He is actually going to eject a fan. Because bad things happen in Philadelphia, bad things. Joy is to come to Philadelphia and stand here at Dodge Ice Bull. Those town boys. Head of Sets, Mike, John Cooney. And we're live. We're live. We're live.

So I got a confirmation for our booking in the city redacted for our big trip this summer. Yes, of course. And, you know, it's like your Bavarian beer. walking tour. Oh, I wonder what country that could possibly be. Yeah. And then it says, would you like to add on our third Reich walking tour? I was like, what makes them think that we'd like to, we like to see that.

And I mean, obviously, as a history nerd, like, I'm going to, hey, let's go walk by these like things like, you know, like the Hofbrow house. where the blue fauna was whatever, but like... Oh, sure. Yeah, like, I don't need a German to be apologetic about it.

Like, I don't know. Be a little as weird about it, maybe. Yeah, like... Just so you know, we are not the Nazi anymore. Do not look at the last election. Oh, what is it? AFD.

I'll turn to the Deutsche one. Yeah. Yeah. The... We wish we could call ourselves Nazi party. Yeah. You know, it's funny.

We mentioned, I can't see what you're doing now. It's driving me nuts. Because that sounded very interesting that noise. Because that noise sounded interesting. It sounded like you were sawing something. No, I wasn't. I was grabbing the remote to turn on Germany versus Curesec. It's the World Cup, dude.

Yeah, yeah. If Curacao be sharing me, that would be very funny. They won't. They're already down 1-0. We're like 19 minutes at, but. Yeah. I was like I say, oh, yeah. So when I tell people where we're going,

they're like, oh, you're going to visit concentration camps. And are you? No. Why? Why do you just restrict my people in this? Why? Right. And I don't understand why.

People ask like, well, why are you not going to like Dachau or wherever? And it's like, I, my answer is I already know what happened there. You don't, I don't need to be like sad for the first of my trip. Yeah. Yeah. I already know what happened there. Sure. But it's, I don't know, like, Americans are, like, I got the same thing when we went to

Amsterdam. They're like, did you go to Anne Frank House? I was like, no. Like, why not? I was like, I read the book. Like, I don't want to be sad. I'm on vacation, right? I'm on vacation.

Like, I know, like, is it like, you guys don't know what this stuff is? Like, I'm trying to figure out like this American impulse because, because several, but my wife. I don't understand that at all, right? It's like, and I understand. Like, like, my. why I say, would you ever visit the concentration camp? I said, yeah, I mean, I'm not opposed to it. I would in the, but is it going to be on my summer fun vacation?

Right, absolutely not, of course. Like with my wife, like, I know, I already, like I said, I already know what happened. Like, I have a degree in history. I was there. I was like, no. I was going to say that old, that old joke. Yeah, my grandfather was there. He died.

They fell out of a watchtower. Yeah. the watchtower, yeah. Excuse me. Yeah. That's a little baffling, I'd say. I wonder if it is telling about Americans, like, interaction with history.

It's like, of history. You're not a history person. Right. That makes sense. Like, you're so removed from it that it's like, well, why wouldn't you see it while you're there? Because, like, how would you know it happened? It's like, because I read.

It happened. I read about it. Yeah, I read. Curisell scored. Oh shit Yeah, it's 1-1 Did you go to the Air Bonaire?

Cursel Yeah Cursel, yeah I would be very happy if they beat Germany just as a giant slayer Oh, me too, dude I would love that shit

Um Fuck, I had a dream about Aruba the other day Oh yeah? Yeah, I can't remember what it was I just know that I had to dream about it Maybe about the airport Have you been Aruba?

No, I haven't. How is it? Rubba's nice. It's very vagusy. Apparently, Curisal is definitely more authentic. Oh, it's curious. Al-Wulhamstad. Yeah.

I mean, I like the Rubba. It's fine. Been there twice. But I was just just thinking about how annoying the airport is because you have to go through security twice. Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure Curisal is similar to that. is.

Yeah, you get screened and then you have to go pick up your bags and go get screened for the American side. Oh, can we streamlines? No, no, we don't do that. And they don't do that in the Kurosah?

No, we had to do that in the Aruba. Why? I think it's because it's like, it's like in Ireland where you have preclearance. Oh, okay. Yeah, but they don't automatically move your stuff over.

Like they don't have, I think they don't have a physical connection between, Whereas like when you do it when you when you do it in Ireland your bags are already pushed through. Right. But when you're doing it in the Rubba, you know, you have to pick up your bags again and have them go all through again. That's just kind of insulting on this like. Yeah. It takes it and you know, the planes all kind of arrive in bunches.

Right. So you're waiting forever to leave. I mean, this is all first world problem bullshit. But. It's still a little frustrating at least. Yeah. I mean, it's a small island that should not have like barely. anybody you want it. It's literally a desert. The ABC Islands are, there's a desert in Venezuela and

Colombia that's like adjacent. You don't realize how close you are to Venezuela there. I mean, you can literally, from Aruba at night, you can see the catatumbo lightning that's over, was it, how do you say Marisibo, Lake Mariscibo? It's like that big Gulf. Maracaibo. Yeah, I know what you're talking about, but. Lago de Marracibo. Maracaibo, Marisaibo, I don't know. So it has a lot of lightning. Yeah. You can see a lot of lightning there and you could see it from Aruba at night, which is kind of cool.

Kurosat was really cool. I liked Kurosawa. Yeah. I've heard, I've heard. William Scha was very, very well, very pretty and painted beautifully and stuff like that. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, no, I've heard it's, I've heard it's nice. I heard Bonner is really pretty for the snorkeling.

Oh, okay. I'm not a snorkeling guy, but I might make an exception. Yeah. Oh, snorkeling's fun, man. Yeah, I've never been snorkeling. No? This is the fish. Too many fish?

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. You know me? Well, we did this. We did this one snorkeling trip on the southern part.

Like, they broke up. Or something like that. And there's just like protected snorkel channel that you can take. You're still breaking up. Got it. And then it pops you out, except if you go like too far, like, they'll like, oh, by the way, you'll just get sucked out to see if the ties to turn away. I was like, oh, I guess

I won't go there. Oh, cool. Great. Thank you. Thank you, boys. Yeah. It does help sometimes to pay for a guide. Yeah, you broke up for me for like 15 seconds, but this is the best I can do. I'm sorry. Oh, did you, did you hear nothing I said? I heard about snorkeling and then

dying. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you got most of it. Yeah. Your response sounded correctly to me, so. Oh, good. Yeah. Shit. I guess we can do the intro, you know, it's only been eight minutes.

My name is Liam McGannison. And my pronouns are also he, he, him. And his, why not? Sure. maybe I should be doing the German the Dalitia accent Oh you can tell me how to properly pour a beer

Like an asshole Oh Ah yes Do you have this beer in In Germany We call it the tibetia Shut the fuck up You don't know how to pour a tap

You don't know how it works It's the same fucking system here As it is in Germany asshole Um No guess What were we four years out You're still bad about that It was just like

I don't know Like, obviously, you should be mad about it. You can't pigeonhole an entire society, but I've met three Germans, and they were all condescending in their own ways. So, like, like, that I've, and I knew, I worked with one. Like, he was, that's the eye lends how to say it. Like, I can do a okay fake German accent because I stole his. Oh, good job.

Yeah. Like the guy who, uh, he put a, when I worked at this one job in the, in a warehouse, I had a little, there was a zone. if you put anything in a certain zone, I threw it out, threw it in the dumpster. And he put like a bunch of asbestos tables in there. And I didn't know they were asbestos tables. Oh, no.

And he's like, no. I do you put the asbestos in the dumpster. I was like, first off, you had asbestos and you didn't tell me? He's like, well, what would you say if they find out the environmental that we throw abestos asbestos? I was like, what will they say when they find out that you put asbestos on protected in the warehouse? He's like, okay, fat points. He just like, shut off.

Good enough, man. That's crazy work. Yeah, so we'll just pretend that never happened. Just if you've never seen asbestos, like, you know, it looks like particle board. Mm-hmm. So it's hard to tell. So I haven't breathed in. I think it was contained, but, you know, yeah, that place, that place is still in business

and should be shut down for multiple environmental violations that are done every day. Anyway, fuck you announcements. Voice mails call on 26737371718. Give us your name, pronouns. Tell us what you would do with my old German engineer's penis. Patreon.com slash 10,000 losses. We get all over bonus episodes. See, if you're listening to this now, I am in-country redacted.

It was a little bit delay in getting some episodes out. So fuck it. Just listen to it. I appreciate that. You at least have a podcast to listen to because we're the only podcast. We're the only podcast. And, you know, without us, you would be, I don't know. You'd be bored and sad.

Reading a book or something. So I guess the biggest news is the Nix one, but who gives a shit? Yeah. And also the World Cup is happening right now. Yeah. World Cup. Well, I want to talk about some of the World Cup stuff later on. But yeah.

What is with everyone glazing the Nix? That's gross, dude. I don't get why like oh it's like first off San Antonio it's not like like like

it's not like San Antonio is this evil city it's that I think people are just like oh my God New York had something good happen to it it's just like I don't care I don't like New York

it's the best city in North America like they got tons going for it like like maybe not North America but come on like they got everything they have they can get any food they want they have good public transit shut the fuck up stop pitching exactly that's how i felt so yeah yeah you got to know have very handsome mayor um who's pretty good but you know backed off the cop shit which he's kind of interesting

he did you know i this is we haven't been doing politics really that much but i do want to say this is showing that i think that you basically i'm probably i'm probably I'm not the first to think this, that you basically have a Frye Corps in every city. So even the most blue city that wants to do police reform is basically going to have to find some way to avoid being assassinated by their own police. The FOP basically, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Like, like. I don't think you're wrong.

If you actually wanted to, you might actually have to do this on like a gubernatorial level and announce like wide ranging police reform where you almost use. I don't know. this, it would have to be a state where the state police are held pretty on a tight leash. Like you could use the state police to help you or you just deputize, use your power to like, yeah, exactly. You would, you would need something like that. Like in Philly, in theory, you could probably deputize the sheriff's department. Oh, the most infamously not heinously corrupt sheriff's department, of course.

You would have to strip, strip that thing down to the. Rochelle Ballal, who's possibly even more corrupt than Cheryl Parker somehow. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's like, all right. Do we really need a whole separate thing to take prisoners to court? No, we don't. No.

But, yeah, you wish she was like a $7 million slush fund and no one can account for it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Philadelphia, the greatest city in the world, baby. Better than New York. But the matter what, like, what you are, like, yeah, these, these cities are like kind of held hostage. by other cops, yeah. By their cops.

And you have to do so. This is why you shouldn't have armed cops outside of like a SWAT response squad. I agree. Yeah. Because you can't just have this body of armed people like, like, who are accountable. Unaccountable inherently right wing just by the nature of the job and their role as enforcers for capital. Completely good. Completely great.

It's really frustrating. And I think you're right that like it is. Yeah. I mean, unless you're willing to. state or federal level defund them or even the county level, I guess, in certain positions. Yeah. Sort of what, uh, what's this, what they did in Camden County or Camden, they dissolved the Camden Police Department and they had the county take over. Yeah. And, uh, that actually, the problem

there was that the Candle Police was very corrupt and not the Camden County police aren't shitty, but like they're slightly better, I guess. Yeah. And a lot of issues started to resolve. when they fucking got rid of them. So, I mean, anyway, but speaking of cops, one of the things that I want to say that a lot of people were glazing the Knicks about was about, oh, there's so many guys from Villanova on there. Isn't that cute?

Gross. If you're not from Philly, and we know there's quite a few you listen to this, Villanova is, one, not a Philly school. Not a Philly skull. It's not. Excuse me. It's in fucking, well, Villanova, Pennsylvania, but it's in, it's in, um, Radner. Radner, yeah.

Well, there's part of it that's in Lower Marion, too, but, um, the town anyway. But, but it's not in Philly. It's in the Burbs. Okay. Is it close to Philadelphia? Sure. Um, my, my beef is like not a geographic thing. It's just like, it's different culturally.

The mainline is entirely different culturally. It's, it's wealthy. ethnic kids. It's not it doesn't fucking have yeah, you're right,

it is a completely different culture. It's the main line for those who don't know, the main line is, is like the wealthiest part of like the Philadelphia area. And it's where a lot

when the, when the old money in Philly moved out of Philly, they moved to the main line. Named after the main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Yes, sir. Yeah.

So Villanova, you know, it's probably like the dominant Catholic college in our, in our area. But do you talk about LaSalle University that way? Yeah, very dominant, you know. Dominant eating their own poops. Yeah. I mean, it's part of the big five, but. City six, I believe you mean? City six, yeah.

Yeah, my stomach is hurt pretty bad, so I'm rotating. Let me know if you can still hear me. I could still hear you. that's good good cool yeah cool

but it's not it's not it's not a it's not a it's not a Philly school I still remember I still remember we had there was kids from out by I forget what Catholic school it was Alpiville Nova was a high school come to north and uh oh not Docherty

what was the one I can't remember era maybe I can't remember which one it was but they came to Philly and it was like we took the L to get here but they wrote it's sort of E L they wrote L because they just know yeah the letter L which I now is the fucking designator now how you how you do it right right but not then back then it was E L for sure for elevated right yes market Frankfurt elevated line yes yep so uh it's it's and and yeah like I said so that tends to be rich mainline kids so fuckville who are intolerable yeah and who are intolerable yeah and who

who believe that they, that they're like part of the fabric of Philadelphia, which fuck off and go home. Yeah. Yeah. Those are the, those, those Catholics are the reason

that my high school doesn't exist anymore. So, yeah. Fuck them. Yeah, the Pope went there, who gives you shit. The Pope,

the old Pope visited, St. Joseph's and not Villanova. So, the Jesuit school, the good one. Yeah. What, what,

what order is, is Villanova? not Benedictine Augustinian I want to say Augustinian Okay Yeah Order's staying Augustine

Augustine yeah Augustine of Hippo Do you know How well versed are you in the church doctors But I like Augustine of hippo Because he fucked a ton Yes And then it was like

All right now I'm gonna be like with Jesus I know very little about him But I know that about him But he was a fucking playboy Good for him Yeah And also he was African, too.

So anytime, if you see him painted and he's not at least like... And he's like... If he's like, what is that word for like very white? Not porcelain, like, alabaster. Alabaster. Yeah. Yeah, the dude must look like an Arab. Like, because he was like from North Africa.

Like, he should look like a North African guy. It's very funny when they have him like just... Alabaster white. Yeah. Alabaster white. Yeah. But, uh, Yeah, he was also a guy who went like back and forth.

He's like, oh, no, maybe. This is all crap. Mithraism. Was it Mithraism? That was also going around at the time. Could not. That I could not tell you. Yeah.

He like went back and forth between a couple different religions. Then he met Ambrose. Germany just scored. Oh, there you go. Ambrose of Milan. Ambrose of Milan. The namesake of the Ambrosian Golden Republic. Anyway.

Uh, d, do you, oh, did you hear, you, you heard about James Hardin, right? We did we talk about the, the gun for the passenger seat? Yeah. Yeah, so James. And now there's like weird bond conditions and stuff. Yeah. So he's charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon in Texas. Yeah, he was pulled over. All right. Uh, we're back. We're back. After nothing happened. After a weird glitch. Um, all right. So we're talking about James Harden charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon. He just had a gun in Texas. In Texas. He just had a gun in plain view. Like on his passenger seat. Yeah. Yeah. Um, fucking weird.

And you were saying that there was some weird. Conditions of his bail, yeah. Where he like, he can't drink. Huh. Which is like, what was he doing? Did they have something else for him? But they can't like nail him down. I don't know.

That's weird. It was weird. His bond, yeah. All right, here we go. Bail, yeah. His bond terms ban him from. possessing any fire and arms, ammunition, other weapons or from using, possessing, consuming any alcohol,

controlled substance, dangerous drug, or marijuana unless prescribed by a doctor and he must submit to random ear analysis. Doesn't that feel a little weird? It does feel a little weird. I mean, I wouldn't be shocked if he has a drinking problem, just based on when he was in Philly. But... What do you mean?

He was always at the strip clubs coming in the fucking blatant shit like that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Like, like, like, said, I would not be surprised if you drink too much. No, no. I would too if I had to live in Cleveland, Ohio. Sorry, Roshin, Mike,

and everybody else. But when I drink, I never have my guns out. On the passenger side of your car, yeah. Yeah. I have been around drinking and I've drank with people like, hey,

we just went hunting and stuff like that. And like, I've known, be like, hey, maybe you should stop like cleaning your gun now that we're drinking, dude. Just like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's just put it away. Been there, yes. Yeah, don't need it out, but don't need it out.

This feels like it's an accident way to happen, right? Yeah, I don't know. But, yeah, we'll see what happens. Speaking of guys from Texas or things from Texas, uh, Al Dahliaz Garcia is done for the season. Is he from Texas? He, but he wasn't a Rangers. Oh, okay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He tore his lad. Yeah, Jesus. So we got the guys from Who did we get the former White Sock? Yeah, we traded for Derek Hill. Okay. We traded,

they acquired Derek Hill International Bonus Money from the White Sox for Outfield Prospect, Dylan Campbell, Inful prospect, Jose Comineres, neither of who ranked highly. And then Jackson Rutledge was DFA'd. And so Adelis is on the 60-man IL for those who don't know, 60 man I.

60 day or 60 day IL? 60 day, sorry, 60 day IL. You're good. Removes you from the 40 man roster. You're still paid as an MLB athlete. You're still like fully, but it saves a spot on your 40 man. Right.

So he's not for the year. And Johan Rojas is out having UCL surgery, even though he's already on an 80 gain suspension. Yeah. Yeah, we have no one in the outfield. No. I'm playing right field next. Fuck it.

Sign me. Why not? Give it to them. I'll keep the ball in front of me. Yeah, hell yeah. Yeah, I won't get a hit, but. No, you're doomed, but that's okay. Yeah.

I mean, we thought about this before. You give me a couple months of training. I probably could get one hit. I don't think that's true. Like, you know, I know that you believe that. you're about yourself which I'm proud of you for but I could go listen I could go one for 300 I don't think they do go

I don't even think you're going that far what for 300 like I accidentally like like I swing and I accidentally like it's a weird single to right yeah we or like it some weird bouncing ball that dies like right between the pitcher and the catcher and it just happens like the catcher is super unathletic

and I get super lucky and I have to lay out a single yeah it could happen you never know that's true I guess you never know I mean maybe maybe I get a generous a fucking real

generous score Jesus Christ I get a real generous score He's like ah that wasn't there It's like it bounced off you know He fumbled it three times and dropped out of his glove And then through to first He's like well I'll still give him the hit Give him the hit

Mercy hit Yeah Yeah the Phillies I mean obviously we're doing a lot better than we were we're not dumpster fire anymore the outfield is is like nothing but we got complete game shut out by

by Ms. Rowski yeah Ms. Rouske cornfred freak yeah complete game dude through 105 dude how do you do that how do you throw how do you throw that

fast for that long like how long is that going to Before your... Hang on one second. Hang on one second. Zach needs me. Sorry. Pause. All right. There we go. I was looking up Jacob Mizraowski and I was like, oh, is it unfair to call him grain fed? And then he grew up in Grain Valley, Missouri.

Oh, well, that's that... I think that's fair then. Yeah. So... Where is that? It's in Missouri. Like, where? Like, near anything? West, the west.

Suburb of Kansas City. Oh, a cop. Yeah. So, racial and ethnic composition. White alone, 87%. Yeah. It's not as white as Missouri could be. Wow.

For the suburbs, yeah. But, yeah, he pitched the Maddox against us. 15 strikeouts, what, 95 pitches? Damn. Yeah, dude, he's good. He's good. I hope his. arm holds up because that's that's really hard that's i'm in throwing 105 is yeah my my students ask

like synonymous baseball guy like yo how fast can you pit do you have to be able to pitch to be a major league pitcher it's like it's like 95 now yeah i mean if you're older and you have like you have some good breaking stuff it could be a little lower um but yeah like 105 is is is insane it's successful with velo we keep talking about yeah i mean it works You mean, you barely have any time to make the decision whether the, you know, swing or where it is. Yeah. Yeah. It's nuts.

But World Cup, we were talking about the World Cup a little bit earlier. What I find amusing is the Europeans that are amazed at America coming over. That's been going on, well, at least on blue sky. the Scots finding the cop slide in Boston A bunch of other stuff Or people like doing... I saw that. Tubing.

There's a bunch of them going tubing. Oh, that's sweet. And there were some stories I was seeing I was like a German family stopped. They were like in the South or whatever and they're like asking for like, hey, what's a good place to eat? And basically a bunch of locals just adopted them for the day.

That's cute. I was like, you wouldn't get that in Germany. No Germans are going to. adopt an American family for a day. They'd be like, we don't feel like to talk to you. Oh, God. Yeah.

No thanks. Yeah. Vild Y'all too fond for us. The, oh, Germany is up three, one. Yes. They just scored. Yeah. No, the, the, I will, like, listen, listen,

we could, we can talk shit about America and the, the psychosis of America, but one of the good things about Americans is that we were very friendly. scored on a PK, yeah. Oh, did they? Yeah. So, like I said, we are a particularly hospitable people. We're generally friendly.

And our country is beautiful. It is. We do have cool stuff. That doesn't excuse the bullshit. The genocide, right. Yeah, we can't, but we can't pretend that there is nothing redeeming about America whatsoever. I mean, listen, I've been overseas long enough.

I do miss my home country. Like, I miss the Delaware Valley. How bizarre that is. I miss the hills and the, and the streams and the, and the pine barons. Yeah. So, you know, getting all patriotic. It's more about the land and the people than anything else. I get that.

Yeah. So it's not about the culture, but I get it. Yeah. Right, right. There's aspects. Like I said, like I said, like, I having been overseas enough the friendliness

the hospitality is something that really like the Irish has only really been to me taught by like Irish and Italians yeah yeah yeah yeah I'll buy that yeah yeah um

the Irish I think would probably because they would also like adopt you for a day they would say oh you know you just showed up on this like random ass like a little small town

and you need some help like all right let me show you where to go like if I just follow me fuck it why not um Italian times um we've been on we've been on tour groups where the after the tour is over the the tour guy's like yeah fuck it i'll just you want to come go get beer like we'll can show you around some

other stuff like i don't have to i don't have to be home for a little bit like all right so we've had we've had that kind of stuff too sick um all right we got a lot of dms today um so would you like to we got we got six oh god do we yeah so you want to take turns reading yeah yeah you want to the short one first. Please. All right. Go ahead. Yalom.

Yalom. Live long and prospering Tom. Henry from Minneapolis, pronouncing him with some news probably isn't

enough to Meritavis. Still worth reporting on Tifa of little-known niche Easter RPG Phelianianian

Phyllis 7 is going to be a DLC and Street Fighter 6. That's it. Bye-bye. I've heard of this Tifa.

Hmm. Hmm. Don't Google that. Don't Google Tifa with with say Surge off. Oh, God. Oh.

That was one of the, that was like when I was a kid, it was like, oh, if you press like the buttons, Tiffel get naked, like Tomb Raider. It's not true. It never existed. But, you know. But thanks, thanks for the update. The update, the update, the update, Henry. Henry update, update. Update.

Hey, Tom. Yay. of R.G. He him again with the update about the boys baseball before I get to my question. The team finished 4 to 8. Defensive miscues led the tire arms on the mouth and according to the coaches of at least five of the losses, I'm sorry, led the tire arms on the mound and according to the coaches

of at least five of the losses. The season was ridiculously tight so there was barely any time dedicated to practice. All the coach commented on how my son greatly approved over the year, including notching three hits and keeping his OBP high. In the last regular season game, he got Bean twice in a row. on the second one left the elbow bruise that kept them out of the pig tail game for the tournament

which the team lost in their walkoff as a reward for completing the school year to baseball season I took them to the bank because I knew it would be Cassie's first game back. That guy would be thinking I've seen the Phillies play the Padres a lot including one time where our man with Down syndrome was heckling Milton Bradley. Do you have any teams that you feel like

you've unintentionally seen play way more often? Go birds. Oh, then fuck Ohio State. Fuck that state too. It was in there. I can go first with this one. I have seen for some reason the Reds. The Reds. I was going to say the Reds.

The Reds way too many times. And the Marlins, obviously, they're a division rival, but I've seen the Marlins, like, I think, four times. And then I've seen the Reds a bunch. I've seen the Padres quite a few times, actually. Yeah. Yeah, I have seen the Padres three times. Off the top of my head, yeah.

But definitely, I think the Reds is the most. When I was a kid, I always felt like it was seeing the Expos. when I see the pirates a few times I haven't I haven't seen the pirates Not live I don't think I've seen the Mariners Seeing the Yankees Angels

I don't know Dodgers I can't remember Can't remember But yeah Definitely definitely For me Excuse me All right it's your turn

Hang on We'll just scrolled out I want to get the whole thing am I in frame. Yeah. Before you do that, I just want to say back to RJ. Also, glad your son. Just stuck with it, yeah.

Yeah. Ready? Yeah. Hey, Tom, Ye, Liam. Guardians has seen the division lead to the White Sox as for shooting the bed and going three and seven in the last 10 games, including getting swept by the Aaron and Judge Lankis at home. Our pitching is absolute shit show and our bats don't show up when it counts.

There's no reason for Stuart Fairchild, Matt Festa, Sean, Armstrong, Will Dian, Joey, Kint, and Reese Hoskins. What? To be wasting roster spots at this point, and Hunter Gaddis needs to be sent out to Columbus so he could work out whatever it needs to work out because it still has an option left. Stephen Vote to spend his back-to-back AL manager

of the year award, sorry, the Texas fall, has proven time and again that he's incapable of making non-boneheaded decisions throughout the course of the game. It's given to the point where the Phillies, the Guardians are due for a Philly-style fire, absolutely fucking everyone, house cleaning. Higher front office actually gives a day about winning instead of penny pitching, find a manager who can actually manage a competent hitting coach,

find bullpenner rotation arms that weren't scotch to the far fucking bargain. Then again, that all require a majority or not in Paul. Dolan, this was Costa Scotts, they can only do so much to this minority ownership state. Go guys, go cats, go birds, go, go Phil's, go birds. Fuck Paul Dolan, fuck Jimmy Hasam.

Fuck Ohio State and fuck Ben State. That sucks. Sorry that the the guardians suck again. I want to, I took a look at our boy, Reese. How's the doing?

Not great. Batting 185. Ooh. Yeah. The last year, one of the brewers, he actually had a decent year. I thought so, too. Yeah. Oh, his OPS Plus is still not horrible.

I guess it gets his, his, I mean, it's bad, but not like a business. Right. But, yeah, he hit, he's got six-home runs this year. That's not horrible. What's not bad? Yeah. In only 56 games. Yeah, that's a shame.

I still want my boy respect. I feel like he should finish his career with Philly. I think so, too. Yeah. It's a shame because, like, 2020 was, like, his best year. Alas. And I think if he didn't tear his ACL, you know, things might have gone differently. But, you know, whatever.

What would have been? Right. All right. We got a, we got a, I so much said a wookie ball update, an arena ball. Hey, Tom. Hey, Liam. Post and we'll hear with an arena ball update. The National Arena League has entered its postseason with six teams of its nine,

playing for the championship. The Amarillo Warbirds, Louisiana. Oh, wow. Rougaroo. And booted from the league. Rougaroo. Yeah. Roo.

Yeah. And booted it from the league Dallas Bulls were the three on the outside looking in, while the Southwest Kansas Storm and the Pueblo Punishers earned the first and second seeds. Round one saw the Salina Liberty defeat the Colorado Spartans while the dreaded Omaha Beef. Overcame a five game

losing streak and fired multiple coaches to finish the regular season at Fire 100. We'll fire the coaches until the winning improves. Defeated longtime rival Sioux City bandits. Round two will see the Liberty travel to Pueblo to face the punishers while the beef will go to Dodge City the face of storms.

My picks for the championship game would most definitely be the startup Punisher is facing the stun, but we'll probably see Liberty and Beef because we can't have anything nice. Anyway, off to deliver the mail. Dreams of my incoming Oshkosh NGDV that the USPS is granted for our office.

I could really use the AC and lack of repair bills from my beat to shit transit connect. Fuck MAGA, fuck Trump, fuck ICE, fuck billionaires, fuck Penn State, Postman Wookie out. That's I always said fuck fuck postman Wookie Penn State. No, we like him. No, we like them.

that is it's did you see the was it shared in the discord or at the group chat it was like arena football playing on like or like a field I don't think I saw this

yeah I have to find the picture it was insane um is it let me let me just scroll up on the other thing real quick yeah I'll copy the image

copy me media link. They'll put it in the chat. It's Tim Brown's a Renna League and they're literally playing like on a basketball court. On dirt or whatever. Yeah.

Like you can see the other basketball courts in the background. Like a training complex. Oh, wow. Yeah. Do you got Wayne? Yeah. Oh, Jesus. It's a long one.

Hey, Tommy. Liam, Wayne here. Pronsey, him. Yesterday, June 11th, the largest mockering soccer. begun in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Mexico started the first game yesterday at the Stadio Azteca with a

2-0 win over South Africa in the first meeting between the two countries. This is the first match of the 2012-2010 World Cup. Interesting. And the other match South Korea beat Chequette 2-1 as the date of writing the first match is for Canada and the U.S. will be scheduled to be played today with Canadians playing Bosnia and the U.S. playing Paraguay. We won that

for nothing. For 1, I mean. Did we get an own goal in that one? I think so. Yeah. Even before this tournament kicked off, the U.S. is showing it's full ass to the world. Senegal, Uzbekistan and Iraq with strips. Ew. Yeah.

For Antarok upon landing in the U.S. Iran is banned from entering the U.S. unless it's for a match at the state of Mexico. One of the best reparation of Africa was deporting in Bay because he's Somali. That's disgusting. Yeah. And a match shooting took place outside England's training camp in the midwis. We haven't gotten to the first day

of the absolute passion, same chance to play met like St.V. Hazard's matches, which will fail at some point. Meanwhile, the city of New York has forgotten about any other sport except basketball as the Knicks. I'm not even reading that. Game 5 is scheduled for... That's done.

And anyone from... Overcoming a 29 point deficit game 4 to be the spurs. Game 5 is scheduled for 8.30 p.m. with a lot of people who expect to go watch bars in the city. They won. Anyone from New Jersey may not get there because NJT is prioritizing World Cup travel for the Brazil, Morocco, and keeping up at 6 p.m.

I'll do a separate Gaelic football update later on, but for now I'll end it here. Fuck white nationalists and the British loyalists. I always fuck the GOP and all Democratic. Sick of fans. Free Palestine. Cuba and trans folks exist. Yeah, it's been a disaster from one I've read.

Jesus. Yeah. And no one in the news is fucking talk about the shit that happened to Belfast. You know? No. A fucking pogrom going on. It's fucking disgraceful. And I do like the guy who,

the Irish can never deny the allegations they have the largest heads in the world. That really big guy who defended the immigrants. with a Hurley stick. Oh yeah. Mr. going around. Yeah. Who somehow has a head larger than me.

Wow. Yeah. Yeah. A genuinely impressive accomplishment. Yeah. Yeah. It's a little bigger. Um.

What was I going to say also? I can't remember. But I can't say Nick's fans. I can't believe they would do things like beat up people wearing Spurs jersey. and acting. I thought only Philadelphians were that disgusting. That's what I heard, too. Yeah.

Oh, does the Stanley Cup over yet? No, game six is tonight. Okay. Let's see. Oh, the Golden Knights are down. So Carolina wins tonight, they win? Yes. All right.

All right, we got our last one. Hey, Tom, Yale, Liam, Juniper, Pro-Nalchi. They here with a PWHL update, professional women's hockey league. Montreal won their first Walter Cup with a series win over the Ottawa charge. The PWHI also added four new expansion teams in Detroit, Hamilton, Ontario, Las Vegas, and San Jose. The expansion took place recently with Frost fans celebrating the departure of noted transphobe Brita Curl to Detroit.

This expansion moves the league to a total of 12 teams in the league with future expansions likely in a few years. Looking forward to seeing these new teams next season, go Frost, go Birds, go Britta. Fuck Britta Curl. Fuck Carter Hart and fuck Penn State. And then Rochene actually came in and tagged a comment more like Carter. Shart, am I right? Yes, Rochie, you are right. We're all very proud of you.

Yeah. I want to say, they got to expand to Philly, right, at some point? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Philly, New York. They're in Boston.

They're in New York already. I can't remember. There is nothing I want more in my life than the insane, like, you already know how a sane Philly lady hockey fans are. Like women who like the Flyers. Right?

Yes. They, like, I, I would put them at the front lines of like a battle. Like they would they would they would kill with brutality. Imagine Philly ladies professional hockey fans. Just imagine imagine that. Imagine that woman in your mind. Just picture her.

Just to submit like, I don't give a shit if it's a fucking penalty kill me anyway. Like just just this absolute like tearing apart. Yeah, the arena to get to the opposite teams bench. Oh, hell yeah. I can fly you for you fucking water. I'm going to fuck. Oh my God.

Just the ideal woman, actually, if you really think about it. Yeah. I just, I'm imagining it in my mind and it's a beautiful thing and I wanted to happen so badly. They would be the vanguard of the revolution. Maybe the ones driving the tanks. All right. We got one voicemail this week from Josh. So let me, and there's a, there's a DM tagging up.

So let's listen to the voice. meal first. Hey, Tom, yay, Liam. Josh from Newark, Delaware here. Got a little safety third for you from this past Sunday, Wilmington Blue Rocks game. Absolutely beautiful day.

My father-in-law bought tickets for me and my family to take these grandkids to see baseball. We were in the second row directly behind home place. Could not ask for better seats or a better view. And, you know, when you're, that close, you can hear the umpire making his calls, you can hear players saying to each other,

and you can also hear the absolutely crucial reason that everyone in baseball these days wear so much PPE. And that is when you hear the sound of an 87-mile-per-hour fastball being thrown by the

absolutely horrible pitching of the bowling green hot rods be missed by the Blue Rocks batter be missed by the hot rod catcher and go directly into full contact with the poor umpires balls

direct impact the cringe and gasp of every man is audible I hope he had a cup I have never seen a man drop to his knees so fast as that poor bastard who was up to think of that game.

They had to call out medical for him to get him checked out. He was down on his knees for a good couple of minutes. He got up, he walked it off. He called the rest of that game. Now the rest of the game was, as the Blue Rocks

tend to be, kind of disappointing. Fun for a while, we thought they were going to win, but then they blew a 3-0 lead to lose 5 to 4 in 10 innings. But, you know, with the weather, being out with my family and kids and getting my lunch and beers paid for by my father-in-law, I can't really complain. Hope you guys are having a great week.

Fuck Penn State. Fuck DJT. Go bread socks. And fuck Pete Carmanos for stealing my beloved Hartford Whalers. A turn to goddamn Carolina Hurricanes. 100%. That's a wonderful day. Bring back the Whalers.

Bring back the Whalers. They had such sick jerseys. That's right. There's a picture in the notes here. He was right there. And our DM follow-up is, hey, Tommy, Elym, Josh from Derek Delaware here with a visual aid to my voicemail. I wasn't kidding. I said we could see and hear everything the players and Umpers sang.

Hopefully it brought a bit of levity to your day. I'm thinking about my balls getting crushed, but I guess he did have a cup on. Thank God. because if you didn't, they probably That fucking sucks. 4-1 Germany. 4-1 Germany. Yeah, yeah, dude.
