go check out. You just
Speaker 1: moved into your new apartment as a longtime listeners of
Speaker 1: the Rosenthal and jessin Nick Vanity Project now our charity,
Speaker 1: and so we you know, we were on our way.
Speaker 1: We kind of went over a little curb on the
Speaker 1: way out, although it didn't we were driving. Wow, it
Speaker 1: didn't feel like anything, you have to admit that. And
Speaker 1: the car started going crazy on the way there, and
Speaker 1: there were lots of different theories about what was happening,
Speaker 1: but I just kept driving. Eventually got to your apartment
Speaker 1: and uh we had a flat tire, flat tire and
Speaker 1: uh so and and your wife was getting texts from
Speaker 1: the babysitter saying you should get home right now. Daughter
Speaker 1: was crying for the first time ever. Our daughter was
Speaker 1: requesting us and in very upset because she was sick
Speaker 1: or something. In the babysit it was creaking out. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: we're headed in the exact opposite direction to West Hollywood
Speaker 1: loft over sitting in this city where you're gonna like
Speaker 1: try to get us more drunk. Yes, that's right. I
Speaker 1: had very excellent mind to share with you guys, which
Speaker 1: no one drank um. But I think I think Ellis,
Speaker 1: your daughter, was more upset that like she was. Do
Speaker 1: you guys are spending time with me without her, you know?
Speaker 1: I think she just wanted to be there. But when
Speaker 1: we got home and then we had to wait hours
Speaker 1: for a totruk to come and change your flat, tire,
Speaker 1: I sent your wife and mom home an uber name
Speaker 1: after your mom touched everything in my apartment. I've got
Speaker 1: a lot of books, and your mom, who was deathly ill,
Speaker 1: just walked around touching every single book that she could.
Speaker 1: But you haven't made a joke that you try to
Speaker 1: touch his momains as you can, so that I get
Speaker 1: just as sick as Why now you really had a
Speaker 1: distilled version of uh some of my wife em Beca's
Speaker 1: frustrations over the next three or four days as my
Speaker 1: mom continued to get my kids sicker and sicker. I
Speaker 1: like that that you were almost like a pusher though.
Speaker 1: Like the second we got there, Anthony was very concerned
Speaker 1: that we all had zinc, we all had vitamin C,
Speaker 1: that like, we were gonna be healthy, and you're just
Speaker 1: like shoving vitamins down our throats here. Yeah, I'm on
Speaker 1: the road a lot, so I take I take my
Speaker 1: vitamin seeing my thing to to stay healthy. And I
Speaker 1: am I'm healthy right now. I took a little hit,
Speaker 1: I think because your mom's disease, but I am, I
Speaker 1: am good. So uh so yeah, after a couple of
Speaker 1: hours you you finally got on my apartments. It was right, well,
Speaker 1: we all we all had a good time, but it
Speaker 1: was it was a disaster considering what I what I
Speaker 1: had in mind, um for the evening, it would have
Speaker 1: been a lot more fun. Um. Speaking of your mom,
Speaker 1: I want to I want to give a shout out,
Speaker 1: a non shout out father from last week. I talked
Speaker 1: about getting Penguins jerseys and I bought my dad's Penguins
Speaker 1: jersey from an ex Penguins player and d E S
Speaker 1: p R E S and I know how to pronounce.
Speaker 1: I thought dispressed dispress, and my dad said, oh depui.
Speaker 1: The last week, I said, I got him a Depuis jersey.
Speaker 1: And then a listener, one of our one of our
Speaker 1: listeners on Twitter said, no, you meant dispressed, and I
Speaker 1: did mean despress. Screw your dad, you embarrassed me. You
Speaker 1: embarrassed me, and I won't let it happen again. Despress,
Speaker 1: enjoy your jersey, dad. No one even knows what you're
Speaker 1: talking about. Right now? What is I do? And McDonald
Speaker 1: does and my dad helmet watch out now that was
Speaker 1: the Beating Nuts. That was It was like as if
Speaker 1: you picked a random part of one of the best
Speaker 1: songs from The Beating Nuts. I don't know what you
Speaker 1: were doing with that is that? Was that the edit
Speaker 1: that you meant to put in there. I think the
Speaker 1: YouTube at it was probably different than the actual song
Speaker 1: at it, which I gave him. This is what happens
Speaker 1: when I put you in troge of music again. We
Speaker 1: only have one more When we have one more hip
Speaker 1: hop song we get to play. I'm gonna count that one,
Speaker 1: even though it was not really it was a disaster,
Speaker 1: disaster that only Greg could be responsible for. Um, it
Speaker 1: was like it was like audio on my computer wasn't
Speaker 1: working today, so I did it off of my phone
Speaker 1: and I just said, okay, do the first this these seconds,
Speaker 1: and yeah, it didn't work out. No, it didn't work out.
Speaker 1: It's as if you tried to drive the beat nuts
Speaker 1: home in your car. Give me a break, another Jessell
Speaker 1: Nick trend. You and your dad, you you know you'd
Speaker 1: speak very definitively when you don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: That's not my No, my dad does not do that.
Speaker 1: My dad did that one time with the jersey. Normally
Speaker 1: he knows his sports. He knows more than you. Greg,
Speaker 1: admit it. We're not even friends right now. All right,
Speaker 1: you're not friends with my dad. Noted. Let's go into
Speaker 1: what was edited from last week. Um, Brandon, you were
Speaker 1: not here. Brandon was was knee deep, knee deep in
Speaker 1: girls volleyball last week, explained, Explain what you're doing again,
Speaker 1: tell us what you were doing girls volleyball. Huh, you're
Speaker 1: you're going from intermural basketball to volleyball. But no, it's
Speaker 1: broadcasting basketball at cal State Fullerton. That's a lateral move.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go into what was edited while Brandon
Speaker 1: was out. Um, and maybe and maybe we'll talk about
Speaker 1: we we've gotten a little tiff. Brandon. That's not why
Speaker 1: you were out last week. But no, it made people
Speaker 1: think that's might have been why I was out and
Speaker 1: possibly taking off the podcast. No, you were not taking
Speaker 1: off the podcast. I mean despite efforts, uh, every effort
Speaker 1: that I made to have it, to have it be
Speaker 1: so Um, Anthony likes to draw out his punishment. He's
Speaker 1: just gonna make your life a living hell for the
Speaker 1: next two much and blocked him, So that should stocked him.
Speaker 1: All right, maybe I'll block you. Um. Brandon put up
Speaker 1: a clip of Greg and I dancing in between two songs,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I put it up on Twitter
Speaker 1: and I was like, hey, is this cool? And here's
Speaker 1: the Brandon, here's the here's the trick. If you do
Speaker 1: something and then ask hey, if this is is cool,
Speaker 1: the answer is always going to be no. But the
Speaker 1: thing is you're supposed to ask for forgiveness later. No,
Speaker 1: that's what I do. That's not what you do. I've
Speaker 1: earned the right to ask for it. I don't even
Speaker 1: ask for given this. Later I go, that's just what
Speaker 1: I do. I'm Anthony jessel Nick. You Uh, you don't
Speaker 1: ask for you just dropped plays and say, hey, ladies,
Speaker 1: do you guys understand this one? That's what you do.
Speaker 1: Let's go into let's get into what was edited from
Speaker 1: last week. Uh, an explanation of why why episode six
Speaker 1: was canceled. This is episode ey right, and I was
Speaker 1: explanation of why last year was canceled. I have been
Speaker 1: told to not no longer try to even describe it,
Speaker 1: and I will let that go. Um. Uh discussion of
Speaker 1: Patterson's celebration. Um. Yeah, do do you remember what what
Speaker 1: in the description was because the next thing, I don't
Speaker 1: remember what we actually said. But then I described special
Speaker 1: teams players as celebrating everything up to and including, and
Speaker 1: I got people ask me about this up to when including.
Speaker 1: There is a former dictator who committed suicide at the
Speaker 1: very end of World War Two who I like to
Speaker 1: reference a lot, and for some reason, you're allowed to
Speaker 1: say his name, which drives me crazy. I'm a history buff.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about this guy, all right. If
Speaker 1: you go on the History Channel, they talk about him
Speaker 1: all the time. No one ever gets edited, no one
Speaker 1: gets bleeped. And I said that special teams players celebrate
Speaker 1: the person's birthday. That's how much they celebrate everything. They
Speaker 1: love it. That's that's I mean, it's the same. My
Speaker 1: father was born in the country that this man was
Speaker 1: running back in the nineteen forties, Germany, where I think
Speaker 1: we're allowed to say that. It annoys me. We have
Speaker 1: to talk around it. I mean, your dad's proud to
Speaker 1: be from there, Your dad celebrates, your dad's got the mustache. Um.
Speaker 1: Then we went to the uh second half of the
Speaker 1: Bill's story about fans on the upper upper deck. Greg
Speaker 1: got a little blue talking about they were there were um,
Speaker 1: there were bills fans who were warming each other's hands
Speaker 1: in each other's pants. Uh. And he used a term
Speaker 1: for that which which middle schoolers use, but we're not
Speaker 1: allowed to use here. I'll just leave it at that. Um.
Speaker 1: We talked about this Obama story where one of the
Speaker 1: one of the commentators called him a name that she
Speaker 1: should not have called him. He got he got banned.
Speaker 1: But if I know, we couldn't say this word, the
Speaker 1: word is which has just been believe, if we weren't
Speaker 1: allowed to say that word. I would never have talked
Speaker 1: about the stories. We bleeped that several times. Uh. That
Speaker 1: word um, a word a gynecologist would use as slang.
Speaker 1: Everyone's got the word. And then a cat and then
Speaker 1: we yes. And then there story about a British person,
Speaker 1: British prison, British prison. We used the word which I'm
Speaker 1: sure has just been Let me see if I can
Speaker 1: I can say this cocka doodle do. I think we
Speaker 1: can get away with that. I think the first one
Speaker 1: was bleeped, but cocka doodle do is okay. I'm getting
Speaker 1: a thumbs up. Um. And then something about Fox News.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that was, and who cares?
Speaker 1: Fox News is the worst. Um. Let's go to headlines
Speaker 1: for Friend and back Street List. We own a miss
Speaker 1: indicate right, we'll just into midnight. That was outcast. That
Speaker 1: was outcast, that was number two of two, and the
Speaker 1: songs that we are allowed to use from hip hop.
Speaker 1: The NFL is not letting letting us use our normal
Speaker 1: front to back, you know, top to bottom hip hop
Speaker 1: that we like to do. I'm not happy about it,
Speaker 1: but we're going to see what the NFL has for us. Instead,
Speaker 1: they said that they said, they're going to fill in
Speaker 1: the blanks for us and see if we see if
Speaker 1: we like it, let's go. Let's start with our first
Speaker 1: headline rerecord. Yeah, I mean if you are a first
Speaker 1: time listener. The NFL keeps making up these crazy rules
Speaker 1: of songs, so you know, we get we get two
Speaker 1: songs ten seconds max. And now from now on, it's
Speaker 1: the NFL songs. It's the NFL songs. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I've we've never heard these before. We're gonna hear them
Speaker 1: as we go. In house songs, in house songs, which
Speaker 1: are always in my in my experience, are always pretty lame.
Speaker 1: Let's start with the first uh story that happened in
Speaker 1: the middle of a game that while I was watching it,
Speaker 1: I knew this has to be on the Rosenthal and
Speaker 1: jessel Nick Vanity Project rd BB. And that was William Gay,
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback and a delightful guy. If you've
Speaker 1: ever heard him speak, He's very funny, charming, nice guy.
Speaker 1: And he had a pick six of a j mc aaron,
Speaker 1: the new Bengals quarterback after Andy Dalton got injured. Brand new,
Speaker 1: get excited Cincinnati, Yeah, and Alabama quarterback has not won
Speaker 1: an NFL game and almost thirty years, and you know
Speaker 1: how many games two lane quarterbacks have won? A lot
Speaker 1: like thirty, just saying two lane Shaun King, Patrick Ramsey,
Speaker 1: J P. Lastnan. William Gaye got very excited when he
Speaker 1: got the pick six, and we just thought it was
Speaker 1: funny how much he was celebrating. So let's let's take
Speaker 1: a listen to it. This is amazing. I'm in five
Speaker 1: rolls far side, intercepted touchdown Pittsburgh. This is a big play.
Speaker 1: He's dancing. He's a big plays. He's doing the dance.
Speaker 1: It's a planned dance. That is William Gaye tims around him.
Speaker 1: Now we kind of stops dancing return touchdown, and that
Speaker 1: ties in with Rod Woodson for celebrating given some hot
Speaker 1: fives teammates. And then what's happening here he's in Cincinnati. Mind,
Speaker 1: he's doing the he does the whip and then he
Speaker 1: gets the flag for the whip hand. Now he goes
Speaker 1: back to the original dance, which is stunning, a stunning display.
Speaker 1: He knows. Now the referee is describing to everyone the penalty.
Speaker 1: Now they cut to William gay on his knees swimming
Speaker 1: on the sidelines towards Joey Porter, who was a coach,
Speaker 1: mind you, a coach who was also on his knees
Speaker 1: swimming towards winning Gay after they've already gotten the penalty.
Speaker 1: I swear, Greg, when I saw this. When I saw this,
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe that no one on the Steelers sideline
Speaker 1: was bothered at all. I thought I was watching a
Speaker 1: replay that was overdubbed with the explanation of the penalty.
Speaker 1: There's no way they would ignore the ref that much
Speaker 1: and keep on celebrating. But they did. But no, I mean,
Speaker 1: Joey Porter has got to be one of your all
Speaker 1: time favorite Steelers. The fact that a coach literally got
Speaker 1: out his knees and started doing some sort of crab
Speaker 1: walk maneuver. I don't know to words William Gay as
Speaker 1: they're doing the celebration after they announced the penalty is
Speaker 1: one of the greatest things that's ever happened. It was amazing,
Speaker 1: and he also he's gonna go back on the field
Speaker 1: in seconds. I loved it. And of course Joey Porter
Speaker 1: is definitely in my top ten top ten Steelers of
Speaker 1: all time. I love him, love him on the sidelines,
Speaker 1: love that whole play that was that was fantastic and
Speaker 1: I think it would only be allowed against the team
Speaker 1: like Cincinnati. In Cincinnati, that makes it so much more hardcore.
Speaker 1: I love that Mike Tomlin did not care after the
Speaker 1: game when he got up, He's just like that, he's
Speaker 1: celebrating and uh, I don't know. I just love Greg
Speaker 1: Gumbo's reaction to We were kind of talking talking over
Speaker 1: and he was just at one point he goes and
Speaker 1: he continues his ridiculous celebration. Everyone was delighted. It was
Speaker 1: It's the most delight I've seen since Antonio Brown kicked
Speaker 1: un her in the face. Let's start party, Let's start party.
Speaker 1: What was that? What did they say, Let's start barking
Speaker 1: or let's start start the Let's start the party. Got
Speaker 1: the NFL got their money's worth on that one. That
Speaker 1: is a that is a bad and this isn't a bit.
Speaker 1: This is genuine, actual songs in the NFL music library
Speaker 1: that they said, stop using that cool rap music that
Speaker 1: you kids listen to and start using some of our music.
Speaker 1: And it's not a bit. Uh. And you may have
Speaker 1: noticed we forgot to mention this earlier. We we've had
Speaker 1: a theme changed here a compromise for Greg's wife. Some
Speaker 1: people have been complaining about us screaming screaming initials r
Speaker 1: j VP anytime someone says the Rosenthal just mc vanity project.
Speaker 1: So I decided that we're gonna keep on doing. We're
Speaker 1: gonna whisper it, which is a little creepy, a little aggressive,
Speaker 1: but I like it. No, no people have complained really
Speaker 1: other than Emmica, but she hasn't liked it. She also
Speaker 1: doesn't like I always make her sound like kind of
Speaker 1: the bad guy on this show. That's not fair. One
Speaker 1: of my favorite moments, and we'll get to the next
Speaker 1: night of news in a second. One of my favorite
Speaker 1: moments from dinner and then it continued on all week,
Speaker 1: was that dinner my mom would occasionally just yell out
Speaker 1: r g v P and then which really which really
Speaker 1: delighted me, Um, I think annoyed, have a go. And
Speaker 1: then the funny thing is we were at dinner two
Speaker 1: nights later and just occasionally my mom would just as
Speaker 1: something came up with you or the night the other
Speaker 1: night when we were at the dinner and and my
Speaker 1: mom would just go R S v P. Did you
Speaker 1: just kept going R S v P. It is. I
Speaker 1: think it's really funny how much how much your mom
Speaker 1: and your wife hate each other. You, by the way,
Speaker 1: you had someone come up to you and say, say
Speaker 1: our j v P. Right, Oh yeah, when I was
Speaker 1: at the mom and I was buying Penguins Jersey's I
Speaker 1: mean that's you know, I get that all the time,
Speaker 1: but it's you. It's amazing. No, but it's amazing because
Speaker 1: it's ours, because it's our j v P. You don't
Speaker 1: get our j VP all the time, do you. You You
Speaker 1: don't have to say. You don't have to whisper it
Speaker 1: to Brandon when we say r j you have to say,
Speaker 1: do we need to explain the whole rules? Brandon? You've
Speaker 1: been gone too long, you say, you say, if you
Speaker 1: say the whole name Rosenthal and justin Nick Vanity Project. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know how they do it in girls soccer,
Speaker 1: but here, at here, at r j VP, we have
Speaker 1: one way to do it. Um up to you with
Speaker 1: the mall and said, I'm a big fan r g
Speaker 1: v P um, but this is my thing. Please uh
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack his thing this week was getting five sacks
Speaker 1: crushed it this week killed the Denver Broncos brock Osweiler
Speaker 1: one of the best defensive performances by a player I've
Speaker 1: seen in my lifetime. Uh. And then after the game,
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, their quarterback, was very appreciative of the moment.
Speaker 1: That is, Car, do not say things like that. This
Speaker 1: is another chapter, he said on camera, which bothers me.
Speaker 1: This is another chapter in the Anthony Jesse Nick book
Speaker 1: on things quarterbacks should never say. He joins, he joins
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, and he joins, all what's his face from
Speaker 1: the Redskins, Kirk Cousins, Kirk Cousins, I cannot stand these guys,
Speaker 1: and I love Car. I like Carl say, but I
Speaker 1: don't cut Car some slack here, because you can tell
Speaker 1: that he thinks about that draft every single day. The
Speaker 1: only way he would be like, I see why it
Speaker 1: took you before me after five sack performance wre they
Speaker 1: won the biggest game that went all season. It has
Speaker 1: to haunt him all the time. He looks haunted. He
Speaker 1: looks like a gaunt, haunted man, as I'm haunted constantly
Speaker 1: by the many creatures that I've run over with my car,
Speaker 1: all them fish that was what this? What what are
Speaker 1: you doing to us? Right. It only gets better from here,
Speaker 1: I promise. That's I mean, that sounds like something I
Speaker 1: would play inside an aquarium. What's our next headline? Greg?
Speaker 1: Jay Z was randomly there in St. Louis last week
Speaker 1: at the Edward James Almost Arena. That's that's not really
Speaker 1: what it's called. I wish. Um the Edward Jones Dome
Speaker 1: in St. Louis possibly the second to last game ever
Speaker 1: in St. Louis. The crowd was electric for the Lions
Speaker 1: Rams game half half full. Rams got their first win
Speaker 1: in a long time, and a lot of people were thinking, well,
Speaker 1: I guess I guess it was the presence of jay
Speaker 1: Z and he was there for his client who he
Speaker 1: owns Rock Nation, which is the sports agency now and
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley is a new client of there, so he
Speaker 1: was there for him. And then after the game he
Speaker 1: he actually came in the locker room and we have
Speaker 1: a little sound of that. This right here, this is
Speaker 1: the build on. Man, there's some teammates we go and lose. Hey,
Speaker 1: let's grind this week. Now, come on, let's go home,
Speaker 1: and you got We're only jay Z can do it
Speaker 1: quite like that? Um, this is funny to me. If
Speaker 1: you see the video. I didn't realize when Greg explained
Speaker 1: why jay Z is there. To me, it seemed like
Speaker 1: the RAMS summoned jay Z like the candy Man. Like
Speaker 1: when a group of grown men like I'll put their
Speaker 1: hands together and say the magic words like, uh, let's
Speaker 1: get it done, Let's get it done. They pause and
Speaker 1: they say, come on, jay Z, and then jay Z
Speaker 1: will appear and join your circle. And just notice that
Speaker 1: the end of the video cuts off. Suddenly. You gotta
Speaker 1: assume jay Z called killed the whole team. You gotta
Speaker 1: assume he killed the whole team. That's the price you
Speaker 1: pay for summoning the candy Man. I just it seems
Speaker 1: so random to be like, of all places. But first
Speaker 1: of all, he was not interested in leading their breakdown.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a little hard to understand. Maybe
Speaker 1: just listening to the audio. Basically was some of the
Speaker 1: RAMS players were saying, come on, jay Z, like you
Speaker 1: break it down. Maybe give us a little a little rap,
Speaker 1: a little rhyme or something, and then you know, break
Speaker 1: it down one, two, three, And he was just kind
Speaker 1: of like in the back like no, I'm I'm jay Z.
Speaker 1: It's like, never we asked Anthony to do anything a
Speaker 1: little you know, out of the ordinary, for the for
Speaker 1: the Vanity Project. It would be like if you had
Speaker 1: me over to dinner and said, Anthony, why don't you
Speaker 1: say Grace? It would be about as awkward as asking
Speaker 1: jay Z to wrap wrap into a into your victory
Speaker 1: circle at the end. It seems like a bad move
Speaker 1: for jay Z though, to be in the rams, Like
Speaker 1: it's bad for You're always worried about, you know, the
Speaker 1: Anthony jess Like brand. You've got all sorts of rules
Speaker 1: about how that happened, uh, And like why would you
Speaker 1: want to be seen with like one of the most
Speaker 1: boring losing franchises right now in sports. I'm not speaking
Speaker 1: out of school. They haven't had a winning record in
Speaker 1: a in a long long time. It would be like
Speaker 1: it would be like Obama, you know, like addressing like
Speaker 1: the Jaguars special teams before the game, giving them a
Speaker 1: big pipe like this should be beneath jay Z. Well,
Speaker 1: if you didn't want to do something embarrassing, then you
Speaker 1: never should have gone to St. Louis in the first place.
Speaker 1: I'm town lady seemed to do. I think I'm down long.
Speaker 1: The NFL paid for that. The NFL paid someone to
Speaker 1: do that. Who is that? I don't know if they
Speaker 1: got people at the studio and how to recording such.
Speaker 1: They probably bought the music music. I picture. I picture
Speaker 1: Goodell wearing headphones outside the booth, nodding his head while
Speaker 1: they break this down. It's been like, all right, guys,
Speaker 1: that was good. That was it. That was fire. I
Speaker 1: picture Goodell like the like the guy in the Empire,
Speaker 1: like like sitting outside the like that's that's fire. It's
Speaker 1: not there yet. You need passion, You need passion. That
Speaker 1: was this is This is only gonna get worse. You
Speaker 1: know what? Um, what's the next totally inappropriate video you
Speaker 1: should tape and then post on the internet without telling Anthony?
Speaker 1: Would should be his reactions while these songs are playing,
Speaker 1: because they're great, there's a genuine level of antipathy, very angry.
Speaker 1: I just think about the whole time I listen to
Speaker 1: the songs, I just think about how long it took
Speaker 1: me to drive here. The Los Angeles School District l
Speaker 1: a unified school district. H. I don't know if you've
Speaker 1: heard this story, Anthony. This week they had to close
Speaker 1: down all their schools on Tuesday, UH due to a
Speaker 1: credible terrorism threat or terror threat. And I heard this
Speaker 1: news right away. Ellis is not old enough. My daughter
Speaker 1: name is Elis uh your god daughter, of course, talk
Speaker 1: about her later in the show. She's not old enough
Speaker 1: to go to school yet. And she she's going to preschool,
Speaker 1: so it didn't it didn't affect her, but it was
Speaker 1: a it was a big story. Anyone here at work
Speaker 1: that had kids, you know, had to change their plans,
Speaker 1: you know, or stay home for the day. Uh. And
Speaker 1: you know, one of the things that really stuck out
Speaker 1: to me when I was reading about it, uh, was
Speaker 1: this passage in the Associated Press story which reads the
Speaker 1: email threat, which authorities said was quote routed through Germany
Speaker 1: but likely originated locally, was made nearly two weeks after
Speaker 1: a married couple in fired by Islamic state killed fourteen.
Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, back up, repeat that last part. This
Speaker 1: is the part that bothers me about about these people.
Speaker 1: It was routed quote routed through Germany but likely originated locally.
Speaker 1: Was made nearly two weeks after a married couple inspired
Speaker 1: by Islamic states. See that's it, that's Greg. That's a
Speaker 1: Greg married couple. We need to get these freaks out
Speaker 1: of our country. Let's try along the Planets. Finally a
Speaker 1: good one. Yeah, I got to say that. That's pretty great.
Speaker 1: I can throw all my old awquacy ds and just
Speaker 1: play that. That was a couple of good ones. I promise,
Speaker 1: all right. I mean maybe Goodell, maybe Goodell knew what
Speaker 1: he was talking, what he was doing. I mean, people
Speaker 1: grow as a producer. I didn't think of the Beatles
Speaker 1: that evolution like throughout the years. Maybe Goodell behind the
Speaker 1: That's my thing that impressed me as much about Goodell's
Speaker 1: you know, during the day he's got football stuff to
Speaker 1: deal with, and then at night he gets in the
Speaker 1: studio when he grinds, he grinds it out because I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, all night long, all night long in the studio.
Speaker 1: I'm just waiting for you to say something that needs
Speaker 1: to be edited, but I think you avoided it. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about what happened in Carolina last week. I'm not
Speaker 1: talking about the thirty eight to nothing whitewash of the
Speaker 1: Falcons that the Panthers put on him. About to go
Speaker 1: sixteen and know, pretty cool story if they, honestly, if
Speaker 1: they go sixteen and one, it would be the most
Speaker 1: amazing thing. What lose I mean fifteen like lose the
Speaker 1: first playoff. No, no no, no. If they if they would
Speaker 1: go the whole season and they and then they and
Speaker 1: before the playoffs and they go sixteen and one, it
Speaker 1: would be incredible. That would be incredible. But what was
Speaker 1: also incredible in that game, Tony Carenti, the referee, was
Speaker 1: ready for the game to be over, and there was
Speaker 1: a it's a little complicated to explain. At one point,
Speaker 1: there's three minutes left, there's a fourth in one play,
Speaker 1: and the Panthers tried to go for it with their backup,
Speaker 1: get the first down and then then the game's over.
Speaker 1: Everyone can get home. But they but they were stopped short.
Speaker 1: And Tony Crenti, who was the official, did not realize
Speaker 1: his mike was hot. That's what we that's how we
Speaker 1: call it in the business, Anthony. If the mic is
Speaker 1: on and everyone everyone can hear it. His mic was hot,
Speaker 1: and the television crowd and everyone at the stadium could
Speaker 1: hear it. And and he was heard saying all we
Speaker 1: needed was four inches and we can all go home.
Speaker 1: Let's give him some for that, Mr. Four inches, And
Speaker 1: he was he was talking to uh, he was talking
Speaker 1: to one of his other referees, you know, calling him
Speaker 1: Mr four inches, referees joshing around with each other. Always
Speaker 1: like to see that. And don't talk to me about
Speaker 1: Tony Coarnti, like I don't know who he is. I
Speaker 1: got a Tony Crerenti poster on the wall. Um. You
Speaker 1: know my theory about referees, Greg, you know they my
Speaker 1: thing about referees in all sports, not just football. But
Speaker 1: they should be allowed to interfere with the game however
Speaker 1: they like, according to their whim. I think they should
Speaker 1: leave their mics on the whole time. I want to
Speaker 1: hear them breathing with they're running on the sidelines. I
Speaker 1: want to hear them talking trash on each other. I
Speaker 1: want to hear them talking trash to players, making fun
Speaker 1: of other people, talking about, you know, what happened during
Speaker 1: their day during halftime. And sure, you know, people don't
Speaker 1: pay a lot of money to watch Tony Carenti yet,
Speaker 1: but I believe very strong and they will. It's an
Speaker 1: untapped market, don't don't. That's see. That's a great song.
Speaker 1: That's got a message that I can get behind. It's
Speaker 1: got a sweet beat, goodell. Way to go on that one.
Speaker 1: I know that's early period Goodell if that's late Goodell,
Speaker 1: but whatever it is, Uh, he earned his stripes and
Speaker 1: the when that's why. That's why, ladies and gentlemen, he's
Speaker 1: the commission. Yeah, this if ever there was, And please
Speaker 1: don't tweet at the NFL, by the way, that's the
Speaker 1: message Anthony gave you last week. If you want to
Speaker 1: continue this program, don't but out of anchor, don't tweet
Speaker 1: the NFL out of anger saying where's our r j VP,
Speaker 1: where's the Rosenthal and justin mcvanity project r j V.
Speaker 1: But you need to if you if you like something.
Speaker 1: And I think Goodell doesn't get enough praise for his music,
Speaker 1: and I think that he should. I think because they
Speaker 1: haven't really shined a spotlight on it. They've been kind
Speaker 1: of waiting until he has a few years under his
Speaker 1: belt go away. I'm of the mind though, that the
Speaker 1: lower on the radar that we stay probably the better.
Speaker 1: Like I don't know if he's gonna quite want the
Speaker 1: world to be celebrating his music. It's a very serious
Speaker 1: job that he has, you know, to for it to
Speaker 1: really get out there and word to get back that
Speaker 1: his number one podcast on Wednesday's UH is talking about it.
Speaker 1: I'll use an example. When Bernie Williams retired from the Yankees,
Speaker 1: you put out an album of of classical guitar music
Speaker 1: and it was amazing, and I just thought, Burnie, if
Speaker 1: you've been playing at the outfield, I would have been
Speaker 1: a Yankees fan. You know. I think that, Goodell, why
Speaker 1: hide this? Why keep this buried? Now? People will love
Speaker 1: you for it. People are going to love you for it.
Speaker 1: People love Steve Smith. I love Steve Smith even always.
Speaker 1: Even though he's a raven, He's the only raven I
Speaker 1: like him and Rod Woodson historically only ravens that I've
Speaker 1: ever liked. Although no one will ever think of him
Speaker 1: as a raven after he retires. I won't anyways. Even
Speaker 1: though it's been some good there's been good memories. He's
Speaker 1: a panther to me, and he's a panther for life.
Speaker 1: And he's one of the best quotes and one of
Speaker 1: the best guys the NFL scene, I think over the
Speaker 1: last and even though he's out for this season uh
Speaker 1: due to injury and may not be coming back. He
Speaker 1: was supposed to retire this year. Now it's up in
Speaker 1: the air. He might try to make a comeback. Even
Speaker 1: though he's out, he's still providing some great quotes. He's
Speaker 1: doing some charity work, and so he was talking to
Speaker 1: some Baltimore reporters this week about the Christmas season, and
Speaker 1: he had a little message, uh for a little guy
Speaker 1: named Santa Claus, and he said, if you come down
Speaker 1: my you come down my chimney in the middle of
Speaker 1: the night, that's gonna be your last delivery. So hardcore.
Speaker 1: I love Steve Smith. I can picture him saying it
Speaker 1: like kind of sounding mean, but also like a little
Speaker 1: bit of a smile. I love it. And what I
Speaker 1: love the most is that I did not know that
Speaker 1: Steve Smith was such a militant Jew like it just
Speaker 1: hates hates Christianity in general. I mean, that's not even
Speaker 1: that's what he said about Santa Claus. There's other quotes
Speaker 1: about what he said about Jesus. If Jesus ever comes
Speaker 1: near me, I'm gonna take his head clean off. And
Speaker 1: I think was quote that did not happen. You know what,
Speaker 1: My My even better quote than Steve Smith is what
Speaker 1: Santa Claus responded. He said, Santa Santa asked, Santa, I said, Santa,
Speaker 1: what do you think about Steve Smith? Santa Santa replied,
Speaker 1: you feel you're feeling froggy, then jump? I wish you would.
Speaker 1: I wish you would. Oh see, here's why I like
Speaker 1: that song. It is because if you know Goodell like
Speaker 1: I do, you know he can play the xylophone like
Speaker 1: a mean mother. Goodell plays the Zilah phone like like
Speaker 1: like a centipede, you know what I mean. He's got
Speaker 1: like he's like he's got a thousand limbs lits to play.
Speaker 1: And that was just him showing off. I think that
Speaker 1: was even really a song. I think that was just
Speaker 1: him messing around before they actually got in the studio,
Speaker 1: and I just thought was great stuff. I think it's
Speaker 1: a great B side from Goodell on the Cadets. That's
Speaker 1: a fan. I like that. I feel like the Joe
Speaker 1: the you know, the conversation about each headline gets shorter
Speaker 1: and shorter just because Anthony wants to get to that
Speaker 1: next hot track. Oh I don't even know what the
Speaker 1: hot tracks gonna be. I just get excited when I
Speaker 1: hear it. I mean, I'm a music fan, all right.
Speaker 1: I like two things, music and Roger Goodell, and this
Speaker 1: combines them. Serena Williams not one of those two things,
Speaker 1: but someone that I am a big fan of. I'm
Speaker 1: a huge tennis fan. This is not a bit or anything. Uh,
Speaker 1: Tennis very ignored in in America these days. Serena Williams
Speaker 1: on her way if she's not already the greatest player
Speaker 1: of all time and coming off one of her best
Speaker 1: seasons of all time this week was named the Sports
Speaker 1: Illustrated sports Person of the Year. Well deserved. I was
Speaker 1: a little worried that her loss in the US Open
Speaker 1: would have, you know, kind of canceled her chance out
Speaker 1: for this was an awesome That's the only thing that
Speaker 1: made a questionable was that was that loss at the
Speaker 1: end only made a questionable. But she's still won three
Speaker 1: Grand Slams. I couldn't think of who would be in
Speaker 1: second place. Who else could have taken that picture looking
Speaker 1: great on the whatever you call it, beautiful woman And
Speaker 1: yet somehow people there was a big contention and a
Speaker 1: controversy that came up when she was named sports Person
Speaker 1: of the Year from the horse community, and it was
Speaker 1: it was vocal, it was aggressive, and there was a
Speaker 1: lot of fans of American Pharaoh, who was the horse
Speaker 1: this year that won the triple clock crown right, and
Speaker 1: they were very upset that Serena Williams won the award
Speaker 1: over a horse, which is insane to me. Again, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say, I think, as a lot of things are,
Speaker 1: I believe it's a little bit of racism. I think
Speaker 1: it's insane that you would want a horse to be
Speaker 1: Sportsman of the Year. But I think the easy fix here,
Speaker 1: put Serena on the horse. You put Serena on the horse.
Speaker 1: Put the horse like having the horse standing on a
Speaker 1: tennis court, you know what I mean, Like straddling the
Speaker 1: net and have her holding a racket and then a
Speaker 1: whip in one hand, like hitting the horse, and then
Speaker 1: like hitting a serve with the other hand. I think
Speaker 1: that would have settled it right away. But I'll tell
Speaker 1: you right now. But oh my god, oh my god,
Speaker 1: a centerfold. He would like you'd fold out and it
Speaker 1: would just be the horse and her. That that's I mean,
Speaker 1: that's better than the swimsuit issue me and who really
Speaker 1: should have been Sportsman of the Year touched. I mean,
Speaker 1: Airbud's just been so much for so many people for
Speaker 1: so many years that I think it would almost be
Speaker 1: like it's almost has someone when someone gets an oscar.
Speaker 1: They get it for like their body of work. Just
Speaker 1: for that last performance that would have been h air
Speaker 1: but on the cover of s I would have been
Speaker 1: I would have been fantas right. I don't think it's
Speaker 1: necessarily just for air Bud Golden Retriever. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's necessarily um for what was it in Airbud Golden Receiver,
Speaker 1: Golden Receiver that that would be a much better better
Speaker 1: title or Airbud Spikes back That was a good one. Touched. See,
Speaker 1: that's volleyball. The touchdown doesn't apply really. Uh that that's
Speaker 1: more Brandon's uh, you know, that's his game. Check on
Speaker 1: from volleyball now to soccer basketball. I'm curious what the
Speaker 1: next sport Brandon. I think probably badminton. That's a good one. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Brandon was insistent that I got in the Airbud Spikes
Speaker 1: back plug. I like that. Are they getting longer? They
Speaker 1: are getting longer from my request. That sounds like that
Speaker 1: sounds like Goodell edited to keep Greg's job. But but
Speaker 1: I'll go with it. Greg Star Wars has coming out
Speaker 1: on Friday. Yeah. Our last headline Thursday night, right, well
Speaker 1: Thursday nights. But you know it comes out the night before,
Speaker 1: but Friday, and Friday is the big day. But Thursday
Speaker 1: night is I think Thursday night it's all sold out.
Speaker 1: But there you are, you gonna be You're gonna be
Speaker 1: waiting in line. Now I'm not. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: Star Wars. The whole thing annoys me. Have you seen
Speaker 1: all the other six Star Wars movies? I have not
Speaker 1: seen the last three. I mean I saw the first,
Speaker 1: you know, I saw the three original ones when it
Speaker 1: was a kid. I wouldn't say they ever grabbed me.
Speaker 1: I was definitely not against them in any way. But
Speaker 1: I wasn't one of those sort of Star Wars kids
Speaker 1: like you were. You were. We were talking about the
Speaker 1: Avengers the other night or I think it was Batman
Speaker 1: Richard and I haven't seen like any I haven't seen
Speaker 1: any of those movie. You don't like superhero movies, you
Speaker 1: don't like action like a movies. I could see a
Speaker 1: dumb action movie. Well, it would have been with you,
Speaker 1: probably like Pacific Rim or something like that. I can't
Speaker 1: believe that when we saw that movie together. I hated
Speaker 1: that movie. Um. I see every bad any the worst
Speaker 1: it looks, the better, the more excited I get about it.
Speaker 1: If Vin Diesel's in, it would be down, Like I
Speaker 1: saw the last witch Hunter in theaters, no one I see.
Speaker 1: I would see that more. If it has a potential
Speaker 1: to be so bad it's good maybe or just kind
Speaker 1: of fun, Like I would love Mad Max. I'm going
Speaker 1: to see that. I know it doesn't in the theater,
Speaker 1: but like I can never get over the fact that
Speaker 1: we're adults, like watching other adults in plastic outfits and
Speaker 1: then people leave there like, oh no, the Avengers, that's
Speaker 1: really good. Check out that one. That's going to change
Speaker 1: your mind when half of the movie are guys running
Speaker 1: around and like silly, funny outfits like Robert's and people like,
Speaker 1: oh no, but it's good and there's you know, there's
Speaker 1: good acting, there's good actually, Like at what point, like
Speaker 1: is it isn't it okay for adults to just turn
Speaker 1: that off and and have absolutely no imagination maybe for
Speaker 1: to get into that, like it's totally ridiculous that they're
Speaker 1: running around with superpowers. There's a million books in the
Speaker 1: world that I'll never get to read. There's a million
Speaker 1: great movies or documentaries that I'll never get to see. Like,
Speaker 1: spend your time on that spend your time on the kids.
Speaker 1: Something I can I see. I thought you were always
Speaker 1: upset that like people who wanted to go see the
Speaker 1: movies were dressing up, like people would get like dressed
Speaker 1: up like Obi wants. No, you just only people. You
Speaker 1: don't like to have like a high wardrobe budget in
Speaker 1: your film. You want all the actors to be wearing
Speaker 1: their own clothes or just like or just smocks. I
Speaker 1: could go with a period piece. That would be fine,
Speaker 1: because it would make sense for the period. But there
Speaker 1: was never a period where like some super strong guy
Speaker 1: was picking up buildings and throwing it down because he
Speaker 1: got too angry and ripped off his shirt like that.
Speaker 1: That never that never happened, And I know that never happened.
Speaker 1: So when I'm watching those movies, I never can get
Speaker 1: past the fact that that's Mark Ruffalo in a totally
Speaker 1: preposterous outfit, Like doesn't he feel stupid? Okay, So, like
Speaker 1: how I can't watch musicals because when they all started singing,
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is so dumb. You're like that, but
Speaker 1: for little girls, you're like that version of it. We
Speaker 1: just can't. You can't set a second sense of wonder
Speaker 1: and be like, oh, Wow, that's Superman, Like, that's Batman
Speaker 1: kicking ass. You can't you can't get into that. No.
Speaker 1: I mean, if if you could come up with some
Speaker 1: sort of scenario where it's really well written and it
Speaker 1: somehow makes sense in the world that we live in,
Speaker 1: then maybe I could get into it. Happen. I bet
Speaker 1: if you saw I bet, if you saw Captain America
Speaker 1: Winter Captain America to the Winter Soldier, you would love
Speaker 1: it. It It was a great It was a great movie. Um.
Speaker 1: I actually had tickets for Friday. I was gonna Star
Speaker 1: Wars at noon on Friday, tickets in advance, and now
Speaker 1: I had to give them away because I have to
Speaker 1: go shoot something that I'm doing as a favor, much
Speaker 1: like this podcast. And that's that's an interesting song. Um.
Speaker 1: If you know Goodell as well as I do, you
Speaker 1: know that people call him the Big Kuna and he's
Speaker 1: always wanted like a theme song, Like whenever he walks
Speaker 1: into the room, he kind of looks around a little
Speaker 1: bit like why aren't they playing this? And I never
Speaker 1: realized what he was talking about, what he was being
Speaker 1: four until I heard that song. That's go and ask
Speaker 1: the Big Cahuna Big, Yeah, that's a that's a good
Speaker 1: one again. Goodell knocked it out of the park. A
Speaker 1: lot of people talk about Producer of the Year for him,
Speaker 1: and I cannot I can see it happening. I don't
Speaker 1: know who would go, who else would who als would
Speaker 1: be there? Maybe she did a great job last week
Speaker 1: for Producer of the Year. I mean that's a podcaster.
Speaker 1: She did a great job on the sound. Remember, Yeah,
Speaker 1: she was great. I don't know if if she was
Speaker 1: so good, if I'm just comparing her to what I'm
Speaker 1: used to, but she was good. Maybe LP from on
Speaker 1: the Jewels. But I think Udell and what were the
Speaker 1: chances of us getting Goodell in here to actually produce
Speaker 1: the podcast just for maybe like our like our super
Speaker 1: Bowl show? Just to get him in here? Why not?
Speaker 1: Should be pretty easy, right, Yeah, I'll send him an email.
Speaker 1: Actually it's not an email. It's one of those things
Speaker 1: we like, put a thing in a tube and then
Speaker 1: you stick it and it flies up. But he he
Speaker 1: reads everything you see. You maybe see him in the elevator,
Speaker 1: the escalator, wherever it is that you often run into.
Speaker 1: I take both, you know, I you know I want
Speaker 1: to work out, but I also I'm gonna Rush. Our
Speaker 1: hot take of the Week sponsored by No One UH
Speaker 1: is provided by Chuck Pagano this week, who I who
Speaker 1: I really like as a quote and as a as
Speaker 1: a guy. I don't know if he's the best coach
Speaker 1: in the world, but I like the way he sounds.
Speaker 1: I can tell why his players love him. And they
Speaker 1: asked him about the probability at this point that he
Speaker 1: is not going to be the coach of the Colts
Speaker 1: next season. And his response to that was, they can't
Speaker 1: eat you. They can't eat you. They can fire you,
Speaker 1: but they can't eat you. So if the worst thing
Speaker 1: is a year from now, let's say I'm in boys
Speaker 1: he playing him with my granddaughters, I'm gonna be fine.
Speaker 1: That's true. You know, a lot of a lot of
Speaker 1: football coaches do get eaten by the owners after their fire.
Speaker 1: They do. They are eating consumed. It's in the contract.
Speaker 1: But with Pagano, you just can't eat him, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Edited because I used the C word. See,
Speaker 1: I can picture Goodell. I can picture them planning he
Speaker 1: needs a little something extra and needs a little something extra,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean that's kind of a more of
Speaker 1: a Marange gee. And then he threw in kind of
Speaker 1: the the industrial kind of thing at the end. It's
Speaker 1: a big trademark of the G Man. Well, the NFL
Speaker 1: celebrates the span of Carritage month and uh, that was
Speaker 1: just part of the whole package. I just realized that's
Speaker 1: why they call him the Big Gahuna, not the Big Kahuna,
Speaker 1: because it's Goodell with the G that's that get it good? Now,
Speaker 1: I always feel like an idiot. The T shirts make
Speaker 1: more sense now. Our Ask Anthony segment through the question
Speaker 1: is provided by Craig Are. Uh, if you wanted to
Speaker 1: find him on Twitter CFR six two four at CFR
Speaker 1: two six four, would you want to find him on
Speaker 1: to I don't know. I'm just making sure just to
Speaker 1: give him a shot up. But no one's gonna be like, well,
Speaker 1: I gotta look that guy up here. You're you're very
Speaker 1: angry when I didn't give one of the people shout out.
Speaker 1: So I'm just making sure. Craig asked what are Anthony's
Speaker 1: thoughts on a version of the Will Smith Concussion movie
Speaker 1: coming out featuring a retired Airbud touch job. Abud, I
Speaker 1: mean I would. I would be so happy because the
Speaker 1: movie Concussion does not look good to me, all right,
Speaker 1: I don't like the way we're talking about, you know,
Speaker 1: like them in costumes when they put on like a
Speaker 1: ridiculous accent for the whole movie. Will Smith, you don't
Speaker 1: talk like that Will Smith movie on the phone. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's a really good that's a really good accent, Will Smith.
Speaker 1: But in a whole movie, talk like yourself maybe in
Speaker 1: the beginning, have the accent and someone like you know
Speaker 1: that you see something from someone's point of view where
Speaker 1: they kind of like make it into his own. You
Speaker 1: were seen the movie where they talking like they talk
Speaker 1: in a different language and then all of a sudden
Speaker 1: they just phase it into to make it happy and
Speaker 1: make people okay. Then you've not seen as much science
Speaker 1: fiction as I have. I don't like I don't like
Speaker 1: the movie Concussion. But if Airbud, if it was airbud concussion,
Speaker 1: touch job, which was that's basically the basketball version was
Speaker 1: airbud concussion, then first of all, I'm gonna say, if
Speaker 1: a golden retriever has a concussion, how would you know?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, there's no protocol. They all
Speaker 1: seemed like they have concussions anyway, They don't really know
Speaker 1: what's going on. They can't really follow, they can't really
Speaker 1: follow instructions. They would never be allowed to play um
Speaker 1: I I think the whole movie would be lawyers arguing
Speaker 1: over which sport did the most damage, because Airbud's played
Speaker 1: every sport, and every sport he plays involves going face
Speaker 1: first without a helmet, even though we have the technology
Speaker 1: to give him a helmet. Like, Airbud tortured himself in
Speaker 1: front of us for years and we loved it. But
Speaker 1: now where are we when Airbud needs us? Now? Where's
Speaker 1: the applause? And I'd have to say that my favorite
Speaker 1: part of the movie would be when air Bud kills himself.
Speaker 1: That would be terrible, everybody. Abud is one of America's
Speaker 1: greatest treasures. He's following us both on that's following us
Speaker 1: both on Twitter. Now that's the tragedy. Airbud trying to
Speaker 1: work a shotgun. So he'd be like the he would
Speaker 1: be the Mike Webster of of the Concussion movie. Essentially,
Speaker 1: I think he'uld be like more edited for just the
Speaker 1: right amount of Airbud like Webster was like two early.
Speaker 1: Airbud knows what's happening to him. It's the tragedy of
Speaker 1: air Butud. I think we were good until then. We
Speaker 1: have to cut that out. I think you guys can
Speaker 1: believe it. I won't have I won't have any cuts
Speaker 1: to my airbut and you know, on and every cut
Speaker 1: has to just be filled in with touchdown air butud
Speaker 1: but touched by Wait, no one. No one is going
Speaker 1: to see that movie. I am not saying this from
Speaker 1: a perspective of that. I worked for the NFL, and
Speaker 1: obviously it's an uncomfortable movie for the NFL. I don't
Speaker 1: care about that. I just am predicting that movie is
Speaker 1: gonna tank because who wants to go see a movie
Speaker 1: about concussions on December. No one wanted to see Will
Speaker 1: Smith as Muhammad Ali when that came out on Christmas.
Speaker 1: They're definitely You don't remember remember working for Paul Hall. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Greg and I our first internship out in l A.
Speaker 1: We worked for place called Hallway Pictures, guy named Paul
Speaker 1: Hall who produced mostly movies with with an African American
Speaker 1: audience in mind, you know, movies for everybody. But he
Speaker 1: we would get a lot of movies about slavery. Remember that,
Speaker 1: we would he would get screenplays about slavery and he
Speaker 1: wants sat us down. He goes guys, and he was
Speaker 1: like giving us advice. He wasn't like madis was guys.
Speaker 1: White people do not want to sit in a movie
Speaker 1: theater for two hours and listen to how they are.
Speaker 1: You're like, no slavery movies, no movies with racism, Like,
Speaker 1: we cannot have that in the concussion. It's just people
Speaker 1: sitting in a theater listening to how screwed up they
Speaker 1: are for watching football. No one is going to want
Speaker 1: to see that movie. Ever. This is why I keep
Speaker 1: you around, seeing that I do remember now that you're
Speaker 1: telling me that it happened. I would have never remember
Speaker 1: that ever happened. And that was great. Pall was great best.
Speaker 1: He was the best. Whenever I hear it, when I
Speaker 1: see a movie like Twelve Years of Slave, I'm like,
Speaker 1: do people do not want to sit in a theater
Speaker 1: and listen? Now? Screwed up? He did make Shaft fifteen
Speaker 1: nine Miles to Jacksonville edited by Goodell or good And uh,
Speaker 1: now we have fifty nine miles to Jacksonville, which has
Speaker 1: gotta be we only heard the chorus there. That's gotta
Speaker 1: be a racist song. I guarantee every verse is just
Speaker 1: a racist. Here is his plan. Hey, here, listen to
Speaker 1: listen to Williams's album and copy it as poorly as possible.
Speaker 1: Let's come up with a city, come up with some
Speaker 1: sort of travel, and then put it together. And that's
Speaker 1: I want to be Loosten to Williams song I Will
Speaker 1: not have it one of my favorites. Fift to Jacksonville
Speaker 1: is like the least romantic thing you could ever say,
Speaker 1: fifteen miles away from the worst place in the world.
Speaker 1: All right, we almost we almost forgot our listener of
Speaker 1: the week on iTunes. Yo Man three four four five,
Speaker 1: three to five. You know it doesn't really come off
Speaker 1: all off the tongue too easily. But I like this
Speaker 1: comment and we encourage everyone to leave comments on iTunes.
Speaker 1: You guys have done a great job with that. We
Speaker 1: have a ton of comments and that helps us in
Speaker 1: the ratings and all this stuff. And Yo Man says,
Speaker 1: I got into a car accident while typing this review,
Speaker 1: which continues to be a problem for our listeners. They
Speaker 1: are laughing so hard they get into accidents, and they
Speaker 1: tweet us pictures and send us pictures, so so we
Speaker 1: feel for you. But we appreciate the five stars, and
Speaker 1: he says Denny Funny as and Greg with the best
Speaker 1: supporting role of two. That's always say to all our
Speaker 1: g VP listeners, if you are listening to it, don't
Speaker 1: be driving around. You're gonna in a car accident. Put
Speaker 1: your car in your garage, close the door, make sure
Speaker 1: the heats on, and then just sit back and then
Speaker 1: just drag it on, drift off. Listening to the Rosenthal
Speaker 1: and Justin mcvanity project r j VP. All right, let's
Speaker 1: let's talk. Every week we do movie recommendations or book recommendations.
Speaker 1: Last week we do recommendation and we talked about what
Speaker 1: shows we would like to see. This week, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a little bit different. You're gonna do anti recommendation.
Speaker 1: You're gonna tell me about a movie not to see. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I I I never walk out of movies. I rarely
Speaker 1: walk out of things. But I I've walked out of
Speaker 1: many live shows. I cannot stand plays and musicals um
Speaker 1: and and I get like a I get a rush
Speaker 1: out of walking out. It's like I made this decision.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and waste my time anymore.
Speaker 1: I walked out of Macbeth. I saw McBeth the movie,
Speaker 1: the FoST Spender movie, Fast Spender movie U Macbeth, and
Speaker 1: I was very excited for it. I love the play,
Speaker 1: uh and I love Fast Spender. I love all the
Speaker 1: actors involved. And I could not stand it. It is Shakespeare,
Speaker 1: which I like, but everyone, every single character, no matter
Speaker 1: what the situation or what's going on, is whispering. Every
Speaker 1: line is whispered. And it just drove me nuts where
Speaker 1: I thought, like, you know what, it's I got another
Speaker 1: hour left in this, I'm just going to get up
Speaker 1: and leave. And I got more joy. Did you hear them? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you could hear them, But it was just it just
Speaker 1: it was too much. It was too much that I
Speaker 1: couldn't stand it. And I got up and left, and
Speaker 1: I was more. I was happier that I left than
Speaker 1: I ever would have been. Uh entertained by any movie. Shakespeare.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're you, You're the title of your first
Speaker 1: album is called Shakespeare's Such a Shakespeare fan. You were, really,
Speaker 1: I mean, you were genuinely an addict when we were
Speaker 1: in college. Is Shakespeare not? And now it seems like
Speaker 1: maybe you're falling a little bit out of love with Bill. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean i've kind of you know, I've read the
Speaker 1: players that I like, and I know them well enough
Speaker 1: that it's tough to watch. It would take a lot
Speaker 1: for me to go see Shakespeare. Shakespeare playing now. I
Speaker 1: still like the quotes, but I can't. I can't sit
Speaker 1: down and go go front to back. Oh, your girlfriend's
Speaker 1: wearing a mustache. You can't recognize her. I get it.
Speaker 1: That's not a comedy. My my uh Anti recommendation is
Speaker 1: very specific to adults who are considering going to Frozen
Speaker 1: on Ice without children, because those people do exist. And
Speaker 1: if you listen to last week's episode, I talked a
Speaker 1: little bit about how it was going to go to
Speaker 1: Frozen on Ice on Friday. You wanted to come badly,
Speaker 1: just you always come up with big ideas. You also
Speaker 1: say you want to dress up as Santa. I thought
Speaker 1: of my house, but I want to freak out your
Speaker 1: kids because Santa is kind of scary, you know, hilarious.
Speaker 1: I don't want to read them out, but I would do.
Speaker 1: I want to do fun things with with my god kids. Yea,
Speaker 1: and you keep cutting me out. They had she had
Speaker 1: her she had her Christmas pageant, school and you didn't
Speaker 1: tell me about I would have gone to that. I
Speaker 1: don't have a real job. I got my days free
Speaker 1: and want to be a part of my godchild's life
Speaker 1: and you won't let me. I mean, I could sue
Speaker 1: you should have. You would have really enjoyed because we're
Speaker 1: not religious at all, my my wife and I, but
Speaker 1: she goes to a Methodist church um preschool, and I
Speaker 1: mean they really do it up. They like are acting
Speaker 1: it out where there was an actual baby playing the
Speaker 1: role of Baby Jesus that was walking up, you know,
Speaker 1: to the manger or whatever. I don't I'm not, I
Speaker 1: don't know, And I was just thinking, like, that's a
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on that baby in that spot. Sure,
Speaker 1: that's your first role. Yeah, where do you go from there?
Speaker 1: Baby playing Jesus? I mean nowhere. I mean, if you
Speaker 1: can find me an actor who played baby Jesus and
Speaker 1: then went on to become anything other than a damn
Speaker 1: hair win addict, I'd love to hear it. We've gotten
Speaker 1: well off track here. Frozen on Ice went there, had
Speaker 1: a much better time than I expected, because it's awesome
Speaker 1: to just spend time one on one with your with
Speaker 1: your kid and just have sort of a you know,
Speaker 1: it's not the whole family, it's just me and Alice.
Speaker 1: And she was so happy, Like during intermission you could
Speaker 1: just tell her mind was like going to you know,
Speaker 1: a million miles an hour and talking and so excited.
Speaker 1: She was excited all day and it was great to
Speaker 1: see that. But there was like nothing in me, like people, oh,
Speaker 1: but did you enjoy the show? And I was like, like,
Speaker 1: nothing would have It would have nothing would have occurred
Speaker 1: to me, less than to think about trying to enjoy
Speaker 1: the Frozen on Ice like a bunch of Disney characters.
Speaker 1: If you didn't know the story, it makes no sense.
Speaker 1: They're literally just playing the movie and like the people
Speaker 1: are dancing around like sort of mouthing the words. Are
Speaker 1: they playing the movie like on a screen, so you're
Speaker 1: watching the movie. You know, it's just like audio from
Speaker 1: the movie, which they've edited in such a way that
Speaker 1: you know, they cut out parts of it because it's
Speaker 1: not I don't think it's quite that long. They cut
Speaker 1: out parts of it. But it's basically them, you know,
Speaker 1: doing sort of the things. I'm mimicking it right now
Speaker 1: while the movie. You just hear the audio and they're
Speaker 1: and they're doing while they're doing figure skating jumps skating,
Speaker 1: are they like are you like, oh wow, that was
Speaker 1: pretty goods An Axle. Yeah, I mean they do some
Speaker 1: they do some jumps and whatnot. But I saw some
Speaker 1: like during intermission, I saw like some groups of adults
Speaker 1: and some of them were pretty young that did not
Speaker 1: have children with them. And now all I was thinking
Speaker 1: was like, you know, Grandma and grandpa better be back
Speaker 1: with the kids at their seats for us. Those people
Speaker 1: should be put on a list. No, they were probably
Speaker 1: highs balls where that was. It was a good Dell's mom.
Speaker 1: He kind of threw her bone and said, all right, mom,
Speaker 1: hopping the studio, I'll let you do one track, one
Speaker 1: track only. And that's kind of how she sings. It's
Speaker 1: how she talks. If you ever get her on the phone,
Speaker 1: it sounds a lot like that. And I have, um,
Speaker 1: let's uh, let's do some predictions greg uh this week. Again,
Speaker 1: I have not repeated any of my my prediction buckets.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and say too loudly into the microphone.
Speaker 1: This week, I've got a new game called put it
Speaker 1: in Perspective. All Right, we we talk a lot about football.
Speaker 1: We don't often get a chance to put it in perspective.
Speaker 1: So you go ahead, What does that mean. It's just
Speaker 1: a game, I'm saying. Okay, kind of like check Pagano,
Speaker 1: he was putting in perspective exactly exactly with the cancer. Um,
Speaker 1: but this is this isn't all have to be cancer related.
Speaker 1: Let's just uh, let's just just give me your give
Speaker 1: me a pick, and give me a pick, and I'll
Speaker 1: give you one of mine. But I'll put it in
Speaker 1: perspective for you. Uh my first pick this week of
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills over the Washington Redskins. Redskins have something
Speaker 1: to play for. They're fighting for the NFC East title.
Speaker 1: Bills are basically out of it. But just watch the
Speaker 1: teams at their peak. The Bills are better team. Bills
Speaker 1: are gonna win that game. Okay, okay, um, that's not
Speaker 1: about pick. I'm gonna put in perspective. You know, at first,
Speaker 1: at first I thought Denver Pittsburgh sounded like a fun game.
Speaker 1: The best defense in the league, This is the hottest
Speaker 1: offense in the league. But then I put things in perspective.
Speaker 1: Child slavery greg one sixty eight million kids are engaged
Speaker 1: in child labor and eighty five million of those little
Speaker 1: whipper snappers are working under hazardous conditions when you think
Speaker 1: about it like that, when you put things in a perspective.
Speaker 1: Steelers went big at home. Do you have another prediction? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I do. The Green Bay Packers this week, coming off
Speaker 1: an impressive performance new offensive coordinator rather new play caller
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, the coach took the play calling duties back.
Speaker 1: Basically said to the offensive coordinator, you're not doing a
Speaker 1: good job. We need to round the ball more. It
Speaker 1: worked last week, It's gonna work again against the Raiders.
Speaker 1: Derek Carr is not coming up to Khalil Mack in
Speaker 1: the in the locker room this time. Packers win big
Speaker 1: over Oakland. Okay, Packers over Oakland, even though at Oakland
Speaker 1: overdone for last week and Packers are gonna tay. It
Speaker 1: was a big time upset picked by me last It
Speaker 1: wasn't big and I I was, I was fully, fully
Speaker 1: into it. Uh, Greg. The Niners can't seem to do
Speaker 1: anything right this season, and Cincinnati has allowed to prove
Speaker 1: on the road this week. But it got me thinking,
Speaker 1: elder abuse. Did you know the one intense senior citizens
Speaker 1: suffers physical abuse from a relative or a caregiver, and
Speaker 1: the vast majority of these cases go unreported, while the
Speaker 1: victims suffer quietly and forgotten. When I think about those
Speaker 1: poor human beings, it really puts things in perspective. And
Speaker 1: I gotta say the forty Niners pull this one out
Speaker 1: at home against the Bungles the Arizona Cardinals this week,
Speaker 1: playing on Sunday Night football, you can't Philadelphia, and it's
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. We're sending one of our great writers, Connor Or,
Speaker 1: to go cover it, and he thinks he thinks Philly
Speaker 1: is gonna win this game. But I disagree. I think
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals are the best team in the NFL.
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna make it to the super Bowl.
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna win the Super Bowl, and I
Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me if they wound up having a rematch
Speaker 1: with your Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl. I think
Speaker 1: Arizona destroys Philadelphia on Sunday Night. I like that, So
Speaker 1: I like I like everything you said. They're except Carson
Speaker 1: Palmer can stay healthy, which is a huge chinks. Uh.
Speaker 1: Greg Um. Carolina Panthers visiting New York to play the
Speaker 1: Giants has all the hallmarks of a classic game. The
Speaker 1: Panthers are chasing history, but the Giants have a little
Speaker 1: history of their own when it comes to stopping undefeated teams.
Speaker 1: If you know what I mean, Greg, not your head, Okay,
Speaker 1: But then I started thinking about how stupid football is.
Speaker 1: When you consider of Crystal Matthewses are under the age
Speaker 1: of eighteen, and the method is the highest relapse rate
Speaker 1: of any drug. It's almost like it's not even worth
Speaker 1: trying to quit. The odds are so stacked against you.
Speaker 1: And when you put it into perspective, looks like the
Speaker 1: Panthers are gonna keep on rolling in the wind column.
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears this week coming off a brutal loss Robbie
Speaker 1: Gold back to back weeks. He's missed a field goal
Speaker 1: to cost him a chance to go to overtime. It's
Speaker 1: been tough in the Minnesota Vikings. They're really in position
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs, but I don't think they're gonna
Speaker 1: make it. I think they're gonna stumb stub their toe
Speaker 1: down the stretch. Maybe they make the playoffs, but they're
Speaker 1: not gonna win this game. I think the the Chicago
Speaker 1: Bears pull off a big division upset over Minnesota. Wow, oh,
Speaker 1: here's my last one. Finally, the beaten and bruised Baltimore
Speaker 1: Ravens play host to the red hot Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 1: And even though three d car accidents were caused by
Speaker 1: texting and driving, and every day in this country alone,
Speaker 1: nine people are needlessly killed by texting and driving accidents,
Speaker 1: that'll just make it all the sweeter When Baltimore pulls
Speaker 1: off the upset against k C, and that was putting
Speaker 1: it in perspective. The man can conduct an orchestra. Goodell
Speaker 1: can do anything. When I saw him wearing the white
Speaker 1: gloves the first time, I was like, what, Roger, Roger,
Speaker 1: what are those all about? And he said, just wait
Speaker 1: and see. And we walked into the next room full
Speaker 1: blown orchestra and Goodell just starts waving around. I don't
Speaker 1: even know how it works, but it was beautiful. It
Speaker 1: was if there is a god. If there is a God,
Speaker 1: then he answers to Roger Goodell, uh Greg Before we
Speaker 1: get out of here. We haven't really talked and not
Speaker 1: we haven't really gotten in detail about about the God kids.
Speaker 1: How are how are my God kids? Walker and Ellis. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was tough this morning because she was supposed to
Speaker 1: go to her school and I was supposed to read
Speaker 1: to her entire class, but she's not feeling very well lately,
Speaker 1: so I still wanted to. It's called the Mystery Reader,
Speaker 1: and this week I was the mystery Reader, and that's
Speaker 1: like a special thing, and I wanted me. I lay
Speaker 1: on time
