Ep. 14: Pro Bowl Mania and The Famous E-mail

What a time to be alive. R j VP barely made it another week, barely The NFL listened to last week's show, and we're managing to do another. Felt like that one was the quote I heard was that went right up to the line, which I was surprised by. I thought we crossed the line several times, um, and I thought I would get a reaction, uh, And I was surprised by the reaction that I got. Surprised and a little infuriated. I don't know if we're even allowed

to talk about it. I don't want to get you in trouble, but I thought that someone would talk to me after that one. Instead, they talk to you Now, I think, yeah, that's probably the game plan is just it's just hope this goes away without anyone getting fired in the meantime, and then maybe come back next year. There's no chance of money. There is no chance. What if they sell it, let's say, and you get paid. Why if they sold it already, and what are they gonna pay? What is it going to be that I

couldn't make? That I couldn't make on the sidewalk right now? If I walked out there and told it, told two jokes, you ever try that. I'm a professional, never had to greg. That's how I feel, uh doing this, Uh doing this show here. I came in today, Uh drove myself in again and wasn't on the list. Uh to get in here, had to had come down and get me, which is uh, you know show with the level of respect that I'm getting, I't wanna get into too much that that was the

problem last week. If you heard the episode last week, I I I spit some fire about the way I've been treated and respected on this or lack of respect that I've gotten here at the NFL network, and they were upset about it, and and you know I would say that you were threatened over it, which I which of course upsets me to no end. But if you listen to the podcast last week, you heard things that I said the NFL got upset about. So this week I gotta kind of button it up. We're not gonna

be able to say things like this. I'll say this, the NFL network does not know how to appreciate talent, and that that has come through more and more clearly. And there was a I would say that, like a line was drawn and uh, and it was not. It was not crossed. You know. I think if people don't if people aren't as talented design, they don't know how you're supposed to be treated. But you need to feel

like you're appreciated, and you cannot be. What I'll go ahead and say is being screwed with and and you've you've kind of you're not. You're a little bit to blame. But I give you. I forgive you immediately because you're my best friend, but the rest of the network best friend. That's why I'm here, That's the only reason that I'm here is because we're best friends and I wanted to work with you. But I can only abide so much disrespect from the league, and it has been coming in

waves and droves, and I I'm out once. Once you flip a switch mentally, you're you're done. That was a long clip. Yeah, that was a long clip from last week. It's just an example of what we can't do this week. Per the NFL, what they frowned upon. You know, they just didn't like that. They didn't like Uh, let's say they didn't like this. Everyone else at the NFL network is a coward and won't come anywhere near me and I and rightly so. I understand I'm a little intimidating,

but I haven't spoken to anyone else. You're the only one I talked to. Yeah. That Uh that again, that was from last week. I wouldn't say something like that this week. Just to protect Greg's job. I just I won't go there. I won't total control of this show. Yeah, you never had control. I mean, if you had control the last week, I wouldn't have been able to say

that us. And don't be sad, you know, just be happy that I ever did this, that I ever did any of you the favorite of coming here to this what I'm gonna go ahead and call in quotes a network that does not know how to handle talent and and do this podcast with my best friend Nick. Right, Yeah,

those are those are just things. If you were if you were trying, if you were tuning in this week to hear things like that you're not going to or if you're tuning in for the first time ever and you have no idea what we're talking about, go back and listen to the last episode. Yes, really, because you know we're a pair of friends. We're gonna talk about football eventually. It's best friends. We're gonna talk about football

eventually on this show. Some headlines and whatnot. But we wanted to get this house keeping out of the way since these are the last, you know, a couple of episodes and whatnot. It's the final countdown. This this could be it. I almost didn't come today once once I heard the shenanigans that have been going on here. Your emails to me have been more terse, you know, just just clearly ready to ready. But you're a pro. You're not going to pack it in uh us to bring

in the funny. You're gonna still You're gonna come. Our friendship is my only concern. It's the only reason that I and I think you know the fans a little bit. I want to I want to go out on like a solid note. You know, I mean either kind of want to get fired or get you fired. Uh those are my two options here. But yeah, we will get the football quickly. Just to talk about what did you do this week? Anything? Uh? Anything not having to do with this podcast. Um no that My whole life pretty

much just exists in relation to you. What. I just kind of unplug when I'm not around you. Who do you Who do you love more? Me? Or your wife? I love my wife more. You had to think about it. He had to think about it. You know. We had a nice weekend. It was a nice, normal weekend. There's no football, you know, Saturdays we went to the movies. Uh did you scald herself again? That's not nice. I I mean I was I was describing something, an incident, and I'll let you know about it later. We you know,

we traditionally do this later in the show. But you know, I moved Walker into Ellis's room last weekend, So that was big for your god kids there. Those are my two kids there now sharing room. So those are some big things happen. Nice. How was how was Elise taking that? She? Is she liking it? Or is she kind of upset that her Terra task she likes. Does he go into Walker going the TP that I got Elise? Uh no,

not yet. I got his. I got his grig's children a TP to put in a bedroom, which I thought if I was a kid, I would want a t P. And I was right. She loves it. She loves me. She loves me more than you or your wife. She can now recognize you in a picture, So that's a that's a good step. That's good. I've given her so many pictures of myself that it's about time. How about you anything the last week, I've been doing a lot of shows, a lot of stand up, building up new material.

Uh so if this, if this podcast falls through, I have something to fall back on. UM. I went to a friend of mine and I am my writing partner. I'm working on a TV show idea with it with a friend of mine, and we were like, let's go out and do something. Let's like have fun, We'll go to dinner, enstop just watching a movie. Let's go do something. And he was like, do you want to go see tollub Quality downtown l A. And I was like, yes, I love tollub Qually like they'll be awesome. And we

go to dinner the really nice restaurant Broken Spanish. If you've never been, it's a great Mexican food place. And then we get to this concert. It says doors at eight, show starts at nine, and I'm like, Club Quali is a pro. He's an older hip hop guy. It's gonna be like, he's gonna come on by nine thirty. Show is gonna be over by by eleven. I was very excited.

I got there at nine thirty. There were two two and a half solid hours of opening acts, each of them terrible, each of them worse than the one before it. They would all come out and they would be like, all right, are you guys excited? No one was excited to see any of them, No one knew any of them were. And then they would get like bummed out. They'd be like, oh, you're just here to see club quickly like of course we are, and by like eleven, I look over. My friend is asleep next to me.

He's sleeping sitting down. We're sitting down. Yeah, we're in the back. It was kind of like a raised seating thing. I was gonna get with the kids in the front and I said, you know, let's leave. I was like, it'll be more fun if we just leave before tellub qually gets on stage, then it will be if we sit and watch the whole things were so annoyed and we walked out. He was maybe minutes away from coming on stages. DJ was up there. The lights had gone down,

and we're like, screw it. Hard out of eleven thirty and walking out of that building was the best thing I've ever done, Better than any concept I've ever been to, Better than mac Miller show we just a little while back. Mac Miller was great because mac Miller was professional. There was a real venue that wasn't just trying to sell drinks for for two and a half hours, three and a half hours they mac Miller came on, killed it

and left. That was great. That was a great show, even though you tried to ruin it by leaving the T shirt that I got your daughter in a bar, scumbag. That was That was sad. Although I bought the shirt online app you bought it. You bought a shirt, not the it was. It was crag. This is I mean, I hate you just as much as I hate the league. Let's go what was cut, but the world water I brought it from bluttle three hundred six mouths das most das in the jungle with the leaders, we cheeta. That

was kill up coolly. I assume, well that was tillpqally and Most Deaf Black Star. You know their album together, the first one, which was great, So that was technically most Deaf. But I figured he didn't hear tillib qually in concert, So why did you trick me? Wh you say we're gonna play some slib quily Black Star is basically the same thing. Yeah, but why not play a verse from silib qually because most def is better? You know.

That's another controversial statement. This is why the NFL has madded us Greg, because you say things like that without thinking, without thinking about feelings. Let's do what was cut last week? I said, I don't. I assume this was cut because of the way that I said it, the rage that I said it with. I said, edited because we bawled too hard, which doesn't sound which doesn't sound like that big a deal. I guess I was referencing doing a podcast with um, your old Drew on the NBA network.

Um And when I say it like this. When I say it in this order, it sounds kind of benign, but I guess I was. I was full of rape. Tone was bad. It was very reminiscent of Bill Simmons in his famous rant against Roderigodell, which shout out to Bill Simmons, will see you and have him Bill, which helped expedite his Uh. I think he got suspended for that. He said testicular fortitude. Right, That was at the end, But but there was one where he basically just challenged

our fearless leader. And all of this is getting edited again. Really no, because that was what I did was fine. I just repeated it. It sounded it was benign. Oh guys, if you got to edit it for your job, that's okay. But I think this was fine. Um, some regular swear words. I'm gonna go ahead and say them because it's fun to do. I for a little while, I was saying instead of but you want that, you want that, you know you want those hard constants. At the end, they

just saying it was kind of weak. Um. And then we cut an entire segment we did to ask Anthony's last week. One of them was about last comics standing and I kind of. If you followed me on Twitter during the whole Last Comic Standing thing, you know I was not happy with the edit and I kind of raged against them, and I compared them to the network you're currently This is a trend that you wind up being upset with and getting in a fight with your employer. No,

we edited the last time of Standing it is. It is a trend that I have. I bite the hand that feeds me many times. But I think that just means that some people don't know how to produce me, because I've had bosses that I've loved. Shout out to Mike Shoemaker. Now the showrunner at Late Night was Seth Myers. When I worked on Jimmy Fallon, I told him every chance I got. He's the only authority figure that I haven't wanted to murder. But some people, some networks, I

just don't know how to deal with me. And that's part of the challenge of dealing with the talent such as myself, or they do things like editing your email. Yes, but do not call yourself an authority figure over me. You are my best friend and that's all friend. Emma, my wife, when she heard that, she thought that was the funniest part. She loved the whole last podcast, but she thought that was the funniest part of the whole podcast was hearing that story and thought that story really

typified that was our friendship in a nutshell. Absolutely. I think it was trying to edit, yeah, and and telling me afterwards kind of sheep it. She's like, oh, yeah, I edited. Maybe if this could be my last trying yourself and this is very this is very likely my last podcast. There's a chance I do one or two more going through the end of the super Bowl. I don't know. I would like to not I would have liked to have not come in this week, but I

did push because of my best friend Greg. Last thing that was cut from last week, Um, this has been cut several weeks in a row. Talking about John Clayton and his relationship edited four touchdown. Maybe that gets through Brandam, what do you think? Doubtful? You guys are getting worse and worse as we go on. I can't believe the things you leave in versus what you take out. Um, whatever, maybe that's the last what was cut. That's fine. Let's

get the headlines. Let's trauma fellas one night on the cop top like at the special Trauma Jam Trop make the Gal. That was Till Coolly for sure. I remember that song in college. That was one of the first Club Quilli songs that Greg introduced me to. Greg was a big fan back in the day. Was that was moving something? Yeah? That was that was great. That was early tlib qually. Check them out if you have the time. So we gotta start with the big news in the

NFL this week, the big game coming up. Everyone is talking to get your party, get your get your chips, get your sandwiches, get the platter. It's almost time and the preparation has begun for the two thousand and sixteen Pro Bowl. Oh man, I am excited about this this year, Team Irvin facing off against Team Rice just one of the most storied rivalries in the NFL. People, you know, as we taped this on Wednesday, getting ready for the Pro Bowl Draft, a lot of Pro Bowl mock drafts

around just just wild. I'm like a Jewish kid on Christmas. I'm so excited. I can't even believe I'll got. The Pro Bowl is such a big event to me. Like when people talk about the NFL and they see the NFL is like the biggest, the biggest league in the country. When they say football is the biggest sport in the country, they're really talking about the Pro Bowl. It wasn't for the Pro Bowl, then I think this lead would fold inside inside a month. Everyone just waits all year long.

Who's gonna be in it, what's gonna who's gonna win, who's gonna get picked, who's gonna start. People love the Pro Bowl, the players love the Pro Bowl. It is It is the creme de la creme. The state of Hawaii is just on fire this week. But let's let's move on and at least for now, we'll try to distract yourself. We'll talk a little bit about can what I mean, what else is there? What else happened you know, over the last week, and uh, let's start in Denver,

where what happened must have pleased Anthony. We haven't talked about this at all. I don't know if you watch the game live or what happened. But but of course the Denver Broncos Peyton, manning their great defense, UH took care of the New England Patriots, and they did it in a particularly vicious fashion. Hitting Tom Brady twenty times in the game, crushed him, knocking him over. I mean, just domination up for on. It was amazing they were

still in this game. If anything, it was a memorable performance by Brady and Gronkowski to even get them in that position. But ultimately you gotta give the Broncos credit, and their pass rushers went to extraordinary length to humiliate Brady, one of them telling Robert Clemco of the mm QB that he tried to rub his dong on Tom Brady after the play. He tried to get on top of him and just rub him with the old dog. Yeah.

I support this move. I love that. It's like I love that he's an unnamed source, like he was like, Hey, I'm gonna tell you this printed, but don't use my name. But I support this move because Tom Brady is the Blarney Stone of dogs. Rub your dog on Tom Brady and you have good luck for the rest of your life. Now did he actually rub his dog on Tom Brady or did he just try and fail? I guess we'll find out in the Super Bowl if Denver wins. It's obvious Tom Brady got a dong rubbed on him by

one of the Denver Broncos. Who do you think it was? I've a guess I know who it was. It was. It was von Miller. Of course it's von Miller. What other player sack celebration is pelvic thrust? He's obsessed with with dog, putting his dog out there. I mean, I love von Miller, but everyone does. Von Miller's entire family rubbed their dog on Tom Brady during that game. Tom Brady loves von Miller, it does now. Yeah, that was

Kesha edited for Crack his whack. Brandon producer was dancing during that, uh entire segment and then the second you made your joke, he just stopped. Yeah. I immediately went to my pen to the paper. Why come on that cold? That can say? Brand that was been in a great mood, by the way, all week because he got another broadcasting job. This is not a joke. He will now be the announcer of what is it again? It's now girls, It's gonna be a spring sport track and field, women's track

and field or something. But you got a new gig. Yeah, basically baseball and softball for season. That's awesome. Were we doing before? Fuller men's and women's basketball Okay, so different schools, different sports. That's great, man, you're really spreading out by this. I'm waiting for the joke. No, the joke is the job. You got that good. Uh, let's stay in Denver and talk about that game. And Tom Brady took a lot of criticism before the game from the Broncos, who really

went on him in the press. Certainly after the game, a lot of people enjoyed, uh this Patriots loss. I wrote an article about you know, picking You know, people just enjoy Patriot and Freud kind of Belichick Brady. They love seeing him lose. You do too. And the wife of Eric Decker, Jesse James, who's also a country star, I believe, has a theory of why Tom Brady gets

picked up it as much. And and she says it's because he's so good looking that if he wasn't that good looking, people would not pick on him this much. They're they're jealous, and they just want to go after a guy that seemingly has it all because he's so hot. That is crazy. Here, here's here's why that theory is is terrible. I'm gonna debunk this right now. Because Peyton Manning is a million times hotter than Tom Brady. There's

a million times sexier than Tom Brady. It's like Peyton Manning is I mean like a male model, like he is like on the runway. He is in every commercial for a reason because he is gorgeous. Tom Brady, he's not a bad looking guy, but he's no Peyton Manning. He's no Peyton Manning. Can you identify with with this? Getting picked on more? Because because you're a good looking guy, I mean more than you probably, I would think I

don't really get picked on that much people. People are afraid of me, Like people can't even talk to me when I come into work. That's what. I don't get picked on at all. Who's here looking Eli or Payton? Oh, I mean that's tough. That's tough because that that third brother is no joke either, the third Manning brother. I would say, I would say, Peyton Payton has got this classic I'm gonna say, like a Greek Adonis kind of

good looks. You know what I mean that you would like if you could, if you could sculpt your baby's face to look like Peyton Manning. You tell me you wouldn't do it. Right now, if you could just like mold it with your hands. You wouldn't try to make them look exactly like Peyton Manning. I'm just kind of freaked out by that good looking baby. I'm telling you I'm not alone here. Everyone thinks that that Peyton Manning is better looking than Tom Brady. That's all. That's all

the bomb, that all many a blasphem the past. That was a Greg Rosenthal's corn cover band. Uh. They were called on the cob and they were they were something. They were really something back in the day. Greg got so much because of his corn cover band on the cop I'm I'm missing You're a juke this week with these with these bands in between, I miss him. The Broncos fans enjoyed this victory. As I said before, during

and after. Viral video this week came out where a Broncos fan had tipped a porta potty over during before the game with the Patriots fan inside, and the video is essentially just a gleeful Broncos fans laughing at the fact that some Patriots fan had to crawl out of this tipped over porta pott Yeah. I support this, of course. I hate the Patriots more than I hate Let's say this network, Um, I I love when people tip over Porter John's because it's always the guy's fault who got

tipped over. Do you know what I mean? You would think it's a cruel thing. If you go to a if you go to like an away game in the Jersey, you do not use the porta potty, and if you do, you can get your friends to have your back. I go, is this anyone who's ever seen the video of a porta potty getting tipped over? It's not the first time, this is not It might be Manning's last rodeo, but it's not. It's not this fan's last rodeo. They've seen

it before. It's happened before. You don't do it. It's like if you get the guys at concerts, this happens to me. They get in a fight and then I allright, break it up. All right, See, I'm done with this. Screw you guys. I'm gonna go use the porta potty and it get tipped over immediately. You gotta know better. You gotta know better. The tail as old as time. I mean, but they had the concert fight followed by

the tipped over porter potty. Whoever always tempted. Whoever invented the porta potty had this in mind, he knew it was gonna happen. I mean, I think it's like the It's It's it's first call, It's the first thing you look for. With two esprescial shots. They don't tell her how many newspapers I read by several papers and I'll read them all twice. So that was your old Drew bringing it back, bringing back your old Drew guy. He was very happy with us last week for playing his

his his new hits. Um. We definitely talked him up last week. Girl Drew is great. Uh is a big fan of my comedy, a bigger fan than I would say the network is um. He he loves it. He thinks I'm funnier than George Carlin and he's right. What's next, Greg Praise? Do you do you think that I'm the best of all time? That's with that one of those articles we talked about way back in episode one or two.

Do you remember the title of it said Anthony jessly links the greatest stand up of all time or something. Anthony jesly Look is the greatest comedian who has ever lived. I still have it on my phone, I can show you. Did you is it framed? It in your bathroom? Nope, that's my New York Times Review hot take of the Week. We usually do this at the end of the show, but it just fits with what we're talking about, right, No rules, no rules. We have the Pro Bowl coming up.

We're not gonna worry about where things go. We're just psyched. We're just psyched about the All Star Game, the All Star Game of all Star games. Oh yeah, Well, it's the whole thing is it's a little distracting knowing that just what four days from when we're taping this, Team Rice and all the history that comes with Team Rice is gonna line up on the field and you start to think back about all the great moments in Team Rice history. And then they line up against those famous

purple uniforms of Team Irvin. You get, you got Michael Irvin, and you get you got a hula dancer on one side, another hula dance on the other side. I'm in, you're gonna put a flower necklace on him? Oh my god, what time is the game? No one knows, and that's a crime. But we have to, you know, soldier on and talk about some of the lesser stories like this hot take of the week, and I'm gonna give it to the Denver Police Department. They were the hot takers

of the week. Uh put put out a tweet during the middle of last week's game the n f C Championship with an emoji and then missing Persons unit headed to Sports Authority Field that's where they play to try and locate the Patriots offense. Go Broncos. Do you see what they did there? I see what they were saying they was missing. Yeah, that's terrible. Okay, you're the police department, all right. First of all, don't jinx your team. It was it's in the middle of the game. That is insane.

It was in the middle of the game, and someone quickly did a you know, Twitter put a tweet up that said the Broncos at that point had forty less yards than the Pages. Hey, buddy, your offense is led by Peyton Manning, who couldn't do anything. There was fifteen drives in that game. If you didn't have the best defense of all time, or at least in this game they were, they wouldn't have won. You know, it's insane. And also you're you were the cops. That Twitter account

is for amber alerts and active shooters. What are you doing making jokes during a game? If anything bad had happened in Denver, if it had been like a radical Islam situation, everyone will be fired. Everyone with a trader account will get fired. You're saying after that tweet. If they during if it was like, oh, while they're getting cute, it's going down own. It's like it's like the it's like the middle scene from Heat out there and this guy's on Twitter messing around brand you ever see the

movie Heat? Nope? God, you also didn't see uh the movie? Where are the intro to the show? It was a quote from Maybe we don't have to say it. If you know the movie, you can tweet at tweets at it. I don't know that's that's so long. The most annoying part. If you didn't know that it was from Blade Running, you turned off the podcast when I said that. The most annoying part to me actually any anything to do

with the safety of Denver. It's the headline in this Washington Post article, which is such a typical headline for these articles. This is this is the headline. Denver police Department absolutely destroys patriots with masterfull troll job. Oh yeah, what a masterful troll job from the high jinks from the comedic geniuses at the police department. There they are like the new National lampoons, the masterful control job. Whoever wrote that headline doesn't know what any of those words mean. You.

Your job is to protect and to serve police. Leave the jokes to damn a scheck. What's next? The Act and Trust? But I'm not fix? Tell me lord, why did you make so many snakes? It is it cool for me to punish some of them stakes? Anno? I ain't perfect streaming, far from it. I'll get away slick and only doing What was that? Snakes? Baby snakes? Is that the name of the rapper? Is he just a guy who just wraps about snakes NonStop? Just up said about why God made snakes. That's a crazy thing to

wrap about. This is again we have to play some some of the music officially approved by the NFL. That's in house music. It's not commercial or that's one of them brand that was played again the Act Trust But I'm not fix. Tell me lord, why did you make so many snakes to punish some of the stakes streaming far from it. Is it cool for me to punish the snakes when they make mistakes? What? What mistakes did you snake make? How many snakes do this guy have?

That's the worst rap songs since it's at the mall. But honestly, that guy, that guy opened for club quality. He was one of the openers at this concert, like they were all oh so bad? Was that like an edge? For a second, I was thinking, maybe it's like a kid show. It's like an anti snake song, like stay away from the Snakes kids. We're trying to teach the kids about snakes. But in like a cool, hip hop, young type of way. It sound like a guy who was doing a karaoke to a hip hop song and

like lost his place and just improvised. The Carolina Panthers won the NFC Championship and it was not close. I was wrong about the Arizona Cardinals. The Panthers way unrolled, and a lot of people still not happy about it. Seahawks fans who lost a couple of weeks continue to complain week after week. We're just keep hearing more whining by the Seahawks fan. This week, a Seahawks fans started a petition on change dot org to ban Cam Newton

from the stadium century Link Field. I don't think he wants him back in the city of Seattle at all. They want him to stay away, Anthony. This is this is so so awful that I kind of love it. Like Seahawks fans are becoming the new Patriots fans, Like they just they expect to win, and when they don't, they act like little children. And let me start with this. Petitions mean nothing. Stop them. Everyone's all. We have a petition to ban Justin Bieber, a petition to deport so

and so. No one cares. Obama is not reading through your signatures making sure everyone's legit. No one cares. And this petition is even worse than anything else. It's online petition. Um Ever since Snakes on a plane bombed to the box office, no one cares what you organize on Facebook. Here's the letter the guy wrote. That's a fact band Cam Newton from century Link Field. He's one of the most unsportsman like quarterbacks in the NFL and deserves to

be banned from Century Link Field. He dislikes Washington as a whole anyways, So why not move to make this possible. That's it, That's all he wrote. Ah oh there was the top part. Oh, I thought that was just the article give me, Give me more music. Cam Newton is one of the most unprofessional, unsportsmen like individual on the face of the plan. So I say, for the two thou sixteen seventeen, when the Panthers come to play in Seattle, he should be banned from entering the stadium. They should

teach him to put his arrogance in check. Two exclamation points I don't even like one. Definitely not too. Are you, sir, are racist? I'll say it again. Anyone who doesn't like Cam Newton, anyone who doesn't love Cam Newton, is racist. Racist, racist. Racist. My mom tried to say, no, I think it's that you want quarterbacks to act like quarterbacks. My mom's racist.

I'm calling it out right now. You you got some notice for your truth to power speech last week about cam Newton when we were picking on the Seahawks, right, oh yeah, yeah, and Reddy did you watch that? You? I did not like. I like the people put together things. They produced things for me. They took my rant about how Austin cam Newton is reading reading the letter that that they wrote about tearing down the twelfth Man flag and throwing it, saying that in Seattle, uh, their quarterback

goes and visit sick kids in the hospital. And so they played my clip of me like making fun of this, and then they showed a bunch of pictures of Cam Newton with the sick kids in the hospital. Of course Cam does that. Cam is the best. Cam is the best. And if you don't like it, if you don't like it, you're amastad. Do you hear me? You are? You're Magneto in Twelve Years of Slave? Is what you are. If you don't like Cam Newton, who's the actor what's his name?

I don't think Magneto? The characters in that movie and the actor who played Magneto, what's his name? Brandon? You saw it? Remember Michael Fastbender? You're Michael Fastbender and Twelve Years of Slave. If you don't like Cam Newton, you are you are the prosecutors who prosecuted O. J. Simpson. If you don't love Cam Newton, you are Mark Ruffalo and you can count on me. I've never seen that movie. I bet he would just don't understand. I know who's

racist in real life? Anyone who's like really racist, like the white guys in the Heat of the Night, Gene Hackman and Burning Mississippi. That's what you are. If you don't like Cam Newton, I've never really seen the movie. He might be a good entire movie Hoosiers. Maybe that would fit in your way off. I mean, I don't understand why you're not clear on this. Yeah, I mean no, Greg's I mean it's it's over four, Like he's so far off. He's like playing different games. He I don't

even count those two. He's just oh win, oh um, you are. I can't think of any other racist people. What's in the movie about slavery. They've got some, They've always have some. Ah, you're any white person in Roots the series if you If you don't love Cam Newton, I love Cam Newton. He's my favorite. Stop have you went to hospital leading You'll see see that was your old Drew again. I think the NFL is gonna be psyched when they hear this one this week. They thank

you guys, this is a palate cleanser. I agree, they're gonna love it. I love a football, our love of all things Pro Bowl again Sunday at a time to be determined in Hawaii, because it doesn't even matter what time it is, because it's always Pro Bowl time. I'll make it. I'll make it a I'll I'll admit something

right now. Since they changed to this new Pro Bowl format, I have not watched the Super Bowl because every year I get ready, I have a party, I get ready to watch the Super Bowl, and then I remember that I've got the Pro Bowl on my ti vo, right, And why watched Super Bowl when you can watch the Pro Bowl? Why watch regular old rosters when you can watch a super roster of Pro Bowlers. That's what I'm all about. You. You're a huge fan of that Kyle Rudolph performance when he won the m v P of

the Pro Bowl. Boom. I got the Kyle Rudolph Pro Bowl jersey, like everybody does. A lot of airbud action coming at us this week on Twitter, and we we always appreciate that. The downside for the Carolina Panthers for missing um, I mean, for making the Super Bowl, rather is there gonna have to miss the Pro Bowl? I mean, Cam Newton is definitely It's the first time I've seen him not smile when they told him after the game that he wasn't allowed to go, he was Devastatd's one

of the reasons you hate the Patriots so much. All seven Patriots that made the Pro Bowl decided not to go, even Malcolm Butler, who was making his first Pro Bowl. I understand you don't want to tarnish it with their bs, with their with their with their Tom Brady tainted crowd. Please, Luke Kickley and the Panthers are going to the Pro Bowl, I mean the Super Bowl rather, But Luke Kickley got the big pick six last week, got the touchdown late in the game, kind of cemented uh that win was

a very exciting moment. And when he did, the cameras for Fox could not help but catch a fan get a little too ex sighted Anthony and flipped forward over the railing onto the field shout out to Josh Hamilton's I don't even remember the last time I had a wallet lead in my back pockets. Rough filmed out of movie and applications, but I had little on my time

doing go to Smooth. That's a rapper hired by the NFIL to talk about his job interview which I'm assuming he did not get because of the lint on his tie. That guy didn't even mention snakes once? And how were you not ready with that song? I I set it up so well. I had my hand up forever you did. But I thought we were going to the next one because they're the same topic kind of, you know, same team. Why would I have my hand up for a whole

another topic. Don't edit this either. Don't worry. The tension is thick in the studio. He's the only one of the enough network that I like. Wow, Cam Newton the only one that I've ever talked to that that's true too. Cam Newton and the Panthers, Uh, they've been really embraced by the hip hop community. I don't know if you knew this. There's a picture in the locker room with Cam Newton and DMX and Mike Epps too, and also before the game, I believe Jeezy was their future was there.

They're all on the sidelines just kind of. It's a team that, uh that the Panthers embraced hip hop, and hip hop has embraced them right back. That's so that's great to hear. Um. If you were if you're gonna have like roppers, in your corner, like rappers have my back, But if I probably don't have your back, like who who would be legitimately do have rappers in your corner? Um? I would want C Murder. Do you remember C Murder? He was a masterpiece brother who called himself C Murder

and then he murdered someone. So if you're gonna call yourself C Murder and then you murder someone, I feel like that's a good guy to have on your side. Like he just does not give a you know what I'm saying. Do you think that? Do you think that he was related to a murder and be murder? Because D Murder was dope? I would go mob Deep was the other one that came to mind. I don't know why, but being you know, living in New York, they just seemed to represent that sort of They just seemed a

little scary to me. If I could have mob Deep represent me, I would go mob Deep. Yeah, that would Those are all good, good choices by you. Um, I've got a couple of represents. Definitely have my back. Year old Drew certainly has my back. We've talked about him many times. A guy named open Mike Eagle, who was a great rapper once sampled me in one of the songs, which I really liked. Yeah, but he kind of sped it up, so you can't if you know the line I used, like you get it that it's me, but

I wouldn't have understood it. I'm waiting for someone to name dropped me in a song. That's what I'm excited about. My friend Jay Farrow said someone, uh, someone dropped him in a song. Um, Apathy actually dropped him in a song. You need to come up with a good nick nickname, I mean rhyme for Jessel Nick. I told you not to use the N word on this show. That's gonna have to Brandon. You have to edit that. Um here's the rappers that I would have my back, in addition

to the ones who already have back. Uh Black Rob, Yeah for sure, like Shine Shine Back and and Mace. Oh. I want someone. I want someone to have the power of the Lord on my back. Wait for you to get it. That was DMX shout out to d What do you think? What do you think we listened to more in college? That song? We listen to that a lot, or like well, Black Rob, because I loved that you played like more than any song since I've met you. What about things you can Do Buy? Yeah, that was

up there. That was up there. But I think since we've since I've known you and I guess you know we were roommates in various houses for three years that they're in a couple of years out here. Uh in those five years, yeah, Black Rob, you played NonStop for six months straight and would not stop. Like I it was a hard song to get too sick of. But whether it was in the car, there was at home, like, it didn't matter. You would just put it on. In the second it did, you just like lit up like

a Christmas tree and started dancing around. You know, it was great. It's a great song. I stand by it to this day. You know what they're gonna They're gonna play that at the Pro Bowl for whoever wins. The winners get to go in the locker room and hear that song. It is going to be. I think they actually got him. Black Rob is doing the national anthem? Is he for the game year? I think he's still in jail edited for a Loha. It's the Pro Bowl. First off, Brandon, when I go to the bathroom, I

tell you turn my mic off. I don't want your recording, and secondly, I wanted you to play that in the beginning. What do you have to say for yourself? I'm sorry. I'll accept it. At least someone around here tells me that they're sorry. I thought that as like a recording of of the Marcus Thanksgiving dinner, just like that was the conversation going on that he's looking at me, Who's Thanksgiving dinner? Marcus family? Okay? And I know his last name was Marcus Um. You know what the title of

that song is, by the way, Drunken Carnival. It's you know what I was gonna say. It sounds like when Frank Drebin goes into the bathroom and in the Naked Gun, he doesn't know his mike is on, and he goes in the bathroom starts singing in there. That's what it sounded like. Have you seen that movie? Nope? Have you ever seen a movie? I mean, we raised amish. I don't understand how you've missed Blade Runner, Naked Gun. What years did they all come out? Yeah, this is aging

you a little bit, Anthony. Naked Gun is a classic. You've seen Airplane right, may have a long time ago. Okay, okay, let's move on edited for Greg is fighting for his job, girl Drew. That was Basketball and Seinfeld one of his newer songs. Not forty Deuce, which I hope we have coming up soon. Uh, but but Basketball and Seinfeld, which you released a few a few months ago. Great song with the with the Seinfeld theme in it, which is cool.

People just like it. People like that. What's our last headline? Greg? Chris Christie is in the news this week. He's a noted Cowboys fan. As if the Cowboys couldn't get anymore unlikable that that image of Chris Christie and Stephen Jones and Jerry Jones hugging at the end of the Cowboys Lions the Cowboys victory over the Lions in the playoffs, uh, is one of the funnier and yet um distasteful, I

would say images of the last five years. Chris Christie is a little worried that Johnny Manziel could be coming to the Dallas Cowboys. He says he will throw his body in front of the Johnny man Zel train if it heads towards Dallas. I mean, if anyone's body could derail a train, it would be Chris Christie. I think that the people of New Jersey should rise up and throw Chris Christie in front of a train. Forget politics.

If the governor of Pennsylvania, who I cannot name, nor would I know the name if I heard it, had an opinion on any team outside of Philly in Pittsburgh that wasn't they suck? Let's kill them, there would be a statewide riot. Could you can think of any other like representative of the land. And they've They've got the Giants in Jersey? Is that it is that the only team they have? They got the Jets. Yeah, but the Giants play in Jersey. The Jets play in New York. Please,

I don't. I don't. I care about Pittsburgh and nothing but Pittsburgh. So I don't know these other things. But I've never even heard of the Jets. They have those two football teams. They're close to Philadelphia, so there's a lot of New Jersey. I can see him like any of those teams. That would be totally fine. But you cannot love the Cowboys, one of the most hateable teams beside the Patriots in the world, not just not just

the NFL. I I if a governor of Massachusetts or someone that was running for governor of Massachusetts openly, like the Cowboys or some other team. That would be it. They're done, that will be it. It would be over and now and Christie has done. I'm not gonna vote for him now. I'm not gonna vote from him less unless he comes out on Team Irvin and the Pro Bowl north Side California Tree. That was three kids trying

to ruin a beat and succeeding. You. You reminded me when you were talking about Team Team Iran that the thing that people don't talk about the Pro Bowl enough is the emotions. Um and and a lot of it is, you know, great emotion, but there's a lot of heartache to there's there's a losing team on the Pro Bowl every year, and I just have to think back a couple of years. Um, I think it was two thousand

fourteen Team Sanders lost. And and not not only the team Sanders lose, they haven't even existed since where is Team Sanders? I bought my Team Sanders Jersey. They just left town. Now it's Team Rice and Team Irvan. There was a Team Carter once, only only St. Louis. Can you can understand what you're going through, and I get it. You know, it's it's a great thing to be invited to Pro Bowl, but if you lose, you almost wish that you had never been born. If you lose the

Pro Bowl, let's take it the recommendation station, Greg. I've got just a book this week. I didn't get to see a movie. Okay, it's it's one of those that's the time of year from movies where everything sucks, everything is terrible. Well, I'm still catching up. Sure, I have a lot to catch up on. Still, so I saw three in a row last week. Sona saw the Holocaust movie Hilarious. It was good, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for other people. Was it tough? You tried to

get me to see it with you and I refused to. Here, I can't. I give the Paul Hall quote. White people don't want to pay twenty dollars just in a movie theater for two hours and listen top up there it was. It was tough, um, but it was worth seeing. And The Big, The Big, The Big Short, which I thought they did an awesome job. But I'm gonna recommend an Melisa that Charlie Kaufman movie because it passed my one big test for a movie. It's crazy. My wife hated it,

absolutely hated it. It's creepy. But I have never seen any movie anything like it. And if you can leave the movie theater and say that that you have never seen anything like that and you will remember it for a long time, that that means something. Sure, I would agree with that. Would you say it's the kind of movie that you should see with someone else, Like you need to have someone with you to kind of talk about. It's like a love story where you'll feel you get

the pressed if you go about alone. Because every Friday morning, I've got to get out of my apartment for a couple of hours to leave, let my housekeeper door thing and uh, and I go see a movie at the movie theater down the streets. I might go see Anomalisa. But I can't pull the trigger on Anomalisa. It just seems like like what am I doing? What am I doing here with these problems? I think you want to I think you want to talk to people about it afterwards.

It's it's not really it's not so much about the love story and feeling lonely. It's more strange. Um, I'm gonna recommend a book and a half. Greg, Uh, this is uh this book I read. It's called The City and the City. You heard me, right, The City and the City by China mea mia villa. I'm gonna go ahead and say, that's how you pronounce that, like I like when you look up to Yeah, you've read The City in the City by China. Is a famous artist, I assume a writer. I assume it's a guy. I

don't know why I think that. I think I saw a picture China. Who knows that could be anyone, That could be a guy or a girl. Um. Great book. It's a science fiction, but it's kind of like a like a police detective investigation kind of thing, so it's grounded in reality, but in this weird world where I hated it for the first like fifty pages, and I just kept going and then fell in love with it

by the end. I always loved the phrase that if you read a book, a good book, you do the work for the first hundred pages, and then if the book is good, that the book takes over and it does the work for the rest of it. That I I thought this was a great example of that, and I just started a book. Brandon. You can even turn your mic off at this, you know how even listen because it doesn't apply to you. But Greg, I'm reading your new favorite book. You will love. It is called

A Little Life. I don't know, I know, I don't know who. I can't remember the woman author's name, but I'm a hundred pages deep. It's like a Japanese American. Yes, and it is incredible. It's about like a four friends starting to their friendship together in college and then it goes on through the rest of their life. I'm still like just out of the college phase, but it is an amazing book. If you liked And again, I'm only a hundred pages and I usually don'tcommend books until I'm

finished with them, but I like this so much. I was up all last night. Um really loved it. And if you liked uh, the Goldfinch, it's kind of that sort of writing style that that I think you would really respond to that, Yeah, a Little Life. Look up A Little Life and forget the author's name. It's gonna be I've been made so much if the name is so complicated, Greg wanted to marry her. That was a recommendation station doll mechanism. Let me know the exacts on

the basket. Hey, get your face, that was your old drug forty deuce Again. We'll allow to play as much oldrewp as we want because he supports the show. He's given us permission to go nuts with the Old Drew. Every week we have a segment called Ask Anthony, where a listener asked you something. This week, Vic Vinegar. Vinegar went with the quantity over quality approach, asked about twelve questions, and Vic it worked because one of them is the one that we chose. What has been your favorite aspect?

Anthony of the Rosenthal and jessel Nick Vanity Project. I didn't see that coming. I was a little behind on my r G VP whisper. Sorry, guys, this is an easy one from me. There's only one thing that I even kind of like about this show, and that, of course, is that I get to make fun of Brandon. Whenever I want, I can just look up and just things just popping into my head. You know. I mean, I'm not a normally a mean person. I'm not. I'm not from my sult humor. But when I see Brandon, it

just inspires me. To just crush him. And if you if you saw a picture of Brandon, you would know what I'm talking about. You would you would know. And of course no one has ever taken a picture of him. No one would waste the film. Uh film yeah, film yeah? Ok, yeah, you're you're like amused. I think that was your comeback. That's not not the fact that no one would ever take your picture like you're a vampire, Like you're an amish vampire. I'm not saying he's pale. I'm pale. He's

just not He's not even ugly. It's just there's no facial charisma. I'm gonna go ahead and say, would you agree with me? I would disagree? All right. If Brandon can ever afford a therapist, this is gonna come up. I'm your therapist. Also, I like I like, you know, getting to clamped around with my best friend, Greg, friend best friend on the on the show. I like that I give I give Greg something to live for. I'm sure it's not easy to uh be here doing these

things that that. I think. I mean, every we can, I try to quit. You really talk me out of it. You enjoy this? This is you know, one of the best parts of your week, and I think you'd like getting to It's like I'm a I'm a comment rocketing by and you just get to grab onto the tail and just ride it for about an hour every weekend and let go and kind of just use my momentum

to kind of float through space. And I mean, I've got a great life, and you have a wife and kids and and like a real job that anon give me, give me love and contentment, fulfillment these kids. Sure, sure, but you don't get the rock like I do, you know, I mean, you don't have a refrigerator full of nothing but champagne and sparkling water like I do. That. I that I like to kind of just let you kind

of hang in my and my aura. I really wish that people could see the video of Anthony acting out Anthony as a rocket ship flying through the air and me trying to hang on and really get into it. I can do it all. I can do it all three dimensions. On this podcast, our listener of the week is ice Block ice Block Films. That's what he's going by on iTunes and again, you can leave your comments for us and your radi on iTunes and subscribe on the show on iTunes. You can go back listen to

all the other episodes. As long as the Rosenthal and jessel Nick Vanity project, as long as it exists. I mean it'll it'll be there forever. That's a that's the great on before you read this, what are the chances is our last episode? I don't know? You tell me? I mean, I know, I'm saying it's not up to me, like I will. Let's say i'll come back for I'll come because you're off next week. Yeah, but but well I'm in I'm at the super Bowl, so we can't

do the podcast. They offered. They offered to let me Brandon you know this thing. They were like, wouldn't have then to go to the super Bowl, like go do stuff like with Greg for the week if we give him a ticket, not a hotel, not transportation, not two tickets so I could bring a friend one ticket. You are bending the truth theory, that's that's what you told me. And am I wrong? What was the truth? I don't know something now. I want to know the truth. I

think I was. I was saying, like is that a possibility? I don't even know if it would have I don't even know if that would have happened, I couldn't even get you, Uh, couldn't get you anything else. I think the more like the most insulting thing they could do, they would have done. And that sounds like it maybe like half a ticket, maybe a ticket for the last year's game. Um, Anthony, it's gonna it's gonna be tough for Anthony to stay interested in football after the Pro Bowl.

I mean, yeah, so that's a that's a problem. Um, So I hope, I hope it keeps going. But like I said, Ice Block Films left this note best podca you send me to Hawaii? Oh that would then I would do. I'll do. I'll commit to three years right now if they send me to Hawaii for the Pro Bowl. Brandon asked some of the absolutely asked, that would be incredible if that actually had some of the Shadowy League figures are definitely Aska, asks c Sun or whatever the

hell you're coaching now. The best podcast on Earth is what Ice Block Film says. I had a dream and Greg and Anthony were coming to Tokyo to do an appearance, slash signing and sell a bration of this podcast. I went to it and Anthony had sent a ten year old boy in his place and instructed him to sign everything. What are you gonna do about it? Anthony? That's COM's like that. That's I mean, I did not see that, Poma.

That's a. That's a that's pretty good. I like when I have a theory that whenever someone tells you they had a dream about you, that means they want to have sex with you. And they're telling you that, Like, if you want to have sex with me, you can I had to dream about you. Would you agree with that? Brandon? Actually would? Has anyone ever told you that they had a dream abouty? Surprising rights my face? No, I mean it's not. It's not. I'm saying you're not ugly. It's

just unremarkable, you know what I mean. It's just like not it's not pleasing. It's not unpleasing. I just don't leave a lasting impression. Say yeah, like you commit a crime and you there would be no witnesses even if you did it in the middle of the Pro Bowl, if everyone watching, with the world watching, if you see an Melissa, you should go see a Brandon and think of yourself as one of the faces and no Realisa.

You'll know what I mean you need to go see the naked gun staff and then go see your mamalies. I also, this one caught my fancy, not only because it was the most recent one, so it just seemed good. Uh, we might go to Tokyo this Yeah, this drop season. Anthony has really wanted to go to Tokyo, and uh, me and my wife are going to be going at some point. Uh my wife and our kids will stay there for a while, but I'll go for a week

or so. And uh Anthony wants to come up, come along for a few of those days and rock out in Tokyo. I love you guys. Have to decide with you and your wife, like how the trips work. So like Greg wants to like fly either there with me or back with me with just the two of us, and then one trip he's got to be with his wife and kids, which is more fun. Could you imagine me and you want to flight to Tokyo. We would ball so hard, we would both so hard they would

divert the flight. It would be a Malaysian flight. I'm gonna go ahead and call it situation. We would take that thing down. It would be Uh, it would be wonderful and and it would get worse when we get there because we would be welcomed off the plane by h by Watanabe's sons. My my father in law, Takeshi would love shout out to him. He doesn't listen to the podcast, but no one balls harder than him. He would be greedy es with with some bottles, probably at

the at the airport, and it would be insanity. I would love it. I would love it, and I think it would be nice to have your your father in law have someone he could like, enjoy too and have a good time with. That was Goldie Hawn dancing. It was a shout out to laughing Brandon. You ever seen laughing? Nope? Did you get the reference when I said Goldie Hawn dancing? Do you'd like know? I know who Goldie Hawn is is in her her daughter Kate Hudson or you were young.

I wouldn't dropped off a script. I remember when we were working at Hallway Pictures at Goldie Han's house, I had a I had a interview to be like an assistant at their production company Weird, and they were talking up they were talking up Kate Hudson and how great she was, and I was just looking at them like, uh, I'm not getting this job, and I did not. Thank God I did not. I saw them a few weeks.

Let's talk about our predictions this week. I'm gonna just in the difference this week, and we only have one game, and people have been asking about this email. I guess I have reference in the first episode where an ex girlfriend of mine tried to burn down my life. I discussed this on the Tonight Show once and and this girl and I have since become friends again. I've like forgiven her now. I think it's kind of a funny story. But I've never actually read the email and its entirety,

so I know we're going along here. I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of edits this week that we'll cut, some cut some time out. But this is worth uh, this is worth saving, This is worth savoring. If the podcast lives on in any sort of way, it will be because of this email. So we're give me your prediction and then I'm going to couch my prediction in this email from uh, we might as well pick the Super Bowl, or should we pick the big game? The

Pro Bowl? I don't want to pick the Pro Bowl because I want to just enjoy it as a fan. It's almost like how like Chris Collinsworth won't predict the game that he's in. There's too much emotion at stake win or Irvan when Irvin and Rice matchup, and I well, I speak for both of us. My I said, we've got a lot of money on this game. Oh of course, our life right. The I mean, when you think Irvin and Rice, you think really the Lombardi and the Belichick

of their errors as coaches, just as masterminds. They get that team they and they only have a couple of days to get them ready, and yet they come out there with some really innovative stuff. The prediction I have for the Super Bowl is not gonna be welcomed in the Millner household. That's my uncle and uh you know, my my cousin Justin Milner, and they're they're big time listeners of the show, at least my uncle is. I think they're Denver Broncos fans, by the way, and I

think they're gonna be disappointed. I don't think this is gonna be like a couple of years ago, John Elway, when he saw that loss, wanted to build a tougher team, a bully, a better defense, and he's done it. He's basically done it, and so their reward will be they'll keep the super Bowl closer. It's gonna be one of those super Bowls that's totally unmemorable. We haven't had one of those in a while where it's just twenty eight to thirteen. It's not it's not exciting, exciting blowout. Panthers

are totally in control the whole time. They're just simply the better team in Peyton Manning goes out on a losing nute. That's my prediction. Okay, that's a uh, that's a good prediction. Now, let me set up this email. I was working on a TV show called The Unit, which was a TV show air for a couple of

seasons on CBS. I was an accounting clerk. That was my that was my day job while I got good at stand up and I got a development deal with MTV to do a TV show where I was a comedian who had a day job that he hated and was trying to get out of it. So he just like hated his boss and we go out at night and be good at stand up and that was like, that was the premise of the show, and I kind of made it just about the people that I worked with,

thinking no one's ever going to see this. And then I broke up with a girl who was kind of Internet savvy, and she took the treatment and then made up an email address. And the treatment is a treatment is like it's like, you know, kind of just talking about the characters on the TV show, on what the TV show is to people who had never never seen it. And I didn't even change names. Uh, And in the treatment that I that she got a copy of. So she made an email account called the Unit snitch at

gmail dot com and then emailed my boss. And then my boss read this email, brought everyone else from my office that was mentioned in it into her office to read it, and then brought me into read it. And I'll read the email right now. This is one of the worst moments of my life. I'm going to go into here, uh subject information about Anthony, Jesselyn, Hi, Cindy. First and foremost, please forgive us for wishing to remain anonymous. We just want to do this quietly without causing major

office drama. Frankly, we're fed up with Anthony and believe the amount of special treatment he receives is extremely unfair. Although we like Anthony outside of the office, his work ethics are despicable. Below are just a few examples of

what he really does well he's here. He constantly tells us how he hates working under you and Chris, and how he plans on letting his workload hile up until January, when one day he's going to come into the office tell you off and helps you'll fire him on the spot. He wants to get fired now, but he can't afford it. He plans on living off unemployment, but right now the amount of unemployment he'd receive isn't enough, and he'll receive more money if he waits until January. Every time I

was gonna say that, I'll check out. Oh yeah, these are not exactly lies, but you don't want to say and play company. Every time you too argue, he laughs about it to us and tells us how psychotic he thinks you are, and how your son should be taken away from you, etcetera. He has no respect for you or anyone else here. He constantly serves the internet, checks and returns personal emails, and downloads music and videos. Every time he walk by his computer, he's on the website

MySpace or ESPN, or reading message boards. He's either late or leaves early, saying he has meetings to attend. He tells you that because he knows you'll believe it. He went out of town three weeks ago, is going out of town next weekend, and again at the beginning of December for an entire week. Why is he allowed to take so much time off? We don't think the extra hours he puts in covers it. It's just not fair. He uses company time to write jokes for his comedian

career and works on his MTV show. His MTV show, by the way, is based on our office and co workers, including you and Chris. He has turned both of you into characters. Below is an example of what we found in his computer, which he wrote on company time and submitted to MTV, and this is now part of the treatment. The show is called day Job. This show operates under the assumption that the day job is a horrible thing,

that anyone who enjoys work is a complete moron. That may be a harsh assessment, but it is certainly true. A day job is not a career. No one, regardless of sex, race, age, or orientation, has ever felt anything but hatred for a day job. Yet is a necessary? Yet is a necessity of survival? Day jobs pay rent, credit card debt, student loans, and bar tabs. Secretaries, clerks, and assistants moved through the awful purgatory of the day job to gain experience so they might one day embark

on fulfilling careers. Young people slaving at a day job are angry young people, and they should be where to channel that anger. This show suggests that frustration should be taken out on the one day job representative that's not in it for the short term, the boss, the day been questioned. Here is a small office housing the following the boss, the boss's secretary, the first assistant, the office supply manager of the receptionist, five computers rose upon rose

of filing cabinets, and Anthony. Anthony is the office anti hero, displaying zero respect for authority, essentially performing no productive tasks for the office, yet managing to be popular and respected man on the job. Having either quit or been fired from every possible job in the area, he cannot lose this one. Anthony carries a chip on his shoulder, the size of the punk rock movement, and behaves as a

borderline sociopath. The choices he makes in life are not based on right or wrong, rather the level of possible embarrassment and effort required. Anthony is also want to be stand up comedian, too clever by three quarters, and operating under the belief that any day now I'll be plucked from day job obscurity and put on Letterman not Lena. Considering Anthony lives in Pittsburgh, not Los Angeles and New York, this is a pipe dream to all but him. Anthony

is no respect for anyone he considers an authority figure. However, are anti hero more than makes up for it with humor and rach arm The boss lady her name is Cindy, and she is the worst all caps playing favorites, completely irrational and utterly irrelevant. She feels that since she makes the most money, she should have to do the least amount of work. Cindy, despite making her pay rank known to all, is constantly having tax problems and lives on

the brink of financial ruin. Could owning seven horses be the problem? She'll never admit it, but she has to leave work constantly to deal with her pet slash friends. Cindy likes Anthony, but only because she doesn't know how he truly feels about her. The first assistant, Chris, is

a sycophant completely disrespected by everyone in the office. Overweight all Gary talks about his sports, go into ridiculous details about statistics and comedy, describing entire episodes of South Park while making about rageous lives about his personal life to build himself up. To build himself up to an apathetic staff, he somehow manages to actually do less work than anyone

but Cindy, although he supposed to be the workhorse. Chris hates Cindy but praises her constantly while barely concealing his desire to replace her. Now, this goes back to by ex just talking to city. Anthony constantly teases us, and while we brush it off as him just being him, it hurts our feelings and leaves us unfocused. It is to the point where we dread working with him and

are uncomfortable around him. He's intimidating, rude, and obnoxious. It's extremely unpleasant witnessing him receiving so much special treatment and getting away with everything is decreasing staff morale. We enjoy working here and value our jobs. Anthony does not. Anthony makes a mockery out of our office and doesn't want to be here. Everyone knows that it's insulting and frustrating to see him get away with so much while we

do lose grunt work. We suggest you beat him at his own game and let him go now, sticking it to him when he can't afford it, instead of letting him win and screwing us all over in January. There are plenty of people who would love to have his job and who would actually work now. Imagine wait, you're actually still back to being semi friends with this girl. Yeah, it was like so ridiculous, and I didn't speak to her for years, and then it was so ridiculous that

it was like kind of funny. And once my boss forgave me, like my boss cried, like the assist guy never talked to me again. Did you end up actually quitting in January? No, I I worked for a little bit. I lost the job when there's a writer strike. That happened, so like I just got kind of laid off like everybody else did. And they finished out for me. Um. But like that night, they all thought it was funny because it was obviously my ex who was doing this.

They're like, no one here would if it almost complaining about you, and everything they said was true about me, by the way, but everyone knew what and thought it was kind of funny. Um, and so like that that's your interpretation of it. One of the guys didn't talk to you. Yeah, well I no. I mean at the time though they thought it was funny. They were like, oh, this is crazy that your ex would do this. My boss had to report it to her boss because it was sent to her company email. She was like they

could see this. So that night they're like laughing about how crazy this is and like don't respond to her, just like let it go. I didn't speak to her again for like years. But then the next day I came into work and they had all had the night to think about it, and it was so like spot on and like details about their lives that they never forgave. Like my boss was crying. I went and I was like, do you want me to quit? This is so awful.

And a couple of years later they like once I kind of you know, made it and got some fame. They would all kind of gett touch with to me. I was sending it anyway, and I kind of laughed about it now, But so I kind of forgave. I kind of forgave the X. But yeah, it was that was It was a rough one. Imagine like I was sweating so hard reading this with all of them staring at me. How old were you at the time, God, this was six or so. Maybe yeah, yeah, I was about ten years ago, so I was about That was

a rough one. That was a rough one. Did she really own seven horses? She had a lot of horses, Brandon, did you when you heard the description of how Anthony joked around and but made fun of all the people around him at work and how it made them feel, did you identify with that at all? It did? It made me sad. I hope one day I can forgive Anthony for this. By the way, Carolina wins, Oh sweet Carolina,

making up for slavery in a tight game. Sit back, enjoy the rock, Sit back, enjoy the rock, Sit back, Joy to rug that wasn't long enough, but would sit back and enjoy the ride? By unknown, the official song of the Pro Bowl Greg This might be our last show. I could see the NFL listening to this and being like, guys, get out of here, stop wasting company resources and time. But if it's not, uh, let me know. How are the God kids doing? How are your daughter and son,

Walker and Elie? Well, like I told you, they moved into you know, Walker moved into Ellis's room and it was the cutest thing the other night, Walker just maybe basically making all these sounds all day and then Ellis wants to come over to him and sort of Pro Bowl fever.
