Speaker 1 (00:00):
The following content may be unsuitable for certain audiences. In fact,
you couldn't pay me to watch it. See your losers.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
All right, all right, yo yo yo, I'm in to
your life from Philly.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
It's the number one rated Polly and Tony Fusto show.
Yo yo yo.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
As always Polly foos go here with Tony Fosco and
Tony yo huge show today.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Let's go.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
People up in arms about Shadur Sanders making the Pro Bowl. Yeah,
we'll tell you why the stats show he won hundred
percent deserved it, of course, why those people are.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
One hundred percent morons.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Plus we'll tell you why the biggest winner in the playoffs, Yeah,
is not the Seahawks.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Or the Patriots. No, despite what the media wants to
tell you.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
And we're also going to take your calls, which will
probably regret, and we're going to react to this whole
meltdown the biased media is having over Bill Belichick not
making the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
But dummies.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
On that note, Tony, we have a much bigger voting
controversy to discuss. A you know, Barrett Media, highly reputable,
not just release their list of the top twenty digital
sports shows and our show is nowhere to be found
on the list.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
My sources tell me we weren't even listed on the
ballot to be nominated.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Can you believe this, Tony?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
You know, this just shows exactly why people in this
country say democracy is dead, because frankly, I haven't seen
any other reason up until this happened.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Exactly to Tony. And in fact, now I think you
and I both know how Bill Belichick must be feeling
right now.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
You know absolutely that.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
And also because I did sleep with a hot twenty
four year old co ed last night, you know well that.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Well, if you out there want to protect democracy, you
get off your lazy ass. You hit like, you hit subscribe,
do it all, go to Apple podcast and you'll.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Leave a review, yup, and it better be five stars
or us we're coming for you.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Oh not Tony, our producer back there. Uh what does
he want? The stink guy?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
What you say? Democracy is dead? And then you threaten
people who don't give the show a good review. Doesn't
that seem kind of backwards to you?
Speaker 5 (02:23):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
What seems kind of backwards is that it's the Pauli
and Tony Fusco show and you keep talking.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
You know, this must be why the Barrett media left
us off the list, because you're ruining.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
The show exactly.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
They were voting against you, against you, That explains everything.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Any shut up back there, it's just such a mouth.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Because it's time to get into our top story. First
out the gate, Let's start with the big controversies in
the NFL right now. First, people are just angry over
the fact that Shader Sanders made the Pro Bowl Tonty.
These people clearly don't know what the hell they're talking about, do.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
They at all?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
You know, people keep saying should do is stats are terrible,
but they're forgetting. You have to convert those stats to
AFB adjusted for Browns. Sure, on a normal team, seven
touchdowns and ten interceptions will get you cut, but by
the chronically low standards of the Browns, those numbers in
(03:20):
AFB come out to seventy two touchdowns and only one
interception if you ask me. When you look at it
that way, none of the other Pro Bowl is deserved
to be on the same field as Shadua Sanders. Well,
except for Miles Garrett and his historic season of two
hundred and seventy eight sacks.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yeah, terrific.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Statistical analysis that Dody. And you know another thing, when
people say Shadar doesn't have what it takes to make
the pro bowls, well they're clearly forgetting that Shadar is
made for Dion Sander's sperm exactly is pro bowl quality
sparm Isn't it.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
One hundred percent?
Speaker 3 (03:57):
You know, you have to remember the sperm that created
Shador was the quickest of all d On sperm because
it beat all the other fast sperm at the sperm
combine held inside his mom's uterus, and den was drafted
number one overall. You know by the egg, that sperm
proved that it has the speed, the penetration, the mobility
(04:21):
or in this case, the motility, and the fertility to
get the job done.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
So it gets my vote, gets my vote, Dote, Donty.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
You know you do have to wonder looking back, did
the egg make the right call with the sperm it chose.
You know, it could have passed up that first pick
to get sperm.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
With a little more value later in the draft. You
know that's so true.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
And you know time will tell if that sperm is
a bust or not.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Well, you know it was a bust when it came
out of d on. But you know what I'm saying, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Totally on the same hitge don'ty Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Well, now to another voting controversy we got going on.
Reports say that Bill Bellich did not get enough votes
to be a first ballot Hall of Famer in the
Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Now, a lot of.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Fools in sports media say they want to know who
these voters are.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
And well, okay, sure, take it away, dony, my pleasure.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yeah, I'm one of the voters who didn't vote Bill
Belichick into the Hall of Fame. You want an explanation, fine,
two words, Doug Peterson. He beat Bill Belichick in the
Super Bowl, and until he gets in, that loser, Bill
Belichick isn't getting my vote. And the same goes for you,
(05:35):
Tom Brady. Until Nick Foles is in, you and your
silver medal are out. People say this whole voting process
discredits the Hall of Fame. Please, I think it discredits
the Super Bowl if you ask me.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Couldn't agree more, Dony.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
And you know, to me, it makes perfect sense that
these voters didn't vote for Belichick because they're mostly old men.
We all know that Belichick's core fan base is hot
co eds aged twenty two to twenty six, you know exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
So while Belichick won't be invited to the Hall of
Fame ceremony, the silver lining for him is that he
will get invited to several annual sorority formals. You know,
he won't get a gold jacket, but he will get
two free drinks, a tote bag, and a complimentary glowstick.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
So that's great. Definitely silver lining that toty.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
And while we're talking controversy, you know, many Bills fans
are not happy that the team promoted offensive coordinator Joe
Brady to be the team's head coach.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
They claiming that they.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Should have explored more options and that the search wasn't
extensive enough. What are these people talking about?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
If you ask me, we have to applaud the Bills
on how extensive their coaching search was.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
They truly searched far and wide.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
You know, they not only interviewed their current offensive coordinator,
but their old offensive coordinator before him, and also the
offensive coordinator they had a few years before they.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
Had that offensive coordinator.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
And also they interviewed Philip Rivers, who's literally the last
person on earth who should even be considered for the job.
So hats off to the Bills for leaving no stone
or coach unturned.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Just a terrific breakdown that Donny Yank.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Although I do have to say, you know, if I'm
a Bills fan, I'm a little concerned that the team
hired a guy named Joe that's only a three.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Letter first name.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Exactly, this NFL playoffs approved what we already know. If
you want to win a Super Bowl, you need a
coach with a four letter first name.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
You know, Donny one hundred percent, We've got two mics
in the Super Bowl and before that, Nicky Andy.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Dog Yup, Billy.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
John and the Rams won with the Sean, and the
Bills just dumped Sean, which will probably backfire on them.
I mean, just watch the Raiders is so bad they'll
probably hire a six to seven letter named coach like
Stefan or Steven spelled with the pH because they just
don't get it.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
No, they don't bound to happen, don't ye.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Anyway, Let's turn our attention to the current NFL playoffs.
You know, people are saying the biggest winners in the
playoffs on the Seahawks and the Patriots because they made
it to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
But that's extremely narrow minded to them, isn't it doubting?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Of course, they're clearly not seeing the big picture. Sam Donald,
making the Super Bowl proves that the big winners in
these playoffs are the Jets. They prove they have the
best front office in football. When you think about it,
most front offices only build one roster, but the Jets
front office always builds thirty one rosters. They're not focused
(08:55):
on building their own team. They're focused on building the
entire league. They sign players and then help them go
to a team that's a good fit because they know
that team is not the Jets.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Just great points all around, Donny.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I mean sure, if you'll see the Jets as a
football organization, well they're dog feces. But if you see
him as you know, a job placement agency, well they're
one of the best organizations in the entire world.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Couldn't agree more. Yep, and well.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Thurning our attention to the Patriots, many in the lam
boring media are asking if Drake May can lead the
Patriots to victory in the Super Bowl, please, Yeah, this
just shows these people don't understand football, do they don't.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Not at all. They're missing the point everyone knows.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
The most important player in the Super Bowl isn't the quarterback,
it's the backup quarterback. That's why Tommy DeVito is the
most important player on the Patriots. He's the backup to
Drake May. The other teams know if they injured Drake May,
they've got to face Tommy de Veto, who's statistically the
(10:02):
better quarterback if you look at the right stats. That's
why the Broncos defense barely touched Drake May. They saw
de Vito on the sideline staring them down and thought,
we don't want any part of that.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Couldn't agree more, Tony. In fact, what's the most important
stat in evaluating a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Interceptions and corps in his career.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Look at this, Drake.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
May has thrown eighteen interceptions.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Wow, Tommy DeVito only three. So there it is. Case closed.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
And while we're talking Super Bowl here, we got to
mention this a hub up surrounding this graphic. You see
this on the social media, Tony, people, they're reposting this
image that the NFL social accounts put out before the
season started. It's like a comic book thing of all
the players walking toward a giant Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Trophy and Levi Stadium, and they.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Pointed out that the two closest players the trophy are
Sam Donald and Drake May. So they're saying that was
the NFL telling you that the two teams that were
gonna make the Super Bowl with the Seahawks and the Patriots.
But you know you looked at this image closely, Dote, Donty,
That's not what's most troubling here about this image, isn't you.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Know You've got to look even closer.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
If this image is really predicting the future, then we
should all be very concerned about what's going on with
the sun. It looks like there's some kind of firestorm
around it, or maybe a portal opening to another dimension.
And why is the Golden Gate Bridge right next to
Levi Stadium. Is the portal going to cause an earthquake
and crush the land that's between them?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
And why is the Super Bowl trophy so big?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Is the Sun's power going to shoot through the portal
and cause objects to grow one hundred times their size?
Speaker 6 (11:53):
It's like Superman four all over again.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
If you ask me, I think everyone should be very
concern just meet.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Though Tony, just a tremendous breakdown there, and uh, well,
if I'm concerned about anything, it's what's coming up next,
because we're going to open the Hot Take hotline. Oh,
we were going to take your calls, your videos, your whatnot. Anyway,
we're going to do that right after the break. All right,
we're back from break. Okay, we're gonna go ahead and
(12:23):
open up the Hot Take outline, which we always wind
up progressive. This week we got done of calls and videos. Now,
to be clear, a lot of the videos apparently we're
not about sports, but how much everyone hates our producer
and we would personally like to thank you for all
those videos. We would love to show them all, but
we're up against time. Yeah, and also we already know
(12:43):
what a useless thirty is, so yah course videos telling
us no, thank you anyway, thank you. We haven't actually
seen any of these videos because you know, we're busy with.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
More important things.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Course, but we did have a producer back there, idiot,
go back through them and hopefully you pick some.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Go.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
He probably picked the worst ones, but let's.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
See, let's say go take it Produsa.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
What those first one's from Elija is.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
That Sugar Sanders is better than Drake May because she
door made the promo and Drake.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Then wow, that was perfect.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
I have nothing to add to that one, straight out
one for one.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I don't know how producer selected that one. He got
lost to hit the wrong button exactly. But anyway, Who's
who's up next?
Speaker 8 (13:34):
This is Graham?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (13:37):
Paully?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
What's up? Tony?
Speaker 7 (13:38):
My NFL hot take is that the Buffalo Bills wanted
to signe Tom Brady, but he didn't want to hurt
his reputation of being on Super Bowl winning teams, so
instead they had to sign Joe.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Brady, another decent one, don't Yeah, and you know that
is actually true. I heard that if Joe Brady said no,
then why Brady would have been next?
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Well you know that.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
And that's that's great because you could tell these Bills
they don't know how to do press conferences, you know, they're.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Just terrible about it. He can bring some you know, joy,
maybe you know some deal makes them.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Improv you know, yep, yep? All right, baking how this
is going through?
Speaker 8 (14:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Okay? Who is getting lucky? All right? Who's next next?
Speaker 4 (14:23):
There is Luke's Show My hot take is that Mike
McCarthy only came to Pittsburgh to get free Primanny Bros.
Speaker 8 (14:30):
Also shout out Grivin Graham.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
All right, that fine take there, but there's probably the
only game for the free promany Bros. But that you
know anything about this business, you don't mention brands unless
they're paying show exact.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
You know, if Bermanty Bros.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Wants to pay us to say something like, you know,
they're a fine distributor of sandwiches and delicious and you
should go eat them now, then then that's okay, you know,
for those acts. You know what, go go send the
Promante bros. Y'all bill for fifty fifty g's.
Speaker 6 (15:03):
You have to do it right now. Yep, good call.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Did you move a pen? I don't think he wrote
that down anyway, I just do. So what are you doing?
What's this one?
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Just play the next one? Who's it from? Who's the
next one?
Speaker 8 (15:15):
Next one's from Alan Hi.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
Bali, Hi Tony a little producer Jay.
Speaker 9 (15:20):
My heart take is that Geno Smith is a top
three quarterback in the NFL. All right, what do all
good quarterbacks have the element of surprise?
Speaker 1 (15:31):
All right?
Speaker 9 (15:31):
And Geno Smith he is so unpredictable. He's full of surprises,
all right. He could throw an interception, he could throw
a check down, he get thrown incompletion, all right. You
just never know, and it is impossible to defensively ski
for him because you just never know he's gonna give you.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
No.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
That was a pretty good tick. That was a good
take it take Smith.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
But I'm interested in the unpredictability of Allen there and
whatever he imbibed the before he pressed play on that
take there.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
You know, I wouldn't be surprised if he drank an
entire can of Monster Energy drink right before he recorded that.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I mean you know what, In fact, I produce a
send the bill the Monster Energy drink.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
Yeah, send them a bill fifty g's.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Fifty g's yeah. Is he right? He won't even do
his job, all right? Next one, just go, just go.
Speaker 8 (16:21):
Next is Drake the singer.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yo yo yo Oh.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
It's Drake and I'm down in South Philly and I
got an idea for the Fusco Show for a little segment.
You gotta call up the NFL, call up the commissioner
and tell him to put the Eagles in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Because Bro, hold on, you know what something's telling me.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
This kid is not actually from Philly and that's a
fake accent.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Let us teach you something, bro, because it's clear you
don't have anyone in your household who works in sports
media and can teach you these things.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Yeah, no chance.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
What matters most in this business is authentic, authentist.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
If you can't be.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yourself, then the audience won't trust anything you say.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Okay, so listen to us, bro, Let us educate you,
because it's clear you don't have a parental figure in
your home who's doing that.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
So go back, make.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
A new video with your real self, and also consider
us your parental figure.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Role models.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Just don't ask us for money because you're not getting
any exactly none.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
All right, let's move on next one.
Speaker 8 (17:28):
This is Delvin.
Speaker 10 (17:30):
Hey, Tony A p is Delvin Bro. You're never wrong, Brop.
Here's my heart take. It's been the Patriots. The Patriots
need to fire their head coach.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yep.
Speaker 10 (17:42):
They've never won the Super Bowl with them.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
You know, Tony, that's actually an interesting point, you know,
when you think about it, Mike Rabel is currently a
failure because he is won the super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
He hasn't won a super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
And if you you know, if they fired him now,
well that would that would blow the Seahawks mind. They
wouldn't know how to prepare exactly good thinking that I
went not bad?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
All right?
Speaker 8 (18:06):
Next one, then there's Tyler.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
It's only hit PAULI uh, Tyler here, I just wanted
to give you my opinion on the Bobert signing with
the Mets.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I think that that was.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
The same guy in the other video, and now you're
showing them you can't have the same guy in the
previous call and they can put him on again.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
Yeah, exactly, don't get the customer.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Yeah, and also why is this guy talking about baseball July?
What's wrong with this guy? What is going on? Then
we know what with our producer back, Yeah exactly, we
knew it was too good to be true. With media
didn't vote for the show. It's because of our anyway,
you know what. That's it, that's what was up. We're done,
close it up, ruined. He ruined another show. One tickets baby, Yeah,
(18:54):
one call, that's it and one it you know you
blew it, you all blew it.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
He ruined it. We're doing We're done with the show.
That's it. That's it.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Anyway you know, you want to make it up to us,
you go, you go visit the March store.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
R you buy all?
Speaker 6 (19:06):
They still talking?
Speaker 8 (19:09):
What directions?
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Why just go?
Speaker 4 (19:14):
You said the way to win our super Bowl is
to hire a coach with a four letter first name.
Speaker 11 (19:19):
Yeap Nick, Doug, Bill adds up, Bro, study history, Bro.
I did, and that's why I know. The super Bowl
Trophy is named after Vince Lombardi, who has five letters
in his first name.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Oh yeah, well, here's five letters for you, d O
O s H douche.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Yeah, and here's five more letters s h U t up.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Oh still talking?
Speaker 5 (19:51):
What go?
Speaker 4 (19:53):
When you were talking about coaches that Bills interviewed, you
left out a bunch of names like Clint Kubiak.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
So yeah, what do you his brother or something?
Speaker 10 (20:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (20:03):
No, I just think if you're going to report the news,
you should at least be accurate and find out all
the facts.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Oh, don't worry, I'm going to be accurate with my crossbow. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
And you know what, You'll never find a Clint Taurus.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Oh ya.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Wait, you actually think Doug Peterson should get into the
Hall of fame of.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Course, bro all time winner bro beat Belichick.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
There are like twenty coaches in line to get in
before him that have way better resumes.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
So no, oh yeah, well I'd like to see a
resume for your replacement.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Yeah, and you know what, You're never getting into a
vagina show.
Speaker 2 (20:53):

It's the number one rated Polly and Tony Fusto show.
Yo yo yo.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
As always Polly foos go here with Tony Fosco and
Tony yo huge show today.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Let's go.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
People up in arms about Shadur Sanders making the Pro Bowl. Yeah,
we'll tell you why the stats show he won hundred
percent deserved it, of course, why those people are.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
One hundred percent morons.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Plus we'll tell you why the biggest winner in the playoffs, Yeah,
is not the Seahawks.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Or the Patriots. No, despite what the media wants to
tell you.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
And we're also going to take your calls, which will
probably regret, and we're going to react to this whole
meltdown the biased media is having over Bill Belichick not
making the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
But dummies.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
On that note, Tony, we have a much bigger voting
controversy to discuss. A you know, Barrett Media, highly reputable,
not just release their list of the top twenty digital
sports shows and our show is nowhere to be found
on the list.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
My sources tell me we weren't even listed on the
ballot to be nominated.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Can you believe this, Tony?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
You know, this just shows exactly why people in this
country say democracy is dead, because frankly, I haven't seen
any other reason up until this happened.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Exactly to Tony. And in fact, now I think you
and I both know how Bill Belichick must be feeling
right now.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
You know absolutely that.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
And also because I did sleep with a hot twenty
four year old co ed last night, you know well that.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Well, if you out there want to protect democracy, you
get off your lazy ass. You hit like, you hit subscribe,
do it all, go to Apple podcast and you'll.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Leave a review, yup, and it better be five stars
or us we're coming for you.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Oh not Tony, our producer back there. Uh what does
he want? The stink guy?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
What you say? Democracy is dead? And then you threaten
people who don't give the show a good review. Doesn't
that seem kind of backwards to you?
Speaker 5 (02:23):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
What seems kind of backwards is that it's the Pauli
and Tony Fusco show and you keep talking.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
You know, this must be why the Barrett media left
us off the list, because you're ruining.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
The show exactly.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
They were voting against you, against you, That explains everything.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Any shut up back there, it's just such a mouth.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Because it's time to get into our top story. First
out the gate, Let's start with the big controversies in
the NFL right now. First, people are just angry over
the fact that Shader Sanders made the Pro Bowl Tonty.
These people clearly don't know what the hell they're talking about, do.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
They at all?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
You know, people keep saying should do is stats are terrible,
but they're forgetting. You have to convert those stats to
AFB adjusted for Browns. Sure, on a normal team, seven
touchdowns and ten interceptions will get you cut, but by
the chronically low standards of the Browns, those numbers in
(03:20):
AFB come out to seventy two touchdowns and only one
interception if you ask me. When you look at it
that way, none of the other Pro Bowl is deserved
to be on the same field as Shadua Sanders. Well,
except for Miles Garrett and his historic season of two
hundred and seventy eight sacks.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yeah, terrific.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Statistical analysis that Dody. And you know another thing, when
people say Shadar doesn't have what it takes to make
the pro bowls, well they're clearly forgetting that Shadar is
made for Dion Sander's sperm exactly is pro bowl quality
sparm Isn't it.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
One hundred percent?
Speaker 3 (03:57):
You know, you have to remember the sperm that created
Shador was the quickest of all d On sperm because
it beat all the other fast sperm at the sperm
combine held inside his mom's uterus, and den was drafted
number one overall. You know by the egg, that sperm
proved that it has the speed, the penetration, the mobility
(04:21):
or in this case, the motility, and the fertility to
get the job done.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
So it gets my vote, gets my vote, Dote, Donty.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
You know you do have to wonder looking back, did
the egg make the right call with the sperm it chose.
You know, it could have passed up that first pick
to get sperm.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
With a little more value later in the draft. You
know that's so true.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
And you know time will tell if that sperm is
a bust or not.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Well, you know it was a bust when it came
out of d on. But you know what I'm saying, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Totally on the same hitge don'ty Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Well, now to another voting controversy we got going on.
Reports say that Bill Bellich did not get enough votes
to be a first ballot Hall of Famer in the
Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Now, a lot of.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Fools in sports media say they want to know who
these voters are.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
And well, okay, sure, take it away, dony, my pleasure.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Yeah, I'm one of the voters who didn't vote Bill
Belichick into the Hall of Fame. You want an explanation, fine,
two words, Doug Peterson. He beat Bill Belichick in the
Super Bowl, and until he gets in, that loser, Bill
Belichick isn't getting my vote. And the same goes for you,
(05:35):
Tom Brady. Until Nick Foles is in, you and your
silver medal are out. People say this whole voting process
discredits the Hall of Fame. Please, I think it discredits
the Super Bowl if you ask me.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Couldn't agree more, Dony.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
And you know, to me, it makes perfect sense that
these voters didn't vote for Belichick because they're mostly old men.
We all know that Belichick's core fan base is hot
co eds aged twenty two to twenty six, you know exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
So while Belichick won't be invited to the Hall of
Fame ceremony, the silver lining for him is that he
will get invited to several annual sorority formals. You know,
he won't get a gold jacket, but he will get
two free drinks, a tote bag, and a complimentary glowstick.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
So that's great. Definitely silver lining that toty.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
And while we're talking controversy, you know, many Bills fans
are not happy that the team promoted offensive coordinator Joe
Brady to be the team's head coach.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
They claiming that they.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Should have explored more options and that the search wasn't
extensive enough. What are these people talking about?
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
If you ask me, we have to applaud the Bills
on how extensive their coaching search was.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
They truly searched far and wide.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
You know, they not only interviewed their current offensive coordinator,
but their old offensive coordinator before him, and also the
offensive coordinator they had a few years before they.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
Had that offensive coordinator.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
And also they interviewed Philip Rivers, who's literally the last
person on earth who should even be considered for the job.
So hats off to the Bills for leaving no stone
or coach unturned.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Just a terrific breakdown that Donny Yank.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Although I do have to say, you know, if I'm
a Bills fan, I'm a little concerned that the team
hired a guy named Joe that's only a three.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Letter first name.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Exactly, this NFL playoffs approved what we already know. If
you want to win a Super Bowl, you need a
coach with a four letter first name.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
You know, Donny one hundred percent, We've got two mics
in the Super Bowl and before that, Nicky Andy.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Dog Yup, Billy.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
John and the Rams won with the Sean, and the
Bills just dumped Sean, which will probably backfire on them.
I mean, just watch the Raiders is so bad they'll
probably hire a six to seven letter named coach like
Stefan or Steven spelled with the pH because they just
don't get it.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
No, they don't bound to happen, don't ye.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Anyway, Let's turn our attention to the current NFL playoffs.
You know, people are saying the biggest winners in the
playoffs on the Seahawks and the Patriots because they made
it to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
But that's extremely narrow minded to them, isn't it doubting?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Of course, they're clearly not seeing the big picture. Sam Donald,
making the Super Bowl proves that the big winners in
these playoffs are the Jets. They prove they have the
best front office in football. When you think about it,
most front offices only build one roster, but the Jets
front office always builds thirty one rosters. They're not focused
(08:55):
on building their own team. They're focused on building the
entire league. They sign players and then help them go
to a team that's a good fit because they know
that team is not the Jets.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Just great points all around, Donny.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I mean sure, if you'll see the Jets as a
football organization, well they're dog feces. But if you see
him as you know, a job placement agency, well they're
one of the best organizations in the entire world.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Couldn't agree more. Yep, and well.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Thurning our attention to the Patriots, many in the lam
boring media are asking if Drake May can lead the
Patriots to victory in the Super Bowl, please, Yeah, this
just shows these people don't understand football, do they don't.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Not at all. They're missing the point everyone knows.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
The most important player in the Super Bowl isn't the quarterback,
it's the backup quarterback. That's why Tommy DeVito is the
most important player on the Patriots. He's the backup to
Drake May. The other teams know if they injured Drake May,
they've got to face Tommy de Veto, who's statistically the
(10:02):
better quarterback if you look at the right stats. That's
why the Broncos defense barely touched Drake May. They saw
de Vito on the sideline staring them down and thought,
we don't want any part of that.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Couldn't agree more, Tony. In fact, what's the most important
stat in evaluating a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Interceptions and corps in his career.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Look at this, Drake.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
May has thrown eighteen interceptions.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Wow, Tommy DeVito only three. So there it is. Case closed.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
And while we're talking Super Bowl here, we got to
mention this a hub up surrounding this graphic. You see
this on the social media, Tony, people, they're reposting this
image that the NFL social accounts put out before the
season started. It's like a comic book thing of all
the players walking toward a giant Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Trophy and Levi Stadium, and they.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Pointed out that the two closest players the trophy are
Sam Donald and Drake May. So they're saying that was
the NFL telling you that the two teams that were
gonna make the Super Bowl with the Seahawks and the Patriots.
But you know you looked at this image closely, Dote, Donty,
That's not what's most troubling here about this image, isn't you.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Know You've got to look even closer.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
If this image is really predicting the future, then we
should all be very concerned about what's going on with
the sun. It looks like there's some kind of firestorm
around it, or maybe a portal opening to another dimension.
And why is the Golden Gate Bridge right next to
Levi Stadium. Is the portal going to cause an earthquake
and crush the land that's between them?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
And why is the Super Bowl trophy so big?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Is the Sun's power going to shoot through the portal
and cause objects to grow one hundred times their size?
Speaker 6 (11:53):
It's like Superman four all over again.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
If you ask me, I think everyone should be very
concern just meet.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Though Tony, just a tremendous breakdown there, and uh, well,
if I'm concerned about anything, it's what's coming up next,
because we're going to open the Hot Take hotline. Oh,
we were going to take your calls, your videos, your whatnot. Anyway,
we're going to do that right after the break. All right,
we're back from break. Okay, we're gonna go ahead and
(12:23):
open up the Hot Take outline, which we always wind
up progressive. This week we got done of calls and videos. Now,
to be clear, a lot of the videos apparently we're
not about sports, but how much everyone hates our producer
and we would personally like to thank you for all
those videos. We would love to show them all, but
we're up against time. Yeah, and also we already know
(12:43):
what a useless thirty is, so yah course videos telling
us no, thank you anyway, thank you. We haven't actually
seen any of these videos because you know, we're busy with.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
More important things.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Course, but we did have a producer back there, idiot,
go back through them and hopefully you pick some.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Go.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
He probably picked the worst ones, but let's.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
See, let's say go take it Produsa.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
What those first one's from Elija is.
Speaker 7 (13:12):
That Sugar Sanders is better than Drake May because she
door made the promo and Drake.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Then wow, that was perfect.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
I have nothing to add to that one, straight out
one for one.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I don't know how producer selected that one. He got
lost to hit the wrong button exactly. But anyway, Who's
who's up next?
Speaker 8 (13:34):
This is Graham?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (13:37):
Paully?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
What's up? Tony?
Speaker 7 (13:38):
My NFL hot take is that the Buffalo Bills wanted
to signe Tom Brady, but he didn't want to hurt
his reputation of being on Super Bowl winning teams, so
instead they had to sign Joe.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Brady, another decent one, don't Yeah, and you know that
is actually true. I heard that if Joe Brady said no,
then why Brady would have been next?
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Well you know that.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
And that's that's great because you could tell these Bills
they don't know how to do press conferences, you know, they're.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Just terrible about it. He can bring some you know, joy,
maybe you know some deal makes them.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Improv you know, yep, yep? All right, baking how this
is going through?
Speaker 8 (14:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Okay? Who is getting lucky? All right? Who's next next?
Speaker 4 (14:23):
There is Luke's Show My hot take is that Mike
McCarthy only came to Pittsburgh to get free Primanny Bros.
Speaker 8 (14:30):
Also shout out Grivin Graham.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
All right, that fine take there, but there's probably the
only game for the free promany Bros. But that you
know anything about this business, you don't mention brands unless
they're paying show exact.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
You know, if Bermanty Bros.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Wants to pay us to say something like, you know,
they're a fine distributor of sandwiches and delicious and you
should go eat them now, then then that's okay, you know,
for those acts. You know what, go go send the
Promante bros. Y'all bill for fifty fifty g's.
Speaker 6 (15:03):
You have to do it right now. Yep, good call.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Did you move a pen? I don't think he wrote
that down anyway, I just do. So what are you doing?
What's this one?
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Just play the next one? Who's it from? Who's the
next one?
Speaker 8 (15:15):
Next one's from Alan Hi.
Speaker 6 (15:17):
Bali, Hi Tony a little producer Jay.
Speaker 9 (15:20):
My heart take is that Geno Smith is a top
three quarterback in the NFL. All right, what do all
good quarterbacks have the element of surprise?
Speaker 1 (15:31):
All right?
Speaker 9 (15:31):
And Geno Smith he is so unpredictable. He's full of surprises,
all right. He could throw an interception, he could throw
a check down, he get thrown incompletion, all right. You
just never know, and it is impossible to defensively ski
for him because you just never know he's gonna give you.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
No.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
That was a pretty good tick. That was a good
take it take Smith.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
But I'm interested in the unpredictability of Allen there and
whatever he imbibed the before he pressed play on that
take there.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
You know, I wouldn't be surprised if he drank an
entire can of Monster Energy drink right before he recorded that.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I mean you know what, In fact, I produce a
send the bill the Monster Energy drink.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
Yeah, send them a bill fifty g's.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Fifty g's yeah. Is he right? He won't even do
his job, all right? Next one, just go, just go.
Speaker 8 (16:21):
Next is Drake the singer.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Yo yo yo Oh.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
It's Drake and I'm down in South Philly and I
got an idea for the Fusco Show for a little segment.
You gotta call up the NFL, call up the commissioner
and tell him to put the Eagles in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Because Bro, hold on, you know what something's telling me.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
This kid is not actually from Philly and that's a
fake accent.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Let us teach you something, bro, because it's clear you
don't have anyone in your household who works in sports
media and can teach you these things.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Yeah, no chance.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
What matters most in this business is authentic, authentist.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
If you can't be.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Yourself, then the audience won't trust anything you say.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Okay, so listen to us, bro, Let us educate you,
because it's clear you don't have a parental figure in
your home who's doing that.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
So go back, make.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
A new video with your real self, and also consider
us your parental figure.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Role models.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Just don't ask us for money because you're not getting
any exactly none.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
All right, let's move on next one.
Speaker 8 (17:28):
This is Delvin.
Speaker 10 (17:30):
Hey, Tony A p is Delvin Bro. You're never wrong, Brop.
Here's my heart take. It's been the Patriots. The Patriots
need to fire their head coach.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yep.
Speaker 10 (17:42):
They've never won the Super Bowl with them.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
You know, Tony, that's actually an interesting point, you know,
when you think about it, Mike Rabel is currently a
failure because he is won the super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
He hasn't won a super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
And if you you know, if they fired him now,
well that would that would blow the Seahawks mind. They
wouldn't know how to prepare exactly good thinking that I
went not bad?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
All right?
Speaker 8 (18:06):
Next one, then there's Tyler.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
It's only hit PAULI uh, Tyler here, I just wanted
to give you my opinion on the Bobert signing with
the Mets.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
I think that that was.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
The same guy in the other video, and now you're
showing them you can't have the same guy in the
previous call and they can put him on again.
Speaker 6 (18:26):
Yeah, exactly, don't get the customer.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Yeah, and also why is this guy talking about baseball July?
What's wrong with this guy? What is going on? Then
we know what with our producer back, Yeah exactly, we
knew it was too good to be true. With media
didn't vote for the show. It's because of our anyway,
you know what. That's it, that's what was up. We're done,
close it up, ruined. He ruined another show. One tickets baby, Yeah,
(18:54):
one call, that's it and one it you know you
blew it, you all blew it.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
He ruined it. We're doing We're done with the show.
That's it. That's it.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Anyway you know, you want to make it up to us,
you go, you go visit the March store.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
R you buy all?
Speaker 6 (19:06):
They still talking?
Speaker 8 (19:09):
What directions?
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Why just go?
Speaker 4 (19:14):
You said the way to win our super Bowl is
to hire a coach with a four letter first name.
Speaker 11 (19:19):
Yeap Nick, Doug, Bill adds up, Bro, study history, Bro.
I did, and that's why I know. The super Bowl
Trophy is named after Vince Lombardi, who has five letters
in his first name.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Oh yeah, well, here's five letters for you, d O
O s H douche.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Yeah, and here's five more letters s h U t up.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Oh still talking?
Speaker 5 (19:51):
What go?
Speaker 4 (19:53):
When you were talking about coaches that Bills interviewed, you
left out a bunch of names like Clint Kubiak.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
So yeah, what do you his brother or something?
Speaker 10 (20:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (20:03):
No, I just think if you're going to report the news,
you should at least be accurate and find out all
the facts.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Oh, don't worry, I'm going to be accurate with my crossbow. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
And you know what, You'll never find a Clint Taurus.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Oh ya.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Wait, you actually think Doug Peterson should get into the
Hall of fame of.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Course, bro all time winner bro beat Belichick.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
There are like twenty coaches in line to get in
before him that have way better resumes.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
So no, oh yeah, well I'd like to see a
resume for your replacement.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
Yeah, and you know what, You're never getting into a
vagina show.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Just book for next week super Bowl Hero egos legend

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
