He is actually going to eject a fan. Because bad things happen in Philadelphia, bad things. The fan jumped into the penalty box area. Joy doesn't come to Philadelphia and stand here and dodge an ice ball. We, the Dallas Cowboys, have a sense of John Cooney. We are live. We are recording. Hello.

Solemn today, I think. Yeah. Yeah, I think solemn is the mood and the sort of uh i don't know how to say it like the do you have a feeling that like this is this is it that like the window has closed like this is the end yeah for in the end are you are you kind of getting those vibes because those are the vibes i'm getting um i i kind of and i think you think what really indicates the end is the end of an era.

One of the best players to ever put on a Sixers uniform, certainly. One of the best to ever do. I'm going to ring the bell one last time. Yeah, Pat Bev got traded. Oh, I was going to say Fork on Corkmoss. Oh, yeah.

Oh, God. He's finally out. He's gone. He's finally made it out. Yeah, he's free. You are free now. He woke up this morning for some reason. He was dreaming of a field of grass in a sunrise. The sun was on his back he's in elysium he's been released released from

being the you know the 13th man the 12th man never saw never saw a shot he didn't like dude never shot yeah never saw a shot he never saw an opportunity for a Eurostep layup that would inevitably bounce off. More than five years after his initial trade request. Yeah, he has finally been traded. So, shouts out to a real Turkish national hero. Better than Enes Kanter. That's true so I look forward to when Forky goes back home and runs

office god knows what on some party called like you know the people's liberation party and it's when you look it up on Wikipedia it's ideology big tent anti-kurd this is the two ideologies um and yeah oh and then pro-tyranism too of course

yeah of course just weird shit some language theory um dude i i what i was asking you i think before we went to air before we went to air, before we went to air, like, this is professional, it's not just bullshitting. Yeah. Do you get the feeling that this is the front office panicking and just, like, we don't know what to fucking do? It's not this year, and it sort of feels like the window's closed a little bit here. I feel like they might be panicking because of Embiid.

I had the same thought. Because why move Pat Bev? Pat Bev was a good six man. In exchange for a guy who's worse. Yeah. In exchange for my cousin Cam

Pain? Cameron Pain. Yeah, he's my cousin. These are the Memphis Pains. They were like fourth cousins, like thrice removed or some shit like that um yeah absolutely um yeah it fucking

feels odd um I don't think I like Daryl Morey I'm kind of tired of his like I'm a genius and you're all morons sort of like 8 dimensional chess bullshit

yeah I mean he's better than Elton Brand in the committee that they had right that's not exactly difficult is it Nick Nurse seems legit as a coach so Pat Babb being reunited with his best friend doc rivers

yeah um i uh yeah it feels it feels odd i mean it feels like the window's closed that's what i keep thinking some people were saying know, this might open up for us to get Kyle Lowry on the buyout market, which he's like not as good as Pat Bev. Right. You know, so maybe he'll do better being able to commute using the Broad Street line. Also, they traded Jaden Springer to the Boston Celtics. Yeah. they traded jayden springer to the boston celtics yeah for a second rounder which like he's a first round pick from two years ago and you're already shortening the rotation that much like this seems to be like a front office in in panic mode i just can't stop shaking that like this front office has

no fucking idea what they're doing and it's just like hitting all the buttons to try to just not have the bottom fall out without Embiid. Yeah, and we did trade for Buddy Heald. Who's fine. Who's fine. No, he's a good three-point shooter. Just the Pat Bevan doesn't make sense, and Springer doesn't make too much sense. If you're going to stock up on picks, try and get it first. Right, right. We're out second round picks. Whatever. It's not our money,

but it's frustrating to see the dumb bullshit, I would say. I don't know. Time will tell. We'll see what happens. We don't know. This is the Maury magic.

You want to talk about Embiid dying? We don't know. I mean, but like, this is the Maury, Maury magic. Mm. I don't know. Yeah. You want to talk about him? P the dying. Um, well, I guess before we do that, uh,

we should say hello. No, fuck him. Hello. Hello. No, I did that in Italian already. I'm not doing that again.

Oh, cool. you, you all, stop it stop it uh well there's your problem i don't know what episode translates in old english well done um two is two that's easy i don't know what the data data would for episode, because that's clearly a loan from French. Right.

if you got a dumb take of the week or anything like that yeah we need them dumb takes we need them dumb takes yeah alright yeah so back to the Sixers we were talking about and Bede we're in free fall now Bede's out oh we're in free fall yeah that's the only

way to put it uh six to eight weeks yeah what are their what are they in their last uh four and eight without yeah yeah we went from like what like 27 and 10 to like 30 and 20 losers Losers are the last three. Three and seven. That's tough, dude. It's a beat. Six to eight weeks, I believe, is the timeline. Probably, yeah. His meniscus repaired.

It sucks, dude. It's really tough. Genuinely. I mean, it does. He was having an MVP caliber year. Right. And just to go down like that and, like, just not have anything, to, like, not have anything in the tank and just, like, rely on, like, Tyrese Maxey, who is, you know, a great kid and a very good, talented player.

Yeah, he's turning into an excellent player. Yeah, exactly. I mean, we're not missing James Harden much, which I didn't think was going to be fucking possible. Like, you know, the Clippers are starting to you know do well but like james harden i don't know james harden's a locker room cancer i maybe that's an insensitive phrase but he's he's he's he just does this to teams everywhere he goes and i don't know why probably some sort of deep sense of uh dissatisfaction and and i don't know why probably some sort of deep sense of uh dissatisfaction and fulfillment i don't know yeah otherwise why do people do anything

that's a good question you know exactly um and at least in la you know there's probably the strip clubs already filled into the it's probably in the contract, honestly. Which is good for him. Get the bag. In 20 years, you've got your hardened rights, which means you get the... First refusal on strip clubs and shit, yeah. Champagne room access to every

nightclub in the country. Hell yeah. Why not, man? Yeah. Yeah, so I don't know what the plan is. I also don't know what the plan is.

I mean, Pat Bev was like a locker room guy too. He's the kind of dude you want to rally with the people. To get everyone, not Andre Drummond, who I'm thinking of, DeAndre Jordan. kind of rally to get everyone like because they did you know andre not andre drummond um you know who i'm thinking of uh it's on the deandre jordan yeah deandre jordan on the nuggets contributing like very few minutes but like a steady veteran presence like it's just it's just

really frustrating that like mori just seems to be wheeling and dealing for the sake of wheeling and dealing like not making the team better in any way, shape, or form. Again, maybe that's just my bias, but it doesn't feel that way. It feels like I'm right. Yeah. This morning, the Buddy Hill trail, I was like, all right, cool. Like, that looks good. Good three-point shooter.

Like, that'll show up. Pat Beverly? Why? But nothing, you know, yeah. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe they do yeah i don't know i don't know maybe they know something we don't know um i mean if you get kyle lowry not kyle yeah kyle lowry um yeah if you get if if if right i mean that i mean that would be like a replacement i guess yeah um we'll see what happens. The future seems cloudy. I'm not going to say dark.

Cloudy. I don't have a ton of confidence. And this all just broke us today as we're recording this on the 8th. Right. Yeah, hopefully they can... Trading a first rounder to Boston. My beloved and hated boston celtics

yeah i don't i feel like that that's something like that's going to come back on us yeah he's going to turn out to be like jason tatum too and we're just going to have gotten bit because we couldn't develop him properly and you're trading second round so i'd love to get like like like the fourth to the last pick in the draft turns out the celtics are good at basketball yeah so like why not i'd send them to someone who sucks at least you can get something that's like maybe it's the 34th pick right right maybe it's like i mean i at the same time the nba draft is so top heavy that it may not matter. Right?

Just because, like I just said, yeah, it's so top-heavy because you get, like, the first overall, the lottery picks, and then, like, 5-15. It's kind of crazy to me that the draft is only, like, 60 players for how much, like, D1 basketball alone is played. Yeah, and they used to have a lot deeper of a draft back in the day. It's just... I don't know, man. I'm just really frustrated with Maury in the front office right now. Not to get all rights to Ricky Sanchez

on it, but... Maybe by the time this comes out, we'll have a better understanding of what's going on. Probably not, though. Yeah, probably not. So, as of today, Sixers, where are we looking at the standings? We lost to the Warriors last night.

We're fifth. And it's not a, you know, a couple more losses, and we're fifth um and it's not a you know a couple more a couple more losses and we're we're sliding like yeah we're sliding free fall is the word free fall yeah i could you could easily with a couple more losses like if you go another three and seven you know now you're at the you're in the bottom third right right and like being in fifth dropping down from fifth it's gonna be harder to do but like it's still a matter of like i don't know i like playing the celtics as like a guarantee is is tough dude doesn't help the the knicks are good this year too too. Right, and the Knicks just got better, too. Yeah, yeah.

They got Bojan Bogdanovic. Yeah, who's genuinely very good. Yeah, that's... I already think that people are going to... We got the winners and losers. Right. People are talking about it. I already think that the Sixers are going to be considered losers i think so too i mean go ahead now you go no i just like like i

said the i i've sort of not that i like i've been skeptical of this front office for a while yeah but you know i just uh i i feel very skeptical now. Yeah. Apparently Patrick Beverly's trade was live streamed on his podcast. Which is pretty funny. That is... Also grim. Yeah, that's very funny. I just... I don't know, man.

I'm frustrated, I guess. I don't really have words for it. This feeling that I can't shake. That this is the end. Yeah. The window's closing. Right. Do you trade Embiid

if next year it doesn't work? I mean... Get the boy a ring. Who's the franchise? He's's gonna have to stick it he's gonna have to stick it us with us down here i do you think they're like i think they might be trying to tank with him with him hurt not really just because like we we put up with five years of tanking like i don't even know who would like the n NBA draft this year is, besides a couple dudes, not great. Yeah.

You know, it's... A guy from Colorado is supposed to be really good, but they're not going to get... Even if they don't win another game, they're not going to get the top pick. Right. Right, right, right. And I think... I don't know. know i as a fan would just like never go to another sixers game but they basically came out and said yeah we're tanking

like i you know when the eagles did it what in doug peterson's last season i like lost a lot of respect for them as an organization where it was just like you play to win the game you don't play to like it's like oh this is more strategic it's like well you're not a fucking gm like that's why you're sitting here at the bar with me yeah like if you had like a like a real bad season and if you have a real bad season and you shut it down like if the sixers were like already like 18 and like 32 i'd be like if you want to shut him be down i get it yeah right yeah save him for next year right because especially because especially with his injury history and this and that and the third thing, totally get that.

But what I don't get is the, we're making these moves that just seem frantic. Yeah, yeah. And it was all like, we had the Buddy Hill trade in the morning and then right before the deadline, it was a bunch of stuff. Yeah.

And I was like, there's no time for them to follow up with anything else. Is this it? Is this really it? I'm very underwhelmed. I'm also very underwhelmed. It's February. It's like the worst month. Yeah. Oh, that's seasonal depression, baby.

Yeah. I think I'd say the sun the last couple days has been nice. Yeah. Oh, that's seasonal depression, baby. Yeah. I think I'd say the sun the last couple of days has been nice. Yeah. I think we're looking in. Let's see. And you're like me. You do like the colder weather. I like the cold, but I don't love the weather.

Cold with sun. Right. Exactly. Yeah. I think it's supposed to. Oh, on Monday, that's always fun. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know.

Any other thoughts on this whole thing? No. There's only so much, like, you can say, like, at this stage, like, where it just happened today. Hopefully, our sort of prognosticating and this sort of, like, uncertainty uh won't maybe we're wrong we're just being being uh sandras i don't know yeah maybe i don't think that that's what's happening i think we're we're about to get butt fucked but you're like yeah i i just don't think

we've ever said butt fucked on this podcast before I don't think so You never know when you're going to need the word Yeah What the fuck did someone say today? Oh I said the word cockney And I got looks from my students What did you say? I said cockney

What's that? East London Morons Stop it Stop it I was reading I read shit In class and I actually have to get their attention That's funny

Yeah it does work Shit Do we want to dip into the To the The fucking shithead discourse? Yeah, we can dip into the shithead discourse. And I'll put a... We'll just say, hey, look. We'll try and not be as in-depth about this.

We're going to talk about the Carter Hart thing a little more. Just some, like, recap. We talked at length about it last time we recorded. We talked about it for, like time we recorded. We talked about it for like 25 minutes. We did. And of course, you're going to be seeing bad taste. Chud discourse. Chud discourse.

Chud discourse. Because I guess their hashtag believe men. Yeah. It was like, just ignore it. No, just disagree with people who accuse you of violent crime. Yeah. Like, no,

it's not possible that the woman could be correct. I, I, yeah, it's, and the people who are just like, Oh, well,

like, you know, it isn't, it's like, yeah, but that doesn't mean he needs to be playing hockey. Right until proven guilty that's true um but you know there was enough evidence to charge him a crime okay and that's so i mean that's that and uh he doesn't need to play let me say this he doesn't need to play hockey anymore in this fucking team. Right. Or at all. I don't care.

I don't care about sports that bad. Sorry. No. I mean, the Flyers stink. They're also a free fall now that they don't have a goalie. Good. I think we're up next. That's somebody who often does not like the Flyers and does not cheer for them as a rule.

Yeah. We just got to get wide guys. often does not like the Flyers and does not cheer for them as a rule. Yeah, I'm going... We just got to get wide guys. Just put wide guys in the goal. I don't know if there's anything particularly handy. I try to avoid hockey Twitter. Yeah, it leaked out

of containment. It's gross. Right, it is. Speaking of sexual assault types uh trevor bauer has no contract and people were tweeting at him i saw that yeah uh yo uh why don't you go to the phillies and they have reached out. And he's like, anybody else reach out to you? No. No one is reaching out. No one wants you on your team.

No one wants this. Because you suck, too. You also fucking suck. You suck. Right, exactly. Oh, I'm sure some shithead team would. The Rangers would be great. That would be great.

Oh, they'd love him. Yeah. Or the Tampa Bay Rays. But, hmm. Mm-hmm. We don't want you, dude. You're cancer and you suck. So you got both of those. You gotta be also good, apparently, for the ghouls that run the league

to be okay with you being on the team. Yeah. You can only be a certain level of evil. Yeah. Fuck all that shit. Wanda Um, like fuck all that. Where are you at? Fuck that dude. Um,

fucking awful. Um, I, I like the, my, my, my wife made a new friend at the gym. Who's very,

very Philly. Yeah. So, so I met her, uh, went to the gym. We were talking about sports and she's like, uh,

who are we talking about? We were talking about one of the's like Who are we talking about We were talking about one of these guys Wander Franco came up And she goes of course it's always these fucking guys With crosses on their fucking necks I was like yeah that's right These guys they use their religion To hide their

They hide behind their faith I was worried about a really bad take For a second and I'm glad that oh i know yeah because i wasn't sure i wasn't sure i was really glad because like i couldn't figure out where she where she stood in politics and you know there's there's enough chuds at my gym i wouldn't be shocked um she's she's cool she's the right guy, she's the kind that was like very Catholic. Out of Fort Richmond. Yeah. Her parish priest was a diddler.

And was like, fuck this. I'm pulling all my kids out of Catholic school. Fuck that shit. They fucking don't care. For her. So she's one of those. And usually when someone's like that, those Catholics usually had their head in the right place to begin with. Right.

So, yeah, fuck that shit. But I fucking hate the Catholic Church. But Pope Francis is all right. It's like, all right. I can respect it. I'll get. I respect that. Yeah, that's kind of where I'm at, too.

So I just wait for Pope Francis, like right before he dies. He sits ex cathedra and he's like, OK, here's the real thing. Here's the Vatican three. Vatican III, baby! Vatican III, unilaterally. I am the vicar of Christ. Okay, so priests can get married. Gay people go to heaven. Atheists go to heaven.

Basically, anyone who's good goes to heaven. Hell is empty. He said that. He said something to that effect that I thought was very sweet. He's like don't know what hell looks like but i you know i hope that it's empty yeah that's very sweet yeah go ahead yeah like the idea that like it's not eternal damnation that like in the catholic well like in the in the in the catholic sort of doctrine, it's – I mean, some Christians believe this is like – it's not – the ultimate punishment isn't hell. It's being permanently separated from God for eternity. I think I'm a slayer show. use to use a tolkien term cast out cast out into the unending void through the doors of night

um which is the fate of morgoth after they finally get their hands on him he's literally like cast no you can never come back to the circles of the world you're cast out of the void for a turn and it's sort of like tolkien's like like cribbing from catholic theology um thanks for nothing, C.S. Lewis. Yeah. Oh, dude. Did I ever? I'm rambling here. It does not matter. We have we got a lot. We got a lot of juice.

So when I turned 21, my Pentecostal side, my aunt, she they they brought me beer for my 21st which was nice because i mean they still fucking drink but the they brought me the screw tape letters oh god have you ever read those yeah i have and i've read mere christianity on top of it oh you who gave you all this christian apology jesus i was just interested in it yeah i mean no i mean uh the idea the idea behind the screw tape letters is interesting but i was like this is because they you know oh you're like an atheist i was and i was like my angry atheist phase like i was very anti-theist at the time and um i believe i did end up throwing them in the trash um at at the party nice good for you man yeah it's like nah fuck this but i'll take the beer that's because that's 21st birthday fucking buy me a beer i don't you don't need to fucking preach a religion to me it's something it's something i had made that choice out of fucking you know

it wasn't it wasn't a rational choice it was a logical thought out one right right i got you yeah um yeah fucking cs lewis um all right we start tolkien podcast we talk about tolkien for the next 30 minutes i'm not even opposed to it at this point but um what did george jr talking what does he say on sports let's look up his letters okay let's not look up his life oh do you know do you know what was so people were people were on the tolkien fans read it which is actually pretty decent bar for for discussion we're going what do you think tolkien would have liked led zeppelin they They're like, fuck. No.

No? No. Maybe some of their folky stuff. Yeah, that's what I was saying. Yeah, not like they wouldn't have liked Black Dog. No, no, no. But their weird folky. Like Bronny Orr or something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Going to California maybe. But Battle for Evermore he might have liked. Yes. Because that was very medieval sounding. Yes, he, oh, Battle Forevermore he might have liked. Yes. Because that was like very medieval sounding. Yes. He would have liked

Battle Forevermore. Oh, yeah, that's my favorite. Leave that in my heart. That's my favorite Zeppelin song? Yeah.

But also, like, I'm not shocked by that, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Not to hurt your feelings, but Jesus Christ. That's in the dark night. But Jesus Christ christ am i not surprised by that yeah no um oh god that song's so fucking sick um but uh did you oh you have to look up the version where they have um because what's her name uh she died um the woman who uh she was a folk singer what was her name uh not narrowing it down for me bud so she was a uh sandy denny so she died she she was like a classic case of like borderline like untreated borderline

personality so she would like she would throw herself downstairs for like attention right and she felt she'd throw herself off of a bar stool onto a concrete floor and never like recovered consciousness oh yeah can't do that shit um but so when they toured they they didn't have anyone sing the sing that you know the high notes that she sung right so they had john bottom do it oh who can't sing the drummer so it's like instead of like that high pitch dance in the dark that's like, instead of like that high-pitched dance in the dark, that's like... Dance in the dark night. And he's like very quiet. It's like, you couldn't have hired someone to do that. Robert Plant...

You guys have more money than God, right? Yeah, like Robert Plant, like maybe he does that because he gets a high note. Like have him do it and then like someone else. Maybe have John Bonham sing the Robert Plant part. I don't know. Fucking do something. Get a guest singer. Right, right, right, right um but uh anyway i digress so we we do digress so we find out that tolkien's he was he was like a

no shock drag classical music board oh of course yeah so that's what he liked that like some folk he liked ballads like like folk tunes. Right. I can't say that I'm shocked by that. That's shit. So, Cats Through the Door at Night, that's how we got to there. Christianity, C.S. Lewis, Pope. Trying to trace our steps. Well, speaking of the Pope, how about the Super Bowl that will already be played by the time this is out?

Yeah, who cares, man? Do you give, do you give a shit at all about this game? No, no, me either. I do. You know,

you guys aren't doing anything. Cause normally you get like, yo, let's, we went and watch the game. Yeah. We're not doing anything. No.

Anything. Yeah. Um, my brother didn't ask me. I don't think anyone, I don't know anyone who's doing anything. No, I just don't care. I, I think it... I don't know anyone who's doing anything. No, I just don't care. I think it might be

a good game. I think it'll be a good game. Although, like, I just... It's also one of those things where I don't believe that, like... I just don't have a ton of insight into how these teams will play each other. I'm hoping

the only result that I'll like is a 49-48 absolute fucking bloodbath shootout in which both quarterbacks are fired into the sun. Yeah. Oh, that would be kind of... Yeah, I'd like that. Both quarterbacks hurt. They have to bring in their backups.

I would love for Patrick Mahomes to actually be knocked out of a game. Yeah, well, we thought it was happening last year, and then it wasn't. I know. Is that bad? I should wish that. I don't hate Patrick Mahomes. He annoys me. He annoys me, too.

I don't hate the guy. I guess I'm just like, I find him very cheesy in a way that like. He is a cornball. Yeah. Yeah, in a way that like can be endearing, but to me it's not. Because like being the most dominant athlete in your sport at any given time and then being cheesy on top of it, it's just a recipe for me to hate you.

Yeah. I, he seems like a nice guy. Like he seems fine. Like I, he seems, doesn't seem like a, he's probably a decent dude.

Like he doesn't seem like nothing's come out about him or anything like that. Um, he is very good. He is very good. I mean, He doesn't seem like nothing's coming out about him or anything like that. He is very good. He is very good. I mean, he's terrific at his sport. He's more likable than Tom Brady. He's the best active quarterback.

Not hard. He has a personality. But I think what it is is the same way I feel about The Rock, which is just like oversaturation is the number one way to make me hate you. And he's on too many commercials. He's on too many commercials. It's like Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift. At this point, I'm sick of seeing them.

Yeah, I don't care. I mean, you know me. I like Taylor Swift, but even I'm just like, all right, that's enough. I'm just bored. I'm just bored. And it does feel sort of like, yeah, of course it was going to go this way. I mean, yeah, they're the best teams, I guess.

Like, okay. I don't care. I don't know if anyone's actually excited outside these two fan bases. No, no one gives a shit. There's no underdog aspect. There's no scrappy aspect. You know.

It's just like, yep. If you put a gun to my head, I guess I'd say I'd rather the Chiefs win. Yeah. I find the Niners absolutely extremely unlikable. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'll always love Andy Reid, and I'd rather he gets another ring. Yeah, I guess.

Yeah. It's just like, eh. I don't care one way or the other, but by the skin of my teeth, I'd rather the Chiefs win than the Niners feel any joy. Yeah. I don't want the Chiefs to win, but i do want the niners to lose yes yeah yeah i agree with that i mean we're saying that in the fucking about the fucking world series right like i didn't hate backs but um i wanted the fucking rangers to lose right right that's exactly how i feel i don't wanted to root for the Diamondbacks to win.

I wanted the Rangers to lose. Right. Yeah. It's like, because my thing I usually do is I'll go get a beer from each of the teams I'm rooting for for their cities. It's like, I ain't even doing that.

I don't know. Who's in Kansas City? Boulevard? Yeah, Boulevard's good. I haven't even doing that. Boulevard? Who's in Kansas City? Boulevard? Boulevard. Yeah, Boulevard's good. I haven't got Boulevard in a minute. Anchor's not anything anymore. Gotta get like 21st Amendment or something. Oh yeah, 21A. Which I don't even know if they distribute

out here anymore. I haven't seen them in a minute. But I'll just get fucking Sierra Nevada. It's Northern California. Why not? There you go. Good enough. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I'm not i maybe i'm a beer boomer now i guess like that's like the epitome to me of a good beer like american style drinkable beer yeah no i mean i'll buy that uh i yeah we can do beer chat i mean we're not doing anything else uh but uh my my thing is like i i really do prefer two-hearted but like i'll accept this here i'll see i think i still prefer torpedo okay love a torp it's it's great it's great no i like it it's a little um i mean it's i i it's a little too much

on the full body side of things although it's remarkably dry for its for its gravity right um i i do like that more moorishness is how they call it in the uk that feels yeah you want to drink more i like that um to me for an american beer that's that's the gold standard to me is the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. But I could say, too hard it would be up in the pantheon there. It would be in the top ten. But what was I going to say? That's fine. There's a couple of Belgian cafe ales, I think.

If you wanted to pick an everyday drinking style, it would be a Belgian cafe blonde. Sure sure but it's just hard to get fresh or or a good bitter good thing i like the warm beer you do i know this about you actually i have so much grain in my face probably brew part of me is like like i have like 45 pounds of jesus and i'm I haven't brewed in a while. I think it's still within code. Shit. Did I fucking brew again? Yeah, why not? I got a bunch of hops in the freezer too.

They're in the deep freezers. They're good. Oh, nice. Yeah. Alright. So we don't care. Dude, we're at 40 minutes. Oh, we limped it it we limped it so uh we might be sad about sports this is like yeah this is sad boy hours man i want to get amped up for a second all right i want everyone else to get amped up all right because you know

what happens and let's see what day is todayth? Probably by the time you're listening to this. That's right. That's right. You're listening to 69.9 FM, Over the Rock. And we've got the Baseball Boys coming up soon. I don't know, I can't do a DJ thing. I've got to keep talking until the lyrics start. I figure out what they call it.

Oh, we really don't care about copyright infringement. This is parody. Fair use. I can barely hear you. Alright. What if we just ended that? That was the end of the podcast.

We just went out singing that. That's right, guys. Guys, gals, non-binary pals. It's baseball time. You're here for one goddamn specific reason. Jeff, fuck off! Ah, you're full of shit. Fuck you. I forgot that one.

Yeah, that's right. Ready to go. Earl Weaver. If you've never watched the Earl Weaver, you're just here to fuck us. Oh, yeah. Well, fuck you. He says something there, too. It's like you're going to fuck us in the World Series? Ah, well, you weren't going to win that one anyway.

Like, what the fuck are you talking about? Brutal. Oh, it is such a good back and forth. Yeah, Earl Weaver, Baltimore legend. One of the foulest mouth coaches in the league. Two to have ever been in the sport of baseball. But I digress yet again. That's right.

Pitchers and Catchers report on February the 13th. The Phillies running it back. Literally. We have almost the exact same team that we had at the end of the year. How are you feeling about the fightings? Bad. You're feeling bad? Dude, make a move.

Do something. Do they need to make a move? Okay. Yeah. Let me see. You're the middle reliever. Yes. Well, okay. So the bullpen may be not that great. They, okay. So the bullpen may be not that great. They were talking.

Although we made it to the World Series with the bullpen that wasn't that great. It was all gas, no brakes. Listen, Johan Rojas breakout year. Let's call it right now. Yeah, book it. Book it. Book it. Book it.

Phillies are your 2024 World Series champions. We're going to say it now. We don't care. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. Lock it in. Put your bets in now on draftfucks.com.

Yeah. Whatever we're calling it. Dot co.ly. Dot zip.jpg.thisone.final. Yes. Yeah. Dot exe. Yeah.zip.jpg.thisone.final dot exe. You go to c slash documents slash not porn and open that exe in there and run it in administrator mode.

You got to do that. I used to have a folder for work that was called top secret. Do not look. What was in there? It was it was it was, I think, just nothing but like bad code samples. Oh, nice. Yeah, that's. I wonder if like if I did that, like don't top secret folder, don't look and they'll be like like all right well you need to bring your computer in for maintenance um yeah and then it's just like various photos of you

with like your wife cropped out he's got pictures of me but i've got like educator of the year yeah right things you aspire to i'm shaking governor shapiro's hand with a gold medal around my neck. You have to explain that to them. It's just like, listen, man, we all have dreams. It's my vision board. Yeah, fucking Biden stabbed me for

Department of Education. Oh, if you're listening, I will serve in the Department of Education, but I'm not Secretary of Education. Yeah, please. I'm not Secretary of Education. I'm the education czar. Oh, yes, yes, yes.

The education commissariat. We're bringing back the Reckons. Generalissimo. I'm turning the Department of Education into a uniformed service. Teachers are going to get... I'm nationalizing education, first off. We're done with school districts. It's not anymore.

We're nationalizing education. Teachers are going to have dress blues. Oh, okay. Yeah. All right, so... No, that's fine, honestly. So if you're a really good teacher, you're going to the sustained service award like when you read some shit like that um you're gonna have sick uniforms um okay i think you'll be eligible for uh usaa because you'll be a uniformed service corps yeah yeah

you'll you'll get that um you'll get the gi bill um i actually know someone whose mom was in the NOAA Corps, and that's how they have USAA. Nice. Because it's members of the armed services and the uniformed corps. But anyway, I digress. This should be the name of the fucking episode. I digress. What are we digressing? I'm digressing from the digression.

Baseball. That's what we're talking about. Baseball. The fight in Philz. Bryce Harper, first base. MVP season. Yeah, why not? Book it. OPS of 1.1. 1.2. Fuck it.

1.2. Why not, man? OPS plus of 200. Babe Ruth numbers. Yeah. He's going to call a shot. Ted Williams shit. Ted Williams. Trey Turner's going to hit 400 Why not We're fucked man

All gas no brakes We're with this team to the end Kyle Schwarber's going to be the first ever Gold Glove winner at DH Yeah we're going for it We're going for it. We're going for it. Fucking. Push all the chips in, baby.

They're talking about the Phillies might have been in talks with Cleveland to get Emmanuel Classe as a closer. Who is disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. So watch this space. You'll know. Ten days after we do. Yeah. That'll be a nice surprise.

I don't know. We'll see. Painters. Painters not going to come up this year. Maybe we'll see a Griff McGarry or Mick Abel. Right. I don't know. I think running it back.

If you think about the team at the end of the year from post-All-Star break, if they had that pace, they would have been a 100-win team. Yeah. So running it back actually is like a pretty decent idea. One hopes. As long as we don't start off the year like we did last year. Right, right, right. You know,

I hope Nick Cassiano isn't being affected by the Adderall and Vyvanse shortage. Yeah, we'll have to divert the resources to him. Sending him my prescription. Get well soon, Nick. Yeah.

Is this year two of those guys' contract? Him and Schroeder year three. I think this will be year three. It will be year three. So they've got two years left. But I mean, out of all the GMs in the

area, I've got to say Dombrowski I have the most faith in. More so than Howie. I'll buy that. I think the changes that Dombrowski made, especially on the level of farm, the farm system, of basically gutting the people who were responsible for the shit product for the last 10 years. Making good decisions. Seems like

I'm thinking positively. We're going all the way. World Series. We're going to start a new World Series 2 where we play Japan. They're going to win there. I am kind of sad, though. There's no World Baseball Classic for two more years.

That's a bummer. Yeah, every three years. And that was a really nice way of starting off the season last year. Because we had baseball to watch in February. That was meaningful. Right. Or, yeah, February. In the March, too. Yeah so uh what are we like for like at this time recording like 48 47 days away from opening day so it'll be it'll

be baseball season here you know I'll have something to watch uh while we record um yeah Phillies are playing in London this year um which i we looked into like maybe doing a trip there yeah or that yeah it's a little too much so um i'll tell you about travel plans after uh yeah yeah yeah um so uh any other thoughts on any sports?
