Ten Thousand Losses - If I Had a S5 I'd Have a Tail ft. Alex & Bobby from Tipping Pitches

Episode Date: March 16, 2025

Liam had to leave right before recording due to a bad tummy, so our guests Alex and Bobby from Tipping Pitches step into the role of Temporary Co-Hosts. It turns out, without Liam, Tom is completely unhinged and neither Alex nor Bobby had the desire to stop him. There's some sports in there (mostly about the Phillies outlook) but we talk about Gonzaloism, alpha male podcasting, Bryce Harper's child naming thought process, Philly sports fan paradigm shift, and the old bodybuilding dot com forums.

He is actually going to eject a fan. Bad things happen in Philadelphia, bad things. The fan jumped into the penalty box area. Joy doesn't come to Philadelphia and stand here at Dodge Ice Bowl. We, the Dallas Cowboys, head assessment, John Keene. All right. And we're live. We're live here.

I'm tolling the bell in mourning. The Phillies bell in Outfield and Centerfield is now draped in black crepe paper because Liam's dead asterisk. Liam is not with us today because he's thrown up a lot. And instead, our guests have been promoted to temporary guest co-hosts. So we've got two guys on to help me out. So it's not just me talking because that would be what a shit show. Would it be me talking for an hour about sports? I'm not editing that.

So like. I'd like to hear it. You'd like to hear it? It would, it would become very quickly by musings on everything. It would not be a sports podcast anymore. Well, I would just like to say I'm happy to be here because I would like to officially welcome every listener to 10,000 losses in New York Mets podcast. You're on number now Yeah, 10,000 Fuck you don't have that many losses to you No, no, we haven't been around nearly long enough. Oh, that's right. What's it like not being the oldest single city team?

Don't talk about how far you got. I don't want to hear that doesn't count Don't talk about making us look like fucking more like that. What a spanking the mess. I didn't even say anything. I didn't say anything. What is the thing? You know what they say about projection, Tom? Rent free. It's 9 10s of the law. Yeah, it's 9 10s of the law. Rent free.

I hate that phrase, and I always have hated that fucking phrase. I know it's nine tenths of the law. Rent free. I hate that phrase and I always have hated that fucking phrase. I know it's got to hate it. I'll rent for you. You think too much about rent, children. Yeah, you know, you should be thinking about unshackling yourself. Yeah. Breaking the chains from the rent, from the land. Abolish rent, you could even say. I would say the landlord of your mind, you know, abolish landlords.

Sure, sure. I think that's one thing kind of as a, you know? Abolish landlords. Sure. Sure. I think that's one in the same kind of- Like maybe even liquidate them as a class. Landlords don't do anything besides rent. We all know this. Some sort of cultural revolution. Yeah.

Or struggle section. I don't know if there have been, the problem is we're kind of forging our own path here. I don't know if there's much for us to draw on. Oh, right. Well, I draw from the Shining Path and Third Worldism and that, you know, I mean, sometimes you got to boil someone in a giant 55-gallon drum of engine oil. I wouldn't know, but I'm interested. That's Marxism.

That's praxis is what it is. Yeah, there's my new favorite. My new favorite overused joke on the left at the moment is the person um, the person who tweeted, sorry, who posted posted. I'm actually everything out. Canceled. Uh, formerly known as you do start to understand why, um, Lenin and Stalin just shot everyone. That's a good, I do think that is a good sort of capsule for just like generally everything that's

going on in the world right now. You know, hey, the Politburo did perceive a threat of a fifth column in the upcoming war and they didn't have a fifth column. That's true. I mean, I don't know what to say. I'm not saying their methods were the right ones or did they choose the right people 100% of the time. Bald and lie, flags fly forever, you know?

I mean, count the rings. I mean, they got the rings. All right. They got the same number of rings we do, I guess, if we want to count that. But yeah. Jesus. We got really hard into like Soviet apologia right there. It's, it's, when we got rid of the anarchists, that's why. See, this is not a can of worms that I'm willing to go into this early in the pod is like discussing whether or not anarchy is functional, you know? Gorbachev, his reforms, his failed reforms.

Yeah. I mean, like liberalism. Yeah. We talk about that. We could talk about, uh, we talk about sports too. We could. We could. Although I said before we recorded, the less we talk about sports,

I feel like the better this podcast would be. Poor Liam was ready to talk about sports and then all of a sudden he just was overthrown. He had to get it all out in a different way. That was the liberalism leaving his body. It was his body's own internal struggle session. Exactly. I mean, his dad is a malice. Like he's a straight, well, he's a Mao Zedong thought. Like, you know, he's not a, not like a off in the wild, you know, communist party of Philippines type or shining path, Gonzaloist. He's a Mao Zedong thought, Xi Jinping thought guy.

One thing I always love about coming on this podcast is getting to get back into the Philly headspace for sure. As someone who grew up in the area, but also just not ever understanding how we got anywhere on any of the topics that come up. I mean, my ADHD meds were off two hours ago. If we is, this is, if we, if we could have recorded it for, there might have been some semblance of continuity. Also Liam is sort of like my, my governor, like he keeps, he keeps me on the rails. I keep, yeah.

No, yeah. You're just going to let me hang it all out and just see what happens. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's because you you guys are. We were talking about this before. You're Star Wars fans. I'm a Star Trek fan. So you're like the jocks bullying the nerd.

I mean, I'm in the corner like, oh, what would Captain Picard do? He will give a really good speech. And you're just like, oh, fucking lasers, dude. Yeah. The Chad Jar Jar Binks. Yeah, I love Jar Jar Binks. I love one podcaster accusing two other podcasters of being too jockey. You know, like we kind of left that life behind, I think. It's the Overton window of, well, like in the podcasting world, we as sports podcasters,

we definitely are the jocks. I mean, it has to. Oh yeah. Well, we're not doing like fucking true crime history murder pods. Well, but like, where does that leave the whole sphere of like alpha male podcasters? Yeah. Good question. Thanks for bringing that up.

So you know, like the guy, let's go back. This all goes back to high school, right? The guy in your high school group who was talking about how tough he was and like, dude, I'm just getting laid all the time and just talking about it. Never got laid. Could not fight. In an actual fight, would just crumple like as soon as he was hit, run away. That's the Alpha Male Podcast. They talk shit, but they don't, you know, they can't back it up. Right. Alex, we're actually giving them swirly's.

Right. Who's your favorite alpha male podcaster right now? Cause I know that the rankings for you sort of change week by week based on who's putting out sort of the best content. Yeah. I mean, it's like a week to week power ranking in the NFL. It is. Yeah. I mean, big Huberman guy, you know that about me.

Yeah, you've never sold your Huberman stock. I know I have not. No, I have not. Fake news Reddit thread nonsense got to you. I'm all about self-improvement. Is that his thing? It's just like wellness? Like, just like self-

Wellness. I don't even know what his shtick is. I've seen many clips of him talking about, like, the composition of your brain and which things like add to bad brain composition. And I'm just like, whatever you want to say, dude. I don't know. I guess I'm going to avoid processed foods, whatever that means. We talked about this on our Patreon pod a couple months ago, Tom.

Yeah. But when I say processed foods, to me that, that doesn't really mean anything. Like every food that I eat is processed in some way or another. I'm not going out to the fucking vineyard. You're not chewing like dandelion leaves. Exactly. So, you know, I kind of think that's a catch-all term. Although I do hear that dandelion leaves are very good actually for synapses in your brain.

So Huberman's still number one for you. How about Jordan Peterson? You want to bust out the JP voice for the listeners of 10,000 losses? No, I don't. But I think he's fallen off, honestly. It disappoints me a little bit. I agree. I haven't seen many clips of him.

You know, I'm really disappointed that you don't want to hear the voice. And I'm bloody upset Anybody who has benzos mr. Peterson why why aren't you crying I don't I Only drink hydrogen water, and I don't have any hydrogen left you and Bryce Harper Yeah, we we shit I didn't Bring it back to Billy. Yeah. We, we, shit, I didn't even think about that. We should probably talk about that, but let me, let's do, let's do the intro first. All right.

Hello. Welcome to another episode of 10,000 losses. The only filled up sports podcast that exists. I'm your host. I'm your host, Tom Payne and my pronouns are he, him with me or my temporary guest co-hosts. Yay. Alex, you go first. Oh, that's, oh, that's where my temporary guest co-hosts. Yay. Alex, you go first. Oh, that's, oh, that's where we do. That's where we do our thing.

I'm Alex Basely. He, him, uh, I'm, I'm here with other temporary guest co-hosts. Yay. A Bobby Wagner. He, him as well. Alex and I host a little podcast called tipping pitches. It's a baseball podcast. Frankly, not a lot of baseball going

on over there. Alex watched 200 hours of Alex Rodriguez videos in the last year to put together with some of our finest work. So that's the kind of content that you can look out for over at the Tipping Pitches podcast. Scholarly Endeavor, such that it is. It's beautiful. I mean, the man is really, I mean, talk about an alpha male. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. He's a man who's not afraid to get a little vulnerable on IG stories.

I mean, the talk about, you know, show his like hot dog legs in the book that he still has not yet, has yet to write. And if you go to my Instagram DMs with him, it's just me being like, hey, the people want to know when your book's dropping. The people want to know, did you see Dune Part 2? The people want to know. I think at this point, actually, I got a response, not a response, but a little notification that was like, you cannot send messages to this user. Oh shit. Did you really?

Yeah. Dude, why don't you tell me these things? I would like to know that. Also, you should post that on our Patreon. You should post screenshots of your DMs with a lot on our Patreon. You should make like a fake Jordan Peterson account and see if he'll come on and then we'll really know for sure. Well when his book comes out, we're going to make a genuine effort to get him on. Like we will put in a genuine effort to get him on. Like we will

put in a formal request with his publishing company. Oh, sure. And I do think that depending on how well the book is doing, he might actually do it. Yeah. You might get signed copies, man. Imagine that. Don't get us too excited. Yeah, I know.

Yeah. All right. Put them away, boys. So no guests technically because they're guest co-hosts. Yeah. Guest co-hosts. Fuck you. Announcements. No announcements.

Voicemails. Call in 267-371-7218. Give us your name and pronouns. Patreon.com slash 10,000losses where you can get every bonus episode. Our latest bonus episode is the history of football part three. I know Alex was really getting into that. We did that with Jordan from the sickos committee and yeah, people like it. Also, you get access to our Discord.

Do you guys know what our Discord server is called? I can get you guys on there. You don't have to be on the Patreon. Unfortunately, that would involve me being able to use Discord in any way, shape, or form, which breaks my brain. It's one of those things where I'm just a couple of years too old to really understand how that works.

And I just am not going to. It's a really humbling experience, frankly. I'm kind of like, wow. I'm through the looking glass at this point. It's kind of like the same as Slack. But anyway, it's called John Crook's missing testicle. Expect nothing less. Testicular cancer awareness, you know, that's important. Man, get checked. And yeah, the voice channel where we do, when we do do live streams,

which we were supposed to do something this week of recording a really bad, you know, conference tournament, basketball game, illegally, of course, that will William's sex. So we're not doing that. But the voice channel where we would do that is the veteran stadium cancer cluster. So you know, we really, we keep it, you know, we keep it light over at, over on the discord and you can, you can. Big free radicals theme over on the Discord. And you can- Big free radicals theme going on over there.

Well, I mean, that's how, you know, the hydrogen water. That's how Bryce is keeping that away. So true. Cause I mean, did they really bury the cancer cluster? Like it's still there. It's like spent nuclear fuel rods just under the surface of K-Lot. I don't think it's K-Lot, but P-Lot or whatever it is. Right. What's the half-life on that?

Right. I mean, that's- You have no idea what you guys are talking about right now. Is there like nuclear waste at Citizens Bank Park? Like- Yeah, it's called Generation One AstroTurf. No, they suspect, there's a cancer cluster associated with Philly's players who played at the veteran stadium. Oh wow. Think, did Lenny Dykstra have cancer? Well, we had Darren Dalton, John Kruk, who else? Let me look it up. Doing live research on the pod.

Alex, you should know about Lenny Dykstra. I mean, you have his phone number. You can just call him. We do chat regularly. I mean, he, he still will like, if you were like, Hey, fuck you, Lenny, he'll still like, you know, what address? Yeah. Is he on a cameo? He probably is. Oh my God. Dude, the favorite cameo of every 60-year-old Philly dipshit.

Tug McGraw, Darren Dahl, John Vukovich, John Oates, Ken Brett, and David West all died of brain glioblastoma before they hit a 60. That's a lot of people. Yeah. Statistically significant sample size there. Yeah. Yeah. And that's the guys who had that cancer, you know. So not the other guys who

also had cancer. So if you'd like to stream along with 10,000 losses, head on over there. Yeah. When I play MLB the show, whenever the new one comes out, I'll probably do that. This time we'll find a way to record it where it's not one frame per minute. And cause that happened to my last stream and I couldn't upload it because it was one frame per minute. I'm not a streamer. I mean, that's just a different experience. That's more of like kind of an artistic statement. Right. Right. Like a photo gallery.

You hear me, my voice is fine. Liam's is choppy. And it's kind of like a Jackson Pollock sort of audio. Hell, I'm sold. It's like when you walk around a museum and you have the headphones in with the cassette tape and you like switch from painting to painting. That was the experience that you were trying to go for. Yeah, specifically the cassette tape, not the modern one with the digital.

I think it's fucking, guys, I one with the digital, you know, I think it's fucking... Guys, I don't mean to get mad here, but I think it's bullshit now how many things you have to use your own personal smartphone to do in society. Like, how about you step up and give me a functional technology and I'll keep using my personal phone as a personal phone. You just outsource your computer to me now. And I think that's nonsense. I hate scanning a QR code to find out information. No, give me a pamphlet, like God intended. Yeah. Download your app to claim your tickets that you purchased or whatever. I'm like, no, I don't want that. Benjamin Franklin didn't die in a printing press accident for us not to use

printing. That's exactly right. I'm always saying that. We advanced to the exact point that we were supposed to and then we pushed further. And I think that was a mistake. Yeah, do it for Ben. So let's ask you guys a question. So this being woefully out of date, but we didn't really talk about it because the last couple, you know, the Eagles went into the bowl. Yeah, I have some thoughts about that. But we'll get into that.

Did Bryce Harper poop his pants and miss a workout because of raw milk? Well, the rumors are swirling. Obviously, Bryce wasn't feeling super well. I don't think so. I kind of think that someone would have dug that up if he had. I think he just had your normal run of the mill cold. He's got young kids now.

Young kids are crawling with germs. So, I don't think so. We also haven't, we haven't seen the raw milk on the TikTok yet, right? He's mentioned it, that that's his preference. Yeah, we only saw ultra pasteurized. It was a vanilla latte. It was a vanilla latte that he made with raw milk, I believe. It was, well, no. In the video that he makes the vanilla latte, he's using pasteurized milk, ultra pasteurized even. But he's saying, this is the only milk that I use when I don't have raw milk available. So, it sounds like he has some sort of raw milk hookup who only gets a certain amount

of raw milk. And frankly, I would be surprised if this was not the sort of person who's providing raw milk to many different athletes. And Bryce Harper is just one of them. So, we might knock out like a whole league or two at once from this one guy. I'm genuinely worried that this is going to happen. I know. Like, why wouldn't you be worried about that? It's more than likely. More likely than not. I mean, the Phillies outside of like the fucking what, Rays or Rangers are like the most maggot up team. That's saying something for fucking baseball.

The sport that we, you know, Marxist, Leninist, Malist, Xi Jinpingists, love and they're the most reactionary guys. Maybe hockey players maybe, but Jesus Christ. I don't feel qualified to make that call. Yeah. If Liam was here, we could say that, but he also had raw milk. He was trying the Breast Heart for Latte. Yeah. Well, see, I had heard it on 97.5, the fanatic, that he did get food poisoning from drinking

raw milk. I wouldn't ever accuse Philadelphia Sports Radio of making up something for listens or clicks. Yeah. No, no, they would never do that. I mean, no radio host would ever do something like that. I think my favorite part about those videos is that in almost all of them, his kids are like yelling or screaming in the background and he's just like powering through like,

okay, use three, four ice cubes. You know, his wife is what I'm sure trying to like wrangle. Whatever. He's got like what, four kids or something like that? I think he's quiver full. Three. Three? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, he's got like what, four kids or something like that? I think he's quiver full. Three. Three? Okay. Yeah.

I respect it. Influencer game doesn't stop. You know, I gotta say, unlike Elon Musk at least, I assume that Bryce is producing these naturally. Right. I mean, he can't be that good at baseball. Not fuck. No, I think he fucks.

I think he definitely fucks. Here are his kids' names. Oh boy Uh crew aron Okay, that's k-r-e-w-a-r-o-n That's one name. That's two names. That's two names. Okay Brooklyn elizabeth both spelled the ways that you would guess uh b-r-o-y-k

le g-i-h I know it's just like the burrow that a Alex and I are both coming to your ears from. And then his most recent child born April 2024. That's going to be Cameron Ray. K-A-M-R-Y-N R-A-Y. April 2024, Cameron Ray. No. Mazel Tov. Don't put the Ray in there. Bryce and Kayla. I'm not a nominative determinism guy, but do not put the RAE in there. That's not, that's

the 2025 version of candy. They made a cake candy or I don't know, something else. Cameron spelled that way is interesting. How do you think they landed on that spelling? Do you think they like spun a wheel or something? We should probably outsource this question to our friends over at Bring Him Young Money in Utah. It's probably some Mormon shit. But it's also, isn't that just like the stereotypical, you know, there's like the picture of the

woman standing next to the chalkboard with like all the names crossed out. I think they referred to that photo. They were like, there's some really good ideas. This is some good shit. We love some stuff on the cutting room floor. I mean, she didn't use them all. Exactly. Honestly, can I be real?

I know we crack jokes about Bryce a lot and his like weird Mormonism and all of his strangeness just in general. Like straight up, good for him. He seems like he's happy with how his life turned out. He set his eyes on a goal and he hit it. I would be happy too if I was the best player on a Major League Baseball team, two-time MVP and also what, $130 million contract, whatever it is? Which is nothing anymore. $330 million contract.

$330 million. That's right. Still nothing. That's- They were on a capital strike, but not that bad. Yeah. I mean, $130 million. You can't even buy a fucking house for $130 million anymore.

Seriously. No. The eggs. I mean, Jesus Christ. Certainly not. No. That's why he wants to get extended to his age 50 season. I mean, Jesus Christ. Certainly not. No. That's why we get, that's why he wants to get extended to this like age 50 season. I saw that.

So he can get eggs. Egg humor is doing really well recently. You should keep powering through it. Yeah. This is the first time we've kind of egged it up here, you know? Haven't really been cracking. Yeah. I mean, we'll keep egging you on. I don't care. Getting a lot of yolks from the audience. That was actually kind of good.

I'm a little scrambled right now. So I might not be that funny, but you know what? I think at the end of the day, you know, it will be when I, at the end of the day when it's all over, I'll be like, it was over easy. And you know what I like to do after a podcast? I just get fried. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And sit myself in a nice hot bath and get poached. Yeah, that's right. Right. Uh-huh. Yeah. I like, you know, you know, I love, you know, sometimes if no one's listening to the podcast,

I'll put it on the feed, like me reading some hard boiled detective novels. Right. That's how it's definitely happened. I'm really forcing these metaphors. I was wondering if you were going to stop you. After the pod ended, if you were going to go watch Doctor Strange because he's portrayed by eggs Benedict. Oh my God. I'm just trying

to wrap this thing up, you know, make the worst one you possibly can. So I'm going to go drink some over teen over Latin. Yeah, that was good. Yeah. we go. Unfortunately, you just bought yourself 10 more, so keep it coming. Yeah. We're trying to get a dozen. We can bring some Middle English into this. We could talk, you're the apple of my eye in, which was the word for eye in the North of England. Egg was southern England, right? That's at least how I remember it. You're just coming up with these right off the top of the nog.

Noggin. The egg noggin. There you go. The egg noggin. What else do we use eggs in? This is like the Comtown episode where they just like did the names of movies, but with penis. I'm laughing cause that sounds like it's funny, but as Alex can attest,

I don't know what that podcast is really. Like I have heard of it. You're in Brooklyn. You probably like, like, yeah, you probably run into Nick Mullen all the time. I literally did see him in Manhattan two weeks ago. We talked about that. We talked about this. Was he wearing a Yushanka?

I guess he only does that as a bit. Well I still, I did steal this from them. I, I, someone, so last time I was on WTYP someone accused me of stealing a Nick Mullen bit, which I didn't. But I did steal this from them. So last time I was on WTYP someone accused me of stealing a Nick Mullen bit, which I didn't. But I did steal this one. So, hell yeah, dude. Oh yeah. That was sick. Sick. Nice. You, you, I don't know. Give me some stav to say. I can do stav. You just have to laugh. You don't even have to say anything. Just be fat, which you know, so I'm doing right now.

I'm not making fun of Stav for being fat, making fun of me for being fat. Does that line usually make you a lot of friends like in public? Like when you go around and you're like, I can do Stav. Yeah, I do to my students. That's how I play. Oh, I bet they love that. I bet they love that. I bet they love that. The Comtown Riffs really grow overwhelmed in a high school classroom.

Probably, yeah. No, they would. I just came in and was like, hey, what's up kids? I'm gay and my dick is small. That would kill. All the boys would think that's the funniest shit ever. And then all the girls would be like, DEI hotline, where is he? You said he's gay. DEI hotline. Type that in.

The DEI hotline, if you're listening at home, is 785-422-5881. Call in there if you need to. Yeah. What would you get? If you guys were teachers, what would you get reported for on the DEI hotline for saying? Hmm. Hmm. Good question.

I mean, Alex, you would probably be reported for your deep, deep love of Alex Rodriguez. You know, it's like going, it's like bordering a little too closely on something that's romantic. Oh, oh, interesting. I thought you were going to say because he's like Latin American. Oh, well, double whammy. Right. Choose your fighter. I don't know.

I don't know. Do I often come off as woke DEI guy? I mean, your podcast is pretty woke. I feel like our podcast is pretty down the middle. Yeah. Is it a centrist podcast? We try to get views from all sides. Right. I feel like our podcast is pretty down the middle. You know? Yeah. Is it a centrist podcast? Yeah.

We try to get views from all sides. Yeah. Right. Generally. Yeah. I think that like- When you're getting the baseball crank back on. We're aiming sort of like to swing back and forth between Neocon and Neolib.

You know, that's kind of the sweet spot to really pull in baseball fans. I'm joking. This is a bit, but it kind of is actually the sweet spot of baseball fans There's the neocon Neolib. I mean the spectrum. Yeah, that's pretty much the yeah Yeah, the baseball dads are falling to one of the two camps. That's pretty much it. Yeah, exactly little league dads Are just it's just a battle between neocons and neolibs for the soul of Little League across America This is why this nation is doomed. Bleak, bleak stuff.

Bleak. This is this is this is horrible. So back to the Phillies. So so so I guess we have to do a little bit of sports talk. All right. Let's do it. Really running the pack this year. Didn't fucking do anything. They got like one. they had like three trades. Jesus, the Lord is the biggest thing.

We ate shit to the fucking mats. How are you feeling as an adversary? Because you personally will fight the Phillies as well. I would. I do hate the Phillies as well. I would. I do hate the Phillies. I know this is not the right place necessarily to be sharing that opinion. No, no. We appreciate honest hatred.

Yeah. It comes from a genuine place, you know? We said that before. We had a caller recently say something about like, you know, I'm not a Phillies fan or a Philly sports fan, you know, I guess I have, it's like, you don't have to, if you listen, if you just like us and you want to hate listen to us, fuck it, I don't give a shit. But anyway, what were you saying before I cut you off? Well, what I was going to say is that I genuinely hate the Phillies, although I would say that my stance on them has softened in the last few years because of they have really amassed quite an interesting baseball team to actually watch,

you know, which is just different than back in the day when it was rooted in pure emotion of me hating the face of many of the Phillies players. I don't really feel that way anymore. And it's been particularly softened by the fact that the Braves have just been the best team in that at least for like sneaky 10 years now, more or less. You know, the Phillies have obviously owned them in the playoffs for the last three years. But I think that even you would probably have to admit that the Braves are the favorite in the NL East this year. I mean, Fangraphs has them projected to win 93 games. They have

the Phillies in second at 87 games and the Mets in third. So, there's like a decent gap between first and second in a way that like not even true in a lot of other divisions, save the Dodgers who are projected to win 97 games. So, I think that takes the sting out of it a little bit. I think it's a tough narrative sell to a fan base like Philadelphia to say we're just running it back because they are so reactionary even to the point like within the series against the Mets or within previous series. Like I think of the 2023 Atlanta or sorry a fan base that is as emotional and reactionary. I also think that from a player's perspective, I think it's a tough sell for a fan base that is as emotional and reactionary.

I also think that from a player's perspective, I think it's a tough sell for a fan base that is as emotional and reactionary. I also think that from a player's perspective, I think it's a tough sell for a fan base that is as emotional and reactionary. I also think that from a player And so, I think it's a tough sell for a fan base that is as emotional and reactionary. I also think that from a baseball perspective, Dumbassi can pretty easily defend most of what he has done with the roster building, even if he hasn't shaken up too much. I mean, Lazardo is actually really good. Yeah.

A great pickup, like if he can say. He had a lot of health problems, but yeah, he, in terms of a guy who lengthens their rotation and just continues to give them more of what they're good at, which I think is a thing, an interesting thing in team building that we've seen over the last few years in MLB. It's like just continue to get more and more and more depth at what you are already good at. If your lineup is the thing, keep signing hitters.

If your rotation is the thing, keep developing pitchers. And that's what they're doing here by just continuing to double down on starting pitching. And I find that interesting. I mean, I have no idea whether it will translate to them winning the division, but I don't know what he was necessarily supposed to do with like a pretty old team and not a lot of help coming. Yeah. I, we really haven't gotten into it because of the lack of movement. But yeah, I don't – I mean, listen, I've played out of the park baseball a couple of times.

So, I can get in the head of Dombo here and kind of see what he's – the moves that he would make. And you really – I mean, what are you going to do? Sign another guy for fucking – I mean, like, you going to do? Sign another guy for fucking, I mean, like, wait, maybe we got, could have got Pialanzo if you wanted to pay the murder tax, you know, the where bill. I mean, and played him where though? Yeah. Like at DH? Well, and I know they've also said I think, or at least telegraphed that they're like, look, we're willing to

take on money at the deadline too. Right? Like, okay, we didn't get the big free agent splash this year, but depending on how things look in July, we'll go out and take on the guy who is getting paid $20 million a year, whatever. I don't know who that is right now. But I mean, I think that also from the perspective of our podcast, it's been interesting to watch the Phillies

and maybe conflicting at times for you, Bobby. I don't know because we rail so hard against the owners and the GMs who sit there and just run for sure for running a low payroll or whatever. It's hard to be pissed at the Phillies for everything they've done in the last five or six years. No, I can't complain. What they are. I fucking fucking didn't like you can't get mad.

If the team got to the playoffs, the team played well in the season. I can't be I can be mad at the team, but I can't be mad at like, all right, dude, you put the moves in place. Like, yeah, I do think this is the rare case of like the players really kind of let the rest of the organization down in the playoffs last year I mean they every single player up and down the roster with the exception of Maybe Bryce, but even he was not to his normal playoff standard underperformed What they did during the regular season and what you could reasonably expect as the person who's organizing the team now Maybe you could say that you know toppers getting a little stale in that locker room,

but it seems like the guy's still really like him. I think that there's a number of players on this roster who are ripe for cutting or trading basically. And just to refresh the kind of energy and vibe of what is going on with that team and to provide a different dynamic than what they've had in the last couple of years. Because I think every team needs that and goes through that. But I also think the flip side to we did nothing this off season is that we kept our powder dry for the trade deadline.

We kept our powder dry for the season to see how things are going. And baseball is such a long season that we have like 50, 60, 70 games to really figure that out and decide whether or not it really, we really do need to settle and get rid of Marsh, settle and get rid of Boam. These are two guys that they definitely tried to get rid of and other teams were just not that interested in, but they will be interested in like the Yankees will probably, I would venture to guess, be interested in someone likec Boehm when their third base is just a black hole and DJ Omey has one leg.

Well, that's something different entirely. I mean, he's a headcase like a pitcher. He's got the mentality for it. He's a fucking psycho. I think those guys need to go. I just don't know necessarily that this was the right time to move them. It's just a tough spot. I think, I think, I don't hate Marsh. I don't have a problem. Like, boom, I hope he has

a really good year so we get a good trade for him. Because I don't think he's, the talk on sports radio is he's going to unlock his power. He's going to unlock his power. It's been that for fucking four years. Just one more tweak, bro. Just one more tweak to unlock his power. It's been that for how for fucking four years. All right. He's just one more tweak, bro. Just one more tweak to my launch angle. Yeah. You know, get the guy that worked on Scotty jetpacks. Yeah, he really fucking unlocked that swing. You know, you guys are exactly the other fucking drive line. Yeah, I think that's probably the most likely, I concur with you guys in that case.

Hopefully they do well and we can get someone good. I mean, aside from Seattle, do they have the best rotation in baseball? Probably. Yes, I think yeah. Wheeler, Nola, Christopher Sanchez is just like ascendant. Yeah. Incredibly. He's going super saiyan. Suarez, I mean. In spring training.

He hit a wall last year, but for the first two thirds of the season, he was incredible. And then, Lazardo, if he stays healthy, we already talked about him. And then, you have reinforcements in the minors. Like, that's the only place in the minors that you have reinforcement in, Andrew Painter. So, I mean, they're set up pretty well. I think to the pitching, I mean, they basically admitted it like, you know, kind of ran out of gas towards the end and having a longer rotation, especially down the stretch is really going to be good for us. You know, you were saying we play source strengths.

So, I mean, I'm optimistic. I think it's going to be a good year. I wish we had more, more NL, I wish we had more divisional games. I like that we play everybody at least once, but I really like, especially just saving it for the beginning and the end of the year, I want the hatred to be season long.

Yeah. I miss when you used to, I want the hatred to be season long. Yeah. I miss when you used to get to play the other teams, near division 19 times. I think it was 17 or 19. That was awesome. I love that shit. Cause then you get random stats where it's like one team just straight up owns another team. It's like we went for no reason.

Three against you this year. It's like, that's punishing. Yeah. I, the Met, dude, the Mets had the Phillies from day one. I was saying this, I was like, I do not, the only thing I do not want to face in the playoffs, the only thing I do not want to face in the playoffs is the fucking Mets because they're going to fucking smoke us and they did. Because they just had, they had the juice, they had the energy, they had, whatever all

the fucking weird brain shit that makes baseball work. They have it. They had the less they weren't thinking, which is good. No thoughts just hit ball. Yeah, too stupid to know they were supposed to lose. I think it's the phrase. And it's the it's the underdog. It's the underdog shit, you know, it. Just the small market meds, baby. The underdog meds stepping into the yard with nothing but heart and soul.

Yeah. There's a real fucking small market out here. This tiny little town is called Brooklyn, or Queens, I mean. I don't know. I don't go to New York that often. All right. It's okay. You New York that often. All right. You had Brooklyn on the mind. Yeah.

Yeah, I just had, there goes that joke. Beastie Boys, no sleep till Brooklyn. Oh yeah. Well, the worst comes to worst, we can just go back to the egg jokes. We could, we could. Are you excited for more of that listeners? If there's no one listening. If we keep doing it, I'm going to be a shell of myself by the end of this. I think the listeners are shattered. Yeah.

Are you ready to cracked. Did you? You know, don't want to whitewash. What we said, we can't really go back and take that back. Yeah, yeah. I just had more egg content on the membrane, you know? Yeah. I like, Bobby, you're doing the more like the, like, like play on words. I don't, I don't know what I forget what it's called when you like, you know, it sounds like you're like writing a pop punk song or something where you're like, I'm going to take two completely

different ideas and put them together. You know, Like- I can't change how I was raised. I know you can't. That's what I love about you. Thank you. Thanks. Well, I mean, this is this, I mean, the pop- like, pop punk adjacent is new metal and we did that last time. That's true. Yeah. We stick to our guns over here. Yeah. Let's see. What do we got next? All right. You want to talk about the Eagles win the Superbowl?

Sure. Let's do it. Yeah, I do. I have a lot of thoughts actually. You do? Yeah. How'd you feel about that Superbowl, Alex? Yeah, man. Did you watch it? I did. Yeah. Nice. What did you think? You were just there. You were kind of waiting to see President Trump come out and wave. I was. I was hoping he'd get the ovation. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Actually, I was watching more for Musk.

Oh, right. I love every time the chief scored a touchdown, he got to jump up and do the X. You know? Uh-huh. Right. It's the little things. You got to find joy somehow. That the chief scored a touchdown their whole one touchdown. Yeah, yeah.

That was one of the worst football games I ever watched. Oh, it was boring as shit. It was so boring. I'm happy for you, I guess. I don't really. I mean, it's whatever. Don't don't lie. The thing that I wanted to talk about with the Eagles is I'd like to submit here on this podcast just a thought that I have.

Mm hmm. I think it's time to maybe and I know you can't totally do this because you're the 10,000 losses podcast and it's kind of like your whole schtick. But it might be time to retire the tortured Philadelphia sports fan narrative for good. OK, I did some research here. You can see I'm going to show you guys my notebook. I did a little research for this. Let's do it. We somewhat actually prepared for the podcast.

I did it. You know, you know, I'm married to the content. Here are the four major sports that is hockey, baseball, basketball and football. Titles of the 21st century by city. Boston leads with 13, followed by L.A. with 11, San by LA with 11. San Francisco with seven. Tampa, because of hockey, has five. It's not a real city, so it doesn't count.

Well, it is a city. It is a city. Tampa Bay is not a city, but Tampa is a city. Not for long. That's actually true. Pittsburgh has five. New York has four. Now, New York has several

different teams in multiple sports. So, those are split allegiances. That's actually, yeah, not great. It's pretty bad, frankly. Kansas City has four, St. Louis has four, Denver has four, San Antonio has four, all in basketball. And then next is Philadelphia and Detroit with three. So, only those cities in the 21st century have more titles than Philadelphia. Meanwhile, we have dozens of cities across America who haven't even made it to a major sports championship in this century. And plenty of cities only have one. And frankly, you guys have gotten close a couple of times in other sports too. So I honestly think it might

be time to retire the whole we're Philadelphia sports we have it harder than everyone else bit. What do you think about this? I'm considering his future right now. Submitting this out into the world and I'm feeling several listeners trying to find my address to come to my home. 267-371-7218. Give us your name and pronouns. Tell us what you would do with, well, I won't say your penis.

You normally say that. That wouldn't be nice because you're a real person. Not like Elon Musk. What would you do with Pete Rose's penis or whatever like that? How would you beat up Bobby? Actually don't call him because I actually have your phone numbers when you call in and I'll let him know. You can't be trusted here.

Yeah. No, I understand. It's part of the identity and it should stay part of the identity. I just don't necessarily think it should be the foremost part of the personality and identity anymore, because two insanely important Super Bowl wins. You've you foiled the two evil empires in national football league. We're like the Rebel Alliance in your beloved Star Wars. So, well, the Alliance to Restore the Republic. I suppose when you put it that way, that is fair.

Yeah, that's our one and two. So to care. Yeah. You think they would have fixed fixed the ability like in the first Star Wars, it was a torpedo, like an exhaust port right next to the main port. It's not much bigger than two meters. A Wobrat's not bigger than two meters. I can hit that thing. Whatever. I used to know all the dialogue to the movie. Anyway, so you have this two meter exhaust port, right? Just like the rest, like the rest of us. Yeah, and then they build the Death Star 2 and You can fit like the Millennium Falcon inside the exhaust port

They were like if he's gonna get it anyway, we might as well Into making this thing so airtight And to making this thing so airtight. Yeah. Have you ever thought about that? All right. Call it. Call it. 2673717218.

What would you do with George Lucas' penis? Tell us about your favorite. Hey, what race should be the next Star Wars movie that should be pastiched. What racist accent should we do next in Star Wars? That'd be great. Alex, you have a lot of thoughts about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I could break some out now if you want from some of the candidates.

Yeah. I've been hanging out with JK Rowling a lot, actually. This is fresh in the mind. You've been hanging out with JK Rowling so you know about the mold? You've experienced the black mold on her walls. I was in Edinburgh two years ago. It's just, that's just- That's just what it is. That's just, it's never dry.

It's a country that's permanently damp. When I was last on WTYP, I also talked about, I talked about how the UK and Ireland, right? The Great Britain and Ireland, the British Isles plus Ireland, whatever you want to fucking call it. I'm going to get, there's IRA people who listen to this I'm gonna get fucking blown up. I'm not joking by the way. There are IRA people who listen to this podcast That's dope. That's dope. Yes. Subscribe to Tipping Pitches also. You're very IRA people. You're welcome. To support the widows and orphans.

I'm gonna fucking put the wolf tones in. I could see Patrick's days next week. That's true. What's that? Monday? 17th? Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to bring in non-alcoholic Guinness for the students. They're going to love it. Nice. I got non-alcoholic Guinness in the fridge over there. It's pretty good. Not bad.

I think it's fine. But to get back to this is that the toilets are never dry in these nations. We in the United States have dry toilet floors for the most, unless they just gonna be cleaned. There's never a dry toilet floor in Ireland or the UK. And I think it says something about like a deep, like the mold is everywhere and it's not just regular mold, it's piss mold. It's bathroom mold. Not the best kind, right? Yeah. I mean, you think about it, we really kind of did make the right move.

Getting out of there. Getting out of there. Yeah. I mean, we could have universal healthcare. We could have had ended slavery, like by what? 1820. We could have a free college. Right.

Also, probably like, I mean, better comedy. Well, it's legal again though, so at the very least. So we're trending in the right direction. We're on our way back. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Because you could say slurs now. Comedy's legal. Yeah. That's why you guys are here. And another thing, so much for the tolerant left, that's legal again to call out the tolerant

left. Yeah. So we were talking about the Eagles and you were like, did we make a point about the... Oh, no. All right. So get... I'm remembering in real time. This is going to be a bitch to edit.

I fucking hate myself. To your narrative, to the narrative, your critique of the narrative, if you will. Yeah. And I would pause it, because I was thinking there for a moment. Just for a hot second. That's dangerous, yes.

That I think that narrative, the perception that that's the Philly narrative is outdated, because we have a new narrative. Okay. No one likes us, fuck you. I like that. And honestly, I think that that, you know, I think the glove does fit.

Yeah. So no one likes us. I will, I will say that is, that is what I associate with Philly sports recently. It's kind of like, we're fucking crazy. We don't, you don't know what we're going to do next. You know, like it's a little bit like, right, exactly. It's like every member of the fan base is like some weird Connor O'Malley character.

He's on a heater recently. He's on a real heater right now. He's doing something special. The pure hate that that man has for Joe Rogan is really unmatched, honestly. I think the Super Bowl and Jason Kelsey,, we can't get enough of him. He's definitely not overexposed. No. But I think that- He's actually going to be on this podcast after us.

I mean, I would like, not gonna lie, I'd be fucking really pumped for that. Be good for download. I feel like Jason and I would get along. Oh yeah. I feel like I would get invited to the Shore House. That was a really nice 180 you just did there all of a sudden when the prospect of him being on comes on. Yeah.

Does he have a Shore House? Where? Avalon, I think. Oh Avalon. My parents love Avalon. You don't know shit about Avalon by the sea, Alex? Nope. You don't know shit about Avalon. You don't know shit about Avalon by the sea, Alex? Nope. You don't know shit about Avalon by the sea?

That changes everything. Well, I mean, it's not fucking Avalon by the fucking lake. We're not in England. This is a Camelot bullshit. No, the- Keep up with the program, dude. Yeah. It is, do you like faux Italianate mansions built to a lot size that's about 15 feet wide with

lots of foam columns, trying the best to look like an Italian villa in New Jersey? Yes. That's Avalon. Yeah, dude. That sounds gorgeous. Yeah. Also yelling at people for parking in front of your house, even though it's free. And yelling at teenagers, they like that too there.

What was your short talent growing up, Tom? Wildwood. Wildwood. Yeah. Okay. Wildwood crest. Also North Wildwood. I like Wildwood.

Wildwood was fun. That was more of like a every couple of years kind of trip for me. Yeah. So I got my master's degree. So now it's Cape May. But, um, uh, and I don't, I, you know, Avalon really, you have to own like a car dealership or, or like a, like a small business. You really have to be like an economic engine to, um, to have a house there. Driving sales, you know, hitting KPIs and whatnot. You got to be that that go into those sales conferences with the guys like you just got to fucking forget about your family.

All right. Exactly. You just listen. Were the guys in Band of Brothers worried? Like, your sales warriors for Christ. Like those guys, that's fucking Avalon right there. Yeah, I do. And listeners this podcast, you know, who are local will know that. But yeah, love that.

Love that one, New Jersey. It sounds like a pen, Alex. Some of this. All right. And then you can come down to fucking Avalon once you saw me this fucking pen. This beach tag is for closers. This is dumb as shit. South Jersey is so fucking Republican too. I would love to do a documentary or something, completely straight. I'm not trying to get an angle on these guys.

Someone would have to call the DEI hotline on you if it wasn't completely straight. Yeah, that's true. Just let them talk about their theories about business. That's a great idea. Get the Moris on, the Moris peers. Get guys who own like Max Pizza or Sam's. Just tell me what your thoughts are. What about the minimum wage? Hey, how do you feel about the idea that teenagers should only work 15 hours a week. Should an employee have to clock out before they clean after their shift? You're the perfect person to do this because you can easily code switch with them and they would definitely believe you. Like the Philly code switch? Yeah. Yeah.

You're fucking teenagers. they're so fucking entitled. Yeah. No one wants to work anymore. Do what I was working at McDonald's. Yeah. Exactly. You go down there and you're like, listen, I still live in the city, but I'm trying to bring it back to what it used to be. Yeah, I'm in the Northeast. Right. Exactly. Yeah, I'm up at Ron of Rhee. This is a good idea.

Frankly, once tipping pitches starts our film arm film arm, I'd happily fund that. You do have funding. I would love to do that documentary. Just like I said, completely straight. And I'm not going to throw fucking liberal editorializing. This is what they think. In their own words. This is a slice of real America.

This is what built Jeff Van Drew. This is what built, when you go down the shore and, and it says save the whales, don't build windmills out at sea because you know, the vibrations from the windmills confuse the whales. That's just obvious. And they die. Right, right, right, right. And then you got fucking whales coming up on the fucking beach. Have you heard that the whales apparently are like joining together to fight back against

boats and shit? They're like communicating with each other and acting in unison in ways that no scientist has ever observed before. That's probably like, what I would say is like, that's probably a good sign. Like based on what's been going on in the world and how we've treated the world, it's probably a good sign that the whales are acting like that, right? My 12 whales are unionizing against me. We're going to fucking break this whale union. As a lover of boats though, I'm'm in favor as long as there's a way I could signal to the to the whales,

like having the peace sign in Vietnam should meant that I was not going to shoot first. Right. Is there a way I could send the whales? I this is like an honest man's sailboat. I don't I don't have satellite TV on this. Right. This shit leaks. All right. You can't use the head. Right. You and I are brethren. You and I are more alike than than than, you know, them.

Follow me, comrades. Right. Exactly. Because we're going to go we're going to go up to Newport, Rhode Island, and you guys are going to have a fucking blast. You're going to have a field day. Just imagine just imagine the whales evading Newport Harbor and just slapping the shit out of these fucking yachts. Oh man. Just eating tourists.

Yeah. Going to the, they evade the breakers and just destroy all the fucking gilded paneling. It's a great idea. That'll be our- That's our feature film follow up to your documentary. I was just about to say that. God damn it. The fucking whale. Too slow.

I couldn't think of, I was like, that's gonna be our fiction, our fictional film. Is that what they're called? Did I ever tell you guys about when I was up in Newport and I actually ran in there was, because they have the stadium there. It's a pretty old minor league stadium, but they have like this all-star game there. I forget what it was, but it's like, I don't know if it's a wood bat thing, but it's a college showcase thing. Their play was right by where we were staying. I walked past them and I was wearing my John hat. One of the players just is like, yo, yeah, dude. Fucking hat, man. I was like, you better hit a home run today. Yeah. That was just a, I just like a cool Philly connection. But they were just like outside, you know, they're just hanging outside the stadium.

It was like, you know. My best Philly connection moment recently was that I went to the Bradley Cooper cheesesteak in New York. Oh no. You know about this? This is a thing? No. All right. I got to look this up. No. All right. Look this up. Bradley Cooper has opened No. All right. I got to look this up. No. All right. Look this up. Bradley Cooper has opened a cheesesteak place called Danny and Coops.

Started as a truck. What cheese do they have? Now they have a storefront. They only sell provolone. They don't have whiz. I asked. They don't have Cooper Sharp? It's right there.

I don't know what to tell you. Fucking right there. That's the only, that's all right. I, I'm not a provolone on the stakes guy anymore. I've been completely converted to Cooper sharp. The whiz at, don't worry, give a shit. I mean, it's whatever. Well, I don't want to slander them. Hold on. Let me make sure that that's all they have. Anyway, in any case, I went. Yeah.

It was good. Okay. I was impressed. They apparently, uh, they apparently like trained under Angelo's from Philly to learn how to make it. And Bradley linked up with like a New York restaurateur who was one of the people who like found a Shake Shack, Danny Meyer. And it's like a real influencer thing. Like, I was standing in line with a bunch of, like, Eastern

European men who were like, I'm here for Bradley Cooper's cheesesteak. I'm not even gonna try to do an accent, but. Niko Reyes I come to this country to buy steak. Jason Vale Exactly. Niko Reyes We're doing it with real 90s, like, I come to America for blue jean and cheesesteak. Jason Vale Right. We're doing like John Malkovich from Rounder's level Axe Network. And I got it, I posted a photo of myself eating the cheesesteak and I was wearing a heavy slime t-shirt and

a bunch of people underneath were like, Philly cheesesteak, heavy slime t-shirt, you know ball. And that was my version of you wearing the John hat and having a guy come up to him and be like, yo, let's go, we're gonna win hat. Yeah, exactly. Oh my god. I mean, I can't, I can't though. I don't know what heavy slime is. Is that like hypey shit? That's just like a Philly t-shirt designer basically. I don't know. Hmm. You should check them out. I think that you would vibe with their overall vibe. Let me see.

Everyone kind of does. Hold on. Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen them. Okay. Yeah. They got the Eagles, uh, the Eagles smoking a cigarette. All right.

I've seen that. All right. That kind of fucks. Um, I was, I was thinking it was like, oh, is this like the new Supreme is like heavy slime. That's, that's fair. And it's just like, I was in my brain, I was thinking like lime green, Nickelodeon, Gack. You had like this lime green, like a thousand dollar shirt on and all the other influencers

like nice. I'm not, I'm not a hype beast in that way. As Alex knows, I only deal with elevated basics. That's it. It's not true. A bit of a sneaker head. Yeah. A bit of a sneaker head. Yeah. A bit of a sneaker head here and there. Lightweight.

You dabble. Lightweight. I was sort of forced into that life. You were. Yeah. Yeah. By my job. You didn't choose it. To do podcasts professionally, you have to. The sneaker game's got to be on point. It's more so, it was more so to go to the LA office of the Rer in 2018. You couldn't be showing up with the same pair of sneakers every day. You had to really start mixing through some of them.

Dude, they don't even have a badge. They just look at your, all right, he's, he's clear. He's clear. You're in. Clear. TSA pre-check is like for the different kinds of Nikes. Yeah, I got my real ID Jordans. Jesus Christ, dude, this has been an hour.

We haven't said anything. No, that's not true. We did some serious analysis of the Phillies roster and off season. Come on. It was more egg bits than I thought I had in me. It was pretty excellent. I feel like I reuse that one. That's all right.

No one's going to remember. Well, no one's going to be listening to that part and this part, you know, scramble, fried, yoke. Yeah. Yeah. Over easy, over easy, over hard. It's later tonight. I mean, I was essentially going to, we're going to talk about Pat Hover because Liam would have kept me on track

long enough to talk about that. And I just want to sort of, we know that he had the perfect game, right? And I asked you guys, because you guys know a thing or two about ball. You know a thing or two about gambling. I know you're really deep into DraftKings, bet 180, whatever the fuck it is. Right. Bet 420. So does that mean that his perfect game is now invalid? And I can go to my grave knowing that there wasn't a perfect game, umpiring game called against the Phillies.

Well, no. You said this to us in the prep, or at least you said it to me on Slack in the prep. It just seems so silly that we say Slack out loud. That's where Tipping Pitches, we all hang out on Slack. Go to Tipping Pitches Patreon where you can, if you pay for pro, I guess you can see the pictures of my cats that I put there regularly. I got to put some up on the Discord. If you're a 10,000 losses listener,

you can just get the link to the Slack for free. That's my promise to you. You said this to me, and I was like. You don't want, you don't know. You don't know what you're saying. All right, fine. No, they're degenerates. I'll start an IRA channel, you don't know. You don't know what you're saying. All right, fine. No, they're degenerates. I'll start an IRA channel, I'm not afraid.

I'm not afraid. Anyway, so you said this and I was like, I don't understand how the gambling thing would make him wanna do better as an umpire. He still had to get all of the calls right. There wasn't some sort of cheating mechanism that he was using, like the ABS or whatever telling him what was right or wrong so that he could profit

off of it. He just happened to do it. Right. He's still the guy making the calls. Yeah, exactly. The betting thing was just kind of ill-advised, frankly, and stupid. I don't think it was corrupt. Maybe he hacked the pitchcom though, like we did. That's true. I mean, an all time night. I always forget about that. That was a stream, right?

Yeah. Yeah, that was like during the playoffs. Someone should have. We should have recorded that. That was the Dalmatian. That was so fucking funny. I and I don't like drink as much anymore. And like I was, I think I was pretty fucking drunk during that. But that was, yeah. RIP, those laughs. If you were around for it, appreciate that. Yeah. If you know, you know, those were, you don't really know they're the better days until they're gone.

It's like tears in the rain, man. Shit. Alex, do you think that Hoburg, what Hoburg did was, I guess we talked about it a little bit on our show, but it already kind of come and gone and we didn't have that many details surrounding it. But do you think that he was like cheating at all? No, I think he was being stupid. I think he has a buddy who was more of a degenerate than he was.

A professional gambler. Right. Yes, exactly. But it seems like Pat was also had a fair bit of a betting problem himself and was like maybe asking his friend to place the bets for him or whatever. I don't know. It just seemed like the easy way of avoiding this is don't sign up for a betting account with your email, pathoeberg at MLB.com.

Like- Trevor Burrus Did he actually use his like- Aaron Powell I mean, I don't know if he actually uses MLB email. But you have your name linked to it. They look at your ID and whatever to make sure you're like a real person who's allowed to do this. I don't know.

I just- They really do. They're doing ID checks on gambling apps. I have no context for this. I've never even kind of come close to using a gambling app. I think they do. My students have told me that they just use their dad's ID. That's one of the most alarming things I've ever heard.

Oh yeah. No, I've had kids tell me, I'm like, I don't think I can report this to children and youth. I should be able to. And I've had kids ask me, because I'm like the sports teacher, like, hey, I'm not giving you betting shit. Don't stop that not giving you no, no, no. Yeah. Stop that. I'm not your star. Yeah, no, I'm an idiot.

First of all, too, don't be an idiot and gamble. It's it's it's like stuff like shit like that is genuinely like no more no more advertising that you can do it at the fucking racetrack. Sure. I don't think it should be allowed to be doing on the app. Right. You can't do it on your phone. You can't, it can't be a thing that you carry around with you.

No, it's too easy. I know too many, like I have people in my family who've like really fucked over their family gambling and several times it's like, no, you can't. Like, not on the product. It should genuinely be illegal to advertise it like on TV, like cigarettes. Just make it illegal. Agreed. You know, I know this is a little take, but you know. Right. Yeah, exactly. No, there was a reason we like, you went to a place that was like really dark and like kind of not really by the center of the city. Like you had to actively go out of your way and go in a place that made you feel a little bit of shame.

Yeah, it should be like buying porn or dick pills. That's right. You shouldn't be tweeting about it. I shouldn't be able to just scan a QR code on my favorite Jordan Peterson videos and buy dick pills. What you do still. There's a lifting- I'm running out of money, please. What lifting? Oh, fuck. There's a lifting channel that I've, I don't watch because they're all chuds. But they have like, yeah, go into our YouTube description. We got referral codes to men's labs. We do your blood work and we do TRT.

Holy hell. Oh my God. I don't want anyone doing my blood work who doesn't have multiple college degrees. You don't want Mike Isretel. He's actually a doctor. So like, you know, do you know Scooby do you, do you, do you know Scooby? No. Do you don't know skateboard squats Scooby?

No, you're just saying words now. Hold on, hold on, hold on. I don't want Scooby from Scooby workout guy. My relationship to work on is that I don't consume it at all. I don't consume the content all. I don't consume the content. I just, I live it. You just, yeah, exactly. You wake up every day and say, I'm making the content in real life.

Exactly. All right. I'm sending you a link to greatest physiques for scooby work stop. And let me find this. Oh, greatest physiques. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's, you know, it used to be my homepage back when I, for my hernia, herniation. I think people who didn't like try to figure out lifting principles and protein stuff when they were in high school don't totally understand how much modern day society resembles like bodybuilding.com forums from 2008.

I think there are very few people who really know that this is what culture has leaked out into the rest of the world but I'll tell you one thing, this is it. I lived it then and now I'm living it now. I was bb.com and I was on fit man. That was the shit man. I was in college. Where it was just like a man going to another man asking a question and getting the worst fucking advice that you could possibly get and being like, well, this is the first thing I've heard. So this is what I have to live for the rest of my life. I mean, bodybuilding.com gave us spaghetti stories, spaghetti falling out of my pocket.

Gave us how many days are there in a week. You know, it's, I, they shut down the forums. Did you hear about that? I know. It was too out of control. It was, holy shit, was it bad? I feel bad for the funny shit that was extinguished, but holy shit. Speaking of bodybuilding.com, so Scooby in the X-Link, the everything app there, it's a shot of him doing the skateboard squats. Scooby by all accounts seems like a really nice guy, right? Ashamed of his baldness because he's always wearing that fucking hat. I've seen this man before.

How did you find this tweet from March 14th, 2016? This is like five replies into like a conversation. I went, I went skateboard squats, scooby, Google image search. And scooby, deathly afraid of barbell squats. And I suppose there's an alternative. Instead of just doing normal dumbbell squats, or like do a leg press, do a hack squat, put a skateboard over your back and hold your dumbbells and go up and down. So the skateboard, like in the video, the skateboard's coming loose and shit.

And they like doxed him and like found out he's like gay. Like, who gives a shit? Right. I'll tell you who gives a shit. People on bodybuilding.com forums. Yeah. And yeah, I miss that fit. You know, the January comics is, or Zs, I forget. I never heard it pronounced. You Myron, you Jelly, you Mab, you know? Jesus. Archer pose. God. Yep.

That's right. Yeah. We, we, we should definitely have you on to do like some bonus on like lifting culture. We've done it a little bit before. Happy to do it. Cause I have so many thoughts. They've been marinating up here.

This is where the jock really comes out. Honestly, no big time. I'm serious. I'm serious. We should do it for like a bonus in a month or two. It we've had we've had a friend of the show, Patrick, on the talk about like the origin of like bullshito, like guys who think they can like karate chop, you know, like, you know, the guys, the guys who fight Steven Seagal, like those guys. And we have talked about like right wing shit and lifting culture.

I think we need to do another, especially with the origins, knowing that you're a BB.com kid, like. Especially with the origins, knowing that you're a BB.com kid. There were so few places to find answers and so many questions rattling around in my adolescent head. Thick, solid, tight. Send us, I want to see how fucking huge you can get. Send us. Send us. I can't say the next slide.

Keep us posted with more pics and vid clips. He says vid clips. He says a bit clips This dude fucking commented on every fucking person Because that When you do your documentary when you get your tipping pitches studios, yeah. Mm-hmm, you know, I Want to do them that my third documentary is going to be about Billy.com. This is prolific. We have we have a new Frederick Wiseman, ladies and gentlemen.

His name is Tom Paine and he is only. He's only moving around one 90 mile area. I'm going to be. I can't German guy. Werner Herzog. Yeah, I'm going to be the next Werner Herzog. There you go. My beloved. Yeah, no.

It all comes back to Star Wars. Sorry, my brain just short-circuited. That was a joke, right? Well, he's in the Mandalorian. No, he's in the Mandalorian. When is he in the Mandalorian? Third season? No, first season.

He's in it for like a couple episodes. Yeah, he's the one who says, I want to see the baby. You know what? I was really, so I've only seen the first two seasons of Mandalorian. I was recovering from the first bout of COVID that I had. I had the original strain where I saw Odin and all my family ancestors like save me. That's how bad my fever was. I was hallucinating like Norse deities.

I've been there brother. Yeah, yeah, who hasn't, right? I ordered something from bb.com and then that's what happened. You took the original Jack 3D. This is a meat of poetry. You went to Meemers Well. That's the shit that Beowulf was holding. Yeah, bro. Beowulf was only fucked with.

Yeah, bro. Let's see what's what's her oath, her wife, she's got me inventing I am like pentameter, you know. Oh, well, excuse me. Technically, old English first was alliterative. There was no rhyming that was done intentionally. It was too serious. You're too good at this. I mean, I do fuck with Beowulf, but I couldn't set that. That's the shit. I have to calm myself here. I'm getting too hyper. I just thought about Beowulf. I was about the Beowulf

of Jack 3D. You started moving around a lot. I've noticed that much. I might have to go squat tomorrow. I haven't squatted since I herniated my L1 S5, or L5 S1, whatever it is. Yeah, L5 S1. If I had an S5, I'd have a tail. I think we just got the title for the episode.

Yeah, that's it. That's it. Yeah, I'm going to go squat tomorrow. Fucking listen to Beowulf. Right on. Yeah. Where were we talking about? Bodybuilding.com before that?

Yeah. I don't remember. I don't remember. No, you were talking about how you had COVID and you started seeing Norse deities. Oh, so the Mandalorian, to get back to this. Right. Right, right. Back to square one.

I was really focused on Bill Burr. And I apologize if someone else has come up with, I'm sure someone else on the internet has come up with this. But I had the original thought while I was watching this was every accent in Star Wars is from a planet, right? So if you have a British accent, that's a Coruscant accent. If you have an American accent, broadly speaking, that's a Corellian accent, I believe. Boston accent implies, because it's a regional accent, implies there is a planet Boston

somewhere in the Star Wars universe. And the implications of that on the lore, I think need to be worked out. Yeah, have not been examined nearly enough. And if that means that there is a Boston planet, right. Does that mean we have a New York planet? Just the whole planet. Hey, fuck you. You know, like a fucking walker. I'm looking for my spaceship.

You know what would be the funniest planet that we could make the Boston accent planet? The first one that came to mind for me was Camino. You know, Obi Wan Kenobi goes there to buy the Clone Army, potentially, and they're all just talking in a Boston accent. Everyone on the whole, those aliens, too, they're talking in a Boston accent. What's the most racist planet in Star Wars lore? That's the one there.

And there are so many good contenders. I'd really prefer if the one engineer who worked on the droids was Boston Boston and so they all just are programmed to like have a Boston accent. Right what you know. R2D2 has like a fucking like he actually beeps and whistles like that fucking Pats. What the fuck are they gonna do without Brady? Yeah. Right. Cost how much money for a fucking beer fan way? Yeah. Uh, that might be Irish. Yeah, but that was pretty good.

I was gonna say, Jesus. Oh, so that means they're planning. So there's a British planet, right? So there's a planet Ireland somewhere out there. Jesus, the crack on that is 99. I just the the the wet is toilets in the fucking galaxy I tell you it's himself. It's just a whole bunch of guys like you walk into the cantina instead of like we don't want your kind here Right. We don't serve droids here. It's like ah, it's himself. You know, just they go on like a fucking story

You know some planet McCormick or whatever. I Love it. I love it. This can be your fourth documentary. Philly, Philly Planet? Philly Planet. I mean, terrifying. That would be a good woke hip hop like group name, album name. Yeah, Philly Planet. Philly Planet. Yeah. And I don't know, like, what fucking goes on there. I mean, Colin, 267-371-7218. Tell us what would happen on the Star Wars planet. What would the Star Wars Philadelphia be?

You land on the planet and you're immediately greeted by a bunch of dudes on dirt bikes. You're no droids on this planet. All robots killed instantly as soon as they land. Yes. Yeah, it's. Just it's just oil refineries exploding, planes crashing, you know, that kind of shit. Yeah. How the fuck did we get here? I don't know.

Should we, should we close with Charlie's voicemail? Yeah, let's do that. Cause it's an hour and 20 minutes of bullshit. Wow. Host Bob. Oh my God. Yeah. Yeah. This is what we call, oh, Bobby's getting tired. No, no. This is what we call, Bob has four hours of work left and Alex and him have to hit the road to Canada tomorrow morning at 630 AM. We're going to go up there and figure all this shit out. Come to Canada. Think about it.

A bunch of fucking hosers. Right? Right. All right. Let's listen to Charlie's voicemail. He's going to talk about the union because he's our union correspondent. He might be yelling. I don't know.

Haven't listened to it. I don't listen to any of this stuff before we play it. You want that live authentic reaction? Yeah. I'm not like you guys. Just like WIP. Keep it under a minute. No slurs. Like, again, this is woke.

All right. Let's never said keep it under a minute. I said, keep it under three minutes because that's the Google voice maximum. And very frequently do people go over that limit. Yeah, yeah. And they are always stunned and then they call back in and they're like, oh, shit, I guess you could just use the first two hours and two minutes and 40 seconds. I was going to do that anyway. Yeah, like I listen to Charlie.

Hey, guys, you Liam. Hey, Tom, Charlie from Roxburgh, he him calling to get to your union update. The Philadelphia Union went to New England and played a boss. Defeated, defunded and disposed of New England revolution to nothing with goals by Ty Gribo who has six goals in three games and is on pace for 68 goals on the season. And Jovan Strong-Lukic was a banger in the 90th minute.

Both goals come in late, seemed like New England was hard to break down, but the Union's defense was much harder to break down. They didn't even get like a quality shot on goal until the second half. Is that a stat? They are nine points. They're at the top of the table for the shield.

And, you know, Sunday they'll be at home for dollar dogs and sectarianism at Subaru park when they take on FC Cincinnati. Sectarianism. Between BD Cromley probably waiting for the old firm game that morning and the conjure Hock in St. Patrick's Day parade. I'll be in rare form. Yeah, maybe black and tans or come out your yellow and gold. That's right. Talk to you later, fellas. Thanks, Charlie. I love these. going to go to some very hyper local.

I was just going to say that. I was just going to be like, it's not just a Philly Irish Day parade. It's the Concha Hawk and Irish Day parade. Yeah. Do you know, like, I can't wait, you know, to find out how the Aaron Express kills somebody this year. It's really a beautiful thing. You know what the Aaron Express is, Alex? No. It is like, it takes you to all the Irish bars. Is it like a, what is it? Is it a train?

It's like a bus. Okay. All right. Yeah. But it, you know, takes you to all the different bars where you can die drinking too much green beer, just like they do in Ireland. Right. As God intended, frankly. Yeah. The most important thing about the Guinness is that we add the green dye. Now, you can't see it because it's black. All right. This has been insane. I feel like you guys detected just insanity for me and you just let me cook way too much.

I feel like this was kind of part of the course. Yeah. This was in our sweet spot. Honestly. Sample size of previous appearances on 10,000 losses. I feel like I'm in like, when you guys are on, you're like, we're visiting the zoo. I'm in the primate exhibit and you're watching me. I'll just let this guy keep scratching his balls.

I don't know. What is he going to do next? Let me pull up my cell phone and see like what the fuck he does when I show him like another monkey. It's going to fucking freak out. This isn't so different from what our Patreon episodes feel like. It's not so different, you know? I have to, by right, I'm entitled to those episodes. I have yet to listen to a Patreon

episode of yours. That's a problem, I guess I have to fix. You're missing out on the real uncut shit. Do you have a feed for them? Yeah. Yeah. All right. I just got to add that in your favorite podcast player. Yeah. Apple, you know, Spotify. That's unnamed audio company based on no endorsements. I believe I believe that.

Yeah. All right. I'll give shout outs. Oh, shit. Pause. One second. I forgot to check for new patrons. Dude, I've heard that before. You know, you could look for the patrons, Alex. Then if I forget, you could have them. All right, we do. We do. We do have one. All right. Hold on.

All right. Shouts out to our North Catholic tier patrons, Patrick, Sean, Mike, Kate, Charlie, Luke, Kyle, Chucklebird and Kat. You might have unsubscribed, and you're still on the list because I have to cross reference it, but we do have a new 700 level patron. This means you get to shit in the sink. Nathan K. So thanks Nathan K. Shitting in the sink, that's like shitting in a toilet in Ireland. I mean, they're just as wet. Just as wet, yeah. Maybe that's why there was so much cancer at Veterans Stadium is people shitting in the sink. Maybe.

Got that mixed up. Yeah, maybe. Voicemail, call 267-371-7218. Give us your name and pronouns. DM us and follow us. I'm only giving the blue sky. I have a top panel on blue sky. Where are you guys? Tipping underscore pitches still on X, the everything app. I believe someone made a pirate

feed of us on blue sky. It's not really us, but they're doing good work. So, you know, more power to them. It's like the Eagles account. Yeah, exactly. The unaffiliated tipping pitches experience over on blue sky. They haven't, they haven't posted anything contrary to your politics. Frankly, if you don't want to go to XD Everything app, you can just check us out, Tipping Pitches, wherever you get podcasts. That's where like our actual effort goes into.

So check that out. And I guess Alex could start posting on the Instagram at some point. It's just Tipping Pitches over there. Yeah, it's true. It's a great follow. I think the most recent thing on there is one video from me like a year ago doing a stupid bit after we recorded one of our episodes. We were like, we're going to do this every week.

And then we didn't do that. Because you have to like edit it. I would be funny though if you would like do like a hijack Alex Rodriguez is like do whatever he's doing and just do it with you guys. See, this is why we come to you. Tom, you know? That's a great idea. That is a great idea.

You could not have thought of that. No, it's not. No, you're wrong. No, no, no. That would be the fifth documentary. We've got work cut out for us. Yeah. That's a grade A idea.

Oh. Like a, like. Grade A large. That's exactly right. Like our penises. All right. Patreon.com slash 10,000 losses where you get all of our bonus episodes, access to the Discord.

I mentioned that already. All right. Go listen to our other friends podcasts. Well, there's your problem. Bring them young money, trash future, beyond the breakers. You know, I'm going to move you guys up a little bit. Tipping pitches, radio free tote bag. No guys, no mares.

Kill James Bond. Hell of a way to dad. Sickos committee self-worshipped championship or or or bust. Or when they came on our podcast, they accidentally said championship and bust, which I like better. And batting around. Okay. All right. The big homies at batting around.

I know. I want to get the whole crew on. We've had Steven on before. I've got to get the whole crew. I feel like it would, they're like, you take me and replicate me. It would be kind of like that. That energy is there. Yeah.

All right. Anything else to say guys before we get out is there. Yeah. All right. Anything else to say guys before we get out of here? Nope. Stay healthy. Be kind to other people. That's all I got. All right. Anything else?

Any last? Because Bobby says something nice. Yeah. I know. I hope the rest of you end up like Liam. Just bent over. Don't stay healthy. Just throw up. Take, take, take. Honestly, a, don't stay healthy, you know? I'll just throw up.

Take, take, take, honestly from people. That's what they say about Liam. He really takes, you know, being a social worker, you know, it's a taking job. All right. Well, with that said, thanks everyone for listening and we'll see you next time. Bye. You guys gotta say bye so that I can go. Bye.

Bye. Thanks. Bye. Thanks, because that's how I cue you. Well, it has no costly feathers or no hat with feathered filling The mother has preserved it all the while One day she made it, put it on a windshield wiper, years In memory of your father, Sean's a saint And as she bore the sand barrel, she was smiling through her tears As she placed a broad black primer on the head It's just a broad black river hard

It's driven, sprayed and torn by the careless mischief That makes a mountain green An old French cold that's so bad a thing to mourn And bridges that have never left the knee A Sam Brown belt, his buckle big and strong And a holster that's been empty many's a day, but not for long. And when men claim Ireland's freedom, A one to choose to lead him will wear the broad black bravour of the IRA. This uniform was worn by me father years ago, When he reached me mother's home, Stead on the rung I'm the same one Monday morning in the little church below When Father Mech, he blasted him just as one

And after two, some treaty I had to pardon all the ways He wore it as he marched out with the rest And as the ball was body down, the rugged heather bled Replace the broad black from her Donald's chest It's just a broad black from her This ribbon's faded torn by the cares With so many to melt and breathe An old trench coat that's so bad stained and worn

And britches that have been buried at the D A sand down belt, a sparkle big and strong And a holster that's been empty many a day, but not for long And when men claim Ireland's freedom Ah, the one we'll choose to lead them Well, we're the broad
