Why don't you go to North? The academics, I guess, were too difficult. Yeah. Learning's hard.
Starting point is 00:17:54 Learning is hard. This is an ableist. Judge is a bad school for bad people. Yeah. There's a lot of old North teachers apparently went there. I don't know. It's a cop school. North professors, teachers apparently went there. I don't know. It's a cop school. What, Judge or North?
Starting point is 00:18:09 Judge. Well, North kind of is too a little bit, but it's closed so we can abjure ourselves of that. Sure, sure, sure. Yeah. Fuck you, Cardinal Regali. Yeah. I guess all Judge alum are our enemies.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Yeah. Except for, well, except for my one buddy. Yeah, all right. You're my enemy. You're my enemy. Like provisionally, like there's times where we're cool, but it's like a love hate relationship. Sure, I understand. Do you want to talk about Nick Nurse?
Starting point is 00:18:39 Sure. And the Sixers who are going to do worse now. Yeah, I love how Nick Nurse's first interview has, has Howard Eskin. Ask him, well, do you want, do you want James Harden on this team?
Starting point is 00:18:54 It's like, well, he'd be like, it'd be great to have him back, man, but do you want him on this roster? It's like, all right.
Starting point is 00:18:59 All right. Howard, calm down. Calm down. Calm down. Yeah. That's his, that's his thing. know he's he's
Starting point is 00:19:06 a character he's right exactly he's doing a bit yeah i i don't know man i mean he does the tom tibideau thing current coach of the new york knicks where he runs his stars like 45 minutes at night yeah so joel and beads legs are going to be made of crab meat by the end of the first round uh i don't know where the sixers are going with james harden i i kind of expect he will resign yeah maybe on like a one year like deal like there's no point giving him like a five-year deal like he's 33 and if he wants to go back to houston so fucking bad he can go but he's he's more likely to get it to get a ring with us than he is yeah exactly exactly so that's why he's gonna end up on the boston celtics somehow and my beloved boston celtics who choked
Starting point is 00:19:53 on their own shit and died yeah it was pretty bad but jimmy jimmy butler's pretty fucking sick jimmy butler good at basketball, especially in the playoffs. Yeah. Nikola Jokic, don't ask him about his best friend, Darko Milicic, and who he votes for. Yeah, so I think, if you don't know, he's literally a fan of the Chetniks and is a far-right Serbian nationalist or Croatian. Yeah. I mix them up.
Starting point is 00:20:24 They're all this fucking same it's the same it's the same fucking language um it legitimately like they that's how we got shot yeah yeah you can get shot by a serb um oh yeah archduke franz ferdinand yeah shit me me and the habsburgs that's the shaky hands but even it's just both of you getting shot to death by a serb which would be pretty funny also pissing off anarchists that's another uh yeah yeah you do kind of annoy me a lot yeah well actually the black cam weren't anarchists though were they they were serving nationalists serve nationalists yeah yeah we think of them as anarchists just because
Starting point is 00:21:07 out of the stereo like the right right right but now that's the anarchist is the one that got the what's her name she was like they said she was like the most beautiful she was genuinely actually really pretty um she was like the art the empress not empress she was like the consort of the Archduke. I have no idea what you're talking about, bud. Oh, all right. Let's see. I'm going to Google hottest woman in history. All right.
Starting point is 00:21:32 All right. I like it. Let's see. Austrian woman, Austrian noble killed by anarchists. Empress Elizabeth of Austria. Thank you. you yeah in 1898 was murdered in geneva um and yeah that was franz joseph's wife ah yeah and uh yeah uh i mean some of those paintings man i got you got i got i got to kind of gotta get stiff right yeah those paintings are just absolutely out of control.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Yeah, that's a very fucking normal thing to think. Are you okay? Oh, right. Hold on. Portrait of Elizabeth depicting her long hair. One of two so-called intimate portraits of the Empress of all its existence.
Starting point is 00:22:21 Was kept a secret from the general public. I got you. I got you. You could definitely be like that. Oh, yeah, that's Tom's type. Yeah. Yeah, all right. What's up, Elizabeth?
Starting point is 00:22:37 She's been dead for a hundred... She died a hundred and one years before I was born. All right. Anyway. Oh, farting. Oh, I thought that was the echo of me making a noise. No, that was me farting.
Starting point is 00:22:57 All right. So, yeah, Nick Nurse is going to get killed by... Yeah, Nick Nurse is going to run this team into the ground. They're not going anywhere. Nothing's happened nothing's changed uh we should we should talk about the eagles uh oh yeah on probably like next week or the week after like once you get like a better idea of what the roster is maybe gonna look like yeah definitely um yeah it's not like a ton of changes like now but yeah there's stuff i mean especially with the new guys but yeah we definitely should right um what's true i guess once training camp exactly fully opens um yeah sorry we have a short one for you folks this is just a uh
Starting point is 00:23:37 slim slim week well it's it's starting to become that time of year where shit slows down. It's just going to be baseball content 24-7. Yeah. I do have something that's baseball, not baseball, basketball related. Yeah, I see here in the notes. Hit me with it. All right. So NBA 2K. So it's the free game on PlayStation Plus or whatever.
Starting point is 00:24:01 One of the free games this month. So I got it. All right. I haven't played 2k since like i want to say 19 right which which was fun and and but and and i will say this out of all the console sports games they have the best franchise mode and sure they have one where you got all these like different areas and shit that you could like 80s and they make the commentary look like the 80s right but man so i create my player which i try to scan my face doesn't really work so uh but the the entire the it's there are so
Starting point is 00:24:36 many fucking ads and not just like like oh like you have an ad here and now they're like on the screen like right like like billboards and like the fake city which is it which is a a uh by the way it is an urbanist paradise because there's no cars hey it's like go over and say hi to jake from state farm come on dude you gotta listen to like a minute talk with jake from state farm uh go over and talk to uh zion williamson about mountain dew like those are your quests that's ridiculous yeah and they don't tell you that the quest doesn't really lead to anything they make it sound like it's like like oh like maybe you'll get like you know some badges for your player because you got to build your player and then look the um you start off with like a 60 overall player out of like 99 which is actually lower than you think so it's like it's it's shit it sucks your your player fucking sucks i mean you
Starting point is 00:25:34 have to to level them up but you have to earn like the virtual currency it takes 450 000 dollars worth of the virtual currency that's something like 200 to fully level up your character jesus yeah and that's including the grinding except for the badges and like there's a lot of like good stuff it's a good basketball game it's a good sim it's but at the same time dude holy shit it's got worse because i remember there being some of that stuff in 2k19 but yeah this it's that's how i feel about watching we talked about this watching sports in general is like difficult now because of the sheer amount of like gambling ads yeah like just gambling ad after gambling ad after gambling ad and it's crept into like abc
Starting point is 00:26:16 six is like sports coverage yeah yeah it's like local sports presented by draft kings like why i'm wondering when they're gonna actually let you do gambling on uh in the fucking game i It's like local sports presented by DraftKings. It's like, why? I'm wondering when they're going to actually let you do gambling in the fucking game. I know you can do weight like wagers on or like a pick them thing. You're in points, but whatever. Right. Like like they it is insane. It's it's it's it's legitimately like the number of ads. And it's like I know that the market they go towards and and like there's like a black lives matter store in the game like yeah which of course you
Starting point is 00:26:53 know that we're all for that right we're all you know that feels very deeply cynical though but it feels cynical yeah and you can get like at least you don't have to pay for like the shirts or whatever because if you did i would have been like jesus christ right that would have been fucking that late stage capitalism right there right right right yeah i just remember zooming in and it's like black lives matter like that i mean i understand i understand like like why they wouldn't want to do like a social you know justice aspect considering you know the the NBA walkout and all that. And yeah, the NBA itself has its own cynical reasons for promoting it. But yeah, like we're, like I said, we're both pro that, but, um,
Starting point is 00:27:35 or pro like, you know, black liberation river. But, um, yeah, it just, it just, everything's commercial. And then like, there's so much, like, everything seems to be all the dialogue in the game and it is there are funny moments like they must they must have actual writers writing a script for like this cut scenes and stuff there's a shitload of cut scenes which annoys some people i don't give a shit if it's funny i watch it but right they everything's like it's like a yuppie dream it's like a yuppie entrepreneur. It's like a yuppie entrepreneur. Like it's like a world where everyone gets to be an entrepreneur.
Starting point is 00:28:07 It's like this neoliberal fantasy is what this like world world. And it's like, this like weird, subtle, I don't think they mean it to be like that kind of propaganda, but with like the dialogue and like the disjointed this with like the random go listen to, to state farm guy or mountain.
Starting point is 00:28:24 But you wonder if it's sort of on purpose it's not maybe on purpose but it's not an accident sort of deal right right because it's the kind of people who'd be writing that who'd be willing to write that kind of stuff right yeah would be kind of on board with this shit and it's yeah it's yeah oh you're you're a startup you know sports player agency like that kind of shit but yeah goddamn man i don't know what rent costs in the city um where you can walk and there's a medieval castle in the middle of a north american city but um okay yeah i'm here for it yeah yeah yeah sure um but um damn that's 20 grand uh like a square foot kind of fucking rent like it's insane i don't know it just
Starting point is 00:29:06 obviously it's a fantasy it's a video game and i'm probably this is me putting my english teacher hat on like kind of like doing an analysis of what i'm seeing oh sure but it it's fucking weird man like versus like mlb the show where it's like all right you're a baseball player uh what happens when when you do your like career mode the coach would be like hey taking not taking a lot of walks why don't you uh work on that in the cage oh and your answers are okay skip or oh i don't need to skip like like this is a basketball game we're talking about right exactly it's just it don't feel deeply cynical yeah i think that's that's what it is is like even if it wasn't meant to be that way it's sort of like the people who are paying a good amount of money
Starting point is 00:29:51 to see their brand in the game yeah like are gonna they're gonna get they're gonna get there like they're gonna get it and you know i i've had these you remember when battlefield 2042 first came out many years ago 2142 and there were all those ads in the game like so much that it marred the experience yeah it just like it feels like that's how i feel like watching like watching the nba now is like a chore yeah where it's just like oh here's like presented by draft fucks and this other thing presented by draft fucks and this right and then like you get these players who are like you know yeah they shouldn't be allowed to gamble on their own
Starting point is 00:30:29 sport but like the right but like the bullshit it's it's a little it's a little much you know what i mean too much it's too much it's like every like like already every space is taken over by advertising now it's like every second right every second you must be being advertised to you must you know like this is the you know i think the phillies do this this is the toyota rav4 thinning it's like oh yeah the rav4 thinning hockey's the same way like the f-150 you know tough whatever like everything is just like you know presented by you know dodge or whoever it's just like shut up i i you know what i'm looking forward to when call of duty is like this is the raytheon airstrike i don't understand why they don't partner like as
Starting point is 00:31:11 i and i'm saying this purely like i'm probably giving them ideas like why not just partner with lockheed martin like i mean they partner with this department of defense right on the record that's not like a secret or anything it's open right and it's a recruiting tool america's army yeah all that shit i mean do you remember there was an ad and i forget what um there was like two or three hip-hop artists and it was like for call of duty like for the online one that you can just like it's like free to play and they're like driving around like you know like i don't know like a bandit airport or something like that and they're like shooting at each other and it's like yo we're just hanging out with buddies like we're having fun just shooting at each other it's like dude like all right man like have you seen what it looks like what what five five six yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:31:53 looks like when it goes through someone's fucking head like it's not fun and i like call of duty i just yeah we love violent games both of us but it's just like i don't love the idea of like war is just clicking buttons and like yeah just having a good time with your pals out there smoking a you know a seven-year-old child to death like oops oops you hit the wedding yeah like yeah no well achievement unlocked achievement unlocked yeah exactly oh man the obama presidential library is just a children's library that's been bombed it's just xbox consoles with call of duty on it yeah right but i haven't seen anything about his i've seen that his netflix show is apparently like heinous i was just very neoliberal but i can't i know i don't think you're a big fan of chapo guys but they uh they did it no no i'm not
Starting point is 00:32:42 not not typically but i think a lot of it is just like i don't listen to podcasts normally and then it's just like man i don't like not to this isn't donkey on chapa specifically i just don't give a shit what anybody else thinks i i like them politically they do a good job when there's like media and stuff out they do do a good job of kind of like breaking down like i i believe that and from what the segments that i have heard that i've liked are all those the like media dissection threads yeah less that less the come down kind of stuff which is yeah not i mean it's taylor swift baby yeah uh didn't they didn't they uh didn't she break up with him yeah she did yeah she's gonna date stavi next i uh ross and i were talking about that saying
Starting point is 00:33:23 that we earnestly hoped that happened oh that would be funny uh well speaking of which hold on a second one second oh dude hell yeah dude all right there we go thank you um i was i was i really pissed off jay when uh ross was doing that stream yeah um because i kept uploading new sound bite drops and I, I guess I've gotten so quick with addition.

Starting point is 00:36:09 Once I think from the Wednesday game where Jason Kelsey was chugging a beer. And then the other ones from after we were hanging out. So let's, anyway, let's get to Moe. Yeah. Hey, 10K losses. This is Moe from Canada Land calling in. Oh, no. You don't usually get a lot of news about Philadelphia up here, but I saw a post.
Starting point is 00:36:32 Did you know that the Philadelphia Horticultural Society will work with you, if you live in Philadelphia, to plant a tree in areas that don't have trees? Yes, we do. If you live on a shitty block with just sidewalks and no trees, you can apply to the Tree Tenders Program through the Philadelphia Horticultural Society, and they'll help you cut a hole in the sidewalk and plant a tree and teach you how to raise it. I thought that was really cool. So I'm calling into the only Philadelphia podcast I know to let you know about it. Thank you. Also, I was listening to your latest episode and I'm kind of disappointed you didn't mention

Starting point is 00:38:00 I have a batch processing that goes through. And then I have... I tried to shorten the silence. I think the last one, I forgot to processing that goes through. And then I have... I tried to shorten the silence a little. I think the last one I forgot to do that. It's very minimally edited. Except for the beeps. We gotta do the beeps. Otherwise we'll be delisted.

Starting point is 00:39:07 Must be nice to beat a New York team. Big win. Especially coming off of getting knocked out of the Open Cup and stuff. You know, building towards the very long league cup break. Bunch of games. Games against Montreal next Saturday. Somebody will be there. Not saying who.
Starting point is 00:39:29 Now I know I have your own number now. I'm not going to say it. Yes. I love Charlie. He's so nice. It's going to be fun. Looking forward to that. They've got a game against Charlotte between there so

It's, what do you call it? It's after a question mark.

Starting point is 00:42:01 Union keep rolling along now. Nine games unbeaten after two wins at home this week on Wednesday night. Big Boy Summer truly began with Jason Kelsey signing the drum, bending the drum head and breaking my allot in order to start a game where the Union only get one goal to beat Charlotte 1-0. And then big boy summer really began when I finally convinced one of you guys to go out to a union game.
Starting point is 00:42:35 Wonderful time with our beloved Tonom. And, you know, first game, Pride Night, got attacked with Sons of Ben, Sissy Hypnogast. Yeah. And then rolled at the end, impacted Montreal. Yeah, they got smacked. 3-0.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Oof. Deleting crime. Good. Getting the first and third goals. Easier could have been 5-0. Like, really. That's awesome, dude. doing crime getting first and third goals easy gonna be fine nothing like really getting awesome technical and move them from I think it's a start of this run they were out of the playoffs in the East to second in the East nine points back Wow into that II or both the East and the supporter shield this
Starting point is 00:43:23 closes out a stretch of a bunch of home games. Now they're going to have four of the next five on the road, including two in California. Criss-crossing back and forth between now and the start of the league's cup. So, yep, you know, I don't know what the Phillies are doing, but they continue to be strong. Sucking, Charlie. They're sucking.
Starting point is 00:43:53 The unions are at least turned around in terms of the league, you know, going out to the two cup tournaments. It's not ideal, but at least in terms of the league, they went from 11th to second place in the span of nine games. I just want to say if anybody is thinking about going to a uni game, let me know. We can help you out. DM me at cplwolf on Twitter. Later, guys.
