He is actually going to eject a fan. Because bad things happen in Philadelphia, bad things. The fan jumped into the penalty box area. Joy it is to come to Philadelphia and stand here and dodge an ice ball. We, the Dallas Cowboys, have assessed Nick John Cooney. And we're dead. We're dead. We are in the helping professions, and therefore morons.

I've had a tough week at work, easing back into it after the vacation. Not that I'm complaining about the vacation. How are you, Tom? I can't complain about work, honestly. It's been a good year so far. Good. So I can't complain too much. There's nothing really else to complain about.

Nothing going on in anything that we know no we we have we have reasons to be sad today though don't we yeah yeah i guess we do uh we're that fucking sucks dude it was so fucking painful to watch yeah i guess we'll just let's just do the intro and we'll get right into it yeah this is real high energy hello welcome to your thousand losses happy hundred episodes liam we got a great present for our hundredth episode yeah it's misery misery another welcome to your hundredth episode of 10,000 Losses, the only Philadelphia sports podcast that exists.

was on Rudy with Jordan for bring him young money it was good it was good it was a good one I had a couple people tell me it was fun and I have had some people say how much they're looking forward to

football part three which we will be working it's hard to get Jordan sickos Jordan is a pretty busy man he's a busy dude especially right now so we will try. If not, we will

find something else. We will be our own Sickos Committee. Yes. Sickos. Sicktoes. Boo. Sicktoes is a good stripper name. Sicktoes? Sicktoes Committee. Someone posted on the Philly Reddit.

I don't like that. You've got to stop going on Reddit, Mike. I know. The title of the post was Nocturnal Garbage. Yeah. And I thought that was a really good name for a metal band. That's pretty good. Nocturnal Garbage. Like a death metal band.

Turtle Garbage. Yeah. Nocturnal Garbage. Yeah. So, I mean, we sound really sad and really haven't said why. Fucking Phillies. The fucking Phillies. The fucking Phillies. Fucking horrible.

Yeah, so we're recording this on the 10th of October. A beautiful, crisp fall day. Really feels autumnal. And you would love to have some more fall baseball to watch, right, Liam? I would, but I can't have shit in this house, so it doesn't fucking matter. No, because the Phillies lost their last game 4-1 to the Mets. They rolled over and died like a dog. It was fucking horrible.

They died like a dog. Like a dog. Like nothing. Just fucking pathetic, dude. No fight, no grit, no nothing. Just sat the fuck down. Just early tea time tomorrow shit.

We also lost the series in four games. The NLDS to the Mets. Just a real pathetic showing because there were plenty of opportunities. Plenty of opportunities to win games. We wasted a phenomenal Wheer start in game one. Yep. Game two was a great game. It was an anxiety-ducing game, but it was a great game.

It was two teams exchanging body blows the entire match in a walk-off win. Yep. And then just... And then nothing. And then fucking nothing nothing just nothing excruciating bullshit i mean guys looking a lot guys who are getting paid a lot of money i mean it's not our money but guys who are good at their job supposedly not not showing up supposedly good at their jobs i mean i don't. I don't know what to even say.

Just some asinine strategy at the plate. Yeah, Topper fucking blew this one. He chose not to manage in a way that was in contact with reality. I don't understand why in game four, why it took like the sixth inning of game four for like the Phillies to take a few pitches. Right. They realized that our deal is being aggressive and jumping on pitches.

So they just throw this dirt, just shit on the outside of the plate. And every single player fell for it. Bit, bit, bit, bit, bit.

It was fucking horrible. Why are you sitting off speed on a three and over three one count? Uh, what, what are you, you should be sitting fastball or fucking taking right you're trying to get on base oh they had a what i can only describe as a a incredible meltdown alec bohm regressed to the i fucking hate it here yeah and he hit he was hitting a hundred in the series

that's not good enough and And I will say to his... Nope. He did get the bat on the ball, but he got bad-bipped. So sometimes shit doesn't work. And I know that he was getting frustrated, but that shouldn't start affecting your fielding. But that's baseball, dude.

Yeah, it does suck. But it shouldn't be all on him. It's everybody. It is everybody. It's the bullpen. It does suck, but it shouldn't be all on him. It's everybody. It is everybody. It's the bullpen. It's the coaching. It's Nola having a fucking meltdown right on time. It's the whole fucking team, to quote Jason Kelsey. The only guy who fucking showed up was fucking Ranger.

Ranger and Wheeler. Those guys showed up. Ranger Suarez did his level best. People were saying, like, oh, it's a bad start. That dude fucking pulled out some heroics. I don't know how he did it. That dude is a fuck. Like I was saying, he would have held the line at Rourke's Drift.

He would have held the line at Thermopylae. He would have held the line at the Hastings. Ranger Suarez is what a fucking just stolen. What a dude. He's a dude. And I know he had a shitty second half of the year. I get that. But that dude showed up despite having control issues,

despite letting so many goddamn men on base and didn't give up a fucking run. Yeah. Battled, battled, battled, battled. And yeah, just then Jeff Hoffman, who's been a stud all year, can't. Nope. Can't, suddenly can't control. Right.

I mean. What is there to say, right? I don't know. That's, you know, and then Estevez comes in and just grooves a fucking middle, middle fastball to get for a grand slam. Yep. And that was it. And the momentum was on the Mets. Yep.

The emotion was on the Mets. You sort of knew it was coming, right? Like that's how I felt. I said three weeks ago, I said, I don't want to play the Mets. I said, they've had our number all year i want to see the brewers or the braves either of those two teams we beat we sweep the brewers yeah sweep the brewers yeah i i we might sweep the fucking braves i i they the fucking mets that just and god damn i hate to see them fucking happy i i don't want brandon nimmo to ever experience joy no ever what a what a like like an asshole i don't even know what to say and in

this side with him him and remuto chirping at each other i was like what is this like january 6th like deciding like yeah right who's who's gonna hit yeah who's gonna fucking break the door down first like they're both fucking shitheads yeah i oh jt had a fucking melt that it was just meltdown he didn't he didn't show up i mean he didn't show up trey turner kind of did i don't really know what to say about trey turner uh he didn't show up in game in. Schwarber tried, but wasn't. Tried, I guess. But like, I don't know, dude. I keep having this.

Do you remember the 08 regression after we won the World Series? Mm-hmm. What does this feel like to you? Yeah, it feels like that because that sort of thing. And like, I mean, you got some guys on some long-term deals. You're not going to blow the team up. Right, right, right. People are like, oh to blow the team up. Right, right, right. People are like, oh, blow the team up.

I'm like, we can't. No, we still have a window. These guys are still, we got a couple years left. But it's just, I don't, you can have the best team in the world, but they just don't show up in the playoffs. I don't know if the bye fucked them up. They weren't playing well in the last half of the year obviously they they that would that june july stonk after the all-star break they stunk then

they picked up a little bit but then they were mediocre there at the at the last last stretch and i don't i i is it because they don't have the underdog sort of thing going on they they wanted the vision like i don't i really don't sort of thing going on? They won the division. I really don't give a shit. I don't care about the division. I care about a World Series. I care about, and I'm quoting directly here, getting my fucking trophy back. Yeah, and you know, John Milton, if you want to keep fucking spending money.

Stupid money like you said, yeah. All right, go get Soto. Yeah, that's supposedly the plan. And, you know, I mean, obviously we won't have Taiwan, but he didn't have any impact on the series. I get some contact guys. I don't know if it's like they need to move on from Kevin Long. Right. Just, I wish I knew like hey listen when it's it's three one and you're

swinging at a change up you know two feet off the zone don't were you told but did you have the green light on that pitch right were you fooled that badly did you just go rogue? I don't fucking know. And they were pitching against fucking Jose Quintana. Who sucks. Dude, he's a year younger than me. He's 30 fucking five. This dude was cooked like 10 years ago. Yeah. What the fuck?

And suddenly he's the second company of Sandy Koufax, I know. How did these, like, the Mets did with this, they played better. They, you know, and maybe this prophecy is that any of the team that beats the Brewers is the team that wins the World Series or whatever. We're not going to fucking stop hearing it from the Mets fans. Nope. Never, ever, dude. The Grimace thing is stupid. The OMG thing is stupid.

The Rally Pumpkin is kind of of cute i don't mind that but yeah i'm so sick of like okay shut up it's a mcdonald's plant right like it has to be it's a fucking mcdonald's thing i don't give a shit i because you you already have a mascot actually you have a really good mascot that we're both really big fans of. Two mascots, yeah. As we've said, as we've unfortunately made clear. Yes, on that, the most unhinged episode we've ever done, the bonus episode about mascot fuckability.

If you haven't listened to that, patreon.com says 10,000 losses. We have to have them on again. They're so much fun. But no, the I mean, I just I hate this giving up thing and I hate I hate there's

I do want to look inward towards some Philly sports fans because one, I absolutely hate the all right, we'll just might as well just throw in the towel now attitude. Yep. I don't know about you. Maybe this is my weird fucking ethics or I read too much fantasy.

I read too much fucking early medieval poems. But dude, don't go out in a blaze of glory, dude. Yeah, right. I was like, you know what? At least the only comforting thing to me was, at least it was Kyle Strober swinging for swinging. Yeah. I was like, I mean, it sucked. He was a few seconds away from tying that game up. Yeah.

If he had swung a little earlier in that previous pitch that went foul. Yep. Yep. No, wait. Swung a little earlier in that previous pitch that went foul. Yep. Yep. No, wait. Swung a little later. Swung. Swing, swing, swung. Swing, swing, swung.

This fucking sucks, dude. Yeah. And I was getting motivated. I was looking up. I was literally watching the clip from the two towers where he's like, ride out with me for death and glory. If we will have an end let us make it such an end you know like say christmas day shit yeah yes yeah dude i want i i

said on the tipping pitch of slack i want you want to you want to lose in a way that the amana marth makes a song about you right Right. That's what you want. That's the shit that gets people fired. You can say, at least we fought the good fight. But I don't feel that way. Right. So that first kind of Philly's fan is like, I might as well give up.

I'm done with that. Two. The, I knew they were going to lose. Fuck off. From the very beginning. You just want to be right yeah you just want to be right at the fucking bar i told you i fucking told you these guys weren't gonna we're gonna fucking whatever i don't care i don't give a shit i would i root for this team i want them to win yeah i have paid way too much money to like not be happy for this team when they do well.

The same way I feel about the Birds. I get pissed off because I care so much. Yeah. I don't care about being right. Maybe it is dumb guys who are insecure and they do care about being right. Maybe that might be part of that. But I don't care about it. And then, you know, I just... Stop saying shit. Like but I don't care about it. And then, you know, I just stopped saying shit like, I don't know,

like, just heaping the blame all on one person, because it's not one person. The whole fucking team failed. And you're just talking about Topper. But you can blame Topper as much as you want, but what did Charlie Emanuel said right before he got fired? He's like, what can I do if the guys ain't hitting?

Right. If the guys aren't hitting, if the pitchers aren't pitching, he can only do so much. You don't fucking know either. He put... Were there decisions in that game that I had questioned? Yes. I think the double clutch weird thing that you take bow and mount and you put so-so in.

You say, you know what? You got the yips. I can't. you're a fucking liability late in the game too when you have when it was still when it's still tied up or a still still a one nothing game a one run

game I'm I'm taking bow mount not putting a defensive replacement in I had a lot of the I had I have questions about how the the the bottom of the lineup was put together

me too and I think he gives it gives his hitters too long a leash yeah I think I have questions about how the bottom of the lineup was put together. Me too. I think it gives his hitters too long a leash. Yeah. And I think – but he put the right pitcher – I don't think he put the wrong pitchers in. You're supposed to put your studs in certain times. Hoffman's supposed to be your stud. Esavet's supposed to be your stud. You put them in these situations.

That's what you fucking pay them for. That's what they're there for. That's what they want to be in. Esavet was fucking amped to be your stud. You put them in these situations. That's what you fucking pay them for. That's what they're there for. That's what they want to be in. You think S of S was fucking amped to be in. He wanted that. He wanted to get those guys out. You know, give them the chance, but they fucked up. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Just fucking horrible, dude. I don't know. It had to be the fucking Mets. Of course it did. I guess I'd prefer it to the Braves. Any non-divisional team. Any non-divisional team.

The Dodgers, sure. The fucking Padres, sure. Not the fucking Mets or the Braves. Definitely not the Mets. Right. I don't want to step right up and greet the Mets. I want to nuke the Mets or the Braves. Definitely not the Mets. Right. I don't want to step right up and greet the Mets. I want to nuke the Mets. Like,

like we, we, we've have a longstanding policy that Braves fans are very annoying and we kind of hate them more than Mets fans, but Mets fans are not acting like they've been here before. No. Dude, dude,

nine years ago, nine years ago, you went to the world series. So stop. Um, I don't hear this shit from Royals fans. Who won the World Series nine years ago? They're not bitching and moaning like this.

Right. Fucking embarrassing, dude. Act like you've been there before. So, yeah. I'm going to pull up the bracket right now. Yeah, so the Mets were the first to clinch a division series. I guess the AL staggered off from the NL.

So NL Padres-Dodgers game 5. It's going to be Friday. Excuse me. And as we're recording, it's going to be game 4 for both of the AL teams. The Tigers at the Guardians. Go Tigers, man. Root for the Tigers and root for the Royals the Tigers. I'm rooting for the Royals.

Yeah, I'm rooting for the Royals because Zach Hecht uh, Zach Hecht is a diehard Yankees fan and I want him to be unhappy. Yeah. I think that's fair. Yeah. I would love to see the Royals who like, I like the teams that snuck in and then

I want Detroit or Kansas City. I'm rooting for those two teams right i i if it's if it's mets yankees i don't care about a subway series dude i don't care um i mean i think it'll be enjoyable uh it'll be enjoyable baseball i think but um i hope they both i hope the subway crashes when they're. Yeah. I hope so. A nukes Yankee stadium.

I do not. The last, I do not want Dodgers Yankees. Oh, I don't, I couldn't ever bring myself to give a shit about Dodgers. Not in fucking years. I wouldn't give a shit either.

Fucking Tigers Padres. I'm in on that. That's, that's like a, that's chaos. Tigers Padres is I'm in on that. That's like a chaos. Tigers Padres is just goofy as hell, so I kind of like it. I dig it. I dig it. I kind of

like the Tigers just having one pitcher. Yeah. Just riding it. Who's very good. He's very good. He is. He is. But.

Just like. It's like when you get a goaltender hot in the Stanley Cup playoffs. And you're just like. All right, buddy. It's you or nothing. Get out there, champ. Yeah. No.

Yeah. Just. Please. Just keep it up. Yeah. So. It's. You know. I want to say something, too. About. About. just keep it up. Yeah, so it's you know,

I want to say something too about just the playoffs over all this fucking helmet. The helmet ads. Yes. What the fuck are we doing? I don't know. Can we stop? Please stop. You have all the money already. You have all the money. It's not like the tickets are cheaper because

of it. Right, exactly. Fuck off. Was it Strauss? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not like the tickets are cheaper because of it. Right, exactly. Fuck off. What is it, Strauss? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It fucking sucks, dude. Yeah, it sucks. I don't know where the Phillies go from here. They're, I mean, they're, what, 94, 95? Was it 94?

94, I think. Win team? Yeah. I mean, there's some questions with like, all right, guys like Alec Boehm, you know, kind of think maybe move them,

move them for guys. So maybe some younger guys, I don't know. He's going to want some money in arbitration, which is fine. You know, he deserves, he was all star this year.

I mean, get paid, but, but also fuck you, man. Yeah. I'm done. I'm,

I'm done with the Alec Boehm experiment this daycare bullshit is driving me up the fucking wall you know but you know what Trey Turner he can be a number 8 hitter because he can field and Boehm was doing okay and Trey Turner's fast like getting him on base at the bottom of the lineup would be nice

yeah like get some of these yeah we need some outfielders And then people are They hate Marsh they hate Rojas I don't hate those guys Are they full time starters probably not I like Rojas as like your bench guy

Like your defensive sub Right And your pinch runner If the dude can learn If he can fucking bunt better, he's nasty. Right. I don't know. But we'll see what happens.

I hate the fucking Phillies. Yeah. Fucking hate this team. Which is. Yeah, exactly. Right. Like fucking hate this team. We need we need we need a...

I think we need, like, like, alright, we got Castellanos, we like him because he's, like, this weird, like, standoffish himbo. We like Castellanos because he doesn't like it. Yeah. I mean, these fucking, like, it was so close to having, like, its own iconic little thing. Yeah. Of the, like,

these fucking people immediately, like, saves the games basically by himself. Yeah. Yeah, and you know what? Cassiano fucking showed up. He did. I gotta tell him. Cassie showed up. I, you know, Schwarber's a clubhouse guy. I feel like

I feel like, though, we don't have a lovable goofball. We did. I mean, Stubbs is a little bit He's a backup catcher yeah he's not that that good um i we we need yeah we need there needs to be like i feel like there's not i mean marsh is a good clubhouse guy too i guess he's a goofball but i just feel like uh i don't know let's get maybe we can get rid of some of the white guys you have too many white republican guys we do we have we have the january 6th friend january 6th and friends

let's let's diversify yeah let's diversify a little bit di this bitch yeah let's di this yeah we'll want soda all right there we go uh there we go and he does that we know how we hate the sodaoto shuffle. We'll fucking love it now. Yeah, we'll love it now. Get Juan Soto and Bryce back together. That's a good pairing. They like each other.

They do. Apparently Soto's just an excellent guy. I don't know. Especially the fucking Yankees. When does Castellanos' contract expire? So he's until 2026 yeah he's never leaving

yeah I think we got one more year of Schwarbs too yeah but Estevez is like are we gonna pay

was he a rental are we gonna bring him back I mean maybe we I would like to see him for a year watch he'll

fucking collapse after that I mean he throws nasty he was really good on the Angels. He was. And then what happened? He blew like three saves.

At least we don't have to watch fucking what's his name that I hate. The pitcher. The pitcher I hate. Taiwan? No. Fuck Taiwan. The guy who went to the Orioles. Craig Kimbrell.

Oh, well, yeah, he got DFA'd right before the playoffs, too. He did. It sucks. He fucking sucks. Can we trade Austin Hayes? We gotta trade Austin Hayes, too. Get that fucker off the team. The Pride Night

hater. Get him the fuck off the team. Just, I don't know. I want to save most of the prognosticating for, maybe we'll get Steven back on or something like that, talk about when the pain's not as sharp. It just, I had a bad feeling going into it. I still, I cheered. When Nemo, when Nemo, Ranger struck out Nemo

on that just nasty yeah they see Sinker like oh man I fuck it I was like sit the fuck down I I woke up that cat yeah cats yeah cats ran what the fuck yeah yeah sit the fuck down you run back to the dugout yeah he should have to run back to the dugout when he strikes out because he's a fucking dork. I hate that fucking guy. I hate him so much. I hate baseball, dude. How can you not fucking hate baseball? Yeah. And it's like, you know, but you know, at least the source of anxiety is gone for now. Yeah. Yeah.

Don't worry. We have another one. Yeah. Don't worry. We have another one. You want to talk about the Eagles? No. Yeah.

So they had a bye. Thank God. We're playing the Browns. On Corinne's birthday. So I think the Eagles owe it to her. Yeah. They owe it. They owe it. I had a friend who once tweeted one of the funniest things I've ever seen which was for my birthday, the

Eagles got me disappointment. They do that a lot. They did that a lot um deshaun watson is benched is he so yeah is he yeah oh no he's not i'm sorry oh yeah he is is he uh no no i you misread the same headline I did. Yeah. Okay. I saw it say response to his benching, not the clamoring for his benching. Well, they're not going to bench him. So Jalen Hurts, noted good guy and not creep as far as we know. Yeah. As far as we know.

I mean, he actually seems to be pretty on the level when it comes to he wants to advocate for women. As an all women team. he actually seems to be like pretty on the level when it comes to like, he wants to advocate for women and like, you know, as an all, all women team. Uh, so, and he calls his grandma and I want, I want Jalen hurts to,

to, I, I, what does not that right? I like, it is that, but I need, I need like a thumping Eagles way.

I need like 40, 13. Yeah. They need, they need to run up the score. They need to run up the score. I've said this before, and it's kind of a dickhead opinion, but I'm going to keep it anyway, which is that I firmly

believe that in professional sports, if you don't want to get humiliated, you play to the last fucking buzzer. Maybe a little different in football because the injury risk is so much higher. Yeah. I am a proponent in football because the injury risk is so much higher. Yeah. But like I am kind of I am a proponent of running up the score. I am.

You are. You are a professional athlete. You're a grown adult. If you don't want to get beat by 90, then don't fucking lose by 90. Yeah. I mean, that's that's that's fair. And, you know, I can think like, you know, we can agree to shorten the quarter or something like that. Did you see a few days ago?

I think it was, I forget who it was. It was somebody who was like, I think they were playing Tennessee or maybe Texas and refused to shorten the quarter. Yes. Yeah. Oh, who was that? I think it was. I think they were playing Tennessee. It was like Wake Forest, Tennessee

And they refused to shorten the quarter And they were like I didn't hear no fucking bell No seatbelts, we die like men We die like men, exactly Yeah And I think the Eagles We talked about the

I don't think you were here when we talked about the Bucs Oh Tennessee led Kent State 65-0 at halftime. And Tennessee offered to reduce the second half quarters to use a running clock. Kent State declined. Fuck yeah. I didn't hear no fucking bell. Yeah. If we die, we go to Valhalla.

Yeah, right? Witness me. There's not to make reply. There's not to reason why. There's not to do or die into the valley of death. The 300. The 600. Cannon to the left of them. Cannon to the right of them.

Vollied in thunder. The trooper and then the then that's that's that's how they uh that's how they open the song kent state goes right to hell yeah i know i'll take you take my life but i'll take yours too um what is it you uh hold on let's let's let's do some some some iron maiden lyrics here all right because this is going to make me happy. The Trooper lyrics. I used to know the whole song. That used to be my go-to in fucking karaoke. You'll take my life, but I'll take yours too. You'll fire your musket, but I'll run you through. So when you're waiting for the next attack, you better stand. There's no turning back. Kent State's that kent state you are now the philadelphia phillies yeah exactly congratulations on your promotion yeah or demotion if you make emotion you might be a demotion i know i could you know i i was saying at one point like i'm like if i'm losing this much and like my team my team is is sad, I would be getting them angry in the dugout.

You know what? Garrett Stubbs, you're not going to see. All right, maybe not Garrett Stubbs. Tywon Walker, you're not going to see a fucking inning. Why don't you run out of the bullpen and just close line Brandon Nimmo? Yeah, exactly. And I like Rob Thompson, but the dude needs to show some fire at some point yeah i don't know what he's like like in the clubhouse he's not a he's not an angry

you you don't want the guy who's angry all the time i bet you if he got angry people would listen i need charlie manuel back you feel like you just want him back yeah i think he's earned his retirement though he's so fucking old no he's so's so fucking old. No. He's so... One last job, Charlie. Yeah, just... That's what you would do with Brandon Nimmo's penis. Yeah. Maybe don't, actually. Yeah.

That's an actionable threat. It gets named persons. Yes. Let's harvest Brandon Nimmo's testicles and give them to Charlie. Jesus Christ. Do you see that commercial where Emmitt Smith considers coming out of retirement

and just gets leveled? Just gets trucked. Just gets trucked. I'd like to see that with some baseball players. Just absolutely, just thrown out from left field or a line drive. You can't make it to first base.

No, the A.J. Brown, Devonta Smith being out and Lane Johnson being out was a real, that made for a real hell of a shitty football game to watch. They're all going to be back for Sunday's game is what it looks like. So I think, and plus the Browns suck. The Browns are horrible. So I know we got a the Browns suck. The Browns are horrible. So I know we got a few Browns fans listening.

Sorry, but they do suck. You know that. We know that. Yeah. Lie to you. I want them to stomp on. The next couple of games for the Eagles actually should be wins because you have the Browns Giants.

Hold on. You have Browns Giants Bengals and Jags Those should be wins Should be Yeah And then we have the Cowboys Who's to say

The Cowboys haven't been that good either They're bad I loved that Watching them lose to the Ravens that was one of the highlights of the year so far yeah um i yeah i now we talked about this on the last episode with greg yeah bello check to the birds why not man open the death portal does this mean syria does this mean we got to lose the browns to get rid of Syria I I I

do think it means that frankly I I don't what this sort of consensus we came to is that he's he's got the rest of the year yeah and I don't know I do we want Belichick though yes is he is he the same

I have the sauce I think he still have the sauce? I think he still has the sauce The dude is your fucking evil How is Howie going to handle That sort of meddling? Let him do it, fuck him Man, we're going to have a bunch of white wire receivers Yeah, just dudes

Who should be running their dad's used car dealership But aren't because they're playing professional football Yeah Brayden Covey, you are WR1 Just dudes who should be running their dad's used car dealership but aren't because they're playing professional football. Yeah. Yeah, Brayden Covey, you are WR1. Congratulations. Yeah. I'm sort of optimistic about the Eagles game this Sunday, which was probably a mistake.

Oh, yeah. You're fucking stupid. Yeah. I forgot to put this down on the notes, but Robert Sala got fired. He did. Two days after he was seen sporting

a jacket with the Lebanese flag. I don't think those two are correlated. I think it was that Rogers wanted him gone. But I wouldn't be surprised. You know what I mean? I wonder if that was sort of like alright this is the nail in the coffin sort of thing like we were

already he maybe had a couple more games left but now we're just going to do it I don't know but I mean at least shouts out to like repping the flag especially at the NFL. You're not going to...

They shut down any messaging now ever since the kneeling stuff. They put such a fucking clamp on that now. Right. Yeah. This shit sucks. Yeah, that sucks.

It's a shame because he definitely had one of the more... I mean, he wasn't a great... He didn't have a great record as a coach. No, he was butt. Yeah, maybe he could be Temple's head coach. Yeah, maybe because we can't do any fucking worse than we're doing right now, dude. Let's talk about that shit. Let's talk about the one in five Temple owls.

Butt, butt, butt, butt, butt, butt, butt, cheeks. So I didn't watch this game. No, you didn't. I watched Alabama Vanderbilt. That was a hell of a game. It was a hell of a game. I watched Temple Vandy. Only college football would get you an interview where a quarterback implies he was uh brought into this role by god to beat alabama and then literally about 15 seconds later yell fucking turn into

the microphone that just i mean imagine imagine feeling that level of self-actualization yeah they i think i think that is that is like enlightenment i think he has broken free of the cycle samsara he will he will he will leave he will not be reincarnated on his next after he dies like he's uh just that that was a hell of a game and i know you would rather talk about a great game and a great underdog story i don't know. We gotta talk about the Temple fucking Owls. We gotta talk about the Temple fucking Owls. So, let's paint a picture. Let's use theater of the mind

here. You're a 1-4 football team. It is 4th and 1. You have 3 seconds left. The score is 23 and one. You have three seconds left. The score is 23 to 20. You have one of the best kickers in college football. You do. What do you do?

Me personally? Or let me put on my Temple Owls coaching hat real quick. I run a QB sneak. You run a QB sneak? I run a QB sneak. Now, do you run a QB sneak. You run a QB sneak? I run a QB sneak. Now, do you run a QB sneak? It's your backup. It's Forrest Brock, your backup quarterback. He weighs 170 pounds. Yes, I run with that guy.

How about the athletic freshman that you were using earlier in the game? No, I don't do that. No, no, no, no, no. I wear my tough coaching hat But coach This guy has like 8 fumbles this year

Well what's one more That ball That ball Pops out like a turd My late dog My late dog would run around when she would get crazy she would run around and this once in a while just a turd would like loose it just like fly out of her ass shoot out like a little tiny one and like you know where the fuck did that that's what that reminded running my old dog just loosen a turd because she got she was too excited to run around in circles um

i i'm still mad about this that this is this is when uh this was played the same day that the uh phillies lost game one and i was more mad at this yeah i was more mad at this you why do you not kick the field goal and go into ota give me a reason give me an actual reason because i had some i i actually got pushed back on this uh i i hate to say it like this you play to win the game right like sure that's the, that's all I've got, especially with the kicker. Who's fucking automatic.

If you're going to do this, why did you give it to the quarterback? Why did you try? Cause you're stupid, dude. Why did you not give it to Therese worthy? Who could jump over the pile? Why did you not play fake and do a little,

little dunk? Anything. Why did you give it to Butterfingers Brock? Butterfingers Brock. It's pretty good. Forrest Brock. Let's see how, let's look at his stats.

Forrest Brock, CFB. 900 footballs lost. Okay. How many fumbles does he have this year? Is this a habit on here? Where is it? Five interceptions.

One touchdown pass. Rushing. Is he under rushing? Scrimmage receiving. Scoring. Why did I not have Forrest Fumbles Stats per game ESPN

Rushing Why do I Can I not see fumbles? Why is no one keeping track of quarterback fumbles? I don't know Because they hate us and want us to suffer He's got I think he's got three or four fumbles on the year

He sucks Evan Simon Is definitely the year. He sucks. Evan Simon is definitely the better quarterback. He got sacked seven fucking times previous game, so his shoulder hurts. Mine would too. I played football. My shoulders hurt a lot.

So, look, if you're going to go for the gutsy call, I get it. Which is fine. Give it to the guy who call, I get it. Which is fine. Give it to the guy who's going to do it. Me, I'm a little cautious of that scenario. I'd rather get the OT and then try winning overtime. But if this was just one decision... Oh, I'm sorry. Not only was it a fumble, it was scooped and returned for a fucking like 99 yard touchdown.

Like fucking Yukon. I guess your dad was feeling joy that day. My dad does not feel joy about college football. We beat that out of him. I just, I, this, I stay in trading,

man. I, I don't know. I don't know, man. I... I don't know. I don't know, man. I think this is... Yeah, I... Let's... It has to be the end, right?

Let's make this the end. And I'm feeling bad. Like... Like... Do we even have fucking Temple football in two years?

I know... I know the new temple president is not a football fan. I hope not, right? Put us out of our suffering. Who the fuck am I going to root for? I guess Delaware. I guess Delaware. But

it's fucking... Dude, it fucking dude like it sucks it really sucks um the the it was embarrassing we were it was actually one of the most shared uh that was it was a it was the trending sports video for it for like an hour that's how embarrassing it was. I love Temple. Give it to Tyler Douglas, the freshman. Give it to him. They didn't even let him throw the ball. They brought him in and they just gave him the hand

to the toe. The play calling is really bad. And this team could be coached better I just can you can you fucking decide what you're going to do with this program are you going to are you going to try I don't want to be the bottom of the college football forever yeah

it's funny once yeah can like game day was here like a decade ago dude yeah it's not that long ago we you can do that again I know it's harder with nil i know i know that i get it but well um i'm not sure if you listened to the episode the last episode but we did propose uh that we use civil asset forfeiture to uh seize bill cosby's estate and that's what we use for nil so um it just it just yeah, get someone new in there.

Either jump down to FCS or... Jump down to FCS is my solution. Maybe get that program back in order. Yeah. And, again, like with the Phillies, just free us. Free us of our burdens. Let me be free. I deserve to be free.

Yeah. I just wanted to be like the gladiator man. Just walking through the Elysian Fields. Yeah. No worries in the world. I just want this to be over. I love that we're like six weeks in and we're just like, just fucking kill us. Yeah.

Literally, it's just several times threats of threats of bad of harm self-harm we're texted between us yeah um yeah uh steven very much uh from from batting around i like what he said i'm gonna jump in the river but not the schuylkill because i refuse to die in something named for named by the dutch that's the damn truth, baby. Yeah, absolutely. Fuck that shit. Just please, who do we got? We're playing... Kill us now, man.

Who's next week's? It's... Okay, we're going to lose that game. We got Tulsa. At least we got a win this season. We were both saying we could easily go oh we easily could tulsa ecu two lane florida atlantic utsa north texas all classic big east action right there um i they'd have to win five of the next six to be bull eligible

you imagine they actually fucking pull that off. Rip that off. It'd be Tulane. Yeah, right. It's not happening. It's not happening. It's not happening. Don't you want people to come down for homecoming?

Don't you want... I love that there are this loose collective of people that are just like, yeah, we're Temple football fans and we're all just the dumbest people on the fucking planet there's like the temple king us like I'll be back and like yeah I'm

not rooting for Penn State fuck that I'm not doing it alive or dead but not Penn State I think Penn State could call me up and say listen we've done some thinking about your transcripts. How would you like to come back for a full ride? Hey, you're a 36

year old man. You have your ADHD treated. You could probably finish the meteorology degree. That's a good meteorology school. It's an excellent meteorology school. It's one of the best in the country. What's your bachelor's in? History. You stupid asshole fucking history

it was almost poli sci it was almost history of poli sci dual major oh jesus i know i know i i could do it now because i i know how my brain works if they called me up and said listen but here's the condition we know you got a podcast you got to be a penn state guy now i don't know i don't know if i do that i don't know if i take them on that offer no because it's like joe pon new dude no and we are i liked it like i was i was explaining to somebody when i when i was at penn state because i was like i am so deeply entrenched in my hatred of this school that i physically can't turn it off. Like I was like watching a car accident.

Yeah, I was like I was going up to every I told you this, but I was going up to every Bowling Green fan and saying, like, I'm deep covered. Go Falcons. Yeah, yeah. Go Falcons. Like and people were like, oh, shit. Like, let me buy you a drink. Like, really? I was just like, I fucking hate this school.

Yeah, like i fucking hate penn state and it's so funny like i said i can't turn it off and like like there are there are fandoms that i have where i can like not turn off and be like yeah like i'm happy for him like i don't give a shit that much like yeah you know even like the only teams where i'm just like i can't stand to see them happy are the habs the the metsets, the Braves, the Yankees. Okay, the list is longer than I thought it was. Cowboys. Cowboys.

Cowboys, Giants, Commanders, Niners. Oh, this list is actually long. Turns out we have a lot of grievances. We do have a lot of grievances. I just like, I don't respect Niners fans. You know, like I respect a commanders fan who's been like digging it out since

like 92. Right. Or like like my like and there are teams where I have like no issue. Like even if like the Lions played us in the

NFC Championship one year, like I wouldn't have beef with the Lions. Right. You guys had to see some shit to get here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But like I can see some shit to get here. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But like, I can't turn off my hatred of Penn State. Hmm. And what's even worse is what? Aren't they supposed to play USC? That's supposed to be the fucking Rose Bowl.

This weekend in the Thunderdome. That's not supposed to be a Big Ten matchup. That's supposed to be the Rose Bowl. College Athletics is fucking stupid oh my god i i hate commercial i hate commercials but there is a one soda commercial that is pretty funny because it's it's been poking fun at the whole conference change it's like we're not even the same conference oh the dr pepper commercial yeah i wasn't going to say the name because can you believe can you bleep it sure 50 minutes in okay um don't bleep it i don't fucking care you're the one who has to edit this yeah

it's it well my new my new strategy is to not say believable things as much as possible so i could just i just do it more run it through the filters what we're gonna yeah all right uh tom's home address is why can't those drops ever be normal I don't know why they're so loud I lowered the volume yeah the fuck that state man just fuck that fuck that school

and how Bama barely dropped right when they lost to Vandy they should have been kicked out of the top. Friend of the show, Matt. Matt, I'm not going to pronounce your last name right. So I'm not going to bother. Was just like SEC bias.

A crew goes, there's no SEC bias. And I turned to her like she had insulted my mother. I was like, what are you fucking talking about? And she's like, well, like, and that's a great career. Because she is very lovely and smart and knows about college football. But I was like, listen, some of us like have this in our veins. And she's like, I like college football as much as you do. I'm like, no, no, you don't.

Because like you, you wouldn't voluntarily sit through Temple Yukon. I tried to watch Liberty, whoever the fuck was playing last night. Yeah. Well, because the game was shitty. Oh, yeah. I get that makes sense i i i forced myself to watch the whole game uh who's on tonight temple versus tulsa i just got an ad for alice ticks dot com yeah i'm not gonna sorry uh yeah isn't that isn't that your birthday one yeah i'd rather

Yeah. I don't recognize the territory of the so-called Philadelphia Flyers.

Yeah, it was like the Simpsons. Why does this flag have 49 stars? I'll be a cold day in hell before I recognize Missouri. That's right. You don't recognize the Flyers. No. All right. We got two voicemails uh we got charlie and wayne pretty pretty usual i don't have any dms this week we we got a ton of them and then you stop you got to send those dms you got to keep feeding the content mill that's how this works it's a it's a we this works. It goes both ways. We got...

Let's do Charlie first to give us sort of the... Another sadness update. This is really just... I love sports. I love sports. I love sports. That's going to be the episode title. Hey, guys.

Hey, Tom. Yay. Troners. Liam. I like. Hey Tom. Yay. Liam. Recapping. Two union losses. Both Orlando and Columbus games were losses. 2-1 in Orlando and then 3-2 in Columbus. Quinn Sullivan got the goal in Orlando and then 3-2 in Columbus. Quinn Sullivan got the goal in Orlando. Nate Harrell and Jack McGlynn the goals in Columbus. But the Union's chances aren't officially

eliminated from the playoffs presented by Audi but nearly eliminated with wins by Atlanta and DC.C., which makes the fight for ninth place between four teams, with two teams already at 40 points ahead of the Union, with 37. So it's pretty much a win and help to get in situation, which is not ideal, which means that I try to cancel my Apple subscription tonight.

It's looking forward to not a very good and active offseason by the Union. Could have been worse. Could also watch the Phillies lose, which also happened. Or you could have watched Temple lose, which also happened. I love sports.

Later, fellas. Yep, I love sports. Later, fellas. Yep, I love sports, too. It's great. It's the fucking best. It's the fucking best. Yeah, it's... My brother sent me the meme. It was just like,

at least the Sixers are just around the corner. And it's just a cycle. At least the Phillies are just around the corner at least the eagles are just around the corner i well i don't i listen man i'm riding high just because the the boston celtics this team's grim reaper won a championship uh and i will be dead in the ground before i recognize my wife's happiness about basketball. Oh. I know he'd keep peace in that household. Go Bruins, man. Just imagine you just wake up like, good morning.

Fuck you. Fuck you too. Fuck you so much. If this were... If it ever gets to Celtics, Sixers, Eastern Conference Finals, there's going to be some bad fucking blood. We're going to have to put you

You're going to have a line down the house like in a fucking sitcom. Like trading play or not trading play. I forget what it was. Yeah.
