Speaker 1 (00:00):
On today's show, we bring on our so called competitor
and put him in his place. Let's go roll the intro.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
All right, all.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Right, yo yo yo, your life from Philly.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
It's the number one rated Polly Tony Fosco show. Yo
Yo Yo is Polly Foolsco here with Tony Woosko and
Tony Yo. You know, all the people listening and watching
right now, they're probably noticing this episode coming a little
later than on normal ones. You know, we're recording later
because Tony, we were up the other night watching that
(00:38):
total embarrassment called the six. It is horrible, just terrible
and embarrassing loss, losing to the Celtics by thirty five points.
But don't worry for people. As usual, we have answers
solutions with the way we're taking care of you. Yeah. Yeah,
we're gonna tell you what went wrong.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Yeah, we're gonna separate fact from friction.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Yeah. And what we're also gonna do is we're going
to bring on this guy. He calls himself a competitor
of OZ even though there's no competition. People. Let's face it,
we totally crush him in the ratings. Been doing that
for years anyway, you know, some people like to call
him the voice of Philly Radio, which is just totally
disrespectful to us and also unfactual of course ridiculous. You know.
(01:20):
Now he's just been polluting the airways with his terrible takes.
So we're going to bring him on and just you know,
educate him, Tony, you know, put him in his place.
His name is Mike Missinelli. And you know, by the way,
Tony on the subject of our huge ratings, you know,
that's why advertisers are lining up to be on the show.
So in fact, it's time for a message from our
(01:41):
latest sponsor, newest sponsor, our good friends at e Harmony.
Do you have trouble finding people to date or marry, Well,
don't worry. Your days of being a total loser are
soon to be over. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Now, just to be clear, we don't have to use
the harmony because you know we're famous and also who
the wants to get married? But you know they paid
us to do this read.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
So anyway, just go visit eomine dot com and uh, well,
I don't know what you do past that because I've
never used the sign me neither. No problems in that department, Yeah, exactly,
So all right, that's our ad. Let's just send it
because you know we got more to get check. So
let's just get straight in to our top story story.
(02:28):
All right, First out the gate. You know, after that
Game one domination by the Sixers over the Celtics, you know,
just crushing them one nineteen one fifteen, Philly was just
gonna run to a sweep. Yeah, But then in game two,
just an absolute meltdown by the Sixers. Shameful, and you
know they one twenty one to eighty seven. But you
(02:49):
know it was clear watching that game they completely totally
abandoned their game plan from game one. So what we're
gonna do right now is just get them back to
basics and tell them what we gonna need to do.
We're gonna lay out these are keys to the series.
Here we go. The first key, more scoring. You know,
you can't score eighty seven points in a game and
(03:10):
expect to win, you know, so in the next games, Tony,
it's clear the Sixers need to just focus on getting
the ball in the basket more.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
One hundred percent. You can't win games unless you score
more than your opponent.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yep. And that leads naturally to the second key, better defense.
You know, you can't let the Celtics score one hundred
and twenty one, Absolutely not do that. You know, see
what they gotta do is they gotta they gotta limit
the Celtics to fewer points.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Exactly. You never want your opponent to score more points
than you. That's almost always going to lead to a loss.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Absolutely. Absolutely. In the third key, they need a winning mentality.
You know, it's clear they just they weren't playing to win.
You got to play to win, isn't that right?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
One hundred percent right? If you're not focused on winning,
then you're not going to win. Simply put.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
There you go, and there's our keys to the series.
And let's shift over to the Western Conference now where
we got the Lakers playing the Warriors. You know, people
out there they're saying this is a Marquis match. Hum. Yeah,
If it's so Marquee, then why is the NBA doing
everything they can to hide it? You know, the start
the stock times for these games are ten pm Eastern. Yeah,
(04:24):
you know, my hunchton, here's what's going on. You know
what's going on with these low NBA ratings? You know,
the league is so afraid nobody's going to watch these games, yea,
so waiting that they're putting them in a time slot
where they know they can win, right. You know, you
look at the second half of these games around twelve am,
they're going up against reruns of Night Court and Love Connection.
(04:45):
You know, it's clear what they're doing. They just they're
just trying to win the time slot and game in
the system. Isn't that what's going on?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
And it's so deceitful.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Obviously Adam Silvan knows if he puts games against entertainment
powerhouses like Young Sheldon, the the league's gonna get killed.
And you know, the other night, I have to say,
I had a choice to watch either the Lakers Warriors
or the Oxy Clean infomercial. I chose Oxy Clean. Always
entertaining and educational too.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Absolutely, you know you made the right choice, that don't Yeah, yeah,
yeah done. Another topic here with the TV ratings, very
interesting story are out of the NFL. Fox Sports in
the NFL released a statement this week. They said the
the original number of viewers reported for the Eagles chief
Super Bowl was actually too low. The you know, they
(05:36):
originally said it was one hundred and thirteen million, but
now they've apparently done some digging uncovered some lost Neil City.
Interesting booklet's expose some viewership fraud. And now they've adjusted
the numbers to one hundred and fifteen million, making it
the most watched Super Bowl of all dyme as it
should be. And Tony, you know, we always know something
(05:58):
was fishy here with the numbers, didn't we? Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
You know, when I saw that original number of only
one hundred and thirteen million viewers, I thought that's way
too low. There's just no way everyone I knew watched
the game. I mean I must have known two million
people just by myself who said they watched it.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, mee to DONI yeah, it makes four million. This
is just so you know, it's don't being on many levels,
isn't it, Dony.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
You know, I gotta say I'm somewhat shaken by this development.
I mean, if we can't trust the Nielsen ratings, who
can we trust? You know, I've always thought the ratings
for America's Got Talent were way too low. The Nielsen
say that that show only gets up poultry nine million viewers,
But how can that be? I mean, this is our
(06:43):
country's premiere talent competition, where our nation's finest circus performers,
fire eaters, and hilarious jugglers are on display. That show
has to be getting one hundred million viewers per week minimum.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
So true, and so beautifully said don't And now to
saybody the news out of the NFL. You know, we
haven't been on air since the NFL Draft when the
Eagles totally dominated dominated, you know, kill When you look
at why they did it, it's easy to see why.
You know, they just basically drafted all their players from
Georgia and Alabama. That's what they did. And you know, Tony,
(07:19):
we've been ahead of this for years, haven't we. You know,
we saw this coming. Just further proves what we've been
saying for years. There is no reason why NFL teams
should have scouts, isn't that right? Dony one thousand percent?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Remember when we were watching the National Championship game and
I said, why do they bother scouting the country for players?
Why not just draft all the players from these teams? Simple,
you're done. Scouts watch so much film and go travel
all over the country and that's a complete waste of time.
All you gotta do is watch the college football playoff
(07:52):
and you're done. You got enough players to field an
entire draft right there. What are they doing going to
these colleges like University Idaho or South Dakota State.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Just a terrific point, Tony. And you know, on the
subject of total waste of time. This week, we've been
getting a lot of criticism for a segment we did
on the show last week where we talked about how
ridiculous it was that the panel over there at the
ESPN Live that they were so surprised by the Aaron
(08:23):
Rodgers trade. They were all like, oh wow, we didn't
see this coming. And what they were saying to us,
these idiots, is they're saying, well, they were surprised by
the picks that were done, that we know Jets gave
up so much, and you know, whatever, people should We
knew at the whole time that was there was still
no surprise to end exactly do you really think exactly
(08:44):
this trade wasn't going to go through? I mean, the
Jets had no quarterback, all right. Aaron Rodgers himself, yes,
the trade was going to happen. Yeah right, he said, Yeah, Frankly,
if you're surprised by this news that, I guess anything
will shock you. So we're gonna seriously another segment we
did last week. It's one of our newest segments where
(09:04):
we cover other stories like this. It's time for breaking
obvious newses. Oh look at this, Tony, where do we
get packers announced? Jordan Love is getting a contract extension?
Whoa coming? Wow? Just figured they you.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Know, maybe they would not resign him, maybe maybe go
week to week with him, you know, weekly contract.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Wow, here's another one. Tony Lamar Jackson officially signs his
five year contract with the Ravens. WHOA. I wasn't sure
if that was actually gonna happen, but there you go,
it happened. Wow, no way, yeah, believe it or not, Tony, Well,
(09:53):
they didn't.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
See that coming. Didn't see it coming.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
All right?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
All right, bad enough that he's on his own show.
But here he comes on the show. So let's go
ahead and bring him on the Fusco Satellite Network. Satellite
net work. All right, this guy, one of our quote
unquote competitors, will say, even though we're winning that battle
by a mile, that that battle's been over fav because anyway,
(10:20):
you know, some people, as we said, like to call
him the voice of Philly Radio, which is totally just
misleading and disrespectful. Uh you know. He spent many years
on ninety ninety seven to five The Fanatic. Now he
hosts his own show, The Mike Missing Ellie Podcast on
Debt Rivers. Will do him a father, get his plugs
in Eagles pregame show on jakeeb Media whatever. You know
(10:43):
they wanted us, it's Jacob. We don't even they wanted us.
Who can't enough? So we're not gonna bother learning their name.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
They're lucky they got a plug.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yeah, yeah, anyway, even.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
And Mike hold On saying to keep might being in
the Middle East somewhere. I think they haven't.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
We didn't even finish. Yeah, them so professional.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
All right, anyway, we're having them on the show here
to educate him and teach him how to do broadcasting,
which you can't even sit there and shut up for
one minute while we do his intro. Anyway, Mike, miss
and Ellie, Welcome to the show. Yeah, I guess I'm
so glad to be here.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
It was either this or or have a proctologist examination,
and I chose this.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Although I'm a proctologist, I see an asshole on my screen. Yeah,
there you go.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yeah, see, that's what you get for interrupting us.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Now, let's reel it back in. Let's reel it back
in here, reel it back.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
We'll try to give you another start here. Already off
a bad start there. All right, let's see it, guys.
We all know, just a terribly embarrassing performance by the
Sixes in Game two. You know, you love to talk
Sixes people, you know, I guess want to hear what
you have to say. Sometimes I don't know why, but
then you're so called professional opinion. What do you think
they need to fix? You know in this series moving forward.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
They need to get better players off their bench for
first of all. But no, last night was one of those. Okay,
let's get Joel Embiid back acclimated to a basketball floor
and been on basketball for for a really long time.
I didn't think they're gonna win the game. I didn't
think they were gonna get smashed. And the problem is
(12:29):
now that you get Boston in his confidence that they're
a great shooting team, and that kind of carries over
after their performance in Game one. The Sixers had him
thinking a little bit, and all those baskets that they
got on back door cuts.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
You know what they were thinking is where's Joel Embiid?
That threw them off? Right, They didn't Joel Embiid here,
you know, and all of a sudden they're losing the
books time and hold on, let me finish. God, this
guy he's run in mouth. Hold on. We need yeah,
we need a mute button on this. Yeah, exactly. Let
(13:07):
me get my point. They should bench m b Yeah,
bench Embiid. All right, tell me the probably stupid point
you want to make.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yeah, so you you think they should have not played
Embiid in game two?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Correct? Yes, it was not himself. You know, first of all,
how can you have two MVPs. You can't have them
on most floor together players on the floor. That was
the first time. That doesn't make sense, two most valuable players. Yeah,
it's unclear who's in charge, you know, like this, basically.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
You want them to Wendy. You want him to unveil
Embiid like in the Gay Game five.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Let me tell your idea.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Yeah, and the best time to play them, we're not
playing at all through the whole series.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Not play them at all. Yeah. We saw in game
one total domination from James Hawk.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Yeah, they smashed them.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Uh, that's not the best solution, really is they have
no chance to that to well be playing in the series.
I'm sure you know that, like you actually think this
team could beat Boston four times?
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Yes, yes, they won the first game.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
You know, you just you know you're a downer and
you know this is why your ratings. Whenever it's band
you're down in. They hear this negativity from you, this hopelessness,
and then you know that it makes them sad.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah, Tony and Paul, let me, let me explain something.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
James Harden's how old thirty three right in his prime.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
He's not in his prime and there's no chance and
he's going to replicate a forty five point effort.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
So where are your problem? You know your problem, Mike.
You don't have a winning mentality in this. Just like
you have a winning mentality, you have a losing mentality.
That's why we crush you in the ratings. And stupid
ever heard that's what they should call you. You're not
playing and be and the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I can see that if you would say he shouldn't
play a game to get more rest, that's even stupid. Well,
then when you go on for the rest of the
series and say he shouldn't play. They have zero chance
to win.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Come on, all right, you know you can't read stats
and that's your problem. By the way, that's the best
thing I ever heard was when Bette Rivers hired you.
You know that.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Yeah, we couldn't believe it. We're like this guy.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
But yeah, just anyway, talking.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
About not playing embiid because I would go, like night
at the Wells Fargo Center. I would love for them
to give him the m v P Trophy and then
announcing the crowd. And by the way, he's not playing
because Tony and Poie Fusco said that they'd be better
off without.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
It's it's Fusco and think about the Celtics. They'd be confused.
They say, guys and Beads definitely playing. Then all of
a sudden, there's no v WHO game playing out. Yes,
there you go.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
It's like I said before, it's a great idea. You
guys are ahead of the game, ahead of the curve.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Jesus, this has gone off the rails. Tony, Yeah, let's
bring it back in.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Let's see what he says about our next.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
YEA Eagles dream is they dominated the d killed in
the draft would you agree that much there, Mike? Yes,
oh good, okay, okay, we have a brain. You're actually
you're actually you have the right take. They killed in
the draft.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Yeah, you're gonna say we're going deeper here, We're going
next level deep.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah, he's very excited. Okay, look, but don't you think
Look they got all their top players from Alabama and Georgia.
Let me ask your Mike, what why do they have
scouts in that organization? Just a total waste of money
if you ask me, just watch the college football playoff.
That's all you got to do. It's all the scouting
you need to do. Again.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yeah you know, actually that's a brilliant point. How much
money do you think they spend on scouts?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Like tons of money.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
We got to trim the budget there.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Yeah, lodging, you can go to the best teams.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Yeah, in the DMS, lodging they you know, reimbursements.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Let's let him bury himself here. Yeah, god, I thought
about that.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
That's actually good. Why are they wasting money on scouts
that they could just go of the top teams in
the SEC and draft guys that you can see on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I don't can't.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
There's anything wrong with that philosophy.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Believe I watched the game five minutes. I said that
guy's good.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
We want him.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
I mean, the smartest thing you guys.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Have said there, you got, I got nothing. You know, Mike, Now,
when you look back at your career, you know you
were sitting there coming up with takes on your own.
Do you think now maybe you should have just been
listening to Washa the whole repeating.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
That Perhaps I should have because I've never heard like
you're you're right for the wrong, like you're suggesting that
they shouldn't hire scouts. Yes, and the way football, I
guess has evolved here in college football, I guess.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
You just go to the SEC. That's their philosophy now,
so they could trim the payroll and Jeffrey Lury could
get richer. Exactly.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I'm stun here.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
You fuscos came up with this brilliant idea.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Oh see, he can't even compliment. You know that was
a that was a backhanded compliment.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Yeah, that's what it was.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Trying to be a man and go ahead and admit
that the reason you knocked us through the years is
because you're jealous that it takes us so much better
than you always.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I don't think I've knocked you through the years. I
would have to know about you before I know.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Oh, guess what I know.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Guess what I know?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
You know what what I know?
Speaker 4 (18:21):
This interview is coming to an end, That's what I know.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
You know who I'm not gonna miss you on this show? Yeah, exactly,
Mike Swinging and Miss Ellie, guess what You're off this show,
Miss White, Miss Beyond.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Because I've got to call Doc Rivers now and say,
don't play beat rest of the series beginning.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Guess what do that in that way? Yeah, tell you
my glaes.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah, you're done. Let me go. Now, I must get
be able to catch him before he leaves the Yeah,
we already got were already that way you go? Is
he off the line?
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Jay, hang up the phone?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
You know? There you go. There's exhibit a of why
we totally kick his ass in the ratings and after
years exactly, he won't be missed on this show. No,
not at all anyway. But you know, we don't want
to let it ruin what was a terrific show, and
obviously we want to do think our good friends at
e Harmony, even though you kidding me someone who definitely
(19:25):
needs emany. I don't even know if Emedy can help.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Yeah, produce it, Jay.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
What you said, NFL scouts shouldn't waste their time scouting
players from colleges like South Dakota State.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Yeah, total waste time. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
Adam Vinattieri, arguably the greatest kicker in NFL history, went
to South Dakota State, so scouting him probably was not
a waste of time.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Oh yeah, well you want to talk waste of time,
go look at the last twenty seconds.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Yeah, I'm going to be the greatest kicker in history
after I kick you.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
In the balls.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Yo, it's good. You're done. That's it, no more? What
why how are you go?
Speaker 6 (20:11):
You said the Lakers Warriors games are starting too late?
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yeah, yeah, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
If those games started earlier, East Coast games would have
to get going at like four pm Eastern time, and
people would still be at work. And also it would
be terrible for ratings.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Oh yeah, well, on the subject of terrible for ratings.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
You yeah, you know what else? I wish God going earlier.
The hitman that we hired to kill you yees to
get moving the Yeah, let's go already all right, that's it,
We're done.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Let's get out of heree what.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
Go You said in your quote unquote analysis that if
the Sixers wanted to beat the Celtics, they need to
play better defense.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah, bro hundred.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
What Yeah that's not analysis. That's clear to pretty much everybody.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Oh yeah, well you know what's also clear to pretty
much everybody that you need to die. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
You know who else plays great defense? Women when you
ask them out?
Speaker 1 (21:16):

to bring on this guy. He calls himself a competitor
of OZ even though there's no competition. People. Let's face it,
we totally crush him in the ratings. Been doing that
for years anyway, you know, some people like to call
him the voice of Philly Radio, which is just totally
disrespectful to us and also unfactual of course ridiculous. You know.

Now he's just been polluting the airways with his terrible takes.
So we're going to bring him on and just you know,

His name is Mike Missinelli. And you know, by the way,
Tony on the subject of our huge ratings, you know,
that's why advertisers are lining up to be on the show.
So in fact, it's time for a message from our
(01:41):
latest sponsor, newest sponsor, our good friends at e Harmony.
Do you have trouble finding people to date or marry, Well,
don't worry. Your days of being a total loser are
soon to be over. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Now, just to be clear, we don't have to use
the harmony because you know we're famous and also who
the wants to get married? But you know they paid
us to do this read.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
So anyway, just go visit eomine dot com and uh, well,
I don't know what you do past that because I've
never used the sign me neither. No problems in that department, Yeah, exactly,
So all right, that's our ad. Let's just send it
because you know we got more to get check. So
let's just get straight in to our top story story.
(02:28):
All right, First out the gate. You know, after that
Game one domination by the Sixers over the Celtics, you know,
just crushing them one nineteen one fifteen, Philly was just
gonna run to a sweep. Yeah, But then in game two,
just an absolute meltdown by the Sixers. Shameful, and you
know they one twenty one to eighty seven. But you
(02:49):
know it was clear watching that game they completely totally
abandoned their game plan from game one. So what we're
gonna do right now is just get them back to
basics and tell them what we gonna need to do.
We're gonna lay out these are keys to the series.
Here we go. The first key, more scoring. You know,
you can't score eighty seven points in a game and
(03:10):
expect to win, you know, so in the next games, Tony,
it's clear the Sixers need to just focus on getting
the ball in the basket more.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
One hundred percent. You can't win games unless you score
more than your opponent.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yep. And that leads naturally to the second key, better defense.
You know, you can't let the Celtics score one hundred
and twenty one, Absolutely not do that. You know, see
what they gotta do is they gotta they gotta limit
the Celtics to fewer points.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Exactly. You never want your opponent to score more points
than you. That's almost always going to lead to a loss.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Absolutely. Absolutely. In the third key, they need a winning mentality.
You know, it's clear they just they weren't playing to win.
You got to play to win, isn't that right?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
One hundred percent right? If you're not focused on winning,
then you're not going to win. Simply put.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
There you go, and there's our keys to the series.
And let's shift over to the Western Conference now where
we got the Lakers playing the Warriors. You know, people
out there they're saying this is a Marquis match. Hum. Yeah,
If it's so Marquee, then why is the NBA doing
everything they can to hide it? You know, the start
the stock times for these games are ten pm Eastern. Yeah,
(04:24):
you know, my hunchton, here's what's going on. You know
what's going on with these low NBA ratings? You know,
the league is so afraid nobody's going to watch these games, yea,
so waiting that they're putting them in a time slot
where they know they can win, right. You know, you
look at the second half of these games around twelve am,
they're going up against reruns of Night Court and Love Connection.
(04:45):
You know, it's clear what they're doing. They just they're
just trying to win the time slot and game in
the system. Isn't that what's going on?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
And it's so deceitful.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Obviously Adam Silvan knows if he puts games against entertainment
powerhouses like Young Sheldon, the the league's gonna get killed.
And you know, the other night, I have to say,
I had a choice to watch either the Lakers Warriors
or the Oxy Clean infomercial. I chose Oxy Clean. Always
entertaining and educational too.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Absolutely, you know you made the right choice, that don't Yeah, yeah,
yeah done. Another topic here with the TV ratings, very
interesting story are out of the NFL. Fox Sports in
the NFL released a statement this week. They said the
the original number of viewers reported for the Eagles chief
Super Bowl was actually too low. The you know, they
(05:36):
originally said it was one hundred and thirteen million, but
now they've apparently done some digging uncovered some lost Neil City.
Interesting booklet's expose some viewership fraud. And now they've adjusted
the numbers to one hundred and fifteen million, making it
the most watched Super Bowl of all dyme as it
should be. And Tony, you know, we always know something
(05:58):
was fishy here with the numbers, didn't we? Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
You know, when I saw that original number of only
one hundred and thirteen million viewers, I thought that's way
too low. There's just no way everyone I knew watched
the game. I mean I must have known two million
people just by myself who said they watched it.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, mee to DONI yeah, it makes four million. This
is just so you know, it's don't being on many levels,
isn't it, Dony.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
You know, I gotta say I'm somewhat shaken by this development.
I mean, if we can't trust the Nielsen ratings, who
can we trust? You know, I've always thought the ratings
for America's Got Talent were way too low. The Nielsen
say that that show only gets up poultry nine million viewers,
But how can that be? I mean, this is our
(06:43):
country's premiere talent competition, where our nation's finest circus performers,
fire eaters, and hilarious jugglers are on display. That show
has to be getting one hundred million viewers per week minimum.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
So true, and so beautifully said don't And now to
saybody the news out of the NFL. You know, we
haven't been on air since the NFL Draft when the
Eagles totally dominated dominated, you know, kill When you look
at why they did it, it's easy to see why.
You know, they just basically drafted all their players from
Georgia and Alabama. That's what they did. And you know, Tony,
(07:19):
we've been ahead of this for years, haven't we. You know,
we saw this coming. Just further proves what we've been
saying for years. There is no reason why NFL teams
should have scouts, isn't that right? Dony one thousand percent?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Remember when we were watching the National Championship game and
I said, why do they bother scouting the country for players?
Why not just draft all the players from these teams? Simple,
you're done. Scouts watch so much film and go travel
all over the country and that's a complete waste of time.
All you gotta do is watch the college football playoff
(07:52):
and you're done. You got enough players to field an
entire draft right there. What are they doing going to
these colleges like University Idaho or South Dakota State.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Just a terrific point, Tony. And you know, on the
subject of total waste of time. This week, we've been
getting a lot of criticism for a segment we did
on the show last week where we talked about how
ridiculous it was that the panel over there at the
ESPN Live that they were so surprised by the Aaron
(08:23):
Rodgers trade. They were all like, oh wow, we didn't
see this coming. And what they were saying to us,
these idiots, is they're saying, well, they were surprised by
the picks that were done, that we know Jets gave
up so much, and you know, whatever, people should We
knew at the whole time that was there was still
no surprise to end exactly do you really think exactly
(08:44):
this trade wasn't going to go through? I mean, the
Jets had no quarterback, all right. Aaron Rodgers himself, yes,
the trade was going to happen. Yeah right, he said, Yeah, Frankly,
if you're surprised by this news that, I guess anything
will shock you. So we're gonna seriously another segment we
did last week. It's one of our newest segments where
(09:04):
we cover other stories like this. It's time for breaking
obvious newses. Oh look at this, Tony, where do we
get packers announced? Jordan Love is getting a contract extension?
Whoa coming? Wow? Just figured they you.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Know, maybe they would not resign him, maybe maybe go
week to week with him, you know, weekly contract.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Wow, here's another one. Tony Lamar Jackson officially signs his
five year contract with the Ravens. WHOA. I wasn't sure
if that was actually gonna happen, but there you go,
it happened. Wow, no way, yeah, believe it or not, Tony, Well,
(09:53):
they didn't.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
See that coming. Didn't see it coming.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
All right?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
All right, bad enough that he's on his own show.
But here he comes on the show. So let's go
ahead and bring him on the Fusco Satellite Network. Satellite
net work. All right, this guy, one of our quote
unquote competitors, will say, even though we're winning that battle
by a mile, that that battle's been over fav because anyway,
(10:20):
you know, some people, as we said, like to call
him the voice of Philly Radio, which is totally just
misleading and disrespectful. Uh you know. He spent many years
on ninety ninety seven to five The Fanatic. Now he
hosts his own show, The Mike Missing Ellie Podcast on
Debt Rivers. Will do him a father, get his plugs
in Eagles pregame show on jakeeb Media whatever. You know
(10:43):
they wanted us, it's Jacob. We don't even they wanted us.
Who can't enough? So we're not gonna bother learning their name.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
They're lucky they got a plug.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yeah, yeah, anyway, even.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
And Mike hold On saying to keep might being in
the Middle East somewhere. I think they haven't.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
We didn't even finish. Yeah, them so professional.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
All right, anyway, we're having them on the show here
to educate him and teach him how to do broadcasting,
which you can't even sit there and shut up for
one minute while we do his intro. Anyway, Mike, miss
and Ellie, Welcome to the show. Yeah, I guess I'm
so glad to be here.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
It was either this or or have a proctologist examination,
and I chose this.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Although I'm a proctologist, I see an asshole on my screen. Yeah,
there you go.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yeah, see, that's what you get for interrupting us.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Now, let's reel it back in. Let's reel it back
in here, reel it back.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
We'll try to give you another start here. Already off
a bad start there. All right, let's see it, guys.
We all know, just a terribly embarrassing performance by the
Sixes in Game two. You know, you love to talk
Sixes people, you know, I guess want to hear what
you have to say. Sometimes I don't know why, but
then you're so called professional opinion. What do you think
they need to fix? You know in this series moving forward.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
They need to get better players off their bench for
first of all. But no, last night was one of those. Okay,
let's get Joel Embiid back acclimated to a basketball floor
and been on basketball for for a really long time.
I didn't think they're gonna win the game. I didn't
think they were gonna get smashed. And the problem is
(12:29):
now that you get Boston in his confidence that they're
a great shooting team, and that kind of carries over
after their performance in Game one. The Sixers had him
thinking a little bit, and all those baskets that they
got on back door cuts.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
You know what they were thinking is where's Joel Embiid?
That threw them off? Right, They didn't Joel Embiid here,
you know, and all of a sudden they're losing the
books time and hold on, let me finish. God, this
guy he's run in mouth. Hold on. We need yeah,
we need a mute button on this. Yeah, exactly. Let
(13:07):
me get my point. They should bench m b Yeah,
bench Embiid. All right, tell me the probably stupid point
you want to make.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yeah, so you you think they should have not played
Embiid in game two?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Correct? Yes, it was not himself. You know, first of all,
how can you have two MVPs. You can't have them
on most floor together players on the floor. That was
the first time. That doesn't make sense, two most valuable players. Yeah,
it's unclear who's in charge, you know, like this, basically.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
You want them to Wendy. You want him to unveil
Embiid like in the Gay Game five.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Let me tell your idea.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Yeah, and the best time to play them, we're not
playing at all through the whole series.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Not play them at all. Yeah. We saw in game
one total domination from James Hawk.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Yeah, they smashed them.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Uh, that's not the best solution, really is they have
no chance to that to well be playing in the series.
I'm sure you know that, like you actually think this
team could beat Boston four times?
Speaker 4 (14:01):
Yes, yes, they won the first game.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
You know, you just you know you're a downer and
you know this is why your ratings. Whenever it's band
you're down in. They hear this negativity from you, this hopelessness,
and then you know that it makes them sad.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah, Tony and Paul, let me, let me explain something.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
James Harden's how old thirty three right in his prime.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
He's not in his prime and there's no chance and
he's going to replicate a forty five point effort.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
So where are your problem? You know your problem, Mike.
You don't have a winning mentality in this. Just like
you have a winning mentality, you have a losing mentality.
That's why we crush you in the ratings. And stupid
ever heard that's what they should call you. You're not
playing and be and the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
I can see that if you would say he shouldn't
play a game to get more rest, that's even stupid. Well,
then when you go on for the rest of the
series and say he shouldn't play. They have zero chance
to win.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Come on, all right, you know you can't read stats
and that's your problem. By the way, that's the best
thing I ever heard was when Bette Rivers hired you.
You know that.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Yeah, we couldn't believe it. We're like this guy.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
But yeah, just anyway, talking.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
About not playing embiid because I would go, like night
at the Wells Fargo Center. I would love for them
to give him the m v P Trophy and then
announcing the crowd. And by the way, he's not playing
because Tony and Poie Fusco said that they'd be better
off without.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
It's it's Fusco and think about the Celtics. They'd be confused.
They say, guys and Beads definitely playing. Then all of
a sudden, there's no v WHO game playing out. Yes,
there you go.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
It's like I said before, it's a great idea. You
guys are ahead of the game, ahead of the curve.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Jesus, this has gone off the rails. Tony, Yeah, let's
bring it back in.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Let's see what he says about our next.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
YEA Eagles dream is they dominated the d killed in
the draft would you agree that much there, Mike? Yes,
oh good, okay, okay, we have a brain. You're actually
you're actually you have the right take. They killed in
the draft.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Yeah, you're gonna say we're going deeper here, We're going
next level deep.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah, he's very excited. Okay, look, but don't you think
Look they got all their top players from Alabama and Georgia.
Let me ask your Mike, what why do they have
scouts in that organization? Just a total waste of money
if you ask me, just watch the college football playoff.
That's all you got to do. It's all the scouting
you need to do. Again.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Yeah you know, actually that's a brilliant point. How much
money do you think they spend on scouts?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Like tons of money.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
We got to trim the budget there.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Yeah, lodging, you can go to the best teams.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Yeah, in the DMS, lodging they you know, reimbursements.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Let's let him bury himself here. Yeah, god, I thought
about that.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
That's actually good. Why are they wasting money on scouts
that they could just go of the top teams in
the SEC and draft guys that you can see on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
I don't can't.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
There's anything wrong with that philosophy.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Believe I watched the game five minutes. I said that
guy's good.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
We want him.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
I mean, the smartest thing you guys.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Have said there, you got, I got nothing. You know, Mike, Now,
when you look back at your career, you know you
were sitting there coming up with takes on your own.
Do you think now maybe you should have just been
listening to Washa the whole repeating.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
That Perhaps I should have because I've never heard like
you're you're right for the wrong, like you're suggesting that
they shouldn't hire scouts. Yes, and the way football, I
guess has evolved here in college football, I guess.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
You just go to the SEC. That's their philosophy now,
so they could trim the payroll and Jeffrey Lury could
get richer. Exactly.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I'm stun here.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
You fuscos came up with this brilliant idea.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Oh see, he can't even compliment. You know that was
a that was a backhanded compliment.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Yeah, that's what it was.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Trying to be a man and go ahead and admit
that the reason you knocked us through the years is
because you're jealous that it takes us so much better
than you always.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I don't think I've knocked you through the years. I
would have to know about you before I know.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Oh, guess what I know.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
Guess what I know?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
You know what what I know?
Speaker 4 (18:21):
This interview is coming to an end, That's what I know.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
You know who I'm not gonna miss you on this show? Yeah, exactly,
Mike Swinging and Miss Ellie, guess what You're off this show,
Miss White, Miss Beyond.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Because I've got to call Doc Rivers now and say,
don't play beat rest of the series beginning.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Guess what do that in that way? Yeah, tell you
my glaes.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah, you're done. Let me go. Now, I must get
be able to catch him before he leaves the Yeah,
we already got were already that way you go? Is
he off the line?
Speaker 4 (19:02):
Jay, hang up the phone?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
You know? There you go. There's exhibit a of why
we totally kick his ass in the ratings and after
years exactly, he won't be missed on this show. No,
not at all anyway. But you know, we don't want
to let it ruin what was a terrific show, and
obviously we want to do think our good friends at
e Harmony, even though you kidding me someone who definitely
(19:25):
needs emany. I don't even know if Emedy can help.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Yeah, produce it, Jay.
Speaker 6 (19:29):
What you said, NFL scouts shouldn't waste their time scouting
players from colleges like South Dakota State.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Yeah, total waste time. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
Adam Vinattieri, arguably the greatest kicker in NFL history, went
to South Dakota State, so scouting him probably was not
a waste of time.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Oh yeah, well you want to talk waste of time,
go look at the last twenty seconds.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Yeah, I'm going to be the greatest kicker in history
after I kick you.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
In the balls.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Yo, it's good. You're done. That's it, no more? What
why how are you go?
Speaker 6 (20:11):
You said the Lakers Warriors games are starting too late?
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yeah, yeah, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
If those games started earlier, East Coast games would have
to get going at like four pm Eastern time, and
people would still be at work. And also it would
be terrible for ratings.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Oh yeah, well, on the subject of terrible for ratings.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
You yeah, you know what else? I wish God going earlier.
The hitman that we hired to kill you yees to
get moving the Yeah, let's go already all right, that's it,
We're done.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Let's get out of heree what.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
Go You said in your quote unquote analysis that if
the Sixers wanted to beat the Celtics, they need to
play better defense.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah, bro hundred.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
What Yeah that's not analysis. That's clear to pretty much everybody.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Oh yeah, well you know what's also clear to pretty
much everybody that you need to die. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
You know who else plays great defense? Women when you
ask them out?
