- 0:44Speaker 1: people are asking us why we left a successful show
- 0:47Speaker 1: to do a podcast. And I've been looking at the numbers.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Do you know that between Apple, Spotify, Google, we are
- 0:53Speaker 1: reaching six point one billion people with this podcast right here.
- 0:58Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. We're going from Philly to the world. It's
- 1:03Speaker 1: what they call in the business. Reach has got a
- 1:06Speaker 1: big reach. All right. On the subject to reach, We've
- 1:09Speaker 1: been making a lot of news in Tampa, haven't we, Tony, Yeah,
- 1:12Speaker 1: we have because we came out and said that the
- 1:15Speaker 1: Bucks should bench Tom Brady for Josh Rosen. Well, apparently
- 1:18Speaker 1: one of the radio hosts down there, who apparently is
- 1:21Speaker 1: kind of a big deal, who knows he had a
- 1:24Speaker 1: problem with it, so he wants to come on the
- 1:25Speaker 1: show and talk to us. We're gonna let him. I write,
- 1:28Speaker 1: his name is Aaron Jacobsen, and we're gonna give it
- 1:31Speaker 1: to him, Tony, aren't we? Oh? I can't wait? Yeah,
- 1:34Speaker 1: but first we got a week two takeaways. To takeaways,
- 1:41Speaker 1: we said boldly and truthfully, Tony, that the Bucks should
- 1:46Speaker 1: bench Tom Brady and stop Josh Rosen. You know, after
- 1:49Speaker 1: the Bucks won whatever sweaked out that win, a lot
- 1:52Speaker 1: of people are claiming that was somehow wrong. We didn't
- 1:55Speaker 1: say stopped Josh Rosen. Now now, of course, not this week.
- 1:59Speaker 1: It's rash Hashana, and you know, to start Josh Rosen
- 2:03Speaker 1: doing during the Jewish high Holy days is extremely disrespectful.
- 2:10Speaker 1: That's why we when we said Josh Rosen, we met
- 2:13Speaker 1: at a at a specific date in the future, right,
- 2:16Speaker 1: you know, like God, let's say November two, when they
- 2:19Speaker 1: play the Giants. See, that would be a good day
- 2:22Speaker 1: to start Josh Rosen. You may think the Cowboys are
- 2:27Speaker 1: a good team based on what you saw. But hey,
- 2:29Speaker 1: what did we see, Tony? That was terrible. People say, oh, well,
- 2:33Speaker 1: we scored four touchdowns, blah blah blah. Look at the
- 2:36Speaker 1: stat that mad is, Tony, Which stat is that fumbles?
- 2:39Speaker 1: That's all that matters in this league. If you're a quarterback,
- 2:42Speaker 1: I don't care if you throw for six hundred yards
- 2:45Speaker 1: and six touchdowns. If you fumble the ball, you had
- 2:48Speaker 1: a bad game. Also, he had three touchdowns running the ball.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Is he a running back. No, he's a quarterback. He's
- 2:57Speaker 1: supposed to throw the ball. Doing what you're supposed to
- 3:00Speaker 1: do your job. All right, Well, you may have noticed
- 3:06Speaker 1: something different this week. They did fix their offensive line,
- 3:09Speaker 1: which proves what we always say. They listen to the show,
- 3:12Speaker 1: they take our advice. Unfortunately, they haven't been taken all
- 3:15Speaker 1: our other advice because they look like ship. Now. Look,
- 3:18Speaker 1: we said the Eagles would go fifteen in one, but now,
- 3:21Speaker 1: based on new information, we're gonna revise our projections. Right, Tony,
- 3:25Speaker 1: we're gonna lower them to fourteen and two. Listen, they'll
- 3:29Speaker 1: go fourteen and two, they'll run through the playoffs, and
- 3:32Speaker 1: they'll win the Super Bowl bank on ite. What have
- 3:37Speaker 1: we been telling you all your people, Patrick mahomes most
- 3:40Speaker 1: overrated player. This guy can't win the first half of
- 3:43Speaker 1: a game. Yesterday he lost three and a half quarters.
- 3:46Speaker 1: They had to beat the Charges in overtime. Who how
- 3:50Speaker 1: can you think this guy is the best thing since
- 3:52Speaker 1: sliced bread. Yeah, this guy's like sliced bread. But if
- 3:56Speaker 1: you're missing three of the slices and you only get
- 3:58Speaker 1: that four slice, what about that shitty slice like at
- 4:01Speaker 1: the end, when it's just that little tiny, all crust,
- 4:04Speaker 1: no bread. That's what Patrick Holmes gives you. He is well,
- 4:09Speaker 1: said Tony Well said Biddles at Dolphins, Tony, you got
- 4:14Speaker 1: anything to say on this one? No, I didn't watch
- 4:17Speaker 1: that game men Bears at Giants. You hear all the
- 4:23Speaker 1: Giants fans this week. Oh no, I star went down
- 4:26Speaker 1: with an injury. We were watching that game, weren't we, Tony.
- 4:30Speaker 1: We saw Sa Kwon Barkley. He was seeing how Daniel
- 4:33Speaker 1: Jones was playing again, and you know, then all of
- 4:35Speaker 1: a sudden he goes, oh my leg, Oh no, I
- 4:39Speaker 1: can't play anymore. You know, I don't like to talk
- 4:43Speaker 1: about people when they're injured. I hope he comes back.
- 4:47Speaker 1: Having said that, Sae Kwon Barkley is the most overrated
- 4:50Speaker 1: fucking running back and giant sister among us among a
- 4:55Speaker 1: string of shitty running back starting with Joe Morris, then
- 4:58Speaker 1: Rodney Hampton, Fantiqui Barber, and then uh Ahmad Bradshaw, Brandon Jacobs,
- 5:05Speaker 1: the whole lot. They all sucked and he sucks worse.
- 5:09Speaker 1: But you know, I wanted to recovery, yes to Mr Barkley,
- 5:15Speaker 1: and then wish him speedy recovery. We want you to
- 5:17Speaker 1: get better, yes, so get well soon, all right, and
- 5:21Speaker 1: that's how week to takeaways. All right, Well, I see
- 5:25Speaker 1: him now on the line here, so let's bring him
- 5:27Speaker 1: into the Fusco satellite network. Alright. So, as we said,
- 5:34Speaker 1: we've been making a lot of news down in Tampa.
- 5:37Speaker 1: So this guy wanted to come on the show. I
- 5:39Speaker 1: guess he's a big deal down there. He hosts two
- 5:42Speaker 1: radio shows on w f L A and w a's
- 5:47Speaker 1: Got One in the morning, then he does the patent
- 5:49Speaker 1: air and show in the afternoon. Well, but now he's
- 5:52Speaker 1: on our show, and uh, that's gotta be a big
- 5:54Speaker 1: deal for him, isn't it, don't he? I mean, I
- 5:57Speaker 1: hope he thanks us as soon as he gets on. Well,
- 6:00Speaker 1: we'll see, all right, let's bring him in. Aaron Jacobson,
- 6:03Speaker 1: Thank you, guys, thank you for having me appreciate it. Now, Look,
- 6:06Speaker 1: I know you want to talk to us about our
- 6:08Speaker 1: big newsmakers, but first we got to back it up here.
- 6:10Speaker 1: Let's just back up to the beginning here. You've been
- 6:13Speaker 1: following the Tampa sports for years. Let's just back up
- 6:15Speaker 1: to when you found out Brady was joining this team.
- 6:18Speaker 1: Were you like in your head, you know how embarrassing
- 6:21Speaker 1: for this franchise? You know what, what a desperate move?
- 6:24Speaker 1: This is embarrassing when you get the goat the greatest
- 6:27Speaker 1: of all time, the guy was six Super Bowl rings.
- 6:30Speaker 1: I don't know how you could look at that is embarrassing.
- 6:33Speaker 1: I mean the Buccaneers fans, this is the best moment
- 6:35Speaker 1: Buccaneers fans have ever had. Tom Brady TV twelve to
- 6:39Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. I don't know how how you could look
- 6:41Speaker 1: at that as as embarrassing. That's that's interesting. Well, hold on, now,
- 6:45Speaker 1: didn't didn't it concern you with his age? I mean,
- 6:48Speaker 1: what is he forty eight? Now forty nine? You know
- 6:50Speaker 1: that he's gonna be handling around at forties. He's in
- 6:54Speaker 1: his forties. You know, didn't that concern you that you know,
- 6:56Speaker 1: you'd have kind of an invalid on the field or
- 6:58Speaker 1: something like that. I don't think that is a concern
- 7:02Speaker 1: that has ever pop popped into my mind. When I
- 7:05Speaker 1: think of Tom Brady at forty three, I think of
- 7:07Speaker 1: the guy that's smart, the guy that keeps getting better.
- 7:09Speaker 1: And when you look at it and you look at
- 7:11Speaker 1: the numbers and you go down to practice and you've
- 7:13Speaker 1: seen what he's doing, it's still tom Brady. Tom Brady
- 7:16Speaker 1: is still slinging it and now he's got all the
- 7:18Speaker 1: weapons he needs. So we don't look here in Tampa
- 7:20Speaker 1: at the age. You've got to look at the man,
- 7:22Speaker 1: the product that's still on the field and with Mike Evans,
- 7:25Speaker 1: with Chris Godwin, those products, that forty three year old
- 7:27Speaker 1: is gonna be just fine. No concerns there. Well, speak
- 7:30Speaker 1: for yourself. I mean, you know that's your opinion. And
- 7:33Speaker 1: another thing, you know, we gotta also bring up give
- 7:36Speaker 1: him that tom Brady's you know, he's very old, and
- 7:39Speaker 1: you know according to the c d C, you know,
- 7:42Speaker 1: elderly people are high at higher risk for contracting COVID.
- 7:47Speaker 1: So how concerned are you that Tom Brady could go
- 7:51Speaker 1: down at any moment. Good question, Good question. I don't.
- 7:56Speaker 1: I'm not concerned about tom Brady going down from COVID
- 8:00Speaker 1: because I know many people at the Buccaneers organization. They're
- 8:04Speaker 1: doing everything. They are testing. You're not getting in there.
- 8:08Speaker 1: They're not letting me in there. There's only one of us.
- 8:11Speaker 1: Do them allowed to get in there? Maybe you need
- 8:12Speaker 1: better credentials here and we we go everywhere. With the Eagles,
- 8:16Speaker 1: they just lay that's the best point. That's the best
- 8:18Speaker 1: point you've made. I need better credentials. But no, it's
- 8:21Speaker 1: tom Brady is not going to That's not anything that
- 8:24Speaker 1: we're worried about. They're doing all the precautions necessary. Uh
- 8:28Speaker 1: he I don't think he is truly in that age
- 8:30Speaker 1: demographic that you speak of. But that's fine. Um. I
- 8:33Speaker 1: think Buccaneers fans are more worried that Donovan Smith is
- 8:36Speaker 1: gonna get him her from the offensive line than of that.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Oh there you go. That's true, because we all know
- 8:43Speaker 1: that without an offensive line, tom Brady just has nothing right.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Can I ask you a question, and I mean this respectfully.
- 8:50Speaker 1: Now you know we broadcast from Philly, which is a
- 8:52Speaker 1: great sports city. Do you have a sitt in Tampa
- 8:55Speaker 1: and think what am I doing here? You know, it's
- 8:58Speaker 1: just second rate sports all around? Sound like do we just?
- 9:01Speaker 1: I wish I was in a city like Philly that
- 9:03Speaker 1: was just so much better. Best city in the country, Tampa.
- 9:07Speaker 1: It's beautiful here we have First, the Rays are doing well.
- 9:11Speaker 1: Baseball is going well, the Tampa Bay Lightning Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Hey,
- 9:15Speaker 1: who who wait when the Rays went to the series? Wait? Wait?
- 9:18Speaker 1: What was the name of that team that beat them? Hi?
- 9:26Speaker 1: Philadelphia Phillies. Now yeah, yeah, you'll your rain delays that
- 9:31Speaker 1: you couldn't all handle and then you got blown upon?
- 9:34Speaker 1: What was that for one? Were you embarrassed in Florida?
- 9:40Speaker 1: All right, we can now get to the topic that
- 9:42Speaker 1: you and everyone in America wants to discuss. Our bold take.
- 9:46Speaker 1: We had the balls to say it that Tom Brady
- 9:49Speaker 1: should be benched for Josh Rosen. Now don't you agree
- 9:54Speaker 1: that Josh Rosen, not old man Brady, is the future
- 9:57Speaker 1: of this organization. First of all, happy New Year to you,
- 10:00Speaker 1: and second, I'm not of the faith, but thank you.
- 10:03Speaker 1: I'll take it anyway. Yeah, Happy New Year all you
- 10:07Speaker 1: and Josh Rosen. But I believe that you're onto something.
- 10:11Speaker 1: I don't think you're crazy completely with Josh Rosen maybe
- 10:16Speaker 1: being the guy in the future practice squad, let him
- 10:19Speaker 1: learn a little bit the tutelage of Tom Brady. Josh Rosen,
- 10:23Speaker 1: if he's willing to wait it out, collect a little cash,
- 10:26Speaker 1: take that guaranteed money and live the high life while
- 10:29Speaker 1: you're learning from Tom Brady and worked hard. He could
- 10:30Speaker 1: be the quarterback of the future. But this is a
- 10:32Speaker 1: long way away. It's Tom Brady. No, no, no, not
- 10:35Speaker 1: as long as you think. Because you know, as you
- 10:38Speaker 1: followed Super Bowl history, we've had quarterbacks go down, i e.
- 10:43Speaker 1: Consin Wentz and then who rises up the previous chosen
- 10:48Speaker 1: what's the nick foes the original guy to do it
- 10:52Speaker 1: never had been done before and showed you could take
- 10:55Speaker 1: a backup quarterback and win. It would have been never
- 10:59Speaker 1: been done four if it hadn't had been done before.
- 11:03Speaker 1: But tom Brady actually that's how he became who he is.
- 11:07Speaker 1: He took over for Drew Bledsoe when the when the
- 11:10Speaker 1: Jets injured him, and then tom Brady went on to
- 11:12Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl. So I kind of like and
- 11:14Speaker 1: all the six Oh you mean when when when when
- 11:19Speaker 1: Tom Brady had the tuck rule and got himself out
- 11:21Speaker 1: of that jam and had the reps help him go
- 11:23Speaker 1: into nick Foles built himself up on his own. He
- 11:27Speaker 1: did it on his own, blowing away the competition. So
- 11:30Speaker 1: don't disrespect that. Oh and by the way, who did
- 11:33Speaker 1: Nick Foles beat in the Super Bowl? Tell me that name,
- 11:35Speaker 1: Tell me that name. He beat Tom Brady on that day,
- 11:39Speaker 1: but Tom Brady threw for more through for a lot
- 11:43Speaker 1: of it was. That's what you can go. Go get
- 11:49Speaker 1: get down in your red pink convertible, whatever you got,
- 11:53Speaker 1: and go drive off the skyway because you're fucking out
- 11:56Speaker 1: of here. You don't all right? Is he off the line?
- 12:07Speaker 1: What was going on there? You know? We give this
- 12:10Speaker 1: guy a chance at a global radio network. Yeah, global exposure,
- 12:14Speaker 1: and that's what he does. Some people can't handle the spotlight. Pouli.
- 12:20Speaker 1: I think he wanted to tell us why Tampa was
- 12:23Speaker 1: so great because he's a homer. That's what he is.
- 12:25Speaker 1: He's a homer. You gotta be objective in this business.
- 12:28Speaker 1: You can't be a homer. You have to look at
- 12:30Speaker 1: things objectively. Look, we're not gonna let him ruin the
- 12:33Speaker 1: show because we got business to do, Tony, big business, right, yep.
- 12:37Speaker 1: So we're gonna do a little ad for a business
- 12:40Speaker 1: of oz. You've probably heard about it. Polly and Tony

- 14:37Speaker 1: Joe Burrow can't win a football game. The Eagles are
- 14:40Speaker 1: starving and hungry. I think the Eagles are gonna win
- 14:43Speaker 1: this one going away. I like the Eagles. Three. I go.
- 14:48Speaker 1: I'm going to Eagles fifty six to two. U Cowboys
- 14:52Speaker 1: at Seahawks, and the Seahawks are rolling. I don't even
- 14:56Speaker 1: think this one's gonna be close. I'm going Seahawks thirty eight,
- 15:00Speaker 1: our Boys three. I go Seahawkso Dolphins the Jaguars, I'm
- 15:05Speaker 1: not gonna watch it. You're not gonna watch it. So
- 15:07Speaker 1: I don't know. It's alright, nobody gives a fuck. Alright.
- 15:11Speaker 1: Forty nine is a Giants. I don't know who's gonna play.
- 15:15Speaker 1: It might be seven on seven. But I'm gonna go
- 15:18Speaker 1: with the forty Niners because Nick Mullins is better than
- 15:22Speaker 1: Danny Dimes Daniel the bum Jones. So I'm going forty
- 15:26Speaker 1: nine is eleven Giants five. I got the Giants not
- 15:30Speaker 1: even showing up for the game because they know the
- 15:32Speaker 1: season's over. So I get forty nine is winning by disqualification. Alright, um,
- 15:38Speaker 1: Bears at Falcons. Oh, well, here's the thing. I'm gonna
- 15:41Speaker 1: give you two scores. Okay, if the Bears start Mitch Trubisky,
- 15:46Speaker 1: they're gonna lose twenty eight nothing. But if the Bears
- 15:51Speaker 1: are smart and start Nick Foles, Bears are gonna win
- 15:55Speaker 1: sixty two. I go Bears with Nick Foles eighties six
- 16:00Speaker 1: to zero. Alright. Radars at Patriots. Okay, so you know
- 16:05Speaker 1: the Raiders. They play in Vegas, and Vegas has a
- 16:08Speaker 1: lot of security cameras, and who loves to look at
- 16:11Speaker 1: security films of practices? Bill Belichick. Belichick is gonna be
- 16:15Speaker 1: watching all the players in their room. He's gonna be

- 16:35Speaker 1: time for the point of the show where we do corrections.
- 16:38Speaker 1: But unfortunately Jay left because he had to go to
- 16:42Speaker 1: his fantasy football draft again. They fucked it up the
- 16:44Speaker 1: first time, so they have to redo it. All right, Well,
