Speaker 1 (00:00):
The following content does not reflect the opinions of Fox
Sports Radio. If you find this content to be foolish
or embarrassing, well that's because it is.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
All right, all right, yo, I'm into your life from Philly.
It's the don't Know what rated Polly and Tony full
Scoll show.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Yo.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
As always Polly fools go here with Donty fos go
and Doty huge shout that day.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
You know, let's go.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
The problem with the mainstream media is totally exposed to sweek, Donty.
You know, they know negativity cells, right, so when the
Eagles lose, it's all negativity exactly, the terrible bad We'll
tell you why the Eagles losing was great for everybody,
and you should be danking the Eagles plus the chiefs
and crisis and because we're positive people, you know, we'll

(00:54):
tell you ways they can fix their broken overrated, terrible
excuse for a franchise.

Speaker 5 (00:59):
You know, this is what Philly's all about, people helping
people and brotherly love.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Exactly, and talking about that, Dony. That's why you out there. Yeah,
you right now, wake up. If you haven't rated or
reviewed this show on Apple or like to subscribed, then
you know you're part of the problem.

Speaker 5 (01:17):
Right, No, exactly, shape up. We're looking at our review
numbers and if they don't go up, that's on you.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Not us, exactly, are you? And get the work? Okay, yeah,
let's go. We already have enough people not working and
trying to bring our show down like a producer back then, Infidel.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah. Anyway, enough with that, let's get right into our
top story. All right, First, out.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
The gate, the Chase in total free fall after losing
to the Cowboys, now six and six on the season.
And you know, Tony, we said this a couple of
weeks ago. The problem for the chiefs is clearly inflation.
You know, the bribes that they used to give these reps.
They're just not going as far as they used to write.
Don't no, they're really not.

Speaker 5 (02:01):
And you know, I spoke to several refs inside the
league and they told me that back in twenty twenty,
you could buy a defensive pass interference call or roughing
the passer call for just one hundred bucks. But now,
due to inflation, one hundred dollars only gets you a
neutral zone infraction or an encroachment penalty.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
That's not even an automatic first.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Down just very tough times for all the cheating teams
out there, Dony. And well, you know, talking about the
Chiefs that coach Andy Reid was asked what his team
will do to get back to winning, and he said, quote,
We're going to tickle your tonsils on every play. Now, Tony,
people are trying to make sense of what this quote means.

(02:45):
What's your take?

Speaker 4 (02:46):
Well, it all depends on who's playing defense.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
I guess.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
You know, if it's just your regular.

Speaker 5 (02:52):
NFL linebackers, then you know, that'll be pretty intimidating. But
you know, if it's guys like Carl NeSSI, boh, even
Michael Sam or you know, even Elton John, then that
strategy might actually backfire. I mean they might actually look
forward to playing the Chiefs.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
You know, I can see that now, Tony, now that
you're putting it that way, jump, thank you? WHOA hold
on just a moment, Donny, something just came across the
wire related to the chase.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Hey hit that breaking nose?

Speaker 2 (03:26):
All right, don This headline just came across from Yahoo Sports.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
I'm reading it, Dony.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
It says Chiefs tight and Travis Kelcey reacts to pregnancy announcement. Wow.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Are Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift having a baby.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Well, that's what I thought, Tony, But I'm reading this
article now, I'm scrolling down.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
I don't see that yet.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
Oh wait, I see, I see Patrick Mahomes and Britney
Mahomes are having a baby.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Not that either, Tony, Wait, who is it?

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Then?

Speaker 1 (03:59):
I scrolled down to the fifth paragraph.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
Here it says Pat McAfee's wife, Samantha is having the baby.
And you see Travis kelcey left a comment on the
ig post that Pat McAfee posted saying let's go congratulations.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
Wait so wait, so Travis Kelsey pat McAfee's wife and
now she's pregnant.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Between the headline and what I'm reading here, Doty, that
certainly looks like that could be the case there.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
I mean, what a story.

Speaker 4 (04:33):
Wow, this would be a huge bombshell.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
That is just a huge, huge turn of events that Dody.
We'll keep an eye out for any further development. So
that's all break in those While we're talking Chiefs. Also,
we got to mention this Chief's president, Mark Donovan. He
was on with Gay Adams. He told her that he
said to Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift that he would
not monetize their relationship, meaning he wouldn't do anything, you know,

(05:00):
try and make money off of it, and you know,
play songs in the stadium all that. That's so great
to see, right, Donny. It really is a breadth of
fresh air.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
You know.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
That's the problem with sports and media these days is
that everyone's just grabbing that money.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
It's you know, it's just sick, Tony. And that's why
we want to do our pot, you know, to help
reverse this terrible trend. That's why this month we are
releasing limited edition Fusco branded shirts, mugs, and hats that
say stop monetizing everything.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Ye. You can show everyone how tired you are of
this corporate money grab by buying these shirts and letting
people know you are done with monetization. Yeah. And on
the back it's as proudly purchased at the Fusco Show
merch store, you know. That way people know where it
came from and then they can go buy it themselves,
you know. And by the way, while you're at the
merch store, we are please to announce twenty percent off

(05:53):
everything until or through December seventh. So there you go.
You know what a better way to stay against monetization, Tony,
then paying less than full price for scriffing, you know,
point the exactly. Yeah, all right, Dom, let's move to
the Cowboys. You know, people are saying, these fools that
Dak should be in MVP consideration this season.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Please, are they looking at the same.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Doc stats that I'm seeing, Because correctly I'm looking at
these stats.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
I mean, he's clearly as bad as he was last year.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
He is.

Speaker 5 (06:25):
All you have to do is look at the stats
and you'll see that Dak is on a clear downward slide.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
Put up that graphic.

Speaker 5 (06:33):
First of all, what's the most important stat for every
QB into secessions? Of course, last year he threw eight interceptions.
This year he's thrown eight and the season is not
even over, yep. And then what's the second most important
stat for a QB rushyards per horse? It is Last

(06:57):
year Dak was at four point two and this year
a dismal three point zero. And then you may say, well,
he's a QB. Shouldn't it be all about passing?

Speaker 4 (07:09):
Okay? And what's the most important passing stat intended per
attempt of yours?

Speaker 5 (07:17):
Everybody knows that it's not important how many yards you
actually throw, No, but how many yards you intended to throw.
And Dak was intending to throw seven point nine yards
per tenth last year, but this year that's down to
a poultry seven point five.

Speaker 4 (07:38):
So as you can see, he's sliding backwards.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
Just great statistical analysis.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
O god, are you kidding me?

Speaker 1 (07:46):
What are you doing? Why?

Speaker 4 (07:49):
Why?

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Those comparisons make no sense?

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yet there a moron like you.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
Yeah, numbers never lie.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
Bro, You had to do because everyone knows Dak got
injured last year. That's why his interception numbers were low.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Oh yeah, well guess who's getting injured this year?

Speaker 2 (08:09):
You?

Speaker 4 (08:10):
Yeah, you want to see a low number? Measure your penis?
Oh shut up, go do that, Yeah, trying to ruin
the show, yeah, infidel.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah, let's move to the Eagles. There are haters out there,
like our producer back there for anyway, they're saying that
it was a bad week for the Eagles because they
lost to the Bears after coming off a loss to
the Cowboys. But these people they're not seeing the big picture, are.

Speaker 5 (08:37):
They No, they're not seeing the bigger picture. It was
a bad week for all birds. The Ravens lost. Your
cardinals lost too, and also millions of turkeys lost, you know,
their lives last week and we're eating. So when you
think about it that way, you know, the Eagles had

(08:58):
a pretty good week.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Just need some.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
Perspective, exactly.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
I have some perspective people, And you know we said
it last week. You can't be great in this world
unless you have what Tony adversity. In fact, the more
adversity you have, the better, Isn't that right?

Speaker 5 (09:17):
I was just saying that the other day. Look at
the science guy in the wheelchair, Stephen King. Think of
all the science he discovered and all the horror books
he wrote, you know, just an incredible amount of output.
But he wouldn't have done that if you know, he
was able to go play volleyball or you know, walk
down the street. But thanks to the fact that he

(09:37):
had no properly functioning body parts and that we had
kind of screenfaced, he was able to discover things like
out of space, which people didn't even know was there.
So that shows you why adversity is good. And it's
actually good that the Eagles are losing.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
And it just makes perfect sense when you lay it
all out like that. Dony just such a great perspective.
And you know, on the subject of perspective, you said
something the other day, Doughty that was just so profound, remember,
you know, especially during this holiday scenes, Yeah, you tell
the people.

Speaker 5 (10:10):
I was thinking, how come when people give away charity
to the needy for the holidays, it's seen as good,
But when football teams give away wins to needy football teams,
it's seen as bad. The Bears and Cowboys are some
of the most needy, desperate, said pathetic franchises out there,
and they need wins from teams that can afford to

(10:33):
give them up. Philly is all about brotherly love and
people should be thanking us for being so kind to
those in need. Frankly, shame on the Patriots for continuing
to hog all those wins.

Speaker 4 (10:46):
Just shameful behavior.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Just shameful behavior.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Hey, you know, people come out Eagles fans for booing
Santa Claus. Well, when was the last time Santa Claus
ever delivered a win for a football day?

Speaker 4 (10:58):
Never?

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Never?

Speaker 2 (10:59):
Never, So you know, when you put it that way, well,
the Eagles, well they're better than Santa Claust And well,
Sander's kind of been exposed as.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
A fraud you know, total fraud yep.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
And now moving across the state to the Steelers who
lost to the Bills. And you know, after the game,
Aaron Rodgers was asked about Mike Donlin's bad coaching and
Aaron Rodgers snacked back at the reporter saying it was
a leading question and he wasn't going to answer it. Tony,
I totally support Aaron Rodgers here, don't you.

Speaker 5 (11:26):
One hundred percent? You know, reporters have been very rude
to Aaron Rodgers lately. They have no right to ask
him questions like what's wrong with your coach? Or also
where is your wife? You know, why has nobody ever
met her? You know, why is there no record or
documentation of her ever existing? Yep, those types of questions

(11:47):
are totally out of line.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Totally out of line just because we agree more than Tony.
And well, now let's move to Shader Sanders and the Browns.
You know, after the Browns lost to the forty nine
is twenty six to eight, you know, the hey is
well they come out of it would work, you know,
saying it was a bad look for shadur you know,
but that's just because the media is just so negative.

Speaker 5 (12:08):
Aren't they Again, the media is putting their own negative
spin on everything.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (12:13):
First of all, the Browns clinched on Sunday. Yep, Sure
they clinched a losing season, but that's still clinching.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
Yeah. Did the media report on that? No, No, of
course not.

Speaker 5 (12:25):
And also, the Browns locked up a top spot, you know,
and next year's NFL Draft, But that's still a top start,
top spot. And of course the media conveniently ignored that too.
And also so many great teams have lost to the
forty nine ers yep, John Elways, Broncos, Boomerasaia Sin's Bengals.

(12:47):
So basically, don't let the media's negative spin fool you.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Exactly, just some much needed perspective there by you, Tony.
And you know, while we're talking about the forty nine
ers dull. You know, last week on this show, as
we all do, we tell you things before they happen. Well,
we said the forty nine ers should go out and
sign former commander's kicker Matt Gay because Gay would be
a great fit with the San Francisco culture. Well, sure

(13:12):
enough they went out and signed them, and well, you know,
we really got to commend the forty nine ers here,
don't we, Donty. They really seem to be understanding their
fan base, don't you.

Speaker 5 (13:20):
The forty nine ers are doing a great job of
playing to the San Francisco fan base.

Speaker 4 (13:26):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (13:26):
You know they signed the kicker Matt Gay. You know,
they have a quarterback, a man named Purdy. You know,
they have one of the greatest tight ends ever. And
they play in Levi Stadium. And you know, while jorde
Ash might have been a slightly better fit, Levi's is
very close.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
Great analysis that, Tony, And you know, while I'm thinking
about this, I'm wondering, wouldn't Andy Reid be a great
coach in San Francisco?

Speaker 1 (13:54):
I mean, based on.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
That, the whole thickling at Donsills, absolutely that would go
over very well in San Francisco.

Speaker 4 (14:01):
Get the fan base really worked up. Yep.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Well, don't be surprised if you see Andy Reid heading
there after the season. Anyway you're talking about heading, Tony,
We're going to be heading to a new segment after this,
where we're going to deal with some a terrible problem
that's going on on the internet in our society. But
before that, we're heading to a break and some money.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
For us we'll be right back. All right, we're back
from break. Okay.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
So last week we had a clip called mega viral,
as they say in the business. You know, happens every
week for this show, but you know, very rare for
other shows. Anyway, we were reacting to the Eagles so
called loss to the Cowboys, and we explained why it
was not a loss for the Eagles, it was more
a bad look for the Cowboys.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Go ahead and play that clip.

Speaker 5 (14:46):
What people are forgetting is that football is a job, yep,
and football teams are workplaces.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (14:53):
The Cowboys offense showed up to work late, while the
Eagles offense showed up on time, all the work done early,
and then took a much deserved rest. Meanwhile, the lazy,
entitled Dallas Cowboys procrastinated, barely got their work done in time,
and now they're celebrating that.

Speaker 4 (15:14):
Shame on them. That's unprofessional workplace behavior.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (15:18):
They don't deserve a win. They don't even deserve to
keep their jobs. If you ask me, couldn't agree more, Tony. Okay,
all makes total sense, right, Tony. You know, we started
to get these comments that were coming up, you know,
saying the bad day dumb, stupid, all this stuff. And
you know, people were coming up to us and saying,
what's with these people? Don't they understand football? And well

(15:41):
we said to them, we said, they're not people. You see,
they're bots.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
You know that's how we internet works, right, you post
these videos, the bots come out of the woodwork. I mean,
we all know this is what other countries are trying
to do to tear America about. Well, you know, we
thought dumb, because you know, we're leaders, thought it is
that we would take the time to educate you, the audience,
so you understand what a bot tweet looks like.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
You know what AI looks like.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
So you know, on this show, we usually do hot
take hotline, where we take your comments and your calls
and all that.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
This week we're going to do bot take botline. All right,
all right, so this is going to work.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
We told our usually useless producer back there to go
and pick some comments that he found on some of
our social clips on our Instagram and TikTok there. Uh,
and what we're gonna do is we're gonna show you
why these comments were clearly written by bots and AI. Okay, so, producer,
which one did you pick first there, all right?

Speaker 3 (16:47):
From Instagram user jorgey g z mt. He writes, is
this AI? Because I don't think a human being can
be this dumb?

Speaker 2 (16:56):
All right? See, first of all, that clearly sounds like
A said, what's the first side of AI? They hate
human beings exactly, So that's an attack on humans.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
You see that, all humans, not just us, all humans.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
And you could see, tony, why producer picked that one first?

Speaker 4 (17:13):
Right?

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Why did he pick that one?

Speaker 4 (17:14):
Because he's a bot. He's a bot, he's a bot.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Two all right, go ahead, he's a real Oh okay,
then read another one, go.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
Right, next one from t Y Nitty seven five seven.
He rights, you only sound smart to dumb people. You
said a bunch of nonsense.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
Oh well, first of all, that might actually be a human.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Yeah, that's a that's a dumb human person exactly because
he's telling us that he knows what dumb people think.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
So take one. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
That's why our producer chose that one because he's dumb.
Due he's also dumb, so he didn't he doesn't know,
so he know he's two for two.

Speaker 4 (17:51):
All right, go, that's the.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
Fine. From Evan dot Wesley. I would say something, but
fifty two of Philadelphi can't read.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
Well, I can read that comment, and Paulie can read
that comment, so that's one hundred.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
Raw.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah, that's what you see. There is this kind of
disinformation you'll see on the internet. Right, that's what these
these bots are doing in these Russians, what they're doing,
They're saying things that just are in trouble.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
You never never trust anything you read.

Speaker 4 (18:27):
All right, exactly, all right, what's the next one.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
From gauge underscore g leg You're the biggest dumb ass
I have ever heard?

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Now? Are you sure that was a comment on our clip?
Or was that from your email inbox? You know, possibly
sent by your dad?

Speaker 4 (18:45):
Exactly? How do we know that's not from you?

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Yeah? Can you talk?

Speaker 4 (18:51):
See but the box for all body?

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Now he's upsetted us.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
Good, let's just get out of it.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
Good because we don't you a lesson?

Speaker 4 (19:00):
Do you see a lesson? Close it up?

Speaker 2 (19:02):
You don't believe what you rate online now and also
don't listen to bots like our producer. That exactly there
we go, you know, close up the bot take bot line. Yeah,
you go your education and you know, Donny, that was
just such a what we did in this show. We
really educated the people. Yeah, we just saved this country.
Really a terrific show.

Speaker 4 (19:20):

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (19:39):
You get quick.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
You justified the Eagles loss to the Bears because it
was a bad week for all birds.

Speaker 5 (19:47):
Yeah, Bro, Raven's lost, millions of turkeys died. Terrible week. Bro,
you have some perspective, Bro, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
You're the one that needs perspective. You're conspicuously omitting the
fact that the Seahawks beat the Vikings and seahawks are birds.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Oh yeah, well, I can't wait to see someone Tama
hawk you to death.

Speaker 4 (20:11):

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.
