We, the Dallas Cowboys, head of assessment, John Cooney. Wow. Right away. Oh, man. I'm overheating over here. What happened to you, Tom? I just ate ramen.

But yeah oh shit man I I normally record around 4 o'clockish I was I was speeding I had to stop at a store to some bribes for my students to do their work. And I got ramen as is my want. Sure.

If I, we've talked about this before, you know, and I went to home for it. I went to home goods to get the ramen, of course. Yeah, I went to home goods to get the ramen. I really, I really wanted to find the one that had the lead warning. Eat it. Eat the lead noodles. Did you see, so I, speaking of things you shouldn't eat, I opened up X today.

Yeah, prions, I will never fuck with prions. And honestly, I don't trust, like, deer processors around here.

Like, I know a couple people who hunt. And they'll be like, yeah, you want to like a, you know, be like, hey, I mean, I got some sausages made. Do you want a sausage? Right. And it's like, uh, I do, but. I'm also worried about chronic waste and disease. Yeah. Yeah.

Don't do that. Don't do that. Yeah, don't do that. I'm finally starting to come back down to normal. I was having some hairy thoughts there too. Like, I couldn't concentrate. You know, you can't pod like that in an altered state. Executive dysfunction.

Well, I already have. I know. Executive. We all know that you have it. Yeah, that's why I can't do more. more than like a month of having regular release dates. Well, there's your problem. It's been on a tear recently.

And it's just like, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, and do the pod. And I'm like, I don't care. Yeah, don't care. Get, get in the pot and tank. Get in the tank. Get in the tank. This is your one job, and I need you to do it, sir. Get in the pod and do the pod.

Then eat the bug. Eat the bugs. Eat the bugs. Bags. Baves in streams. Eat bugs. Faith and Streams. Oh, that's the Amprim book you're reading.

Why Hope the Case Against Civilization? Great book. Great. Again, what we talked about, there's different kinds of great, it has different meanings. Maybe great in size. Great in, you know, it's just one step till eco-fascism. Okay, but I've heard you unironically praised Stalin. Let's all calm down.

I mean, well, I mean, it's. someone someone had to do it the Kulaks had it coming and I just call my dad I just hear the most insane yeah yeah unreformed unrepented takes yeah I mean hey you listen hindsight's 20 20 man we all we all make so that's his defense of mal yeah I mean my most unhinged mal take like my thing that I think is most unhinged about mal is the motherfucker didn't brush his Teeth. Did you hear that? No.

No, he didn't. Or am I repeating mal teeth? You never brush his teeth? Western propaganda? Yeah, he never brought. Ooh. Ooh. Oh, that picture is pretty bad.

His teeth are black by the end. I'm not, not not looking at that. Teeth freak me out. Sorry, that's a little post nasal there. Hmm. I one of the things that will set me off like personal hygiene wise is if I smell like a cavity you know you know the cavity smell no someone with I've had so so for clarity I go to the dentist now regularly but I didn't for like 12 years yeah so from like 18 to like 30. I just didn't go to the dentist. Yeah. Would you like to know how many cavities I had?

40. One? Oh, are you lucky? I also chewed tobacco in that time. I killed all the bacteria. So they're like, oh, they're like, do you use tobacco? Like, I used to, they're like, oh, oh, good for you. Good for you. I'm like, no, it was chewing.

It was the worst thing you could do to your gums and throat and teeth. Yeah. Your body in general. Chewit tobacco is good for you, dude. I don't know what you're talking. The girls like it. It refills your dead eye in Red Dead. Girls like it.

Oh, yeah, they love it. Girls like sweet tobacco. The, I know what the... If you're a girl, call in and tell me what you're... You know, if you're a lady, call in and tell us how much you love Chewad Tobacco. All right. 267, 3, 717, 17, 27, 28. Not skull because skulls are cops.

no so I you had really bad teeth for a long time and so I know what it's it I know that you can tell when your teeth smell bad when you have cavity smell and it takes more than a little baby cavity right you have to have a pretty nasty one and so it gets in my fucking face and starts I'm like all I want to do is like like bro go to the dentist bro just go just go it's a filling it it doesn't hurt that bad actually doesn't hurt really hurt at all it's just annoying please fucking go to the dentist i know it sucks too because dennis dennis are scam like i got i'm updating my

No. Like, I mean, in the sense that we get paid for it. Well, there's your problem. It's just like

the, not the most DIY show there's ever been, but it's up there with being just aggressively DIY. As you're like filling in the notes about 10 minutes before the fucking podcast is due to record. I've been in there. I've been doing the notes. Yeah. I know how it works. I've seen

how the sausage was made. There's a lot of Chronic Waste and Disease in the podcast, the podcasting world. Yeah. Chronic potting disease. Gross. Oh, man. Oh, I just, you know what I want to check real quick? How handsome you are?

Like, like, it takes a lot to get me upset. and when I'm like not not with when I'm like not talking and very curt with the kids they're like damn like I actually made him mad and he's I'm not getting like a reaction I don't know how to deal with this because I'm used to making my mom mad and then she yells at me and I get like attention this guy is just ignoring me right and you know fuck what do I do so AMD figured out how to do uh updates live on air

but Nvidia every time I updated my Nvidia driver would crash because I got a new graphics card AMD for life Red wine baby They are the they are the people's graphics cards

yeah. I don't know, dude. I just like, I get real tired of like, I got a buddy who will remain named. I don't think it listens to the show. It was like, yeah,

I'm not buying a switch to because like you don't own your own games, which like you don't on Steam either, which sucks in as anti-consumer, but like that is where we live. Get your games on GOJ, not on Steam. And, like,

I was like, Yeah, but like you have an Nvidia graphics card. It's like, well, that's different. I was like, it's not fucking different. Like, well, I will say about Steam is like, I have games that are, I bought so long ago. And they're delisted from the store, but I can still download them. Yeah. Steam, a lot of people hated Steam when it first came out.

Yes, they did. And came out with Half-Life Till. Yeah. And that was 2004. man I was there as long as Gabe N is still alive I think we're alright yeah I know he's going to hand it off to his daughter

what's it called GNU Linux New Linux I was forget how to pronounce that I'm going to lose my cred. I'm probably not doing it right either, but I just, I, I, I'm using, I don't know. No, it's, I'm using fucking, uh, dragonfly BSD and everyone can suck my nuts.

There's, there's one that's based on Steam OS. Yeah, I've seen that. Some Bazite or something like that. Yes, that's gotten popular. It, it is, all right here. Oh, Jesus Christ. Fucking Bayside over here. Um, well, extra gravelly with the post nasal.

Anything else to report about the flyers? We only have two messages. today so uh yeah man i mean the power play looked pretty good Travis Kenecki got his

500th career point uh the young kids are looking decent uh Mitch Koff is fun as hell I saw uh oh who's uh oh my god the the the new calibrini on the sharks uh he's their number one pick from last year he did some fancy shit and then didn't score yeah it was it was they got in a goal on their first shot on goal when we had like 12. That was pretty embarrassing. Hmm. The tickets were free courtesy of employer redacted.

Hmm. That's nice. Yeah, I sat in the, I sat in section like 105. It's nice that there's still some companies out there that have the sort of sense of munificence. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to throw some beans out.

Here you go, peasants. I got peasants here. Have some freebies. Um, thanks. Thanks, dad. School districts don't ever do that. No, you get nothing. Social worker.

No, you get nothing. You suck. Um, although we have been getting treats every day. Um, excuse me, they tell you to destroy yourself in shame, which is kind of weird. Yeah, it's a weird treat. Can you just get the, give me the M&Ms without the weird message? Um, all right. man we were full burps today

I liked that one a lot that was pretty good I'm like so I get this weird thing I don't know if I thought about this before where I'll cough hiccup and burp at the same time it's and it's like a vicious cycle

it's kind of sexy honestly oh do you want to save Michigan for last yeah I think we should all right let's talk about the birds they lost again what the fuck dude that was a pathetic game we went to overtime i did see somebody uh if they lose again

leom's head will just do that and i was like yeah yeah this yeah fuck you that was really good but also fuck you uh we we really shit the fucking bad we need to fire everybody everybody everybody cut jalen cut a jrown cut devonte smith cut lane cut lane johnson bring back jay and Kelsey and cut him again. Yeah. I'm going to, I'm going to break down some, some takes here.

Okay. I'm here to respond to them. All right. And it's probably, probably not a crazy take. All right. If you're going to bitch, go ahead. Go ahead. If you're going to bitch, about not getting looks your way.

And then when you finally get some dimes, You drop it, yeah. And you drop it several, like four drops, four key drops. Yep. I don't want to hear fucking shit. Yep. I don't want to hear shit.

And Jalen Hertz was, was, it could have been a Detmer-like performance, right? But instead, he had to slang the shit. And he was off through four picks. It was a fumble, too, right? Yep. Two turnovers on the same play, baby. Yeah. It was quite embarrassing.

At least Seekwon got some yards, but missed field goal. I think Elliot's cooked. He's been missed some more or more. Yeah. But AJ Brown, there's a couple touchdowns. And then there was a couple drive-killing penalties. penalties that brought back shit

this was the game that we lost because the defense kept us in it yep as they've been doing all year and this yeah no more just Petolo gone

you know what I think we might be at the point I think if we lose to the Raiders or the commanders we rescind the apology letter yeah if we lose to the It's Syriani. Yeah.

Yeah. I fire Siriani. Because I think it's clear that he really relies on his coordinators. He's just a vibes coach. Yes. Yes. And more than like a, hey, how are you feeling today, guys? Bad, Nick.

How are you? And he's. Yeah. And yeah, it's nice that he asks how you guys doing? How are you feeling, man? Like, great. I like that. That's good.

But I'm sure we can get someone to do that too. We could do that. Yeah. Yeah. Eagles, reach Howie. You got our numbers. Reach out. I'll definitely be like, hey, guys.

Dude, what's up, man? Check it in. I'm just here to check in. Make sure you guys are feeling good. Your head's in the right space. What we got? You know, AJ, you need any rematerial? I got some shit, man, that you would like.

I'm going to bring in like Moby Dick. I hate this fucking team, man. It is so. frustrating depressing bad etc started off strong but we had this feeling of like things seem

off yes we did say that yeah and oh hang on I got to back my ass up a little bit yeah go ahead oh I think we were to take a shit good I can't see it so I was like oh maybe he's taking a shit live on

oh yes squeeze it out daddy yeah I'm gonna have to post that picture on the on the on the Discord, the spot in Microsoft Flight Simulator, the very spot where I shit my pants.

You're sure, Dan, Tom. Yeah. It is insane. I was fucking around with it going on a little tangier. I was going finding pictures I took in Ireland and then taking the same spot in Flight Simulator and it

is fucked. The atmosphere is so, like, well done. It's like spot on. It's insane how good looking that that game is. But anyway, yeah, so we're playing the Raiders and the commies twice. I think what, the bills in between? I can understand losing to the bills, but we cannot lose to the Raiders sort of the Combin. No, no, not commies, to the fucking commanders twice. Uh-uh.

Uh-uh. We shouldn't even lose once to the commanders. They suck. We're going to lose twice. We're actually in a risk of, yeah. Position to lose the vision if we get this free fall. Good. Hopefully that,

hopefully they fire Siriani and he takes Kevin Petula with him because the guy obviously can't do his fucking job. And I was, AJ Brown can't catch. Yeah. Just, I want to be wrong, man. I want to be wrong.

You cannot have swagger like that if you can't back it up. And obviously, AJ Brown is a talented wide receiver. But I don't know what the fuck. Why the fuck he dropped that touchdown pass? Nope, exactly. No. Devonto's still, I love that that man fights for every fucking inch.

Yeah. He's, he, the Slim Reaper, baby. His, his, I feel really bad for what his brain's going to look like. He gets thrown around. He gets thrown around hard. He's like, he's like made out of fucking, like, rubber, cardboard. Yeah. Yeah.

He just, he just bends. He's like ragdalls. You guys played you guys played painkiller, right? You remember that shooter that people fly did, like 2004? Yeah. Yeah, real Gary's mod physics. Gravity gun. I remember when I was like playing Gary's mod and just spawning all of like the creepy head crabs and freaking myself out.

That's how I played. We don't go to Ravenholm in 2004. Yeah. I get, I get, I get, I get, I get to make a confession. Did you never finish Half Life 2? No, I did be Half Life 2. Okay. But I did a lot of, um, scouting ahead with the camera, because I'm a bitch when it comes to

jump scars and games. That's fine. I'm a bitch. That's fine. I, uh, when I play Skyrim. Yeah. or any like Bethesite type game when I go into a dungeon third person yeah yep yep uh and nobody to sink it up on Tom mm-mm I'm not fuck no fuck that I I hate dungeons in

in in the Elder Scrolls games because I love the Elder Scrolls games um but uh no I hate the dungeons in them I don't know why um I hate zombies it's gonna say I like zombies there's a there's a mod or like one of the creation club things for Skyrim that has like a zombie hoard, I make sure that's disabled. Yeah. So I don't actually trigger it. Oh yeah. So like this, the Oblivion remastered.

I was, I turned the, I download and delete it because I hit Oblivion sucks, but the zombies in the, in the opening dungeon. I just, uh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, hit a little little, uh, little TCL. Scroll around.

Click on the zombie kill or disabled or whatever disabled they'll just delete it I think I just put kill and yeah it's like no I'm a little bitch I don't want zombies in my fucking face I want to have fun I want to be they

they get I don't know they're a little scary you're scary you're not it could be scary it's okay yeah it's all right no I just hate jump scares I don't I don't mind a creepy atmosphere

I just don't like jump scares I so I prefer in like my my horror movies I don't like jump scares either I much prefer the like sense of creeping dread yes yeah the claustrophobia that's why I like the shining I think the shining is probably the or example like the platonic ideal I should say of of my type of horror movie there is one jump scare in like the scare reveal right yeah it's mostly all just atmosphere and oh it's creepy that Yeah. All right. You want to talk about Sixers? I don't know anything about the Sixers right now. I haven't watched the Sixers yet. The Sixers are doing all right, right?

Is Paul Georgia alive? I don't know. I think he did play a game. Wow. What's their stand? We're 13. 10. Yeah.

We're six in the east. Okay. And then I need to check tempo basketball. Bad. Are they bad? Five and five. The men's are five and five women's. How are they?

Oh, four or five. Okay, great. They want to trade for Dionne Williamson, apparently. Do we? Apparently. Oh, okay. Who are we going to trade from?

I don't know. Not Maxie. No, it would be Tyreys Maxie would clearly be John Bid and Paul George maybe They don't want they don't want Joel in Bid George for Williamson Plus salary for the other as the most likely framework

Between the Sixers and the Pelicans Uh Okay I love getting another guy who's hurt half the year Yeah I love this team I don't think we're going to trade for Zion Williamson What a boss that career has been man Yeah that sucks

It's injury man Then you break his like foot or something like that. Right now he has a right hip, hip, deputter strain, Opie Silight indefinitely. Yeah.

It's a shame because genuine genuinely talented, like gifted athlete, talented. Yeah. Fun as hell at Duke, fun as hell at high school. But yeah.

It is what it is. Yeah. That's just sucks. Well, we've, we've talked about the, uh, hell of kids, malfeasance.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. Um, let's, oops, I close the thing. Let's, let's talk some Phillies, because we actually have, we have good news. Guess who's back? Kyle Schrober's back.

Kyle Schrober's back. Five years. Was 150? 150 mil. Only 15 mil next year. So helping out there with the luxury tax space. you had to bring them back there was

if you didn't bring Shwerber back like you're not like he's like the core guy especially since he's the clubhouse guy right yeah he's the guy holding it together by all accounts yeah by all accounts decent guy home run hitter

hey five year contract I think you earned that is he going to hit as many home runs like that every year probably not yes yes he is He's going to get better. He's just going to get better. I mean, his batting average has gone up.

And he's not, he's no longer. Getting 1, 180 with OPS. 170 with like an OPS of a thousand, you know, because this is the one base percentage is so high. No, two true outcomes of baseball, baby. Two true outcomes.

Home run or strikeout. That's it. I hit for power. He, he, he, he, Speaking of the platonic ideals earlier, man,

he's got like the platonic ideal swing. He just, yeah. Ah, just, and he's so handsome and his butt is really just firm. I imagine it's firm. I haven't gotten the chance.

No, I'm glad we got to get it. This is solidified my decision. I will be getting a Scherber powder blue before the, I have a shoreber powder blow before the, I bought it when it was during his four home run game. I was at, at that game.

And when he hit number four, I was like, all right, more people are throwing a perfect game. All right, time to, time to get the Schwerber jersey.

And Zach has a picture of, of him that I took, of him slamming down both Schwarber jerseys because we both bought one. The incident happened on the counter. And then we went to the bar. It was great. Hell yeah.

So much fun. I can't wait for basically back. The pain that subsided. We have to get, we have to get Stephen on to talk about, once once all the deals have, been done. Yeah, we're talking, they're talking to Rheumuto.

They offered him a two-year deal, is the rumor. Probably will come back. Schwerber's kind of been lobbying for him to come back. Best catcher in the market. Yeah. There's not really anyone else. It's not a clear upgrade path, right? Yeah.

I think you're just going to have to do that and then try and figure something out the next two years, someone to come up behind them. You know, we are going to have ABS with the challenge, the automatic balls and strike system next year. So framing's not going to really matter anymore. And so that's going to also throw a wrinkle on it. And maybe you don't want a new guy while that's going on. But, yeah. Also, I mean, our pitching staff is really good.

And, you know, he's a decent game color. He's not the best, but he's a decent one. The, I don't know if Rangers coming back. I hope he does. I also hope he does. We'll have Zach Wheeler back. We'll have Luzardo. We'll have Sanchez.

Probably. And then Noel, obviously. I think Noel is your number five at this point, number four or five. If Painter comes up, if he dominates the spring training, that's great. If he's shaky, move him in July. yeah that's yeah so I but you know what's even better hey listen we're gonna run it back again but we won that we won the division twice and had two 90 twice in a row

we had 295 win seasons we're living in the Phillies era right now but you know what's what's it's fun to enjoy but you never we don't know how this is going to end Edwin Diaz went to the Dodgers Pete Alonzo to the Balmer Orioles so the Mets are looking

I saw what was the email I saw from the Tivine Pitches guys are friends of the show I was I was reveling in their misery oh yeah because Pete Alonzo is going to the O's for some reason because they didn't even offer them. The Mets didn't even offer them anything.

Yeah. That's crazy. Where is? Oh, tipping pitches. The five stages of grief for Pete Alonzo, Edwin Diaz. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Yeah. Sorry. I'm really sorry. But, uh, yeah, sucks to suck. All right. Um, so what pitchers catch report? Let's see. Let's look at the countdown. spring training countdown 60 days two months

hooray yeah February 10th I can't wait you can't wait you know we're going to believe in them all the way

what's the most head scratching move all right no one said no one said resigning Kyle Shoreber okay wait I've written ESPN

and I was saying what's your favorite move of the season. I love Baltimore going for it. Okay. Hey, sure, why not? Sure, why not? Baseball is at least more fun with the Orioles are good. Yeah. Nah, we, we love our little, little brothers down in the, down Baltimore. Ballmore. Um, I talk about Michigan. In a second. I do, I do want to say, I do want to say, um, it, I don't think we're going to pull a big trade, but yeah, I think, they're going to try and get Bader back

they're going to try and apparently Bader's been like liking all the Philly stuff so I think he wants to come back and I think he's a fun guy he's a fun guy to have but I don't they're going to get rid of Casty

yeah at some point maybe not maybe not now but I think I think he's done and they extended Rob Thompson yeah until 2027 so I don't think Cassie's long for this world.

That house is cursed. I don't think the, because he lives in Ben Simmons' old house. Yeah. So I can't wait. Yeah, I can't wait to find out who moves in there after Cassie leaves. I don't, I just want to say like this piece on Cassie that we've talked about before. I don't think he's an asshole for being kind of like, man, I don't like talking to the media. I don't like dumb questions.

That's fine. it does seem like a kind of an asshole for being a dickhead to his coach because you have not put up yeah yeah exactly yeah and uh his outfielding he makes some of these like cool looking snags and it's like yeah because you were you're tall and you can kind of make a little show i've done that before i've you do that sometimes right you can put a little slide into your catch. You didn't need the slide for that. No, you didn't.

But it looks sick. So, yeah. Coaches and I test guys. Hey, there's no way I was reaching that ball, but I dove for it. Oh, yeah, good, good also, good hustle, man. You know, they've, uncles love it. They love it. Fucking, the uncles are, are, that's, that's what they got.

And I see you say, so anyway, that's it for the Phillies. We'll talk more as we get closer to the season. I see here, go Navy beat Army, second it. Do not add us. It is purely based on arbitrary bullshit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the one day a year we can be like dumb about this shit. Go Navy beat Army.

Go Navy beat Army. That's my response. Listen, my sister-in-law's dad is an admiral. I have to root for Navy. I mean, Coast Guard, shit, I got a, I got a roof for, I got a roof for it, plus some family in the Marines, I got a, I got a roof. I have family in the Marines and, uh, uh, fuck almighty. Uh, my granddad was in the Navy, so go Navy beat Army.

Yeah. Well, that's a, uh, it's a large head. Yeah, he has to get his baseball cap's costume made because they don't fit them in the stores. Oh, hell yes. Yes, yes, because they only go up. They go up to seven and three quarters. That's the highest they go. I wear seven and seven, eights.

Yeah. Oh, seven, seven, eights. That's the highest they go. That's the highest they go. That's, and it barely fits on my head. And he, uh, he, he, he played center at Navy. Okay, that makes sense. He has a truck of a human being.

I can, I believe that. Nice guy. All right. Yeah, I mean, I've, I've, I've met my share of admirals. They all, they all know how to be a politician when you get to the, flag rank you kind of have to be a little you gotta be pretty nice I mean you could be asshole but you know interpersonally you could be yeah nice guy he's he's taking me to army Navy in a couple years and apparently there's he doesn't really give a shit about the rank but

his favorite thing to do is just stand there while people salute him and like oh like stand there for a painful amount of time just everyone gets real uncomfortable uh awesome yeah just not return it they're old it yeah he's just like he's like how long can I make people do this. Oh, that's funny. It's not, but go Davey. It kind of. It kind of is.

All right. Let's talk about Michigan. Oh, boy. Some shit has happened. Yeah. Don't buy plan B for your side piece and then have it delivered to your office and then possibly go to her house, threaten to kill her, hold a knife to your own throat, and then wait for the cops to show up.

I think it's maybe what happened. Nobody really seems to. know for sure. Don't do any of that. No. So Sharon Moore, the former head coach of Michigan. They've now also fired the athletic director whose name I don't care about. I mean, honestly, after the cheating thing, you didn't fire them. Yeah. No. Like Michigan may be go blue. So, so I mean, Michigan is being punished by God for their for their sins. I mean, this is pretty standard stuff. He's still in jail. So Sharon Brown was was arrested. He was fired. um all right did he do the did he do the knife thing before or after he got fired i think uh i don't

i buddy i don't know okay so hold on oh biff pogey's in uh in command now yeah you can't you can't take that man down uh so i'm looking at maybe i should get in the americans he was after he got fired so after he got fired For an inappropriate relationship with a assistant, right? He, hold on, sorry. Police were called to investigate reports of alleged assault. This article does have any info. Here's a TMZ article if you want.

Oh, here we go. It's going to have all the, all the, uh. Look, man. We, you know, they have the dispatch audio too, if you want. on that. Has, oh, the dispatch audio woman claiming he attacked her

home after stalking for months. What the fuck? All right, let me actually find a straight news too. Because this is, this is a wild fucking story.

I got Detroit free press. So he was fired on Wednesday, December 10th. It's the 11th as we're recording this after he had

inappropriate relations with a staffer. Wednesday evening was reported that saline, saline, I don't know how you say. Salon police

had detained more earlier that day. He was transferred to Pittsville Township and eventually, though, Washingtonal County jail. He was being held for an assault investigation. He's still in jail. He's waning arraignment. So, it's real bad.

All right. So they had been made aware before Wednesday that he had been dealing mental health issues to spike that. They fired him without HR or security in the room. Later, that evening more was detained and eventually arrested. and booked. This is still from the jury free press. They're saying there was rumors going around the school before he got fired about a potential

scandal. I'm trying to find the actual information on the assault. Well, no, the one that Matt sent to the chat had info. So let me see. Yeah. So this was on Twitter. From Rob Reinhart, is that a legit guy? Do we know if he's legit?

I think so, yeah. During arguing with his wife, more threatened to kill himself. He then drove into and broke into the home of his assistant where he held a knife to his own throat and threatened to kill both himself and the staffer. He was then intercepted at a local church after his wife provided his phone's location to the authorities. He's non-predictive custody. Damn, man, if that is true, that's real bad. That's real bad. That's, and that's clearly, clearly mental health issues.

Understandably, when your marriage is going to get destroyed, you're going to lose your job. That's understandable. Hey, I'm going to give just a piece of vice. Don't fuck around. Yeah. Maybe don't do that. If you're going to fuck around, say, hey, I don't have a plan B. Don't have plan

be delivered to your office is my advice. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, listen, find a, find a lady who's poly.

You can, doesn't give a shit. Like, sure. I don't want to tell you, man. Also, you should be fucking people

that are underneath you. No, that's bad. That's not ethical. I'm sorry. No, it's bad. It's not 1960 anymore.

Can't just do that. Can't just do that. Ah. Um, Yeah, it's a shit. Well, more shit will come out as this as this goes through. There is like a bit of things are up in the air with with what's going on. So I guess we'll find out when he goes to a judge.

We'll see what he's actually charged with and all that kind of stuff. Right. Read the police report. But yeah, that shit is fucking wild, man. how how you go from just getting fired to to getting arrested um yeah if i was fired i'm not gonna get arrested i can tell you no i'm gonna go one for one yeah i'm not going to it for two i'm i don't need to take me any more else that day i've been fired once yeah i've been fired once i think i've been fired a couple times actually no just one i was i was not scheduled again

once that was like my first job right but no one actually like fired me Right. And then, yeah, when I got fired, it was, I was sad, but also it was a good thing because that job was horrible. There you go. Yeah. That's actually what spurred me to fucking get my teaching shirt. It can't be working this.

Yeah. Yeah, fuck this. I have a fucking bachelor's degree. I can't be fucking doing $11 an hour. Right. That makes sense. Yeah. All right.

We don't have too much today. we do have one DM so hi it's mk not n you were right the first time still they them never calling in again I sound like a child in my car phone thing but I'm glad you liked the fight song oh no you didn't sound bad my dad spent his whole life in Cinty so I've known it by heart since I was a child forgot to mention but I had a thought on hockey stats discussion goals over shots on goal may not be the best that because in my understanding is that anything, quote, un-goal, unquote, means it would go in if it wasn't blocked or deflected. So goals over shots on goal ends up being a more real reflection of the goalies a player

has faced, not their scoring ability. Personally, I like OPS for baseball, which for hockey would maybe be goals plus shots on goals slash over-game minutes or minutes with the puck and possession. I don't think there's a good analog for at-bats in time sports, but it's interesting. for sure. Anyways, fuck distillers, fuck ice,

fuck Penn State in solidarity forever. What do you think about that? Yeah, I don't think there's a good analog, unfortunately. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, baseball is, it's hard to carry those things. You know, it's funny, the company that does out of the park baseball also does a hockey sim.

Well, that sounds like fun. I wonder, so what I wonder is what is the goalie, Or what's the stat you used to be like, all right, this guy's fucking a scoring machine. Or like he's like really efficient.

Like OPS, like Moneyball started when they were like when they started thinking about OBP over on base percentage over a batting average. So I wonder what that stat is in hockey. Like the not the obvious, not the not the one the uncles love, but the one that the stat heads like, no, this is. a real indicator of a quality guy. It's like a pitcher. ERA, I mean, it's something, but WIP

is a little better, or ERA plus or, uh, what's the one? Wobba? No, wait. Ex-Wobber or something. No, it's not Wobba. That's on base. Hold on. There's

FIP, fielding independent pitching. Oh, yes. Yeah. And there's XFIP too. Yeah. So I do like OPS is like my go-to for baseball. OPS Plus, you just normalize it. So, but yeah.

So thanks, thanks, M.K. I appreciate it. All right. And then we have, we have Wookie. Who I didn't upload. Other boy. Yeah. All right.

Hey, Tom. Hey, Lynn. This first thing, Lucky calling in with another Rain of All update. Calling in on Monday, December 8th. Drown in the Jeff Bezos'

shit for the U.S. Postal Service as I head out the route with cold-ass fucking rain. Some updates there. Tim Brown's The Arena League, which plays a 7-on-7 style, which is really unique. They don't really use linemen there. Really the only ineligible person on field is the center.

And they don't know any kick in there. They do a throw-off there so they can play in some smaller arena setups there, such as ice rinks and such. they announced their second expansion team for 2026 in Grand Island Nebraska, which is in the middle of a fuck-ass nowhere in the center.

Yeah, that sounds like it's really all fucking nowhere. It's on Grand Island there was no water whatsoever in the area and there's a big ass truck stop that has a museum there. They used to have an IFL team called the Nebraska Danger during the team's announcement

there in the in the Heartland Events Center, I think it's what the arena's called there. They announce that they're doing a name-a-team contest like they do with all their teams. And Tim Brown pretty much said, and Shadow Commissioner Tommy Vanazito there, the Benazito Sports Group, pretty much confirmed that by far the lead in name submitted so far is Nebraska Danger. So maybe we get to see a familiar name in Nebraska. The middle of Nebraska. Elsewhile, the rest of the sports thing pretty quiet as the AF1 announced that they have a partnership with

a gift for their uniforms for 2026. And the international arena league, which... The international arena? How international is it? It's been 12 teams from the United States, Canada, in several European countries, such as, uh, fucking Scotland and Germany. How?

Um, I don't know how they plan on fucking doing this, because they barely have staff outside of a couple of the American teams, specifically the Las Vegas Rockers and the Cincinnati players. Um, they did announce almost their team games, but, uh, yeah, I don't know how that's got to work. Anyways, three minutes is running out. See you guys later. Fuck everybody in general.

Uh, first man will be. Uh, off the go, uh, the shadow center, I guess, or whatever. Okay. All right. Yeah. Uh, Rina will never stop being messy. No. No.

I do really love it. It's insanity. Um, all right. Well, that's, that's it. We were a little, little, after we cleared out the mailbag, it's, you know, we're just rattling shit around. There's not, not too much. Uh, so, so we're going to.
