  Speaker 1: Tony Foolsco and Tony Huge show today. You know, a
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: lots to talk about. You know, first off, people out
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: there claiming that the Eagles lost to the Commanders. We'll
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: tell you who the real loses off people, and I'll
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: give you a hint. It's the Commander's fans. And you know,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: also we said last week, you know, hit the nail
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: right on the head. We said Jeff Saturday was a
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: smart higher by the Colts and we were proven right
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: once again, weren't we Tony? Of course? What else is now?
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: You heard it here first? Exactly? Well, the execs a
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. You know, we have this new partnership
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: with them that you know, I'm already starting to regret, Tony.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: You know, they asked us to have a guest on
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the show this week to talk about the Colts coaching situation. Uh,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: They're given us a former NFL offensive lineman, and you
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: know he said, there's many times who wants to hear
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: from an offensive lineman? Just a terrible booking today and
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: on top of that, get this Tody he owes the podcast.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Listen to this title. This is the title of his podcast,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Jeff Schwartz is Smarter than You. That is the actual
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: title of the podcast, which just shows you what this
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: clown thinks of himself. Yeah, pretty big ego on this guy.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. You know we're gonna have to put him
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: in his place. But before we get to all that,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: got to do a little business up top, a sponsor
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: read for our dear friends at Casper Mattress. Did you
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: get your mattress at a department store where a hundred
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: people could have slept on it? That's disgusting. Yeah, you
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: probably can't sleep at night because you're too busy worrying
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: about all the diseases that you caught. Casper Mattress is
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: because if your mattress doesn't come in the box, it's
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: gross us. The discount code Polly and Tony number one
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: show for one point to percent off your first order
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: on the twenty dollars Casper. Alright, well, we got that
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: business out of the way, Tony, and there's so much
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: to get do, so let's get right into a top
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: story story. Alright, First, out the gate War of words
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: breaking out in the NFL over the controversial hiring of
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Colts head coach Jeff Saturday. And you know, all last
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: week people out there, they were moaning and whining about
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the hiring because Saturday had zero professional coaching experience. Well
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: now look now, look it was a career winning percentage there.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: You know, people that's still just up in arms about this.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: You got the former Steeler's head coach, Pil Kalla. He
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: was on CBSS NFL today, you know, that show which
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: is literally never interesting at all, but for one show
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: in the history of television, and you go anyway, you know, Colla.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: He came out and he said that the hiring of
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday is an insult the coaches who have worked
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: their way up the ranks, you know, spent years in coaching.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Well then just the other day, on the other side
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: of this, you've got Mad Dog Russo, who is now
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: on the ESPN's first Take for some reason that nobody
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: could explain, but that's another story. Anyway, Russo comes out
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and he says that Kawa is an insult to broadcasters
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: because he had no broadcasting experience and yet got a
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: job at CBS. And you know, tell any when you
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: look at it, Russo for once as a very good
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: point here, doesn't it absolutely Bill cow was mere presence
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: on television is an insult to all the broadcasters who
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: worked their way up, like Mike Tarrico. I mean, Mike
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Tarrico put in the time, and it's sad to see
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Bill Coward disrespect Mike Tarrico that way. When you think
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: about it, it's only fair that when an NFL coaches
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: want to get into broadcasting, they should have to start
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: out in a small market like Wichita, Topeka, you know,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: on the six o'clock news as an entire or production
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: assistant for a few years before they earn their way
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: to a bigger market like maybe Des Moines or Sancramento,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: and then they can get to be on CBS. Great point, Tonty.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: And you know, this story actually has sprung a whole
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: news storyline because now people are bashing Raiders head coach
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels because he lost to Jeff Saturday. You know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: they're saying that McDaniels should have won the game because
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: he has twenty years more professional coaching experience, you know,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: compared to Saturday. But these fools are once again missing
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the point, aren't they, Tony? They don't get it at all.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: You know, people keep focusing on coaching experience, but what
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: about life experience. Jeff Saturday is one year older than
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels. He's forty seven, and Josh McDaniels is just
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: forty six. Think about it. Remember when you were in
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: seventh grade, you know way more than you did in
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the sixth grade because you had a whole extra year
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: of life. As the saying goes, you can't teach an
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: old dog new tricks, but an old dog knows way
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: more than a young dog. So well, put that, Tony,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: and you know, truly a lot of food for thought there.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: And you know another point that I haven't heard anyone
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: in the media make because they're lazy. Jeff Saturday, he
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: played center. I mean, people always act like quarterback is
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the most important position on the theme great, that's not
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: true at all, right, right, Tony, It's called center for
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: a reason. You can't run a play without your center.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: The center is at the center of the entire football organization.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: This is why we've always said Peyton Manning is overrated.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: If Jeff Saturday hadn't expertly delivered the ball to Peyton
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Manning's hands every time that nobody would even know who
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Peyton Maning is today. You know, Tony, sometimes the truth
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: is very hard for people to accept. And you know
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you can't deny that that was all true what you
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: said right there. Thank you? Yeah, yeah, there we go.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: All right. The next story here, not the top story
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: because frankly it's not that big a deal. But the Eagles,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: you know, finally quote unquote lost their first game of
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the season to Washington on Monday night. Now people are
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: saying this is because the command has played well. No,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: there was a clear missed face most penalty on the Eagles.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Dallas go to it and you know that was the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: whole game right there. And you know this would have
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: never happened, Tony, if the NFL had been smart and
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: had taken our advice, the advice we gave right on
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the show. If you're weeks to go the Dean Blandino,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and it implemented the system that we suggested. You know,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: instead of having one team of refs on the field
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and letting them do whatever they want, no, you have
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: another team of refs that to overseeing them. As we said,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: ref ref the refs. You know, this is America. Our
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: country was founded on a system of checks and balances.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: We're giving refs way too much power. If our founding
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: fathers like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln saw what was
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: going on in the NFL, they would be absolutely horrified.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: You're absolutely right, Donty. And you know it's even more
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: horrifying here there are young kids at home watching these games.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: What example is the league setting if a player can
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: just openly break a rule and totally get away with it.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: You know, what are we kids these days? You know,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: you and need We don't have kids, luckily, but if
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: we did, I would be horrified by the terrible example
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the NFL is setting it. I mean, I don't want
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: to sound like this is hyperball, but this makes me
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: worry about the future of our country. To be honest,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: You're not the only one, Tonty. And you know, just
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: another small thing to mention here, because you know the
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: media refuses to cover it, you know, because that hoards
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: another bone I have to pick with the commanders. They're
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: stealing a page right out of the Eagles playbook, right
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: before everybody's eyes. You know, it's pure and simple plagiarism.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: What they're doing. They saw how the Eagles want a
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl, right, you're bringing conson Wentz constum Wentz goes
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: down with an injury because he's brittle and his body
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: can't be trusted. And then you go to a backup
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: You'll be who nobody has ever heard of. That is
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: totally straight out of the Eagles playbook. Totally plagiarism. And Donty,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: you know this would be an uproar. That would be
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: an uproar if we saw this in some other industry,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: because you see it all the time, don't you. Absolutely
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: we also see this plagiarism in Hollywood. You know, I
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: remember when one of the all time great volcano movies
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: came out, of course I'm talking about Dante's Peak with
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Piers Brosnan. Well, a month after that came out, Tommy
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Lee Jones came out with another volcano movie called Volcano,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: And if I remember correctly, Dante's Peak sued Volcano and
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: that's why nobody ever talks about Volcano to this day. Wow,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: you know, Tony, such a terrific and clear analogy that
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: uh so perfectly connecting the dots for the audience. So
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: they can understand that Dante's peak is the Eagles and
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Volcano is the commander. Is terrific job by your thank
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: you well. On the subject of not doing a terrific job.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: That goes to whoever guest today, because now it's time
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: for a guest segment. I see him coming on the line,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: so let's bring him on the Fusco Satellite network. Satellit Alright,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I guess former offensive lineman with the Panthers, Vikings, Chiefs Giants.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: You can hear him on Fox Sports Radio. He also
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: hosts a podcast this is very interesting, called Jeff Schwartz
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: is Smarter than You, which is a hell of a
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: title for a show. There. You know, clearly thinks very
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: highly of himself there. Yeah, anyway, so let's just get
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: him on the show. We're gonna have to just take
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: you down a couple of nine games. We're gonna have
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to get he was given the benefit of the doubt here.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe he is maybe he is smart, you know,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Jeff obviously the big story out of the NFL, you know,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday winning his first game as head coach of
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: the Cults, which we totally called. He beat the Raiders
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: despite having no previous NFL coaching experience, and even in
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the process he shut up all his critics like yourself,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: isn't that game just proof right there that you and
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: everyone else but totally wrong about the Jeff Saturday Higher Maybe,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, we'll see how it goes afterwards. It could
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: be the Raiders also stinged UM and they got Matt
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Ryan back, which I think a lot of us would
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: have felt differently if we knew Matt Ryan was playing
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: for He was playing thirty minutes before the game. So
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: we could be wrong, certainly, But I think that maybe
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: we have we have we think too highly of coaches
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: at time, how much kind of work they put in Um.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: But we'll see. I mean, you know, well, I'm curious
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: if anyone else does this, Like if the Raiders fire,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels are gonna be gonna bring in how he
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: longed to coach a team, like who's gonna be the Raiders?
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Well that would actually I would actually be kind of interested.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Don't see how long coach of Dame. You know, he
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: is a level star, you know, I mean, don't you
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: think I mean, you're getting somewhere with this, you know, Jeff,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday was a center, right, so he was the center.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Everything had to go through him. So doesn't that seem
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: like you are an offensive lineman. Doesn't it make sense
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: why a center would make a great coach. They're calling
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: all the plays quarterbacks called the place, Um, but who's
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the one who has to stop the play? That's the
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: definitely anything. He definitely is one of the two guys
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: that that that touches the ball every single place. So there,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I'll give you this credit on that one. Um. I
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: think Saturday is is very bright. He's a good motivator. Obviously,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: we obviously not as as things. There's obviously game planning
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: whatnot that he nailed in a week one already. So
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: it kind of makes guys like me look stupid to me. Yeah,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: is it really great? Yeah, we go see. Was starting
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: addition that maybe you should retitle your show. Jeff Schwartz
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: is not as quite smart as he thought he was.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Wasn't that would not be a more accident. Yeah, it's
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: not as catchy though. I feel like it's a little
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: catch Great, what about you are smarter than Jeff Schwartz.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: That's also a good part. I'll run that run that
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: by my my my podcast. But you know you hear
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: on something there. You said head coaching experience is overrated.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: You know, we pointed out something early in the year,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: though what I said, I said, I said it might
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: be overrated. Take he's moon walking? What explain yourself. I
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: did not say that it's overrated every single situation. But
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I think we've seen at times that even if you
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: get the head coach before you were unsuccessful, that does
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: not mean you will be successful the second time around, right, um,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: And so maybe it's something to the idea again one
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: game sample size, that not having an experience for this
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: specific position might pay off and you can have good
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: coaches around you. Well, are you saying that you hadn't
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: experienced somewhere with a head coach and you realize this
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: person was overrated and you'll potentially want to name names
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: here right now on this show. Yeah, I play with
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: some good coaches. Man. I never felt like anyone was
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: looking back out of the answer today. Okay, and you
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: know somehow no that a head coach could be overrated? Okay,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: keep going, Yeah, you kiss as answer? All right, that's
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: some good because I mean is that the thing you
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: hacker good right now is a Broncos coach. Good are
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: you asking us? It just looked at his reckon you're
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: not good. I thought you were smarter than everybody. Can
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: you read a NFL? Looked like I'm a little concerned.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Thought y'all thought you're your head coaching hired two years ago?
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Was a bum? No that said that. In fact, when
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: he said that legendary press conference. Yeah, were the ones
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: who said this is a sign, a good sign? YEA.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Go back to the people said arian he couldn't put
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: two words together. We said, who cares? He? That is
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: more focused on football? You're focused on speaking exactly fair enough,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: fair enough. Yeah? I was wrong about that one too,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: But then again, why do you call your show? Jeff?
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: You've admitted that you're wrong now, I think twenty times
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: in this interview. I think it's time correct. I'm absolutely
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: horrified by your performance in this interview. It's really been
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: terrible for you. So can I just get you to
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: admit that after this interview, you're gonna go change the
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: name of your podcast. Let me give you a better topic. Yeah,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: here's a better title for you. Jeff Schwartz is of
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: below average intelligence? Will you change it to that? Yeah?
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: If everyone goes and yes, of all the shameless plug,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: he's adding conditions. Bolly, you know the title for this show,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: it's called Jeff Schwartz has got his task kicked off? Jeff,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: you finished what? You can't admit anything this show? Jeff
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: st is he off the line? Jay, hang up the phone?
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: You know, don'ty If that's the type of person that
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio considers talent, I am definitely questioning this
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: spot in the ship. Absolutely, we shouldn't known. Yeah, anyway,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: all right, let's not go out on a negative note.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: He a positive note. We're gonna thank god sponsor that
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Casper mattresses no corrections. If it isn't the one person
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Jeff Schwartz is actually smarter than the produce Jet there
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: what what number one? You said, Jeff Saturday has a
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: career winning percentage of he does that? That's not how
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: stats work. You can't use percentages when a guy has
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: only coached one game. Oh yeah, well here's a percentage.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: You are a d annoying Yeah, I'm gonna hate you
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: with one of my car after this show. Now we're done.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah. Second second, another one you called the
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Eagles player Dallas go dirt. Yeah. No, his name is
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: pronounced Goddard, Yeah, as in God. Why did you give
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: us such a producer? Yeah, your face is going to
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: go in the dirt when I see you after this
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: show with no more one more thing? What what On
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: the subject of pronunciations, Tony, you said the word hyper bowl. Yeah, no,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: it's pronounced hi pur bow ye. Oh yeah, Well I'm
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: going to kick you in your hyper bowls if you
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: catch my drift. Yeah, pronounce this, you suck producer j
• 17:12
