Eric and Jeff Rosenthal: Part 2 – Building Relationships and Embracing Chaos

Unglossy: Decoding Brand in Culture

Ever wondered how a simple apartment podcast evolved into a cultural phenomenon? Join us for Part 2 of our amazing conversation with Eric and Jeff Rosenthal, as they take us through the extraordinary journey from creating comedic sketches to becoming recognized voices in the podcasting world. They open up about the magic that happens when genuine relationships and authenticity become the foundation of your work, sharing unforgettable moments from their podcast, 'A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal," and guests like Kevin Gates, Jim Jones, and Swizz Beatz, whose warmth and spontaneity turned simple recordings into lasting memories.
Listen to Jeffrey recount Andre 3000 telling his story of Pimp C on The Shop and the importance of staying true to the culture we love. You'll hear about the New York City escapades, building meaningful connections with industry heavyweights, and the ways in which a podcast has inspired others to chase their dreams.
From Kodak Black's antics to the Migos' unique demands, and even a dream of playing Connect Four with Stevie Wonder, we explore the blend of creativity, persistence, and fun that keeps this dynamic duo going. This is not just a recounting of past podcast episodes but a heartfelt appreciation of the support system and relationships that has fueled their success. Tune in for laughter, inspiration, and a genuine look at what it takes to build something meaningful in the world of content.
