High school football. That's the kind of classy show we have.

But long before we get to the high school games,
We've got a major league game going up up in
Toronto tonight and we are just going to go right
off the radio rails.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
No politics in this hour.

Chit chatting to do.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
But either way, if you're listening in, don't feel alienated
by any.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Of our opinions. You don't need to share them.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Be a Republican, be a Democrat, just don't be a
bad There it goes.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Now. The bad news, yeah, okay.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
For the Blue Jays, bad news is they are the
biggest underdogs in the World Series probably in the last
fifteen year.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yeah, they're like that Chargers.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
The good news, thank you, thank you, thank you. The
good news is we don't know who the NBA bet
on this. No, if the NBA is involved, there's a
whole new ball game. Man if Chauncey Billups has the
Blue Jays, that means the mob as the Blue Jays. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
I was literally just watching some some poker podcasts from
like years ago where people are like, Chauncey Billis runs
this rigged paper game.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
There was an old Street joke and I want to
get to that in the seconds, an old Street joke
about gambling. I'm Polish. I grew up telling Polish jokes. Okay,
there was an old Street joke. It was how do
you tell the pollock at the cock fight? Like he's
the one with a duck, Like, how do you tell
the Italian of the cockfight he's the one betting on
the duck. How do you tell the mobs at the
cock fight? The duck wins. So the duck won in

(01:58):
a lot of poker games.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
This past weekend.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Yeah, I don't know what these players are thinking, Like
Terry Rose, here is like one hundred million dollar contract.
That's how could this possibly be worth? Like this isn't
on the raptors. Actually, remember John tap Porter. You know
this guy's on like a league minimum deal. Realistically, you
play you know, sixty games in your career, Yeah, you
understand that.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Obviously.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
It's crazy when like a was it a ninety one
thousand dollars bet came in for his like prop on
the under for a single game.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
That is where all the arrests are coming balls and
strikes in major league games.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
They have to just get rid of that. Yeah, yeah,
they have to.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
I mean that's the thing is you know you obviously
were somewhat of a similar age, Like I remember when
gambling was this like vilified thing.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, every league was like, we can't have a team
in Las Vegas.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yeah, like we couldn't possibly adopt gambling into our sport.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
It would and they were right, it just they were
completely right. But the money was just too good to
pass up.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
I guess the only thing that's maybe good about this
is they can keep the gambling. And then players see
this and they go, okay, like we gotta gotta play
some defail we're doing anything like this, like they will
catch us.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
So but you know what this is, and I mean this, Yeah,
they're obviously making an example of this.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
They're probably letting a couple of them go.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
I had a buddy who was a victim of Major
League Baseball wanting to pretend they were testing for steroids
in the mid nineties. Yeah, to we're around ninety eight
when they just started banning minor leaguers for life.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Yeah. Yeah, as a way of like.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Telling the American league guy, the major league guys, you're
gonna have to be a little bit ahead of the testing.

Speaker 5 (03:25):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, yeah, we're taking this seriously.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
But that's what's going on with gambling. But we already
know this for a fact. Even class A, who pitched
for the Indians, the Guardians, Yeah, was in trouble for
what fixing balls and strikes.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Yah yeah, just like absolutely just sailing a first pitch
and when one right in the dirt.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
And understand you, guys, it's like they're gambling has enabled
them to fix They don't have to fix the game anymore.
That requires a lot more people.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
For sure.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
You can bet off one second of a game, I know,
you know, or you can gain.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Yeah, and you have all your buddies from back home,
and you're like, you know it used to be We're like, yeah,
I just have to pay for these people's lifestyle right now.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
You're just like, hey, Like, I saw.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Damon Jones, he was in this and basically he apparently
like told all of his friends when he was a
bench coach for the Lakers. He goes, Lebron's out to night,
go back on Milwaukee, like nobody knows Lebron's not playing
to night. Well, so it's like you can throw all
your friends at bone. You don't actually have to give
them any money or do anything.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
You just go hey, like, but you know what if
you're that guy, your friends still want the free stuff,
still want the free stuff, And I get it, But
you go, yo, like I get it.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Look, no, you are not wrong throwing a huge bone here.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
This is the problem with everything, literally everything. I'm sure
you saw the ESPN footage of them covering this with
the DraftKings add at the bottom.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Of course, Yeah, okay, we're removed.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
This is never Yeah, this is the problem with every
single thing being sponsored by gambling is every one of
these things creates a new cash opportunity. And that's what
happens to guys that we're talking about. Okay, like Rosier
down in Miami. Okay, yes he's one hundred million dollar contract,
but a lot of stuff like this is just big cash.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
There's probably some apparently he was getting two hundred Graham
just like dropped off of his house.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, ash to show up and play in a rigged
poker game and make cats Poker's.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Crazy because it isn't even sports related. That's just I know, crime,
that is just straight doing crime. Like you're just like
money laundering. You're like, what if Chauncey Billups has to
do with poker?

Speaker 1 (05:17):
And then you wonder and the answer is, honestly, I
don't have the answer until we hear the case. But
the answer in terms of lifestyle and human instinct is
that if you're that far in deep with the mob,
it's because they have something on you. Maybe not a
gambling debt you can't afford to pay, because odds are
these guys can, but you might have a night life,
you know.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
I mean sometimes he's you know what, sometimes these dudes
get in over their like I'm sure Chauncey Billips, like,
could you rack up a five million dollar gambling debt
where he's like not pumped about paying it?

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah, I mean that's That's what a lot of people
believed about Michael Jordan back in the day, that his
minor league baseball career was a glorified suspension.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
I mean they thought the reason he sold the Bocats
or the Bobcats or whatever was because of a gambling Yeah,
there's rumors about that.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
They've been very good about protecting, you know, him as
a face of the league. It's like Otani's interpreter took
a purple But come on, is any serious bookie in
Beijing giving an interpreter rock a three hundred million dollar
line or whatever.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
He had, Well, that was the guys who was the bookie.
I don't know if you've seen him, he's been like
making the rounds. He just got sent to jail, but
he was making the rounds. Essentially, He's like, this guy's
like making these huge bets and then he finds out
where the money is coming from and he's.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Just like, oh crap, this is so bad. I'm so
screwed right now and any good.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
So my question to you, Danny is is is there
a world where Otani has maybe bet the Blue Jays.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
So it's like the money is just too good. He's
too good.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
No, just the first pitch, and I'm so excited to
have you on today though, in your Blue Jays World
Series hat.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
It's the best feeling. And oh man, I never thought
i'd wear one of these again. It's so great.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
I've never actually in my really like, I don't think
he's existed in like the nineties.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, I think where you could get like the Blue
official hat. Just bought the hat. They didn't upt and
merch out. Yeah, it was just the hat.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Now they do it by the round. Every team gets
a build for October, and.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
I honestly was gonna get the playoff round hat, but
then I was like, you know what, a wait, I
can always buy it after the fact.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Do you know what I'm so happy for personally for
you having made the World Series and got in the
hat ahead of the series. Last year, I was so
happy for Lincoln having the Yankees in the World Series
that I wanted to get him a Judge World series
Jersey with the patch, yeah, and the greatest thing I
could buy him. And they told me it wasn't coming
for ten days, and I was like, dude, if it
ain't come for ten days, the series could be over.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
I know you will have lost. Maybe he lost, and
it's useless. This hat.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
I literally went online right after the Jay's won and
they're like, yeah, ship's in eight days. I don't want
this in eight days. So the MLB stores like they
had them quicker down the street. Yeah, they just got
them into that.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
Back in the day when we had Model's was our
sports sporting goods chain around here. Modell's was would have
this merch overnight immediately and everybody would have it, and
it made sense to buy it because you had the
optimism of the series.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Hadn't even started yet.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Sure, I mean there are so many tainted articles of
clothing in a sports fan's life when you bought it
in the series losing.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
Well, I mean there's crates of Seattle Mariner series has
been sent to Africa.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah, they're down in Caracas next to President Hillary, President Kamala.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
They're hanging out down there. Oh, we know that.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
That's a totally great Danny Pouloshock is in the studio.
But you got to be so optimistic. I mean, I
know the Dodgers are big favorites, but who cares. I mean,
you're here, and anything happens in these series.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
Hey, like my my father says, he goes the ball
is round, anything can happen.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
And I met Danny's dad.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
He was in a green room on Fox New Saturday
night with his mom, just lovely under the bar afterwards.
The one thing about that TV show, which you should
be on soon, you got to work this tech. We
have text, Rebecca, But hold on a second, is everybody's
everybody's parents wind up at the show.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
I know at some point my mom comes, My in
laws are itching. Oh is that true? Yeah, he just hasn't.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
Worked out whether here because in Tampa. Okay, but let's
get on. Oh that's too funny. They literally turned on
Fox New the first thing in the morning. It's the
last thing to go off. The funniest thing about that
Saturday that's I get. I know those people. The funniest
thing about our show.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
It's like, my kid will be on, my wife will
be on, my mom is there, Your mom is there,
And we're telling the most depraved jokes I've ever heard
of television. My TV show reminds me of like my
first Bringer show was a comment when you hadn't done
comedy yet, so all you knew was filth. And it's
your mom and your ant fran listening to you tell gratuitous.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Sex jokes, and you're just like, I wish they weren't here.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, and one in the afternoon, you're bombing with disgusting
sex jokes because it's all you know out of the
gates and that is we're doing the TV version of that.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
I love her though.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
No, we're having a good time. So we got that
going on. We got an NBA betting scandal. Uh, there's
still a government shut down. It's been such a fun
time and you cant bet it on the government shutdown.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
That's the funniest thing about what's going on right now
is you're like, you want some action on the government
shut down.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
And you're knowing how dirty the government is with trading stocks,
what do you want to bet there's somebody prolonging the shutdown.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Well, the thing is you can bet, like if you
go on like polymarket or something like, you can.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
Bet they give you like, well, the government shut down
and in the next three days, the next.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Like seven days.

Speaker 3 (10:16):
And as far as I understand, like there's no laws
against like insider betting on this stuff because this is
so new, yeah that they probably don't even have any
information on this, So you kind of can just like
you know stuff and you go, y'all throw a couple
hundred K on.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
This, like I know the outcome here, you want to die.
There's a great story. You'll appreciate this.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
So to bring this gambling discussion full circle, obviously, in
my twenties, like I was a real gamble yea like that. Yeah,
I mean even lines are credit at casino. So like
if the month ended and I owed somebody ten grand
I didn't have, I would borrow it from the other casino,
which would give me a month to win back rights.
This did ultimately end after like five years of my
life with me on a payment plan. Sure I had

(10:58):
to pay back, but it was a young, fable kid.
But I on a paper playing with a guy named Vinnie.
Do you know, honestly stop? No, a real casino pamper play.
What stopped me? They make it like an installment loan?
What stopped me from gambling? Is when Jenny moved here
and we bought a couch, I had a tangible asset
to show for my money. And the psychology of gambling
was always if you pay six hundred bucks for a couch,

(11:20):
you get a couch. But if you give it to
this blackjack dealer, it could be eighty five hundred dollars, right,
So that was my psychology. I never bought anything with money.
I worked and lost at gambling. That's all I did.
So Jenny moving here actually what got me to outgrow gambling.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
It wasn't like addiction or treatutent r know, they're like what,
they don't get it. But I can tell you this.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
In twelfth grade, during lead week, which was like our
just say no week, they'd have people lecture you about
drugs and drinking and alcohol and everything like that. The
guy in my twelfth grade classroom who was crying about
how much money he was down was down ten thousand
dollars less than I was.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Sitting in the front row of the classroom. I didn't
say that.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
I was just like this guy's such as, come on,
what he's talking about. I'm over here turning tricks behind
the bull again, Buddy, there's a way out of this.
It doesn't involve lecturing school kids for no pay. Come
on man anyway and talking about prop bets and things
that can go awry. This is one of my favorite
points of gambling, high low and everything in between. There
was an old doorman at Carolines, the now defunct Carolines

(12:17):
comedy club, Great plays. Shout out to Caroline, who's a
big Fox fan. We love passed there and my show
biz Caroline Hurst. Shout out to Carolin Hurst, big Fox fan.
By the way, she'd go down at mar Lago. She's
fantastic the woman who owned Carolines, So stick with me.
There was a doorman at Carolines who was an extra
on The Sopranos, and back then you could bet who

(12:39):
gets whacked on the Sopranos.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
And I would swear I didn't talk to him.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
I didn't know him, but I would swear he was
in an episode and I heard him talking to somebody
else that Pantaliano's character got whacked that season.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Really he didn't. I didn't know the story.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
He just said, yeah, like he's in a fight with
his agent because he gets killed off the show this year,
and then out of thing, and in the back of
my mind. It was just in the back of my mind,
so me being a problematic gambler. Like a month and
a half later, I saw an online betting ad and
one of the come ons to get the young kids
to gamble was you can bet on sports, you get
out on bet You can even bet on who gets
killed on the Sopranos.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
And I was like, you don't say so.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
It was like September of whatever that year was like
oh four oh three oh two, I don't know, yeah,
three o two. So I bet a five hundred dollars
bet that he would get whacked Ralph Cefaretto would get
whacked on the Sopranos, a five hundred dollar bet and
it paid like twelve to one, so you might win
six thousand dollars. Anyway, two months later I was down
at the taj Mahal in Atlantic City. It's girl Joanne

(13:38):
I was seeing at the Times Is before I met
my wife. I was down a lot of money, okay,
maybe close to five or six thousand dollars. I lost everything,
I lost credit, I maxed out my ATM cards. I
went upstairs and ate and my family would is known
as the five thousand dollars roast beef sandwich because your
sandwich is Yeah, they're gonna comp your sandwich. You're out
five thousand dollars. You've gone to the blood bank and

(13:59):
the sperm bank to get bus fair home.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
But the roast beef sandwich is free.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
So as I'm sitting there eating this sandwich, I get
a call from my brother, Joey goes, oh they wrap
they whacked Ralphie on the Sopranos. I'm like, no way,
and I won all my money back.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
That's oh man.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
It would be so funny if you're watching it live
with somebody and you started just like yes, It's like
why are you cheering?

Speaker 2 (14:20):
Thank you?

Speaker 1 (14:20):
But instead of watching it live or looking for a replay,
I ran down to the casino and lost all of
it again.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Damn right. That's how cab work.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
That's how So to wonder what Chauncey Billups is doing
in sag Harbor on one hundred million dollar contract folding
an inside straight, that might just be your answer. Yeah,
don't go anywhere more tales of cautionary woe from me
and Danny. After this bang, there were this box across America.
But Jimmy fail and Danny Poula shocks sticking around.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
We're gonna double. We're going at Melbourne. We're gonna go
to the airport right now. You gotta Dallas tonight? Now
is that we're heading? Yeah, I'm going to Dallas, Texas.
I got shows tonight.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Where are you playing, Hyenas Dallas?

Speaker 1 (14:59):
If you're listening to us Dallas and we know you are, yeah,
we know. Okay, Come, let's.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Me check me out Danny Comedy dot com. Still some
tickets available.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
I love that. That's tonight and tomorrow. So Danny, you
get to see Danny due my bags packed. I'm going straight.
You have to watch him do jokes and then throw
a beer bottle at the TV when the dodgersmer is that.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
I don't know what the TV situation is there, but
like literally both shows run throughout the game.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
They are for both games.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Yeah, but they're big sports fans in Dallas, Texas. Dallas,
Texas gonna have the game on for sure. You're gonna
watch a World Series of Baseball. Don't forget. We're two
years removed from the Rangers winning it out in Arlington.
That Rangers Stadium, which is probably I think the newest
dome in baseball. Uh, it's something. It's so big, it's
as big as Jerry World. It's massive, but it being

(15:43):
climate controlled in a seed and stuff I was.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
It was so foreign to me to go there. It
just you just felt like you were in a movie theater.
I haven't been there.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
Actually, I was there for the Eclipse in Dallas get
Out two years ago, which was amazing. It was like
one of the coolest things I've ever done. But they
were playing and then the wife. I was like, you
want to go to the games?

Speaker 1 (15:59):
She's like, not really, well, no, not to compete with
the Eclipse, but the Rangers, so bacon on a stick.
Twelve of those in like five venues. It was so good.
We're talking to Danny Poloschuk. Catch him in Dallas tonight
and tomorrow, Hyenas. That's where the good stuff is happening.
His Blue Jays are going to be playing ball just
the same. I love that. I love that for you. Oh,
I love it.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
Still can't believe it. I cannot believe it. I love unreal.
So I'm going to run.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
I'm gonna be previewing high school football with my son
in a little bit.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Yeah, because that's how that is how props we got.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Yeah, I know, I've tried so hard to kind of
like educate him on gambling as a young kids.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
You know.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
The trick is, I was talking about this yesterday. The
NBA created a lot of these avenues pro sports did
by creating so many ways to gamble, because it's only
a matter of time before someone sees them as a
lane to illicit means, like we were talking about with
fixed first pitches and stuff like that, but it's all
aimed at young kids. The props are aimed at young
kids because it's a way to make huge money without

(17:00):
betting any right. Get if we can get them involved
at five dollars a pop, when they get older, they'll
bet fifty. Yeah, you get them all fifty a pop
when they'll bet five.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah. I mean the way you're describing it, it doesn't
seem great.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
No, No, it is absolutely positively not good. Like this
will age out as cigarettes marketed to ten years.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
I actually agree with you on that, so this will
be in hindsight'd be like, yeah, this hole is just
like proliferation of gambling everywhere all the time.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
That's gonna be.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
It has to everything. It has to corrupt everything. So
that's where I think this is gonna That's where I
think this is gonna go. But I think the moral
of the story is bet the Blue Jays plus the
two twenty you got.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Kind of I'm honestly like, there's a part of your team.
You can't jinks them.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
I know, there's like a weird although I did actually
bet them live against Seattle when they were down one.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
Damn Wow, don't go back to the well, I know
to Dallas. You got to plane the cat happy World
series day you there.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
It is, get it here, boom there. It is Fox
across the America.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
But the may Man, Jimmy Failo. It is a Friday
going all the way off the rails. The rest of
the way. My son Lincoln fail is coming by little
playground politics, and we will look ahead to the Clark Rams.
They've got a big game tomorrow. This has been the
most exciting fall of my life. I mean, I love
my kids of you know, senior in high school. So
we're watching the link Man play the games. They're battling
for a playoff spot and I try to give you

(18:21):
guys the highest security clearance in showbiz and tell you
pretty much everything about me and my family, and it's
you know, it's a real thing. And the reason we
do it that way is because this, you know, this
show is all we have is authenticity.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
I don't know what I'm doing.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
I don't really care about politics, Like I'm so sick
of it at this point. I can give you takes,
I can tell you who's winning and who's losing, and
who's and why. But when you look at all the
disgusting things that happen this week, Here's a clip from
Tuesday that we've been meaning to play you since Tuesday
about Robert Garcia, the representative out in California, the Democrats
and their ice tracking app.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
Okay, listen to this clip, really quick, clip thirty five.
I share this with them.

Speaker 5 (19:00):
Over the course of the next couple of weeks, the
Oversight Committee will be launching on their website a master
ice tracker where we can We're going to be essentially
tracking every single instance that we can verify that the
community will send you all to send us information on.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
A man garbage like you just makes me sick.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Okay, ice tracker, so you can track ice. Why are
we mad about this? Because people are shooting at ICE agents.
Here's the Keem jeffries that low rent Halloween Masquerade version
of Obama clip thirty six.

Speaker 5 (19:34):
This morning, Congressman Robert Garcia announced the creation of the
new Master Ice Tracker, which will report Actbute constination.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
What are your thoughts on that program. I haven't had
a conversation with Robert Garcia about that yet. Yeah, Cam,
pass the buck. I'm sick and tired. Okay.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
Understand, the Democrats have made it acceptable in their party
to a tack federal agents, like that's a thing. So
when you get to that place and you're like, gee,
Jimmy Sure is talking a lot about NBA gambling this week,
a lot of dirty jokes with his son, it's because

(20:14):
politics are disgusting and we don't help the world by
furthering the divide. But I gotta be honest, you also
don't help the world by condoning this or giving them
a free pass. What they did is disgusting, and I'll
devote enough time to it to tell you that. And
it's the same thing with the reaction to the shutdown.
We played this clip yesterday when Kennedy was on the show.

(20:35):
Representative Catherine Clark, who is the minority whip and the
Democrat Party. Okay, flat out admitting that, yeah, the shutdowns bad,
people are suffering, but it's the only leverage we have politically,
so screw you.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
Listen to this clip forty.

Speaker 4 (20:47):
I mean, shutdowns are terrible, and of course there will
be you know, families that are going to suffer. We
take that responsibility very seriously, but it is one of
the few leverage times we have.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
Oh man, did you hear that? Shutdowns? They are terrible.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
We take them very seriously, except it's the only political
leverage we have. So oh well, I mean, dude, you
are so full of shit. We take it very seriously.
What does that mean? You call the fire department? You're
like the houses on fire and he goes, listen. We
take that very seriously, but uh gotta go.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
We listen. It's bad. We take it seriously. It's not good.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
But yet we're not actually gonna respond to the fire itself.
That's literally what they're saying. Okay, this shutdown is bad.
We know, families of the inner stuff for guys. Just
so we're all in the same age. Okay, as we
dismount the political landscape for the week before we bring
on my kid. Okay, the government is still shut down.
We're approaching a record long shutdown because the Democrats claim

(21:59):
the cost of healthcare is too high without the Obamacare
subsidies that expired. Okay, now that that's in your brain,
let's go back to the full scope of what that means.
The Democrats are complaining that the cost of Obamacare is
too high. Do you know who passed the Obamacare bill
without a single Republican vote?

Speaker 2 (22:20):
The Democrats.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
Do you know who passed the expiring Obamacare subsidies without
a single Republican vote? The Democrats. So you understand, they're
complaining about a mess of their own making and flat
out admitting, by the way, families are suffering. We take
that seriously. But the families are suffering because they think
this is the only way they can hold the Republicans

(22:43):
hostage enough to give them back the Obamacare subsidies. Guys,
I understand people's healthcare is going to go up if
we continue to have these subsidies, But you know what
else is going to happen. It's going to continue to
go up even if you have the subsidies because they're
not doing anything in the market to ensure competition and fairness,
which will ultimately drive down the cost because people will
want to give you a better product for less money.

(23:04):
The Democrats corrupted the free market and now they want
to give you the frickin' bill.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
Oh hot, damn it.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
There's a football Friday in the greatest country in the world,
Fox across America with Jimmy Fayala being joined now for
a big high school betting preview by none other than
number fifty eight Lincoln Fiala out of the four and
two clock Rams. Yo Yo, Yo's a big one going
down for the Rams this weekend. But long before we
get there, tonight's Game one of the World Series of
Baseball coach the Dodgers and the Toronto Blue Jays, which

(23:35):
we got to get into. But happy Friday, man, Happy Friday.
I mean, listen, just gonna come right out of the
gate with this. You got to root for America in
the World Series. Come on, what is this?

Speaker 2 (23:44):
I mean?

Speaker 1 (23:44):
You know we were saying if the Blue Jays beat the Yankees,
Trump should invade if they win the World Series. I
want a drone strike immediately for sure, like at the
ticker tape parade. And I know Pete hag Sath like
I'm gonna I'm kind of guaranteeing it's gonna happen. Actually,
if you got to make call, make calls. The time
is now, you know what I'm saying. And I think
Otani would be with us. He's Japanese. They love a

(24:06):
surprise attack. Come on, well, Pearl harbor them. I don't
know if they have one, but Lincoln pailis here. It's
a football Friday. We're keeping with the tasteless tradition of
this week in radio. Dude, this has been. It started
last Saturday with the Saturday Night Show. It's a very
low RN show. Your Mom was on, so we had to,
you know, we dumped it down. It got a little
Craig Kennedy was on telling crash jokes about mom, Donnie.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Then Sergeant Slaughter was on. Man, you know what it
felt like, man?

Speaker 1 (24:33):
You know, and toy story the toys come to life,
Like I grew up playing with Sergeant Slaughter toys. So
the idea that he was like sitting there talking and
then choking people in the green room. You know those
guys that do like a karate hold on you, but
they commit a little too hard, Like you remember when
Sean Hannity beat up William. I'm like, this may come

(24:55):
up with the Patriot Awards, guys. Tickets to the Patriot
Awards November sixth at Long Island University here on Long Island.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Hannity is the host.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
It may come up if I'm anywhere near a microphone
that Sean beat up William Rodriguez. I didn't get hashed.
And he was just doing a friendly karate demo to
be clear. It was like Napoleon Dynamite with Rex Kwondo.
Oh yeah, grab my arm, the other arm, you know
that whole thing. And he just did like a nice

(25:24):
polite demo. But I kind of feel like he beat
up William a little bit, did he not a little
bit justice for William.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
But we're sitting here on a football Friday. We got
to talk football.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
We gotta talk baseball, but really quick getting past the
superficial analysis of Dodgers versus Canada.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
I do think they're gonna win. The Dodgers. Yeah, yeah,
they're huge favorites.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
And I was at a Wednesday night dinner this week
war and I was an iHeartMedia event.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Jeff Thomas, who runs all the talk.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
Radio ads over at iHeart is a la guy lives
out in Ventura. Just an absolutely phenomenal dude. And he
told me a story I told you off the air.
Otani has a luxury box that he saves for his dog.
So like, do you remember how Soto left the Yankees
for the Mets and one of the sticking points supposedly

(26:13):
was a luxury box for his family.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Otani did that for his dog. Legendary stuff. It didn't
actually make you like the guy more. Yeah, I mean
it's fun, you know what.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
It makes me think though, if he likes the dog
that much, that means instead of baseball, he's now betting
on dog races. Oh for sure, he's dog fighting dog races.
It saves a box for the dog. And Michael Vick
is there. But it's Game one of the World Series
out there tonight in Los Angeles. That's a big one,

(26:42):
Dodgers in the Actually it's in Toronto tonight. Toronto is
home field advantage. Who would have thought? I know, and
the Scots should have been as the Yankees got beat up,
but I just didn't want to see us. They're lucky
they did not want this rematch link Van, Can we
just spare a word for how crass and dirty.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
Theankee Heckler's wea this year so crass.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
So me and Lincoln got to see the Yankees eliminated
from the playoffs in Game four. But I feel like
the Hecklers were eliminated by Game three. Yeah, because it
was just profanity. No one was creative. They were just
angry and strong. There were no jokes. It was just
like f this and Smurf goes Smurf, my Smurf and
all that jazz. It was really bad, which brings me

(27:23):
to tomorrow smack talk. So the clock Rams going head
to head with Floral Park. Do we know what Flora
Park is called. I think they're the Knights or something
like that.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Yeah, what's their record? Four and two?

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (27:35):
The Battle of Foreign two.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
This is a big one for playoff implications. What and
you guys are on the road, home field advantage on
the line. What you guys are a pretty solid road team,
But you play Floral Park two games to go in
the regular season before the playoffs kick in. We don't
want to look ahead to the series finale against my
Alma Motern Division. I know you're looking forward to that. Ah,

(27:59):
it's going to be awkward. I'll put on a Rams
jersey while I route for division. I don't want to
make it look bad in front of you, the parents
that you know, I kid, But Floral Park, what do
we know about them?

Speaker 2 (28:08):
They're fourign two. If they played anybody good.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
They've played everybody we've played. Oh okay, but we're definitely
better than that. You think you guys are favored. Yeah,
sure on the road, favored for sure. Do they have
any unique situations? Like you know, two weeks ago, Valley
Stream South had a great announcer who sounded like Squidward
from SpongeBob hand off to number twenty nine. She you
know that guy? I not that I know of yet,

(28:32):
but I'm sure there's something. You think they're working on
a secret weapon. Yeah, we're talking to my son Lincoln Fala.
Shut up, it's Friday. This is what we do. If
you're listening for the first time, you're like, where's the politics?
Why isn't it yelling about the White House renovations?

Speaker 2 (28:48):
We don't do that on this show. It's a grown
up show. We're is having a good time.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
So the Rams are on the road, they're against they're
playing the Floral Park. Whatever, we decided they were called, Yeah,
the Filipino lady boys, So give me that. I bring
them up because we're going to get to the football.
That's obviously the headliner here. Luigi Mangioni someone your mom
has written a lot.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Of letters too.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
I can't but did you see I don't know if
you saw that story this week Luigi Mangioni before he
shot the guy uh huh, was over in Bangkok and
got beat up by seven lady boys what on his vacation?
Like he got jumped like I don't know if it
was like a mugging or he was into it, like
my producer Mikey think, yeah, you think that was expensive
room service? Yeah, but you order seven of them to

(29:28):
beat you up. Some guys got their stuff. Man, Every
artist has a process. So apparently Luigi got beat up,
so you're saying he wanted that, So maybe it didn't
play a role. But is there any world where these
weirdo Filipino lady boys beat him up and sent him
over the edge. That might have been it too. Let
it hurt your pride. It's got to be demoralizing to

(29:48):
get beat up by seven seventy pound boys dressed as women.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
It's embarrassing. Hey, you know those old debates.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
It's like, would you rather fight one five hundred pound
duck or five hundred and one pound ducks?

Speaker 2 (30:01):
All the thing?

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Would you rather fight one seven foot tall Filipino lady
boy or seven one foot tall Filipino lady boys?

Speaker 2 (30:09):
How does that work? Ooh, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
I think I have I think I'd have to be
able to take on the seven lady boys. It's the
kind of hard hitting journalism we do over here. Check
me out on Hannitay tonight. Don't forget Fox News Saturday
night tomorrow night. So give me this. It's four and
two rams are on the road. How did they look
in practice this week?

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Looked great? During practice, they felt good. Nobody got in trouble.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
There was no disciplinary running not no wow, I get
a great reach out for you this week. You know
the great Jim Jordan Russell, who does have a gambling problem,
who runs Jim's communications team, used to work at the
University of Georgia and he wanted to He offered to
help get some of your game film out there to
you know, kind of ingratiate you to some bigger colleges.

(30:53):
If you want to apply. So a link Man think
he wants to play college football. Link Man's focusing on
the next two games. He's such a politician. Hey, if
you win the mayor's race, you're gonna run for president.
I'm just worried about being mayor. Man good joh wow,
what could meet? You have better media training than me?
Oh yeah, I would have been like, what do the
girls look like?

Speaker 2 (31:12):
How much money am I getting?

Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (31:13):
Is there any nil money in it?

Speaker 1 (31:15):
For me? What's happening here? Way to focus, man, You're
a lot more professional than me. I would have had questions.
I would have had questions about that. But we can
get to that later. So it's Floral Park, you're on
the road. It's an eleven am game. Wow, I might
be missing Kaylee mcanany's talk show for this damn freaking
White House Press secretary. Coolest girl I know, a fun

(31:35):
Kaye mccatty's a home run girl. The idea that I
got to turn down a TV hit? Like, do you
mention that to your team? Like my dad could have
been a national TV could have been hanging out you
know what I'm saying?

Speaker 4 (31:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (31:46):
No, in the huddle before every game, I'm kidding, but
it's an eleven o'clock game. You could have a big crowd. Okay,
you've played in front of multiple grandpas in the last
few weeks.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
You're gonna have family in town. Okay, you've got Uncle
Dan and Uncle Kim. Well and Kim, Yeah and Kim,
your cousins. There's rumors of an Uncle Jim siding. We
haven't confirmed that, but the point is they'll be in
the crowd, so you can have an electric atmosphere.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yep, you're gonna have the clock ram parents hammer.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
They tailgate on the road, Oh yeah, for sure, eleven
am game, so they'll be there. Half in the bag.
Oh you know, they started drinking at five pm. By
the way, a good night before. Do you like Buffalo
Bills fans. Yeah, they mashed tables. They tailgate week up,
not a day of week of putting cigarettes out on babies.
So with so much hat, well that's that, you know

(32:34):
some of these babies, Yeah, they deserve it.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
They've got it.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
It's not nice to say on the show this big,
but you know we've met some of these babies. It's
you know, anyway, stick with me. Talking to Lincoln Faila So,
knowing all that's at stake four and two on the road,
what is the prediction in this game? I actually, I
think our offense is going to have a bounce back week.
I give us a twenty eight to thirteen win. Whoa
you think the o gets off the off the canvas

(32:58):
after a tough Oh got shot out last week?

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Yeah? They actually let up as many points as the defense. Yep. Wow,
so they're due for a bounce back. Yeah, they are.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
And to be clear, Carry, you played Carry who kind
of dominated the line of scrimmage on the you know,
on the defensive side of the ball. But your defense
was in that game, the defense you probably had, you know,
double digit tackles, Oh for sure, you had a lot
of d What did you have more of last Saturday night?

Speaker 2 (33:19):
Tackles or beer?

Speaker 4 (33:20):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (33:20):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Both those numbers get pretty high. You lose track after
a while, you're honor. It's hard for anybody to say so,
no one, We're going into Floral Park predicting a twenty
eight to thirteen win, which, if possible, gets you to
five and two on the year.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
I would imagine it is Miller time Saturday night. Oh
for sure, they probably have a party or something. Oh,
of course alcohol free. Like you guys played beer pong
with apple juice, right, yeah, apple juice, sprite, whatever it takes.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
You know, some of that sprite. What does the sprite
cranberry you drink around the holidays? Yeah, some of that?

Speaker 1 (33:52):
All right, that makes sense. And give me one more
take before I let you go on the world of politics.
What did I follow all week? There was a lot
of dupid stuff. Did you see that they're fixing the
White House? It's a little bit of build in a ballroom.
I mean you want a president who has parties? Yeah,
because you know what part of this is based on
a lot of presidents, About six of them have renovated
the White House big time. I'm talking like, you know,

(34:14):
the West Wing, the revamp of the West Wing. Harry
Truman revamped the whole White House. JFK had a bowling alley,
Nixon put in uh oh jay, excuse me. JFK had
a swimming lane. Nixon pulled in a bowling alley. Clinton
put in a stripper. Poll at the point is stomp
it hey up there?

Speaker 2 (34:30):
It is so the point.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
But Obama, who put in a basketball hoop famously had
a massive state dinner, but because it didn't have a ballroom,
they had to rent a tent. What do you want
to live in America where the president's having parties in
a tent? No, Like, we should be fine if we
have a party in a ten or friends at a
party tip, that's fine. You're the president the president. Come on,
you have to we have to have some self respect, folks. Yeah,

(34:53):
isn't that the point? And everybody bitching about like, oh,
it's putting out a ball rop. What do you think
they're going to do if the Democrats become president again
they've used better or not. Yeah, they're gonna use the ball.
They're gonna put up a tense No, there we go.
We want to go back out thought, that's the point.
It's all performative outrage. But not tomorrow the Rams get
on the field. That's real rage. Going for five and two.

(35:14):
We're angry locking up a playoff, berth. They're not messing around.
You say, bet at all on the Rams. Bet the Ram,
all right, you bet the Rams during the day, you
watch Fox New Saturday night. During the night, you have
the best weekend allowable by law. We are out of here.
Happy Friday. Go enjoy your unique American privilege. Be a Republican,
be a Democrat. Just don't be a Jimmy Phale' screw.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
You get him out of here yet. This has been
a podcast from w o R.
