Speaker 1 (00:04):
All right, are right comment Oio Life from Philly. It's
the number one rated poly Toni foursco show. As always,
Polly Fools go here with Tony Fools go with Tony
Huge out today and let's go. We're gonna tell you
why people are unfairly blaming Daniel Jones for the fact
(00:25):
that he sucks at football, and to discuss the continued
fall of the historically crappy dog vomit New York Giants.
We're bringing on a former Giant to just see how
embarrassed he is by his terrible format. D Gerard Bunch
will be joining us. And also we're gonna do a
very touching and frankly unique tribute to two Philly legends
(00:48):
who we unfortunately lost this week, the GMBE mcdumbo and
Pete Rose.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Grab your tissues, Angel cleanexes. Yeah. But first, some show
business we must talk about, as you know with bokners
with iHeartRadio and Doyle. We just received the iHeart quarterly
financial report, which shows podcast revenue is up eight percent. Tony,
have you received the thank you? Nothing? Not even an
(01:17):
email or a fruit basket me neither. It's ridiculous, you know,
because you're looking our numbers downloads through the roof and
our socials. You know, people are Instagram, which you should
be following unless you want to be dumb and useless.
We got one clip this week had a total watch
time of get this people sixty five days, I mean, Tony,
sixty five days.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Just to put this in perspective, Gone with the Wind
was only four hours.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
That's pathetic watch time. Yep.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
These movie studios waste so much time making movies with
all these different scenes when clearly all they need to
do is to show the same twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Second clip over and over. People will sit through those
for days. We proved it. You know, we're changing the
business total exactly. Well, now it's time to get into
other business with that top story story first out Mcgate.
You know, the Giants just an absolute chaos, hitting a
new low, losing to the Cowboys, which is the ultimate low. Now,
(02:16):
you know, many people who don't know football, they're blaming
Daniel Jones because he hasn't thrown a touchdown at home
in over two years, six hundred and forty days. But
Giants fans, they're just blaming the wrong person here, Tony,
aren't they Yeah, they should be blaming themselves. Yep.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Did anyone consider that these rude giants fans are clearly
creating a hostile work environment for Daniel Jones.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Frankly, I think all fans need to be supportive of quarterbacks,
no matter how many times they throw interceptions or fumble
the ball, unless it's in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
You know, maybe Dan, you can threaten to kill them.
Words of wisdom, Tony, And you know you gotta feel
bad for Daniel Jones, don't you, Because you know many
people they're calling him, you know, the crappiest, most untalented
quarterback whoever lived. And while that is true, it doesn't
tell the whole story, does it.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
No.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
It all depends on how you look at Daniel Jones.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
If you see him as a quarterback, then yes, he's
a talentless waste of space yep. But if you view
him as a general manager, then he's a genius.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
He's making all the right moves to secure the highest
draft picks possible. When you see it that way, Daniel
Jones is one of the great football minds of our time.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Terrific analysis Tony and talked about being unfairly attacked. Let's
move to the Eagles or being criticized by idiots saying
that their two and two start shows that the team
is not a contendo. Please, but these morons, they just
don't see the whole picture, do they, Tony. Look at
the Eagles schedule so far.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
The NFL forced the team to play their first four
games against teams that have a combined ten Super Bowls.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yup, Green Bay four, Tampa's.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Won two, New Orleans has won one in Atlanta, they've
hosted three, you know. In fact, come to think of it,
New Orleans has also hosted a bunch of Super Bowls,
and so is Tampa. So really it's more like thirty
or thirty five Super Bowls. That's just a totally unfair
way to have to start the season.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Great perspective and insight that, Tony. And you know another thing,
you've seen this play on Monday Night that the Lions
ran against the Seahawks where Golf caught the touchdown looked oddly,
oddly like the Philly special that falls caught in the
Super Bowl. Well, Detroit's coming out and saying that play
is called Alcatraz and they've been practicing it for years. Tony,
(04:45):
what you think about this. What do I think one
word copyright infringement? Y'all.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Clearly they named the play Alcatraz because they knew they
should be put in prison for stealing it. My only
hope is that Dan Campbell, Jared Goff and the whole
Lions offense are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,
preferably before this year's NFC Championship game.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Terrific legal analysis that Dony and well. Now moving to
the Cowboys. You know, after beating the Giants on Thursday night,
Dak Prescott sent a very strange message to his team.
He said he doesn't want the team getting carried away
with the win and said, quote, hopefully the guys don't
listen to anything being written now, good or bad. And
(05:32):
this is just very questionable leadership, isn't it, Dony? So weird?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
What if a Cowboys player gets a letter from their
grandmother saying I'm not feeling well.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Are they not supposed to read it exactly?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
What if their wife or girlfriend sends them a text
saying I have a flat tire.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I'm on the highway, please help. Yeah, what are they
supposed to do? Not coming fine? We're talking about not
supposed to do. What do you do when talking?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
He clearly meant, don't read things about the team.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Look at that hat he's wearing, Tony, Yeah, what is this?
Explains why he's wearing a hat with.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
A D on it.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
He's a Cowboys fan.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
It doesn't stand for Dallas.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
What does his stand for domb?
Speaker 4 (06:15):
No, it's Dorchester. It's a brewery in Boston.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Oh so you're a Boston fan.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Do oh?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, that means the D stands for douchebag. Oh no,
shut and by the way, stop doing free ads for
other companies. Okay, they got to pay to be in
this show. Just go ahead and send them an invoice.
Send them an invoice for the go ahead anyway, and
just now stop talking, because we're about to do something
very important and also moving.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
First we want to tell you that on Monday, as
you know, we received the news that six is a legend,
the Kembe mcdumbo had passed away. So we began planning
a very special tribute that we were going to do
at this point in the show. But as you know,
later that day we received word that Pete Rose died
and will rudal. Unfortunately, between all our sponsor obligations. We
(07:07):
just don't have extra time in the show to memorialize
both of them. But you know that's okay, because what
we've decided to do is we're just going to simply
combine the memorials into one. Just the best thing to do,
just to touching. Go ahead, put on that yes sad
touching music and you know, Tony, I'll let you start here,
go ahead, thank you.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
You know, so much could be said about both of
them simultaneously. You're both great athletes, you know, both really
great at making contact with a ball. You know, one
used a bat and the other use the hand. And
well one was named Rose while the other rose high
(07:48):
seven feet tall, and well also Pete Rose.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Were the number fourteen. And as we all know, if
you put one plus four you get five.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
And when you put five and five together, what do
you get to Kemba Matumbo's number.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
And so there you go. That was very beautiful, but
unfortunately we're up against time and we have to get
our sponsorship obligation. We do, you know, gotta pay the
bills and do this ad from our sponsors at Lionsgate Films.
And then the movie Megalopolis now in theaters. Tony, you
were paid handsomely to give your review. Tell us what
(08:29):
your thought of the film. Oh, I loved Megalopolis.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
As many of you know, I'm a huge fan of
Superman movies, and while it was just so great to
see a movie about the city where he grew up,
I loved getting the sea Way.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
What are you doing?
Speaker 5 (08:46):
What?
Speaker 4 (08:47):
That's Metropolis? This is Megalopolis. It's a totally different movie.
Did you even bother watching the screener they sent?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I thought that was one of those AOL free trial things,
so I threw it out. Yeah. The only thing we
should be throwing out is you. Yeah, at his studio,
now shut up? Yeah five, pay attention. There's a phone
lighting up there anyway. Yeah, I see. I guess he's
coming on the line. So let's just go ahead and
bring him on the Fusco Satellite network.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Fusco Satellite The.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Work must be very tough for this man right now.
He played running back for the New York Giants in
the early nineties, you know, back when that was actually
something to be proud of. But now his former team
is an absolute pile of trash, making everyone forget that
this organization was ever even decent and we're going to
get into all that more about him. After retiring, this
(09:39):
is good. He started a successful acting and producing career
with several impressive credits, including appearing in Two for the
Money Without Pacino and Matthew mccontaey, which you know should
have won Best Picture anyway. All right, let's just bring
him in. Gerard Bunch, welcome to the show.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
All right. So first off, it's not your fault because
it's for years with that.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
But it's Jerry No, no, no, it's spelled Jared, and
you are not the first person to say that.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
And that is for R R O D okay? Was
this you change it because as a subway guy, you
just didn't want anyone thinking you were the subway guy
trying to be Hollywood. You change, you know, different spelling.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
No, I'll tell you how it happened. In college, Bo
schim Beckler never pronounced my name correctly, and starting from
there all the way going into the into the league,
he stopped correcting people.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Is that why Bo only had a two letter first
name because he just didn't pronounce names and he was
just like Bo is all like a Nintendo exactly.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
I don't know, but he had a pretty good coaching career.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Well, yeah, that actually brings us to our first question
for you. Terrific that way. Yeah, you're clearly a media person.
You know, we want to know, with the Giants being
so bad, when people ask you which team you played for,
do you actually just say University of Michigan and hope
that they don't figure out you ever played for the Giants.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
No, it's it's funny. It's funny as you say that.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
But that's the first thing that comes to my mind
is I'm from University of Michigan, but it's always University
of Michigan.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
And I was a first round draft pick.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
That's that's I don't say why just first round draft pick.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Hey, it depends on what year it is.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I mean sometimes the Giants always pop up and go
to the you know, and win a Super Bowl every
once in a while, and when it works out, I'm
a Giant, I'm a former Giant exactly.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Well it doesn't work out, I'm a Raider.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Now, you just don't even say you played in the
NFL at all.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
I guess Wolverine that was somehow that question always.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
All right, But you know, I know this is clearly
a so subject for you, But we do have to
ask about the so guy. You know, Daniel Jones hasn't
thrown a touchdown at home in six hundred and forty days.
Do you think this is because New York Giants fans
are the rudest, worst fans in all of sports and
don't know how to properly support a QB.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I would put that with the Eagles fans. Oh, what
do you say, Well, they're rough. It is a different
it's a different category. The Giants fans are very rough,
but when you're winning, they're right with you. If you're losing,
they are not the type.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
To sugar peah.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
So that's most of the time. By the way, are
you upset at Eagles fans because we all called you
girard when you came to down that Yeah?
Speaker 5 (12:44):
No, because you're the Eagle fans were not the only
ones that call me girard. Everybody called me Gerard. That's it.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
So Eagle fans, no problem except the you know when
we played, when I played, and I played in the
old stadium, it was the clearly the word field that.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
You could play on the period periods and uh put
that with the fans. The fans were the I don't
want to say the rudest.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
They were the most rugged fans that were for their teams.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Well, tell us about an interaction you had with an
Eagles fand did they try it? You know what happened?
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Imagine it? Imagine it and it happened.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I mean they threw human that happened.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
I said, imagine it was that was real?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
That what you like, I imagine like what I throw
a unicorn at you?
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Like?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
What do you mean to imagine?
Speaker 5 (13:44):
It was a problem. It was a problem if you
were not an Eagle. It was a problem.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
And to put on top of that, when I was
playing you guys had red red Reggie White.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
I'll tell you one somebody asked me, how, who was
the hardest hit I received?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Reggie White one time hit me with one hand while
being blocked by another guy, and it was like, lord, hey,
it was so hard. But the front seven was the
absolute best that I ever played against, and we just
(14:22):
every time we I don't think we ever beat them.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
In fact, do you know what your record was against
the Eagles during your career.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
I don't think that we ever ever beat them.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
You know, maybe that hit by from Reggie white, maybe
the rules. But you know, the correct answer, which we'll
be happy to tell you, is one in four. You
are one, and I don't know why you don't remember
that one win. Maybe maybe there's an error in the
stack book, because oh and five sounds more realist. That
does sound more correct. I know what?
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Tell me what game was it that we be cheated?
Speaker 1 (15:00):
We're not gonna focus I have them. Actually, we don't
have researchers on the show. We just do it all
from memory. But I'm pretty sure its advice. I did
block a pun against nobody can nobody can? We don't
remember that.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Yeah, that's a highlight for my field.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah yeah, but you're a running back, so it doesn't
go on the resume.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Sorry, But sticking with those early Giants, we do want
to ask you. You know you left the Giants in
nineteen ninety three, the same year Lawrence Taylor retired.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Did you choose to leave that year.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Because you thought, oh, with Lawrence Taylor gone, there would
be no more you know, drug fueled sex, sorgies?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Great question?
Speaker 5 (15:43):
No, no, now, listen, Okay, let's get this through right.
I played that year and the year his last year
was my last year.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Jans.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
All right, so.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
We had very nice orgize parties.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Oh, like they put the cocaine lines in order? Is
that what you're saying? Like straight lines?
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Never, I have never seen cocaine in my life in
real life.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Oh it must be. Yeah, we already know. Maybe it's
within the memory with the other wind that never happened. Yeah,
that's right. Reggie White erase that.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
Oh okay, yeah, why are you guys talking about real life?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
You're talking about any given Sunday, because I then give
me Sunday with different than No, okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
All right, what do you think is worse a P
Diddy party or a Lord's dale a party? Which one?
Speaker 5 (16:35):
I've never been to a P d party.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
No, that's smart by you. This is smart se he
knows this is all being recorded. This is basically like
an FBI in derogation. You're watching, you know, Reggie White
at me, you know what, Actually, let's let's talk about
Derek hen because you know we looked this up, right,
you and Derrick Henry had basically the same body type, right,
six to three two fifty right, But you know, don't
(17:01):
you think it's a little unfair that you both got
to play running back. Yes, I mean you look, you'll
look like an offensive lineman. So don't you think maybe
the defense was afraid to tackle. You're confused. They didn't
want to get you know, charged with holding.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Yes to all your questions. Yes, but I played full back.
He's a running back. He's a tailback.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
You know.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
He didn't line up the block. Most of the time.
He lines up to get the ball and go.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
I got the ball sometimes and did well when I
had it, but most of the time I had another
back behind me.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Yeah, So why didn't they make Rodney Hampton the full
back and you the tailback?
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Right man? I asked the same question. That's one of
the reasons why I was ready. I was ready to
get out of there.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yeah, exactly. Can I ask you a question, have you
considered this? You know, maybe your coach said Rod, go
stand back there, and they were talking to you thinking
you were Jair Rod, but they then Rodney Hampton goes back.
Great connective tissue there. That sounds more sounds. I think
if you were just gone by Girard, you would have
(18:07):
been standing back there. But you were like, no, I'm Jared,
and you ruined your career. Giants ruining football careers left
and right. Daniel Jones, you should do a class You
should do a class action lawsuit. Daniel Jones will put
it together for you. You know, you Giant Eagles, we
(18:27):
have a shared bond, don't we.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
We do.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
We both hate Washington YEP, with the fire of a
thousand sons. So you know there's a lot of hype
right now around the commanders. You know they're getting so excited,
right but you know, we know this is gonna just
go off the rails. They suck and this Jaden Daniels
is going to turn into another RG three Jason Campbell.
Yeah he sucks. Yeah. Can you look at the camera
(18:50):
and just say, take it from me, someone who's seen
a bunch of your commanders all your games, give up
hope now because this is going to end boorly, hold on,
hold on, Why won't you do that? Excuse me, we're
supposed to be brothers. Take take two, go, no, no, no,
(19:11):
I want you want to be truthful. To be truthful,
you're not a giant. Yeah, you're a giant. You're a
giant waisted tie. That's what you are. Because you're a
show show. Sounds like a commander saying maybe you should
go please for them. Bunch of wasted time. It's the
(19:32):
off the line, Jay, hang up, that's why you can't
have giants on the show. Just said, poor performance as expected. Yeah,
that was a bunch of terrible takes there you go,
don't and in a good one and let's not let
him ruin, which was a terrific show all around. Because
we want to remind you go see the new movie theater.
(19:53):
Are you kidding me? Nobody wants to see every produce
j want?
Speaker 4 (19:59):
What why you guys said Daniel Jones hasn't thrown a
touchdown pass at MetLife Stadium in over two years?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Yeah, bro, Yeah he's horrible.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Bro, it's been six hundred and forty days. Two years
is seven hundred and thirty days. That's third grade math.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Oh yeah, well you'll remind me of a third grader
from the waist down. Yeah, you have a third of
an adult penis. Oh great, one, Tony, Yeah what what go?
You said?
Speaker 4 (20:32):
People have been watching your clip on Instagram for sixty
five straight days.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah they love it, bro? Yeah hard data bro?
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Yeah, No, sixty five days is the cumulative watch time
of all the views. No one would watch one clip
for sixty five straight days.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Oh yeah, well the clip you would need to watch
is inside my machine gun.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Yeah, and you know what I've been doing for sixty
five eight days, your mom.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Oh and that's it. No moready, you we're out of time.
You had sponsorship obligations. You'll need to be quiet. Quiet.
And by the way, the one thing we do need
to mention Tony is cover to the show next week
just booked. Eagles legend future Hall of Famer Nick Foles
will be joined, so you don't forget rate and review
the show on all the podcast, by all the Merchant Tony,
(21:25):
great job as always, Same to you, Paullie. Another flowless show.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
We'll see if people Sunday night for our post game reactions. Yeah.
See your
All right, are right comment Oio Life from Philly. It's
the number one rated poly Toni foursco show. As always,
Polly Fools go here with Tony Fools go with Tony
Huge out today and let's go. We're gonna tell you
why people are unfairly blaming Daniel Jones for the fact
(00:25):
that he sucks at football, and to discuss the continued
fall of the historically crappy dog vomit New York Giants.
We're bringing on a former Giant to just see how
embarrassed he is by his terrible format. D Gerard Bunch
will be joining us. And also we're gonna do a
very touching and frankly unique tribute to two Philly legends
(00:48):
who we unfortunately lost this week, the GMBE mcdumbo and
Pete Rose.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Grab your tissues, Angel cleanexes. Yeah. But first, some show
business we must talk about, as you know with bokners
with iHeartRadio and Doyle. We just received the iHeart quarterly
financial report, which shows podcast revenue is up eight percent. Tony,
have you received the thank you? Nothing? Not even an
(01:17):
email or a fruit basket me neither. It's ridiculous, you know,
because you're looking our numbers downloads through the roof and
our socials. You know, people are Instagram, which you should
be following unless you want to be dumb and useless.
We got one clip this week had a total watch
time of get this people sixty five days, I mean, Tony,
sixty five days.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Just to put this in perspective, Gone with the Wind
was only four hours.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
That's pathetic watch time. Yep.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
These movie studios waste so much time making movies with
all these different scenes when clearly all they need to
do is to show the same twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Second clip over and over. People will sit through those
for days. We proved it. You know, we're changing the
business total exactly. Well, now it's time to get into
other business with that top story story first out Mcgate.
You know, the Giants just an absolute chaos, hitting a
new low, losing to the Cowboys, which is the ultimate low. Now,
(02:16):
you know, many people who don't know football, they're blaming
Daniel Jones because he hasn't thrown a touchdown at home
in over two years, six hundred and forty days. But
Giants fans, they're just blaming the wrong person here, Tony,
aren't they Yeah, they should be blaming themselves. Yep.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Did anyone consider that these rude giants fans are clearly
creating a hostile work environment for Daniel Jones.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Frankly, I think all fans need to be supportive of quarterbacks,
no matter how many times they throw interceptions or fumble
the ball, unless it's in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
You know, maybe Dan, you can threaten to kill them.
Words of wisdom, Tony, And you know you gotta feel
bad for Daniel Jones, don't you, Because you know many
people they're calling him, you know, the crappiest, most untalented
quarterback whoever lived. And while that is true, it doesn't
tell the whole story, does it.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
No.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
It all depends on how you look at Daniel Jones.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
If you see him as a quarterback, then yes, he's
a talentless waste of space yep. But if you view
him as a general manager, then he's a genius.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
He's making all the right moves to secure the highest
draft picks possible. When you see it that way, Daniel
Jones is one of the great football minds of our time.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Terrific analysis Tony and talked about being unfairly attacked. Let's
move to the Eagles or being criticized by idiots saying
that their two and two start shows that the team
is not a contendo. Please, but these morons, they just
don't see the whole picture, do they, Tony. Look at
the Eagles schedule so far.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
The NFL forced the team to play their first four
games against teams that have a combined ten Super Bowls.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yup, Green Bay four, Tampa's.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Won two, New Orleans has won one in Atlanta, they've
hosted three, you know. In fact, come to think of it,
New Orleans has also hosted a bunch of Super Bowls,
and so is Tampa. So really it's more like thirty
or thirty five Super Bowls. That's just a totally unfair
way to have to start the season.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Great perspective and insight that, Tony. And you know another thing,
you've seen this play on Monday Night that the Lions
ran against the Seahawks where Golf caught the touchdown looked oddly,
oddly like the Philly special that falls caught in the
Super Bowl. Well, Detroit's coming out and saying that play
is called Alcatraz and they've been practicing it for years. Tony,
(04:45):
what you think about this. What do I think one
word copyright infringement? Y'all.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Clearly they named the play Alcatraz because they knew they
should be put in prison for stealing it. My only
hope is that Dan Campbell, Jared Goff and the whole
Lions offense are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,
preferably before this year's NFC Championship game.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Terrific legal analysis that Dony and well. Now moving to
the Cowboys. You know, after beating the Giants on Thursday night,
Dak Prescott sent a very strange message to his team.
He said he doesn't want the team getting carried away
with the win and said, quote, hopefully the guys don't
listen to anything being written now, good or bad. And
(05:32):
this is just very questionable leadership, isn't it, Dony? So weird?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
What if a Cowboys player gets a letter from their
grandmother saying I'm not feeling well.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Are they not supposed to read it exactly?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
What if their wife or girlfriend sends them a text
saying I have a flat tire.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I'm on the highway, please help. Yeah, what are they
supposed to do? Not coming fine? We're talking about not
supposed to do. What do you do when talking?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
He clearly meant, don't read things about the team.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Look at that hat he's wearing, Tony, Yeah, what is this?
Explains why he's wearing a hat with.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
A D on it.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
He's a Cowboys fan.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
It doesn't stand for Dallas.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
What does his stand for domb?
Speaker 4 (06:15):
No, it's Dorchester. It's a brewery in Boston.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Oh so you're a Boston fan.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Do oh?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, that means the D stands for douchebag. Oh no,
shut and by the way, stop doing free ads for
other companies. Okay, they got to pay to be in
this show. Just go ahead and send them an invoice.
Send them an invoice for the go ahead anyway, and
just now stop talking, because we're about to do something
very important and also moving.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
First we want to tell you that on Monday, as
you know, we received the news that six is a legend,
the Kembe mcdumbo had passed away. So we began planning
a very special tribute that we were going to do
at this point in the show. But as you know,
later that day we received word that Pete Rose died
and will rudal. Unfortunately, between all our sponsor obligations. We
(07:07):
just don't have extra time in the show to memorialize
both of them. But you know that's okay, because what
we've decided to do is we're just going to simply
combine the memorials into one. Just the best thing to do,
just to touching. Go ahead, put on that yes sad
touching music and you know, Tony, I'll let you start here,
go ahead, thank you.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
You know, so much could be said about both of
them simultaneously. You're both great athletes, you know, both really
great at making contact with a ball. You know, one
used a bat and the other use the hand. And
well one was named Rose while the other rose high
(07:48):
seven feet tall, and well also Pete Rose.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Were the number fourteen. And as we all know, if
you put one plus four you get five.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
And when you put five and five together, what do
you get to Kemba Matumbo's number.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
And so there you go. That was very beautiful, but
unfortunately we're up against time and we have to get
our sponsorship obligation. We do, you know, gotta pay the
bills and do this ad from our sponsors at Lionsgate Films.
And then the movie Megalopolis now in theaters. Tony, you
were paid handsomely to give your review. Tell us what
(08:29):
your thought of the film. Oh, I loved Megalopolis.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
As many of you know, I'm a huge fan of
Superman movies, and while it was just so great to
see a movie about the city where he grew up,
I loved getting the sea Way.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
What are you doing?
Speaker 5 (08:46):
What?
Speaker 4 (08:47):
That's Metropolis? This is Megalopolis. It's a totally different movie.
Did you even bother watching the screener they sent?
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I thought that was one of those AOL free trial things,
so I threw it out. Yeah. The only thing we
should be throwing out is you. Yeah, at his studio,
now shut up? Yeah five, pay attention. There's a phone
lighting up there anyway. Yeah, I see. I guess he's
coming on the line. So let's just go ahead and
bring him on the Fusco Satellite network.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Fusco Satellite The.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Work must be very tough for this man right now.
He played running back for the New York Giants in
the early nineties, you know, back when that was actually
something to be proud of. But now his former team
is an absolute pile of trash, making everyone forget that
this organization was ever even decent and we're going to
get into all that more about him. After retiring, this
(09:39):
is good. He started a successful acting and producing career
with several impressive credits, including appearing in Two for the
Money Without Pacino and Matthew mccontaey, which you know should
have won Best Picture anyway. All right, let's just bring
him in. Gerard Bunch, welcome to the show.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
All right. So first off, it's not your fault because
it's for years with that.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
But it's Jerry No, no, no, it's spelled Jared, and
you are not the first person to say that.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
And that is for R R O D okay? Was
this you change it because as a subway guy, you
just didn't want anyone thinking you were the subway guy
trying to be Hollywood. You change, you know, different spelling.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
No, I'll tell you how it happened. In college, Bo
schim Beckler never pronounced my name correctly, and starting from
there all the way going into the into the league,
he stopped correcting people.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Is that why Bo only had a two letter first
name because he just didn't pronounce names and he was
just like Bo is all like a Nintendo exactly.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
I don't know, but he had a pretty good coaching career.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Well, yeah, that actually brings us to our first question
for you. Terrific that way. Yeah, you're clearly a media person.
You know, we want to know, with the Giants being
so bad, when people ask you which team you played for,
do you actually just say University of Michigan and hope
that they don't figure out you ever played for the Giants.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
No, it's it's funny. It's funny as you say that.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
But that's the first thing that comes to my mind
is I'm from University of Michigan, but it's always University
of Michigan.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
And I was a first round draft pick.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
That's that's I don't say why just first round draft pick.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Hey, it depends on what year it is.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I mean sometimes the Giants always pop up and go
to the you know, and win a Super Bowl every
once in a while, and when it works out, I'm
a Giant, I'm a former Giant exactly.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Well it doesn't work out, I'm a Raider.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Now, you just don't even say you played in the
NFL at all.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
I guess Wolverine that was somehow that question always.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
All right, But you know, I know this is clearly
a so subject for you, But we do have to
ask about the so guy. You know, Daniel Jones hasn't
thrown a touchdown at home in six hundred and forty days.
Do you think this is because New York Giants fans
are the rudest, worst fans in all of sports and
don't know how to properly support a QB.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I would put that with the Eagles fans. Oh, what
do you say, Well, they're rough. It is a different
it's a different category. The Giants fans are very rough,
but when you're winning, they're right with you. If you're losing,
they are not the type.
Speaker 5 (12:34):
To sugar peah.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
So that's most of the time. By the way, are
you upset at Eagles fans because we all called you
girard when you came to down that Yeah?
Speaker 5 (12:44):
No, because you're the Eagle fans were not the only
ones that call me girard. Everybody called me Gerard. That's it.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
So Eagle fans, no problem except the you know when
we played, when I played, and I played in the
old stadium, it was the clearly the word field that.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
You could play on the period periods and uh put
that with the fans. The fans were the I don't
want to say the rudest.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
They were the most rugged fans that were for their teams.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Well, tell us about an interaction you had with an
Eagles fand did they try it? You know what happened?
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Imagine it? Imagine it and it happened.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I mean they threw human that happened.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
I said, imagine it was that was real?
Speaker 1 (13:38):
That what you like, I imagine like what I throw
a unicorn at you?
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Like?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
What do you mean to imagine?
Speaker 5 (13:44):
It was a problem. It was a problem if you
were not an Eagle. It was a problem.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
And to put on top of that, when I was
playing you guys had red red Reggie White.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
I'll tell you one somebody asked me, how, who was
the hardest hit I received?
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Reggie White one time hit me with one hand while
being blocked by another guy, and it was like, lord, hey,
it was so hard. But the front seven was the
absolute best that I ever played against, and we just
(14:22):
every time we I don't think we ever beat them.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
In fact, do you know what your record was against
the Eagles during your career.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
I don't think that we ever ever beat them.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
You know, maybe that hit by from Reggie white, maybe
the rules. But you know, the correct answer, which we'll
be happy to tell you, is one in four. You
are one, and I don't know why you don't remember
that one win. Maybe maybe there's an error in the
stack book, because oh and five sounds more realist. That
does sound more correct. I know what?
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Tell me what game was it that we be cheated?
Speaker 1 (15:00):
We're not gonna focus I have them. Actually, we don't
have researchers on the show. We just do it all
from memory. But I'm pretty sure its advice. I did
block a pun against nobody can nobody can? We don't
remember that.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Yeah, that's a highlight for my field.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah yeah, but you're a running back, so it doesn't
go on the resume.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Sorry, But sticking with those early Giants, we do want
to ask you. You know you left the Giants in
nineteen ninety three, the same year Lawrence Taylor retired.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Did you choose to leave that year.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Because you thought, oh, with Lawrence Taylor gone, there would
be no more you know, drug fueled sex, sorgies?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Great question?
Speaker 5 (15:43):
No, no, now, listen, Okay, let's get this through right.
I played that year and the year his last year
was my last year.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Jans.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
All right, so.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
We had very nice orgize parties.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Oh, like they put the cocaine lines in order? Is
that what you're saying? Like straight lines?
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Never, I have never seen cocaine in my life in
real life.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Oh it must be. Yeah, we already know. Maybe it's
within the memory with the other wind that never happened. Yeah,
that's right. Reggie White erase that.
Speaker 5 (16:22):
Oh okay, yeah, why are you guys talking about real life?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
You're talking about any given Sunday, because I then give
me Sunday with different than No, okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
All right, what do you think is worse a P
Diddy party or a Lord's dale a party? Which one?
Speaker 5 (16:35):
I've never been to a P d party.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
No, that's smart by you. This is smart se he
knows this is all being recorded. This is basically like
an FBI in derogation. You're watching, you know, Reggie White
at me, you know what, Actually, let's let's talk about
Derek hen because you know we looked this up, right,
you and Derrick Henry had basically the same body type, right,
six to three two fifty right, But you know, don't
(17:01):
you think it's a little unfair that you both got
to play running back. Yes, I mean you look, you'll
look like an offensive lineman. So don't you think maybe
the defense was afraid to tackle. You're confused. They didn't
want to get you know, charged with holding.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Yes to all your questions. Yes, but I played full back.
He's a running back. He's a tailback.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
You know.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
He didn't line up the block. Most of the time.
He lines up to get the ball and go.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
I got the ball sometimes and did well when I
had it, but most of the time I had another
back behind me.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Yeah, So why didn't they make Rodney Hampton the full
back and you the tailback?
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Right man? I asked the same question. That's one of
the reasons why I was ready. I was ready to
get out of there.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yeah, exactly. Can I ask you a question, have you
considered this? You know, maybe your coach said Rod, go
stand back there, and they were talking to you thinking
you were Jair Rod, but they then Rodney Hampton goes back.
Great connective tissue there. That sounds more sounds. I think
if you were just gone by Girard, you would have
(18:07):
been standing back there. But you were like, no, I'm Jared,
and you ruined your career. Giants ruining football careers left
and right. Daniel Jones, you should do a class You
should do a class action lawsuit. Daniel Jones will put
it together for you. You know, you Giant Eagles, we
(18:27):
have a shared bond, don't we.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
We do.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
We both hate Washington YEP, with the fire of a
thousand sons. So you know there's a lot of hype
right now around the commanders. You know they're getting so excited,
right but you know, we know this is gonna just
go off the rails. They suck and this Jaden Daniels
is going to turn into another RG three Jason Campbell.
Yeah he sucks. Yeah. Can you look at the camera
(18:50):
and just say, take it from me, someone who's seen
a bunch of your commanders all your games, give up
hope now because this is going to end boorly, hold on,
hold on, Why won't you do that? Excuse me, we're
supposed to be brothers. Take take two, go, no, no, no,
(19:11):
I want you want to be truthful. To be truthful,
you're not a giant. Yeah, you're a giant. You're a
giant waisted tie. That's what you are. Because you're a
show show. Sounds like a commander saying maybe you should
go please for them. Bunch of wasted time. It's the
(19:32):
off the line, Jay, hang up, that's why you can't
have giants on the show. Just said, poor performance as expected. Yeah,
that was a bunch of terrible takes there you go,
don't and in a good one and let's not let
him ruin, which was a terrific show all around. Because
we want to remind you go see the new movie theater.
(19:53):
Are you kidding me? Nobody wants to see every produce
j want?
Speaker 4 (19:59):
What why you guys said Daniel Jones hasn't thrown a
touchdown pass at MetLife Stadium in over two years?
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Yeah, bro, Yeah he's horrible.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Bro, it's been six hundred and forty days. Two years
is seven hundred and thirty days. That's third grade math.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Oh yeah, well you'll remind me of a third grader
from the waist down. Yeah, you have a third of
an adult penis. Oh great, one, Tony, Yeah what what go?
You said?
Speaker 4 (20:32):
People have been watching your clip on Instagram for sixty
five straight days.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah they love it, bro? Yeah hard data bro?
Speaker 4 (20:39):
Yeah, No, sixty five days is the cumulative watch time
of all the views. No one would watch one clip
for sixty five straight days.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Oh yeah, well the clip you would need to watch
is inside my machine gun.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Yeah, and you know what I've been doing for sixty
five eight days, your mom.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Oh and that's it. No moready, you we're out of time.
You had sponsorship obligations. You'll need to be quiet. Quiet.
And by the way, the one thing we do need
to mention Tony is cover to the show next week
just booked. Eagles legend future Hall of Famer Nick Foles
will be joined, so you don't forget rate and review
the show on all the podcast, by all the Merchant Tony,
