Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Kill the music. Kill the music. What are you doing?
- 0:04Speaker 1: What are you doing? How many times have we had
- 0:06Speaker 1: to tell you? You don't play upbeat music when you're
- 0:09Speaker 1: coming in on a down note. This entire city is
- 0:12Speaker 1: down right now and you're playing upbeat music. What are
- 0:15Speaker 1: you doing?
- 0:16Speaker 2: When we say no intro, that means we don't want
- 0:19Speaker 2: an intro.
- 0:20Speaker 1: And if you're having trouble remembering that, just think we
- 0:23Speaker 1: don't want an intro is what every woman in the
- 0:25Speaker 1: world says when they see you on a dating app.
- 0:28Speaker 3: Yeah. I honestly have no memory of you telling me that.
- 0:34Speaker 3: And also you're the one ruining the intro of the show.
- 0:38Speaker 1: No memory of telling us that. Well, I think you've
- 0:41Speaker 1: already perjured yourself. Okay. Yeah.
- 0:43Speaker 2: You know, you may think you're the hero on this show,
- 0:47Speaker 2: but let me tell you something. You're the villain. You've
- 0:50Speaker 2: done so much damage to this show. You will go
- 0:53Speaker 2: down as a total dirt bag.
- 0:56Speaker 1: Yup.
- 0:58Speaker 3: Uh, Are you just quoting Senator Eric Schmidt from that
- 1:02Speaker 3: Jack Smith hearing?
- 1:05Speaker 1: No, no. Now that you're bringing politics into it, allow
- 1:09Speaker 1: me to say that man is a hero. Yeah, he's
- 1:12Speaker 1: a true patriot. Yeah, unlike you. In fact, we'll address
- 1:17Speaker 1: that whole so-called controversy later in the show and tell
- 1:20Speaker 1: you why Senator Schmidt was 100% right about everything. But look,
- 1:23Speaker 1: we got so much more important stuff to get to. First, people,
- 1:26Speaker 1: these morons, and the entire lying media out there, well,
- 1:29Speaker 1: they continue to claim that the Eagles suffered a, quote,
- 1:33Speaker 1: blowout loss Monday night to the Bears because the final
- 1:36Speaker 1: score was 27-7. But as we've repeatedly told you, the
- 1:40Speaker 1: last thing you should do is look at the final score.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Of course. That doesn't tell you what actually happened in
- 1:46Speaker 1: the game. No. And we're going to clear it up.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Please.
- 1:48Speaker 1: And also tell you why the Giants didn't pick a
- 1:51Speaker 1: terrible QB in J.J. McCarthy, as everybody's saying. They traded
- 1:54Speaker 1: for a great one. Clear that up, though. But first, remember,
- 1:58Speaker 1: you like, you subscribe, you hype the video on YouTube.
- 2:01Speaker 1: Three times. You follow the show on TikTok and IG.
- 2:04Speaker 1: You rate and review on Apple Podcasts. Anything I'm forgetting, Tony?
- 2:08Speaker 2: No, it's just 11 to 12 simple things. I can
- 2:11Speaker 2: count it on one hand. If you can't do that,
- 2:14Speaker 2: then clearly you have a non-working brain like our producer.
- 2:18Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. You do that. Anyway, right now, we're going
- 2:21Speaker 1: to get right into our top story.
- 2:22Speaker 3: Top.
- 2:26Speaker 1: First out the gate, the lying media continuing to claim
- 2:29Speaker 1: that the Eagles lost to the Bears Monday night because
- 2:31Speaker 1: the final score was 27-7. And they're saying it was
- 2:35Speaker 1: even worse because the Bears started 40-year-old Case Keatum in
- 2:38Speaker 1: place of the injured Caleb Williams. But that just shows
- 2:42Speaker 1: how little these fools know about football. Isn't that right, Don?
- 2:45Speaker 1: Of course.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Hasn't anybody bothered to consider that the Eagles let the
- 2:50Speaker 2: Bears score all those points so that they can trick
- 2:53Speaker 2: them into thinking that Case Keenum isn't the crappy quarterback
- 2:57Speaker 2: that he really is? To me, it was clear that
- 3:01Speaker 2: the Eagles are playing 5D checkers. This was so smart
- 3:06Speaker 2: by Nick Sirianni. He's now created a QB controversy in Chicago.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Just watch.
- 3:13Speaker 2: They're going to probably bench Caleb Williams for Case Keenum.
- 3:17Speaker 2: And now, instead of going 12-6, the Bears are going
- 3:21Speaker 2: to go 3-13 and miss the playoffs entirely. Just so
- 3:25Speaker 2: smart by the Eagles to pretend to be the completely
- 3:29Speaker 2: inferior team.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Couldn't have said it better myself, Tony. And another thing
- 3:33Speaker 1: people get wrong about this game, you know, people say
- 3:35Speaker 1: it was a bad look for the Eagles and great
- 3:38Speaker 1: for the Bears. I think it was clearly the other
- 3:41Speaker 1: way around. I mean, what was the best moment of
- 3:43Speaker 1: the game? The Andy Dalton interception, of course.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Andy Dalton could have gone in there and scored a
- 3:51Speaker 2: touchdown and made Jalen Hurts look bad.
- 3:54Speaker 1: But did he do that? No, because he's a real teammate.
- 3:59Speaker 2: And in a touching, selfless display of support for Jalen Hurts,
- 4:03Speaker 2: Andy Dalton threw an absolutely garbage, horrific interception.
- 4:08Speaker 1: Clearly to remind.
- 4:10Speaker 2: Everybody just how valuable Jalen Hurts really is.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Meanwhile, shame on Case Keenum.
- 4:17Speaker 2: He comes in for the Bears, throws all these accurate
- 4:21Speaker 2: passes and touchdowns, and gets a win? You might as
- 4:25Speaker 2: well spit in Caleb Williams' face. If you're the Bears,
- 4:29Speaker 2: you've got to be starting third stringer Tyson Bajent next
- 4:32Speaker 2: week and praying he throws a bunch of picks just
- 4:36Speaker 2: for the betterment of the team.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Terrific analysis, Tony. And, you know, people that they're crediting
- 4:43Speaker 1: the Bears defense for stopping the Eagles offense. What? What?
- 4:48Speaker 1: If you actually bothered to see what happened in the game,
- 4:51Speaker 1: you'd know it wasn't the Bears defense that stopped Jalen Hurts. No.
- 4:55Speaker 1: It was the Eagles medical staff. Isn't that right, Doug? 100%.
- 4:59Speaker 2: You know, the Eagles medical staff knew they couldn't let
- 5:02Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts go back into that game and risk further injury.
- 5:06Speaker 2: They knew the safest course of action was to let
- 5:10Speaker 2: Andy Dalton go into that game and hopefully suffer a
- 5:13Speaker 2: potential season-ending injury because then the Eagles could get a
- 5:17Speaker 2: backup who doesn't suck as much as Andy Dalton. Just
- 5:21Speaker 2: smart football and medical strategy.
- 5:25Speaker 1: So smart. And, you know, a lot of fans, they
- 5:27Speaker 1: were complaining because they said Jalen Hurts should have been
- 5:30Speaker 1: let back into the game earlier after he was sidelined.
- 5:34Speaker 1: But again, that's because these fools, they just don't understand
- 5:37Speaker 1: how football works and also how laws work. You know, absolutely.
- 5:41Speaker 2: You know, I don't want to get all political here.
- 5:44Speaker 2: But we have laws in this country that protect citizens
- 5:48Speaker 2: against unlawful detainment. Now, you may say, well, what about
- 5:53Speaker 2: the Patriot Act of 2001, which allows citizens to be
- 5:57Speaker 2: detained against their will? But that's because you're dumb and
- 6:01Speaker 2: don't know what that law is actually about.
- 6:05Speaker 1: People think that law is about 9-11 and the war
- 6:07Speaker 1: and all that. But that's wrong.
- 6:10Speaker 2: No, it was actually called the Patriot Act because the
- 6:14Speaker 2: New England Patriots invoked the law to be able to
- 6:18Speaker 2: restrain Drew Bledsoe from coming on the field to take
- 6:23Speaker 2: his job back from Tom Brady. The law gave the
- 6:26Speaker 2: Patriots the right to forcefully tie Drew Bledsoe to the
- 6:30Speaker 2: bench so he couldn't move.
- 6:33Speaker 1: So yeah, now you know. You're welcome. Just such important
- 6:38Speaker 1: historical perspective there, Tony. Thank you. Well, you know, talking
- 6:41Speaker 1: about putting things in perspective, you know, all these haters
- 6:45Speaker 1: out there, well, they're saying that the Eagles season is
- 6:48Speaker 1: now going down the tubes because the team lost to
- 6:52Speaker 1: a backup quarterback. These people, they just don't get it,
- 6:55Speaker 1: do they, Tony? No.
- 6:57Speaker 2: If you think the Eagles lost, then you clearly don't
- 7:00Speaker 2: understand how football works. This week, the Washington Commanders beat
- 7:05Speaker 2: the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks.
- 7:08Speaker 1: Well, is everyone.
- 7:10Speaker 2: Forgetting that just a week ago, the Eagles beat the Commanders?
- 7:15Speaker 1: Duh.
- 7:15Speaker 2: So clearly that makes the Eagles the world champions right now.
- 7:21Speaker 1: And what do they always say? To be the best,
- 7:24Speaker 1: you have to beat the team that beat the best.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Of course.
- 7:29Speaker 2: Of course.
- 7:30Speaker 1: But, you know, in all fairness here, one thing we
- 7:33Speaker 1: should say is that we do have to give Caleb
- 7:35Speaker 1: Williams a lot of credit, you know, because he clearly
- 7:38Speaker 1: did a good job preparing Case Keenum to take over,
- 7:41Speaker 1: you know, didn't he?
- 7:42Speaker 2: You know, Caleb Williams obviously did a lot to help
- 7:45Speaker 2: Case Keenum fill that hole.
- 7:47Speaker 1: You know, the hole he left in the offense.
- 7:50Speaker 2: This just shows that Caleb has no problem working with
- 7:53Speaker 2: an older man because older guys tend to need a
- 7:57Speaker 2: little more help getting up, you know, for the game.
- 8:00Speaker 1: But it's clear Caleb had.
- 8:02Speaker 2: The whole offense loosened up and ready so Case could
- 8:06Speaker 2: just slide right in. And credit to Case, too, because
- 8:10Speaker 2: he clearly gave every inch of what he's got. You know,
- 8:14Speaker 2: if you're a Bear... You've got to be happy to
- 8:17Speaker 2: see these two guys coming together like this, really working
- 8:21Speaker 2: top to bottom.
- 8:22Speaker 1: You do. But, you know, the question now for the
- 8:25Speaker 1: Bears is, well, how much does Case have left in
- 8:28Speaker 1: the tank? You know, because these older guys, well, the
- 8:31Speaker 1: first time they come in, they got tons of energy, right?
- 8:33Speaker 1: No problem. But the next time they come, especially if
- 8:37Speaker 1: it's right after they just had to perform.
- 8:39Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 8:39Speaker 1: It's like they got nothing left. You know, they just
- 8:41Speaker 1: emptied the tank, you know?
- 8:42Speaker 3: Yup.
- 8:43Speaker 2: And you know, it doesn't matter what they do to
- 8:45Speaker 2: get themselves up, rub themselves down, hydrate, exercise, eat bananas,
- 8:53Speaker 2: watch some film or video of themselves scoring or other
- 8:57Speaker 2: guys hurling deep balls to receivers or getting a pump
- 9:01Speaker 2: for their balls, you know, footballs.
- 9:04Speaker 1: It's just like they come out limp. If you can
- 9:06Speaker 1: even get them to come at all.
- 9:08Speaker 2: Yup.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Major concerns for the bears there, obviously. Uh, but, uh,
- 9:12Speaker 1: staying on QB news, the big trade news of the week,
- 9:16Speaker 1: the giants traded a fifth round pick to the Vikings
- 9:19Speaker 1: for their quarterback, JJ McCarthy. People that bashing the giants
- 9:24Speaker 1: and saying it was a bad move because JJ McCarthy
- 9:26Speaker 1: is a quote, terrible, talentless waste of garbage. But these
- 9:31Speaker 1: people are clearly not looking at the same stats we are,
- 9:34Speaker 1: are they, Tony? No.
- 9:35Speaker 2: What do we always say is the best way to
- 9:38Speaker 2: evaluate a quarterback? You have to look at his last
- 9:42Speaker 2: complete season.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Of course. And J.J.
- 9:46Speaker 2: McCarthy's last complete season was in 2023. So you have
- 9:51Speaker 2: to look at his 2023 stats. Put up that graphic.
- 9:56Speaker 2: Win-loss record, 15-0. Come on. percentage, 72.3. And a passer
- 10:05Speaker 2: rating of 167.4.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Higher than any NFL QB ever.
- 10:13Speaker 2: I honestly wish we had JJ McCarthy as a backup
- 10:16Speaker 2: to Jalen Hurts based on those stats.
- 10:19Speaker 1: Couldn't agree more, Tony. What?
- 10:24Speaker 3: You're using his stats from college. Yeah, that was his
- 10:29Speaker 3: last complete season, bro. Yeah, Tony just said this. Clearly,
- 10:33Speaker 3: you're not listening to the show.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Rude.
- 10:36Speaker 3: Unfortunately, I am. But college is a totally different game.
- 10:42Speaker 3: A 167 passer rating isn't even mathematically possible in the NFL.
- 10:49Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, well, also not mathematically possible, your penis getting
- 10:53Speaker 1: any smaller. Yeah, you have a zero penis rating. Oh,
- 11:00Speaker 1: shut up. Yeah, much more important stuff to do than
- 11:02Speaker 1: listen to you. Exactly. Like getting a word for the
- 11:04Speaker 1: official Fusco show merch store. You know, it's a great
- 11:08Speaker 1: time to remind you to spend all your money at
- 11:10Speaker 1: the merch store where we have this brand new design.
- 11:13Speaker 1: Put it up. It says, go Fusco yourself. Just a
- 11:16Speaker 1: great way to tell everyone you're better than them and
- 11:19Speaker 1: you want them to leave you alone. And while that's
- 11:21Speaker 1: just one of the many great products you can get,
- 11:24Speaker 1: and out of the goodness of our heart, we're giving
- 11:26Speaker 1: you 20% off everything October 1st through October 4th. Click
- 11:31Speaker 1: the links in the description.
- 11:33Speaker 2: And if you're having trouble remembering that, just remember that's 20% off,
- 11:39Speaker 2: just like our producer has 20% of a child-sized penis.
- 11:45Speaker 1: There you go. That's helpful. Now we got tons of
- 11:48Speaker 1: big NBA news to get through about the LeBron situation,
- 11:52Speaker 1: the Atlanta Hawks, and we're going to get to it
- 11:55Speaker 1: after this. All right, we're back from break. Now, you know,
- 12:00Speaker 1: in this part of the show, all you know, we
- 12:02Speaker 1: like to bring you a new, you know, fresh segment that,
- 12:04Speaker 1: you know, shakes up the show, right? Now, you see,
- 12:07Speaker 1: in the first part of the show where we talked
- 12:09Speaker 1: NFL news, right? But now we're going to talk NBA news.
- 12:14Speaker 1: So that's how we're going to shake up the show
- 12:17Speaker 1: right now with a new segment we call Basketball News.
- 12:22Speaker 1: Basketball News. See, it feels fresh now, Tony. It's like
- 12:27Speaker 1: the whole show has a new energy. I totally feel it, Tony. Anyway,
- 12:32Speaker 1: first out, newest sixer LeBron James told the press that
- 12:36Speaker 1: he actually considered joining the Knicks first before he wound
- 12:40Speaker 1: up joining the Sixers. And well... Tony, people are saying
- 12:44Speaker 1: this is a bad look for the Sixers. I don't
- 12:46Speaker 1: think so.
- 12:46Speaker 2: You?
- 12:47Speaker 1: Not at all.
- 12:48Speaker 2: This is clearly a bad look for the Knicks. If
- 12:51Speaker 2: you're the Knicks, you have to wonder if winning the
- 12:54Speaker 2: championship last season was a mistake. Because what's the most
- 12:58Speaker 2: important thing any sports team needs to do? attract free agents,
- 13:04Speaker 2: of course, and the Knicks totally failed. I mean, that
- 13:08Speaker 2: title is now likely going to haunt the entire Knicks
- 13:11Speaker 2: organization for at least the next 10 years. This is
- 13:15Speaker 2: why you have to trust the process because it's about
- 13:19Speaker 2: focusing on the future and not getting so caught up
- 13:23Speaker 2: in what's happening in an NBA season or the NBA Finals.
- 13:27Speaker 1: Just very short-sighted by the Knicks. Couldn't agree more, Tony. Well,
- 13:32Speaker 1: this next subject is basketball news that also leans into
- 13:36Speaker 1: the political, too. Well, as you know, we do not
- 13:41Speaker 1: discuss politics on this show. We don't want to even
- 13:45Speaker 1: waste our time with the woke liberal media and their
- 13:48Speaker 1: seven-year agenda to ruin the sport of women's swimming. But
- 13:52Speaker 1: we must address what happened in this Jack Smith Senate
- 13:56Speaker 1: hearing the other day. Senator Eric Schmidt, he said Jack
- 14:00Speaker 1: Smith went to a Warriors Hawks NBA game two years ago.
- 14:05Speaker 1: And then Jack Smith said it was actually a Maryland-Iowa
- 14:10Speaker 1: Hawkeyes game instead. Now, people are saying this was a
- 14:14Speaker 1: mistake by Eric Schmidt that he mixed up Hawks and Hawkeyes, but...
- 14:18Speaker 1: So what? These mix-ups happen all the time.
- 14:21Speaker 2: All the time. You remember a couple years back what happened?
- 14:25Speaker 2: You told me you had tickets to see the Birds
- 14:28Speaker 2: play the Bucs. So I went to the link thinking
- 14:31Speaker 2: there's a game, and then I got there and I
- 14:33Speaker 2: saw there was nobody there.
- 14:35Speaker 1: And then I called you and I said, hey, what's
- 14:38Speaker 1: going on?
- 14:38Speaker 2: And you said you were in Milwaukee and had tickets
- 14:41Speaker 2: to see the Bucs play the Pelicans. Yes.
- 14:44Speaker 1: But you know, I didn't get mad.
- 14:46Speaker 2: I understood because these mix-ups happen all the time.
- 14:50Speaker 1: All the time.
- 14:51Speaker 2: Of course.
- 14:52Speaker 1: You know, I remember when I was a kid, my dad,
- 14:54Speaker 1: you know, came in and told me that he got
- 14:56Speaker 1: us tickets to see the Eagles play the Raiders. Yep.
- 15:00Speaker 1: Next thing you know, I'm in a basketball stadium in
- 15:03Speaker 1: Texas watching the Boston College Eagles play the Texas Tech Raiders. But,
- 15:08Speaker 1: you know, even then as a kid, I know happens
- 15:11Speaker 1: all the time. All the time. Exactly. Anyway, well, that
- 15:16Speaker 1: wraps up our basketball news and wraps up our show.
- 15:20Speaker 1: We don't have time for predictions, but the Eagles are
- 15:22Speaker 1: going to beat the Rams. So why waste the time? Anyway, hey,
- 15:26Speaker 1: don't forget to visit our merch store. You get to
- 15:28Speaker 1: go to the merch store. Did you hear? I just
- 15:30Speaker 1: said we're out of time. You really got to start
- 15:32Speaker 1: paying attention to the show. Yeah, you do.
- 15:35Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 15:35Speaker 1: Anyway, what? Corrections. What? Just go.
- 15:40Speaker 3: You really think people normally get the Atlanta Hawks mixed
- 15:45Speaker 3: up with the Iowa Hawkeyes?
- 15:47Speaker 1: Happens all the time, bro. All the time, bro. Yeah.
- 15:51Speaker 3: I've literally never heard of that happening. They play in
- 15:54Speaker 3: two completely different cities, like a thousand miles away from
- 15:57Speaker 3: each other.
- 15:58Speaker 1: Oh yeah. Well, um, you know what I've never heard
- 16:01Speaker 1: of happening? You going on a date. Yeah.
- 16:04Speaker 2: A thousand miles away is where every woman writes on
- 16:07Speaker 2: their restraining order.
- 16:12Speaker 1: Oh, what?
- 16:15Speaker 3: You said the Chicago bears could finish the season, either
- 16:18Speaker 3: 12 and six or three and 13.
- 16:21Speaker 1: Yeah, it's still early, bro. You can go either way, bro. Yeah.
- 16:25Speaker 3: No. There are 17 games in a season. Both those
- 16:30Speaker 3: records don't add up to 17. So it's impossible for
- 16:34Speaker 3: them to finish with those records.
- 16:36Speaker 1: Oh, well, on the subject of impossible, you're penetrating a woman.
- 16:41Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 16:41Speaker 1: You're going to finish with the record. Biggest virgin. Oh,
- 16:46Speaker 1: now shut up. Yeah, let's get out of here. Still yapping.
- 16:50Speaker 2: Go.
- 16:51Speaker 3: You know, I think if there's anything we learned from
- 16:54Speaker 3: this week, from that whole Senate hearing debacle, it's important
- 16:58Speaker 3: to get your facts straight before you attack people.
- 17:02Speaker 1: Yeah, we know. Yeah, duh, idiot.
- 17:07Speaker 3: No, you guys always show misleading stats and misleading charts.
- 17:11Speaker 3: And frankly, it's just exactly what's wrong with this country.
- 17:16Speaker 1: You know, you're right. In fact, I've been meaning to
- 17:19Speaker 1: show you this.
- 17:21Speaker 2: It's a graph that I worked on a lot just
- 17:24Speaker 2: to make sure that it's accurate. This is a graph
- 17:27Speaker 2: of all the penises found in nature, ranging from horse
- 17:31Speaker 2: penis to Ron Jeremy penis down to average human penis,
- 17:37Speaker 2: then ant penis, and then your penis.
- 17:43Speaker 3: Did you actually check this?
- 17:46Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 17:47Speaker 3: Because you forgot something.
- 17:50Speaker 1: Forgot what?
- 17:52Speaker 3: Well, I don't see my penis.
- 17:55Speaker 2: That's because nobody can. Oh, you got him.
- 18:01Speaker 1: You know who we also got, Tony? Just booked on
- 18:05Speaker 1: the show next week. Super Bowl hero, Eagles legend, Nick Foles. Wow, huge. Remember,
- 18:11Speaker 1: you just got 11, 12 simple things to do. You
- 18:13Speaker 1: go to the merch store, get rate and review on
- 18:15Speaker 1: Apple Podcasts. Easy peasy. Hype the video. Comment, hype, all
- 18:19Speaker 1: that stuff. All of it. Subject to things that were
- 18:23Speaker 1: done well and done already, Tony. Great job. As always.
- 18:27Speaker 1: Same to you, Paulie. Another flawless show. There you go.
- 18:32Speaker 1: We'll see you people next week. See ya.
