She's at the gym.
Starting point is 00:02:50 Why did you say place redacted and then immediately say the place? Because for some reason, my brain was like, oh, they might like know when I'm recording and go talk to my wife, but they also don't know where I live or where my wife goes to the gym or anything. Yeah, anything. What gym she goes to. All right. Planet Fitness.
Starting point is 00:03:09 No, I wouldn't be caught dead going to Planet Fitness. I know. You're very strong. We're all very proud of you. Not as strong anymore. I'm stronger than I used to be. I'll tell you that. With the weight loss, I definitely was struggling with very, very light weights.
Starting point is 00:03:25 So it was like 160. I had a hard time benching that. So. Oh, well, who's to sack? Who's to seek? I'll get back. I'll get back to it. No, I believe you.
Starting point is 00:03:35 I just, uh, maybe another, maybe another year or so this, uh, weight loss and then I should be good, but I'm very close to the lowest I've ever weighed as an adult, which is pretty cool. That is cool. I have not been below 200 pounds since I was like 13. Hey man, I'm sympathetic, right? Like my playing weight was like 265. If I could get down back to like 260, 270, I'd be very happy. Yeah, yeah. That'd be, you know, that'd be awesome. Getting back to like your old fighting weight, I think is a nice. Yeah. And I'm just there.
Starting point is 00:04:10 Like I'm like three or four pounds away from my old powerlifting weight. So that's making me happy. Well done. Yeah, thanks. It's a good transition away from like the depressing news and stuff like that and Medicaid and Medicare and all that shit. Let's let's talk about sports because right. That's the new OPM of the people and yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:32 Oh man, dude. So let's talk about the Sixers, man. We haven't in a minute. What are we fucking doing here? What are we fucking doing here? Tom? Uh, they suck. Well, not just that they suck, but they suck. They gave out like 140 points the other night.
Starting point is 00:04:50 They suck in a way that it's like not unprecedented because we sat through the process six weeks, but like, dude, what are we doing? They're 20 and 38 right now. We lost the bulls 100 points. I didn't think it was even that bad. I thought it was like 25, 35, like below 500, but like not catastrophically. So no, it's the season's over. Shut him down. Just shut it down. Yep. A process again.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Well, I don't even like I read an article or correction. I skimmed an article about about Jojo today that was like the six year still seem as a cornerstone of the franchise. I'm like, like, OK, okay, this is just untold human misery then. This is going to be like the Katrina Weather Bulletin. That's where we all got started, right? The Katrina Weather Bulletin. That's how we... Uninhabitable for human suffering. Power outages will last for weeks as most power poles will be down and transformers destroyed.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Water shortages will make human suffering incredible by modern standards. Yeah. Yeah. And they were right. Did I talk? Did we talk about this before? No, I mean, I think we've probably like mentioned it when we were both drinking, but. Maybe it came up when what was the one that hit Louisiana and East Texas? Oh, Harvey? Not Harvey. Maybe three or four years ago.
Starting point is 00:06:13 No, it had to have been within while we were recording. So like the last three years. And I remember one of the things that the National Hurricane Center put out was unsurvivable storm surges. That was like one of the adjectives they used. Right. And they are very restrained with that kind of language because they don't want to cause a panic. But when they save it for like, no, you're going to die if you don't leave. Like, you know, a 20-foot storm surge is unsurvivable.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Right. If you live in a swamp. storm surge is unsurvivable. Right. You are. If you live in a swamp. Right. Right. It's not good. I promise you Katrina is coming. That's right.
Starting point is 00:06:55 Hurricane Katrina too. This time on the East Coast. Yeah. We will spare New Orleans, my genuinely my favorite place on earth. I love New Orleans. No, we're gonna hit Washington DC this time Yeah, we're gonna call it hurricane clown show because all the clowns in Congress hurricane hurricane Cheeto The Cheeto noise it's I gotta tell you it's pretty fun to lean into like the resistance lib bullshit nonsense
Starting point is 00:07:21 Just just wine mom paint your nails and and sass and like wear like the hats. Yeah. Yeah. I have a fun story for you. We have like 200 boys we also get through. My mom came to the office today. Oh yeah. To visit. Yeah. Because we have a senior center and she's joining. Yeah. And then I got to give her the like grand tour of all the like, because my mom did crisis counseling and drug addiction and domestic violence counseling for many years. And it was funny because everyone's like treating my mom like this dignified elder statesman.
Starting point is 00:08:02 It was very sweet. That is kind of nice. I like that. Like, I guess the ones who came before. Liam's mom is here. Let's get the diplomatic red carpet. Pay our proper respects. Yes.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Oh, I like that. That's kind of sweet. Yeah. So back to the Sixers who are putrid, unlike my mother. I said unlike my mother. I want to be very clear about that. Oh yeah. I would have fought you for that. I would have deserved it. Yeah. Yeah. No, my mother is sacred to me
Starting point is 00:08:30 My favorite thing is like I was out with her. They live in they live in old setting I'm not gonna obviously say where they live in old sitting. Mm-hmm And this guy came up and like started giving my mom like not harassing her but being like hey Do you guys have any money my mom? It's like I have like three dollars you just have it and the guy was any money? My mom was like, I have like $3. You can just have it. And the guy was like really, really pleased. And it was like, oh man, thank you so much. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:08:51 And I was like, that was really cool of you. That was a really decent thing to do. My mom goes, it's been my entire fucking career helping these people. Like, do you think I'm gonna stop now? Yeah. I was like, yeah, the helping professions, it never goes away, does it?
Starting point is 00:09:03 No, it doesn't. The juice will last forever. Oh man. Yeah, it's tough.

Like, like those dudes who just radiate, like not intimidation necessarily, but like, I don't want to I don't want to fuck with you. They they have achieved so much That right. We're here. They're so Confident in themselves. They carry them so because who this person is is the most impressive person in
Starting point is 00:15:02 99.999 percent of rooms right based on what they've done, right and There's when you're that when you when you're the big dog for that long. You're the big dog, right? Like, yeah, you might not have as much money or like this or that, or the third thing, but like it doesn't matter because like you've seen professional athletes like in person, like in on the street, right? Not that I'm aware of actually. Oh, okay. So I'll tell you, like I've met Claude Drew on the street.

Like this kind of like very like assured like carriage of themselves. And like I am I am not necessarily the biggest dude in the room, but like I like I like. You just don't want like I'm the most impressive. I know. And I'm not necessarily like in love with myself, but like there is nothing you can do.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Yeah. To bring into question my accolades. Yeah, I've I've had the chance to meet some pretty high ranking individuals in like the Coast Guard. Right. And they're kind of like that. Right. Like they, like at one point, you know, I was having like a one-on-one conversation with the vice commandant back in the day and I was young and it was very, I was like, oh, you are a incredibly intelligent and well-prepared person.
Starting point is 00:16:26 You knew who everyone was before you walked in the room, despite the fact that I'm nobody. Right. You know everything about everything. I'll put their name in the chat. Yeah. I have one for that too. My parents, I have met Joe Biden once. My parents knew him in Delaware, like before
Starting point is 00:16:46 he was Senator. Yeah. So my they get they got a Christmas card for them every year for many years. And I like, where's it going with this? Oh, that same thing. Like the like, I know, like I am I am. And whatever you can say about Joe Biden's cognitive decline is neither here nor there, but like the, the like, I know everything about fucking everything. There is no way you can, I am beyond reproach basically. I'm not saying that he's literally beyond criticism, but like you're, you're, you're assured enough that like, you can't touch me.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Right. When you, it's the confidence of someone who's like, yeah, you, you're effectively untouchable, in a sense, for mortals. I think all of us might have those moments, but it's not a constant radiance. Hang on. So this is my. I'll tell you, I'll tell you off air how I know him.
Starting point is 00:17:53 OK, but yeah, he's. This is a really cool fun fact. I don't want to dox the person question. He played center at Navy. OK, all right. He played center at Navy.

Because I'm like either seven, fifth, eighth, seventh, three quarters, depending on the brand. I'm seven and seven eighths.
Starting point is 00:18:32 OK, so it goes up a little higher. But that's pretty much the top. I think. Can you get to an eight? I mean, I'm sure you can, but I got to do it. Right. Like find your hat size at hats.com. Thank you. Hats.com.
Starting point is 00:18:53 That's like a style. You guys just have a normal fucking hat. Jesus. What is, oh, look at this thing. Fuck. Yeah. Guess what, guys? Mailbag episode.
Starting point is 00:19:04 We don't give a shit. What's the largest normal hat size listen listen to the bonus of it bothers you so much? This hat fucks. Yeah, it goes up to eight and one eights. That's like triple x. Oh, dude. That's like a That's way too cheap for it to be good. Yeah, I know but it does fuck yeah, that's like a Lennon hat Yeah, it's the student the student student cap or the fisherman cap, like the old school kind. Right. So they go up to eight and an eighth. Right. So maybe that's the plus size hats.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Yeah. Imagine half of the stores, hats for the big and tall. I, dude, so my shoe size is a 13. Which is like the last, I hate to say normal size, because like all bodies, whatever, but it's like the last size where I can like reliably find them in stores stocked. I like, I struggle sometimes, but like I knew a guy in college who wore like size 16s and he had to just like
Starting point is 00:20:08 You know, it was it was just an it was a nightmare getting them On the side. I hope that dude is dead in the grave. Oh, okay. Yeah Do you have to bleep that?

You can also text that number, patreon.com slash 10,000 losses where you get access to all of our bonus episodes. You can subscribe to the bonus slash regular feed that is been slowly being built. That we do now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Yeah. And then you also have access to the discord on there where you can. Someone asked if we would do a Patreon thing where we would we would take out the Ross ad for our own Patreon. They were like, hey, like, is there a version of the episode for for patrons that doesn't have the ad? And I'm like, you think I'm going to cut that? Yeah, that's insane. Hmm. Yeah, that's. Too much. Also, you just hit fast forward.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Yeah, I know. I don't. People are strange, Tom. Yeah, people are strange when you're a stranger. I fucking hate the doors. I also hate the doors. Yeah. All right. Spring training. Baseball's back. You want to talk to me about that?
Starting point is 00:21:28 Because like you're the baseball knower on this podcast. You know, I'll actually I just got a text from a friend of the show, Matt. Oh, my God. I don't care. Oh, let him know you don't care about. No, not about Matt or something else. Found out about this cool trick at Sonoco when you Hit the 87 button it gives you 91 instead $50 or a tank of gases should be under 43 exclamation points Wow, yeah, sorry. Sorry Matt
Starting point is 00:21:55 Gonna you that's this podcast is gonna be submitted as evidence. They're gonna be listening on story discovery for Matt's fraud You know what? You know what? I have a you want to know my dumbest conspiracy theory is that Wawa has the curl of the cable of the hose that goes to the gas pump set up so that it accidentally hits premium. I believe that. When you unhook it, it'll swing back. It used to be that you could hit regular. And as long as you hadn't pumped anything, it would just swap over.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Now you have to cancel a transaction, start over. Yeah, they do that on purpose. So my GTI before I sold it was rematched to take 93 octane fuel. Are you still drinking that same orange soda? What's that? I can't see what that is. Black cherry. Good choice. Good choice. And I just like, I remember going, like getting a tank of gas and just being like, I am such a piece of shit. Like this is so unnecessary. I kind of feel like a badge would be 93 octane. It's just like a Volkswagen fucking golf and You had it don't like it normally took regular it door. It's a premium but like 89 or 9 it took 89 octane
Starting point is 00:23:13 I think okay But you can get it remapped to take 93 octane fuel which increases horsepower output so on and so forth I'm sure that really helped the car Ran fine. It ran fine. It's in Ohio, last I checked. Oh, like it helped. No. Like it'd be more badass.
Starting point is 00:23:32 No, it just was more expensive. And I once drove so fast for Speed Redacted for an extended period of time that I could watch my fuel needle do this in real time. Yeah. All right. Talk to me about baseball, bud. needle do this in real time. Yeah, that's right. But talk to me about baseball, but but every every person you drove past got immediately roused at the sound of that engine.
Starting point is 00:23:52 So I didn't have a fight. Yeah, go ahead. Baseball is back. Baseball is back, baby. There's spring training going on. I've watched one game. It was nice to see. They're not all televised Yeah, I noticed cuz I was trying to throw it on today and I couldn't yeah
Starting point is 00:24:08 Let me see the TV schedule They're all on some of them aren't even on the radio, but they are on like the MLB TV for free If you have an account, I do have an account Philly's hang on. I gotta see what using my old one. Uh, no, I don't think so. I lost the login I'm pretty sure I don't have MLB TV anymore anyway. I might pay for it honestly if I do I'll share the account with you. We'll just do what we always do. But you can't get, just so you know, you can't get Philly's games on that. I don't need to frankly. Hold up, I'm trying to launch, can I seriously not watch this game? Are you serious?
Starting point is 00:24:43 Can I seriously not watch this game? Are you serious? Where's ESPN Plus, god damn. Tomorrow's game's on TV. It's on the NBC Sports Philadelphia Plus. What time? 1 o'clock, they're all 1 o'clock starts. Yeah, that's what I thought. It wasn't on today and I really wanted to watch it.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Oh, there was a live stream today. It was a free game today at 1 o'five. I wish I would have known that. All right, I got a Samford via Maya. While we're recording. So I'm dual screening it. What's this? You have a what? What? What did you say? I have a Ford via Maya Samford, Samford University versus the Virginia military. Oh, okay. There are maybe 30 people in this gym.
Starting point is 00:25:26 How was this a D1 program? Um, I don't know. But so we've got, we got some stuff going on. You got, uh, what's his name? Gabriel Rincones Jr. Uh, whack at home runs. Maybe he might be, if he keeps his up spring training, maybe he might be on the 40 man. We got Bryce Harper gets hit by a pitch, but he's probably fine. He fucked up his tricep, I think they said. Yeah, a contusion. So it's like a couple day thing. And it's really weird.
Starting point is 00:25:58 We're running it back, you know, and with a few more additions. We're going to have Bobby and Alex from Tipping Pitches on in March So we'll do more of a deep dive then also we have to find some sort of dumb game to do. We could do I mean we're gonna do a One of the conference tournaments that's gonna be that's like next week. Oh Yeah, that reminds me someone someone on someone on reddit That's like next week. Oh yeah, that reminds me. Someone on Reddit was saying, hey, idea. No, it was on the WTYP Discord. It was like, hey, they should have a Patreon tier where
Starting point is 00:26:39 Liam streams football games. And it's like, well, there's a podcast for you out there. Yeah, it's not common, but it does happen. Yeah, we know because I don't like we're sick. Nobody's well, there's a problem. The discord couldn't do it. Well, like you're not also they wanted you to stream the Super Bowl. I can't shoot.
Starting point is 00:27:00 You're not streaming the Super Bowl. No, you have things to do. Yeah, I like be with my wife and my family. Yeah. I then go out in my eagle's mask and not be able to see things. And pass out beers like some kind guardian angel. That's what I do. So just like there's some stuff going on.
Starting point is 00:27:19 And we're doing a mailbag show, so we won't get too into it. But the MLB ESPN deal, they opted out of last three years. It seems like ESPN wants to renew. MLB cited ESPN's growing lack of coverage for MLB. It's tough, man. It's, I mean, I guess my thing is like, there's, ESPN's bread and butter, I think is twofold. ESPN, like if we want to talk about this,
Starting point is 00:27:48 where it's football, because they'll do the like, oh, football season never ends, like, you know, we're at the draft combine, we're doing this, we're doing that. And like, I am not someone who like gives a shit about the combine. I'm not someone who gives a shit about the draft. Like, you know, those guys by and large are like too raw
Starting point is 00:28:06 Maybe they'll they'll like they'll be starters, but like probably not right. Yeah I'm interested in someone like Abdel Carter who's like a local kid, you know and and where he goes, but I don't like my my Perspective on ESPN is like it's college basketball, which is nearly over because we're knocking on conference tournament schedule. And then that kind of goes away. And ESPN has really refocused. At an interesting point, they've really focused their energy on the NBA when no one's watching
Starting point is 00:28:38 it. But like they tried the Sunday night baseball thing and it sucked well also sucks like They have they the ones have fucking Ken Rosenthal coming out with his fucking bow tie. No, I think that's Fox, right? Is it I don't let's see Ken Rosenthal who I hate. Yeah, he serves as field reporter for Fox Major League Baseball Okay. Well, the Fox is annoying but that this the Sunday night ones Okay. Well, the Fox is annoying. But the Sunday night ones, it's just the audio is also off. They have the way they have the game mic'd up. You just hear like a, and then the ball, but then it sounds like the ball hitting the glove. It sounds like from far away and then it sounds like they boosted the volume on it as opposed to like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:29:24 The sound mixing on all ESPN broadcasts is basically unlistable. Yeah, it really sucks. I don't I don't like the basketball commentary team. I like Doris Burke fine. But like, yeah, she she's like she's hit and miss for me. Where something like she has this verbal tick that I find incredibly obnoxious where she refers to players by their first name. Mm hmm. And I can't explain why that bothers me because other broadcasters do
Starting point is 00:29:51 it and it annoys the shit on me. I'm just like, like, that's not what the name on the jersey is, right? Like if you're a casual fan and so it's like, oh, Yadis, yeah, like you might know him. Right. You're a casual fan. You probably know Yadis, but like if you're trying to get someone into the sport of basketball, I think doors broke is like the worst place to start. Interesting. Interesting take. They're even noticed that before. I cannot stand it.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Where they're like, I don't give a shit if like and I don't mind it on the NBC sports broadcast, because like those are local market games, right? Like if we're watching like they call it like Kate, what's Kate Scott will be like Tyrese for three. Right. I like like, yeah, that's fine because we're in a local market. Like I'm not, you know. Right. But like these are nationally televised games and not everyone is going to know
Starting point is 00:30:33 who like fucking like Derek White is on the Celtics. Like, yeah, you might know. You probably know, probably know Brown. You might know for Singas. Like, do you know who like some of these fucking like, you don't know. Like if you're of cash, you know, fucking Chris Middleton is or like Jordan. Like. Well, you know what Kate Scott will do though?
Starting point is 00:30:51 She'll she she will she will do that. She'll be like Maxie and then you know, or no Tyrese. She'll like she'll exclaim something. And then like Maxie hits the three like she'll she'll she will tag the last name. Right, right, right. I I really like, oh, I cannot Right. Right. I I really like. Oh, I cannot remember her name. I'm very embarrassed.
Starting point is 00:31:09 One of ESPN's. Commentators for men's college basketball is really fucking good, and she has this really like booming stentorian voice that I really enjoy. I can't remember her name. Yeah. Speaking of Speaking of college basketball, Al's are finally back over 500. Yeah, we beat South Florida. 73-71. Damn, there's a lot burps on this one. Anyway, ESPN deal, they might be open to renegotiation, who knows. The thing is, is that does help pay for the fucking debt. Money goes to the teams.
Starting point is 00:31:48 So I mean, who are they going to give like Turner's broadcasts are honestly arguably worse. Who would they give it to besides Fox? Fox sucks. Fox coverage sucks ass. Yeah, I don't know. We're lucky we have a decent. Our I mean we have.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Yeah, our we have. What's that? When it's crock it's good. Yeah, I like cross the color guy. Yeah. Crock is good. Okay. I do like when when Crock is like what who's this?
Starting point is 00:32:24 Who's the fucking guy that's not Kruk? The normal play by Tom McCarthy, Tom McCarthy, Tom McCarthy and Kruk are great because they like seem to genuinely like each other. Yeah. And also, like, I love when Tom McCarthy and Kruk like just get off top because it's like a 105 gave in the middle of June against like the Marlins. And they're just like, you know, last night I had a flavor of ice cream I didn't enjoy very much. Yeah. And you're just like, you know, last night I had a flavor of ice cream I didn't enjoy very much. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:47 And you're just like, what the hell are you talking about? And then Kruk is like trying to say, talk about like how it gave him the shits without saying it gave him the shits. Yeah. You know, I'll just say, you know, Tom, you know, bathroom wasn't the same, like, they're just trying to get away with stuff.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Or like when they were talking about Cal Raleigh's ass. Oh, Big Dumper, you know why they gave him that name, right? Oh, I could see why. He wouldn't stop talking about it. That was very funny. Go look up John Crook on Cal Raleigh. That was very funny. John Crook is really, he's a treasure.
Starting point is 00:33:19 I do like, there's some commentary just like, I, Jack Edwards and I can't remember the other guy for the Bruins are such Disgraceful homers, but they're very funny Where the guy will be like, you know that guy deserved to be like put in a body bag and left for dead in the streets Behind TD guard you're like what the fuck Yeah, it's graceful hit by Montreal it's like no it wasn't but like it's pretty good hit by Montreal. It's like, no, it wasn't. But like, it's pretty good. Just being just getting getting like setting the tone for the calls to the fucking sports radio.
Starting point is 00:33:55 To let anybody know, right? Who's just like, I I really like. Yeah, I just like I like that ESPN plus will just be like, this is the student feed. Like you're watching this student feed of like VMI Sanford. There's truly like 50 people in this fucking gym on this game I'm watching. Yeah, we have to put this up as part of our deal. No, the conference for these teams in SoCon, they're in SoCon. OK. So you do, by the way, you have like no bandwidth, like you're I don't know what you're downloading. Nothing.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Oh, okay. Or what you're streaming. I'm streaming ESPN plus, which should be fine. That's not caused this much of a delay. What's not a delay? We don't have a delay, but you know. What am I doing wrong? You just, it's, you're pixelated and jumpy.
Starting point is 00:34:43 Oh, you're pixelated and jumpy too. I think it might just be Zen caster fuck Alright And you were pixelated and jumping before I turned on ESPN plus. Oh, okay. Oh My god, so I'm so sorry yawning here Like a bitch. Oh Man, yeah, I'm I'm fading Robot OMS. Yeah, I'm fading. Robot UMPs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Robot UMPs. I want to talk about- Go for it. I think in a future episode, I want to talk more in depth about how the robot UMP system works, but it's not 100% full robot UMPire. Which is ball strike review, right? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:23 So you get two challenges a game. So you save that for like a crucial strike three, ball four kind of situation. I don't like that. I'm gonna be honest with you, and I'm not someone who normally minds like robot, like I actually don't mind robot amps necessarily. I mind like pitching, like reviews in baseball. Like the human element makes it what it is of like,
Starting point is 00:35:44 sometimes the empire is gonna blow calls and like it's, and sometimes you get a benefit from it and sometimes you're not. So, so I'm going to push back here. I think it's okay because it's immediate. They just push a button and then it tells you what it was. Oh, okay. They can reverse it. Yeah. It's not going to, the manager has challenged the call. All right, let's go put it on the screen. It's something like that.
Starting point is 00:36:07 Okay, I wasn't aware. Yeah, I'm much more casual basketball fan than you are, baseball fan, Jesus Christ, than you are. Yeah. Baskerville. Oh my God, we're disgusting today. All right, we still haven't got a chance to go to this deep dive.
Starting point is 00:36:20 We're not gonna do it today. We're already 36 minutes in. We can do a shallow dive. I want to talk about Pat Hover, but I want to actually, actually I think maybe we'll talk about that with Bobby and Alex. We'll talk about Pat Hover. I will say though, I am a, because he was the only, was he the only umpire to have a perfect game? Yeah. And it was that game against the Phillies that we lost. So I am a truther about that.
Starting point is 00:36:47 That wasn't a real perfect game. I bet you are. Yeah. All right. DMs. Hey, Tom, yay, Liam, Isaac, they, them, here. I actually live in Chicago. So a coworker and I went and saw the Bulls Pistons game
Starting point is 00:36:59 in person tonight. That actually sounds like a lot of fun. Yeah. It was like watching last year's Pistons play in this year's Pistons. All right, let me re-series that. It was like watching last year's Pistons play this year's Pistons, which brought a tear to my eye. It also brought a tear to the eye of my coworker.
Starting point is 00:37:15 But he was a Bulls fan, so they were sad about the one single three ball made the entire first half. Sitting next to him was like that one bus meme. Fuck Penn State, fuck Monty Williams, fuck Troy Reaver, fuck fashion. You know the bus meme where they're sitting on the bus. Yeah, like one guy's. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, Bull's Pistons. That sounds, that sounds fun, genuinely. Well, the Pistons, hey, they knocked off the Celtics last night by like 20 points. They're, they're a feisty bunch. Yeah. Reminds me of the, quite, but like the bad boy Pistons, like 2003, 2004.
Starting point is 00:37:47 Malice of the Palace? Yeah, yeah, about that, what was that? Sheed? Was that Rashid Wallace? Think so. That Pistons team and maybe Rip Hamilton, I wanna say. It was in, yeah, it was in 2004. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:02 Ron Artest. Ron Artest, yes, yes, yes. Because yeah, it was, yeah, Rick Hamilton was on that team. Steven Jackson, Jermano Nino. He went to, it was from Coatesville. Yeah, Ben Wallace only got six games. Ronartest was suspended for the remainder of the season. Yep.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Yeah. Palace at the Palace. Oh man. And didn't Ronartest change his name to Meta World Peace? Meta World Peace, yeah. He's now Meta Sandiford Artest. Sure. All right, man.
Starting point is 00:38:33 All right, you changed your name. Whatever. Doesn't matter. All right. Do you see the painting? I do see the painting. That looks like a tasty gobbler. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:45 This is high. This is a – I can't remember if it's Mike or Meek. I'm sorry. Mike is fake. Sorry if I get it wrong. Yeah. You mentioned when you see the gobbler. I'm not sure if it'll show up on SMS, but here it is.
Starting point is 00:38:56 There it is. I could see someone confusing it for PB and J. I could, but without knowing that delicious stuffing layer below. That's a nice painting. I do like that painting. Yeah. My life is giving me live updates on dinner. Oh, nice. I like how the cranberry sauce is leaking out.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Yeah, me too. Yeah. I'm gonna fuck that sandwich. I was thinking it's more like, it's like, Christ, this is like, when you do this amendment to me. Yeah, or like the P8. It's of me. Yeah. Or like the P.A. It's a big fucking sandwich. Yeah. I'm taking the gobbler down for the crowd.
Starting point is 00:39:32 This is what Wawa once was, you know, just just a Philly asshole holding the hoagie. Like you used to have a deli. You used to be good. All right. Oh, my next bug of me. Um, oh my God, Rashin. I'll do very long. You're gonna do it. All right. Rashid, stop texting this. Just leave a voice out. This is, this is, this is, uh, this is yeah, Rashin, you might, you might need to start doing that. Hey Tom, it's Rashin reporting live from beneath the cozy mountain of blank. It's my guardians finally played baseball on Saturday
Starting point is 00:40:06 after their previously mentioned underwhelming off season full of lateral moves while leaving two big questions to be answered at second base in right field. And the only shoe in for the starting rotation is opening on opening day is Tanner Bybee. OK, paragraph one down. I'm hoping my favorite customer, Tristan McKenzie, has gotten over the funk he was going through last year and earned a spot in the rotation
Starting point is 00:40:26 because otherwise he's out of options and I don't want to lose him. Sticks is a fantastic pitcher when he's on his A-game and just a nice guy in general. Right Field is a balance between Will Brennan, loves Silly Willie but have come to terms with the fact that he's a quad A guy. I'm not even gonna try it. John Kenzie, Noel, aka Big Christmas. Big man with aura hit ball far but had an atrocious chase rate, hopefully his plate dissonance improved. Then Proxmox chased the latter and George Valera who have both been in the system for a while but haven't been able to stay healthy enough to make it to the bigs. Hopefully the latter's foot stops exploding every two seconds. Hey when that happens.
Starting point is 00:40:54 Yeah me too. And me and Ross doing karaoke. Valera's knee is healed enough to where they both have a shit fair shot as well. Second base race is mostly between Gabriel Arias and prospect Juan Brito. Then to Alessio, Angel Martinez and Daniel Schneeman. Arias has been a mediocre bat since he first came out a couple of years ago. He was sent down to AAA after losing out on shortstop to Brayan Roquio. So this is pretty much his final chance to prove himself in the organization.
Starting point is 00:41:24 Schneeman and Martinez had good debuts last year, especially Schneeman who was mashing at first but kind of fizzled out. But both definitely needed more time in AAA to probably develop. Martinez is also a more utility guy than an everyday infielder. Sed Soder slammed Tana. That's funny. At first base, Jose at third base, Quan left field, Lane Thomas center field, and Bo Nailer slash Austin Hedges catching. Yeah, Lane Thomas is actually playing football baseball now. Our guy is Lane Johnson, bud. Oh, nevermind.
Starting point is 00:41:49 Nailed it. Can't wait to see what the spring and this season holds for the Guardians, fighting off season where the cheap-ass Dolan sure as hell didn't spend like they were last year's fourth best team in baseball. Kazashin is still very much going brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Still the best in the NBA tie with OKC at the break and scored 91 points in the first half against an immediately post Look at Maverick's back on ground today. Sorry. This one was a godly long. Yes, it fucking was but I'm finally done yapping Go guards go Cavs go Phil's go birds. Fuck the Dolan's fuck pet state and wrong pod I know deal with it rest in peace null shake give my condolences to Rod's. All right, I'll read the second one, too I just I want to have a note. I see you're using the like Americanist Respelling you can use IPA. I prefer it actually. And I can actually read a give Liam tell Liam how to read it.
Starting point is 00:42:35 Shut up. Dolan is dead and burning in the layer of hell reserved of petty pitching shitbag billionaire sports teams owners. Woo! May Jerry Royce's story soon follow. Hopefully this means now that the purse strings are finally prior from the latest cold dead hands that some poll won't have much as an iron grip on them or even better it will sell a majority stake to someone actually willing to spend the rest of their playoff contenders should instead of funneling money to his brothers repeated failed.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Political campaigns yes and no. I'm just repeating what I said in other spots. Let's go into Mailbag 2. Go guards go fails. Fuck the Dolans. Fuck Penn State. Yes. And now to get through our seven voicemails Good fucking Lord. Oh Boy, oh I forgot to upload them
Starting point is 00:43:18 Goddamnit It's pretty quick. We got a lot seven Hold on. It's pretty quick. We got a lot. Seven. Seven voicemails. Seven of them. Well, if we can't get through all of them. We're gonna get through. I have till seven. And I'm gonna drag this out. Alright. We'll have to go through the first five and then there's not enough room.
Starting point is 00:43:38 So, we'll delete them. Alright. Alright. The first one's from Sean. Hi. My's from Sean. Hi, my name is Sean. My pronouns are he and I'm calling for 10k losses. I just wanted to comment on, I asked you guys for advice on the best Philadelphia wings and I got told about these garlic wings that were. Philly.
Starting point is 00:44:26 Oh, garlic, right? What are you going to do? But as soon as I started watching, oh, my God. Philly won that game from the beginning. Yes, even with a Kwan doing nothing. And I say this as a fucking giant stand. Oh, that's tough. And yeah, I'm a giant fan, so I get to sorry.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Have the we beat the Patriots twice and I can't complain about anything for several decades, even though. The day we signed Daniel Jones to a long-term Pyrone contract, I told, I'm thinking how to phrase this, I told multiple friends that I couldn't say anything but I had strong feelings about that and how it would not make me be able to really root for the Giants for at least five, maybe 10 years. And we'll see how that goes. But those Philadelphia parmesan garlic wings, I even did them super over the top with garlic powder to dry marinate them and 20 months parmesan grated over the top at the end. They were really fucking good wings and they should be an available
Starting point is 00:46:08 flavor nationwide. But KC BBQ was still a lot better. Oh, well, we all have our own palates. I don't know what to say right now because everybody else would say your birds, but as the Giants said, no. That's, you know, I understand. So, I guess I'm going to say, Liam, your description. Oh. It is gone.
Starting point is 00:46:38 Sorry, Sean. It's a three-minute limit. I should probably put that in there. But yeah, the garlic parm wings, I'm gonna have to like write the recipe down because I cloned, there's a place in Doylestown called Mosquito Grill that those are pretty good. It's a fucking disgusting place which is that's how you know they're good. Right. And if you get garlic parm and it's like a garlic sauce with with Parmesan shredded on top, that's not
Starting point is 00:47:07 the right. It's a hot sauce with a shitload of fucking garlic and Parmesan mixed in. And you want to get the, for those who don't know, in this case, you don't want to chop up the garlic fresh. You want to get that fucking cube jar garlic for, yeah. Yeah. That's what works. So you want to do that. But it's regular. It's so it's like hot sauce, butter, Parmesan and garlic. That's the sort of trick. I had cloned the recipe from them.
Starting point is 00:47:37 It's been a while. I'm not sure if I have it written down anywhere. Oh, it's mosquito grill like mesquite. Yeah, dude, their health inspector reports have been better lately, but yeah, they kind of. I want to try whatever franken sauce is. I like super backs. Franken sauce, I think, is a mix of everything.
Starting point is 00:48:01 The dry rub is also really good. I bet. I'm not a dry rub guy, but. Thurs is pretty solid. Oh man, I just saw that they just fired the shitload of meteorologists. Yeah, it's going in the bad news slide and well, there's your problem that I got to record. Yeah. People will die about this, die over this.
Starting point is 00:48:24 And guess what? AccuWeather, I know you want to take over the forecasting, but if they don't have meteorologists because you're just going to steal the data that they have and like – It won't matter. It won't matter. Yeah, so fuck you. Like, talking about the stuff – like that's less staff from National Weather Service when there's hurricanes. That's less people on call when there's hurricanes. Yep. That's less people won't call when there's a weather emergency, right? And actually that's going to impact the economy too because there's a lot of different people who rely on National Weather Service.
Starting point is 00:48:53 And it's not just weather nerds, right? It's different industries, it's agriculture. They all rely on that. And everyone, every fucking private meteorologist you see, whether it's the Philly Weather guy, what is that guy with the fucking real thick Philly axis, Bobby Martich to AccuWeather, they all use the data from NOAA. They all use their data. They all use their models. It's just their personal interpretation and forecasting experience and how they've used it.
Starting point is 00:49:31 That's what they're doing. All right. And 99 percent of the time, the weather service guys are the ones who are right. Right. That's the job. They don't have a TV station and they're not allowed to make their website any more user friendly because it's it's not allowed. We live in the dumbest fucking country on planet earth. We're turning into fucking Argentina Yep, this is what we're turning into
Starting point is 00:49:52 Fucking libertarian dumbass bullshit bullshit nonsense. Yep All right, we got What we got next but thanks Sean for calling in Appreciate it. I'm glad you didn't lie and say, go birds. I appreciate that you remain a hater. Yeah, you sucked it up. We appreciate that. All right. Speaking of beleaguered public employees. Oh boy, Postman Wookie.
Starting point is 00:50:16 We got Wookie. Hey, Tom. Hey, Liam. It's Postman Wookie on a surprising day off from the post office. Pronouns-he-him and do a quick little arena ball update since apparently everyone's enjoying these. First of all, AF1's biggest free agent Darius Prince has finally announced that he is no long. He is not returning to the Albany Firebirds. They're a team he's been with since 2021. He's won multiple A.F. one championships with back when they were known as the Empire. This is a hell of a career out of it.
Starting point is 00:50:58 He was briefly a part of the Eagles in 2018 before he was cut in preseason. He would go on and become a arena bowl MVP for the Philadelphia Soul before that league went under. Had a disagreement with Pay. They didn't want to give him more money for despite all he's done for this team and shocked the world by going to Corpus Christi. Nobody really expected him to go there. Everyone thought he was going to go to, uh, books various crantons since he's kind of played in the area. And he's from the keys port played in the area his entire career.
Starting point is 00:51:38 Um, whether it be the Philadelphia soul, or the old Lehigh Valley Steelhawks. Yeah, big surprise in the AF1 world. And two, possible IFL expansion in the future for Buffalo, New York. Buffalo Bills legends Stevie Johnson and Fred Jackson apparently are teaming up to So Bill's Legends, Stevie Johnson and Fred Jackson apparently are teaming up to bring back the Buffalo Destroyers, which was the name of an old AFL team from the early 2000s. Yeah, apparently they're going full speed with this and honestly the AFL needs a lot more East Coast presence. They currently just have two East Coast ISL teams amongst their 14, them being the Massachusetts Pirates and the Jacksonville Sharks.
Starting point is 00:52:39 The other furthest East team is Indianapolis. Anyways, I hear the baby having a party in his crib right now, so I should probably go check on him. Keep up the good works guys and both Van Wookie out. Also, fuck you on musk. Yup. You ain't lying. All right. Thank you for the update. We got Wayne and there was a lot of asterisks on the police mail transcript.
Starting point is 00:53:11 Hey, Tom here, William, it's Wayne, pro-man as he him. Somewhere near Walton Brick Road in the shadow of the main stand at Anfield after probably one of the wildest fucking matches I've ever seen in my goddamn life. Oh, I want a full album of the way you're just talking. It started with an opening goal by Everton. I can't remember who the fuck scored. And then it was a goal from the Calistar, Maga won one. Towards the 75th minute, Mo Salah made it 2-1 Liverpool. And then right before the f***ing full-time whistle, Everton got a f***ing equalizer to nut it up a 2-2.
Starting point is 00:53:56 It was reviewed by VAR, Michael Oliver was a f***ing VAR referee, f*** fucking improved it on the match ends. And the last time I noticed, Darby, Eric Goodson Park ends, Leviton two, Liverpool two. Um, down near saw six fights getting out of the fucking away end, uh, walking up the fucking street, uh, trying to keep the fucking low key at this point. There's a lot of fucking angry people, uh, around Anfield cell. And at this point, I'm just trying to walk back to the center because at this point, I don't know what the fuck's going to happen on the buses.
Starting point is 00:54:36 So even with the draw at Liverpool gets seven points ahead in the premier league. Uh, but everything gets the fucking Dragon Knights with a late winner. There's all people on the pitch. It was fucking the most insane fucking match I've ever seen in my entire life. And Jesus fuck I wanted to get the fuck out of there as soon as possible. Here's hoping Liverpool can fucking bounce back properly against Wolves on Saturday because this is going to be a fucking big result. And Everton probably has a momentum trying to stay alive with their possible relegation,
Starting point is 00:55:18 dry save off relegation. Stay well. Hopefully, they get back to the US in one piece. See you later. Good luck. So so this is where where where the finer details of fully a little fully.
Starting point is 00:55:39 They're going to riot because they had to draw. Yeah, I don't get that. I guess because Liverpool always wins. They're doing really well this year. So as I know, I don't know anything about soccer, man. I know that I ever 10 won last year. I like I nominally cheer for Liverpool. So that was the team I picked in high school, right?
Starting point is 00:56:00 Also, they had they had the socialist manager for a while. Yeah. Yeah, I fuck with Liverpool. Yeah, I'm looking at. Well, congratulations not getting killed, Wayne. That we know of. Okay, apparently they don't force fan segregation. That seems like a poor idea.
Starting point is 00:56:27 Or they used to not. But the rivalry is more intense. I'm looking at Wikipedia. Oh, and there's a lot of red cards because they're like and there was red cards on both sides. So maybe that's what it was. OK. All right. I'm looking at trying to OK.
Starting point is 00:56:43 It was I thought it was Mosulah got red card, which would be very funny. Did I show you the picture? It's two kids from England and they're bowing down to Mosulah. And in like, it's like a real picture from an airport. And then behind is like Nasser just smiling. Like he's Simba's dad in heaven, Mufasa.
Starting point is 00:57:12 Yeah, I find that very humorous. All right. All right, we got another Wookie. Yeah, that's right, Wookie too. Wookie harder. Oh, I'm pretty sure Wayne came back safe because of the shit that I saw him post in the fucking Discord. And he's like, can I, do I have to delete this? I said, no, history should know. And I can't even, I'm not even going to say what it is. Where is it?
Starting point is 00:57:39 It's in the off topic channel. Oh, but here I go. It's where he was suggesting that we have our first live show at Artie's Bar and Grill in French town. We can't say it. It's an insult to these two. Scary kids, scaring kids played? That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:58:01 Is that what we're seeing? I don't know what I'm saying. Are you in the discord? Yeah, right now. On the off topic? Yep. Do you see what Wayne posted yesterday at 345 p.m.?
Starting point is 00:58:11 Oh, yeah, I see it. Micro wrestling event. Yeah, I'm not going to say the word. Yeah, I'm not going to say the word either. Can you believe that still exists? Yeah, I can believe that. People are fucking gruesome. We work in the helping professions, Tom.
Starting point is 00:58:29 God damn it. We don't have to objectify people like this. I know, I know. I can't believe that still exists. All right, let's just look at, that's how I know Wayne's back safe. Fucking Jesus Christ. Hey guys, postman Wookie once again.
Starting point is 00:58:47 Hey Tom, hey William. Hey bud. From M.E.M. Kind of got an emergency arena ball update. Uh oh. Who folded now? Got word last night that apparently, well, sort of like around, back around Thanksgiving when the National Arena League was regularly putting out its schedule, out of like around Thanksgiving when the National Rental League was originally put out of schedule, out of the blue, they had left Corpus Christi off the schedule and
Starting point is 00:59:13 said that Corpus, the Corpus Christi tritons had not met the obligations and thus were leaving them off the schedule. Oh. Corpus Christi went ahead and said, okay, if you want to be that way. They went ahead within a month and joined the viable arena football one, which now has a TV deal with vice TV, by the way. What? And have since gone on to sign like star players like Darius Prince who has an AFL MVP with the Philadelphia Soul.
Starting point is 00:59:51 Apparently the National Arena League now has sour grapes that he has gone and on paper has been really successful in the off season since. And our national arena league is planning on suing AF1 and purpose for Detroit for breaking their whole league agreement that they signed back in August or June or July, whenever it was when they originally joined the national arena league. They did something similar to the West Texas desert hawks when they left to join the AFL. They had signed a three-year deal and then left early because following 2023, five of the six teams left the National Arena League included
Starting point is 01:00:38 and they just said like, hey, we're going to get out of this. But yeah, I don't know what the National League is thinking considering that they said this team wasn't meeting league obligations, cut them out of the schedule and moved on without them. And they expected this team to sit around and do nothing for a year and think about what they did.
Starting point is 01:01:07 Like, no, you actually tried harming this team. They went ahead and did their separate ways. One could argue the league itself broke its obligations by doing this with this team. So just thinking you guys would enjoy this little bit of drama that's starting up right before the season start for arena ball. But it's yeah. Have a good look at this fucking league. Leagues are insane.
Starting point is 01:01:41 I feel like I. How do you track this walking? I don't know. I feel like it's like left this party splitting. It's a football league reconstituted. Yeah, it's like IRA. So exactly. I feel like one could actually write a pretty funny sitcom based on arena football. It just.
Starting point is 01:01:58 Lasso worked. Yeah, like sort of. Do you know, I've never seen a single episode of Ted Lasso. I've seen like two, dude. No, yeah. It's fine. I barely watch TV anymore except for sports. But no, I think that would be a really funny, funny idea. Yeah, everyone people talk about, oh, you got to watch this next show. This show is like, it's not for me. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:02:19 I don't know. I'm still reading my books with ships on them. I'm still reading my books with ships on them. I will never apologize. Did I send you that picture? It said men will do anything to avoid going to therapy. It's just all the ship books I have. No, you go to therapy. What are you talking about? I haven't got a therapy in like two years.
Starting point is 01:02:34 I was released from therapy. I have a new therapist. Oh, good bed. Good. Good. That's good. She's a good girl. I'm a good girl. I'm a good girl. I'm a good girl. I was released from therapy. I have a new therapist.
Starting point is 01:02:46 Oh, good, bad. Good. Good, that's good. She's like 10 years old, unfortunately. Not literally, obviously, but she's a trainee at Penn. Oh, okay. So she's like, I'm a therapist. And I'm like, you're fucking, you're a child.
Starting point is 01:03:01 What are you talking about? I know, my wife's therapist is younger And I was like, listen, listen, just see, see how it works. You never know. Sometimes people are wise, you know, beyond their years. And if it doesn't, you always find someone else. But like, what, what it was, it was like after like two sessions, like, no, I was like, let's just try. Give it a chance. Right. Yeah. All right. I was like, let's just try. Give it a chance, right? Yeah. All right, hour three.
Starting point is 01:03:27 Do you want to do Micah, then we'll bail? Nah, get through it all. Oh, god damn it. You're torturing me. Fuck you. You're getting out there. Yeah, let's do Micah and then bail. All right, thank you.
Starting point is 01:03:39 Hi, this is Micah again. Fuck. Seeing him, something to see. Hopefully, moving to Philly maybe within this year. I'm not sure but I am keeping my fingers crossed. First of all, I want to say congrats on the Eagles winning the Super Bowl. Go birds. Sorry for being this low energy today.
Starting point is 01:04:00 I just woke up about an hour ago. Anyway, I heard Aaron Rogers got booted from the Jets. Was it the Jets? And I'm pretty glad about that, really. Like, fuck him. Fuck that guy. I'm glad he got booted off the Jets. I don't have any actual opinions on the Jets, though. I don't have any actual opinions on the jet so and here's my football take is that I'm 25. I just learned while listening to the Super Bowl episode of the podcast that Cooper Dejean just turned 22 and that gave me a bit of a shock. So I probably shouldn't be because I can't imagine anyone above 30 being able to withstand that many hits in the field.
Starting point is 01:04:55 That's a new try. I do. Yeah. I could be out there doing football, but instead I have decided to just draw cool stuff for a living and also because I love art, I guess. One more thing. I'll try to send the picture of the gobbler I painted that I mentioned last time, um, to text. I'm not sure if it'll get through, but hopefully it will.
Starting point is 01:05:33 Um, thanks. Go bird. Fuck the chief. Fuck Taylor Swift. I feel vindicated as a Taylor Swift hater for the longest time. Thanks again. Have a nice day. Yes. Welcome to the club. Have a nice day. Yes.
Starting point is 01:05:45 Welcome to the club. I'm not a hater. I'm not at that club. You're in that club. I don't hate her. I just don't. I love Taylor Swift. I don't.
Starting point is 01:05:53 She can do no wrong. I don't care. Let me just get the shrine out of view real quick. Yeah. Actually, I think we could finish. We got two more. It's just Charlie. It's just Charlie.
Starting point is 01:06:04 He deserves his. So Mika, thank you. Thank you that. We got two more. It's just Charlie. It's just Charlie. He deserves his. So Mika, thank you. Thank you for calling in. Appreciate it. Welcome to Philly. Yeah. Congratulations. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:13 Sorry. Yeah, sorry. They should have you do the mural or paint that as a mural for the mural arts program. That would be pretty tight. Actually, that is probably doable. That would be sick if the mural arts program. That would be pretty tight. Actually, that is probably doable. That would be sick if you could do that. That would be sick. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:31 I just saw Chris Kluwe was dragged out of a town hall meeting protesting MAGA. Yeah, he was. I had thought he was like a libertarian. I knew he was an atheist. No, he's a decent dude from what I understand. He wrote a couple articles for Deadspin before they got ruined. Okay. All right. I'm glad that he's a damn. He said, MAGA is profoundly corrupt, unmistakably anti-democracy, and most importantly, it's explicitly a Nazi movement. You may have replaced the Swastika with a red hat, but that's what it is.
Starting point is 01:07:06 Damn. All right. Well, Chris Kluwe doing direct action. Chris Kluwe, come on the show. Yeah. I guarantee you we could. I don't think we... All right.
Starting point is 01:07:18 I don't think we can guarantee, but I first heard him on a... When I first heard him, I was like, Mr New Atheist, on an atheist podcast. All right, so DM him. I wonder if we can get him. DM him, see if we can get him on. Well, you have more followers. All right, I'll DM him, hang on one second. Is he on Twitter or is he on Blue Sky now?
Starting point is 01:07:39 He's probably not on Twitter. No, he's not, he is not on there. Cluscluey Blue Sky. He is on on there. Close, close, blue sky. He is on blue sky. OK, I'll have him. Chris Warcraft, a blue sky that socials at him. Yeah, that's him. Fucking nerd. He got fired from being a freshman football coach. If you want to know what Magda does to communities.
Starting point is 01:07:59 Good for him, man. Yeah. All right. All right. Let's just the Charlie. Also, just one other thing I saw is that Ron DeSantis says that Andrew Tate is not welcome in Florida. What the fuck? How bad do you have to be that you're not welcome in Florida? Oh, my God. All right. Let's just the Charlie.
Starting point is 01:08:16 Hey, guys. You're in. Hey, Tom, it's Charlie from Roxburgh. He had given you the union played their last preseason game today in Clearwater. They beat Montreal 1-0. They finally won one out of the four preseason games that they had. They lost all the other ones. A week before the season starts next Saturday at Orlando, the Union did, I don't know if I feel like the off season was pretty much almost
Starting point is 01:08:47 a complete waste because they were barred by FIFA because of failure to pay the parent club of a player that they had on loan, a training fee, which amounted to $700. What? From registering new players during the previous window. What? I think under this new window, they were able to finally add Jovan Lokic from God knows where Serbian 22 year old. Charlie. He's going to fill the defensive role, the sixth role at the base of the diamond.
Starting point is 01:09:19 They'll move Danly Jean-Jacques that they acquired last season to the win position and they moved on with a cash deal Little Sea Jack McGlynn to Houston Dynamo for two million dollars plus 50% of its additional sales which they've already turned around and may have finalized a deal with a U-Grind under 22 national. These people come from teams I don't really know. For a sucker for over $3 million. I mean, that's a complimentary way. So we'll see if that deal gets finalized. There's also an additional rumor. They did had a center back from Newborough in the Argentine league earlier and they've signed three players from U2 team, Nelson Pierre, Eddie Davis, West Westfield.
Starting point is 01:10:21 The children are there. It's very exciting to see the centerpiece in Philadelphia, you'll be a little child. It's great. They did announce their new lightning kit which looks suspiciously a lot like the one from three years ago. For $194 if you get a name on it, for the authentic, buy VHK until they tell you not. Don't buy fanatics. Don't buy from the team store. Terrible. The season is going to start Saturday. We had the high of the parade today and now the real horror and fun will begin coming up. Hopefully Wayne isn't in jail for sectarianism in Ireland.
Starting point is 01:11:08 Later fellas. Yeah. That explains why Wayne was cursing so much. It does. Spend time in Ireland. They say fucking, we say um. Thanks Charlie. Let's listen to Charlie again. Hey guys. Yay Liam. Hey Tom. Charlie from Roxborough. He him giving you your first official. So now he reported the season.
Starting point is 01:11:36 The union went to Orlando and did win. Again, Orlando City for one. They stopped talking on speaker's in rather easily, but tie it with a tug. Borevo goal, third, 24 minutes into his first half and then proceeded to get two quick goals, three quick goals and start the second half. He comes to sorry. God's that we were all off the turnover from a defender and then Borivo got the last goal.
Starting point is 01:12:11 Union did give up another goal late to win the game 4-2. They will be home against the FC Cincinnati. They'll start the season at Subaru Far. The young guns did start, two of them did start, Makelena from South Africa and Frankie Westfield started it right back along with recent acquisition Jovan Lukich as a defensive central midfielder. It looked like they played a flat 4-4-2 and had a much higher press that seems to catch a lot of MLS teams in the first opener out of sorts with the ball, but did give up a lot of chances. Andre Blake did make several key saves late. It's going
Starting point is 01:13:03 to be an interesting season as long as they keep putting Phil in the back of the net. It's going to be, it looks a lot better. The union finally getting the new coach bounce first game into the season. We'll see if when they play at home, when they don't, when they can't really press, the L team sit back on them. They have to actually break teams down by having more of the ball when they would prefer to press and not have the ball.
Starting point is 01:13:32 But we'll see. Later, fellas. Bye, Charlie. Thanks. Thanks, Charlie. I'm trying to get off of the fucking internet right now. It's very driving you to madness. Yeah, it's driving me to madness. It's it's fucking there's now a Department of Education DEI snitch tip line. Oh, that's terrific. Which includes any publicly funded K to 12 schools. So feel free to go use that tip line to put in all
