Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is a podcast from War from Everywhere. USA Needs
Fox Across America with Jimmy Fayla. Bang there.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
It is final hour of the Week on Fox Across
America with Jimmy Fayla, a show that has been wall
to wall spectacular.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
He is so foolish this guy.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Ah, come on some tough love out of the control room.
But dig this Jay Feely, former NFL superstar. He is
running for congress out in the great state of Arizona.
He is going to be joining me to wrap up
the week. We'll preview his congressional week, his congressional race,
and more importantly, we will preview the NFL season because,
as you know, your uncle Jimmy has a lot riding
(00:41):
on these games.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Money money, money, money, money, money money.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I don't know that Phil is going to talk gambling,
but you and me are gonna talk about anything you
want because Fox Across America is an all skate. Doesn't
matter who you vote for, it doesn't matter what you
believe in. You are all welcome here. You just gotta
be cool.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Can you dig it? Can you dig it? You dig.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Well?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
As we get underway in our final hour of the week, boh,
it's the kind of week it's been, Ben, I'm always
in a good mood.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
I'm always happy to be on the radio.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Cause I spend so much time in my life driving
a cab and just like listening to the radio. And
when you found a show that you liked, it was
like man spiritual currency.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
It just picked up the pace of your day because
you had something to look forward to.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I can't wait to hear what he says.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
It's like you were richer for having in my taxi career,
like I'd rush Limbaugh three hours a day, and you
were richer having listened paying in cash. Now I don't
know that it was cash, but you were. You were
like emotionally richer. You had something to look forward to.
And a lot of radio shows were like that. I
had to listen to I miss in the morning. Do
you remember I miss? And then I mus got in
(01:59):
trouble for singing nappy headed hose?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
What the hell did you say?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I didn't say it, but he eventually came back. But
the point is there were shows I enjoyed that were
a part of my dad a twelve hour day behind
the wheel. So any two three hour show that made
a difference. Was a really big deal to me. So
when I get on the air, I am always always
mindful of how my vibe is going to affect yours,
(02:23):
because I'm happening in the middle of your work day
or your commute or your morning walk, or some of
you guys are out delivering mail or you're an OTR
truck or you know a you know a fair amount
of fair amount of strippers listening to their show too.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Oh yes, I've read about that in the Bible.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
That's one of my favorite things in the world, is
the kind of people who come up to you and
tell you they listened to the show. Do you know
there is a place in California called Jumbo's Clown Room.
It's a very famous strip club filled with hooties.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Hubba hubba. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
But the point is, one day I heard from the
owner of Jumbo's clown Room because I had meant on
the air as a joke, and she sent me a
hat and said like, oh, I watch the show every
Saturday night, listen you on the radio.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
I was like, Oh, get out of here. We got
the stripper vote. That's kind of a big deal. I mean,
he's a lousy dead but he's right.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
So when I got out of here, Okay, regause, were
you listening. We really are just trying to be something
that picks up the vibe, and sometimes the news does
not play ball, and you've got to figure out a
way to make that work. If ever there was a
week where the news did not play ball, it was
this one. And the only thing that truly made me
(03:34):
laugh is the kind of thing I don't even normally watch.
Did you guys see Trump sink the cartel boat this
week that was trafficking all that cocaine and fentanyl potentially
into our country or into Trinidad or wherever it was
going to go next. Okay, that was probably the funniest
thing I saw all week. They released drone footage of
us sinking that boat, which might seem a little uncouth,
(03:58):
and I don't like to watch those videos because as
a comic, there's generally nothing in it for me.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
But I actually watched this because there was.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
A message being sent, and the message really was we're
no longer as a country going to tolerate certain indignities
like people smuggling drugs into our country. You can tell
me that that's a supply and demand thing, and there's
a market there for drugs and people are going to
do them whether they're legal or they were illegal, and
that is fine. Okay, that's a fine argument to me.
(04:29):
And I've heard every side of the war on drugs argument,
but the quality of life argument is doesn't have sides.
Every one of these cities that's allowed safe injection sites
has people like dying on sidewalks, you know, or going
potty on sidewalks while kids are walking to school.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
You're yeah, totally okay. So the idea that we got
out of.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Bed and we sent a message this week that we're
cracking down on crime and inner cities, we're cracking down
on drugs being smuggling into the country was a way
of us declaring to the we have people in power
right now that are not just going to factor these
indignities into the spreadsheet like they're just a typical course
of doing you know, costs of doing business. We're not
(05:11):
being led by those people right now, and it excites me.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Ron DeSantis talked about it, and I thought this was great.
He was on Ingram before me. The other night I
was on with Laura Ingram. She gave me a hard
time about my outfit.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
She did.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
She said something about my T shirt or something. But
Ingram loves me, so don't sweat it. What a fraud, No,
she does. But here is Desanta's talking about this. I
was standing by waiting to go on TV and this
one got me going. This is clib twenty three in Florida.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
When we catch people who have dealt drugs to people
who've died, you know, we charge him for murder because
that's what they're doing. So I think the president is
absolutely within his rights to do it. I think the
fact that he's shown he's willing to do it is
going to be a really important deterrent because you know,
when they're running drugs, they know they can make a
lot of money. They know there's there's a risk they
(06:00):
could get arrested. They're on US soil, so they make
that calculation. Now they know they could be on the
working end of some heavy artillery. I think some of
them may make a different decision going forward.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Okay, And again that is DeSantis saying what.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
A lot of us is.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I'm sick and tired of all this.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Marco Rubio did the same here he is talking about
it himself. Club twenty five.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
If you're on a boat full of cocaine or fentn
or whatever headed to the United States, you're an immediate
threat to the United States. And the President, under his
authority is commander in chief, has a right, under exigence
circumstances to eliminate through imminute threats to the United States.
And that's what he did yesterday in international waters.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
And that's what he intends to do.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
We're not going to sit back anymore and watch these
people sail up and down the Caribbean like a cruise ship.
It's not going to happen. It's not going to happen anymore.
They're not going to bring drugs into the United States.
We're going to stop them. I know a lot of
presidents have talked about doing it.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
This president is not a talker. He's a doer, and
he's going to do it. Man.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
So that's Marco Rubio just the same saying I'm okay,
we're done talking.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Man.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
We don't want to be taking advantage of But of
course there is one group of people that has not
completely gotten the memo. Chris van Holland, Democrat down in
Maryland do you remember Chris van Holland went down and
had Margarita's with Abrigo Garcia, the wife Peter who was
(07:26):
a human trafficker who was designated for deportation. Chris van
Holland goes down and has Margarita's in El Salvador for
a photo op. That is so embarrassing, is it ever?
And what's he doing down there? He's saying, well, this
should be the priority right now. Forget the American citizens,
(07:47):
what about these people that are in the country illegally,
that beat their wives in trafficked a couple of people.
Where's the due process on this? Okay? Think about that
Barack Obama deported more people than any president in history.
Tell them like it was anybody demanding due process during
those deportations, this would be no. Was anyone barricading themselves
(08:07):
into ice attention facilities vance minance, It would be no.
Was anybody going down to El Salvador to draw attention
to deported criminals. Which brings me to Chris van Holland.
There is a select group of stupid people in positions
of power right now that I truly want to believe
We're sent here from above to make the rest of
(08:28):
us feel better about our own self worth. You know,
Like when I was a little kid growing up and
I heard someone was in Congress, I was like, wow,
these must be really, really intelligent people. You don't have
a clue, I know, but at the time I didn't
have a clue. I was like, oh, Congressman, these people
(08:49):
must be sharp as attack.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
No, I mean I just didn't know at the time. Okay,
as a kid, as a little, tiny kid, I was like, wow, Congressman,
these are the sharpest, most upstanding people among us.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
You must be crazy. When are you going to stop
believing in something that isn't true?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
When I started to meet them, when I started to
interview them, Okay, when I started, when I started covering politics.
I think I've told you the story before in the show.
When Fox gave me this radio show, I was like, dude,
I don't know that I'm intellectually qualified to be weighing
in on like world news and events day in and
day out. And then I met the people who were
(09:30):
making these headlines and I was like, oh, dude, I
could be like Secretary of the Interior. These people are
out of their mind, stupid. And here is Chris van Holland,
after Trump sinks a boat full of cartel drugs that
could wipe out our entire population, and after Rubio says
we're done talking, after Desanta says, this is exactly what
you should do. Now, agree or disagree, I do promise
(09:54):
you Americans are on the side of America when it
comes to drug cartels.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
They just are.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
They're just gonna be for as long as we're America.
We have to protect the homeland and our kids more
than the people trying to poison them for profit. But
here's Chris van Holland telling you no where was the
due process clip twenty seven.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
What this was was an extra judicial killing, pure and simple.
It was illegal. As you said, we only have the
Trump administrations were to take for who was on that boat.
But even if they were right, we're not in a
war with Venezuela. We're not in a conflict with Venezuela.
(10:38):
And as you also know, our own intelligence agencies earlier
concluded that there's no kind of collusion between the Venezuelan
government regime Maduro, and these drug gangs. So this was
illegal on many counts, and I think the Trump administration
(10:59):
just wanted to get a video of a boat blowing
up because they did that. At the same time they're
cutting the federal budget. When it comes to actual drug
enforcement and serious drug trafficking.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Life is hard, but it's harder when you're stoopid.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah, he just wanted to get a video. No, he
wanted to kill the bad guys. He wanted to get
the drugs out of these countries. And this is the
problem the Democrats have right now. I've said this a lot.
You got it. If you want to be an elected office,
you just got to pretend to care about Americans. You
(11:37):
don't have to care. Politicians have a storied record of
running on all these big things and doing nothing, and
they get away with it because we've gotten to this
partisan place where it's more important for most people to
beat the other political party than it is to improve
anything in their quality of life. A lot of people
(11:58):
have that luxury in this day and age. The richest
country in the world, with the fattest country in the world.
As many people as there are struggling to get by,
there are that many more people making it by. And
those are the people who can afford to vote for
petty reasons. Hey, we just got to beat the other side, okay,
and when that becomes the goal, you really will vote
for anybody who represents your side, regardless of how idiotic
(12:24):
their positions happen to be. Like Chris van Holland is
not doing the bare minimum, which is pretend to put
America first. He is flat out tilling you, Hey, I know,
America just avoided a shipment of drugs that could have
killed hundreds of thousands of people. But more importantly, how
did we avoid it? We sank a boat full of
(12:44):
drug dealers. Where's the justice for the drug dealers? When
someone please think of the poor drug dealers.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I mean that's what this guy is saying. You're an idiot.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I mean, he really is an idiot. But that's where
this conversation has gone. There's a lot of people now
who aren't even doing the bare minimum, which is run
on one thing and then break all your promises. They're
not even making the good promises. And I say, this
man a lot is someone who cares. The reason this show,
the reason the show is like beer Republican beer Democrats.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Don't be a jerk.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
The reason I say that every day as I'm trying
to get people to understand that we have to break
away from the standard operating procedure in this country of.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
We just got to beat the other side, because.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
If you look at it that way, if you look
at it like we should ostracize people who disagree with us,
then we ultimately just end up voting to beat the
disagreement and nothing in the country ever gets fixed. So
as stupid as the show is, as silly as it sounds,
most days, it's actually out there trying to help.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Okay, are we helping? Not even close, But you can't
say we didn't try. They're a box across America with
Jimmy Fayla. We've got Jay Feeley coming up in the.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Next segment, former NFL kicker running for Congress in the
great state of Arizona. Of course, the NFL season getting
underway this weekend. A lot of action, a lot of action.
This coming Sunday, The failis gonna go see the Pittsburgh
Steelers take on the New York Jets. That's a thing.
One o'clock game. Guy can't go to night games because
(14:23):
I have America's newsroom. On Monday, I cannot be anywhere
near a football game twelve hours before going on a
TV set with Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino. They're like
eight hundred IQ points higher than I am. So you
can't chase, you can't chance a residual hangover. You just
I mean, that is just the reality of who I am.
That being said, I'm fired up for the start of
(14:43):
the NFL season. It's the best time of year for
me because you got baseball during the week, you got
football on the weekend. I mean, you got football every
damn day starting last night. You got five nights in
a row of primetime football. You're gonna watch football this
time of year. We're gonna talk football with Jay Peely
and we might even have a word for Kathy Hochel.
So if you saw the Kathy hocal tweet, Disney bought
NFL red Zone.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Okay, that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Okay, And in buying NFL red Zone, ESPN now owns
red zone. Okay, they announced that the beloved channel red zone,
which is really there for gamblers and fantasy football players,
because what red zone does, if you're not a football
player a football fan, is it just shows the teams
that are about to score they're inside the red zone,
(15:26):
meaning the twenty yard line. So it's just showing constant
scoring plays this team that team, and you go, oh,
I got them on my fantasy team, or oh, I
have their defense, they got an interception. And red Zone
is designed for maximum engagement, not bang bang bang bang
bang bang bank. You know it's crazy. You know when
you walk into a casino and you hear the slot
the quarters hitting the ground on the slot machine, and
that's supposed to like give you a little atmosphere. Red
(15:47):
Zone very much runs on that adrenaline rush of score
score score score score. Well. Anyway, this year, this season
with Disney with ESPN getting involved in NFL Red Zone, okay,
they have decided to add commercials to what was a
commercial free channel.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Oh the worst thing I ever heard.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I'm not making this up, but it gets worse, Okay
because Kathy Hokeel came out and tried to blame it
on Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Oh shut up, Kathy Hokeel.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Who's claimed to famous she was the only woman in
Albany that was too annoying to get hit on by
Hansy Andy Cuomo Andy Well. Kathy Hockel tweets after the
announcement now that NFL Red Zone will have commercials for
the first time ever in its history. Kathy Hokeel, more commercials,
less football, Trump's America, NFL and ESPN. You have time
(16:46):
to fix this, That's what she said. I mean, come on,
Kathy Hokeel.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Some of these these women so stupid.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Okay, understand that Donald Trump has no impact what's so
ever on what Disney and ESPN start to do with
their commercial breaks. But this is where the Democrats are
trying to take the conversation because they're.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Really bad at picking battles.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Because when you pick a battle like this, there are
facts that can easily shoot down your argument, but nobody
has the self awareness to know that anymore. They just go,
I've got it, I'll tweet it. Everything's gonna go fine
if I just send this tweet. And that's what they're doing.
That's who's in power now. People whose emotions.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Are their facts.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
And when you get to this place of emotion being
your facts, it denies you the self awareness that should otherwise.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Tell you.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Kathy Hogel are absolutely effin nuts.
Speaker 8 (17:45):
Get her out, Get her out of here.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
They're in this box across America with Jimmy Phallop, and
I think it's no secret if you want to succeed
in politics these days, you need a talent, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Trump can tweet. JB.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Pritzker can eat. Our next guest can kick. He is
a superstar NFL kicker running for Congress. And the great
State of Arizona. Jay Feely is on the line and
the crowd goes wild.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Hey man, Jimmy, how why are you buddy better?
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Naw?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
You be on with you?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Well, no, it matters to me too, and you need
to know this like you legally, legally are probably the
only Michigan Wolverine I can have on the show because
I married an Ohio State girl. Go blue, Yeah, I guess,
I mean, I'll play ball, I'll say, you know, we
have a job to do. Jenny Failey, you could forgive me,
but it's you know, that Ohio State thing is kind
of a cult.
Speaker 8 (18:36):
No greater rivalry in all of sports than Michigan Ohio State.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
It's the best rivalry sports.
Speaker 8 (18:41):
And it's good, like she should dislike me and I
should dislike her. Well, I always The irony is that
my first endorsement was Jim Jordan from Ohio.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
So you did right, it was and you want to leave.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
So Jim Jordan from the fourth Congressional District is my
wife's congressman technically speaking, because she lives out Wapakana in
his district. So he and I talk sports all the time,
and we were pumped up to have you on the show.
And the one advantage I'm going to give Michigan fans
in this whole debate that goes on in my family.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Okay, is you guys are behaved a little bit better.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
The Ohio State crowd is drinking so much that they
spend the whole game reminding themselves how to spell Ohio.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Like that's a bad sign. Pheely, I've been there.
Speaker 8 (19:21):
I mean I brought my son and my broadcast partner
his son. The four of us, yep, went to Ohio State,
went to the shoe from Michigan Ohio State.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
We wore all our Michigan.
Speaker 8 (19:30):
Gear, and boy, I didn't know if we're going to
make it out of there alive.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Right.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
It was walking in, of course, so that was even worse.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
They walk a shame when we were leaving. Oh come on, well, listen,
you're right in high now.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
The fighting fifth Congressional District Andy Bigsman on the show
a lot over the years, we're fired up about the
idea of your running.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
And I think something that really is.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Lacking in politics these days that Trump's doing a great
job of bringing back is the X and O element
of this the X and O element of governance. If
we're going to succeed, we need to address this problem
in the line or that problem at the border. Is
that kind of your approach to governance if you're getting.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
Into Congress, Well, I think we need people who have
been successful in their lives already before getting into Congress.
That they're not going to d C to make a career.
They don't want to make it a career. We have
too many career politicians. We need people who want to
truly be civil servants that are going there because they
want to serve. My job isn't to go to DC
to help me to be self serving. It's to go
(20:26):
to represent my constituents and to be there to create
a better future for our children and our children's children.
And so, you know, I think we need people who've
already been successful. You know, I'm a business owner. I
was in the NFL for fourteen years. I broadcast for
the last ten years for CBS Sports.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
You know, doing NFL games.
Speaker 8 (20:42):
I gave up my broadcasting job, a great job that
I truly love doing. Jimmy, you know, I only had
to work five months of the year. I got seven
months off and I got paid well to do it.
I gave up that career to run for Congress because
it means so much to me.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
You know.
Speaker 8 (20:56):
The day that President Trump got shot, that was a
big day for me. I had already thought been thinking
about running for office. I'd said no a few times.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
You know.
Speaker 8 (21:03):
Jim Jordan and President Trump and I sat down at
mar Lage a few years ago. We watched the UFC
fight together. It was one of my favorite nights ever.
So Jim grabs me after this event at marlagu and
I was just down there helping out the Republican Party
going to an event, and he grabs me and he says, hey,
do you want to watch the UFC fights with President
Trump and I Afterwards, I'm like, yeah, that sounds hating,
So I hang out.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Afterwards.
Speaker 8 (21:24):
We go in and we sit out on this couch
and it's just the three of us city on this couch.
President Trump plops down in between us and we watched
the UFC fights and talk politics for a few hours,
and they're trying to get me to run for office then,
And it wasn't the right time because I spent two
girls in high school at home. I didn't want to
think about leaving my daughters. We certainly weren'ting to move
them while they were in high school, you know. So
(21:44):
when Andy Biggs decided that he was going to run
for governor, and it was an open seat in my district,
where my wife and I have lived ever since we
came here to play for the Cardinals, where we've done
all of our work. You know, she was a teacher,
I was on the school board. All of our foundation
work has been in the district. That just made sense
that this was the right time. But I was willing
to step away from my broadcasting job to run for
(22:04):
the seat because I care about Arizona.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
I care about our country so much that is badass.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
We're talking to Jay Pheey, NFL legend, CBS football commentator
and congressional candidate out in the great state of Arizona.
I think there's a commonality to people who are successful
in this country that get to a place like the
one you're describing, where you realize all of these successes
are only possible because of the system that was put
into place in this country, and we do all kind
(22:30):
of have an obligation to kind of protect the program.
I mean, that really is what's happening. And so much
of the culture feels like it's under attack. So people
who are willing to put their self interest aside and
do stuff like this, you know, like you're doing right here, commendable.
Let me ask you this, though, knowing what we now
know about this campaign, will there be a talent portion
(22:50):
in the race? Do you set up an upright and
try to bang down a sixty one yarder like you
did for the Cardinals?
Speaker 7 (22:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (22:55):
I think we need to have a little workout contest.
We can do a little bench press.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
We can have a little.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
How is your forty time? I don't know anything about
your forty time? Can you can you still it was.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Good back in the day.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
The last time I sprinted full, I ripped my handstring.
So I don't know if it's not good, but I
still have confidence.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
You're you're on You're on one of those shows where
we consider your forty time how long it takes somebody
to chug a forty ounce beer.
Speaker 8 (23:18):
It's a different sho I'll be running, not chug it.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Yeah, fair, I'll take it.
Speaker 8 (23:23):
You're no, you are absolutely right, because your job in
Congress is to create those equal opportunities, those past what
pathways to success, you know, and too often now we
have people in office on both sides, both parties, doing
things for their own self and just not the interest
of this country.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
You know.
Speaker 8 (23:39):
And my oldest daughter, when she was going into her
freshman year in high school, you know, she was a
soccer player. She wanted to play soccer. They didn't have
a girl soccer team. And I went in, I'm like,
that's ridiculous, and they said, well, she can play with
the guys team. I'm like, number one, it's not safe.
Number two, that's not fair. You know, we need to
have a girl soccer team. And they said, well we
need to coach. I said, all right, I'll coach the team.
And you know, for six years I co team and
(24:01):
loved doing it. Was one of the best times we've
had together. We end up winning a state championship. You know,
But see that as an issue throughout our country, all
the DEI stuff and the transgender stuff.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
We lost common sense in this country.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Yeah, I agree a million percent. We're talking to great
Jay Pheey and a lot of people. Because they created
a gap between what people believed and what they were
willing to say in public. We wound up, at least
for a short while there, with a society that had
tolerated men competing against women. And you've done this at
the highest level of sport. I don't think of anybody
can speak to this better than you can. Men have
(24:35):
no place in a women's locker room competing on the
same playing field.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
No.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Oh, we might have lost him. We might have lost
a signal like got a got a little chunky. I
was making a big point and that one went, why right?
It hit the upright. We're talking to j Philly. We're
gonna try to get him back on the line here
in a minute. But he's making good points.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
The reality is, if you are a person who's been
successful in this country, you get to this place where
you have a little extra free time, and you think
think about how you got here and what you want
to do next. And you don't always wind up sitting
on Donald Trump's couch watching a UFC fight with Jim Jordan,
but you do have time to reflect and realize that
(25:12):
you've benefited from so many of the unique privileges you
get from being an American, and you want to further
those opportunities for other people. I think I've told you
this about getting the TV show. I wanted a TV
show since I was in fifth grade, Like legitimately fifth grade,
Missus Pascana told me to go home and watch the
Tonight show.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
She said you could probably host one of those shows someday.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
And it was crazy, and she might have just felt
bad for me because she saw my report card and
realized I had no other options. But the point is,
from fifth grade forward, every day in my life I
wanted the TV show. On the day they finally told
me I was getting my own TV show, like I promised,
the first thing I did, it was so sick as
I started making a list in my phone of comics
and people I could put on TV and help out.
The minute you get that thing you've wanted your whole life,
(25:52):
all you try to figure out is how to give
it to everybody else if you're a halfway decent person.
And I think that's so much of what Jay Feeley
was just talking about. Got kicked in the NFL. I
kicked for professional teams. I mean you also kick for
the New York Cheats. But let's stay focused here. Okay,
you get to this place of self reflection where you
realize you've only recognized all of these dreams and prosperities
because you happen to live in a place that gives
(26:14):
you something called and so many of those freedoms were
under attack for so long. Okay, that the good people
that are finally pushing back, that aren't afraid to speak
of for what they know is right, that aren't afraid
to put aside professional broadcasting careers and get into Congress,
those are the people that will lead the next generation
(26:34):
of American prosperity. So to Jay Feeling, we may have
lost the phone signal, but you still get one of
these as we head to break. Oh damn, it's Fox
Across America with Jimmy Fallon now. Traditionally, if you listen
to the show over the years, you normally hear that
song to signify Lincoln fail A's return to the show
(26:56):
to give us a preview of his high school football
game that weekend. However, the Clark Rams do not start
their season officially until next weekend. So what we're gonna
do it being a football Friday, is We're gonna preview
the opening weekend in the NFL, myself, Josh and Mikey. Why,
because we've got some bets to place. I'm going to
knockoff pool with Frank Caseum up the Hall, who is
(27:17):
a guest producer of this show from time to time
and an all around shady guy from Staten Island. A
lot of guys named Tony and stuff like that betting
money on the games this weekend. Did you guys figure out, Josh,
who I should be taking in my knockoff pool? Because
I'm kind of leaning towards the Jaguars at home against
the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
I mean, this is such a tough schedule that you're
gonna go with a rookie coach out of the gate
thinking that's the good move.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
That's how scary this sleet is. It is banned, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
So I have a loyalty thing because I do this
weekly hit on WOKV with Rich and Christine. So I
always like, I think I'm too emotionally invested in this
city right now because I call in every week. I
think if I had skipped to this week's call. I
might not want to bet Jacksonville, So maybe you're right,
maybe I should be Maybe I should pretend I skipped
it and go somewhere else.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Mikey, who do you think I should bet?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
I would just tell you to pick who I picked.
But I don't know. Denver. I feel like Denver's the safest.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
You're going all in on bon Nicks and the Broncos.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Yeah, they're gonna have a big year, and you know
what I mean, they're facing a rookie quarterback, right they're home.
Denver's tough place to play.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
I don't know. I just feel like that's the way
if you want to get to the next week, that's
what you gotta do.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah, it's called the survivor pool for a reason, Folks.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
You're trying to be You're just trying to You just
try to live long enough to lose a week later.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
So the pool has shrunk down a little bit. I
like them.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
You know the fact that the Steelers are playing the
Jets and I'm going to the game with Lincoln. It's
kind of cool to have an investment in that game.
But Josh, doesn't it read like a toss up. I
mean Aaron, Aaron Rodgers is eighty two and he might
be on Ayahuasca.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
I mean Aaron Rodgers in week one.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Sometimes he doesn't make it out of week one, but
his team does win.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
So it's very, very tricky. It's a good point if
Jets did win that game.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
True, true that And the last time, you're right, we
saw Aaron Rodgers make his debut with the team in
MetLife Stadium.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
It was the Jets and he lasted three plays. So
I don't know. Give me this about Lincoln and Jenny.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
If they're going to the football game this Sunday, Ken
Lincoln show up to Metalfe Stadium in a Steelers jersey
without getting punched in the head or is it Rowby? Yes,
But keep your head on the swivel, right, you know,
you don't know who's gonna come at you. And it
also depends on how hard you celebrate the touchdowns. If
you just jump up and down, you're fine. But I'm
(29:23):
sure if there's a little extra emotion in there, Okay,
he's got to keep that head in the swivel.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
All right.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Well, the nice thing about the Steelers offense the last
few years is there aren't a lot of touchdowns, so
we should be okay. We're previewing with NFL football this
coming Sunday. It is the opening weekend of the season.
That's obviously a big deal in the Failoff house because
I have paid and not paid my rent for about
thirty years from betting on football. It's calmed down a
little bit now that I have a mortgage and a
family and all that. But I would tell you the
(29:48):
games that I like the most. I liked Jacksonville because
in these knockoff pools, I like to pick teams that
no one else is on. If for no other reason
then because if everybody loses, Mikey's bet on the Bronx goes,
you know, it knocks a lot of people out of.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
The pool, brings you a little bit closer to the
front of the pack.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
The other game I like is Cincinnati going against Cleveland.
I mean, Josh Joe Flacco is ninety four years old.
It is Cincinnati gonna lose the opener like they did
last year, two years in a row and ruin everybody's pool.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
I mean, they found miraculous ways to lose last year.
It is insane how much they lost. I forgot until
I watched Quarterback on Netflix. I was like, oh yeah,
and then they dropped this game. Oh borrow five hundred yards.
Clearly they won that game.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Nope, nope, you put that one.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Did you know Bill Hemmer's in that Quarterback series on Netflix?
Speaker 3 (30:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Yeah, guys, Bill Hammer from America's newsroom. If you're watching
the Quarterback on Netflix, you'll see Hammer in the Borough
family box. Do you know who's in the Jesse Smalllett documentary?
When did you discuss this?
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Oh yeah, I am nine ten minutes left to go there,
he is.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Oh yeah, I'm in the Jesse Smalllett documentary because I
was interviewing the Nigerian brothers who he paid to beat
them up, who've been on the show. But I was
interviewing them on Fox New Saturday night at the White
House Correspondence dinner and they were there.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
I made a cameo. Do you think I got any
Netflix money out of that?
Speaker 2 (31:03):
And check still not in the man hence the I
got no flicks, hence the NFL gambling segment. We're doing
now to wrap up the week, because folks, what did
we talk about all week? Violent crime? That's no fun.
So we switched to football to lighting up the mood.
Although sadly, if this doesn't go well, it could end
in violent crime. I get up a booky money and
be in big trouble. Mikey, let me run a few
(31:25):
more games by really quick, and we'll just do We'll
just do this as a team, real quick. Atlanta over
Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay's landing one and a half in Atlanta.
Who do you like, Mikey?
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Oh Tampa?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Do you think Tampa on the road you go Baker Mayfield? Josh,
you're riding with Mikey.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
I know, yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Mean I know Atlanta they got Bijon Robinson. I know
he was the Fantasy football number one player going for
some reason. But I gotta go Tampa, all right, fair
the big believers in Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
The other game I like is I like New England
at home to beat the Raiders. I'm not a big
believer in Gino Smith or p Carroll at this point
in his career.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Do you think that?
Speaker 2 (31:58):
Do you think Mike Vrabel can start his era in
New England with a win?
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Josh? Yes?
Speaker 4 (32:03):
And I mean you know things are going so well
with Vegas that Amari Cooper rolled into town. Took one
pass from Gino Smith and said, I'm good at the door.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
That's how good Gina practice. It's like that's gonna go.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Be a bouncer at the Bunny Ranch up the road.
All right, I'll give you one more that I like, Mikey,
and you could talk me and are out of this pick.
I like green Bay. I don't know that Micah Parson's
gonna play, but the Lions were favored. Okay, the Lion
has moved in green Bay's direction, but it appears most
of the money he's still on the Lions. So I
don't know what to make of that other than Vegas
probably needs the Packers.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
What do you do there, Mikey, I agree with you.
I like green Bay. I also like green Bay to
get out of the NFC this year.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Really, yeah, you think this is the year Jordan Love
gets him into the next level.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Bills over the Packers.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
That's your super Bowl?
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Pretty sure?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
There's if ever there was a year where the teams
that haven't won it could I mean it's now and
never for the Bills.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Oh that is a now? You know? That is it?
Speaker 2 (32:56):
You know last year was supposed to be the Lions
year with that Big fourteen and two things and then
they just lions out like they always do. But if
ever there was a year Bill's Mafia, if you're listening
on WB E and up in Buffalo, if Ryan Stang
and the Bill's Mafia happened to be waiting on hold
to get through, I am a believer in the Bills.
I mean, if you had to predict right now in
the AFC NFC, Josh, who.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Would you pick?
Speaker 4 (33:18):
I mean that AFC Championship is what this week one
matchup is, It's gonna be Bills, Ravens. Yeah, yeah, No,
Kansas City. I think they've they've had their run, step
back and at this point Homes will do absolutely fine.
But yeah, I just maybe Travels will prove me wrong.
But I feel like Travis's you know, he went ring shopping.
(33:39):
He didn't really look at the place too much.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah, he went to Jared. He didn't go to the gym.
He went to Jared.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
Josh sees this ending band for them that that would
not surprise me if I so, if I had to pick,
you said, Buffalo, Baltimore's or AFC, who do you think
comes out of the NFC?
Speaker 4 (33:56):
I mean, the commanders believe were still calling them that
they were very surprised last year Tampa Bay found their
way into the playoffs. You know, I just I guess Philly,
all right, fair, you know how much this hurts me?
How could you say how much this hurts me? But
if you're betting with your head and not your heart,
I think Philly gets back there.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Oh Josh trying to stand the good graces of the
w pH T listeners.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
That's crazy. That's crazy town.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
I mean, I'm honestly, I'm rooting for the Steelers for
Lincoln's sake, but I don't even know if Aaron Rodgers
is going to last. But they're so loaded up defensively.
I mean, nobody in their right mind is picking the Steelers.
I think they're over under for the year is like
eight and a half. I don't even think they project
to win nine games in Vegas. But you know, it'd
be a nice story for him. But if ever there
was a year for the Bills mafia to wind up
(34:43):
doing it, I'm going to root. I'm going to root
for the Steelers. But if I had to make if
I had to make a prediction, this is the It's
been such an unprecedented year in American politics that I
put the Bills versus the Lions in the Super Bowl.
You know, the Lions were supposed to win last year.
They let everybody down. Maybe now that pressure is sort
of off in a weird way, maybe one of them
gets in and wins it. It's just my optimistic note
(35:05):
heading into a TV show that I haven't written yet.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
I still don't even know who's going to be on.
I'm just trying to put some good wid into the universe. Folks.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
You'll find out whether or not I pulled it off
tomorrow night at ten pm on the Fox News channel.
It is Fox New Saturday Night with Jimmy Paila. If
you can't wait that long, you'll see me on the
Sean Hatiday Show tonight. But either way, the radio week
is over. We survived. Don't ask me how. But Happy
Friday to.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
All of you.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Go out and enjoy your unique American privilege. We'll see
you back here on Monday. Until then, be a Republican,
be a Democrat, just don't.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Be a This has been a podcast from wor
