Speaker 1 (00:04):
All right, all right, you doll and to your life
from Philly. It's the number one rated Toley and.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Tony Fosco show, y'all, as always Polly Fool's go Heir
with Tony Foolsco and Tony Yo Huge show. Today, we're
gonna call out the NFL for their stupid decision, once
again clearly proving their anti egos bias with this whole
scheduling got fiast they've created, And we'll.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Tell you why. The Celtics just made an absolutely bonehead
move just throw their season down the toilet. Yep and
h Well, now that Pete Rose is once again eligible
for the Hall of Fame, we're gonna tell you why
this has massive implications, bigger than your brain can possibly comprehend.
You know.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Yeah, your pea brains aren't even gonna be able to
understand what we're gonna tell you.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah, exactly. And they're talking about not understanding, Tony. You know,
we got people that come up to us on the
street saying your show is so informative and entertaining. Yeah,
that's what I say to them. This is not for
your entertainment. Okay, if you and if you want to
be informed, here you go. If you're a listener watcher,
you need to put in the work to Yeah, you
(01:13):
don't just sit there exactly. So what you're gonna do
is you're gonna hit the like button, you're gonna hit
the subscribe, and you're gonna go to the Apple podcast
and you're gonna leave a five star review right down exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
And the next time you come up to us, I
want to hear about how tired and miserable you are
from all the clicking and subscribing and going to all
our social media videos and liking and tagging every person.
You know, If your thumbs aren't red and bleeding, don't
even look at us, don't even look.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
In my direction. Okay, the rest of you is gonna
be bleeding, all right. Anyway, enough about that, let's get
right into a top story. S all right, First, out
the gate, just another clearly terrible decision by the NFL,
the league announcing that the first game of the twenty
twenty five season will feature the Eagles hosting the Cowboys
(02:07):
on Thursday night. And this is just laughable, isn't it, Dony?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
You know, putting the Eagles in the season opener just
once again exposes the league's anti Eagles bias. We're coming
off short rest. We were the last team to play
last season, and now we're the first team to play
this season.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
That's not fair.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
No, Cowboys haven't played since January, well, technically November. If
you watched all their crappy games when they basically just
stood around and let other teams score, you know, we
played three or four extra months.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
We should have all of September ra off.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
And the game is right after Labor Day, so instead
of getting a three day weekend, we have to work.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
It's downright unfair, unfair.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
And Unamerican, don'tye more. But you know, we do have
to take a moment here to congratulate the Cowboys, don't we.
You know, usually the arrival, but we have to give
them a pat on the back when we can, isn't
that right, Dony?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Yeah, you know this is great news for the Cowboys.
They will finally get to celebrate a Super Bowl win
and see a banner raised.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Sure it won't be in their stadium and the banner
will say Eagles on it, but hey, this is the
closest they've been in thirty years to a Super Bowl celebration.
So this is a monumental step forward for the Cowboys organization.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Absolutely our heartfelt congratulations.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Congrats.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Oh, by the way, you see this Dony Mike Dorico,
that Boso. Yeah, they came out and said he has
a problem with people in sports talk showing their fandom
for teams, and you know he was clearly talking about us.
We hear it all the time from these morons out
there who think we you know, because we live in
Philly and we wear Eagles jerseys every day and you
know we only talk positively about the team.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah, that was somehow biased. Hello, of course we think
they're good. They won the Super Bowl. But you want
us to say that we think the Jaguars are good?
Think people? That makes no sense, Yeah, makes zero sense.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Anyway, staying in football, you know, there are these reports
that the University of North Carolina banned Bill Belichick's kind
of hot but also kind of scary in that, you know,
meta in a bar at two am, took rome and
now you're kind of a credit kind of way girlfriend
Jordan Hudson. Anyway, the university came out and they said
they did not ban Jordan Hudson and that she's welcome
(04:34):
at all. Football related activities, and well, this is clearly
the right move, isn't it, Dony?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Absolutely, you know we've seen this approach work before. Of course,
I'm talking about the great documentary series from the nineties
Locker Room Cheerleaders Volumes one through two hundred and twenty six.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
In every movie, a girl.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Would go into a college football locker room and give
the entire team such an important boost. I even felt
inspired and really lifted watching it. We need to celebrate women,
and the film series just showed the power of what
women can do when placed in the right positions. I mean,
you know, by positions, I mean football operation positions.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Clearly, clearly, just so beautifully said that, Dony. And you know,
I remember seeing similar movies with the same plot lines
all over DV growing up, you know, on Showtimes, Cinemax,
and they were all labeled NC seven Dean. And that's
why we're bringing it up here.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Don't Yeah, Because, as you know, and C stands for
North Carolina, because that's where the movies were made.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Exactly. Well, right, let's just move on to the NBA.
Of course, the outrage after the Dallas Mavericks won the
first overall pick in the draft lottery despite having an
eighteen percent chance of winning. Now, this is a lot
of babel saying it's all rigged fixed, and these people
are just insane crackpots, aren't they. Dony?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Do you really think something is rigged just because the
whole process takes place behind closed doors with no cameras
and nobody but the NBA commissioner and two other unidentified people,
and nobody has a good explanation for how the entire
process actually works.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
That doesn't mean it's rigged.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
I mean, did you see how the pope got selected? No,
So what are you gonna say now that the pope
is rigged?
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Try saying that to God? Good luck with that?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, good luck with that. It's just such a sad situation,
the amount of doubt people have, you know, Tony, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
It really is. What happened to just taking things at
face value. It's so sad, you know. Like the other
day I got a text message saying that I owed
thirty two thousand dollars and unpaid tolls and they were
gonna impound my car and throw me in prison.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
I didn't think twice.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
I wrote back to this unknown WhatsApp number and said,
of course, I'll pay, thank you, and I immediately wired
them the money. You know, imagine if I didn't pay,
I'd be in prison right now.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
And I don't even own a car.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Truly dodged a bullet that, Dony. Good thinking by you.
And wait, something's coming across there. All right, we have
some breaking news. Hit that sounder. All right, this is
a headline straight from ESPN dot com. I'm reading this
straight from the site. ESPN's Tim McMahon says that, according
to his sources, the Mavericks plan to draft Cooper Flag
(07:29):
and will not trade the number one pick.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I did not see this comming, Dony. I'm totally blown away, so.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Am I And wait, hold on, I have some breaking
news about this too. According to my sources, the Dallas
Mavericks are saying internally that once they draft Cooper Flag,
they will sign him to a contract and then they
will expect him to be one of the twelve players
on their roster when next season begins.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Just great, saucing Tony, amazing.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
John, I got another one hit the sounder again. As
we all know, there's been a lot of speculation about
where Cooper Flag is gonna live while playing for the Mavericks,
and my sources is saying that he will indeed be
moving to Dallas.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
People were wondering will he stay in the dorms at
Duke University? Will he stay near his hometown of Newport, Maine.
My sources tell me he wants to be within driving
distance of the stadium instead of having to fly to
home games from another city.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Wow. Just amazing inside info that Tony. And well, now
to this Nick Celtics series just a total mess for Boston. Yeah, no,
star Jason Tatum injured his achilles in Game four and
then immediately went and had surgery the next day. How
many people are saying, well, that's because his season was
over anyway, But that's not what was going on. That
(08:59):
was clearly the wrong move the Tony, wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
The Celtics should have followed the Lakers strategy from a
few years ago. Boston should have released a deadly virus
across the globe, just like the Lakers did, which would
effectively shut down the league and force the NBA to
move the playoffs to October or even later, when a
healthy and rejuvenated Jason Tatum would be rehabbed and ready
(09:23):
to face the Knicks and Game five and a large
conference room at Disney World. Just a very short sighted
move by the Celtics not to do that.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Just terrific basketball and also contagion analysis that Tony and
well to another basketball No, we must address the buckstar Giannis.
What hell? Anyway, he's reportedly open minded about a trade,
and Donny, when you break it down, there's really only
one clear destination for him, isn't there?
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Yup? The Minnesota timber Wolves.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
As we've mentioned on this show.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
You know, once or twice Anthony Edwards has openly bragged
about his allegedly huge penis. Well, you have to assume
that Giannis also has a huge penis. Can you imagine
if there was an NBA team just stacked with players
with huge penises, nobody would want to guard them closely
for fear of being grazed by one of those huge penises.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
And think about it.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
That called the timber Wolves giant wood timber It makes perfect.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Sense, makes perfect sense. I couldn't agree more that don't
He's just a perfect fit. You doing what.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Well I said it last week. You know, you guys
have like this almost weird obsession with talking about NBA
players and their genitalia. Trust me, it's it's just becoming
too much.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Well too much is all. So what no woman's ever
said about your penis? Hell?
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Now? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, shut up?
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Shut up.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah. And by the way, you know, people they keep
asking why haven't we canned you? You know, if you
people out there have ideas on how you can produce
the show better, you know, go ahead, put a comment
in the YouTube. Tell us what you who knows we
might hire you to replace that useless idiot over there.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Yeah, you never know, so leave a comment.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Leave a comment. Yeah, I mean, we're not going to
read them. We're gonna tell him to read.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Yeah, he's gonna read.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Hopefully you'll learn something, probably not, but anyway, all right,
we're going to get into the big baseball Pete Rose
News very still. But first it's time for a word
from our newest advertisers, our good friends at Fresh Clean Threads.
You know, the best thing to wear is obviously an
Eagles jersey, But what do you do on that one
(11:53):
day every two weeks when your Eagles jersey is in
the wash? Well, we've got the perfect answer for you,
Clean Threads and Toty. You've got one of their shirts
on right now, don't you.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yeah, it's beneath my Eagles jersey. But let me show you.
This shirt is so fresh and so clean and so
soft that I'm even actually considering wearing it on days
when my Eagles jersey isn't in the wash.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
You know, I'm wearing mine too now, Tony, and I
love it. It's comfortable. But you know, I gotta say,
I do think it would be just slightly better if
you know it had a big number five, you know
right here?
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Maybe an Eagle glogo here, maybe one here. You know,
we'll have to thought we should people. I we'll talk
to the Fresh Clean Threads people about that. But for you,
you go now to Fresh Cleanthreads dot com and you
enter the promo code Bosco fifteen to get fifteen percent

And if you don't receive a discount, well that must
mean you're illiterate and you don't know how to type away.
So go now, yeah, okay, we're back from break, and
(13:19):
you know, we got to talk about this, toty. It's
a development in baseball. A lot of people saying this
was surprising, they didn't see it coming. Of course, we
totally saw it coming. Of course, beat Rose getting reinstated
by the commissioner. Now there's a lot to break down here,
So we're going to do it all right now in
a new segment we call Fusco Deep Dive. Fusco Deep Dive.
(13:43):
All right, the big story once again. Major League Baseball
announced that Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson are now
being reinstated and therefore can now be eligible for Hall
of Fame voting, even though they were previously banned due
to gambling on the game of baseball. Now, MLB Commissioner
Rob Manfred, he explained the reasoning here, all right. He
(14:05):
said that Pete Rose is dead and therefore quote is
no longer a threat to the integrity of the game.
And well, you know, as much as we are fans
of Pete Rose, it's not entirely true what Manfred is saying. Yeah,
you know, it's not true to say that Pete Rose
is no longer a threat to the game. That's right,
(14:26):
you know, not if.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
You believe in ghosts, which we both obviously do. You know,
there's still a very good chance Pete Rose can affect
the game from the afterlife. I mean, just last week,
I was watching a Reds game and the center fielder
was going back for a catch and the ball looked
like a surefire home run.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
But then the ball dropped right into his glove and
there was no wind.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
So you know, the only other explanation is ghost. You know,
like Pete Rose's ghost blue on the ball while it
was flying mid air.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I saw that. I'm just thinking the exact same thing, ghost.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 5 (15:08):
This show continues to hit new lows.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah, I'm gonna hit you.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
You talking.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
You seriously believe that outcomes of Major League Baseball games
are being affected by ghosts or the ghosts are even real?
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Uh, I'd be very careful about what you say, bro.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, I'd watch out, bro. I you know, I see
somebody shadow in that blurry background you got there behind you.
I'd be careful.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
That's a coat on a rack.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Hey, ghost, if you're there and can hear me, now,
please kill our producer take him to the afterlife with you.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I gotta say, Bro, that does look like some sort
of underworld demon. So yeah, it looks very murders you.
You know that's on you. That's on anyway, all right,
I just enough about that. Back to the story. You
know this comment by Rob Manfred about beat Rose, it's
really a game changer when you think about it. I mean,
what Manfred is saying is that when someone is dead, well,
(16:12):
they're no longer a threat, so you have to reevaluate
everything about them. Isn't that right, Tony?
Speaker 4 (16:18):
You know it makes you think about OJ.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
I mean, based on that logic, it sounds like we
should now rule OJ as not guilty because he's no
longer a threat.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
A threat you have to he's got to be.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
It's even more ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Oh, you're getting me.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
You know that shadow back there looks a lot like
oh j Yeah, it does.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
You know, OJ, if that is you, we could really
use your help right now. Yeah, do what you'll do best,
get back in the game.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
He's OJ.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Murder him, you can't prosecute in the afterlife, according to
Rob Manfred, so murder is legal for you.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Well, you know, Tony I'm looking at the monitor. I
do think OJ might be moving back there. Come closer
to a moja? Come on, yeah, come closer.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Where are these sound effects coming from? I'm not playing.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
It must be a ghost, bro. The afterlife must have
audio powers greater than yours. Well, everyone has audio powers
greater than yours, including in the afterlife.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Can we just wrap this episode so I can leave already?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
So now you think you run the show? Oh, I
see how it works.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
You know if you want to leave, go ahead, You'll
just walk toward that shadow behind you and you could
leave for eternity.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yep, bye bye. Now you're in the afterlife? Ghost?
Speaker 4 (17:44):
What is the corrections?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Can you just go? Already? Turning into the producer show what?
The ghosts are really pissed at you, bro, so just
go go.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
You said the Mavericks had an eighteen percent chance of
winning the lottery, Yeah, bro, very slim chance there, Bro,
you're missing a decimal. It was a one point eight
percent chance, not eighteen. That's why everybody thinks it's fixed.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Oh yeah, well you know what everybody wishes was fixed?
Your mom's uterus.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yeah, and you have one point eight percent of a
first grade ist Penis.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Right, I'm still talking.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
Way you said. The NC in NC seventeen stands for
North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Uh yeah, bro, common knowledge, bro, The.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
NC stands for no children as no children under seventeen admitted.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Oh yeah, well after the show, you're gonna be admitted
to the burn unit.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Actually, NC is what girls call you.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
No, oh, great one, Tony.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Oh and by the way, it's pronounced Jannis, not Giannis.
You don't pronounce the G.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Oh yeah, well, you know what you do. Pronounce the
G in ghost watch out, fuddy, You're gonna die. You're done, bro. Oh,

Think people? That makes no sense, Yeah, makes zero sense.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
No.

Anyway, staying in football, you know, there are these reports
that the University of North Carolina banned Bill Belichick's kind
of hot but also kind of scary in that, you know,
meta in a bar at two am, took rome and
now you're kind of a credit kind of way girlfriend
Jordan Hudson. Anyway, the university came out and they said
they did not ban Jordan Hudson and that she's welcome

the right move, isn't it, Dony?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Absolutely, you know we've seen this approach work before. Of course,
I'm talking about the great documentary series from the nineties
Locker Room Cheerleaders Volumes one through two hundred and twenty six.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
In every movie, a girl.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Would go into a college football locker room and give
the entire team such an important boost. I even felt
inspired and really lifted watching it. We need to celebrate women,
and the film series just showed the power of what
women can do when placed in the right positions. I mean,
you know, by positions, I mean football operation positions.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Clearly, clearly, just so beautifully said that, Dony. And you know,
I remember seeing similar movies with the same plot lines
all over DV growing up, you know, on Showtimes, Cinemax,
and they were all labeled NC seven Dean. And that's
why we're bringing it up here.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Don't Yeah, Because, as you know, and C stands for
North Carolina, because that's where the movies were made.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Exactly. Well, right, let's just move on to the NBA.
Of course, the outrage after the Dallas Mavericks won the
first overall pick in the draft lottery despite having an
eighteen percent chance of winning. Now, this is a lot
of babel saying it's all rigged fixed, and these people
are just insane crackpots, aren't they. Dony?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Do you really think something is rigged just because the
whole process takes place behind closed doors with no cameras
and nobody but the NBA commissioner and two other unidentified people,
and nobody has a good explanation for how the entire
process actually works.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
That doesn't mean it's rigged.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
I mean, did you see how the pope got selected? No,
So what are you gonna say now that the pope
is rigged?
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Try saying that to God? Good luck with that?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, good luck with that. It's just such a sad situation,
the amount of doubt people have, you know, Tony, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
It really is. What happened to just taking things at
face value. It's so sad, you know. Like the other
day I got a text message saying that I owed
thirty two thousand dollars and unpaid tolls and they were
gonna impound my car and throw me in prison.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
I didn't think twice.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
I wrote back to this unknown WhatsApp number and said,
of course, I'll pay, thank you, and I immediately wired
them the money. You know, imagine if I didn't pay,
I'd be in prison right now.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
And I don't even own a car.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Truly dodged a bullet that, Dony. Good thinking by you.
And wait, something's coming across there. All right, we have
some breaking news. Hit that sounder. All right, this is
a headline straight from ESPN dot com. I'm reading this
straight from the site. ESPN's Tim McMahon says that, according
to his sources, the Mavericks plan to draft Cooper Flag
(07:29):
and will not trade the number one pick.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I did not see this comming, Dony. I'm totally blown away, so.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Am I And wait, hold on, I have some breaking
news about this too. According to my sources, the Dallas
Mavericks are saying internally that once they draft Cooper Flag,
they will sign him to a contract and then they
will expect him to be one of the twelve players
on their roster when next season begins.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Just great, saucing Tony, amazing.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
John, I got another one hit the sounder again. As
we all know, there's been a lot of speculation about
where Cooper Flag is gonna live while playing for the Mavericks,
and my sources is saying that he will indeed be
moving to Dallas.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
People were wondering will he stay in the dorms at
Duke University? Will he stay near his hometown of Newport, Maine.
My sources tell me he wants to be within driving
distance of the stadium instead of having to fly to
home games from another city.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Wow. Just amazing inside info that Tony. And well, now
to this Nick Celtics series just a total mess for Boston. Yeah, no,
star Jason Tatum injured his achilles in Game four and
then immediately went and had surgery the next day. How
many people are saying, well, that's because his season was
over anyway, But that's not what was going on. That
(08:59):
was clearly the wrong move the Tony, wasn't it.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
The Celtics should have followed the Lakers strategy from a
few years ago. Boston should have released a deadly virus
across the globe, just like the Lakers did, which would
effectively shut down the league and force the NBA to
move the playoffs to October or even later, when a
healthy and rejuvenated Jason Tatum would be rehabbed and ready
(09:23):
to face the Knicks and Game five and a large
conference room at Disney World. Just a very short sighted
move by the Celtics not to do that.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Just terrific basketball and also contagion analysis that Tony and
well to another basketball No, we must address the buckstar Giannis.
What hell? Anyway, he's reportedly open minded about a trade,
and Donny, when you break it down, there's really only
one clear destination for him, isn't there?
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Yup? The Minnesota timber Wolves.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
As we've mentioned on this show.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
You know, once or twice Anthony Edwards has openly bragged
about his allegedly huge penis. Well, you have to assume
that Giannis also has a huge penis. Can you imagine
if there was an NBA team just stacked with players
with huge penises, nobody would want to guard them closely
for fear of being grazed by one of those huge penises.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
And think about it.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
That called the timber Wolves giant wood timber It makes perfect.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Sense, makes perfect sense. I couldn't agree more that don't
He's just a perfect fit. You doing what.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
Well I said it last week. You know, you guys
have like this almost weird obsession with talking about NBA
players and their genitalia. Trust me, it's it's just becoming
too much.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Well too much is all. So what no woman's ever
said about your penis? Hell?
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Now? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, shut up?
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Shut up.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah. And by the way, you know, people they keep
asking why haven't we canned you? You know, if you
people out there have ideas on how you can produce
the show better, you know, go ahead, put a comment
in the YouTube. Tell us what you who knows we
might hire you to replace that useless idiot over there.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Yeah, you never know, so leave a comment.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Leave a comment. Yeah, I mean, we're not going to
read them. We're gonna tell him to read.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Yeah, he's gonna read.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Hopefully you'll learn something, probably not, but anyway, all right,
we're going to get into the big baseball Pete Rose
News very still. But first it's time for a word
from our newest advertisers, our good friends at Fresh Clean Threads.
You know, the best thing to wear is obviously an
Eagles jersey, But what do you do on that one
(11:53):
day every two weeks when your Eagles jersey is in
the wash? Well, we've got the perfect answer for you,
Clean Threads and Toty. You've got one of their shirts
on right now, don't you.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yeah, it's beneath my Eagles jersey. But let me show you.
This shirt is so fresh and so clean and so
soft that I'm even actually considering wearing it on days
when my Eagles jersey isn't in the wash.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
You know, I'm wearing mine too now, Tony, and I
love it. It's comfortable. But you know, I gotta say,
I do think it would be just slightly better if
you know it had a big number five, you know
right here?
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Maybe an Eagle glogo here, maybe one here. You know,
we'll have to thought we should people. I we'll talk
to the Fresh Clean Threads people about that. But for you,
you go now to Fresh Cleanthreads dot com and you
enter the promo code Bosco fifteen to get fifteen percent
off everything. That's a special deal for you. I'm gonna
(12:54):
repeat it just in case you aren't paying attention. You
go to Fresh Cleanthreads dot com. Yeah, and the promo
code Fusco fifteen for fifteen percent off your entire order.
And if you don't receive a discount, well that must
mean you're illiterate and you don't know how to type away.
So go now, yeah, okay, we're back from break, and
(13:19):
you know, we got to talk about this, toty. It's
a development in baseball. A lot of people saying this
was surprising, they didn't see it coming. Of course, we
totally saw it coming. Of course, beat Rose getting reinstated
by the commissioner. Now there's a lot to break down here,
So we're going to do it all right now in
a new segment we call Fusco Deep Dive. Fusco Deep Dive.
(13:43):
All right, the big story once again. Major League Baseball
announced that Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson are now
being reinstated and therefore can now be eligible for Hall
of Fame voting, even though they were previously banned due
to gambling on the game of baseball. Now, MLB Commissioner
Rob Manfred, he explained the reasoning here, all right. He
(14:05):
said that Pete Rose is dead and therefore quote is
no longer a threat to the integrity of the game.
And well, you know, as much as we are fans
of Pete Rose, it's not entirely true what Manfred is saying. Yeah,
you know, it's not true to say that Pete Rose
is no longer a threat to the game. That's right,
(14:26):
you know, not if.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
You believe in ghosts, which we both obviously do. You know,
there's still a very good chance Pete Rose can affect
the game from the afterlife. I mean, just last week,
I was watching a Reds game and the center fielder
was going back for a catch and the ball looked
like a surefire home run.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
But then the ball dropped right into his glove and
there was no wind.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
So you know, the only other explanation is ghost. You know,
like Pete Rose's ghost blue on the ball while it
was flying mid air.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I saw that. I'm just thinking the exact same thing, ghost.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 5 (15:08):
This show continues to hit new lows.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah, I'm gonna hit you.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
You talking.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
You seriously believe that outcomes of Major League Baseball games
are being affected by ghosts or the ghosts are even real?
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Uh, I'd be very careful about what you say, bro.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, I'd watch out, bro. I you know, I see
somebody shadow in that blurry background you got there behind you.
I'd be careful.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
That's a coat on a rack.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Hey, ghost, if you're there and can hear me, now,
please kill our producer take him to the afterlife with you.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I gotta say, Bro, that does look like some sort
of underworld demon. So yeah, it looks very murders you.
You know that's on you. That's on anyway, all right,
I just enough about that. Back to the story. You
know this comment by Rob Manfred about beat Rose, it's
really a game changer when you think about it. I mean,
what Manfred is saying is that when someone is dead, well,
(16:12):
they're no longer a threat, so you have to reevaluate
everything about them. Isn't that right, Tony?
Speaker 4 (16:18):
You know it makes you think about OJ.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
I mean, based on that logic, it sounds like we
should now rule OJ as not guilty because he's no
longer a threat.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
A threat you have to he's got to be.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
It's even more ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Oh, you're getting me.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
You know that shadow back there looks a lot like
oh j Yeah, it does.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
You know, OJ, if that is you, we could really
use your help right now. Yeah, do what you'll do best,
get back in the game.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
He's OJ.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Murder him, you can't prosecute in the afterlife, according to
Rob Manfred, so murder is legal for you.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Well, you know, Tony I'm looking at the monitor. I
do think OJ might be moving back there. Come closer
to a moja? Come on, yeah, come closer.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Where are these sound effects coming from? I'm not playing.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
It must be a ghost, bro. The afterlife must have
audio powers greater than yours. Well, everyone has audio powers
greater than yours, including in the afterlife.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Can we just wrap this episode so I can leave already?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
So now you think you run the show? Oh, I
see how it works.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
You know if you want to leave, go ahead, You'll
just walk toward that shadow behind you and you could
leave for eternity.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yep, bye bye. Now you're in the afterlife? Ghost?
Speaker 4 (17:44):
What is the corrections?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Can you just go? Already? Turning into the producer show what?
The ghosts are really pissed at you, bro, so just
go go.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
You said the Mavericks had an eighteen percent chance of
winning the lottery, Yeah, bro, very slim chance there, Bro,
you're missing a decimal. It was a one point eight
percent chance, not eighteen. That's why everybody thinks it's fixed.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Oh yeah, well you know what everybody wishes was fixed?
Your mom's uterus.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yeah, and you have one point eight percent of a
first grade ist Penis.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Right, I'm still talking.
Speaker 5 (18:30):
Way you said. The NC in NC seventeen stands for
North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Uh yeah, bro, common knowledge, bro, The.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
NC stands for no children as no children under seventeen admitted.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Oh yeah, well after the show, you're gonna be admitted
to the burn unit.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Actually, NC is what girls call you.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
No, oh, great one, Tony.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Oh and by the way, it's pronounced Jannis, not Giannis.
You don't pronounce the G.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Oh yeah, well, you know what you do. Pronounce the
G in ghost watch out, fuddy, You're gonna die. You're done, bro. Oh,

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
