The Paulie & Tony Fusco Show: SPECIAL REPORT - NBA ALL-STAR GAME DISASTER · The Paulie & Tony Fusco Show

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: All right, right, you come and TOYO live from Philly.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: It's the number on errated Polly and Tony four Star show.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Yo as always Polly First Go, heir with Tony First
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Go and Tony YO. Very important show today. You know,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: while we'd love to continue talking about the Eagles and
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: that total domination of that no talent hack, Patrick Mahomes,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: it is that time of year when we must turn
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: our attention to the NBA, even though nobody wants to.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Nobody wants to, but there's just tons of uproar about
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the NBA All Star Game, which sucked for the twenty
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: seventh consecutive year at least. Yeah. Yeah, this is many
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: people calling on the NBA to come up with ways
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: to fix the game other than canceling it forever, which
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: is the obvious solution. Yes, that would be the best
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: solution anyway, but exactly so, anyway, today we are going
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: to do a deep dive into everything wrong with the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: All Star Game in the NBA in our special report
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: NBA in Crisis, NBA in Crisis. Not only will we
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: break down why the NBA sucks so much, we're going
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: to open up the Verizon Hot Take hot Line ideas
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: from you out there on ways to fix the All
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Star Game again besides canceling it forever, which is still
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: exactly still the best thing to do. But again, just
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to be clear, we know our ideas are way better
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: than yours. But just for the record, you're not coming
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: to you because we need that information. We're coming to
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: you because Verizon paid us millions to do something called
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the hot Take Hotline. So it just takes us a
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: few minutes. We got to listen to your dumb ideas
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and we get paid at a rate of well, I
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: don't want to disclose it, but let's say it's in
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the ten zeros exactly.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: And you know that also helps the pain of us
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: having to sit through all of your takes.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Right, that helps the money. But first, before we get
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: into basketball, Tony, there is one NFL story just broke
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: hit that sounders. According to just release new photos, Patrick
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Mahomes has cut his ugly looking muppet hair after losing
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Now, Doty, what were we saying. We've
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: been telling you ever since Nick Sirianni shaved his head.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: We said there is a direct correlation between hair length
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and winning. Yeah, look at Jalen hurts.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: He has that sweet nineties kid in play short buzz
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: cut fade which allows him to move faster and scramble
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: faster because of the aerodynamics. Meanwhile, look at Trevor Lawrence
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: with his long, luscious flowing hair. No wonder he's throwing
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: all those picks. The hair is clearly getting in his
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: eyes and he can't see the field or any of
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: his receivers. I think it's clear that instead of the
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Jaguars getting him a new coach, they need to get
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: him a barber.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Great follicle analysis is always doty and that's our breaking news. Okay,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: so there we go, got down out of the way,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: and well now it's time to begin our special report.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: NBA in crisis, NBA in crisis again. Just so much
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: went horribly wrong over the NBA All Star Break. Now,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: we'd love to tell you dissect everything that went wrong,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: but frankly, we didn't watch a single second of it. Now,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: of course, we had tickets to see Billy Joel at
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the Vegan Sun exactly. So honestly, all that takes from
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: clips we saw on Twitter blog posts and also just
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: takes we're recycling from the last All Star game we
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: watched in twenty thirteen. But still all these points are
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: very relevant, and Tony, you had a great one. You
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: told me in the car ride back.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Tell the people, Well, first of all, you know so
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: many people call it the All Star break. Well, we
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: all know employees don't want to work when they're on break.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: A much smarter idea would be to call it the
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: NBA All Star Work Retreat. You know that way these
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: lazy gen z, the NBA players know that it's fun
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: but also work related and therefore mandatory is dictated by
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the terms of their employer.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Great point, don'y I mean, what is the most important
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: event in all of basketball? The dunk Contest?
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Yep?
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: And the lineup of the dunk Contest with three no
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: names in Mac McClung, who's not even a professional basketball
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: player now he's in the G League. How can you
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: call this the All Star weekend when it's not all stars? Sense?
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: You can't?
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, shouldn't it be called like half Star weekend then?
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Or you know, maybe like a three to eight star weekend. Yeah,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: if I'm a consumer or the FCC, I would sue
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: the NBA for false advertising. You know, at least when
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: people went to this year's Pro Bowl. They got to
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: see actual NFL stars like Joe Burrow, and you know
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: there was also.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen. No, no, he declined to participate. That's right,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson he was there. No, no, he also declined
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: to participate. Manning was there. I mean he wasn't on
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the field. Yeah, he was there totally. That's Burrow. I
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: mean that's a name, that's a big name exactly. Anyway, right, well, look,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: you know there are other problems with the All Star Game.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Draymond Green. You know, he came out on the broadcast
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and he said the game's boring, terrible, and then you know,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Charles Barkley came back at him and said, well, it's
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Draymond Green's generation. You're ruined the All Star Game. And
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: you know this is just so true, Tony. Basketball's gone
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: totally downhill since Barkley left, totally.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: You know, the game of basketball was so much more
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: exciting during Charles Barkley's generation. You know, people didn't tune
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: in back then just to see who would win and
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: who would lose, but who would be hospitalized or even murdered.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: You know, people forget that in the late eighties and
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: early nineties, people would literally root for athletes to kill
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: each other.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: But then OJ Simpson, you know, murdered two civilians and
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: then people were like, whoa, whoa, whoa, that's too far,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: and that led to the PC anti murder sports world
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: that we're in right now.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Just such a terrible drop off, fan, Tony, and you know,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you know it's so true because you know, you look
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: at the reception that the NHL All Star Game got
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: this year, where there was basically, you know, ninety eight
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: percent fighting in two percent hockey. Perfect that exactly. That
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: used to be what the NBA was all about, until
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the league just totally lost its way, don't you agree,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent?
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: We all know the number one metric for all sports
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: fan gae engagement exactly. And there was no greater example
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: of fan engagement than the Malice at the Palace. You know,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: fans not only got to come on the court, but
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: they got a chance to actually punch players in the face.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: It was the ultimate fantasy camp.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, who wouldn't want to come to the stadium
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: and have a chance to punch Lebron James in the throw?
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Just terrific points all around, Tony and you know, this
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: is what made Charles Barkley so great. He was a
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: master of fan engagement. Just engaged with fans all the time,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: you know, throwing them through ball windows, restaurant windows, hotel windows,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: assaulting them in the streets randomly, shoving them into gutters
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: and having such of their girlfriends right in front of
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: them while they cried. You know, just giving them such
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: memorable experiences all around, you know.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Making memories for the fans that would last a lifetime.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: You know, and Tony I got to agree with Charles
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Barkley and all the points he made because you know,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: when I watched basketball these days, it's just terrible. There's
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: there's too much scoring. I mean, I see some of
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: these scores, one hundred and seventy nine through one hundred
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and sixty seven. Is this a basketball game or a
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: bowling match? What's going on now?
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: You know, the NBA was so much better in the
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: eighties and nineties, when U had scores like sixty two
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: to fifty nine. You know, tight defensive battles where teams
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: shot nineteen percent from the field because they were afraid
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: of being decapitated by Dennis Rodman.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: All the games came down to a tense edgy.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: You see free throw battle in the last two minutes,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: and you know each free throw was so important because
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: accounted for like eleven twelve percent of the team's total score. Yep,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: that was real stakes and real tension.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Just such great basketball analysis all around that, Dody. And
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: you want to talk tension, I gotta say I'm a
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: little tense about what we got coming up next time.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: You know, as we've said before, we don't like opening
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: up the phone lines because you know, you never know
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: what you're gonna get. Well you're doing, it's all terrible.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: So what we've done is we've come up with this
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: thing called the hot Take Hotline, where people know they
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: can send us that takes email video. And yet some
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: people struggle with those very complex instructions. Tony. We received
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of type emails, yeah, a lot of texts.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Maybe our audience is full of like Stephen Hawkings or
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: something that's what's going on out Well, they're just all
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: AI who knows, but you know, you never know these days, Tony. Anyway,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: So here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna go ahead
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: right now and we're gonna open up the Verizon Hot
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: take hotline. Yeah, all right, so this is what we
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: did the other day. We sent out a tweet whatever
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: from my Instagram wherever, and it said, give us your
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: smartest ideas to fix the terrible NBA All Star Games.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: So we haven't bothered listened to any of these because
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: you know, we're very busy, and also we kind of
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: don't care. But a producer, he apparently narrowed these down
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: to the most interesting ones, best ones, not horrible ones. Producer,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: what what's first up?
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: First one is from Simon and his brother?
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, what's his brother's name? Does his brother have
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: a name? Brother?
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: I don't know, No, I don't know.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Sorry, we forgot to ask you to do this simple
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: job of finding out who the videos are sending. Okay,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: go ahead, play, Just go ahead and hit play. All right.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: You know, so you're asking how we should fix the
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: All Star Game, and what we really should do is
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: we have to make a one v one tournament with players.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: In the NBA.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: Let's entertain like the catch should make it better.
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: All seventy six ers players and it gets better announcing
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley because they know ball.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: They know ball.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: They're great ball.
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: Like, you know, I would personally invite Nick Foles.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: He knows how to win.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: He's a winner.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: He knows how to win. That's how you make the
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: All Star Game better and win, you know, Tony, Uh,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I do appreciate that creativity close. The problem is is
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: that if you put Nick Foles in any athletic competition,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: he's just gonna win. By a mind, He's just gonna win,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: and it's not gonna be competitive at all. Like exactly,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: he went and played pickle ball, as we told you
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: how the past episode these he's the greatest pickleball player
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: of all time. Just a great multi sport athlete.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: And also, you know, the problem too is if you
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: have Nick Foles there on a basketball court, you know,
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: it creates a safety issue because you know they might
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: trip over.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: You know that that's so true, Tony. You know, when
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: he's in the football gear, the long pants totally safe
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: for everybody. But in those short NBA pants, it's like
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna have like an anchor on the frost
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: there running tripping paper. So you know, again, you know,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I gotta commend them. They're thinking outside the box, maybe
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: too far outside the box. But all right, thank you,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: thank you, Simon, Simon, and whoever that other person was,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: all right, produce. So who's up next? Nathaniel is next? Okay,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: let's go.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: So my idea to fix the NBA All Star Game
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: is you take all of the players in the first
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: half of the season who have the most technical fouls.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: You get all of those players on a team and
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: have them play a full regulation game against all of
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: the nb A refs, and whoever loses that game gets
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: fined fifty million dollars.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: All right, you know, not bad. You know, he had
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: me in the first half there with that the technical foul.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Then he kind of lost me because you know what,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: do we know that every you need steaks, Tony? What's
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: fifty million dollars? Nobody cares about what I care. What
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: you do is you have the technical fouls people, they
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: play against a team of correctional officers, right exactly, and
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: then they go back and flay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then what happens is the losing team gets
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: put on death row.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Now facts, those are steaks right there exactly. That it's
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: life of death. I may watch a quarter of one
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: hundred million, the fourth quarter I'd watch not the first.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: The end of the fourth quarter, like the last two
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: minutes exactly. But all right, that some d simple effort,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: noble efforts. Have credit that to Nathaniel. Okay, yeah, all right,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: next one, producer.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: We got Tom from Chicago.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Tom from Chicago. So now now we've the producer has
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: now gone. He took our note. Now we're getting a
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: little more biographical information on these staple Okay, all right,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Tom from Chicago. Hit play eight, PAULI eight.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Tony, it's Tom from Chicago. You're a big fan of
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: the show. Guys, congrants on the super Bowl win. There's
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: only one way to save the NBA game for next year.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: Magnet shoes. Okay, when we're all playing basketball, we're having
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: a good time. It's when the celebrities, Kevin Hat, mister
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Beast try to come on the court, things go to shit.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: So put magnet shoes on all the celebrities. When they
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: try to come on magnet floor, they get stuck and
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: they can't move. So there you go.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Fix it for you guys. What the hell was that
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: accent Tony had?
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: It was like he went back and forth from like
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: a Chicago accent to like a Swedish accent.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: I felt like he was like making fun of people
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: from Chicago, Like I actually kind of found it offensive
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: to people from Chicago, And therefore I really wasn't listening
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: to most of what he was saying, except when I
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: did realize he had totally stolen one of our takes
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: from right from who said madness, who said yeah that
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: we could stop court storming in college basketball by putting
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: magnet shoes not on the on the people in the stands,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: And now he's turning it around into this other thing. Yeah,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: you know, it's just very offensive to put on an
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: accent of someone you're very clearly not well. Anyway, Yay,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: let's move on the more serious call as I who
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: we got up next?
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, we got Elliott Elliott.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Let's go, Hello, Fusco show.
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: I'm Elliott Seisman, proud Dallas Cowboy fans, the twenty twenty
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: five Super Bowl winners. My idea on how to fix
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: the NBA All Star Game season bands for air balls.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: It would get rid of.
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: These weird shots from nowhere that are very unimpressive. But
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: I understand there's bets on half court shots. How's Vega
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: is gonna make its money if you make a half
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: court shot, you win the NBA.
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I'll be out my take. I don't know about you, Tony,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: but when I saw that he was wearing a Cowboys
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: jersey and an Ezekiel Elliott jersey, I immediately knew this
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: was not someone worth listening though. Yeah.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: As soon as he said Cowboys twenty twenty five champions,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: I immediately turned out.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I didn't even hear that. By that, I can't even now.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I'm like, exactly, let's forget just move one, all right,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: next one?
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Well, this one, I'll read it to you. It's an email.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: There was no video.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: What was it sent from eighteen ninety six? What's going
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: on here?
• 15:50

  Speaker 1: Not really, but go.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: A couple points one at a retired player five versus five, one.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Versus oh sorry, there was like a dramatic pause that

• 16:11
  Speaker 3: so like Max to a super max contract.

  Speaker 1: Is there a PowerPoint? There was? Sam? Is this a
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: power point? Yeah?
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: East versus West, with winners of the game getting contract upgrades.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Just like I said before.
• 16:24

  Speaker 1: It felt like whatever you just.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: I just want to apologize to Noah. I didn't hear
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: one word because produce a Jay reading the email was the.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: It was the worst thing I've ever experienced. Can we
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: go back to this being a hotline segment? Can you
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: get some video audio something? Please?

• 16:51
  Speaker 8: This is how I propose we fixed All Star weekend.
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: We need to implement a sacrificial event. We haven't done
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: sacrifices in five hundred years, but people used to die
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: for that stuff. They wouldn't stop watching it. We need
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: to bring that back. Just we could sacrifice anyone Derek
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: Lively see you see ya? Just sacrifice him so many
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: people will.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Watch, you know, Donnie, Okay, So that's he has on
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: the something there. I mean, it's a terrible idea, something
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: for the awesome game. But I see what you're thinking.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: I know this for this show exactly might work. Like
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: at the end of the show was murder someone. So
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: we need to do is find someone to murder. There
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: we go. We just need to find someone to Although
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: the gods may be angry at us for sending him
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: up to them. You know that's fire right anyway, all right,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: let's move on to the next one. Thank you, Bennett.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I guess all right, what's the next one?
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: One?
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Audio clip from Western from DC.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: That's very confusing, shouldn't it be? Easton is in DC?
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Are you sure his name is Weston?
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Western?
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Alright? Whatever? Play it, all right?
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: Go hi, Paulie and Tony, love you guys. Fuck you
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: producer Jay. I'm Western from DC and to fix the
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: All Star Game. You guys remember that Britney grinder for
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: the Russian arms dealer swap. We need to have political
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: prisoners on the line, so we can have Team Lebron
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: and the bad guys versus Team Embiid and the good guys.
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: We can win back an American hero, a soldier that's
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: been captured. Maybe we pay some sketchy guys to capture
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: one of our true American heroes a week before the
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: All Star Game every year, and then we can put
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: up a bad guy that we've captured in a war,
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: in prison, whatever it may be.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: But put that on the line.
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: There's some real stakes to it.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: The players will have to try. Wow. I gotta say,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I gotta say, Tony, I'm kind of flawed right now.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: I was not lost, you know, I thought our audience
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: was clearly all just total morons. But I gotta say it,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I think we found the one smart boy and we're
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: gonna give it up for him. What's his name again? Easton? Easton?
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: West?
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: All right? Well, West and there you goton you national

• 19:28
  Speaker 1: know he's watching. We will wait to see that you've

• 20:52
  Speaker 3: In the NBA in the nineties, scoring was so low
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: that a free throw would count for eleven to twelve
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: percent of a team's total score.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, bro, very tight contest, bro. Yeah.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: No, for a free throw to count eleven or twelve percent,
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: teams would have to be scoring like eight or nine
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: points per game. That never happened.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Well, after the show, I'm going to free
• 21:18
