1
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: All right, all right, yo, coming to you alive from Philly.

3
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: always Bolly Foolsco. Here with Tony Foolsco and Tony. You know,

4
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: before we get into the show, you know, usually on

5
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: most sports shows, you know, the other ones that are terrible,

6
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: they give you what's called bantom right here, you know,

7
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: you know, they go on and on they say, oh,

8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: how you doing, how's your weekend? How's your grandma? Nobody

9
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: cares we on this show. We get straight into business,

10
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: don't we don it? Yeah, we respect your time, yep.

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: And that's the reason why, you know, we've been in

12
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: this business twenty two years while we have so many fans.

13
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: But you know, on the subject to someone who has

14
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: no fans, our guest last week, Joy Taylor terror. She

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: was certainly not a Joy, was she, Tony? She should

16
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: be named Agony Taylor because that's what it was like

17
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: for us. Yeah, And well, I wish we could say

18
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: we're bringing on a better guest this week, but you know, unfortunately,

19
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's going to be the case, Tony,

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: because we're gonna have on the show a quote unquote

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 1: highly successful author, this guy, Jeff Paulman. He's written books

22
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: on the eighties, Mets, nineties, Cowboys, all these other blah

23
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: blah blah whatever. Anyway, here's my problem with him and

24
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: his whole field. And this is what I'm gonna bring

25
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: up with him. You know, people, this is gonna be

26
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,279
Speaker 1: a little inside baseball. But the worst thing to happen

27
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: to the sports media business in the last fifty years

28
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: is long form. You know what long form is, Tony, Yeah,

29
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: I like to call it wrong form. There you go.

30
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: It's you know, you get to these pages on you know,

31
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: ESPN dot com. You click a link to read an article,

32
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: you scroll down, you keep scrolling, scrolling. It's like, uh yeah,

33
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: either dead Sea scrolls, You're scrolling so much. You know,

34
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: Grant Land the Ringer, Yeah, fifty thousand words on the

35
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: Minnesota Twins. Nobody cares, no, Puckett yourself, Yeah, exactly. And

36
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: this this guy Proman We're gonna have on. He's like

37
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: Bill Simmons times a thousand, the longest of the long form,

38
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: the wrongest of the wrong form, exactly. You know, his

39
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: books are like, you know, five billion pages long. Who

40
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: has the time? Yeah? And even if you did, why

41
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: would you want to spend it that way? Anyway, we're

42
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: gonna ask him those questions. And you know we're also

43
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: going to give him some ideas for better books, aren't we, Tony. Yeah,

44
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 1: we got a lot of good ideas. Millions. We probably

45
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: shouldn't give him a white Tony, at least not for free.

46
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: We'll probably have to work at a deal of someone

47
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: with them. But you know where we are masters of

48
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: short form. No banter, No, how's your weekend? So on

49
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: that note, let's get straight into a top story. All right,

50
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 1: top story this week? Easy call. Lebron James just absolutely

51
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: terrible without Anthony Davis was injured, and uh, you know

52
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: he's people compel Lebron and Tom Brady. Yeah, he's like

53
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and that he needs to surround himself with

54
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: talent to cover for his lack of it. Right, Yeah,

55
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: he's now exposed, he is. And you know we did

56
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: this list last year. You probably heard about it. It It

57
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: was a huge digital sensation, millions of lists. We did

58
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: a top ten all time NBA players list without Lebron,

59
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: just to show you that Lebron is not a top

60
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: ten all time player. Well, Tony, he did all the research.

61
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: It was his list, and now he's updated his list

62
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: to reflect the latest changes in the NBA. And hey,

63
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna do it again. We're gonna play the hits,

64
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: as they say in the business. So here we go

65
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: Tony's top ten all time NBA players. Take it away,

66
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: coming in at number ten. One of the greatest centers

67
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: of all time, Superman himself, Dwight Howard. All you have

68
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: to do is look at the effect he's had on

69
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: this sixes the first place six is this year. And oh,

70
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: by the way, what did he do last year for

71
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: Lebron and the Lakers help him win a title? He

72
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: was the key to that Lake is running. And also,

73
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: let's not forget he's also the greatest blocker in NBA history,

74
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: and now he's gonna block Lebron from winning another title.

75
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: So there you go, great choice, Tony, Thank you. Number

76
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: nine Spudweb the Nighties six Slam Dunk Champion, Atlanta Hall

77
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: five ft six. Nobody ever in history of basketball did

78
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: what he did for being five ft six. Absolutely, you

79
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: think of all your great short people of all time,

80
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: he's right up there with Michael J. Fox. Yeah, maybe two.

81
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: You know, I have him just above Gary Coldman as well.

82
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: Moving right along number eight. You know he fell a

83
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: few spots from last year. Michael Jordan's Yeah, he's good,

84
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: but you know what else he's good at? Quitting? This

85
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: guy quit two times on the Chicago Bulls. I don't

86
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: know about you, but just on that alone, he doesn't

87
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: get into my top five for being acquitter. You know,

88
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: you gotta think of it, Tony, when you put it

89
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: that way, if you were working a company and this

90
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: guy quit twice, you wouldn't make him employee of the year.

91
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: You'd fire, is asked, yep. Number seven Sean Kemp. Now

92
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: all you have to do is look at his stats

93
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,799
Speaker 1: and and be a jam. And nobody had more power

94
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: on their dunks than Sean Kemp. And need I remind

95
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: our audience when he got on fire unstoppable. There you go, Tony.

96
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: Nothing I can even add to that pure magic. There

97
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: good number six, LaMelo Ball And again I have to

98
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: remind the audience. In an all time list, it's not

99
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: just about what you did in the past, but it's

100
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: also about what you did in the future. You know,

101
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: what you have to do is extenuate the information that

102
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: you have into the years to come absolutely, and you know,

103
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: based on what we've seen this year, you gotta give

104
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: LaMelo ball at least six rings, seven rings. I mean,

105
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: book it, it's done. Yeah, coming in that number five,

106
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: big shot Bob, Robert Ory, you know, and our list.

107
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: You've gotta count titles, and so how can you have

108
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: Jordan's higher than Ory? You can't, can't. Jordan's got six

109
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: or he's got seven. Just learned to count and you'll

110
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: see he's clearly in the goat conversation. Robert Ory. Coming

111
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: in that number four, Anthony Davis. You know, all you

112
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: have to do is look at the Lakers with Anthony

113
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: Davis championship, and then look at them without him. You know,

114
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis is holding together the team kind of the

115
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: way his hair holds together as eyebrows. Yeah, absolutely, okay.

116
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: Number three Scottie Pippen. You know, look at Lebron without

117
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: a d then you have to so based on that,

118
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: m J wouldn't have been anything without Pipping. In fact, Tony,

119
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: one of my great disappointments was when I turned in

120
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: to see the Last Dance and it was all about Jordan's.

121
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: They focused on the wrong guy solutely. Number two Ben

122
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: Simmons and Joe LMB. You could have separate these two

123
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: on the court, so it just didn't seem right to

124
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: separate them on my top ten list. Yep, these two,

125
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta believe they're gonna win at least

126
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: eight championships by our projections, and you know they should

127
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: have been number one on the list, Tony, But uh

128
00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: as always the number one NBA basketball player of all time.

129
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: Dr J. Julius Irving for the nine consecutive time he

130
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: invented the dunk, and therefore he single handedly is responsible

131
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: for Michael Jordan's entire career and also every other basketball

132
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: player's entire career. And need I mentioned too during this

133
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: time of COVID and pandemic, doctors just don't get enough

134
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: credit these days, and this doctor deserves all of it,

135
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: Poulie Well said, Tony Well said, you know, and you

136
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: have to look at it when you put it in

137
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: that perspective. They didn't have COVID back in the seventies

138
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: or RADI, so you need you have to wonder if

139
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 1: Dr j was there stopping it all along. Uh, Tony,

140
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: another great job with this list. You know, I would

141
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: love to discuss it more. But I see our guest

142
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: coming on the line, so let's bring him on the

00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: sports writers of his generation. Oh but you know, those

147
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,200

Speaker 1: their hands. Anyway, his latest book, Three Ring Circus, that's

Speaker 1: be here. You know, we usually do prep for our guests.

154
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: But honestly, it would take way too long to read

155
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: one of your books. I mean, you know, we looked

156
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: for cliff notes. Unfortunately they don't exist because I don't know.

157
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: I guess you know your books aren't that popular enough.

158
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: But I want to know this. It would take me

159
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: a year at least to slog my way through any

160
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: of your books. How long does it take you to

161
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: write one of these things? Wait? So your your producer

162
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: did not mention this, but you didn't. You're having on

163
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: your show and you actually didn't read the book. Oh oh,

164
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, sorry, King of the Universe. We can't take

165
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: our time out to go through your whole biogue. This

166
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: is why we bring you on. You tell us, you

167
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: tell us about you. That's what called being a guest. Yeah,

168
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: we look for the cliff notes. You know, we saw

169
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: a white Fang, Call of the Wild. We didn't see

170
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: any of your books. So even like, because most of

171
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: these books come with a like a pamphlet that explains

172
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: the book and kind of breaks down some so you

173
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: didn't read any of that. Just to be clear, you

174
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: didn't read any of that. Well, maybe you should have

175
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: sent us that tire a better publicist. All right, it's

176
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: a fair point. What was your question? The question is,

177
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: and I can see why it takes you so long

178
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: to get words out. How long does it take you

179
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 1: to write a book? Uh? Usually about two and a

180
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: half years, two years, and you you just sit there,

181
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: you sit there at your computer. I mean that's what

182
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: you do. You do a lot of research. So you

183
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: sit there in your research and you go places and

184
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: the interview people and you dig deep into a subject

185
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: something clearly you would not be able to do well. Frankly,

186
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: I feel sorry for you. You're wasting your time doing that.

187
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 1: I mean, you know you ind of the post a

188
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: child for long form here. I mean, don't you agree

189
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: this long form crap is out of control? I mean,

190
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: who wants to read, you know, fifty thou words on

191
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Twins. I sure as hell don't. I don't

192
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: even want to read a tweet about the Minnesota Twins. Um.

193
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 1: I don't really want to read a tweet about the

194
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: Minnesota Twins either. But I mean, I know you guys

195
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: are filly guys, Like what if I wrote a book

196
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 1: about like the history of Ronda Worski and the Eagles.

197
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: Oh see, now you're thinking that's good. Yeah, now you're

198
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: on the right track at least. Yeah, you see, we

199
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: we sparked something in you because you know, look, look,

200
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: you know we're businessmen here, and we know when you

201
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: got the invite to be on this show, you are

202
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: very excited. You got this chance to reach on millions

203
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: of listeners here. So go ahead, We'll give you a chance.

204
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: Tell them what's the best book in your estimation that

205
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: you wrote? You know, the one you think everyone should read.

206
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: Go ahead. I wrote a book about Walker Payton called

207
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: Sweetness and you know, about the legendary Chicago very running back. Yeah,

208
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: but I could just YouTube highlights of Walter Payton just

209
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: as good. Why shouldn't Tony just YouTube highlights of Walter

210
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: Payton instead of, you know, wasting his time with your book?

211
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: What's in it for him? I actually think in the

212
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: case of Tony, youtubing clips would probably be best. The

213
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: book has more than ten pages, so I just you know,

214
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 1: learned to write fast, to learn to be more economical

215
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: with your words. All right, look, let's turn it around here.

216
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: As a public service, we have to ask you tell

217
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: you tell the audience what's the worst book, the worst

218
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 1: book you wrote, you know, the one that's really come on,

219
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: a total waste of money and time? Tell us I

220
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: wrote a book. I wrote a book about Roger Clemens

221
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: that I think twelve people read. And you can go

222
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: on eBay right now, that's a website and you can

223
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: get it for about a nickel. So if you go

224
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: to eBay at eBay dot com and put down a nickel,

225
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: you can probably get a copy of my Roger Clement's book.

226
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: It did not do well. Well. That leads to a

227
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: follow up question. You know, why did you waste your

228
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: time with Clemens? I mean, Tony tone you could you

229
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: could do the Clemens story as a tweet. Couldn't come on? Yeah? Ready,

230
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: here you go. Played for the Red Sox, Yankees, Astrods,

231
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: Blue Jays, did juice not in the Hall of Fame? Done?

232
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: Kept it under you go. We just did you a favorite.

233
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: That's better. I think we both made about the same

234
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: amount of money working on that book, so that worked out.

235
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: Good lesson for you. You know, I also wanted to

236
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: ask you. You wrote a book on the USFL, the

237
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: failed Football League. You know you do realize that league

238
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: folded in the nineteen eighties. Don't you think it's a

239
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: little late for a book like that to come out? Well?

240
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: You guys are I mean, I'm looking at you and

241
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: you're wearing an Egos jerseys jersey of a guy who

242
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: hasn't been on the Egos in fifteen years, twenty years,

243
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: So don't you think it's okay to write about people

244
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,599
Speaker 1: who like We just talked about the Jaworski book, Or

245
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: maybe I'll do a Jaworski in a Harold Carmichael book.

246
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 1: If I did those books, they haven't played for the

247
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: egos for thirty years. You'd still read the book. No

248
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: millions of alleged yeah, millions of people who would be

249
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: lining up for that book. They'd all know you could.

250
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: The line would be forming right now that you just

251
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 1: announced it on our show. Ye see, it's all coming

252
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: together here. You know, we're sparking ideas for you, and

253
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: you know, just on that note, I think we're onto

254
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: something he had Tony because it seems like we're helping

255
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: you pick topics. So what we're gonna do is we're

256
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: gonna give you some, as they called in the Business Book, proposals. Okay,

257
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: now i'll give you tell you in advance. These are

258
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: all home run ideas. So if you do choose, you know,

259
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: to accept any of them and decide to run with them,

260
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: you know, we'll just have to ask that you'll pay

261
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: us seventy of whatever you free money over here. I

262
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: was gonna pay, but seventies fine, all right, it's eighty good. Alright,

263
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: here we go. So here, first proposal? Get ready for this?

264
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: All right? First, wait, hold on, let me focus. Okay,

265
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: I can sense a little sock. Wait until you hear this,

266
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: then you'll see he was one of the great home

267
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: run hitter of all time, the nineteen eighties World Series winner.

268
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: Now he's in the Hall of Fame, Phillies legend, Mike Schmidt.

269
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: Tony tell him the title greatness, the Mike Schmidt story. There,

270
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: you got let me ask you this. Besides the fact

271
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: that he hit a lot of home runs and had

272
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: a pretty cool mustache, what exactly is it interesting about

273
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: Mike Schmidt? That is? That's a great right there? How

274
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: many home runs have you hit zero, especially in buck form, none?

275
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pass alright, alright, yeah, alright, you know, fair enough.

276
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: We give you the first point of refusal there, but

277
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: let's let's go to this next one. He was one

278
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: of the great pitchers of all time, our World Series

279
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: winning in ninety seven. Then and now he's in the

280
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, Phillies legend. Steve Tony hit him with

281
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: the title Excellence. That Steve Carlton story sango two million

282
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: copies right there. Okay, so here's the thing. I think

283
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: the title is just freaking awesome. I do. I'm not

284
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: gonna lie. I gotta say, just being honest as a

285
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: Jewish guy Steve Carton. I think he believes that there's

286
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: a there's a Elders of Zion, twelve Jews who want

287
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: to take over the world. And while I'm not saying

288
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 1: he's completely wrong, I would feel I don't know how

289
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: my mom would feel about me writing that book, so

290
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: I gotta pass. But the title is fucking brilliant. Well,

291
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, Q and On is very popular these days.

292
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: You can plug into that audience. You know, we know

293
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: a lot of people in it, so you know that's

294
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: probably could be at the Capitol handing out copies of

295
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: the book. There you go, good point Tonty. All right,

296
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: that made him a little uncomfortable, so let's move on.

297
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. I'm living this. I'm taking notes. Okay,

298
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: I'm taking notes. Yep, yeah, thank you. He was one

299
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: of the great pinch hitters of all time, a World

300
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: Series champion in two thousand eight, and the all time

301
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 1: record hold of the pinshit hole runs with twenty three.

302
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: Mr Clutch himself Philly's legend Matt Stairs. Tony hit him

303
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:22,640

321
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: name in the area of meal kits. Blue Apron people,

322
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: what the hell you're doing going food shopping? You know,

323
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,240

327
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: like grown ups don't. Uh, Tony, you know somebody who

328
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: had a tremendous experience didn't do with Blue Apron. Why

329
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: don't you tell the people about it? Yeah? So I

330
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: went over to my aunt Marie's and she had just

331
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: had dinner with her boyfriend Nunzio, and it smelled so good,

332
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: and I said, Marie, what's that smell? And Marie said,

333
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 1: that's the stuff tomato and zucchini. I had to live

334
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: it from Blue Apron, and not only is it delicious,

335
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: it's satisfying for all three of us. Then I said

336
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: three of you, and then she winked at me, and

337
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,479
Speaker 1: then Nunzio winked at me, and then the Blue Apron

338
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: delivery guy in the corner winked at me. And that's

339
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: when I realized that the tomatoes weren't the only thing

340
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: getting double stuffed. What a wonderful story and the true

341
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 1: testament to how Blue Apron can truly bring back the
