Speaker 1 (00:02):
Kill them music kill How many times have we told
you you don't.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Come up with upbeat music when you're coming in.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
On a down though, you know, when he's clearly a
Knicks fan. That's why he's a born loser.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yeah exactly, there you go down anyway, you know, Right
moving on, Pauli Foods go, Tony Fools go, YadA YadA.
Ask you know the Sixers got swept by the Knicks,
and you're probably thinking this was a disaster for Philly
and makes us look bad. That's because you're a sheep
brainwashed by the lying media.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
You know, you're literally about to find out your whole
life is a lie.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah exactly, we're gonna tell you that and another lie.
You know, people are saying Lebron has no chance to
win a title anymore. We'll tell you why he's actually
got his best chance in years. But talking about lies,
Tony one quick thing partners at Fox Sports Radio, who
know nothing, They showed us this data from Spotify and Apple.
I don't believe it, but it showed that most people
(01:02):
skip this part of the show right now when we're
talking and telling you to hit like and subscribe and follow, right, Keel,
this is why if this is true, this is why
you people out there are just dumb because if your
present skip, well, clearly you have time to hit buttons.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
You know, you just got called out.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
You probably send there in your car right now, embarrassed
by yourself, embarrassing for you.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah, you know, so you fix that right now, and
you know.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
It's also embarrassing all the people out there saying we
were wrong for predicting that the Sixers would win the
NBA title. Well, that's incorrect, and we're going to show
you why we are right about a lot of things.
In fact, that's why right now we're gonna do the
segment where we go over everything we got right.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
You know, it's time.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
It's one of our most populous Everybody loves it. Everybody
loves it. Where Pollie and Tony were right, where Paulie
and Tony were right.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Okay, so the first thing we got to address there. Up.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
You see this Knicks player, idiot, Josh HoTT, came out
and he said that, to me, Philly is not a
sports town. And he said that because at the Sixers
home games during the playoffs, there were more Knicks fans
in the stands than Sixers fans. He said that show
the Sixers fans don't care about the team.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Wrong, wrong, jummy.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
There's a much more obvious explanation, isn't that donting?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Of course I crunched the numbers here. You see, the
cheapest ticket for a Sixes home game was one hundred
and sixty five dollars, and the train from New York
to Philly and back is about thirty dollars, so that's
one hundred and ninety five dollars total. Meanwhile, the average
rent in New York for an apartment in Manhattan is
(02:47):
currently seven thousand dollars. That breaks down to two hundred
and thirty three dollars per day. So you see, if
people in New York want shelter and a place to
sit and eat, it's actually cheaper for them to take
the train down to Philly and go to the game
than it is to try and rent an apartment in
(03:08):
New York.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
So this just shows Knicks.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Fans weren't there to support the team, but just there
to gets some much needed shade and air conditioning.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
So there you go. Explains everything, Tony.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Just incredible monetary and also societal analysis there.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
By hundred percent, and you know.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
What it also shows, Tony is that we need to
keep these Knicks fans out of our home games.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Yeah, you know, and there's a clear answer two words.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
FANMN fraud legislation, one hundred percent right. This is why
I am calling on our politicians and all our security
guards to pass fan ID legislation. Before a game, each
fan should be forced to prove that they're a real
Sixers fan by providing their home address and a recent
(03:55):
utility bill.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
It's only fair, Yep, it's only fair. Anyway to the
next topic.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Where Pauli and Tony were right.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
All right, the more dumb combins from the haters after
the Sixers got swept and then fired that President Daryl Moury,
These these more runs came out saying the Sixers blew
their shot at winning a title this year.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Please. Yeah, I think these people are getting ahead of themselves.
I'm way ahead to me.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
The Sixers are clearly still in title contention. I mean,
if the Thunder win the title, well that's all because
of the Sixers, isn't it, Dony.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Clearly the Thunder mostly the Sixers. We drafted Jared McCain
and Isaiah Joe and then gave them to the Thunder.
So you know, Darryl Moury showed he can build a
championship roster, you know, just with another team. And let's
not forget who drafted SGA in twenty eighteen. Well, of
(04:52):
course that was the Hornets at number eleven. But who
had the number ten pick in that draft? That's right,
it was the six You're up one hundred percent, and
we knew SGA needed to be not on the Sixers,
you know, which just shows how good Darryl Morey was
at helping players find the right fit. And you know
(05:15):
you have to remember too, SGA also lost the MVP
in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
To who did he lose it to?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Joe l Embiid of course, Well that clearly told SGA
that he needed to be better at basketball. So you know,
to all of Oklahoma, you're welcome.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, you're welcome. Anyway, to our next one where Paully
and Dony were right. All right, while we're talking about drafting,
we've said over and over that the problem with the
Sixers isn't which players they're drafting, but which doctors.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Isn't that right? Though? One hundred percent?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
This was yet another disappointing performance by head team physician
and lead or theip eats milititis h Zagonis MD. He
clearly did nothing to fix all of Joe l Embi's
ten different ligament issues. You know, this just shows we
really need to do a better job scouting prospects out
(06:14):
of medical school.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
And I just looked this up.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
You know where this doctor Sigonis went to medical school?
Albany Medical College. Wow, guess where Albanie is?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
New York job.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
So clearly the fix was in, or I guess the
fix wasn't in because he didn't fix anything.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Just astounding journalism that Dony and died. Well, now to
our next.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
One where Paul and Tony were right.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
All right, staying on the same topic.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
People are saying that the Sixers process didn't work because
it's taken too long and the Sixers haven't won a
title since the process started, you know, thirteen fifteen years ago,
whatever it's been. So what this doesn't mean the process
isn't working right down exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
If you know anything about processes, then you would know
the best processes always take a long time, you know,
like the wine process. Do you drink a bottle of wine?
That's only thirteen years old. No, only if you're a
cave man. What do you think You just squeeze a
grape and then suddenly it's a cabinet or a mellot
(07:25):
of course, not you unsophisticated pig.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
And you know what about the human creation process?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
You just want a human being to stop growing after
thirteen years? Yeah, only if you want the entire world
to be some own biles have fun never going on
a roller coaster.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Exactly, you know, I bet all these morons bashing the
Sixers right now must be five feet.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Dollar un exactly.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Anyway, all right, next up where Pauli and Tony were right?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, another thing, just we need to point out here
this stupid playoff schedule.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
What was that?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I mean, there's an obvious reason by the Sixers lost
to the Knicks mothers to this day.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Of course, you could just tell.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
The Sixers were clearly worrying all week about what gifts
to get for their moms, and in that last game
on Sunday, they obviously felt terrible being on that court
and not at their mom's dining room table. Meanwhile, the
Knicks clearly don't care about their mothers, their anti mom
(08:29):
all those games. They clearly only cared about basketball and
not their sweet, poor old moms who carried them in
their wombs for nine months. And what did those sweet
selfless moms get. They got to be ignored on Mother's Day.
So shame on the Knicks. You want a title so bad,
here's your title. Worst sons ever, Absolutely shameful behavior by them,
(08:55):
just despicable.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
You know, my heart breaks for all those moms. And
right next up where Pauli and Doni were right, another
thing we got to say. You know, like most people,
we thought this series would go seven games. Yeah, yeah,
that's not because of how the team stacked up. It's
because of New York mayors Zoe hand Mam Donnie exactly.
I thought this guy was all about a quality. A
(09:17):
four game sweep that's not a quality.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
No, exactly like most people, I assume that after Game three,
Zohan Mamdani of all people, would openly call for a
redistribution of points and wins. But did he know there
was nothing but silence. And that's just typical politicians for you,
breaking all their promises. You know, don't call on us
(09:42):
when you need the Eagles to give the Giants a
couple of wins this season.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
It's not happening. Not happening. No, but you did.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
That's a good point, that, Donny, because if i'm so
hand Mamdani, well, you know, I would take some of
the wins from the Yankees right.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Now and just give him to the Mets.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Yeah, the Yankees are in first, Mets are in last.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
You know, maybe you spread out the winds a little more,
then everybody's happy.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
You know, here you go. That's a quality. You gotta
do that, You gotta do that. Oh you kidding me?
What what?
Speaker 5 (10:15):
First of all, it's zoron mom, Donny, not Zohan. So
based on that logic, shouldn't the Phillies give some of
their wins to the Pirates or vice versa.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
No, they're in different cities, bro, makes no sense.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Yeah, attention, we meant New York, this city, not the state, dummy.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yeah, although you know it's state. I'd like to see
you in coma. Yeah exactly.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
You'll be in a state of shock when I stick
my radio in your bathtub.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Oh hea'y wait for that. Yeah, I don't take that.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Yeah, we know you didn't have to tell us, stinky exactly,
we can tell ye, although you're stinking up the show.
Du he's killing a who he kill't exactly shut out,
just wrap the segment right there.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
That's where Pauli and Tony were right.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Why Paulie and Tony were right.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
By the way, you want to talk about people who
do stink, it's people who don't shop at the Official
Fusco Show merch Star. You know, right now, get twenty
percent off everything May fourteenth through May eighteenth. In fact,
we got some great new items designed specifically to make
you the envy of every man and woman around you,
(11:30):
unless you look like our producer, where unfortunately there's nothing
we can do for you.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
You're on your own in that case exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Anyway, all right, that's that when we come back a
brand new segment, you're gonna love. Uh, don't go anywhere
or we'll notice. Okay, we're back. You know a lot
of people don'ty in our business. They're just lazy. I mean,
you know, they get on, they talk sports, and when
they're done with that, well they just talk more sports.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yeah, and lazy, lazy, lazy.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
You can't just of all the audience the same thing
you just gave them, you know, No, you got to
separate it out, you know. So you know, there was
a lot of stuff we didn't get. Those topics we
didn't get to earlier in the show. So right now
we're gonna do a brand new segment called stuff we
didn't get to earlier in the show.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Stuff we didn't get to earlier in the show.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
All right, See, now we're in a whole new segment.
It just feels totally different, you know, exactly.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
It's like the whole show is starting new again, exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Fresh, feels fresh. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Anyway, first up, the topic from the NBA we didn't
get to, you know, after the Lakers got killed. There
a lot of people are saying Lebron should retire and
that his best shot at winning a title is behind him.
What a total opposite, don't you, Tony?
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Of course, what do we all know would help Lebron
win a title?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Most two words, HNT the virus.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Look at what happened the last time a global virus
shut down the world. Lebron won a title, y'all. Now,
all that has to happen is this hantavirus has to
spread just a little bit more, you know, kill a
few more thirty or forty thousand people, you know, hopefully
around just about March twenty twenty seven, so he gets
(13:21):
a little break in the middle of the season, you know,
some time off, and then he goes into the bubble
and wins a title.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Easy.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Just terrific basketball and also contagion analysis that Dony. You know,
I wouldn't be surprised, Frankly, if Lebron was behind this
whole hantavirus. You know, it's still all times. Anyway, let's
get to soccer news. You see this Christo Fernandez, who
is one of the stars of that show ted Lasso.
He signed with a United Soccer League team, and you know, Donny, Frankly,
(13:54):
this guy to story just infuriates me, you know, because
I was sitting there the whole time watching, which is
a great job, by the way, terrific show.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
You know what I love.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I love how it makes you do more than just laugh,
you know what I'm saying exactly.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
It makes you think and laugh but then also cry
and then think some more.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
You know, it's just terrific.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
It's a great terrific Anyway, I was watching ted Lasso,
and what did I keep saying to you, Tony?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I said, the.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Philadelphia Union, the MLS team, Yeah, well, they should sign
this guy.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
He's amazing.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
He just saved the entire AFC Richmond from relegation.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
You know, I mean, you know this is on.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
This is infuriating because you remember in the nineteen eighties,
my dad and I went to see The Natural and
my dad he said, look at this guy, Roy Hobbes.
Why are the Phillies not signing this guy. He just
hit the lights out of the scoreboard. And we're signing
Darren Dalton when Roy Hobbs is a free agent. Just
(14:52):
call up this New York Knights team and get him already.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
And you know, Tony, this is frustrating me though, because
remember the nineteen nineties, early nineties, there was that great
player Willy Mays Hayes, right or you know, I was.
I was so upset that the Phillies didn't sign this
guy because he clearly had the speed. Shit. You remember
there was that video, right, you know, they put the
bed on the field. This guy's sleeping, Willy mays Hayes,
(15:17):
and he wakes up mid sleep and he runs and
they're racing, and he wins the race despite being asleep.
You know, I called the Phillies myself, and I said,
you got to call the Cleveland Indians, you and sign
this guy. And you know what that that person told
me on the phone. They said, Willy Mayses is not
a real person.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I said, what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I just saw this guy steal home plate with the
World Series on the line. Don't you watch the World Series?
Not a real person? I said, you're not a real organization,
you know exactly? And why didn't they sign that rookie
of the Year kid? He had a two hundred fastile
PARAA fastball. Apparently not good and not good enough for
the film? Try actually film, Try watching film. Theyly don't
(15:59):
watch film exactly. Talking about Philip Just finally, on a
bit of a down note, we do have to acknowledge
something nonsports there. This month we've lost both the Robert
Gerridine and now Donald Gibb, both in the movie Revenge
of the Nerds, which is considered one of the great
movies of the nineteen eighties, but not by us. No, no,
(16:22):
I mean, frankly, I've never understood the appeal of this movie,
do you, Tony.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Well, you know, in fairness, it was a good movie
for the first half you know, the jocks getting all
the girls and beating up on all these nerds. But
then it took this weird turn where these loser nerds
started stealing their girlfriends and winning these carnival games, and
then in the end the nerds get to keep their
loser fraternity. And I thought, what kind of message are
(16:50):
we sending that if you get girls and beat up
on people weakening you, then that's a bad thing and
it makes you a bad person.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Never understood that, understood that don Tony produced giving us
the state.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
What do you what's your problem? I know, yeah, tell him,
yeah exactly.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
I thought it's not a pretty good message.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Oh yeah, well here's the message for you. Go fund
yourself all right.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Yeah, you're probably still happy about that tricycle.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Race, Yeah exactly. Anyway, now be quiet, all right.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Anyway, that wraps a terrific show, except for that interruption.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Don't forget you visit the March store.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
You get that, and oh my, ing me talk about
Revenge of the Nerves.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Corrections.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
You said you wished the Phillies had drafted Willie Mays
Hayes in the nineteen nineties.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Would have been a great pickup, bro. Yeah, we lacked
that speed, Bro.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
Willie Mays Hayes wasn't real. It was a fictional character
in the movie Major League. That was Wesley Snipes.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Oh yeah, well you know who also snipes the hit
man I hired to kill you.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
And you know who's also a fictional character, your girlfriend?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Oh wow? What? Oh he's still talking?
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Go you said hanta virus was two words?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Yeah, bro, hanta virus.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
What are you dumb?
Speaker 5 (18:27):
No, you're dumb. It's a compound word, but it's still
one word.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Oh yeah, well I got one word for you, douche. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
And on the subject of compound words, your mom wants
me to compound her.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Oh, I guess who's coming on the show next week?
Just booked super Bowl hero Eagles legend Nick Foles will
be Wow, that's you.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
You go. You press the button's light.

There you go. We'll see people next week. See your
Kill them music kill How many times have we told
you you don't.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Come up with upbeat music when you're coming in.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
On a down though, you know, when he's clearly a
Knicks fan. That's why he's a born loser.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yeah exactly, there you go down anyway, you know, Right
moving on, Pauli Foods go, Tony Fools go, YadA YadA.
Ask you know the Sixers got swept by the Knicks,
and you're probably thinking this was a disaster for Philly
and makes us look bad. That's because you're a sheep
brainwashed by the lying media.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
You know, you're literally about to find out your whole
life is a lie.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah exactly, we're gonna tell you that and another lie.
You know, people are saying Lebron has no chance to
win a title anymore. We'll tell you why he's actually
got his best chance in years. But talking about lies,
Tony one quick thing partners at Fox Sports Radio, who
know nothing, They showed us this data from Spotify and Apple.
I don't believe it, but it showed that most people
(01:02):
skip this part of the show right now when we're
talking and telling you to hit like and subscribe and follow, right, Keel,
this is why if this is true, this is why
you people out there are just dumb because if your
present skip, well, clearly you have time to hit buttons.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
You know, you just got called out.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
You probably send there in your car right now, embarrassed
by yourself, embarrassing for you.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah, you know, so you fix that right now, and
you know.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
It's also embarrassing all the people out there saying we
were wrong for predicting that the Sixers would win the
NBA title. Well, that's incorrect, and we're going to show
you why we are right about a lot of things.
In fact, that's why right now we're gonna do the
segment where we go over everything we got right.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
You know, it's time.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
It's one of our most populous Everybody loves it. Everybody
loves it. Where Pollie and Tony were right, where Paulie
and Tony were right.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Okay, so the first thing we got to address there. Up.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
You see this Knicks player, idiot, Josh HoTT, came out
and he said that, to me, Philly is not a
sports town. And he said that because at the Sixers
home games during the playoffs, there were more Knicks fans
in the stands than Sixers fans. He said that show
the Sixers fans don't care about the team.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Wrong, wrong, jummy.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
There's a much more obvious explanation, isn't that donting?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Of course I crunched the numbers here. You see, the
cheapest ticket for a Sixes home game was one hundred
and sixty five dollars, and the train from New York

one hundred and ninety five dollars total. Meanwhile, the average

people in New York want shelter and a place to
sit and eat, it's actually cheaper for them to take
the train down to Philly and go to the game
than it is to try and rent an apartment in
(03:08):
New York.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
So this just shows Knicks.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Fans weren't there to support the team, but just there
to gets some much needed shade and air conditioning.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
So there you go. Explains everything, Tony.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Just incredible monetary and also societal analysis there.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
By hundred percent, and you know.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
What it also shows, Tony is that we need to
keep these Knicks fans out of our home games.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Yeah, you know, and there's a clear answer two words.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
FANMN fraud legislation, one hundred percent right. This is why
I am calling on our politicians and all our security
guards to pass fan ID legislation. Before a game, each
fan should be forced to prove that they're a real
Sixers fan by providing their home address and a recent
(03:55):
utility bill.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
It's only fair, Yep, it's only fair. Anyway to the
next topic.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
Where Pauli and Tony were right.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
All right, the more dumb combins from the haters after
the Sixers got swept and then fired that President Daryl Moury,
These these more runs came out saying the Sixers blew
their shot at winning a title this year.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Please. Yeah, I think these people are getting ahead of themselves.
I'm way ahead to me.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
The Sixers are clearly still in title contention. I mean,
if the Thunder win the title, well that's all because
of the Sixers, isn't it, Dony.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Clearly the Thunder mostly the Sixers. We drafted Jared McCain
and Isaiah Joe and then gave them to the Thunder.
So you know, Darryl Moury showed he can build a
championship roster, you know, just with another team. And let's
not forget who drafted SGA in twenty eighteen. Well, of
(04:52):
course that was the Hornets at number eleven. But who
had the number ten pick in that draft? That's right,
it was the six You're up one hundred percent, and
we knew SGA needed to be not on the Sixers,
you know, which just shows how good Darryl Morey was
at helping players find the right fit. And you know
(05:15):
you have to remember too, SGA also lost the MVP
in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
To who did he lose it to?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Joe l Embiid of course, Well that clearly told SGA
that he needed to be better at basketball. So you know,
to all of Oklahoma, you're welcome.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, you're welcome. Anyway, to our next one where Paully
and Dony were right. All right, while we're talking about drafting,
we've said over and over that the problem with the
Sixers isn't which players they're drafting, but which doctors.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Isn't that right? Though? One hundred percent?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
This was yet another disappointing performance by head team physician
and lead or theip eats milititis h Zagonis MD. He
clearly did nothing to fix all of Joe l Embi's
ten different ligament issues. You know, this just shows we
really need to do a better job scouting prospects out
(06:14):
of medical school.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
And I just looked this up.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
You know where this doctor Sigonis went to medical school?
Albany Medical College. Wow, guess where Albanie is?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
New York job.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
So clearly the fix was in, or I guess the
fix wasn't in because he didn't fix anything.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Just astounding journalism that Dony and died. Well, now to
our next.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
One where Paul and Tony were right.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
All right, staying on the same topic.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
People are saying that the Sixers process didn't work because
it's taken too long and the Sixers haven't won a
title since the process started, you know, thirteen fifteen years ago,
whatever it's been. So what this doesn't mean the process
isn't working right down exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
If you know anything about processes, then you would know
the best processes always take a long time, you know,
like the wine process. Do you drink a bottle of wine?
That's only thirteen years old. No, only if you're a
cave man. What do you think You just squeeze a
grape and then suddenly it's a cabinet or a mellot
(07:25):
of course, not you unsophisticated pig.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
And you know what about the human creation process?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
You just want a human being to stop growing after
thirteen years? Yeah, only if you want the entire world
to be some own biles have fun never going on
a roller coaster.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Exactly, you know, I bet all these morons bashing the
Sixers right now must be five feet.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Dollar un exactly.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Anyway, all right, next up where Pauli and Tony were right?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, another thing, just we need to point out here
this stupid playoff schedule.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
What was that?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I mean, there's an obvious reason by the Sixers lost
to the Knicks mothers to this day.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Of course, you could just tell.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
The Sixers were clearly worrying all week about what gifts
to get for their moms, and in that last game
on Sunday, they obviously felt terrible being on that court
and not at their mom's dining room table. Meanwhile, the
Knicks clearly don't care about their mothers, their anti mom
(08:29):
all those games. They clearly only cared about basketball and
not their sweet, poor old moms who carried them in
their wombs for nine months. And what did those sweet
selfless moms get. They got to be ignored on Mother's Day.
So shame on the Knicks. You want a title so bad,
here's your title. Worst sons ever, Absolutely shameful behavior by them,
(08:55):
just despicable.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
You know, my heart breaks for all those moms. And
right next up where Pauli and Doni were right, another
thing we got to say. You know, like most people,
we thought this series would go seven games. Yeah, yeah,
that's not because of how the team stacked up. It's
because of New York mayors Zoe hand Mam Donnie exactly.
I thought this guy was all about a quality. A
(09:17):
four game sweep that's not a quality.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
No, exactly like most people, I assume that after Game three,
Zohan Mamdani of all people, would openly call for a
redistribution of points and wins. But did he know there
was nothing but silence. And that's just typical politicians for you,
breaking all their promises. You know, don't call on us
(09:42):
when you need the Eagles to give the Giants a
couple of wins this season.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
It's not happening. Not happening. No, but you did.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
That's a good point, that, Donny, because if i'm so
hand Mamdani, well, you know, I would take some of
the wins from the Yankees right.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Now and just give him to the Mets.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Yeah, the Yankees are in first, Mets are in last.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
You know, maybe you spread out the winds a little more,
then everybody's happy.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
You know, here you go. That's a quality. You gotta
do that, You gotta do that. Oh you kidding me?
What what?
Speaker 5 (10:15):
First of all, it's zoron mom, Donny, not Zohan. So
based on that logic, shouldn't the Phillies give some of
their wins to the Pirates or vice versa.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
No, they're in different cities, bro, makes no sense.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Yeah, attention, we meant New York, this city, not the state, dummy.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Yeah, although you know it's state. I'd like to see
you in coma. Yeah exactly.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
You'll be in a state of shock when I stick
my radio in your bathtub.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Oh hea'y wait for that. Yeah, I don't take that.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Yeah, we know you didn't have to tell us, stinky exactly,
we can tell ye, although you're stinking up the show.
Du he's killing a who he kill't exactly shut out,
just wrap the segment right there.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
That's where Pauli and Tony were right.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Why Paulie and Tony were right.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
By the way, you want to talk about people who
do stink, it's people who don't shop at the Official
Fusco Show merch Star. You know, right now, get twenty
percent off everything May fourteenth through May eighteenth. In fact,
we got some great new items designed specifically to make
you the envy of every man and woman around you,
(11:30):
unless you look like our producer, where unfortunately there's nothing
we can do for you.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
You're on your own in that case exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Anyway, all right, that's that when we come back a
brand new segment, you're gonna love. Uh, don't go anywhere
or we'll notice. Okay, we're back. You know a lot
of people don'ty in our business. They're just lazy. I mean,
you know, they get on, they talk sports, and when
they're done with that, well they just talk more sports.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yeah, and lazy, lazy, lazy.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
You can't just of all the audience the same thing
you just gave them, you know, No, you got to
separate it out, you know. So you know, there was
a lot of stuff we didn't get. Those topics we
didn't get to earlier in the show. So right now
we're gonna do a brand new segment called stuff we
didn't get to earlier in the show.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
Stuff we didn't get to earlier in the show.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
All right, See, now we're in a whole new segment.
It just feels totally different, you know, exactly.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
It's like the whole show is starting new again, exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Fresh, feels fresh. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Anyway, first up, the topic from the NBA we didn't
get to, you know, after the Lakers got killed. There
a lot of people are saying Lebron should retire and
that his best shot at winning a title is behind him.
What a total opposite, don't you, Tony?
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Of course, what do we all know would help Lebron
win a title?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Most two words, HNT the virus.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Look at what happened the last time a global virus
shut down the world. Lebron won a title, y'all. Now,
all that has to happen is this hantavirus has to
spread just a little bit more, you know, kill a
few more thirty or forty thousand people, you know, hopefully
around just about March twenty twenty seven, so he gets
(13:21):
a little break in the middle of the season, you know,
some time off, and then he goes into the bubble
and wins a title.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Easy.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Just terrific basketball and also contagion analysis that Dony. You know,
I wouldn't be surprised, Frankly, if Lebron was behind this
whole hantavirus. You know, it's still all times. Anyway, let's
get to soccer news. You see this Christo Fernandez, who
is one of the stars of that show ted Lasso.
He signed with a United Soccer League team, and you know, Donny, Frankly,
(13:54):
this guy to story just infuriates me, you know, because
I was sitting there the whole time watching, which is
a great job, by the way, terrific show.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
You know what I love.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I love how it makes you do more than just laugh,
you know what I'm saying exactly.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
It makes you think and laugh but then also cry
and then think some more.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
You know, it's just terrific.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
It's a great terrific Anyway, I was watching ted Lasso,
and what did I keep saying to you, Tony?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I said, the.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Philadelphia Union, the MLS team, Yeah, well, they should sign
this guy.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
He's amazing.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
He just saved the entire AFC Richmond from relegation.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
You know, I mean, you know this is on.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
This is infuriating because you remember in the nineteen eighties,
my dad and I went to see The Natural and
my dad he said, look at this guy, Roy Hobbes.
Why are the Phillies not signing this guy. He just
hit the lights out of the scoreboard. And we're signing
Darren Dalton when Roy Hobbs is a free agent. Just
(14:52):
call up this New York Knights team and get him already.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
And you know, Tony, this is frustrating me though, because
remember the nineteen nineties, early nineties, there was that great
player Willy Mays Hayes, right or you know, I was.
I was so upset that the Phillies didn't sign this
guy because he clearly had the speed. Shit. You remember
there was that video, right, you know, they put the
bed on the field. This guy's sleeping, Willy mays Hayes,
(15:17):
and he wakes up mid sleep and he runs and
they're racing, and he wins the race despite being asleep.
You know, I called the Phillies myself, and I said,
you got to call the Cleveland Indians, you and sign
this guy. And you know what that that person told
me on the phone. They said, Willy Mayses is not
a real person.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I said, what do you mean?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I just saw this guy steal home plate with the
World Series on the line. Don't you watch the World Series?
Not a real person? I said, you're not a real organization,
you know exactly? And why didn't they sign that rookie
of the Year kid? He had a two hundred fastile
PARAA fastball. Apparently not good and not good enough for
the film? Try actually film, Try watching film. Theyly don't
(15:59):
watch film exactly. Talking about Philip Just finally, on a
bit of a down note, we do have to acknowledge
something nonsports there. This month we've lost both the Robert
Gerridine and now Donald Gibb, both in the movie Revenge
of the Nerds, which is considered one of the great
movies of the nineteen eighties, but not by us. No, no,
(16:22):
I mean, frankly, I've never understood the appeal of this movie,
do you, Tony.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Well, you know, in fairness, it was a good movie
for the first half you know, the jocks getting all
the girls and beating up on all these nerds. But
then it took this weird turn where these loser nerds
started stealing their girlfriends and winning these carnival games, and
then in the end the nerds get to keep their
loser fraternity. And I thought, what kind of message are
(16:50):
we sending that if you get girls and beat up
on people weakening you, then that's a bad thing and
it makes you a bad person.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Never understood that, understood that don Tony produced giving us
the state.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
What do you what's your problem? I know, yeah, tell him,
yeah exactly.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
I thought it's not a pretty good message.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Oh yeah, well here's the message for you. Go fund
yourself all right.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Yeah, you're probably still happy about that tricycle.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Race, Yeah exactly. Anyway, now be quiet, all right.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Anyway, that wraps a terrific show, except for that interruption.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Don't forget you visit the March store.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
You get that, and oh my, ing me talk about
Revenge of the Nerves.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Corrections.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
You said you wished the Phillies had drafted Willie Mays
Hayes in the nineteen nineties.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Would have been a great pickup, bro. Yeah, we lacked
that speed, Bro.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
Willie Mays Hayes wasn't real. It was a fictional character
in the movie Major League. That was Wesley Snipes.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Oh yeah, well you know who also snipes the hit
man I hired to kill you.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
And you know who's also a fictional character, your girlfriend?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Oh wow? What? Oh he's still talking?
Speaker 5 (18:17):
Go you said hanta virus was two words?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Yeah, bro, hanta virus.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
What are you dumb?
Speaker 5 (18:27):
No, you're dumb. It's a compound word, but it's still
one word.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Oh yeah, well I got one word for you, douche. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
And on the subject of compound words, your mom wants
me to compound her.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Oh, I guess who's coming on the show next week?
