Speaker 1 (00:04):
All right, all right, and to your life from Philly.
It's the number one Raven Paulin and Tony Fosco show.
As always, Polly Fools go here with Tony Fools Go
with Tony. Huge show today. As you know, everyone comes
to us for elite boxing analysis, which we do once

(00:25):
every two to three years. A lot of drama surrounding
Jake Ball in this fight, the government stepping in.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
You know.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
We'll tell you why this is so great, just just
for all sports. Dody and oh a development involving a
Dallas cowboy being arrested. We'll tell you why the media
has a story all wrong. And talking about media people
who are all wrong. Our producer back there, as you know,
last week he lost the footage in Barrasni at Fanatics Fest.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Yeah, embarrassing. It turns out he finally found it, finally
didn't lose it out of his as Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
Here he is there he Honestly, I can't believe you
actually want to play it on the show. It's not
good content.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Oh well, you know it's not good content. Your face yeah, ugly,
yeah enough. You know the people have been waiting, yeah,
because you kept them waiting. But we're going to show
it later in the show, including in it Tony's heated
confrontation with Darren Ravel. You know, when you put it together, Tony,
he probably paid off our producer not to show the footage.

Speaker 5 (01:30):
Probably would show it exactly because it's embarrassing for him.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Embarrassing anyway, you know, it's embarrassing. It's people who don't
subscribe like rate and review on Apple podcasts. If you're
sitting there you haven't done it, will shame on you.
What do you do being a lump? Go share and
subscribe right anyway? Yeah, look, we got a lot to
get because we do the work on this show, and
we're gonna get right into it all right now with
our top story story first out the game huge story

(02:01):
the Department of Homeland Security announcing that Box of Julio
sees A Javes has been arrested by ICE for his
involvement in organized crime and trafficking explosives.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Tody, what are your thoughts here?

Speaker 5 (02:14):
You know, frankly, I hope that Julio sees his Javez
gets deported, you know, not because he possibly committed those crimes,
but because he lost to Jake Paul. You know, that's
an embarrassment to this country and his country too, you know,
I mean, frankly, that should be a rule.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
If you lose to Jake Paul, you get deported.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
You know.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
I'm sorry, Mike Tyson, but you gotta go.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
If I'm Mike Dyson, frankly, I'd self deport myself after
you lose the fight. It's straight off to Puerto Rico forever.
It's gotta makes total sense.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
Part of the United States. So you can't get deported there.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
I'm gonna deport you to the bottom of the ocean.
If you keep interrupting.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, just shut off.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Just be helping the show anyway, staying on track here
instead of going off on dangents. You know. In a
related story to this, Tony, you see this Jake Paul
suing TV host Piers Morgan for claiming that the fight
against Julio Caesar Chavez was rigged so Jake Paul would win.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
And well, Tody, you want to handle this.

Speaker 5 (03:21):
You know before I dive in, and as I'd like
to consult my lawyer first, so just give me.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
One quick second. Good idea, good idea, yo, Tony.

Speaker 5 (03:28):
Here, you know that Piers Morgan guy, the annoying British guy.
He's saying these Jake Paul fights are rigged, and now
he's getting sued, and I wanted to know if I
could comment on it without getting sued by Jake Paul.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Two.

Speaker 5 (03:42):
Yeah, I know everyone knows the fights are rigged, especially
that Mike Tyson fight, which was clearly rigged by the mafia.
But I'm wondering if I can say that on the
show right now without getting sued.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah, I'm on the air right now. Hello, Hello, Damn
a Verrizon. What do you say that, Donny? I couldn't
hear it?

Speaker 1 (04:04):
All right, Well we tried, you know what, Let's move
on the way, Let's just move on.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
Oh, Tony, you see this.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
You know, the United States lost to Mexico two one
in the Gold Cup, which is a soccer tourment which
was played down in Houston. And you know, Tony, we
don't pay attention to soccer except when it's a total
embarrassment to the United States, which it always is.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
We can't let this happen again, gain we you.

Speaker 5 (04:28):
Know, I know what I'm going to say is controversial,
but I don't understand why Team USA Soccer didn't consult
ice before the loss against Mexico. You know, we could
have had an advantage in that game if we simply
detained and deported some of their players before the match.
We just saw Ice topport a boxer, So why can't

(04:49):
they deport soccer players? Two?

Speaker 3 (04:51):
Great question, Tony.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
I mean, you know, when you think about it, if
we have green cards to let people in, well, soccer
has red cards.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Should work the opposite way, right, exactly.

Speaker 5 (05:03):
Again, very controversial, But how do you expect to beat
Messi if you don't imprison him?

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Just great soccer and also international political analysis that, Donty.
And well, now let's move to basketball and NBA Duke,
which just released its cover for this year's game. Now,
usually we don't discuss video games on the show because
that's for nerds. But the NBA and Duque they chose
to put Shay gilgeas Alexander on the cover. Now, some

(05:31):
people are saying, well, this is bad for business, But Donty,
they don't get the whole picture here, do they.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
No, not at all.

Speaker 5 (05:37):
You know, my sources tell me that users had been
complaining about NBA two K having legs and slow downs
due to too many people being on the platform at once.
So they strategically placed SGA on the cover in order
to sell fewer games and minimize internet traffic so the
game would work better. You know, we saw this with

(06:00):
Madden in two thousand and five when they put Clinton
Portis on the cover. That game was so smooth due
to only seven people buying that game that entire year.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yep, just makes perfect sense when you lay it all
out way got Tony, And well, tomorrow basketball knows the
Facers have announced that they're start Tyrese Haliburton. We'll miss
all the next year due to injuring his achilles in
Game seven of the NBA Finals, And well, the Pacers
really blew this one, didn't They don't they really did?

Speaker 2 (06:29):
You know?

Speaker 5 (06:29):
If I'm Tyrese Halliburton, I'm suing the Paces for misrepresentation.
They're supposed to be the Paces, and yet they did
a terrible job pacing. The Paces used to pace their
players workload, so they'd have to work in April, but
never in mayor June. And then the next thing you know,

(06:50):
they're forcing them to work overtime. That's not a good pace.
Now the Paces have to let Tyrese take the whole
year off.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
In order to make up that pace.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Just terrific basketball and also labor analysis that Dony Well.
Now moving to the NFL, Dallas Cowboys player Cavante Turpin
was arrested on tool misdemeanor charges, one count of possession
of an unlawful weapon and another count of possessing marijuana
less than two ounces, And Dony, if you're Jerry Jones,

(07:23):
You've just got to be disappointed here, don't you.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Oh, totally disappointed.

Speaker 5 (07:26):
You know, these charges are not what being a Dallas
cowboy is all about. Usually the charges are way bigger,
you know, like grand theft, larsony, attempted.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Murder, actual murder.

Speaker 5 (07:39):
You know, if Turpin wants to show he's got what
it takes to be a cowboy, he's gonna need to
start performing at a higher level, you know, like using
more hardcore drugs and possessing and firing higher grade weapons.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Just a terrific breakdown all around that, Dony And Oh,
but on a more positive note, we must send congratulations.
Don't wait till Brown's quarterback Deshaun Watson married his girlfriend.
And you know, Tony, this is just so great to see,
isn't it.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Absolutely?

Speaker 5 (08:11):
You know, because a lot of people have been attacking
to Sean Watson for all the massage stuff. And while
I was reading about this, and he met his wife
when he massaged her on Instagram, So you know, obviously
one woman out there didn't mind the massage stuff.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
Yeah, don't you know what you what?

Speaker 2 (08:29):
What do you?

Speaker 4 (08:32):
She didn't massage her on Instagram? He messaged her.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
Oh well you can see how that's confusing. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
Yeah, if you're illiterate.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Oh well, I'm going to uh aliter your body pods
on the highway.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
Yeah, I can't wait. Shut up, stop interrupting. Yeah, stop talking,
stop talking.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
And on the subject of people ruining sports radio, let's
get to Howard Eskin, you know, the local Philadelphia so
called sports radio legend clown. Yeah, he says sports radio
is in decline because they don't do shows with solo
hosts anymore.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
He said, this was his quote.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
He said, somebody had this grand idea of having two
hosts so they could argue with one another. It's just
good cop, bad cop. I'll take this side. You'll take
this side, whether they believe it or not. After a while,
I think people know that it's bullshit. And Tony, this
idiot Eskin doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
I mean this show.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Look at the show, twenty five years on the air
and counting. How many times have we argued over anything.
I've been on the opposite sides of anything. Zero exactly zero.

Speaker 5 (09:47):
Like if I say, name the greatest quarterback of all time?
Oh easy, that's a tie between Jalen Hurts and Nick.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
Foles, exactly, no debate.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
And if I say, you know, name the worst quarterback
of all time Dak Prescott, there you go. Yeah, he's
a no debate again, no debate. I mean, if I say,
name the most underrated performance in all the movie history
Ivan Drago Rocky four, say, there you go, no debate needed.
I don't know what this eskin's talking about.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
That as usual, his.

Speaker 5 (10:16):
Name should be Escano because his career is so cold.
Great one, Donny, there you go, thank you?

Speaker 4 (10:22):
All right?

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Anyway, all right, look, we finally got the footage that
we unearthed out of our producers, but somehow found this
fanatics footage that he's been hiding. He was trying to exactly.
We're gonna go ahead and we're going to show it
to you, and it's coming up. We're gonna take a
quick break. We'll be right back. Okay, we're back from break. Okay,

(10:43):
here we go. So let's just reset the whole table, here,
the whole picture.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
All right.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
So you know, a couple of weeks ago, Dony, you
went to New York for Fanatics Fest, right I did?

Speaker 5 (10:52):
You know?

Speaker 1 (10:52):
People wondering why I didn't go. Well again, we'll they
messed up. You know, they said it was a five
million dollar appearance. You know, they assume they assumed that
was for two people. No, that's one per each of us.
Was supposed to get five millions. So all right, we said, Tony,
you know, just at a good at a good business,
you know exactly. Now we got win that a lot

(11:12):
of these are collectors out there with the you know collections,
we're gonna show up and show out everything they have. Well, yeah,
we're not gonna let them up stage, are you Because
if anyone who.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Knows this show knows we have a better, best.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Collection exactly, then I mean, just look, I'm swimming at
it right now, Tony, I just picked this up right
up my desk. Yet, look at this, It's just it's
an unopened back of Don Russ baseball from like nineteen
eighty nine and you see on the front it says
it says featuring stan usual puzzle.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Unbelievable. You can't find those anymore.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
You can find this, and you know no way because
everyone was opening it to see if they could get
that stand usual puzzle.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
But we got we got one.

Speaker 1 (11:49):

Speaker 5 (11:53):

of these I have unopened nineteen ninety flee of football cards.

Speaker 3 (11:59):

anyway exactly.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
So we decided we'd bring this the fanatics, you know,
rub it in people's faces, just to see how they'd react.
And well, you know he ran into some problems, that Donny.
But instead of talking about it.
