And we're live or recording. Hello. Hello. Hopefully the giant-ass fucking leaf blower is not audible. I can't hear anything. All right. That's good. Yeah.

I don't have my shit up that high. My game. Yeah, you're a little quiet, but I think I want it that way. It's as if there's a, you know, unlawful leafblower in the background. Yeah. Oh, fuck. Fuck sounds, dude. Oh, yeah.

Does that bother your, you're a little bit? ADHD brain? It is mildly annoying. I can't increase your volume to drown it out. But I have, one of my students is special needs, nor a diversion and was not happy with the movie we were showing today being too loud.

What movie was it? Can I ask that? Or is that going to break? This involves a rocket launching. That's why I was talking about that in the group chat today. Ratchapal 13. That's what I thought. Yeah. So very, this is too loud.

Can you lower it? I was like, yeah, I guess. No, you know what? I'm going to turn it up to, I'm going to put in 7.2 in my classroom. Like, this is, I'm like, God damn it. This score is the only thing. When I see the rocket launching, first I get chills. Like, I've watched this movie probably 200 times this way.

Yeah. I get chills still. Every single time that rocket launches. That's awesome. And I want to get up in salute. That's the only time I want to salute the fucking flag is when that thing launches and when it comes back. when he's like gentlemen it's been a privilege flying with you just just that slow

fucking right there yeah but yeah we're uh we're we're getting close to the end almost on school so just limping it at this point yeah it's it's always like this at the end of the year yeah I bet I remember like late May early June the dull drums are just being like just free me from this place Yeah, it's like, can we just, we're not starting anything, though.

Actually, we're going to do emergency reviews of everything you've learned in the last five years. Go, motherfuckers. And they're just like, I don't know what an exorcally's triangle is. Yeah, well. All peaks, maybe. Today's youth does not know what direction the sun rises. So. The east.

What? Really? Yeah, a couple of kids not know that. It's the east, you dumb garbage motherfuckers. I, well, I was like, come on. guys. What directions does come off? Like, come on, man. Think.

Use the old brainhead. But you know, my mom's also bad at that too, so she also gets left and right mixed up constantly. I had a friend who did that. And it was eventually like, all right, left you loose. And I was just like, left you loose you ready tidy, baby. Just hold it up. The left makes an L. What's, what's the, what's the, um, there's a term for it.

Deaxis, yeah. Or Deixis. It's the, this, that, here, there kind of shit. Can you hear my fucking thing? Mm-hmm. Yeah. It's really fucking loud.

Anyway, thanks. Sorry. Is your relations in space and time? Right. So people have a hard time with that. Yeah, I do okay in terms of like spatial awareness. My very smelly wife does not.

Is she there for you to hear? Yeah, she's glaring out. But that's normal. As you deserve. I will come to your house and shove a soda can up your butt. I don't know if I'm that accommodating. Yeah. Oh, I forgot to up the little voice well.

There we go. Oh, you're full of shit. Fuck you. Alarm. I did not mean for it to be that loud, apparently. It's okay. It really wasn't that loud. I was just being, being an e-clown.

really are just clowns if you think about it Jay called me an E cloud that stuck with it The The trail billys were like We're just jesters They were talking about that the other couple weeks ago So I mean we really

We're the only ones who truly know You know we're like the What's that painting of the Painting of the Jester He's the only one sitting there Taking the news that some town has fallen seriously While everyone You know is parting in

the background during the deluge the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth or whatever the fuck it was. Yeah. I don't know that painting. What about the polls? Hold on. Justin GGR. Yeah, what about him? Oh, Stanzig, the painting?

Stanzik during the ball. Here I put in the chat. He's the jester and he's sitting there reading like the news of the invasion and meanwhile in the background there's like partying. Yeah, yes. Stans like during a ball at the court of Queen Bona. Yeah, I'm trying to Bono the queen. In the face of the loss of Smolensk.

Smolensk. However you say it. I'm not Polish or Russian. Let's see, Russian Smolensk. The Smolenskare disaster. It was never said, well, there's your problem. You should know that. I probably saw that one.

Mm-hmm. Sleepy baby. Yeah, I'm sure. Yeah, I'm tired. It's okay. It's all right. Yeah, Jesus Christ. I'm just getting it with like waves of tiredness. Do you want to cut it?

No, no, we're good. We can't push through. I just squeeze my eyes too hard now. I can't see. Good, good. No, that's ideal. Yeah. That's ideal. The note's just saying, ow. Blindness.

Blindness. Blowness, frowny face. It's, you know, it's really annoying. me is this fucking air blower. It's like right below me now. Right below you? Yeah. Yeah, I'm trying to blow some more in air. I'm trying to get sucked off by an air cleaner is what I'm saying.

Yeah. I just, you know what they're blowing? They trimmed outside today. So they're blowing that around. It's very annoying. That is very annoying. Yeah. Shit.

Let's see. What's in the, what's in the rant, the rant. bag because it's only six minutes. We can't do the intro this early. I want to talk about the Phillies are looking good. I just watched the game. Well, it's supposed to be a rant. So it's like the rant bag is not sports.

All right. I got one for you. All right. You got one? All right. Sort of fart. If you come to me and say I need help. Yeah.

In a professional capacity. Mm-hmm. And then you don't produce me the paperwork I need. And you say, I thought that was your job. I should have the right to hit you with a large hammer. Hmm. I like that. Imagine that.

I have a similar emotion today relating to work, but don't worry about it. Did you see the SpaceX IPO is going to go at 135? Elon Musk is going to be truly never. We have to get this guy, dude. We just have to fuck this guy. Man, dude. Somebody's a prick. Do you think it's going to happen, though?

Do you think so? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I think he's. Do you remember that weird, that weird period where he was. carrying his son around. Yeah, it's like a human shield. Yeah, it's like a shield. He's, he's probably like got those armed details that are all for show.

Oh, yeah. That like I was reading about a lot of these CEOs after the, the, the Brian Thompson got, got, uh, by someone who wasn't Luigi Mangione. Right. Uh, he's just the fall guy. We all know this and accept this. Yeah. This is official podcast policy. No one who stops the McDonald's Al-Tuna can.

can commit a crime of that magnitude. He's a handsome. Nice guy. He's very handsome. I actually think if it like goes goes, I think he gets acquitted. I would not be shocked if he gets acquitted. I think they probably get him on something lesser.

Yeah. Like, yeah, like weapon possession or something. Legal possession, right, something like that. But after after he got killed,

all these CEOs had these like arm guards with like, you know, submachine guns, but it turns out they're all semi-auto because they're not legal. Like, it's like, you're not going to be getting on your plane flying the fucking California

you can't own those weapons there and then going out to like New York it's like no it's all for show and you know that I do know that like those kinds of guys are like fuck this shit I'm getting paid I'm not fucking I'm not like sworn to uphold this like this is goof bags like right

that's how I always felt like I don't pity the Secret Service but I do feel bad for the poor son of the bitch who has to take a bullet for Eric Trump oh god yeah oh my god or Don Jr. J's this wiped. What does that being your fucking day?

That sucks ass. I mean, I can't imagine like the fire, that firefighter. I mean, obviously he was at Trump rally, so he must have sucked. But like, he's the one who gets hit with the bullet that was meant for Trump. What the fuck, man. Oh, well. Too bad. Bye, Rocco.

Yeah, goodbye. The, I just, I am so not checking in on politics. as much as possible. And, you know, it is a good thing. I don't blame you. Yeah. But then I get reminded that he's still alive and it makes me sad. I'm just bums you out.

And I was reading, did you see that thing going around today on Blue Sky? It was like a substack by a paramedic. Talk about what he thinks Trump has based on like what they would call the ER. Right. Tell him the prep for it would be like an aortic aneurism based on like what. Like if Trump came into his, his. um like ambulance or whatever or yeah

his ambulance and said hey I've been getting CT scans every three months this is what's going on like this is the injections I'm getting like I'm like oh okay most likely there's some sort of internal bleeding or like something yeah right inshalla but uh

just the entire article like I had to force myself to get through it because it's like the the tangerine tlatsicle the mango musilini it's like shot can you just talk like a fucking adult I just exhausted just talk like a fucking about the other day

but today actually he's a fucking he's a dickhead he's a piece of shit just call him that sucks just guy sucks guy sucks guy sucks I hate that twat waffle and there's a whole 2014 Twitter language just stop it man just

that weird toy bullshit nonsense yes tweet is a good word for it infantilizing kind of crap it is it is there's too many resistance libs that I follow I think you should just follow me I should be the only count you have The only one you follow?

Yeah. There's too many, there's too many fucking resistant lives on blue sky. It is funny how blue skies is either like, like left, like communists, resistance lives and then like all the gay furries.

And like one errant libertarian who's just like, what are you doing here? It's so funny when you find them because they just get, they get dog piled. And they're like, you have to like,

they're like the guys you have to hit expand. Um, I just like, oh, this goes on for a while. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And you argue with these guys. You can argue with morons.

Well, that's how I felt, you know, the other day on Twitter. I was just like, I was. Are you still banned? Did you get banned? Full hours. Both hours. That's something. Their mods are soft there now.

Oh, yeah. I guess they really do believe in free speech. Well, here I am to test the limits, baby. Um, that's how I'm much more like, I don't know. I just want to post about sports and get mad at the, at the Phillies. Like, I do. social work, dude. Like, this is my daily life.

I don't need to prove my left discredentials to you by posting about it. Yeah. I want to, dude, I wish I had a, this is just totally random aside. I wish I had a job where I was not tired when I came home. That'd be nice. Not mentally tired. But that train of thought just butted out my response to what you said. That's okay.

Yeah, I just wouldn't be able to. I wish I was like a dumb guy sometimes. Like where I all, like self-aware of your own existence. and sort of thing. Yeah. Yeah. I wish I was like a hundred 10 IQ guy, not up where I am. Mm.

Yeah. Which is funny. Hashti humble brag. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm not sure if, if our friend,

Kyle from Cleveland, beats us by three. Mm-hmm. Oh, so he beats you? Okay. All right. Yeah, yeah, he beat both of us.

Did you see, I just saw an interview with him where he said that he was the one who has been planting the stories to motivate the team.

And I was talking to Wren about that. It's just to motivate you. fuck face. Everyone else on this team wants to win the Super Bowl. What are we doing, baby? Enjoy him. Enjoy him.

Speaking of gestures. What a, what a, what a, what a, what a, what a, what a, what a, what a, what a Joker. I'm going to, I'm going to create a little chaos here on this team. You know, fucking. Dude, what the fuck, man? What are you doing, dude? I mean, why receivers are all insane.

They're all fucking insane. Wide receivers D-Linman. I mean, everyone's insane. Everyone's insane. Everyone's insane. Yeah, because cornerbacks are. Corner or quarter? Corner.

Well, that's just because they're washed up wide receivers. Yeah. But wide receivers are, like, we've talked about what positions. I'm like, these are ballhawk. And I'm like, that just means he wasn't good enough to play wide receiver. Yeah, exactly. Look you know, like Brian Dawkins. I can't.

Please don't hurt me, Brian Dawkins. Yeah, no. So I have, I was talking to Wren and I was like, I want to get Brian Dawkins. You know, there's cameo things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Brian Dawkins will make you a cameo. Hell yeah. 800 U.S.S.

I might still do it. Give me your Patreon money. Give me a lunch money. Give you a gift. I have more guns. I just come with like one in each hand. One between my legs. Like a C.C. 75 for some reason.

I would like a CZ 75. Why? I don't know. Does it kind of look cool? I mean, they do look cool. The pistol? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, that's a classic. Yeah. And the Good Lord invented the Mossburg 590 for a reason, man. Yeah, we're the Maverick 88, which is the Mexican version. Which is a good, it's a good. It's a good note. Don't like them. It's called 88.

I'll tell you that right now. That, I mean, fair. Fair. I can see that to you. But, yeah, so A.J. Brown traded for. So I'm fine trading for it. I'm fine just getting him out, right? Yeah, sure.

I also believe that we probably could have ripped off the Patriots a little more here. Yeah, got like a third round pick or something. Yeah, like this year, like it's like, especially if we do well and then we're picking the bottom of the draft anyway. Like, you know, and the patrons did well last year. Are they going to replicate that success? They had a very soft schedule. I don't know.

But like I would have liked probably a third rounder. and like something. We have a fifth rounder this year, right? Yeah, fifth rounder than the first rounder in 20208. Which, which that makes is. Brin, can you grab me another salzer, please? A salzer? Yes, please.

You got a polar too. No, it's not. It's a, uh, oh, Wooderloo. Wooder, Wooder, Lou. Yeah, bro, I go down in a while there. I don't even go out of my tank. I go to get a case of Wooderlews. I used, yeah, I eat my,

Hogi on the fucking trash can, dude. I have done that. It's real scumback shit. But it is convenient. It's right there. If trash can had no point, why is top flat? Yeah. Yeah.

Dude. Good luck. Be gone. Good luck Patriots. Good luck Patriots of this one. Be gone. I love how dumbasses online are like, are like, oh, well, this is a great pick for in case we need to get a new quarterback this year.

It's like, no. Who us? What? No. Yeah. Why are we getting a new quarterback? Jalen Hertz, I don't think it's a bad quarterback. So I think we're good. He's not a bad quarterback.

He won the Super Bowl. Yeah. We've been to two with him. Yeah. I'm not worried about that. Let me ask you a question. Yeah. So I'm going to talk a little quietly.

And the popcorn machine's going. My wife is a bit spoiled as a fan. Mm-hmm. Do you think Eagles fans have gotten spoiled, especially new ones? I think, yeah, I think it's a fair thing. I think they're used to that they don't have that level of misery. They didn't go through the years in the, in the desert. Right.

Went that Andy Reid pulled us out of. But also, the Eagles haven't really been that bad. No, I mean, they've made it to the most... They just didn't have Super Bowl success. They just didn't have Super Bowl success. Right. I remember the dark days of like when I was starting to like get into the Eagles between like 2010 and like 2015. Yeah.

Those years got kind of narwhal. Yeah, like the, there was definitely those years between Reed and then now. Chip Kelly. The Chip Kelly is. Like 2018. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. 2017, like with Doug Peterson took over, you know, that was a good.

It's funny though. He didn't, yeah, we didn't like have an insane record every year. Sierra, Sierra, got us to a Super Bowl and then bounced. I know. Seriotti is the best coach. we've had in a long time yeah, San Andy Reid yeah now

when I was so when I was like a kid you know I remember the Eagles being very good in like the early 90s Jerome Brown and the other one Bridget White yeah because I grew up on the tail

on the buddy Ryan and then Rich Kotite who was okay and then what's his name that range Ray Rhodes, which was the bad years.

And then Andy Reid took over. So it's like, but even under, even under Ray Rhodes, it was like, yeah, we got a couple, a couple of division wins and stuff. Like, I guess Rich Cote would have been, we got a couple under him. Like, even then, yes, we were always relevant. We've always been a decent team. Right. And I mean, every team has down years.

But I feel like, like, I talked to people who are like, oh, well, like, it doesn't matter until the playoffs. And it's just like, it's done. Yeah. You want to, you want to, the guys who like suffered through like the 70s, the 60s and my uncle Ethan. Those, those guys and that we had a bad run in the early 80s too. Yeah.

Yeah, we were, we were fucking dog shit in the 60s or 70s. Yeah. Like we won like we like yeah, bottom of the league like kind of shit for a while. After we won the, the, the championship wasn't the Super Bowl. the 1960 championship. Yeah, but we have, yeah, we have tons of, I'm looking at all these playoff appearances. Yeah, it's like, once we get into the 70s, late 70s,

more often than not we're going to the playoffs. You're right. So, yeah, Eagles fans, I think are, but Philly's fans have a lot to commiserate about it because they've, they've, I've had my heartbroken a few times now. Now, that, that, that, but even rough late, like, like, Phillies haven't been that bad. No.

Like, you don't know what it was like in the 90s, like some of these guys. Sixers are, sixers are rad. Sixers, I think. Sixers fans, well, I think the thing with Sixers fans, right, is that they, like, the sixers fans, I know. Like, people who are, like, true blue, like, died in the wolf six fans are the most delusional people on the fucking planet. Because so it's like we're one, I'm talking to you. We're talking to, we're one piece away. We're always just one piece of a wheel.

It has felt that way. If the Knicks win the NBA five. That's proof to me the Sixers would have won the NBA finals if Juel was healthy. That's all else. This is what I live with. And they say I'm the crazy one. I mean, could we have beaten the Knicks? No.

I don't think we beat the Spurs. Did you grab me, a Seltzer? No. Because she hates me and wants me to suffer. Yeah. We can talk about the NBA finals were on. The first game was last night at Knicks won. It's Nick's first.

We're rooting for the Spurs here. No, we're not. We're rooting for the New York Knicks, baby. You are. No, I'd rather shoot myself with a gun than watch Villanova Alums have success. No, thanks. I like Wembe.

We've talked about this in the last episode. Oh, I love the Spurs. My favorite player as a kid was, for some reason, Tim Duncan. I like Tim Duncan. The big fun to battle, baby. Yeah. No, I hate San Antonio because I hate those kinds of cities,

but I never been there either. I had a family member who died there. red state. Yeah. Well, I, uh, I want to make them all red, but a different kind of red. You know what's kind of annoying? We, we, we don't follow the traditional party colors. This is all based on fucking map bullshit from, from the 2000 election. Like the, like, like, the traditional color for the GOP should be fucking, uh, blue. The network should be yellow. Piss yellow. Well, who we get the, all right. So if we're going to go back from when those colors are first established, The Republicans, yeah, they would be the yellow one

and the Democrats would be the blue. So Democrats are fine being blue, but the, we need the, the GOP should be yellow then. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Like, you're in tinged light yellow. Yeah. They've lost, it's lost her over the years.

I'm recording. I'm doing my job. It's too small. Yes, it looks good there. But is it too small? No. What is she asking? She's hanging something.

So when Corin gets bored. Yeah. She's just like, what can I do in terms of home improvement? It's a map of the railroads of the United States. That kind of fucks. This is not a visual podcast. Saudi oil thing. It's a picture, yeah, but she described it.

So, I mean, that does fuck. It does. I got it at Pedlors Village, I think. Oh, nice. Yeah. A brain short-circuited there. Wow, this executive dysfunction should be real well, huh? This is this is a

tiredness We were talking about We talked about the NBA The NBA The NBA Yeah is the NH NHL The Stanley Cup's going on right Canes nights

I don't give a shit Anyone but Vegas Oh they're tired Heart shouldn't have a job Oh no they're not tired No Vegas should be up one One zero

Yeah Yeah I don't care The Phillies So this guy Kind of sucked yesterday, Sanchez almost made the 51 scoreless innings. And he got what, 50.2. Yeah. 50 and two

thirds if you want to be a little more precise because inning percent, like it's 0.1, point two, and then it goes back. Oh, no. Yeah. I know. But this they got to be talking. This guy's got to be an all-star this year. And he better be in the fucking Cy Young.

He asked me in the Say Young conversation, dude. Yeah. I also watching Zach Wheeler makes me want to throw up in my mouth. It's 11 to 3 San Francisco It's because Zach Wheeler Just kind of like I just Like it's not like Nola Where I'm kind of like oh

You're like a kicked puppy I'm like with Zach Gila I'm like get it together motherfucker How do you do that I did not watch the game We won 6 4 So I'm gonna pull up two And Alvarado gave up too

He gave up a two run thinger At the bottom of the When seven innings Only two hits All right Yeah I mean He's a strikeout three walks

We could talk about Aiden Miller And how he's a lot he's dead. Right. So, so, so Philly's, hey, we're doing good. We got season series sweep of the Padres. We're out of the dumpster. For the sixth time in franchise history.

Dude, I'll always love when we play to Padres because I know that we're going to win. We got their number, man. They, yeah, we're like the Padres destroyers. The, yeah, Aidan Miller. How about that? So Aidan Miller, he's a Phillies prospect. He would be playing right now if it wasn't for like, He's got lumbar spine issues.

He's dead. I hope he doesn't have to have surgery. I think he said he did have to have surgery. Is it? I'm pretty sure they already said that. Oh yeah. He's going to have procedure done. Yeah.

You're right. Dude, that sucks. Anything to do everything you do. I mean, obviously every sport uses your back. But you have to brace and do torso rotation. Radio frequency ablation. Everything. thing. Oh, okay. So they're going to try and be a non-invasive?

I guess, man. They're minimally invasive, yeah. Backstuffs hard. Back stuff's hard. I know that I had an effective batting practice if my back hurts the next day, just knowing and my abs are sore. Like, not my back is out, not that I threw it out, but that I know that like I felt the work in your muscles. I felt the work. I know that I actually like was doing my torso rotation. And it's tough. And like you have to bend over and do pick up balls. And if you have a bad back, it's really like, it's severe.

Like you could you could hurt your legs and still fucking like as long as you can get the power out of your hips. I mean, dealing with some dope is like last night and still dump 30 on them. So. Yeah. Like, like if you're, but baseball like even if your arm goes if you're D.H. You could still like Bryce Harper play. that whole fucking year with his arm bad,

but it was the right, like it was in his throwing arm, but he bats left, so really didn't matter. So it was, it was in his, like, lead arm.

But, yeah, the, the, it sucks. That back shit sucks. He's our, he's our number one prospect right now after,

uh, I think, uh, what's his name has been demoted, uh, intraming to her from that status. Um, although I do think,

think I do think Andrew Painter he I think has the stuff it's just a matter of development yeah and and feels like the Phillies I mean it feels like the Phillies are ass at developing talent

I think so too like and I'm not saying they're picking the wrong guys because like you're picking you're picking the 19 year olds like this is how I feel about like even like guys like they're like you get a guy like Howie Rosevin once in a blue moon right where it's like this guy

clearly knows what he's talking about, clearly has the eye for it. And even Howie doesn't hit on everything. Right. Like the Hassan Reddick trade, which we criticized, like, because he and AJ Brown were maybe fucking the same finage therapist. Nobody knows. Who's to say, right? Yeah.

But I think that, like, the Phillies just like straightens, this organization just like cannot develop in-house talent. Yeah. It's, we're a bottom. We're a bottom of the league farm system. Yeah. And I mean, like, Painter, I saw Painter's debut. He threw all right.

And like, but like, what was the last prospect we developed and then like won considerably with? Our last internal pitcher, uh, Ranger was Ranger. Yeah, I think Ranger was us because, uh, actually Sanchez. Was it? Was he? I think so. I think he was rule five off the Marlins, I want to say. Was he?

Ranger, yeah, was a minor, I'm pretty sure are minor leagues. Signed with the raise as an international free agent, 2013. Traded to the Phillies exchangeer Curtis Mead, remember him? No. I do not. So Miller's going to be about out six to eight weeks. He had the procedure today.

Oh, Alec, we developed Alec Bum. Alec Bum, yeah. I mean, hitting-wise. we've had a lot of I mean, Alec Bone was touted I mean, Justin Crawford was touted.

Crawford's been all right. I see your center fielder. I'm not too worried if he can't hit that bad. If he's, as long as he's going to defense. Bracston's Stott is ours selected by the Phillies

in the first round of the tournament. Yeah, I mean, Bryce is not a replacement, like above replacement level player. Jay, T, Aramueteam,

not us. It was not us. He was a trade from the Marlins. Alvarado is not us. Ryan Kirkring, I think was us. Kirkring was. Yeah, great.

Like our last ace that we developed, uh, wasn't, that wasn't Randy Wolf. Who was our best? Marshan was signed at 16. What did I say, Marchan?

Marshawn was signed at 16 in 2015 by the Phillies. I mean, Wheeler came over from the Mets. Nola, Nola was drafted by the Blue Jays in 20, 11, but then he went to LSU, and he was then redrafted in 2014. So I guess null accounts for us. Uh, fucking Cole Hamels.

Probably. Who's Cole Hamels? Our best pitcher, uh, that we've developed. I say who's Cole, Cole Hamels and Corinne doesn't even look up? Because I knew. That was a silly-ass question. Was Brett Myers also homegrown? You might have been too.

It was Brett Myers drafted by the Phillies. I think he was. I don't know. I don't think so. He might have been. Let me look up minor league stats. Yeah, he was. He was.

He was. Yeah. So was Cole Hamels. I typed in Andrew Painter in Google, and the first thing is a clickbait sports Illustrator article saying how they have to trade him. He just got here. Yeah. Like, this is like the whole thing.

Like, do you shift the guy for, like, while, while he's hot, like while the value is high. He's not hot. Well, because he's only in his first year. So you, yeah, six years of team control, right? And you can stretch that out to seven, depending on how you fuck with their contract and stuff. Yeah, call, like if you get sent down, you know, I, right, no, just let's like, see how he develops. And then you could, like, Mick Abel, we traded because he saw, like, maybe he's not going to be that great.

But he was pitching well this year. We got Duran. What about Duran? We got him and I watched it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I don't know how I'm supposed to hit a fastball at 104 miles an hour. You don't. That's the thing.

You don't. My favorite thing is his control, terrible, but it doesn't matter. It's just like, ah! Yeah. That, that, that, that, uh, yeah, no, I'm glad that we actually have like a real closer. I haven't like, listen, the pitching has, has settled in. Yeah, I mean, guys are healthy. It looks decent.

We're four games above 500. We're not catching the Braves because Chrisale is throwing absolute fucking lights out right now. I mean, what are we? Are we still nine games back? Nine five, I think. Let me see your standings today. We're nine now, nine now. The Nats are actually not that far behind.

The Mets are garbage. The Mets are in the toilet, right. Listen, well, the Braves are 42 and 20. It would be hard to catch them. the NL is good this year. So we do have to play good the rest of this year. No problem. sneak back into the playoffs in an 87-1 chaos factory.

Yeah, who knows? And the American League is still garbage. Oh, yeah, the socks are... Yeah. The Guardians are still playing well. Okay. Well, I don't give a shit about Rachine or metric bike or Kyle. Wow.

Yeah. Fuck you. Yeah, the Raz. It's so funny, the Razor at the top of the ALE East. Ew. Really? And raise have been good, you know, before. Yeah.

Like in 2008 when we beat them in the World Series. Oh, and then speaking about like Phillies, the Padres while they were still in Philly, DFA de Castianos. They should have let him done the Ashburn Alley reporting. You're already paying him. What do you care? Yeah. Yeah. Dude, he's already paid by the, he's getting paid by the Phillies.

I think the Padres only owed the difference in Salar pro rated to like league minimum. So he did get he did get like some he didn't get like booed when he came back. I wouldn't boom. I like him. I do genuinely like the guy.

I just think that he's kind of an asshole. Yeah, he's definitely an asshole. It's a shame. Adoles Garcia isn't doing that great. Homer today though. Yeah, he did. Batflip too. comparable,

comparable stats-wise to Castiano's, Bader's actually, we should just get stuck with him if you wanted to pick the three. But I don't know. I, as the trade deadline,

you know, it's still a while out, but like, I, do you're going to move guys? I don't know. If we're going to move anyone, try to move Bome.

Alec Bome. Yeah. I, that's who, personally, if I was doing my OTP, which I just banned myself from playing because I was playing too hard. I was just going too hard.

New divergent simulator. Yeah. The, let me just take a look at our stats. This sort by OPS Plus here. Yeah, boom. Oh my, Trey Turner's been shitty too.

We still only have three players with above 100 OPS Plus. That's Shwerber, Harper, and Marsh. That's all we need, baby. Yeah, so maybe you do, I mean, do you move, do you move, let's see, let me look at Sosa. Stott is, yeah, do you move

like Bohm and Sosa? Yeah, I think so. I like Sosa's utility guy, though. Yeah, I agree, but I don't think anyone wants them. I mean, honestly. He's cheap. Yeah. It's not.

I try, maybe try and move Alec Bohm. Negative 0.7 war this year. Yeah. But prices, Stats, negative 0.4. So, I mean, I do not know. Get rid of some of these guys.

I don't know. We DFAed Zach Pop. I just saw that. Oh. Yeah. Sorry. His war was negative 1.4. Oh, dear. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, I'm sorry. That was his career war. I misread. Sorry. He still wasn't doing very good. Yeah. I don't know.

I think we can make the playoffs, but. We're sneaking in there. We're going through the back door. I don't know. I don't know. We don't have like guys to move. I guess if you were desperate, move Painter and Bone in some sort of thing,

but you'd have to, you need more than one guy. Yeah. You need a team that's selling. You need a team that's selling that wants to take, hey, these guys, and then I think we have to take a guy who's like overpaid. Right.

Like, already not that it's our money but like if that salary cap goes into effect we are host yeah i wonder i wondered i was listening at some other baseball podcast and like the idea that maybe there will be baseball next year maybe the idea that they're that the the the MLB is willing to throw the soft cap in or the the floor is a sign that they're willing to actually play ball so the floor was pretty the floor was was actually pretty high it's on 40 i think you said yeah so so a bunch of teams would would be below it already. It's,

it's, what was the team that, that just, we, we just got a hint of their valuation. Was it the Marlins? I don't know. Well,

the Padres, did the Padres sell? Or selling, yes. Are selling for like four billion. Yeah. Yeah. So that, that tells you some idea of,

how much money that's that that that's none of these teams are losing money 3.9 billion yep 3.9 billion yeah none of these teams are losing money um no no no no no yeah it's fucking fucking stupid

um yeah but yeah this is the time of year we're really just got baseball to look forward to it's the boys of summer man yep we're uh wow I lost my train of thought there

you're doing great Yeah, we lost make sure. You want to just move on the messages and call this? Yeah, sure. If the point comes back to me, I'll come back.

All right. So, yeah, we mentioned this earlier we were doing the intro segment. So you're just Kyle from Cleveland. Kyle from Cleveland here. I always wear jeans because of how hot it is.

But that's most because I work in a factory. And I've just been burnt and slashed in my legs just in root of introvert. It also avoids bug bites. I was doing this with Asperger's at the age of 15. I had IQ of 153 in that same test. I've never been knocked out.

But I do drink a lot. So I might have smooth that number out a bit. Yeah, buddy. Maybe a little bit. That's a pretty, that's a pretty high IQ. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So, uh, congratulations. Robert. Congrats. Congrats. I hate jeans. I hate jeans. I hate jeans. I know you said that. I like a good pair of jeans is nice. I don't, I don't care. I'm not wearing your legs. My legs? Your legs. Why are jeans my legs? I'm not wearing your legs. Oh, am I asking me too. Also, my legs are pretty. Yeah, yeah. You got, you got, you got, you got, you got calves the size of coconuts.

A small one, yeah. Little baby coconut. Yeah, yeah, for sure. I like that my definition is starting to slowly return to the torn one. Nice, dude. Yeah. Shit. Okay.

Yeah, try it maybe, maybe a... Cool it a little bit. With the booze to get the IQ come back up a little bit. But welcome to the club of high IQ underachievers. Although I don't think you fit into that You did you did find a way to make that work Yeah All right we got metric Mike hey

Hey hey Tommy Lee and metric Mike he him with a quick one I'm gonna have to put this in the show notes But yeah yeah yeah yeah I need to send a screenshot of the Cleveland Deserves this that Roshin mentioned because holy shit you need to see it It is so fucking funny If you don't know where to talk about listen to the last episode Rishin's Vox Pop segment

it's literally Cleveland deserves this and the stadium and the stadium they shoveled dirt on Like it's burying it Also I feel like everyone should agree that shoveling pile dirt onto the field Has a visual effect of looking like

You're burying the field And the team's hopes and dreams yes Fuck the Browns Fuck you for sudden Sean Watson You deserve nothing Mike it's like I get it It's a groundbreaking but like Why are we piling dirt onto the model field?

Fuck OS you go hockey, go guardians I guess just go hockey $200 million for Deshawn Watson's sexual assaulting ass All guaranteed, baby And Jimmy Haslam has come out And said like that was a big swing in a miss

It's like yeah because you're fucking stupid Dude Yeah You're stupid Give me your money and your team Listen, I'm not saying I'm going to win this rebel every year But I would at least put like a contender on the field

Just by pay I'm going to pay guys You know what they're doing Okay here's what you do We talked about this Here's what you do You draft smart guys And then you fill your front office with a bunch of guys who are like, okay, your job is the owner is to sit in your box and smoke cigars. Again, really wasted.

That's your job. Stay out of it. Then what you do is you draft a fucking good O line. Yes. That's what you start with the line. You start with the line. The trenches is where the game is won. And I'm going to be like, listen, you guys are the smart guys.

If you do your best, I'm going to give you guys the credit. I'm going to make you guys like, you're going to be wealthy men. When you leave here, if you get rings and shit like that, oh, man, I'm, I'm not going to be in your face, but you got it, you got it. Look, we got to win every year. We got it. And we're never tanking. That's the one, that's my one rules.

We're never tanking. Tanking is dishonorable. I don't give the shit if we go four and four, four and 13. We're not tanking to do it. We're not tanking. Nope. And, yeah, it's like in the fucking OTP. I'm filtering by work ethic.

You can do that? They do talk about guys' work ethic. They do. Yeah, of course they do. But when you have best player available, you have a generational talent, like you're going to take a swing on that. Right. That's like a Ben Simmons type of guy.

Like, they knew that he was kind of a bum, but like. Yeah, bummed Simmons. But he was really good. You know who's a Ben Simmons apologist? Who's that? Oh, yeah? Yeah. Apologists is a strong word.

Isn't he like fishing in the Bahamas now? Yeah, I mean, it's. It's like Cardale Jones at O'sEO. Hey, dude, you know what? Go fish. I don't give a shit. I do not give a shit. With, you know, with Cassiano's leaving the Philly area, the last stench of that

that house in Moorstown. Unless someone buys that house, that's also an athlete. Because who else would have been able afford it? I don't know, a banker of some kind. Yeah. All right. We got only one voicemail this week from Magpie. So let's listen to that.

Hey, Tom, hey, Liam. It's Magpie again. I'm talking about. So baseball nationalization of the major league baseball. A good idea, but I'm not sure I trust the government to keep things good. You know, the government tends to suck and do sucks things. True. So, um, I raise you all baseball co-op.

A proletarian state. Every player, a member of the discovering body or whatever. Yeah, uh, Leon, you got to watch Andor. It's really good. You're going to love it. Oh. I've been keeping up with the, uh, the Carolina hurricanes kind of like hate watching them, hoping that they'll lose after, uh, they fucking slept up.

I was hoping Canada could do it, but they did not. I will never room for the Habs. They could not do it. So hopefully the Golden Knights can do it. I don't know if I like that team name. It seems a little bit. A little bit, I don't know. No, they suck, and you should hate them.

I don't know. We're off to a fine start on that. I just got to do it three more time. Happy pride to everybody. Oh, yeah, happy pride. I think that everybody should give, if you know a trans person, he should give them $5,000 in their free weed. I think that's a good thing to do. They keep by their own wheat with $5,000.

That's true. And if anyone hears this to it queer, I hope something very profoundly clear happens to you this this prime month. Death to America, death to capitalism. them. On the subject of Rob Manfred's penis, happy five months. We're doing penile preserving vaginoplasty.

Okay. Penal preserving facetion. Yeah, all right. Sure. So you get a vagina but keep your penis? Is that what?

Stacks kind of situation? Hey, listen. Do in the ideal Star Trek world where you can just like change your gender by going into like the matter. medical thing. I'd fucking do whatever you want. Get weird with it.

I don't give a shit. I want to talk, I'm trying to find this file. I don't know if I have this file, but I want to talk about what you said earlier, Magpie, about the nationalization. So obviously, like broadly when I say nationalize, I, yes, workers co-op or something like that, nationalize it in the context of, I also mean that. Yeah, we're building, we're building a proletarian state and the government is,

is run by the workers in. Yeah. Here in Cuckoo Land. Yeah. So I wrote up a, I got really into out of the park baseball. I mentioned that. Oh, yeah. Did you?

This was during the pandemic. And I was actually getting the point where I was going to look up to how to modify the games, the games files because I came up with this idea for a league where how to preserve, like, how to play the game. but under a socialist context, like to actually make it so you didn't have to worry about the budget type of stuff. But, and I was thinking, like, how would you actually do that? How would you run that team?

And they give like the sort of TLDR version of it is that, and you might, you guys might have heard me say this before. The team name and the records all is owned by the people of the city that they're from. That is tied inexorably to it. You cannot take that with you. You cannot move it out of the city. whatever. The, the city itself, in partnership with the players league, which is cooperative, run the league. Like, so the league is run by the players. The team name is, is, is, they, you have

represented this from the city on like the governing board of the team, but also the players. And that forms like your front office. So you have wherever like the city elected representative or however you figure that out. Those people, you know, like Department of Rec type people are also with the league people running the team. And the players would like, you know, we would like appoint a manager or elect a manager. Obviously there's details to be fleshed out. I had a shitload of this fleshed out. I was really trying to think about like how you would do this. The other thing would be that teams would have like an exclusive like not exclusive you have geographical like you build up your your system locally so your your team is mostly people from your city geographic draft rights that

the old NBA did yeah but you're not you're not actually drafting or training so it's more like professional soccer it's also if you look into how Cuba does it too it's sort of similar to that but you can change teams at a certain point like you don't want to be like hey you have to play in this city and you really want to move. But, like, you have to get cleared or something. Like, you can't just jump around either because you don't want to have it where, like, one place is the only place where the good, the good baseball players are from. And then I also had this as a sub thing.

And this would be the last thing is for a format of you would have a, your regular sort of game, you have your regular seasons. And you would have a lot of, like, local. teams that would play. And then you would have like a super season. So it's like all 50 states or whatever it is would play against each other, players only from that state. And that would be like your brag like that would be at the end of the regular season

after the regular, like the city franchises playoff. Then you would have your super season after that. And that would be, I think that would be so cool. Like, yeah, we're between the states type shit. That would be, I think would be cool. And that would be more, I would imagine a lot of people. would like that because it would be like college football

type of vibes. And the players would be open to anybody who could make that team like so you could have amateur. It really, and in this my mind, it was like, this is a proletarian state.

So everyone's sort of professional and amateur at the same time. Like the barrier between the two doesn't really exist because everyone's needs are guaranteed. So anyway. But that was, I did a quick curse research

at my Google Drive. I had to find it. I typed it up. Oh, you know what? It's probably under, I'll look it up. If I find it, I'll share the doc. It might be on my old SRA, Google Drive. But I thought that would be a cool.

I like that. A lot, actually. But yeah, if people out there don't know, look into how Cuba runs their league. It is quite interesting, and it is very geographical-based, although Havana tends to dominate in its suburbs because it's populous. Populous. And then Santiago, which is in the same. Southeast, I think, also dominates the second largest city.

But, yeah. So I thought that would be cool. All right. All right. We're 52 minutes. We can peace out. All right. Shouts out to our North Catholic to your patrons.
