- 0:28Speaker 1: very disturbing headlines involving Bill Belichick and the forty nine ers.
- 0:33Speaker 1: A terrible Olympic decision we must discuss, But the biggest
- 0:37Speaker 1: story team USA men's basketball absolutely disgracing this country, almost
- 0:43Speaker 1: losing the Germany and South Sudan. Don't you know. I
- 0:47Speaker 1: don't want to get political, but this is America under Biden.
- 0:52Speaker 1: Just had to be said, had to be said, you know,
- 0:55Speaker 1: and to discuss this international crisis will be joined by
- 0:58Speaker 1: an international play who can actually maybe give us some
- 1:01Speaker 1: valuable insight here, don'ty see? You know, before Joel and Giannis,
- 1:06Speaker 1: there was this man, fifteen year NBA VET big Man
- 1:09Speaker 1: Olden Polonies, and you know we're gonna ask him about
- 1:12Speaker 1: his son though, who played against Brownie James.
- 1:15Speaker 3: Yeah, and who is strangely not named youngin Polonies seem
- 1:20Speaker 3: like a missed opportunity.
- 1:21Speaker 1: There, Yes, missed opportunity. We'll ask him about that due anyway,
- 1:25Speaker 1: talk about missed opportunities, don'ty. You know, the show only
- 1:27Speaker 1: got five more reviews on Apple podcast last week. You know, people,
- 1:32Speaker 1: this is why countries like South Sudan are catching up
- 1:35Speaker 1: to us. It's pure laziness by you people. Yeah.
- 1:39Speaker 3: And I bet in Germany they forced their people to
- 1:42Speaker 3: leave podcast reviews.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Yep. I guess that's what we're gonna have to do. Yeah,
- 1:45Speaker 1: that's what's coming for your people, lady. Alright, let's just
- 1:48Speaker 1: move on and get right into our top story a story,
- 1:54Speaker 1: all right. First out the gate seen yousa men's basketball disgrace,
- 1:58Speaker 1: Thull stunning near losses, almost getting beat by Germany, and
- 2:02Speaker 1: then winning by only one Measley point against South Sudan,
- 2:07Speaker 1: even though they came in favored by forty one and
- 2:10Speaker 1: a half points. Tony, you know, to be fair.
- 2:13Speaker 3: Before the game, I said, keep a close eye on
- 2:16Speaker 3: South Sudan. I had that game circled on the calendar,
- 2:20Speaker 3: and I said, this is gonna be more like a
- 2:23Speaker 3: two point game here.
- 2:24Speaker 1: So you know, I was off by one, yeah, just
- 2:28Speaker 1: by one. And you know, people they're wondering, well, how
- 2:31Speaker 1: could a team like South Sudan compete against the USA. Well,
- 2:35Speaker 1: it became very clear what the difference was done during
- 2:38Speaker 1: the game. South Sudan was clearly the hungry a team.
- 2:41Speaker 1: Isn't that right? One hundred percent?
- 2:44Speaker 3: You could see that hunger during the game and that
- 2:47Speaker 3: thirst for victory, which you know makes you wonder if
- 2:50Speaker 3: it's better when athletes are literally hungry and thirsty for
- 2:54Speaker 3: a title.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Great point, Tony. I mean, you look at these tampaed
- 2:58Speaker 1: NBA stars with around nutritionists and their power bars and
- 3:02Speaker 1: their clean water, you know, exactly clearly making them soft.
- 3:05Speaker 1: They got no motivation. But you know, maybe if you
- 3:08Speaker 1: take away their food and the water, then you know
- 3:10Speaker 1: they have motivation exactly. It's so true.
- 3:13Speaker 3: You know, this just shows that you can't trust the science.
- 3:17Speaker 3: All these doctors and trainers telling them to stay hydrated.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Where's the motivation.
- 3:23Speaker 3: In that we need to keep them dehydrated?
- 3:27Speaker 1: Great nutritional advice and analysis that, Dony. Anyway, let's just
- 3:31Speaker 1: move to our next topic. But just a very bizarre
- 3:33Speaker 1: story out of the NFL. A report from Pro Football
- 3:37Speaker 1: Talk says that forty nine Ers coach Kyle Shanahan offered
- 3:41Speaker 1: Bill Belichick a job to come work for the team
- 3:44Speaker 1: and do quote anything he wanted. Wow, And this is
- 3:49Speaker 1: just a terrible judgment called by Shanahan, isn't it, Dony terrible?
- 3:53Speaker 3: I mean, what's the one thing we know Bill Belichick
- 3:56Speaker 3: likes to do bang young cheerleaders, and wow, Kyle Shanahan
- 4:01Speaker 3: is saying he'd let this eighty year old perv do
- 4:04Speaker 3: quote anything he wanted.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Well, what about protecting women? Exactly? I mean, you know
- 4:10Speaker 1: what's going on with the forty nine ers? Who are
- 4:12Speaker 1: they gonna hire as their next defensive coordinator Harvey Weinstein?
- 4:16Speaker 1: I mean it's just says you know, it just saying
- 4:18Speaker 1: exactly yeah. Area. And you know, another terrible thing while
- 4:21Speaker 1: we're on this, out of the NFL more teams announcing
- 4:24Speaker 1: these stupid throwback uniforms. You know, the Bucks they said
- 4:28Speaker 1: in week eight they're gonna be wearing their creamsicle uniforms,
- 4:32Speaker 1: and Tony You know, I just find this whole trend
- 4:35Speaker 1: so confusing and frankly terrible for ratings. I mean, you know,
- 4:38Speaker 1: like most people, when I tuned into a game and
- 4:41Speaker 1: I see these uniforms, I think, wait, are they showing
- 4:44Speaker 1: an old game? Is there some sort of like rain
- 4:46Speaker 1: delay or something. Don't we you all the time?
- 4:49Speaker 3: You know, last year I tuned into a Bucks Lions
- 4:53Speaker 3: game and they were wearing those uniforms, and I was like,
- 4:56Speaker 3: why are they showing a game from nineteen seventy nine?
- 5:00Speaker 1: The Bucks were terrible that year, so I turned it off. Yeah,
- 5:03Speaker 1: me too, Yes, a terrible dumb decision. Stupid. Oh well,
- 5:07Speaker 1: talking about dumb decisions, Tony, this one out of the Olympics.
- 5:11Speaker 1: British horse rider Charlotte dude Harden Dujardin. Anyway, she's been
- 5:16Speaker 1: banned from competing in the Olympics because she was caught
- 5:19Speaker 1: on camera repeatedly whipping a horse. And we'll talk about confusing, Tony.
- 5:24Speaker 1: I don't get this at all. I mean I thought
- 5:26Speaker 1: the whole idea behind you know, these horse events was
- 5:29Speaker 1: that the more you hit the horse, well, the better
- 5:32Speaker 1: you do. Yeah, what was this woman supposed to do?
- 5:36Speaker 1: Ask the horse to go faster?
- 5:38Speaker 3: Horses don't understand English, but they do understand frantic whipping.
- 5:43Speaker 1: You know, this just shows you, Tony, how soft the
- 5:45Speaker 1: whole world has become. Yeah, you can't even violently abuse
- 5:48Speaker 1: a horse anymore without someone bitching and mona.
- 5:51Speaker 3: Yeah, has anyone thought about the horse's point of view?
- 5:54Speaker 3: How do you think that poor horse feels now knowing
- 5:56Speaker 3: he can no longer compete for a gold medal? Aren't
- 5:59Speaker 3: you hurting the horses feelings?
- 6:02Speaker 1: Now? Did you people ever bother to consider that? Terrifically
- 6:07Speaker 1: said Tony, just a terrible state of affairs, but terrible. Dang.

- 8:23Speaker 3: You were rude, Okay, you know you didn't see things
- 8:27Speaker 3: were trying to the right way.
- 8:30Speaker 4: First of all, you should have known I wasn't going
- 8:32Speaker 4: to agree, especially with that Eagles jersey on.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Oh who do you root for? Yeah? The Giants, Like
- 8:39Speaker 1: we're supposed to know that. So what though we didn't
- 8:42Speaker 1: bring you on into talk NFL Olympic basketball. You know,
- 8:46Speaker 1: maybe you shouldn't be producing sports talk to stay as
- 8:48Speaker 1: a guest. But okay, we're gonna go into basketball. Okay, Old, we.
- 8:52Speaker 4: Can talk about we can talk about curling if you
- 8:55Speaker 4: want to.
- 8:56Speaker 1: We don't want we don't want to lose our audience,
- 8:59Speaker 1: say topic. Yeah, okay, all right now you mentioned your
- 9:03Speaker 1: my apologies. Okay, right, you mentioned you're a Giants fan.
- 9:06Speaker 1: We understand why, you know, because I said, here I
- 9:09Speaker 1: see her in your bio it says you were born
- 9:11Speaker 1: in Haiti, but then you grew up in the Bronx.
- 9:15Speaker 2: Well, so tell us I grew up in Harlem. Okay, okay,
- 9:20Speaker 2: I went I went to school in the Bronx.
- 9:23Speaker 1: So tell us between Haiti and Harlem, which was worse?
- 9:30Speaker 2: Oh my god.
- 9:32Speaker 4: Uh, I'm gonna say Haiti was a little bit worse
- 9:36Speaker 4: than Halem. Oh okay, and had I actually had indoor
- 9:39Speaker 4: plumbing and Harlem.
- 9:41Speaker 1: Oh I see, Okay, that is a big plus. That's
- 9:43Speaker 1: a big plus. We bring this up for a reason.
- 9:46Speaker 1: That's as you know, you saw it old and just
- 9:49Speaker 1: a truly stunning outcome in men's basketball Team USA almost
- 9:52Speaker 1: losing to South Sudan. Now when you look at this
- 9:56Speaker 1: break it down, do you think the South Sudan team
- 9:59Speaker 1: was so good because you know, they were literally the
- 10:01Speaker 1: hungry A team. Oh my god, they were the hungry
- 10:10Speaker 1: at team.
- 10:10Speaker 2: You know, they were the more determined team.
- 10:13Speaker 4: They wanted to win more, but unfortunately they didn't and
- 10:17Speaker 4: that was because of a bad note call by the referees.
- 10:20Speaker 3: But you know, Team USA wasn't great either, So you know,
- 10:24Speaker 3: do you think the problem for Team USA is that
- 10:26Speaker 3: all these soft modern athletes with their nutritionists and their
- 10:31Speaker 3: protein bars, Maybe less nutrition would be the way to go,
- 10:35Speaker 3: because then they could be hungrier to win, to win yeah.
- 10:42Speaker 4: Okay, I don't know about all that, but I just
- 10:45Speaker 4: feel that personally, I feel that there's not much that
- 10:49Speaker 4: these guys are playing for. You know, the other countries,
- 10:53Speaker 4: they are playing for team pride, country pride.
- 10:56Speaker 2: And for everything else.
- 10:57Speaker 4: And I don't believe that our athletes are playing for
- 11:00Speaker 4: the USA. I believe they're playing more for the endorsements
- 11:04Speaker 4: and shoe deals and everything else.
- 11:06Speaker 1: Right, and the Chinese and the Chinese they go Olden
- 11:10Speaker 1: typically said, but you do know something about this, because
- 11:14Speaker 1: we looked this up. It said on your Wikipedia you
- 11:17Speaker 1: did a hunger strike in nineteen ninety three to protest
- 11:20Speaker 1: something or other. But the point of the protest is
- 11:22Speaker 1: beside the point. The stats show that you had your
- 11:26Speaker 1: best statistical year in the nineteen ninety three ninety four season.
- 11:30Speaker 1: Do you think that starving yourself like that led the
- 11:33Speaker 1: better output on the court? You know, you had that hunger,
- 11:36Speaker 1: had that hunger.
- 11:43Speaker 4: I can't Oh my god, Yes that's what it was.
- 11:47Speaker 2: No, that's not it. Okay, Oh oh okay.
- 11:52Speaker 4: I was getting minutes, and you know I just played
- 11:56Speaker 4: a really solid season.
- 11:58Speaker 1: Also, it's on the corner in the cafeteria. Where were
- 12:02Speaker 1: you getting the minute?
- 12:03Speaker 2: On the court. I was getting minutes.
- 12:04Speaker 4: I had a good sidekick and Bill Lambiert, so it
- 12:08Speaker 4: allowed me the freedom to do more.
- 12:11Speaker 2: You know, I didn't have to play center all the time.
- 12:14Speaker 2: That's all it was.
- 12:15Speaker 3: So what you're saying is that you were hungry for
- 12:19Speaker 3: this new opportunity.
- 12:22Speaker 2: Yeah, but not for food. I was just hungry for rebounds.
- 12:25Speaker 1: Do you think that your career went downhill though? After
- 12:28Speaker 1: that when you started eating?
- 12:35Speaker 2: I can't with you guys.
- 12:38Speaker 1: Asking a serious question.
- 12:40Speaker 4: Yeah, hey man, let me tell y'all something. Man, this
- 12:44Speaker 4: show is very interesting.
- 12:46Speaker 1: All right, thank you.
- 12:48Speaker 2: Number One, I eat before games. I'm well fed.
- 12:53Speaker 4: My determination was the reason I got my rebounds and
- 12:57Speaker 4: scored the points.
- 12:58Speaker 2: Had nothing to do with anything else.
- 13:01Speaker 4: Okay, when I went under hunger strike, I did that
- 13:05Speaker 4: to protest the US policies. But I was you know,
- 13:08Speaker 4: I went ten days with I eating and it was ross.
- 13:12Speaker 2: You know. And still try to play back.
- 13:14Speaker 1: Except on the scoreboard, great on the score great in
- 13:16Speaker 1: the statue alone.
- 13:18Speaker 2: Eating thing i've eaten.
- 13:19Speaker 1: Okay, all right, you know.
- 13:22Speaker 2: But old there's food.
- 13:25Speaker 1: Leads to another question, Because you're such a great role
- 13:27Speaker 1: model for us. Okay, yeah, you know you have a sudden.
- 13:31Speaker 1: You have a son who plays ball at Lost Beach State, right,
- 13:35Speaker 1: Chase Polonies. Now, first question, why didn't you name your
- 13:39Speaker 1: son young Polonies? It just seems like a total misopportunity
- 13:44Speaker 1: and young.
- 13:45Speaker 4: Yeah, that's horrible. Oh, because I would never do that
- 13:51Speaker 4: to my child.
- 13:52Speaker 1: Oh well, who did it to? Who called you Olden?
- 13:54Speaker 1: I mean, what were they? What was going on there?
- 13:56Speaker 2: Great name?
- 13:58Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 13:58Speaker 2: Okay, so y'all need to stop.
- 14:00Speaker 4: See now now you being disrespectful to my parents name.
- 14:07Speaker 1: It was a great name.
- 14:09Speaker 4: If you did your research, you would know where my
- 14:13Speaker 4: name came from. Okay, there's a slight change in my name,
- 14:16Speaker 4: kind of like a chem olaja want used to be
- 14:18Speaker 4: a k E E M. And then he went back
- 14:20Speaker 4: to the original with the age. I was the same way.
- 14:23Speaker 4: I just never went back to the original age. So
- 14:28Speaker 4: I was holding. I was named after William Holding, the
- 14:30Speaker 4: actor that was my grandfather's favorite act.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Wow from The Godfather. Hit that breaking news? But wow here.
- 14:40Speaker 4: First, William William Holden was never in The Godfather.
- 14:44Speaker 1: Wait a minute, William Holding the drunk actor. We're sending
- 14:47Speaker 1: this to the polets her.
- 14:49Speaker 4: You do not pronounce hs so in my ear I'm
- 14:52Speaker 4: hearing all then all, then hearing the age. So I
- 14:57Speaker 4: just started writing my name with an O.
- 15:01Speaker 3: Wow.
- 15:02Speaker 4: Yeah, see you learned something today. Congratulations.
- 15:07Speaker 1: Well why did you name your son Chase? You're a
- 15:09Speaker 1: fan of the bank or something. You see there you go.
- 15:15Speaker 1: But you you you've been a defender of Bronnie James, right,
- 15:18Speaker 1: and you know you tweeted something the other day. You tweeted, Uh.
- 15:21Speaker 1: It baffles me that people have issues with Bronnie James.
- 15:26Speaker 1: The young man has a dream to play in the
- 15:28Speaker 1: NBA like his father. He worked his ass off to
- 15:31Speaker 1: become a legit prospect. Yet folks have an issue. Grow
- 15:35Speaker 1: up people, now, I don't think you understand olden.
- 15:38Speaker 2: Ye.
- 15:39Speaker 1: See you said he plays like he wants to play
- 15:41Speaker 1: in the NBA like his father. He doesn't play like
- 15:44Speaker 1: his father. He plays much worse than his father. Yeah,
- 15:46Speaker 1: he stinks father than his father. He's like his father,
- 15:54Speaker 1: his father.
- 15:54Speaker 2: He's not good enough to be lebron lebron.

- 16:00Speaker 1: his father. Said it. Those are your words.
- 16:04Speaker 2: Oh my god, I don't mean exactly like his father.
