Tyler. There we go. I haven't been back on Temple's campus, I think, since I went to a graduation a few years ago. I haven't been meeting Fleetback since 2015. I've been around, I guess.

Yeah, it was probably 2015 and 2016, I want to say. We did have to change a regional rail train. They made everyone get off. That was North Broad. Well, it's close to Devil's Campus. They made a switch to North Broad. I occasionally go to the Chipotle like 12th and Parkham, right? Just didn't used to be there.

Listen. You kids are spoiled. I got to say this about Chipotle and the state of mexican food in in this area you don't have this problem as much as i do i'm up here bucks county um chipotle is better than 90 of the mex quote-unquote mexican places up here yeah that's depressing that yes yes it is very depressing because most of the places that are really top rated, if you just like look up like Warminster, Warrington, like, you know, Bucks County, top rated Mexican places.

It's all like, oh, my God, the margaritas are so sweet. And it's like, oh, yes, that's a that's a. Yeah, OK. That's it's it's it's slot for the American hog, I guess.

Prodown. See him. Apparently struggling streaming this Bills game.

Yeah. It's commercial right now. Yeah, I know. We're going to have podcast Elyrium Liam today. Yeah, we are. We just recorded, and then we're going to be recording a bonus with Francis from Hell of a Way to Die. About patriotism in sports.

Why it sucks. Which was the first leftist podcast I listened to. Believe it or not. So we'll do that. Did you die again? Oh, let's see. What's going on with my dead? Yeah, I'm dead.

All right. You don't get any news. The cops are useless. Yeah, the cops suck uh weird zencaster sucks we have the curse of zencaster i don't know what it is we don't it is sort of unusable in its current state

uh yeah we're gonna have to start doing like i don't know like fucking microsoft teams or some bullshit yeah anything i have no idea uh i do have Zoom. Zencaster's $20 a month. Oh, that's not too bad.

I do have like the full, like, well, I have my buddy's full Zoom. I'm sure he wouldn't care. But yeah, so we talked about, what did we talk about? We talked about tamarind sodas. We talked about taco trucks in front of Temple. We talked about the cops. The cops. We talked about taco trucks in front of Temple. We talked about the cops. The cops are useless. If I can recover the audio,

I'm just, this will be like, oh, they already talked about it. So, and then, so, hello and welcome. We're not doing that again. We already said it. We're not doing it. No.

We're not telling you what podcast this is. No, you just have to know. Yeah. You have to know who we are. Yeah. The June bonus is out with Alice. It's very funny. It was hell to put together, but it was worth it.

Fun episode, and it only cost a dollar to listen to that and all of our other bonus episodes, including the one we'll be recording this evening with Francis from Hellboy to Die I think that's where we left off I was saying I was actually the first leftist podcast I ever listened to I'm trying to remember how I got linked into it

but that was like the first one that was like openly like left wing the first one I listened to do a street fight because of raz okay see i i came all through this in my own there was no one around me in my friendship group that was really like really left at all so right bernie kind of radicalized me and then um i don't know

how i got to link that to i think i was i think it was like online looking for like leftists but it's not like i i might have been like not didn't want anti-american or something like that right you know because that's you know when you're coming off of being a libertarian it's a little hard to take uh oh sure you know uh malice third world is thought um but yeah so we're gonna be talking about uh we were originally going to talk about uh st louis sports but we uh the the rail that derailed that because of the dallas cavalry is doing something fun and we're not going to talk about it because you got to pay for it because it's really yeah give us your money give us your money yeah give us your

dollar uh you can pay more than that uh you can pay 420 like the one guy does and you know so uh voicemail 267-371-7218 or uh dms uh and patreon.com slash 10,000 losses that's where you find the bonuses etc all that good shit um anyways so uh speaking of phillies because we're we got a phillies game on right now. And Kyle Schwarber just scored one. Yep. Was that it? Was that a dinger? I think so.

I mean, it was Schwarber's. Look how dark that sky look. So, uh, six home runs in nine games. All right. Um, if I was of that proclivity, uh, you know, you know what? I'm going to become gay just for Kyle Schwarber. I decided all that ass. I mean, that that both cheeked up on a wednesday afternoon i i like like seriously like he's apparently like a really nice guy um he's not like a anti-vax weirdo or anything

he just wants to crush dongers he he did he did wear a black lives matter shirt while wearing a chicago police hat when he was the Cubs. Okay. Because he's married to, I think, a black or mixed race woman. But his family was cops. So as far as baseball players go, he's okay. You know? I'm just sure.

Yeah. And the dude is legit. Like, that is goal physique. You know? Coming from... I want to be that cheeked up. Yeah. Don't need steroids to do that you just get to lift heavy weights and eat a lot of protein so

um shouts out the college forward uh hitting a donger the oscars yeah reese oscars is my boy um as well that he's he's the have you ever heard him talk reese a lot of people are surprised by how deep his voice is yeah so let's see we're ranking our Phillies by how hot their asses are anyway all their asses are they got that wagon boy

they do not skip like that so speaking of the Phillies they are good actually maybe I think they're a good team I think they're a wild card team like they're a

half game out we're getting close to the all-star break we're getting close to midseason we took the Cardinals series we did two shutouts in a row um could be worse you could be losing to the rays for nothing right now yeah who's losing to the rays the socks oh i i don't have any ill will against the red socks unless they're playing us

um all over that yeah um yeah so i i it it's weird. We usually thrive on negativity on this podcast. We do. Yeah. We're real proud of it, actually. But now the feels look good. The bullpen's been kind of keeping shit together. Are we not in the wild card, according to these ESPN standings? Oh, well, maybe.

So are we within the three now at this point? Yeah. Oh, shit. All right shit I guess the Braves lost then because the Mets are at the lead of the division so if the Braves lost that would have dropped them down the standings I believe

the Cardinals losing helps us too I think I don't know I'm not looking at the standings right now that's good so you know we just have to keep that up until the end of the season but um playoff baseball in Philly after what it's been like a question mark nine nine year drought

I think 2010 2011 2011 I think it's been 11 years Jesus Christ that's fucked up the only thing that's really been shaky I mean even the bullpens looked alright is starting pitching in terms of how long they're pitching so Eflin's knees bugging him again

Suarez is hurt they Gibson looks has looked atrocious in his last two starts yeah like just might as well have one of us up there and we could get all caked up.

Yeah. They brought Christopher Sanchez up from AAA. He actually pitched really well. He went six innings yesterday. So, but we brought up another stud from AAA, Derek Hall, a.k.a. Long Ball Hall. And I saw him at the Iron Pigs

smacking some fucking long ass home runs he's another big boy ah you fucking kidding me oh you gotta be fucking kidding me alright can you hear me not yet alright now we're back.

Oh, it didn't even stop recording. Yeah, so hopefully we'll just keep with that. When we're done this, I'm going to go down and reboot the modem. See, I did that, and so I don't think it's me for once.

Yeah, I think it's my end, and then I'm going to, I don't know, take my, the Egyptian man who lives in my basement's Egyptian TV box and say, you can't watch this for an hour. No more Egyptian League or whatever it is for you, bud. Aw, he's going to be so sad. Just for an hour, just for an hour.

All right, so I was talking about Derek Hall, Long Ball Hall. You're talking about Derek Hall, Long Ball Hall. You were talking about the guy who just got called up too. Yeah. So Sanchez looked good, called him up, pitched six innings, but Derek Hall got called up, and they immediately put him in the cleanup spot. Yeah.

And he has, as of when I wrote this, he had seven MLB hits, four of them were extra base hits, three of those were home runs long ball yeah long ball beefy boy caked up yeah his family was there for his first

MLB hit was a home run like that's so sick yeah dude oh he's up right now too oh here we go uh he struck out struck out looking that's uh um oh so my feed is behind your feed okay yeah i have it on like the fire stick um not on the not on the browser gotcha and i guess all i could say is um apparently bryce's surgery they had to put like three pins he

thinks he's going to be back in right field by the end of the year okay Bryce I mean maybe he does he does like not drink and he's in good shape so maybe that's true but speaking of Bryce Harper um all-star voting is started this actually matters in baseball and like other sports

like guys really want to play in the all-star game. So I don't know why. There's contract bonuses and stuff to it, but yeah, there are, there are performance bonuses, but I think it's just because it's been around for so long.

Right. Been around since the thirties. So I do remember the, uh, the time, you know, because in the NBA, the,

the teams with the best record, that's who coaches the all-star teams in the NBA, the, the teams with the best record, that's who coaches the all-star teams and the warriors allegedly intentionally lost a game. Are you frozen? As long as it keeps coming back. Oh God, dude. And I can tell it's, it's, it keeps coming back. Oh, God, dude. And I can tell it's it's it's coming.

At least it's not me. Because the notes, the note says working offline. Truly, we live in hell. Yeah, I texted my wife. She's like, what do you want me to do about it? Commiserate with me. Yeah. Obviously, she listened to this no she does not um it's a look

it's a lot asking her to listen to me normally oh yeah i do it for free yeah oh different relationship yeah i'm not married to you liam so i can't i can't give you everything you need no no uh no you certainly can oh right uh so all-star we talked about the All-Star game. Tom's a gentle lover. Yeah, we'll keep it there. Yeah, I'm not kidding. I do not like this. You make me sick. Yeah. My refusal to be a sex pest disgusts you. Listen, as long as I am...

I endured a whole weekend of hearing about people's sexual proclivities so i never need to do it again oh tell me about it there's only one person i need to talk to about that and it's not you so yeah thank you thank you um all right let's see going back to sports stick to sports stick to sports so vote vote for the all-star game um vote for our big cakey boys yep vote uh cal shover i would love to see him in the home run derby um and make pete alonso look like the the big pete alonso is a big strong man apparently though we'll see who's bigger and stronger yeah well all-star game fight all-star game fight yes

this is the first ever bench clearing brawl at the all-star game now I have to actually look that up because they might have had before who knows it's been a long time yeah it's been since the 30s so football apparently the Eagles are the favorite in the first 10 of their 10 of their first 15

games however they're not the betting favorite to win the division somehow yeah who who is you know who it is the cowboys you know them you love them it's the dallas cowboys no no yes they are the betting favorite yeah as we all know sports betting is never wrong or incorrect so right that's true yeah um they do look like a good team um yeah genuinely there's not too much where my jill and hertz jersey as we speak oh hell yeah um is it your

is it uh no who's who's the repurposing the number 11 jerseys nevermind um my brain went oh two ones is two so attaboy yeah thank god you don't teach math 11 jerseys that run. My brain went, oh, two ones is two. Atta boy. Yeah. Thank God you don't teach math.

I had to do a sample math lesson for a training thing. And it took me about four hours to come up with a lesson plan for because I genuinely didn't know what the fuck. So I'm like reteaching myself like algebraic expressions. That sucks. Fuck this shit. Andteaching myself like algebraic expressions. That sucks. Fuck this shit. And don't make English teachers do that. Maybe don't do that in professional development. How about that?

Because it was an hour long professional development. That seems like a waste. Yeah. We'll do a season preview in a few weeks. I have a guest lined up for that. I saw another Philly sports guy uh yeah that violations greg if you of the philly blunt um and also wip caller fame but not so much anymore um but yeah call it for the best yeah he's gonna come on um at some point in the next couple weeks and we'll cover what the birds look like.

It's always a big deal when the Eagles are playing and all that stuff. Basketball? Unless you got something else with the birds. No, I don't. I thought we froze there for a second.

Basketball. The Durant news happened just as we stopped recording last week. Yeah, so Durant wants out of Brooklyn. As Kyrie re-signed. Or opted in, I should say. Like any decent human being,

he can't stand fucking Kyrie Irving. Yeah. Supposedly they want to play together just not in Brooklyn you know there's a lot of rumors going around I personally think it's hilarious and I wish nothing but the worst for Kevin Durant although it would be fascinating

to see him try to play on the Sixers I well I mean Toby and Corkmaz straight up work everyone's going. Everyone's leaving. I don't think he's coming to Philly, but. You think what?

I don't think he's coming to Philly. I don't think so either. No. I also don't think Ben Simmons is going to play another NBA game again, but. No, I. You think he's gonna? No, I don't. I'm trying to see i'm trying to see like who has

like what the sixers have for draft picks yeah um i'm not sure and there's been like trade because there's like there was a talk about like a westbrook irving and then like like maybe toby like a three-way trade right Russell Westbrook comes to Philly how do you think that's going to work with Harden oh not so good so we got well we did end up signing PJ Tucker

and Daniel House so those are good things PJ Tucker we talked about last episode we need a three and D a wing Daniel House is a wing I believe too so um oh the uh sixers have just uh don't have any picks to oh to give out we got them we got rid of them they're getting a 2023 second rounder but they are losing a 2023 first rounder a 2025 first rounder a 2025 second rounder 2026 second rounder and a 2027 first round.

Well, we really, really played. We're playing our hand right now. Yeah. You know? Yeah. So that's great. But yeah, there's some signings. Oh, all right.

Paul Reed apparently looks really good in the the first game of the the summer league yeah uh so yeah i and there's like trade rumors going around with like toby cork maser and fievel uh well who knows there's always rumors i mean we'll say um i definitely i mean if you can get offload toby's contract and if you can get five i mean they managed to offload horford's and i thought that was going to be impossible yeah if viable i mean you just if you're not willing to get vaccinated to play in the playoffs you're fucking just get yeah get off my team yeah you know if you're not willing to do something normal just like fucking go away socks lost the

game because of that too oh i can't wait to i can't wait to when the Bills are in Toronto to see how that goes. I'm sure that'll be great. Do you have any other basketball? Hail to Boston. We got Malcolm Brogdon and gave up basically nothing for him. There you go.

That's nice. That's nice. That's nice. Okay. Speaking of things I don't care about. I think you do. The Flyers' schedule's out. Who cares? Who cares?

I guess we're supposed to. The Union are 7-9-2. They lost their second game so we're now number two in the East so fucking losers and I this is something we talked about with Kenny wearing the Union jersey he's apparently a fan

that's nice it's not in Philly but that's nice I mean didn't they play in Philly for a little bit while their stadium was being built did they yeah i'm not sure franklin field maybe um yeah i know it's it's it's like fucking the new york giants don't play in fucking new york at least they play in the same state though yeah yeah uh all right uh that looks short but we're 20 minutes in plus the eight minutes or so we're gonna have a bonus let's just yeah yeah yeah it's gonna be a short one today uh but we do have two voicemails we actually do have a lot of message regular messages so so we'll get into that but

let me go into the first uh voicemail which does not have a name they used to play at the link oh did they used to play at the link okay alright so they have played are you ready to go into the mailbag alright so we have mystery person hey guys

hooray Tommy hey Liam the union not tying straight continues, but this time they went to Chicago and fucking lost. Kind of looked like a team that didn't make any substitutions.

Only played three games in 72 hours. That'll happen. Onward to Columbus on Sunday. At least the supporters group finally put up something. They did.

It was actually pretty nice to see. I don't think the team has. No. CODIS is also telling people you could lead prayers before school's starting. That's just no big deal.

Brush up on your Arabic to make a point. Yalla habibi. Wow. Continue to fuck the Supreme Court. I'm going to bed. To make a point. Yeah, I'll have you. Wow. Yeah. Continue to fuck the Supreme Court. I'm going to bed. I'm not fucking anything that's been.

Thanks, guy. Drink some water. Yeah. Yeah. Lie on your side. Take two. I have a suspicion of who that is. Take two ioprofen and some Pedialyte. I have a suspicion of who that is.

Please, please, don't drink too much, guys. Drink some water. Drink some water. Yeah. Getting, getting, those, those who saw her, heard, they didn't see me, heard me on the New England Beer Reviews podcast. That was the last time I was fucking so drunk that I couldn't remember anything. And there's a reason that's going to be probably the last time I got so drunk I didn't see me heard me on the new England beer reviews podcast. That was the last time I was fucking so drunk that I couldn't remember anything. And there's a reason that's going to be probably the last time I got so drunk.

I didn't remember anything. That's good. Yeah. Um, all right. Uh, so I guess that's just commentary there. Uh,

they did. I don't know if you saw that the sons of Ben put out a statement. Uh, no, I didn't say it. Protesting, uh, Roe V,

uh, the Roe V Wade overturn, which I thought was pretty cool to see like a, like a supporters group do. Protesting the Roe v. Wade overturn, which I thought was pretty cool to see like a supporters group do that. Yeah, that is good. Yeah. I'm glad. Yeah.

Next person's from Delco. They say their name, but I couldn't catch it in the... Good, that's how you know it's good. That's how you know they're from Delco. Yeah, when I'm editing, I hear myself sometimes really just fucking, like, I thought I enunciated that word.

No, I did not. All right, so here's Delco person. Hey, this is Tim from Delco. I think it's Tim. The Philadelphia Stars and the rebooted USFL, another pro team that doesn't play in the city, made it all the way to the championship game. With four minutes left in the fourth quarter,

they had injuries and interceptions and then gave up two touchdowns in 16 seconds. They lost the lead and the game. In honor of this proud Philly tradition, what's on your Mount Rushmore of most heartbreaking Philly sports memories? As a follow-up, since Mount Rushmore was built on stolen land by a literal Klansman,

what's a better term to use for top four blanks? Really enjoyed the pod. Thanks for everything. Hey, Tom. Yay, Liam. Go, birds! Go, birds. Yes. I think, Mount Rushmore, I've never really liked it. I think it's just convenient because

you have sort of the big four sports. Yeah. But I think you can just say big four and people sort of the big four sports yeah but i think you can just say big four and people sort of know what you mean yeah yeah the do you want to know where the philadelphia stars play uh huntsville alabama or some shit like that birmingham alabama birmingham alabama i think we made it i think we made a joke about how that the the city of birmingham kind of really only makes you think of martin luther king and not football but um yeah well the university of alabama birmingham who's uh if you ever want an interesting story go read up on their football team yeah is it different from the regular alabama

okay all right i'll have to look that up genuinely very interesting basically they were like the team was wiped out but a bunch of players hung around and the team rebooted but like what they did in the interim is really interesting i don't have to look that up um and the the other part of that question was um well my brains are booting there uh was most heartbreaking philly sports moment um oh there are the the most recent i guess is the dag the dagger from uh yeah the kawaii leonard dagger the kawaii dagger is pretty high up there so i uh am sort of a late comer to philly sports um as i've mentioned because i was uh a new england fan growing up and still have highest new england so i think the eagles losing the first super bowl against the patriots where they just sort of ran out of gas. Yeah, that's definitely up there for sure.

The Philly Toronto World Series. That's an infamous one where, what's his name, hit the home runoff of Mitch Williams. Yeah. The walk-off. That's a pretty standard and also infamous one. Was it Joe Morgan? I think so. Yeah uh good baseball player um uh or is it different morgan let's see joe morgan no because he played for the phillies once

90 1993 actually i just have to look up mitch williams man we really prepped for this one um we always do it was joe carter there it is yeah uh that was pretty um and and what philly did that mitch williams too because anyone could have been in been in that position and just you just accidentally gave a meatball you know he got death threats yeah that doesn't shock me and there are still guys who will say that he's like the worst guy in that position and you just accidentally gave a meatball. He got death threats. And there are still guys who will say that he's like the worst guy who ever played in the Phillies. Actually, he was a pretty decent pitcher. Looking at his stats,

he was a pretty decent guy. I don't know. There was a couple, I think it was the NLDS, not the NFL division or champion or Jesus Christ, NFC championship, maybe against the Buccaneers. Yeah.

And McNabb just kept throwing these floaters over James thrash. And then was the, the one was the intercepted. That was like the death knell. I remember that one. Yeah. So there's a couple of pretty, pretty heartbreaking ones out there.

Philly is full of, of this sheer, not quite making it basically yeah um i mean you can even think last year the philly's losing you know getting swept by the pirates when they were like two games out from being in the playoffs yeah it's just that's just philadelphia fucking sucks um but yeah i would say yeah the most recent is the is the kawaii dagger um all right and but yeah thanks tim and that and that did that message get weak like did it start off super deep and then get high pitched i didn't hear that i wasn't really paying attention it did on my end um that's a zen caster thing um excuse me All right. We do have some DMs. All right.

Do we want to take the first one? Do you mind going just because my throat is starting to really hurt? No, no problem. Thank you. All right. Metric Mike. Hello, Tommy A. Liam.

In Ohio, after the NCAA's change of policy and student athletes being able to get paid for their name and age likeness, the Ohio High School Athletic Association considered changes to their policy on such matters. The change would allow student-athletes to sign endorsement agreements as long as their team, schools, and the Ohio logo are not used and there's no endorsements from companies that don't support the mission of education-based athletics.

It's something, you know, no Pornhub can't sponsor your, you know, your player, right? Curious thoughts on this is typically, typically discussion on the topic is usually focused on college students. I call being sort of off guard when it was mentioned in local news earlier this year.

Personally, I have some concerns as a high school student for most of their career aren't adults. So this could lead to some pressure related issue. I feel like probably creating stress from over-engaged sports's it i'm not dead against it um it's more my off-the-cuff feelings when i heard about it p.s hope you are feeling better tom all right this was something like the week after i had covid yes i'm feeling better uh i have an opinion on this i do too go ahead i think i kind of agree with you, Mike. They should wait until they're...

I think they should be until they're 18 because I don't... Yeah, I'm fine with seniors being able to do it. I don't trust sports parents. No. Not abusing the shit out of kids. American sports parents are the most deranged. You know, we have to be the best at everything in this country. We're best at being fucking deranged.

That is the damn truth. Yeah. So, yeah, that's what I feel like. Yeah, if you're 18, whatever. But if you're a kid, I don't think that should be allowed. No, I think that's probably about right. You know, in the ideal world, you wouldn't even need any of these anyway, because we wouldn't be marketing players.

Right. Yeah. All right. The next message from anonymous. And yeah, they wanted to remain anonymous. And the next two messages overall are kind of related to the experience of being like,

you know, LGBTQ and in sports or in sports fandoms. So they're anonymous pronouns. They, well, they said they're a big fan of 10K losses and their pronouns, are they them if you're uncomfortable with their original spelling, which was like X-I-E.

I don't know how that's pronounced. Z-Z-er. Z-Z-Zem then. Z-Zem, yeah. All right. But yeah, I wasn't sure if it was, I was thinking like X-K-S, like X-E-E-R. I don't know. So we're I was thinking like XKS, like Xeer.

I don't know. So we're sorry if we fucked that up. Yeah, so I'll just use they, them, just so I don't fuck it up. So I used to be in sports when I was a tween and not quite much anymore. Not really by choice. I'm a hockey and baseball fan, Texan, so my first experience of hockey was Dallas Stars.

We don't have a team allegiance, just love the games. And then it's not my first interaction with this kind of thing. Also a NASCAR fan. And my experience of sports fandom and sports fans has given me the idea of a non-binary gnc queer you know what gnc means gender non-conforming thank you we're a person that if i wanted to go to a game i would be risking my life on the occasions i've been around sports fans it's always been unpleasant bigotry at worst or tolerating me at best i don't ever feel welcome i feel like everyone is just waiting for me to leave it's made me less and less able to watch sports because i feel alone in my enjoyment because the people i could be going out there and

enjoying it with would react with a harsh reaction because i'm not hiding everything about myself expressing my identity and that makes me feel lonely depressed reminded me of another thing bigots took from me sorry that got heavy love y'all and the stuff y'all do this podcast the first time i feel what likes him forever i can be a sports fan again so i have to i messaged them back with like a like actual like response and said like that last part really makes like me feel good and that we can be a a way for people who aren't in, you know, don't conform to like what regular sports fans like that. You can at least engage in sports fandom together online and not have to. So that part made me happy.

The rest of us wanted to go out to the nearest sports bar and redact it. Yeah. Go to, go to Port Richmond and just crack everybody in there over the head with a nine iron yeah yeah um oh at least that's not um we didn't specify date yeah exactly and i i do i do feel like there there are fandoms that would be more like accepting and like fan groups that are more accepting and yeah i think that's the reason people have one of the reasons people have gotten to american soccer is just because like it's it's you know from the ground up and

you know soccer fandom at least the united states to me doesn't have that implied toxicity that every other fandom does it definitely brings with it like the i think it's a lot of fans are like more traveled like like they like europe more and that just tends to like make you more turns out traveling and having other perspectives makes you less of an asshole right usually not universally but well i think you know we'll talk about this in the bonus but one of the things is like just how like i understand that that baseball is more diverse than ever but it's really just dominicans and white guys now well that's that's what it's actually like less diverse in terms of like of black like players you know it's less diverse in terms of what kind of of the the how wealthy the players are like you have to have like family who've been in baseball before

right like at this point it's it's it's and sports are becoming more and more the separated from the fan bases and i think mls being being an upcoming sport that maybe something to connect more so i don't know maybe maybe you know looking for like a mls fan group but there's got to be if there isn't there's there should be someone by putting together like a network of like different fan groups of sports teams that are welcoming. Also, if you don't already, follow Victoria Scott on Twitter.

That's right. Just because she's really into motorsport, she's a trans woman, you should definitely go listen to what she has to say, because I've got to take her to a dirt track race somewhere in central Pennsylvania in the near future yeah um well no one's gonna say shit around you no um but do it i dare you yeah um yeah so i like like the experience is it's like fucked up to hear

that but you know if if people can start forming a community just listening to like and there's other leftist sports podcasts too like we had tipping pictures of course i'm sure there's for other sports that we need to link up with but um yeah um thank you for message um our last message today is from henry um uh with regards to the mail-in about homophobia on sports latest episode i found collegiate rowing to be pretty accepted regards sexuality and gender identity on both my team and online good on my team there is one openly non-binary person a handful of people that use he they or she they pronouns and a good number of the team is openly not straight rowing does have the issue of being

extremely white most because the equipment is so expensive oh yeah there's a lot that could be done to make rowing less white. And the bohouse ever out in Cleveland has made some efforts to boost diversity. When the only high schools that have rowing teams are the private Catholic schools and the copper inner ring suburbs, there's a limit to how far they can go. I think a large part of it is the way rowing works.

When the coxswain makes a call, the whole boat has commit with no hesitation order to wins. In general, the coxswain is 120 pound ish woman around six foot tall so that pushes the way the type of guy who gets mad about women being uh base coaches are announcing um my my brother like a tinier guy uh was a coxswain um because he did not fit with the football guys so he sure okay i can say that at least my brother had a similar experience just want to real quick shout

out Rocky River High School in Rocky River Ohio joy my friend is not going to listen to this but she wrote for them they're dinner yeah and she is terrified rowing is also like really good just exercise

yeah Ross is a rower that's right that's how he exercises is his rowing is also like really good just exercise yeah ross is a rower that's right that's how he exercises is uh his rowing machine um and and they did have an asterisk there and we're on the 120 pound this is in an effort to reduce unhealthy amounts of weight loss eating disorders if a coxswain weighs in 120 pounds they have to literally sandbag to get up weight yep and then they said this turned into a massive ramble that's what we do every week man so uh you know no worries the the main point is i found a sport that's pretty accepting queer people it has its issues with being a hundred nearly 100 white and lightweight categories giving people eating disorders but it's been good for me so that's good i mean i maybe some of the

olympic sports are a little more um a little more open um you know it's it's it's it's different you know and especially if the if the sport is is not monogender you know um right uh so uh fuck all right so that's this has been a short one um uh leave us alone yeah

because people are not on the east coast so it's been a little too yeah it's been too dark lately for a joke um that and i need to order like a joke okay there's some out of jokes um give us a call 267-371-7218 um if you if we're still willing to hear experiences like being lgbtq um or you know if even if not that like like being poor being a minority POC you know any of that kind of stuff in sports we're interested in those takes
