He is actually going to eject a fan.
Because bad things happen in Philadelphia, bad things.
The fan jumped into the penalty box area.
Joy doesn't come to Philadelphia and stand here and dodge ice balls.
We, the Dallas Cowboys, had assassinated John Kennedy.
So, how about them Tradcats?
Dude, if I don't, like, how how are you gonna say the pope's not catholic he's actually the catholic right like he's it it it's just him man it's a uniquely american
sort of way of thinking about it that you somehow like right wing american catholic thing where you
just want to be a protest Protestant so goddamn badly yeah just be
a Protestant Amy Coney Barrett tale
uh Scalia Scalia yeah just
be Protestant that's what you want you want the
death penalty you can't be Catholic if you want the death
penalty like at least be consistent
um
I even like fucking
Santorum at least had the
you know he was like well I don't really like the death
penalty yeah and he was fine with his wife getting an abortion oh yeah of course uh but yeah i i don't
know what it is well i i do know what it is uh i i stumbled on the there's like an ex-catholic reddit
which wow yeah so it's it's about to just get off reddit is what i'm learning more and more
at this point is that like i need to stage some sort of intervention for you i'm gonna come home you guys are all gonna be here uh
we gotta get you off my wife would actually probably be supportive of that um but it's
like wife if you're listening blink twice yeah uh she not she uh the ex-catholic reddit is like maybe 10 good takes and then 90 just
reddit atheism fedora takes that's the least shocking thing i think i've ever heard yeah i
was disappointed because i was hoping it would be like people who are like you know i have this like
cultural connection and i respect like you know the people who go out and feed the hungry and
who actually like take aren't about the proselytizing and about just about doing good deeds.
Cause Catholicism requires you to do good deeds to go to heaven because that
logically makes sense.
Right.
And,
um,
I know.
Yeah.
Nah.
So,
I mean,
it's like,
I guess it's,
uh,
well,
it's not Wednesday.
I was gonna say it's track half Tuesday,
but we're recording this on a Wednesday.
Um,
but yeah,
no,
the Pope, uh, he's a vicar of Christ. so you can shut the fuck up um yeah i i i uh
i'm gonna back you this one time with this one time only theologically
right so and it's it's funny having you go in and like say nice things about the pope
i i have my problems with the pope obviously i have my problems with the roman catholic church but i i have my i have my problems with sort of any
institution the catholic church is not unique in that right um i uh yeah i i just i hate
protestants a lot more than i hate catholics i sort of have a begrudging like uh like of catholics
given that my girlfriend is one and my dad was one
before he decided that he would rather be jewish because apparently everything up into the uh
your book uh makes sense and then it stops and and then you you have to stop yeah well the the
the gospel of mark is is the only like one that actually makes sense anyway.
One for four ain't bad.
I mean, it's interesting because you were tweeting about doing the bonus on Catholicism,
which I believe was the first time you invited me to the podcast, which is probably like how long it will go from now.
Yeah, that thing has been stuffed in the desk drawer for a while.
There's a release in case there's like several like release in case of emergency episodes that
we have oh uh not not not that are recorded but like that i roughly have an outline for
and could write uh and there's what there's ones that like will just get us canceled
yeah like i i have rolling around the outline for a uh a bonus episode on communism
in case i ever have to go nuclear and release it myself no don't do that
no that's just i'll release the bonus on anarchism i'll hijack the fee you have access to it i suppose please don't do that no uh i uh no uh that would be that would be
a an interesting um uh yelling that would just be you yelling into the wind yeah no one would
listen to me and i would kind of deserve it yeah uh i was thinking of like though like you have
episodes like ready to go in case like it's like a dead hand yeah that's the communism bonus yeah no no one's heard no one's heard from the podcast in like a
week and two days and then it automatically just drops every single it's actually that's a good
idea to motivate you guys to stay on schedule is you have like the most cancelable episode
it's just you guys doing racist accents and
it's
proof that Alice actually is a cop
right now. It's your CIA
badge. It's Roz's.
I don't know what Roz's cancelable
would be. He has a CDL.
His dad's an
alleged human being.
I didn't know that.
That's known. I'm not releasing information
that shouldn't be released.
That's penance.
He's atoning for it.
Although the sins of the father are not on the son.
If it makes you feel better, his dad doesn't like him.
He doesn't like his dad much.
You know what?
Why don't we edit out what his dad does
for a living, actually?
I'll do that. I don't want edit out what his dad does for a living, actually? Okay, I'll do that.
I don't want to get yelled at.
All right, I'll bleep it in the funniest way possible.
Thank you.
His dad's a nice guy.
Oh, I mean, you know, my dad's dead, so...
He was an asshole, too.
Joe's dad killed himself and blamed Joee so like there's we got some bars
in this uh oh well my uh my uncle killed himself in my dad's house while my dad was dying of
cancer so that seems a it's rude yeah it's a little rude um yeah all right welcome to an
a podcast about what is ostensibly sports
it's supposed to be funny and and like
like good humor yeah like light-hearted
uh we sometimes are not that what are
you are you drinking beer oh you're done
aren't you yeah i'm done that's why you
were texting me at 2 30 this afternoon i
was like doesn't he shouldn't he be
working yeah i was like wondering i was
like when like If you wanted
to record early, we could have
done that.
I know you have a fake job.
I do have a fake job.
Oh, shit.
In two years,
the Catholicism bonus will be out
where you're going
to be round robin
15 minutes, which every Catholic you know,
that also, like, you'll get me, you'll get...
Well, Roz is obviously... You'll get your dad.
You can get Francis.
Corinne. Yeah, Francis volunteered.
That's... It's almost like a clip show.
Yeah. I just... I need you people to come on
and record fragments for
us and then make Ross put them in post,
which I'm sure he's going to be thrilled about.
Yeah. He was annoyed
that
the episode I did had the animations,
which meant that the video quality had to
be much higher. Yeah.
So here's the thing
about why I don't feel bad about that.
Now, I love Ross very dearly, obviously.
I built that man, that computer, so he could render as fast as possible.
And he plays fucking Factorio with it.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
I'm just like, he's like, oh, I'm going to have to do this.
I'm like, that computer is specifically designed to do that he's got he's probably running a a computer that he made out of conveyor belts in
factorio though so yeah i've i've been in his room and i can confirm a lot of belt driven machinery
in places it probably shouldn't pay uh yeah he's gotta watch the hair sometimes, man. Yeah, well, that's why he got a haircut. Welcome back to Roz Fancast.
Yes.
So tell...
All right, never mind.
I'm not going to make that joke.
We're not the fan fiction.

the last one but whatever um about what we want to do for the $3, hypothetical $3
tier. Oh, yeah, yeah. We can talk about that.
Yeah.
Shit. And
let's see. When you're listening
to this, I'll probably be in Los Angeles.
Yeah.
City of Angels.
Speaking of Catholicism. All right.
Baseball. Let's talk
about the Phils. We're talking about right. Baseball. Let's talk about the Phils.
Talk about the Fightins.
Let's talk about the Fightins.
Why won't this goddamn Minnesota Twins bootleg stream work?
You have.
Oh, you know what?
It doesn't work.
MLB TV on the YouTube TV, it doesn't work unless you have their out-of-state package.
It's fucking stupid. That's state package. It's fucking stupid.
Very stupid.
It's very dumb.
Fuck MLB TV.
Fuck baseball for trying to kill the sport.
Um,
but let's talk about the Phillies real quick.
Um,
Phillies had a nine game.
I'll be right back.
Corinne just got home.
All right.
I'll pause.
All right.
So,
uh,
we're back after that short pause.
No,
no,
nothing died.
There was no podcast. Corinne came in to visit. came in to visit and she just got home from work yeah and we were just saying bootleg stream of the
day kansas city royals versus the san francisco giants uh go look at gabe kapler admire his
physique um yeah we got a two two bottom of the fourth to out one count one man on base.
Who's on?
Who's on first?
I don't know who's on first, but San Francisco is bad.
What's on second?
All right.
Oh, all right.
So Phil's nine game win streak.
They and then they pooped their pants.
They pooped their pants against the Dimebacks.
Then they won again against the Marlins
and then they pooped their pants big
time yesterday against the Marlins and then they won today.
Walk off. So yeah, it's
night game win streak. I'll fix a lot
of your clubhouse woes.
Yeah, it turns out Joe Girardi sucked ass
so much. He was really bad.
We've talked about how how much impact
does a coach or manager have and we
kind of said it wasn't much and then
but it turns out when a guy
when you know a guy is not willing to have your back
like that does a lot of damage
I wonder
if if he was like really micromanaging
their at bats
because there was a
lot of like takes on pitches that we you'd be like oh shit
that's a meatball down the middle and it might have been like you're taking the first strike
no matter what or you're taking the first two no matter what right and i i don't know but they
seem to be really happy the the bats are eating up the bullpen still sucks oh the bullpen's terrible
all gas no brakes yeah and and cory can able yesterday he lost his job as the closer. Thank God.
Fucking Tex Ass.
That's where he's from. He sucks as a player.
He also sucks as a person. He's an anti-vaxxer.
He hasn't come
straight out and said
a bag of shit,
but he's made
Instagram posts,
like making fun of people and stuff like that for,
for says,
yeah,
he got it this year.
Fucking dumb ass.
Oh,
he looks like a real piece of shit too.
Oh yeah.
You could,
you just like look at him.
He's like,
Oh,
that,
that mouth says that's,
that mouth says hard are like,
you could look at his.
So,
um,
I think someone would like,
would like,
uh,
saw his mom at a game and she was wearing like a,
you know, like a, like a biker fake.
Was it one percenter ass jack percenter shit?
One percenter motorcycle.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah. OK.
Motorcycles.
Yes.
OK.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You can't mix up your percent.
I'm sure there's plenty of three percenters.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Shit.
Yeah. So he sucks. He lost aers. Yeah. Shit. Yeah.
So he sucks.
He lost a job.
Phillies win that.
We're only I think only two games over 500 now.
The Nats are terrible and you get to feast on them for like 20% of your remaining game.
Oh, we're one game over 500.
Oh, well, yeah, we play the Nats, the Rangers.
And then I'm going to see the padres in san diego
so that's awesome are you going to mexico am i going to mexico no i'm not should i go to mexico
yeah mexico's rules uh all right so you know how like i'm in denial of an anxiety disorder
yeah the idea of going to like tijuana great city. Great town. Is it? I'm sure.
You just hear bad shit.
The trauma from growing up
in a very horrible...
Like having one of your friends killed
when you were 10 years old.
Hearing gunshots and anger.
Many times.
Understandable.
It kind of fucks with me a bit. That's why I had a hard time
in Puerto Rico, despite how nice the people were
like you know one knuckle
hit will ruin it for whatever true
but yeah we're going to LA we're going to
go into San Diego
I'm going to get drunk as fuck on
$7 stone IPAs at
the San Diego Zoo and laugh at the
Tigers dude that's a blast
that's you that's you right have you been
yeah I have been. Not as an
adult. I was as a kid. Oh, dude, it's even better
as an adult. And I want to
visit the
take the, what is it, the fucking gondola
that the Marines fucked up.
That's a
hell of a way to die
episode where they talk about that.
But yeah,
so Philly's doing good. Don't have a So they talk about that. Um, but yeah, so Phillies,
Phillies doing good.
Uh,
don't have a ton of other shit right now,
though.
We should be in the market for a center fielder and a couple bullpen guys.
And maybe,
maybe like a,
like a number six pitcher,
like a guy who could be a long reliever,
but stretch out,
um,
spend the money,
spend the money.
You're,
do you know how,
do you know how much they're going to spend with the luxury tax
right now? How much?
$600,000.
That's how much they've got or how much they're going to spend?
That's how much they're going to spend at their current
luxury tax. Okay.
And that's what they were worried about it.
Go over. Yeah.
Forget the Cohen tier.
Make it the John Middleton tier.
Show to owners meetings doing the Manziel hands thing.
I will say this about Middleton.
I don't know if you've heard this.
He actually goes and hangs out in the cheap seats
during games and talks to fans.
I mean, that's good.
Spend more fucking money.
Yeah, and spend hours not like 15 minutes
like he'll talk to somebody for 30 40 minutes and uh i was like i think that's pretty maybe i guess
maybe the tipping pitches guys were right that we could do worse for owners yeah um yeah we could
have whoever owns the uh oh god the family that owns the cubs. That's hideously. The Ricketts. The Ricketts. Fuck the Ricketts.
Fuck the nuttings.
Oh yeah.
Fuck the guy who owns the Reds.
Fuck who any mid-market team that just does not treat their players.
Well,
like fuck them.
Absolutely.
All right.
So basketball,
your beloved,
your beloved Boston Celtics.
One game away from elimination because they won't stop shitting in their pants.
Yeah, they got doo-doo pants.
They got doo-doo pants.
It's making the floor real slippery.
Yeah, they got doo-doo pants.
It's frustrating.
But we made it to the finals and the Sixers didn't so at least we can hang that on them i guess al horford like burnt himself out that first game
yeah the magic finally wore off the al gore al horford hero ball magic finally finally waned
i no i i hold on the al gore hero magic that you almost said like i'm now imagining
al goreford senator from tennessee with a mean skyhook oh man that uh there's a there's an
alternate history timeline called eyes turned skyward which is about if al gore became president
is it good uh well it's also based on like on if NASA hadn't gone with the space shuttle,
if they stay with capsules.
Interesting.
Yeah, it's kind of interesting.
It's a much more realistic,
like America turns to social democracy in the 90s kind of timeline.
It's an interesting breath of shot.
Let's check it out.
Yeah.
The spaceships are the coolest part.
That Apple TV series, was it called For All Mankind? worth a shot check it out yeah um the the spaceships are the coolest part that that tv
that uh apple tv series uh was it called for all mankind kind of steal someone's shit
like there's some plot points they've taken from that all right uh basketball uh hardened contract
uh so interesting to see i don't know i i've we're only hearing rumors but like some people were saying like what's his name uh trader spike eskin it's just saying we should uh we should prepare
for having a five-year hardened deal please no i don't please give us like three years
130 million please days too old two years in the club option how How about that? Yeah, let's do that. Hey, what year?

No, fuck it.
Supermax.
Give him the Supermax.
Give him the Supermax.
Supermax. And he retires here as the strip club emperor Zario.
He's bringing Delaware Ave back, baby.
Oasis is coming back.
Somehow Gets Hot wins three titles in a row.
All the strip clubs in Philadelphia
are legally required
to rename themselves James's Place.
Yes.
It's like Nick Foles. You have
one blaze of glory and you'll never
pay to drink in the city again.
No. Nope.
Nick Foles has a statue,
doesn't he? For the Philly Philly? Yeah. With the Philly Special. Yeah. Nope. Dick Foles has a statue, doesn't he? For the Philly Philly? Yeah, with the
Philly Special.
Yeah.
Love our big dick boy.
All right.
We're kind of skimming through the news real quick.
There's not a tonics outside of a baseball.
We have a serious topic. We'll get to it.
But hockey.
Oh, who fucking cares? Not the lightning.
That is my response. I said root for the roof to
collapse. Yes, absolutely.
Although the avalanche have cool colors.
The avalanche are fun.
Give them that. They score a lot.
They win a lot of games like nine
seven. All right.
I hate the lightning.
I hate their bullshit
nonsense. I don't believe that Florida deserves
to exist.
Do you believe it should be absorbed into its neighboring states? Give it to Cuba.
Okay, I was going to say.
Give it to Cuba.
Or give it to Cuba.
Oh, yes.
Yes, please.
You can see what my face I'm making right now.
Why is everyone calling me a gazana?
I'm just imagining the headquarters of the Miami Herald being co-opted for the new communist, for the Florida branch of the Communist Party of Cuba.
I just, let me think about that for a second.
Just, oh.
Beautiful, beautiful.
And even you're on board with it.
See?
This is left unity.
Oh, fuck.
All right. I genuinely
wanted to buy a Los Barbudos
jersey and
my wife said,
some Cuban will fucking gank you for that.
You cannot have that.
All right.
So Flyers,
who the fuck wants to coach them?
I don't. wants to coach them? I don't.
Would you coach them?
No.
I mean, yes, because I think it would be hilarious if they gave me a coaching position.
All right, boys.
We are not going to play with a goaltender.
You earn a goaltender when you score goals.
You get up three to protect the lead.
That is the only time you guys get a goal i like this
brand of hockey uh what i i i ironically think that's an interesting idea uh i'm just i i'm just
going down the road to the uh to the phillies organization for all my tips yeah goaltender by committee hope you fuckers can skate
oh hell yeah so
so
land hockey the union
I guess it's
the midseason break or something
the midseason break if you played 14 games
I don't know I don't know how it
works sorry
our stalwart duped up Charlie
lightning I'm sorry
let us know when there's a
game we can watch also let us know if you
made it home safe after those two voicemails
yes yes he did like
something the other day so I think he's alive
hooray
no one's heard these
voicemails yet because that episode's not
all right
but no one's heard these voice fields yet because that episode's not out all right but
uh
we should probably go to it
I mean why not
it just sucks to get to
because it's in fucking Chester
let's see
we're playing
all right hold on hold on a second
okay
so Miami's team's called inter miami
are you fucking serious all right the larping is going like between that and and and real
salt lake that's that's all right whatever all right uh fuck football You got the name wrong. The guy's name is Devin Allen. Really?
I just, my brain just went to
Devante. That's Devin
Allen. He's 27 years old.
I know it's been a while since I've played football,
but I played it my whole life. Allen said in
a video interview with NBC Sports
Philadelphia from his apartment in Annapolis,
Maryland. Yeah.
Wait for the next part.
Wait for the next part. Hopefully, it's going to be
like riding a bike.
He's going to die out there.
He was a four-star recruit.
He went to Oregon.
The last time he played
football was in 2016.
He suffered.
He blew up his
ACL and MCL.
Oh,
uh,
he wanted to return to football.
Then COVID.
Yeah,
I'll do it.
Uh,
but if he's still that fast,
you know,
I mean,
dude,
so he ran an eight point,
a 12,
a 12.84,
110 meter hurdle
I do that
dude my
my talk about ACL and MCL
my left knee wouldn't last the first
yeah no my legs would snap in half
and it's like that shit the
the one guy said like I think I can score
20 as long as nobody's defending me
and the other guy tweeted back
you would die in the first minute of the first quarter.
Yeah, that's us.
In the MLB, the show,
there's new announcers this year in the game.
And then one of the canned questions
that comes up with the announcers
that you hear like 800 times
because every time you play is,
do you think you could get a walk in the major leagues
and the main announcers like if
they gave if they if
the other team had a false scouting report
I was like all right at least that's that's honest
yeah yeah
but yeah the yeah shit
so he impressed
the Eagles
Mike judge against Oklahoma type of shit
or against Texas in the Red River
rivalry where he on
purpose dropped a fake
scouting report Mike Leach did
hoping that the other team would pick it
up and they did and it took them ages
to figure out that they were being bamboozled
it's like
the fucking leaving the orders in the cigars
and he didn't use follow up on them
during the Civil War because he at first
because he thought it was a fucking
or am I mixing my stories up on them during the Civil War at first because he thought it was a fucking...
Or am I mixing my stories up?
The orders in the cigars.
Was that Antietam?
I have no idea. History podcaster.
Shit.
Orders in the cigars.
Not ordering cigars.
Oh, Jesus Christ. Civil War.
Special
Order 191. Talk about
yourselves.
So, yeah, during the Maryland campaign,
it was recovered by Union troops.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, for the Battle of South
Mouth and Antietam. Oh, we did take it seriously.
All right, cool.
Something good that McClellan did.
The one thing good that McClellan did.
Oh, he failed
to fully explore it because he thought it was a trap
which General Halleck
proposed all right fuck Halleck
all right
I don't really hate him that much
he's just whatever
anyone who's not Sherman or
Sherman Thomas or Grant
yeah don't have the highest
it was kind of like Ambrose Burnside
yeah yeah Burnside. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Burnside school and the German
communist one. I forget what his name was. Yeah.
Yeah. He's kind of cool.
All right.
So we'll see how this kid goes, but
that's that's an insane, insane hurt.
I mean, I guess if you could line up the opposing
players spaced out
like they were make him do a were. Make him do a hurdle.
Make him do a hurdle.
He could hurdle down the entire field.
All right.
So, over a half hour in.
That's good.
Sort of some serious shit that we touched on in the last episode or two.
I can't remember.
Last episode, I think.
Yeah.
So, Deshaun Watson.
Yeah.
Let's talk about this and the new york
times investigation i do want to say just probably don't listen to the rest of the episode
if you if yeah for trigger warning for sexual assault yeah rape all that sort of thing coercion
that all that sort of shit that the rest of this episode is going to be talking about that
we'll try not to be too um you know right but still um
let's give sort of a high level and then we'll get into the allegations themselves and
yes what ramifications there are if they're any there aren't spoiler yeah um yes capitalism it
sucks uh so deshaun watson is a player for now now the cleveland browns i forgot i had forgotten
about that for like half a second because it was drowned out by you know the other shit that was
going on right and signed a deal with 230 million dollars five years guaranteed and baker mayfield
asked for a trade and they said no.
Well, the rumor about that is that basically they're expecting him,
Deshaun Watson, that is, to be suspended for the entire season.
Oh, yeah, that's a good outcome.
But we'll get to that because that's something you get for sexual assault. All right.
So there's 24 lawsuits alleging sexual abuse of him or by him of massage therapists
and they sort of like dribbled out over over time and there's um basically demanding women
that were giving him massages to perform sexual acts um sometimes it was during the massage. Sometimes it was like trying to follow up with them later.
But,
you know,
he also touched them without his permission and,
and there was some coercion there as well,
or he would touch them with his genitals.
Like it,
not a good,
not a good look to put it mildly.
And I said this the last episode that you're not like
entitled to sex no just because they're massage therapists like right and and i i the thing i've
i've been saying and this is i know in our culture we have this sort of we do have the skepticism of
assault claims and all that right uh which obviously i believe women would be like 24 fucking different people
are watching the same thing yeah come on now yeah there's a there's a you have to take like
the body of evidence and things that come out and you know i i always say yeah you believe
you believe women and obviously you know know, I don't know.
It's tough.
It's tough.
I think it's sort of one thing you could do, though.
And this is, you know, like I always get mad when they suspend cops with pay.
Right.
Because those are supposed to be public servants who are at least hypothetically supposed to serve and protect the public.
Right.
Uh,
a football player is not that,
but the NFL should start doing that is like the second the NFL hears about
this,
they say,
okay,
we're,
we're putting you on the,
the camp playlist until our investigation is complete.
Yes,
you will receive your salary and it does incentivize the teams
to not fucking trade for these guys.
Because it's like,
then we're just paying you dead money.
Right.
I mean, it's...
I think it's a problem
with no good answers, but...
Yeah, it's...
I'm trying to formulate
my thoughts.
Yeah, there needs to be an investigation. You need to take these accusations seriously.
There's a lot of them and you have to let things
bear out. Obviously, everyone's entitled to their
due process or whatever. But when you're working for
the NFL, your private employer does not is not
beholden to the same you know like we could say innocence of proven guilty all we want but like
that has nothing to do with like his job he doesn't need to be throwing touchdowns right
while he's being sued by 24 women exactly um and um he's he's he's claimed he's innocent this entire time uh very doubtful that personally um i'm sure
you are too oh yeah uh two grand juries declined to charge him but uh we'll get into that because
there's some interesting stuff there too um and the nfl really has yet to make a decision right
so uh which i misspelled here and they've been more or less silent on it yeah and the nfl really has yet to make a decision right so uh which i misspelled here and they've
been more or less silent on it yeah and the browns have been like completely silent the browns came
out when they traded for him and said we did our due diligence we talked to representatives for
these women um you know this that the third thing and then it came out well no you didn't
they didn't do that they they knew what they were doing the whole time they they wanted their guy they got their guy and they're willing to eat whatever
penalty it is for him to play yeah and and we should be clear that despite being a pro worker
podcast we're not a pro fucking sexual assault product podcast oh absolutely if you do that you
don't deserve to be in the fucking league kind of end of story not at least for me no um it's yeah we're pro worker but if you're accused of 24 women at your job of sexual assault
um yeah you're gonna go on um indefinite leave until they figure the fuck out what's going on
that's that's how it should be like you should like obviously do process, whatever. Fuck it. I hate common law anyway, but have an investigative investigatory judge.
God damn it.
Although in this case, I'm not sure that would have helped.
No.
And the NFL should not be investigating itself ever.
It's exactly the cops.
No, it's well, in this case, the gray mare did an investigation.
And the New York Times, I guess, is...
Whatever.
It sucks when it comes to politics, but I guess they still have some journalists on board.
And you got to give credit where it's due when they do actually do some investigation, right?
Yeah. you got to give credit where it's due when they do actually do some investigation right um yeah so a couple different facts came out about this case because it's it's way more than 24 lawsuits
like you have 24 lawsuits but that's not but there are 66 women he booked massages with
correct in an 18 month period now i wonder why it would be 66 different women, Liam. I really, really
wonder why it would be that many different women.
Because wouldn't you be like,
oh, this massage therapist is really good. I'm going to go to them all the time.
Yeah. Isn't that how that works?
If I were in search of a massage, yes.
Yeah.
So that's real fucking
interesting that it's 66 different
women. In an industry that's
like, I don't know how it is in
texas how that license sure works but it it's sort of a sketchy industry yeah um that i had
i had i they're passed away now i had a family member who was very fond of uh you know the
massage parlors that were just fronts for you know uh sex trafficking sure uh type of
shit and that's that's common like everywhere like you have these like places that are essentially
massage but he was going after private like like he said he wanted to support black businesses so
he was going after like independent black massage therapists and i don't like i said i don't know
what the licensure is um there was there was something that came up that you know he didn't care about how experienced they were that wasn't
going to that positions it's like you'd think you'd want to find the most experienced like
highly you're a professional athlete like yeah it's like caring about his body and the peak of
performance yeah there's actual you know like real like certified massage therapist a physical
therapist who like have to get licensure from their state board like and pass exams so so they don't actually kill people like chiropractors do
because chiropractic's fake um yeah come at me come at me guys uh if your chiropractor
listens podcast please leave um but yeah uh and he acknowledged that he had he had sex with three of them so he straight up acknowledges that
but this this power
dynamic thing you know that's exactly
right it is the power dynamic
and the whole like masquerading behind
like a do good act too and so
it's so calculated
yeah like that's another part of it that's
really fucking gross is how calculated
and manipulative it is
it's predator behavior and it's it's predator shit yeah because it's also like the fucking texans
don't have a massage in-house yeah yeah like fuck like the every team's got their own in-house
medicals guys they all have their fucking physical therapists like Like, come on. Like, like Jesus Christ. They, they all do.
Um,
so,
um,
going further,
there were,
there were women who,
who didn't sue,
but when they were offered to talk anonymously,
they,
they,
they came out and said,
right.
There was stuff there.
Apparently there was like 15 women who testified in his support.
So there might not have been sexual impropriety in every single case,
but it wasn't a lot of them.
And sort of our point here.
Yes.
Right.
One sexual assault is too many.
Exactly.
In this case.
And we have at least 24,
you know, possible ones so
where things start getting fucking real real shitty is when there starts to get rumors
out on social media i believe it was instagram uh and the next day w Watson found an NDA in his locker.
Right.
That was put there by the Houston Texan security director,
who was a, I forget what he was.
He was like an ex-FBI guy or something like that.
So they gave them an NDA.
That's a normal thing to do when you're getting a massage.
Yeah.
You know how you've had to sign NDAs to do get massages before,
you know?
Uh,
yeah,
of course.
Yeah.
That shit's for like working for like fucking,
I don't know,
like Boeing or whatever.
Right.
Like that,
that shit's not for getting a massage that you're,
yeah.
The do not disclose my,
you know,
the,
the shape of my fucking, know traps please don't talk
about my weird feet yeah uh shit and and so he started using it as a condition for pay so he
said if you don't sign this i won't pay you so what does that sound like to you, Liam? Coercion. Yeah, that sounds like coercion.
Yeah.
Because it is coercion.
And I love this statement too that during
deposition, Sean Watson
said, the Texans weren't aware of the
massage appointments at the hotel that
I know of.
They weren't aware that I know of. That's great legal
ease there. That is great legal ease.
Yeah.
So that he knows of. They fucking gave him an NDA they know
what's going on like like I'm sure
that teams have
someone assigned
to like you know their social media or whatever
they probably also in their legal department
the idiot monitor yes yeah
just have a sense of what the fuck's going on
with their players, right?
And teams know who's drunk driving.
Teams know all this.
They know this shit.
So here we get to that connection I want to talk about, which is his defense attorney.
His name is Rusty Hardin, who's a former prosecutor. And before the grand jury, and he held a meeting with him, Watson, in the Harris County Sexual Crimes Prosecutor, Jonas Stallings.
Yeah, you do that when things are going well for you.
Yeah, you know how you have a meeting with the prosecutor, and then your lawyer has 12 phone calls and over two dozen text messages with the prosecutor.
That's that's normal.
Right.
Oh, wait, it's not.
It's normal to have some contact, but not that much.
And even if you're looking at you have to have some contact.
Right.
Right.
But but for for for all of this, there was there was one one of the things I saw in the article was like his lawyer texted Stallings like right after the deposition was like anything crazy.
Something like that.
I'm paraphrasing, but like.
Right.
That's a little.
Obvious.
Suspicious.
Yeah.
It's crazy, though, how these grand juries declined to prosecute him criminally.
Yeah.
Right.
Right.
So no criminal charges filed against him uh both times that
happened fucking insane how that happened you know like there's there's no backroom buddy buddy
i wouldn't want to insinuate that either because this is active legal matter but it's just it's
interesting interesting is the word we're gonna go with yeah makes you really say hmm
yep all right so uh yeah those about how about those ramifications um so this all came out in
the new york times uh the browns are still silent on this so fuck them they like again they clean
they did their due diligence and they didn't they no they didn't investigate shit they don't care
no um it's it's it's no it's absolutely fucking insane. Like, and, and the Texans like, Oh, sneakily dropping an NDA into his fucking locker.
Like, yeah, that's endorsement.
Like, you know, that's endorsement.
You know what's going on and you're fine with it.
Yeah.
And you're giving him like a legal thing instead of telling him like, Hey, knock it the fuck
off.
Yeah, dude.
Which is what you should be doing.
Do you want to go like like we can send you out to
to fucking vegas and we can get this done legally if you really need to the fuck like someone not
under we don't care we don't care your job is like football as long as you do it legally and
on the up and up we don't give a shit yeah we will provide what you need to have provided yeah
do you want to go to the netherlands or whatever like sure we don't care like like like whatever
like like like if it's in vegas i don't
care it's between two consenting adults it's legal like right like there are we can find you
an escort or something like but i you know it's like dude like i like i don't know if he just
gets like like it was like when robert kraft got busted i was like you couldn't find anyone else
to fucking do this yeah i i part of me thinks it's like the whole fucking like the chase is
like his thing oh yeah you can't like diagnose that.
But whatever.
Like, that's what it sounds to me.
It's like, like I said, it's predator behavior.
It's going after like, yeah, this person won't be a victim.
I'm going to go to another one.
And I'm going to find like keep finding new networks of people like where, you know, it's
like the Catholic Church, like you send them to a new parish, right?
Like find people who don't know about it um you know the the and the houston texans are
like like like fuck them to begin with like there's a shitty organization like um just just
fuck them like like like for this shit like this tolerating it like whether it was that it was the the security director of his own volition
like fuck him or if it was the team knowing about it like you're telling me the general
manager didn't fucking know about this shit no like come on they know everything yeah that's
like how parents already know you're sneaking out they're just letting you do it right uh yeah i
or in class i know you're trying to copy off your neighbor, right?
And I'm just, you know, you just need to win right now.
Or you're copying off idiot and I want to let you fail too.
But, I mean, this is like a deep-rooted problem in the NFL.
Like with guys like, what's his fucking name on Kansas City?
Tyreek Hill.
He's on the Dolphins now, but yeah. With guys like, what's his fucking name on Kansas City? Tyreek Hill.
He's on the Dolphins now, but yeah.
The NFL had the audio of him beating the shit out of his kid the entire time.
Dislocating his kid's shoulder and all that kind of stuff.
Or the Adrian Peterson shit.
Which we've talked about before.
Or the punter for the
Giants who beat the piss out of his wife.
And there was basically,
well, you don't want him to lose his job, do you?
Yeah. Is this league the worst when it comes to this stuff like out of out of the major sports league yeah at least it's the most visibly the worst yeah i i feel like i feel like this
this has to be like it's absolutely like money money is all that matters justice all that matters
and you know honestly i think i think it's like knowing NFL.
The NFL knows their demographic and thinks a lot of guys don't care about that.
Because there'll be guys who are like, I don't give a shit about what he did.
As long as he can throw a football, I want him on my team.
And you guys want him to come to Philly over this shit.
Yep.
You meet a Jalen Hurts who's the nicest human being being ever who calls his grandma every day or something like that. And like, fuck, get rid of him.
Deshaun Watson.
I want the rapist.
Yeah, exactly.
Alleged rapist.
Makes you fucking insane, dude.
They don't they don't give a shit.
And so that is the question that begs the question then like what should
be the fucking punishment here
like they're expecting him to be suspended
or whatever like I feel like
he should be out of the fucking league
like if you did this at your fucking bank
or whatever the fuck you work at
at the grocery store whatever you do
like what do you think the penalty
would be
you're not getting out of the jury and I'll like you're not you're not getting out of the grand jury
I'll tell you that
but you're not having a job
like no like no you wouldn't
and you shouldn't be
treated special just because you can throw a football real good
I mean they should
a team righteously would disavow
the guy say nah he's done we're cutting him
fuck him
and you know
shit like you can't ever find another quarterback like really right you you can find another
quarterback don't worry yeah yeah you'll be fine like like i don't know fucking just take the league
nationalize it um fire all the owners into the sun uh fire deshaun watson into the sun with the rest of the assholes
uh i don't know right to the sun yeah but suspension's not enough it's a and it's and
if he gets away with all this shit it's abrogation justice like it's just you're not you're not
entitled to sex dude just and you will find people who want to have sex with you you're
deshaun watson i get right you're a fucking young nfl guy like
you will there's you have no problem getting laid dude like like if that's like your thing like it
seems like it's not like it seems like it's the the circumstances around it i don't know dude like
pay some escort to do that with you like like like find someone who's into it like doing the role
play or whatever like like you don't have to fucking like that's the thing it's like it's like his position right
like having all this money and having this this this sort of power that the money confers and
that being a quarterback starting quarterback confers allows him to and the team enabling
him allows him to do these things that if you've got like this like kink like like you will find
other people that also like you will find someone or you
can pay someone who will
pretend to have it right
so
yeah so fuck you dude like
I don't know I don't know what else to say
about that like it's no
and the up to the point
where I you should contract the fucking
Texans over this yeah
shit what were they before they were the third new the point where you should contract the fucking Texans over this. Yeah.
Shit. What were they before? They were the
new fridge. No, they were always the Texans.
They were always Texans. All right. The Oilers were the
Titans. Yeah. Now
I don't know. Get rid
of the Texans and give Mexico City
a team or something. I don't know. That'd be cool.
Yeah.
I would not want to play my home game
away games at Stadium Azteca. I'll tell you that right now. That would not want to play my home game away games at stadium,
a stadium as tech.
I'll tell you that right now that,
that,
that would fucking rock.
Yeah,
no,
not as a,
as a home team.
Yes.
As an away team.
No.
Yeah.
I imagine that's,
that's like coming to the link on steroids.
Yeah.
Um,
especially,
especially,
I mean,
you have like the,
the Eagles will wear their white jerseys at home when it's hot out?
You've got to do that for the first two months.
Oh, man.
Just play shirtless.
Only pads.
Shirts and skins.
I'm going to tell you, there's certain segments of the population who would turn into those games.
You'd get a lot more people watching that you wouldn't expect
um
but yeah uh the browns should be
fined you know
the browns i i i figure
the browns should basically uh
lose all draft picks from
here till about 2026
mm-hmm uh i'd be
fined you know a couple million
dollars at the least.
Yeah.
Who fucking owns that team?
Who owns this
shithead team? It used to be the
McNair's. Oh, it's his wife.
Oh, great. Great. Yeah.
Great job. Fucking
assholes. Their uniforms are
lame. Their logo
sucks.
Fuck the Texans.
Go be an independent country. See how you do.
Yeah.
Enjoy your power grid that doesn't work.
Yeah. Yeah. Adoring the heat wave they're having right now, too. Though,
if you're listening to this and you're a Texan,
the leftist,
Solidarity. Just decent human beings.
Solidarity with you. Fuck your government.
Shit.
Dude, I don't know.
I think at a certain point
we should probably do
a longer form thing on
just overall...
The NFL's so-called justice system?
Yeah. Just how shitty it is.
It really is. There's, cause it really is there.
There's,
I mean,
I know like baseball players and baseball fans like are tend to be
conservative,
but like when it comes to just being shit bag owners,
the NFL has got the,
it's got it on lock.
It feels like,
yeah.
Like just being a bad person,
like on top of it,
like,
I don't know.
They just don't give a shit.
Not at all.
Yeah, it fucking sucks.
So I don't know.
We got nothing in the mailbag to follow up with that.
