metric in our business called KUM. That's short fork cumulative
audience for you amateurs out there. Yeah, and you know people,
we just checked our recent CULM and it is huge,
(01:09):
isn't it, Dony.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
The volume of our CUM is off the charts. I mean,
our CUM covers everybody everywhere. It's such a huge level
of cume.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
You know, some older hosts, they have a declining level
of kulm. Not natur is as robust and strong as
it was in our early twenties, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
And now we're streaming this show too. Our streams is
so big and powerful that it only increases our already
heavy cum.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yep. And you know our cum is just so far reaching,
just so far raised. Anyway, enough about us, you know,
today we're gonna discuss the big brew haha going down
in sports talk. Of course, we're talking about the Shannon
Shop break up with Skip Baylors. And to get his thoughts,
we're gonna bring on someone who also co hosted a

Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Well, before we get to the show, it's a time
for a quick word from our good friends at sleep number.
Do you use a mattress that doesn't have an elaborate
number system? How the do you even sleep at night?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Now, I don't actually use a mattress because I sleep
on a waterbed, which is far superior and a better
way to sleep. But if Sleep Number ever made a waterbed,
I would definitely use.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
One, absolutely. And the special deal for audience get this
go to sleep number dot com right now and to
the promo code Fusco. You get fifty percent off the
seventh mattress you buy. Offer only valid in Quam sleep Wow.
All right, well, there you go, Downy.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
And you go another check in the mail, get right.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Into our top story story. Okay, first of all, we
know you're all tune it in right now because you
want to get our reaction to Game three at the
NBA Finals. Look, we're gonna let you behind the scenes here. Okay,
we're not live right now, not live on this podcast.
You probably thought we were live, but look it's actually
(03:12):
Wednesday right now at about four pm. We got things
going on tonight more important than a useless Game three.
But if you want a reaction, right Tony, if they
want a reaction, here, we'll give it to you here
and watch this, Hey, Tony, the Nuggets won Game three.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Your thoughts, big win on the road for Denver. This
totally swings momentum back in their favor. The Heat need
to make several key adjustments if they want to win
Game four.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
All right, now do one for the Heat. Winning Game three,
big win at home for the Heat.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
This totally keeps the momentum they had after winning Game two.
The Nuggets need to make several key adjustments if they
want to win Game four.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
So there you go, people, there's our reaction.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, there you go with done.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Anyway, talking about the Nuggets. You know, this week we
saw the biggest turnaround in sports talk history. You know,
a few months ago, ESPN's Kendrick Perkins, he came out
and he said the only reason MVP voters were voting
for a Nicola Jokic was because he was white. Well,
now suddenly he's flip flopped. He's saying, well, Djokich is
the greatest cent ever to play the game. And he
(04:19):
didn't even stop that, Tony. He said, ESPN should do
more to promote jok They should stop talking about Lebron
and the Lakers and do more jokes talk. And he
is so right, isn't it, Tony?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Absolutely?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
You know, in the midst of all these ESPN layoffs,
finally someone has a solution. More jokeick talk that should
turn ratings around right away in the right direction.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yup. In fact, you know, it's such a smart formula
for success toting that we're going to adopt it right
here on the show, right now, starting today and every
week from now on, we're going to bring you five
straight minutes of uninterrupted Nicola uck. In fact, here we go,
Tony here, start the clock at five minutes. Okay, Tony
Nicola djokits NBA Finals, Your thoughts?
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Wow? So much to say? I better talk quick so
I can fit it all in. You know, Jokick is
a great shooter, a dynamic big man who can do
it all, and now he's a one time MVP and
possibly an NBA champion.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
So how are we doing on time?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
So great, Tony, only about the four minutes and thirty
seconds left to go? Keep it rolling.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
You know, Jokick also has a great basketball sence. He's
got so much court awareness and skills. He can really
do it all. How are we doing on time?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Still about the four minutes and ten seconds to go?
But this is terrific content. Just keep it going, Tony.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yeah, you know he's also from SERB, so that's something.
And don't forget the nickname Dude Joker. That's a great
nickname because it comes from the very successful Batman franchise,
So Nuggets Batman, both successful franchises, one from the world
(06:19):
of film and the other from the world of sports.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
How are we doing on time?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I still got about three and a half minutes to
go here. But you know, did you mention he's tall
to Tony?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
No? No, I didn't. So, yeah, he's tall.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
He takes up a lot of space, he can MANEUVERA.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Hate the terrific segment. But we just got big breaking
golf news. Hit the sounds all right, this is justin Tony,
the PG eight door and the Live Golf door they're merging. Wow, Tony,
just a lot the process here. Your instant reaction to
(07:03):
this news.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
You know, I admittedly haven't been following.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
This story too closely, but there's one thing I know
for sure. There was no way the Live tour could
have ever succeeded. Saudi Arabia is a desert. You can't
play golf in a desert. It's just one big bunker.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Terrific point, Dony, I was thinking the same thing. You know,
this is probably why they were paying the golfers so much.
I mean, it's so much harder to play out of
the sand. You know, it seems like a win now
for both sides here, it doesn't.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
This does give hope for other leagues to merge, Like
hopefully one day we can end the division between the
NFL and the XFL. It's unfair that the Arlington Renegades
aren't given a shot at the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Terrific point, Dony, Thank you. Wait what were we talking
about before this news came down? What was it?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
You know, I don't even remember. So let's just keep moving.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yeah, let's just continue with another top stories. Hey, this
one out of football too, big development out of Dallas.
The Cowboys. They're dropping wide receiver Antonio Callaway because he
was caught driving with a suspended license of so ridiculous.
This is just a huge mistake by Callaway, wasn't it?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Big mistake by Calloway here?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
You know, if you want to make the Cowboys, you
can't commit a misdemeanor. You got to commit at the
very least a felony, you know, maybe soliciting a prostitut,
maybe some awesome a little grand theft, lossony, manslaughter may
be a little much, but being an accessory to murder
(08:46):
might be the right move to secure a spot on
the fifty three man roster. This was just a huge
misjudgment by Calloway.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Here such terrific analysis that dont now let's move to
a huge store. In the world of sports talk, Shannon's
Shop says they'll be leaving Undisputed, breaking up with his
co host Skip Bayless after the conclusion YEP of the
NBA Finals. Affording to reports Tony Skip Bayless, he's looking
(09:13):
for a replacement who won't argue with him so much,
won't you know, debate him.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
As so much?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yeah, we totally agree with what Skip is doing.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
He absolutely Who why.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Would anyone in their right mind want to have a
co host on their own show who disagrees with everything
they say? You want that, Tony, No, I mean that
makes absolutely no sense, right. I mean, you can have compelling,
interesting conversation just like the one we're having right now
(09:45):
and agree on everything.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Right, you'll hit the nail smack on the head as usual.
I got nothing further to add because you nailed it.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
There you go, see you go. That's how it's done,
That's how you do it, right.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
There.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Look perfect timing because toda us this. We got our
guests coming on the line. So let's bring him on
the FUSCO Satellite.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Network, Satellite World.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
All right, this guy is a former Pro Bowl defensive end.
He played ten seasons in the National Football League, you know, Bills, Chargers, Cowboys,
Jaguars and not just Jaguar teams actually good Jaguars.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Good team. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
So anyway, you know, he's making a name for himself
and broadcasting. He's been on a bunch of shows, but
never this one, so I'm sure this is a huge
deal for Let's bring him on here. Marcellus Wiley, Welcome
to this.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Welcome to the show.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Oh man, this is what it feels like to be
at the top of the mountain.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Man up, that's how you do it to you. You know,
we want to get your thoughts on this. All Shannon
shops Skip Bayless breakups since you you you know, you
used to work at FS one, you know. Now, apparently
the reports are that Skip wants to replace Shannon with
someone who agrees with them, and we think that's the
totally approach. You know, you've hosted these debate shows, don't
(11:03):
you think it's just better for everybody if the other
person just agrees with everything you say. You know, Tony
agrees with me on that, don't you all the time?
Speaker 5 (11:13):
There's no way.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
And look, if Skip is waiting for somebody to agree
with him to be his co host, he's gonna be
doing that show by his damn self for the rest
of his life. Ain't nobody gonna fully agree with Skip?
Tell e anythink Skip agrees with him depends on if
it's a Monday or Tuesday.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
The opinions will change.
Speaker 6 (11:27):
Oh man, I just think that what happen is Skip
is stuck in his ways. He's been uber successful and
yelling at people and yelling at players, and another guy
finally got as big as him, if not bigger, and
he didn't want to change the game plan, didn't want
to share the reps.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
What you do have some experience here, right, You know
you co hosted Speak for Yourself.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
With Jason with Wetlock, which from.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
All reports was an absolutely miserable experience for you and
also the viewers that had us. You know, the show
was called Speak for Yourself, Yet every time you tried
to speak Whitlock with interrupt you'll not take us behind
the curtain, how heated? Did it become backstage? Did Whitlock
ever try and sit on you or something like that?
Speaker 6 (12:08):
As big as Winlock in I'm bigger, so he better not.
And I got these younger muscles, so that would have hurt.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
No.
Speaker 6 (12:15):
You know what's funny about Winlock. He actually is a
great listener. He does have very concrete opinions. Hard to
move him off his opinion, but he is open to it.
We only had two like contentious moments where we were
about to really take it to another level. Other than that,
he had respect for me, So I actually had a
good A few of our guests. He undressed them on air,
(12:37):
undressed them off air, and I thought that was a
little crossing the line and that it was fun.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Man. I like actually working with Wilock.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
You know, it's hard to move Whitlock off of anything,
especially a chair from what I've heard, But you know,
the you know the hold on, you know the skip
bailer's job is available. You know you do have an
experience there. Would you take it if it was offered
to you?
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Man?
Speaker 6 (12:59):
I mean look corny and cliche, never say never, but nah,
what I know of it? Three thirty in the morning
wake Up call. Got to deal with Skip in terms
of him controlling the show, not creating the show, not
creating the You do bring up.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
An interesting point. These guys have to get up so early,
you know early, get up before a line. I'm angry.
What if you Undisputed on it, let's say three pm,
maybe seven pm? Do you think anyone would just be happier?
Speaker 5 (13:26):
I think so.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
I mean more than that, I just don't believe what
we do for a living, which is just talk about sports.
You have to prepare longer than the actual show is.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Exactly, and that's why we get back the show with
no prep We just show up and show up, and
we go and we agree all the Let's just do
a quick you know, we got a lot of viewers
see a lot of eyeballs on the show. Let's do
an audition right now. I pretend you're auditioning for Undisputed.
Skip just said Lebron is a total failure and embarrassment
to the NBA. What do you say back to that?
Speaker 6 (13:58):
God?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Like?
Speaker 5 (14:00):
You know what? What do they say?
Speaker 6 (14:01):
Don't respond to fools because from a distance they can't
tell who is who I would look like Skip trying
to argue that, like it's hard why I don't even
want to do the show because it's like they're so
I'm not a debater, I'm a discusser. And plus I
got too much love Lebron. I think he's the goat
if he's not a number too all the time and
(14:23):
he's totally horrible.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
I just laughed a skip at those moments. I couldn't
even do it.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Probably best that you yet don't. Don't audition for that,
ye don't anyway. Staying in the field of sports, doc
Kendrick Perkins said ESPN should talk less Lebron and more jokick.
Now you know ESPN has been losing all these viewers bleeding.
Don't you think that strategy of more JOKEI it talk
(14:49):
would save the net all the time?
Speaker 6 (14:51):
You kick, I think they should, but at the same time,
you can't force it.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
It's not just because he's not a eric kinborn or
he's a European player. It's his style of play that
is just not as attractive. I give it to you
like this. When we first saw Christaph Perzingis hit the league,
they were talking a lot about him, a seven foot
three unicorn that can shoot three pointers because his style
of play was athletic. When you look at Jo Kitsch,
he's barely above the floor. So you're like, okay, that's
(15:21):
part one. Part two is big men don't sell Sneakers
used to be an adage.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
A lot of people said, that's why the Georges are
soap poppus.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
You know what, Tony Mark, this is not interesting at all.
We're just gonna move on, you know. Sorry, we apologize
Kendrick Perkins. Maybe should you know? It's not your fault.
It's Kendrick Perkins' fault.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Yeah, we shouldn't listen.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
We should have mobiles to the Let's move to the NFL. Right,
you played the Dallas Cowboys, Right, you just saw the
nose Antonio Callaway so deceible dropped by the team after
he drove with a suspended license. Don't you think this
was a mistake by Callaway? You know, because if you
want to make the Cowboys rosta, don't you have to
do a bigger crime like Austin or grand Lossy. Oh
(16:04):
you know, maybe not manslaughter, but.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Assisting in a many assisted man.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
For all that, to secure his roster spot.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
You gotta wear mink coat in July going to court.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Remember game you do?
Speaker 5 (16:19):
That's when they were man.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Who hasn't driven with a suspended license though before got like.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
I'm sorry, uh.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
No, no, you know, I like where your head's at.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
All right, keep going, you guys don't driving Philly, I
guess because in California out here show first.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
But okay, yeah, you know, obviously.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Y'all didn't win a super Bowl. That's only for the.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Super you're winning a super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
But yeah, runner up?
Speaker 6 (16:46):
Kidding me up to places because y'all ain't the champs. Champs,
get show for y'all runner up.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yeah. This this is coming from a guy who played
for the Chargers and the.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Jack Yeah, this guy who was a big Clippers fan.
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (16:58):
This guy came out talks about chip Chip City, Potato
chip City.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Over here, mister.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
B is cracked over their old little brothers want to
be New York As.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Are you kidding? Are you kidding? You know what?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
To slow it down there, he's getting a little too
big for his brick.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Yeah, see, this is why it's not working. He has
to agree. We're trying to teach him. You don't agree
when it.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Guess like this, you know what, Look, we don't want
to throw you off just yet because you know, we
believe in agreement. So maybe you'll just we'll try one
more time shot here. You know, we don't like to
talk politics on the show, but serious business here. Joe
Biden just had the chiefs to the White House to
you know, to celebrate their dubious super.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Bowl win, very dubious.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Do you think this is a very controversial move for
both sides here, because you know, given that the result
of the super Bowl is still up for debate, as
is the result of the presidential election, don't you don't
you think this is a bad move?
Speaker 6 (18:00):
Well, I think it's a bad omen because in the situation,
didn't he just take the jersey and walk away and
didn't grab the helmet, didn't grab the ball man?
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Yeah, we didn't watch you kidding me? And the results
of the super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
You agree that the you know, we should legislate the
result of the super Bowl first, Yeah, we're going to
talk to the president.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
First. You needed to tell Jayleen Hurst just hold on
to that football.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
That well, you can you can hold onto Yeah, you
can hold on though, yeah, and hold on to a
life raft because yeah, because.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
That's why you're flowing off the show. You're onto a show.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Because yeah, you sold us Billow gigs.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
You're off the.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Show.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
See when you so Shad?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Is he off the line?
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Jay, hang up the phone.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
You know why that segment didn't work, Tony? There wasn't
enough agreement.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Totally right again, absolutely great, great point.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
There you go. But one thing we can't agree on,
Tony is that other than that, it was a terrific person.
It really was around. Yeah, of course good friends at sleep.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Number hang on.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Come on produce it, Jay, somebody I wish we could
put to sleep.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
What do you want?
Speaker 7 (19:29):
Corrections?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
What?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
What? Hurry? First?
Speaker 7 (19:33):
Number one, you said the Live Tour held its tournaments
in the desert in Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah, yeah, bro may makes sense.
Speaker 7 (19:41):
Yeah, the tournaments were held on courses in America. They
weren't held in the desert.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Oh yeah, well you're gonna be held in the desert
in the hole I throw you in.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Yeah, you're not gonna be on the Live Tour. You're
gonna be on the Dead Tour. Yeah you're done. You're done.
That's it, no more.
Speaker 7 (20:06):
You said that like the PGA and the Live Tour,
the NFL should merge with the XFL.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yes, smart business, bro, good for both leagues.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:16):
No, the NFL is like a thousand times bigger than
the XFL. Acquiring the XFL would add no value to
the NFL.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Well, on the subject of adding no value.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
You, yeah, you know what is going to merge my
foot to your balls?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Yea, you're done. That's it. We're rut it here for.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
The hundredth time. You guys keep saying Nicola joke kick.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Yeah, that's his name.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
That's his name, bro, No it's not.
Speaker 7 (20:49):
It's Nikola Jokic. You want to try saying that back?
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Do you want to try shutting the up?
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Actually, don't worry. I'll pronounce it right for you. His
name is suckle of my ball's itch. Yea, you're done.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Absolutely. And by the way, Tony, do you see our
recent numbers report we got, you know, business people. Yeah,
we're gonna take you behind the curtain here. There's a
metric in our business called KUM. That's short fork cumulative
audience for you amateurs out there. Yeah, and you know people,
we just checked our recent CULM and it is huge,
(01:09):
isn't it, Dony.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
The volume of our CUM is off the charts. I mean,
our CUM covers everybody everywhere. It's such a huge level
of cume.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
You know, some older hosts, they have a declining level
of kulm. Not natur is as robust and strong as
it was in our early twenties, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
And now we're streaming this show too. Our streams is
so big and powerful that it only increases our already
heavy cum.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yep. And you know our cum is just so far reaching,
just so far raised. Anyway, enough about us, you know,
today we're gonna discuss the big brew haha going down
in sports talk. Of course, we're talking about the Shannon
Shop break up with Skip Baylors. And to get his thoughts,
we're gonna bring on someone who also co hosted a
show there at the Fox Sports one, the Debate Show
(02:00):
If All the NFL pro Bola, Marcellus Wiley, And we're
gonna see which side he's taken in all this.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Yeah it better be the correct side.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Well, before we get to the show, it's a time
for a quick word from our good friends at sleep number.
Do you use a mattress that doesn't have an elaborate
number system? How the do you even sleep at night?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Now, I don't actually use a mattress because I sleep
on a waterbed, which is far superior and a better
way to sleep. But if Sleep Number ever made a waterbed,
I would definitely use.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
One, absolutely. And the special deal for audience get this
go to sleep number dot com right now and to
the promo code Fusco. You get fifty percent off the
seventh mattress you buy. Offer only valid in Quam sleep Wow.
All right, well, there you go, Downy.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
And you go another check in the mail, get right.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Into our top story story. Okay, first of all, we
know you're all tune it in right now because you
want to get our reaction to Game three at the
NBA Finals. Look, we're gonna let you behind the scenes here. Okay,
we're not live right now, not live on this podcast.
You probably thought we were live, but look it's actually
(03:12):
Wednesday right now at about four pm. We got things
going on tonight more important than a useless Game three.
But if you want a reaction, right Tony, if they
want a reaction, here, we'll give it to you here
and watch this, Hey, Tony, the Nuggets won Game three.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Your thoughts, big win on the road for Denver. This
totally swings momentum back in their favor. The Heat need
to make several key adjustments if they want to win
Game four.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
All right, now do one for the Heat. Winning Game three,
big win at home for the Heat.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
This totally keeps the momentum they had after winning Game two.
The Nuggets need to make several key adjustments if they
want to win Game four.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
So there you go, people, there's our reaction.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, there you go with done.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Anyway, talking about the Nuggets. You know, this week we
saw the biggest turnaround in sports talk history. You know,
a few months ago, ESPN's Kendrick Perkins, he came out
and he said the only reason MVP voters were voting
for a Nicola Jokic was because he was white. Well,
now suddenly he's flip flopped. He's saying, well, Djokich is
the greatest cent ever to play the game. And he
(04:19):
didn't even stop that, Tony. He said, ESPN should do
more to promote jok They should stop talking about Lebron
and the Lakers and do more jokes talk. And he
is so right, isn't it, Tony?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Absolutely?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
You know, in the midst of all these ESPN layoffs,
finally someone has a solution. More jokeick talk that should
turn ratings around right away in the right direction.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yup. In fact, you know, it's such a smart formula
for success toting that we're going to adopt it right
here on the show, right now, starting today and every
week from now on, we're going to bring you five
straight minutes of uninterrupted Nicola uck. In fact, here we go,
Tony here, start the clock at five minutes. Okay, Tony
Nicola djokits NBA Finals, Your thoughts?
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Wow? So much to say? I better talk quick so
I can fit it all in. You know, Jokick is
a great shooter, a dynamic big man who can do
it all, and now he's a one time MVP and
possibly an NBA champion.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
So how are we doing on time?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
So great, Tony, only about the four minutes and thirty
seconds left to go? Keep it rolling.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
You know, Jokick also has a great basketball sence. He's
got so much court awareness and skills. He can really
do it all. How are we doing on time?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Still about the four minutes and ten seconds to go?
But this is terrific content. Just keep it going, Tony.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yeah, you know he's also from SERB, so that's something.
And don't forget the nickname Dude Joker. That's a great
nickname because it comes from the very successful Batman franchise,
So Nuggets Batman, both successful franchises, one from the world
(06:19):
of film and the other from the world of sports.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
How are we doing on time?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I still got about three and a half minutes to
go here. But you know, did you mention he's tall
to Tony?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
No? No, I didn't. So, yeah, he's tall.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
He takes up a lot of space, he can MANEUVERA.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Hate the terrific segment. But we just got big breaking
golf news. Hit the sounds all right, this is justin Tony,
the PG eight door and the Live Golf door they're merging. Wow, Tony,
just a lot the process here. Your instant reaction to
(07:03):
this news.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
You know, I admittedly haven't been following.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
This story too closely, but there's one thing I know
for sure. There was no way the Live tour could
have ever succeeded. Saudi Arabia is a desert. You can't
play golf in a desert. It's just one big bunker.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Terrific point, Dony, I was thinking the same thing. You know,
this is probably why they were paying the golfers so much.
I mean, it's so much harder to play out of
the sand. You know, it seems like a win now
for both sides here, it doesn't.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
This does give hope for other leagues to merge, Like
hopefully one day we can end the division between the
NFL and the XFL. It's unfair that the Arlington Renegades
aren't given a shot at the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Terrific point, Dony, Thank you. Wait what were we talking
about before this news came down? What was it?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
You know, I don't even remember. So let's just keep moving.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yeah, let's just continue with another top stories. Hey, this
one out of football too, big development out of Dallas.
The Cowboys. They're dropping wide receiver Antonio Callaway because he
was caught driving with a suspended license of so ridiculous.
This is just a huge mistake by Callaway, wasn't it?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Big mistake by Calloway here?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
You know, if you want to make the Cowboys, you
can't commit a misdemeanor. You got to commit at the
very least a felony, you know, maybe soliciting a prostitut,
maybe some awesome a little grand theft, lossony, manslaughter may
be a little much, but being an accessory to murder
(08:46):
might be the right move to secure a spot on
the fifty three man roster. This was just a huge
misjudgment by Calloway.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Here such terrific analysis that dont now let's move to
a huge store. In the world of sports talk, Shannon's
Shop says they'll be leaving Undisputed, breaking up with his
co host Skip Bayless after the conclusion YEP of the
NBA Finals. Affording to reports Tony Skip Bayless, he's looking
(09:13):
for a replacement who won't argue with him so much,
won't you know, debate him.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
As so much?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yeah, we totally agree with what Skip is doing.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
He absolutely Who why.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Would anyone in their right mind want to have a
co host on their own show who disagrees with everything
they say? You want that, Tony, No, I mean that
makes absolutely no sense, right. I mean, you can have compelling,
interesting conversation just like the one we're having right now
(09:45):
and agree on everything.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Right, you'll hit the nail smack on the head as usual.
I got nothing further to add because you nailed it.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
There you go, see you go. That's how it's done,
That's how you do it, right.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
There.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Look perfect timing because toda us this. We got our
guests coming on the line. So let's bring him on
the FUSCO Satellite.
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Network, Satellite World.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
All right, this guy is a former Pro Bowl defensive end.
He played ten seasons in the National Football League, you know, Bills, Chargers, Cowboys,
Jaguars and not just Jaguar teams actually good Jaguars.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Good team. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
So anyway, you know, he's making a name for himself
and broadcasting. He's been on a bunch of shows, but
never this one, so I'm sure this is a huge
deal for Let's bring him on here. Marcellus Wiley, Welcome
to this.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Welcome to the show.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Oh man, this is what it feels like to be
at the top of the mountain.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Man up, that's how you do it to you. You know,
we want to get your thoughts on this. All Shannon
shops Skip Bayless breakups since you you you know, you
used to work at FS one, you know. Now, apparently
the reports are that Skip wants to replace Shannon with
someone who agrees with them, and we think that's the
totally approach. You know, you've hosted these debate shows, don't
(11:03):
you think it's just better for everybody if the other
person just agrees with everything you say. You know, Tony
agrees with me on that, don't you all the time?
Speaker 5 (11:13):
There's no way.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
And look, if Skip is waiting for somebody to agree
with him to be his co host, he's gonna be
doing that show by his damn self for the rest
of his life. Ain't nobody gonna fully agree with Skip?
Tell e anythink Skip agrees with him depends on if
it's a Monday or Tuesday.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
The opinions will change.
Speaker 6 (11:27):
Oh man, I just think that what happen is Skip
is stuck in his ways. He's been uber successful and
yelling at people and yelling at players, and another guy
finally got as big as him, if not bigger, and
he didn't want to change the game plan, didn't want
to share the reps.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
What you do have some experience here, right, You know
you co hosted Speak for Yourself.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
With Jason with Wetlock, which from.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
All reports was an absolutely miserable experience for you and
also the viewers that had us. You know, the show
was called Speak for Yourself, Yet every time you tried
to speak Whitlock with interrupt you'll not take us behind
the curtain, how heated? Did it become backstage? Did Whitlock
ever try and sit on you or something like that?
Speaker 6 (12:08):
As big as Winlock in I'm bigger, so he better not.
And I got these younger muscles, so that would have hurt.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
No.
Speaker 6 (12:15):
You know what's funny about Winlock. He actually is a
great listener. He does have very concrete opinions. Hard to
move him off his opinion, but he is open to it.
We only had two like contentious moments where we were
about to really take it to another level. Other than that,
he had respect for me, So I actually had a
good A few of our guests. He undressed them on air,
(12:37):
undressed them off air, and I thought that was a
little crossing the line and that it was fun.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Man. I like actually working with Wilock.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
You know, it's hard to move Whitlock off of anything,
especially a chair from what I've heard, But you know,
the you know the hold on, you know the skip
bailer's job is available. You know you do have an
experience there. Would you take it if it was offered
to you?
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Man?
Speaker 6 (12:59):
I mean look corny and cliche, never say never, but nah,
what I know of it? Three thirty in the morning
wake Up call. Got to deal with Skip in terms
of him controlling the show, not creating the show, not
creating the You do bring up.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
An interesting point. These guys have to get up so early,
you know early, get up before a line. I'm angry.
What if you Undisputed on it, let's say three pm,
maybe seven pm? Do you think anyone would just be happier?
Speaker 5 (13:26):
I think so.
Speaker 6 (13:27):
I mean more than that, I just don't believe what
we do for a living, which is just talk about sports.
You have to prepare longer than the actual show is.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Exactly, and that's why we get back the show with
no prep We just show up and show up, and
we go and we agree all the Let's just do
a quick you know, we got a lot of viewers
see a lot of eyeballs on the show. Let's do
an audition right now. I pretend you're auditioning for Undisputed.
Skip just said Lebron is a total failure and embarrassment
to the NBA. What do you say back to that?
Speaker 6 (13:58):
God?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Like?
Speaker 5 (14:00):
You know what? What do they say?
Speaker 6 (14:01):
Don't respond to fools because from a distance they can't
tell who is who I would look like Skip trying
to argue that, like it's hard why I don't even
want to do the show because it's like they're so
I'm not a debater, I'm a discusser. And plus I
got too much love Lebron. I think he's the goat
if he's not a number too all the time and
(14:23):
he's totally horrible.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
I just laughed a skip at those moments. I couldn't
even do it.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Probably best that you yet don't. Don't audition for that,
ye don't anyway. Staying in the field of sports, doc
Kendrick Perkins said ESPN should talk less Lebron and more jokick.
Now you know ESPN has been losing all these viewers bleeding.
Don't you think that strategy of more JOKEI it talk
(14:49):
would save the net all the time?
Speaker 6 (14:51):
You kick, I think they should, but at the same time,
you can't force it.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
It's not just because he's not a eric kinborn or
he's a European player. It's his style of play that
is just not as attractive. I give it to you
like this. When we first saw Christaph Perzingis hit the league,
they were talking a lot about him, a seven foot
three unicorn that can shoot three pointers because his style
of play was athletic. When you look at Jo Kitsch,
he's barely above the floor. So you're like, okay, that's
(15:21):
part one. Part two is big men don't sell Sneakers
used to be an adage.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
A lot of people said, that's why the Georges are
soap poppus.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
You know what, Tony Mark, this is not interesting at all.
We're just gonna move on, you know. Sorry, we apologize
Kendrick Perkins. Maybe should you know? It's not your fault.
It's Kendrick Perkins' fault.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Yeah, we shouldn't listen.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
We should have mobiles to the Let's move to the NFL. Right,
you played the Dallas Cowboys, Right, you just saw the
nose Antonio Callaway so deceible dropped by the team after
he drove with a suspended license. Don't you think this
was a mistake by Callaway? You know, because if you
want to make the Cowboys rosta, don't you have to
do a bigger crime like Austin or grand Lossy. Oh
(16:04):
you know, maybe not manslaughter, but.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Assisting in a many assisted man.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
For all that, to secure his roster spot.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
You gotta wear mink coat in July going to court.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Remember game you do?
Speaker 5 (16:19):
That's when they were man.
Speaker 6 (16:21):
Who hasn't driven with a suspended license though before got like.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
I'm sorry, uh.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
No, no, you know, I like where your head's at.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
All right, keep going, you guys don't driving Philly, I
guess because in California out here show first.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
But okay, yeah, you know, obviously.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Y'all didn't win a super Bowl. That's only for the.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Super you're winning a super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
But yeah, runner up?
Speaker 6 (16:46):
Kidding me up to places because y'all ain't the champs. Champs,
get show for y'all runner up.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yeah. This this is coming from a guy who played
for the Chargers and the.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Jack Yeah, this guy who was a big Clippers fan.
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (16:58):
This guy came out talks about chip Chip City, Potato
chip City.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Over here, mister.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
B is cracked over their old little brothers want to
be New York As.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Are you kidding? Are you kidding? You know what?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
To slow it down there, he's getting a little too
big for his brick.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Yeah, see, this is why it's not working. He has
to agree. We're trying to teach him. You don't agree
when it.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Guess like this, you know what, Look, we don't want
to throw you off just yet because you know, we
believe in agreement. So maybe you'll just we'll try one
more time shot here. You know, we don't like to
talk politics on the show, but serious business here. Joe
Biden just had the chiefs to the White House to
you know, to celebrate their dubious super.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Bowl win, very dubious.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Do you think this is a very controversial move for
both sides here, because you know, given that the result
of the super Bowl is still up for debate, as
is the result of the presidential election, don't you don't
you think this is a bad move?
Speaker 6 (18:00):
Well, I think it's a bad omen because in the situation,
didn't he just take the jersey and walk away and
didn't grab the helmet, didn't grab the ball man?
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Yeah, we didn't watch you kidding me? And the results
of the super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
You agree that the you know, we should legislate the
result of the super Bowl first, Yeah, we're going to
talk to the president.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
First. You needed to tell Jayleen Hurst just hold on
to that football.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
That well, you can you can hold onto Yeah, you
can hold on though, yeah, and hold on to a
life raft because yeah, because.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
That's why you're flowing off the show. You're onto a show.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Because yeah, you sold us Billow gigs.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
You're off the.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Show.
Speaker 6 (18:50):
See when you so Shad?
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Is he off the line?
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Jay, hang up the phone.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
You know why that segment didn't work, Tony? There wasn't
enough agreement.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Totally right again, absolutely great, great point.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
There you go. But one thing we can't agree on,
Tony is that other than that, it was a terrific person.
It really was around. Yeah, of course good friends at sleep.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Number hang on.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Come on produce it, Jay, somebody I wish we could
put to sleep.

Corrections?
Speaker 1 (19:30):
What?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
What? Hurry? First?
Speaker 7 (19:33):
Number one, you said the Live Tour held its tournaments
in the desert in Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah, yeah, bro may makes sense.
Speaker 7 (19:41):
Yeah, the tournaments were held on courses in America. They
weren't held in the desert.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Oh yeah, well you're gonna be held in the desert
in the hole I throw you in.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Yeah, you're not gonna be on the Live Tour. You're
gonna be on the Dead Tour. Yeah you're done. You're done.
That's it, no more.
Speaker 7 (20:06):
You said that like the PGA and the Live Tour,
the NFL should merge with the XFL.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yes, smart business, bro, good for both leagues.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:16):
No, the NFL is like a thousand times bigger than
the XFL. Acquiring the XFL would add no value to
the NFL.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Well, on the subject of adding no value.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
You, yeah, you know what is going to merge my
foot to your balls?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Yea, you're done. That's it. We're rut it here for.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
The hundredth time. You guys keep saying Nicola joke kick.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Yeah, that's his name.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
That's his name, bro, No it's not.
Speaker 7 (20:49):
It's Nikola Jokic. You want to try saying that back?
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Do you want to try shutting the up?
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Actually, don't worry. I'll pronounce it right for you. His
name is suckle of my ball's itch. Yea, you're done.
