The Paulie and Tony Fusco Show Wins ‘Best Sports Comedy’ Podcast Award for Second Year in a Row

February 4, 2025

FOX Sports Radio’s The Paulie and Tony Fusco Show was named the ‘Best Sports Comedy’ podcast for the second year in a row.

“We told those fools that this show is NOT a comedy and yet they gave us this award again,” said Paulie and Tony Fusco in a joint statement. “But since we work in the podcast industry and have what some might call a ‘limited marketing budget,’ we will accept any form of free promotion.”

“Wait, these guys still have a show?” joked Scott Shapiro, FOX Sports Radio Senior Vice President of Sports Programming. “I told our engineers to turn off the feed months ago thinking no one would notice. Let’s just say this is the last time these clowns win an award.” - Barrett Sports Media, FOX Sports Radio, Premier Networks

Shawne Merriman Describes The Unique Squeal Tom Brady Makes When He Gets Hit

October 28, 2022

Shawne Merriman was a guest this week on The Paulie and Tony Fusco Show, a podcast where the two hosts are playing (fake) stereotypical Eagles/Philly fans who claim to know everything about sports but simultaneously have the worst takes ever. Unsurprisingly, this premise works perfectly for a podcast. They’ve already had guests like Nick Swisher, Chris Broussard, Eric Mangini, and now they’ve got Shawne Merriman on the most recent episode talking about Tom Brady.

Around the 13:30 mark, they ask Shawne Merriman who the one NFL player is that he’d most love a completely open shot at and Merriman says it’s Brady without a doubt. He then goes on to describe how Tom Brady makes a unique squeal when he gets hit, a noise unlike any other players, and he gives you a blind stare that says ‘I’m Tom Brady and you weren’t supposed to sack me’. - Brobible
