quarterback? Yeah. Where he's like, no, now he's like walking it way back because he knows he's an asshole. And the problem is mostly coaching. It's not even Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz has been more or less fine. And their drafting's been

horrible. Like it's not like I'm not here to defend Carson Wentz, but this is not Carson Wentz's fault. He's not GM. He's not making personnel choices. No, and he's not calling plays. He is also CTE'd. He's CTE'd up. He sure is. Sorry, I was reaching for my monster energy drink. I thought you were going to say your monster condom for your Magnum dung. Nah, it's not that impressive.

Frankly. Gets the job done, but I have no illusions, we'll say. Yeah, it's a foot long sauce, but it shrinks for some reason. Oh, yeah. Shit. Yeah, so Ron Rivera's an asshole. I mean, fuck that team.

Fuck that shit. Are we defending Carson Wentz on this podcast? Yeah, I think we actually are. It's just it's not Ron Rivera's an asshole. I mean, fuck that team. Fuck that shit. Well, fuck that team for sure. Are we defending Carson Wentz on this podcast? Yeah, I think we actually are. It's just it's not his fault. I mean, he's an asshole, but it's not his fault. He talked about the Devontae Adams shove, which was not cool. I get that you're pissed off, but like leave it on the field there, guy.

Yeah. That said, he probably shouldn't be facing criminal charges. Well, is he getting charged in England England how do you do that I'm trying to you got a license for that show mate

No, he's, he's on the, he's on the Raiders. So that wasn't, they played with Derek Carr at Fresno state. Yeah. Yeah.

So that this bit is really ungrounded anything. So we both had some weird weeks. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Weird. Weird is a, is a good way to put it not bad just weird just weird

of the moon affects human mood. I will say I do like that it annoys you. Yeah, that's true. That's like most things in life. It annoys me. Yeah, I sort of laugh at it. I assume your wife sort of laughs at it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I used to be an actual dickhead about this shit. Like, I would get like, actually, like, actually, you know, the man that's not correlated with any increase in uptick in crime. Yeah, I used to be a shit. Yeah. Yeah. I used to be a debate bro atheist when I was in my, you know, teens

and early 20s. I, you know, we've all been assholes. I, my, yeah, let's, let's talk about religion uh birthright and uh everything was revealed to you at the western wall and i went on birthright and i was just like the only thing that that really left an impression on me on birthright was a how fucking racist the israelis are uh and b i was like when we did go to the whaling while i was just like this is fucking it like not not in i'm unimpressed way but i was like when we did go to the whaling wall i was just like this is fucking it like not not in i'm unimpressed way but i was sort of affected by the gravity of like for

thousands of years since the fall of the temple we fought over this like 90 meter stretch of rock like that's kind of a that's a mind fuck like i'm not object i'm not you know saying good or bad like we should or shouldn't be but i i was just like very i felt the weight of like it's just this like this is what the thing right this is it and i was very i was very that made an impression on me your face froze are we still recording yes we are no we're good yeah we're recording uh yeah i don't know man uh don't fucking go on birthright is my advice it ruined a girl i dated she came back conservative uh i went on she's never gonna listen to this anyway uh she's not allowed to use technology yeah i might think i might

cut that joke i i met i went on birthright with my then friend whose wedding i went to last weekend we're getting real into the personal details but but I don't think she's going to listen to this. And yeah, it was fucking weird. Nice. I didn't join the Jewish sex cult, though. Oh, that's disappointing.

Yeah. Don't go on birthright. Seriously, don't fucking go on birthright. I mean, or go on it and get the go seriously don't fucking go on birthright uh i mean or go on and get the free trip and i i i've i've been to israel i've seen the church of the holy sepulcher oh that's cool i've seen the imitation in dc the one for one yeah yeah what the fuck is up with that like that's a catholic thing because we have There's one in Bucks County called Chesterhova. That's a one-for-one replication of

one in... Oh my god, I think I gotta let Corinne in the door one second. Are you locked out? Sorry. I'm coming. Let's see, are we... Is she trying to come in to yell at us?

Yeah, one second, one second, one second. Dead air. Let's talk more about communism while Liam's not listening. Yeah, don't be a stand for any actual states. Just take the view of, let's view it as experiment. Take the good and the bad. And, you know, the is-ought problem, right? You know, we don't want to fall into,

into aughts. You got to think about the is a lot. Sorry, David Hume, uh, for bastardizing this, but yeah, uh, while Liam's out,

we can have, we can, we can talk about this kind of stuff. Uh, let's see what else, what else can we talk about? Let's see if we, if by Liam's echo,

we can kind of map his house out. Rotating. Oh, fuck. Rotating Liam's house in our minds. What? Oh, I was saying like,

maybe we could use the echoes as a form of echolocation and, and map out what your room looks like. You've seen my room. I know. I can visualize it. I can rotate in my mind right now do you do you need help of some kind that yes uh the trick is finding what kind oh oh that hits close to home baby yeah yeah yeah uh

uh i'm in therapy it's great uh yeah yeah no it's it's good shit uh we were so we were saying about um fuck right Jews yeah like the Catholic like thing is like we're gonna make a replica of a shrine that's weird man yeah I don't and have you been to the replica of the

Holy Sepulcher in DC yes all right and they have like bodies in the same spot apparently yeah it's fucking weird but it's like we have like it's like the substitution body replica of the Holy Sepulcher in DC? Yes. And they have bodies in the same spots, apparently. It's fucking weird, dude. It's like the substitution body. We got a similar saint. Oh, this is Dale. You guys ever heard of Saint Dale?

Yeah, we got Saint Dale of Earnhardt and we got Saint Dale of Gribble and you got one in each. You know? You're telling me you've never heard of St. Dale, like with a straight face. Oh,

we gotta, we gotta get, we gotta get St. Dale. Like we gotta get his, like we have to get the same exact, like the corpse has to be in the same like configuration, right?

The same. Yeah. It's weird. That was weird. But I mean, it's kind of cool the other way. Um, and,

and yes, i have heard i have seen the pope uh sneakers i've seen i've seen the nike oh i thought those were cool i thought those are actually fucking sick like genuinely sick whatever you think of of catholicism in the pope um you know yeah i was i was i thought those were cool. Our theory is that Pope Francis is a hostage of the curate and the curate and he actually would do a lot more progressive things if only

he had access to the Swiss Guard. And were able to do damage. Yeah. Alright, so shit yeah Phillies are still in the rain delay yeah

Phillies googling it time to be determined let's look at the weather map excuse me my turn Truist Park it's not in Atlanta it's not in Atlanta

it's in Cobb County all the racist cops uh oh they still look like they've got a good hmm that radar don't look good looks like they still got a good hour or two

that sucks yeah oh well alright that radar don't look good. It looks like they still got a good hour or two. That sucks. Yeah. Oh, well, all right. Uh, we can watch the, we can watch other teams lose.

Um, but yeah, no, the Philly is good playoffs. I've been screaming a lot. Um, I've, I've dude play.

I gotta say this playoff baseball. Do you remember it being this tense? No, like, like, I don't really remember it. Well, you're a red Sox fan. You remember some of it. I, tense? No. Like, holy shit. I don't really remember it. You're a Red Sox fan. You remember some of it.

Yeah, my one for that is playoff hockey. I think this is that level of just like, I'm going to shit my pants. Every second is just a fucking do or die. The worst day, yeah. And I think baseball, with how you have the time between each pitch just makes the gravity of it so much greater. Holy shit. Yeah, I had a tension headache

from Friday through Saturday until they won. But yeah, it's been a good time for Philly sports. Except for the Flyers. I will say it was really funny. SEPTA, because I follow SEPTA on Instagram, posted like, it's a great day

and had a person on the Broad Street line and had someone in an Eagles hoodie and a Sixers shirt and a Phillies shirt. And then the guy who was ostensibly representing the Flyers was wearing no Flyers gear. He was wearing orange and black.

I'm just like, they couldn't even fucking approve the logo. Like, come on, dude. That's fucking embarrassing. He's an iconist. He doesn't believe in graven images. No, no, no. The Union

are good, too. They won their first playoff game 4-0. Charlie must be thrilled. Yeah. I guess we're not going to be able to fuck the supporter shield, though. They won their first playoff game for nothing. Charlie must be thrilled. Yeah. I guess we're not going to be able to fuck the Supporter Shield though. They tied for points with LA, so maybe we would. I want to fuck the trophy. How does

Corinne feel about that? I don't know. She's downstairs. I haven't broached that topic with my wife yet. Bringing the Supporter Shield into the bedroom. That's so shiny. How do you feel about being a third in here? It's so shiny and cold. Yeah.

Very shiny. All right. So today's going to be kind of like a mailbag show. Yeah, this is a weird day for us. Like, we're kind of in a holding pattern. We're just like, we don't want to always do a sports recap show you can go find that fucking anywhere so yeah so anyway uh our friends called it our friend right yes and they and they left us a voicemail so uh we got a couple I want to get to. And it looks like the first, we got two

from Evelyn. And let us hear what Evelyn has to say. Hey, this is Evelyn. There's no pronouns. I'm up in Seattle. I just wanted to give some feedback on the football tackling thing. Frankly, as someone who's played rugby for 11 years, all the way from first grade to the end of high school,

fucking discuss with me how football tackling works. I don't care. Okay. It's bad enough that like they get all these concussions when you're sent out with you know a fucking dose of painkillers but like you shouldn't be able to uh pick someone off the ground and slam them with their shoulders coming back over their heads i don't care if like their head can whiplash but you're also going to land on your neck and that shit's fucked too. Like when you talk about concussions, like you, we mentioned like,

you know, the whiplash all the time. No one mentions the neck injury. No one mentions like it, it messes with your spine every single time you get hit. And like, I got kicked in the head a couple of times when I was playing and like, nah, it's just, it's just fucked. Cause you know, you get guys that like will hit you. Um, and like, if I get hit, if I get hit, like, you know, like in the neck in a rugby tackle, that dude's getting a penalty and he didn getting a yellow card if he's bad enough and in football it's you know like normal you know like at

most you get like if you get bad enough you get like Vontaze Perfect and you get a fine but like okay so what like there's so much dangerous tackling and it's not all that and it's not all stuff that's like legal or it's not all stuff

that's illegal even right you can do a bunch of shit and it doesn't matter because what matters is the spectacle over, you know, making sure the players are safe and healthy and come home. All right. Um, like my mom was like, nah, you can't play football. You're gonna, you're gonna get yourself messed up and i'm glad she didn't and i played rugby which isn't like much better but it is like somewhat better so yeah i don't know just a lot of football tackling sucks like also the one the type of tackle where you just like hit guys hard as you can and try and stop them in his tracks and you don't wrap up you're

just trying to like stand them straight up. That's also not safe at all. You get a lot of tackles in football where dudes are just leading with their heads instead of their shoulders. And that's just A, that's poor tackling form. B, you're doing it wrong. C, you're going to make yourself and the other guy that you're hitting way more likely

to get injured when you tackle like that. So, I don't know. I don't think the guys that write the rules code are going to edit this because no one wants to see get injured when you tackle like that. So, I don't know. I don't think the guys that write the rules code are going to edit this because no one wants to see rap tackles. Rap tackles are boring. They're pretty, but they're boring. They don't give you those big hits to get, you know, I don't know, tons of

clicks. But, yeah. Football tackling is something. Anyway, sorry for rambling, guys. It's 1 a.m. here. We do that too. You should probably sleep. Yeah, we do that too. I wouldn't worry about here. We do that too. You should probably sleep. Yeah, we do that too. I wouldn't worry about it. Thanks for the episodes. They're really good. So thanks, Evelyn.

I think they made a good point there. Like how the rules committee or whatever wouldn't want to fix that. No, because it doesn't look good on TV. It doesn't look good. TV. I know Pete Carroll has advocated for rugby style tackling, but yeah,

people would get mad. That's something that I think is fundamental to American football is that at least at the pro level, it's a television product first and a sport second. Yes. They have to be very aware of like their ratings numbers essentially yeah college could do that and probably not suffer because people because college ball is so fucking weird anyway

yeah i i firmly believe that that that's that they're disincentivized to do it i mean the nf most nfl i think every nfl team could actually not have anyone attend the game and still make a profit. That's how profitable the NFL's TV contracts are. Right, right. Yeah. Yeah, it's, you know, again, like this, I've been faced with a lot of like capitalist realism this week. Yeah, I feel that. And it's inescapable.

We generally know what's the right thing to do in almost every situation. It gets muddled only when parties' profits get impacted by incorporating that. And it can be anything from healthcare to

the environment to sport and it's and there are for every guy who would want to reform the sport they play there is another five people behind them who are

willing to take the CTE pay the piper down the road you know and it just hasn't been built in like we both CTE. Pay the piper down the road. Right. It just hasn't been built in. We both played high school football. We know what the coaches are like. These are not... No, you're absolutely right.

They're not... I'm sure there's smart, intelligent, caring football coaches out there, but that... Not these guys. It's suck it up. Put some dirt on it. Suck it up. Wonders for the week. Don't be a pussy. That's how kids die of dehydration.

That's why the coach in Maryland no longer has a job. Yeah. The pros don't kill their players. Right. Because they treat them like people. Well, also because they're a product. Right. Exactly. It's a bad look. That's the same thing with the concussion stuff. unfortunately because they treat them like people because they're well also because they're a product right exactly yeah

and it's bad it's bad it's a bad look and that's the same thing with this concussion stuff they say they're going to change the concussion protocols because of the two it hit but only after everyone went after them yeah exactly and even then it's going to be some some half-baked shit I honestly I gotta say I think I I've said this before but we got to get rid

of the helmets period American football's descendant it's an Americanized form of rugby to begin with. Right. And you could still have forward passes and stuff without the full-on contact. The linemen, I mean, linemen, they get the most CTE because all they do is bang their heads together. Exactly. Right, exactly. So, yeah, we're preaching to the choir. I think

most people here agree with that. In some form, this would not be allowed in a civilized country. Yeah, a civilized country, a just state probably led by a common turn. Why not?

Yeah, okay. All right. I know you're an anarchist, but what if by a common turn. Sure. Why not? Okay. All right. I know you're an anarchist, but what if we made you the commissar of sports? Oh, I could take it. I could sacrifice our principles to be commissar of sports.

All right. Excellent. Everyone just has to be in three sports. We're dropping... What class are we dropping? What don't kids need? I don't need the algebra. We're dropping, uh, what, what's, what class are we dropping? We don't kids need, I don't need the algebra.

We just drop algebra. Yes, you do. Uh, sorry. You're a math guy. Ah, what would you drop?

That's history. Obviously I would drop, I would drop science. You get math, but not science. You don't need to contextualize shit. Get in there. Hot shot.

Pure math only baby. Calc four temple. Yes, sir. You're going to know how to calculate the volume of a cylindrical fuel tank. And you are going to enjoy it. But you won't know how that engine works. Nope. And so Evelyn called in again

with like a short follow-up to that. Let's see what they say. Oh yeah, this is Evelyn. Okay, Fox Echo is not here. Whatever. I just wanted to amend Liam's

instant replay take where if you take more than 15 seconds you get shot. To say that if you force people to play contact sports on turf, you should also be shot because I don't know how much football

y'all ever played on turf, but playing on turf is not a fun experience. It's so much different. And like, I don't know. My cleats are dripping nothing. Stepping on grass is such a different experience. So, yeah. Anyway, also,

I need your Phillies to knock out the Cardinals so I can laugh at my friend. Anyway, thanks. Thanks. Thanks. I was talking to

them on DM and I say, look, Google the Veterans Stadium cancer cluster and they responded, which is like, what the fuck I say, look, Google, uh, the veteran stadium cancer cluster. And they responded with just like, what the fuck? So, uh, yeah,

turf isn't good for the environment. Also it's made out of like repurposed tires. Turns out those repurposed tires are full of heavy metals. Just, just what a world we live in. What a fucking world we live in all right uh yeah it's just well you can't win right like you can't like cars poison everything they poison they poison the fields that we let kids play with you know yeah good great fuck them kids oh god we're gonna lip Oh, God. We're going to lip this, baby. No, it's just the world.

All right. We got a call from Nick here. So let's hear what Nick has to say. Hey, this is Nick. Pronouns are they, them. This is my second attempt at leaving a voicemail because I fucked up the first one. Just calling to say thank you guys for getting me

really into baseball. I was never much into sports as a kid but now after i started listening to 10 000 losses because yeah liam congrats on the engagement by the way thank you i've been getting really into following football and then when tipping pitches came on i got super into baseball so i've been following this whole season from start to finish so Now I'm just anxiously checking my phone to see what the Phillies' current score is versus the Cardinals during my prep period.

Thanks, guys, for giving me something normal to be interested in and something I get to talk about with my dad and my grandparents. It's just nice to have something to relate to them, too. Anyway, thank you, guys. You're free to play this on the podcast if you want, but no pressure.

It's good. Thank you. Thanks, Nick. That always makes me happy. When people say you have made sports relevant to me and I can talk about it again, that makes me happy every time we hear that.

So, yeah. How you doing? This is Ron from Robbinsville, New Jersey.

He, him, his, and member of the Bucks County Curling Club in Morganstown. I'm your first time caller. Now, like all true sports fans, I'm sure you two are avid curling aficionados, so I thought I'd ask you a few questions about your thoughts for the upcoming season. First, how do you feel about the new five-rock rule and no-tick-shot rule?

Is it worth it to take away from the skill cap of the top curlers that they look for exciting games? Second, do you guys have an opinion on the schism between the USA Curling Association and the Grand National Curling Cup and the risk of decertification by the U.S. Olympic Committee? And how do you feel about the overarching issue of squaring the need for centralization

and development of the pro scene versus support of the grassroots curlers and local clubs. Finally, of course, who are your favorites for the Tim Hortons, Briars, and Scotties? These aren't even real words. For real, I'm a longtime fan, and if you two or any other listeners are interested in trying the great sport

of drinking on ice or curling, there's a spot at our learning classes in Warminster with you guys' name on it. Thank you. Shout out to anyone listening from the Bucks Club or from the Potomac Club, which will be hosting America's first

best and only LGBTQ plus curling bounce field next week. Oh, yeah. Thanks for the show. Congrats, Liam. Yay, Tom. Go birds. Go still. Go Scarlet Knights. Yeah, go Scarlet Knights, baby. Fuck you. Bye.

Who got the fuck you there at the end? I didn't pick that up. I think just in general. Oh, yeah. Well, yes. That was very sweet to invite us to the curling club. Thank you. You can be a big broom, I'll be a little broom.

Okay, so as I understand it, there is some shit with membership dues. I have our curling up. Aw. I, uh, I don't know. I don't know anything about curling. That's competitive

sweeping, right? Yeah. I gotta say about schisms. Schisms are bad. That leads to orthodox Christianity. Yeah, and also the Prons. Yeah. It's a Catholic podcast.

It's not a prodcast. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Do you manage to boot yourself out of the room because you did that? I guess. Let's see if it happens again. Did you seriously boot yourself out of the room because you did that? You can still hear me, right?

I am amazed. I am. It's finished. Okay. Now it's good. Okay. No, we're fine we're good um i gotta find out what that like what's that called the clapboard that they use in movies that like yeah noise it's different from the it's different from the sensor tone i gotta find out what that tone is uh call in with telling me what the hertz of that tone is.

I can't find it online for some reason. It must be some secret of the recording arts that I'm not allowed if I'm not in the industry. But curling, again, Catholic podcasts with a

lowercase c. I believe in the one holy apostolic and universal Catholic podcast with a lowercase c. So, believe in the one holy apostolic and universal curling association? Yes. And bending a knee through a centralized committee sounds really fun. So, I guess we would stand by that.

No idea. Yeah, things need to be centralized. You have to have someone who can centralize, plan the games, have a oversight, and there's no possibility for corruption or anything bad to ever happen in those kinds of organizations. Nope.

These decentralized clubs, as I call them, the Kronstadt clubs, they're counter-revolutionary. The revisionist. Oh, okay.

No, that's fine. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe consider fucking yourself. Uh, you know,

every once in a while you think about it, but you just end up with a dick in your mouth. All right. Uh, we've all been there. Um, yeah. So I don't know if you have anything yet.

You said you had something up on curling. It was the art curling. As far as I could tell, it was basically because there was a split over how they handled membership dues during the pandemic. The whole thing is basically impenetrable, I think, if you're not into it already. Yeah. It's tough to break into a sport that has no lineage. It's not our team. Yeah.

Sorry we don't have opinions, but that was very nice of you. And I hope that was the first LGBTQ tournament, was it? Tim Horton's thing? I have no fucking idea. Whatever it is, we have not critical, uncritical support For LGBTQ people in sports

And going off and doing that shit Support that, that sounds awesome Thank you Ron Alright so we have We have Charlie I can tell how drunk Charlie is By how long they are This one's not very long

So you can figure it out if you think he's really drunk or not drunk at all. Oh, okay. No, it's not that short. This is Charlie from Roxborough. He and Stone the Trey Union did Jesus Christ.

Montreal won two, but they have both killed for the first time for semifinals and finals if they get to it. It's like that Ron Katurski thing. Daniel Gaskin scored his third hat-trick of the season. Got 22 goals.

The fuck is happening out there? Trying to get home to watch the rest of the bird game. Let's go, bird! Later, guys. That is like the Ron Katurski where he's like at the... He's like, oh, there's a fucking fire truck, and it goes by.

That was some chaos energy, Charlie. We appreciate that. I don't know what's going on. I know there was something about birds. I know that the Union won. I think it was after they beat Toronto 4-0. Gotcha. Go birds. Go birds. I know that the union won. I think it was after they beat Toronto 4-0. Gotcha. Go birds. Go birds. Yeah, so that's your union

update. We got another voicemail from Zach. I think it's Zach from Pittsburgh. Hey, Tom. Hey, Liam. This is Zach. She, her, he, him, they, them. First of all, thanks for the message of solidarity on the last episode or whenever episode comes out. Either way, thanks for the message of solidarity on the last episode or whenever

the episode comes out. Either way, thanks. I have a good support network with my family and friends, but it's always good to know there's more comrades out in Philly willing to kick people's asses for me. Yeah, first of all, I just want to say I'm really happy the Phillies beat

the great Satan that is the St. Louis Cardinals. As a Pirates fan who can't forgive 2013 that feels good I hope they kick these brave asses because someone born in 1992 I also fucking hate the Braves also the charm was obviously extremely racist Tomahawk chant. Yeah, as for a question, what's your favorite kind of lore in your sports team? Mine has been that the Pittsburgh Pirates got their name because back in the 1800s, they started stealing our team's players, basically.

I always find it funny that they just immediately really leaned into it. Anyway, hope you guys have a good night. Yeah. Thanks, Zach. That's actually a good question. Favorite piece of lore for a team you follow or scored, I guess.

Oh, mine is, so for the Bruins, it's Bobby Orr's goal. the goal of which they have a statue uh for the eagles it's probably philly philly uh for the statue yeah yeah yeah yeah and then for the socks the one that i can really think of it's's his... The Bloody Sock Game. The Bloody Sock Game, yeah. Fuck Curt Schilling, but the Bloody Sock Game is pretty impressive. There's a lot.

There's a lot of weird lore in baseball. I mean, this isn't the team I follow. The Yankees. There's the whole Mickey Mantle blowjob thing. I'm not going to read it on the air because it's kind of misogynist. It's pretty gross, but it is kind of funny it is fucking funny

but yeah go look that up like I said it's a product of the fucking time that's not an excuse but that's why we're not going to read it on the air because it's fucking gross but there you can see what Mickey what the Mick was up to

during the seventh inning. Jesus Christ. Go check it out. Go check it out. I don't know. I don't know. What's Philly's lore? We covered a lot of that in the bonus with Alice.

Yeah. The jail cell, which is honestly probably the best in sports. Definitely. The flyers have gritty. The gritty, yeah. What's a weird lore? I know someone who walked into Pat Burrell getting headed in the bathroom of a bar in

Philly. That's another one. He kind of had a reputation for being a womanizer. I don't know, dude. What's some... Yeah, I'm trying to think. I mean, well, the Philadelphia Eagles, they were the Yellow Jackets. They merged with the Steelers to form the Steagals. That's a good one.

The Steagals, yes. So, this is probably my favorite bit of weird baseball lore. So, in 94, the Cleveland Slurs, now Guardians. Guardians, right. They're playing a game in Chicago.

It was Cleveland-Chicago Sox. The White Sox manager got wind that Albert Bell, who is a massive piece of shit, if you look him up, just absolute shithead, was using a corked bat. And the corked bat makes the bat

lighter. You hollow out the bat and you put cork in there. Absolutely illegal. And the manager can challenge, hey, go check his bat. Just like the ear incident that we had with the Mets game. I'm not sure if you saw that.

Yes. Yeah, which is hilarious. So they go check the bat or they go grab the bat and they say, all right, we'll check it after the game. And they locked it in the umpire's dressing room. So the Cleveland had a guy climb

through like the fucking false drop ceiling. They sent a relief pitcher with someone else's bat to do a fucking mission impossible. Climb up into the drop ceiling, into the umpire's room.

There's no way that's real. It's 100% real. 100% real. Jesus Christ. Climb up into the drop ceiling, into the umpire's room and swap the bat out. There's no way that's real. It's 100% real. Amazing. 100% real. And the only way it was found out is the umpire's notice that the ceiling tile was broken. And he did some damage coming out. Sure.

And they realized, like, that's not the same bat. This is someone else's bat. It also had the signature of the guy they swapped it with. So I didn't know Al Rebell was using Paul Sereno's bat. This isn't the one I took. What the fuck is wrong with you? It's got the name on it. And so they actually got in trouble.

They had to produce the original bat. The league was going to threaten the FBI. Amazing. And it was sent. It was x-rayed. They x-rayed the bat. And then they cut it in half with Albert Bell present as a witness like King Solomon if he had gone through with cutting the baby in half. Jesus Christ.

It was corked. Bell was suspended. He appealed it. It was suspended to seven games. And then the season ended. And then it came clean. Grimsley, who was the relief pitcher, came clean later. But it is such a fucking funny.

They went Mission Impossible. That's incredible. That's my favorite piece of sports lore in general. Just a beautiful, dumb... There's some shit in college that always makes me laugh. Not my team, per se, but Mike Leach

then at at I believe Oklahoma either at Oklahoma or Texas let me look when he was at I think when he was in Oklahoma on purpose dropped a fake coaching plan

in order to fuck with in order to fuck with in order to fuck with Texas like basically like Robert E. Lee's order shit I was going to say was it before Antietam yeah fantastic

he's not necessarily a great guy but he is a lunatic which I appreciate about him he's pretty fucking funny doing an order was it order 191 that's pretty I like that that's good though that's pretty smart oh man

what's his name Gaylord Perry also he leaked the playbook. He lost it, quote, on purpose. And they fooled Texas. So Texas found Mike Leach's fake playbook.

We're game planning for it, and then we're very confused. Yeah. Imagine your own team uses their own playbook. It's amazing. I love college sports. They're so petty. It's so funny. The other thing is Gaylord Perry.

You know the movie Major League? Yeah, yeah. The old pitcher who's got all the sunscreen and shit underneath? Yeah. It's basically supposed to be Gaylord Perry, who the spitball was banned, but he, he wasn't going to let that stop him from fucking with the ball.

Oh, uh, LSD. Uh, no hit. Oh, uh, who was that?

Doc Ellis. Yeah. Doc Ellis. No hitter on LSD. Yeah. That's a good one. There's so much out there. There's so much weird shit in baseball.

Yeah. We covered the one with the only priest ever in the major leagues. We covered that one in the first bonus with Joe. Go listen to that one. That one's funny. All right. Not Nick. Zach also left another message. Let's

leave this one short. Hey guys, sorry. I forgot to say. Yeah, fuck Penn State. I don't know if they have a pit right now since over homecoming weekend there was protests for mishandling sexual abuse at the college.

So it's still a college. Yep, that's fair. And because of Steelers suck right now, go birds. I love calling back in just to make sure you get the fuck Penn State. And fuck that Jerry Sandusky truth

through those people are fucking freaks fucking insane. Holy shit. That's the hell we're dying on, huh? That's like, you like Canyon Pizza that much? Is that what that is? Holy shit.

Fucking insane, dude. Listen, I get that you like Penn State with that school and you want that scandal to be fucking over with or whatever like that. I like the person that got mad at me for blaming Penn Staters. I was like, well, it's not all Penn Staters. I'm like, I fucking hate your school. It's all Penn Staters. Trust me, I've hated Penn State since I could

walk. I mean, I used to like Penn State. I went to it and then I left and I still liked it until the shit and then I'm like, no, I abjure all knowledge of them. They're anathema to me for the rest of my life. Fuck that shit. And then I got into a profession where we literally are impacted by that law. and if you want to get a new job of teaching now

you have to have every single teaching job or a job with children ever had even if it doesn't exist anymore vouch for you so uh that's the solution that that we came up with honestly i mean like i don't know what the better solution is is, but it's good that they have to check. He's that piece of shit. He's still alive, right? Yeah. Fuck that dude. Yep.

If you're listening to this and you're in the... What's the jail out there? SCI Green is where he is. If you're SCI Green, feel free to take a soda can, make a shank. We'll try to pay your bail. Yeah.

We probably can't, but we'll try. I hope the judge didn't go to Penn State. I hope the judge didn't pay. Yeah, yeah. Shit. Fucking terrible. We got one last voicemail here from Dane So yeah

Let's hear what Dane has to say Hi My name's Dane From Nebraska Pronouns are he, him Just want to say I don't really understand sports Except for the occasional

Watching of sumo And ilking about getting into australian league football but i don't know this this podcast is pretty fucking awesome uh thank you to start a podcast about a topic i do not know but start listening to a podcast about a topic i do not understand uh because i just the fucking ranting on an episode of, well, there's your problem between Roz, Alice, and Tom. And then just literally anything with Liam in it, I'll listen to. But, yeah. Great podcast.

I will keep listening to it. Thank you for the entertainment bye bye now well thanks thanks Dean Nebraska reminds me of like one of my favorite football rivalry jokes is what does the N stand for in the Nebraska

helmets it stands for knowledge jokes is what does the N stand for in the Nebraska helmets? Oh. It stands for knowledge. Oh. Oh. Oh. I said that one because I was going to do the why does Father Judge have it on there?

It stands for a different word. I think you maybe cut that joke. I did make you cut that joke. I'm not cutting it this time. That's fine. Whatever. Oh, yeah. That's like a lost bit. Yeah. The lost episodes.

The lost episodes. Yeah. Jesus Christ. Just like the lost episode of WTYP. Don't worry about that. It was cut. There's several. Yeah, it was cut because it had fucking copyrighted music in it, guys.

Come on. That's the question. Is that some fucking conspiracy? Now everything's an op. Stop listening to True or Not. Actually, I don't have a problem too much with that. I kind of like Brace Belden. I kind of like him. I just like his energy. Fair enough. I'm a aficionado of the Chosen Race. I do like Brace Belden. I kind of like him. I just like his energy.

Fair enough. I'm a aficionado of the Chosen Race. I do like their sense of humor. Thank you. Let's see. Alright. Did we get to this? Did Evelyn get to this?

When they, they called in the second time in the, in the notes. I have no idea. Oh, the hit you hit on what I was saying at the end of the episode with regard to rugby tackles, the no high tackle height increases to get older. So I want to say no hits above the armpits

through middle school, then no hits above the column through high school. But it might be more broken by age level than that. It's been a while since I had to study rule book slash laws. Laws. Yeah. I'm reading law and it's got the copy. I'm reading law.

I'm taking law and it's just the NFL rulebook Yeah Don't worry It's actually more unintelligible than normal law I'm going to pen to read law Fuck you for going to pen I have the

The official rules of baseball It's two words That's my Grace Kelly-ish kind of mid-Atlantic attempt. I was pretty terrible. I can't do that one. It's okay. Everyone else says I do good accents except you. I don't like accents. That's not a you thing.

I just don't like accents. I fucking don't like them. They bother me. Dude, like the people... How do you live in this city? I fucking close my... I'm deaf. i'm deaf not deaf but hard of hearing basically just shut my ears and i say i cannot hear you just hear just walking down the street because i was like oh yeah yeah exactly that's pretty much what i hear at all times and i just try not to lose my fucking mind

um yeah uh one of my co-workers is a long island accent that's pretty fun sorry about that i i kind of like it of course you do that's yeah yeah that's basically what i would expect frankly all right we got one more message this is this is we're message. This is DM by our old friend, Metric Mike. Hi, Metric Mike. Hello, Tom and Ye Liam. Got a fun question this time. Favorite sports team logo, any sport at any level, professional college, high school, city recreation,

etc. Fuck Penn State. Fuck Ohio State. Go Blue Jackets. Oh, okay. This is a good question. I like trying to dig up logos. I can think off the top of my head a few. Arkansas, the

University of Arkansas Razorbacks logo is pretty fucking tight. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a lot of good ones at college. The 90s Bulls logo. My favorites are probably the oak the raiders are fucking sick the raiders logo sick the red wings logo is pretty tight uh i'm not giving uh i refuse to acknowledge the cowboys logo. You can't make me. It's just a fucking star. It's just a star.

The Buffalo Sabres logo is actually pretty cool. I like, what's it called? The Wisconsin's Badger with the sweater. I like that old school collegiate look. Yeah, me too. I like the Kelly Green Eagles logo with the bird picket of the football. That one's always been cool to me. I have a Texas hat that looks like that.

The hat, the longhorn is wearing a Texas hat. I like that. Yeah. Like the North Catholic logo, which is not the official logo. That's NC. It's the falcon wearing the sweater. I like that too. I just think it's cool.

It's nostalgic. It evokes like a certain kind of, it makes me smell the fall. I like that too. I just think it's cool. It's nostalgic. It evokes a certain kind of... It makes me smell the fall. I don't know. Sure. No, I get that. Yeah, I think we shouldn't go by iconic logos just by our... The fucking...

The old school Winnipeg Jets logo I always really liked. And the Anaheim Ducks logo. I always really like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. With a Bill goalie mask. I quite like that. Yeah, that's that one's pretty tight. I actually quite like the Flyers

logo. Yeah. The Flyers have the best uniforms in hockey. They just happen to also be constantly shitting in their own mouths. Durham Bulls logo? The minor league team? That's a sick logo. That's a classic.

That team's been around longer than half the MLB teams. I'm trying to think of basketball. I hate to admit it. The Boston Celtics logo is pretty ridiculous. The Miami Heat logo is a classic. I like the Miami Heat logo.

Like I said, the Bulls. The 90s Suns logo. I always liked with the orange ball like flying through on the black background. I always liked the Nordiques logo quite a bit too. Yeah, that was pretty cool. Yeah. Oh,

Macho Expos. I like that logo. Expos had a good one. Yeah. That was a bit too. Yeah, that was pretty cool. Yeah. Oh, Macho X-Bows. I like that logo. X-Bows had a good one. Yeah. That was a weird one. Like the 76ers logo is okay. It's fine. It's okay. What's the Whalers? The Whalers logo. The Hartford Whalers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was pretty cool. The 70s Astros with like the fucking rainbow.

Yeah. I will say the Astros Space City uniforms look so fucking good. good yeah they're pretty cool i'm trying to think what else what else do i like uh i mean i like the sixers logo with uh ben franklin yeah that's a cool one um i mean the uh the unlv logo even though they're called the Rebs and the icon, the iconography is pretty obvious. Yeah. I don't understand why you would call yourself a Rebs when you're from the University of Nevada at Las Vegas. But you just got here in 1957.

But, you know, what else is good? Florida Gators have a good one. always like michigan state michigan state uh michigan itself yeah michigan's cool too i that the blue with the with like the the kind of trojan-y looking yeah yeah yellow stripes yeah that's that's always been pretty sick um trying to think of like the FC range, not Rangers. They suck. The FC Celtic Celtic Celtic. Obviously.

Yeah. I hate the Giants, but their logo is pretty cool. Yeah. I've always liked the New York Giants uniforms. Oh, they look good. Yeah.

Yeah. I've always liked their uniforms. Good looking logo. They're a good looking team. Fuck them. But yeah, no, I fucking hate them.

But yeah, but I got you. Oh, Fuck them. I fucking hate them. I got you. The old school, the Boston Patriots. Yeah, with the Patriot. With the football. That one's sick too. I do like that. Oh yeah.

That's a good one. You know that tweet someone did that's just like you could put three guys in a room and they'll just talk we'll just remember uh athletes all day long yeah that's what we're doing yeah i mentioned mentioned sports state mentioned movie quotes that's another one too yeah um i don't you know what i i genuinely generally don't like is i think there's like one agency who does all the minor league teams now. Oh, that's annoying. And then the new ones, they're very samey. And I don't like that.

There's a standard thickness to the logos and stuff like that. I'm not a graphic designer by trade, but I do dabble in it sometimes. And yeah. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it. um yeah i i uh uh oh do you i i think of one more uh the portland blazers yes yes i was thinking that i like i kind of like abstract abstract like i like the classic collegiate one but i also like some abstract shit like when it's just like the name and then the animal or whatever it's named after doesn't always work. But, yeah.

Yeah. All right. So, yeah. Well, why don't you guys call and tell us what you think your favorite logos are or if you got any other responses to things like the Tua hit. What you would do with Pete Rose's dick. Yeah. What you would do with Pete Rose's dick. Yeah, what would you do with Pete Rose's dick? Probably doesn't even work

anymore. I don't think so. Someone on the Tipping Pitches Slack had was it he sent them a DM and started hitting on them. I thought it was Pete Rose or one of the other old Philly scumbags. Yeah, I don't want to accuse them of the other old Philly scumbags. Yeah.
