Starting point is 00:00:00 He is actually going to eject a fan. Because bad things happen in Philadelphia, bad things. The fan jumped into the penalty box area. Joy just come to Philadelphia and stand here and dodge ice balls. All right. Back to 10,000 guns. 10,000 guns. 10,000 guns. 10,000 guns. 10,000 guns. Yeah, once this paint show gets big enough, P226, baby.
Starting point is 00:00:51 There we go. If I can find one in stock, that's my fucking problem. Yeah, no, it's a nice gun. I think that's the Coast Guard sidearm, if I'm not mistaken. Or was Coast Guard sidearm. Now who's Googling super loud? Now I'm clicky clacky. Maybe my gain's too high.
Starting point is 00:01:14 Well, you'll appreciate it, Hogs. It used to be the.229. Oh, that's like a gun. Yeah. But they got Glocks now. Oh, shit. They got Glock 19. oh that's like a gun yeah uh but they got glocks now oh shit they got block 19 i love i love to not have a safety on my boat gun i will never ever like glocks you cannot make me
Starting point is 00:01:35 i mean they are pretty safe like they are reliable but just i just want i just want the goddamn safety man yes but also I would like a PT-26. Thank you. Those are cool, too. I want a CZ-75. I know you do. Just because it's sexy. I also would like a fucking 1911
Starting point is 00:01:57 just to fucking have one. Just because. I have a bit of FUD in me. Yeah. I like a 19 of FUD in me so yeah I like a 1911 but 19 owning a 1911 does make you you know what it makes you you have really strong opinions about
Starting point is 00:02:16 D-Day yeah real real strong you could recite Band of Brothers yeah I started making current watch band of brothers with me yes yeah that is that is a very good thing to do we're gonna get through this together lady i made my wife watch it as well good yeah so she understands the hell we're talking about she understands the sacrifices the airborne made
Starting point is 00:02:46 well which by the way i don't know if you know how much you're into like steven ambrose like he's a shitty shitty historian yeah and a lot of stuff is basically he relied on the guys he liked the most yeah it's dick winners and friends yeah and dick winners uh kind of a bit of a self-promoter yeah uh possible anti-semite i've had to point that out to corinne i was like this is very much It's Dick Winters and friends. Yeah. And Dick Winters, uh, kind of a bit of a self promoter. Yeah. Uh, possible anti-Semite. I've had to point that out to current. I was like, this is very much Dick Winters and friends.
Starting point is 00:03:10 Yeah. Like the Dick Winters as he's portrayed is really nice. I like him, but you know, he kind of, all the shit that they have about Sobel is all from winners perspective. Yeah. And he was a Protestant boy from the middle of Pennsylvania.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Yep. Yep. You put two and two together. Oh, now you're clicky clack. It's your turn. Now I'm clicky clacky. Yeah, from New Holland. I know where I've seen his birthplace actually.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Yeah, because old Holland wasn't racist enough. No. He went to F&M because of course he fucking did. Bill, you used to be able – before he passed, you used to be able to see Bill Garnier though like hobbling around South Philly, going to bars, and he would just tell stories. So apparently he was like a – he's like legit south philly legend uh i feel like you know for all the criticisms we made of the of the airborne if they made a television show after you uh you don't have to pay the drink anymore no i mean and it was world war ii so they were i mean, he had like a fucking axe to grind against the Nazis, too. So I'm like, he's he's fine.
Starting point is 00:04:37 I mean, I'm glad he died before like the BLM stuff happened, because I did not want to hear Bill Garnier's takes on the on the Columbus statue. No, no, I wouldn't say so. No. Yeah, that that would not be enjoyable at all that would be like having free access to like bryce harper and to hear what his thoughts are on politics i'm relieved we don't have that i don't uh i i don't need to know mr harper's really any of his opinions i wouldn't say my only opinion the only opinions that harper has that I care about are on hitting a ball real hard. Speaking of which, we're going to talk about that. Speaking of which, because this is, in fact, a sports podcast. Supposedly.
Starting point is 00:05:17 This is not Lions led by Liams where Joe has been detained and I have come on as the alternate history major to take over the podcast. No, no. This is in fact another episode. The 21st. We're allowed to drink now, Liam. Yay! We did it. The 21st episode of
Starting point is 00:05:40 10,000 Losses. Our baby's an adult. Yes. I'm kicking our baby off our health insurance. Yes. Our baby can now vote back before whatever amendment that was. And with this 10,000 losses,
Starting point is 00:05:56 the only sports podcast that exists. Not just Philadelphia. We're the only sports podcast that exists. Yeah, we've expanded. Apologies to tipping pitches to our friends. Yeah, we've expanded. Apologies to tipping pitches to our friends. Yeah, we own you now. And yeah, send your mic set up over because that's pretty sweet. I'm your host, Tom Payne.
Starting point is 00:06:15 My pronouns are he, him. And with me is my co-host, EA. Liam. Liam Anderson. My pronouns are he, him. Yes. So thanks, everybody, for all the DMs and stuff you sent us. We have way too much shit in the mailbag now.
Starting point is 00:06:32 So we were, I guess, starving for content a little bit. And now suddenly too many messages. So actually, no, keep it coming. We won't be able to get to everything every episode. But, yeah, here on St. Patrick's Eve, we are awaiting – I don't know what we're awaiting. I guess we're awaiting St. Patrick's Day. Yeah, we're going to leave out little minis of Jameson. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Well, speaking of history – yeah. Speaking of history, I just want to say that any of you guys who are riding the Aaron Express, did you know about the history of the Aaron Express? Liam, I'm not sure if you... No, no, no, Tom. Will you tell me about the history of the Aaron Express? Right. So it's kind of got some sketchy origins, kind of like the term paddy wagon being a slur for a police van. So the Aaron Express was the nickname for the paddy patrol. That was, that was the fugitive slave act. Cause you remember the Irish were the first slaves. You know how the Irish were the first slaves, Leo?
Starting point is 00:07:39 Yes. Of course. I'm saying this completely unironically. Well, yeah. So the pad so the Patty Patrol would go around And they would round everybody up And they would send them back down south And that was the Erin Express So if you go out on the Erin Express tomorrow or this weekend
Starting point is 00:07:57 And you get shit-faced Just so you know that you're engaging in America's long, sordid history of anti-Irish. You are. It's disgusting and we will not stand for it. Yeah. No Irish need apply. Well,
Starting point is 00:08:09 you know what? Not on this podcast. All Irish should apply. Just 200 Irish dudes. They're all, they're all named Liam. Some of them are named Patty, a hooligan,
Starting point is 00:08:20 but you know, Sully, Sean, Pat, Patty, Francis, uh, Francis, Matt, patty a hooligan but you know sully sean pat patty francis uh francis matt all the saints you got oh you got to get the four you know the four evangelists you got john you got luke you know you got them all so uh yeah so just just so you know that that erin express is full shit and you're a bad person for going to it yeah well uh so yeah and uh so hopefully when this comes out st patrick's day will be over and you can listen to this
Starting point is 00:08:53 hungover on your way to work breaking news breaking news breaking news but it's not exciting joe buck and troy acheman are moving over to espn so don't have to fucking hear him on eagles broadcasts oh oh lovely lovely good news i don't like any of the fox announcers really that much but that's good yeah i i did get a lot more respect for joe buck and troy achman after the flyover incident? Oh, absolutely. Yeah, Joe Buck actually isn't that bad. He's gotten better. He's gotten better.
Starting point is 00:09:30 Because his whole shtick early on was being emotionless, and now that he gets excited about stuff, it's better. And Troy Aikman honestly isn't awful, but they were kind of – I guess they were their A-18 or however you would say it you know that was their best pair of guys I don't know who who's next man up there for Fox
Starting point is 00:09:53 the guy from Madden what's his name oh I have no idea who they're gonna Pat Summerall I have no idea is he still alive? Pat Summerall yeah I'm not a fan Pat Summerall? I have no idea. Is he still alive? Pat Summerall? Yeah. I'm not a fan of him.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Is Pat Summerall still alive? No, he's been dead for nine years. Oh, okay. Well, you know, his reputation lingers. I was so confident he was still alive. He had unfinished business. Oh, that's tough. Yeah. So if you have thoughts on Pat Summerall being dead for nine years,
Starting point is 00:10:34 you can call into our voicemail line at 267-371-7218 or go to patreon.com. I think it's slash 10k losses. You just look it up. 10,000 losses. Don't get confused by 10,000 posts. You will not get any sports content. You don't like sports over there. Fuckers. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Well, speaking of sports, since this is ostensibly a sports podcast, when we last spoke, I had the sads. You did have the sads. i had the sads you did you did have the sads i had the sads and then something miraculous happened on thursday they did it i did it boys and girls baseball's back got a got a fucking love for the boys the boys are summer back Play Q John Fogerty center field

Starting point is 00:11:43 I was like oh it's the Phillies. Well, it all gets a pick-em, Tom. Yeah. Well, some people do, but I don't. But my wife keeps going, well, why can't I just like the Dodgers? No. That wasn't your first game. You missed out on that.
Starting point is 00:12:03 If you're so mad about it, go back in time. Yeah, go to LA. But yeah, baseball's back. They managed to do it. We have a collective bargaining agreement that kind of funny that the executive committee,
Starting point is 00:12:20 like the eight, the guys who were in the room bargaining, voted unanimously against the deal and then the guys who were in the room bargaining voted unanimously against the deal. Yes. And then the player reps voted in favor, which I think is interesting. Kind of, I don't know what that shows. Listen to our Tipping Pitches friends,
Starting point is 00:12:40 if they had a podcast that we didn't take over. Yeah, we unfortunately, as we know uh we did seize them yeah so go listen to them they did a really good in-depth look at everything and you know it just was unfortunate it was that the league was pulling every dirty trick it could to put the fans against the players uh there was even i don't know if you saw this national fans union thing i did see that yeah like that's totally uh mlb front like there's no way it's not right like if you put it if you put your email in there and like set it up that that's the only email you're going to use i guarantee you that you're going to start getting like mlb like mlb morning
Starting point is 00:13:20 lineup and uh all that shit you're going to start getting sold tickets and if you're really if you're an idiot and go into baseball games like I do I mean I guess that's for you then but baseball's back I'm going opening weekend on the 9th and you can't for some stupid romantic love
Starting point is 00:13:40 reason yeah well as it turns out I will be at Disney World that sounds nice yeah if you like disney i like when my girlfriend's parents pay for me to go to disney all right yeah that works too yeah uh all in all seriousness uh i i have grudgingly come around on disney oh have you? Yeah. Like, I still, like, I'm not a Disney boy, but I'm just like, all right, the movies have some merit.
Starting point is 00:14:10 That is as far as I'm willing to concede. I hope Corinne heard that. I mean, yeah, they're fine, I guess. And this is not like a new take that I have. If you've known me, I have been on Disney my entire life it's just never been something I don't know if it started out in just some like dumb like girls like it like some dumb thing like that when I was a kid but I remember being like five or six and being I don't like Disney movies so I don't know what the fuck's wrong with me nothing uh yeah please enable me more yeah i uh
Starting point is 00:14:49 i i watched uh seeing red the the puberty movie oh yeah it has some merit i mean it's funny it's sweet uh all right so that thank thank you uh is michael Eisner still the president of Disney or is it someone else now? I forget the dude's name now. Well, as long as the check clears, you're welcome for that. Bob Chapik. Yeah, all right, Bob.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Look, you got your mention. I hope you're happy. Give us your money. And the check better goddamn clear I gotta tell you that I'm not dealing with that shit I'm not going into Philly To deal with the goddamn you know Credit union or whatever
Starting point is 00:15:33 I ain't got time for that shit Anyway so back to baseball Well it's kind of funny you're going down there Because I'm going down to Miami So you can keep the plane like the week after. I'm going to see – we're going to see the Phillies in Miami at Lone Depot. Oh, that sounds dope. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:50 So I can't wait to spend less on a Major League Baseball ticket than you would on an Iron Pigs game. That's so good. I feel bad because a lot of people shit on the park, but apparently the food's decent. The park, actually, if you look at Lone Depot, it's like the only modernist, I guess. I can do architecture up to like 1780. That's why we call you Trad Top. Yeah. I'm not good on the modern stuff.
Starting point is 00:16:24 I think it's like the only modernist stadium out there. I kind of like the way it looks. A lot of people shit on it, but I think it's the only modernist stadium out there I kind of like the way it looks A lot of people shit on it But I think it's a good take on a baseball stadium A 12 ounce draft beer for $5 Yeah No the 5 ounce draft beer for $12 That's at Citizens Bank Park Yeah
Starting point is 00:16:38 That's a pretty damn good price For baseball That's minimum $9 At Citizens Bank Exactly It sucks It's a shame too because the food at Citizens Bank is pretty good So yeah
Starting point is 00:16:55 Keep an eye out for me in section 420 Or 421 I will probably be going to like 10-11 games this year Maybe we do For patrons We'll put it together or something 21. I will probably be going to like 10, 11 games this year. Maybe we do for patrons. We'll put it together or something. I don't know. We'll think about it.
Starting point is 00:17:12 10K loss this night where we just get in a giant fight as a unit. Yeah. And then we're banned for life from CBP. Fuck it. I don't want to go anyway. He said Bob and I got himself. I wanted to stay in the parking lot. It's better to go anyway. He said, Bob and I got himself. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:27 I wanted to stay in the parking lot. It's been out here anyway. Yeah. Yeah. It's the foods, the food stupor. That's not, that's not incorrect. I just love,
Starting point is 00:17:37 there are certain, there are certain like unhoused people that will come to the, to the lots and just party with anyone who's still tailgating like after the game starts yeah and then like they get like i'm like dude power to you hell yeah man like go like fuck yeah and that's like that's like a really good idea actually you think about it like if you if you are in this shitty unfortunate situation as capitalists how old we live in go down to the bank park it's a free food you know fuck exactly uh life of the party so so speaking of baseball and phillies so baseball was back uh spring training had started on saturday the first spring training game will be the day this
Starting point is 00:18:18 comes out on friday and i think the first televised one for phillies fans will be on saturday they're all at 105. Yeah. Yeah. I will be watching it. I don't know about it. You know, I will be watching the first spring training game instead of trying to find a stream for the Philadelphia union.
Starting point is 00:18:33 So, uh, sorry. We were a union podcast for as long as we had to be a union. Yeah. As long as it was on ABC and I could watch it. Cool. Uh, I'm not
Starting point is 00:18:45 signing up for ESPN Plus or whatever it's called. Oh, I have ESPN Plus. Well, we'll talk about it. But I am watching the Phillies on Saturday because I need baseball. And one of the things that you might see Saturday
Starting point is 00:19:01 is someone we signed in free agency today. A beefy king, a large boy, our favorite kind of baseball player, which is one. All gas, no brakes, baby. Yeah. Baseball players who we think that we are or could have been Kyle Schwarber. Welcome to Philadelphia, Kyle. Hello. And
Starting point is 00:19:26 I am excited. It's not Chris Bryant who's still out there, and we'll talk about it. We could have him if we try. We still could. When they told Bryce Harper about Kyle Schwarber being signed, he was just like,
Starting point is 00:19:43 can we go get another one? Yeah. We need another guy. He can look kind of sad. Um, no, I want my friends. Uh, 30 million a year.
Starting point is 00:19:53 We can probably, we can probably get him a friend. Yeah. I mean, so we're, we're, so Kyle Schorber signed, uh,
Starting point is 00:19:58 uh, $79 million for four years. Uh, the dude's pretty young. He is 29 years old. So, I mean, we'll have him until he's 33. That's actually pretty good.
Starting point is 00:20:15 He's going to get paid, like I said, four years, $79 million. He brings us within $10 million of the artificially of the artificial limit, which is the $230 million competitive balance tax threshold. Yeah. Go over. So if you sign Bryant and you're going to go like $10 million over, it's something like $3 million extra.
Starting point is 00:20:43 Go over. Go over. Just go over. Just go over. Look, we have the Braves and we have the Mets in our division. Steve Cohen is out of his fucking mind. He's buying every single fucking baseball player. They even
Starting point is 00:20:55 introduced a new tier of competitive balance tax just for Steve Cohen. Like, fuck the Mets, but Jesus Christ, i would love to be a mets fan right now right this dude is spending insane money because he wants a fucking ring that's what it owned like every single owner should be a psychopath of that of that yeah exactly no that that's absolutely true like that's the thing it's like you have to be willing to like i hate to say
Starting point is 00:21:22 it spend stupid money uh yeah i wonder who said that uh who did say that yeah was that john it's a mystery john moneybags millington uh the cigar empresario of the greater delver valley area fuck ass yeah dude like go go fucking spend the money go get chris bryant go make first off you make bryce har, really happy. He's your best player. You do not want Bryce Harper demanding a trade because he can be a fucking pain in the ass, as the Nationals will tell you, if he's not happy. And, dude, he's in his prime. He just won MVP. You have Zach Wheeler, who was a Cy Young finalist.
Starting point is 00:22:00 Our rotation looks good. Our bullpen still – it looks better. The Phillies are not a bad team and we're we just need but we're in a situation where we have a really expensive payroll because our we did not draft and develop players for a really long time so all this money that's going to be spent has to be spent on guys with free agents so you're going to have to go over the fucking competitive balance tax and think of all the money you're going to make with chris bryant jerseys kyle schorber jerseys and playoffs when you go when you have a deep playoff run and you have citizens bank park fitting 40 000 people in like a random
Starting point is 00:22:38 fucking tuesday night in the middle of the summer as opposed to being half full like i don't understand why owners can't see that and the fear of paying three million dollars extra like it's like this weird i i don't know how i can place it like psychoses what's that that's a weird psychoses yeah like like it's a fear like like i don't know about this three extra million dollars like if for some reason it really chaps a lot of owners hides that like it's like well well, it's a tax, so I don't want to spend it because I'm not sure. It's a waste of money. And these guys are all fucking businessmen. They know what investments are.
Starting point is 00:23:14 You do know that you have to spend money to earn money, at least in theory. I don't get it. But anyway, so Kyle Schwarber comes. So what is he? He is a big, beefy boy. He is a left-handed slugger. He's probably going to play DH in left field, maybe first base. He can actually catch in case of emergency.
Starting point is 00:23:40 So that's kind of a good thing to have. He's 6 foot 229. So he, he, he, he, he eats. And,
Starting point is 00:23:49 and these are the best, these are my favorite baseball players. Like the John Crocs, the guys who just have no business being professional. Yeah. Cause, cause it's like, well,
Starting point is 00:23:59 beefy boys exist in football, but there are, they are in way better shape. You know, they have to be physically – like they have to have stamina. They got to do cardio. Kyrie Forver does not have to do cardio. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:13 Good for him, man. Good for him. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, you know, last year he played out of his fucking mind. He hit 32 home runs. He had a streak where he hit 16 home runs in 18 games. Wow.
Starting point is 00:24:29 He got to the playoffs. He was with Boston in the playoffs. Yep. Yeah, so... So we... No, genuinely, the guy's got some playoff experience. Apparently, he's a real good clubhouse guy. Super nice dude.
Starting point is 00:24:45 So that's also good to have, especially since we lost Kutch, who was kind of like the clubhouse guy. Right. And, yeah, so looking at projections for him this year, he might come down to earth a little bit in terms of his stats because last year was insane. But you never know. But he had a good year before that, too. Well, 2020, he stunk. Oh, I thought he was good. last year he was good okay last year he was he was really good last year he had uh he bad two 266 uh seven uh that's seven three uh 74 on base fifth five five four slugging percentage which is insane his
Starting point is 00:25:24 was almost at 4, which is way to on base average. 4 is fucking amazing. If you look at a stack of WRC+, if you have 150, you're better than the top 50
Starting point is 00:25:39 percentage. I think that's how that stat works. He was up there in the top percentile of hitters. His defense is not that good. Does not matter. All gas, no brakes.
Starting point is 00:25:53 This team defensively sucks ass anyway. Who cares? Our best fielder is Gene Segura on the infield. Our best outfield is fucking Oduble fucking Herrera, who's back. I'm fucking pissed off. Yeah, I'm pissed off too, dude.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Yeah. That was it. That was the best we could do. And you know what the sad thing is? Yeah. Kind of was. If you looked at who was available. God.
Starting point is 00:26:19 I just don't sign him back because he fucking sucks. Because he tried to kill his girlfriend twice? Yeah. And then we got Jis Familia as a grand picture. Who also went after his partner. And I just want to put this to bed right now because you see – I saw this online where it was like, well, you only go after not white players who are accused of domestic abuse. Now in this podcast, buddy, because fuck Brett Myers, fuck any of these guys,
Starting point is 00:26:51 any of these domestic abusers, fuck them. I have said this about Mike Vick, actually, and we've talked about, I think, the racism in the NFL and about second chances. I'm fine if these guys get a second chance. It doesn't need to be in professional sports. Mike Vick actually kind of has been low-key working with animals and stuff like that,
Starting point is 00:27:12 apparently. Mike Vick seems to have genuinely learned his lesson at Field of Wands. Yes, he has. Thank you, Corinne. Oh, we got guest hosts. Go Birds. Yeah, go Birds. Thank you, Corinne Oh, we got guest hosts Go Birds Thank you, Corinne
Starting point is 00:27:28 Go Phils We're talking baseball, Corinne But you tried Alright then I've been informed they're the same sport Yes Which is why they have the same tab on ESPN.com That is why you get Eagles chants when the Phillies are doing really bad.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Yeah, well, it's, you know, hey, man. Yeah, by the way, can we not do that at Phillies games, please? I'm going to do that at Phillies games. So when we go. Yeah. And, yeah, you definitely need to pick it. We won't schedule it on the air with exact seats and our credit card numbers. But, yeah, pick two, four, nine, you definitely need to pick it. One won't schedule on the air with exact seats and our credit card numbers. But, yeah, pick two, four, nine, zero.
Starting point is 00:28:09 One, two, three. You get my social for that? Yeah. If you actually just say your social, it gets bleeped out anyway. It's automatic. Thanks to Zencastr's technology. Yeah, that's what happens. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:24 Let's see. We also picked up Brad Hand, who's what happens. Yeah. Let's see. We also picked up Brad Hand, who is a cooked lefty. We keep picking up these cooked... I mean, it is good that his last name is Hand, though, right? That's normative determinism, I guess. Brad, red right hand. Oh, his birthday's in
Starting point is 00:28:40 four days. He's a left-hander, though. His birthday's what? In four days. Oh, congratulations, Brad Hand though his birthday's what in four days oh uh congratulations brent handle on a birthday uh what is he like 35 32 he will be 32 okay he's younger than me i'm calling him old uh shit wow this is win law this win loss record is not very appealing to me well i piece of reliever so so... I know, even so, being 18 in the hole. What was his...
Starting point is 00:29:09 What was his... His ERA is 368. Alright, welcome to Advanced Statistics with Tom Payne. Look it up yourself. What's his FIP? Doesn't say. I'm on Wikipedia, man. I'm on Fangraphs. I can actually look it up. Clicky clack time.
Starting point is 00:29:25 Brad Hand. We should have a theme every time someone types. Oh, his fit. That's bad. That's what you want to hear. That's fielder independent pitching on an ERA scale. So taking the fielders out of it, his ERA last year was 4.58.
Starting point is 00:29:50 But the year before it was 1.37. Anything below two is real good. So 1.37. Like 2020, he was good. He was on three teams last year. That's how you know a guy's good. When he's been, he was signed, traded, made DFA, picked up some waivers. James Harden was on three teams in two years.
Starting point is 00:30:09 Let's not do this. Well, it's not DFA, though. Because he probably was picked up on waivers. Yeah. Yeah, because he's played long enough that he can't send him to the minors. Yeah, because he's so good. Yeah, actually, well, he used to be really good.
Starting point is 00:30:23 Like, well, not really good. He used to be decent. Serviceable. I mean, if you look at his stretch in 2016 through 2020, I mean, when you get a reliever with a war in the – actually, wins above replacements, like one and up, that's actually pretty good. But last year he was not good at all and with our his ground ball percent was
Starting point is 00:30:49 real almost 40 ground balls and our defense sucks oh great yeah yeah yeah so so um yeah another time we'll talk about um you know uh to, our zone rating and, and other, other advanced metrics. But, uh, I guess say let's, let's get, let's get things.
Starting point is 00:31:12 Think of some positive things on fan graphs. They did the zips prediction. That's like the thing they do every year to see what they think. Sure. They basically boot up MLB, the show and run a franchise with the current rosters. Yeah. As you go. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:24 And so they think that we have a 48 chance of playoffs which is actually i that that doesn't surprise me much lower chance of clinching a division that makes sense with the with the mets and the braves and the zips is actually high on the braves i don't know if the briefs are gonna they felt like they were being stripped for parts a couple days ago. Well, they definitely did. I mean, Freddie Freeman and his handsome face and his friendly demeanor will, unless
Starting point is 00:31:54 like the fucking Met sign or something like that, we will not be seeing him around Citizens Bank Park as much. I just hate watching such a nice guy succeed. Yeah, handsome looking goofball just destroy the Phillies every time. And he's really not the Phillies killer, though. It's Acuna, so they still have him.
Starting point is 00:32:15 And he's back. Correct. Yeah. But the Mets are going to be insane this year. Absolutely insane this year. Thanks, Steve Cohen. Yeah, thanks. Thanks.
Starting point is 00:32:24 I mean, but, you know, hopefully keep inspiring other owners to do this shit. But I think this comes back to, you know, go over the luxury tax, John. Just do it. Maybe we do do it. Dave Dabrowski doesn't seem to leak anything. I didn't know we were that close to Schwarber, and you didn't hear anything until today, like this morning, like an hour before he was signed, that like, oh,
Starting point is 00:32:51 Phillies are very hot in on him. And the last we heard is they're really hot in on Chris Bryant. So it was between him and the Rockies. The only other thing is that maybe the Padres, because we might need to mention this fernando tatis jr fucking broke his hand on a motorcycle yep because of the lockout he couldn't go to team doctors um and get his hand fixed you know before he needed to have surgery on it. Don't they have clauses in their contracts that don't let them do shit like that?
Starting point is 00:33:32 I thought so. Yeah. Driving fast cars and shit like that. Eagles famously lost a player that way. There's a Markel Fult folds conspiracy theory that he was on a motorcycle and yeah yeah i mean the marlins lost a lost a really really good young pitcher because he was driving a boat drunk at night at dark really fast uh it does happen um but yeah you're typically not be able to do this um and yeah so uh i like to imagine that he was riding his motorcycle like with just all the kids following him and he tried
Starting point is 00:34:13 to do a wheelie right at least he didn't kill himself yeah yeah yeah no and tentease if you haven't seen him personally he's real fun yeah and he spends like 45 minutes with the kids before the game like just signing autographs and talking to kids like that is the coolest fucking thing in the world. Oh, yeah, man. And the fact that I mean, I said this on Twitter, on the on the team team account, on the podcast account. Yeah, we're a team now, guys. Congratulations, everybody. That. Yeah, not the MLB did this this themselves because those kids are fans for life. And now you don't have them for at least three months doing that. So I don't know.
Starting point is 00:34:56 You know, at least on the Phillies end, we don't even have gloves anymore. All bats. All bats, no gloves. All gas, no brakes. Just slugging. Three true outcomes baseball, my least favorite kind of baseball. Strike out, home run or walk. Yep.
Starting point is 00:35:13 No small ball. I'm fine with it. I don't care. I hate for sure. I'm trying to see dingers. I want to see – listen. Well, you can come over to my house and see dingers anytime you want. Thank you. I want to see some dongers slapped all over citizens bank park that's what i've always
Starting point is 00:35:30 wanted to do is slap him in the left field slap in the right field slap in the bathroom man all right i'm mounting a kill so that i don't have to see my co-host's penis. So where are the Phillies going this year? What's your prediction, Liam? Divisional round and then crash and burn, baby. Do you think we're clinching the – so you think we're getting past the wild card round? Hell yeah. Why not?
Starting point is 00:36:01 All right. I think we go – oh, man. Do we want my real take or my fake take your real take my real take is we're like like um like 85 and like 80 81 and we just miss we maybe get into the last the last spot in the playoffs and then we just get spanked by, I don't know. Whoever. Yeah, like fucking Brewers or some shit. Somehow, some of the pirates make it in. Honestly, because if you think about it, the only
Starting point is 00:36:35 teams really are LA, Wild West, you have LA, San Francisco, and the Dodgers. Then you have the Mets and the Braves. And then in the Central, it's really just the Brewers. Right. Sorry, Cubs. It's not happening.
Starting point is 00:36:52 Sorry, St. Louis. It's not happening. Fuck the cards. Yeah. So we actually might have – just by process of elimination, have a chance at the wild card slot. Oh, yeah. My WIP take is we're going to win.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Phil's doing it this year, baby. Phil's going all the way. We're getting fucking 90 wins, and Brad Luge is going to come back. And Brad Luge is going to come back. Why the hell not? Yeah. Shane Victorino did say he's getting ready to – Yeah, give me Shane Victorino over Duval Herrera.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Fucking I don't care anymore. I'll tell you this. Shane Victorino probably could still play very good center field. I mean someone's got to have to. I mean I guarantee you he's still more than capable of playing center field. The bat might not be there, but he definitely could play. Don't be a man's wife. Yep, yep, don't need it all
Starting point is 00:37:46 right uh so let's talk about our other favorite sport baseball basketball hockey uh i was gonna i was saying dude let's do uh well we love them all don't we we love them all equally like our children uh hockey uh holy shit this team is in free fall everything sucks go bruins all right we got that out of the way hockey's done we have nothing to say until they do or do not trade jerome this team sucks the team is in free fall it's literally like i was reading an article about them like in the locker room it's like it's like abandon all hope you enter here like my bio is just yelling like it's like it's like it's like 1984 it's just 1984 It's just him on the video screen Just telling them they suck until they do better
Starting point is 00:38:28 Well I'm sure that's working great Yeah the beatings will continue until morale improves That's right Yeah so yeah God damn poor Carter Hart This poor kid Alright fuck it let's talk about basketball Let's talk about what James Harden sucks, right?
Starting point is 00:38:45 Yeah, so if you listen to WIP lately, they're ready. Hey, Craig, do you hear me? I can. Okay, James Harden sucks. I'm hungry. Yeah, so the Harden haters are out already in Philly. We have turned on him. That was so fast. Like,
Starting point is 00:39:09 oh, this is what we're going to get with playoff hard and second round exit. First round exit is kind of shit if you listen to WIP. I don't listen to WIP. I'd rather put a gun in my mouth. Or buy Liam a 226 so he can put a gun to his mouth.
Starting point is 00:39:30 The loss to the Nets really fucking sucked. I was so excited for that game. I really thought that we were going to at least show up. Yeah, that was pretty fucking embarrassing. Harden forgot how to shoot. Embiid forgot how to shoot three throws uh he scored most of his points via via the the penalty stripe i believe yeah he went
Starting point is 00:39:53 5 of 17 from the floor and 15 of 19 from the free throw line james harden went 3 of 17 His plus minus, minus 30. His defense. I mean, not his defense. The Brooklyn defense was smothering. Brutal. I didn't know they played such good D. And they don't even have fucking Simmons back. No. That's a scary team defensively.
Starting point is 00:40:22 I mean, the Nets are really a better team than the record reveals because I got a guy playing part time. I have had injuries, right? That, that team is scary. Uh, I would not want to see them first round of playoffs.
Starting point is 00:40:37 Cause I think that is, they have, they figured out the Sixers, right? Well, lucky for you, that probably won't be the matchup right now. It's Sixersers. Right. Well, lucky for you, that probably won't be the matchup. Right now, it's Sixers Cavs, interestingly enough.
Starting point is 00:40:50 I'll take that. Are we playing them tonight? Yeah. Yeah. We'll see how they do. Preview for the playoff matchup. We beat the Magic barely in overtime. Then we lost to the Nuggets. Because of those two losses
Starting point is 00:41:05 it's now open season on Harden. Welcome to Philadelphia dude. Sorry. The Philly thing is like you know Philadelphia giveth and Philadelphia taketh. Philly loves to eat its own more than
Starting point is 00:41:22 any other city I've ever seen. He's a great basketball player. He'saky as as you said to me today like he he it happens beating the magic by two is probably i would say it's a worse game because good teams not a is is equally as bad to me as losing to the nets yeah i guess i guess we'll see how it is. People are going after Doc now, too. They're saying he needs to leave. Yeah, that started the day they hired him, though. Who would have surprised that Philadelphia sports fans
Starting point is 00:41:56 would go after a black coach? I know, it's crazy. Yeah. I am not so pessimistic. It's still a good team. I mean, they definitely have a weak bench. DeAndre Jordan has sucked. He's been awful. He has been awful.
Starting point is 00:42:11 He stinks. And we really are missing out. We are missing Curry and Drummond. Yep. Like, those guys were a really good fit. And I wish there was another way to get Harden without him. I'm not going to be doing reddit tier takes where people are like well you know we got fleece and all that shit i i don't think we got fleece but doesn't feel good tell you that yeah i i guess we'll see how
Starting point is 00:42:38 things go i mean the season's starting to wrap up i mean you know you got two months left and you know it's it's going to be it's going to be something to see they're they are going to be in the top three one of the top three seasons of playoffs right and we'll see we'll see how it goes and i think after i think what we'll have is now that we have a point guard and simmons is gone we can sign someone else right in the offseason to fill in that hole. A good backup center
Starting point is 00:43:09 and someone who shoots threes. As opposed to having Danny Green trying to cover Kyrie Irving. Brutality, dude. Yeah, that's not happening. And Durant was good, too. That Nets game,
Starting point is 00:43:28 I think if anything comes out of that, it's not happening. And Durant was good too. Like that Nets game, I think if anything comes out of that, it's a lesson for the Sixers coaching staff to be like, all right, we really need to sort some shit out. Right. The defense just wasn't working. No. Yeah, we got shown up. But one of the highlights, you went to talk about George, George Yang,
Starting point is 00:43:48 hero ball. Yeah. In the, was the fucking nuggets loss where he tried to take over and just bomb shot after shot after shot after shot. Yeah. He's, I mean, he's our best six man. Went two for two for 12. Yeah, I mean, he's our best six man. Went two for 12. Yeah. And Harden actually did alright.
Starting point is 00:44:10 16, 6 of 11 shooting and he got to the free throw line 12 times, making 11 of them. But you look at George Niang's defensive plus minus minus 19. Man, yeah. And he's like our best bench guy.
Starting point is 00:44:26 Like, I mean, it's not our beautiful Turkish boy. Who did not play. Yeah, I wish we could get – 4Khan could get his groove back. I know, man. Yeah. Well, so let's see. Temple didn't make the tournament. Temple did not make it uh go fill out your bracket on
Starting point is 00:44:47 wtyp's twitter account um who do you have as your finals uh i have houston winning it uh against who uh fuck kentucky i think all right i have i have delaware ruckers thank you thank you i had to do it i i was like, I'm just going to see. Well, I guess I technically win, too, if Notre Dame goes all the way, the way the bracket looked was set up. So I'm just – I threw some random upsets in there, and I want Nova to die. Yeah, I mean, I think that's fair.
Starting point is 00:45:24 Nova should die. Yeah. so uh yeah i mean i think that's fair nova should die yeah so yeah we go do that go go follow the uh the the tournament i like uh and don't be shy don't be like i have no information on this that is a tradition the rest of us yeah yeah most people fill out ncaa brackets having no idea that's like that's the point that's half the fun you half the fun. I like this team's name. I like their colors and not knowing anything about the rankings. I think we play the Cavs tonight as they're recording us.
Starting point is 00:45:59 We'll see how the Sixers do. Hopefully we don't lose to the fucking Cavs. We can hope. We're at them, man. We're better away. So Harden will probably show up. And, you know, there's not much nightlife in Cleveland. Also, I do want to talk about the W2IP bracket just for one second.
Starting point is 00:46:20 Yeah. Whoever made the bracket name Gobble My N my nuts coach k i hope you do well oh i'm i'm punch your dad so i figured you were punch your dad yeah yeah i mean i i tell everyone to punch their dad because i can't punch my dad yeah well yeah i could punch the St. Lawrence River. There you go. I'm going to leave that mysterious room. Oh my God, did his dad drown in the St. Lawrence River?
Starting point is 00:46:52 What a sensitive soul. Alright. Football. Hassan Renick is back. Yeah, this is good news I've always liked this guy He started out in the Cardinals
Starting point is 00:47:09 As a mediocre linebacker And then it's like Oh what if we use him as a defensive end And he has Just torn shit up He's been amazing So that is a great signing Bring him home.
Starting point is 00:47:25 Camden native. Congratulations. You did it. Yeah. Temple grad. Yep. Like, fuck yeah, man. Future Temple Owls coach.
Starting point is 00:47:36 Hassan Redick. I can see his retirement ceremony from the Eagles already. Already a Philly legend. even more a Philly legend. Just, God damn it, use him as a fucking pass rusher. Please do not try the linebacker punch to him. He cannot cover the – he is not a Sam. They tried him as a Sam. He is not a Sam.
Starting point is 00:47:58 It doesn't work. He's not that – but he is so good at finding gaps and getting around linemen. I just – all right, I got to control myself a little bit here, Liam. Just him just demolishing Carson Wentz. Just imagine it. Think about like a guy who was raised on Delaware River water and just demolishing Carson Wentz. Hell yeah. We need to see it.
Starting point is 00:48:29 Yeah, chef's kiss there. I want to watch baseball, but I've got something I'm really looking forward to right now. Absolutely, man. There's been a couple moves I guess since we last talked. There was the Russell Wilson wilson trade to denver to denver that's that's sort of been the big headliner uh aaron uh what's his name rogers is staying in green bay yeah he resigned and then uh the goat
Starting point is 00:48:59 is back yeah tom brady unretired for what out for the dude who paid $518,000 for his last touchdown ball. Yeah. Good investment there, bud. I will never understand the guys who get... And Julio Jones just got released. Okay. All right. Howie?
Starting point is 00:49:20 He's over the hill, but why not? Yeah, why not? He's always Torched us That's My theory But yeah, no Football offseason for
Starting point is 00:49:36 Agency started, we'll see who else Gets picked up If Deshaun Watson makes his way to the Eagles I will not be watching, no He's not, out of the, they didn't submit a tree proposal. Okay, good.
Starting point is 00:49:48 So yeah, if that ever did happen, I'm not watching. I'm genuinely not watching the Eagles. I will become a Ravens fan. Oh yeah. You can be a Ravens fan. You can root with me for Ray Lewis.
Starting point is 00:49:57 Yeah. Yeah. There's enough room in the Ravens boat for all of us. Yeah. Killed somebody. Allegedly. Ray Lewis allegedly killed somebody. He was found not guilty.
Starting point is 00:50:07 Michael Vick was convicted. That's all the logic I need. I guess that's the next best team to root for would be the Ravens. Who the fuck else am I going to root for? The Patriots. Tom.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Would you like to root for the patriots why are you why are you why does it sound like you're you're in my ears now listen i don't like boss i love boss but i don't like it that much yes you do tom some sort of weird hypno uh you know shit that's ASMR nonsense that just ends up being Roof of the Patriots. Don't you want to go to Foxborough? It's a CIA. I am the resident
Starting point is 00:50:53 CIA plant. They have a Costco in Foxborough probably, Tom. You like Costco. They have two five miles apart from each other in South Jersey. Yeah, I went to one of the Costcos in Massachusetts They have two like five miles apart from each other in South Jersey. Yeah. I went to one of the Costcos in Massachusetts where they sold booze.
Starting point is 00:51:10 And I was like, oh, God. What can we have this year in Pennsylvania? Oh, my God. I could buy three gallons of just scotch. It just says scotch on the label. I'm sure it's good because it's Costco. It is good. And for like $40. I'm like,'s good. Cause it's Costco. It is good. And you know,
Starting point is 00:51:25 for like $40, I'm like, Jesus Christ, truly a much more enlightened state. Thank you. I'll, I'll let them know. Oh,
Starting point is 00:51:32 I, I, I'm a fucking simp for new England. I, I'd like, I'd like, I'm also a new England simp. It's a better size.
Starting point is 00:51:38 I like Boston. Um, me too. Uh, yeah. Uh, I will only support the red socks though. That's fine. Yeah. I will only support the Red Sox, though. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:51:47 Yeah. Ooh. Yeah, that was spicy. I'm going to have to cut that one out. Don't cut that. You leave it. It's threatening me. The fight's going to happen over that.
Starting point is 00:52:00 I'm going to have two cuts. Yeah. Two cuts. All right. The union, we should probably wrap this up i gotta eat dinner the union are two oh and one uh all right i will i will i will watch a union game at some point i will have commentary i just don't have that uh oh man uh so we do have a lot of mailbag items today and i we have a john from pittsburgh as as uh you know you you all demand more john we have we also have two dms and then we have a real big
Starting point is 00:52:37 dm but i'm gonna hold off that so sam i'm sorry right uh you're just gonna have to wait till next week because you wrote me a fucking essay oh boy and uh there's good stuff in there there's stuff to talk about but it's just it's really fucking long and it gets you as you pay a dollar i feel obligated to answer it at some point sure all right so let's see and i had i'm going into this john from pittsburgh cold so let's see what our favorite Ianzer has to say. Hey, yins, yous, and y'all. This is John from Pittsburgh.
Starting point is 00:53:14 Just doing a quick call in real quick. Great last episode. Wanted to have a good question for you if you had a second, if we eliminate sports betting as a sponsorship from teams and then do what is necessary and have all cities who actually do rightfully own the teams acquire them, what sponsorships would we accept for our teams. My pick is going back to the 2000s UFC days and having Condom Depot sponsor every sports team in the NFL. I think we solved a lot of problems there. Love the
Starting point is 00:53:54 Hager's Take. Hail to Pitt and fuck Penn State. Let's go Temple. Have a good one. I love that he always drops the H2P in there. Yeah. Is it just me or did he start out slow and then it was like he got kicked in the nuts? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:12 John, if you got kicked in the nuts, let me know, man. I'm sorry if you got kicked in the balls. But no, I like this question. Condoms would be good for the Phillies because they, you know, they fuck me in the ass every year trait joke but I don't know what do you think what would be a good local
Starting point is 00:54:31 sponsorship for one of our Philly sports teams I want to see the Sixers in uniforms with the tasty cake script okay i think that would be very funny i'd like that i like that that would be that would be good if it can't like can you just picture corinne
Starting point is 00:54:58 this just says sixers but a tasty cake Yeah but it's tasty cakes Yeah I would You know and they just they drop They airdrop crimpets in Yeah like it's Bastille Day Have you done the Bastille Day At uh Eastern State Penitentiary where they throw the crimpets
Starting point is 00:55:21 I will do that So they throw crimpets off the top of Eastern State Um After Marie Antoinette says let there be cake and you know she never actually said that yeah i should never actually said that but like yeah it's a bad rap yeah uh yeah probably didn't deserve a red chopped off but um the oh this what is this fucking monarchist apology on my podcast no actually no uh marie antoinette didn't deserve it but you know who did was anastasia oh yeah yeah yeah she had a comic yeah yeah yeah uh don't watch that movie is it is monarchist propaganda it is monarchist propaganda but i regret to inform you it's also one of crin's favorite movies i know of course it's okay all
Starting point is 00:56:11 right it's all right half of animation is monarchist probably i mean i love lord of the rings it's fucking monarchist propaganda too so yeah we all float down here uh so so back to crimpets. So they threw them off. I caught like three of the ones, and they were all like a year out of code. Nice. I was like, oh, this is how they get rid of it. So I was like, I bought a $7 Cronenberg and, you know,
Starting point is 00:56:38 eight, six Twinkies that were a year old. Oh, man. Yeah. Good time. Boy, howdy, old. Good time. Good time. Howdy, bud. Good time. I do miss living in Brewery Town, though, because that was one of the things we would go there and do every year is watch that.
Starting point is 00:56:53 Yeah, good neighborhood. Shouts out to Brewery Town. 28th and Poplar Street. You rock. Anyway, so I'm trying to think what else. I mean, I think the obvious thing is Wawa. Hey, why don't we have a Pep Boys? Fuck you, bud.
Starting point is 00:57:12 A Wawa, like an old school. You know what? Another Sixers one would be cool. Like the old Wawa Sunset logo. Oh, that would be cool. And have the Sixers have that. That would be fucking sick. Like what other Philadelphia companies?
Starting point is 00:57:24 It would be like all like biotech and insurance bullshit yeah the the merc you know glaxo smith klein or whoever uh independence blue cross um yeah i i guess if we got down to local businesses, you know, like that aren't corporations, you know, I'd go to like a Zahav. Yeah. Themed Jersey with the lamb on it. One sec. Yeah, that's such a good restaurant. You know, it's fucking Chicky Pete's.
Starting point is 00:57:59 Chicky Pete's would be funny. Yeah. Yeah. There's a reason why they won't let them build one uh within uh you know a uh eighth of a mile of a school though and i'll be all that's that is a deep cut for philly old heads who know about one of the two guys who's whose name is in the name of the restaurant and that's all i'm gonna say oh no because i don't want to get sued Is it the first one or the second one? I'm not saying,
Starting point is 00:58:27 but there's a reason. All right. Text me which one it is. Oh yeah. I'll let you know. I will commit slander via text. Thank you. Well, it's not slander if it's true.
Starting point is 00:58:36 I just can't afford the lawyer. Yeah. My dad's retired. Yeah. Uh, so, uh, we got two voicemails, two uh excuse me two messages today
Starting point is 00:58:48 uh if you're getting hungry lame you could just eat like you did on the latest uh no dinner's dinner's not ready i know i'm getting hungry too so all right so we had a got a dm from blair who said i'm one of the german listeners and then like the cute thing emoticon with the with the letter three i'm not in the military just a regular bean keep up with the good work guys listening to you is real fun thank you i can really hear the passion you have for sports and it's a pleasure to hear again thank you thank you the passion and hatred that we have for that yeah in equal measure and it and it got me interested in learning about football and baseball what would you guys say is the easiest way to learn
Starting point is 00:59:30 and understand them oh fuck yeah so i will i'll start off i did i uh blair i sent you a great question i sent you a video on baseball which is um – I can put it in the notes if anyone's interested in watching it. That kind of just goes over a quick bit of the baseball and the history. And baseball is harder, I'd say, because there's so much intricacy to it that you pick up like as a fan growing up compared to american football i've heard american football's rules are obscure i don't think they're it's like the i think the premise is not that hard and once you get the concept of downs and yards it's pretty self explanatory the best thing to do is probably like watch it by yourself rather than have someone try to explain the rules to you in real time.
Starting point is 01:00:26 Yeah. Yeah. Like find a good game. Like go watch the Eagles beat the Patriots. Uh, and you can watch Superbowl 52 online. Yeah. You can watch my shame.
Starting point is 01:00:38 Yeah. Go watch it. That's a really fun football. It was a genuinely good game. Yeah. Yeah. It was fun. So yeah, genuinely good game. Yeah. I mean, it came to me. Yeah. It was fun. So yeah,
Starting point is 01:00:47 go watch that. And like, if you're doing it on your own, you can stop and look up the rules. Exactly. That's why I said that. And, and one of the things too,
Starting point is 01:00:56 is when you, I was scouring for football stuff, dude, it's all. Oh, get your girlfriend. And she's like, like,
Starting point is 01:01:04 she's the girls, the girls the rules it's like oh shut up with that nonsense like i hate that patronizing like bullshit yeah yeah no it's sports had have no gender in terms of viewership like you can any gender can watch the goddamn sport so you know whatever identity you have i hate that shit so um you know they're because i was looking at recommendations like well oh well you know this one channel has a as a girl's feed that explains it it's like that just fuck off fuck off with that exactly like no that's why watch the sport because it's how do people get into it they they grow up watching it and you know ask questions uh look them up on google um because if you watch it with somebody who's in the room who knows about it
Starting point is 01:01:52 we might just go way too in deep could you imagine your first baseball game being next to me oh god i i feel bad for my wife uh she met we managed to still have a relationship after that um yeah because it's like how do i explain the infield fly rules oh yeah yeah no i'm not gonna try because it's so specific so but yeah watch that baseball video and then i would say for baseball again kind of kind of look up some classic games. Go look up what the 2004 ALCS. Hell yeah. Yeah, go look up that. That's some fun baseball.
Starting point is 01:02:35 You got prime Yankees versus prime – like really good Yankees team against a really good Red Sox team. And you've got – what you'll get there too is one of the appeals of baseball is like the historical aspect. Right. And that was a very historical game. So and it's a series that made me a baseball fan for life because the Phillies weren't doing that much shit. Yep.
Starting point is 01:02:58 Nope. No, we have to wait four years for that. And as much as I love the Phillies 2008 run, the World Series is kind of weird. Who did you guys play at the fucking – Rays. Yep. We beat the Rays at Game 5, and the Game 5 was postponed because of rain. So it was really weird.
Starting point is 01:03:16 And the Dodgers NLCS Series was much more enjoyable than the World Series. All right. Well, thanks, Blair. And we have All right. Well, thanks Blair. And, uh, we have from, from Nero Valentine, not that Twitter Nero who's banned.
Starting point is 01:03:30 Uh, yeah. So someone called Nero Valentine evening fellows. I call him like normal, but Liam experience, like Liam experienced recently. I feel as though I have deep throat of the cactus and have no desire to speak unless I need to.
Starting point is 01:03:44 Okay. And, uh, I can see, I don't know if you remember this first off thanks for the hashtag not legal advice you gave me on the first episode you started reading out messages uh killing someone it was probably about killing somebody yeah yeah you probably shouldn't kill somebody if i guess it's the legal name us as accomplices that was you talking about burying somebody right yeah yeah yeah on a completely unrelated note my garden will turn out fabulously this year so if you're interested homies also let me know
Starting point is 01:04:13 we'll send you a jar I guess send that to the WTYP yeah go for it yeah cause I don't have a PO box and Liam was close enough to me that I can receive the salsa. The treasures, yes. Yes.
Starting point is 01:04:30 And, all right, here's the actual question. What is some of the pettiest shit you've heard an athlete pulling, either for attention or just because they were being pissy? Second, was the Super Bowl show just not complete shit? Lastly, feel free to leave this one out. I'm not. If you want, Tom, should i invest in zinc um which one do you want to uh if you mean it's a weird cryptocurrency called zinc uh you know but invest in the metal zinc sure uh pettiest shit i've ever seen an athlete do uh oh jr smith tying vince carter's shoelaces together and when the nba fined him fifty thousand dollars and made him stop
Starting point is 01:05:12 he switched to fucking with his headband yes uh i think i think stevenson blowing in lebron's ear uh would you call that would you call AI stepping over Ty Lue? AI stepping over Ty Lue is probably the king of Petty Hill. Yeah, that's Petty. Yeah. T.O. doing push-ups. Is that Petty or is that just amazing? That's just amazing.
Starting point is 01:05:38 Yeah. The Sharpie, though. The T.O. Sharpie thing that he got in trouble for or whatever, that was pretty good. Because he got in trouble for celebrating before, and then he brought the Sharpie out. Wasn't that the – yeah. That was pretty fucking good. There's some interesting shit in baseball, but that's like – it's like way too much lore but there is a great story about um i i'm not going to do the story justice so you can say this for another time but the time that a baseball
Starting point is 01:06:13 player basically did uh mission impossible through the vents and broke into uh the umpire's room to retrieve a bat that was corked and replace it with a bat that was not corked. That was confiscated in the game. And, uh, I will have to do this story justice. Cause it's a, I think it's a Cardinal story.
Starting point is 01:06:34 Um, I have to look at the players involved, but it is a really, really fucking funny story. There's, there's lots of good baseball ones, fights over dumb shit. Uh,
Starting point is 01:06:42 there, there was actually a college baseball player who got so mad at the umpire he pulled the trash can out of the dugout and said go to your home and go to your home he says where you belong that that is all that's always a good one um yeah so so i think i think that's a good one and uh was the super bowl show just not complete shit it it was not complete shit. It was fine. I liked it. It was hello millennial. Uh,
Starting point is 01:07:08 it was too short. I, I wanted, and I wanted to fuck the police to come. The, if that had happened, if they had came out with fuck the police and you just had like a reunion of, of NWA,
