Speaker 1 (00:04):
All right, all right, come and to your life from Philly.
It's the number one right in. Paully and Tony four
sto show yo. As always, Polly fools go here with
Tony fools, go with Tony. Huge shout Today, let's go.
The Denver Nuggets firing their head coach Mike Malone a shocking,

(00:25):
unexpected move. No totally saw it coming. In fact, every
team should be doing this, should there Sanders the draft pick,
he's under fire. We're gonna come to his defense. He's
gonna thank us. And we do have a brilliant idea
Tony to help baseball teams, which well we'll stay don't
for that. What a tease right there, that's what we
call it. Ta see now you're not going anywhere and

(00:48):
talk about someone who did go somewhere. Luckily our producer.
You might notice the show is going to be better
today because our producer is not here, that idiot, and
and we all know why. It's easy to see. You know,
the Sports Emmy nominations came out and uh, we didn't
get a single nomination, belie, which meant that idiot over there,
well he forgot to submit us or he did such

(01:09):
a poor job submitting the work that he's just too
scared to show his face.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
You know, I'd say this is the biggest embarrassment in
his life. But then again, he is a virgin with
no penis, so you know, it's.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
A close a close second. But I got good news Tony,
for you and and everybody out there. I was playing
around the buttons before the show. We don't need him anymore. Yeah,
we don't. I don't even know why we had him.
This stuff is easy, we do it, I say. Anyway, yeah,
all right, so here we go. We're gonna get right
into a top story. Okay, so watch this. I just go.

(01:43):
I go find the file. Okay, it just says top
story intro. Okay, I go to that folk intros. Okay, okay,
here we go. Did that do anything, Tony? No? Oh wait,
hold on, all right, wait, let me wait file clickload anything?

(02:04):
M still nothing? Oh oh wait? I had to did
the button that says play here we go? Boom? There
there you go? Easy? Are you smooth? We don't even
need we don't need a producer, and say, all right,
well here r On that note, as we've established it,
shows don't need producers, just like NBA teams don't need coaches.

(02:26):
As the Nuggets just proved that coaches are just totally useless,
don't need it. They went ahead and fired their head coach,
Mike Malone just days before the playoffs started. Now some
people are calling this h unexpected, insane. Oh please, Tony,
This was clearly the right move, wasn't it.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Of Course, as the saying goes, the best strategy is
no strategy. If you have a strategy, teams can prepare
for it. But if you have no strategy, the other
team won't know what to do at all. Exactly do
you know what the Nuggets are gonna do when the
play playoff? Nope, exactly, and neither do the opposing teams,

(03:05):
and neither do the Nuggets players themselves. To me, that's
a winning non strategy strategy.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Just terrific analysis that Dody. And Well, you know, you
remember two thousand and one Lakers Sixers NBA Finals. Right
after the Sixers one game one, everyone came out and said, oh,
we're gonna win, We're gonna win. Remember I went on
the air and what did I say? I said, fire
Larry Brown. I remember, you know, I said, now's the time. Well,

(03:33):
what happened. They wound up losing the next four games
of the Lakers. Why too much strategy there? Exactly, there
you go, right there. Well, let's move to NFL news.
Former Colorado QB Shadur Sanders. Well, he's continuing to fall
down people's draft boards for various reasons. For the newest
reason is that apparently he double taps the ball before

(03:56):
every throw, and a lot of NFL defenders out there
they're saying, well that it's a huge tell and a
huge problem because you could tell where he's going to throw.
The bully's exactly. You know, many quarterbacks are coming to
his defense right downy exactly.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
So many qbs are saying that there's absolutely nothing wrong
with how Shudor Sanders throws a football. In fact, I
heard that from Chris Simms, and he said that.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
You know, maybe not the best example. You're right, he
did suck.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
I did hear it also from Brady Quinn and you
know I mean that one too. He sucked to Tim
hassel Beck. No, No, he was not iron. But you know,
there were a lot of quarterbacks. We don't need to
go through the name. There's tons of quarterbacks. You know
what they say quantity over quality.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
They do say that, Dony Well said, by you to
another story, the world's greatest general manager. Of course, we're
talking about Howie Roseman. He came out and he said
the Eagles will absolutely not consider drafting any player who
has any history of violence against women and good terrific. However,
we should note that, sensing an opportunity here, the Browns

(05:08):
came out and released a list of crimes that they
are willing to tolerate if a player is elite. Let
me put this list up. Those crimes include, but are
not limited to, littering, loitering, attempted murder, actual murder, wow,
Reckless driving okay, speeding okay, speeding in a school zone,

(05:28):
killing a kid in a school zone while speeding, public urination,
public urination on a dead kid in a school zone
that you killed, speeding, and also failure to return overdue
library books. Yeah, just a very aggressive.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Just a part of example of ye inning when everyone
else is yanging.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Well said that, dony And now to Gino Smith. He
held his first press conference as a member of the Raiders,
which is a reunion with his former Seahawks coach Pete Carroll. Now,
his press conference was full of bizarre quotes. Were still
trying to wrap our heads around here. But you know,
first of all, Gino Smith said he would quote run
through a wall for Pete Carroll and Dony. We found

(06:10):
this just very concerning, didn't we.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, frankly, that's just bad coaching. Don't you want a
head coach who tells you not to run through a wall.
You know, if you tell a player to run through
a wall, he could get seriously injured and miss the
entire season, And well that's on you as a head coach, exactly.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
You know, this just shows like Pete Carroll is getting
way too old for the sport. I mean, he's coaching
like it's the nineteen seventies, when, as we all know,
a lot of coaches used to practice by having their
players actually run through walls. Yeah, I mean you remember
Chuck Knowle Steelers coach. He used to have the entire
team just bash the head into a brick wall for
hours each day, which explains Terry Bradshaw.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
You know, it just makes total sense, makes total sense, exactly.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Let's get to some baseball news. You know, there was
a lot of political tension when the world champion Los
Angeles Dodgers went to the White House to visit President Trump.
You know, many people around baseball and the world were nervous,
but in the end, the President decided to let show, hey,
old Donnie stay in the country and not get deported.
And you know, when you think about it, you know
that was the right move given as batting average. But

(07:17):
you know, deportation Dony is something Dems should consider moving forward,
shouldn't they.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
I wouldn't be surprised if more teams took advantage of
our new deportation friendly climate here. I mean, I know
this might be controversial to say, but there's some really
bad contracts out there, and if you're a GM or
a team owner and you have a player batting under
two hundred or even sub two point fifty, you gotta

(07:44):
consider calling ice.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
I mean, it's basically just like sending someone to the miners,
except you know, it's actually kind of better.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
When you get deported, you get to go to some warm,
tropical island country.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
But if you get deported to the miners, you have
to take a bus to some random place in Iowa,
which is way worse.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Sounds like just a win win for everyone, totally, just
such a terrific perspective and thank you. On the opposite
of a win win, I'll lose lose because, as you know,
I'll lose a producer. He totally botched this whole sports
semi thing, the sports semi nominations that come out. We're
nowhere to be found on it. Clearly because he botched

(08:25):
the dire process. He is why he's not here today.
You know, obviously we should have been nominated a bunch
of categories, but those specifically we would have just dominated,
hands down, of course best Studio Show Weekly and Outstanding d's.
You know, for you late people out there who a
boring jobs a days is the thing you see the
video montage that comes on before the games, you know, yeah,

(08:46):
before a sporting event. Well, we did an absolutely epic
ease for the super Bowl. That's what it is ourselves. Now.
Sure it didn't air before the super Bowl on Fox,
but it aired on our YouTube channel. That's just a
stupid technicality there, exactly, it ran before the game. That's
all that matters. All that matters, all right, Look for
those who missed it out there, we want to go

(09:07):
ahead and show it to you in its entirety. Here
it is display. Here we go. Hold on, hold on,
it's not playing that. It's not in the same folder, Tony,
hold on, I gotta go to saved. Why wouldn't they
get it in the same fold. Because he's unorganized, Tony,
that's why he didn't submit us. Yeah, there is. D's say, Okay,

(09:28):
here we go. Ready, super Bowl days, Get ready.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
The Super Bowl is a battle for America. History is
on the line on one side, the most American thing
ever Eagles. On the bad side, the Chiefs, Native Americans.
And what do we know about Native Americans in battles,

(09:56):
They always lose. Eagles, super Bowl History.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
No, Tony, I gotta say, I'm just covered in goosebumps
right now.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
You know, the Eagles probably saw that before the game,
and that's what drove them to victory.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Had to be you know, we deserve our sports and
the and the Lombardi from the Super Bowl trophy exactly. Well.
You know, usually at this time a producer would actually
know to hit a Buttony, he'd actually this is the
one part of the job he could do. But I'm
gonna hit it right now, Tony. Don't bet. Get your

(10:43):
app out for Toty's bet of the week Doty, what
you got the Masters here?

Speaker 2 (10:50):
And that's why I've got a great bet for you.
You want to bet on someone who knows how to win,
so that's why you should go all in on two
time Masters winner burn Hard Longer. He's proven that he
knows how to win. He's plus one hundred thousand on
other sites, but on fusco bet you can get him

(11:13):
for plus one hundred million wozy money. Sure, he hasn't
won since nineteen ninety three.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
But look at the Cubs.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
They didn't win for one hundred years and they won
a title. And also his name is burn Hard Longer,
so he's telling you he will burn Hard Longer.

Speaker 1 (11:35):

third party or third world country gambling problem called one

(11:56):
that was terrific, guys. So what we're gonna do right now?
You know a lot of these sites out there, Instagram, TikTok,
these accounts. You got these kids, they're going viral. All
they're doing is they're posting these videos where they take
a pack of old baseball cards, don'ty, and they just
open them. And people watched us, and well, you know,
we've been doing this for what twenty thirty years? Right

(12:18):
now we're not on camera. Yeah, you know, we were
the ones who came up with the idea we attacks
of baseball cards, and look at it exactly we started it.
So we're gonna take back what was rightfully ours. Yeah,
let these you know, copy cats steal our stuff, all right,
So that's what we're gonna do. Right now. It's a
segment called sports Card Opening.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Sports Card Opening.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
You see that I pressed it right on guilt, don'ty? Perfect, Okay, donty.
Let's take a look show the audience what we got
this week. This week we're going with nineteen ninety flear
baseball cards. Now you may be wondering why nineteen ninety,
Well you see nineteen eighty nine, as we all know,
that set was just full of eerrors, mistatement, eras it

(13:02):
worthless value wor Yeah, we got it right in nineteen
ninety that came back fixed all the eras. So we're
gonna say, open up, now what valuables we haven't already Tony. Yeah,
I'm so excited for this.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
All right.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
Well, first up, we have the Flea of Baseball quiz. Okay, cool,
So you know that's fun trivia. Yeah, that's a lot
of fun, toy. We got a big one. What we
got a big one. One of the great superstars of
nineteen ninety Jerome Walton. You know, sure, sure he didn't
do anything after that year, but that doesn't matter, Tony.

(13:36):
I mean, you know, we had a terrific year. Yeah,
a terrific one year.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
You know.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Then all right, the guy did disappear, but that was
the year, Dony, that was the I gotta be worth
what five six thousand? Easy? Easy? Yeah? All right, Tony.
You remember Robin you MVP. We got his teammate BJ,
Sirhoff there he is BJ, BJ legend, yep, you are

(14:00):
one of the greats all time, all the grind bjs.
You know when he thought, you know, and his name
is BJ, which is fun, you know, yeah, like saying, hey,
what a great BJ. Another teammate of Robin Yount, the
pitcher Jeff better Rek. Admittedly, I have never heard of
Jeff Betterick, but that yeah, oh yeah, they wouldn't have

(14:24):
made a card about him, but it wasn't good. And well, look,
I mean, this guy's a well traveled He played for
a bunch of teams, the Brewers, Alpaso, Stockton, Beloit. It's
all on that.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
You can't tell the story of the Brewers season in
nineteen ninety without him.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
Oh, Tony, you remember the actor from from Mash Jamie
Farr was someone who might be related to him, Steve
Farr and Tony. The only problem here I got to
say is you can see I don't know if you
could see this at home, but the ink on the
this is part of the s missing. So I don't

(15:03):
know about this card Downy might not be worth.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
A long probably worthless, maybe like one hundred and fifty
dollars or something.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
And also because it's Steve Fai, you know that's exactly
I mean. Now, if it was a Jamie phar Car
Jamie Fahr from Bash, yes, then then you have that's money. Oh,
Dony Big one legendary blue Jay Joe Carter World Series zero.
Now this was two years or three years before he

(15:30):
won the World Series. He's on the Indians, which makes
that very rare, you know, because people forget Joe Carter
played for the Indians. That's that's gotta be a big one.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
That card is gonna be very valuable because it's banned
now because the Cleveland Indians.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Delightly this Ye look at this logo, the smiling Indian.
You can't we can't even show this on air anymore.
They might have to blur it. We might have to
blur this. I'm gonna have to figure out after the show. Yeah,
we'll figure it out. Look at this book, at this
this is You know how they have some cards that
are kind of untraditional, right, Yeah, this is what they

(16:07):
call a Superstar special. L East rivals on the same card,
Howard Johnson and Ryan Sandberg. You know you never see
them together. They never see them together. They are on
one card and it was so great, Tony Is you
could see on the back they just have tons of writing.
I mean, I can't read all this about about what

(16:28):
goes on with them, but it's such a great story.
It would take me very long to read it. I
need a magnifying glass. Oh, Tony, we have another band, god,
another Indian. Uh, Steve Olden anything about Steve Olden. Tony, Yeah, exactly,
all right, moving on, Oh, Tony, this has to be

(16:50):
a rare occurrence. Well, we just saw Howard Johnson in
another cad. Well, now here's Howard Johnson's baseball card. Wow.
I mean if you're if you're a fan of Howardjohnsen, well,
I mean Joe Heaven, Oh, Joe Heaven.

this card the doubles, Yeah, I mean that that right
there is God, oh my god, imagine getting that the
same pack. Unbelievable. What a story that would? What are
the odds? And you know it's it's about the story too,
the value exactly. Well, you know the football player Greg Olsen. Yeah,
of course, here's the picture, greg Olsen, same name. Wow.

(17:28):
How rare is that? It's gotta be rare. I'm I'm
