Ten Thousand Losses - Slash Fiction

Episode Date: July 29, 2022

Tom says the word you can't say in CBSD schools anymore and rants about anti-LGBTQ assholes. Then the boys talk about the Nick Castellanos / Jim Salisbury drama (who was the asshole - you be the judge!), a segue into football turns into a WTYP fan fiction search, and then we answer DMs/VMs before letting Liam go get a haircut.   Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tenklossespod   Leave us a voicemail: 267-371-7218 Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/tenthousandlosses 

He is actually going to eject a fan. Because bad things happen in Philadelphia, bad things. The fan jumped into the penalty box area. The joy it is to come to Philadelphia and stand here and dodge ice balls. We, the Dallas Cowboys, head of sales, Nick John Cooney. I'm going to say a word that you can't say in Central Bucks School District. Tell me what the word is. It's gay.

Oh, yeah. No, it obviously, if you have books about gay kids or gay families, the high school juniors will just start having gay orgies like a Stephen King novel, obviously. Yes. We've done. No, we've done, no, it's funny because, uh, not to get all, all,

all, you know, panicky, but, uh, yeah, no, when you ban access to information,

you're pretty much never the good guy. Yeah. What is it? Did you ever play Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri? Yeah. Uh, the, the,

it was like, uh, uh, beware he who seeks to control your access information for in his heart he sees himself as your master yeah that was like one of the quotes like the tech that game was so good they need to like it's so good dude do a re uh like a just to make it work on modern pcs uh because that game is so good but um yeah so central buck school 6-3 in favor of the book ban. And they're calling it the book ban. But it's basically this anything that has sexual content they don't like, they can they can effectively ban from the libraries.

And originally they wanted that every book had to be approved by the school board. Yeah. Like. Which is absolutely fuck nuts crazy i didn't know that own owning a car dealership or um a shitty family style italian restaurant qualified you on uh the merits of english literature no it does actually it's good to

ban uh information to uh because obviously uh when you learn uh you uh become a worse person yeah not better uh god i see this this picture and i just want to i just want to punch all three of them yeah i just i fucking hate bucks county man no no offense to you obviously i know uh you're not its biggest fan either but just like those of you sort of

who are not in philly or around philly bucks county is sort of the region that god forgot for us right uh it's a suburban republican hellscape uh ran by wine moms who think that basically the pedophiles and rapists are going to come out of philadelphia and kidnap little johnny who gives a fuck and sell them into white slavery and frankly bucks to linda asked right and and central bucks is And frankly, Bucks to Linda asked. Right. And Central Bucks is interesting because the predominant thing here is upper middle class. And it is quite liberal up here. Right. In this part of Bucks County. Bucks County overall is very mixed.

In Lower County, you actually have a lot of minorities who are disenfranchised, of course. But so the school board voted six to three. The last school board election like no no one pays attention to this shit so they're fucking psychos yeah they just run through and that's how local politics are decided it's it's shit like this and like people are just like oh i can't believe they're doing it it's like yeah this is their fucking strategy this is their mo this is what they've been doing since the fucking since 2010 at the very least you know obama choked away the the house basically this is this is their whole strategy it's just fucking insane and this this district is already

uh banned pride flags in the classrooms and this is safe space stickers um we had somebody who um was going after after that that, that was passed. There was like a, like a kid went into crisis and try the climb up a scaffold and a, and a staff member followed them and fell and broke bones in their back. Like, um, like,

like that was, that was not very prominent in the news. Um, right. Like it, it's just like, and it's talking about shit that's already fucking illegal you can't have porn in your school you can't have like i don't know no one's got right yeah no one's no one's got um yeah 50 shades of gray no one's got like uh marquita side or

whatever the fuck that like you know his books 120 days of sodom yeah yeah um or the the you know the education of whatever fucking some british woman's name fanny some i don't know i'm mixing all of my lewd books together all the smut yeah there's no and there's no there's no hentai section oh there should be uh there's no hentai section there um you know and and teachers are already very cagey about talking it's not we're not talking about sex they would because the way this works is if you mention your sexuality like you're hey i'm bi i'm straight i'm gay whatever like they they um that to them unless you say you're straight that to them them is... An attack on their poor, sweet,

white Christian suburbs. That's apparently grooming children. Yeah, obviously. Because we live in a fucking crazy town, dude. It's absolutely fucking ridiculous. People, especially children, have the right to access information.

There's expectation that it's contextual. I'm not saying give hentai to 14-year right they're gonna find it just fine they already know they there's no worry they learned the sex noises uh we had an epidemic of kids going like in uh school thanks to tiktok last year yeah which i do think should be banned just because it annoys me i am on tiktok too much uh as yeah no dude it's just it just infuriates me because it's like you know my grandmother was a librarian and we're just reliving all these moral panics you know uh my grandmother was protested at the morristown library by phyllis schlafly uh made she rotten a million pieces well that means you're that means she was a good woman though

yeah exactly that's that's an enemy yeah they they brought my grandmother basically would stock any book that was requested because you know it's a library and information wants to be free and uh you know they they brought brooms with them because they were sleeping they were sweeping out the filth uh phyllis slafly and her army of house moms was yeah i don't i don't fucking, no, I do understand it. It's because information is power and they don't want the kids to have anything. They don't want the kids, they want them to be controlled.

This is everything else. The business owners, whatever they want to have employees that won't be able to read, right? Right. It's not an accident yeah i want to make this clear like like at the top level this shit is run by people who effectively want to privatize

the entire country because there's no more profits to be made you know every time you move your factory that and the area ends up like becoming you know wealthier and so at some point you're like you know what we're just gonna have to rent seek and this is what's happening and so that's that's the shitty like assholes at the top the cynical the cynical evil blood-sucking vampires um that's and they were going to use whatever you know means necessary right so they're you know lgbt stuff anti-union all that kind of stuff they're going to throw that whatever it works but the goal is for their personal profits now at the local level at your school boards those are people who are are you know yeah they're useful idiots they're fanatics right so go run

for your fucking school absolutely right go run for your fucking school board as a loud mouth fucking leftist who said and be fucking disrespectful to them don't their arguments do not deserve any consideration. No. If you could put me on a scoreboard and I would be talking to these people, I would be like, I'm not talking to you until you start saying things that make sense. Where's your degree in education? All right. The common law was a mistake.

There should be some sort of centralized education authority that's run by actual experts in education and they're the ones who determine it and the funding doesn't come from goddamn property taxes no exactly because and then i think that's part of it is that these people feel very entitled whether or not their parents themselves to you know well like you know you know in my america this and that and the third fucking thing and it's like well that's not really you know that's not America, this and that, and the third fucking thing. And it's like, well, that's not really, you know, that's not really here nor there. It's always my thing is it's always just these fucking pizza parlor guys. Right. Small business tyrants.

Small business tyrants that are just like, no, like, you know, back in my day, it's like, dude, nobody gives a fuck. Like where, where is your, get me a cert and then we'll talk. Back in your day, you were getting these in and everything, but phys ed, you know like like that that's like these fails perhaps you should not be running a uh yeah maybe you should actually have to have been a teacher to run for school district i'm not opposed to that yeah like you have to be a lawyer for to be a fucking judge like yeah although there are some pretty stupid

judges i can confirm that yeah well we are waiting your campaign to be on the philadelphia uh parking for oh i want to do i want to be on traffic courts are fucking bad i would be so like shamelessly corrupt dude i absolutely don't give a fuck i would be the most like they'd have to take me out of there like you know when when people like cover their heads in shame when they've been arrested for you know something heinous yeah oh yeah i wouldn't even do that i'd be like smiling waving to the camera as i was let out in handcuffs by like a combination of the fbi dea like whatever fucking three-letter agencies and they'd be like do you have any regrets about the numerous lives you're gonna be like no not

really like this is fun to me anything for the record damony hall did nothing wrong did nothing wrong you should read the machine it's a great book machine made machine made yeah i read a i read a book years ago uh when i was a temple that was uh like a full i like in full honesty it was like a full-throated defense of tamney hall politics it was amazing it was like it was really good for irish immigrants and i'm like yeah i know but it was super corrupt that the author's just like do not the author just straight up it's like yeah like they were probably pretty corrupt but like so was everyone like what's it matter oh it was it was they were they were mad because it was the wrong people were corrupt yeah exactly yeah and the wrong people

Charlie Mayne did fire everybody, really. They did just beat the Braves today. We were swept by the fucking Cubs.

I wrote this. I said, fire George Rorty again. We did take the series against the Barbs. The Barbs. Fuck you, Barbs. I fucking hate the Braves. Almost more, the Barbs. Yeah, fuck you, Barbs. Barbs, Barbs. I fucking hate the Braves. Almost more than the Mets. Yeah, I don't like the Braves.

I view them as very hostile to the sport of baseball. I view them as hostile to the concept of integration in baseball. Oh, yeah. You must hate the Red Sox, then. New England teams drafting white guys. It's like all the Hispanic guys or Latino players. Ask for them to integrate, baby.

Dude, how do you have all these... When they go down to the Dominican Republic or whatever, do they're like, alright, we want the guys whose families clearly were the plantation owners. Yes. Uh, go socks like Christian Vasquez.

And, there's another guy, he's like a redhead ginger. Yeah. It looks like he's out of Ireland. His dad wasn't right. His dad was an Argentine under some pretty suspicious circumstances. Right.

Uh, which is fine. Yeah. Well, the sins of the father or whatever, but, uh, yeah,

sure. Uh, I guess, uh, all right. So, uh, there's some drama or there was some drama yeah tell us about the drama all right so you know dick nick castellanos are one of our big juicy boys yes yeah um pretty fire bricks yeah uh pretty fiery guy he's always been prickly with the press he's not a big fan of the media. We should sort of emphasize that. He wants to hit dongs and go

home. He's very, and I feel like he's always been very like, my job is to hit dongs and go home. Fuck off. And that's his right. I mean, I guess they contractually have to have so many whatever minutes. Yeah, they do. But he has the right to be like, I don they contractually have to have so many whatever, you know, right. And it's yeah, they do.

But he has the right to be like, I don't like that question, you know. And so he doesn't do. I want to say in Cascado's defense, I don't think he he often goes. It's not from a place of disrespect. It's just a place of this doesn't feel like it should be my fucking job. He understands that he has to do it, but it doesn't mean he's happy about it right and he by all accounts like he's a hard-working guy he he puts in a lot of hours he does hustle um but you know he feels his job is to play baseball which is what he's getting paid to do i mean that is his job um not everyone who plays baseball is going to be

good at talking to the press i mean mean, that's just, you know. So I'm going to play the the original audio. So Jamie Apote, who's a ABC, six ABC local affiliate, posted a video of of longtime Phillies beat writer Jim Salisbury asking him a question about striking out and basically the end of the game. Then the Cubs swept them. So this is the audio that... A situation in which I would not exactly want to answer the fucking question. No. And he looks

sweaty. He looks tired. So this is the audio that Jamie Pote put up on Twitter. Did you hear the blues there when he struck out and then played in the game there? No, man, I lost my hearing. A little sarcasm. Come on, man, that's a stupid question.

Why is that a stupid question? Can anybody else answer that for him? Anybody? Yeah, man, that's a stupid question. It's not a stupid question. If it's a stupid question, you should be equipped to answer it. All right, all right.

I did answer it. The answer should be the answer. We got the answers. That doesn't mean that I can't say that. It's a stupid question, you should be equipped to answer it. All right. I did answer it. All right. The answer should be able to handle a stupid question. We got the answers. That doesn't mean that I can't say that it's a stupid question. It wasn't a stupid question. It's a legit question. If I heard the booze, is it a total question? Of course it's a stupid question.

Did you hear the booze? That's a stupid question. We got the answer. We're good. Thanks, guys. We're close. Then you should be able to handle a stupid question. I did.

All right. All right. You want to go ahead? go you go first all right i listen if you ask me after i've just so i'm going to talk about my personal life for a second sure when i fucked up i know i fucked up you don't need to remind me that I fucked up. And it's actually the quickest way to sort of spur by anger is to be like, Hey, you really messed that up. And it's like,

yes, I, I'm completely aware of that. Right. So I empathize with that a lot because as somebody who gets salt, like, I'll be honest, it gets mad,

gets salty. When, you know, if you say to me like, Hey, you really blew that. Unless it's, you know, not unless to me like hey you really blew that unless it's you know not unless like every time i'm gonna get defensive i'm not gonna offer a real full-throated defense

myself here but i am gonna offer one of cascadas which is like if you come up to me and say did you hear the the boons that is a stupid question that is a genuinely dumb ass question why are you asking that because it feels like you're picking a fight. Yes. It feels like it's not. And it's not, you know. Yeah, I heard the fucking booze. What do you want me to say to that?

Yeah, it sucks, dude. I'm super happy. I blew it for my team getting paid millions and millions of dollars. That feels great. Like what the you know. What the fuck is that? You know what I mean? Right. Yeah, it's it's and it's right at the moment and it's like i'm super condescending and like we're both adults dude

like why are you talking to me like i'm a child yeah um oh excuse me oh oh number two nice sorry that was spicy oh that felt meaty um yeah so so yeah like i've i've i've had been in situations where i fucked something up and you know whatever it is and it's like all right i don't want to talk about this right now no i don't want to talk about this in in in two hours but not right now and i think as like i think cascados i don't think he like i'm i'm not normally sort of like this like i understand the relationship with you know between teams communicate you know through the media to fans basically right and i understand you know if you're a media guy you're like well i can't do my fucking job if you're not gonna answer the question right but at the same time it's like what did you a what did you expect and be like i don't really have a ton of sympathy

for this guy because it's like yeah dude like much like bryce harper that's a clown question bro like right it's it's it's a poor question to leave the interview. I see what he's doing. He's trying to set it up. Right. And then with a question, it'd be like, well, then how did you feel this was justified? That's probably what he was doing. That's how you heard similar questions in the past.

You could have just said that at the beginning. Right. And I think he probably could have said something like, you know, Nick, like, you know, you struggled today. Like, you know, you know, I know you never want to hear those boos like blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You know, what do you you know, what do you do? You have something to tell the fans like I remember basically there and there are certain players that can sort of get away with that maybe more than others right um i'm sort of thinking about do you remember a couple years ago maybe like five years ago now where aaron rogers was struggling like week one and week two maybe 2017 and they were like what do you have to tell the fans he was like relax because you're aaron fucking rogers like you're one of the greatest

quarterbacks ever do it like you can you can get away with saying that i don't know that casquianas maybe it's quite at that level but it's like no dude it's like what do you want me to say like i can only say yeah it sucks and i'm doing shitty so many times and maybe that should have been the response but i feel like that would have gotten an equally kind of snide response and i thought what's this guy's name the reporter jim salisbury jim salisbury i'm like yeah dude you being the beat reporter is it's cool and great but like these guys don't owe you shit at the same time right it's it's i i think you know hey you gotta actually you know give a good question yeah i don't think shitty questions necessarily are meritorious for like not all

questions are equal right um so so out of this drama which a lot of people were saying this makes castellanos look like a dick plenty of people were saying it makes jim look like a dick too and um so i'm a lot more sympathetic to castellanos. A lot, a lot more. Oh, I mean, I, you know, we're, we're pro worker to begin with. And I've had,

you know, I, I've had shit like come from parents, you know, or it, you know, people like asking, you know,

questions about something going on in the classroom. It's like, dude, were you there? Like, yeah. You don't know what you're fucking talking about. Fucking don't,

don't, don't pull this, this, this, this, uh, phone concern. Bullshit. Yeah. This chicken shit nonsense on me. You know, You don't know what you're fucking talking about. Fucking don't pull this... Phone concern bullshit. Yeah, this chicken shit nonsense on me.

You know, I'll tell you what happened. You know, whatever. I'm not getting into that. Anyway, so Gelb, he posted a tweet that same night saying, you know, hey, here's a recap that swept the Cubs, whatever. Someone responds to him saying, hey, is that full Cassiano's interview available anywhere? And he says it is. The Gelb replies it is, but it's not my footage, so I can't share it. Jamie Apodi is a disgrace.

Which is like, OK, hold on. Are you guys like colleagues? Are you both beat writers or beat like? I just saw he's a disgrace. I was like, OK okay that's pretty harsh matt gilb doyle's town central bucks's own matt gilb um and it was interesting seeing people like respond to this so uh what ends up happening is on a podi's thread someone quote tweets gilb's response and says your buddy matt gilb and then like the quote tweet and then gelb

actually replies first saying like i'm excited for her to come to the ballpark whenever that is because she you know apparently she doesn't come it'd be the first time in months and then then a podi and gelb get into like this dumb slap fight which was amazing this is yeah philly is great yeah uh only us dude like us and maybe like, Boston pull this shit. Yes. But you realize I don't choose to go to the ballpark, right? It's not me to be there every day. I go when the station wants me. It's my job to anchor to sports, do features, sick stories.

And when our cameras capture something interesting, it's my job to put it out there. But Gale goes, you have zero standing there. Congrats on all the retweets. Come talk to me here at the ballpark. Which some people were taken as a threat. I didn't think that was a threat. That's not a threat. It's just a, like, you're full of shit right i am and

you're not you know he's there every game you know he travels with the team you know and then she goes what's what on earth is your problem matt what did i ever do to you i'm not sure i've ever spoken to you all right then this gets to that thing which i think gelb should have led with this because this is just dumb and stupid why did you post a heavily edited video that misrepresented the exchange removed all context from a conversation you weren't even at this isn't taking size asking for fairness people deserve to see the whole thing not some manipulated video for clicks like dude lead with that right like don't be a don't call somebody a disgrace i mean like i kind of i kind of i sort of not get it but like i feel like it goes that sort of sports writer weird thing they have

where there's this sort of obsession with being sort of inside the game right getting the scoops right where you where you know you're you're you gotta whatever cover the story but like you also want to be sort of in the club right i'm in the clubhouse i'm here and you're not you're not and you're not and that's really important and i think there's probably a bit of uh sexism there too if i'm gonna be honest with you probably probably i mean i i like i i go from like my where my like professionalism comes in is like if someone tells me that the math lessons suck like i'm not gonna be like oh yeah math teacher yeah well she's math teacher she sucks like i would never do that like uh but that's i guess it's different um so jamie says we posted every single part that was relevant to the question in the aftermath everything edited out

wasn't pertinent to the initial question about the booing when you write an article do you include the entire interviewer or just select quotes there was no misrepresentation Gelb says I'm sorry but that's wildly inaccurate and you know it and then she says wildly inaccurate here's the entire exchange as I said I edited

out things that were not pertinent to the original question and after I edited out about hearing booze, my original tweet was completely accurate. Alright. I'm going to play the audio. It's not too long. It's only two minutes. And then I'll let you, the listener, be the judge. Did you, uh,

hear the booze there when you struck out and played the game there? The beginning's the same. I'm hearing. So you didn't hear him. Come on, man, that's a stupid question. Why is that a stupid question? Can anybody else answer that for him?

Anybody? So you heard them? Of course. What does that feel like? What does the booze feel like? It is what it is, man. You think they have a right to do that or you think you've delivered enough? I don't need to give an opinion on that. Nobody else?

Where do you go from here then? In a situation like that when obviously you're hearing things like that, where do you go from here then? In a situation like that, when obviously you're hearing things like that, where do you personally go? How do you internalize it and then try to make yourself better? I'm sure you've been through this before, right? Sure. I've hit lows in my career. I think I go home, and then I get ready to play baseball tomorrow. Is there a lot of pressure to play here?

Are you finding? I mean, it's just different. It's very similar to my first year in Cincinnati. You know, new organization, new faces, new philosophies, new city, new energy, new fan base. It's nothing that I can't adapt to. Do you think coming out of three holes would help a little bit and it takes the pressure off? That's a question for Tom, for Rob.

I'll hit wherever. I like hitting three. Not somebody that thinks where I hit in the lineup has anything to do with how I perform. Did they cut the mics here, or the camera? Yeah, man, that's a stupid question. If it's a stupid question, you should be equipped to answer it.

I did answer it. And then that's the stupid question. It's not a stupid question. If it's a stupid question, you should be equipped to answer it. I did answer it. And then that's the same at the end. Right. So, what do you think? I mean, that's, yeah, that is a crazy difference. Yeah. Completely reasonable. Yeah, dude, totally.

Like, he's like, he's not being rude. He's clearly upset, but he's not taking it out on them he's being perfectly professional he's like yeah it fucking sucks like and I'm gonna wash it off and play baseball tomorrow and like you know how do you personally deal with that that's a good question for an athlete like hey man like you've you know

he's not yeah he's like I've had ups and downs in my career and like contextualizing that I think really within the city of Philadelphia, like where we're all fucking weirdos, like is actually really help. It's clearly, he's not an idiot.

He actually articulates himself pretty well. Um, and the other reporter, I don't know who that was, was asking, asked a very reasonable followup question, um, that he was more than happy to answer.

And then as soon as the camera turns off, you see that on the video, you see the camera light turn off. Then he tells Jim, like, that was a dumb question. And that exchange happens. And he was waiting to tell him, like, dude, I don't, I didn't like that question. And he's allowed to say that. And like, coming from like, hey, we're pro worker.

Like, you can't edit that, all the context out, and then just say, oh, look at this guy. He's an asshole. And then drum up all the Philly dipshits on sports radio. Because you know that's what it is. It is exactly that. It's the city's dumbass sports media cycle. And I'm glad that they actually put it out to show that, like, no, he was being reasonable. He was answering questions.

Right. Which is his job. And that's what is expected of him and he did that yeah and I think he honestly has he has the right to say that's a stupid question yeah and could he say it nicer sure but he's Nick Castellanos he's been like this his entire career

he's prickly you knew that going in and you know Jim Salisbury he's a no quantity dude yeah Jim Salisbury is basically like the the the nbc sports phillies like guy i don't know like he's got like uh he's has a good reputation i guess he comes off as a little dim to me but whatever um just like i don't know if he's just being an ass on purpose trying to provoke him or what I don't know I just the way he his follow-ups

to sound stupid like yeah they he's basically he wants to ask his questions and he doesn't really care what the responses are right feels very sort of like punch carding yeah so yeah once I saw that I was like oh shit nah Cassianus was in the right and

being a dickhead and I'll never be a beat writer for the Inquirer, so I don't give a shit. It doesn't bother us. But something interesting about Cassianos' performance, because he has been shitting it up. He has been. I saw he got hit

on the arm or something. Right, so yeah, Jack Fritz from WIP posted that Cassianiano splits before and after he was hit in the wrist by a pitch on the 5th of May. So before, his.307 batting average,.374 on base, and then his OPS, which is on base plus slugging,.851. That's very good.

Very good. And then afterwards,.226 batting average,.262 on base, and.580 slugging percentage. And that's 580 OPFs. So that is bad. Right. So something probably happened to him, I would imagine. You know?

Right. And either he's lying about it or... He was just trying to play through it. Trying to play through it. Because he's Nick Castellanos, and that's... It's between him and the team. I'm sure he doesn't want to have through it trying to play through it and that's it's between him and the team i'm sure he doesn't want to have to sit after harper and sagura are hurt yeah it may be that he he knows he's hurt but the way he says it is basically well if it's me and

bryce sitting like that's that's sort of it yeah like which i i think is actually probably true. It sounds like it. I mean, like, I'm getting through injury when I was, you know, and obviously I'm not playing professional baseball, but you do it. It's a thing you do. When you hurt yourself, you have to like, like do, do things differently. And I'm just saying this for the sake of it. Like people I've seen making takes on, on Twitter or on Reddit, like, you know,

that will like a bruise on your wrist will affect something like that. Like I, I, um, I'm going back to my weightlifting and stuff like that. And I had to basically reteach myself how to squat because my knee has advanced and it's dumb bullshit. Sure. As I've gotten older,

you know, you hit th hit 30s everything just goes downhill things fall apart center cannot hold sure yeah and i had to like read and it took me two weeks to kind of figure out how the fuck did but you have muscle memory and it's hard not to so you like compensate and you're trying to compensate while you're facing major league pitching yeah i wouldn't want to do that i'll tell you that that's why when they have guys rehab they have them really rehabbing the minors yeah so i i was reading something really funny which is like can you imagine rehabbing though against like chris sale or like to grom or someone just like how bad

that was like you've worked your whole life to be here you know you have dreams of the majors and fucking chris sale is throwing at you at like 105 mile an hour heater like that sucks so much that would very much i wouldn't feel good oh speaking of chris sale because you know you post that video of him like tearing shit up in that room dude's a lunatic yeah he hurt himself again yeah i know fucking dumbass i'm glad i'm revealing i'm gonna reveal some of my background watching my dad punch holes into the fucking drywall and hit the stud one very funny to uh show don't do don't do dumb shit like that especially when your sport involves your fucking hands yeah no exactly like i'm i'm

basically fine if if pitchers want to self-destruct just because... The goalies... Pitchers are weird. Pitchers are psychopaths. All psychos. Every single last one of them. Total fucking nutcase. They're all weirdos. Too much sun. I don't know. Things get weird out in the bullpen.

You're just doing stuff. You're sitting with some other dudes for a long time and things just sort of happen. We're all guys sheltered in the dark is what I'm saying. You start comparing thighs and then it goes from there. Alright. I just want to say before we leave baseball,

I just saw this too that the Temple baseball coach Skip Wilson. Temple used to have a baseball program. He passed away at 92. He had 46 seasons 1034 wins and two college world series appearances get rid of our football team and give temple a baseball team honestly because temple baseball uh would probably do better than fucking temple football ever could yeah and just recruit recruit kids from the fucking city and be like i'm gonna get like give local kids a shot.

Because it's like, there's barely any programs that do that now. Like LaSalle, but I don't know if they got rid of it. That's always been on the... On the docket. Yeah. Topping block. Yeah. It's been 40 minutes of baseball.

So I think we should talk about football. And I'm starting to Jonesones for it because it's starting to feel like august you can tell august is happening once you get the cicadas yeah i if you are a cicada hater please leave don't listen to this podcast i fucking love cicadas i love the noise they make that weird noise oh i actually like the noise too yeah it reminds me it's like the only thing i don't like about it is that it's like a school starting again soon. So fuck that. This is your job.

Yeah. Um, but you know, like some of the trees start turning a little golden. Oh, sure. You know, I'll write some purple prose about a golden sunshine and pink and purple

hues. Your wife, Tom, I'm going to force you to read my nature landscape poetry. You know what? There are probably worse things I've been forced to read. I've read some pretty bad fanfic in my life.

I've read some pretty bad ones too that involve you and Roz. We're all God's children of the dark is what I'm saying. Alright, never mind. There's something that links to that just because i want to annoy him oh i'm gonna have to i already scrubbed my history you really want me to find that yeah it's super unethical do it do it all right i'll have to think about it is it on archive or our own fanfic okay It's on that one, yeah.

Is it under WTYP? I'm not sure. What do you mean? Yeah, you're sure. Tell me. No, because I saw it talking about someone I know's genitals and then I closed it. Was I girthy? I didn't. I saw penis.

Alright. Hang on. You know what we're going to do right now? We're going to do a live read? Yeah, let's hang on one second here. Oh boy. Yes. Oh god. Jesus.

Come on Google. I know I'm behind the VPN. Just do it. I'm going to duck duck go. They don't care that I'm behind the VPN. Oh yes they do. Oh god. a vpn just do it no i'm going to duck duck go they don't care that i'm behind the vpn oh yes oh god all right fire up the other web browser all right i'll be yeah you keep going i'll be with you in a second um i guess i guess is it the equivalent of like you know self master like masturbating to yourself i don't know dude i well so i searched liam anderson i basically found nothing which is not very helpful uh is it uh oh yeah okay uh got it um did you find it well i didn't find the the

Yeah. So that's been up there for a while.

OK. I don't know. Ask the guy in the YouTube comments that talked about it. So football. Let's do that. All right. So Eagles training camp start today. You really you know, I was segwayinging i was doing a bit of like poetry and then talking about how i need football and it reminds me and i

can't wait for the first chill in the air that really tells me that i know football's right around the corner apparently i show up at some sort of dbz fanfic where i'm the heir to the biggest logistics company in rock union i'm the perfect rebound guy i don't think these are these are our fanfics i think people just use liam anderson yeah someone has a a novel be called begin again by val sims and i'm the perfect rebound guy but uh eden m McBride's broken heart. Okay, I'm going to read you this summary, and then we can talk about football.

Okay. Hot rebound is just what any doctor would recommend for Eden McBride's broken heart after a brutal breakup. Not really, but it's what she needs. Liam Anderson is the perfect rebound guy. Dubbed the three-month prince because he's never with the same girl longer than three months. Not true.

Liam's had his share of one night stands. Also not true. And doesn't expect Eden to be anything more than a hookup. When he wakes up and finds her gone along with his favorite denim shirt. I do have a favorite denim shirt. Liam is irritated, but oddly a tree. No woman has ever left his bed willingly or stole from him. Eden has done both.

He needs to find her and make her a count. But in a city with more than five million people Which Philly does not have Finding one person proves impossible Until fate brings them together again two years later Eden is no longer the naive girl she was When she jumped into Liam's bed She now has a secret to protect at all costs Liam is determined to get everything Eden stole from him

And it's not just his denim shirt Okay It's his dick I'm gonna buy this book i'm gonna buy this fucking book and i'm gonna read it out loud oh god oh no oh no hold on um i found one of that's do not eat slash grover house some fuck at the house in the grover house fucking in the grover house yeah i said that to me

all right do not eat fan fiction how much of this i'm gonna have to cut out all you leave that in oh god is this the one i saw it might have been i'll text it to you thank you oh i got it i got it don't worry i found it uh one too late blood angel zero this was created three years ago um

uh um oh oh no oh yeah this is the one i saw. Oh, I'm going to throw up. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. There are some funny metaphors here, though. I don't like this. No, no, no, no, no. I have made it through nine years of friendship with him, almost 10, and I've never seen his penis. Let's switch topics back to sports.

Football. Now, Kyler Murray signed a uh leave that all in every single goddamn second uh yeah sure okay fine i'll leave it in jesus christ sorry rise if you listen to this he doesn't really sorry sometimes he does i'm not sorry i'm gonna were cool guys um i'll tell them to be on our next bonus um all right i really want to post this to twitter but i can't no don't don't get mad at me well you you locked your account so uh i locked my account because i'm job hunting oh and case the review yeah did we say that while we were on the air? It doesn't matter.

No, no, no. And I listen, they fire me over that. That's what they fucking fire me around. Give a shit. So, Kyler Murray sued and then. All right. Yeah. Fuck you.

I will reveal your real name on there if I have to. You do. You do have enough information to dox and shit out of me. Yeah. So Kyler Murray signed a $230.5 million total contract. $160 million guaranteed, $46.1 million average.

What they did, the Arizona Cardinals, the team he signed with, is mandate four hours a week for independent studies. We're talking outside of reviewing film. This apparently is totally unprecedented, at least at this level.

Yeah. But like, I would say that doing that is foundational to being an NFL quarterback. I mean, Brady watches something like six hours a day or some shit

he claims. Yeah, I guess you have to do your film room shit. Wouldn't that be in the contract as part of your duties? You'd think, right? Yeah. Is it three hours a day or three hours a week? Four hours a week. Oh, that's not much.

That's not much at all. You can bang that out in a day. Yeah, exactly. I don't know how that looks, man. Sorry, I was reading the Grover fic. Stop reading it! Are you Tacoma Narrow's Bridge? Ass do not eat a one because you make my pic as hard as diamonds.

Whatever that means. I assume he meant by dick, but I got another... We're running out of time because I'm going to be out of here by 5.5. How much more time you got? 17 minutes, 16 minutes. We're at 50 minutes already.

We'll talk about it. We'll save the shit but yeah if I do want to talk about this just because it's fascinating because apparently this has never been done I remember reading a story I don't know how true it is about do you remember Jamarcus Russell yes yeah about

him that apparently they sent him home with film and were like okay review it and then quizzed him on it but the tapes had been blank so they knew he hadn't been watching film at home I had heard that story that's hilarious dude if you're like if you're obviously we're pro worker on this podcast

get the bag I don't you know I don't if you want to rob the Arizona Cardinals blind be my fucking guest I don't care about that but like why are you the Cardinals and signing this deal? Right. Oh man.

DeMarcus, DeMarcus Russell, dude, that sucks, man. The last thing on his wiki page is that he had, he had coding for making a lean. That's tough.

Oh, come on. That sucks, dude. Oh man. Oh, it was just coding like it's like he didn't like hit anybody i don't think so you know oh but you could break your kid's arm and come back no that's totally fine yeah but you're drinking coding to make purple drank or whatever the fuck it's called like who gives a shit right exactly uh i it's it's fucking crazy uh i've never seen that before

uh it does indicate that like i mean there's been some some doubts around kyler murray um yeah but i think there are doubts i think teams basically leaked that there are doubts around every quarterback just because like they don't want to box themselves in right uh and uh you know i i guess i get it it's just sort of the nature of the beast yeah but i if i'm the cardinals i just find a new quarterback rather than putting 230 million down on a guy i don't trust to watch film yeah oh but that's it get the bag kyler yeah i mean 160 is guaranteed 160 guaranteed enjoy your houses yeah uh generational wealth uh please spend it also send us some yeah why not so you could send me 500 grand you wouldn't even notice and it would

change my life so um send tom 500 grand yeah i could use it. A lot. Pay off loans, house. Alright. We're going to do a bird season preview next week with Violations Greg of Johnville slash Philly Blunt slash Dumbline next week. Follow him if you haven't followed him. Good dude. But he's been kind of

in and around Philly sports his whole life and been doing podcasts for a while. I did see two things with college football. Again, there's a lot we're jamming in that we got derailed with 10 minutes of reading about Harmon Diamond Dicks or whatever.

Leave it in. UCLA and USC joined the Big Ten. They're more than 10. Gotta change the fucking name. Don't worry. None of those numbers are real. uh ucla and usc joined the big 10 joining the big 10 yeah we're in 10 gotta change the fucking name don't worry don't none of those numbers are real i know i know it doesn't matter i just hate i hate i hate it um i i am sort of fascinated by this and like this what i want to say here is that like uh as two people who support the right of players to get paid, this is entirely driven by TV revenue. ESPN forced the expansion of the SEC to include Oklahoma and Texas.

This is Fox forcing the expansion of the Big Ten to include USC and UCLA, which are two national programs. I will nail my dick to the floor before I watch ruckers usc uh it would look like ruckers temple yeah it's bad yeah so they join um and the other thing this is related to the big 10 um is is talking about psu players striking yeah there's a attempt to unionize uh the thing is so northwestern university out um well i can't remember where it is the suburb of chicago no it's northwestern yeah northwestern's in illinois evanston illinois there we go okay uh basically uh they tried this a few years ago and the nlrb rating

was sort of or ruling was sort of throw our hands up in the air and kick it down the road where basically they were like we don't know what would happen here uh so we're not going to allow it uh i don't know if that's i kind of assume that's what's gonna happen to penn state obviously uh this might be a more favorable rule um i guess climate um power to them uh hope you boys get it uh fuck penn state uh yeah i don't know man i i think that like i'm not really you know obviously if you if you listen to the show you know that we both support um paying college players because they are workers uh and uh it's it's this is this is entirely a revenue move on part of the conference of the schools and the networks and they're still gonna try to cry poverty about uh paying these players which is fucking insane um i think i also want to

say as someone who whose favorite sport is college football i think this is terrible for the fucking sport uh i'm sick of it being ruled by money i understand that that's sort of a necessary evil to get these teams to exist or right playing but i'm so fucking sick like why doesn't wvu play pit why doesn't temple play penn state every fucking year we should right we should because once in every 10 years we absolutely fucking demolish them and then we burn penn state to the ground and then what we do is we dig up joe paterno and fucking light him on fire like an effigy of himself and we cut down the statue and we fucking bury it we fucking bury the statue and then we replace penn state's entire field with a big banner that just says joe paul fucking knew because he absolutely did and fucking leave this

in tom he's dead so i'm uh we're gonna cadaver sin adam yeah we're gonna throw we're gonna throw his body where they they found the body of the guy who had the FBI investigator who had all this shit on them. Totally innocuous. Yes. Crazy how that happened. And another fuck you to fucking what's his name? The pedophile he supported or not supported teaching job, you have to have every single school that you ever worked at, ever in your entire career, sign off

and say you didn't diddle anybody. Put that in a repository somewhere. It don't have to be like... If a school doesn't exist anymore, it's like, they're not around anymore. So fuck you... What was his name? The piece of shit. Travis Sandusky? Yeah, Sandusky. shit jerry sandusky yeah sandusky fuck you

sandusky um he's still alive right or did he die uh i believe he's still in prison although he may have died recently jerry sandusky well we can google searches are just going off that we could we could tie him to paterno's corpse and yeah it's fine yeah don't rape kids please thank you yeah don't do that That's how you get beaten to death at the crowbar Yeah, and no one will cry Yeah, you'll deserve it Basketball

To try and rush through this OKC Apparently signed one of the Sixers vice presidents I guess, who cares I don't have much I wouldn't have signed anyone from the sixers for something to intelligence their front office um but i i did do some some uh stuff um i did put some stuff in here looking at some of the partners that are around this new

sixer stadium thing we listen to last week's episode if you haven't already we talk about that where liam sort of takes me down a peg from my super this is super cool, yimby kind of attitude. So one thing was that apparently one of Harris' partners in ownership of the Sixers, Blitzer, I forget what his first name is, I think it's Charles or something like that,

he works for Blackstone. Not good people. Whom the UN has accused of contributing to housing insecurity worldwide. Yeah. Yeah, so they're the people buying all the houses with cash so that you can't because they want to make everything

and rent to your economy. It's going to be sharecropping 3.0. Right. You know, just like, you know, BMW, you got to rent your fucking heated seats now. We love it. We love being here. And then David J. Adleman,

the developer, helped form the University City District and manages investment related to the Navy Yard. He's also a friend of Fanatics owner Ruben, who we mentioned last week, who's actually trying to bounce out of the Sixers. And Fanatics fucking screwed up everything.

He sold it out. He sold his Sherry hat too. He's also worth $8.8 billion. No one involved in the stadium has anyone but their own pockets interest. And please don't get it twisted. Yeah. Any benefit to the city?

I mean, the city can play its hand. delete all our emails i archived ah i have a i have a whole thing with that but that's fine yeah you can go and click archive and search for um uh hockey i just put lol because i don't care so soccer nothing's changed since the last episode. Alright, voicemail. We have one voicemail. It's not long. Hey, 10KWosses, Jay from Portland here. I was just listening

to one of the recent episodes, and a call-in had an uncannily similar baseball experience as a short left-handed batter. Similar to him first time playing in

I guess human pitch baseball with the Spring League where they're like, you know what's a good idea? We're going to put the middle schoolers and the high schoolers together in one league. And similar to them,

a little four-foot-thumb batter, Jay, goes up, lefty, buddy of mine, over 60. I think he's a sophomore. I'm like a sixth grader. He's pitching. Just beams me in the thigh. And like,

I've been hit a lot before cause I was a short lefty, uh, but it was bad enough. I couldn't walk in my friend who was pitching for the other team had to carry me back into the dugout. Uh, did not, did not result in a like entire side of the body bruise, but solidarity with the

other caller. I know what you've been through, and I know how that can shape a life. Love the pod. Fuck Penn State. Have a good one. I'd love to play on a Little League team and just fucking hit home runs. Just absolutely wrecking some nine-year-olds. team and just fucking hit home runs like just
