and we we need to be like pushing this stuff like i don't know whatever uh anyway but we are alive right now but you're definitely not wrong i mean that's that's the important thing to know is that you're just not wrong yeah no i'm not i'm not wrong about anything ever no i you i don't think you've ever been wrong about anything ever which is kind of wild because you're what 40 years old uh yeah 408 408 years old you knew my dad back in 1530 yeah yeah he was a malice before malice born it was crazy dude yeah uh your dad would have been shot your dad would have been like does your dad say uh what's his name did nothing wrong rose pierre uh no but uh he's not really a french revolutionary guy he's interested in the french uh, he's not really a French revolutionary guy.

He's interested in the French revolution, but he's always been, he was a big seven years war French and Indian war guy when I was a kid. Oh, okay. Big, uh, King Phillips war guy. King Phillips war? Native American, or it's also called Metacom's rebellion. Yeah, Metacom, yeah. It was, you know, one of the first, the first Indian uprisings in sort of colonial America.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, wow. What were those? You get notifications? That was my work laptop. That was my work laptop. It's like, are you saying, you are talking about Native Americans on Company Time?

No, I'm not on Company Time, and I haven't been for two minutes. You should have been. I listen, man. I, I, I'm not going to say what I was going to say. Cause we're not editing this one. This thing's just going wild. This one, this one is, is raw. It's it's unprotected. It's no birth control. It's ruined for your pleasure. No birth control.

Speaking of no birth control, congratulations to St. Joe's on their acquisition of the University of the Sciences of Philadelphia. Those students will no longer be allowed to get pre-birth control. Hey, the Jesuits are okay people. Yeah, except for the birth control stuff.

The birth control stuff's not great. Yeah, I mean, you could do worse. Say what you want about Catholicism, but at least they fucking are consistent about life. They are consistent. I will give it to the Catholics. They are 100% consistent on that shit. I mean, the problem with Catholicism, I think,

is that it's not true, right? only good religion is judaism the only good religion is judaism goodbye corinne the problem with catholicism is that corinne was raised catholic yeah that's that's pretty true tale the problem with catholicism it's it's not islam the one true holy what's up alice uh yeah uh yeah uh i don't know i was gonna try to say something arabic but i fuck it up uh yeah no being being born being born catholic race catholic being born catholic born catholic um i would not have the radical take I have on social issues if I wasn't for my Catholic upbringing, I think. Oh, sure. Yeah, exactly.

notice and come up to us to talk to us and our respective partners have to uh fend them off with bats. Yeah. That's why I told my wife to Jim Tomey swing. Yeah. It's not guys. It's not just like dudes coming up. No, it's actually exclusively women and definitely not just guys saying yeah to him and running away. Yeah. Send your thirst traps to Roz.

We're Alive and Joe Girardi isn't, so. Yeah, he committed seppuku on home plate.

As he should have. I will say, every Friday, I do Quizzo with Corinne's family. And I'm actually a little annoyed they fired him today. Because the team name I wanted to use last week was Fire Joe Gir gerardi yeah and now i don't get to say that no make it fire rob thompson yeah yeah i i want to do fire doc rivers but i'm afraid the races here at the jersey shore will uh give you the c cal and approval you'll get that you'll get that attention yeah i don't yeah uh so and bonus wise so we didn't put a bonus in may um i'm sorry uh i'm gonna annoy ross and alice to come on they both publicly said they would come on okay so so so i i'm gonna i'm literally just gonna dm in the

group message that they started and say uh pick a day you're coming on because you're both doing it yep that sounds good you do that thank you yeah and then then then you got to figure out the next one and yeah so voicemail uh we have like a bunch but i figured next next week we'll kind of do a little bit of a longer mailbag segment um i've got three and i got a bunch of uh messages so 267-371-7218 uh call in leave us a voicemail uh patreon.com slash 10 000 losses thank you to our patrons i want to say that too yeah um thanks for paying for a month the bonus episode didn't come out. But hey, I do want to say as a little treat for our 10,000 losses patrons, if you DM me,

if you DM me with proof you are a 10,000 losses patron and you don't already have the WTYP bonus for June which is the death of the NCAA episode I'll send it to you this is a little treat oh alright alright do you want me to put the link in our patreon or just for that one

nah alright they have to ask show some gumption kid speak your mind I'll give it to you but you gotta ask Liam's nice that's how I met him I slid in those DMs Show some gumption, kid. Speak your mind. I'll give it to you, but you got to ask. Liam's nice. That's how I met him. I slid in those DMs. You sure did.

Wonderful friendship it's been. Wait till the public falling apart over something stupid. It's going to be real dumb. I don't know. I ate one. This summer when I'm down the, I don't know. I ate one. This summer when I'm down the shore, we got crabs. I ate one more. And you just flip shit on me.

Yeah. All right. Which, honestly, that is, if you did that to me, I'd be a little upset. So. And my wife would murder us both if we did that. I don't want your wife to murder me. Yeah. Yeah. She's a she's crab monster

um so um not literally she's a crab monster yeah she's not an actual crab monster wow okay let's get on track here baseball oh anyway baseball yes let's talk about that before because tom's wife murdered him with a bat yeah uh nevermind alright so the Phils are Phils are 22 and 29 just as good as the Baltimore Orioles

um we are we are a half game behind the Pittsburgh Pirates in the wildcard race. The Pittsburgh Pirates who swept the Dodgers this week. I don't really know what to do with that, other than it's sort of starting to give me some sort of brain trauma.

Yeah, so we're 12 games back in the National League East. We're five and a half games back, wild card. So I don't think we're catching up to the Mets unless there's a real little Mets moment and the Mets just shit their pants, which isn't impossible. I mean, Mets, see, the difference between Philly's fandom, Philly's bullshit and Mets bullshit

is that Phillies are perpetual losers. We expect it right whereas the mets the mets were the world series a few years ago yeah the the mets yeah 2015 i think the mets keep getting to high levels of success and then hilariously shoot themselves in the ass so that's the that's the little mets so, it could be possible that in September the Mets are the last of the division. I doubt it, but it could, it could happen. Um, so, so we went on the road, we won three of the four against the Dodgers and we, and we, and we, um, did we sweep the Mariners?

I feel like we might've and, and, and it's a good Mariners team right now. We, we really play, we're playing well and and it's a good mariners team right now we we really play we're playing well and everyone's like optimism and then salute day and then the bottom fell out and yeah yeah and then we just started eating shit uh we're three out of seven uh last 10 games um we managed to finally end the losing streak uh Wednesday, which was Joe Girardi's last game. Going out on a high note. Joe Girardi was fired this morning.

Liam texted me. Then I stopped my class. Did you really? I'm 100% serious. I stopped the entire class and I said, guys, some big news. I guess they thought it was going to be like a terrorist attack or something. No, no.

It's just Joe Girardi was fired. The terrorism against Phillies fans is over. So out of the 30 kids, the three who knew baseball were interested. That's not bad. At least you got something. Yeah. But I guess real quick, just joe gerardi was fired we got segura was is out for 12 weeks with a broken finger jesus uh our most consistent contact guy

and then harper is permanent dh until his elbow gets better um so a lot of like downhill shit, you know, just, just real not good stuff. And we blew up against the Braves and then we let the, like, like we, we started this thing of like, just losing in the, in the fucking last two innings. We're going to collapse over and over. Yeah. And so Joe Jordy was fired. I think it's at, I think they,

they waited till today for a reason because Gabe Kapler was in town. And I don't think they wanted to fire Girardi with Kapler in town. I just, I just would have been like, kind of like rubbing dirt in it, I guess a bit. But it would have been funny though. All right.

So, Oh yeah, definitely would have. So like, like the question is here, it's like, all right so yeah oh yeah definitely would have so like like the question is here it's like all right gerardi's fired right um where do the phillies go from here like we've said fire drew gerardi on this podcast before um and i don't think we were wrong but need a total organizational restructure like top to fucking bottom yeah and i think like you need to like start with the scouting and start with the draft guys and what you do is you like i can't say the actionable

threat because you're not editing this one yes make sure they have a nice time well and you you just i mean and i'm being serious you fire all of them the entire scouting department out on its ass well because they can't draft dude that's half the problem with this team they can't draft so they're it's what you said a few weeks ago where they're like oh we can't draft so we have to spend you know right tons of money which isn't in like being willing to spend money is great but like you have to be able to you know get above 500 usually yeah yeah so so i'm gonna say that that just just for you for you and the listeners um so we did kind of blow up the scouting department two years ago and we have a guy named brian barber now who's

actually really highly regarded as a as a uh scouting at least amateur scout yeah so he's a scouting director he's he's considered pretty good and the last two drafts um have been considered pretty strong so right now we have a lot of guys in um like like single a and like rookie league who are pretty decent looking guys but we got no nothing at triple a or double a nothing in triple a right yeah i don't even think we might have one or two guys a high a but they're still two or three years out um but yeah no like that like you like to say organizational malfeasance that it was for a long time like having the scouting department run so poorly and just drafting so poorly like it doesn't make sense that a big market team like us would be out of the

running since what was the last time we were in the playoffs was 2012. Yeah. 2012 or 2013. Yeah. Like it's, it's, it's insane. And they also,

apparently we had a quality assurance coach. I don't know what that does. Okay. Well, the quality is very much not a short i'll tell you that yeah do you put a qc sticker in the lineup card and be like all right yeah check this out slap it on bryce the the car the card uh yeah that that car beats specs it's with intolerance it's plus one or two millimeters so uh yeah no it's good um it's fine it's fine yeah shut up pussy yeah so so uh there is that aspect and i think there's

front office issues there as well um you know dobrowski can only do so much he's only been like last year was his full last offseason was his first full offseason right and uh i i actually thought and thought that there was a press conference today he he was people was like look dude this is the team i put together i'm a little disappointed myself you know uh i'm not blaming them i'm the one who put it together and uh i was like all right yeah like you browski's got a good head on his shoulders i got like give him a couple more years i think we might be in a good in good situation but you know so it's gonna take time and then we if it takes time that we're wasting harper's prime so on and so forth right and i and i and that's a good transition because i want to talk about

like what is his fault and i think that he had that that gerardi had completely lost the clubhouse oh yeah no for sure yeah and uh we've noticed his lack like sort of lackadaisical effect like he's not he's not like a hot guy like which is fine it's fine to be like a relatively calm guy but like when you're not like sometimes it is your job to get tossed yeah and we criticized him earlier in the season for not going after um angel hernandez or for not going after um i forget what uh what betts pitcher was uh who threw who hit boom, like, or hit Schwarber, they threw a boom. Like you got to stand up for your guys.

And, and how much, how much, like how much does a manager actually do in baseball? There's a lot of people like he makes the decisions, but the, the play on the field, I mean,

is the players and the developments and then the support staff and all that. Like, but, but you got to set the tone. And if you set this like lackadaisical tone um i i i've heard that he's a pretty controlling guy like he's he's pretty like if he's made a decision he doesn't change his mind and if you're like a guy who's been in the league for a long time like think about bryce harper he's been in the league for like 10 years he's been in since he was like 19 right you're right a guy who's been in the league for a long time, like think about Bryce Harper. He's been in the league for like 10 years. He's been in since he was like 19.

Right. You're rightfully going to scoff at that. Yeah. Like, like, dude, you're not going to like. It's like Saban coaching at my, and for the Miami dolphins and realizing that once he couldn't scream at a bunch of 18 year olds anymore. Right, right, right.

Yeah. Cause these are, these are like, there's not a lot of young guys on this team it's a lot of mercenaries um so i think he lost the clubhouse and the the stuff from the phillies today was like yeah you know we think rob rob thompson was the bench coach is now the head coach uh interim for the rest of the year they said and they said that oh you know they think that he's going to be able to really communicate with these guys so so i think just the way they're coding their messages it sounds like a lot of this was play clubhouse uh morale was probably real shit

and bryce harper has matured a lot since like he was a cocky piece of shit when he first came up like one second hang on one second i gotta choose chairs yes oh boy i don't know how i'm gonna get out of this one tom one second oh boy okay i'm good it's an intermission it's not an intermission if i'm right here i wasn't sure all right so you got in your poop chair that's i haven't pooped in this one oh yet yeah yeah every chair it's a chair you haven't pooped in yet yeah that's true that's a good way to go through life man yeah that's a good way to think about opportunities pretty zen if you think about it all right

are you back yeah i don't know if you saw the tweet i posted while uh the current took a picture of me recording this no i haven't seen i'm i was yeah using a like a cloth leg rest hold on i gotta see this uh let's see twitter n-o-t-l-i um let's see that liam anderson you follow each other uh he him on some pot he's jewish really yeah oh hell yeah hell yeah yes getting the pod done yeah pod's gotta get done baby all right i love it i love the seashore shit too thank you what does that what does it say all all be all bodies are beach bodies but not all boys are the beach boys oh i mean it's that's that's also pretty that's like another zan cone there we can uh all right so uh podcast um so gerardi had like

he lost the clubhouse yeah yeah so so so he had this like weird hopefully i didn't lose lose a thread there so so like someone like bryce harbour could be an asshole like if he starts raising raising a lot of like issues like he could be a he could be a pain in the ass so i didn't lose lose a thread there so so like someone like bryce roberto could be an asshole like if he starts raising raising a lot of like issues like he could be a he could be a pain in the ass so i don't know um lenny dykstra was also tweeting that he should be hired no maybe but no i mean he hasn't been arrested in four years that's an improvement wow dude that dude dude if he like talk about white privilege if he would if he was a if he was not a baseball player or not a white guy he'd be dead or in jail like for life i mean he has done so many crimes so many crimes like real crimes too not just white collar shit he has he has choked out people he has put guns

to you got like six months for pointing a gun to an Uber driver's head. Like, are you serious? That's it? Like, fuck Lenny Dykstra. Anyway, back to Joe Girardi, who's definitely not... Like, Joe Girardi's not a bad guy. Like, people were...

I was listening to WIP today just to hear what people were taking. A lot of people were like going real hard on him. Like, come on. No, he kind of... I think he just didn't want to be here anymore. He had weird bullpen rules. If you couldn't pitch

three days in a row in a relief pitcher. I think when he lost the bullpen was when we were playing the Braves and he told Knievel, no, you can't pitch three days in a row. not this early in the season.

Knievel, like, wanted it to be like – like, when your closer's like, coach, I got this, you go – Right. Yeah, you do. Don't let him do it. Go get him, right? It's your game to lose. Right.

And if you fuck it up, you fuck it up. And you fuck it up, and then you're at the postgame, you say, hey, you know what? He told me he got it, and he didn't have it. But you know what? Yeah, he had the balls to do it so i gave him the ball and and didn't do that uh he was also like like like people would make fun of joe for like all the binders he had like like just fucking like mit romney's but mit romney's binders full of women

got binders for baseball yeah so like all these different like lineups like he hates he hates hates batting lefties against lefties like how are you gonna learn how to bat again like like it's not that it's actually not that big like i mean yeah it does actually have an effect right but some players actually hit their own side better like it whatever and and so so i think a lot of that was his fault um but how much is this like he's like the whipping boy? Like the bullpen is still in a state where it's just not good enough. It's horrendous. And part of its injuries, part of its injuries, and you just get unlucky,

which was like sort of how I felt about when they fired Brett Brown, the Sixers did after the bubble. I sort of thought that was hasty um because Doc Rivers has more or less the same team right you know plus old-ass James Harden but you know at least Ben Simmons was playing at that point I guess I don't know um i just i i sort of thought i was like all right like a lot of this feels like making excuses from higher ups like right i i there are times where a team sucks and you know they change the coach and then they just get hot that happened to the 2019 st louis blues who beat my beloved boston bruins in seven

in the stanley cup final they were the worst team in hockey at the all-star break and then simply got hot and won a cup and you know the celtics were below 500 uh in january of this year now they're playing in the nba finals i mean, they didn't fire their coach, but like sometimes you do just get hot. Baseball's a long season. Yeah. But I do think I, my sort of problem is like you fire him now. Yeah.

Like the dude was clearly not the fit. And now you're doing the thing where Bryce Harper is going to have what three managers in four years. Like that's insane. Yeah. That's a cohesive baseball team. team if you if you sort of and again i think a lot of it is it goes back to this drafting problem which is that you know if you can't draft pitchers and some you know your third reliever is making 15 20 million

a year like you're starting to yeah yeah i mean I'm not opposed to the all gas, no brakes approach in terms of fielding. But like you got to have pitchers who are on board with all gas, no brakes. Right. And our starting pitching has actually been pretty, pretty good. Like, like I don't have much in the way of issues with starting pitching. It's I mean, Ranger hasn't been his himself, but we we said that he's coming back to earth like right there was no way you have like a 1.1 era like two years in a row it's it's just it's just not happening um and so yeah i think i think you know this is like a like a whipping boy thing uh

bryce harper actually said it's it's it's equal equal on us equal on on on joe which i thought was a pretty you know if you know anything about bryce harper but when he was younger yeah he's been a lot now you would just say i thought fuck him it's all his fault that's a clown question bro um so yeah when you don't have guys who are you're coming up through your system you have all these different uh relievers um i i don't have guys who are, you're coming up through your system, you have all these different, uh, relievers. Um,

I don't know when they're going to learn the lesson that you got to fucking spend, spend the money on a, on a couple. I think we need to like trade for a stud and maybe an arm or two. Like they don't have to be great. They just need to be guys. And right.

But our dudes are are not even replacement level so i mean and schwarber has been hitting like it's funny schwarber's batting average sucks it's like 189 190 but his on base and his slugging is really good and his home race he's got the most home runs on the team. It's weird, dude. The fact that he's playing visually poorly, but peripherally not that bad. He's just chasing way too much shit. You're familiar with BABIP?

No. All right, so BABIP is Badding Average of Balls in Play. So it's on average like 300 and it's the batting average on the balls that you hit not the balls you know like not your regular batting average and if you're about really above 300 or really below 300 it tends to come back and i think the the like it's basically the randomness of the game has been fucking the phillies in the ass oh yeah yeah i'll buy that at least to a point yeah so yes no breaks doesn't make sense when it's a newly dead ball oh yeah there's that whole part too uh fucking league yeah all right yeah uh so this the guy who's who's taking over is rob thompson i don't know if this is going to

make you feel any better but he was gerardi's bench coach from 2008 to 2017 on the Yankees. No, it does not. He was hired by the Phillies in 2018 before Girardi came over, so he was Kapler's bench coach too. And he already did say, and not explicitly, but the way he phrased it was, he's going to be relaxing that bullpen, that bullpen rule. You can't pitch three days in a row. You know,

I think it's like, what does he need to do coming forward? Like, like what does this guy have to do? Get a bullpen. Well, yeah, give him a bullpen, but I have an idea of what he should do tonight, but I want to hear what you think you should do to uh i feel like part of it is you know you gotta see i don't know like i don't know what more you can do with this roster like that's a lot of it is right you know you like the phillies like monetarily and sort of mentally have committed to all gas no brakes right uh so i don't know i mean i think part of it is getting rid of the dumb gerardi bullshit rules yep um i think maybe

moving the batting order around uh getting getting if you can get some cheapo guys who can field a little better i think that might make sense what do you think uh well yeah so i think i think on the on the team side of things like the front office side i think they at the deadline get ejected in his first game well that was going to say i think he needs to get ejected tonight yeah i think he needs to get ejected tonight i think he needs to like that was that was my big issue with gerardi was like with that castellanos that was a castellanos or schwarber and he just was like i didn't think it was worth getting into and it's like no i want oh no alec bohm that was an alec bohm guy thrown out yeah no dude you gotta get in there and be a dog yeah i think you think he's gonna... You gotta do that,

pull the trash can from the dugout and tell the umpire, go to your house. You gotta dump a can of water on them. Throw your hat on the ground. And stomp on them. Do that weird step thing that they do when they're

crushing a bug. Yeah. You gotta get real in whatever thing that they do when they're like they're like it's like they're crushing a bug because yeah you gotta get real in like whoever whatever umpires face say some really like unprintable shit about their mothers yeah like really heinous disturbing graphic stuff yeah uh like like get ask for shohei otani to be like inspected like by the umps like i do a full inspection because he's got something on there and then just go absolute like like crazy you know or maybe if shohei otani i don't know if otani's pitching tonight uh try and get a kung fu uh not kung fu i'm sorry god damn he's karate. Get in a karate match with them. Uh,

yeah, that's also, that's also totally culturally sensitive. Um, you know, uh, go punch Mike Trout. Yo,

fuck up Mike Trout. That would do it. Fuck him up. By the way, did I send you the video of him, uh, playing with his kid? No.

Uh, he, his kids, uh, his kids like probably two years old and he throws the ball and mike's got like a little tiny bat and he just destroys it with one hand and his kid's like daddy's running the pillows he's like that's right dad he's jogging i was like oh dude this dude this dude if we could get him on the philly somehow that'd be amazing that's the attitude it's that uh castellanos getting screwed up for trying to leg out a triple

his wife donald you should have done that castellanos does fuck though like he he he's he's a he i am the happiest about him yeah he he is a dumb boy who just wants to hit ball hard. And he knows it. And he doesn't try and like say, and he's trying so hard, man, to field, but he can't field. No, I don't even care. Like my thing is like, if you can get a short up bullpen,

it doesn't give up like a ton of runs. Like, I don't care if we can field or not, dude. I'm not, I'm not watching Bryce Harper field. I'm watching Bryson Harper slap doggers. Like that's what i'm trying to do yeah and he hit home runs too that's a clown that's a clown answer bro it's clear uh i i think i think we need to to get a center fielder and a guy at the deadline yeah it's a guy in the bullpen um middle to the money but it's nice to hope for things yeah and uh that talks to like who you're going to send away yeah um like there's guys i really

like that we probably should trade bs oskins uh being one of them but um yep all right so like probably the nicest guy on the team. So, yeah, I think it'd be interesting going forward. I mean, it might maybe all it takes is the bullpen not being mismanaged. I think that's a couple of games there. And I maybe not maybe just like there's the sea change. Yeah, it's going to be good for these guys. I don't know. You know what one thing's not

gonna one thing that's not gonna get phillies out of this mess is that they're the only mlb team that has a secure team housing for their minor leaguers that's insulting yeah so the guys are still in hotels and shit they're paying for the hotels but they're still in there are gym housing yeah like come on and then uh i i didn't send you the article but the one guy's like well we didn't like investigate the real estate or no we couldn't find anything you know uh when we did our research like you couldn't find not a thing to turn into you couldn't find anybody okay really uh yeah come on dude all right the last thing i said i'll say about the phillies is uh john john crock had surgery and uh boy are the phillies broadcast bad without him

yeah welcome back john bobby wagner from tipping pitches over on the tipping pitch slack was like phillies fans you guys put up with this he's like i'm watching the phillies commentary it is abysmal it's been 20 seconds of silence i was like yep that sounds about right we suffer like this every day yeah so crucker is back tonight uh from i think he had his pancreas removed so or gallbladder gallbladder so welcome back uh john cruck uh don't don't share cryptocurrency stuff on your twitter account anymore uh that'd be nice uh he doesn't know what it what it means he doesn't know um which by the way i i discovered um saturday night live uh what's his name chris farley did a john crook that was spot one i don't know if you've ever seen that but uh look up look up his john crook impression is literally he gets the voice down like nails it

so uh apparently the phillies were really popular in like 90 in the 90s like nationally so all right all right why don't we change subject to something that you're very happy about and the source of joy for you basketball yeah did we did we cover the sixers loss on the last episode oh it was embarrassing they suck uh the sixers are miserable and putrid um fire doc rivers joy for philadelphia fans uh this is another wasted year uh james harden will never be the player you thought he was going to be it was great fun to watch the did the Sixers win and Sixers Nation Twitter accounts have a meltdown and in news of good teams Boston Celtics man you you try to publish the

trials you trying desperately to get me to root for the Celtics man you you try I'm gonna publish the trial you trying desperately to get me to root for the Celtics you're telling me I'd be like rooting for the Cowboys yeah it is I'm not rooting for the fucking Celtics at least the Warriors used to be in Philly I guess yeah I'm not rooting with a racist ass logo I'm not rooting for either i i hope they all die uh yeah that's something logo might as well just say it's okay to be white over it honestly uh every time i look at that logo i'm just like god damn it man all right so the celtics sent home the Brooklyn Nets in four. They set home the Bucks in seven. They set home Jimothy Butler in the Heat in seven. And they won game one last night.

That's what happens when you... Game two. When you draft... It was game one. I thought it was game two. I thought they were up two. Game one. Game one.

1-0 Celts. Yeah, so it feels good to root for a team with a future they out warrior the warriors uh yeah uh al horford has started to has apparently decided that he can just play hero ball whenever he wants now he just he's like i have two dicks now and uh yeah he's he's amazing man man. Holy shit. How the fuck? How did we not get that out? How we're fitting while he was in Philly?

You know, that's that's been fun to to see. I think I think I think he was a fucking like sleeper agent. He's clearly a Celtic. Brad Stevens slept in. His wife loves Boston. Yeah. And she hated Philly. She hated Philly. But it's cool, man.

It's really good to see the sentence, Marcus Smart is in the NBA Finals brings me great joy because I love undersized dudes who are the most dudes like Pat Bev. Pat Bev woke up

on national television for national TV at 445 to just start calling Chris Paul a fraud. Love that shit. We do love a short king. Well, at least undersized king.

Marcus Smart's 6'3", but yeah. Right, for basketball reasons. we do love it we do love a short king uh well at least undersized king market smart six three but yeah well uh right for basketball reasons relatively speaking it's it is i i do want to talk about the sixers for a second sure i hate i hate everybody i this is it you gotta blow up the fucking team we gotta got to do a process again? Not a process, but like, you got to trade everybody. Not Embiid. Embiid is the only untouchable player

on the Sixers. Maybe Tyrese Maxey. I don't think you got to. I think you got to blow up the team. I don't think you got to blow it up. Blow up the team. Blow up the team. I think you gotta blow up the team i i don't think you gotta blow it up blow up the team blow up the trigger baby i think you gotta trade tobias you gotta trade tobias probably gotta trade matisse hope to god maybe you can trade harden matisse uh get rid of him yeah i'm done with him dumbass yeah you're natural yeah yeah yeah go get covid and shit your pants and talk to me about like natural

healing nonsense twice get them twice fuck get get your get your fucking crystals yeah poop chair all the poop chair sit in the poop chair and then and then have someone send you the emergency room because you think you have a blood clot in your fucking lungs uh i don't by the way that's's why I'm alive. So yeah Yeah, I guess I guess I guess I mean I sign Andre and say yes Is that the free agent though? I don't know these got like one year left. I Don't know what you devolve dissolved DeAndre Jordan into a vat of acid. Oh he's he's not coming back uh gate drumming back uh trade hardened for for curry yes and and maybe send tobias up there too um and i don't i don't know i think i think that's something too like once once the season's over

we can really talk more about like shit are they gonna fucking some re-sign harden or what like it's they are but not to the max yeah you can't sign a max he he's not worth the max anymore he's he's not the same player he was no um yeah but you know what you know what is looking good this is the this is the fucking fool's errand of sport phil being a philadelphia sports fan you know who is looking good who might be good the birds birds the birds uh yeah man i mean if they can stay healthy and they can shore up that o-line a little bit yeah they can make a run hell yeah uh james bradbury signed well yeah we signed it for abridy we've been drafting well uh somebody i assume put a gun to howie rosen's head and said all right asshole that's quite enough

um yeah yeah they draft most of our weaknesses like you know the long lines part they address part they just and and they are trying to do it in a way that's smart they're you know they made a good trade for aj brown yep without giving up the ghost without giving up the farm i thought that was a really good move yeah uh the division's gonna be shit again because the cowboys keep pooping their pants the giants Giants poop their pants. Everyone on Washington is dead or has a civil suit against them. Eagles win the division.

Eagles lose the NFC Championship, calling it right here. We're going back to the 3-4 maybe? Yeah. I'm not the world's biggest fan of 3-4 but no we're going to get real weird and play 2-3-2 it makes sense

alright we're getting and on offense we're doing a Notre Dame box yeah you guys know how Navy does this right that's what we're doing and by Navy I mean Navy in the 40s. No, it hasn't changed. Navy 40s, Navy now.

Three running backs, man. Navy does not care. Navy's going to Navy, baby. Yeah, they actually have a play called Blue 42. Did you see the nepotism?

I want to punch Lurie in the face too.

Lurie, by all accounts, as politics of an owner go, is actually pretty good. He's a pretty lib. He's a lib. I'm saying as an owner goes. When our turn comes, we shall

not make excuses for the terror. Well, I mean, he'll only have to do 20 years of hard labor as opposed to 400. Jerry Jones is doing 400. We're going to revive him and bring him back. Every time he dies, he's like,

no, back to salt mines for you, bud. We don't even need salt mines. We keep... That's all shit. That's just all automated. Human body is basically a potato clock. Yeah. Oh, fuck. But actually, no, the worst will be Dan Snyder.
