  Speaker 1: The following content does not reflect the opinions of Fox
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Frankly, it shouldn't reflect your opinions either. What
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: do you do with the music?
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Kinds if we told you you don't come in with
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: upbeat music when the show's starting on a down though,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: the foolish producer.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, you never said anything.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I wish you never said anything.
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: Shut up.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Anyway, let's just get into the show.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Paulie Fosco here with Tony Folliscow live from Philly, number
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: one rated show.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: YadA, YadA, YadA.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Anyway, we're going to address clear up all the lies
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: and misinformation from the Eagles so called loss to the Box,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: and we'll also address the fallout from the much more
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: embarrassing Cowboys lofe more embarrassings. Yeah, just two quick show notes.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Don't forget, you know, vote for the show in the
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: sports pod game.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Vote you know which. We just found out a run
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: by a bunch of British people.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: No wonder they put a show in the comedy category, Tony,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: they don't understand it.
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well I didn't understand. The British version of the
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: Office so much less funny than the American version. Go
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: eat your tea and trumpets and leave us alone.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, one other show.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Note, this show is now on the radio on ten
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: ninety ESPN Radio Los Angeles, ninety eight to five, the
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: BET in Vegas and well some stations in Hawaii.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: But you know this just pros Tony.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: What's going on these radio stations bringing on our show
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: just to boost their sagging ratings?
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Of course, what else is in that note?
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: You know we're seeing something that is just so despicable
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: in our business, aren't we, Tony? You know, two on
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: air personalities picking fights with each other in what seems
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: to be a sad, desperate attempt to get attention in ratings.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Steven A. Smith and Jason Whitlock. Now, you know that's.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Something that, as you know, you know, we would never
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: do because ratings are huge, alright, you know we don't
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: need to do this so huge As a journalists, we
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: feel it's it's a tony you know, when a major
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: story like this breaks recovery into this public feud between
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: these two very big voices in our industry, and you
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: know I mean big in terms of loudness, not importance. No,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: of course, Yeah, well, we were going to bring both
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: of them on the show, you know, to let them
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: each explain their side of this story. But the show
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: is only twenty three to twenty four minutes max. So
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: you know that would take about five days minutes at
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: the rate they talk. And you know, some people did
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: say to us, don't bring Jason Whitlock on the show.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: It's the last thing anyone needs.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: So, you know, we decided to find someone who could
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: explain Jason's side of the story and you know, possibly
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: defend him. But since there is apparently nobody on the
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: planet willing to do that, we've decided to just go ahead.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: And bring Jason Whitlock on the show. Yeah, it was
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: our only option.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but on the subject of options, let's talk about
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: options in eyewear and a message from our good friends
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: at warby Parker.

• 3:06
  Speaker 5: Marie's boyfriend Nunzio, and he said my aunt Marie was
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: having trouble seeing straight, and I said, because she needs glasses,
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: and he said no, because of the hard pounding.
• 3:17

• 3:46
  Speaker 2: to do one of the segments we haven't done in
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: a while, Tony, but it's one of our Oh.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Where Polly and Tony were right.
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: Where Pauli and Tony were right, all right, First out
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: the gate, the Eagles loose to the Bucks and Tampa.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: You know, just as we predicted we're going in right,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: this looks bad.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: All that warm, beautiful weather sets up very poorly for
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: a Northeast damon. You know, we put out a clip
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: after the game that went totally virals of course, what
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: we call bonus content.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: So when you think about it, all our content, everything
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: is bonus.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: But you know, Tony, people were criticizing the Eagles in
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: their poor tackling, but you gave such good insight, why
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: don't you just remind the people?
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: As I said, it's totally obvious why the Eagles were
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: so very bad at tackling to words sun tan lotion.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: Our sources told us, since they were playing in Florida,
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: they were absolutely lathered and SPF fifty to protect themselves
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: from the harmful UV rays from the sun coupled with
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: ninety two percent humidity that made it impossible to grab anybody. Frankly,
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: instead of criticizing the Eagles, we should be commending them
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: for putting their.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Skin out first.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: After all, there's nothing more important than play a safety.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Such sobering analysis that Tony.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Where Pauli and Tony were right another angle on this game.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: You know we've been saying this for years.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: We all know that nothing that happens in Florida makes
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: any sense totally.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: What happens is the reverse? What should happen?
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, the eleven win Eagles gos to the nine win.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Bucks makes no sense. You know, you got the.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Legendary coach Doug Peterson goes to Jacksonville and suddenly sucks.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: How's that even possible?
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Forty five year old, decrepit, elderly Tom Brady wins a
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl with the Bucks defies logic. The greatest college
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: quarterback of all time is Tim Tebow.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Mind boggling.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: You know, most of the fans at Tampa Bay Rays
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: games are Yankee.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Fans, just bizarre.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: The best pro teams in a state with ninety degree
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: who other ice hockey teams?
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I don't even have the words.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: And you know, frankly, I think that if a game
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: is played in Florida, the outcome should be immediately reversed.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: So the Eagles right now should be moving on to
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: the divisional round.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Absolutely on point analysis Tony, where Pauli and Tony were right.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: You know another thing, you all this finger pointing at
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: the Eagles. People are blaming Nick Sirianni. Well what about
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Nick Saban. He's overrated and now look at how terrible
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: his quarterbacks are playing in the NFL. Jalen Hurts, sucks
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: through a sucks more Bryce young Catpish. You know, in fact,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: our sources tell us that Nick Saban retired because he
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: was so embarrassed by his failure to properly prepare his
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks for the NFL.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: I hope he's saving all his money because he's not
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: gonna make any anymore.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Paully and DONI were right.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: You know another thing, people are saying this Eagle season
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: is a failure, but that's because they're not seeing the
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: big picture.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: We all know in the NFL what matters most. It's
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: not Super Bowls.
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: No, it's the vision, rid vision rivalries that right, Dony,
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: one hundred percent. The Eagles can hang their heads high
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: because they got farther in the season than the Cowboys.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: The Cowboys were long gone out of the playoffs while
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: the Eagles were still alive for a good twenty one
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: twenty two hours more.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: That's what matters most. The Eagles were the last.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: NFC East team standing and it wasn't even close.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Just such undebatable perspective that, Dony.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if Paully and DONI were right.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: You know, talking about the Cowboys last week, we received
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: a lot of blowback when we pointed out that Jordan
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Love beat Dak Prescott in the most important QB stat
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: of all. And of course we're talking about intended air yard, which,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: for you unaware fools out there is an advanced metric
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: which measures who at V either the past was complete
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: or incomplete. And you know, people said to us, all, well,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: that doesn't matter. But Tony, they were proven wrong, weren't they.
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: The only stat that matters is intended air yards. How
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: can you do anything if you don't intend to do
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: it first. In fact, the more a person intends to do,
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: the better. Don't you want a QB who intends to
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: throw for ten thousand yards?
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Of course?
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't want to get political here, but
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: I don't choose the presidential candidate based on what they've done.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: I choose based on how much they say they're gonna do.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: If they don't promise to fix every single problem plaguing
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: our country, they're not getting my vote.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: End of story.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Insightful sports and political analysis.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: That Tony, where PAULI and Doni you were right.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Well, it's time to put on our journalism gaps because
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I see our guests coming on the line, So let's
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: bring them on the FUSCO Satellite.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Network fus satellite in the world.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: All right, this guy, all right, let's bring people up
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: to speed on what's going on with them by you know,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: people who have better things to do than waste that
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: time on this story. You know, as we set up top,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: there are currently two on air talent in our business
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: picking fights with each other and what seems like an
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: effort to boost their views and audience, which you know,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: is something we don't have to do. We have such
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: a robust viewing and listening audience as is, you know,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: in the tens of millions. But as journalists it's our
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: duty to dig into this major, kind of major story
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: to get the truth.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Originally we wanted to bring on someone who could explain
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: and possibly defend the behavior of Jason Whitlock, but we
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: couldn't find anyone who could do that, so instead, all
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: right here he is host of feelss on Blaze Media.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: Jason w luck good to be here with you guys,
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: thanks for having me.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, there's a lot of fun attack here,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: as they say, Jas Stephen, he came out with a
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: book about himself and then you went and claimed he
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: made up a bunch of stuff and it's specifically about
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: his high school basketball career, which I guess you'll think
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: is important or whatnot. Then he publicly attacked you, and
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: we apologize to our radio audience here, but we must
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: quote Stephen a directly for you do it accurately. He said,
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: you are a quote fat bastard and the bitch, and
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: they quote fat working piece of shit end quote a
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: roach of an individual, and the devil and the worst
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: human being you'll ever meet. And I'm paraphrasing here, but
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: the worst, most garbage embarrassment to the human race and
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: again the gigantic fat. Okay, so that leads to our
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: first question, Jason, how do you respond to these hurtful
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: but somewhat accurate allegations?
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Hurtful, they're definitely not accurate.
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: I thought steven A tapped into his feminine emotional energy
• 11:09
  Speaker 8: and talking about if you see Jason Whitlock, wrap your
• 11:13
  Speaker 8: arms around your soul, He'll snatch your soul.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: He sounded like a little woman.
• 11:20
  Speaker 8: He sounded like an actor, and he's a bit not
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: a bit he comes across if you watch a bunch
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: of his interviews and you read his book, he sounds
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: like a pathological liar.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: He stresses the truth about everything.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Now, yeah, what do you say he's lying about?
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Give us an example here for people who really don't
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: care about this at all.
• 11:39
  Speaker 8: Well, what I think he's perhaps exaggerating or misleading people.
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: I don't think he earned a basketball scholarship at Winston
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: Salem State University.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: I don't believe it. I don't buy it.
• 11:50
  Speaker 8: He says he did it in a one day tryout
• 11:52
  Speaker 8: in February of nineteen eighty eight. I believe the guy
• 11:57
  Speaker 8: never he was on his high school basketball team for
• 12:01
  Speaker 8: a month or two.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: He never was any type of player.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: But then my question is why do you care? And
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: why should anyone care? I'm having trouble caring.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: People should care because he's at the top of the
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: sports media.
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: He's the face of ESPN, and he's a guy that
• 12:18
  Speaker 8: stretches the truth constantly.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Jason, Yeah, hold on, you know you
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: you claim to have a college football career. Yeah, but
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: it appears nobody has any memory of that happening except
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: for you.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Isn't that a little strange?
• 12:36
  Speaker 8: Uh No, Because there's film, there's picture.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. I looked it up, Bro, couldn't
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: find it anywhere.
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: You ain't look very hard. If you couldn't find it,
• 12:47
  Speaker 8: it's everywhere. Punch my name into Google and go to
• 12:50
  Speaker 8: images and you can see the little chubby face twenty
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: year old Jason Whitlock in a ball State uniform.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Hold on, let me just do that.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Hold on, one moment Jason wit Chubby ball State uniform? Yeah, Unformuh,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: not seeing anything. I do see something about going balls
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: deep on a greeting card. It looks like but I
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: don't even know how that's related to this.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, what are you looking at? Anyway?
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: I played with Bernie Parmally, he played.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: All Right the Great and Bernie Parmally.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: Of course, I played against Joel Sminghy along.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Who's next, Bob? I've never heard of you?
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: What Dick?
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Nobody remembers you? Was that someone you played with?
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: Joe?
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 13:37
  Speaker 8: Have you ever heard of the number one draft pick
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: in the NFL in nineteen ninety I think his name
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: was Jeff George. We were high school teammates and friends.
• 13:45
  Speaker 8: My football history is doctor.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Too.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: Jeff George. He didn't go to Ball State. Didn't he
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: go to Illinois?
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah? He did, But we played high school football together.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: We grew up together. He can bounched for me.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Well, we invited a bunch of people on this show,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: and they altered.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: We should have invited Jeff George. Yeah, I know it.
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: Would have been better right now if it was Jeff
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: Jeye Street and gave you all the truth.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: You should have invited Jeff.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, but it is what I want to know. You know,
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: you're taking shots at steven A. He's got this book.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: It's a bestseller. It has seventeen hundred and sixty two reviews. Meanwhile,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: we looked up your last book. It's got seven reviews
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: and currently ranks four million, two hundred and twenty eight,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: nine hundred and forty four and all of books on Amazon.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: I don't really have a question here. I just wanted
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: to see. Aren't you jealous? Is that what's going on?
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: I'm not jealous.
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: And if you're talking about my collection of columns book
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: that came out in two thousand or two thousand and
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: five or whatever, I can't even remember, that's not.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Oh see, not accurate with dates.
• 14:51
  Speaker 8: It came out twenty years ago or twenty five years
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: Oh oh.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: But you'll you'll attack steven A for his high school basketball.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: He's half a half an assist.
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: How you averaged one and a half points in one game?
• 15:05
  Speaker 8: Can either one of y'all do that?
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Hold on, you know, did you consider that maybe they
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: got some like eighth grader Sam run to score the
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: games and he didn't know mass.
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: This is college I'm talking about. This is college where
• 15:18
  Speaker 8: he averaged one.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Let's just not get into this because everybody's bored with
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: this part of the story.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Jason.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: All right, yeah, I have a question for you, Jason,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: about your career. Right.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised that you're attacking someone in sports because I
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: thought you were out of the sports business.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Hey, you're in the politicsiness.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Shouldn't you be attacking you know that woman on NBC
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: with the glasses whatever her name.
• 15:41
  Speaker 8: Is, Rachel Matter or no, listen, Uh have you not
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: been paying attention?
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: I've never left the sports world. Who's spent all college
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: football season telling you exactly what was gonna happen with Dion.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: I don't consume your content, just like most of America, Jason.
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: So please, everybody knows I was the only guy standing
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: out there telling you Deon Sanders is going to be
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: a flop, that their four and old start was meaningless.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: Team.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: We didn't bring you on here to talk about any
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: of this. Please, our ratings are going down. We need
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: to focus on the topic. All right, hold on, let's
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: get to this. Dan levittond on his show, he said,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: there are people out there that if they saw you
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: in the street, they would run up and punch you.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: So that leads to a two pot question, who are
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: these people? And two do you think they'd be potentially
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: interested in a pay per view cage match with you
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: that we could arrange, you know, just for journalistic purposes.
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: I think you're talking about Mike Ryan. And one of
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: Little Dan's sidekick Minions says, he beat me up, and
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: he sounds us like another Stephen A Smith, a guy
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: talking tall trash. Look, man, I'm fifty six years old.
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: I'm not fighting anybody.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: I live in a.
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: State you got a right to carry, Dan, and these
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: guys live in a state in Florida where you got
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: a right to carry. They make guns for old people
• 17:09
  Speaker 8: like me, so we don't have to do any more fighting.
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: So basically, anyone comes up, you shooting everybody, just boom boom,
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: boom boom.
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: I'm just saying, you know, I live in a red
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: state for a reason.
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: What if someone's like, oh, can I have you autographed
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: boom boom boom boom boom.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: If someone attacks me? Yeah, that we still have a
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: right to defend ourselves in this country.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, oh so you know, and again this is just
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: for journalistic purposes. Are you saying that you would shoot
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: at Stephen A.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Smith if you saw him?
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't want this becoming like, you know,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: some kind of clickbait headline on your House Sports and
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Yard Baker. But it does sound like you were saying,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Jason Whitlock will shoot Stephen A. Smith announces it on
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: number one Fusco Show.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying?
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: What I said was I would flick Stephen A. Smith
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: on his forehead and he would fall over crime in
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: a fetal position. I could, I could, I would pip
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: slap Steve.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: You know, we find this very troubling.
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: This is like shades of West Coast versus East Coast beef.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know the big eie into the park. Yeah
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: you're a big eie obviously. Well what you know, are you?
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Do you want to repeat that kind of history?
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: I do not, But you know, these guys want to
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: bring smoke to me.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: This does seem like it's escalating into rap wars, except
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: just not as glamorous or as interesting.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not a rap war. On on my end,
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: I got nothing but love for any of these guys.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: I'm not looking for trouble from anybody. But guys want
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: to talk tough and bring it to me.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: How do you respond to the allegations that you are
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: doing this just for views?
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Like, actually, hold on before you answer that. Don't forget
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: you can get twenty percent off in the official FUSCO
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: show merch So January twenty fourth to the twenty Okay, Jason,
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: now go ahead and answer that question.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: I think they're truth for allegations. How about that? No,
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: I'm yes. Everything I do on my show, oh you
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: do about no viewers? There?
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: You do?
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: I tell the truth on my show because truth is
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: in such short supply, and so yeah, I'm exposing the
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: truth about Stephen A.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: Smith.
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: He's a plant. He's got a fictional background and narrative.
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: Kat Williams in his interview with Shannon Sharp was pointing
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: out these people and I just pointed you to one
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: in the sports media world. No different than Kevin Hart,
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: no different than what Kat Williams was all about.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Jason.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Jason, I gotta say, I'm very I'm very concerned about
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: what you're doing here.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: You know, we're concerned here.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: You know, as Stephen A said while he was calling
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: you a fat bastard, you know we're all part of
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: the sports media community, and it's important that we all

• 19:56
  Speaker 1: We're a family. So we're gonna do one last thing here.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: We want you to look in the camera.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: You know, there are a lot of people in this
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: business who look up the sports journalists. They don't look
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: up to you mostly, but they look up the sports journalists,
• 20:08
