FunTranscript
00:00Was it basically, does anybody want to come over?
00:02And he's like, no, I need one more, one more, one more.
00:04Who is it?
00:05Okay, you have to come over.
00:06What's her name?
00:07Kylie or whatever.
00:09It wasn't even trying.
00:11They weren't even trying to hide that it was a photo op.
00:14It was Moses parting the Red Sea.
00:18And it was the way they parted the people was with bullets and tear gas.
00:22And then him coming out like, ah, look at me.
00:26Why?
00:26What was gotten out of it?
00:28Even the pastor of the church, a lady minister, was pissed off to the point of, Jamie, you said it.
00:35She sounded like she wanted to curse on National Team Day.
00:37Yeah, I was like, we're going to hear a bishop curse.
00:40Oh, my God.
00:40That'll be on loop for a while.
00:42Yeah, it's just, tell me.
00:44Tell me the good that came out.
00:45Tell me what the plan was and how it was executed was correct.
00:48That's all.
00:49Okay, so no one's been able to deny the story.
00:51No one's done that with us so far today.
00:53People have tried to justify it, which I don't find justification in it.
00:57If this is factually what happened, that tear gas was used on American citizens so that the president could take a photo op in front of a church.
01:05That's bad.
01:05That's a bad story.
01:06I've only heard people try to justify it.
01:08And the justification that they say is, well, this is a powerful message to the rest of the people in America that you can't do what you're doing.
01:14And I'm like, the people there weren't being violent.
01:16No.
01:17They were looting the church.
01:18I understand, what was it, the night before it got set on fire?
01:20Yeah.
01:22What about last night when you used it?
01:23Okay, so where was the tear gas two nights ago?
01:25Where was the tear gas when people were protesting in cops' faces in Michigan just two weeks ago screaming about haircuts?
01:33I don't know.
01:33Those protests were considered fine.
01:35Yeah, what was that about?
01:36That was psycho stuff.
01:37Like, what was it, people protesting the pandemic?
01:40Yeah, basically.
01:40Like, I can't go to my hairstylist?
01:42Yeah, more or less.
01:43What is it, by the way, in two weeks in Jersey, you can go to a hairstylist?
01:45Yeah, I mean, I don't disagree that things probably needed to start opening up a couple weeks ago.
01:50But those protests were deemed fine and harmless.
01:54And they were literally in cops' faces screaming at them.
01:57And the one thing that really got me last night was when they started pushing the people back away from the White House and clearing it out.
02:04You see, there's a cameraman right there, and this one guy's limping.
02:07And he's like, he just got shot by a rubber bullet.
02:10And he's limping, and you can tell her, and he goes, and you hear a voice say, oh, my God, we mean nothing.
02:16And I saw a couple stories that referenced it, too.
02:19Like, you were standing there peacefully protesting, everything was fine, and then it's true.
02:25Someone decided that you meant nothing.
02:27They didn't ask you to leave.
02:28They didn't make an announcement that in a half hour you are to disperse, there is a curfew.
02:33None of that.
02:34It was, here we come because the president said we should do this.
02:39And he wants to make a speech at the same time that we're shooting bullets at you and shooting tear gas at you.
02:45Yeah.
02:46Somebody tweeted me today that I have said multiple times I hate talking politics.
02:50Yet for the last two days I've been talking politics.
02:52Yesterday we were talking about racism, and I really hate that tie-in.
02:55I really hate that tie-in because that implies that you can't talk about racism without it being political.
02:59And I really hate that kind of narrative that gets drawn from it.
03:03Yesterday, or today, we are talking politics.
03:05And they were like, for two days you've been talking politics.
03:07Well, first off, it's one day.
03:08And even if it was two, that's two in 15 years where it's been a topic of conversation out of my mouth.
03:13But I can't sit idly by with a microphone on in front of me and not talk about the most pressing issue on Americans' minds today.
03:20Yeah, sports radio is an interesting platform because it's a community platform.
03:24Yes, exactly.
03:24It's sports-driven, but there's rarely a place where you can come without a political agenda and just have a community discussion.
03:34And this past week has forced our hand.
03:38I mean, we wouldn't be doing our jobs if we weren't discussing what was going on in the city.
03:44If what happened yesterday in Washington, D.C., if it happened the way everyone's portraying it to happen,
03:49and let's say a year from now, somebody asked me what I was talking about on this day,
03:54and I said, oh, I was breaking down a 114-game schedule by Major League Baseball that may or may not happen,
03:59I'd be ashamed of myself.
04:00Yeah.
04:01I would be ashamed of myself if I ignored this story.
04:03But this is, again, on such a Bond villain level that I just can't comprehend it,
04:08which is why I'm hoping that it's not an accurately portrayed story.
04:12And so far, no one's been able to be like, oh, no, that's not at all what happened.
04:15No, yeah, that's what happened.
04:16And I think we're approaching it in the right way where we want to learn.
04:20Tell us.
04:20You know, look, if we're being ignorant to something, let us know.
04:23And that's what we said at the top of the show, Mark.
04:26Tell us.
04:27You know, if this was a play in football, you and I don't understand it, Jamie.
04:30We don't understand it.
04:32We're scratching our heads.
04:33Let us know why.
04:34Let us know what the outcome was supposed to be.
04:37Was it reached?
04:38And what good it did?
04:39Because we're all ears.
04:40As I said earlier, I think the best way we get through this is to communicate.
04:43Learn about somebody.
04:44Learn about somebody whose struggles you've never gone through before.
04:48Listen and understand.
04:49Okay, I'll listen and understand to what you tell me about this.
04:52And, Mark, you put it so great at the beginning of the show.
04:55Let us know.
04:55We're all ears.
04:56And we haven't had it in three and a half hours.
04:59No.
05:01Hopefully.
05:02Yeah.
05:02We're asking a question.
05:04Now, the other thing that we've gotten to.
05:06By the way, I'm being suggested now by the same gentleman that said,
05:08don't say, we Gucci.
05:10Instead, say, we Fauci.
05:11I don't know if it really rolls off the tongue the way, you know, that it's supposed to.
05:17But whatever.
05:17Maybe I'll give it a shot.
05:18You know, for the sake of his sons.
05:19And you know what?
05:20Furthering the embetterment of a generation, I will say we Fauci.
05:24Maybe.
05:24I'll consider working it in.
05:26But I think it also does go a long way when you do see these athletes come out and speak
05:30out about it.
05:31And we read to you earlier what Ben Simmons had to say about it, which was basically,
05:34if you're going to stand idly by and you're not going to support me in a time like this,
05:38then I don't want your support at all.
05:39Basically, if you're my if you call yourself a fan of Ben Simmons, he doesn't want you to
05:43be a fan unless you're going to stand with him and and not ignore people that are not
05:47allowing other people to be equal on an equal platform.
05:50And other athletes have come out and said that as well along those same lines.
05:53Heck, Tobias Harris was marching on Saturday.
05:56Mike Scott was on the phone with him while he was doing it because he couldn't be there.
06:00Jason Richardson came out and said or Josh Richardson came out and said, hey,
06:04more power, more power to you, Tobias Harris.
06:06Odell Beckham Jr., I believe, came out and said something against protesting or not exactly
06:11all all for it.
06:12And Tobias Harris was like, hey, fam, got to disagree with you on this.
06:16This is where we got to take a stand.
06:18Carson Wentz, Zach Ertz, these guys come out and spoke about it.
06:21You have Richard Sherman saying, hey, yes, more white athletes need to talk about it.
06:25Jason Kelsey was so moved by Deshaun Jackson to rest addressing the team yesterday during
06:30one of their conferences on Zoom or my team or the team's app.
06:35He he was moved enough to put something out on social media as well.
06:38This is reaching new levels of audience, which I think is if you want to talk about a successful
06:43protest, that's something you could talk about.
06:45Yeah, successful movement that's been going across the United States for the last week.
06:48If you want to talk about something that's successful, people that normally don't talk about
06:52this are talking about it.
06:54That is, I think, a huge victory in all this.
06:58Look, no one's snapping their fingers.
07:00No one's taking one march or two marches down Broad Street.
07:02And all of a sudden, there's no more racists in the world.
07:05All of a sudden, there's equality.
07:06No, that's not going to happen.
07:07But you got to continue to move the ball forward.
07:10No pun intended to football.
07:12You got to continue to advance the human thought.
07:14That's what you have to do.
07:15And by these people talking about it, they don't know.
07:17Even us talking about this on the show, this is something we don't normally go into.
07:20But when it's like this, and it's what everyone's talking about, we got to have that conversation.
07:26We can't ignore it.
07:27You know, we learn from the callers.
07:29We try to put out our opinions.
07:31Maybe the callers learn some or have new thoughts because of stuff that we put out there.
07:35And I just can't help but think that's the way you get through these types of things.
07:39And I'll bring up JB's call from yesterday again when he said that there's not an era yet
07:44as a 45-year-old black man that he wished he grew up in.
07:48That hit me, man.
07:49And I told you yesterday, that was my takeaway of the day.
07:52It was that kind of like, you know, stopped me in my tracks that, God, there's a 45-year-old
07:57man that really thinks like that.
07:59And, you know, I've never had to think that way.
08:01I learned something yesterday from that.
08:03And if you can sit and talk to somebody, if you can listen instead of saying, I'm right,
08:08I'm right, you're wrong.
08:08If you can listen, maybe you'll learn something.
08:11Maybe it's a slow little process of moving forward when you do learn something.
08:15Yeah, that's all we can hope for.
08:17And as we discussed at length earlier in the show, it all starts at home.
08:20It all starts with the message that we're teaching the younger generation.
08:23And we hope to make sure that we're teaching them the right message, which is equality.
08:28No one wants to look at somebody else and go, OK, well, those people over there, well,
08:31they're less than you.
08:32So let's talk about something different.
08:33Like, I really hope that's not what's going on.
08:36And even if you're not doing that with your words, maybe you're doing it by your actions.
08:40And that's something that I think we all have to be cautious of.
08:42And that's something I'm even trying to think about.
08:44Like, even the way I talk when my daughter's in the room, I'm like, at what point do I
08:47got to watch what I have to say?
08:49I have that on time.
08:50You're good.
08:51Oh, now I'm good.
08:51I'm good for a while, right?
08:52I need to go in broadcasting mode full time because I have the mouth of a trucker sometimes.
08:56I'm going to give my wife a dump button.
08:58I'm going to be like, OK, when I say something totally inappropriate.
09:01Give me that seven seconds back.
09:02Take the seven seconds.
09:03Hit it twice for 14, obviously.
09:05In a real emergency, hit it three times.
09:07You'll get 21 seconds.
09:08That's all we got.
09:09No more cursing after that.
09:10I feel like microphones at podiums should have dump buttons.
09:14Like, did that go out?
09:15There was no delay?
09:16Oh, damn it.
09:19We're trying to understand, Robert.
09:20That's what we're trying to do.
09:21That's all.
09:22That's all.
09:22Explain to us.
09:23Teach us.
09:24Yeah.
09:25Now, like I said, all morning, this has been the main subject because we can't sit idly by
09:30when something like this happens.
09:31We have worked in sports conversation.
09:33We'll continue to do that for the rest of the hour as well.
09:35We will talk about that 114 game schedule that was proposed by the owners.
09:38Excuse me.
09:39Proposed by the players.
09:40Countered by the owners with a 50 game schedule.
09:43Still trying to make sense of it.
09:47We'll also give you Mike Trout's numbers just to talk about some of the bigger name players
09:50and what they could be making.
09:52We'll also give you really both ends of the spectrum.
09:55One of the highest paid guys talking about Mike Trout.
09:57And then we'll also talk about like Otani, for instance, who I didn't even realize was
10:00only going to make a $700,000 base salary.
10:03We'll talk about what his money would look like and all that and whether or not baseball
10:06is going to come around in general.
10:08We'll also touch on the NBA, what they have in store right now, because it seems like
10:12they have settled on a number of teams and the NHL hopefully just around the corner.
10:15610-632-0975.
10:17610-632-0975.
10:20Time at the Fanatic 923.
10:22And Window Nation, ladies and gentlemen, my wife and I, we were lucky enough when we bought
10:26our house to have Window Nation come around.
10:28They checked out on windows, told us we were good to go.
10:30And why was that?
10:31Well, because the previous owners had put on Window Nation windows just a couple of years
10:34prior.
10:34How about that?
10:35So we are, we're pretty set, but if your home needs new windows, especially with CDC guidelines
10:40being what they are, they want you to open your windows so that you can allow ventilation
10:43to go throughout the house.
10:44Well, if you can't open those windows, it's time to give Window Nation a call at 1-866-90-NATION
10:49or visit windownation.com.
10:51And here's what they're doing for you.
10:52If you don't feel comfortable having somebody in the house, guess what?
10:54CDC, if you want to hear all those guidelines, they're doing virtual consultations, virtual consultations.
11:01That's what they're doing at Window Nation.
11:03They're also giving you up to 50% off any style window, whether it's one window or the
11:07whole house.
11:08And how about this?
11:09It doesn't stop there.
11:1124 months.
11:12That's right.
11:1324 months with no payments.
11:16You don't pay a nickel.
11:18How about that?
11:18Call 1-866-90-NATION or visit windownation.com.

11:39Baseball's attempt to hit the diamond continues as ESPN's Jeff Passan is reporting that Major
11:43League Baseball intends to propose a shorter season in which they would play players a full
11:48prorated share of their salaries.
11:50The potential season would be around 50 games with the aim to return in July.
11:54Now, Major League Baseball will continue to discuss alternatives to this with the players,
11:58but they believe their original March agreement with players allows them to mandate a shorter
12:03season and they're prepared to use that option in the absence of a deal with the Players
12:07Association.
12:08In more negative news, and this one's local, according to Jim Salisbury, the Phillies have
12:12informed employees that the team will institute pay cuts.
12:15While salaries have been cut for the time being, the Phillies have vowed not to cut jobs or benefits
12:20through October.
12:21More local athletes have gone to social media to take a stand against racial inequality.
12:26Sixers Ben Simmons tweeted, no more excuses, don't turn your back on racism, while Eagles
12:30center Jason Kelsey took his Instagram and posted a heartfelt message denouncing the systematic
12:35racism in our society.

15:54Now, more of Farsetta in the Morning with Bob Cooney and Jamie Lynch on 97.5 The Fanatic.
16:03My buddy heard me mention that meat eater show on Netflix.
16:07With caribous.
16:09The guy really likes hunting.
16:10Steve Rinella is the guy's name, and I've never hunted.
16:14And, like, we're talking about it.
16:15I was talking about it with a buddy of mine.
16:16The same buddy just texted me, and he goes, you know the hunting thing?
16:19And he's like, what, are you going to have, like, the heads mounted in your living room?
16:22I'm like, I'm not going hunting, first off.
16:24You would never consider going hunting?
16:26Oh, I would.
16:27Because, like, I'm not a vegetarian.
16:31You know what I mean?
16:31So, like.
16:32Yeah.
16:32Like, what is interesting is they take people like myself, non-hunters, in a couple of the
16:37episodes, and they say they always wanted to hunt.
16:39And one of these women from New York that actually grew up in the city, she goes, well,
16:44I'm a meat eater.
16:44Like, I eat meat.
16:46I'm a carnivore.
16:47I should take responsibility for it at some point.
16:50And I'm like, well, that's a good way to put it.
16:51But it's like, I don't think I'd ever be one of the people, and I'm not saying it's wrong.
16:55It's just my own personal preference.
16:56I wouldn't, like, put the animal in my house.
16:59No, no, no, no, no.
17:00On the wall.
17:00Yeah, no, no.
17:01Like, I've been eating steak my whole life.
17:03You know what I mean?
17:04I don't want every bear, or excuse me, every cow on my wall being like, you enjoy eating
17:08me?
17:08You know what I mean?
17:09I don't want that person.
17:09I don't want that thing looking at me.
17:10You know what I mean?
17:11I don't think I do either.
17:12No.
17:12That's a good point.
17:13That's more so the avenue I don't want to go.
17:16But the thing about hunting, it's almost like the first time you go golfing, it's like you
17:20think you know, all right, the sport is to shoot and kill.
17:22Right, right, right.
17:23And in golf, you know, you hit the ball, and then eventually get in a hole.
17:25But there's all the outlying rules that would, you know, scare you a little bit.
17:31Like, once you get out and you golf a few times, you realize, oh, you can't walk over
17:34here, be like this, that, the other.
17:36On your line.
17:36Yeah, so hunting is kind of, I would guess, the same thing, only it's a little more serious
17:40because people are shooting guns.
17:42Oh, yeah.
17:43Yeah, so.
17:44You don't want to pull a Dick Cheney.
17:46Yeah, right.
17:46Oh, sorry about shooting you there with a shotgun.
17:49My bad.
17:49Dude, did you see Vice, by the way?
17:51Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:52Both of you saw it?
17:53Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:53It's weird.
17:54Last night we were sitting there.
17:55Adam McKay is a great Philadelphia product.
17:56Oh, he is.
17:57Absolutely.
17:57So we're sitting there last night talking about, or no, it was the day before when somebody
18:01came over and we're talking about what have you watched or whatever.
18:03That is my move.
18:04That's what I'm watching Friday night.
18:06I'm watching Vice.
18:06Oh, you haven't seen it yet?
18:07I haven't.
18:08I really want to see it.
18:09The way he produces and directs movies is really unique.
18:13I was just about to spike the football and say, wait a minute.
18:17Is this the first time someone on the show has asked if we've seen a movie and we've all
18:21seen it?
18:22Yeah.
18:22It was close.
18:23And then I thought, and Bob's introducing it, so I was like, oh my God, Bob saw a movie
18:26we all saw?
18:27No, I will.
18:28As of Friday, I will.
18:29Yeah.
18:30As of Friday, you will.
18:30It'll be there.
18:31It's a good one.
18:32It's a really interesting movie.
18:33Yeah.
18:33Yeah.
18:33I always, whenever it's a biopic, no matter what it's about, politics, sports, music,
18:37whatever, I always go, I'm sure there's truth in here somewhere.
18:40Like, I'm sure it's all not verbatim accurate.
18:43Like, even one of the other Adam McKay's movie, not Wolf of Wall Street, The Big Short.
18:50Okay.
18:51Great movie.
18:51My buddy got laid off from Lehman Brothers.
18:54True.
18:54And I said, okay, I just need to know, did you guys really have Red Bull stacked that high
18:57in the middle of the room?
18:59My idiot brain, that's what I default to.
19:01And he's like, we didn't have them stacked.
19:02We had them outlining.
19:03And it was a table full of cocaine.
19:05It wasn't Red Bulls.
19:07He goes, it was lining the walls.
19:09Like, we tried to build them up along the walls.
19:12And I'm like, so you were like in a Red Bull palace?
19:14And he was like, kind of.
19:15I go, that's even cooler than a tower.
19:17What the hell?
19:17So from what I've seen from the trailers, you don't believe that Dick Cheney convinced
19:22George Bush to have him as his vice president as George Bush had barbecue sauce coming
19:26out of the side of his face?
19:27Exactly.
19:28More or less.
19:29Yeah.
19:29I saw that on the trailer.
19:31I don't know.
19:32There are.
19:32Yeah.
19:32You can have me as your vice president, but I'm running things.
19:35Oh, okay.
19:36And he's got barbecue sauce on the side of his face.
19:39Yeah.
19:39Through anything represented through art.
19:41I believe it's inspired stories.
19:43I think Sam Rockwell is like the most underrated actor.
19:46Yeah.
19:46Very good actor.
19:47Of the last like 15, 20 years.
19:49I think he's phenomenal.
19:49Yeah.
19:53I think what was the game show movie he played?
19:55The game show guy.
19:57Chuck somebody?
19:58Chuck Woolery?
19:58Chuck Woolery.
19:59No, Chuck.
19:59Chuck Woolery.
20:00Chuck Woolery was the real horny one, right?
20:01Chuck Berry.
20:02Chuck Berry the singer?
20:03No, not Chuck Berry.
20:04Not Chuck.
20:05Chuck Woolery was a game show.
20:06No, it's not.
20:06No, it's the guy from Philadelphia.
20:07Yes.
20:08Who was the gong show guy?
20:10Yes.
20:11Chuck.
20:11We have the owl paw on his crotch.
20:13No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
20:14Oh, look at you.
20:15Oh, this is fun watching Bob try to do game show things.
20:17All right, Bob, I'm pulling it up.
20:19You better, you got Chuck.
20:20It begins with a B.
20:22You know, something tells me.
20:23Yes, it does.
20:23Something tells me.
20:24It starts with a B and an A.
20:26You're getting close.
20:26You're warm.
20:28Does Dan Schwartz know?
20:29Oh, my God.
20:30Dan Schwartz.
20:31What's up, buddy?
20:32Yo, what's going on, guys?
20:33Do you know the game show host from Philly named Chuck?
20:36I don't.
20:37I don't.
20:37From the gong show, Chuck Beres.
20:39There you go.
20:40Jeez.
20:40Just popped into my head.
20:42Chuck Beres.
20:43I'll be honest with you.
20:43I don't know what the hell I know anymore.
20:45My brain is like, I'm not kidding.
20:47I'm not kidding when I tell you.
20:48My brain is jumbled.
20:49I feel like there's bricks on my shoulders every day.
20:52It's just like, because this problem's on us all, if we want to be honest.
20:56It's on every single individual.
20:58Yeah.
20:59If you don't mind, I want to touch into a little bit of the racism and white privilege aspect,
21:05and then just give me a quick thing on my opinion of Trump.
21:08So this will be your second Trump call.
21:10It might be on the other side, though.
21:11No, no, no, no, no.
21:12But here's the thing, Dan.
21:13It says Dan Schwartz, and it says country.
21:16It doesn't say Trump.
21:18Well, that's all.
21:19He's the leader.
21:20It's all encompassing.
21:21I had to pee.
21:21I was running out.
21:22I just wrote out country.
21:23All right.
21:23Fine.
21:23I don't want to take up all your time, so I'm going to try to be quick with this.
21:27Go for it.
21:28As far as racism, okay.
21:30To say I'm not a racist, if you tell somebody I'm not a racist, it's not only not good enough,
21:35it's not acceptable.
21:37Because in my mind, if it's wrong, and we deem it as wrong, I don't need to go up to anybody
21:42and say, hey, I'm not a murderer.
21:43I'm not a rapist.
21:45Okay?
21:46So to say I'm not a racist, to me, it just paints the wrong picture because, yeah, you're
21:54not a racist, because it's wrong.
21:55Why would you have to state that?
21:57To be anti-racist is different, okay?
22:00That's a statement you can be.
22:01Right.
22:01And you can only really do so much because you can't go, just like you can't go on a
22:05murderer's head to stop the murder, you can't go on a racist's head to find out if he's
22:09racist, what he's going to do, but you can be vocal every single day, and you can speak
22:13out every single day, okay?
22:15And an example of that is, if we want to get into white privilege, I rode around, and I'm
22:20not kidding you, for 11 months with a bad inspection tag on my car, okay?
22:24Because I'm lazy, I'll be straight up.
22:25Okay?
22:26It's not smart.
22:27But I went 11 months because I'm 5'2", I'm white, my seat's all the way forward, two
22:32hands on the wheel, I knew I'd never get pulled over, I'm just going to be straight.
22:36If that's a black guy in a hoodie, he ain't making 11 minutes, let alone 11 months.
22:39But it's just, it's things like that, it's not so much, people take it in the respect
22:45of all, they're not saying, I work hard enough, or however they want to use it and get offended
22:50by it, when it has nothing to do with that, that's besides the point.
22:54Okay?
22:55And when I bring it to the President, in my mind, I feel like Trump would love nothing
23:01more than to have total power.
23:03Okay?
23:03Now, you bring up Antifa, which I don't agree with, the bomb and loot and whatever you want
23:07to write, but you wouldn't have Antifa if you didn't have a fascist president.
23:12In my mind, I've directly seen him lie on TV to me when he said the cases were going to
23:18go to 15 to 0.
23:19I saw him suggest antibiotics for a viral infection when they can only use them, bacterial
23:25infections.
23:25And he suggested, during yesterday, he said that he supports peaceful protesters as the
23:32cops were throwing tear gas all over the protest.
23:36So he lied directly to your face, live in the moment yesterday.
23:39In my mind, I think he's egotistical.
23:41I think he's a sociopath.
23:43And I think he'll do anything to get more and more power.
23:46And if people lie, they lose.
23:48And he can use that to get martial law.
23:50I think he'd love it because it would give him more power.
23:52I think he's all about power and himself.
23:54And that's my opinion.
23:56And that's where I'm at with it.
23:57I'm not going to try to deter your opinion.
23:59Thanks, man.
24:00Thanks for the call.
24:00I appreciate it.
24:01And we have somebody who just tweeted me.
24:03This guy, Nick, just tweeted me.
24:05Steve, I don't know, Steve Crack, Crack Hour, is how he is.
24:12He's got a blue checkmark on Twitter.
24:14And he sent me a side-by-side of this was on CNN.
24:17And I believe also, well, CNN is the feed.
24:20And it has the protesters having the tear gas thrown at them while the president is
24:24addressing the nation in the Rose Garden of the White House.
24:26And it says it's side-by-side to give the impression that the president could hear the protesters.
24:34Did people, like, was that the intent?
24:37If that was the intent, watching it, and I caught it after the fact yesterday, I didn't think that's
24:44what was happening, that he could hear the people.
24:46They weren't far away.
24:48Well, I'm not denying that.
24:49Yeah.
24:50I mean, you could prove that, you know.
24:51I mean, you could hear the canisters being fired.
24:53You could hear.
24:54On TV.
24:54Yes.
24:55And a guy, it might have been a CNN guy, said, you know, we can hear this as the president
25:01is speaking.
25:03While he was at the White House?
25:04In the Rose Garden.
25:05Oh, wow.
25:06Well, as the president was speaking in the Rose Garden, and there was a clip that I listened
25:10to last night, or it may have even been this morning.
25:13If you listen to a clip, you get in the background.
25:16Right.
25:16As he's speaking.
25:17And Jamie said, and I find it hard to disagree with him, this was planned out.
25:23It wasn't planned out, it was choreographed.
25:26It certainly seems like that.
25:27Like, when you saw the live side-by-side of his speech in real time compared to the protesters,
25:34the tear gassing started at certain lines of his speech.
25:38Like, it was no accident when it happened.
25:41He said, you know, we will come down with the full power of, you know, whatever, whatever,
25:45whatever, and like, right after that is when the pushing and the tear gas started.
25:50It wasn't, I mean, it was straight up choreographed.
25:53It was a PR event for him, not a moment of presidency.
25:58Here's what is undeniable.
26:00Like, media sensationalism?
26:02Like, that exists.
26:03I'm not going to deny it.
26:03Oh, totally.
26:04Because if it bleeds, it leads, as the old story goes.
26:06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:06It's the basic information, right?
26:07But if I watch that, as I did, I didn't get the impression, like, oh, the president is talking over people, like, literally talking over.
26:14I got the sense that they let the audio play from the people being tear gassed while the press conference was going on.
26:22Now, if that was to encourage, as this guy Steve is saying, encourage people to believe that the president was talking over all the people being gassed, basically, then, yeah, that's an awful thing.
26:32It's not, there's no journalistic integrity there whatsoever.
26:34But if you're sitting there at the press conference and you can hear all that, and we know it wasn't that far away, then that's awful.
26:42That's hideous.
26:43Yeah.
26:44But that's why I am asking the question about what people believed happened yesterday.
26:48I'm not jumping to the conclusion of, oh, what the media fed is, because once I saw that on one channel, I flipped to another and said, what are they covering?
26:54And they had some other conversation going on that wasn't even about the president going to St. John's.
26:58And I'm like, okay, well, I don't know who to believe, so let me ask people what they believe actually happened.
27:02So we'll continue that conversation, obviously, but as I promised before the break, I wanted to get into what's going on with the NHL and the NBA and the MLB real quick.
27:11And, Bob, you saw the story with the NBA.
27:13Right now, 16 teams seems like it's out the window.
27:17Yeah.
27:17They're not doing that.
27:18What they're doing is 22 teams.
27:20I'm fine with that because it gives us more games, and I think you're going to have to expand it beyond 16 teams
27:27in order to get those other 16 teams in.
27:31In other words, it's going to be a faster return to play because it's going to be easier to get players on board with a return
27:36if more players are involved in it.
27:39It's easier, logistically speaking, to only have 16 teams.
27:42Yeah.
27:42But to actually have the NBA start up again, they're not going to be able to do that without six more teams.
27:49Logistically, yes, not easy or harder.
27:52For actually having those teams come together, though, it's going to be easier to get them all to say yes.
27:57Yeah.
27:59Yeah, I guess.
28:00Yeah.
28:00Now they're also talking about teams that don't make the playoffs.
28:03They're going to let them have a camp.
28:05Oh, I didn't see that part.
28:06So they're going to let them have camps because if they don't, like we talked about last week,
28:10if they don't get into NBA play and there's no regular season, NBA playoff play,
28:13and there's no regular season, they're going to go like nine, ten months without having, you know,
28:18been with each other and been on the court.
28:20So I did see that report somewhere, too.
28:24Yeah, I'm still convinced that the quickness of it, and I think this is how it's going to come about,
28:31will be like a ten team.
28:34It won't be the eight and eight.
28:35It won't be 16 altogether, but probably the 22.
28:38Okay.
28:38All right.
28:39I don't know how they're working it out exactly.
28:4222 teams and personnel and essential staff in one city, like Orlando.
28:47I understand they've got a lot of hotels going on.
28:49They've got the whole Disney World thing.
28:50It's about 400 players alone.
28:53All right.
28:54It's difficult, but I think that's the necessary evil.
28:57350 players alone, yeah, and then staff and medical equipment.
29:01I hate to even say evil in that, but, yeah, that's what's needed to start things up again.
29:07That's kind of the compromise that has to happen.
29:09We'll get Howard and Easton when we come back,
29:11and we'll flip it around to exactly what the Major League Baseball owners are suggesting right now
29:17in the midst of all this with players hopefully returning possibly a 50-game schedule.
29:22And like I said, we'll break down the numbers when it goes to Mike Trout
29:24and when it also goes to somebody making only $700,000 to play baseball.

32:45I'm John Morgan of Morgan & Morgan.
32:48Whenever I hear of an injured person hiring such and such a lawyer, I wonder, why'd they choose that law firm?
32:55Did they see the lawyer on a big billboard, a radio ad, or maybe an advertisement on television or the back of a bus?
33:02Maybe they just Googled it and clicked the first name that showed up, and then almost all the time, I worry.
33:08I worry if they know what that lawyer is really all about.
33:12Do they know when the last time that lawyer tried a personal injury case, or maybe if they ever even did?
33:18Does the lawyer have the resources to get the most for the client, or does the lawyer need the money more than the client does?
33:24And you'd be surprised to hear how many do.
33:27Here's my advice.
33:28Do your research.
33:29Results matter.
33:31Reputation matters.
33:32As the largest personal injury firm in America, there's really nothing like us.

34:07Like, this guy just has an encyclopedic memory.
34:10Oh, yeah.
34:10And he just goes, Barris.
34:11Chuck Barris is who you're talking about there.
34:14The game show host.
34:15Boom.
34:16I never watched the gong show.
34:17Oh, it was the greatest.
34:18So is that what they would give somebody a chance to perform, and if they socked, they got gonged off?
34:21Yeah.
34:21JP Morgan.
34:23Yeah, yeah.
34:23He had celebrity guests that would gong them.
34:25It was great.
34:26It was on at like 12.30 in the afternoon.
34:28And Chuck Barris always appeared like he was bombed out of his mind.
34:32It's awesome.
34:32Well, those old game show hosts were, one, very horny, and two, um, they probably had a glass of scotch or whiskey before air.
34:40I don't know.
34:41Different times, man.
34:42I'll say this.
34:43When I watched the show Mad Men, which I did a couple years ago, I binged it.
34:46I was like, you know what I need?
34:47They always drink.
34:48I need, like, there's a reason why I built, like, the Rat Pack Studios in my basement.
34:52Like, that's what I got.
34:53So you can go drink whiskey inside.
34:54So I have a little rolling cart down there, and I just, like, you know, pour myself a glass of whiskey and just drink and go, oh, God, what a day.
34:59Somebody give me a cigarette.
35:02I don't even smoke.
35:02I don't even smoke cigars now.
35:04I want to hook up a ventilation system in my basement so I can smoke in the basement.
35:08But that's probably not a good idea.
35:09Not cigarettes.
35:10Just an occasional cigar.
35:11Yeah.
35:12But what the hell were we talking about?
35:14Chuck Barris.
35:14Chuck Barris.
35:16No, he was the guy with the Alpo.
35:17He would take Alpo and spread it on his crotch so when they had a dog on the show, it would always go right to his hibbity-dibbity.
35:23Really?
35:24Oh, yeah.
35:25Why?
35:25That was a known trick behind the scenes.
35:27Why?
35:28Because it's funny.
35:29Comedy.
35:30Comedy, Jamie.
35:31Is it?
35:32You don't think that's funny?
35:33The dog would go to his crotch?
35:34They'd always go to the crotch.
35:36But what's...
35:37Oh, this is the thing you're mature about?
35:38What am I missing?
35:40Like, the dog would just go over and be like, oh, he probably...
35:43And lick his crotch on TV?
35:44It wasn't...
35:45No, he had pants on.
35:47It would sniff his crotch.
35:50It's an old TV trick, James.
35:53See, we're talking about, like, the 70s.
35:54I guess I'm missing something.
35:56It's hilarious.
35:57Stop it.
35:57No, all right, yeah.
35:58But that sounds like a good game show to bring back, as somebody that's never seen it.
36:01They brought it back for a second with Mike Myers, where he was like a dream actor.
36:03Did they really?
36:03Yeah.
36:04He was dressed up, but you didn't recognize him as Mike Myers.
36:06Really?
36:07Yeah.
36:07It lasted, like, three episodes, and then people were like, I see why this died in the 70s.
36:11No, it was such...
36:12It's a great show.
36:13It was a great...
36:13And then in the middle of the show, but only once in a while, music would start in the
36:17middle of Chuck Perry's talking, and it'd be Gene Gene the Dancing Machine's music.
36:22And this big, overweight black guy would just come out, and he would just kind of strut
36:27around, and everybody would start dancing, and it was a party, and you'd be like, oh,
36:30the gong show, Gene Gene the Dancing Machine was on today.
36:34That was great.
36:35Those were great times, James.
36:37Sounds like I missed it.
36:38Yeah.
36:39Sounds like we need the gong show back.
36:40I think we need it back.
36:41I agree.
36:42Like, come on.
36:43In all honesty, you wish you didn't have that thing for, like, somebody at work?
36:46They just start talking, gong.
36:48You're done.
36:49Next.
36:49Yeah.
36:50Anyway, I mentioned this earlier, so I'm going to get to it right here.
36:54The Major League Baseball, I don't think they know if they're coming or going.
36:58I don't understand what they're trying to do.
36:59I know they're trying to come back, kind of, but the players went out and said, you
37:03know what?
37:04We're going to do 114 games for you.
37:06To hell with your original offer.
37:07We're going to nail down a number of games that we want to do.
37:09We're going to do the pro-rated salaries, and we're good to go.
37:12So 114 games.
37:14The owners, Bob, they counter with, all right, if you want pro-rated, most we can do is 50
37:20games.
37:22What's in the middle, Bob?
37:24Between 114 and 150?
37:26Excuse me, 114 and 50?
37:28Six and carry the two.
37:2982.
37:2982 games.
37:32More or less, originally what the owners proposed with that sliding pay scale from last week.
37:37Well, here's how they broke it down on ESPN.
37:4082 games would pay a guy like Mike Trout, who's making $36 million as a base salary.
37:4582 games would pay him $5.6 million of the $36 million he was going to make.
37:52That's 82 games, $5.6 million.
37:53If they went 50 games, he'd make $11.1 million.
38:01So he gets paid less to play more.
38:04Am I doing that right?
38:06It sounds like it.
38:07I'm sorry, $5.6 for 82, $11.1 for 50.
38:10Now, again, the players are saying 114 games, that would pay Mike Trout $25.3 million.
38:18So $11 million less than originally he would make.
38:21So they're agreeing to being pro-rated.
38:22That's never been an issue.
38:23Yes.
38:23Now it's about how many games.
38:25The owners are saying if you want full pro-rated, full pro-rated, then you've got to play 50.
38:29If they do decide on anything, I think we're having an 82-game season.
38:35I totally agree.
38:35And the players are not going to get their full pro rate, but they're going to get something pretty damn near close to it.
38:42Let's get to Howard who has been holding for a while.
38:44Howard, what's on your mind, bud?
38:46Hey.
38:47Good morning, guys.
38:48Good morning.
38:48All right.
38:49Basketball.
38:50Okay, there's my comment for basketball.
38:51Baseball.
38:52Yep.
38:52And hockey.
38:53Got that, too.
38:55All right.
38:56NBA or NFL.
38:57Good.
38:57We're good to go.
38:58Now, let's get to something we never talked about.
39:01It's politics.
39:02Oh, God, no.
39:03Please, no.
39:03Oh, God.
39:05I'm in the Jamie camp, and I completely agree with them.
39:10We need to fix the system, and my mantra going forward is vote the incumbents out.
39:20No matter who they are, get them out and start again.
39:24That way, we can get term limits for everybody, because the problem is you got all these guys
39:30and gals that have been in there for 20, 30, who knows how many years, and that's not
39:37how George and everybody set this up 200 years ago.
39:41You were supposed to do your civic duty and get back into the public business again.
39:48You weren't supposed to be a career politician.
39:52Let me see.
39:53What else did I have here?
39:55Oh, racism.
39:56You guys really got me thinking yesterday, and the one thing that I'm going to do going
40:05forward is anybody who says anything that's racist, I will call them out and make sure
40:13everybody hears it, just to let the world know that, hey, this person's a racist, because
40:21we as a white society have basically, you know, when someone said something derogatory,
40:29we've turned our ear to it, and we've never said anything.
40:34At least I haven't.
40:35I shouldn't speak for everybody, but I think as a white society, we probably, most of us,
40:41have just ignored the person and just either never talked to them again or, you know, did
40:47nothing except for just that.
40:49I think we need to do a hell of a lot more.
40:51We can't just say, hey, I think Jamie and you guys all said it yesterday.
40:55We can't just say we're not a racist anymore.
40:58We got to take that extra, whatever, 5, 10, 15, 20 steps and say, yeah, not only am I not
41:06a racist, but that person is, and try to correct that person or that group of people, and then
41:14hopefully it'll make the world a better, you know, at least make the United States what
41:19we think it is, the greatest country in the world.
41:21That's all I got, guys.
41:22Have a great day.
41:23Thanks, Howard.
41:24Stay safe.
41:25You too, buddy.
41:26Appreciate it, man.
41:26That's well put.
41:289 o'clock hour brought to you by The Bagster.
41:30Dumpster in a bag at yours today.
41:31Home Depot and those for details, go to thebagster.com.
41:34Just to let people know, if you are scrolling on social media and maybe you're looking at
41:37Instagram or Instagram stories in case people don't know already, it seems like a lot of
41:41people already do, and I follow this as well.
41:44I believe they're, are they calling it Blackout Tuesday?
41:47I didn't know the name behind it.
41:48I just kind of joined the movement because I think discussion, openness, and frankly being
41:54anti-racist is very, very important to everybody right now, so I think it's a good movement
42:01to get behind.
42:02I don't know the formal name of it.
42:03Hashtag Blackout Tuesday.
42:04It's literally just posting a black screen.
42:07A black screen.
42:08And I put the caption on mine and said, no words needed.
42:11Yep.
42:11Absolutely.
42:12We're all equal, you creeps.
42:15Racist creeps.
42:16That doesn't, the creep part doesn't help.
42:18Well, the racist creeps, sorry.
42:19Now it's fair to clarify.
42:20Okay.
42:20Okay.
42:21It wasn't computing.
42:22See, he racist creeps.
42:23See, he put Alpo on his crotch.
42:24And it's hilarious.
42:25I still don't get that.
42:26It just looks fun.
42:27Never mind.
42:28I think he, never mind.
42:30No, by all, no.
42:31No, you don't want me to get down that road.
42:33Off the air.
42:34Off the air.
42:34No, there's no dub.
42:36The show's ending.
42:36In real life.
42:37I'll tell you.
42:38Real quick, we didn't do a Twitter poll, but if we did, it's brought to
42:40a window nation, take advantage of a window nation's sale right now, where
42:43they're up to 50% off any style window, whether it's one window or the
42:46whole house.
42:47Also, 24 months, no down payments.
42:48Call 1-866-90-NATION or visit windownation.com.
42:51Pat Egan, what's your takeaway of the day?
42:53You know, I had a lot of respect for what you did today, but then you said that you
42:56didn't know what caribou was.
42:58All right, you jerk.
42:58I knew that was coming.
42:59You just lost everything to me.
43:01Every good thing you did was undone when you said you didn't.
43:05Because I don't know my wild animals?
43:07It's just appalling.
43:09I thought it was a reindeer.
43:11Jamie Lynch?
43:11Basically the same thing.
43:12My takeaway of the day is I'm very proud of our listeners.
43:16The discussion we've had the past two days, I think, are critical, important ones, especially
43:21coming from, frankly, four Caucasian men that don't know what it's like to be going through
43:27what a lot of people are going through right now.
43:29But we're trying to find the empathy to put ourselves in other shoes and make a real
43:33difference and a real change in this country.
43:36So I just want to say I'm very proud of the show, of the contributions from listeners,
43:41from callers, from all of it.
43:43Let's keep it going.
43:44This isn't something to just have a 48-hour splash and then move on with your lives.
43:49This is something we all need to change.
43:50So I'm very thankful for this platform, this medium.
43:54I love this city.
43:55I love the people that listen to us and interact with us.
43:58And I just feel an immense sense of pride after these past 48 hours.
44:02And Mark, your caribou knowledge sucks!
44:04Okay, what's with the hot takes on my caribou stuff?
44:07Bob Cooley.
44:08Ditto, Jamie, except for the caribou stuff.
44:10And everybody out there, just stay safe, stay sane, and learn something about somebody
44:15you think you may be going against.
44:17And maybe it'll help us move forward.
44:19Absolutely.
44:19My thanks to our listeners, callers, tweeters, Twitch commenters, everyone today.
44:23Look forward to talking to you guys again tomorrow.
44:25Once again, stay tuned for the Anthony Gargano Show here on 975 The Fanatic.
44:29I love you, Philadelphia.
44:30Fanatic Sports Update.
44:35Trying to take a stand.
44:36I'm Pat Egan.
44:37This sports update is brought to you by Martin Law, the law firm for injured workers.
44:40Visit PAWorkInjury.com.
44:42Baseball's attempt to hit the field continues as ESPN's Jeff Passan is reporting that Major
44:46League Baseball intends to propose a shorter season in which they would pay players a full
44:50prorated share of their salaries.
44:53Potential season would be around 50 games with the aim to return in July.
44:56Major League Baseball will continue to discuss alternatives to this with the players, but
45:00they believe that their original March agreement with them allows them to mandate a shorter
45:04season, and they're prepared to use that option in the absence of a deal with the Players
45:08Association.
45:09In more negative baseball news, and this one involves the local team, according to Jim
45:13Salisbury, the Phillies have informed employees that the team will institute pay cuts.
45:17While salaries have been cut for the time being, the Phillies have vowed to not cut jobs or benefits
45:21through October.
45:22More local athletes have gone to social media to take a stand against racial inequality.
45:27The Sixers' Ben Simmons tweeted, no more excuses, don't turn your back on racism, while
45:31Eagles center Jason Kelsey took to Instagram and posted a message denouncing systematic racism
45:36in our society.
45:37If you'd like some good news, we are 100 days away from the start of the NFL season.
45:41For breaking news on the current sports shutdown and more, keep it on 97.5 The Fanatic.
45:45I'm Pat Egan for 97.5 The Fanatic.
45:47It's Farzetta in the Morning with Bob Cooney and Jamie Lynch on 97.5 The Fanatic.
