Speaker 1 (00:04):
All right, right, damn into your life from Philly. It's
the number one rated Paulin and Tony Fools show.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Yo.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
As always, Pollie Fools go here with Tony Fools going,
Dony you show today. Here we are at the All
Star break. So much to talk about, you know, given
we have been talking about baseball in the show in
four months because early season baseball's ratings poison. We're also
gonna show you a list about Jalen Hearts and Patrick

(00:35):
Mahomes which must be seen to not be believed, exactly.
And we're also going to respond to some blowback we
got from you morons out there from our previous episode.
Don't worry, we're gonna hit all that we'll take care of.
We're talking about idiots, Tony before we get to that.
You know, some people they come up to us and
they ask us why our YouTube subscription numbers are so low. Yeah,

(00:56):
we're doing that on purpose. Yeah, fools, you don't know
how the media business exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
You people don't understand how anything works, So just shut
your mouths and listen.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Yeah, exactly, here will teach you how the business works.
See if we have too many subscribers, well that would
make us mainstream media. That's the worst thing you could
be in this business world. You know, we're going to
ask you, yeah, subscribe to the show. But if that
number gets too high, well we're going to have to
ask some of you to unsubscribe.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
We don't want to be part of that noway at all? Yeah,
people want the truth on this show. Will where about
to give it?

Speaker 2 (01:28):
So here we go.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Let's get right into a top story.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
I turned out the game, Tody.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Of course. The big story right now home run derby
winner cal Raley, the Mariners slugger, got thirty eight home
runs right now at the break.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
And this is just so great. Let's see, isn't it?

Speaker 2 (01:46):
One hundred percent?

Speaker 3 (01:47):
You know, this is putting him in the conversation with
so many legendary names like Barry Bonds, y'all, Sammy.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Sosaya, Mark McGuire.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
I mean, when you hear those names, what's the first
word that comes to mind?

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Home run runs exactly, And.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
You know what's so great, Like all the old school
baseball players, cal Rowley's got a nickname, Big Dumper, and
he got that because of the size of his butt,
which is apparently huge.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
I haven't looked, you know.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yeah, yeah, I haven't looked either.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yeah, but you know this is clearly the big butt,
clearly must be the secret to home run hitting.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Don't you'll think so, Dony. Of course, just look at
Babe Ruth. He was one of the great lawd asses
of our time. You know, when I look at Bryce Hoffer,
I'm gonna be honest, I'm concerned about the size of
his ass.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
It's too small, you know.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Meanwhile, Kyle Schwarber's got more of a full round ass,
you know, according to my sources. I haven't looked myself,
of course, you know, but you know, we need to
get all the Phillies players asses, nice and lotty and
plump if we're gonna win the World Series.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Great analysis, Dony, all around. And you know we're on
the subject to home runs. We got to address that
pathetic excuse for a home run derby, Donty. You know,
the people saying that was good terrible to three of
those guys could hit home runs.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
The other ones like chas On that.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
He can't hit, No, he can't. We've been saying this
for years.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
There's an easy way to improve the home run derby
for everyone.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Steroids.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
You know, why can't all the players just take steroids
for one day?

Speaker 4 (03:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (03:28):
I mean when you go to the dentist and they
inject you with the novacine, that doesn't last eight months, It.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Just lasts a few hours.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
So can't we just give play as a steroid that
lasts for like three or four hours and everyone would
be cranking home runs even just chasm.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
A great idea that, Donty.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
And you know another thing that we see every year
that the noise the hell out of me. People they
come out and they complain because the All Star Game
decides home field advantage for the World Series. Yeah, I
don't get the problem at Donny. You know, people say
that nothing should be on the line. Personally, I think
not enough is on the line, don't.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
You know exactly Personally, I've always thought the All Star
Games should count as Game one of the World Series.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
Think about how huge that would be.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
You know, then the All Star Game will really matter
because it won't be the All Star Game, it'll be
the World Series.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Great point Downy, And as you know, I've always maintained
that the Pro Bowl should count as the first half
of the Super Bowl. That way, everyone would want to
watch the Pro Bowl because it's the Super Bowl, and well,
the Super Bowl would be more exciting because instead of
the game starting zero zero, you know, boring, the game
would start forty eight to forty two.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
That would be musty TV out the gate totally. And
the NBA All Star Game two. The NBA season is
already way too long. I've always said they should replace
the Finals with the All Star Game. This way, the
season would be over in February because nobody.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
Even remembers who won the finals. Anyway, I don't remember,
do you hold on, Donty, it's coming to me. Oh yeah, just.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
The Nuggets, the Nuggets. Yeah, that sounds right, that sounds right, yep, yep,
the Nuggets won.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
But that just shows the problem that Donty, you see exactly,
it's almost like ten seconds to remember they yeah, exactly. Anyway, Okay, well,
you know another thing that people always complained about with
the MLB All Star Game.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
Back to that.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
You know, they don't like how the American League and
National League wear special uniforms for the game, and they
want to go back to when you know, every player
would wear the uniform for their own team. But I
always found that confusing, didn't you Tony totally.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
I mean I would watch those games and think, are
all thirty teams playing each other?

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Right?

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Now?

Speaker 3 (05:45):
How come the Astros get to have five players on
their team but the Brewers only get to have two? Yeah,
and why are the Mets and Phillies players trying to
help each other?

Speaker 1 (05:54):
It never made any sense, never made any sense, don'ty know? Yeah, yeah,
two uniform that's all you need to do. Much easier
to follow, so dumb anyway, talking about things we're closely following,
don'ty Of course, you know, the All Star Game was
just the second biggest event in baseball this week. Of course,
the biggest was the MLB Draft. You know, we look
forward to it every year, you know, because what do

(06:16):
we always say is the problem with drafts in other
sports not enough round exactly.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
You know, finally we have a draft with twenty rounds.
That's quadruple the entertainment. It was just so exciting to
watch it live and know that one out of every
three hundred of those plays getting drafted might have a
chance of playing in the big leagues in the next
five to fifteen years.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
And you know, you think about the immediate impact, Dony,
that this is going to have on so many themes.
I mean not major league teams, but you know, like
no tree porton exactly so much stake, so much at stake,
But we don't have find the dig at all. No, no,
we just we got to keep moving on that. But
you know why we discussed that thing from the lost
our weekend. We still have not discussed the game itself, Tony.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Your thoughts, I didn't watch, you know, I went to
see Superman, but you know I went to the bathroom
during all.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
The woke parts. So did you watch the game?

Speaker 4 (07:16):
No, of course not. No, Yeah, anyway, doesn't that anyway?

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, on the subject of games that don't matter, we
got to throw our attention to this NBA Summer League, Tony,
where they Dallas Mavericks have shut down Cooper Flag in
order to maintain his load management for the rest of
the year. And well, Downy, you hear that this isn't
the only big move coming out of summer league.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
Isn't that right?

Speaker 3 (07:38):
No, my sources tell me the Lakers are planning on
shutting down Bronnie James for the next three seasons, again
just for load management. Doctors say it's in the best
interest of Bronnie and the viewers just to play it
safe and keep him off the court.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Just a huge but also completely expected development that Donny
and well now of the NFL. You see this, a
survey of NFL scouts and gms ranked the top ten
lbs in the league and put Patrick Mahomes at number
one and Jalen Hurts all the way down.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
At number nine.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Believa, and you know, Tony, at first we wanted to
dismiss this list, you know, full stop.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
But then you saw it another way, didn't you?

Speaker 2 (08:23):
I did?

Speaker 3 (08:23):
You know, I realized that instead of just ignoring opinions
that I don't agree with, a better approach would be
to get inside the mind of the VODA. So I
realized the best way to do that was to shove
my own head up my own ass. And when I
did that, everything suddenly made sense. You know, the list

(08:44):
was upside down. And that's when I realized they didn't
put Jalen ninth, they put him second.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
I do still need to figure out why they had
Baker Mayfield first on the list, But I had to
stop because my next started to hurt and smelled really bad.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
Oh, but just what a stunning commitment though the journalism
that Dony and well, staying on this general subject, you know,
there's a lot of anger in Kansas City right now
because his local radio host, Kevin Gatesman, he's under fire
for calling Patrick Mahomes fat, Tony, your thoughts.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
Now, I didn't hear the take, so I first need
to ask this question. Are people sure he was talking
about Patrick Mahomes or was he talking about Patrick Mahomes's
wife and more specifically, her brand new, allegedly enhanced bosoms. Now,
if that's the case, I agree that using the word

(09:40):
fat was highly inappropriate. A much better and more delicate
way to describe them would be huge or volumptuous or
bodacious or pillow like or you know, Mama Mia, look
at those torpedoes, but calling them fat, that's just crass, crass.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
I'm glassless, Dony.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Absolutely totally terrific breakdown there and well to other NFL
news Kilby News Bears quarterback Caleb Williams continue to stun
fans now with images he posted on social media of
him wearing a huge flower in his hair, yeah, and
also painting his fingernails blue.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
Dondy, what's your analysis here?

Speaker 3 (10:21):
You know, I can see why this is confusing for
football fans because usually we see this type of behavior
out of a receiver. You know, it seems maybe Caleb
Williams is trying to tell us that he doesn't want
to throw the balls, but rather receive the balls, you know,
or maybe he'll just go both ways.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
We'll just have to wait and see.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
Terrific analysis that, Dony.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
And finally, you know, we must take this dime to
honor the cancelation of one of the shows, one of
the great sports doc shows in the business.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Of course, we're talking.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
About Speak Surprisingly Gainstell. Despite having what we have to admit, Dony,
you know, they did have some of the best takes
in the whole business, you know, specifically from former Eagle
Lashan McCoy.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
Just quality analysis.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
And uh, just to prove it, let's play one of
the great clips from the show. This was his analysis
of Dak Prescott.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
First of all, Doug's as.

Speaker 4 (11:16):
Right, can I say on TV you want okay?

Speaker 1 (11:21):
I frankly Tony, I just got to tip my cap.
I can't do better than that. You know, he nailed it,
full stop.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Nothing.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Just such a shame they canceled the show. Such quality
analysis like up anyway, Well, talking about more quality analysis,
we do have more for you, and uh, we're going
to address some blowback we got to last week's show,
and we're going to do that right after the break.
We all know the worst part about having clothing, lawn, dawndry.
There you go, Well, what if you never had to

(11:48):
do laundry again? Well, there's one simple way by there
you go. That's why you got to hit up our sponsor,
Fresh Clean Threads. Isn't that right, Tony?

Speaker 3 (11:59):
I haven't done my laundry in two years, and that's
all because I bought eight hundred shirts from Fresh Clean Threads.
This shirt is comfortable, looks great, feels soft, and best
of all, I'm saving money by not having to buy
laundry detergent. I don't even know how to use a

(12:22):
laundry machine. Yep, thank you Fresh Clean Threads.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Anyway, go to Fresh Cleanthreads dot com right now, enter
the promo code FUSCO fifteen and get fifteen percent.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
Off your entire order.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
You're welcome.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
All right, we're back from break. You know, we got
some blowback the last week's show. You know, people said
we chickened out when talking about Jake Baul.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
No, that's not what happens at all. That's what you
morons believed.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
You know. Last week, as we reported, you know, Jake
Paul was suing that annoying British guy, Piers Morgan for
saying that Jake Ball's fights are rigged. And as you remember,
before giving his take, Tony called his lawyer to make
sure he wouldn't get sued if he talked about it
and said the fights were rigged. Well, it was your
lawyer who chickened out.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
Wasn't actoly exactly.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
He hung up the phone all scared, and then he
called me back later and he said he was going
to sue me. The idiot, idiot, don't worry, I fired him,
and I got a better lawyer, yep.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
And our new lawyer better lawyer told us that we
can say anything we want about Jake Paul just.

Speaker 4 (13:56):
As long as we use the word allegedly, right, don't.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
That's journalism one O one.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
As long as you say allegedly, you're safe, exactly.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
So that's why we're gonna do a new segment on
the show right now where we report everything we've heard
and nobody can sue us for it. It's a new
segment called allegedly.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
Allegedly.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Okay, So now, Dony, tell us what you've been hearing
about Jake Paul.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
Well, my sources tell me that Jake Paul's fight against
Julio Seesar Chavez was one hundred percent rigged, and that
after Chavez lost, he wanted to have a rematch where
they fought for real, So Jake Paul called Ice and
had him deported allegedly allegedly. And well, what else did
you heard downy I also heard that when Jake Paul

(14:44):
fought Mike Tyson, that fight was supposed to look more
realistic and not so obviously rigged.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
But what happened was Jake Paul actually shit.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
His pants in the ring, and that's why Mike Tyson
wouldn't go anywhere near him because it smelled so bad.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Allegedly, exactly, allegedly. This is just so informative, Tony. You
know anything else you want to share?

Speaker 3 (15:08):
Yeah, you know many people don't know this, but the
whole reason behind Jake Paul's boxing career is that he's
trying to make up for the fact that he has
a penis that is so small that it makes our
producers look like a banion tree. Allegedly, but you know,
I actually don't believe that one myself, because nobody can
have a smaller penis than our producer.

Speaker 4 (15:29):
No, no, scientific it's because he's angry.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Look at him. Now, Look he's angry. He's angry at
how good that segment was. Anyway, I hope you do
get sued. It might be by me. Oh well, I'm
going to sue you for your face. Yeah, now shut up. Anyway,
that wraps our segment, and you know what, that wraps
the whole show.

Speaker 4 (15:52):
That Dody just a terrific job. As always. Don't forget
to visit our sponsor. Oh yeah, what you cadn't what
are you going?

Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yeah, we're gonna sue you for interrupting corrections.

Speaker 4 (16:06):
What God, you.

Speaker 5 (16:08):
Both actually forget who won the NBA Finals this year?

Speaker 2 (16:13):
No, it was the Nuggets.

Speaker 5 (16:14):
Yeah, the Nuggets won it in twenty twenty three. Clearly
you didn't watch three seconds of the finals.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Oh yeah, well you know what final I want to
watch your final breath?

Speaker 3 (16:30):
Yeah, and two seconds is how I would describe your
mom at an all you can eat buffe.

Speaker 4 (16:36):
Oh great, and I shut up.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
I'll still go when what you said?

Speaker 5 (16:43):
There's a minor league baseball team called the Shreveport Barnstormers.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Great team, bro, big fan, Bro.

Speaker 5 (16:51):
There's actually no professional baseball team in Shreveport right now
at all. That's just a fictional team. You clearly made
up to act like you knew anything about minor league baseball.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Oh yeah, well I'm going to dump your dead body
in a lake and make sure nobody reshrieves it.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
Yeah, and you want to know what else is fictional?
Your girlfriend? O? Great one, shut up? What goes jizz Chazzle?

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (17:25):
So okay, so his.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Name is jazz Chisel. Come on, you should know that.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
Uh you want to handle this one, donty my pleasure.
He has had to describe your sex life and two
words Yankee jizz.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
You want two words.

Speaker 4 (17:48):
To describe the end of the show.
