Speaker 1 (00:00):
On today's show, we're going to end the feud between
Kevin Durant and some other less famous guy.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Let's go rowdy andro.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Right, alright, your moment or your life from Philly. It's
the number one rigging Paully and Tony Fools go show,
y'all as always, Paully Fools go here with Tony Foolsco
and Tony Yo.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Huge show today.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
You know, tell you how Damian Lillard is crushing every NBA.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Star that's called the T's. It's called the T's people.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
And we'll also tell you why people are rightly upset
about the NBA draft that's called the double teas.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Anyway, Well, first off, though, a.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Huge announcement here. We just received a proposal from YouTube.
He apparently would like to make us quote partners. You know, Cony,
this just shows the power of our brand. You know
that a company does like YouTube, begging to get into
business with us.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Well, as they say, if you can't beat them, well
then you're a loser.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
They do say that anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yeah, yeah, So we're going to decide if we want
to accept this proposal. Probably not, but anyway, on today's show,
as we told you up top, there's a certain member
of the media in what you'd call a brew haha
with Kevin Durant. You know, war of words is going
on between them, and people are asking us, They're coming
up to us and asking, hey, what side are you
on and all this.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
What's answer? None, exactly wrong.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, but you know, as we say on the show,
we need to stop embracing debate and start erasing debates.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
So what we're gonna do.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
We're gonna try and you know, get them together here
kind of end this sent KD on the show, but
he respectfully ignored our request. But we did get the
other guy in no surprise. There fs one's Jason McIntyre.
And we're going to try to put this feud to bed,
aren't we don't.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, yeah, we're going to bend defences here exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
But before that, it's time to address another situation, your
financial situation. And that's why it's time for a message
from our good friends at Bank of America. Do you
put your money in banks other than Bank of America, Well,
then you're a trader to your country.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Yeah, it's called Bank of America.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
How much more do you need to know?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Stop betraying your government? And start investing wisely. And there's
a special deal for our audience. Open an account.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Now, use the promo called Fusco.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
And receive ten dollars cash back for every deposit over
one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Offer only valid in Western Idaho Bank of America.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
There you go, another check in the mail.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, And now that we got that out of the way,
it's time to get into our top story story.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
All right, first out the gate.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
If you've been not following the sports headlines, you know
one of the top stories has been Damian Lillard potential
trade dark and now recent reports seem to indicate that
Lillard will continue to stay in Portland, where he's been
for about nineteen seasons now. Now, Tony, when you break
it down, this is the smart decision here, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Absolutely?
Speaker 4 (03:21):
You know, most NBA stars seek to dominate in May
and June, but Damian Lillard has been all out dominating July.
When July rolls around, he starts racking up more bleacher
report headlines than any other NBA player. So he should
definitely stay in Portland where he can continue this historic
(03:41):
offseason domination.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Great point, Tony, and that leads to another big topic
out of the NBA controversy still swirling around the NBA draft.
FanDuel insider Shams Sharania tweeted right before the draft that
Scoot Henderson was quote gaining serious momentum at number two
with the Hornets, but then the Hornets wound up taking
(04:06):
Brandon Miller, causing people to be furious about getting this
you know, wishy washy reporting from the right show. He
looks for a betting company. Yeah, you know, and you know, people,
I don't know how to say this more clearly, Why
the hell were you trusting a guy named Shams?
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Don'ty? I mean, these people they don't have a leg
to stand on, do they. No.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
I mean, let's say someone was giving you financial advice
and was asking you to invest with him, and then
you found out his name was Joe Ponzi, would you
trust him?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Terrific point, donty.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I mean, let's just say, you know, for example, you
went to go see a doctor and her name was
Mallory Practice.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Oh, I'd be running out the door. Forget about it.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Anyway, Let's move on now. The site Awful Announcing posted
this article a blog post.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
You know it's tough to tell who knows something. Let's
just call it an article.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Well, they detailed how jen Z is quote killing sports
journalism and they're killing companies like The Athletic because you know,
gen Z is not interested in reading articles about sporting
events that took place the night before, sometimes two weeks earlier,
and Dony, this is just so troubling, is.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
It very troubling?
Speaker 4 (05:19):
You know, kids these days want this instant feedback and gratification.
They need to learn that sometimes the most enjoyment you
can get out of a game is when you read
about it about one of two weeks after it happened,
Like you know, how the Braves beat the Rockies fourteen
six backed on June seventeenth.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Of course I watched the.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Highlights, but it wasn't until I read a fifteen hundred
word recap of it in The Athletic with no pictures
of video to distract me, that I could truly appreciate
what a slugfest that game actually was.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
So beautifully said Tony.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
And now let's move to the sport of golf, where
a new report says PGA tort Play are now ready
to support the merger with the livedor if don't discontinues
to be just so shameful. You know, personally, I hope
this whole deal somehow crumbles because it's just pathetic to
see the PG eight door take money from a corrupt
(06:17):
country like Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Yeah, you know, it's shameful to see such a proud
organization like the PGA Tour compromise the morality like this.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
So true and just quick, we got to get a
word in from our newest sponsor, all natural Lebin Yogurt,
Libya's most popular brand of yogurt, beloved by his great leader,
Momar Kadafi. You're guaranteed to love it though, Leben Yogurt.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
What a great company.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Hold on, Tony, this just came through. We have breaking
those hitting us our What do we got? This report
just did on our recent episode A Sports Take with
Rob Ellis and Derek Gunn For people outside the Filly area,
it's a local show that we regularly crush in the ratings.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
But that's neither here nor there anyway.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Eagles defensive and Brandon Graham just said that the Chiefs
were lucky that the field was so wet during the
Super Bowl, and what was too slippery.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
So there we you go. That most said it, it's time.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
We are now officially reopening our inquiry into the Super
Bowl in the scandal we've called over Watergate.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Over water Game, the super Bowl cover up.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Tony your instant reaction to this breaking news.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
We all know the result of the Super Bowl was
already in doubt due to several terrible holding calls and
the fact that the better team lost. So don't be
surprised if Roger Godell steps in and declares the Super
Bowl a no contest or makes the Eagles the outright winners.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yup, And just as a refresher, you all know, we
started a very successful petition on change dot org to
overturn the Super Bowl. Let's just check in with our
producer Jay. Jay tell us, what is the current total
of signatures.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
We have.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Two hundred and fourteen Wow.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Oh four, one hundred and fourteen thousand. Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
The people have truly snow again.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
What no, no, no, it's not two hundred fourteen thousand.
It's two hundred and fourteen.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
No one really cares.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Yeah, well, nobody cares as your life story, bro, so
just shut up.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah, shut your mouth. Yeah, who asked you.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, anyway, you know what, let's just move on because
I see a guest coming on the line, so let's
go ahead and bring him on the Fusco Satellite Network.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Fusco Satellite World.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Okay, this guy, you know, co hosts The Herd with
Colin Kauer. It as a podcast straight Fire on iHeartRadio.
All Right, we got your plugs in there, McIntire because
we're professionals, that's what we do. You know, before we
get into this war of words that you got going
with Kevin Durant, you told our booker that you have
a heart out in fifteen minutes. Just for the record,
(09:17):
don't worry. You'll be lucky if you'll make it that long.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Okay exactly.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Yeah. By the way, where do you have to go?
Where you go? We're gonna go watch Colin Coward's car.
Is that where you're going?
Speaker 6 (09:26):
I got to take his luggage to the airport. Actually,
so yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Exactly, you see, we called it called it anyway, we're
gonna break down what happened here between you and Katie,
and what we're gonna do is we're gonna try and
end this beef you got going on, because we do
you know, people ask us what side are we taking
in all this?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
We think you both look like fools.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Here it for the record, but as we say on
the show, instead of embracing debate, we want.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
To a range debate.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
So let's just freakat for the audience who isn't following.
This whole thing started when you saw KD went into
a Twitter spaces chat called KD is not a top
five player and started beefing with people there. Then you
went on your podcast and you said that Kevin Durant
quote needs to get a life. So that begs the question,
how the hell did KD here you take because no offense.
(10:16):
There's no way in hell he listens to your podcast.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
No shot.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Well, let's back up a little bit. First of all,
I'm just asking you straight up question.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
If someone came out and said your podcast was not
top five and they did a Twitter spaces, would you
jump in and debate those numb nuts?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Well, that's what we thinking of all hypothetical. There is
no way in any reality that would never happen.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
So I don't even know how to respond to such
a terrible idea.
Speaker 7 (10:41):
Wait, Kevin Durant saw it, How the hell are these idiots.
Who is your bronis saying I'm not a top five
player in the league. So he goes in and yells
at them for like I don't know, forty five seconds,
ninety seconds, goes in there, squabbles with them, says this
piece and then Pizza down doesn't even say by this
click you know, like your girl did when you would
call her and you would grow.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
You're trying to make it.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Happen, all right, we don't need the analogy. Look, but
you know, look in the mirror. Turn the mirror on yourself.
You're the one saying Katie needs to get a life
and he should shouldn't be attacking people online.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
But hold on, aren't you doing doing the same thing.
Aren't you're the guy who need.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
How does this get a life? How was that attacking you?
You tell that to people all the time on this
on this podcast.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
No, we never told anyone get a life.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
But actually said that, because that takes a much more
nuanced than that.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
You know, you tell me you don't get a life,
was like a put down in an attack.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
No, it's a great show with Chris Elliot, but that's
beside the point. No, we would never know.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
A lot of great people spend their time tweeting. I mean,
look at Elon Musk, one of the top five rich
guys in the world. He's cleaning all the time. Do
you tell him to get a life?
Speaker 6 (11:49):
I would, I would. I should tell Elon mus to
get it. By the way, you know.
Speaker 7 (11:52):
I could understand if Kevin Durank got up said if
I said some stuff like what Jordan Poole said about
Draymond Green, I'm sure you heard right.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah, so Jordan?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Two NBA players, Yeah, talking about one NBA player and
a guy who plays in the rec league at the
y mc A on the weekend.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
And I might as well be an NBA player. Hey
we go, we won the title two years ago. We
love This guy is beefing with Katie. You think you're
playing in the NBA. Jim Jackson on the podcast, right,
he knows I'm close to getting.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
A ten day in the league.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
This guy factory, the factory.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Yeah, you need ten days in a mental wood. Yeah?
Give me christ How did he hear the podcast?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
You never why you why are you deflecting? How did
he hear the podcast? Did you send him a link?
Speaker 7 (12:39):
I mean he heard the podcast because you know, straight
fire is kind of blowing up.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
My guy straight fire has been around for three years.
Speaker 7 (12:44):
The numbers are crypt up, the money's creeping up, the
downloads are creeping up.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
People like the fire. I know some people can't handle
the fire.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Saw.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
Philadelphia Eagles fans maybe can't handle it.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Just sounds like your p person sent him a link.
But okay, we're reading between the line.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Let's get to the more interesting point of the story
that you're not letting us get to. All Right, So
you go and you say that Kevin Durant, he goes
and writes you back. He sends you what they call
a DM right, and he writes, You're such a clown.
You don't even like sports. You look like a drama major.
What were you What were your thoughts when you read
that mostly accurate message.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
Well, that cut that cut deep.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
A drama major, You got a drama I have to
taking zero acting classes.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
In my life.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
Maybe I need one, but that that hurt. You know,
I felt like I look like an athlete.
Speaker 7 (13:33):
You know, I work out, I got showing, I got
the gun show on my Instagram.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Thank god, I almost got He plays in the NBA
and he's a bodybuilder.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I'm dying here please.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
But the bottom line is, Katie, you know, slow play it.
And then when I respond, I hit him deep. I said, bro, well,
Michael Jordan, jump in the comment section. My guy, you
think you're a top fifteen player all time.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
See this is where I think you do realize that
Michael Jordan played in the nineteen nineth when there was
no such thing, that there was no twin a section.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
You understand how time works.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
When people say Lebron is the goat, Michael Jordan doesn't
jump in and say I want defensive player of the
year blah blah.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
But he doesn't do that.
Speaker 7 (14:14):
Michael Jordan, his resume speaks for itself, just like Kevin
durant Aby is so insecure.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
So I wrote it back and.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
I said, Jordan doesn't do that. And that's when he called.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Me You're the one calling him insecure.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I Meanwhile, you've been talking about your biceps every two
minutes on this podcast. But okay, you brought up the
most interesting point of the story. He called you the
P word. You know, you said it just to be clear.
It rhymes with woosey, which you know would have been
applicable as well. Yeah, when he called you that what
was your what was your feeling? Then when he said
something so hurtful and also kind of accurate too.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
I just went and coward in the corner. I just
was like, I had to call family members.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
I'm like, what do I do? Kevin Durant's making fun
of me? You know, I got a little joked up.
It was a tough moment for me.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
All right, hold on. He also called you a broke boy? Broke?
What do you What do you think he means by that?
Speaker 7 (15:04):
I thought he was trying to type blog boy, because
I used to have a blog, but blogs are.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
Like last decade or something.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
And I guess he means I'm broke that I have
I'm on podcast of on our TV show, I'm getting
on podcasts like this.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Then I guess I'm broke.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
How much money are you making?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
How much money do you have?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Us?
Speaker 6 (15:22):
I'm doing I'm doing all right financially.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
This has probably been the one of the most successful
year of my life.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
So what is that fifty k?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, fifty fifty k.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Higher, But it's it's been a great year.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
And okay, so he was so Kevin Durant was right.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Okay, Yeah, I think Kevin was right, I'm broke as
a joke. That is it. There you go, now, hold on.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
So all right, so he comes out, he calls you
the P word, he calls you all these names. Now,
how are you planning to respond to KD? You know,
because all that before we get car. We don't want
you to come back, you know, and say things like,
you know, eat my ring chasing back.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
That would be wrong. Yeah, that would be wrong to
do that. Don't do that, Okay, you.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Don't say something like, you know, bite my ring, chase
tending to do it.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Yeah, this is worse than eat.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
I took a screen grab of the New York Times
article that said Jason McIntyre sold the website for seven figures,
and I sent it to him.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
You don't do it?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
You think you hed and is impressed with seven figures.
He sneezes and makes seven figures.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
I mean, just to let him know him not broke.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
So I said that to him, and I think Kd's
reply was, who is this loser?
Speaker 6 (16:34):
I am wasting my time? And he didn't respond to me.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I finally had some seven figures, but there was a
decimal point or after.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
The fifth one.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, yeah, look, you know, look you know, we get
you know, you kind of flummoxed. He you know, we
can tell this is hidden nerve for you. You're probably not
sleeping well at night. So what we want to do
is we want to heal the rift here.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Yeah, we gotta we gotta heal You and.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
KD can find common ground because you're you're a troll.
You attack other people and that's what Katie is good at.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Tool.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
So don't you think you can maybe find common ground
in the fact that you're both annoying trolls who spend
way too much time online.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Yeah, you know what, I'm gonna do what Kyrie Irvic did.
Speaker 7 (17:13):
Did you see he invited that guy who rates pizzas
to play him one on one, some JABRONI from some website.
I'm gonna tell Kevin Durant, I will play you in
horse and you got to shoot left handed, and I
will play you in horses and I will take back
everything I said and I will never criticize you again.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
If you beat me.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
How's that?
Speaker 3 (17:31):
That's a terrible idea.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Look at the ego on this guy. Thought unbelievable. Beat
Kevin Durant in a game of basketball. You couldn't beat
an actual horse in a game of horse exactly. You
know what you can do is you can jump on
a horse right off into the sunset.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Show yet done show right off this show. You got
a hard out, hard out off this show? You the show?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Is he off the line?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Jay, hang up the phone, you know. Apologies to Kevin Durant.
I'm starting to take aside here. He was right about
everything there.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Yeah, yeah, I'm on k d side here. He was right,
especially about the P word part two totally anyway.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah, let's not let that ruin what was otherwise just
a terrific show of we want to bank up sponsors
Bank of America.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Yeah, whoa, oh you kidding me.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
It's someone who truly encapsulates with the P word is
all about.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Yeah, what do you want corrections? What?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Why go first? You said?
Speaker 5 (18:44):
Damian Lillard has been with the Blazers for nineteen seasons.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Yeah around there, Yeah totally.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
He was drafted in twenty twelve. He's been there for
eleven seasons. So it's not even close.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Oh yeah, well you know what is close, your imminent death.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Yeah, you're going to be a Blazer after I light
you on fire.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Yeah, you're done.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Thank you. That's it. We're done. No more.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
No what what.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
You called the NBA insider Shams Sharania.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Yeah that's his name.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Yeah, bro, it's not Shams, it's Champs. If you're covering sports,
you should probably know how to say his name correctly.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Oh yeah, well I'm going to get chum bullets and
shoot you.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
And if there's one thing we're going to be covering,
it's your dead body with cement. Yay, you have done.
Let's get out of here.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
No more.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
What last one? Go for the record, you said the
Braves beat the Rockies fourteen to six on June seventeenth. Yeah, bro, what,
Well the game was actually on June eighteenth. But we
all know accuracy isn't your thing.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Oh yeah, well, don't worry.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Accuracy will be my thing when I throw an axe
at you.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Then after that, I'm gonna take you to the Rockies
and throw you off a cliff.
Speaker 3 (20:22):

We'll see your feet next week.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
See U.
On today's show, we're going to end the feud between
Kevin Durant and some other less famous guy.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Let's go rowdy andro.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Right, alright, your moment or your life from Philly. It's
the number one rigging Paully and Tony Fools go show,
y'all as always, Paully Fools go here with Tony Foolsco
and Tony Yo.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Huge show today.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
You know, tell you how Damian Lillard is crushing every NBA.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Star that's called the T's. It's called the T's people.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
And we'll also tell you why people are rightly upset
about the NBA draft that's called the double teas.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Anyway, Well, first off, though, a.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Huge announcement here. We just received a proposal from YouTube.
He apparently would like to make us quote partners. You know, Cony,
this just shows the power of our brand. You know
that a company does like YouTube, begging to get into
business with us.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Well, as they say, if you can't beat them, well
then you're a loser.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
They do say that anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yeah, yeah, So we're going to decide if we want
to accept this proposal. Probably not, but anyway, on today's show,
as we told you up top, there's a certain member
of the media in what you'd call a brew haha
with Kevin Durant. You know, war of words is going
on between them, and people are asking us, They're coming
up to us and asking, hey, what side are you
on and all this.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
What's answer? None, exactly wrong.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yeah, but you know, as we say on the show,
we need to stop embracing debate and start erasing debates.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
So what we're gonna do.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
We're gonna try and you know, get them together here
kind of end this sent KD on the show, but
he respectfully ignored our request. But we did get the
other guy in no surprise. There fs one's Jason McIntyre.
And we're going to try to put this feud to bed,
aren't we don't.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, yeah, we're going to bend defences here exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
But before that, it's time to address another situation, your
financial situation. And that's why it's time for a message
from our good friends at Bank of America. Do you
put your money in banks other than Bank of America, Well,
then you're a trader to your country.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Yeah, it's called Bank of America.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
How much more do you need to know?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Stop betraying your government? And start investing wisely. And there's
a special deal for our audience. Open an account.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Now, use the promo called Fusco.
Speaker 1 (02:37):

one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Offer only valid in Western Idaho Bank of America.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
There you go, another check in the mail.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Yeah, And now that we got that out of the way,
it's time to get into our top story story.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
All right, first out the gate.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
If you've been not following the sports headlines, you know
one of the top stories has been Damian Lillard potential
trade dark and now recent reports seem to indicate that
Lillard will continue to stay in Portland, where he's been
for about nineteen seasons now. Now, Tony, when you break
it down, this is the smart decision here, isn't it?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Absolutely?
Speaker 4 (03:21):
You know, most NBA stars seek to dominate in May
and June, but Damian Lillard has been all out dominating July.
When July rolls around, he starts racking up more bleacher
report headlines than any other NBA player. So he should
definitely stay in Portland where he can continue this historic
(03:41):
offseason domination.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Great point, Tony, and that leads to another big topic
out of the NBA controversy still swirling around the NBA draft.
FanDuel insider Shams Sharania tweeted right before the draft that
Scoot Henderson was quote gaining serious momentum at number two
with the Hornets, but then the Hornets wound up taking
(04:06):
Brandon Miller, causing people to be furious about getting this
you know, wishy washy reporting from the right show. He
looks for a betting company. Yeah, you know, and you know, people,
I don't know how to say this more clearly, Why
the hell were you trusting a guy named Shams?
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Don'ty? I mean, these people they don't have a leg
to stand on, do they. No.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
I mean, let's say someone was giving you financial advice
and was asking you to invest with him, and then
you found out his name was Joe Ponzi, would you
trust him?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Terrific point, donty.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I mean, let's just say, you know, for example, you
went to go see a doctor and her name was
Mallory Practice.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Oh, I'd be running out the door. Forget about it.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Anyway, Let's move on now. The site Awful Announcing posted
this article a blog post.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
You know it's tough to tell who knows something. Let's
just call it an article.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Well, they detailed how jen Z is quote killing sports
journalism and they're killing companies like The Athletic because you know,
gen Z is not interested in reading articles about sporting
events that took place the night before, sometimes two weeks earlier,
and Dony, this is just so troubling, is.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
It very troubling?
Speaker 4 (05:19):
You know, kids these days want this instant feedback and gratification.
They need to learn that sometimes the most enjoyment you
can get out of a game is when you read
about it about one of two weeks after it happened,
Like you know, how the Braves beat the Rockies fourteen
six backed on June seventeenth.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Of course I watched the.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Highlights, but it wasn't until I read a fifteen hundred
word recap of it in The Athletic with no pictures
of video to distract me, that I could truly appreciate
what a slugfest that game actually was.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
So beautifully said Tony.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
And now let's move to the sport of golf, where
a new report says PGA tort Play are now ready
to support the merger with the livedor if don't discontinues
to be just so shameful. You know, personally, I hope
this whole deal somehow crumbles because it's just pathetic to
see the PG eight door take money from a corrupt
(06:17):
country like Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Yeah, you know, it's shameful to see such a proud
organization like the PGA Tour compromise the morality like this.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
So true and just quick, we got to get a
word in from our newest sponsor, all natural Lebin Yogurt,
Libya's most popular brand of yogurt, beloved by his great leader,
Momar Kadafi. You're guaranteed to love it though, Leben Yogurt.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
What a great company.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Hold on, Tony, this just came through. We have breaking
those hitting us our What do we got? This report
just did on our recent episode A Sports Take with
Rob Ellis and Derek Gunn For people outside the Filly area,
it's a local show that we regularly crush in the ratings.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
But that's neither here nor there anyway.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Eagles defensive and Brandon Graham just said that the Chiefs
were lucky that the field was so wet during the
Super Bowl, and what was too slippery.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
So there we you go. That most said it, it's time.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
We are now officially reopening our inquiry into the Super
Bowl in the scandal we've called over Watergate.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Over water Game, the super Bowl cover up.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Tony your instant reaction to this breaking news.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
We all know the result of the Super Bowl was
already in doubt due to several terrible holding calls and
the fact that the better team lost. So don't be
surprised if Roger Godell steps in and declares the Super
Bowl a no contest or makes the Eagles the outright winners.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yup, And just as a refresher, you all know, we
started a very successful petition on change dot org to
overturn the Super Bowl. Let's just check in with our
producer Jay. Jay tell us, what is the current total
of signatures.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
We have.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Two hundred and fourteen Wow.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Oh four, one hundred and fourteen thousand. Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
The people have truly snow again.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
What no, no, no, it's not two hundred fourteen thousand.
It's two hundred and fourteen.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
No one really cares.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Yeah, well, nobody cares as your life story, bro, so
just shut up.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah, shut your mouth. Yeah, who asked you.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, anyway, you know what, let's just move on because
I see a guest coming on the line, so let's
go ahead and bring him on the Fusco Satellite Network.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Fusco Satellite World.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Okay, this guy, you know, co hosts The Herd with
Colin Kauer. It as a podcast straight Fire on iHeartRadio.
All Right, we got your plugs in there, McIntire because
we're professionals, that's what we do. You know, before we
get into this war of words that you got going
with Kevin Durant, you told our booker that you have
a heart out in fifteen minutes. Just for the record,
(09:17):
don't worry. You'll be lucky if you'll make it that long.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Okay exactly.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Yeah. By the way, where do you have to go?
Where you go? We're gonna go watch Colin Coward's car.
Is that where you're going?
Speaker 6 (09:26):
I got to take his luggage to the airport. Actually,
so yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Exactly, you see, we called it called it anyway, we're
gonna break down what happened here between you and Katie,
and what we're gonna do is we're gonna try and
end this beef you got going on, because we do
you know, people ask us what side are we taking
in all this?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
We think you both look like fools.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Here it for the record, but as we say on
the show, instead of embracing debate, we want.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
To a range debate.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
So let's just freakat for the audience who isn't following.
This whole thing started when you saw KD went into
a Twitter spaces chat called KD is not a top
five player and started beefing with people there. Then you
went on your podcast and you said that Kevin Durant
quote needs to get a life. So that begs the question,
how the hell did KD here you take because no offense.
(10:16):
There's no way in hell he listens to your podcast.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
No shot.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Well, let's back up a little bit. First of all,
I'm just asking you straight up question.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
If someone came out and said your podcast was not
top five and they did a Twitter spaces, would you
jump in and debate those numb nuts?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Well, that's what we thinking of all hypothetical. There is
no way in any reality that would never happen.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
So I don't even know how to respond to such
a terrible idea.
Speaker 7 (10:41):
Wait, Kevin Durant saw it, How the hell are these idiots.
Who is your bronis saying I'm not a top five
player in the league. So he goes in and yells
at them for like I don't know, forty five seconds,
ninety seconds, goes in there, squabbles with them, says this
piece and then Pizza down doesn't even say by this
click you know, like your girl did when you would
call her and you would grow.
Speaker 6 (11:01):
You're trying to make it.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Happen, all right, we don't need the analogy. Look, but
you know, look in the mirror. Turn the mirror on yourself.
You're the one saying Katie needs to get a life
and he should shouldn't be attacking people online.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
But hold on, aren't you doing doing the same thing.
Aren't you're the guy who need.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
How does this get a life? How was that attacking you?
You tell that to people all the time on this
on this podcast.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
No, we never told anyone get a life.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
But actually said that, because that takes a much more
nuanced than that.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
You know, you tell me you don't get a life,
was like a put down in an attack.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
No, it's a great show with Chris Elliot, but that's
beside the point. No, we would never know.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
A lot of great people spend their time tweeting. I mean,
look at Elon Musk, one of the top five rich
guys in the world. He's cleaning all the time. Do
you tell him to get a life?
Speaker 6 (11:49):
I would, I would. I should tell Elon mus to
get it. By the way, you know.
Speaker 7 (11:52):
I could understand if Kevin Durank got up said if
I said some stuff like what Jordan Poole said about
Draymond Green, I'm sure you heard right.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah, so Jordan?
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Two NBA players, Yeah, talking about one NBA player and
a guy who plays in the rec league at the
y mc A on the weekend.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
And I might as well be an NBA player. Hey
we go, we won the title two years ago. We
love This guy is beefing with Katie. You think you're
playing in the NBA. Jim Jackson on the podcast, right,
he knows I'm close to getting.
Speaker 6 (12:22):
A ten day in the league.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
This guy factory, the factory.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Yeah, you need ten days in a mental wood. Yeah?
Give me christ How did he hear the podcast?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
You never why you why are you deflecting? How did
he hear the podcast? Did you send him a link?
Speaker 7 (12:39):
I mean he heard the podcast because you know, straight
fire is kind of blowing up.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
My guy straight fire has been around for three years.
Speaker 7 (12:44):
The numbers are crypt up, the money's creeping up, the
downloads are creeping up.
Speaker 6 (12:48):
People like the fire. I know some people can't handle
the fire.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Saw.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
Philadelphia Eagles fans maybe can't handle it.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Just sounds like your p person sent him a link.
But okay, we're reading between the line.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Let's get to the more interesting point of the story
that you're not letting us get to. All Right, So
you go and you say that Kevin Durant, he goes
and writes you back. He sends you what they call
a DM right, and he writes, You're such a clown.
You don't even like sports. You look like a drama major.
What were you What were your thoughts when you read
that mostly accurate message.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
Well, that cut that cut deep.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
A drama major, You got a drama I have to
taking zero acting classes.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
In my life.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
Maybe I need one, but that that hurt. You know,
I felt like I look like an athlete.
Speaker 7 (13:33):
You know, I work out, I got showing, I got
the gun show on my Instagram.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Thank god, I almost got He plays in the NBA
and he's a bodybuilder.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I'm dying here please.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
But the bottom line is, Katie, you know, slow play it.
And then when I respond, I hit him deep. I said, bro, well,
Michael Jordan, jump in the comment section. My guy, you
think you're a top fifteen player all time.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
See this is where I think you do realize that
Michael Jordan played in the nineteen nineth when there was
no such thing, that there was no twin a section.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
You understand how time works.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
When people say Lebron is the goat, Michael Jordan doesn't
jump in and say I want defensive player of the
year blah blah.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
But he doesn't do that.
Speaker 7 (14:14):
Michael Jordan, his resume speaks for itself, just like Kevin
durant Aby is so insecure.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
So I wrote it back and.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
I said, Jordan doesn't do that. And that's when he called.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Me You're the one calling him insecure.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I Meanwhile, you've been talking about your biceps every two
minutes on this podcast. But okay, you brought up the
most interesting point of the story. He called you the
P word. You know, you said it just to be clear.
It rhymes with woosey, which you know would have been
applicable as well. Yeah, when he called you that what
was your what was your feeling? Then when he said
something so hurtful and also kind of accurate too.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
I just went and coward in the corner. I just
was like, I had to call family members.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
I'm like, what do I do? Kevin Durant's making fun
of me? You know, I got a little joked up.
It was a tough moment for me.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
All right, hold on. He also called you a broke boy? Broke?
What do you What do you think he means by that?
Speaker 7 (15:04):
I thought he was trying to type blog boy, because
I used to have a blog, but blogs are.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
Like last decade or something.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
And I guess he means I'm broke that I have
I'm on podcast of on our TV show, I'm getting
on podcasts like this.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Then I guess I'm broke.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
How much money are you making?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
How much money do you have?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Us?
Speaker 6 (15:22):
I'm doing I'm doing all right financially.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
This has probably been the one of the most successful
year of my life.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
So what is that fifty k?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yeah, fifty fifty k.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Higher, But it's it's been a great year.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
And okay, so he was so Kevin Durant was right.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Okay, Yeah, I think Kevin was right, I'm broke as
a joke. That is it. There you go, now, hold on.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
So all right, so he comes out, he calls you
the P word, he calls you all these names. Now,
how are you planning to respond to KD? You know,
because all that before we get car. We don't want
you to come back, you know, and say things like,
you know, eat my ring chasing back.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
That would be wrong. Yeah, that would be wrong to
do that. Don't do that, Okay, you.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Don't say something like, you know, bite my ring, chase
tending to do it.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Yeah, this is worse than eat.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
I took a screen grab of the New York Times
article that said Jason McIntyre sold the website for seven figures,
and I sent it to him.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
You don't do it?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
You think you hed and is impressed with seven figures.
He sneezes and makes seven figures.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
I mean, just to let him know him not broke.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
So I said that to him, and I think Kd's
reply was, who is this loser?
Speaker 6 (16:34):
I am wasting my time? And he didn't respond to me.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I finally had some seven figures, but there was a
decimal point or after.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
The fifth one.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, yeah, look, you know, look you know, we get
you know, you kind of flummoxed. He you know, we
can tell this is hidden nerve for you. You're probably not
sleeping well at night. So what we want to do
is we want to heal the rift here.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Yeah, we gotta we gotta heal You and.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
KD can find common ground because you're you're a troll.
You attack other people and that's what Katie is good at.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Tool.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
So don't you think you can maybe find common ground
in the fact that you're both annoying trolls who spend
way too much time online.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Yeah, you know what, I'm gonna do what Kyrie Irvic did.
Speaker 7 (17:13):
Did you see he invited that guy who rates pizzas
to play him one on one, some JABRONI from some website.
I'm gonna tell Kevin Durant, I will play you in
horse and you got to shoot left handed, and I
will play you in horses and I will take back
everything I said and I will never criticize you again.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
If you beat me.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
How's that?
Speaker 3 (17:31):
That's a terrible idea.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Look at the ego on this guy. Thought unbelievable. Beat
Kevin Durant in a game of basketball. You couldn't beat
an actual horse in a game of horse exactly. You
know what you can do is you can jump on
a horse right off into the sunset.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Show yet done show right off this show. You got
a hard out, hard out off this show? You the show?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Is he off the line?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Jay, hang up the phone, you know. Apologies to Kevin Durant.
I'm starting to take aside here. He was right about
everything there.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Yeah, yeah, I'm on k d side here. He was right,
especially about the P word part two totally anyway.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah, let's not let that ruin what was otherwise just
a terrific show of we want to bank up sponsors
Bank of America.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Yeah, whoa, oh you kidding me.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
It's someone who truly encapsulates with the P word is
all about.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Yeah, what do you want corrections? What?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Why go first? You said?
Speaker 5 (18:44):
Damian Lillard has been with the Blazers for nineteen seasons.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Yeah around there, Yeah totally.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
He was drafted in twenty twelve. He's been there for
eleven seasons. So it's not even close.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Oh yeah, well you know what is close, your imminent death.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Yeah, you're going to be a Blazer after I light
you on fire.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Yeah, you're done.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Thank you. That's it. We're done. No more.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
No what what.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
You called the NBA insider Shams Sharania.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Yeah that's his name.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Yeah, bro, it's not Shams, it's Champs. If you're covering sports,
you should probably know how to say his name correctly.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Oh yeah, well I'm going to get chum bullets and
shoot you.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
And if there's one thing we're going to be covering,
it's your dead body with cement. Yay, you have done.
Let's get out of here.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
No more.
Speaker 5 (19:49):
What last one? Go for the record, you said the
Braves beat the Rockies fourteen to six on June seventeenth. Yeah, bro, what,
Well the game was actually on June eighteenth. But we
all know accuracy isn't your thing.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
