bright side I get to leave Wednesday Christmas Eve at noon nice that's always
awesome yeah I've got
I've got to go to work too many days, but we're going to make it.
We're going to make it.
We're going to hit holiday break and go do things and places that we can't mention unspeakable things, actually.
Not because they're like evil, just because we can't talk about it.
Yeah, we, we, yeah, we're a very, we're very, uh, op-sec-focused podcast.
Yeah.
We've always happened.
I buy that.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, so let's see, you know, did you hear the news about the, the Philly Fanatic in the Epstein files?
What?
Yeah, you know, the pictures are going around.
Oh, that's in poor taste.
Oh, yeah.
That's okay.
I mean, the fanatic wouldn't do that.
No.
Mr. Matt, one, though.
Mr. Met, absolutely.
No, blooper.
Blueprint is a pedophile.
Yeah, we could say that without any
The character is not the person portraying, portraying him.
Yeah.
The fictional character.
Oh, my God.
If you want to talk about, if you want to know about mascots and their sexual things,
go listen to our bonus we did with,
Audrey and Tobag.
Rodano, yeah.
Yeah, with fuckable mascots.
I feel like that needs a sequel.
We can do that at some point, yeah.
We can do that.
Like, like lesser known fuckable mascots.
Lesser known fuckable mascots is a hell of a sentence there, bud.
Yeah, yeah.
Nah, that's still one of the,
Tops is one of the funniest things we've ever recorded.
I agree with that.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Oh, poor, what is it, Mrs. Redleg?
Yeah, oh, she's...
Oh, her, uh, suicide girl days.
Following her neo-Nazi days.
It still makes me laugh when I think about it.

Yeah, we could do Tuesday.
I could think of some dumb bullshit we could do it together.
We could shoehorn it in.
Yeah.
It doesn't have to be a movie or anything like that.
I'll think of something.
All right.
So, yeah, we're very high energy to do.

it's been bumping
I should have said

pumping instead
pumping
pumping
oh it's pumping too
pumping
yeah
it's humping
um
so
it is
you want to talk about the birds
in the pathetic
uh
E L
G
The second half was better than the first.
First half, you were like ready to kill ourselves.
Everybody.
I was thinking more Jake Elliott.
Does anyone look sad?
Missy Elliott.
Does anyone look?
I just got that.
Does anyone look sadder or more lost than Jake when he misses a field goal?
Mm-mm.
That face is so funny.
were like baffled.
Yeah,
it's like he shit his pants.
Like,
it's like,
ooh.
Yeah.
That's not this hot brown coming out of here.
Yeah.
Well,
I mean,
how many field goals has he missed this year?
I do think Jake Elliott is,
we've said this before.
Let's see,
2025 missed field goals.
Last nine games,
he's missed seven field goal attempts.
They should cut him.
I, yeah, I think he's at the, at the, I mean, he's had a good career.
You know, yeah, I think, I think you got a.
Lane Johnson and Jalen Carter are coming back.
Yeah.
Brandon Grimm got a sack, which proves that 37-year-olds can still be athletes.
So I could play in the NFL, really, if you think about it.
Is that right?
Is that right?
absolutely. Me and Brandon Graham
basically have the same. Same guy,
yeah. I've never seen you
and Brandon Graham at the same place in the same time.
We look very similar.
Actually, that's
why I'm going to country redacted
is to get all the shoe polish.
Oh, God.
Oh, all right, that gets a
Oh, I'm at this one.
It's a Comtown Rift for being offensive.
Congratulations.
Thanks.
I mean, good company.
Yeah, now, we won.
Seacon had said, there were some bright spots
the second half, but yeah, we really thought
we were going to lose to the commanders.
To Marcus Marriota.
Then Marcus Marriota's backup, who I forget his name.
Josh Johnson.
Josh Johnson, who has been in the lead.
Like 18 years, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, he's like 106.
he's been around forever
but
he's just five kicks
in the past five games
he's been all over the place
from long distance
one for seven on kicks
last year
from 50 plus yards
and also had a low 77.8 field goal
percentage they need to
you need to cut him
and then kill him
yeah
yeah you can
you can get rid of him
man I'm looking at
It turns like they shouldn't cut him
And I'm like they should they should probably cut him
They should probably maybe not now
But like at the end of the year
Get rid of him
Oh
Yeah
It's it's
The news journal
The kicker the kicker sorry
Well the Eagles bring in kicker as Jake Elliott
Misses field goals
Oh Jake
Inside the Eagles
Whatever this dumb ass website is
From fan side
it during the first half
hold on wait
Jake Elliott's awful post
game quote won't sit well with Eagles fans
and what was that quote
no honestly not at all that's
kind of what's frustrating about it is I don't feel
that way at all mental
I kind of wish it was mental
easier fix so it's physical
because you're declining
yeah
yeah yeah
but at least the Eagles clenched to the vision
so that's nice
you think
I'm not even thinking
NFC championship game
I think that we're very lucky
if we get to the game
I think so too
and they're going to spite us
and fucking watch
win the Super Bowl again
the worst Super Bowl
I'd love it
if they won the Super Bowl
but in the worst possible way
yeah
yeah
just fumbling it
like a 107 like
yeah oh yes
10 7
um
like all just turnovers
the Patriots
beating the Rams
that Super Bowl a few years ago.
Oh, that was the most boring
second most boring Super Bowl
after the last year's Super Bowl.
If you like toilet bowls, that's the one for you.
Yeah. Yeah, no,
it's very, very boring.
We love boring football, don't we, folks?
And then you must be happy to because we'll miss one.
They did?
Yeah, 401 to 10.
Suck it Tulane.
And, yeah, all the, all the powerful teams.
Although JM, JMU hung in it
for a little
well they tried to come back
they tried to come back
it was 51 to 34 against Oregon
they almost put up a fight
they did kind of put up a fight
they looked like it was all but over
then they got some life in them
but yeah
and
that was like
definitely hoping for Jamie to beat Oregon
just I was too
just out of
obviously spite
yeah
there's a
there's a new lefty kicker in the NFL
for the giant
Oh, is there?
Yeah, he went to
Pitt, apparently.
Oh, he'll be able to pit.
Yeah, the, uh, let's see.
Did you see the Flyers hot mic thing?
I want you to blow me while you're down there?
Yeah, while you're down there, would you find blowing me?
I think we're still in the air, and they suspended him for two games, which is so fucking funny.
Yeah, if you fired someone over that, that's dumb as shit.
Yeah.
That's so stupid.
That is very funny.
The Flyers are actually decent.
they're 1710-7 right now
so that's pretty good
no thoughts on that
so that again I was reading the comments
oh I said the flyers are actually pretty good this year
17-10-7
the flyers are pretty good they also lost to the Rangers
like 5-4 after giving up a 4-2 lead
the other day so
maybe we should unsuspend the guys
we'll see
yeah we'll see
yeah
yeah we really don't
I mean, we normally don't talk much about the flowers.
We haven't really even talk much about the Sixers this year at all either.
I just, I mean, I've been burned.
I mean, and they're 16, 11, like, they're fine.
They're fine.
Edgecombe's good.
Edgecombe is a revelation.
I mean, obviously Tyre's Max is going to be dead by the end of the playoffs
by the time the playoffs come around because they're playing him 38 minutes a night.
Yeah.
That's what you want to do too, especially when you have a bunch of guys who are injured.
Yeah.
Constantly.
Um,
I just the sixers are now just like a make work program for old injured guys
Andre drummond and friends yeah
yeah just yeah you guys have a knee between the three of you's
just one now just one just one yeah we trade yeah uh the uh the the the sixers
did roll out a new closing unit which was Tyreus maxi Jared McCain VJ
edge coach of Barney Walker and Adem Bona
had never shared the
floor together for the
111-11 mark
of the third quarter as soon as the final
they turned it on so they
Jared McCain's
plus minus
on Saturday
was plus 29. Oh
I mean okay
yeah I think that
yeah the sixers are
we'll see I mean I don't
we don't really give a shit
no it's a shame because like I really was I've always been the Sixers fan and like was very I mean I have jerseys of shit from like when I was a fan and I still am a fan but like I just I don't know they the last couple years just fucking killed my interest in it and I'm sure it'll come back again but yeah yeah and not even them it's not even them just being bad being bad sucks.
but it's just like you're not putting anything interesting i mean maxi now is maxi's very fun to watch
i was going like i said like these some of the younger guys are fun fun the watch but um yeah
oh well let's talk about you want to talk about the fillies we got some more moves
yeah so did we talk about adults gersia no no so uh we did we did talk about them resigning um
Kyle Schwerver last last
episode. Yes, it did. Yes, and dead.
So, actually, since then, we've had a couple
moves signing Alfeodor O'Dolz-Garcia,
a lead of the Texas Rangers.
Is he good?
He was very good
in, like,
the first couple years of his career.
He had a comeback year last year.
2024, he stunk.
Yeah.
And he was okay.
Sort of hoping for a bounce back, yeah.
He's bad, yeah.
And he already bounced back.
He can't be any worse.
He's better defensively than Nick.
He's faster than Nick.
Oh, well, I mean, you and I also.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, we haven't seen me on the base pass since the calf injury.
That's true.
At least I know I can run now.
I haven't tried sprinting yet, though.
That's the thing.
I got to do that.
I'll do that on treadmill first.
Try sprinting a little bit.
But, yeah.
I'm not a fast man
No
No you are not
I do have range though
I haven't I haven't described
They're like yeah you're not fast
But for some reason you have range
I don't know
I guess I track balls as well
What does that mean?
Oh okay
I can get to the ball pretty quick
Yeah
If I if I keep the ball in front of me
Like I actually will play a little deeper
In the outfield sometimes
Just I could see the ball well
Like
Especially if it's coming right at me
Which can be like really tricky
Like I'm okay
I'm okay
I remember I got breaking my new glove
just in case
The team comes back
Oh god no
You treat it with love
You got loop it over with the car
You got loop up that
Louver up
Oh yeah
Pounder with a
With mallet
All that kind of good stuff
Yeah so Adolus
Anyway
Adoles Garcia is back
Not back
he's coming to the to the to the not the birds no the Phillies bud to the Phillies for a one year
show me contract it's it kind of sucks we're not getting kepler back you're not kepler um
bater oh it's shame it doesn't it doesn't look like it no i i don brasky's kind of said that the
outfield set this point a line up said i did see that yeah and they're hoping for crawford to play
um out of out of camp um
maybe Aiden Miller coming up at some point.
You could see maybe Aiden Miller coming up,
maybe a bench guy for a little bit,
see, because you could slide in like basically anywhere in the infield.
He can play second or third or he's a short stop naturally,
but you can you can do that.
So and yes,
they want Crawford in the center.
It looks like if everything goes to plan,
which, you know, nothing ever
bad ever happens in spring training.
No, famous.
Famously.
Famously.
So we also, we signed Brad Keller.
Uh,
uh,
he's a,
he's a reliever.
Um,
pull up his baseball reference.
Uh,
yeah,
uh,
he played for the royals.
Then he played,
uh,
for,
uh,
white socks for,
Red Sox
And then the Cubs last year
And he's a writer-reliever
He had a good
2025
Yeah, exactly
So
Um
Used to,
yeah,
he's a reliever now
He used to be a starter a couple years ago.
Oh, okay.
Well,
now he's,
now he's putured.
Well,
we need right-handed,
we need some right-handed guys.
And then
speaking of right-handed guys,
we traded our lefty,
our lefty psycho
on lefty.
Our lefty ass eating.
Yeah.
Yeah, he eats ass, apparently.
So he's braver than me.
Who amongst us?
Yeah, never.
Put a gun to my head.
I'll never do.
Oh, okay.
Sorry.
I'm not into that.
Real mad about it, apparently, tell you.
Yeah.
Poop comes from there, Liam.
Oh, I don't care.
Just getting down to the slop.
Yeah.
Yes, sir.
So, Bowlin, another royal or ex-royal, but this was a straight-up trade.
Actually, Matt Strom used to be on the Royals, too.
Wow.
So, yeah, so another right-handed bullpen guy.
I guess we have too many lefties.
I like Strom a lot.
It's a shame.
I like a guy with, like, that intensity.
He definitely, I think he rubbed.
Donvo the wrong way.
By eating ass or?
Well, he ate ass too much and it made him jealous.
No.
He went, all right, so when we lost that game to the Dodgers.
Yes.
In extras.
Yes.
With the MIFth throw.
Yes.
From Orion.
Yes.
Later on, apparently like Matt Strom had said,
well, the pitcher's,
don't do fielding practice.
And Debrowski said, actually, we do.
Matt just doesn't participate.
Oh.
Yeah.
So I think he pissed off Debrowski's by saying that.
Oh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So.
Oh.
I mean, last year was a down year for him,
but he's been consistently a very good reliever.
I mean,
2024 he was an all-star
ERA plus of 225
which means he's like 125%
better than
we'll see
yeah
but yeah
than the baseline guy
and yeah I mean he had a dip last year
but he was still a very good reliever
right
it's a shame
Bolin is not
the same caliber
of reliever
oh okay that's great
Yeah, it was a salary dumb.
Great.
Yeah, because Bowens only has three years.
That's what I want to say.
He's under team control.
He's under team control.
That's what I want to see.
And my understanding is this is sort of making financial moves
so that we can clear JT and not go into the next threshold of luxury tax.
Wow.
Yeah.
We don't want to be like the Dodgers who are basically paying the equivalent of their salary also as luxury tax.
Um, but they have so much money.
They have so much money they could spend it.
They have so much money.
I guess, uh, Middleton doesn't, money bags, Middleton doesn't have enough.
Apparently not.
Um, which is frustrating to me.
Charging $15 a beer.
It's, it's the highway robbery, man.
Yeah.
It really is.
I can't wait for them to try and like ban what they're going to ban next.
Our precious spaghetti and bags.
What's next?
You don't ever take my spaghetti in bags.
No.
I'm going to smuggle that shit in my pants.
It's literally
It's going to be spaghetti stories
But actually real
Spaghetti just keeps filling in my pockets
Let's
We're almost there
Well actually we're not
We're only 24 minutes in
Oh no we're good
No we're good I wasn't I wasn't I was just saying like
I was just kind of yawning honestly
I'm good
Okay
Was it sure
But yeah so
That's that's your Philly
news for now
probably
mostly set
outside of
resigning
JT
we'll see
what happens
I don't think
it's going to be
too many
big additions
no
yeah
college football
playoff
we mentioned that
a little bit
but we're looking at
the quarterfinals
Oregon Texas Tech
that'll be a good
that'll be a good game
Oregon Texas Tech
High shooting offenses
That'll be fun
Bama Indiana
I'm praying for Indiana there
Me too
Ole Miss Georgia
Rune for Georgia
Fuck you
Rune for Ole Miss there
Thank you
I thought you didn't ruin for team
South of the Mason Dixon line
They're both South of Mason Dixon line
So which one is least
Is less annoying
And they're both annoying
And then Miami
Ohio State, definitely
room for Miami over Ohio State.
Yeah, absolutely.
Texas Tech, Oregon, who would you rather say there?
Texas Tech.
I just kind of like them.
Yeah, it should be interesting.
But these are all
coming up, what?
The Ducks, 509 yards.
70 to 72 final score.
The Dukes, the Dukes,
scored 34 yeah yeah it's lost by 17 yeah i did not watch the at miami a and m game but that was 10 to 3
it was 10 to 3 yeah abysmal um i'm farting real bad oh stop picking up that's that's good yeah
all right let's see we close our uh we don't have much in the in the way of listener messages today
Um, we got two, two DMs.
I'm really excited for, uh, I am really excited for, uh, for, uh, fucking Jesus.
Oregon, uh, for fucking, you're gonna, Oregon, Texas tech, Oregon, Texas tech where it's just like,
NIL money, nothing else. Let's go.
Yeah, that's, that's how we're doing.
Oh, we didn't, you know what we didn't talk about?
Well, going back to the Eagles.
We didn't talk about the, the, the brawl.
The brawl.
because we went for two
and apparently that hurt
Day Quinn's feelings.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sequin scores on a two-point conversion
and then
Oscar Steen
subscribe and someone said something
we just don't know what to work.
Tyler Steen.
Tyler Steen,
did I say Oscar Steen?
That's funny.
Yeah, you did.
And then Washington's
Kwan Martin and Javon Kinlaw.
Yep.
Yeah.
And they were all sort of
big, big pile there
of handsome strong men.
Massum dudes.
There was a lineman, offensive linemen on the commanders who had, who must have the biggest ass.
Like he has a fucking dump truck.
I'm sure that he does.
Like, like, and offensive linemen are known for their massive bodies.
Dumb trucks.
Yeah, but this was a dump truck among dump trucks.
Oh, I have the Fox News Sports.
Fox News.com article about the fight.
Let's look at the comments, Liam.
Let's not do that.
Semper Paradis 654, so at Kosti.
Why do receivers who are making 8 plus million cheer when they catch a pass?
Why do the fences line and someone are making $15 plus to sack a quarterback,
make one, and they act like they're the incarnation of Superman?
And then the Force 101.
It's exciting.
Yeah.
The Force 101 replies.
It's called the ESPN highlight generation.
Who wins or loses doesn't matter.
The only thing that matters if you're on SportsCenter that night.
Yeah, because everyone's on SportsCenter now.
I know this is Old Manitis.
It doesn't make any less true.
And then what the fork also replies,
don't try to explain football thug mentality.
Oh, there it is.
Yeah.
Let's see.
Let's see some of the good ones.
I am a butcher 7-7443 says,
I am 81 years old.
Nine L can remember when athletes were considered role models for our youth,
and believe it or not, so we're politicians.
Boy, has that idea go down the drain.
Rocky Winkle, 879 replies, NFL players in the 1950s and 1960s.
I don't remember all the ridiculous lie dancing in the Ed Zone
and all the dancing theatrics after making a tackle or catch.
It's so prevalent today.
It's utterly ridiculous.
Vinceumbardi is turning in his grave.

There are no fights in hockey famous.
Yeah, white guys don't fight in any sports.
Definitely never fight.
Nope.
No.
Wait, hold.
Isn't Tyler Steen White?
No, he's black.
Is he black?
I'm pretty sure.
Oh, yes.
But there's also white guys in the NFL, and they were also involved in the fight.
They also do that.
I've seen like Johnson fight.
Um
6, 6. Jesus.
Drew the Troat
Joe, wow, Joe the Truthster.
After the Kaepernick disaster, we stopped watching the NFL.
Okay, that's great.

articles, the Rhodesian government actively
recruited white personnel from other countries.
Wow. I love the world
we live in. I don't.
Would you like to go into DMs?
Sure.
All right, we have a long one. I'll read the long
one this time. Good for you. Good job.
I can read.
This is a, this is
Hey Tom, Yee, Liam, Claire, Sheeher with a late cricket update.
I felt pretty bad for England after this.
one is a hundred twenty three nice burp is a hundred
twenty three a lot of runs a batter scoring hundred runs typically gets us well she
answers it for us it's a rhetorical question thank you oh fuck you a batter
scoring hundred runs typically gets a standing ovation from the crowd the second
test a recent innovation in test cricket is the day night game which starts in
the afternoon and plays well past sunset yeah we've event we've had that since like the
20s, but when was the first night
game? First. Just baseball.
Yeah.
1935
with the reds beating the Phillies.
Fucking suck, dude.
10,000 losses, man.
10,000 losses, man.
The main issue of playing at night
used to be seeing the dark red cricket ball.
To improve this, bright pink balls were introduced
in 2015. These pink balls are made by the same
manufacturers to the same specifications as normal red cricket balls except for the die.
Obviously, everyone involved in the sport claims these balls behave differently from red balls,
and I have seen no credible evidence for why.
Red goes faster, I think.
It's the only thing I can think of is.
England won the coin.
England won the coin.
England won the coin toss again, but had an inauspicious start.
Duckett was dismissed for a golden duck out on his first ball, no runs.
okay yeah sure
they eventually found some footing
and managed 334 runs in the first innings
a normally respectable score
unfortunately for them
Australia then spent a day and a half
racking up 511 runs
as England missed
missed five catches
they finally put a stop to it
only to start batting again at the worst time of day
and probably lost six wickets
for only 134 runs at the end of day
highlight in the span of about a half an hour six umpire calls are challenged and three overturned a replay review so their umps suck too i guess it's universal they got up to two hundred and forty one runs by the middle of the day four but lost their last wicket with only that 65 run lead austray closed it out after t winning again by eight wickets that is england needed to dismiss eight more batters when australia beat their score and end of the game hopefully my
next report will be more timely.
Fuck England.
Fuck Penn State.
Fuck ice.
Fuck the guys who shut up.
Bondi Beach.
Agreed.
Co-signed all that.
Fuck all the mass shooters.
You have to have a run of like horrible
tragedies.
It really kind of sucks lately.
We sure have and it's been miserable.
Yeah. I do appreciate Claire the
cricket updates.
the sport that so similar to baseball
I guess shares origins of baseball
but still alludes me
I don't understand it
yeah I remember trying to watch a video
and I just got confused but I also could have just been like
drunk or high
yeah
I still like there are there are a few
games that the rules
just don't make any sense to you
Yeah, video games too
I've been having a hard time with Victoria 3
In Europa Universe House 5
They're just so opaque the rules
All right

Yeah.
So I'd say New Mexico, Maryland and California are like the top three flags.
And yeah, it's fucking sick.
If you don't know what the New Mexico flag looks like, go look it up.
It does look sick.
Yeah, it's badass.
Where are we?
Let me close that.
I started thinking about flags.
Sorry, I think about categorizing things, and I got excited.
You see the Twitchel flag?
What's it called?
The Twitchel flag.
No, let me see.
It says New Mexico.
Yeah.
It looks like it's going fast.
Oh, that's a horrible flag.

You shouldn't have your name on it
You don't need to have your name on the flag
Pennsylvania flag sucks
It's a real bad one
Yeah
It's just blue with the state seal on it
That's like half of the fucking flags
Virtue liberty and independence
Yeah
That looks like shit
It's got the two horses
Actually you know what
If you want to have like a seal, though,
I think you need to take one of the horses and put the GG1 on it.
That would rule.
Yeah,
have a GG1 and then have like a canal boat.
I'd like that.
Yeah,
to like represent,
um,
like our industry and shit like that.
Yeah,
I'd be fucking sick.
Let's get,
uh,
what's,
what's the industrial designer that did the GG1?
Get him to make the,
uh,
resurrect him from the dead.
Need to make the Pennsylvania flag.
James,
what you talk about?
the guy who designed the GG1
Raymond Lorry
Yeah Lory yeah
And there was an L in the name
Resurrection him from the dead
And have him redesign our flag
Easy easy easy of course
Yeah yeah
Maroon is such a fucking awesome color
Just thinking now
Just like Pennsylvania Railroad colors
If you were to change Pennsylvania's colors
On the flag
That would also be cool too
every state's got blue ever say yeah i the utop flag is terrible
hmm now it's a beehive for some reason oh all right hold on let me

The 1893 flag
Arkansas is way too Confederate
Oh yeah

Because Alabama's just as the
the salt air. It's like the Spanish
Salterre. Yes.
They adopted it
195 years ago, so no.
They haven't changed in a while.
130 years ago.
The session convention flag.

The coat of arms

It has
the flared
Lee of France.
It has
Spain.
So it has
quartered
and then some quartered
on it,
which is like
the old flag
of Spain,
the,
um,
Castile and Leon flag.
And then it has the Confederates
in the bottom right,
the British in the bottom left.
And then it has like the Washington like coat of arms in the middle.
That looks like shit.
Thank you,
Alabama.
Aldemus Defenderre
Juranosra.
Audaciously like bravely,

Alabama's state motto now

wasn't this the flag
of like Ireland

the St. Andrew's cross
I swear
like under the
under the
this was a flag independent now and forever
an arch above all
oh my God
oh my God I
I yeah
St. Patrick's flag
yeah it's the same flag
as the St. Patrick's flag
was the
it was used
I like the North Carolina flag
just because it's kind of goofy
the North Carolina one
I don't let me pull up
yeah it's like a ripoff
Texas
Puerto Rico's flag is great
true
Rhode Islands is Rhode Island's one I'm thinking of it
with just a hope
Yeah
That's a nice positive one
The the Wyoming flag is cool
With the Buffalo
I like that
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh yeah so the St. Patrick
Salterre which was used
During like
Ireland under the English
was also
eventually merged into the blue
shirts. So like the early Finnegal flag
the blue shirts, if you don't know where the Irish
fascist, those who don't know, we're the Irish fascist
movement.
And
yeah, a lot of them
went on to be like
Francoists.
And that's where Finnegeal comes from.
So, yeah.
We like to say
fuck those guys.
Who is the real big shit?
head behind that was that Ian Duffy
Owen Duffy? Oh, and Duffy. Yeah,
fuck that guy. Oh, no, Duffy, yeah. Oh, no, Duffy. Fuck that guy.
Not controversial.
Anti-communist dickhead.
So, I don't know how we got to that
from, from, well, I guess we're talking about flags.
So,
so, yeah, there's the, I'm looking at a substack that has
the tier, the tier ranking, this guy's
substack page has,
South Carolina, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Alaska is the top five.
I think you got to put Maryland in your top tier.
I think you do.
Yeah.
Oh, look, and here's an Oklahoma without the name.
How much better it looks?
What I look?
Oh, it didn't, did it not go through?
No, it's not found.
It says.
All right, hold on.
Let me pull.
Oh, my God.
Can you just link me to this?
fucking thing.
Here.
Wait.
Where was it?
I just had it.
Actually, they had, this was
their previous flag.
1925,
1941.
Yeah,
without the words.
That's so much better
without the words.
I think it's a little busy.
I think maybe you stylize it a little more,
the piece pipe and the drum,
