J.D. Vance.
I mean, this is where we need sort of to go to a sort of invader's style of nominating candidates.
You just the biggest and tallest guy is in charge because that seems to have worked really good here.
And Illinois.
Yes. because that seems to have worked really good here and Illinois yes well when you said invader zim style I thought we're going to get
like preteens

yes they do
preteens unfortunately still exist god Do preteens still exist? Yes, they do. Wow. Preteens, unfortunately, still exist.

Because I have to teach them.
I keep getting older and they stay the same age.
Okay, that's...
Stop, stop.
Notice the distinct difference between my voice and Roz's voice.
Yeah, yeah.
My voice is soft, friendly and doesn't say things like that.
Yeah, we got a little blue here.
This is like after hours.
Yeah.

At night.
Oh, man.

Welcome to the episode of 10,000 Losses,
the only Philadelphia sports podcast

Ah, fucking terrible podcast.

there's your problem podcast podcast about engineering disasters with slides we're trying
to give you the the 10k i'll bump you know it's a scrappy little podcast yes um you know uh trying
trying to help help you guys out a little bit. Grow the game. You know.
I appreciate that.
Well,
when the Skull sponsorship
fell through, I knew you guys needed a little extra help.
I don't know.
Only cops choose Skull, dude.
I have never
dipped in my life.
You make me sad.
Now, you might be proud of me. You make me sad. I did smoke.
Now, you might be proud of me.
When I smoked cigarettes, I only smoked on filters.
I was in Fishtown the other night, because I'm a moron, and I was meeting up with Corinne.
There were a few people smoking cigarettes, and like a cartoon where my nose is drawn to the pie.
I smelled someone smoking a Marlboro Red.
My head turned like the exorcist.
I was just like, give it to Liam.
Oh, see, I'm like that with Lucky Strikes like that.
They won the war, man.
I know.
Well, they won.
They won the war for the Steve, the Steve Adores who stole them out of the packages.
Then let the guys over the frontvedores who stole all of them out of the packages. That's about to say.
Yeah, let the guys over the front smoke Pell Mells or whatever.
Back in college when I smoked more than I do now, which is to say I smoked one cigarette a month as opposed to now, which is one cigarette a year.
I was like the Lucky Strikes.
They're toasted.
I will say,
cigarettes don't really do it for anyone. Lucky Strikes
will smell nice, but someone
smoking a pipe, man, that's
the lifting of the nose.
Oh, yeah.
I was in Atlantic City and some guy was smoking a pipe, and I was like,
mm-hmm.
Isn't the Lucky Strike it's toasted
slogan just referring to the
normal way you make cigarettes
yes
it's like Coors saying it's cold
lagered
or triple hops brewed
yeah most breweries
throw hops in three different times
there we go.
Yeah.
Was that one cigarette a year last night?
Oh, no.
Yeah, exactly.
They viewed the slogan
in 1917 because they
don't sun dry it. They toast it.
Everyone else
sun dries it. Interesting.
That is interesting.
Well, you know, this channel this feet feed rss feed started out with snooze talk so i feel like we're kind of going back to
going back to to basics on there um we only talk about tobacco on this show no yeah i mean yeah
honestly um yeah uh tobacco and men's asses.
Raymond Lowy designed the Lucky Strike pack?
Yes.
Who's that guy?
Should I know who that is?
Yes, he designed the GG-1, Tom.
That's a sexy vehicle.
Also, several other.
He designed the Air Force One paint scheme.
He designed.
What else?
He did quite a number of things.
A lot of cool stuff.
Student maker, Avanti.
Interior of the
NS Savannah, I want to say.
Maybe I got that one wrong.
A bunch of Coca-Cola vending machines,
I think. Did some NASA stuff, right?
Didn't he help
design Skylab?
Skylab, yes. Skylab is what i was thinking of not the ns sky lab
yeah really did he design the fucking the shitty uh solar panels they fucked up
he was the one who he was the one who insisted on having a window
well i like that the original sky Skylab version was going to be the wet lab where they would have filled the Saturn IV.
Yep, the sloping it up in space.
It would have been filled with liquid hydrogen and all of the furniture would have had to be able to withstand the liquid hydrogen pressure and temperature and then once they burned all the propellant out of the
saturn the s4 stage they would have then um purged it like purged the atmosphere that sealed it back up and uh they decided to go with the um i guess heavier version of no we're just gonna make we're
not gonna fill the living space full of hydrogen and test that shit up in space see how it works
yeah
I do like the
I don't know, what do you even call that
design by committee
it's just something that's wacky
you know
the Apollo applications
program, that's basically something
wacky, that's the
well this has been your space chat Apollo Applications Program. That's basically something wacky. That's the AAP.
Well, this has been your space chat.
An industrial design chat.
I guess.
We also did the interior
of the Air France Concorde.
You say France
and fathers wear.
Yes.
Shit. I have the notes open. bothers me yes uh uh
shit i have the notes open uh
you do i guess uh did
you do the the voicemail call
and shit no i didn't
uh
uh we're recording a bonus right after this
stop fucking stop fucking dming
me um
did they dm you and not me
yeah voicemail call 267-371-7218 please remember
to give us your name and your pronouns or we will sign them for you yeah patreon uh patreon.com
slash 10 000 losses you will find ross's bonus episode and some other pretty good ones yes uh let's talk about uh our beleaguered city uh yes first city to lose two
championships in a day isn't that isn't that just that's very philly that's keeping with tradition
yeah uh i didn't put two major championships because i'm not sure how much the MLS championship is major. Four plus one. I'm not calling it
the big five. It's not minor.
It's
mid-league soccer.
Mid-league.
Yeah, so we lost
the MLS Cup
in extras. No, wait.
Not in extras.
It was
lost to the PKs. We watched it. Yes, we did. All three of us watched it. We were in the uh it was up it was uh yeah it was it was uh it was the case we watched yes yes we did all
three of us watched it we were in the same room we were in the same room this is true uh and so
now you don't have to damn stupid way for a game to end yeah stupid way to decide a champion i mean
i don't fucking watch soccer i think a penalty kick is cool but it's awfully close like they
were they were all up in each other yeah they were
exploring each other's bodies with some of those penalty kicks i feel like like you could just take
a random fin and there's a non-zero chance they would kick that goal right no i don't disagree
with that i i i bet they would not i mean i i don't know non--zero. Non-zero. Oh, man.
I'm just saying professional athletes are good at their job, usually.
See, you say that, but that's how you lose a 2-1 lead when you have an extra man.
This is true.
When they were on the power play.
The Pico power play yeah so uh yeah that that was that was disappointing i don't like
so those jerseys have a weird lightning bolt on it that that kind of i like that yeah yeah
lafc is super fashy uh oh there but they they were like you it was the Mujahideen there and everything.
Oh, yeah.
The Black Army or whatever.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That is very, I don't know what they're going for there, but that's, you know, that's the first thing.
My wife was the one who said that, so she could say it.
Like, okay, what are these people doing there?
Are they going to cut off some heads right after?
LAFC loses in penalty kick For each one they lose, they lose a head
I feel like this is
You know, your Philadelphia versus your LA
soccer fans would just turn into that episode of
what was that show on Spike TV?
The Ultimate Warrior?
The Ultimate Warrior.
The Ultimate Warrior, IRA versus Taliban.
Battle of the Balaclavas.
Oh, man.
That was...
There was a lot going on that day with sports.
I appreciate the
lack of advertisements they have
with
soccer, but
you know,
I don't know.
Liam, you're not a huge fan, but I thought it was kind of fun.
That's fine, dude.
It's, yeah, yeah i mean i don't
really i guess i i i can't like i like the world cup i guess and i i do like that they don't really
take breaks uh yeah so that the sport is like you're watching the sport do like that um my my
problem isn't actually with it's just like it's stuff
they can't really fix like I think the pitch is too big
you know what I mean like
but I was like I was entertained
I'm entertained by the
World Cup I'm entertained by like
the Euro
like final like
yeah I
I feel about it sort of I think
the same way I feel about
NASCAR versus F1 where NASCAR is wildly more entertaining, but F1 is a better television product.
Hmm.
Okay.
Yeah, I buy that.
Just because, like, F1 takes, like, a tidy hour 45.
Yeah.
NASCAR can go on for four and a half hours.
Yeah, you have to go to a NASCAR thing for that to be enjoyable.
Yeah, you have to actually physically go to the NASCAR track go on for four and a half hours. Yeah, you have to go to a NASCAR thing for that to be enjoyable. I don't let anyone watch that.
You have to physically go to the NASCAR track.
I will say, you should absolutely go see a NASCAR race.
It's a lot of fun.
Well, we should all go up next time there's one in Pocono or Delaware.
You want to talk about the Philz?
You've got to.
I was going to say something about, I forget.
What's the one in New York?
Watkins Glen.
Watkins Glen, yes.
Yeah, that was my first NASCAR race.
You want the synthesis here between NASCAR and F1?
You go up to Watkins Glen.
Yeah.
Yeah, man, I don't know.
It's fine.
That's my opinion on soccer, basically. It't know. It's fine. That's my opinion on soccer, basically.
It's fine.
It's fine.
I don't see what the Europeans see in it.
But then again, it's not the hegemonic sport here.
So I would understand if they did not enjoy something like baseball,
the greatest sport.
Yes.
Yeah, unless you root for the Philadelphia Phillies.
That's me trying Unless you root for the Philadelphia Phillies.
That's me trying to do a segue.
Who pisses shit in my mouth.
I think,
I mean,
I,
that's,
that is,
that is a segue.
Well,
the pisses shit in your mouth is also a segue too,
if you think about it.
But I think in Europe, it's because of the,
the close distances between teams.
There's definitely more.
I think that makes sense
like that's why like good the good rivalries like outside of like philly dallas like for like a lot
of the really good rivalries are like with cities that are fairly close by so they're close to each
other but they're close by by american standards so you have like boston new york and then like
boston montreal uh new york philadelphia all those you imagine how many shitty baseball parks that Boston, New York, and then Boston, Montreal, New York, Philadelphia,
all those. Can you imagine how many
shitty baseball parks that
a place like Paris could support, though?
I'm just the weirdest
spots you've seen in your
life. Paris
sounds your main
baseball grounds up against the side of the
Notre Dame.
There would be like 3, teams in germany alone uh there is there is a bundesliga baseball uh but um yeah yeah there's
a there there is a major league because you have we all we all know about hank ball hoof the class
yeah hank ball hood the class and the the uverones class class, I think is there like triple a, but, uh,
the Bundesliga, the French league,
the Spanish league are operate on like pro rel lines,
like a,
like a regular club.
And then the Italian one,
this,
the Syria or Syria is kind of more like American,
but,
uh,
yeah,
baseball,
um,
back to United States.
Uh,
so we also watched something after
the Union game that was also filled with sadness
and that was game
six of the World Series.
Yeah,
Houston Astros. They need to do
some work on this.
Oh,
I don't know. Why do you pull
Wheeler when he's dealing? Why do you
Yeah. Why do you, why does our when he's dealing? Why do you... Why does our
first baseman not have any legs or arms
or brain?
Why is it just a stick figure
incapable of playing defense?
He's a handsome one that...
Yeah, I get that he's handsome.
Yeah, okay, but here's the thing,
he can't play defense.
He's some kind of troll out there you
know that would probably improve our chances his drs was plus three to defensive run saved so like
he wasn't like awful this year during the season but he missed some like clutch yeah exactly that's
that's my thing and like i think you basically have to sort of go on that. Unfortunately,
it sucks,
but I think this is going to go the pulling the wheeler.
Like I,
I'm having a hard time.
Like I can kind of get the rationale.
It's like,
well, maybe I could save him for tomorrow.
Like,
yeah,
maybe,
but,
but you have to play every game.
Like it's an alien game.
You're in the world.
Yeah.
You do actually have to win the game.
It's the thing. Yeah. this is the one of the things people don't realize about sports is that
usually it's better to win than to lose it is better to win than doubly so in the world series
i i mean that's an insider info yeah that's this is some like real baseball head shit uh uh winning a game counts
more than losing and uh you know hey look we won the pennant which the braves and the mets didn't
so uh suck it uh but um i bought a pennant i have one but it's not the world series pennant
uh yes it just doesn't doesn't have that that same i don't know, it's like we played the best team in the league.
We got overexposed.
But there were some managerial decisions.
I know that Rob Thompson's like, you know, he's got these guys' trust.
But even Zach Wheeler's like, I'm not really sure what happened there.
You know?
And you make mistakes, but like made a lot of them at really bad times.
It's like the Blake Snell getting pulled with Tampa Bay versus Dodgers in
2020.
It reminded me of that.
The same inning actually.
And the same game,
it was a game six.
And I think,
I think you got to let your ace just work themselves out.
Like if you lose the game, you lose the game and you're
done anyway.
Just play them.
If you need them the next game,
I'm sure
if you went to Zach and said,
I know you just threw 90 pitches yesterday.
I need you to throw 10 more. You would have been like,
fuck it, I'll throw you 30. Game 7 of the World Series.
I've imagined this since my childhood.
I don't need a UCL because I'll throw you 30. So Game 7 of the World Series. I've imagined this since my childhood. I don't need a UCL because I'll have a ring.
It's replaceable.
It's all spare parts eventually.
It's literally replaceable.
You go home from the game, you have Tommy John surgery, you're fine.
Yeah, and Bryce Harper's going to have that.
But I think that was – and then putting Alvarado in,
who had already kind of like been overworked,
you know,
maybe you got to throw in your shitty reliever,
throw in Kyle Gibson to see what the fuck he does.
He,
I don't know.
It's over anyway.
Who cares?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just see what happens.
Give,
you,
you think that some,
it depends on the guys.
And I guess you wouldn't have to know,
but like you could
definitely like if if you've known a known a player for long enough and rob's known all these
guys for a long time because he's been the bench coach for a long time and be like you know what
i think so and so if i gave them you know three outs in the world series they'd step it up they'd
be like fuck yeah i got it like i think you get that like bonus energy
yeah shit like pop like i always say is really good at finding yeah yeah yeah yeah definitely
yeah that that little extra a guy who doesn't like you get get the jitters or something like
that it's like normal to get jitters but that you're able to channel that in the in the in
the extra energy and and like we're we're trending a little close to the,
you know, he's a lunch pail guy kind of shit,
but when it comes to playoff playoff sports, like there is that little,
like, Hey dude,
this guy has literally waited his entire life to be in this spot.
Like, let's see, let's see what happens. Right, right, right. Yeah. Yeah.
So, um, it just sucks.
It was a fucking Astros.
Yeah, exactly.
And just like the dumb bullshit redemption arc that they don't deserve.
Yeah.
Because Manfred didn't do shit in the first place.
Like, yes, it was really tremendous to watch that.
That was so fucking embarrassing for the league.
Take Cruz was was in attendance.
Right.
Although he did get a beer can.
Didn't come to Philly, though.
Didn't come to Philly, though.
Oh, no, no, no.
I don't think he would have survived.
He learned his lesson from New York.
Did you see the heckler in New York?
Yeah, I did not see that.
Oh, he's probably 10 feet from Cruz.
He's like, yo, Cruz, yo, Cruz.
Remember the time that Trump called your wife ugly?
And then you endorsed him, you little bitch, baby.
What are you going to do?
You little bitch?
And he just, he looks right at him, waves and smiles.
It's like, oh my God, you fucking asshole.
Like, like, oh man.
And it was, it was great.
And it's like, all right, Yankees fan, critical support for you in this moment.
Hey, you fucking cocksucker you know
yeah you gotta rally around
the troops you have not the troops you want
what was that clip
on Twitter of like the Astros
pitcher was warming up and then the
Phillies fan was harassing him saying
so and so got with your
girlfriend in high school twice
oh yeah was a game three maybe
was that the philly captain or is it a different guy no uh i forget who it was but yeah they were
harassing uh oh what's his name uh i don't care to look it up was it valdez no valdez was locked
in it was the other guy. Oh, Verlander?
No, not Verlander.
I forget.
Game one pitch.
I don't know.
Yeah, the guy was like, oh, Bryce is going to go yard on that,
like sitting right behind him.
And then the Phillies changed where the bullpens were specifically.
So Phillies fans could harass opposing pitchers.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
What happened is when they had the Phillies ones up top,
the fans were harassing the Phillies players.
Yeah, if you suck, we will give it to you,
but we will give it universally to the other team.
Dude, it sucks.
They have like three cops posted up there, too,
so you can't get too cute.
I can't actually murder the players
no sucks man yeah when that when the astros bus came into town the baseball dude yeah what
happened when you could when you could engage in some heckling and razzing with the players
and then the players could actually come into the stands and fight you, even if you were a man in the wheelchair.
Check out our bonus episode.
Also check out the bonus episode
with Alistair where we talk about
the RootNet Razz and Philadelphia
fans.
Double plug.
It sucks. It was Houston Astros.
I would
rather I had been the Mariners because I wouldn't have been upset.
I would have been upset the Phillies lost. I wouldn't have been
as upset. I think it's like
the Phillies just reached their natural
end of like, they got burnout.
They hadn't been in any postseason.
Yeah, the tank ran out.
But it was
good to watch
especially Dodgers fans be like,
my $4 billion
ball club, you should just have won the pennant.
They won the most games.
It's like, that's great.
That's not how it works.
Yeah.
It hasn't worked that way since like 69 or something like that.
Like, yes.
Hey, how about your $4 billion team wins?
How about that?
How about they don't lose?
No, shut up.
Not that one.
Yeah.
They lost to the Padres, right?
Yep.
Yeah.
Maybe not lose to the Padres, too.
That fucking sucks.
An 87-win chaos factory, baby.
Yeah.
I mean, it's good for baseball that all these teams are...
Like an 87-win team is still competitive.
Are the Phillies an 87-win team if the Mets aren't as good,
if the Braves aren't as good?
No, they're the 95-win team or something like that.
But yeah.
Fuck the Astros.
You know, if you're going to throw a beer can at Ted Cruz, practice first.
You know, the guy clipped his finger.
It was a good throw.
But you only got one.
Yes. Should have got one. Yes.
You don't,
you got,
should have had two lined up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The old New York reload.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
So it's a shame.
It's a shame that Ted Cruz didn't get fucking hit in the head with a,
with a beer can.
Would've been great.
Um,
all right.
Uh,
anything else on the, on the fightings on the
phillies i have i have a i have a um an addition to the agenda that we should talk about yes which
is the guy who ate the rotisserie chicken oh yes that is sports that is sports yes that is sports
yeah you guys had it wtyP had a correspondent on scene.
I heard.
Yes.
Yes.
That was me.
I went down to the pier to watch the man eat the whole rotisserie chicken.
And it was a great spiritual reset for the two losses of the previous day.
Maybe this is the city to heal.
Yes.
I was surprised at the amount of broken glass on the pier.
I was surprised at the amount of fucking Walmart, dude.
There's a whole bunch of children there as well,
which I was also surprised at.
This guy, he was struggling.
He was struggling, but he did do it uh it was it was a
weird experience but it was good um i'm glad it happened uh but on the other hand uh i don't know
i don't know what else there is to say um we did we did have a massive spiritual reset as a certain sub sub sector of the
city who is on Twitter.
Yes.
It's like a weird Twitter get together.
Yeah.
And he wasn't going for 41,
like 40 is a streak.
Now 40,
he was done after 40.
Yeah.
If you've seen interviews with this guy,
he's,
he's,
he's,
he's like,
yeah,
my body was breaking down
from only eating chicken yeah i mean i don't know what you surprise yes
i uh uh we did the uh john from pittsburgh and i did the did the macro breakdown you basically
can eat two rotisserie chickens a day and get almost everything you need. You just need to throw some carbs on there.
So... You need
some fried chicken is what you need.
Or
the Arnold strategy of chicken
and beer.
Good one. Yes.
And then you get your carbs and you get a lot of micronutrients
and vitamin B and stuff. It's lovely.
It's a good point.
And it's, you know,
I'm glad that we finally found a use for that pier.
Um,
that,
that stretch of the Delaware is definitely underutilized.
Um,
you have like the,
the Coast Guard base.
And then you have that,
like it goes down a little bit more than that pier.
And then you go down a little more and it's what the SS United States is below, right?
Yes.
Yes.
And then the haunted, the haunted peers with the ghost ships, uh, where the kid drowned,
um, the mud scowl, I think, and then the, like, like the dead fleet, I think it's called,
um, which, um, if you guys don't know about that, just Google Philadelphia dead fleet.
There's a great Billy Penn article on it.
Um, I think, uh, think that particular pier pier 61 where the guy ate the chicken i believe it was a
pier for the american sugar refining company yes so they brought in sugar from i don't know
probably some horrible exploited third world country. And then they refined it there.
With good union jobs, I'm sure.
Maybe.
Actually, probably.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I have to check the Bromley Atlas to figure out exactly when they shut down.
Pausing the podcast to go to Philly Geohistory.
By the way, shout out to that website.
It's a good website.
It is a very good website.
And that shit has not changed since I was like in fucking high school.
And,
uh,
it should never change.
Well,
yeah,
I don't think they would change,
uh,
old atlases.
No,
but I,
I was referring to the design of the website,
but,
uh,
sure.
That too.
Uh,
my favorite,
my favorite thing is going to the old
map and you see that Fishtown was
once called Balltown.
Balltown.
Balltown, yeah.
what
that
I think there's a Ball Street in Fishtown
I believe.
So there's like a remnant of it.
I gotta double check. I might be confusing Port
Richmond with Fishtown uh but the original Kensington Fishtown what his Fishtown now
was originally Kensington and then the change over time to the Kensington district or whatever
it was but um when did Fishtown become like the name of Fishtown like is that like
like a 20th century thing I believe it's thing? I believe it's a turn.
I believe it's a turn of the, like, like around the turn of the century.
There's a, there's a apocryphal, not true story about, I want to say Charles Dickens
calling it Fishtown, which is very, very not true.
But yeah, I want to, I want to say it's 19th century.
You can see on the maps.
If you go to philly,
philly,
geohistory.com and go through the maps and you can decide,
call in,
let us know.
What's your favorite name for fish town?
Is it ball town?
Is it Kensington?
At least as early as 1808.
Oh,
okay.
Turn up,
turn of the other century.
Prior to Northern liberties,ies, even then.
Yeah, shouts out to Fishtown, a.k.a. Little Kensington.
Northern Liberties, formerly America's second largest city.
Yes, it was. Oh, this is – welcome to Tom's class with Dr. Horwitz in Community College of Philadelphia, U.S. History 101, 102, 103, which he turned entirely into Philadelphia History 101, 102, 103.
Oh, it's the best class I ever had.
Best class I ever had.
Shouts out.
If you know David Horwitz, is he still alive?
He used to give tours at the cemetery, the good one, the nice one.
What's it called?
Laurel Hill.
Laurel Hill.
I should probably reach out to him on Facebook.
But yeah, shouts out to Dr. Horowitz.
I think my architecture history professor tried to get me to take one of his classes, and it just didn't work out for me.
Oh, yeah.
He is.
And I think I've said this story before.
I might have. Oh, fuck it. You have to hear it again. I went to his I went to his class and or into his office. I was a very libertarian guy at the time. And he's got a picture of Lenin and Stalin, like on the corner of his bolter board. And I go, Oh, that's interesting photo you got. And he goes, yeah,
I think it's funny.
Cause,
uh,
cause Lenin here is,
uh,
aged,
uh,
compared to Stalin.
And they,
uh,
yeah,
you can see how they tricked his age.
And,
and I thought I,
that,
that's so like,
he,
he tricked me there.
Oh,
I thought this was funny.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was tricked into being a leftist.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, but jokes, jokes on me. Cause he inculcated me with historical materialism.
So, yeah, dude, that dude rocked.
I fucking love that guy.
I can't put a picture of Lenin in my office, unfortunately.
Good, you coward.
I could, but I share it with like seven other teachers.
Oh, that'll do it.
None of them I think are right wing.
Time to find out.
So,
so shouts out to the chicken guy.
Yes, shout out to
the chicken man.
Hoping he doesn't
meet the same fate
as our previous
chicken man in Philly
not Phil Testa chicken man
yeah not the one
that's in the song
yes
fuck
alright that was a great segue
so I'm going to have to bleep myself but
Mitchell Miller he should be
toilet with a candy bar shut over each nose
yeah or do you think that's too good for him i don't i one second it's pretty
fucking embarrassing as a bruins fan right now um i am not gonna go into the details of the
mitchell miller situation google it because you google for yourself i'm i'm googling it right now
because i don't know what happened.
It's pretty hideous.
He bullied...
Bullying is not the word.
Tortured is the word.
Tortured an intellectually disabled black kid
and made him
eat food
that was soiled and called him the...
He had words a lot.
Every other slur and then pretended to be
his friend, and then has never apologized
directly to the family or anything like that.
And
he was drafted, what, by the
Coyotes?
Once I think it became
public.
Yeah, he's...
Clearly a sociopath.
Clearly unrepentant. Yeah, he does clearly a sociopath, like clearly, clearly unrepentant.
Yeah, he does not give a shit.
He's, you know, he's an awful person.
And the Bruins picked him up, basically, and only not even released him.
There's still some controversy of where they're going to have to pay out his contract.
But just didn't. Jesus Christ.
They knew what they were doing.
The Bruins front office
should be fired into the sun.
It's fucking embarrassing.
This shit is absolutely intolerable.
I'm disgusted as a Bruins fan. I'm disgusted
as a fan of the sport.
Absolutely pure fucking evil.
Yeah, we don't... There's a lot of good hockey players we don't need
fucking this one yeah there's one you know you can go after like and it's all bad racism is all
bad we we pretty everyone who's listed knows where our stances are in this stuff but they you know
picking on like an intellectually disabled kid like that like there's there's no redeeming you
know there's difference between like laughing at somebody someone does something dumb that happens to being funny you were like
torturing an intellectually disabled kid for your own amusement like that is pure pure that's evil
like there's not many things i think are truly evil that is something that's truly evil you know
um absolutely and it's disgusting is he like completely unrepentant about it or like,
what's the situation here?
Is he attempted to make any family?
He's never apologized of his own volition or anything like that.
He's put out statements saying he was like wrong or something like that.
But there are people who like personally know him and said like,
he used to do this to other people too.
And it's never,
he's when he was in court,
apparently the court was like,
the judge was like,
this kid clearly doesn't like show any remorse though. You should do this to other people too. And it's never, he's when he was in court, apparently the court was like, the judge was like,
this kid clearly doesn't like show any remorse though.
Like there's no remorse here.
There's no understanding of why it was wrong.
He thinks it was wrong.
He thinks,
Oh,
well I got caught.
Right.
You know,
that's the problem is I got caught.
Not that I did anything wrong and there's no internal like reflection.
So the guy's a fucking psychopath,
you know,
um,
social pay,
whatever you want to call it. He just, just unrepentant piece of shit yeah no it's it's inexcusable um yeah i i obviously like as a bruins fan but as a fan of the sport like this shit doesn't help
obviously the kid should probably be in a jail cell or in some sort of remedial center uh for a very long time we don't need a fucking hockey player this bad if if i found out what
you're looking for is re-education camp yeah uh i i have a you know we like to say that the
boreal tundra sometimes people should go to it you know and you know i'm not saying kill anybody
saying you wait you know put them there and hopefully they improve.
You were good enough to be
on the U18 team.
Lots of people live
in Murmansk voluntarily.
Everyone knows I teach English and stuff like that.
I don't want to reveal too much about my background or anything like that.
There was a time where I was teaching pure special education and doing
autistic support classrooms and stuff like that. And you know,
I'm just imagining if, if someone,
if I had found out someone did this to like one of my students, I,
I don't think I would have a license.
I think I would have beat the shit out of the kid. And, and you know,
that's reasonable. And it's it's just absolutely yeah yeah it's something
really i mean we all understand it's it's it's wrong but you know knowing knowing how these kids
get taken advantage like being there like firsthand and seeing it stuff like that it's it's uh yeah
fuck you michelle miller eat shit die i hope you never play hockey again. I hope you die
again in the boreal tundra.
I'm not saying we're going to kill you. I just hope you
wander there and... Yeah.
And someone just... Yeah.
Get polar bear eats you. We would do it,
but... You live a productive life
in Murmansk, in
the Russian Hockey League,
and then...
That are eaten, but seriously eaten by polar bears
that's not very
mysterious there's a lot of polar bears
up there
you got Norilsk that might be a good place
and then there's that like town
just east of the Urals
not too far from the
Latov Pass where they had
like radiation leak into like the
lake
how about he get ice skate on that lake Latov Pass where they had radiation leak into the lake.
How about he get ice skate on that lake?
Swim in it too. Yeah, go swim in it too.
How about that? Yes.
You redeem yourself in the Iranian mines of Siberia.
You can go be a
liquidator when
Chernobyl goes again or some shit.
Or into a liquid.
That's why they
called them liquidators, right?
I don't know. Those guys were too decorated
for that.
For that to be a punishment.
Those people, whatever they...
Those were brave men.
Yeah, they were brave. Whatever they did in their lives,
they fit tone for it
by literally melting.
Although some of them are still alive.
Nice. Radiation of them are still alive. Nice.
Radiation exposure limits are, you know, there for a reason.
Yeah.
It kept most of those guys alive.
It's why it's called an LD50, not an LD100.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Oh, yeah.
All right.
Anything else on the news before we get to listener communications?
It's fired up.
All right.
So we got a couple voicemails at us today.
We got one from Krobi.
So we'll go to Krobi first.
Hey, Tom.
Yay, Liam.
This is Krobi.
Pronouns she, Tom. Yay, Liam. This is Probeam. Pronouns she, they.
I
remember you were talking about
fun sports
story. So I have one from my experiences
at WVU.
I remember
one of the running backs at the time
I think it was like 2007
series, the same year we lost the pit
and that was awful and sad and I never want to talk about it
ever again. Noel Devine
lived in my dormitory and he lived on the first floor of a
10-story dormitory and would really love to enjoy
taking the elevator up to the first floor
and everybody would always just bite their tongue
because they knew he was one of the best running backs in the NCAA at the time.
And it always made me laugh, and it brought a great smile to my face.
Also, Liam, I do know that you have a certain preference for accents
that you mentioned in one of your,
well, there's your problem episode, something about a Southern girl accent.
So I'm just going to give you my best Southern West Virginia accent that I can give.
Oh, thank you very much.
So hi, Liam.
How you doing, hon?
Congrats on the engagement.
I wish you the best.
You in the midst.
Soon to be Mrs. Anderson or, well, if you happen to have the name,
or keep your own last name, that's cool too.
We're changing it to Mick Anderson.
Go birds, eat shit pit,
and go Philly.
Yee-haw.
Yee-haw indeed.
I will say, as somebody
who is from the state
of Pennsylvania,
I grew up in the weird bit.
I have always had a certain affinity for both WVU and Pitt.
I know quite a few people I liked in high school ended up at WVU.
And I appreciate their...
What?
Oh, no.
Pizza Boy just jumped up on my...
Up here next to the microphone uh hear any any
meowing that's not for me that's from here oh whatever you want man yeah you do uh wvu is is
a is a is a is a school i greatly admire because of their willingness to just light their own town on fire. I like
Pitt in the context of hating Penn
State, but I've
always gotten a kick out of WVU
just because they're just like,
championship win? Burn it. Loss?
Burn it. Don't care.
Great school.
Morgantown is absolutely sick as hell.
I have nothing
negative to say about wvo honestly
i got a i got a hanker for for grits and biscuit gravy right now because that was a pepperoni roll
dude i would say that the subject of this call though was um i forget who the guy was
uh but taking the elevator up one floor is literally in it.
If you lived in a tall dormitory in college, those buildings are not built with the elevator load that they experience.
You know, I lived in what was a towers hall at Drexel University, which is like 14, 15 stories tall, I want to say 15.
And they I think there were three elev elevators two of which are out of
service at any given time um and and like so you you go in there and it's like okay these elevators
should be like restricted to people who are going to floor five or higher um you are a young and
virile person you can take the fucking stairs
yeah you can take
the god you do not
take the elevator one floor
you do not take the elevator two
floors of course if
someone has a you know a need for that that's
different but we're talking about a running back
exactly
exactly
Noel Divine I believe,
was the person.
I will say, though,
as someone who lived on the eighth floor
of Kelly, his freshman year at
Drexel University,
don't fucking go there. It's a bad
school. It's a garbage school for garbage people.
All three of us have gone there in some capacity.
Kelly Hall had
nicer exterior materials than towers
i don't know dude i lived in a shoebox and i paid like fifty thousand dollars for the privilege
though so don't they stuffed us in triples my freshman year my god we kelly rooms aren't
physically big enough to have triples yeah yeah that's the thing about towers
we had people living in the did you have people living in the common areas
no we did not oh we did the university's terrible don't go to drax no no it sucks um and also don't
take the elevator up one floor when the building is underserved by elevators this is common human courtesy yeah unless you really need it need right
if you don't if you don't need to go get go get nice calves by going up and down the stairs
yes exactly be like uh gareth and i walking down 50 floors to liberty
oh that that that's a little too much but i mean yes, I went to the top of Anderson at Temple
and my legs were jelly
at the end.
No, they renamed it.
No, what's it now? I don't fucking
know. It was Gladfelder and Anderson.
Yeah, they renamed
Anderson. Your family, I guess, didn't
renew the lease on it.
No, apparently not. They didn't renew the contract.
It's called Brutalism Hall Power washer concrete hall
It's like
What is it
The Earl Mack
School of Law at Drexel
Thomas Klein
Oh it's not
What's it called anymore
It's Klein now
It's not a very good law school
They lost their accreditation
Well I was at Drexel
Temple did?
No Drexel did
Oh oh oh
I was going to say
Isn't Beasley at Temple?
Yep
Yes I thought
Go Owls
Yes
Yes
Wait three and six now?
Yeah they lost the season opener
to fucking Wagner? Or are you talking about
the football team?
Yeah, they beat USF
like 52-28
or something.
Hoo-hoo, motherfuckers.
Alright, we got...
I guess we have two
Justin imposters.
I'm the Avignon anti-Justin., we have, I guess we have two, two Justin imposters. I, I'm the, I'm the Avignon anti-Justin.
And now we have, uh, uh, who was, what was the third one?
The third anti-Pope.
It was like Northern Italy.
Say Florence.
Uh, the Milanese, uh, anti-Pope.
I don't know.
Uh, there was only a third one for a little bit.
Um, so let's listen to the
Anti-Justin
Hey I'm Justin
It's like fucking one in the morning
I have the worst headache
And I had a random thought
You know I live in Miami right
And we have a baseball team
They're not very good
And they're also not very popular
Miami despite being one of the biggest
Metro areas in the country,
is considered a small market team
in the baseball world with one of the lowest
revenues, I think.
I just think it's funny to
the ineptitude of the franchise
into how
Miami was the start of a
trend of teams moving and then
not being popular in their cities.
We saw this with the Rams especially and the Chargers,
and Miami just did it 20 years earlier.
It's also part of the, I think, LA and Miami are very similar
when it comes to their football teams or sports teams in general.
They'll go out, they'll support a winner,
but when the team sucks ass, they will be nowhere to be found.
I mean, we have
the most fair weather of fair weather
fans that you can imagine, except
for the Dolphins, but that's
its own medicine.
I just thought that was
fun thought. Also,
I forget who owns the Dolphins,
but whoever owns...
All the sports
in our stock, never mind.
Well, first it was the Peas and
Antipopes. So not too far
from Florence.
Even Ross owns the Dolphins
and he fucking sucks.
I was in Miami, what, back
in May or some shit like that
April or May and I went and I saw a Phillies
game down there
outside of the ballpark I saw no
no one with Marlins gear
I saw Phillies fans I saw
a Washington Nationals fan
I saw a lot of Yankees hats
but I saw absolutely no
Marlins gear
I saw like people with like
a heat shirt or heat
hat on but yeah they got they got nothing down there and the ballpark um i i mentioned this
before like like when they close the dome the sounds reverberate so wet loudly it feels like
it's like you're you're in like some sort of like um psyop you know from if vietnam or something's
playing like like the brown note from a helicopter um is it like a situation where like everyone
drives there so you don't see any of the fans because everyone is still lying in line to get
out of the parking lot or like you know if if they filled more than like 40 capacity there would probably be a line but
there was like yeah uh yeah there was a lot of parking lots but there was no line getting there
no line leaving like it was straight up um and embarrassing it's embarrassing the food's good
there uh food's good the ballpark um um not enough like uh los barbudos uh you know left-wing cuba
shit down there but um yeah no it's um and it's actually not a real nice neighborhood like it's
not um that's like it's a bad neighborhood by any means it didn't seem like by my kensington
sketch detectors um nor nor my wife's california recalibrated, nor my wife's California.
Yeah, recalibrated.
Nor my wife's Southern California sketch
detectors. It just seemed like,
you know, it was like poor. It didn't seem like it was,
you know, dangerous or anything.
But I could be wrong. You let me know.
But yeah, no, that's
Miami's
a town of transplants. I don't know
what you're going to do.
It's,
it's a shame too,
because it's like,
you got a lot of people who like baseball who live there,
but they're just not fans of the Marlins.
Maybe if they didn't stink,
that would be,
it would help.
Yeah.
Spend the money first.
And then people will come to your games.
Um,
all right.
Uh,
well,
uh,
we got, we got a call from our friend
from Roxborough.
So
we already have our
MLS coverage, so I guess we don't have to listen to Charlie?
No, no, it's all right.
I told him we'd listen.
Hey, guys.
This is Charlie from Roxborough.
I got back from the stadium and Charlie. Yeah. Hey guys, this is Charlie from Roxborough.
I got back from the stadium
and
the union
went
full union
in the final
like
they've done before.
They've
done this in
the final
three
Open Cup finals.
They did it in
the CONCACAF semifinals, CONCACAF Champions three Open Cup Finals. They did it in
the CONCACAF Semifinals, CONCACAF Champions League
Semifinals, and now they finally did it
in the MLS Cup Finals. 120,
130-minute game.
Scored three. Unfortunately, they let up three, and
unfortunately, they let a three and unfortunately they let a
36 year old
Welsh guy with a
covering up a bald spot
with a top knot
get the game tying goal
look you gotta do what you gotta do
nothing they could really do on any
of those and they went
to the coin flip of penalties
and
they really
put together three terrible penalties.
Got Zach flipping on the first one and then
credit to Zach. Zach McMath,
Union's second goalkeeper, was in an Open Cup
final seven years ago
lost it on penalties
and then turns around and
stops them from winning
the MLS Cup on two straight saves
gets named MVP
you know
it's a fucking wild
ride like if you don't
like people that don't watch sports like
I don't know.
You get to have the highest high and then draft
kicked in a ditch five minutes later,
which is
fucking fun.
If you want a sure thing,
watch a bunch of Marvel movies
or read a book.
I don't know what to tell you.
Don't watch Marvel movies.
It's not for normal people, despite don't know what to tell you. It's not for
normal people, despite
how many of them say they are.
Yeah, onward to
Birds, go Birds.
Go Birds.
Hopefully the process gets going.
Still undefeated.
Fuck Angelo and fuck Miller.
Don't
get racist. Don't get racist.
Don't get fucking abusers on your team.
Fuck those guys.
Hockey is not looking good.
But yeah, on to the World Cup, which will be a disaster.
And on to the 2023 Union.
Love our blue-collar boys.
Pick it up and go for it
Yay Liam
You can't pick up the ball though
Hey Tom enjoy yourself guys
Later
Oh that sad Charlie
A little bit of a
Downer there
Our man is truly
A union
Just die hard Guy so yeah it stinks Our man is truly a union just diehard guy.
So, yeah, it stinks.
It stinks that your team loses in the championship.
I think we can all, you know, empathize.
All right.
So not only do we have an anti-Pope Justin Justin, we have an anti-Pope, Liam.
Very good.
Yeah.
So, yeah, let's hear from anti-Pope, Liam.
Hello.
My name is Liam.
He, him.
He's a Minnesota sports fan.
So I want to say congratulations to the Eagles on continuing to have that perfect streak.
And I want to laugh in the faces of everybody because the Vikings are somehow still only at one loss.
I also want to congratulate the Lions for beating the Packers.
Obviously, as a Vikings fan, the classic joke, my second favorite team is whoever's playing the Packers.
And the fact that the Lions made them look like clowns is wonderful.
Big apologies about the loss of the Phillies. That's real sad.
I always enjoy seeing Philadelphia Terrence town apart whenever you win something or lose something.
So that's been a great media fun, obviously.
Congratulations to the man who ate an entire chicken
on the pier by Walmart.
And to everyone who got to witness that great moment.
And of course, congratulations to the state of Philadelphia
for John Fetterman.
I don't want to say he defeated Dr. Oz
because Mammoth does not deserve to have the prefix doctor attached to his name.
Fuck that guy.
Go birds.
Bye.
Go birds.
I just want to say when he said state of Philadelphia, he did mean Commonwealth of Philadelphia.
Shut up.
Yes.
Yes.
I get very annoyed
At that
It's like one of my pet peeves
When people say state of Pennsylvania
It's Commonwealth
Functionally no different
There is no difference
I had an argument with a guy
This was volunteer
Search and rescue type of guy
So you know how they are
And they're all fucking insane.
And he's like, no, no, no.
Commonwealth is different.
When you're Commonwealth, you have certain authority when it comes to emergency response that a state doesn't have.
I said, that's not true.
Where is that?
Please cite that in the Constitution.
Please cite your sources, sir.
Motherfucker, I have a degree in history like shut up you you you did you don't all right and you you're a part of a eight volunteer
fire departments all right so you can wear them all in your belt your kilt belt like a fucking
weirdo all right person who knows will know who I'm talking about.
Yeah, I'm into public safety.
Yeah, you are.
You're into having eight pages on your belt like a dork.
You're tall.
Yeah.
Oh, did I ever tell you about the time I rappelled down the side of a burning building?
No one cares.
No, I just met you.
Well, I'm sure you will.
Fucking whackers. All right.
So Impostor Liam called in again and had a correction.
So let's see if he corrected his mistake.
Hey, Liam again.
I do want to issue a couple corrections.
One, saying Philadelphia tears the city apart is an obvious exaggeration.
No, it's not.
I don't want to sound like a dick, so I do want to say,
specifically people sliding down greasy poles is really funny.
Tearing the city apart is a
little extreme. And also, it is
5.46 my time
here in Central Time Zone.
So to say
Fetterman has quote-unquote
one is a little bit of a stretch, but
fuck it. I mean, the only
districts that have left the road really
don't have enough people
to swing it back to Dr. Oz's
favor. So, fuck that guy.
Go birds. Gay Fetterman.
Gay Liam. Congrats on the engagement.
Fuck, I didn't even mention that.
I got married a couple weeks ago or months ago
and I didn't even mention the last two times
I've called in. Gay Liam. Congrats.
Holy shit. Way to go, guy.
Okay. Go birds. Goodbye. The shit. Way to go, guy. Okay. Go, birds. Goodbye.
The Google
transcript says gay Fetterman.
Oh, yeah.
Gay Fetterman.
Yeah.
You thought you'd do a Dom Daddy
top before we told you we've
unleashed gay Fetterman upon us.
Gay Fetterman
is the bottom.
I don't want to see the other guy J.D. Vance
Just point that out
Oh man
Yeah
John Fetterman literally spent more of his life
In Appalachia
However the fuck we want to say it, than JD Vance ever did.
Silicon Valley running away.
Fuck, fuck you.
Yeah.
So.
John Fetterman has seen a mountain.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
I mean, they both left for college, but one came back.
Yes.
Yeah.
And it's funny it's like one's the son of like a
Well off insurance salesman
Veteran who then decided to
Help working class people and then the other is like a
Actual kind of quasi poor kid
Who just decided to shit all over poor people
Once he got a hint of that coke money
So you know
Gotta pull up that ladder
Yeah pull up those bootstraps
Go listen to the Troubles When I talk about him Gotta pull up that ladder. Yeah, pull up those bootstraps.
Go listen to the Troubles when I talk about him.
It's like half their episodes.
Alright, we're hitting an hour here, so I got three quick DMs.
We'll go through and then we'll say our goodbyes.
So Dave F., this was during the World Series.
W2F, I think I'm probably late to the party, but I did not know Bryce Harper is a Mormon.
Yep.
He is a Mormon.
He's a Nevada Mormon.
Yep.
Think he's wearing underwear, the underwear during the game.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Do you think he is?
Maybe?
Yeah.
I don't know, man.
If he was, it didn't work.
I don't know.
He, you know, his batting average is 400 so i think he probably was honestly on average it worked but it didn't work when it counted
i know that he does drink coffee he doesn't drink alcohol uh but i do know he drinks coffee so maybe
he's he's uh you know half jack morm, I guess. I don't know.
Long time commoner, Metric Mike.
Hello, Tommy A. Liam.
Hello.
Did you two see the NASCAR race at Martinsville 30th October where Ross Chastain gunned it along the wall in the final lap
and went from 10th to 5th place?
Using a maneuver he learned in NASCAR 05.
In Nintendo.
Yeah.
He learned it on Nintendo. Is the PIT He learned in NASCAR. Oh, five in Nintendo. Yes.
He learned it on Nintendo.
Is the PIT maneuver legal in NASCAR?
You should watch that fucking video.
It is insane.
I'll have to look it up.
Uh, great.
It's so good.
Uh,
as always,
fuck that state,
fuck Ohio state.
Also take a moment to life at the Browns cause well,
and then in the text here,
so there's gestures at the Browns.
Yeah.
Hello Browns.
Uh,
no, I'm gonna have to look that up uh like mario kart did he do the power slide he held down r you know he went right on the outside of the wall yeah without steering yeah um and just
use the wall to guide him around while flooring it oh Oh, hell yeah. I'm going to have to look that up.
And then we have Anonymous.
They asked to not give their name.
So, hey, y'all.
Name redacted.
I'm using the
reconstructed proto-Indo-European animate pronouns
because they're the only pronouns I can do
that doesn't have a gender.
My fucking god.
Keese Keese.
Keem.
All right.
They actually had an adjective plazav in Proto-Union European.
So we thought it did.
I'm going to punch you in the face.
But I'll give you an adjective plazav right back. I enjoy the linguistics.
Stop it.
We should have more linguistics in podcasts in general.
Roz, do you want to do a conlang with me a what a constructed language come on
i don't i don't have enough time for that right now we'll work it out later all right all right
yeah yeah yeah we'll do a podcast where we i read i read in my conlang to you and you figure it out or something or we could just learn
Proto-Indo-European, shouts out if
you like this shit, listen to History of
English podcast, it's pretty good
alright
so Keith Keem
here, I
picked up the podcast a few weeks ago and I've
really been enjoying it, your conversation
has been helpful for me getting back into sports,
having a clear through line on what's going on week to week.
Not always week to week, but, you know, we're trying.
It's refreshing to have two people that know what's going on in the sports world
talk in a way that's accessible to the general public.
Well, thank you.
I didn't know that we knew what's going on, but I appreciate it.
Congrats to Liam on the engagement.
I wish you both the best.
Congrats again. Yeah, congrats on the Phillies winning the on the engagement. I wish you both the best. Congrats again.
Congrats on the Phillies winning the NLCS. Good luck in the World Series.
Fuck the Astros. We'll
agree there.
I have two hockey
questions for today. First, I went to my first East
Coast Hockey League. That's the equivalent
to AA game last week.
What do prospects look like for an EHCL player
getting pulled up to their AHL or NHL team?
That's question one.
Second, what do you think about this year's reverse retro
alternate jerseys? Check the link at the bottom for
ClosableL32. Thank you for
doing this podcast. Keep up the good work. Go Phillies. Go
Birds. Both Eagles and Jacks. Go Redding
Royals.
I don't... Oh, that's EHCL?
Yeah. Go Fighting Phillies too
then. Fuck the Astros. Fuck Kansas
State, I guess.
I have a stake in that.
I don't know if you got
answers to those hockey questions.
What do prospects
look like for an AHCL player
getting pulled up to AHL?
Here's the thing,
anonymous. My maternal
great-grandmother went to
K-State, so I i'm gonna have to disagree with you
there uh from galena kansas anyway uh yeah i i looked this up and it's like 600 players
have made nhl rosters from echl so like your prospects are decent, I would say. Not bad.
I think a lot of it is once you get out of sort of the youth,
like the youth leagues, basically, like, you know,
if you're starting to commit to playing it full-time,
like, your chances aren't, like, your chances are so much better,
I would say.
So, I just, I don't know the ratio of double-A players that make it to MLB, but. I don't know the ratio of double A players that make it to MLB
but
I don't know
the talent pool is also a lot smaller
double A baseball
is a lot of times guys will
jump straight up
it's sort of like the holding tank for the prospects
where it's the triple A guys
or mix of journeymen
and vets and a couple
guys who usually pitchers who are
you know kind of
this way you can fill the entire NHL
with just dudes they've gotten
from the ECHL gotcha
23 man roster 32 teams
Roger that and do
you have any do you have any thoughts on those reverse
retro I did that math wrong
that's fine I don't give a shit um yeah uh the bruins looks uh hideous and i love it it's got the poo
bear on it uh i i like them at least they're doing something with them uh i like the flyers
one last year too but we don't we don't talk about the flyers the flyers one last year too, but we don't talk about the Flyers. The Flyers one looks like it's just pretty standard.
Flyers looking like it's not super, you know.
The Winnipeg Jets one looks cool though.
My math wasn't that bad.
You would be off by like 50 players, but that's fine.
Oh, okay.
That's why you have a degree in math.
All right.
Any other final thoughts before we wrap up?
Yeah.
Fuck Mitchell Miller again.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Please, please just die.
Yeah.
A little faster there, bud.
Yeah.
