  Speaker 2: reveal the other day. I got to read it.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Hit my phone.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: It says I looked in the mirror and I asked
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: what type of useless space I've become? You know what
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: they always say in the NFL, the Fusco Show is
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: the best podcast and that just made total sense, so
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: well written.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what a piece of right And you're not.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: A useless space bro. Whoever wrote that year? His name's Philly,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Philly five four three to one extration. Great name, Yeah,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: great name, great choice. And if you can beat that,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: you go right now to Apple fivecass and try your hardest.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you can do better. I doubt anyway.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Anyway, here we go without further aduel, let's get right
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: into a top story story. We were planning to open
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: up the show with the big sports gambling story, but
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: there's one other story.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Right now, Tony, we must cover. Of course, we're talking.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: About that marathon eighteen inning year Game three win by
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers over the Blue Jays. But first props to you, Tony,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: you're totally called it. You bet the over seventeen and
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: a half innings, just a great call by your very well.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Easy call, an easy money yep.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: And you know people are saying that the Dodgers were
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: the big winner in that game three. No, No, the
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: clear big winner was the United States of America. Yeah, exactly,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: because when you look at it, what happened in Game
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: three was even more effective than all the tariffs combined.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: We forced all the Canadians and all the Asians to
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: stay up late last night, therefore making them very sluggish
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: at work and further damaging their economy. If you think
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: about it, extra long baseball games is possibly the best
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: way to destroy our enemies.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: And you know our enemies.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: They tried with cricket, didn't they, Doughty, But we didn't
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: fall for this extra long stupid spoil.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: The game was on in the middle of the day
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: in Asia.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: You're in the middle of the show.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Why are you in direct that you're going to be
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: in the middle of a cemetery now shout out?
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: What does he think? This is the time zone channel?
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: And really all right? Quiet?
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: By the way, you know, there are reports that the
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Blue Jays may now be intentionally walking show hey Otani
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: through the rest of the series, Doddy, your reaction to this.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: You know, we haven't seen this level of home run
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: hitting since Barry Bonds, Yrk McGuire and Sammy Sosa.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: And you know what an honor to show hey.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Otani to be in the same conversation as those names.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: It just must truly be an honor for him absolutely.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Anyway, now we'll get to this scandal quote unquote rocking
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: the entire.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Professional sports world.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Players coach Chauncey Billups Miami Heat player Dry Rosier arrested
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: for this illegal gambling scheme fixing prop best spoke as usual.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: If there's one thing you can always bet on in
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: this country, it's people jumping to dumb conclusions.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: You know, the saying this is bad for sports.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: If your people just step back and shut up for
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: a moment, you'll see how this could all be good.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Isn't that right?
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: This is exactly why they say every cloud has a
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: silver line around.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: It, exactly. First off, let's just start with this start.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: You know, people say gambling is bad because you know,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: these players get in the tremendous debt they'd have to
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: fix games to avoid being you know, shot, dismembered, whatever.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Well, to me, that makes the game more exciting.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, if I'm watching Celtics Magic on a Tuesday night,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: well what do I care who wins?
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Exactly?
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: But if I know, you know, one of the players
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: is going to be violently bludgeoned to death if he
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: doesn't grab over five and a half rebounds, well that's
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: must see TV.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, am I wrong? No, of course not.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: And you know again, what if you just brought that
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: player's family to the game. That way, it makes it
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: more of a family event, So that's good. And you know,
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: you just have one of those red lasers on his sick,
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: elderly grandmother's head and we keep.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Her on the screen the whole game.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, if he misses those free throws, then
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: you know, boom boom, boom boom. But if he sinks
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: the free throws, then he's the hero who saved his
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: elderly grandmother.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: What a beautiful story, the story exactly.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: And you know, again, we know a lot of these
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: players are already gambling, So why are we letting it
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: happen behind closed doors?
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: No sense?
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: These things are better when we bring them out into
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: the opening. Imagine if the scoreboard was attached to the
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: player's bank account. He misses a three throw, boom, you
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: see seventy thousand dollars taken out of his checking account
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: right there on the screen.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: I would be watching the scoreboard the entire game, and
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: you could hear the announcer. He shoots, he misses, he
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: can no longer afford to send his kids to college.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Now that is excitement. That's excitement.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: And you know another thing these people say, You know
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: they're worried because you don't know which players are gambling
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: and which ones are.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Well, easy fix.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: We just have the players who are gambling play on
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: the same team and we call the team the Gamblers.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: You got Johntay Porter, Terry Roseier, you got the team
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: coached by Chauncey Billups. And that would be real stakes
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: because you know, the goal wouldn't be a who wins
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: the game? It would just be can the whole team
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: come out in the black and not the red? You
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: know that would be must see TV right there. And
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: you know, again it would bring the families together.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: You know, they would want to root for the Gamblers
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: to win, so you know they wouldn't have to worry
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: about being kidnapped and held for ransom.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Just another beautiful family moment there. And you know, while
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: we're talking about this too, you know a lot of
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: people they're saying, the problem is with these injury reports
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: right and now, Well, the NFL and NBA they're considering
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: changing the way these teams disclose their injury Well, frankly,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: it's about time isn't it, Tony.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: You know, I've never understood why we even have injury reports.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: Ye shouldn't every single player be listed as quick questionable?
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: You know, you don't know if a play is going
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: to get hit by a bus on the way to
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: the stadium, or even if the stadium is going to
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: be there, if a tornado destroys it. You know, I
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: could be questionable to live to see tomorrow. Well, you know,
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: maybe not me, but definitely our producer. I mean yeah,
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: I know with him, right of course.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: In fact, look right now, Donny, we got one of
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: those red lasers right on him.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Man, Now this is steakes.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: You see that our wondering Yep, everybody's hoping, hoping for
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: the best stuffing cross that.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: That's a straight shot, yep.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, he's he's he's sulkin, he's angry.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Look at him direct.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Hurting the laser and making it tough for the sharp shooter.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: He's missed a sense. You're another thing, people, You got
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: to learn about your history here. You know, people all
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: forget and they act like there's no place for gambling
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: in this country. But that is so shameful that they
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: don't know about America's history. Our country was founded on gambling,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: wasn't it, Dony?
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: I mean, who's the greatest gambler of all time? Christ Columbus. Yeah,
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: as we all know, he bet the King of Italy
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: a thousand euros that there was a country on the
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: other side of the Pacific Ocean, and then he got
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: in his boats, the El Nino and the El Pinto,
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: just to prove to everyone that they were all stupid
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: for betting against him, and that bet paid off for
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: all of us. Know, when you think about it, Christopher
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: Columbus was basically the Tyrey Rozia of his time.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Just such incredible historical perspective that, don'y And you know, people,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: they're getting worried that this gambling stuff is affecting the
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: integrity of the sport. Please, They're totally getting carried away.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Aren't here.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, come on, the integrity of the sport
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: of basketball is still clearly intact.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: We all know.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: They are real problems when you know, some superstar player
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: gets traded to another team for no reason, or you know,
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: referees start making bizarre calls and affecting the outcome of
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: you know, like the Western Conference finals or something, or
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: you know, a team just randomly gets the number one
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: pick despite incredible, overwhelming odds and defying all mathematical logic.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: You know, luckily that hasn't happened yet. So just relax
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: every exactly. Just relax, Papa.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: And you know, while we're talking relax, I don't understand
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: why people are coming down so hard on these players
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: like Rosie.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, why are people blaming Terry Rosia.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: Shouldn't they be blaming the mob boss who told one
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: hundred people to.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Bet on Terry Rosier. That guy is the total idiot.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, when you think about it, the real problem
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: here is that the mafia are.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: The ones that are the Can you hold on one second.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I got to take this call here real quick. It's
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: really important. Just hold on one sea, okay, come problem? Yeah, hello, yo,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: big tea? What's up?
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: No?
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: What you're listening right now? About what I said?
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: No?
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: I was just missing around. No, I would never No,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: the producer, our producers don't want to put it in
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: a prompt.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, mister t Yes, of course, of course understood,
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: No problem, No problem, you got it, Okay, how about it?
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry? Who is that Tony?
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Just the wrong number. Sorry, Uh, what were we talking
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: about again? Let's just why don't we Uh, I don't remember,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I remember?
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Why weve on? We gotta we gotta move on. Anyway,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Let's just move to the NFL. You know, paper ones
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: again bashing Jalen Hearts because they only threw for one
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: hundred and seventy nine yards in that wind over the Giants.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: How many times do we have to explain to you
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: people unbelieve that this is what being an expert passer
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: is all about.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Tell him, Donnie.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: You know when people talk about passing, they think that
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: only means throwing the ball.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: No.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: No, he's also.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Passing up opportunities to throw the ball that, by definition,
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: is also passing. Jalen Hurts routinely passes on passing, and
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: that's what makes him such a great passer.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: How hard is that to understand? Not hard at all, now,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, look at the Kirk Cousins.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he passes pass and that's why he's always passing,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: which makes him.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: A terrible passerable passer exactly, And that's the problem right there, exactly,
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: And you're talking about problems.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Great segue, DONI.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Let's move to the Cowboys, who suffered a humiliating defeat
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: to the Broncos, and yet after the game, head coach
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Brian Schottenheimer came out and said, quote, it's just one game.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: You're a Cowboys fan. You have got to be concerned,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: don't you.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, doesn't Brian Schottenheimer realize the team has played more
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: than one game. They've actually played eight games and lost
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: four of them. How can you be the head coach
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: of a team and not know how many games you've played? Ah,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: I have no idea unbelievable.
