Sure. I could do that. Um, that's the earliest episode like naming that has happened to the podcast. I have a question, right? Yeah. We're dudes. We get testicular cancer. I mean, it's possible.

Hopefully not us. Hopefully no one, but people are going to get testicular cancer until we- Right. Testicle havers will do that. That'll happen. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I got a question for you. I had this conversation with my wife yesterday. It's been weighing on my mind because she's like, you know, you check for breast cancer. It was just like, oh, you just know. And she's like, I'm not like feeling my boobs. I'm like, I'm not feeling my balls that often either. Like, I'm not just like rummaging down here. I like the look of concern that is passing over your face.

You don't you don't do the ball check every once in a while. I guess I guess I like I'm just like, oh, yeah, like they're there. Right. Like, what am I supposed to be? Feel just a lump. Yeah. am I supposed to be feeling? Just a lump? Yeah, you're like supposed to feel around. You have like that one spot that's extra like, because it's where like the tube comes out. Right, yeah.

On the back, I guess it is. Yeah, okay. And yeah, you're supposed to like, I don't know, like when I- We're doing testicular cancer awareness day. Yeah, you should definitely check your balls and check your breasts too. If you're a breast ever. Um, and, uh, I actually know, uh, a man who survived breast cancer too, cause it can happen

to men. Yes, it can. Um, not just a plot point of an archer episode. Yeah, no, it can happen. It literally can happen to anybody regardless of gender. Yeah. I watched an ad for colorectal cancer. I'm like, all the cancers, like I like no cancer is the cancer you want.

Right. But I'm just like pancreatic cancer. Fuck no. Yeah. The cancer. Fuck no. Now, we had a we had an online friend of ours in my back in my game, FAQs, they die. They die. He died of Crohn cancer like 19. What? Yeah.

He was like, guys, I'm bleeding on my ass. Should I go to the doctor? We're like, yo, dude, go to your doctor. And then we didn't hear from him for two weeks. And then his sister got his computer and logged into his stuff and saw us and she commented. She was like, hey, this is so and so sister. And yeah, no, he like, here's the obituary. Like, I'm really sorry.

It seems like he was on this a lot. So we're like, fuck dude. That's awful. I'm again, I know it's, it's a long time, but I'm still sorry for your loss. Yeah. Well, I mean, it devastated. Yeah. If you bleed now, your ass, please go to the doctor, please go to the anything that you're not supposed to be bleeding out of.

Yeah. No. But like when I was like when I when I first like. Started, I guess, purity was noticeable by my body, a book that was like, here's everything that's going to happen to you. And I didn't get that book. Yeah. And like one of the things was like the testicular check. And I'm just just plodding around in here. Yeah. Well, the other the other one, like going through the fields of Aberdeen. Yeah, it's like one of those things that stuck with me.

What's Aberdeen? Right. What's the what's what's the woods we fought in in our dens? Our dens. Yeah. Aberdeen. Yeah, I knew it wasn't right. Yeah, we're the woods of Aberdeen, Maryland, man. Yo, what's up, guys? Check your balls, guys. Yo, yo, yo, we were partying in Haverdegrease, right? And then we got a little too drunk, so we're going to try to get some crab cakes.

And we went to Aberdeen, Maryland, and we were at this. Haverdegrease, yeah. We were trying to get to the proving ground, but they wouldn't let us in. Named for Aberdeen, Scotland. Yeah, we were at the Aberdeen, Maryland, and we were at this. Yeah, we were at the Aberdeen, Maryland, and we were at this. Yeah, we were at the Aberdeen, Maryland, and we were at this. Yeah, we were at the Aberdeen, Maryland, and we were at this.

Yeah, we were at the Aberdeen, Maryland, and we were at this. Yeah, we were at the Aberdeen, Maryland, and we were at this. Yeah, we were at the Aberdeen, Maryland, and we were at this. Yeah, we were at the Aberdeen, Maryland, and we were at this. Yeah, we were at the Aberdeen, Maryland, and we were at this. Yeah, we were at the Aberdeen, Maryland, and we were at this.

Yeah, we were at to Aberdeen, Maryland that we were at this day. Aberdeen, yeah. We were trying to get to the proving ground, but they wouldn't let us in.

Named for Aberdeen, Scotland. I hope. Scotland, yes. This has been your public health awareness check. Oh yeah, check your balls whether in Aberdeen or not. Check your breasts if you're a breast saver. Yeah. Literally everybody. Yeah, I saw an ad from Eli Lilly that was like,

the power is in your hands because the woman, it like feels a lump in the shower, right? And then she goes to the doctor and like the final shot is her on classic abroad, like clearly talking to her doctor. I'm like, that's very powerful. But also, like I like I worry that I'm going to get cancer. It's going to be like stage three because I'm just like, I don't know what balls feel like. Hmm. Yeah. You just don't know what like like is this is this a lump or am I just

a lump? I guess if it's tender, that's when I panic. Well, do you ever have like the no get the pimple down there? Oh, I've got pimples on my ass and my balls. Have you? I've got pimples on my ass and my balls. Have you? Uh, I've had like two or three. Oh, and you're like, oh. And I was like worried that I was like, oh, it's just a pimple. Like I did have a pimple in my ass the other day.

That was a new one. That's like not right. But just like the human. Everybody to the puberty, too. Yeah, the human condition is fucking weird, man. The human body is gross and weird. That's what I'm going to tell my kids. I'm going to be like, listen, we're not doing body negativity, body positivity, or body

neutrality. We're doing a fourth thing, which is body gross. Yeah. If this is made in God's image, God's fucking disgusting. Yeah. God fucking. Yeah. Let me make all these tubes and shit like that and like weird like, like just glands

that have pores that secrete. Let's look. I'm a secretion secretions. Yeah. Secretions. And let me make those discs in the back that only only get blood when you like lay down, you know, they biologically not doing so good. Yeah. God, God, God did not design us with powerlifting in mind, I guess.

We're bending over at the waist. Yeah, we. Yeah, it's it's a. Yeah, intelligent design, my fucking ass. Yeah, it's not grown toenails. I know. I know that it's not. Listen, I am more willing to outright buy like creationism that I'm willing to outright buy intelligent design. Oh They like I just like created shit just plopped us down. Yeah. Yeah, like it obviously I don't believe that I believe in the theory of evolution that like we have the common ancestor so that so forth because I'm not six

Right, but like no, God, as many things. I guess if you look at it and tell design as well, God has a sense of humor. I'm more willing to buy that. Yeah. Let me let me make the vast difference. Go over the pubic bone and then back down into the balls as opposed to directly connecting so that you can get like, yeah, like testicular torsion. Like, great.

But you can get the testicular implants. And if I get one, I'm going to have the jewel in there. I'm going to have like an eight ball. It's going to be you know, you have a window so you could see it. It's going to be like my computer. Yeah. Right. Like it's going to be like that. It's going to be you're going to have LEDs. It's gonna be say you're gonna have LEDs

That's gonna be RGB dude. I don't have RGB for what that's worth The only RGB component I have in there is RAM from Corsair. I Guess mine does do RGB because I could push a button and it changes color. Do you have a pre-built? No Do you fucking have a pre-built pre-built? All right, take that take that tone hold on I'm coming with you. Does this look like a pre-built? No, it looks way worse than a pre-built Good it should Take me back. I'm scared Where is it?

It is really fucking quiet.

It's like the quietest PCI. It's so quiet that like when I first, when I got this new graphics card, I was like, holy shit, that's like the, what's it called? The noises that like the graphics card will make. Oh yeah, like coil wine stuff. Coil wine. Yeah. I had never heard coil wine because I never had a quiet fucking computer before.

Oh, yeah, it's only when you have like the tube. Like a, it's like a squeeze tube looking, John.

Yeah, it's whatever you get in that squeeze tube thing. I don't know if it's a Gatorade or not. So like a bot, like a squeeze bottle, she's a squeeze tube. So squeeze squeeze. It's a fucking gogurt. Squeeze tube. You just just mainlining gogurt on on on live on air. Are you guys not doing that?

Have I been doing this wrong the whole time? Just keep. Yeah. Oh, where did who was talking about? I'm going to be accused of stealing a bit from Nick Mullen again. I think he was talking about Gogurts in his pants or something like that. Someone on Comtown talked about that. Someone on Comtown talked about that. Why do you sound so weird?

I don't know. I mean, you don't. I'm just harassing you because I'm actually buying time while I copy all these torrents over. Hang on. Yeah. Well, Comtown came out with like a last reunion, like a little mini reunion. That's kind of fun. Yeah. And they said, oh, it's over. Please unsubscribe for our Patreon. We're done. So. I wonder how much they were still making.

Uh, quite a bit. Talk about fumbling the back. If I was making like 60 grand a month or whatever they were doing, like split between three guys, I mean, they were up there for a while. And all I had to do was show up for an hour and they don't even edit it. Like I'm going to keep going. I'm going to keep going until it ends. What the fuck? You don't have to work, dude. And they stopped.

I guess I got sick of it. But like. That's a weird thing to do to me. Yeah. Yeah. So if you want the show to never end, please get us up to 100 grand. Yeah. Well, yeah, well, we'll we'll make it work. Yeah. Well, I had a discussion with my wife about that, about well, there's your problem.

She was like, yeah, like there's discussions for future tours, obviously that are ongoing. She's like, yeah, like, listen, I, I really want to, like, I support you in all your dreams, but like until you guys are like making like 500 G's a month, I was like, we could probably sell out, make 500 G's a month. Like if I do ad reads and she's like, yeah, cause the patrons will love that. I was like, fucking patrons like goddamn fans. God damn it.

How dare how dare they expect no ads? Oh, well, the patrons will give a shit because they're getting the Patreon version. Oh, no, they're going to have ads in the Patreon version, too. I specifically will inject them. Oh, you bastard. Get the ones where they do the local ads, where it's like. So then you'll get like politics ads.

I'm not doing that if I can ever avoid it. Oh man. Yeah. Who was doing that? Who was doing that? It was one of my fitness podcasts was doing that. I think Stronger by Science, which RP is over now, but like, it was like, shit dude, like, can you not?

And then like the guy who was running that, Greg Knuckles, he is a leftist. He's like, oh, you're getting right wing ads. All right. Let me take a look at his algorithm here. Because yeah, he's a comrade. All right. Hello. Welcome to another episode of 10,000. 15 minutes in baby. Yep. The only Philadelphia sports podcast that exists. I'm your host, Tom Payne. Pronne pronouns are he him With three psycho host yay You just said pronouns are he him the decorative sentence or your pronouns I'm your host and my pronouns are he him is not what you said. What did I say and pronouns are he him?

My pronouns are he didn't say my at any point. Oh, so I Mark the business a mark. The minute the business marker. Yeah. Each I am. I'm I'm Liam. Oh, my pronouns are here and him. And mean, a pronoun is best. Hey, he made me to go to this mean a call.

I was. I'm doing this with the. He made me go to this meeting. Call us. I'm not doing this with you. Yeah, if you want to do linguistics, chat, make it. You know what actually would be a good bonus when we like truly don't have any material. But the the the Liam and Tom linguistics hour. Roz would would fuck with that, too. Unfortunately, I can confirm that he would. Yeah. Well, I'm it's funny you say this because I'm like getting back into my con

language. I've been working on this. I don't know what Esperanto was to my wife the other day. Yes, the language of 60 year old anarchist math teachers. So that's perfect for you. Yeah, no, like Esperanto, I don't know Esperanto, but I fuck with the idea of it. It's kind of cool. I don't like all the sounds they have. I don't like all the sounds they have is a specific.

It's a phono aesthetic issue. Yeah, sure. So I'm working, what I'm working on is I'm trying to flush out Etruscan. Okay. That's the starting point. So, the Etruscan language is attested, but there's not a lot. We don't have a full like paradigm for verbs. Nouns we have pretty well, but I want to, I'm also going to steal shit from other languages

like pre-Greek, which actually might've been a language related to Etruscan we don't know. It's just lost the history. There's also some weird similarities with proto-Turkish. Don't tell them that. Oh, I know. Oh, they already say that. They already think. Anything that's anything close to, you know, we're actually Turks. Turkish nationalism is so weird because you were just like, I like Turks. Can I learn Turkish. They're like sure just don't be Armenian Heard whatever they're weirdly they're weirdly like I

Don't know. It's a weird. It's a it's like a blend of civic nationalism and actual nationalism There's a weirdness to it of like Bioshock infinite speaking of nationalism Yeah, I love I love how they have to make that do the lib thing and make the freedom fighters also bad. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Both sides like my fun video game. I hate that so much. Me too. Make an unga... I mean, that's like Disco Elysium. The fascists are unambiguously bad. You could play the fascist side out and it's just depressing and horrible. And like your character is constantly taking psychic damage from saying racist shit. And

then you can go the communist, like there's a liberal route, there's a communist route, there's like a centrist route. And the communist route is very wistful because it's like, it's like, it's, it's it's shown in a way it's it's it's it's also like shit man dude it's gonna be really fucking hard if we're ever gonna try this. Um and it's sort of like our best shot was in the past and we blew it. Um but yeah I don't know if you've ever played it. No, I have never played Disco Legion. I mean, all my friends have. Yeah, but I haven't. You should. I will.

Like I'll get to it. You know what I mean? It's like playing. It's like playing a literary novel. And in the book. Well, yeah, there are non literary novels. That's true. I'm being hurtful. Yeah, like, you know, you have like J.R. Tolkien and Patrick O'Brien versus, I don't know, J.K. Rowling. No, I mean, or

what's wrong with Harry Potter? And nothing, nothing. It's just I just hate women. And we're back on come town. Yeah. Yeah. Hell yeah, dude. Where's, oh, I do have the riff. Thank you.

Thanks. No, man, that would be another bonus is like books and shit. Books and shit. Books and shit. Because you're such a biography guy. Yeah. And I'm definitely like literary genre fiction guy. Yeah. And I'm, I'm, I'm definitely like literary genre fiction guy. Right. It's like people, Oh, Oh, Tom, you like, you like fantasy. No, I probably

don't like your fantasy stuff. I, it's, it's J.R. Tolkien pretty much the only literary fantasy writer. Okay. Yeah. I pinched my hand. Oh, this is okay? Yeah, it's fine. Do you have a boo boo? No, I have a boo boo on the other hand. Oh, I'm sorry. Yes, kissing the butter. Patrick Rothfuss, I guess, kind of was his prose as literary, but you know, finish your third fucking book. That's how I feel about Caro, Robert Caro. Where is the neck? Where is it?

Is he still alive? Yeah, he's still alive. Where is it, Bob? How million years old is he? I think he's 88. Oh, he's more than 35. Yeah, shit, he's 89. Yeah. I still have I have to yet to read the the power broker. Uh, I, uh, here's the thing.

Oh, oh, shit. William, Lord. Well, about what about the power broker? No, no, no, no, it's a good book. You should read it. Oh, I think you're saying haven't read it. No, I've I as part of my friendship with Roz, I was forced to read it. All 3000.

I the involuntary Justin Ross, the book club. Yeah. Yeah. No, I was I was talking to my wife because we listen to audiobooks before we go to bed, which is where I get most of my like biographies. And right now we're doing a Henry the Fifth. It's good. I forget what it's called, but it's a it's like a new biography like came out in the last year. It's the same guy who did the Plantin Jeanette. Yes, it is.

Yeah, yeah. He's been going, Dan Jones. Yeah. Yeah, I've met, he's on the radar for when I did, I'll go, cause I'll read mostly fiction and I'll dip into nonfiction. Right. It's usually history. Yeah, Henry the fifth, one of very interesting men.

Oh, for a muse of fire. Great play. Yeah. The opening to Henry V is a sick fucking play. It is. Sick fucking soliloquy by the chorus. I did the Peasant's Revolt of 1381 about Watt Tyler and all those people. So, what were you saying about the Henry V book you were?

Oh, it well, it fucks, at least for right now. Yeah. Yeah, I always pick that up. I would recommend I would recommend it to Henry V. I have not gotten through the plants and Jeanette's. I have not gotten to the Magna Carta. Or the hollow crown about the Wars of the Residents. I assume I'm going to make a Corrine Reid. That's the, well, didn't they turn into a series full of, well, no, that's a Shakespeare

series called the Hollow Crown. Yeah, he did. He did a book called the Hollow Crown. Oh, gotcha. No, it's interesting. I fucking love all that shit. Oh, it was The War of the Roses, but they retitled it The Hollow Crown, I guess as a tie-in.

Ah, okay. Yes. Also, Polish has The Wars of the Roses. Yeah. Which I have not seen the adaptations there of that. I'm bad at keeping up with TV. Me too. But I'm full, I'm trying to finish Patrick O'Brien's, the Aubrey Madren series.

That's what I thought this is. That sounds like fun. It's so good. They're a joy to read. They read like, he was so into like 19th century shit. So he writes like Jane Austen. And the dialogue is so delightful. And of course it's guys on boats, which, which is a big advantage to me because I like guys

on boats. Hang on. Yeah. I like, I mean, I like big ships. I'm stretching. Sorry. You did right. All right. Yeah. No big men men on boats. Um, I like shanties. Yeah, shanties. Although apparently the Royal Navy looked down on shanties outside of really specific conditions. I'm sure they did. They thought it was like something that like it was like merchant sailors were up to. Oh, okay. But like I was reading about Patrick O'Brien, he was insane in his, he would go and read

19th century medical books or 19th century stuff. So when he talked in the characters' voices, he would say things that they would think is correct. Right. Which I always thought was, I mean, the verse of millitude in those books is off the charts. Right. Anyway, so no guests, Fuck you announcements. No announcements.

Oh, we did a we did a bonus with Jordan the history football part three. You can go to page.com. So it's 10,000 losses. Listen to that. Voicemails calling 267-371-7218.

Try and keep it a little less than that. Two minutes. Let's try to keep it to the timer. Maybe write something out and say it beforehand before you call. I'm not singling anyone in particular. You're all guilty of this. You are all guilty of this. You actually are. All of you. All of you motherfuckers. Every single person who's ever called in has at least done that once. Yeah. Outside of a handful. You people are insane.

I mean, we are. I appreciate, you know, the people have spoken and they want Liam. But I do appreciate meandering again because I don't want to talk about the Bruins. This is a Bruins podcast apparently. Oh, this is a Bruins podcast apparently. Yeah, the whole fucking team, they traded Marshand to Florida for a second rounder, dude. Wow, that's fucking crazy. They blew up the team.

They shut the fuck up. They blew up the team. Man, man, that's... Dude, that's... I'm trying to calibrate my Pacta Cat. Yeah, it's fucking crazy. Fucking crazy what they're doing. Elon Musk should ****. God damn it.

Now I have to edit it. Well, actually, no. Him telling him to do that. Elon Musk should **** in front of his in front of Donald Trump. 26 minutes and 12 seconds if you need it. Elon, what do you got? What is that? Why are you pulling that out? 26 minutes and 12 seconds if you need it. Eli, what do you got? What is that?

Why are you pulling that out? I do. Maybe you would say, what the fuck? No, like he doesn't really curse that way. Like, I don't know. Oh my God. That's fucking good. I'll bleep that and I'll think this is about his dick.

All right, let's go. Let's talk about it. All right. So Baroon's are dead and Bede also dead. Bede's out for the rest of the year. We've been saying this forever. Maxi's dead too. Maxi said, dude, the Sixers, this is a tank here. We're done. Yeah. No, 21 to 41. Tank tank tank.

Roll out the tanks. Roll out the tanks. We're going to go tankies now. Yeah, you are now. I know. No, no. I have a nice resistance lip. Oh, that's right. Yeah, we're libs. The fucking Clementine. My favorite thing about my mother.

Clementine commander in chief. I saw that one today. Christ. My my mother is so accustomed to like kind of like not like like downplaying, I guess, like her like, genuinely like, very far left political. Yeah, hiding her power levels. Right. And she's like, yeah, like, I just consider myself a liberal. I'm like, I've

heard of, I've heard the things you say about like, elected officials. Yeah. I've heard the things you think about like, anarchist theory, which is correct and good. But the conversation I remember I had, she's like, well, what happened to the SRA? She was talking about the SRA. I was like, well, they started letting liberals in. And she's like, oh, what the, you know, what the hell is wrong with you? Like, you know, she was very insistent that that was, I was like, yeah, I know that was a mistake.

It wasn't, it wasn't up to me. It's people who've added them. I wasn't in charge anymore because I gave up power. Shouldn't have done it. Should have gone full Stalin. No, ironically, yeah, I should have held on to power for a little longer. Whatever. Anyway, I don't care.

You're carrying a little bit hot bud. Well, you know, it was something I created. It was working really well then, you know, it was something I created. It was working really well than, you know, libs libs and then, you know, people trying to recruit people for the polycule. These are real people too. If you're listening to this, like, come on, man, what are you thinking? What are you thinking? Come on, dude. Everything's got to be about your dick, dude. Yeah. And then you get my dad, who's just like, my dad used to do this thing that I always thought was funny where for his more inflammatory political opinions. He would write letters to the editor to the York dispatch and sign my mom's name

Just sign a fake name why your mom's name just because he thought it was funny I don't know he got his feelings hurt when we we sent the invitations to the wedding. Yeah, because he was like oh You put mama's doctor. I'm like, yeah, that's correct. And he was like, well, why didn't you put like William C Anderson Esquire? And I was like, someone don't know you like a little bit. I just remind you that like mom has like literally three times the amount of degrees you do. She's a real doctorate, not a fake law doctorate. No, not a fake law doctorate. And also it does say a PhD next to her name. Yeah. Dude, I'm, I'm, I'm so done with eddies. Eddies. It's besides Jill Biden, besides Jill

Biden who could get it. Well, yeah. Like I've, I've talked about this before. Get it from an R1 or else I'm not, I'm not, I'm not listening to you. I'm not calling you doctor. You're not a doctor. You're an eddy. I, I know people who are barely literate who have ed. I don't know how. I guess I just paid enough to whatever, you know, Gwyneth Mercy or whatever it was. Oh, Gwyneth. Yeah.

Yeah. I don't have a lot of respect for that. Dude, the tea. Oh, it doesn't matter because there's not going to be education anymore anyway in this country. Corinne's siblings went to Gwyneth, not the university. Oh, okay. Um, yeah, that's exactly the face you should be making. Yeah. Well, if they think I'm only going after Ed Dees from there.

Oh, I'm going after the high school. Fly the Lancaster. See, I said Lancaster. All right. That actually has to get bleeped. Oh, wow. Because we're talking about a school. Yeah, dude, that's your that my bad.

Oh, my God. That's my fault. That's how I lose my teaching certificate. Sorry. That's how you make you. I have to be the eighth Michael and WTWP after that. Oh, no, you have like it's a fucking like like, oh, did you get fired? All right. Come on, WTWP. It's like the new version of unemployment. It's a WTOI make work program.

It's a real thing. When you when you get like fired in Pennsylvania, like and you go to career link, they're like, well, you can't go on this podcast. There's like 10 of you and no one's using a camera. So you just have to guess when it's your time to jump in. And no one's using a camera, so you just have to guess when it's your time to jump in. WTYP Makework program is my greatest accomplishment as a human being. You're really this generation's FDR.

Yeah, you've got to the WPA, now get ready for WTYP. P-A. A. Well, there's your problem. What was it? The Works Progress Progress Administration. Yeah. Yeah. So go back to sports.

The pundits have been talking about indeed taking medical retirement. Can you explain what that means for like like contract reasons? Do you know? So I looked a little into it. Don't quote me on this. But like it would be that the team basically would say, all right, this guy remember that Chris Bosch had to do it with those blood clots. Yeah. You like this guy's like, can't he can't play basketball anymore because of his injuries.

Like he barely, I mean, is there a case of immature? Uh, if that's so, they still owe him his salary, but he comes off the books for cap space. That's exactly what I told Corinne. I am so proud of myself that I knew that. That's that's what I saw. So I think that that's true, because like that's, you know, I couldn't go to do it still. She was she was like, well, that's nice of them.

I'm like, that's not nice of them. That's earned through the CBA. And like I would say, don't if he's only going to play half the year, just sit him until fucking playoffs the playoffs Yeah, so like the last week before the playoffs like I would really like to see him be genuinely like Like basically play like 50 games a year whatever he feels comfortable. What other doctors say right 50 games a year just to like Give us an arbitrary number and the doctor say, right? 50 games a year just to like. Give us an arbitrary number.

And then, yeah, just be like, all right, we like take the we like take the drapery off. Yeah. And it's like fully healthy to wake up the game. Yeah, right. Yeah, he rises out of out of like the like the coffin of the fucking opera mask. Yeah, with the with the fan. I was going to say the Phantom of the Mask and then like that that did the the the the the the the the Opera mask on. I was going to say the Phantom of the Opera mask and then like that, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,

the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the is. And like, I'm aware of Phantom of the Opera as like cultural institution,

but I've never seen it. I've never heard anything from the soundtrack because my mother listened to regular opera. The well, it's not it's not. I don't know. Do you know what? All right. First off, do you know what the Phantom of the Opera's actual real name like his name is in the. I have no idea, dude. It's Eric. Can you give him a cool name. Zorro.

Dude, I don't care that it's licensed. Zorro. Something, something like. Big Z. Something French. Claude. Yeah, no. But.

Even Jacques kind of works. Yeah, the music, the, the, like it's like the Phantom of the Opera theme, whatever it's called. Like it's the like, it's like the Phantom of the Opera theme, whatever it's called, like it's the overture or whatever. The Phantom of the Opera theme. There's a metal. Yeah, there's a a metal version of it. I heard that's pretty good. I was looking at Wikipedia and I thought it said Sarah Brightman and Steve Harvey

version. I was like, wait, hold on. Holy shit. And there's Phantom two love never dies, which I'm aware of. Oh my God. So my mom was so in the musicals. I had to watch cats. With TLS's butthole? No.

Well, I've just, she, that's, oh, I didn't know about that. Yeah. No, I did not see the new cats. I saw the original, like, like the one on cassette. Just go play memory and get real sad. Yeah. That's what my mom would do. Or magic magical Mr.

Verstoffelis. I didn't know it was a book, too. I don't know. Cats kind of. Oh, my mom got us all into that. I guess she loved Andrew Lloyd Webber. Yeah. So I don't know. Hey man, I don't think exposing kids to musicals

is a bad thing. Like I think that it probably makes you smarter and more well-rounded. Yeah, I mean, it's, yeah, she was also like in the Yanni. Oh, OK. The composer. Yeah. So that was my first concert was Yanni. My my mom listens to classical music and some some classic rock.

So the Rolling Stones. Yeah. And my an opera and my dad listens to Irish rebel music. And Gregorian chants. I see nothing with any of those genres. Yeah, I have people like, oh, like your parents, like because my parents would take me to concerts when I was young because they're like, yeah, live music is really important. Like supporting these people is really important for like arts and culture and shit. And they'd be like, yeah, it's not for me as I'm like getting like ran across the

barricade at like a metal show. They're like, yeah, did you have fun? I'm like, yeah, it's not for me as I'm like getting like ran across the barricade at like a metal show. They're like, yeah, did you have fun? I'm like, no. I mean, you've you've I've been in the mosh at like in the pit at fucking like Ensepharim or like a monomarth. But I will also go, dude, like they did the force the of all these four seasons last year. I was like, shit, we gotta go see that. When I say I wanted to see Mahler's planets, but I missed it.

Ooh, that's a good one. I'm a big fan of the room. Like I it's weird. Like classicals, like the actual classical period is fine. I like stuff from there, but I like I fuck with like the Baroque and I fuck with romantic. I like to go for Baroque. Yeah. All right.

Hold on. Thank you. Yeah. Ooh. All right. Hold on. Yeah. So like, I like a lot of like the like Baccarini and like Bach and then Vivaldi and those, and those string quartet shit. Oh, sure. Yeah. I fuck with that. But I also fuck with like, like, you know, late Beethoven, Chakovsky, Dvorak. Yeah, I like Chakovsky. So what's it? What's the what's the English guy? He's one of my favorites.

Ralph Vaughan Williams. Don't not familiar. I mean, I'm sure I've heard it. You have you have because you have Master Commander. It's the fatality on a theme by Thomas. Yes. OK. Yes. Okay. Yes. Okay. Yeah.

All right. So back to Joel Embiid. So what are we going to do, man? I guess we just tank. This class is not looking to get Cooper flag. Just I've done the cello team. So please, Josh, sell it to him. So they suck.

It's horrible. Flyers are putrid and also selling off. Are the Flyers putrid though? I mean, they're like mid. They're 27, 28 and 8. Yeah, they're mid. I think a lot of it is just... I mean, they're second to last in the division.

And the Bruins traded Brandon Carlo. Great. Follow me up to Carlo. Finn McHugh is giving the word. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do that. I'm going to jump, Finn McHugh is giving the word. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do that.

I'm going to, I'm going to jump, man. Is this should happen right now? No, I haven't like 20 minutes ago. Oh, that's a great song. Oh my God. Everybody is just, I, everyone's gone. So the Bruins are not a team I long or recognize. This is still my posture.

Knock Jersey didn't trade him. And I still have a Bobby Orr jersey. Bobby Orr, the greatest hockey player in the history of hockey. Roosters of the fighting stock, would you let a Saxon cock? Crow out upon an Irish rock, fly up and teach him manners. Course and swear, Lord Cadare, Fick will do what Fick will dare. Now Fitzwilliam, have a care care. Follow is your star low? Up with Albert, out with sword.

On will go for by the Lord. Fiek McHugh has given the word. Follow me up the car low. It does fuck. Yeah, dude, I love Irish rebel shit. That's old Irish rebel shit. That's fucking like 16th century Irish battles. Yeah, I actually saw on the Ireland subreddit, there was someone had shown like a C5, like

American C5, make a U-turn at Carlo. And they're just like, like, Jesus, he fucking saw Carla turn around. Yeah, the Irish, the Irish are always going for a good laugh. A fascinating people. Yeah, God, I wish I could move there. All right. Big place, Slay's gone. They play Eagles, some of the Eagles, Slay's gone.

Bradbury's gone. Maybe they'll come back. Bradbury's probably not coming back. I think they'll probably resign slightly like a one year like veteran minimum, if not like slightly more deal. We resigned Zach bond, which is good. Yeah. And we locked up say con for two more years. Yes. Yes. The highest paid by like average running back in the history of the NFL.

Yeah. He earned it the NFL. Yeah. He earned it. Yeah. Yeah. Also, if he produces at that level for two more years, three Pete. Yeah. I mean, even if he produces at like 80% of that level, he's still amazing. He's so fucking good.

Now he deserves it. We got Philly's spring training. I guess, let me look at our record. I forgot to pull that up. We got Rocks by the Tigers. Yeah. Philly's spring training record. We're like halfway through spring training.

We're not halfway, but like a third, I guess. Spring training sandings, they don't matter. They generally don't. Yeah, we're four and eight. Does not fucking matter. I think we said that's all the Zarta didn't look that good, but one outing. Interesting to see what's going to happen. I know they said that Bryce Harper over the off season, Matt pointed this out in the discord, that Bryce Harper was like willing to move back to the outfield for a power hitting right fielder. I was like, Oh wait, hold on. Hold on.

I know somebody. Who do you know? He might have a Welsh name. He might be a guy who listens to his walk up music was white guy or California reggae. Are you talking about Reese? Yes. I was thinking that too. I think he's got one more year left with the Brewers. He didn't play that well last year. No, he didn't. Bring us Reese Hoskins. Yeah, I want him back. No, we're all lefties this year. Oops, all lefties. I mean, I mean, Schorber hit we're all lefties this year. Oops, all lefties. But we've got lefties.

I mean, I mean, Schorber hit really well against lefties last year. Bryce Schorber did too. I think they're going to actually mix up. What it sounds like is they're mixing up the lineup. They're going to put Trey at the top. I did see that. And Schorber, they want batting third?

I think I saw. Dude, that's fine. Look, you get your big guy. Like, if you can get Trey on base and give him like, hey, dude. And he's speedy, yeah. Yeah, especially, you know, big like if you can get Trey on base and give him like, hey, dude, he's Speedy. Yeah. Yeah. Especially, you know, maybe give him a courage to take some walks. Get on base, dude. And a Kyle Schwab or fucking triple, you know, or, you know, he's still second base, you know, a double in the gap.

Kyle Schwab or double. Let's not. Let's not. Yeah. It's either a double home run or a strike out. Not making hustle what he needs to. He cannot. Yes, he can. Was it his wife that was screaming at him for trying to leg out and strangle him? Oh, there was Castellanos. There was Castellanos. No. And let's see what else.

It sounds like they're going to bring Painter up. It does. Yeah, they basically already said that, I think. Yeah. They said they basically expected him to be on the 40 Yeah. They basically already said that, I think. Yeah. They said they basically expected him to be on the 40 man. He did really well in the fall league. Yeah. As of today, I don't think he's played in spring training yet. I don't think so.

I think they're going to kind of try and keep him real limited. Just keep him loose, keep him them going and then bring them up. That would be interesting. It's young. Yeah, he's 21. Yeah, he is 21. He was going to Florida, dude. He was going to make the team before his his time. And John, right? Yeah. He was going to be a 19 year old, you know, back to the back, you know, starting pitcher.

Right. But it's in attended Calvary Christian Academy. Oh, yeah. Yup. He was born in 2000. He was born in 2003. Yes, 2003. Even worse. Do you know how to count?

No, I don't. That's why I'm not a math teacher. Oh, Tom. I, I scored like six points above the cut for the math practice. Because you have to be able to prove you can rewrite and do basic math. Right. So I got like a 60. Like, I think this cutting was like a like a like a 59. So I got like a 65. Well done.

But I I perfect. I got perfect on my reading. So, I mean, and my English, I actually got a certificate. I have an all-time high score. Congratulations. Yeah, in the top. I'm like top 15 all-time high score of the praxis or something like that. Social studies praxis.

So, I want to practice conduction because of that. I doubt, I'm sure others have taken my place. But yeah, that's what happens when you're when you're a Marxist, you'd know history and economics and civics. That's what that test tests. Yeah. I'm pretty good. I'm pretty, I'm pretty good at knowing what institutions need to be

hijacked by the party. I suppose that's true. Yeah. Uh, but yeah, that's like a little Philly thing. There's not like much. We didn't, there was no like huge moves in the offseason besides that. No. Desider trade.

And the guys are getting old. We got some contracts. Oh, some other stuff I heard was, you know, real Muto, maybe they'll bring it back because it doesn't look like there's going to be really much the way catching, right? In the next couple of years. That makes sense. And I would really think it's good is bringing Schorber back. I think that's the dude he's he's gotten better like last year was his best year.

He mashes. He's mashing. All right. Slopping some dogs. Yeah, slapping some dongers. All right. I barely watched any spring training baseball. I've been I've been like not posting. Like I've been not online. It's smart. It's my defense mechanism. Yeah.

Because. Yeah, the world is such a horrible and gruesome place. Yeah. And just the assholes keep winning. Yeah, I hear you, man. I've I've been on Twitter and Blitzkai a little more, but like I my screen time average for day has plummeted. It's like an hour 50 tail. That's good. I don't like it. I just don't look at my phone. Yeah, I'm trying to I'm trying to be like I read the inquirer in the morning.

Yeah. And that's all the news because I love the libs. I am a resistance lip. That's right. You have you have your paddleboards. This is not true. Your ping pong paddles. Oh, yeah, that'll do it. We hate ourselves and we can't govern. We tried nothing. We're all out of ideas. Oh, my God.

Fucking dumbest goddamn opposition. Not rise into the moment, are we? Not rise into the moment, are we? Not rise in some of the do you should be gumming the fucking works every fucking chance you get soon be do everything. They just don't just be like, we're not going quietly. We're not going like, listen, man, I would like genuinely like even like a shit like Josh Shapiro, like I liked his like, hey, federal employees just got fired. We're going to waive some requirements for you.

Yeah, well, he's actually showing. I know she wants to run for president, but like, of course he does. I Gavin Newsom's anti trans kids thing was just like, oh, great. Great. Sorry. No, I'm not going to. Seven minutes, 12 seconds. I don't do we got to cut that. No, no. Just just telling you the killers. Seven minutes, 12 seconds. I don't. Do we got to cut that? No, no. Just telling you the killers.

They say worse shit. Like it's, it's just. Yeah, this is the takes. I'm not allowed to say, well, there's your problem. Cause David bleeps me. Well, the, it's like, remember how they said that the labor party said

it's assholes over to advise. Yes. Yes. Is that like, are they, oh, well, you got's it's assholes over to advise. Yes. Is that like are they? Oh, well, you got to get on the trans stuff, too. Is that what they also said? Probably. Like, can we not bring that here? Can we have it at least so that it sticks stays with the Republicans?

I don't grow task is the word I think you want. Yeah, I want the Democratic Party to collapse. Please collapse, please. Just just just The legacy of it is is just just fuck that shit. Like let's spring up, you know You know, it would require the DSA to not be carrots to To come up in their place. Yeah. Oh, I'm saying that, um, I know some DSA people listen. Uh, I don't know what to tell you guys. Do better. And not the, the smart, the libel. I'm a member. I'm a member left unity. I stay

out of Philly DSA for my health. Um, I'm a social worker. I don't get involved. I just pay my dues. I'm unimpeachable. I just pay my dues. I feed old people. Yeah, I'm on the Discord. That's it. I'm on our Discord. Matt is Matt in here? In our Discord? Yeah. Matt, you a bitch.

Wow. I didn't say that. I typed it it but I didn't want to hurt his feelings He sent me a nice recipe today. So I'm excited for that for what? They're like sloppy Joe pizza burgers Okay, they sound like they fuck dude. I'm excited. All right Let's see What do we got? Oh We'll be live streaming speaking of college basketball, but oh,

she had the jump on you. Yeah, next week, you and I will talk about it offline. Find a day that works for us. But Thursday. Live stream some shitty game, maybe Wednesday, because I'm recording. What is your problem on Monday? Should be Wednesday. I have plans with my parents, but.

Thursday, we'll find a shit game and stream it. Okay. Do that after we record? What? We record on Thursday, so you would do that after we record. Yeah. Yeah. Gotcha. Gotcha.

Gotcha. I mean, depending on time, right? Like, because some of the really mediocre stuff is on at like 4 PM. So. Yeah. All right. Yeah, we'll take a look. We'll take a look. Right.

I don't know. The schedules aren't set in stone yet. So we go ahead. We could always record on another day. Temple basketball. Tell basketball. We're 16, 14. OK.

8, 9 in the conference. That was good. Temple opted into the house versus NCAA settlement, which I think we'll have to give like a proper treatment with what this is. But basically this allows schools to distribute up to 22% of athletic media rights, ticket sales and sponsorship revenue to athletes. And since we don't have a ton of NIL, this does help us share money. I mean, it's fair to give the athletes a share of the compensation that the university gets.

We were talking about this, I text you this theory, right? Of like why, like guys who are mad about NIL. Because I do think there is a understandable component to it. In the sense that if you are someone who's watched college sports for a long time, you are seeing something which is ostensibly like, it's amateurism. It's for the love of the sport, right?

Ostensibly. Sure. And now you're seeing capitalism. Naked greed. Come in. Now this is excluding the capitalism that did exist, right? You're excluding the part where these athletes were, I mean, yes, obviously they're compensating a form of scholarship.

They're getting paid under the table as we all know. But they weren't, you know, the school was making a lot of money. Like they weren't, like the players were like classically, not like the value of their labor was not being properly, you know, they were not being properly compensated for the value of their labor. Yeah, of course.

And now it's like, oh shit, well now with monies and everything. And it's so funny to see like these guys get like halfway there. They get like 51% of the way's like, oh shit, well now with monies and everything. And it's so funny to see these guys get halfway there. They get like 51% of the way to like, oh shit, capitalism sucks. Because I mean, in an ideal world, right, you would want the, like in a post-capitalist economy, yeah, college sports would be, yeah, you get to play with your college and that's it. And it's for the school and your locality, right?

And it's not tied to money. Right. But we don't exist in that society. So the closest we're going to get is pay the kids. Right. I mean, yeah, you have to. And someone's making money off them. They should be as well.

Right. My problem with NIL is that it's a half ass solution. There's a well, there's a problem bonus coming on sort of the new era of CFP, CFP, which is just like. Yeah, I don't know, man. I mean, I think a lot of it is like the way I see it is, like I said, and I always like a stopgap solution at best, but I don't think the NCAA is ever gonna, unless like mandated by court order,

is ever gonna be like, all right, just pay the kids. Right. Here's your money, go fuck off, you're on payroll now. Like, oh, who was it? SMU did during the pony excess days. Right. I mean, this, the house versus NCAA, this is basically the next step to that point.

Right. You know, you're getting a the next step to that point. Right. You know, you're getting a share of like the TV deal. Right. As you should. Right. So, I mean, if that's what's going to... Because it does, it does... I can see that like you love this university.

Right. Maybe you're alumni, but you like attached to it. You have an attachment to it that's not a financial. It's positive memories. It's nostalgia. You would want the players to have that, like, oh, I'm doing it for you. I'm doing it for the university and seeing players jump like from team to team and stuff like that. It does. I could see why people would be like they don't like that because it's not what you should be. You should. You should want a temple education. Right. Like but it's not about that anymore. And right. But that's also like that's that's sort of the deal with the devil we make.

I mean, it sucks that Temple's a mid-major program. Two of us who attended Temple University, you graduated from there. It sucks that Temple is a mid-major. It's gonna be bypassed for a lot of Penn State, Ohio State. We're gonna have to build in the trenches for football if we continue to have a football program. Who's to say if we will.

But I think that like, I would rather these kids get paid than my specific team that I care about do really well, knowing that like, you know, it's kind of just like a solution that no one's happy with and therefore is probably the best one, but I think we need to just get to pay the kids. Yeah, I mean, if you could just, whatever it is to make it like not,

if you could do it where the kids are like stable with the teams for the most part, except for like obviously the guys who are like really getting, you know, like a jail and hurts, you're getting like, you obviously could be a starter somewhere, but you're just, you got benched and now you're stuck. Circumstances, right. You know, I could, you know, I could, I could see that, but like, yeah, it would, it would

be nice if there aren't as many kids transferring because you do want like, you know, ideal like a platonic ideal, like, you know, no, you, you get a good education at the university, you know. But you don't get a good, you don't get, like, I mean- You don't really get education. No, we've said that. The University of Georgia famously fired, basically, I think it was like a writing tutor who said,

I'm not going to lie about these kids' inability to read and write, and testified about it, and got fired. Meanwhile, yeah. It was years ago, but. Like, Jalen Hurts had graduated early, but like, yeah. I think he got his master masters while he was still. I think he does have his masters while he was still in college. But before he became a pro, I should say.

But like, yeah, no, I mean, if you're going to school with a major program, you're barely ever, you will almost never see the players at Temple. You could run into the players, but at, I mean, Penn State, like the whole thing was they have their own separate dorm. Right. It's cool. They have their own separate classrooms. Yep. They focus on, they focus on football. And if you get an education as a player, that's like, like you're, you're doing that. You're deliberately seeking it out because they basically give you the pass. Right.

You know, you get tutors on this shit. You get your own fucking meals. They're separate from everybody else's. Right. Yeah, but meanwhile, Temple, yeah. Oh shit, there's a basketball player in my class. Yep. Temple's like that. I have that experience, yep.

Yeah. All right, 56 minutes in. All right, let's do some listener feedback. Yep. We got DMs. We got our first ones from Roisin. And she says, hey Tommy, yay Liam, Roisin again. Share the best in the NBA Cleveland Cavaliers. Our core's still going brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr days if they're coming back from a 25 to three opening deficit to beat the Celtics. Sorry, Liam.

That's okay. 123 to 116, I would like to reiterate my actual threat on the Discord that I will call in and blow out my phone's level if the Cavs win the finals this year. Guardians are at the bottom of the barrel with the White Sox and Padres in Cactus League play, right? Spring Train doesn't count. And previously mentioned chronically injured AAA prospect Chase de Lauder has once again exploded and died. Having had core muscle surgery, which is the start of a season to May at the very earliest. Slecicione. Slecicone. On a return in the Josh Naylor trade, gave seven rounds of the one and two thirds innings pitched in the 12th, 12th, I get to the berth on Sunday.

Yeah, that's tough. Further, my belief that we got a completely fucking fleece there. I know it's just spring training. It is. It's just spring training. But still. Go anyway. We're still anyway.

Go Cavs, go guards, go Phils, fuck Penn State. Speaking of which, Roisin, today's effectively wild season preview is Phillies and the Cleveland Guardians. So you can listen to both of them on one episode. And then our second DM. Why don't you read this one because it's short. Hey, Tom and Yael, how fucked are the Dallas Mavericks now? Fuck sports betting, go network Southeast, go Blue Jackets. That's Metric Mike.

Yeah. Thanks, Metric Mike. Yeah, the Mavs are imploding, dude. I mean, Kyrie Irving's done for the season with an ACL. That's right ACL They're done. I mean they got fleeced in the Luka trade, but you know, they wanted to get fleeced so fuck them Yeah Who's the Mavs is it Mavs under the fucking dipshit? rich guy

Okay, you're gonna have to narrow it down a little bit The the shark tank fuckhead anymore okay yeah the the the the ostensibly we're talking about mark cuban the ostensibly lib one yeah all right we got a couple voicemails let's see we might only have time for one Wookie. We'll see. Because Wookie, you sent two. One per episode. Especially since we're 59 minutes in. All right. All right. Let's listen to the latest arena fucking Holy Roman Empire-esque bullshit. Hey, Tom. Hey, Liam. It's post-band Wie once again. I figure I'd give a little arena ball update.

We are, it's Friday, February 28th, so we are a week away from both the Arena Football One and the National Arena League, watching their seasons. Yeah, some sad news. The Wolfsburgers creating Mavericks are no more. Oh no. Jesus Christ. I don't know why it took until a couple of weeks before the season start, but apparently the league was working with the team to try to get them over the finish line to start

the season, but apparently just couldn't get it done. And unfortunately, just leave the AF1 down to 11 teams for no 10 teams for 2025. Honestly it's a number that you probably should have started with begin with instead of trying to moonshot expand. Looks like a bunch of new franchises within six months but uh you live and learn. I don't think they do. Do you? Yeah, I don't think they do. Fortunately, all the players are free agents. And then Coach Sean Leota and his brother Jeremy Leota, who is the defensive coordinator,

they have gone to the National Arena League's wheel and minors, where they will be the offense coordinator and defensive coordinator for that team. Thanking for a pretty stout team for God, I'm like, sorry when the dogs was trying to jump on me for 2025 in that league. Yeah. National Arena League has been holding preseason games

where their teams are playing semi-pro teams and absolutely beating up on them so yeah that's totally fun to watch but he gives the players reps before the actual season starts. Yeah, I guess I'll update you guys once the season starts and more fanatic games happen. I'm working on a Arena Ball 2025 primer video for all things Arena Ball. I figure it kind of helps. We need a chart. New fans. Trying to follow all the leagues and drama and politics and whatever. Anyways, keep up the good work. Fuck Elon Musk. Fuck the millionaires in general. Yeah. Off I go. Go deliver the mail. Have a good night everyone.

How is this league real, man? Dude, if it came out that Wookie was making this up and this is like, Like you'd believe it. This is an alternate reality. Yeah. Like this, this is, it's insane. It really is insane. Um, I, how are they finding people to be on these teams? How are they finding people to give money?

Yeah. Great question. I don't know. All right. Uh, so apparently like soccer has like the shortest season ever or like offseason ever. It's like the longest season. So apparently there's a Charlie Union update.

So let's let's listen to that. Hey, guys. Yeah. Hey, Charlie. Hey, Tom. Charly from Oxford. He and Philadelphia Union did open the season with another win against ST Cincinnati winning 4-1 on the back of a tie, a barribo hat-trick. He scored the first goal in four minutes then and another goal in the first half and then finishes off with a 50-section pinning goal

in the second half. And recent acquired Philadelphia Union, Bruno D'Ambole got the fourth goal in his debut late in the 90th minute to put the union ahead. They did concede one in the second half to Cincinnati. The real story was 60 degrees at 12 o'clock in the afternoon, it was not 60 degrees around kickoff. The air temperature may have been in the 40s, but the real fields were well into the 20s. You know, fortunately, nearly lost my fingers on that one because dressed for the air temperature and not for the real field. But a couple of developments with the premium seating in front of the river end, it changes the dimensions of the field.

The field is noticeably shorter, about a couple yards in both in terms of length and width. Yeah, right. I could see from my seat above the premium seating that I could see the old line of where the goal line was and where the corner flag was. It does with a high press team make less work for them because they could press because they got to cover less of the field. If you got like a fat guy team, the field is really, really, really narrow or really short.

I'm very confused. I didn't know you were allowed to do that. Our field changes every game. I'm very confused. I didn't know you were allowed to do that. They seem to disrupt things for Cincinnati, who have a five man midfield. Did keep them away. Our field changes every game. Ha ha, we're doing a rant up. Out wide and then just,

God's out almost from laying them off right in front of Borivo in the, between the six yard and the spot, just tap in for all four goals. So they are undefeated in two games with two wins, eight goals. Diver Evo has five goals in two games. He is on a theoretical pace for 91 goals. That's probably not going to happen. No, well, Charlie, you got to believe.

Yep. And they'll be up in even colder New England on Saturday where they'll play the team formerly sponsored by United Healthcare and now sponsored by Joette. But we did get a Mangione sighting who was on the bench. Oh, he's out. Oh, like the Charlie ran out of time. Yeah. Get, start a timer. Why did it end there at the Luigi Mangione sighting? Right. Yeah. Just a heads up, Christopher Sanchez in today's game pitched three innings with four strikeouts, one earned run, throwing a 98 mile per hour fastball. Nice.

And the mathematically perfect 88 mile per hour change up. You want it to be like 10 mile per hour difference. Nice. So Sanchez is going to be Nancy this year. But thanks Charlie for the update. I need to know what happened with Luigi Mangione considering I thought he was at Rikers Island. So did I. All right. Now we have Captain Cleveland. So let's listen to Captain Cleveland. Hey Tommy, I'm Leon. This is Kyle from Cleveland. Pronouncing him. However, Tommy. And this is Kyle from Cleveland pronouncing him.

However, I do need to add a little something to that. Last time I called, I was so drunk that the other corrects couldn't really tell what I call myself. And I was described as Captain Cleveland. I'll keep that. I'm going to be catching up on a from now on. I'm about to answer Kyle on Patreon. Okay. I will give you guys an update about what's Cleveland, what's going on Cleveland wise

in console sports. I love the Cleveland updates. We have so many Cleveland people. Also, Tom, you did an amazing job talking about trying to enunciate the various surnames of the Cleveland Guardians. He's a magnificent job. Anybody who says anything different, I don't know, redacted.

I don't know what. There's not a whole lot of sports to talk about right now, but I will say your latest episode with the one you did about like the history of the NFL that was magnificent oh thank you but I do remember you guys talking about maybe something about an episode about craft breweries and oh god damn I can't wait the WTYP episode about beer is like five years old now can't wait for you guys to talk about that again. It's coming.

Also, I can give a shout out to two very, two, two brewers that are very close to my heart. The Great Lakes Brewing Company in Ohio. They've been doing it since like 1988. They've been doing it since like five years before of ours and born. Shout out to them. I don't know what the labor practices are. They're in a shop or I read them. I'm looking into that further just in case, but they're good. Also, I want to give a shout out to Britain, seeming closer to me, which is the employee.

Oh, it's just 20,000. The brewery in Worcester, Ohio. The JSC stands for just a fucking brewery, which that's fun. Chef's kiss to them. They make amazing beers. They actually make one of the best half of ice and beers in North America. I love a good half. I would never go to Worcester myself, even though I live there.

But hey, we got a good brewery. That's all I could say I'm gonna cut this off real quick. So I can add an addendum in just a bit. Oh Yeah, he calls back yeah great like Susply owns You don't like heather's license? No, not a wheat beer guy. Sorry. Oh dude apart like a really fresh nice like von stefan like you got oh just, just the, the, the, the, the play of the, of the, the East esters where you get that banana, you get the banana and clove Esther and it just, it like, it's, it's so soft on your tongue in, in it's,

soft on your tongue. And it's, I mean, there's often your tongue. Oh, we're ready for that. We're ready for that. Where are you? Uh, no, the, the, the, there's a reason that the Bavarians used to drink it as Morgan beer. Like it was like, it's you can, the Slavonia you can drink before tests. And don't know.

Um, I don't know. Uh, I can say, uh, well, there's your problem. Beer too is coming. Yes. We have a guest. Oh, you got that problem. Year two is coming. Yes. We have a guest. Oh, you got that guy? We got that guy. Nice. He wrote an outline. I can give no further

information. He will have to record under a pseudonym. Oh, nice. Nice. Yeah. Yeah. Love. Well, if they're doing it under pseudonym, let's get some recipes. I'll ask. You can get percentages. If you just get percentages, I can I can I can convert. So I still have my Bruce Smith subscription. Well, not subscription, but you buy it once, you know. Yeah, yeah. Make me want to brew beer. I just don't have the room for it anymore.

Yes, you do. Move your wife's shit out to the driveway. This is the Captain Cleveland part too, because he calls back. Hey gang, this is Kyle from Cleveland. What the fuck was that? Sorry. Captain Cleveland. Oh, now I'm still using him.

Oh, boy. A little addendum. I did hear if there's a slight possibility that the WTYP live tour might go a little bit further west of the Appalachians, I'll really hope for that. I actually bought a ticket to the Fillmore. The day it was announced, I will not be able to make it to Philly. However, I will still kind of let that take a ride because I'm a patron of I guess you guys are art.

That's what we're thinking about. Yeah. However, if there is possibly a show in say Pittsburgh or in Shalaa, baby Cleveland, honestly, anybody who shows up WTWP slash 10k losses slash whatever Gareth might be doing I will get you all blind drunk. Thanks Scott. Count to Cleveland, excuse me. We got a lot of good breweries in Cleveland. It would actually be cheaper for me to get you all drunk in Cleveland than would be for me to go over to Philly. So, you know, my gauntlet hasn't

thrown on boys and girl, sorry Nova. Please come to Cleveland. We also have the infamous Cleveland Margaritaville that William mentioned. Yeah, that's my holy grail dude. Personal paradises, I don't know if still stands, but hey, we got it. Cleveland doesn't have a whole lot except for like a few good teams, but we can get you drunk and it's still open. If you're in Cleveland, you need the alcohol. All right. Have a good one, boys. All right. Thanks. Thanks.

I can't reveal anything, but yeah, yeah. Yeah. What's all the time? Drew Carey show was Cleveland, right? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Yeah, I haven't been. Yeah, yeah.

I can't reveal anything, but hold that thought. But there you go. All right. You know what? Might as well catch up and do the Wookiees. Yeah, so let's let's listen toes. Yeah, we might as well do. So let's let's listen to that. It's our last voice one for today.

Hey, Tom, hey, Lane, that's Postman Wookiee with a quick little arena ball update. We are. It's not going to be quick. We can use. I love you, Wookie. Regular season games for the arena football one and National Arena League. That being said the national arena league just came up for preseason games for for their teams the free port rougarou that's our bull mot renegade that's not real that's not real and it's just not real out sorry they're non-league That's not real. That's just not real. Sorry.

They're non league semi pro teams. Meanwhile, the defending champions, Omaha Beef playing a. The Omaha Beef? Yes. Semi pro teams called the Minnesota Warriors. They are managed by a girl named Kristen Clausen. She actually played lineman for them up until. Oh, all right. Yeah, fuck....which is kind of cool. But anyways, this Minnesota team came into the slaughterhouse in Omaha and beat the Omaha beef. The beef looked like, looked freaking terrible.

The fact that they scheduled the semi-pro teams thinking they were going to have an easy warm-up and they get beat in their own arena by a semi-pro team. Also, the semi-pro team is going out of business after this game. Oh. So, all the shit talking over on the zone. Becoming amateur. And their two expansion teams have gone and blown out. They're my pro teams. And then meanwhile, the champions themselves struggle.

They look like shit. Maybe you should have actually paid some of the guys that won you the two previous championships instead of just letting them go to rival teams and then paying way too much for a 40 year old Lorenzo Brown. Anyways, thanks for all the last guys. Fuck Elon Musk, fuck Riley Gaines and fuck NASCAR for giving her a platform to be like, who's that? Good one guys.

Riley Gaines is a anti-trans, sorry. Basically like a grifter. She lost a competition and she's been real mad about it ever since. Oh, is it the one who came in like fifth, tied for fifth or something like that? The swimmer? Yeah.
