  Speaker 1: Swish and you know, we're gonna get into all our

  Speaker 1: top stories as usual, but first gotta get a little
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: business out of the way. And add for our good
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: friends at Big League Chew. Do you chew gum by
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the stick? Well, what's the matter with you? Yeah, what

  Speaker 1: the handful. Exactly, Big League chew bubble gum for real men,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Big League chew. All right, you know the reason people
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: love this show when we get huge ratings, we get
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: right into things. So we're not gonna waste anyone's time
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: without further a dude, here we go. Let's get into
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: our top story to story. First story out the gate
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: of course, the Phillies in the World Series, while the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Yankees blow the big one, and you know, downy on
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the subject of blowing, we were blowing up on TikTok
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: this week, you know, without terrific take of course, especially
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the one where we pointed out, you know, the Yankees
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: who are going home early, well, their payroll is way
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: way higher than the Phillies payroll. Now, people they didn't
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: want to believe this, so they come at us and
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: they say, what do you mean it's higher? There's only
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: a nine million dollar difference. Nine million dollar difference. Suddenly,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: that's not a lot of money. Shame on your people, right,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: don'ty shame on them. Yeah, we know a lot of people,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: not us, but a lot of people that could use
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: that kind of money. Again, not us, We are doing
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: very well for ourselves, just to be clear. But other
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: people could use nine million dollars. Yeah, if you want
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to be what are those elitist pigs out there who
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: wants to tell us nine million dollars is not a
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: lot of money. Well, you know, tell that straight to
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the face of Philly's hero relief pitcher, Sir Anthony Dominguez,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: who just delivered a clutch six out playoffs save and
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: is only making a pultry seven hundred and twenty five
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars this season, absolutely underpaid, right, don't exactly struggling
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to put food on the table. Nine million dollars could
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: get you forty, Sir Anthony Dominguez is, And that's how
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: you thought show some respect. Yeah, you want to say
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: nine million dollars is not a lot of money, Please
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: tell that through Phillies legend Mike Schmidt. You know we
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: looked this up before the show. You know, between the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: years and four years in that Tonty Mike Schmidt only
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: made nine million dollars total and he was the league's
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: top player. So you know, nine million dollars is clearly
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: at a lot of money if it was enough to
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: buy Mr Mike Schmidt. But you know, don'ty, we're not
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: gonna let negativity take over the show. We're gonna have
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: some positivity. It was we're also known for. And you know,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: in the midst of all this Philly celebration, you know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: we saw a great interview this week, don'ty. You know,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: it's so it's so great when you see a former
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: player come on to speak positively, you know, about about
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the franchise he used to play for. And now that's
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: when you get real honest talk, you know. And that
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: was absolutely the case out of what we saw from
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Phillies champion and legend Ryan Howard, you know, from that
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: terrific both thousand and eight championship team. He went on
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the beloved Key Shawan, J. Will and Max Show on ESPN,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: a K A KGM for all the viewers there, you know,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: all thousands of them, however, but you know, he shared
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: some terrific insight on this show. Hey, listen to this
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: all right. So in order to get to a championship,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: what do you think is the biggest key for the
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Phillies going against the Astros in the World Series. Man,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the biggest key is they just got to continue to
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: just be themselves, Uh, play their game. You know, you
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: gotta go in Hey, everybody always says if you're gonna
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: be a championship team, and you gotta win on the road.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: So you gotta go into Houston a little bit of
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: hostitl territory. Um at least, you know, come away with
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: a split if you can, and bring it back to Philly. Wow.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: So much terrific insight and wisdom to unpack there. You know,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I don't even know where to stop Tony. But first,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: you know, he is a hundred percent right, because you know,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: you see so many teams they get to the series
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and they incorrectly think, you know, they say to themselves,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: we need to stop doing all the things that got
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: us it. Yep, we see it all the time. Yeah.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: And you know another point Team made there, which is
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: just spot on terrific. He explained that teams need to
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: win on the road. You know, this is where teams
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: always go wrong, Tony. They get to the series and
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: they forget the importance of winning on the road. Isn't
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: that right? Yeah, if you make it to the World Series,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the first thing you should do is get this schedule
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and then count the number of games home versus away.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: If the number of games that are away is larger
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: than the number of games at home, then you must
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: make it a priority to win at least one road game.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: If you don't win one road game, then you will
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: not have one enough games to win the championship. Terrific
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: analysis that, Dony. What a way to break it down
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: for the audience so they could understand it. And you know, again,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: terrific thoughts there by Mr Ryan Howard. Thank you for that.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Now turning our attention to the NFL. Of course, the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Eagles were on a bye week. Uh so they maintain
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: their six and o status as the best team in football.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: But of course Cowboys fans, you know, they're getting all
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: gared away because they beat the Lions. Whatever. But you
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: know another angle hit Tony, that was seeing you know,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: people are bagging on Dak Prescott because he apparently chose
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: to come back against the Lions and and not a
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: better team you know later on. But what what I
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: don't understand here? Why are people criticizing for that? You know,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: this is the smart strategy by Dallas, Isn't that right? Don'ty? Yeah?
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Makes total sense. In fact, we don't want to help
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, but we suggest that they stick with this strategy.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Put Deck in for the easy games against the Lions
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: and other horrible teams, then rest the better and not
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: as old pull b Cooper Rush for the harder games
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: that Dak stands no chance of winning. Great point, Tony,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: And you know you always have to favor youth over experience.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: And you know Doc is extremely old and compared to
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Cooper Rush. You know, just you know, we we went
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: ahead with this, and we actually laid the QB plan
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: for the Cowboys moving forward. This is what they should do.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Bench Dak for the next four games against the Bears, Packers, Vikings,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: and Giants, but then have him come in for a
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: solid and simple three game stretch against the Colts, Texans
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and Jags before Cooper Rush takes the field against the Eagles.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: There you go, right, Tony, such terrific advice. I hope
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: they take it. And I also hope they don't, as
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: it will help them. That is totally a concerned Tony.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: But we have to turn our attention to other matters there.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Of course, I'm talking about Philly's World Series Yankees blowing it,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and here to discuss it all. I see our guests
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: coming on the line, so let's bring him on the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: FUSCO Satellite Network. Satellite Okay, our guest. He is a
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: former baseball player. I guess you could say of some
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: note whatever. He's out promoting his podcast he's got coming up.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be doing something about sports psychology. I can't
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: figure that out. What is that? I don't know. And
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: a terrible career move there. Anyway, all right, we all
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: know he was in nine, two thousand nine World Series
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: champion in quotes, you know, with the Yankees. But what
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: he's most known for, of course, is batting one through
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: that postseason and U and uh point oh eight three?
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Is that what you say? That point? But will you
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: just say eighty three in that case? Sorry, I've never
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: read a number that low in the A L. D S. Anyway,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: maybe he can shed some lights. He's obviously knows what
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: it's like to fail on the biggest stage as the
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Yankees just did. So let's bring him in you Nick
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Swish show, Welcome to the show. Welcome to the show.

• 10:20
  Speaker 1: you had everybody else step up. Now your boy shows. Yeah,
• 10:25

• 10:32
  Speaker 1: It's heaven. Rob Thompson ex Yankee, Kevin law credit you know, yeah, yeah,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: just jealous, typical pill. He's never wanted you. Yeah, but

• 10:47
  Speaker 1: is good. Hey, I'm trying to talk here. Learn how
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: to be a guest. Don't be on your sports psychology show.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: You can dam whatever you do, but listen, the Phillies
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: are the better managed organization that he had this huge payroll.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Where does it de belly? Nowhere except the ride home
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: from Houston. E Phillies managed themselves, right. Don't you think
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: the Yankees are the poorly managed organization? Just an embarrassment
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: to the MLB? Come up quite the opposite seven nationales.

  Speaker 1: I'm just a moment, you know, And I really do
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: need to talk about the money mismanagement by the Yankees,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: because they paid you thirty one million dollars and that
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: was over four years. We broke that down. It came
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: to about a million dollars per hit. Do you feel

  Speaker 1: Schmidt made nine million dollars a year between two totally underpaid?
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: What a shame? Nine million dollars in two is the
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: equivalent of twenty eight million dollars today. You have to
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: adjust the numbers for inflation. No, what we need to
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: do is adjust the numbers in your salary. Yeah, we
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: have to adjust your microphone to zero. Yeah, yeah, no more,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: what what go? Nope? A second? What said nine million
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: dollars would get you forty? Sir Anthony Dominguez is it's
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: a shame underpaid? Criminally? No, no, no, no, At his
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: salary of seven twenty five thousand, it would get you
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: twelve point four. Just to be clear, that's a pretty
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: big difference. Oh yeah, well there's a pretty big difference
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: between when it's silent and you're talking. Yeah, And just
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: to be clear, I hate this sound of your voice.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I can't disagree with that. All right, that's enough that
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: what you said, Doak is old compared to Cooper Rush,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: washed up dinosaur that is only four months older than
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Cooper Rush. They're basically the same age, that is nine,
• 16:18
