Speaker 1: Welcome to episode fourteen of The Rosenthal and jessel Nick
Speaker 1: Vanity Project r JB Number fourteen special in your Heart, Anthony,
Speaker 1: your lacrosse number. Back in the day, I've seen things
Speaker 1: you people wouldn't believe. Offensive coordinators getting fired off the
Speaker 1: shoulder of rivers. I watched d lines glitter in the
Speaker 1: dark near the Golden Gate. All those moments will be
Speaker 1: lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die,
Speaker 1: What a time to be alive. R j VP barely
Speaker 1: made it another week, barely The NFL listened to last
Speaker 1: week's show, and we're managing to do another. Felt like
Speaker 1: that one was the quote I heard was that went
Speaker 1: right up to the line, which I was surprised by.
Speaker 1: I thought we crossed the line several times, um, and
Speaker 1: I thought I would get a reaction, uh, And I
Speaker 1: was surprised by the reaction that I got. Surprised and
Speaker 1: a little infuriated. I don't know if we're even allowed
Speaker 1: to talk about it. I don't want to get you
Speaker 1: in trouble, but I thought that someone would talk to
Speaker 1: me after that one. Instead, they talk to you Now,
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, that's probably the game plan is just
Speaker 1: it's just hope this goes away without anyone getting fired
Speaker 1: in the meantime, and then maybe come back next year.
Speaker 1: There's no chance of money. There is no chance. What
Speaker 1: if they sell it, let's say, and you get paid.
Speaker 1: Why if they sold it already, and what are they
Speaker 1: gonna pay? What is it going to be that I
Speaker 1: couldn't make? That I couldn't make on the sidewalk right now?
Speaker 1: If I walked out there and told it, told two jokes,
Speaker 1: you ever try that. I'm a professional, never had to greg.
Speaker 1: That's how I feel, uh doing this, Uh doing this
Speaker 1: show here. I came in today, Uh drove myself in
Speaker 1: again and wasn't on the list. Uh to get in here,
Speaker 1: had to had come down and get me, which is uh,
Speaker 1: you know show with the level of respect that I'm getting,
Speaker 1: I't wanna get into too much that that was the
Speaker 1: problem last week. If you heard the episode last week,
Speaker 1: I I I spit some fire about the way I've
Speaker 1: been treated and respected on this or lack of respect
Speaker 1: that I've gotten here at the NFL network, and they
Speaker 1: were upset about it, and and you know I would
Speaker 1: say that you were threatened over it, which I which
Speaker 1: of course upsets me to no end. But if you
Speaker 1: listen to the podcast last week, you heard things that
Speaker 1: I said the NFL got upset about. So this week
Speaker 1: I gotta kind of button it up. We're not gonna
Speaker 1: be able to say things like this. I'll say this,
Speaker 1: the NFL network does not know how to appreciate talent,
Speaker 1: and that that has come through more and more clearly.
Speaker 1: And there was a I would say that, like a
Speaker 1: line was drawn and uh, and it was not. It
Speaker 1: was not crossed. You know. I think if people don't
Speaker 1: if people aren't as talented design, they don't know how
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be treated. But you need to feel
Speaker 1: like you're appreciated, and you cannot be. What I'll go
Speaker 1: ahead and say is being screwed with and and you've
Speaker 1: you've kind of you're not. You're a little bit to blame.
Speaker 1: But I give you. I forgive you immediately because you're
Speaker 1: my best friend, but the rest of the network best friend.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm here, That's the only reason that I'm
Speaker 1: here is because we're best friends and I wanted to
Speaker 1: work with you. But I can only abide so much
Speaker 1: disrespect from the league, and it has been coming in
Speaker 1: waves and droves, and I I'm out once. Once you
Speaker 1: flip a switch mentally, you're you're done. That was a
Speaker 1: long clip. Yeah, that was a long clip from last week.
Speaker 1: It's just an example of what we can't do this week.
Speaker 1: Per the NFL, what they frowned upon. You know, they
Speaker 1: just didn't like that. They didn't like Uh, let's say
Speaker 1: they didn't like this. Everyone else at the NFL network
Speaker 1: is a coward and won't come anywhere near me and
Speaker 1: I and rightly so. I understand I'm a little intimidating,
Speaker 1: but I haven't spoken to anyone else. You're the only
Speaker 1: one I talked to. Yeah. That Uh that again, that
Speaker 1: was from last week. I wouldn't say something like that
Speaker 1: this week. Just to protect Greg's job. I just I
Speaker 1: won't go there. I won't total control of this show. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you never had control. I mean, if you had control
Speaker 1: the last week, I wouldn't have been able to say
Speaker 1: that us. And don't be sad, you know, just be
Speaker 1: happy that I ever did this, that I ever did
Speaker 1: any of you the favorite of coming here to this
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna go ahead and call in quotes a
Speaker 1: network that does not know how to handle talent and
Speaker 1: and do this podcast with my best friend Nick. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: those are those are just things. If you were if
Speaker 1: you were trying, if you were tuning in this week
Speaker 1: to hear things like that you're not going to or
Speaker 1: if you're tuning in for the first time ever and
Speaker 1: you have no idea what we're talking about, go back
Speaker 1: and listen to the last episode. Yes, really, because you
Speaker 1: know we're a pair of friends. We're gonna talk about
Speaker 1: football eventually. It's best friends. We're gonna talk about football
Speaker 1: eventually on this show. Some headlines and whatnot. But we
Speaker 1: wanted to get this house keeping out of the way
Speaker 1: since these are the last, you know, a couple of
Speaker 1: episodes and whatnot. It's the final countdown. This this could
Speaker 1: be it. I almost didn't come today once once I
Speaker 1: heard the shenanigans that have been going on here. Your
Speaker 1: emails to me have been more terse, you know, just
Speaker 1: just clearly ready to ready. But you're a pro. You're
Speaker 1: not going to pack it in uh us to bring
Speaker 1: in the funny. You're gonna still You're gonna come. Our
Speaker 1: friendship is my only concern. It's the only reason that
Speaker 1: I and I think you know the fans a little bit.
Speaker 1: I want to I want to go out on like
Speaker 1: a solid note. You know, I mean either kind of
Speaker 1: want to get fired or get you fired. Uh those
Speaker 1: are my two options here. But yeah, we will get
Speaker 1: the football quickly. Just to talk about what did you
Speaker 1: do this week? Anything? Uh? Anything not having to do
Speaker 1: with this podcast. Um no that My whole life pretty
Speaker 1: much just exists in relation to you. What. I just
Speaker 1: kind of unplug when I'm not around you. Who do
Speaker 1: you Who do you love more? Me? Or your wife?
Speaker 1: I love my wife more. You had to think about it.
Speaker 1: He had to think about it. You know. We had
Speaker 1: a nice weekend. It was a nice, normal weekend. There's
Speaker 1: no football, you know, Saturdays we went to the movies.
Speaker 1: Uh did you scald herself again? That's not nice. I
Speaker 1: I mean I was I was describing something, an incident,
Speaker 1: and I'll let you know about it later. We you know,
Speaker 1: we traditionally do this later in the show. But you know,
Speaker 1: I moved Walker into Ellis's room last weekend, So that
Speaker 1: was big for your god kids there. Those are my
Speaker 1: two kids there now sharing room. So those are some
Speaker 1: big things happen. Nice. How was how was Elise taking that? She?
Speaker 1: Is she liking it? Or is she kind of upset
Speaker 1: that her Terra task she likes. Does he go into
Speaker 1: Walker going the TP that I got Elise? Uh no,
Speaker 1: not yet. I got his. I got his grig's children
Speaker 1: a TP to put in a bedroom, which I thought
Speaker 1: if I was a kid, I would want a t P.
Speaker 1: And I was right. She loves it. She loves me.
Speaker 1: She loves me more than you or your wife. She
Speaker 1: can now recognize you in a picture, So that's a
Speaker 1: that's a good step. That's good. I've given her so
Speaker 1: many pictures of myself that it's about time. How about
Speaker 1: you anything the last week, I've been doing a lot
Speaker 1: of shows, a lot of stand up, building up new material.
Speaker 1: Uh so if this, if this podcast falls through, I
Speaker 1: have something to fall back on. UM. I went to
Speaker 1: a friend of mine and I am my writing partner.
Speaker 1: I'm working on a TV show idea with it with
Speaker 1: a friend of mine, and we were like, let's go
Speaker 1: out and do something. Let's like have fun, We'll go
Speaker 1: to dinner, enstop just watching a movie. Let's go do something.
Speaker 1: And he was like, do you want to go see
Speaker 1: tollub Quality downtown l A. And I was like, yes,
Speaker 1: I love tollub Qually like they'll be awesome. And we
Speaker 1: go to dinner the really nice restaurant Broken Spanish. If
Speaker 1: you've never been, it's a great Mexican food place. And
Speaker 1: then we get to this concert. It says doors at eight,
Speaker 1: show starts at nine, and I'm like, Club Quali is
Speaker 1: a pro. He's an older hip hop guy. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be like, he's gonna come on by nine thirty. Show
Speaker 1: is gonna be over by by eleven. I was very excited.
Speaker 1: I got there at nine thirty. There were two two
Speaker 1: and a half solid hours of opening acts, each of
Speaker 1: them terrible, each of them worse than the one before it.
Speaker 1: They would all come out and they would be like,
Speaker 1: all right, are you guys excited? No one was excited
Speaker 1: to see any of them, No one knew any of
Speaker 1: them were. And then they would get like bummed out.
Speaker 1: They'd be like, oh, you're just here to see club
Speaker 1: quickly like of course we are, and by like eleven,
Speaker 1: I look over. My friend is asleep next to me.
Speaker 1: He's sleeping sitting down. We're sitting down. Yeah, we're in
Speaker 1: the back. It was kind of like a raised seating thing.
Speaker 1: I was gonna get with the kids in the front
Speaker 1: and I said, you know, let's leave. I was like,
Speaker 1: it'll be more fun if we just leave before tellub
Speaker 1: qually gets on stage, then it will be if we
Speaker 1: sit and watch the whole things were so annoyed and
Speaker 1: we walked out. He was maybe minutes away from coming
Speaker 1: on stages. DJ was up there. The lights had gone down,
Speaker 1: and we're like, screw it. Hard out of eleven thirty
Speaker 1: and walking out of that building was the best thing
Speaker 1: I've ever done, Better than any concept I've ever been to,
Speaker 1: Better than mac Miller show we just a little while back.
Speaker 1: Mac Miller was great because mac Miller was professional. There
Speaker 1: was a real venue that wasn't just trying to sell
Speaker 1: drinks for for two and a half hours, three and
Speaker 1: a half hours they mac Miller came on, killed it
Speaker 1: and left. That was great. That was a great show,
Speaker 1: even though you tried to ruin it by leaving the
Speaker 1: T shirt that I got your daughter in a bar, scumbag.
Speaker 1: That was That was sad. Although I bought the shirt
Speaker 1: online app you bought it. You bought a shirt, not
Speaker 1: the it was. It was crag. This is I mean,
Speaker 1: I hate you just as much as I hate the league.
Speaker 1: Let's go what was cut, but the world water I
Speaker 1: brought it from bluttle three hundred six mouths das most
Speaker 1: das in the jungle with the leaders, we cheeta. That
Speaker 1: was kill up coolly. I assume, well that was tillpqally
Speaker 1: and Most Deaf Black Star. You know their album together,
Speaker 1: the first one, which was great, So that was technically
Speaker 1: most Deaf. But I figured he didn't hear tillib qually
Speaker 1: in concert, So why did you trick me? Wh you
Speaker 1: say we're gonna play some slib quily Black Star is
Speaker 1: basically the same thing. Yeah, but why not play a
Speaker 1: verse from silib qually because most def is better? You know.
Speaker 1: That's another controversial statement. This is why the NFL has
Speaker 1: madded us Greg, because you say things like that without thinking,
Speaker 1: without thinking about feelings. Let's do what was cut last week?
Speaker 1: I said, I don't. I assume this was cut because
Speaker 1: of the way that I said it, the rage that
Speaker 1: I said it with. I said, edited because we bawled
Speaker 1: too hard, which doesn't sound which doesn't sound like that
Speaker 1: big a deal. I guess I was referencing doing a
Speaker 1: podcast with um, your old Drew on the NBA network.
Speaker 1: Um And when I say it like this. When I
Speaker 1: say it in this order, it sounds kind of benign,
Speaker 1: but I guess I was. I was full of rape.
Speaker 1: Tone was bad. It was very reminiscent of Bill Simmons
Speaker 1: in his famous rant against Roderigodell, which shout out to
Speaker 1: Bill Simmons, will see you and have him Bill, which
Speaker 1: helped expedite his Uh. I think he got suspended for that.
Speaker 1: He said testicular fortitude. Right, That was at the end,
Speaker 1: But but there was one where he basically just challenged
Speaker 1: our fearless leader. And all of this is getting edited again.
Speaker 1: Really no, because that was what I did was fine.
Speaker 1: I just repeated it. It sounded it was benign. Oh guys,
Speaker 1: if you got to edit it for your job, that's okay.
Speaker 1: But I think this was fine. Um, some regular swear words.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and say them because it's fun
Speaker 1: to do. I for a little while, I was saying
Speaker 1: instead of but you want that, you want that, you
Speaker 1: know you want those hard constants. At the end, they
Speaker 1: just saying it was kind of weak. Um. And then
Speaker 1: we cut an entire segment we did to ask Anthony's
Speaker 1: last week. One of them was about last comics standing
Speaker 1: and I kind of. If you followed me on Twitter
Speaker 1: during the whole Last Comic Standing thing, you know I
Speaker 1: was not happy with the edit and I kind of
Speaker 1: raged against them, and I compared them to the network
Speaker 1: you're currently This is a trend that you wind up
Speaker 1: being upset with and getting in a fight with your employer. No,
Speaker 1: we edited the last time of Standing it is. It
Speaker 1: is a trend that I have. I bite the hand
Speaker 1: that feeds me many times. But I think that just
Speaker 1: means that some people don't know how to produce me,
Speaker 1: because I've had bosses that I've loved. Shout out to
Speaker 1: Mike Shoemaker. Now the showrunner at Late Night was Seth Myers.
Speaker 1: When I worked on Jimmy Fallon, I told him every
Speaker 1: chance I got. He's the only authority figure that I
Speaker 1: haven't wanted to murder. But some people, some networks, I
Speaker 1: just don't know how to deal with me. And that's
Speaker 1: part of the challenge of dealing with the talent such
Speaker 1: as myself, or they do things like editing your email. Yes,
Speaker 1: but do not call yourself an authority figure over me.
Speaker 1: You are my best friend and that's all friend. Emma,
Speaker 1: my wife, when she heard that, she thought that was
Speaker 1: the funniest part. She loved the whole last podcast, but
Speaker 1: she thought that was the funniest part of the whole
Speaker 1: podcast was hearing that story and thought that story really
Speaker 1: typified that was our friendship in a nutshell. Absolutely. I
Speaker 1: think it was trying to edit, yeah, and and telling
Speaker 1: me afterwards kind of sheep it. She's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I edited. Maybe if this could be my last trying
Speaker 1: yourself and this is very this is very likely my
Speaker 1: last podcast. There's a chance I do one or two
Speaker 1: more going through the end of the super Bowl. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I would like to not I would have
Speaker 1: liked to have not come in this week, but I
Speaker 1: did push because of my best friend Greg. Last thing
Speaker 1: that was cut from last week, Um, this has been
Speaker 1: cut several weeks in a row. Talking about John Clayton
Speaker 1: and his relationship edited four touchdown. Maybe that gets through Brandam,
Speaker 1: what do you think? Doubtful? You guys are getting worse
Speaker 1: and worse as we go on. I can't believe the
Speaker 1: things you leave in versus what you take out. Um, whatever,
Speaker 1: maybe that's the last what was cut. That's fine. Let's
Speaker 1: get the headlines. Let's trauma fellas one night on the
Speaker 1: cop top like at the special Trauma Jam Trop make
Speaker 1: the Gal. That was Till Coolly for sure. I remember
Speaker 1: that song in college. That was one of the first
Speaker 1: Club Quilli songs that Greg introduced me to. Greg was
Speaker 1: a big fan back in the day. Was that was
Speaker 1: moving something? Yeah? That was that was great. That was
Speaker 1: early tlib qually. Check them out if you have the time.
Speaker 1: So we gotta start with the big news in the
Speaker 1: NFL this week, the big game coming up. Everyone is
Speaker 1: talking to get your party, get your get your chips,
Speaker 1: get your sandwiches, get the platter. It's almost time and
Speaker 1: the preparation has begun for the two thousand and sixteen
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. Oh man, I am excited about this this year,
Speaker 1: Team Irvin facing off against Team Rice just one of
Speaker 1: the most storied rivalries in the NFL. People, you know,
Speaker 1: as we taped this on Wednesday, getting ready for the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl Draft, a lot of Pro Bowl mock drafts
Speaker 1: around just just wild. I'm like a Jewish kid on Christmas.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited. I can't even believe I'll got. The
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl is such a big event to me. Like
Speaker 1: when people talk about the NFL and they see the
Speaker 1: NFL is like the biggest, the biggest league in the country.
Speaker 1: When they say football is the biggest sport in the country,
Speaker 1: they're really talking about the Pro Bowl. It wasn't for
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl, then I think this lead would fold
Speaker 1: inside inside a month. Everyone just waits all year long.
Speaker 1: Who's gonna be in it, what's gonna who's gonna win,
Speaker 1: who's gonna get picked, who's gonna start. People love the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, the players love the Pro Bowl. It is
Speaker 1: It is the creme de la creme. The state of
Speaker 1: Hawaii is just on fire this week. But let's let's
Speaker 1: move on and at least for now, we'll try to
Speaker 1: distract yourself. We'll talk a little bit about can what
Speaker 1: I mean, what else is there? What else happened you know,
Speaker 1: over the last week, and uh, let's start in Denver,
Speaker 1: where what happened must have pleased Anthony. We haven't talked
Speaker 1: about this at all. I don't know if you watch
Speaker 1: the game live or what happened. But but of course
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos Peyton, manning their great defense, UH took
Speaker 1: care of the New England Patriots, and they did it
Speaker 1: in a particularly vicious fashion. Hitting Tom Brady twenty times
Speaker 1: in the game, crushed him, knocking him over. I mean,
Speaker 1: just domination up for on. It was amazing they were
Speaker 1: still in this game. If anything, it was a memorable
Speaker 1: performance by Brady and Gronkowski to even get them in
Speaker 1: that position. But ultimately you gotta give the Broncos credit,
Speaker 1: and their pass rushers went to extraordinary length to humiliate Brady,
Speaker 1: one of them telling Robert Clemco of the mm QB
Speaker 1: that he tried to rub his dong on Tom Brady
Speaker 1: after the play. He tried to get on top of
Speaker 1: him and just rub him with the old dog. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I support this move. I love that. It's like I
Speaker 1: love that he's an unnamed source, like he was like, Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you this printed, but don't use my name.
Speaker 1: But I support this move because Tom Brady is the
Speaker 1: Blarney Stone of dogs. Rub your dog on Tom Brady
Speaker 1: and you have good luck for the rest of your life.
Speaker 1: Now did he actually rub his dog on Tom Brady
Speaker 1: or did he just try and fail? I guess we'll
Speaker 1: find out in the Super Bowl if Denver wins. It's
Speaker 1: obvious Tom Brady got a dong rubbed on him by
Speaker 1: one of the Denver Broncos. Who do you think it was?
Speaker 1: I've a guess I know who it was. It was.
Speaker 1: It was von Miller. Of course it's von Miller. What
Speaker 1: other player sack celebration is pelvic thrust? He's obsessed with
Speaker 1: with dog, putting his dog out there. I mean, I
Speaker 1: love von Miller, but everyone does. Von Miller's entire family
Speaker 1: rubbed their dog on Tom Brady during that game. Tom
Speaker 1: Brady loves von Miller, it does now. Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: Kesha edited for Crack his whack. Brandon producer was dancing
Speaker 1: during that, uh entire segment and then the second you
Speaker 1: made your joke, he just stopped. Yeah. I immediately went
Speaker 1: to my pen to the paper. Why come on that cold?
Speaker 1: That can say? Brand that was been in a great mood,
Speaker 1: by the way, all week because he got another broadcasting job.
Speaker 1: This is not a joke. He will now be the
Speaker 1: announcer of what is it again? It's now girls, It's
Speaker 1: gonna be a spring sport track and field, women's track
Speaker 1: and field or something. But you got a new gig. Yeah,
Speaker 1: basically baseball and softball for season. That's awesome. Were we
Speaker 1: doing before? Fuller men's and women's basketball Okay, so different schools,
Speaker 1: different sports. That's great, man, you're really spreading out by this.
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for the joke. No, the joke is the job.
Speaker 1: You got that good. Uh, let's stay in Denver and
Speaker 1: talk about that game. And Tom Brady took a lot
Speaker 1: of criticism before the game from the Broncos, who really
Speaker 1: went on him in the press. Certainly after the game,
Speaker 1: a lot of people enjoyed, uh this Patriots loss. I
Speaker 1: wrote an article about you know, picking You know, people
Speaker 1: just enjoy Patriot and Freud kind of Belichick Brady. They
Speaker 1: love seeing him lose. You do too. And the wife
Speaker 1: of Eric Decker, Jesse James, who's also a country star,
Speaker 1: I believe, has a theory of why Tom Brady gets
Speaker 1: picked up it as much. And and she says it's
Speaker 1: because he's so good looking that if he wasn't that
Speaker 1: good looking, people would not pick on him this much.
Speaker 1: They're they're jealous, and they just want to go after
Speaker 1: a guy that seemingly has it all because he's so hot.
Speaker 1: That is crazy. Here, here's here's why that theory is
Speaker 1: is terrible. I'm gonna debunk this right now. Because Peyton
Speaker 1: Manning is a million times hotter than Tom Brady. There's
Speaker 1: a million times sexier than Tom Brady. It's like Peyton
Speaker 1: Manning is I mean like a male model, like he
Speaker 1: is like on the runway. He is in every commercial
Speaker 1: for a reason because he is gorgeous. Tom Brady, he's
Speaker 1: not a bad looking guy, but he's no Peyton Manning.
Speaker 1: He's no Peyton Manning. Can you identify with with this?
Speaker 1: Getting picked on more? Because because you're a good looking guy,
Speaker 1: I mean more than you probably, I would think I
Speaker 1: don't really get picked on that much people. People are
Speaker 1: afraid of me, Like people can't even talk to me
Speaker 1: when I come into work. That's what. I don't get
Speaker 1: picked on at all. Who's here looking Eli or Payton? Oh,
Speaker 1: I mean that's tough. That's tough because that that third
Speaker 1: brother is no joke either, the third Manning brother. I
Speaker 1: would say, I would say, Peyton Payton has got this
Speaker 1: classic I'm gonna say, like a Greek Adonis kind of
Speaker 1: good looks. You know what I mean that you would
Speaker 1: like if you could, if you could sculpt your baby's
Speaker 1: face to look like Peyton Manning. You tell me you
Speaker 1: wouldn't do it. Right now, if you could just like
Speaker 1: mold it with your hands. You wouldn't try to make
Speaker 1: them look exactly like Peyton Manning. I'm just kind of
Speaker 1: freaked out by that good looking baby. I'm telling you
Speaker 1: I'm not alone here. Everyone thinks that that Peyton Manning
Speaker 1: is better looking than Tom Brady. That's all. That's all
Speaker 1: the bomb, that all many a blasphem the past. That
Speaker 1: was a Greg Rosenthal's corn cover band. Uh. They were
Speaker 1: called on the cob and they were they were something.
Speaker 1: They were really something back in the day. Greg got
Speaker 1: so much because of his corn cover band on the
Speaker 1: cop I'm I'm missing You're a juke this week with
Speaker 1: these with these bands in between, I miss him. The
Speaker 1: Broncos fans enjoyed this victory. As I said before, during
Speaker 1: and after. Viral video this week came out where a
Speaker 1: Broncos fan had tipped a porta potty over during before
Speaker 1: the game with the Patriots fan inside, and the video
Speaker 1: is essentially just a gleeful Broncos fans laughing at the
Speaker 1: fact that some Patriots fan had to crawl out of
Speaker 1: this tipped over porta pott Yeah. I support this, of course.
Speaker 1: I hate the Patriots more than I hate Let's say
Speaker 1: this network, Um, I I love when people tip over
Speaker 1: Porter John's because it's always the guy's fault who got
Speaker 1: tipped over. Do you know what I mean? You would
Speaker 1: think it's a cruel thing. If you go to a
Speaker 1: if you go to like an away game in the Jersey,
Speaker 1: you do not use the porta potty, and if you do,
Speaker 1: you can get your friends to have your back. I go,
Speaker 1: is this anyone who's ever seen the video of a
Speaker 1: porta potty getting tipped over? It's not the first time,
Speaker 1: this is not It might be Manning's last rodeo, but
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not this fan's last rodeo. They've seen
Speaker 1: it before. It's happened before. You don't do it. It's
Speaker 1: like if you get the guys at concerts, this happens
Speaker 1: to me. They get in a fight and then I allright,
Speaker 1: break it up. All right, See, I'm done with this.
Speaker 1: Screw you guys. I'm gonna go use the porta potty
Speaker 1: and it get tipped over immediately. You gotta know better.
Speaker 1: You gotta know better. The tail as old as time.
Speaker 1: I mean, but they had the concert fight followed by
Speaker 1: the tipped over porter potty. Whoever always tempted. Whoever invented
Speaker 1: the porta potty had this in mind, he knew it
Speaker 1: was gonna happen. I mean, I think it's like the
Speaker 1: It's It's it's first call, It's the first thing you
Speaker 1: look for. With two esprescial shots. They don't tell her
Speaker 1: how many newspapers I read by several papers and I'll
Speaker 1: read them all twice. So that was your old Drew
Speaker 1: bringing it back, bringing back your old Drew guy. He
Speaker 1: was very happy with us last week for playing his
Speaker 1: his his new hits. Um. We definitely talked him up
Speaker 1: last week. Girl Drew is great. Uh is a big
Speaker 1: fan of my comedy, a bigger fan than I would
Speaker 1: say the network is um. He he loves it. He
Speaker 1: thinks I'm funnier than George Carlin and he's right. What's next,
Speaker 1: Greg Praise? Do you do you think that I'm the
Speaker 1: best of all time? That's with that one of those
Speaker 1: articles we talked about way back in episode one or two.
Speaker 1: Do you remember the title of it said Anthony jessly
Speaker 1: links the greatest stand up of all time or something.
Speaker 1: Anthony jesly Look is the greatest comedian who has ever lived.
Speaker 1: I still have it on my phone, I can show you.
Speaker 1: Did you is it framed? It in your bathroom? Nope,
Speaker 1: that's my New York Times Review hot take of the Week.
Speaker 1: We usually do this at the end of the show,
Speaker 1: but it just fits with what we're talking about, right,
Speaker 1: No rules, no rules. We have the Pro Bowl coming up.
Speaker 1: We're not gonna worry about where things go. We're just psyched.
Speaker 1: We're just psyched about the All Star Game, the All
Speaker 1: Star Game of all Star games. Oh yeah, Well, it's
Speaker 1: the whole thing is it's a little distracting knowing that
Speaker 1: just what four days from when we're taping this, Team
Speaker 1: Rice and all the history that comes with Team Rice
Speaker 1: is gonna line up on the field and you start
Speaker 1: to think back about all the great moments in Team
Speaker 1: Rice history. And then they line up against those famous
Speaker 1: purple uniforms of Team Irvin. You get, you got Michael Irvin,
Speaker 1: and you get you got a hula dancer on one side,
Speaker 1: another hula dance on the other side. I'm in, you're
Speaker 1: gonna put a flower necklace on him? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: what time is the game? No one knows, and that's
Speaker 1: a crime. But we have to, you know, soldier on
Speaker 1: and talk about some of the lesser stories like this
Speaker 1: hot take of the week, and I'm gonna give it
Speaker 1: to the Denver Police Department. They were the hot takers
Speaker 1: of the week. Uh put put out a tweet during
Speaker 1: the middle of last week's game the n f C
Speaker 1: Championship with an emoji and then missing Persons unit headed
Speaker 1: to Sports Authority Field that's where they play to try
Speaker 1: and locate the Patriots offense. Go Broncos. Do you see
Speaker 1: what they did there? I see what they were saying
Speaker 1: they was missing. Yeah, that's terrible. Okay, you're the police department,
Speaker 1: all right. First of all, don't jinx your team. It
Speaker 1: was it's in the middle of the game. That is insane.
Speaker 1: It was in the middle of the game, and someone
Speaker 1: quickly did a you know, Twitter put a tweet up
Speaker 1: that said the Broncos at that point had forty less
Speaker 1: yards than the Pages. Hey, buddy, your offense is led
Speaker 1: by Peyton Manning, who couldn't do anything. There was fifteen
Speaker 1: drives in that game. If you didn't have the best
Speaker 1: defense of all time, or at least in this game
Speaker 1: they were, they wouldn't have won. You know, it's insane.
Speaker 1: And also you're you were the cops. That Twitter account
Speaker 1: is for amber alerts and active shooters. What are you
Speaker 1: doing making jokes during a game? If anything bad had
Speaker 1: happened in Denver, if it had been like a radical
Speaker 1: Islam situation, everyone will be fired. Everyone with a trader
Speaker 1: account will get fired. You're saying after that tweet. If
Speaker 1: they during if it was like, oh, while they're getting cute,
Speaker 1: it's going down own. It's like it's like the it's
Speaker 1: like the middle scene from Heat out there and this
Speaker 1: guy's on Twitter messing around brand you ever see the
Speaker 1: movie Heat? Nope? God, you also didn't see uh the movie?
Speaker 1: Where are the intro to the show? It was a
Speaker 1: quote from Maybe we don't have to say it. If
Speaker 1: you know the movie, you can tweet at tweets at it.
Speaker 1: I don't know that's that's so long. The most annoying part.
Speaker 1: If you didn't know that it was from Blade Running,
Speaker 1: you turned off the podcast when I said that. The
Speaker 1: most annoying part to me actually any anything to do
Speaker 1: with the safety of Denver. It's the headline in this
Speaker 1: Washington Post article, which is such a typical headline for
Speaker 1: these articles. This is this is the headline. Denver police
Speaker 1: Department absolutely destroys patriots with masterfull troll job. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: what a masterful troll job from the high jinks from
Speaker 1: the comedic geniuses at the police department. There they are
Speaker 1: like the new National lampoons, the masterful control job. Whoever
Speaker 1: wrote that headline doesn't know what any of those words mean. You.
Speaker 1: Your job is to protect and to serve police. Leave
Speaker 1: the jokes to damn a scheck. What's next? The Act
Speaker 1: and Trust? But I'm not fix? Tell me lord, why
Speaker 1: did you make so many snakes? It is it cool
Speaker 1: for me to punish some of them stakes? Anno? I
Speaker 1: ain't perfect streaming, far from it. I'll get away slick
Speaker 1: and only doing What was that? Snakes? Baby snakes? Is
Speaker 1: that the name of the rapper? Is he just a
Speaker 1: guy who just wraps about snakes NonStop? Just up said
Speaker 1: about why God made snakes. That's a crazy thing to
Speaker 1: wrap about. This is again we have to play some
Speaker 1: some of the music officially approved by the NFL. That's
Speaker 1: in house music. It's not commercial or that's one of
Speaker 1: them brand that was played again the Act Trust But
Speaker 1: I'm not fix. Tell me lord, why did you make
Speaker 1: so many snakes to punish some of the stakes streaming
Speaker 1: far from it. Is it cool for me to punish
Speaker 1: the snakes when they make mistakes? What? What mistakes did
Speaker 1: you snake make? How many snakes do this guy have?
Speaker 1: That's the worst rap songs since it's at the mall.
Speaker 1: But honestly, that guy, that guy opened for club quality.
Speaker 1: He was one of the openers at this concert, like
Speaker 1: they were all oh so bad? Was that like an edge?
Speaker 1: For a second, I was thinking, maybe it's like a
Speaker 1: kid show. It's like an anti snake song, like stay
Speaker 1: away from the Snakes kids. We're trying to teach the
Speaker 1: kids about snakes. But in like a cool, hip hop,
Speaker 1: young type of way. It sound like a guy who
Speaker 1: was doing a karaoke to a hip hop song and
Speaker 1: like lost his place and just improvised. The Carolina Panthers
Speaker 1: won the NFC Championship and it was not close. I
Speaker 1: was wrong about the Arizona Cardinals. The Panthers way unrolled,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people still not happy about it.
Speaker 1: Seahawks fans who lost a couple of weeks continue to
Speaker 1: complain week after week. We're just keep hearing more whining
Speaker 1: by the Seahawks fan. This week, a Seahawks fans started
Speaker 1: a petition on change dot org to ban Cam Newton
Speaker 1: from the stadium century Link Field. I don't think he
Speaker 1: wants him back in the city of Seattle at all.
Speaker 1: They want him to stay away, Anthony. This is this
Speaker 1: is so so awful that I kind of love it.
Speaker 1: Like Seahawks fans are becoming the new Patriots fans, Like
Speaker 1: they just they expect to win, and when they don't,
Speaker 1: they act like little children. And let me start with this.
Speaker 1: Petitions mean nothing. Stop them. Everyone's all. We have a
Speaker 1: petition to ban Justin Bieber, a petition to deport so
Speaker 1: and so. No one cares. Obama is not reading through
Speaker 1: your signatures making sure everyone's legit. No one cares. And
Speaker 1: this petition is even worse than anything else. It's online petition.
Speaker 1: Um Ever since Snakes on a plane bombed to the
Speaker 1: box office, no one cares what you organize on Facebook.
Speaker 1: Here's the letter the guy wrote. That's a fact band
Speaker 1: Cam Newton from century Link Field. He's one of the
Speaker 1: most unsportsman like quarterbacks in the NFL and deserves to
Speaker 1: be banned from Century Link Field. He dislikes Washington as
Speaker 1: a whole anyways, So why not move to make this possible.
Speaker 1: That's it, That's all he wrote. Ah oh there was
Speaker 1: the top part. Oh, I thought that was just the
Speaker 1: article give me, Give me more music. Cam Newton is
Speaker 1: one of the most unprofessional, unsportsmen like individual on the
Speaker 1: face of the plan. So I say, for the two
Speaker 1: thou sixteen seventeen, when the Panthers come to play in Seattle,
Speaker 1: he should be banned from entering the stadium. They should
Speaker 1: teach him to put his arrogance in check. Two exclamation
Speaker 1: points I don't even like one. Definitely not too. Are you, sir,
Speaker 1: are racist? I'll say it again. Anyone who doesn't like
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, anyone who doesn't love Cam Newton, is racist. Racist, racist. Racist.
Speaker 1: My mom tried to say, no, I think it's that
Speaker 1: you want quarterbacks to act like quarterbacks. My mom's racist.
Speaker 1: I'm calling it out right now. You you got some
Speaker 1: notice for your truth to power speech last week about
Speaker 1: cam Newton when we were picking on the Seahawks, right,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, and Reddy did you watch that? You?
Speaker 1: I did not like. I like the people put together things.
Speaker 1: They produced things for me. They took my rant about
Speaker 1: how Austin cam Newton is reading reading the letter that
Speaker 1: that they wrote about tearing down the twelfth Man flag
Speaker 1: and throwing it, saying that in Seattle, uh, their quarterback
Speaker 1: goes and visit sick kids in the hospital. And so
Speaker 1: they played my clip of me like making fun of this,
Speaker 1: and then they showed a bunch of pictures of Cam
Speaker 1: Newton with the sick kids in the hospital. Of course
Speaker 1: Cam does that. Cam is the best. Cam is the best.
Speaker 1: And if you don't like it, if you don't like it,
Speaker 1: you're amastad. Do you hear me? You are? You're Magneto
Speaker 1: in Twelve Years of Slave? Is what you are. If
Speaker 1: you don't like Cam Newton, who's the actor what's his name?
Speaker 1: I don't think Magneto? The characters in that movie and
Speaker 1: the actor who played Magneto, what's his name? Brandon? You
Speaker 1: saw it? Remember Michael Fastbender? You're Michael Fastbender and Twelve
Speaker 1: Years of Slave. If you don't like Cam Newton, you
Speaker 1: are you are the prosecutors who prosecuted O. J. Simpson.
Speaker 1: If you don't love Cam Newton, you are Mark Ruffalo
Speaker 1: and you can count on me. I've never seen that movie.
Speaker 1: I bet he would just don't understand. I know who's
Speaker 1: racist in real life? Anyone who's like really racist, like
Speaker 1: the white guys in the Heat of the Night, Gene
Speaker 1: Hackman and Burning Mississippi. That's what you are. If you
Speaker 1: don't like Cam Newton, I've never really seen the movie.
Speaker 1: He might be a good entire movie Hoosiers. Maybe that
Speaker 1: would fit in your way off. I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: understand why you're not clear on this. Yeah, I mean no,
Speaker 1: Greg's I mean it's it's over four, Like he's so
Speaker 1: far off. He's like playing different games. He I don't
Speaker 1: even count those two. He's just oh win, oh um,
Speaker 1: you are. I can't think of any other racist people.
Speaker 1: What's in the movie about slavery. They've got some, They've
Speaker 1: always have some. Ah, you're any white person in Roots
Speaker 1: the series if you If you don't love Cam Newton,
Speaker 1: I love Cam Newton. He's my favorite. Stop have you
Speaker 1: went to hospital leading You'll see see that was your
Speaker 1: old Drew again. I think the NFL is gonna be
Speaker 1: psyched when they hear this one this week. They thank
Speaker 1: you guys, this is a palate cleanser. I agree, they're
Speaker 1: gonna love it. I love a football, our love of
Speaker 1: all things Pro Bowl again Sunday at a time to
Speaker 1: be determined in Hawaii, because it doesn't even matter what
Speaker 1: time it is, because it's always Pro Bowl time. I'll
Speaker 1: make it. I'll make it a I'll I'll admit something
Speaker 1: right now. Since they changed to this new Pro Bowl format,
Speaker 1: I have not watched the Super Bowl because every year
Speaker 1: I get ready, I have a party, I get ready
Speaker 1: to watch the Super Bowl, and then I remember that
Speaker 1: I've got the Pro Bowl on my ti vo, right,
Speaker 1: And why watched Super Bowl when you can watch the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl? Why watch regular old rosters when you can
Speaker 1: watch a super roster of Pro Bowlers. That's what I'm
Speaker 1: all about. You. You're a huge fan of that Kyle
Speaker 1: Rudolph performance when he won the m v P of
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. Boom. I got the Kyle Rudolph Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl jersey, like everybody does. A lot of airbud action
Speaker 1: coming at us this week on Twitter, and we we
Speaker 1: always appreciate that. The downside for the Carolina Panthers for
Speaker 1: missing um, I mean, for making the Super Bowl, rather
Speaker 1: is there gonna have to miss the Pro Bowl? I mean,
Speaker 1: Cam Newton is definitely It's the first time I've seen
Speaker 1: him not smile when they told him after the game
Speaker 1: that he wasn't allowed to go, he was Devastatd's one
Speaker 1: of the reasons you hate the Patriots so much. All
Speaker 1: seven Patriots that made the Pro Bowl decided not to go,
Speaker 1: even Malcolm Butler, who was making his first Pro Bowl.
Speaker 1: I understand you don't want to tarnish it with their bs,
Speaker 1: with their with their with their Tom Brady tainted crowd. Please,
Speaker 1: Luke Kickley and the Panthers are going to the Pro Bowl,
Speaker 1: I mean the Super Bowl rather, But Luke Kickley got
Speaker 1: the big pick six last week, got the touchdown late
Speaker 1: in the game, kind of cemented uh that win was
Speaker 1: a very exciting moment. And when he did, the cameras
Speaker 1: for Fox could not help but catch a fan get
Speaker 1: a little too ex sighted Anthony and flipped forward over
Speaker 1: the railing onto the field shout out to Josh Hamilton's
Speaker 1: I don't even remember the last time I had a
Speaker 1: wallet lead in my back pockets. Rough filmed out of
Speaker 1: movie and applications, but I had little on my time
Speaker 1: doing go to Smooth. That's a rapper hired by the
Speaker 1: NFIL to talk about his job interview which I'm assuming
Speaker 1: he did not get because of the lint on his tie.
Speaker 1: That guy didn't even mention snakes once? And how were
Speaker 1: you not ready with that song? I I set it
Speaker 1: up so well. I had my hand up forever you did.
Speaker 1: But I thought we were going to the next one
Speaker 1: because they're the same topic kind of, you know, same team.
Speaker 1: Why would I have my hand up for a whole
Speaker 1: another topic. Don't edit this either. Don't worry. The tension
Speaker 1: is thick in the studio. He's the only one of
Speaker 1: the enough network that I like. Wow, Cam Newton the
Speaker 1: only one that I've ever talked to that that's true too.
Speaker 1: Cam Newton and the Panthers, Uh, they've been really embraced
Speaker 1: by the hip hop community. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: knew this. There's a picture in the locker room with
Speaker 1: Cam Newton and DMX and Mike Epps too, and also
Speaker 1: before the game, I believe Jeezy was their future was there.
Speaker 1: They're all on the sidelines just kind of. It's a
Speaker 1: team that, uh that the Panthers embraced hip hop, and
Speaker 1: hip hop has embraced them right back. That's so that's
Speaker 1: great to hear. Um. If you were if you're gonna
Speaker 1: have like roppers, in your corner, like rappers have my back,
Speaker 1: But if I probably don't have your back, like who
Speaker 1: who would be legitimately do have rappers in your corner? Um?
Speaker 1: I would want C Murder. Do you remember C Murder?
Speaker 1: He was a masterpiece brother who called himself C Murder
Speaker 1: and then he murdered someone. So if you're gonna call
Speaker 1: yourself C Murder and then you murder someone, I feel
Speaker 1: like that's a good guy to have on your side.
Speaker 1: Like he just does not give a you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Do you think that? Do you think that
Speaker 1: he was related to a murder and be murder? Because
Speaker 1: D Murder was dope? I would go mob Deep was
Speaker 1: the other one that came to mind. I don't know why,
Speaker 1: but being you know, living in New York, they just
Speaker 1: seemed to represent that sort of They just seemed a
Speaker 1: little scary to me. If I could have mob Deep
Speaker 1: represent me, I would go mob Deep. Yeah, that would
Speaker 1: Those are all good, good choices by you. Um, I've
Speaker 1: got a couple of represents. Definitely have my back. Year
Speaker 1: old Drew certainly has my back. We've talked about him
Speaker 1: many times. A guy named open Mike Eagle, who was
Speaker 1: a great rapper once sampled me in one of the songs,
Speaker 1: which I really liked. Yeah, but he kind of sped
Speaker 1: it up, so you can't if you know the line
Speaker 1: I used, like you get it that it's me, but
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have understood it. I'm waiting for someone to
Speaker 1: name dropped me in a song. That's what I'm excited about.
Speaker 1: My friend Jay Farrow said someone, uh, someone dropped him
Speaker 1: in a song. Um, Apathy actually dropped him in a song.
Speaker 1: You need to come up with a good nick nickname,
Speaker 1: I mean rhyme for Jessel Nick. I told you not
Speaker 1: to use the N word on this show. That's gonna
Speaker 1: have to Brandon. You have to edit that. Um here's
Speaker 1: the rappers that I would have my back, in addition
Speaker 1: to the ones who already have back. Uh Black Rob,
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure, like Shine Shine Back and and Mace. Oh.
Speaker 1: I want someone. I want someone to have the power
Speaker 1: of the Lord on my back. Wait for you to
Speaker 1: get it. That was DMX shout out to d What
Speaker 1: do you think? What do you think we listened to
Speaker 1: more in college? That song? We listen to that a lot,
Speaker 1: or like well, Black Rob, because I loved that you
Speaker 1: played like more than any song since I've met you.
Speaker 1: What about things you can Do Buy? Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: up there. That was up there. But I think since
Speaker 1: we've since I've known you and I guess you know
Speaker 1: we were roommates in various houses for three years that
Speaker 1: they're in a couple of years out here. Uh in
Speaker 1: those five years, yeah, Black Rob, you played NonStop for
Speaker 1: six months straight and would not stop. Like I it
Speaker 1: was a hard song to get too sick of. But
Speaker 1: whether it was in the car, there was at home, like,
Speaker 1: it didn't matter. You would just put it on. In
Speaker 1: the second it did, you just like lit up like
Speaker 1: a Christmas tree and started dancing around. You know, it
Speaker 1: was great. It's a great song. I stand by it
Speaker 1: to this day. You know what they're gonna They're gonna
Speaker 1: play that at the Pro Bowl for whoever wins. The
Speaker 1: winners get to go in the locker room and hear
Speaker 1: that song. It is going to be. I think they
Speaker 1: actually got him. Black Rob is doing the national anthem?
Speaker 1: Is he for the game year? I think he's still
Speaker 1: in jail edited for a Loha. It's the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 1: First off, Brandon, when I go to the bathroom, I
Speaker 1: tell you turn my mic off. I don't want your recording,
Speaker 1: and secondly, I wanted you to play that in the beginning.
Speaker 1: What do you have to say for yourself? I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I'll accept it. At least someone around here tells me
Speaker 1: that they're sorry. I thought that as like a recording
Speaker 1: of of the Marcus Thanksgiving dinner, just like that was
Speaker 1: the conversation going on that he's looking at me, Who's
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving dinner? Marcus family? Okay? And I know his last
Speaker 1: name was Marcus Um. You know what the title of
Speaker 1: that song is, by the way, Drunken Carnival. It's you
Speaker 1: know what I was gonna say. It sounds like when
Speaker 1: Frank Drebin goes into the bathroom and in the Naked Gun,
Speaker 1: he doesn't know his mike is on, and he goes
Speaker 1: in the bathroom starts singing in there. That's what it
Speaker 1: sounded like. Have you seen that movie? Nope? Have you
Speaker 1: ever seen a movie? I mean, we raised amish. I
Speaker 1: don't understand how you've missed Blade Runner, Naked Gun. What
Speaker 1: years did they all come out? Yeah, this is aging
Speaker 1: you a little bit, Anthony. Naked Gun is a classic.
Speaker 1: You've seen Airplane right, may have a long time ago. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: let's move on edited for Greg is fighting for his job,
Speaker 1: girl Drew. That was Basketball and Seinfeld one of his
Speaker 1: newer songs. Not forty Deuce, which I hope we have
Speaker 1: coming up soon. Uh, but but Basketball and Seinfeld, which
Speaker 1: you released a few a few months ago. Great song
Speaker 1: with the with the Seinfeld theme in it, which is cool.
Speaker 1: People just like it. People like that. What's our last headline? Greg?
Speaker 1: Chris Christie is in the news this week. He's a
Speaker 1: noted Cowboys fan. As if the Cowboys couldn't get anymore
Speaker 1: unlikable that that image of Chris Christie and Stephen Jones
Speaker 1: and Jerry Jones hugging at the end of the Cowboys
Speaker 1: Lions the Cowboys victory over the Lions in the playoffs, uh,
Speaker 1: is one of the funnier and yet um distasteful, I
Speaker 1: would say images of the last five years. Chris Christie
Speaker 1: is a little worried that Johnny Manziel could be coming
Speaker 1: to the Dallas Cowboys. He says he will throw his
Speaker 1: body in front of the Johnny man Zel train if
Speaker 1: it heads towards Dallas. I mean, if anyone's body could
Speaker 1: derail a train, it would be Chris Christie. I think
Speaker 1: that the people of New Jersey should rise up and
Speaker 1: throw Chris Christie in front of a train. Forget politics.
Speaker 1: If the governor of Pennsylvania, who I cannot name, nor
Speaker 1: would I know the name if I heard it, had
Speaker 1: an opinion on any team outside of Philly in Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: that wasn't they suck? Let's kill them, there would be
Speaker 1: a statewide riot. Could you can think of any other
Speaker 1: like representative of the land. And they've They've got the
Speaker 1: Giants in Jersey? Is that it is that the only
Speaker 1: team they have? They got the Jets. Yeah, but the
Speaker 1: Giants play in Jersey. The Jets play in New York. Please,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I care about Pittsburgh and nothing
Speaker 1: but Pittsburgh. So I don't know these other things. But
Speaker 1: I've never even heard of the Jets. They have those
Speaker 1: two football teams. They're close to Philadelphia, so there's a
Speaker 1: lot of New Jersey. I can see him like any
Speaker 1: of those teams. That would be totally fine. But you
Speaker 1: cannot love the Cowboys, one of the most hateable teams
Speaker 1: beside the Patriots in the world, not just not just
Speaker 1: the NFL. I I if a governor of Massachusetts or
Speaker 1: someone that was running for governor of Massachusetts openly, like
Speaker 1: the Cowboys or some other team. That would be it.
Speaker 1: They're done, that will be it. It would be over
Speaker 1: and now and Christie has done. I'm not gonna vote
Speaker 1: for him now. I'm not gonna vote from him less
Speaker 1: unless he comes out on Team Irvin and the Pro
Speaker 1: Bowl north Side California Tree. That was three kids trying
Speaker 1: to ruin a beat and succeeding. You. You reminded me
Speaker 1: when you were talking about Team Team Iran that the
Speaker 1: thing that people don't talk about the Pro Bowl enough
Speaker 1: is the emotions. Um and and a lot of it is,
Speaker 1: you know, great emotion, but there's a lot of heartache
Speaker 1: to there's there's a losing team on the Pro Bowl
Speaker 1: every year, and I just have to think back a
Speaker 1: couple of years. Um, I think it was two thousand
Speaker 1: fourteen Team Sanders lost. And and not not only the
Speaker 1: team Sanders lose, they haven't even existed since where is
Speaker 1: Team Sanders? I bought my Team Sanders Jersey. They just
Speaker 1: left town. Now it's Team Rice and Team Irvan. There
Speaker 1: was a Team Carter once, only only St. Louis. Can
Speaker 1: you can understand what you're going through, and I get it.
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's a great thing to be invited
Speaker 1: to Pro Bowl, but if you lose, you almost wish
Speaker 1: that you had never been born. If you lose the
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, let's take it the recommendation station, Greg. I've
Speaker 1: got just a book this week. I didn't get to
Speaker 1: see a movie. Okay, it's it's one of those that's
Speaker 1: the time of year from movies where everything sucks, everything
Speaker 1: is terrible. Well, I'm still catching up. Sure, I have
Speaker 1: a lot to catch up on. Still, so I saw
Speaker 1: three in a row last week. Sona saw the Holocaust
Speaker 1: movie Hilarious. It was good, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend
Speaker 1: it for other people. Was it tough? You tried to
Speaker 1: get me to see it with you and I refused to. Here,
Speaker 1: I can't. I give the Paul Hall quote. White people
Speaker 1: don't want to pay twenty dollars just in a movie
Speaker 1: theater for two hours and listen top up there it was.
Speaker 1: It was tough, um, but it was worth seeing. And
Speaker 1: The Big, The Big, The Big Short, which I thought
Speaker 1: they did an awesome job. But I'm gonna recommend an
Speaker 1: Melisa that Charlie Kaufman movie because it passed my one
Speaker 1: big test for a movie. It's crazy. My wife hated it,
Speaker 1: absolutely hated it. It's creepy. But I have never seen
Speaker 1: any movie anything like it. And if you can leave
Speaker 1: the movie theater and say that that you have never
Speaker 1: seen anything like that and you will remember it for
Speaker 1: a long time, that that means something. Sure, I would
Speaker 1: agree with that. Would you say it's the kind of
Speaker 1: movie that you should see with someone else, Like you
Speaker 1: need to have someone with you to kind of talk about.
Speaker 1: It's like a love story where you'll feel you get
Speaker 1: the pressed if you go about alone. Because every Friday morning,
Speaker 1: I've got to get out of my apartment for a
Speaker 1: couple of hours to leave, let my housekeeper door thing
Speaker 1: and uh, and I go see a movie at the
Speaker 1: movie theater down the streets. I might go see Anomalisa.
Speaker 1: But I can't pull the trigger on Anomalisa. It just
Speaker 1: seems like like what am I doing? What am I
Speaker 1: doing here with these problems? I think you want to
Speaker 1: I think you want to talk to people about it afterwards.
Speaker 1: It's it's not really it's not so much about the
Speaker 1: love story and feeling lonely. It's more strange. Um, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna recommend a book and a half. Greg, Uh, this
Speaker 1: is uh this book I read. It's called The City
Speaker 1: and the City. You heard me, right, The City and
Speaker 1: the City by China mea mia villa. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: ahead and say, that's how you pronounce that, like I
Speaker 1: like when you look up to Yeah, you've read The
Speaker 1: City in the City by China. Is a famous artist,
Speaker 1: I assume a writer. I assume it's a guy. I
Speaker 1: don't know why I think that. I think I saw
Speaker 1: a picture China. Who knows that could be anyone, That
Speaker 1: could be a guy or a girl. Um. Great book.
Speaker 1: It's a science fiction, but it's kind of like a
Speaker 1: like a police detective investigation kind of thing, so it's
Speaker 1: grounded in reality, but in this weird world where I
Speaker 1: hated it for the first like fifty pages, and I
Speaker 1: just kept going and then fell in love with it
Speaker 1: by the end. I always loved the phrase that if
Speaker 1: you read a book, a good book, you do the
Speaker 1: work for the first hundred pages, and then if the
Speaker 1: book is good, that the book takes over and it
Speaker 1: does the work for the rest of it. That I
Speaker 1: I thought this was a great example of that, and
Speaker 1: I just started a book. Brandon. You can even turn
Speaker 1: your mic off at this, you know how even listen
Speaker 1: because it doesn't apply to you. But Greg, I'm reading
Speaker 1: your new favorite book. You will love. It is called
Speaker 1: A Little Life. I don't know, I know, I don't
Speaker 1: know who. I can't remember the woman author's name, but
Speaker 1: I'm a hundred pages deep. It's like a Japanese American. Yes,
Speaker 1: and it is incredible. It's about like a four friends
Speaker 1: starting to their friendship together in college and then it
Speaker 1: goes on through the rest of their life. I'm still
Speaker 1: like just out of the college phase, but it is
Speaker 1: an amazing book. If you liked And again, I'm only
Speaker 1: a hundred pages and I usually don'tcommend books until I'm
Speaker 1: finished with them, but I like this so much. I
Speaker 1: was up all last night. Um really loved it. And
Speaker 1: if you liked uh, the Goldfinch, it's kind of that
Speaker 1: sort of writing style that that I think you would
Speaker 1: really respond to that, Yeah, a Little Life. Look up
Speaker 1: A Little Life and forget the author's name. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be I've been made so much if the name is
Speaker 1: so complicated, Greg wanted to marry her. That was a
Speaker 1: recommendation station doll mechanism. Let me know the exacts on
Speaker 1: the basket. Hey, get your face, that was your old
Speaker 1: drug forty deuce Again. We'll allow to play as much
Speaker 1: oldrewp as we want because he supports the show. He's
Speaker 1: given us permission to go nuts with the Old Drew.
Speaker 1: Every week we have a segment called Ask Anthony, where
Speaker 1: a listener asked you something. This week, Vic Vinegar. Vinegar
Speaker 1: went with the quantity over quality approach, asked about twelve questions,
Speaker 1: and Vic it worked because one of them is the
Speaker 1: one that we chose. What has been your favorite aspect?
Speaker 1: Anthony of the Rosenthal and jessel Nick Vanity Project. I
Speaker 1: didn't see that coming. I was a little behind on
Speaker 1: my r G VP whisper. Sorry, guys, this is an
Speaker 1: easy one from me. There's only one thing that I
Speaker 1: even kind of like about this show, and that, of course,
Speaker 1: is that I get to make fun of Brandon. Whenever
Speaker 1: I want, I can just look up and just things
Speaker 1: just popping into my head. You know. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: not a normally a mean person. I'm not. I'm not
Speaker 1: from my sult humor. But when I see Brandon, it
Speaker 1: just inspires me. To just crush him. And if you
Speaker 1: if you saw a picture of Brandon, you would know
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. You would you would know. And
Speaker 1: of course no one has ever taken a picture of him.
Speaker 1: No one would waste the film. Uh film yeah, film yeah? Ok, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're you're like amused. I think that was your comeback.
Speaker 1: That's not not the fact that no one would ever
Speaker 1: take your picture like you're a vampire, Like you're an
Speaker 1: amish vampire. I'm not saying he's pale. I'm pale. He's
Speaker 1: just not He's not even ugly. It's just there's no
Speaker 1: facial charisma. I'm gonna go ahead and say, would you
Speaker 1: agree with me? I would disagree? All right. If Brandon
Speaker 1: can ever afford a therapist, this is gonna come up.
Speaker 1: I'm your therapist. Also, I like I like, you know,
Speaker 1: getting to clamped around with my best friend, Greg, friend
Speaker 1: best friend on the on the show. I like that
Speaker 1: I give I give Greg something to live for. I'm
Speaker 1: sure it's not easy to uh be here doing these
Speaker 1: things that that. I think. I mean, every we can,
Speaker 1: I try to quit. You really talk me out of it.
Speaker 1: You enjoy this? This is you know, one of the
Speaker 1: best parts of your week, and I think you'd like
Speaker 1: getting to It's like I'm a I'm a comment rocketing
Speaker 1: by and you just get to grab onto the tail
Speaker 1: and just ride it for about an hour every weekend
Speaker 1: and let go and kind of just use my momentum
Speaker 1: to kind of float through space. And I mean, I've
Speaker 1: got a great life, and you have a wife and
Speaker 1: kids and and like a real job that anon give me,
Speaker 1: give me love and contentment, fulfillment these kids. Sure, sure,
Speaker 1: but you don't get the rock like I do, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't have a refrigerator full of nothing
Speaker 1: but champagne and sparkling water like I do. That. I
Speaker 1: that I like to kind of just let you kind
Speaker 1: of hang in my and my aura. I really wish
Speaker 1: that people could see the video of Anthony acting out
Speaker 1: Anthony as a rocket ship flying through the air and
Speaker 1: me trying to hang on and really get into it.
Speaker 1: I can do it all. I can do it all
Speaker 1: three dimensions. On this podcast, our listener of the week
Speaker 1: is ice Block ice Block Films. That's what he's going
Speaker 1: by on iTunes and again, you can leave your comments
Speaker 1: for us and your radi on iTunes and subscribe on
Speaker 1: the show on iTunes. You can go back listen to
Speaker 1: all the other episodes. As long as the Rosenthal and
Speaker 1: jessel Nick Vanity project, as long as it exists. I
Speaker 1: mean it'll it'll be there forever. That's a that's the
Speaker 1: great on before you read this, what are the chances
Speaker 1: is our last episode? I don't know? You tell me?
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, I'm saying it's not up to me,
Speaker 1: like I will. Let's say i'll come back for I'll
Speaker 1: come because you're off next week. Yeah, but but well
Speaker 1: I'm in I'm at the super Bowl, so we can't
Speaker 1: do the podcast. They offered. They offered to let me
Speaker 1: Brandon you know this thing. They were like, wouldn't have
Speaker 1: then to go to the super Bowl, like go do
Speaker 1: stuff like with Greg for the week if we give
Speaker 1: him a ticket, not a hotel, not transportation, not two
Speaker 1: tickets so I could bring a friend one ticket. You
Speaker 1: are bending the truth theory, that's that's what you told me.
Speaker 1: And am I wrong? What was the truth? I don't
Speaker 1: know something now. I want to know the truth. I
Speaker 1: think I was. I was saying, like is that a possibility?
Speaker 1: I don't even know if it would have I don't
Speaker 1: even know if that would have happened, I couldn't even
Speaker 1: get you, Uh, couldn't get you anything else. I think
Speaker 1: the more like the most insulting thing they could do,
Speaker 1: they would have done. And that sounds like it maybe
Speaker 1: like half a ticket, maybe a ticket for the last
Speaker 1: year's game. Um, Anthony, it's gonna it's gonna be tough
Speaker 1: for Anthony to stay interested in football after the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, so that's a that's a problem. Um,
Speaker 1: So I hope, I hope it keeps going. But like
Speaker 1: I said, Ice Block Films left this note best podca
Speaker 1: you send me to Hawaii? Oh that would then I
Speaker 1: would do. I'll do. I'll commit to three years right
Speaker 1: now if they send me to Hawaii for the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 1: Brandon asked some of the absolutely asked, that would be
Speaker 1: incredible if that actually had some of the Shadowy League
Speaker 1: figures are definitely Aska, asks c Sun or whatever the
Speaker 1: hell you're coaching now. The best podcast on Earth is
Speaker 1: what Ice Block Film says. I had a dream and
Speaker 1: Greg and Anthony were coming to Tokyo to do an appearance,
Speaker 1: slash signing and sell a bration of this podcast. I
Speaker 1: went to it and Anthony had sent a ten year
Speaker 1: old boy in his place and instructed him to sign everything.
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do about it? Anthony? That's COM's
Speaker 1: like that. That's I mean, I did not see that, Poma.
Speaker 1: That's a. That's a that's pretty good. I like when
Speaker 1: I have a theory that whenever someone tells you they
Speaker 1: had a dream about you, that means they want to
Speaker 1: have sex with you. And they're telling you that, Like,
Speaker 1: if you want to have sex with me, you can
Speaker 1: I had to dream about you. Would you agree with that? Brandon?
Speaker 1: Actually would? Has anyone ever told you that they had
Speaker 1: a dream abouty? Surprising rights my face? No, I mean
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not. I'm saying you're not ugly. It's
Speaker 1: just unremarkable, you know what I mean. It's just like
Speaker 1: not it's not pleasing. It's not unpleasing. I just don't
Speaker 1: leave a lasting impression. Say yeah, like you commit a
Speaker 1: crime and you there would be no witnesses even if
Speaker 1: you did it in the middle of the Pro Bowl,
Speaker 1: if everyone watching, with the world watching, if you see
Speaker 1: an Melissa, you should go see a Brandon and think
Speaker 1: of yourself as one of the faces and no Realisa.
Speaker 1: You'll know what I mean you need to go see
Speaker 1: the naked gun staff and then go see your mamalies.
Speaker 1: I also, this one caught my fancy, not only because
Speaker 1: it was the most recent one, so it just seemed good. Uh,
Speaker 1: we might go to Tokyo this Yeah, this drop season.
Speaker 1: Anthony has really wanted to go to Tokyo, and uh,
Speaker 1: me and my wife are going to be going at
Speaker 1: some point. Uh my wife and our kids will stay
Speaker 1: there for a while, but I'll go for a week
Speaker 1: or so. And uh Anthony wants to come up, come
Speaker 1: along for a few of those days and rock out
Speaker 1: in Tokyo. I love you guys. Have to decide with
Speaker 1: you and your wife, like how the trips work. So
Speaker 1: like Greg wants to like fly either there with me
Speaker 1: or back with me with just the two of us,
Speaker 1: and then one trip he's got to be with his
Speaker 1: wife and kids, which is more fun. Could you imagine
Speaker 1: me and you want to flight to Tokyo. We would
Speaker 1: ball so hard, we would both so hard they would
Speaker 1: divert the flight. It would be a Malaysian flight. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and call it situation. We would take
Speaker 1: that thing down. It would be Uh, it would be
Speaker 1: wonderful and and it would get worse when we get
Speaker 1: there because we would be welcomed off the plane by
Speaker 1: h by Watanabe's sons. My my father in law, Takeshi
Speaker 1: would love shout out to him. He doesn't listen to
Speaker 1: the podcast, but no one balls harder than him. He
Speaker 1: would be greedy es with with some bottles, probably at
Speaker 1: the at the airport, and it would be insanity. I
Speaker 1: would love it. I would love it, and I think
Speaker 1: it would be nice to have your your father in
Speaker 1: law have someone he could like, enjoy too and have
Speaker 1: a good time with. That was Goldie Hawn dancing. It
Speaker 1: was a shout out to laughing Brandon. You ever seen laughing? Nope?
Speaker 1: Did you get the reference when I said Goldie Hawn dancing?
Speaker 1: Do you'd like know? I know who Goldie Hawn is
Speaker 1: is in her her daughter Kate Hudson or you were young.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't dropped off a script. I remember when we
Speaker 1: were working at Hallway Pictures at Goldie Han's house, I
Speaker 1: had a I had a interview to be like an
Speaker 1: assistant at their production company Weird, and they were talking
Speaker 1: up they were talking up Kate Hudson and how great
Speaker 1: she was, and I was just looking at them like, uh,
Speaker 1: I'm not getting this job, and I did not. Thank
Speaker 1: God I did not. I saw them a few weeks.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about our predictions this week. I'm gonna just
Speaker 1: in the difference this week, and we only have one game,
Speaker 1: and people have been asking about this email. I guess
Speaker 1: I have reference in the first episode where an ex
Speaker 1: girlfriend of mine tried to burn down my life. I
Speaker 1: discussed this on the Tonight Show once and and this
Speaker 1: girl and I have since become friends again. I've like
Speaker 1: forgiven her now. I think it's kind of a funny story.
Speaker 1: But I've never actually read the email and its entirety,
Speaker 1: so I know we're going along here. I'm sure there's
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of edits this week that we'll cut,
Speaker 1: some cut some time out. But this is worth uh,
Speaker 1: this is worth saving, This is worth savoring. If the
Speaker 1: podcast lives on in any sort of way, it will
Speaker 1: be because of this email. So we're give me your
Speaker 1: prediction and then I'm going to couch my prediction in
Speaker 1: this email from uh, we might as well pick the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, or should we pick the big game? The
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl? I don't want to pick the Pro Bowl
Speaker 1: because I want to just enjoy it as a fan.
Speaker 1: It's almost like how like Chris Collinsworth won't predict the
Speaker 1: game that he's in. There's too much emotion at stake
Speaker 1: win or Irvan when Irvin and Rice matchup, and I well,
Speaker 1: I speak for both of us. My I said, we've
Speaker 1: got a lot of money on this game. Oh of course,
Speaker 1: our life right. The I mean, when you think Irvin
Speaker 1: and Rice, you think really the Lombardi and the Belichick
Speaker 1: of their errors as coaches, just as masterminds. They get
Speaker 1: that team they and they only have a couple of
Speaker 1: days to get them ready, and yet they come out
Speaker 1: there with some really innovative stuff. The prediction I have
Speaker 1: for the Super Bowl is not gonna be welcomed in
Speaker 1: the Millner household. That's my uncle and uh you know,
Speaker 1: my my cousin Justin Milner, and they're they're big time
Speaker 1: listeners of the show, at least my uncle is. I
Speaker 1: think they're Denver Broncos fans, by the way, and I
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be disappointed. I don't think this is
Speaker 1: gonna be like a couple of years ago, John Elway,
Speaker 1: when he saw that loss, wanted to build a tougher team,
Speaker 1: a bully, a better defense, and he's done it. He's
Speaker 1: basically done it, and so their reward will be they'll
Speaker 1: keep the super Bowl closer. It's gonna be one of
Speaker 1: those super Bowls that's totally unmemorable. We haven't had one
Speaker 1: of those in a while where it's just twenty eight
Speaker 1: to thirteen. It's not it's not exciting, exciting blowout. Panthers
Speaker 1: are totally in control the whole time. They're just simply
Speaker 1: the better team in Peyton Manning goes out on a
Speaker 1: losing nute. That's my prediction. Okay, that's a uh, that's
Speaker 1: a good prediction. Now, let me set up this email.
Speaker 1: I was working on a TV show called The Unit,
Speaker 1: which was a TV show air for a couple of
Speaker 1: seasons on CBS. I was an accounting clerk. That was
Speaker 1: my that was my day job while I got good
Speaker 1: at stand up and I got a development deal with
Speaker 1: MTV to do a TV show where I was a
Speaker 1: comedian who had a day job that he hated and
Speaker 1: was trying to get out of it. So he just
Speaker 1: like hated his boss and we go out at night
Speaker 1: and be good at stand up and that was like,
Speaker 1: that was the premise of the show, and I kind
Speaker 1: of made it just about the people that I worked with,
Speaker 1: thinking no one's ever going to see this. And then
Speaker 1: I broke up with a girl who was kind of
Speaker 1: Internet savvy, and she took the treatment and then made
Speaker 1: up an email address. And the treatment is a treatment
Speaker 1: is like it's like, you know, kind of just talking
Speaker 1: about the characters on the TV show, on what the
Speaker 1: TV show is to people who had never never seen it.
Speaker 1: And I didn't even change names. Uh, And in the
Speaker 1: treatment that I that she got a copy of. So
Speaker 1: she made an email account called the Unit snitch at
Speaker 1: gmail dot com and then emailed my boss. And then
Speaker 1: my boss read this email, brought everyone else from my
Speaker 1: office that was mentioned in it into her office to
Speaker 1: read it, and then brought me into read it. And
Speaker 1: I'll read the email right now. This is one of
Speaker 1: the worst moments of my life. I'm going to go
Speaker 1: into here, uh subject information about Anthony, Jesselyn, Hi, Cindy.
Speaker 1: First and foremost, please forgive us for wishing to remain anonymous.
Speaker 1: We just want to do this quietly without causing major
Speaker 1: office drama. Frankly, we're fed up with Anthony and believe
Speaker 1: the amount of special treatment he receives is extremely unfair.
Speaker 1: Although we like Anthony outside of the office, his work
Speaker 1: ethics are despicable. Below are just a few examples of
Speaker 1: what he really does well he's here. He constantly tells
Speaker 1: us how he hates working under you and Chris, and
Speaker 1: how he plans on letting his workload hile up until January,
Speaker 1: when one day he's going to come into the office
Speaker 1: tell you off and helps you'll fire him on the spot.
Speaker 1: He wants to get fired now, but he can't afford it.
Speaker 1: He plans on living off unemployment, but right now the
Speaker 1: amount of unemployment he'd receive isn't enough, and he'll receive
Speaker 1: more money if he waits until January. Every time I
Speaker 1: was gonna say that, I'll check out. Oh yeah, these
Speaker 1: are not exactly lies, but you don't want to say
Speaker 1: and play company. Every time you too argue, he laughs
Speaker 1: about it to us and tells us how psychotic he
Speaker 1: thinks you are, and how your son should be taken
Speaker 1: away from you, etcetera. He has no respect for you
Speaker 1: or anyone else here. He constantly serves the internet, checks
Speaker 1: and returns personal emails, and downloads music and videos. Every
Speaker 1: time he walk by his computer, he's on the website
Speaker 1: MySpace or ESPN, or reading message boards. He's either late
Speaker 1: or leaves early, saying he has meetings to attend. He
Speaker 1: tells you that because he knows you'll believe it. He
Speaker 1: went out of town three weeks ago, is going out
Speaker 1: of town next weekend, and again at the beginning of
Speaker 1: December for an entire week. Why is he allowed to
Speaker 1: take so much time off? We don't think the extra
Speaker 1: hours he puts in covers it. It's just not fair.
Speaker 1: He uses company time to write jokes for his comedian
Speaker 1: career and works on his MTV show. His MTV show,
Speaker 1: by the way, is based on our office and co workers,
Speaker 1: including you and Chris. He has turned both of you
Speaker 1: into characters. Below is an example of what we found
Speaker 1: in his computer, which he wrote on company time and
Speaker 1: submitted to MTV, and this is now part of the treatment.
Speaker 1: The show is called day Job. This show operates under
Speaker 1: the assumption that the day job is a horrible thing,
Speaker 1: that anyone who enjoys work is a complete moron. That
Speaker 1: may be a harsh assessment, but it is certainly true.
Speaker 1: A day job is not a career. No one, regardless
Speaker 1: of sex, race, age, or orientation, has ever felt anything
Speaker 1: but hatred for a day job. Yet is a necessary?
Speaker 1: Yet is a necessity of survival? Day jobs pay rent,
Speaker 1: credit card debt, student loans, and bar tabs. Secretaries, clerks,
Speaker 1: and assistants moved through the awful purgatory of the day
Speaker 1: job to gain experience so they might one day embark
Speaker 1: on fulfilling careers. Young people slaving at a day job
Speaker 1: are angry young people, and they should be where to
Speaker 1: channel that anger. This show suggests that frustration should be
Speaker 1: taken out on the one day job representative that's not
Speaker 1: in it for the short term, the boss, the day
Speaker 1: been questioned. Here is a small office housing the following
Speaker 1: the boss, the boss's secretary, the first assistant, the office
Speaker 1: supply manager of the receptionist, five computers rose upon rose
Speaker 1: of filing cabinets, and Anthony. Anthony is the office anti hero,
Speaker 1: displaying zero respect for authority, essentially performing no productive tasks
Speaker 1: for the office, yet managing to be popular and respected
Speaker 1: man on the job. Having either quit or been fired
Speaker 1: from every possible job in the area, he cannot lose
Speaker 1: this one. Anthony carries a chip on his shoulder, the
Speaker 1: size of the punk rock movement, and behaves as a
Speaker 1: borderline sociopath. The choices he makes in life are not
Speaker 1: based on right or wrong, rather the level of possible
Speaker 1: embarrassment and effort required. Anthony is also want to be
Speaker 1: stand up comedian, too clever by three quarters, and operating
Speaker 1: under the belief that any day now I'll be plucked
Speaker 1: from day job obscurity and put on Letterman not Lena.
Speaker 1: Considering Anthony lives in Pittsburgh, not Los Angeles and New York,
Speaker 1: this is a pipe dream to all but him. Anthony
Speaker 1: is no respect for anyone he considers an authority figure. However,
Speaker 1: are anti hero more than makes up for it with
Speaker 1: humor and rach arm The boss lady her name is Cindy,
Speaker 1: and she is the worst all caps playing favorites, completely
Speaker 1: irrational and utterly irrelevant. She feels that since she makes
Speaker 1: the most money, she should have to do the least
Speaker 1: amount of work. Cindy, despite making her pay rank known
Speaker 1: to all, is constantly having tax problems and lives on
Speaker 1: the brink of financial ruin. Could owning seven horses be
Speaker 1: the problem? She'll never admit it, but she has to
Speaker 1: leave work constantly to deal with her pet slash friends.
Speaker 1: Cindy likes Anthony, but only because she doesn't know how
Speaker 1: he truly feels about her. The first assistant, Chris, is
Speaker 1: a sycophant completely disrespected by everyone in the office. Overweight
Speaker 1: all Gary talks about his sports, go into ridiculous details
Speaker 1: about statistics and comedy, describing entire episodes of South Park
Speaker 1: while making about rageous lives about his personal life to
Speaker 1: build himself up. To build himself up to an apathetic staff,
Speaker 1: he somehow manages to actually do less work than anyone
Speaker 1: but Cindy, although he supposed to be the workhorse. Chris
Speaker 1: hates Cindy but praises her constantly while barely concealing his
Speaker 1: desire to replace her. Now, this goes back to by
Speaker 1: ex just talking to city. Anthony constantly teases us, and
Speaker 1: while we brush it off as him just being him,
Speaker 1: it hurts our feelings and leaves us unfocused. It is
Speaker 1: to the point where we dread working with him and
Speaker 1: are uncomfortable around him. He's intimidating, rude, and obnoxious. It's
Speaker 1: extremely unpleasant witnessing him receiving so much special treatment and
Speaker 1: getting away with everything is decreasing staff morale. We enjoy
Speaker 1: working here and value our jobs. Anthony does not. Anthony
Speaker 1: makes a mockery out of our office and doesn't want
Speaker 1: to be here. Everyone knows that it's insulting and frustrating
Speaker 1: to see him get away with so much while we
Speaker 1: do lose grunt work. We suggest you beat him at
Speaker 1: his own game and let him go now, sticking it
Speaker 1: to him when he can't afford it, instead of letting
Speaker 1: him win and screwing us all over in January. There
Speaker 1: are plenty of people who would love to have his
Speaker 1: job and who would actually work now. Imagine wait, you're
Speaker 1: actually still back to being semi friends with this girl. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was like so ridiculous, and I didn't speak to
Speaker 1: her for years, and then it was so ridiculous that
Speaker 1: it was like kind of funny. And once my boss
Speaker 1: forgave me, like my boss cried, like the assist guy
Speaker 1: never talked to me again. Did you end up actually
Speaker 1: quitting in January? No, I I worked for a little bit.
Speaker 1: I lost the job when there's a writer strike. That happened,
Speaker 1: so like I just got kind of laid off like
Speaker 1: everybody else did. And they finished out for me. Um.
Speaker 1: But like that night, they all thought it was funny
Speaker 1: because it was obviously my ex who was doing this.
Speaker 1: They're like, no one here would if it almost complaining
Speaker 1: about you, and everything they said was true about me,
Speaker 1: by the way, but everyone knew what and thought it
Speaker 1: was kind of funny. Um, and so like that that's
Speaker 1: your interpretation of it. One of the guys didn't talk
Speaker 1: to you. Yeah, well I no. I mean at the
Speaker 1: time though they thought it was funny. They were like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is crazy that your ex would do this. My
