all coming up on episode 180 of the Jesselnick and Rosenthal Vanity Project.
JRVP, junior vice president.
In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.
Do you know what that quote's from?
No.
You don't?
I mean, no, I don't.
Are you sure?
I'm sure.
It's your girl.
I have so many girls.
It's Anne Frank.
Oh.
That's like the, that's like the quote of Anne Frank.
I put that in there to replace my Kanye quote I was going to, originally going
to go with.
Before we came in here, I was like, you know what?
Let me switch up to Kanye, put in some, put in my homegirl, Anne Frank.
Greg will pick up on it.
First of all, let me just call it out and say that you're in a much better mood
than I am today.
You're like all like happy.
I'm trying to, you know, I have a bunch of shows, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.
This is the last one of them.
It's like, I can see a little break ahead and you almost got to fake it till
you make it.
You know, I always defended Anne Frank, by the way.
You gave me grief that that is an excellently written book.
It's like underrated as a piece of writing.
I think it's a weird thing for a man in his 40s to recommend to people to be
reading.
You read it in school.
I think I'm the right person to do it because I never read it in school and it's
an incredible piece of literature.
And I think that's sort of what was, that's what's lost.
It's like this, it's like this historic document.
But no, that girl could write, give her some props.
But when you say it's literature.
Yeah.
Are you saying it's fiction?
No, but it's, I consider like memoir or what do they call it now?
Not metafiction.
You know, like Knosgaard, his, I don't know why I'm blanking right now on that
style of writing.
Rachel Cusk, which is basically like life.
That's fiction.
I mean, that's how people write fiction.
So yes, it's literature.
Autofiction.
The diary of Anne Frank is a piece of nonfiction.
It's her diary.
I guess the whole idea of autofiction is it's like, how can you really write
about the past without shaping it and adjusting it and adding quotes that maybe
weren't exactly right.
And so Anne Frank was ahead of her time, an amazing writer, and she started the
autofiction movement.
Oh yeah, you're crediting with that?
I guess first get some personal business out of the way.
People who follow me on Instagram have been messaging me for weeks now, saying
they've been getting DMs from someone claiming to be my personal manager.
I got one of those too.
You did?
Well, someone told me that they were getting that from your personal manager.
Yes, someone that I know.
Yeah, my personal manager is a woman named Christy Smith who does not DM people.
But people would send me these, and it would seem so ridiculous that I was like,
obviously no one's going to fall for this, but I'm just going to read it to you.
So if you get a message on Instagram from Patricia Richmond, who says, hello
you there.
Hello you there.
You have such a profound impact in Anthony Jeselnik's career with your likes,
love, and support.
A thank you text would fail to express our gratitude to you.
We love you.
As Jeselnik might want to meet up or maybe have a single conversation with such
loyal, loved fans like you are, Jeselnik would want you to write him personally
as he would like to talk to you.
By the way, my name is Patricia Richmond, and I happen to be his personal
manager.
I have a manager.
I have a business manager.
I do not have a personal manager.
I am not going to reach out to you.
I am not grateful for the things that you do.
And it's so ridiculous.
I remember someone sent it to me, and they responded to it was, are you for
real?
Like Anthony would never say any of these things.
I don't believe anyone would fall for it, but if you see that, block them.
Well, no, I don't think Patty Richmond is for real.
Have you considered reaching out to Patricia Richmond and, you know, telling
her to stop or seeing what kind of services she offers as a manager?
I mean, if she's going to reach out to fans one by one to tell them how much I
appreciate and how grateful I am.
What is she trying to get out of it?
I'm a little confused.
That's the thing is I thought it would end with her asking for like a credit
card number or some sort of.
I think it's a long con where like if you write back, you know, she just puts
out feelers, and if you come back to her, then she hits you up for the money.
She's got 5,000 followers on Instagram, which isn't nothing.
It's got to be a scam.
Of course.
I'm just saying.
I don't know.
Like I posted photos from last weekend in Oxnard today and like immediately
tons of comments, and I'm like, oh, what are these comments?
And it's all like some spam shit about some sort of like work from home thing
that like Instagram has got some weird stuff.
I'm new.
I'm new to Instagram.
Only a couple months.
I don't know about this stuff.
But if anyone reaches out to you on Instagram on my behalf, they're lying.
Especially Patricia Richmond.
Mm-hmm.
She's the biggest liar of them all.
Other than that, I went and saw a movie I think you would love.
I went and saw Triangle of Sadness.
Have you heard of this movie?
Yes.
It won the Palme d'Or.
That's about all I know, and I saw like a very complimentary tweet, and that's
about it.
But I also saw that and thought, I bet I would like that.
You would like it.
It won the Palme d'Or.
I knew that it won the Palme d'Or.
I knew one of the actresses is dead, had died since the movie came out recently,
and I knew that Woody Harrelson was in it for a little bit.
And all those things are true, and it was great.
I loved it.
Liz really enjoyed it.
So we enjoyed a lot of great movies coming out now.
Now was like the big season for movies.
I feel like October until Christmas is when the heavy hitters come out.
I can't wait to see Tar.
I want to see, what's the one, we're talking about In Bruges later, but not a
sequel, but a spiritual sequel to In Bruges.
Same actors, same writer-director is out now.
I forget the name of it, but that looks awesome.
There's a bunch of great ones coming out now that I'm excited about.
I need help.
I need help for Recommendation Station.
I don't know anything about movies coming out.
I feel like I'm as one-dimensional in my pop culture taste right now as I've
ever been.
And that pop culture intake for me is sports.
That's not pop culture.
I mean, it's popular, and everyone's watching it.
Sure.
Sure.
But not to the level that you take it.
You know, you're a little weird.
You don't see me obsessing over the Steelers every week.
I'm not obsessing, yes you do, and I'm making a living out of it.
Sending the kids to college.
This is sending them to college.
State school.
This is sending them to private school.
This podcast will overtake.
You're going to hit all your bonuses.
Yeah, I don't even wait for Recommendation Station to name the movies I've seen
this week.
I pull it out up top to tell the people.
I know, you did that with J.I.D. the other week.
It's like, how many good things do I have to recommend?
You stole it there, too.
People should check out that J.I.D. album, by the way, because I'm still
listening to it.
Album of the Year.
I'm a book boy for Recommendation Station.
We should call it Recommendation Book Station.
I might do that to you.
Make you read a book a week.
I could do it.
Or at least I could go back through.
I could do it.
My goal was 52 books this year.
I think it's always like 52.
If I don't hit it, whatever.
But I like to try to read 52 a year.
And this next book I read, I just got the new Cormac McCarthy that came out
today.
I'm going to read that.
And that will be number 52.
So you're not going to read the rest of the year?
I'm going to read the rest of the year.
I'm saying I nailed my goal.
And it took me like two months to read my second book.
Because the first book I read this year took me so goddamn long.
I don't have a goal or anything.
But that's around where I've settled in at lately.
Which is the peak of my life in terms of how much I'm reading.
And I love it.
But I read twice as much from February to September than I do the rest of the
year.
So it's front loaded.
And once I hit that week one, it's tough.
It slows down.
Yeah.
You can't read and watch football.
I'm just saying it takes up time.
That's all.
It's not the same.
You can't read a book and say somebody has heart.
By the way, I have read from four books this year.
Well, name them.
I didn't say I finished them.
But I have read from them.
Name them.
I read The Hobbit for the first time.
All the way through.
No one believes it's the first time, bro.
It is the first time.
The Robin biography.
The Robin biography?
Yeah, Robin Williams biography.
There's this book about your back.
Sorry, my voice is terrible right now.
No, this is better.
It's sexy.
You sound passionate about books.
I like it.
We need more of this.
You read a book about your back?
Yeah, yeah.
God damn.
So bad.
You jumped in.
We didn't surprise you with this.
You're absolutely right.
I apologize.
What's the fourth book?
I guarantee it's the Bible.
Aaron's gone.
Aaron's dry heaving in a puddle of books.
I shouldn't have asked him to name all four.
And it's called Healing Back Pain Forever or something like that by Dr. Jules Sarno.
That doesn't even count.
People swear by it.
I have not finished it.
It's very hard to read.
It's an instructional manual.
I've heard of this book.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was four?
Okay.
Two books about backs?
No, just the one.
So it's three books.
I guess now that I count it, yeah.
Robin Williams, The Hobbit, and You're Back.
Do you count Cardinals Magazine?
No.
And I would think that everyone who read The Hobbit this year also read a book
about back
pain.
I don't most.
I think they might just sell those together.
All right.
Thanks for jumping in, Aaron.
So this weekend, this weekend I performed in Oxnard.
Five shows in Oxnard.
Got the car service to come and take me.
All good.
Had a good time.
Great shows.
Honestly, some of the shows were some of the best I've had all weekend.
And I've had great shows all weekend, you said.
I mean, the whole tour.
San Jose was great.
Irvine was great.
Oxnard was amazing.
And I'm enjoying it.
And I'm not talking to the s
