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 ice balls. We, the Dallas Cowboys, had assassinated John Kennedy. Hello. Hello. Hello.

Welcome to another episode of 10,000 Losses. Hello. Hello. Hello. Welcome to another episode of 10,000 Losses, the only Philadelphia sports podcast that exists. That's right. We have achieved singularity. Yeah. Every other Philadelphia sports podcast has merged under our banner. All houses have declared allegiance to us. Well're very happy to take on bleeding green nation. Yeah, we have.

We have raised the Kensington Liberation Battalion flag. And we are coming for you, Villanova, who lost last night. Good. Yeah. To my beloved Connecticut Huskies. So I, I, it's really funny because I was watching the game and I'll, I'll be honest with you. Villanova took like a four point lead with 35 seconds left. And I like turned it off in anger and then turned it back on.

But yeah, Villanova missed part of a one-on-one, then turned it over, then Connecticut hit a three, and then made a steal and scored and ended up winning it. And I am just here to say, like, I remember when it was going around, like when the Eagles had won the Super Bowl and Temple had just won the ncaa tournament and there is a story maybe the inquirer posted but i don't think it was it's like is philly the

new title town it's like no no no no what do you know about our history sorry uh villanova isn't actually in philly guys no it's not and speaking speaking of Philadelphia and Philadelphia sports podcasts, I'm your host, Tom Payne, and my pronouns are he and him. And with me is my co-host, yay. Liam. Yay, Liam. That's my whole name. And my pronouns are also he and him. And you just got so excited about shitting on Villanova that you went off before we shared our name. How's anyone going to know who's who? They're just going to have to guess. I don't know. Get a dartboard.

Yeah. Just throw down. Well, they're probably saying, well, who's this sensual new voice on the podcast? It sounds like caramel and chocolate melted together in a milkshake full of whey protein powder. I do it for the gains yes i have a unironically told myself that in the past bulking season oh it's oh it's always bulking season here on 10k i should i should oh man uh well I want to say thanks to John from Pittsburgh, because this fucking yinzer gifted the podcast a whole new setup for me.

John from Pittsburgh has cred. He tried to start, I believe, a podcast to unionize Uber, and it didn't work. So he gave me the money. Not the money. He gave me all the shit this was like five years ago so uh noble effort there john for pittsburgh we salute you and uh unionize uber yeah but yeah and uh you know i i don't know i'm full of weird feelings today. I have a feeling of liminality because now that we record on Wednesdays and, well, there's your problem comes out.

So I'm listening to the banter shit talk section of, well, there's your problem on the way home. That is what we call it. Yeah. And I guess that is liminal space. And hearing your voice, like, it's just there's a weird liminal thing to it. I'm getting a little too philosophical today. But it was like, oh, they're talking about sports on the podcast. Don't worry about the talk sports on our podcast.

Don't we do that? That's our job. What is happening? Yeah. But, yeah. we do that yeah that's our job what is happening yeah uh but yeah so um we uh i took a look at some of our podcast numbers and do you want to know what states are on our shit list uh tell me tell me okay so first off these are the states that have no downloads they have not downloaded the podcast yet so right now you're on the shit list you're not getting

any emergency funding uh we're going to send the the blockade the the truckers blockade to your state oh no um all right uh idaho uh no udaho Udaho. Jesus Christ. Proud of you. So no downloads from Idaho, Montana. Neither of the Dakotas. Really? We don't have any? No. Yeah, no one from Oklahoma. No one from Mississippi.

What the fuck? That's a shame. We have several Louisiana, but not Mississippi. Also, I cheer for your idiotic football team for some reason. What the fuck? And then I put Puerto Rico on here, but I can understand why. We don't talk about Puerto Rican stuff. We don't speak Spanish.

No. Very broken and bad Spanish. We are an embarrassment to our mothers. I ordered chicken at a KFC in L'Occitane in Italian, and it managed to work because they did not speak any English there. Proud of you. I was very drunk. I once watched Roz attempt to order a large black coffee in Quebec,

and he managed to order that coffee incorrectly in not one but two languages. Isn't it just Café grande or something like that he what did he say oh grand cafe black civil play i was just like no cafe noir cafe but they sort of don't get it because of the whole like drip coffee versus thing oh i guess i guess if you order like an americano you get close yeah that's that's uh well it's like the whole thing if you go to italy and you order a latte they just give you a glass of milk yeah watch this down yeah holy fucking idiot american you think you know coffee um i gotta i have a i got a bravo from a old lady in italy for ordering my coffee because it just apparently she's like oh she's like oh bravo they put me thought one cafe and she's like bravo bravo like oh the american

managed to do it oh thank you you're welcome for not speaking German. Yeah. Yeah, my grandfather fucking fought for you. So there have been no downloads from Nova Scotia. Oh, and I love Nova Scotia. That's a real shame. So farewell to Nova Scotia. Great song. Yeah. Not a great place because you haven't downloaded this yet. So after Canada, Germany and Australia are three and four. That's strange to me.

Yeah. Is it a military-based thing, or is it just Germans and Australians are odd? I'm going to say it's because they're odd. But hello, Germans and australians thank you uh i don't even how do you say hello in german i don't even know like is it like hello like is it just the same or i don't i don't know yeah uh yeah hello deutsche i don't know. You fucking Deutsche. Hello in German. Yeah. Hallo. Hallo.

Hallo, Deutsche. I don't know. I don't know German. All my German is beer and then imitating bad people from World War II. All right. Australians, I'm not going to do that either because you're going to make us mad. Or I'm going to make Liam mad. I'm sorry. Yeah.

And then, abbiamo solo cin have five downloads from Italy, which I think is more downloads than I would think we would have. Yeah. Well, with my pedigree from Italy, I have a certificate that says i'm from bologna and i have a grandparent from bologna pedigree get that shit out of here oh man but yeah uh and then last but not least uh as part of the regional shit talk, death to Texas. And this is more serious. Yeah. Uh,

death to Texas. In all seriousness, honestly, uh, you know, the Greg Abbott, uh, issued,

I think a directive or it is a law, I believe. Yeah. That basically, uh, long and short of it, uh, uh,

makes it mandatory to report trans kids and their parents, uh, for child abuse so yeah so that's horrifying and disgusting and i have nothing positive to say about that obviously other than i'm so sick of that we have to protect kids argument because it's made in bad faith and you don't give a shit about these kids yeah not this universe or any other yeah what actually protects trans kids is allowing them to be themselves and you know allowing them to transition when when they're the right age and without stress um what what doesn't is this bullshit this is the new thing to conflating things that are measures like masks or allowing people to express their gender and sexual identity um are somehow now being this is like the new thing is

child abuse that's what the right wing just calls it child abuse child abuse because they think that it's gonna i don't know um somehow make it right right because they it's the same argument they make you know with abortion it's like oh we have to protect it's like you don't give a shit about these kids you never have they don't they don't they don't give a damn and and yeah i don't we just stick to sports shut the hell up yeah i'll stick to fucking sports when uh texas fucking yeah like i like i get i get in this mood where i'm like if they fucking tried this shit in pennsylvania like fucking take my license away.

You'll drag me out of my classroom with a cop. Fuck that shit. Because I actually had a student come out to me a couple years ago, who I was the only person they were comfortable telling me about their identity. And I would not betray that. You would have to fucking waterboard me. And I'd still not talk, bitch. like like fuck you exactly exactly yeah uh i waterboarded myself i tried it out probably probably yeah yeah it does it does feel like you're drowning though yeah it does i i

imagine um but yeah so death to texas uh in all seriousness yeah yeah if you're a good person like like don't mean you and it's obvious we don't mean you no we don't mean you at all and the things that liam and i both probably agree are the actual solution we can't say on this podcast so correct that's how did you know yeah uh you know me so well. Yeah, we happen to share 98% of our political views, I think we align on. Yeah. Maybe 96. To quote, well, there's your problem. I hope they have a nice time.

Oh, I can't wait for International Friends Day. Yeah. It's fucking, it's just fucking disgusting. Nah, it is uh once i'm on to lighter news uh announcements we are doing a bonus episode on utah jazz with two-thirds of bring him young money yeah uh which is a podcast you should listen to i will have roz on at some point uh he was he had to stay up late all night in order to try to rescue the well, there's your problem bonus because he deleted it by accident.

Ooh, that sucks. Yeah. If, you know, I am good with knots. So if you do need like a clove hitch around him and we drag him. Yeah, I figure what will happen is that uh i will conduct a no knock raid right and i will simply snatch him and put a bag over his head and uh and that'll be that and we'll get the recording out of them one way or the other if we have to do it to come point we have to do it to gunpoint well you uh i'm getting a little too excited over that idea so

uh let's let's but yeah so so so we will have Roswell at some point. We're going to have the Brigham Young Money guys on. There are two thirds. One third asked, well, can you stay up till midnight Eastern time? Because he's in grad school. He's in grad school, which is like, I have master's plus 30, so I have no shit. I can't say anything, but I know your pain, but I'm not staying up to midnight when I got to teach the next day. Sorry.

You know, like, you know, it must it must be weird, like, like being able to do things during the day. And, you know, I can't imagine what that's like being able to day drink. It's terrific. You're going to get those student loans paid off one way or the other buddy we'll be at Center City Sips day drinking well I guess it's not day drinking whatever but

getting into fights when student loans are no longer an issue I'm amazed in all honesty that they're bringing sips back well listen this is what we're going to do. And I said this on Twitter. But if you're if you're a Villanova graduate, come to whatever.

Come to whatever Center City Sips is to get your ass kicked. Yeah. And then you can lose to the glorious Connecticut Huskies again. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My my dad, I think I've said said this but my dad went to yukon law back when law school was free or like a hundred dollars a year basically so back in the 60s

and uh has especially since i went to temple like like the old big east hatred my dad never let go of so he also never let go of the like hatred of villanova from like 1975 yeah that i appreciate that he's just hated nova basically his whole life i admire that i truly do like like like's, there's something about like just these old East coast, just shit. Like I fucking hate the guys. Yeah. You know, and it's all like the weird Xavier Cincinnati rivalry where they like went after each other with chairs.

Oh yeah. Yeah. No, it's, it's always, uh, it's always good stuff um and you know uh what's what's the what's the replacement for that uh for the old biggies it's the american yeah which is that yeah it it sucks you know uh temples in it a bunch of schools that just like have no business even having that athletic departments are in it but houston's in it too but i think houston's leaving and houston houston at least is a legitimate uh a legitimate sports school right it's not a legitimate city but it's no they had five

slamma jamma they had hakeem olajuwon like yeah oh yeah um so uh not much on the mailbag today uh guys please and gals and whatever other um identities guys gals and non-binary pals yeah yeah oh i like that yeah all of our friends from all over the world and all over the spectrums whatever spectrums they may be uh please call in and leave us uh shit talking voicemails yeah i only got positive things oh that's awful i'm sorry i got someone saying they like the banter they said like it was like the dad chat it was philly version of dad chat from hell of a way so they like that and uh the remixed intro um they seem to like oh brilliant i'm glad yeah bit by bit bringing up the audio quality here uh yeah we're trying if it were up to me we would never bring up the audio quality

right i know that's well we had that whole discussion last week you know diy you know like it's like a black metal band if you can hear the lyrics uh that wasn't mixed correctly right that's fucking funny dude oh i gotta send you one of our listeners uh sent their friends like tech death band i gotta send you the way nice because i know that you said you like you're into that uh do me kind of yeah shit so um all right uh any other thoughts before we move on to football? Now let's move on to football. All right. So we are in a we are in a stasis here because there's not much going on in Philadelphia sports until at least next week. Right. And this is going to be a short one and there's not much to talk about the eagles but because we really don't have anything until the we really don't have anything until the draft um in april i believe

no we we really don't i mean we have you know i think there's some unanswered questions like whether or not you know fletcher cox is going to come back whether or not jason kelsey is going to come back um the fact that those dudes haven't yet retired makes me think they want one more go at it yeah um obviously you know who's to say but uh yeah do you want to talk about this mock draft yeah uh so i i the athletic put out a mock draft which i must unsubscribe from because they got bought by the new york times Yep. I'm going to have to subscribe to Defector. I haven't yet. I'm sorry.

I've been skirting by on the free articles. But it sucks because they do good coverage. And so they did a mock draft. And I'm just covering the first round here because the birds have three first round picks. Yes. draft and i'm just covering the first round here because the birds have three first round picks yes and i figure with your college football uh knowledge uh we'd be able to uh kind of work our way through this um so we have the 15th 16th and 19th pick provided that we don't trade right trade trade up which if you listen to wip there's a lot of people talking about trading up and trying to get i forget who it is there's like one decent quarterback

um which is like yeah it's like it's a really weak quarterback class it just doesn't make sense from from that perspective especially considering how much they've put in the jail and hurts at this point. But, um, Oh, Kenny picket. That's the one guy out of pit that, uh, you know, might be worth it. But, and he's not a number one. He's not a number one guy. Yeah. They're talking about trading up to like eight, eight, nine, 10. No, that's now why there's no point. You have no point. There's no, there's no point. You have three first round picks and it relatively close together and you need to restock the team right like in all seriousness you need to restock the team i mean that we we went back and forth on whether or not the defense could sort of keep it together uh but i i think you need at the very least new blood yeah i mean based on like

like the retirement and then we had brandon graham like has three fibers of his achilles tendon left yeah he's playing on crap paint um you know we we need to get we need to get some some fresh blood in here so the first so they have us going uh they give two for each uh offensive option and a defensive option So here they're saying Andrew Booth jr. From Clemson at cornerback as our fifth number 15 pick. And I'm not sure how familiar with the guy. Yeah, he,

he's good. I mean, he, his arms are really long, which you want in a corner. But he also like, he's not a ball Hawk. I want to say, but like corner. But he also, like, he's not a ball hawk, I want to say,

but, like, he knows how, he can certainly defend a pass very well. And the one thing I really like about him, from what I saw with Clemson, which was limited last year, but, like, he is really good at also blocking up the run game, which, like, a lot of pure corners can't do. Right. Personally, I want them to draft. I'm not joking about his name here. Sauce Gardner.

We're just Cincinnati. Because if you have a chance to draft a guy named Sauce, his first name is Ahmad, but his nickname has been Sauce since he was a kid. Oh, yeah. Is he from where is he from? Because that's right. kid. Oh, no. Yeah. Is he from, where is he from? Detroit, Michigan. Oh, because I was, when I hear Sauce Gardner, I think it's like, I think of some Louisiana guy.

Nope, Detroit, Michigan. Etouffee Sauce Gardner. Unpronounceable last name, yes. Oh, right. That is a hell of a nickname. Like, just going by nickname alone yeah we might have gardener baby we imagine imagine the the the the partnership like the you know with local brands yeah right like dude you deets and watson would be up his ass so quick yeah yeah deets and watson you know we got the sauce gar sauce gardener here for deets and watson would be up his ass so quick yeah yeah deets and watson you know we got the

sauce guard sauce gardener here for deets and watson i don't know sauce i don't know what sauce they make but uh i know they make horseradish and shit like that but yeah i think that's all you need uh their alt is uh oh who is it jameson williams he's an alabama receiver he's an alabama receiver in this millennium he's's going to be amazing. And he's kind of a bigger guy. Like he's 6'2", 190. Which is less because my thing with Devante, will you? Not Devante, but it's Devante Smith, is that he, I love him and he's very fast, but I'm just like, please bulk up.

I'm begging you to bulk up. Ohio State. And then I transferred to Alabama into Alabama was also really good I mean he went 15 games 79 receptions 1572 yards averaging 19.9 per 15 touchdowns yeah I mean guys great you know he's got a little he's got a little a little you know a little bigger than Devante Smith which I think is a good compliment to him. Yeah, you need someone who can bully a little bit. Devontae is quick. He's insanely agile, and he can run routes really well, and that's awesome.

But you need another big dude who can kind of stick up a little more in traffic and bull yeah like bully his way i think you were saying that um so that's that's not a bad pick um so for the 16th the sinks well for the number 16 pick uh so they were suggesting tyler linderbaum out of iowa out of iowa uh he used to wrestle uh he's 6'3 and 290 and he looks like he has he has been eating nothing but corn uh since the day he was born for comparison sakes jason kelsey is 6 3 and 295 and the big criticism of linderbaum is the same criticism of jason kelsey which is that he's too small and jason kelsey won a super bowl so there you have it yeah i'm looking at a picture of this dude he is the definition like iowa like put him on the state flag yeah he's a corn-fed boy yeah um uh he moves i watched him uh i think against um

michigan or maybe ohio state and he moves his body so well like especially for a center which is so hard he like his hips are moving really well uh and his like his hands and feet all like they all like as a you know as a blocker have to. They're all working in harmony really well. Yeah. He's got big hands so he can hold off blockers like against the Michigan defense. He wasn't terrific, but like that was like they also had a fucking Heisman finalist in the Michigan backfield. Right. Yeah.

He's. Oh, man. I i'm just looking at picture of him and that's like vibes yeah like he's just like a he's a big he also won he also won the ribbington trophy which is for the best center in college football and was a unanimous all-american like he's not a fucking bad he's not he is he is not a bad pick and i don't and i think you know the criticism of him is that he's too small and they said the same thing about jason kelsey look how that turned out apparently he he donated i don't know what an nil is do you know what that name image and likeness so he donated 30 grand from his nli NIL earnings to, uh, the, the children's hospital.

That's, that's fucking sick, dude. Good for him. All right. Hell yeah. They have a really cool tradition at the university of Iowa where the stadium is next to the children's hospital.

Yeah. And they'll open the windows wide, the children's hospital, so they can watch the games and the fans will turn and wave. Oh, that's, that fucking rocks. Yeah.

I like shit like that that's great oh hell yeah man um on the defense's side their alternate pick was uh trent mcduffie i guess you would say yeah i i don't know the kid he he he's hard he's he's i i don't know what the word the word i'm looking for is sort of slippery okay uh he can get out yeah he he i mean he's physically very tough he's a little short at 511 and 195 but he does he reads really well he can read routes really, really well. And he's an especially good zone defender. Okay. But like you would be worried about him in sort of the new breed of like big physical defenders or big physical receivers.

He looks like Tobias Harris. He does look like Tobias Harris. That's uncanny. I have him side by side. There is fairly strong resemblance. Tobias Harris he does look like Tobias Harris that's uncanny I have him side by side there is fairly strong resemblance doesn't have the the big cheeks but uh that's cool like if you're talking about explosive speed this is your guy absolutely like and I think the Eagles defense like I said if you want an injection of speed he's got your

injection of speed yeah um definitely you wouldn't like if you pick jameson williams you're gonna probably go with some sort of defensive pick unless you're trying to get drafted next jason kelsey but i don't think you need to draft the next Jason Kelsey in the first round, but a good center is pretty fucking important. Oh, yeah. I mean, if you can get a new center and then have him kind of study under Kelsey. Right, right. That's a good thing to have um all right on to the next so uh we skip two picks and then we're down to number 19 right where the we're we're supposedly

drafting uh kenyan green at interior offensive lineman out of a&M. He is also a big fucking boy. 325, 6'4". Yeah, that's a big fucking boy. Yeah. Yeah. He can also play both guards and right tackle, which is super good because versatility is always good, especially if you're going to put up,

like if you're going to, if you're going to pay a first round pick for it, like versatility is fantastic. Like being able to plug and play a guy like that's you. Like that's one of the reasons Belichick is so good is that he picks guys that like can do that. He played four positions in three years at A&M. So yeah,

no, that's, that's good to have especially considering how many injuries not only are in linemen but just linemen in general tend to have because it's like the most bone crushing uh position in the sport the thing too is that this dude because of his size and relative speed is like really good at keeping defenders off the quarterbacks so like you know the downside sort of being that like sometimes sometimes he'll he'll sort of like miss on the inside but like that's a that's a thing you can teach yeah yeah and there's always like stuff you have to change when you transition to the nfl because it's as we said last week it's men it's big boys yeah guys who have five six seven years on you and all that weight training on you yeah exactly and like there's criticisms of him and uh oh god I went out of the tab.

And Andrew Linderbaum for sort of getting beat by, like, big boys. But, like, that's going to come down to one-on-one battles. Like, it's hard to stop Aaron fucking Donald. But you're not going to play Aaron Donald every week. Right. And they picked the defensive guy guy we have purdue purdue uh as the alternate i'm gonna just four and 275 carloftis i think carloftis he is greek yeah yeah euros euros he's from athens and his dad died when he was 13

geez uh yeah he he was once on the national uh water polo team as a kid like the youth division of greece's national water polo team well all right uh i mean it sounds like a kid's like an athlete yeah he's not that sounds stupid like yeah no shit he's an athlete he's a college football player but like well-rounded you know yeah he he doesn't have sort of the longest arms in the world he's got a really good first step he can sort of squeeze and squeeze himself through the gaps uh which is super impressive and like yeah like sometimes he doesn't he doesn't finish often uh where you know at the second level like sometimes yeah i hear that he'll just get blocked up but like shit happens and if the dude puts on mass and gets up to like 290 295 like that is that is a hard bull to stop yeah oh man he uh i just looked at a picture of him uh

the the musculature there is pretty good yeah say uh big beefy boy he's a beefy boy um yeah um and uh purdue uh neil armstrong college so there you go um yeah any other thoughts on the dress so this is just a first round we're not gonna sit here and do all seven rounds yeah sorry uh yeah i mean i i don't know man i mean i think the o-line needs quite a bit of work yeah obviously it always does like even if you have a perfect o-line you always need an o-line yeah uh yeah i uh my problem as always is going be, can Howie not fuck this up? Yeah. What do you think? Is there any potential fuck ups that you're thinking of off top of your head?

Yeah, there's some there's some weird stuff where, like, I think it's entirely possible that he, like, totally blows it on a receiver that no one's ever heard of. Yeah. He drafts. He ends up drafting the boy out of pit like he does something that we just can't believe happened uh you know the uh the other thing is like they need to refresh the the defensive line too though right like they need a dt or like an edge rusher so i i think that howie will probably do an okay job given that like at like my problem with howie is that he tends to fuck up first rounders yeah and this is this is like not like a like he hasn't like oh once or twice like he's consistently fucked us up so you've So you'd almost rather him trade up

and package, like, two picks together so you can increase the odds of getting a surefire hit? Yeah. Like, Kayvon Thibodeau out of Oregon is, like, a huge, like, deal at pass, at edge rush. Yeah. So, like, if you could package two picks and send them to like

say the falcons at eight yeah you know yeah i mean i i think you have to like in the in the first like two three rounds address both like offensive line of defense i almost i i actually think you probably shouldn't be drafting a receiver to be honest with you i i kind of i'm kind of in the same boat like like we might be able to sign somebody that could fill that number two role to be the big beefy you know i believe quez walkins if he was given an honest shot could be yeah well and that's that's the other fucking problem we have with like howie in charges there's a lot of guys that you see have moments to shine and it's just not consistently calling their number right and which is what happened to davante and quez this year

yeah because they were so insistent on giving it to rager when it when he proved that he didn't deserve to be like given a given more chances is rager's contract up or is he still on his? He is still on the team so far as I know. Because what? You get two years? It's a two-year rookie contract in the NFL? Or am I mixing up with basketball?

I think it's three in the NFL. He signed a four-year contract with the NFL, though. Oh, okay. With the Eagles. It probably could cut him anyway because the NFL, though. Oh, okay. With the Eagles. It probably could cut him anyway because the NFL Union's the weakest one. But, yeah. Oh, man.

If they have him return in punts next year, it's just like, the fuck, man? Are you trying to get the value out of him? Is that what it is? Yeah. The dude has to go. I'm sorry. We've seen enough like it sucks i understand you know maybe the logic is okay well he's only played two seasons like right you don't want to let go of a former number one but like right it's it's time to let go of a former number one i'm sorry trade him get him, get some picks. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, that's probably all you can do. And I'm sure there'll be some team out there like, I can fix him. Right. And maybe you can. Who knows? Yeah. Who knows? I don't think there's anything on the Owls football front,

any commits that you saw. I didn't see anything. No. The energy, I've been following him on Twitter. The energy around the energy around the team i will say is very good and they did release the schedule um there's the the the the let's see sorry i got a million dms at once that's all right so we've got uh oh boy duke duke who is at least decent now at football lafayette who is terrible rutgers who he got stomped by last year umass who is terrible memphis who is good ucf also good but houston is going to be tricky Cincinnati obviously is going to be hard Navy is not a bad

team yeah I mean I think my honest answer is it'll depend on how they look especially versus Duke and Rutgers but the Rutgers game I'm like do we want to go to that or we'll be just like sad

I'd rather go to the u-bass game which i know they're gonna win yeah that might be the that might be the answer um because if they could come back against like if they could like strike back against ruckers and like settle the score that'd be good but um well i mean you would have some joy in Rutgers, I guess. I would. Yeah. But I like how they have the conference championship listed just in case. Just in case we do it. Yeah, we won't, but.

We'll see. We'll see. We'll see. Versus to be determined. That's a little. Well, it's to be determined versus to be determined. Okay. Yeah.

I like that, though. I like that we're playing with confidence. Yeah. We'll see. We'll see. We'll see. We got Kurt Warner's kid, you know? Yeah.

Shit, which one of those is homecoming? That's the lamest thing I've said this week. I'm going to guess it's against UMass. Probably. I get those emails. Why haven't you donated? Yeah, me too, man. Well, because you have a lot of property you're sitting on.

That's why. My dad went to UMass, so I kind of want to bring him to the UMass game just to watch his agony at a team he truly does not care about. If they win, you have to become a malice. No, I will not be doing that. A malice third worldist. I will not be doing that. Oh, come on.

No. It's fine. It's not fine. No. Come on. What have third world malice ever done wrong okay all right never boiled children alive or no no of course not it's fine everything's fine uh all right so uh basketball temple basketball uh good luck idiots uh they beat cincinnati whoa

they're fifth in the aac right now uh hopefully they can do damage in the tournament i mean they lost a fucking too late man like this team is up and down to say the least the i i read a fairly um what would you say uh how would you phrase this in the journalism parlance? Like, not softball, but kind of, I guess that's the best thing. Like a softball kind of overview of Temple basketball, where it was all very well rebuilding. We try so hard. Yeah, and the kids are getting confident.

And they had this. Are they? We lost to Tulane yeah that doesn't feel like confidence to me that feels like losing to Tulane and the one thing I liked was like well we don't have to rely on the freshman software so

much in the in the backcourt well it's like well yeah no shit because they'll be softwares and juniors next year so that's that's just a category um um but yeah no it it would be nice if if if they could you know shake some stuff up you know we always like i said critical support for for the cherry white but um yeah um yeah we don't glad we don't have season tickets yeah yeah yeah um but uh looking at pro ball uh i'm gonna leave with this did you see the picture of

yannis picking up cork yes by the ball yeah they were both holding on to the ball together and yannis just literally yanks him like he cradlenis just literally picked him up. Yanks him. Like he cradled him. He just picked him up like he was like carrying his, his new bride through the threshold. Yeah. It was wild. Giannis is strong as shit. If you hadn't realized that. Yeah.

He is, he is a big boy. Obviously. Yeah. The Greeks know how to feed them, I guess. Yeah. Lots of baklava and gyro. It's always bulking season. Yeah. It's know how to feed them, I guess. Yeah. Lots of baklava and gyro.

It's always bulking season. Yeah, it's always bulking. When we have spinning meat on demand 24-7, you are always bulking. You are always bulking. Don't worry. Now I want some gyro, man. That's good shit. Oh, don't do that. Giannis is 6'11 and like 242. Yeah.

And that's all fucking muscle he's like eight percent by yeah he's scary man he's genuinely scary like him and like dudes like steven adams who can just play genuine bully ball i mean he's literally like picking i mean he's like doing something a bully would do like picking up art art. And I feel like maybe there was some like, you know, kind of shit there from like 1919 that they were kind of hashing out. Yeah. You know,

we, we, we are retaking Asia minor step forward for a cork bus. I do like speaking of the box that they have not one but two saint joe alum on their roster i i like that you're contractually obligated to like that yeah i know don't remind me yeah that's fun to like go down nba rosters and be like you made it to the nba Where is Truman State? All I could say is well, the closest I have to an NBA player

is, what's his name? Kyle Lowry. I watched him play basketball. He was on Doc. And he was a senior when I was a freshman. So we saw him play the North team and just destroy us.

And yeah, so shouts out to Cardinal Doherty. May he rest in peace. Another school that was unfairly destroyed by Cardinal Bevilacqua, no, Regali. Cardinal Regali, fuck you. So, but we did beat the Bucs. Yes. 123 to 20. So it was, we were did beat the Bucks. Yes. 123 to 20.

So it was, it was, uh, we were slaying in shots there. Um, but the Sixers, you know, with Harden coming on top of the Atlantic, uh, let's see the schedule. You, uh, get right back into it against the feared and fearsome minnesota timberwolves on friday yeah uh then you've got the knicks and then the calves yeah yeah yeah i think uh well it'll be it'll be cool to see uh it's good that you play the knicks and then have two days of rest yeah you know especially with harden just getting integrated yeah it's it's a couple of uh we played nicks twice in a row do we yeah yeah um yeah so so ease them in before we play the heat and the bulls that's that's going to be tough um and then again we said this last

time then that's there's no way ben's playing you you you paid if you sold your ticket for 180 200 dollars good for you good for you yeah because you're going to see ben play no you're not going to get a free frosty um you know there's no way he plays there's no way he plays of course we also said there's no way they'd trade for james hard so yeah we've been wrong there that's fine yeah we're obligated to remind ourselves of this every time we make a yeah make a claim we should although we should what i should have done is gone through and like scrub the episode yeah and uh just do the like the sports radio take and just be like what are you talking about we said this was gonna happen every like

what the fuck like yeah you clown you dope like yeah what are you talking about we we always said that he was gonna get traded um so um but yeah the all-star game scores always crack me up because there's no defense yes yeah and it's better that way oh yeah no that's what it should be like like the i think the nba out of the sports does the all-star game the best. They just make it a spectacle. You have the dunk contest, which is a guy wheels out in a little tricycle, jumps over a clown, does three backflips over a guy with a lightsaber, and then

dunks, and then fireworks go off. That fucking rocks. Compared to... The NFL does it the worst the pro bowl no one cares like who's going to give a shit about the pro bowl right um like oh it's the week before the super bowl like who gives a shit um and if someone's going to this role they're not going to play in the pro bowl anyway um exactly um and it's boring and and whatever but uh no so it was team durant versus team lebron 160 163 but our boy joel had the second highest points yes after after uh uh after curry who hit 50 yeah jesus christ at least a pussy for the rest of us man yeah uh oh yeah um so and then the only other thing that again it's

the all-star break um they don't play till friday i think um so if you're listening to this on the day comes out there'll be tonight um the or um we signed willie collie stein to attend yeah i guess it's a backup center yeah um so yeah not wrong with that um all right any other thoughts on the 76ers no all right uh so hockey please trade claude geroux um please make this stop they're so fucking bad dude but but he and i share the same hair beard color combination yes and i feel alone if they trade him away i'll feel very alone i'm sorry yeah um that it's it i mean so the guy's played his entire career with us correct yeah that's kind of sad man that this is how it ends i always feel bad like when we traded chase utley and jimmy rollins to the dodgers i just saw a stat on uh espn that since, uh,

December 16th, would you like to know how many, uh, regular time wins the flyers have? Oh, I, I don't, but one,

one. Yeah. Ooh. Well, we have five fucking straight losses. We're back to our old shit again. Here are the dates of the last five flyers wins all right tuesday february 1st saturday january 29th okay wednesday december 29th

saturday december 18th and we can keep going uh thursday december 14th they won saturday friday and saturday december 10th and 11th, they won. And then we go all the way back to Tuesday, November 16th. Wow. Not a very good team. That's sad even by Philly standards. Yeah, this is blow the fucking team up. Yeah, I guess get what you can get for Giroux if he's willing to go.

Yeah, he has get what you can get for Giroux if he's willing to go. Yeah, he has no – yeah. He has a no trade clause. So, man, like it just sucks that that's like – and it's the same thing when they broke up the real good Phillies. They're still not even as bad as the Devils, which is probably the worst part. That's always good shot in Florida. Yeah.

Horrible team. that's always, that's always good shot in Florida. Yeah. Um, horrible Tim. So, um, I had cut out the, almost the entire Olympic segment we talked about last week. Yeah. Because we fucked it up so bad.

Good. Um, the, the women, the U S women's one, I believe, right? Yeah.

So they, they got gold. Oh, we silvered. So, uh, U S or we lost to canada so men's or women's uh women's okay so the women's national hockey u.s national hockey team lost to slovakia yeah oh the women lost to canada and uh the men lost to Slovakia. Okay. Good job, men. I know they were all, like, college kids.

Yeah, it's all college kids. It's not NHLers, like... Yeah. To Slovakia, Jesus Christ. All right, I don't really have anything negative to say about Slovakia, so... No. I reserve my shit talk for, like, the Germans. Right, no, understandable.

Yeah, the British, most of all. Yeah, absolutely. I guess Slovakia really didn't do anything. I'm sure we'll find out something. Yeah, we'll learn. Yeah. So blow it up. Trade your roo.

It's a shame, but blow it up and trade your roo. Get rid of your Flyers calf tattoo if you're listening to this in Delco. Sorry. I know it's a requirement when you move there um and i guess that leaves us with the last sadness yeah you want to talk about baseball i assume you're in mourning yeah so if they don't get a deal by monday monday being the 28th of February, the season's going to likely be delayed. Now they have been having, what I hear are substantial talks,

but which is good because they're not like presenting something. And then the, the owners just walk away being like, we'll get back to you. Um, but there's a lot of serious talk here going on. Um, I think we said last time, like the, the, the, the DH is something that's pretty, uh, pretty universally agreed on.

The draft pick lottery thing is a thing that they're kind of narrowing down, but the big stuff really hasn't been settled yet. And it's because of the owners. I was mad when I wrote, uh, Jesus Christ, just concede you greedy fucks. I hate you all. All I want to do is watch baseball. It's one of the few joys I have in life. The crack of the bat, the taste of hot dogs, the smell of dipspit.

The rapid and capricious turn from exhilarating thrill to exhaustive disappointment. All of this denied to me because of a bunch of rich old dweebs I want to part with a few millions. Drop Utah Phillips here. That's the beginning. Through the workers' blood shall run.

There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun. Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one? But the union makes us strong. But yeah, so we don't have it. Like the minor leaguers that aren't on the 40 man are down there are like private workouts going on um i i think we have a season if it doesn't so if there's no agreement come March 1st, like you need four weeks really to get these guys into shape. And opening days like March 31st or April 1st,

I think it's March 31st. So if hopefully it's not too long a thing, like if you push it back to like mid April, it's not a huge deal, but we don't want this shit going on forever obviously solidarity with the players holding out for what they think is right absolutely um the tipping i was listening to the latest tipping bitches who we had on two weeks ago and they were saying like if if it was possible the best thing to do was the players just to withhold themselves and break the league and start their own.

That would be sick. Because without the best players, it's not happening. You can draft whoever you want, but you can't get... Developing them is hard work. Yeah. And you can try and draft a kid out of high school, but if he's like,

well, am I going to go to the league that fucking Bryce Harper and Jarrett Cole own, you know, collectively? Or am I going to go to fucking uh old man you know bob nuttings yeah exactly inmates can't be running the asylum guy yeah yeah the the city of pittsburgh deserves better than the nuttings um absolutely but yeah it's um we'll see we'll see what happens um otherwise we'll just have to become uh like kbo or nippon baseball league fans we'll just wake up at whatever time and watch the games at whatever

time and lose all sanity and we'll have to we'll have to i forgot which which uh japanese baseball team it is that had the curse of colonel sanders yes Where they threw the statue of Colonel Sanders in the canal in like Tokyo or Kyoto or something like that. And they didn't win until they fished it out. Good. It's their version of the Billy Goat Curse. U.S. hegemony. Yeah.

Japanese baseball. I don't know. I guess it's just baseball just has like weird things happen where they had like the guy who hit the most home runs, but like people were afraid to like break his record out of like, like respect. And there's like rumors. Well,

and then there's rumors. It really wasn't respect. Cause it was like a guy on his own team and he was coaching him and he like sat him the day he might've broke his records. Like you're, you're a man, dude. Like,

like your job is to want your player to break your record. Babe Ruth would never have been upset about Roger Maris or Hank Aaron. He would have been like, cool. Where's the women in the alcohol? Oh, man. All right. That's all I got for baseball today. And we did promise two jokes to make up for last week.

Why does Father Judge wear blue? Well, so they don't have to change their shirt when they enter the Philadelphia Police Department. I was expecting that to be a Nazi joke. Oh, Jesus. Why do they wear khaki? I was gonna I was expecting that to be a Nazi joke Oh Jesus Uh Why do they wear khaki Um You gotta look the prettiest at the Nazi rally Yeah I mean if there's one thing the Nazis

Have as aesthetics it's the only thing they have Literally the only thing there's nothing else They have Bunch of Nazi uh I figured out how to put a bleep in so i'll just have this all bleeped out a nazi nazi yeah um that's the best thing to do in the world is to Nazis uh yeah i figured out how to insert tone i'm proud of you um and then uh so we promised you two jokes so uh so liam have you heard the one about how you get a father judge grad off your porch i haven't

how do you get a father grad judge uh podcast zone yeah but he was he was not a cop he was actually arrested so for him we're doing class consciousness yeah yeah yeah um so um that that's gonna be like the mystery bonus episode that might never get released um just because of trepidation on his part but uh fair enough yeah yeah uh we might have one at some point um so uh plugs so i'm say, listen to Well, There's Your Problem. They just started the epic saga of the Penn Central Railroad. People think this is the series finale of Well, There's Your Problem. And no, we have to pay bills.

Wait, wait. Why are people thinking that? I don't know. I think they just sort of figured, like, because we've talked about it for so long that this is sort of the end. But it's not. I mean, you guys make like good money.

Too much money. I'm not turning the money printer off. Yeah. Why the fuck would you ever go over that? Well, I secure the bag. Well, the bag is there my man like fuck that get those student loans paid off um yeah so it gets you turning into a three-parter uh yeah is it really 10 hours it's going to be yeah did you record 10 hours straight no we only

actually recorded part one but each part is going to come out to three hours plus the bonus episode. So that's probably close to 11 hours. So I here I thought that you did like the Comptown thing where you recorded like 20 episodes in like a weekend and then just release them all. Someone someone wanted us to do that. It was the guys who was like your audio quality sucks uh but uh uh it's like we we really can't finagle that uh because yeah alice is on 200 podcasts yeah you have lives um you know and the guy who wants you to improve your audio quality guess what guess? How many Patreon subscribers does he have? Not that many. That's what I thought.

You can go fuck yourself, dude. Exactly. We spent like 10 minutes shitting on that guy the other day. Listen to WTYP and the Penn Central Saga. Listen to Lions Led by

Lambs. The Curse Saga is getting good. Listen to Lions Led by Lambs. Yes, please. The Cursed Saga is getting good. Listen to Trash Future. Listen to Hell of a Way to Die. Listen to, what else? Don't listen to our rival podcast. Killjus Bond.
