no this is great I love it shit so there you go there's your intro hello Temple won a game on the road we're bull eligible bro dude we're going dude there's no reason we can't like people eligible this year the temple owls won a game on the road we went from trying to do the philly special against yukon last year and having them take it back for the touchdown yeah now to uh running of the score beating the piss out of umass who he's ass more like you ass yeah they're in yeah they're in the mac so

They're not very good. Didn't the Temple schedule with the Mac a couple years? I think so. During its time in the wilderness when it was kicked out of the big the big east. Not taking, I quote, not taking the football program seriously. Being too bad at sports. Yeah, yeah. So Temple 1, Temple 1, 4 to 2 to 10.

Evan Simon Clinic. Clinic. Can you imagine? Can you believe? At Evan Simon Clinic, 1925, 244. eight yards, six passing touchdowns. Do you believe that? Jay Ducker, 19 carries 128 yards.

I mean, Casey Keeler's looking good. I don't want to say it, but what if September play? Oh, you mean beating Oklahoma? Yeah, what if it happens? I think you might have to think about ranking temple, especially if we beat Georgia Tech. If we beat Oklahoma Ranked Temple

Oklahoma and Georgia Tech Like legitimate Like you would have to All right We might need to actually rank Temple At this point Yeah Ranked Temple

Ranked temple Ranked now Yeah Yeah Get ahead of it Yeah Do the right thing Hey people

Do we have any other ranked opponents Is Georgia Tech ranked No Georgia Tech's not ranked But Oklahoma is Tulane sometimes likes to be like we are playing Tulane second of the last game sometimes they're ranked

I don't know if they'll have a year this year but yeah man I just was very you know it sort of vindicates my viewing of Temple last year where I was like there are guys who can play in this team but the the coaching was just abysmal

right you know having a successful head coach like one of the most is he not the most successful FCS coach he's up there he's top three if he's not but yeah yeah 42 I just want to put out 42 10 and next week we play

Howard yeah at home that we better win that game yeah we'll find a way to lose it yeah but like if you start off this if we lose to Oklahoma and Georgia Tech which you probably will I mean that's fine that's fine you start two and two right no one's expecting us to win that game anyway.

I mean, if we can then, I mean, after that, it's UTSA, Navy, Charlotte, Tulsa, East Carolina, Army, Tulane, and North Texas. Right. If we could go bowling. Yeah. I mean, you could at least win three more and get a pity invite. But why not go six to six? Why not do it? Didn't, didn't, um...

Well, Oliver Temple is a hell of a thing, man. I know. But you know what's funny. So when I was listening to, I was only able to listen to the first half, watch the first half of the game. I had a fantasy football draft party in this later on. But I, I have something to confess. What's that? I was watching other college football.

Of course you were. Yeah. What were you watching? And did it. Well, now I don't remember. You were the one texting me updates. It's always so grateful for them. Alabama, Florida State.

I was watching Alabama. Florida State. Oh. And I have, listen, I, I, I, I have friend of the show, Matt, to keep me informed. At least, at least Alabama lost. Yeah, but they lost the Florida State, which is like, at least the SEC took L's. I always, I always bumped about Texas, man. I like Texas.

I'm sorry for saying it. My beloved Ole Miss Rebels did not lose, though. They won against someone putre. I forget who they even played. The FCS teams were actually, like, playing well. Yeah, K-State got a scare. Yeah, I was hoping for it. Oh, they played Georgia State, almost did.

I won 663-7. I think Middle Tennessee State got beat by the FCS team. Yeah, they did Austin P. Yeah. So, I mean, it's, It's sort of I mean we are part of

the extended sick of his family I guess we appreciate that under dog mentality got that dog mentality got that dog in you Tom yeah

yeah that Photoshop where it's the x-ray of Jalen Hertz and it's just two pit bulls in his stomach yeah so like Temple Temple look at like the defense

looks shaky the first couple drives and but I think they sort of of like locked in after that and um yeah it was it was a good game um i enjoyed it um so i i was watching ls u clemson after but i i started to get tired and then i wasn't allowed to watch it and i had to watch k-pop demon hunters yeah yeah that's great i don't know what that is it sounds horrible it's a netflix movie about k-pop stars k-pop idols that also are Hunters of Demons

Right This is live action or animation It's animated Oh great It was I'm sure Charlie knows about it It was fucking Yeah but it was fucking horrible

I don't want to watch it anymore I just wanted to watch I just want to watch Notre Dame Miami today Yeah I'm not gonna be allowed to What You have to watch another anime

Probably Are the Eagles the first game of the yeah oh my god yeah enjoy enjoy Sunday football

I mean they're so Phillies today so definitely I'm sorry we could all send our condolences to Liam for suffering

yes let's do that yeah oh man it's it's uh let's see do we want to talk about uh

how kind of rough like how shitty college football is in a in a good way sure i mean that's the appeal of it yeah where i someone was just like i like i my uh my brother-in-law zack was like oh like i like not really a college football guy not really a football guy in the first place like you've met zach and he was like he's been on the show he has been on the show uh and he was like i kind of get it though right like it's it's about like how sloppy it is and i was like yeah yes Yeah, it's about, it's, it's, you know, I know like the whole like amateurism thing and we could talk at nauseam, at nauseam for that with about that. But the, yeah, there are guys that are, hey, this is like a seventh year grad student and he's like a fucking, the fucking, he's the punt gunner or some shit.

Yeah, it is, it is, it's like watching Little League in a sense. We celebrate the beauty of flaw here. Yeah, it's wabi-sabi. It's wabi-sabi, right? The flaw is what makes it beautiful. Yeah. Because when you watch professional football, I mean, it is literally the cream of the crop,

the best of the best. Right. Any of those guys, like the filter they have to go through, it's insanely difficult. And even like the bottom tier of those guys, Practice squad guys would be Yeah I still the best football player you'll ever meet

Right there's still They still might have been the best guy on their team Like when it At a you know A group of five or at FCS school Yeah And They

It's more it's more slick Like presentation is more slick That's why I like these like weird like ESPN Like oh we have like our 10th string broadcast squad covering Yeah, me too. I like that more. There's less ads.

There's a little more charm to it. Where they're just like laughing and cutting it up in the, in the, like in the press box. Yeah. Yeah. NFL is too slick in presentation. Like, and then you get guys like Tom Brady who like sucks as a commenter. Mm-hmm. And like a lot of times during the season like for college basketball and football, like they're just using the student college broadcast fee.

Yeah. Yeah, that's way more interesting. It's more charming, certainly. Yeah. You know what I thought of like doing at one point when I was really, really into the game out of the park baseball? Oh, God, yes. And I had to find, see, I think I saved on Google Drive, but I had a save that went 70 years. And I was having fun just simming the league into seeing like, I'm not being the autism allegations here.

Simming the league and seeing who become. like the champions and stuff like that. But that's interesting. It is. It was cool because I, and I set it up so like the league would expand. Like I had like a whole spreadsheet. Like this is when the league expands. This is when it becomes 162.

This is when the playoffs. Like sort of mirroring how MLB, but slightly different. Like I made it like just a little different. Like my favorite type of alternate history is where it's a real, it's clearly based on earth, but just slightly different. That's why I like the world in the Mountain Blade, Coleragia, because it's like all based on real world cultures, but there's just like slight tweaks where it's a little bit different, or Guy Gabriel Kay's books where they're set in what's clearly medieval

Europe, but kind of not. Like, here's not Constantinople. And it gives you a little more freedom to have fun with it. To play within the lines, essentially. Yeah. And going back to the OTP thing, like, I had made like a fake, like newspaper describing, like, this one team. It was Pittsburgh, I believe.

had it was I read the box score it was like the championship series the world series over right and just like getting chills reading like oh this team that never won the championship winning the championship coming from behind game seven all this kind of stuff but when you play the games this is long long drawn out way of coming at the point when you play the games they'll be like a little generated text that describes what's going on in the game like you would have like a radio announcer

right and I always thought about like just taking one of them and doing like a solo announcer thing like just like a radio play or something yeah like yeah and just reading it and maybe set it in the 50 so I could do the little the 1950s voice and do like fake ads I think that would be fun I don't know I've always

I don't know if that moment's come and gone in terms of like by interest than OTP. Right. But they always seemed fun. It's worth a shot. I don't encourage you to do it. But like it's that, it's that, yeah, like the charm of where it's not the most slick,

where it is like an earnestness to it. Right. And that's how I feel about the, whatever, ESPN 12. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, just a little bit more earnest. It's not all about like the corporate line.

Right. And the NFL, the NFL, it's like just sucks to watch too. Yeah, with the protective shield bullshit and all that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And there's so many more ads. Like, even watching. Just integrated into, even the college football ads now are just, yeah, or crazy for the marquee games like Texas, Oklahoma.

Not Texas, Ohio State, sorry. Yeah, Texas, Ohio State. And then the, I watched the Clemson, the LSU game. Like, there's so many fucking ads. And then compared to the, compared to the ESPN one, which was like no ads because it was streamed, you know, it's like, wow, this is nice. Like, it just goes away during commercial break

because they don't have the rights for the ads or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. There's, that's, that's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's earnest. You do get that.

I think, I think that's why I, I think that's why a lot of people like Kruck and McCarthy when they call Phillies games because Kruck is very earnest. He doesn't, he doesn't really. No, there's one John Kroc. Yeah, there's one John Kruk. what did he say the other day? He said something very off color

where we were getting schelacked by the Mets and he's like, oh, I shouldn't have said that I'm going to get one of those notes again. So I'm wondering how many notes has he gotten. He said something about when I forget who it was, a batter wasn't making eye contact.

And he goes, oh, thank God. We don't have to do that in the Japanese league. And I was like, what are you saying, Crook? I guess it's like a cultural thing. What the fuck? the crux say though he said something about

it was sexual it was like you don't have to take it or something like that I don't know I'm gonna get one of those notes again Jesus Christ what did he say oh my God if you if anyone remembers

please someone tell me it was during the Mets game the one where we got absolutely shall act Oh, like the 13-3 game Yeah, yeah Cruck said something in like the eighth inning And it was very

Turned it off at that point Yeah, it was very It was very funny And Tom's reaction was like Oh no Okay bud, thank you Yeah, we love John Cruck What do you say?

He said something through the Seattle game too It was like What about the guy who invented the first clock How did you know what time it was? Yeah And Tom's like, I don't know, man. But that's, that's, that's beautiful. That's beautiful.

Can we get like Patreon goal where we can do the Phillies auction and I get to go into the booth with them for an inning? Sure, man. Yeah. Can we do that? Because that would be, I would have to like, all right, keep, keep, don't, don't say anything. Don't say anything. Don't say anything. John Krug, I'm your biggest fat.

How fun mixing that out. Oh, that's Dana. Thank God for the, for the hard limiter. No. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Remember the time you tweeted me? You tweeted me about the cheese steaks and you said I was stupid?

Jack, Chuck, Chuck, Chuck. I mean, your walls. John Crook, ASMR, win. I don't know what that is. I would listen to John Crook ASMR. That's the episode title. No, but like, because I would want to, I would want to be fun. but I would like press too hard

oh I would too dude you're not alone do you ever watch my favorite it was the one time they had like some some like oh you get the chance to call the game up at the booth and the guy actually tried to call the game rather than just shoot the shit

right it's like no dude just shoot the shit with the guys don't actually try to call the game you moron you get the sedex of giant crook Tom McCarthy just be the be the second color guy just riff with crook I yeah exactly you don't need to try no one wants to hear you try to call the game Not a soul on earth once to hear of that

Because that's an actual skill I couldn't do it I couldn't do it I was listening to So I was driving home last night From the draft party Yeah And I took the long way home

Who's your wide receiver one? Shit, Wait is my team Hold on I had a boy Oh it's what's his name Cincinnati Jamar Chase

Is it the best one Just Jamar Chase bud yeah hold on let me log in let's see do I have the password what's my current password uh

shit what is my password have trouble locking in send the one time code all right let me do that real quick no Venmo you cannot send me a debit card I don't need a debit card from you I have one I have a bank account Oh

FCS oh I forgot Howard is FCS Yes Please please let us win against Howard All right here we go Fantasy Home Click my team All right Yeah if Jamar Chase and Devante Adams is my wide receivers

I got Baker Mayfield is my quarterback James Cook and Alvin Camara is my running back Oh Oh You are You are James cooked Sir

I know I have George Kittle At tight end Oh brother Okay I took the Bill's defense Okay that should be decent Yeah

I got Jalen Waddle is my flex Mm-hmm Mm-hmm Chris Boswell is my kicker I also took I also took Jalen Warren Travis Kelsey

Stefan Diggs Kyler Murray I hate you Zach Charbonne Trey Benson and Jaden Higgins Oh okay You took

Zach Charbonne Really? Yeah Sleeper hit Uh huh Yeah He's bench He's on bench

Uh that's good Yeah So uh Yeah I got a C grade Can you know how they email you Like your draft grade By I got like

Like the second lowest I got to say there's something to be said because I had the second pick there's something to be said for having the middle pick where you can sort of anticipate what's happening yeah so and I got poor grades for my running back core

you probably should have yeah I I think I'll be fine who went number one overall in your league uh Sequin that makes sense yeah Corinne is playing fantasy football at work

and she took Jamar Chase even though she wanted to take Saquan for the bit Yeah Yeah well in our For some reason The guy who's running our league He's he's doing um You get points for attempts

Ah For running for running attempts You get I forget how many Add up to a point but Um So maybe that'll help But maybe

Yeah Yeah I got to see who I'm going to put in that flex If I want to keep Jalen Waddle there, move them. I don't know. We'll see. We'll see.

I might put Travis Kelsey in there or another running back, just considering the way the points work. So they get? I might put Kelsey in at my flex or another running back. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we'll see.

But I'm, this is like the second time ever I've done fantasy football. I don't do fantasy. I don't do fantasy. I know. We talk about doing it with, with, let's, maybe next year we'll do it. I was in it for the love of the sicko game. Yeah. Yeah.

So I like how you're already. I got a poor draft grade and already you're like, ah, yeah, Tom, you, you, you suck. Well, maybe. Well, I had the second pick and then I didn't get the pick again. Oh, snake draft. So all the good running backs went ahead. Right. That makes sense.

Hang on, I got to use the bathroom real bad. Sorry. Yeah, go ahead. I drank a 32-ounce coffee. Oh, that'll do it. Yeah, I'll be right back. We'll play Flight Temple Fight in the meanwhile. We're going to be able to be.

And so. We're going to be able to be. And so on the other, I'm going to be. We're going to be able to be. Hello Hello How you're doing?

Doing a podcast Oh, that was That was fun What, doing a podcast now? that you're, you know, doing self-deprecating joke. No, no, no, no. My poop was a mistake. Ooh.

It was just, there was just a lot of it, frankly. Well, that's usually what happens. Yeah, coffee. Are you a coffee guy? I can never remember. Oh, yeah. That's what I thought. Yeah, big, big time.

Big coffee guy. That was, like, the worst part of Ireland is the coffee sucks ass there. That's horrible, dude. I have one good cup, and it was in, that's one of the reasons I love Sligo so much. We went to, like, this, like, place that had a pour a, They were a little too hipster, but I'm like, dude, this is a fresh good coffee. I need it. I need it.

I need it. When I was a, I used to do the thing where you would take the coffee instant coffee pack and smear it on your gums. Oh, God. Well, coffee dip. I guess that would work. Yeah. What were we? I can't remember what we were talking about before.

but uh fantasy and uh yeah yeah that you got fucked in your draft and yeah all that all that stuff we uh i was i was browsing cbs sports and i saw that uh shylo sanders is considering a career change it's probably for the best yeah and i i think we can we could say you know i don't know how how much you hate the whole sanders thing i just hate nepotism so that makes me Shadur Sanders is a legitimately good player. I feel bad for the kid that his dad is Dion. Yeah. I feel bad that he got like stuffed on the browns.

Because like he's just like, I hate to say like this, he's just like I, the guy I'm really excited to watch on that I'm sad he's on the Jags is Travis Hunter. Hmm. Because he plays because he's a winds up both sides of the field. Yeah, he's going to end up playing more wide out, I think. I think so too. But he's he's really good. And like, do I think he deserved to win the Heisman over Ashton Genting?

No, but, um, I, I, he's definitely talented, good, good. Yeah, Shadr Sanders is, is, is good, but like, I think that he's just another, like, mobile quarterback. Hmm. Can't make most of his throws. Hmm. Um, yeah. I, it's, it's, let's, let's, let me, let me close this. Um, get back open to, I mean, do you want to talk NFL a little bit?

Mm-hmm. Now we're in it. Like, Eagles, so the Eagles are playing their first game against the Cowboys one Thursday. I will be in the parking lot. Hell yeah. The, I think it's going to be a step back this year. I think everyone's saying that. Yeah.

We're not going to have the same record, but. No. We still have a good offense. Still have a good offense. The defense, still going to be okay. I mean, a Vic Fangio called defense is going to be intimidating no matter what year it is. Yeah. I think we probably go with something like 11 and 6.

That's sort of what I've been seeing. And bow out in the divisional round. I mean, it depends on the matchups and everything. But, you know, if the defense can come together, I'm a little concerned. Yet again, we have another new offensive coordinator. Mm-hmm. So that is a little bit of a concern.

But yeah, defense, if we, the games that will be lost, will probably be lost by defense. Mm-hmm. You know, there's only so much you can out shoot another team. I will say, I do think if we, if we lose to the Cowboys, that's a real bad side. Yeah, I don't, I don't think, I still think I think that we're winning in the division. Yeah, I mean, Washington is, Jane Daniels is going to take a step back. Yeah.

Yeah, I think, I think we're, we're by far the best team in this division. Yeah. I, you know, I think commanders will be just over 500. Dallas is going to be in the toilet. Hello, yeah, and so the Giants. Yeah, the Giants have nothing happening. I mean, they've got what, Russell Wilson, Jamais Winston, and a kid whose name is Legally Jackson with an X.

I mean, there's been some names, man. What was the kid? This is a college football. The kickery termed the realist something? The coldest to ever do it. Is that what his name was? The coldest Crawford. No, no.

This was last night. The day realist. with a Y Oh, okay, I was thinking of DeColdus Crawford Yeah, it was like the realist something Um Sicko put it out yesterday

Oh, okay Kick return touchdown Um Um Um But uh, yeah The realist Clark

The realist Clark Yes That is a great name that that I love was that is there a guy like like named tank something too in the NFL tank bigsby yeah tank bigsby that's a great name too

you just guy I saw him come up on the on my draft board I was like I might graft this guy just for the name but uh he plays with the Jags and he went to Auburn yeah yeah uh that's a sick name oh his real his real first name is

cartavius yeah but I prefer tank I prefer a tank that's a good that's a good nickname oh Cartavius was my father's name. Call me Tank. Yes. Listen, Tank Jr.

we got the Brewers a series it's all it's going to be tough that's going to be tough series Brewers Marlins and Mets again and the Royals for some fucking reason Dodgers, dimebacks Marlins twins that was it's so weird not playing our our divisional rivals more

yeah you normally would have one more series against the Braves. The Barth? Yeah, the bars. Bars. Yeah, we have a four-game series at home against the Mets. Yeah, I know.

I'm going to the one of those games. That is going to be a... Kind of do or die. Do or die. Yeah, you have to win those. Although the Marlins did spank the Mets. You got to stop saying that. Spank the Mets?

Please stop saying that. Step right up and spank the Mets. Don't say it like that. Well, I'm thinking about one. met that's all oh yes um yeah we're six games up at the time of recording we'll see so who gives a shit college football's back yeah college football's back right um i have a question for you which would be a funnier day for trump to die labor day or nine eleven nine eleven yeah like it's not even close right that's like like because you

you know what i would think because he was like he still believed there's like I saw them. I saw the Muslims. They were dancing. They were in New Jersey. They would actually be dancing. I too would be dancing. Alongside of us.

Yeah. On 9-11. I'd be doing the horror on 9-11, if you will. Yeah. So, so, you know, let's, was it, what is the stupid thing for Tumblers? Like, like the charge, re-blog the cast. Let's, let's, it's like an online witchcraft joke. What?

You like, like the, like the time. Tumblr thing to charge the spell. Then you'd re-block it to cast a spell. Oh, okay. All right. Yeah, that's normal of you. Yeah. Cool.

Yeah. I have encountered Tumblr in my time. Sorry. Yeah, I know. Let's see. What do we got? Speaking of the politics. Mm-hmm.

Fun septa, please. Yes. Fun septa right now, actually. Did we talk about Jeffrey Lur? in all of them should be like advocating. Yes. Jeff, you were with her. Yeah, you were with her. Come on, man. I want to be able to take the fucking the train that got damn into the city

and not have to leave like the Phillies game at seven because the last train's at eight. Right, exactly. It's ridiculous. Anyway. Hey, you want to get into listener messages? Sure. All right. So we had a DM. This is actually a text message to the, you can text message

the voicemail call online. It's from Papps from Glenside who had, I think had texted us once last year listening to the app had to stop baking zucchini bread to stand up for the anthem surprise at the end of the episode. Solidary for whatever

keep up to go work, you too. Thanks, Paps. Do you know what I put at the end of the episode? I do. I saw it circulating. Yeah. If you didn't listen to it, I did throw the Soviet anthem, the spicy version that Paul Robeson sang.

where they didn't cut out the part about Stalin. Anyway. Right, we got... Khrushchev was a right deviationist. It's true. There's no lie. I should put in the audio of Jonathan Briggs going, it's real. It happened.

It's true. All right, we got Charlie. Charlie called in. Let's listen to Charlie's voicemail. Hey, guys. Hey, Liam. Hey, Tom. It's Charlie from Roxborough.

See how I go first there. Recapping two Philadelphia Union games. Our first one, the street with Red Bull did end at 16 games. A little bummer. Two Saturdays ago, the Union went to not currently called Red Bull Arena. Next to the Amtrak Depot in Harrison, New Jersey. Basically gave up one goal. after Bruno Damiani got a penalty saved.

Basically, same kind of goals had been given up, everybody watching Ball Side. And their cross comes over the middle. That ends that, but they did go into a game this past Saturday home against Chicago Fire. One goal in the first half by Ty Berebo, and that exploded for three goals in the second half. with Kai Wagner off of a free kick, then Donnelly Jean-Jacques, and then finally, Milan Olavski gets his first lead goal, his 11th of the year, for the Union to win 4-0. They're back in the first place. They were out of first place after the Red Bull game, but they're back in the first place.

Good. The entire Eastern Conference, and even the top of the Western Conference, is going full crab bucket. Everybody's seen everybody. There's now currently six games left in the season. The Union will be at Cincinnati this Saturday. So, yep, it's getting there. Later, fellas. Kai Wagner's a racist one, right?

Yes, he is. Yes. Yes I hate Germans Nah This is your Vikings do not know How to put a beer

Yeah well That guy's dead So Yeah Or he might as well be to me All right Well RIP

No Rest to piss Yeah rest and piss You won't be missed All right We get I believe this is a new Patron Carl

Called in twice Let's listen to Carl Hey, what's going on, guys? First time caller, long-time listener, Carl, he-him. I say long-time listener. I started listening a couple months ago, but I'm a truck driver, so it's pretty easy for me to like listening to a backlog of episodes in the short period of time when I'm hauled to people around with the answer.

So anyway, love the show, love what you guys for doing. Shout out Liam and the WIPP gang. Love that. Shout out you Tom. Pay the fucking teachers more for the love of God. Hell yeah. I don't know shit about Fort for the best part. So, like, listen to this.

Neither do we. We don't fucking either, so they don't think. Although I will say Philly sports opinions in a black barbershop doesn't always go over to hell, but at least it's something. But I didn't want to say you guys won't have a dedicated, like, motorsports calling guy, so I want to be that guy. And just kind of covering the news real quick for anybody that's interested. Yesterday, the second American entry in F-1 Cadillac announced a driver lineup.

I saw this. I saw this. I saw this. both times and start Jeff Perez. Pretty set line-ups, two veteran guys. Both have leads. Both have been part of a lead organization, so I'm pretty excited about that. Hopefully America can finally win in Formula One as a constructor

because God knows whatever Gene Hoff's ass is doing ain't going to work. The NASCAR playoffs start this weekend. Last weekend, the race at the Daytona end of the season. Ryan Blady came from like 14th in the last couple laps to win. The guys of modern day they learn hard as far as play racing goes. There's a bunch of legal shit going on. Michael Jordan might end up losing his team in NASCAR. If you guys didn't know, Michael

Jordan, you don't own team in NASCAR. I can know that. Over some capitalist legal battle bullshit. Yeah, a lot of people think that this Thunder from Down Under this Kiwi, Shanevin Gizberg, who's from actually

New Zealand, are curious to see who's going to be a first round exit out of the playoffs. He's won four out of five road courses this year, which is just an insane performance. And he hadn't been that great on Oval. Of course, that team he drives for isn't that great on Oval this year? So we'll see how that goes.

I'm excited to the playoffs start this weekend at Darlington. So at school, F1 goes to Xandor Zavut. I can never pronounce that. They go to the Dutch Grand Prix, so it'll be exciting to see if over the break if Red Bull finally fix his shipbox and that should start winning again and make it even more boring. If not, it'll be exciting to see if Lennon Norris who continue his bottle off and lose a championship that he just had to

walk through a door to get or if Officer Fiatry can keep up his dominance and steal a championship from his teammate. Anyway guys, love you guys, love what you do. Shout out, Postmane Wookie, he recommended me to the Patreon and you guys so, yeah, whatever do you guys do? All right, we'll talk later.

All right, thanks, Carl, I actually called back in real quick. That's good. We do need a motorsports guy, so... We do need a notice of a guy. It's kind of a shame that we have an arena arena football league guy and not a motorsports guy. I know, Wookie does fuck with motorsports too.

Welcome aboard, Carl. It's good to have you. Your badge is in the mail. Here you. Actually, you actually pay more for beer at the bar. It's weird how it works that, but it's the only way we can get imprinted. Anyway, so car called back in real quick.

Hey, what's up guys? It's your friend of neighborhood truck driver again here, Carl. I forgot to mention, maybe you guys can help me out. I, uh, I enjoy baseball, like watching it. I don't know shit about it. I root for the closest team to me, which

is the Astros. I love the Space City aesthetic. I've been to a game there. It was a minute a stadium a couple years ago. And I just like, you know, I love the colors. I like the team. I like watching them play. I just don't know shit about anything. I understand

the basic concepts, but I don't know anything about it. And then I also root for the Nationals, which has been a painful experience. this year. I went to a Natch game on the 4th. They lost by like, fucking, like, one to 11 to fucking Boston. That sucked. Um, but yeah. So, I mean, if you guys have like a, a PDF, if you can send me of, like, how to understand, like, all of the, you know, abbreviations and percentages and understand, like, the, the meat, potatoes and baseball, I'd greatly appreciate it. We could do that. Anyway, um, yeah, uh, go throws, uh, go net.

No, no. But Kyle Larson, go T-shirts. I don't know. I don't have anything else, but I wanted to include it in my first message. I didn't get it all out in the first try. You know, a rookie mistake. So anyway, guys, great show.

That's all good. All right, bye. Not the Astros, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you're going to listen to this podcast and we welcome you aboard, you are now a Phillies fan. Yep. Get some, some dirt in it, Carl.

Listen, I understand, like. I had nothing. I could also listen to Carl talk all fucking day. I got to say this I didn't hate the Astros until the whole world's the cheating thing I had no beef against the Astros they did have a cool aesthetic

I mean I don't fuck with Houston really that much but you know I had no real issue with them I did I always I liked the tequila sunrise jerseys they had back to the day yeah yeah yeah and like they built the team like through tanking which is infuriating but they did the bed

the front office is the best in the or was the best in the country It's just, like, annoying that, like, that's the culture that resulted out of it. And that weird shit with, like, harassing that Sports Illustrated reporter. Yeah. When they won the ALCS. Yeah, though. They're not, yeah.

Yeah. It's not my, it's not my favorite. They're not my favorite. No. But in terms of, you know what I'm thinking of is what would probably really help is if you looked up, it's sort of like a guy to baseball. look up a guy at the baseball scoring, and they, that's where you'll learn, like, all the little, the little, uh, war and stuff.

Well, not war, but you'll, good luck calculating war on a score sheet, but you'll learn, like, what's the other one that I, that always fucks with me? Oh, yeah, and slugging and park adjusted. I mean, you, yeah, yeah, anything that's like a weighted stat you can't do with, like, score sheet, there's, those are, those are like lengthy calculations, but like, batting average is stuff you can you can calculate easily um but looking up like a base like like even scoring a game um you can look up guides to score a game um and they'll teach you all the basic like what a beat what b is based on balls it's a walk you know right and like the difference

between like a players like a player's position number you know you know you know pitchers, you know, one, catchers two, first basis three, for some reason. And then second basis is four. Then shortstop, which you think would be five is not. It's six. Yeah. Fuck you. You get nothing.

Yeah. But you'll learn all that. And then, you know, oh, six, four, three, double play. Scoring that on a card. Oh, suddenly now I realize, yeah, shortstop, second base, first base. But there's a lot, there's a lot, baseball has a lot of terminology. There's a lot of slang. I know Wikipedia has a glossary.

It's very long. There's a lot of stuff that you won't need. Like, you don't need to know every idiom right away. You don't need to know what a can of corn, a Texas leaguer, a frozen rope, all that stuff is. Those are just like sayings. Pounding a guy, high and inside. Yeah, it's very sexual. Me and Kruk.

Yeah. Yeah, Kruk likes it high and inside, I'm sure. No, there's a quote from. and it will be the show. The best way to make a guy uncomfortable at the plate is to pound them high and inside. Yeah. You say that shit without realizing it sounds,

how sexual it sounds. But yeah, I would recommend looking up like a baseball scoring guide because it'll teach you the basic, the basic abbreviations for everything. Then you can see like batting average is really easy to calculate. One base percentage is really easy to calculate. Slugging is too.

And then that's really all you need to, be a basic fan and then from there you can sort of get on it but I would I would also recommend

when you're watching a game anytime there's a phrase you don't know like write it down and look it up right I'd say that's probably the best best way is through immersion

yeah learning any new language you know probably the best we could probably look for us something to put up in the in the Discord That would be a good idea, I think.

I'm sure it's been created. I'm sure there's been created. I'm sure there's plenty of. Right. Well, we can find it. Yeah. All right, we got one more voicemail from Bobby, from Western Maryland. Very good. I've been watching. I'm just trying to finish the new season, King of the Hill.

So I guess the voice I can do this week a little bit. Hey, Tom, yeah, Liam. This is Bobby from Western Maryland. pronouns he, him. And I, just as an owner of the Green Bay Packers, I would like to just say, you're welcome to the city of Philadelphia for getting Mike Parsons out of the division.

Michael Parsons Oh my God Dallas and PennS And like he was like No fuck you And fuck Penn State Yeah I mean I got to say I love I love the Cowboys taking an unforstel

Oh yeah Yeah Jerry Jones hopefully you live forever and keep this team That's how I felt about Snyder, dude. I was boned when Snyder sold the team because it was like, oh, they're going to be relevant again, maybe. Yeah. Yeah. Very funny.

Sure. I'm glad you're happy, Packers, guys. Nothing is nothing. You did try to ban the touch push, though. Yeah. There's nothing worse than a Pennsylvania Cowboys fan. It doesn't make any sense. It's all because you're just contrary.
