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 just to come to Philadelphia and stand here and dodge ice balls we the Dallas Cowboys had assassinated John Kennedy those are some of the best slurs I mean I I will say as someone who is dating someone who's like... Who says slurs. Corinne's mom is Italian.

And I have to bury my dad's hatred of the Italians deep down. Like in a hole in the desert? Yeah, because it was just like... It's like when people, when Americans are like, Oh, mozzarella. And it's just like, shut the goddamn hell up. It's fucking mozzarella. Okay, I don't care oh, mozzarella. And it's just like, shut the goddamn hell up. Yeah. It's fucking mozzarella. Okay.

I don't care what it is. Sorry. No, that's what I'm saying. Like, that's what. Why don't you go sink some migrant boats in the bed? Well, I had, speaking of fucking South Philly Italians, I had an interaction on Twitter. Sorry. With that.

There's the first mistake there. With that. What was it? Re-open PA lady. Well, I found someone DM me was like, yo, just so you know, like, just be careful because that there's the first mistake there with that what was it re uh reopened pa lady who i found someone dm'd me was like yo just so you know like just be careful because if this chick gets mad at you she's gonna fucking start trying to dox you and she's like a neo-nazi so just like fyi and they sent me like an antifa philly thread and so this this woman i i uh i posted uh basically a uh she said something about

yeah I don't know something dumb and I said just move the Collinswood already but I said in the Italian they're like oh well this is a oh yeah I saw that you said it in Italian and they said using Italian back he was racist which is just like I mean it always makes you think of if you guys

ever seen was it the young ones yeah yeah yeah it's like a it's this uh like uh bbc comedy show that ran for like two seasons in like the 80s and whatever it's like a cult classic sort of thing but one of my favorite things from it that i think about it easily like every day that i've ever spent on the internet has been uh one of the characters is trying to nail himself to a cross. And he says the problem with it is you can never get the last nail in. And I just think about that every single time

I see someone trying to make themselves a martyr on the fucking internet. Oh, yeah. It's fucking just like, it's like, you know, speaking Italian, like I can fucking, it's because I can actually speak Italian,

you fucking fake ass South Philly. Well, I mean, what is Italian anyway, except like, yeah, speaking Italian, it's because I can actually speak Italian, you fucking fake-ass South Philly. Well, I mean, what is Italian anyway, except, I don't know, Spanish with hand gestures? Linguistic abortions. Man, there needs to be a good insult like bog lombard or some shit like that. In Northern Italian, you just bog lombards or...

Well, I mean, and it's also funny to me, too like you know even uh what is it like 150 years after italy supposedly became a nation state but like uh you know it's still really just like there's northern italy there's southern italy and there's sicily they're all like kind of vaguely hate each other oh northern italians are super fucking racist against southern italians it's insane like like yeah well because they're're all they all kind of like vaguely want to be Swiss. Yeah. Well, look at me.

So like I the northern Italian side of me, that's where I get the red beard. It's not Irish. It's fucking northern Italians. I'm looking at this tweet thread. This one makes me want to put a gut in my mouth. Yeah. My husband or children are Jewish, but keep it up. Yeah.

But you're not. so don't speak on it yeah i'll tell i'll tell you when you can talk about judaism stealing jewish valor she really wants to be a she was actually there she was there a book involved we just didn't see it oh that's like that like the conservative persecution complex they really wish that there was like desperately. Cause like, like, like growing up, um,

you, you would Catholic, you would run into these weird, like evangelical Catholics. And they were like, did you know that there's like a Holocaust against Christians in North Korea? It's like, no,

there's not. They probably deserve it. And I mean, as a, as a, you know, two other people who grew up in the, uh,

you know, in the Northeast, it's really weird to me in, but in particular, like, uh, as, you know, to other people who grew up in the, you know, in the Northeast, it's really weird to me. In particular, like, like. It was such a revelation finding out that there were Catholics who took it seriously and not just like as a yuck. Yeah. And not just like, you know, everyone's like, yeah, you know, Catholic, like, you know, going on Christmas and Easter, like. Yeah. And then, you know, you go and you find that there's all these like weird traffic path lunatics who like think the Pope is a heretic and, you know, really want to actually start a fucking crusade if they ever leave, you know, like whatever, like, you know, darkened vestibule they've set up in. It's the weirdest fucking shit. Oh, yeah.

Instead of vacantists are the weirdest fucking people on the planet. Any of those weird fucking, yeah, instead of a Conte or what's the other one? There's a couple different variations in the same theme. But I just love that Pope Francis is basically a giant troll to them. And like, yeah, you really like that fucking fancy latin mass don't you guys well you're not allowed to do that anymore and like all the times that you see like uh what's his name fucking uh like roger or whatever the fuck like you know trying to speak to the pope's manager because they don't think he's catholic enough like fuck guys like i don't know that might be

a sign you need to like you know let go the keyboard for a while and go outside yeah like as i said this too at my grandmother's funeral a couple weeks ago to another family member just fucking become protestant already yeah i mean it's just i don't know it's fucking weird and it's particularly weird where i just catholicism has always just kind of been an identity like my hometown was so Catholic that there were two different parishes one for the French Canadians and one for the Irish and Italians because like

you know the French Canadians wanted to do the French Mass and no one else had time for that shit oh yeah we had that or at least we did have two parishes up until you know it turned out that you know 70% of the priests in Massachusetts were like touching kids. And, you know, then the Boston Archdiocese had to like sell off every third church building to pay for all the, you know, settlements.

I remember my dad going through the list and just being like, ah, know what I knew? Like, just like comparing it to the notes he had. Oh God. Yeah. I mean, I married in high school, Framingham, Massachusetts.

Throw it up, baby. Yeah. I mean, I, I know a guy who, uh, went to St.

Brendan's where father Gagan was the parish priest as a kid. And, uh, he used to joke that he wasn't, uh, pretty enough. Uh, Oh boy.

Jesus. Have fun editing this in public without headphones. That's all right. You know, hopefully there's someone that like went to like there's like three Catholic churches in like a square block that like where I went to school. And there's like St. Albert's like St. George and Nativity. And they're all fucking for different ethnicities. The one St. George is a fucking Lithuanian because they were got sick of the polls i guess the polls were being like uh oh you know you don't know how hard it took me not to use the slur there

because i grew up just saying that normally that's okay we have ross we can say it right that's how it works well i am actually part polish so i'm allowed to say sorry oh you are going over yeah there is a there is a like a a company in bridesburg just called polak something yes there is and i just every time i drive past i'm like oh yeah it is called polak it's kind of funny that that was like an entire uh like sub-genre of jokes that people told like they were just kind of like a thing that was in popular culture like the 70s like everyone just had like dumb Polish jokes and like that was just like a thing the ethic the ethnic comedians that just that's all they did was just like let me see what group is slightly marginalized and I'm going to go off on them

when I remember being like I remember being a kid and like going through like some old like Doonesbury book and it shows like the characters just like telling polish jokes and it was just like and so you know i'm like they're like thinking like oh this is that's really funny meanwhile like i don't know any fucking polish stereotypes because this was like 1998 no one gave a shit like yeah it's just wild it kind of it kind of uh was was very prevalent in my high school just because it was such a mixed group of different you know irish italian polish where the three major ones but then you had puerto ricans and you had uh you know one or two black kids which i feel really bad for oh yeah i imagine that that uh was not a wellspring of sensitivity and diversity at that point. Not that part of not that any part of Philly is.

No, no, no. I mean, you should just stay in your neighborhood, Tom. That's that's the thing. That's what I learned on Twitter. You're because you're invading culture. You're you're ghetto, if you will. I'm erasing South Philly, Italian uh burning the gravy frank rizzo statue uh i'm gonna i'm gonna fucking go down there i'm gonna take my air rifle and i'm gonna make sure

that no one gets to the fucking columbus statue like fuck so do you remember have you ever seen the facebook group like taking back our south philadelphia streets i've seen shit from it okay that sounds so unbelievably cursed so it is uh so at one point uh we like roz actually made like a parody of it on on facebook and the guy who runs it like threatened to sue him and made up all the stuff about roz that like roz had called him and threatened his children and his wife and family uh totally true story and I was like okay uh you can believe this dude's name guy's name is Mark and I was like all right dude like meet me at the Rizzo statue and we'll talk if you're actually convinced this is Roz and I went to the Rizzo statue and then he had agreed to it and then he just blocked me

and I was like I wasn't even looking for a fight necessarily. I just wanted you to back up what you had to say. And I just that's so fucking indicative of South Philly. It's like run your mouth, run your mouth, run your mouth. I don't get scared of like the black family that moved in. Yeah. Yeah. There's there's there's a it's they're all a bunch of fucking cowards.

And a good job. Nice Italian last name. I had the same thought so uh 10 10 minutes in now the the italian part of uh the italian part of scotland yeah famously yeah oh jesus christ i'm like trying to conjugate that in my brain like don't uh yeah i can't nothing makes sense anymore yeah i mean uh my uh i mean we keep uh all the uh the italians of boston stay in uh the north end oh yeah and um the funny thing there is that you know throughout all of covid like naturally they were like the the hotbed of all the guys who like wanted to stay open regardless of any like you

know maxine or vasking requirements and you know wanted to like pack people in to like in you know indoor dining regardless of like you know even before there was a vaccine or whatever and like they don't want to close they don't want to just do takeout flatted all the rules and now now they're all pissed off because uh you know you can do indoor dining again but they all got used to having like these tables outside on like hanover street and the city wants them to pay a fee essentially for the parking spot that they're taking up outside their restaurant that they get to use for their business and they're all pissed off about it so it's like you know like coming or going, just like not happy.

And I said something a while ago. It's like, I've never, I don't think there's any other group of people in the city of Boston who are in as nice of a neighborhood who are as miserable to deal with on a regular basis. It's a fucking lovely neighborhood. When I was up there over the summer, I had, there was a, I walked past past the guy it was like the politically incorrect tour and it was like it politically incorrect

was in italian flag colors of course and the one time i walked past him he's like yeah so i didn't care if they called me a i'll probably believe that but that's a slur for italian he's like yeah i didn't care we just you we i throw it right back at him and we walk past and my wife's like all right we got it we got to make i like, I want to hear what he says. He's going to say the N-word. You know, I know he's going to say it. He's going to say it. I want to hear him say it.

You have to tip extra. And then you get the N-word pass. It actually has a picture of Mark Wahlberg's face on it. It actually doubles as a slur for a Vietnamese person pass. It's handy. Two in one, man. Yeah. I mean, you know, see, that's how you get the deals as a traveler.

You got to get those local sort of things. It gets you on the T for free. And yet still less embarrassing than going on a Segway tour. I like Segway tours. I likeways i always have okay it's your cancelable opinion i mean i just said a slur i won't bleep that out but they'll cancel you for that for liking segways yes but why they're just the dorkiest possible shit yeah whatever i just there's no logic behind any of that shit but anyway so 13 minutes in

did you guys know this is a sports podcast yeah we've seized the radio stations this is no longer a sports podcast this is shit you're listening to WTYP 69 FM home of the slurs the fighting slurs.

The fighting slurs. Yeah. I used to work in a warehouse for a while with a guy who all he would listen to is sports radio all day long. God, that was the most depressing shit. Just W-E-E-I for like fucking eight hours a day. And it was just like it would just melt my fucking soul. Just like the worst possible shit and just but and it wasn't even so bad when it was just like i don't know like dennis and callahan or like whatever fucking shit but then it would you know then it would they start taking

collars and it would be you know all you know fucking teddy from quincy yeah like opinions on black catchers yeah like you know teddy teddy and revere like talking about you know what do you think the patch should do this season it's like no one cares dude just like go just just go back to baggage handling it's fine that's uh that's the same as like dave from it causes day from delco how's it going it's always dave from delco all right guys listen uh uh so i was fucking oh sorry like he gets bleeped oh sorry I'll try not to do it again. You hear cars beeping out and he's doing 90

in his fucking white panel van on the blue route. Do you remember the guy who was like, I got to take my daughter to the hospital, but I want to say about like Jalen Hurts real quick.

I just want to say Jalen Hurts. That's a true story. That's a true story. Well, I heard, I heard one to the other day. It was like, oh, I understand what they're doing with Mickey Moniac.

I understand putting it with their base. Scott Kingery all over again. These guys, I understand. It's like the Philadelphia accent, it just devolves into just random vowels. Flurs. Yeah, literally. It's vowels, and then every so often, you kind of stop what you're saying, and that's a consonant.

Philadelphia. So, yeah, this is a sports podcast. It's the worst fucking accent in the world and I'll die on that hill. Welcome to 10,000 Losses. This is the only podcast. Yeah, we actually – it's a shame that we had to kill Joe Kasabian. Yeah, yeah. We killed Francis.

That's why we have a random guest voice that you may or may not know. I'm Tom Payne. My pronouns are he, him, and Withry's my co-host. Yay. Liam. Liam Anderson.

My pronouns are also he, him, and we have a guest. We got another one. We trapped him. Yes. Live, bleeding out under the big dig. Yeah, you know, I mean, this is Shox. You know, I mean, this is,

uh, this is shocks. Uh, you might know me from, the other podcast that I guest on. Uh, and you know, I figured because I've never been to Philadelphia and know,

uh, nothing about Philly sports, I would, uh, accept, uh, everyone's kind offer and come on a Philly sports podcast. Uh,

so you've never, you've really never been to Philly. No, I've been to Pennsylvania once. Oh, that's a count. I went to Allentown, Pennsylvania in 2007. Answer the question. Yeah, why?

For the East Coast of OYFest at the Crocodile Rock. Oh, Croc Rock. Wow, there's a name i haven't heard in a minute just uh me and all the uh the keystone state skins you know just uh you know like uh zeke around uh jesus allentown allentown so so liam's in the city i'm from the city, but I'm, I'm in Bucks County. Yeah. And, but between me and Allentown, you might as well be, be, I don't know. I don't even know where to compare it. Cause I don't like to be like anti-country like, like I don't like pencil Tucky.

I don't like that phrase because that says bad things that there's good people in Kentucky. First of all, that's our phrase. Yeah. It's, it's like clan country. Like, like. It is. Yeah. It's like clan country. It is. It's legitimately clan country. I mentioned this in the other podcast. There was a German-American

boot camp in Sellersville, which is halfway between me and Allentown. And the legacy has never really died out, even though the camp's been closed. I went there once in 2007 for a you know three day punk festival I

got arrested on the beginning of the second day and then I spent one day and they don't have because I got arrested in the county seat they don't have local lockup so they put me in the county jail oh nice nice

and then it was supposed to be for two days but the cops So they put me in the county jail. Oh, nice. Nice. Nice. Classic. And then it was supposed to be for two days. But the cops managed to be so corrupt and terrible that they pissed off the magistrate judge who arraigned me. And so once my friends finally got to her, she let me out after 24 hours. But yeah, that's the only time I've ever been to Pennsylvania. Sorry. Yeah. Let's see here um i've driven

through philadelphia once seemed fine it's fine yeah i like it i think i want to say there were some tunnels it's it's it's it's like big dig junior uh yeah it's just like you know like a an eighth of a mile yeah if you drove 95 south you you drove over where uh ton tavern was where the marines were formed okay yeah yeah because they bulldozed the entire historic district to put in fucking 95 oh yeah they do the same thing here uh yeah you know to build the original well actually not even not even really to build the central artery but uh they just bulldoze all of the old west end because it was too full of uh poor people and non-white people and queer people so they uh at least you got the union oyster house still where you can uh you know buy overpriced oysters

get food poisoning and get pickpocketed outside because well and then also we also have uh you know government center which ever since they've built it they've been trying to figure out what they're going to do with the fucking thing because it's just like you know it's just like a quarter mile of you know brick that just like heats up and i saw someone take a shit there i've seen someone take a shit there yeah i've seen somebody puke there i don't think i've ever seen anyone like take a shit there open air toilet i guess i went to uh i went to a boston show there when i was like 13. That's about all I got. So, you know, Philadelphia and Boston, two cities united in spirit, I guess,

especially about hating New York and also shooting in public. So I am trying so hard to keep this on the rails. I'm usually the one at the rails things with dick jokes. uh meanwhile i of course am on the up and up yes well i you know i'm sure toilet flush or screaming will happen in the background probably um just really i mean i just make every podcast that i'm on turn into the zoo crew kind of yeah i mean we've already you know already said we're about sports radio you know yeah just throwing a're about sports radio, you know, just throwing a couple of toilet flush sounds here. And we just, we got a morning zoo crew. Well, the zoo, the zoo crew episodes are an instant.

Listen for me. They are always, I guess, I guess say it's, this is how I, you know, I've leveraged my power of social relationships into real relationships. Yeah. So, I mean, how do you think I ended up as part of the zoo crew? I mean, that's really, you know, I just started listening to hell of a way mean, that's really, you know, I started listening to Hell of a Way to Die and then, you know, went drinking with Joe once. And then now every once a week, I yell into a microphone for an hour and a half.

Like it is a it is something just like, well, there's a problem was kind of like when it was really shitty at the worst of the worst. Thank you. My old job uh those podcasts saved me so i wasn't calling well there's a problem shitty you can't doesn't offend me the only time it's shitty is when it's not uploaded hey uh it's not my fault i'm not responsible for it this week uh you know what why don't we just uh turn this into an episode well i'll put it up i can't i'm not even gonna try to ross's voice like there's just no way i have he's he was born sounding like a like a teamster shop steward i imagine his first word um when i uh but when I moved

So a lot has happened since we last talked, since we last met.

Mickey Moniak was supposed to make the opening day roster. He broke his hand because he got hit by a pitch. That sucks. Let's talk about opening week. All right. Phillies. We started off really nice. Yeah.

Started off. The Schwarm. The Schwarm. Has he gotten a hit since then? Has he not? That's tough. He was formerly of the Red Sox for like a third of the year.

Yeah. Not long. No. That fucking sucks. But we have Nick Castellanos now. He got yelled at his wife for trying to leg out a triple a double into a triple which is awesome um and yeah so i was at the game on sunday how was it uh it was cold uh and it sucked the arm sucked the game was fine it was it was kids opening day where that was a mistake uh i didn't see that seems like that seems like a risky like a risky move yeah yeah especially since like i don't teach grade school for a fucking reason um i did almost see someone get kicked out but there was there

wasn't a fight although there was a fight on opening day uh apparently and one of the guys was wearing a fucking ben simmons shirt so or fuck ben simmons shirt so i mean why would you get mad about that yeah yeah no i didn't think it was awesome but uh i gotta say the bet that the best of the phillies are the most relevant to our podcast is alex alec boom the other night he committed three hours and he was caught on camera saying, I fucking hated here. To DD. We all do,

bud. And, uh, and he was asked after the game, like, Hey, did you say it? And to his credit,

he said, yeah, I said it. I said it, but I didn't mean it. I was really bad at the moment. See, in that moment, you should just stay behind it at that point. Just fucking own it. I said it, but I didn't mean it. Yes, you did. I was really mad at the moment. See, in that moment, you should just stay behind it at that point. Just fucking own it.

He sort of did. And he got a standing O the next game last night. I would honestly rather know that you, like, hate living in whatever fucking Voorhees and, like, you know, you bitch about taking the fucking bridge every day. I live in Voorhees next to the Flyers fucking skate zone because for some reason, every goddamn athlete in the place where a Philly team

has to live in South fucking Jersey. Unless you're Joel Embiid. Yeah, or Reese Hoskins. Or what's his name that used to live in Corinne's parents' building? Well, I'm sure you can give us their address and apartment number and we'll... Yeah, it's 123-go-fuck-yourself.

But yeah, he was getting booed, which, I mean, you make three fucking errors in one game. You're going to get booed, dude. I'm sorry, but you're going to get booed. It'll happen to fucking Kansas City. If there was anyone in the stands. Aw, the stands of the city? But he got a standing order the next day, and the one-line reaction was like, I can't believe

Philadelphia fans wouldn't get upset at this. And it's like, no, you understand, when you tell us fuck off, and then you don't back away from it, you say, no, I said fuck off. I said I meant it. I was mad. And that, to us, is like, all right, he's a real dude.

He's not lying. And that's all you fucking need to make Philadelphia insane. We're pathetic. Yeah. I mean, they revealed that fucking Gibson, who had a great outing, that he didn't know where Broad Street was. And he's been here since, like, fucking July. The stadium stadium is like on broad street it's oregon and like what like three blocks from broad street maybe 11th yeah yeah like 10th and pattison i mean you just say

you just you just say you know where it is you you don't don't admit that oh of course i know where that is and then i you know i love broad street i I love I love the shops there so great oh yeah he's just halo jumping into the stadium every like for every game just like refuses to even you know like and then gets extracted by the same the same ways in that fucking Batman

movie where he just like puts the the like the balloon up and the plane just grabs him out of the fucking stadium again. He gets pulled out like a fucking like how the canister is ejected from the spy spacecraft.

Just like spends his little time on the ground as humanly possible. Yeah, they see how he's picking up my balloon. Go Phil. I'll be, hang on i gotta uh get a drink real quick my mouth is honestly really dry sorry oh we got something for that hey oh hey oh oh oh all right good hey how's it going so uh the first the whole first time long time thing, that was going to be the original name of our podcast. And then we found out Barstool already took that. Oh, fuck those guys.

That's like one of the, and I know that there's a lot, but one of the worst cultural exports that Boston has ever created is Barstool Sports. Yeah. It's like through and through. Baptists and Barstool. Yeah, those two up there. Wait, Baptists? Why are we getting blamed for Baptists? Well, didn't fucking...

All right, so tell me if my history is right here because I have a degree in American history, so I'm showing off how bad I... All right, didn't you guys... Well, you hanged some Quakers. So good job there, guys. Well we we kicked them out too like we because uh we hanged a couple and then we sent all the rest of them down and that's how we got rhode island all right so it was rhode island the quakers or the baptists they were quakers all right so i thought they were baptists there you go yeah because that's my um 13th great grandfather is uh roger williams oh shit oh we got

fucking boston brahmin here yeah that's me you know i'm just i'm living on ketchup going i'm living on the right side of the hill you know oh man it it made me so it makes me so bad when i go to beacon like go to boss you go around beacon hill whatever and it's like no one who lives there deserves to live there oh yeah nice well and then like and then you uh you find out that it only exists because like at some point uh all the rich brahmins decide to kick like you know boston's primary uh african-american community off the hill like you know around this end of the civil war and that's why like it's all just like rich white people now so it just makes it even worse uh but but uh going back to the baptist thing um puritans like baptist american bat well baptists in general are from congregationalists

who come from puritans yeah so uh thanks for baptists uh i mean i don't know i feel like that's like the swiss the most for that shit but yeah one also the puritans were just fucking weird as it was anyway like they were just like the worst possible weird religious extremists you could base a country around maybe not the absolute worst but not they're definitely up there uh yeah it's it's it's not i'm back i can't think of too many i guess saudi arabia is up there. I'm back. I can't think of too many. I guess Saudi Arabia is up there, but you know. Do you remember? Bahavism and Calvinism.

They're both mistakes. I went to cool Islam back where they smoke weed. Go ahead, Liam. Do you remember when the DNC was here a few years ago? Or 2016 or whatever yes and uh all these journalists were like mad because they just had to take ubers to and from their hotels and it was like you could just take the subway right fucking there they're like uber

pickup is terrible here and it's like no take a take the fucking subway get the fucking broad broad street line well i mean this is i mean we get that all the time with uh you know all the students who come here from like the tri-state area and they're always like like oh what do you mean like everything's not open like you know 24 hours and it's like i don't know man you've been going to school here for like two years now if you can't figure out that you need to buy beer before 11 o'clock like i don't know what the fuck are you like what are you even fucking doing here yeah it. I mean, it is kind of weird that, like, things are closed way more often, but we may do when I was up there. Yeah.

Just buy beer. Just buy beer early. I've been saving it. Yeah, just, like, just stockpile beer. What are you, some sort of fucking amateur? Well, I mean, if they're in college drinking, they probably are. Oh, fuck. So baseball.

The last thing I'll say, I guess, baseball-wise, is we had the first uh a woman first first base coach in ever yeah which is kind of major league that is sick yeah don't read the comments on that nope yeah no absolutely absolutely not oh so let's move on since we're already very deep into this podcast. We're only on section three. Basketball. Oh, man. Matisse Tybal. We used to like this guy.

Matisse Tybal. Yeah, it turns out he's not vaccinated and therefore will be unavailable as the Sixers travel north to Toronto to take on the Raptors in the first round. Isn't that great? But he got the first fucking shot. Just get the second one, dude. You already poisoned your body. Yeah.

And it's... Yep. Perfect. Fucking nailed it. He was like, he's this this like really artistic like what like like well-spoken young guy like really you know kind of cerebral kid and it's like oh you were just like a granola kid your mom's a naturopath or whatever

like that it's like oh yeah that remember when anti-vax was that was like like was like moms that like were into crystals jenny mccarthy shit yeah yeah as before it was uh guys who think that there's pedophiles uh running pizza stores in dc um yeah which there probably are but you know the muscle about uh the the fucking gym dude in uh new jersey who was like the big yeah the big anti-vaxxer who uh killed a dude uh mid dwi and then also recently got arrested for another one like i don't know a couple weeks ago the guy running for office right yeah yeah yeah i forget what the fuck that fuck's name is uh which like is second only to the Rhode Island congressman or congressional candidate

who has been living in Ohio for some reason, is from Rhode Island, lived in Ohio, now is moving back to Rhode Island to run for office, and got arrested for getting stoned and stalking this couple home from the airport. And he said he's not suspending his congressional campaign good for him is he running in ohio or in uh no in rhode island so he like went to rhode he flew from rhode island to ohio and then just like got super

fucking arrested for like like following this like this couple who he doesn't fucking know for like 30 miles home from the airport and then got pulled over by the cops. Why? No one seems to know. Okay, alright. And they pulled him over and he had like a half drunk bottle of whiskey in his

passenger seat. I think these two may be correlated. Yeah, but even so, I've never gotten drunk and thought, you know, it's time to do some gang stalking. No, I am with you there. That's pretty weird, you know, unethical shit when I was drunk, but...

I'm going to jump off this 10-foot balcony. Oh no, my foot is broken again. I'm going to call my ex uh i have never called my ex drunk oh yeah i did that once i have well i have i have done something similar drunk uh but i've never called my ex yeah i uh this is way before i dated corinne uh it's 2.30 a.m. I got hit by a drunk driver. And I called the girl whose house I had left. And she saved the voicemail for me. And I'm just like in an incoherent daze.

But I keep saying, I'm fine. I can drive. Like, I had a concussion. And my mom's Subaru was trashed. She was like, yeah, I wasn't worried until you were like I'm gonna drive it home and I heard scraping and I was like oh oh yep yep smart boy Liam that's why they call me smart boy Anderson I had a concussion oh yeah oh that's uh they're gonna lose a Toronto in seven uh oh in seven okay that's yeah they're gonna're going to lose to Toronto in seven.

Oh, in seven. Okay. Yeah, they're going to lose to Toronto. This team, I mean, despite winning seven of their last eight, the Sixers look sort of very paper tiger-y, I would say. Their last few wins weren't especially beautiful. They just lost to the Raptors. They've lost they just lost to the raptors they've you know they they've lost a couple games to the raptors where they sort of played down uh which i don't think is good

uh the celtics played the nets in the first round uh i am personally going to and you'll have to bleep this uh i'm gonna kairi irving yeah we'll have to because you know just say he's traveling in the town and i hope kairi irving has a nice accident yeah i hope he has a nice time involving oh i'm gonna bleep too because that'll be even funnier uh yeah i'm not i'm not super optimistic uh the the line at work is in six so uh we'll see how that fucking goes yeah i don't i wouldn't be too optimistic oh basketball so uh let's let's move on to football uh and uh kind of some shitty things to talk about since we last met cam still an asshole uh yeah yeah still an asshole uh on the million dollars worth of game podcast great great name

i'm sure i'm sure great content based on what he's million dollars million dollars um i'm gonna i'm gonna quote i'm gonna quote this here oh go ahead now quote now a woman for me is handling your own but knowing how to cater to a man's needs right newton said on the podcast i think a lot of times you get that aesthetic of like i'm a boss bitch i'm this i'm that no baby but you can't cook you don't know when to be quiet you don't know how to allow a man to lead uh oh if i said that to my wife she'd hit me upside the head if i said that to corinne i would be knocked out cold and i would deserve it i would be like well well we're uh hey uh liam i haven't heard from him a little bit and he's like don't worry yeah in the delaware

in the delaware at the bottom with concrete shoes on. We planted a new garden in the backyard. Can anyone get this skunk smell out? Yes. Yes. My county has, or the town down the road, has made international news. There's a woman, Italian woman, killed her husband and left his corpse in the garage. The garage, right? And asked, hey, how do you get skunk smell out of a garage?

Yeah. It sounds pretty gaba cruel to me. Oh. Ho, ho. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey.

I'm just fucking around here. I'm throwing bodies here. Oh. Hey, I'm throwing bodies here. Hey, I just fucking dig in holes in my thing. Just claiming it's your cultural heritage. Well, that was my, I probably said this in the last podcast. My wife's friends, like North, North Jersey, Italian has, and has like legitimate connections in immediate family and was like, Hey, she's making us look bad

this is not how we take care of bodies up here because she called a contractor was like uh how do you uh can you come to the dick of the hole is six feet in my backyard and the guy yeah all right i will do it but i'm not sure this feels suspicious i'll do it but you better not be putting any bodies in there. Just, you know, just really casually walking through your local Home Depot, just asking if this Sawzall blade will get through bone or not. Like when the George Floyd protests were happening, and I went to the Home Depot and I bought all the hard hats.

Oh, you guys got any more? All the guys at the site, we all need hard hats. You know how it is. Yeah, I went to go pick up all the coffees first, and now I'm picking up all the hard hats. That's crazy how they make you do this. You know how it is. New guy at the job site.

It is what it is. The dust mask, too. Yeah, can I get 20 hard hats and uh you know about uh 40 45 uh air filters uh do not look at records somebody somebody flipped a cop car and yeah as your attorney uh i'd recommend that you uh you bleep that out. Yeah. Yeah. Someone someone someone during the protest flipped a cop car and then they grinded an

ollie on the bumper. Notably, this being Philly, that actually was unrelated to the protest. Yeah. Oh, yeah, absolutely. That was just the cross punk show down outside the fucking – what's the anarchist place? The wooden shoe bookstore? Philly anarchists don't fuck around. That's why I like them.

Thank you. That's why I tolerate their ideology. I'll pass that on. All right. I'm already – look, I'm a real mensch and I'm a friend of the anarchists. I've eaten the vegan chili in West Philly. I'm good. Sorry.

That sounds like a really bad fucking campaign stop. I've eaten the vegan chili. What more do I need to do to appease you people? We've got to get John Fetterman to do that. Just like every time all the presidential candidates pretend they like fair food like out in fucking iowa except it's like you know you're eating someone's like fucking lentil soup that they you know in which case you truly do like it or you're john kerry eating a cheese steak with a knife and fork uh swiss with cheese i'd like your finest cheese steak please uh all right uh another shitty thing so cam newton sucks uh duane haskins got hit by

dump truck and died yeah that was fucking out of nowhere man that fucking sucks yeah yeah uh trying to cross an uh uh i-595 in fort lauderdale that was fucked up man 24 dude that's a damn shame yeah yeah that fucking sucks don't don't go anywhere near a highway in Florida. I think it's the lesson there. Probably stay away from the state altogether. To be honest. Shit, yeah. I'm going to get turned away at the border.

Anyway, on a totally unrelated note, Liam, are you looking for another co-host? I'm trying to fight this turning into a Bruins podcast already we had to do Bruins chat I've told this story rapidly cratering hockey team

we lost the fucking Blues last night and Carter Hart he's gone now he's dead he's dead the Flyers lost 9-2 last night I love the the fucking Flyers Twitter account being like, yeah, they got three up on us. They got six up on it. Yeah.

Yeah. This is this is suboptimal. I mean, we're back in. We're only seven points away. I saw I saw a globe headline earlier today. That was the Bruins have two problems right now, injuries and bad habits. And it's like, yeah, man, I don't know. That kind of says it all, really.

They're not bad. They're not good at hockey. Yeah, they have two problems. The people who are good at hockey are fucked, and the people who are bad at hockey are still there. Really could have planned that one better. Oh, yeah, that's fucking. Cam Atkinson's hurt.

Cam York is out. Yeah, the Flyers are all dead. The Bruins are cratering. What else I got? I wish Torrey Krug the best. And I also want to stuff him into a locker very badly. It's like an inch taller than my girlfriend. I could take Tori Krug.

Yeah, we lost to the Caps and the Blues. We play what the fucking Sens tomorrow. Well, I always love Ed too at the end. You know, having followed a lot of cratering Boston sports teams over the course of my life, I do really enjoy watching the increasingly

desperate playoff watch as you get like, oh, they just need a couple more wins and they can clinch a playoff spot four consecutive losses later. Yeah, they just need one to get in on a wildcard spot and then just like a blowout

to end the season. It's like, well, we're fucked. we're still only a point behind the lightning so like things could be worse it's always next year oh the Red Sox are they there we're three and three baby when does when does mini camp start shut up it's

fine we'll fix it oh man yeah so hockey bad sport for bad people we don't even have a team i don't fucking talk i have said this boston one thank you uh about we beat the tigers nine to seven today yeah we did i've said this story about every time every podcast but shocks hasn't heard it so when i took my wife at the boston she's she's not like Super sports yet she's like oh is That B for Boston we were at like North Station

Like right by TD Garden yeah well I mean it used to be Like the TD you know like the Fleet Center and then it was Like it's had like you know four fucking names A billion names yeah Is that B for Boston I want to

That looks nice I could buy that I'm like you will not Be purchasing that B I Boston? That looks nice. I could buy that. I'm like, you will not be purchasing that B. I'll get something for her. Yeah. You're Tom's wife. Stop buying Bruins merch for my wife. Just spray painting that on the side of the apartment. We're just going to be buying each other's wives jerseys.

Alright. I got two things about the union because uh our fans get mad if i don't at least mention it the you the philadelphia union are top of mls right now congratulations uh they built their stadium in chester with that's not philly yeah with no fucking rail connection i mean you could in in fairness and I say this as someone who used to go to Rez Games until I decided that that was fucking hopeless and I was tired of, like, feeling like Bob Kraft personally hated my guts. But, I mean, at least. Yeah, I mean, he does. But at least the union built a stadium.

We're on, like, the fourth or fifth round at this point of the Pats organization saying, you know, very like patronizingly that they're going to build the Rebs a stadium somewhere in the greater Boston area. And like, oh, no, we're really serious this time. And then just, you know, like Lucy holding the fucking football like, eh, eh, eh. And then pulling away at the last fucking minute. They're going to build it by the fuckingco uh where was i bought shirts up there between it was between fucking providence and boston okay that's a lot of new england yeah yeah yeah that's that's a lot uh yeah famously coming to you live from north or something it was like brockton or something like that oh yeah i've heard it was

brockton i've heard i think i have heard north of attleboro i think pot talk it was saying that they were going to do it because they lost the uh the paw socks they lost the paw socks to worcester uh you know like they they said they were going to put it like in south boston for a while then it was going to be in somerville like It's just fun watching him just yank people around by the chain at this point. Put it in Somerville. Absolutely demolish Somerville. Put it in North End. Demolish the Italian house. I tell you I live in Cambridge, but I don't.

Actually, that's a good use. Just demolish Harvard. Yeah, actually, that's a... No, I back that. No, I back that. I'll miss Harvard Square a little bit. No, I back that. No, I back that. Yeah. Yeah. I'll miss Harvard Square a little bit, but. No, no, you won't. A little bit.

And the one other thing. I'll miss the tasty burger in Cambridge. How's that? I mean, we can. We'll just we'll do the world assault and we'll demolish the Kennedy School of Government and put a put a rev Stadium there because that will also cut down on worldwide genocide by probably like 50%. What we do is we build a soccer stadium

on top of the Kennedy Library. What, the one out of like a UMass Boston? Yeah. Stick it on the roof. Or what you could do is you can demolish Night Shift Brewing in Everett and build a stadium there because they promised me a tour and didn't oh yeah no that was uh i specifically told him not

to give it to you yeah yeah yeah i called in a favor yeah well you did it to my to my uh there's a secret bonus up with that hasn't been released with a friend of mine it was just me and him testing my microphone out and And we talked about that. He tried to get me a tour there because he's a beer guy, a beer distributor. Yeah, it's actually if you go back, there's a big sign on the side that says, no dogs and no Italians. In Everett, which is tough business, actually. Yeah, I mean, I frankly support them for taking such a strong stand. The North End containment plan, the North End's been breached.

As soon as I crossed over into Charlestown on Route 1, that fucking alarm went off. I passed the U.S.S. Constitution. Oh, shoot a fucking Italian. You are now leaving Checkpoint Charlie. This is the hyper Boston episode of 10,000

Lawson. And it's not even the bonus fucking episode about the Red Sox. I saw a video, Shox, I thought you'd appreciate this, of a woman who, like, she does, like, a Boston food blog. And she went to this place, and it looked really good. And the comment's like, okay, where is it? And she's like, oh, it's in Lynn. And the first comment was like, I'm not fucking going to Lynn.

Was it the only, I think the last time that I that i had no second to last time i had to do jury duty was in lynn i think it was like in like 2011 it's just fun it's funny though because like they keep trying to like make lynn a thing yes uh like i know like you know because i uh used to live up there and so you know seth molton has been trying to like you know tie lynn and better to boston to like make it like a commuter community. And just as everyone on this early industrial center was long colloquially referred to as the city of sin owing to its historical reputation for crime and vice. Well, let me read you the next sentence today. However, the city is known for its contemporary public art, immigrant population, historic historic architecture downtown cultural district

lost style apartments and public parks and open spaces it's known for one of the it's known for one of those things and it's known for being like an immigrant community and that's about it and it's known for when i went from my new england road trip this summer going from fucking boston to salem and i drove through lynn because i wanted to take the scenic route and there was a fucking anti-mass protest blocking the road. That sounds like Lynn. Yeah, that sounds about right. There was like a significantly larger than I expected like liberal

counter-protest but it was all like old like old lady like bombs or... Yeah, it was probably like everyone coming down from like all the long-time activists coming down from like Swampskate and like Marblehead and shit. Oh shit, that's how you pronounce it uh i knew england continuing the tradition of england of not pronouncing anything the way it's fucking spelled yeah it's how we identify the outsiders immediately no to go in for the kill i would uh

do you have uh i was trying to go to swap scott uh yeah no yeah it's a fucking of town What's the one that always gets me even though my dad says it right? Haverhill Haverhill Yeah, Haverhill Dot chested Yeah, see, that's why you just say dot Done Three letters, easy

I can't talk I call the meal I eat everyday breakfast easy i can't i can't i can't talk i call the the meal i eat every day breakfast so yeah i'll have regular coffee for breakfast uh all right i'm skipping the rest of the thing i had for the union let's go to the mailbag uh so uh we got we're on fuck we're running along here shit all right we're gonna do it anyway that's fine it's fine so we have two voicemails we have one from john from pittsburgh um who uh single handedly unionized the the first uh starbucks 20 to 0 vote out in pittsburgh he was the he counted as 20 so uh yeah i love when we can do stuff like that yeah so uh john from john from

pittsburgh let's let's go to john from pittsburgh first and hopefully the volume's uh pretty good so let's listen to what ian's doing john from pittsburgh you're getting a rare drive home from work call today i can say it is 6 p.m a long day at the uh Potty Union, where I am duly employed. Strangely enough, Pittsburgh Potties, homemade out of New Jersey. Who knew? Quick question for you. As a recent Philadelphia 76ers fan, yes, I'm jumping on the bandwagon. Oh, mistake.

An interesting question came up on the fan of it that i'd like to hear your opinion on uh so we know that the process is a failure um but however uh outside of wins and championships um what do you think are the key components to a successful franchise, one that can be built upon and one that can be replicated by our franchises here in Philadelphia. Thank you very much. Hail to Pitt. Fuck Penn State.

And let's go Sixers here in the playoffs. Have a good one, fellas. Well, thanks, John, for Pittsburgh. I am going to marry john from pittsburgh uh yeah uh it's a so it's a terrific question uh yes i'll i'll take a crack at it i think what you have to do so there's like a couple things i would say the problem is that to be like you need continuity number one which the sixers like sort of have had and sort of have it and in basketball i always look to the spurs uh who have had the same coach

you know obviously they didn't have a great season this year but like they trust pop to do a rebuild you have to acknowledge that there are going to be ups and downs. I think you do what you can to like make your stars as happy as possible. While at the same time, like knowing that you have to like have old, old guys basically that maybe they see six minutes a game, but like their locker room guys and they can teach Jaleel Okafor where to fucking drink. I,

you know, the Celtics have a pretty good front office uh you know there are a lot of criticisms we made about danny ange but he was phenomenal at ripping the rest of the league off yeah absolutely tremendously good at not necessarily anything else but real good at ripping off the rest of the league in trades. Yeah, and I mean, I think also at some level, too, the counter, the other side of having the big guys who might only play six minutes, you also have to be able to know when to let them go.

Yeah, and that's hard. And that's always really hard, because those are the guys that everyone's buying jerseys of, and the younger players, too who are venerating them and but at some point you have to you know you have to give that up and that's something that you know in all sports you just see you know folks who are just kept you know you see players who are just playing way longer for way more money than should probably otherwise russell respra comes to mind yeah and i i you know i i am a good son of boston and therefore i hate the lakers and i'm happy to see them fail but i

genuinely do like russ as a player and it's like dude just call it like this sucks yeah well yeah it just it feels shitty you feel bad like it's it's just it's not you know you can't imagine that they're having fucking any fun and like you know it's probably not even really worth the paycheck at that point like i don't know i wonder if it's sort of like when someone dies and you you know you can say sort of you can never really say the right thing to someone who's grieving but you can absolutely say the wrong thing oh yeah yeah i think it's maybe like they're unfortunately know way too well right now yeah i know you do but i'm sorry for your loss uh but i i think maybe that's part of it is that like every franchise is different you're gonna have different operating costs like you're gonna have

different markets but the mistakes you can make are all sort of the same mistakes and there's stuff like you can't plan for like you can't plan for ben simmons just being like i don't want to fucking play anymore here yeah and like if a player says like no i'm not going to play here i don't want to do it like i've made up my mind you do have the talks in good faith maybe they come back maybe they don't and if they don't you say all right man like we'll we'll get you the hell out like i don't want you sticking around here you don't want to be sticking around here um i i i don't know but i think a lot of it is just like keeping your stars happy making them feel like they're working for something and like even if your team is rebuilding like you know if you're if you're up you can bring in someone like um tony parker or like uh

kim duncan or david robinson and be like he's these are the guys you venerated as kids they're here to help you play basketball better i just squeeze out that like extra 10 which like i go back you know i not to be a fanboy here but i think about when the celtics traded paul pierce and kevin garnett to theets yeah uh they they didn't really have a cohesive identity for a bit but they took flyers on like weird cheap guys they flipped Isaiah Thomas and Jay Crowder for Kyrie Irving which didn't work out but like you know they they struck gold with Tatum Jalen Brown Marcus Smart uh Daniel Tice is is serviceable and like you know having having you have to have buy-in from your players and you have to like i think have buy-in at all levels of the organization

like you all have to be working towards a common goal and that's a lot harder than it sounds yeah um my answer though will be much more glib, which is an owner that spends money. That's a good start. That's not the only recipe for success, because Jerry Jones will open the wallet. But you are more set up for success if you're willing to spend stupid money like you said you were. And get good people who actually know what the fuck they're doing to run shit. You need an owner willing to open their wallet. You need a front office with more than three brain cells to trade around between them.

Also, I'm going to say something that is going to be very controversial to only shocks, maybe, which is that they need to replace Bill Belichick, the GM. Belichick, the coach, is a genius. Belichick, the GM. Belichick, the coach is a genius. Belichick, the GM kind of sucks at his job. Yeah. I mean, to be honest, like it's yeah, I don't disagree. Like, and I think it's also one of those things too, where, you know, and going back to what I said previously, like, I actually think the Pats were probably right and letting go of Tom Brady when they did I don't know that he necessarily gets the Super Bowl

that he got with the Bucks with the Pats if he had stayed for another year right you know I think I don't think he does you know I think it lit something in him and like you know I think they probably would have cruised to like you know I mean admittedly probably just like a late round playoff loss but I don't think they would have like gone

back and won the Super Bowl. You want to think about that? Hey, Tom, can you count to six? Can I count to six? Can you count to six? C-T-E! C-T-E! C-T-E! No, I'm sorry. C-T-E!

I can't count to six. Poor Gronk, man. Oh, no. Oh, fuck. Sorry, one last piece of football. Did you see the thing about how Tom Brady's fake retirement got tied into the whole racism scandal

for the Dolphins? What? I didn't see that. Tom Brady's fake retirement got tied into the whole racism scandal for the dolphins. Uh, what? Oh yeah. I didn't see that. It, uh, it came out,

uh, I think yesterday, the day before where his whole fake retirement thing was essentially so he could retire, get into the front off, uh, office for the dolphins, like hire a white coach and then on retire again.

And like, and that way they'd like, they could get around like, yeah, it was like this whole fucking cockamamie. Is this a conspiracy theory? No, I think it's like borne out like the text message and shit that had been coming out because of the, the, the, the, the, the. Brian Flores investigation. Yeah. The discrimination lawsuit.

So apparently like, you know, not that it should be surprised that a guy who looks like, you know, Nietzsche's, you know, ideal of the Ubermensch was involved in like some vaguely racist shit. But it is really, you know, it's funny that that's like apparently the explanation for it is he got caught trying to do some sketchy shit and just unretired early to go back to the books. Well, I'll tell you this. Amazing. It's not politicians tell you this. Amazing. It's not politicians drinking Adrenochrome. It's fucking Tom Brady. Uh,

Easily probably my favorite player who's not a Red Sox. Oh, yeah. No.

Pretty much no question. How could you not? I just love the – how could anyone not love Ichiro? And, of course, every kid playing fucking baseball without my age, they did the shirt, the sleeve pull just like Ichiro did. And the funniest thing is that apparently Ichiro had home run power. He clearly could, but he just loved fucking hitting singles where everybody wasn't. That was just his thing.

But he could have very easily, like if you watched him doing batting practice, he was just hitting everything out of the park. Yeah. But yeah, fucking love Ichiro. Thank you, Lily, for the nice words. him and like doing batting practice he was just hitting everything out of the park yeah but uh yeah fucking love each row thank you lily for the nice words so sometimes we have a joke occasionally liam yes we do yeah oh am i supposed to be looking at that unless shocks is there and he wants to read what is the father judge what does the father judge say after they get their diploma? Shouldn't it be father judge grad? Yes.

Do it again. What does a father judge grad say after they get their diploma? License and registration, please. Shox is like, what the fuck is this? Father judge high school in Philly is where all the cops went, and they were our rivals. Oh, all right. Yeah.
