since five o'clock
we both ate dinner in between
pods yes yeah
be grateful for the fact that we didn't just

think i think follows both of us is a himbo socialism yeah he was talking about i can't
imagine not being a billionaire and not just paying tons
of people's debt and it's like why we'll never be billionaires oh exactly yeah because we have
morals and ethics and and love for humanity i would just give shit away i couldn't wait to just
you know yeah yeah because there's the happiness and joy that people would have in like just like
generational financial security because you gave them five hundred thousand dollars that shit buying people houses i would be unstoppable yeah like i would
buy real estate companies first so they couldn't fucking jack the prices up like i buy zillow
and just turn it into anti-landlord action yeah exactly. How to put your money
into escrow when your landlord won't fix
the fucking hot water heater.
With my dad as legal counsel.

the year of our Lord.
Well,

Wrong Lord.
Whatever it is in the Jewish calendar,
6,500, whatever.
Life itself, right?
Yeah.
You get to have the Masada spirit.
All right.
I will never I will never
not respect the Jewish people for that
thank you we'd rather slit our own throats
baby yeah I say
fuck you to the Romans something
that that
is admirable in
history thank you
pass that on to the ancestors
yeah I am a certified
mensch so so you are yeah so you don't have to like they kind of the ancestors. I am a certified mensch. So you are.
Yeah, so you don't have to...
They kind of know already where I am.
I know my bullshit.
Let's see.
Hey, do you know the name of a sport
that is kind of like baseball but isn't?
Rounders.
Not that one.
Cricket.
It's a cricket? Yeah, it's a cricket. It's not town ball either. It's cricket.
So we have someone who left a voicemail about cricket two weeks ago and we
deferred it to this week. So let's, let's, let's hear what they have to say.
Hello. My name is Dexter.
And I'm calling to talk about the time that Philadelphia defeated Australia at cricket.
Hope that y'all have the opportunity to talk about that and how Philadelphia had the best American bowler and batter of all time.
Love your show. Have a lovely one. Bye.
Thanks, Dexter. That was lovely.
Yeah, that was very nice.
So,
you know, there was nothing in the email about
when this happened.
So this happened in the
end of the...
What's the
French term? It's the end of the century.
Fin de...
Whatever.
I don't speak French.
I don't anymore. Sorry.
Non parlo francese.
Solo polo. Wow.
Great fucking Italian.
I don't speak Italian.
Solo parlo
inglese e
italiano
e molto male
ok
but I do like that Philadelphia had a
cricket team that was very hyper
I love that we were world class about a sport we don't give a shit
but we had like
the Germantown
cricket club, the Belmont
cricket club, the Tioga
and Morristown cricket clubs.
Like, holy shit.
What?
And over its 35
years, the team played an 88
first-class cricket match. I feel like we need to
affect a Mid-Atlantic accent talking about
this, like the Grace Kelly kind
of like, over its 35
years. All right, no, I'm not even going to try.
No, no. Yeah, yeah. You'll just turn off the podcast. Yeah. not even going to try.
You'll just turn off the podcast.
Not you, the listener, Liam.
Apparently,
the gentlemen of Philadelphia played a first-class cricket match
against Australia
and they won
following a day
in which the Irish beat Philadelphia.
I'll take that loss.
I'll take that trade.
I'm really
trying not to do my Irish accent, Liam.
I'm proud of you. Thank you.
It's actually not bad.
All right.
I'm laughing at my own jokes today. It all right uh i'm proud of you you know everything that has to do with cricket it sounds familiar you have like a batter
and a bowler right you have innings the fuck a wicket is i don't know um you know doing my research on this I really
you know like clearly
like this was kind of cool that Philadelphia
actually kicked ass at cricket before
cricket was I didn't know that cricket actually
competed with baseball for a little bit
that doesn't shock me
I mean like if you think about it East Coast
American cities were kind of
affecting this sort of like
British you know coast American cities were kind of kind of were affecting this sort of like British
uh
you know sort of weird
second empire sort of shit yeah
yeah like glomming on
to that you know
I mean
the reason that New Yorkers
and Bostonians drop
like or have the you know they say like
yeah car water you know they they were aping in English accent there.
Yeah.
Cause cause nowhere else in the United States is that, that take hold.
So one of the things though,
that we realized about one of the teams that played was
Bernard James Tindall Bosanquet.
Bosanquet? I don't know how.
But he's known for inventing, ready, Liam?
The Googly!
Whoa!
Oh, it's the Googly, a delivery designed to deceive the batsman.
And what does the googly a delivery designed to deceive the batsman and what does the googly do
well yeah clearly
what a plebeian you are
when bowled it appears to be a leg break but after
pitching the ball turns the opposite direction
that's a curveball
yeah candy cummings invented that
that's a curveball motherfucker
candy cummings invented that which
which is a better name than Bernard Bosonquet,
Quet, whatever.
And yeah, he invented the curveball
because you throw the ball like you're turning the handle of a door.
And he also played for Eaton,
which if you don't know anything about British public schools,
they're not actually public schools, they're private schools.
And you are, if you're not a pedophile
when you go there, you will be when you leave.
Might have to cut that out.
You're not wrong. Damn, dude.
I used to be really into
shaving with a safety
razor.
One of the
shaving creams I used to use where you would
froth it up was
Eaton College scent.
And yeah,
these days, I would not
purchase that because I know what would have gone into that
scent.
Yeah, if you don't know what a
soggy biscuit is, go ahead and
Google that on your work computer. Yeah, do it on your work computer. And let us know what a soggy biscuit is go ahead and google that at on your work computer
yeah yeah do it on your work computer and let us know what happens to you
yeah take a loss it's not responsible for you getting fired for your job
uh christ i'm punchy today guys uh i was up at 1 a.m. lecturing people on the pronunciation of European on Reddit.
So, yeah.
Don't let Leland get you down.
Was this another voicemail?
So this was a message I got on Twitter.
It was a critical support for me.
Very good.
For my edits that Liam doesn't know about.
The Soviet anthem.
Yeah, you know.
Yeah. So don't let. Yeah, you know. Yeah.
So don't let Leland get you down.
I burst out laughing during your
initial reading series with the
anthem and the cut.
Beautifully done.
Love the pod, even though my only
relationship with Philly sports
is MFs.
It means motherfuckers
trying to trade Dame for Simmons,
which isn't going to happen, which
isn't going to happen.
It's not going to happen.
Sorry.
But we appreciate the critical support.
We're going to have to talk about that, too.
Yeah.
Every day, I think less and less that the trade's going to happen.
Yeah, I mean, we'll get into it.
But let's talk about football real quick.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, so NFL playoff update, of which the Eagles are not participating.
We can still laugh at the Packers and the Bucs.
Holy shit, the Packers.
Do you see what Aaron Rodgers said that people were rooting against me?
I could feel the negative energy just because i you know i'm for
vaccine choice and it was like no you just fucked up yeah you fucked up dude that's that's that's
like all self-perception like you're feeling guilt about something dude yeah exactly no you're
absolutely right like like i i did not have have anything actually i kind of liked aaron rogers
until the same same, same, same.
Corinne and I were talking about that.
It's just like, yeah, he was kind of not your primary choice.
Like, yeah, you'd root for him.
Yeah.
He seems like a nice enough guy, and then he came out with all this shit,
and it's like, I don't fucking care what happens to him.
And a rare, like, not religious, which, you know, I mean,
the atheism thing's thrown out.
But, like, you know, he's like a not religious guy.
He doesn't talk to his family because he decided not to be religious and that kind of
stuff you're like okay maybe he's got his head screwed on right no no he does not no he's not
he's an idiot uh i mean we're all idiots too but um he's an idiot we're not playing we don't have
the microphone for a professional football player yeah and uh i just love the the final field goal there and they only had 10 guys the
packers only had 10 yes and robbie gould used to play for the bears too so getting able to
being able to send the the packers home when you used to play for the bears
probably feels pretty fucking oh yeah that's that's just a chef's kiss right there uh it's just
it's just like come on man and then
uh the bucks the bucks
uh got set yeah uh
this uh
there are rumors that this is genuinely
the end of the line for brady but
i wouldn't buy that who knows
i kind of at this point
i want to see just how long he goes.
Yeah, I think he's probably
going to be back for one more
season. Genuinely.
Yeah, I think
he wants to crack because like I think he probably
wants to crack at number eight.
I mean, play there 50
dude. Let's see if you can.
I kind of want to see what his decline will be
because he produced
he's still like set personal records all over the place yeah you know i mean i feel a little
saying that as a as a native philadelphia but i mean you can't not you're watching the career
of the greatest yeah to ever do it like it's like you know i i hate the Lakers, but getting to watch LeBron is still special.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, if you took Tom Brady and put him in the NFL 50 years ago, his records would be unassailable.
Right.
He'd be playing until he's 55.
Right. And, you know, with 6,000-yard passing seasons and shit like that,
he truly is just an incredibly gifted player.
Yeah.
So that leaves the NFC.
We have the 49ers and the Rams this weekend.
I don't give a shit who wins this game.
Yeah.
I'm actually more interested in the AFC matchup, which is Bengals versus
Chiefs.
We watched
the divisional round between
the Bills and the Chiefs. It was one of the greatest football games
I've ever seen.
Change the fucking overtime rules.
It shouldn't be decided on a coin flip.
There was a very contrarian, like, no,
the rules are fine as they are. No, they aren't. They suck. No, you shouldn't have sudden death overtime when there on a coin flip. There was a very contrarian, like, no, the rules are fine as they are. No, they aren't. They suck.
No, you shouldn't have sudden death over time when there's a coin flip.
Like, you should be able to answer that touchdown.
That's exactly right.
Yeah.
That's exactly right.
Yeah.
It really does kind of leave it up to the ref because the ref can flip it.
You know, you can fuck with a flip.
I mean, I used to do that shit the ref can flip it you know you can fuck with a flip i mean i used
to do that shit you know it just sucks that all that was for for bullshit basically uh i do want
to talk about that game a little bit because yeah my prediction for the chiefs bangles is that the
chiefs are just going to run away with it yeah The Titans sacked Joe Burrow nine times and couldn't
win.
The Bengals don't have an
O-line. So I'm expecting
fully like a
massacre.
Regardless of what the
Chiefs defense
has much improved from a couple years ago.
I'm really expecting a massacre.
I mean, look, we've kind of like positioned ourselves this year as as kind of supporting a rust belt kind of oh no i
want the bangles to win because i love joe burrow man i love that he and like there was a tiktok
going around where he invited like six basically identical blonde girls to come watch him play
like jesus christ yeah come on man that's fucking that's way better than like trevor
lawrence getting married at 20 well i mean nothing against trevor lawrence but like i mean i mean
brunettes are nicer but uh jesus christ i'm married to brunette i i i concur the brunettes
are nicer eyes on the ball, Tom.
All right.
All right.
Sorry.
Sorry.
You said you said a hair color and I got distracted.
Yeah, I just I do want the Bengals to win.
I'm putting all my chips in on Joe Burrow and his just.
Like, I want him to just like go to the Super Bowl and like win the Super Bowl and just not even be on this earth. It'll be like when the Caps won the Cup a couple years
ago and Ovechkin was just no longer
of this world. They'll do like
the painting of Washington they have
in the Capitol building of him ascending to heaven
with like the Roman gods, but they'll do
with Gerber in Cincinnati.
And he will deserve that.
We have to talk about
at some point, not today but like how paul brown
left the browns it was like fuck you guys i'm starting another team in ohio with the same
colors yeah exactly but you guys are gonna keep that name right yeah yeah um you know there is a
part of me though i can't not kind of like want andy reed to get another ring he's one of the
greatest coaches yeah but tyree kills a piece of shit and that alone doesn't for me all right
so tyra kells a piece of shit like objectively like i can't stand the guy but there's a lot of
guys on the chiefs are not pieces of shit so i don't know i hard disagree with you uh bangles by 90 uh joe burrow
joe burrow goes home and fucks the kansas city cheerleaders
uh oh god uh consensually and yes yes consensual kansas city Chiefs cheerleader orgy. I mean,
game recognized game, I guess.
Yeah.
It's not really
game recognized game there. It's just
admiration. Guy recognized game.
Guy would be like, oh, yeah,
dude, good job.
Good on you.
Brandon Brooks is retiring.
Brandon Brooks. Apparently he's going to be going to Penn.
Good for him.
Yeah.
I mean.
He's a Philly dude.
Yeah.
I mean, Philly legend, certified for life.
One of the best free agent signings.
I mean, Howie's not bad at free agent signings.
No, as we said, if you took away the ability to draft from him
and gave it to someone who was competent at drafting, they'd be the perfect GM.
And I feel like I might be just talking on my ass here, but they did something with the bonuses so that even though he's retired, he's going to get all his bonuses.
That's good.
Good on him.
Like the team went out of their way to make sure he got paid.
I always like when players like know that that like a receiver someone needs x amount
of yards and like in a meaningless game they'll just keep feeding him so they can get the bonus
oh yeah no definitely uh brandon brooks also when he got signed to philly he uh he took a picture
uh down in south philly like broad and oregon kind of area. Yeah. Yeah. He's like,
he's like,
Oh yeah,
I'll be just parking in the middle of the street here.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yep.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Welcome to South Philly,
dude.
There are no rules.
Yeah.
There's no rules.
The only rule is get a parking spot.
Um,
good luck to you.
Uh,
uh,
uh,
so,
so Brandon books are retired.
So,
I mean, obviously Phillyilly legend he's staying around here
um like good for him getting out uh getting paid gonna get him some himself some education like
fuck yeah dude like that rocks um brainer brooks coming to the podcast uh that would be sick. Oh, God, that would kick ass.
If this was 20 years ago and we wanted Eric Landros, I could swing it, but it's not.
I'm just going to start DMing people on Twitter and being like, come on my sports podcast.
I mean, at this point, the worst I can say is no.
Exactly. Or not say anything.
And, yeah, so the team,
so since then the team has committed to Hurst
as a quarterback for 2023,
or 22-23 season,
which I feel like he got to do that.
And his quarterback class isn't anything that this needs at.
No, this year's quarterback class is actually butt, so.
So, I mean, at this point, like... Why not stick with him?
Yeah.
Why not stick with him?
I mean, you got to the playoffs with him.
Yeah.
So, get some pieces that work well with him and see what happens.
And maybe our handsome boy will be able to get some sort of ring or trophy.
And I put in
the notes, draft nerd shit at some point.
I don't think we're there yet. We're not there yet.
That's your bailiwick.
Three picks. Yeah.
The defense
in the pass rush especially needs to be
upgraded.
The O-line, depending on retirements
and stuff, needs to be upgraded.
Not even necessarily upgraded,
but just refreshed.
They've hit on some gold with
Mailata, and obviously
Kelsey is the biggest
Eagles draft steal of all time.
Probably not even
close.
Kelsey doesn't have to leave
Philly. He will never pay for a drink the rest
of his life in this city. He could run for will never pay for a drink the rest of his life. No.
In this city.
He could run for mayor and he would win 90% of the vote.
Convincingly, yeah.
And I don't really care about this politics.
Run for mayor.
Just do it.
Fuck it.
Why not?
You can't do a better job than... Timothy Kenny?
Yeah, he sucks ass.
He's terrible.
Yeah.
Stop sucking the cuffs.
Exactly. Exactly.
Exactly.
Talk about Temple.
Yeah, so you made a mistake.
You were giving me hope.
So is this a Warner
of the Warners?
Yes, this is Kurt Warner's kid.
Kurt Warner?
Alright, alright, alright. He's apparently a three-star recruit. Of the Warners? Yes. This is Kurt Warner's kid. Kurt Warner? All right, all right, all right.
He's apparently a three-star recruit.
I regret to inform you, if you didn't already know it,
that the Warners are horrible evangelical Christians.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, absolutely.
That's why they were all plugging that movie.
I'm like, ah, I'm good.
Yeah.
I know Kurt Warner. Yeah, he's a good quarterback. Yeah, that's why like they were they're all like plugging that movie i'm like ah i'm good yeah i don't i know kurt warner yeah he's a good quarterback but yeah that's it yeah he's
committed to temple university so uh that's weird that's kind of that is kind of weird if you think
about it like why temple the dude's from arizona. I mean, this could work out.
The Philadelphia is objectively better than anything in Arizona.
Um,
three-star QB for temple is a pretty good get.
Yeah.
Uh,
yeah.
So unfortunately we are doomed to care about temple football again.
Um,
unless he just transfers after a year,
she's going to,
but, uh, he's going to pull a Matt Rule he's gonna go to Baylor
and then he'll go to the Panthers
I have not
still not forgiven Matt Rule
I'm still salty
or fucking what's his name
the Giants coach
wasn't he of Albatross
Joe Judge?
Yeah.
He may have been back in the day.
His parents. Yeah, he's from Philly.
He's from Doylestown.
Yeah, he went to Lansdale
Catholic, but no, he was not.
They still call themselves the Crusaders.
Fucking assholes.
I did
say that if the Giants
defeated the Eagles
both times, I was going to go find
his parents' house and do an upper
deck or guest room bathroom.
That's a very sane thing to say.
Yeah.
I don't think that's an actionable threat.
Does that fall into that category?
No, probably not. I'm just going to poop in the bathroom
but in the wrong spot.
That's fine.
Yeah.
Who cares?
Yeah.
I do want to.
All right.
Doylestown.
Cool.
Yeah.
Basketball.
Owls basketball.
Beat Cincinnati.
Yeah.
Starting to look up. Starting to look up.
Starting to look up.
Who knows?
Again, you're going to have to get past Houston in the tournament, but who knows?
Yeah.
But if we get into the Jesus Christ, the March Man, this would be kind of cool.
Yeah.
The last time it was years ago because I was at
Temple when they made it
yeah we had a watch party I remember
yeah it's you know
again everything's gonna come down to the
conference tournament but Temple is looking
Cincinnati is not a bad team
they've won four
straight I think so that's yeah they're
pretty good yeah I mean again
and the games they lost
to relevant
programs, they lost them
pretty close. I mean, there were some blowouts, absolutely,
but
the problem is
you gotta
these ugly losses
to St. Joe's by
19 and
UCF by 17
you know and like
they rounded into shape
the last few games I mean they
kept it closed in Houston a few weeks
ago
but
they're gonna have to go on the road and
play SMU
and ECU
and then Tulane.
And again, at Cincinnati, at Memphis, at Houston.
And then the tournament is March 10th through the 13th.
I mean, I'm hopeful that they can, you know, do damage and maybe Houston
suffers some sort of horrific collapse, which would be tight and Temple
ascends.
But I don't really see a scenario which,
uh,
temple without some help gets in this thing,
but you know,
it's possible.
Yeah.
Well,
we should still,
we,
we still should do,
uh,
go see one,
a live blog.
Yeah.
Live pod get kicked out.
Cause we're recording something.
Saturday, February 5th
against Tulsa
at 2pm
I'm not doing shit on Saturday
tickets are cheap too
of course tickets are cheap
yeah
I do want to see a Sixers game this year too
it's less good than it has been.
The whole presentation?
Yeah.
Well, you went early in the year, right?
Yeah.
It's just kind of off.
I think a lot of that, again, has to do with the fact that on defense,
they're missing something.
I wonder what that is.
I really wonder. I wonder what that is i really wonder i wonder i wonder
what's going on with defense i mean they've been like playing really well i mean we would be way
we'd be a couple you know spots up we'd be like fourth or something like that if if we had uh
some some player who's not playing who's really good at defense.
Hmm.
Can't think of anyone.
And who has,
who's a reputation for being very,
having a lot of endurance and being able to play a lot of minutes in
games.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Real nice compliment to our center who we have to worry about.
Yeah.
Cause he's,
cause he's giant guy and giant,
like God did not create us to be so large no and and yet despite
despite god's will he excels at all things he does yes he does which is basketball and trash talking
we are of course talking about ben simmons and joel and b and joel and b who is doing who is
okay so i have a couple things uh story came out that the Sixers were not looking to trade Ben Simmons until
the season is over.
And that is organizational malfeasance because you'd be wasting.
And this is an MVP season for him.
Oh, and you're wasting it.
Oh, unequivocally.
Yeah.
He is literally taking his team on his back.
Yeah. I don't, I don't know how many of these kinds of seasons
you're going to get out of the guy.
Right.
Why would you not capitalize on
him being
absolutely dominant?
Get what you can get.
Find some guys to complement his style of play
and just keep feeding him.
Even at this point, get a 6th
or 7th guy who can play D and keep shit going while he's not in.
Yeah,
absolutely.
Uh,
because that's the problem.
And it's the classic Sixers,
the,
the,
the process error.
And,
and since Sixers is the fourth quarter collapse.
Yeah.
Because they're just out of gas.
Right. Absolutely. And especially, you know, Joel's conditioning is much better this year, fourth quarter collapse yeah because they're just out of gas right absolutely and especially
you know joel's conditioning is much better this year but he's seven two he's seven two the man is
tired and he's got no help like occasionally like like the bench is you know like tyrese
looks like the point guard of the future but like oh you haven't here is shooting 28%. I know. Oh man.
You say there's a shot.
He's never seen a shot that didn't look good.
And it's like,
he's never seen a shot.
I didn't like you.
You kind of,
he might need to start being a little more discriminatory towards his shots.
Cause I love the dude.
He,
he is just,
he's all gas,
no brakes as a player.
Yeah.
And you love to see it,
but man,
20%. Jesus, dude. Fuck. Yeah. as a player yeah and you love to see it but uh man 20 jesus dude
fuck yeah so tonight uh this will it'll have happened by the time we post this but uh
playing joel and bead is shooting 49.9 and averaging 29 points a game for the Sixers. And he had 40 points in his
last three out of four games. Yeah, it's fucking
incredible. He is playing
just insane
basketball. Yeah.
He's fun to watch,
man. The dude rocks. Like, he kicks ass.
And they don't have everyone. Ben
is obviously out, but Seth Curry, Danny Green
and Shake are all out. Yeah.
You know, it's they play Shake are all out. Yeah.
You know, they play the Lakers tonight.
LeBron is questionable.
Now, I'm really hoping that the Sixers can do some dominant shit. I mean, the Lakers aren't that good, but, you know, they're not, like, a trash team.
No, and I'm never going to bet against LeBron James.
No.
Oh, if he's playing.
Oh, he's apparently out. He's a goat No. If he's playing and he's apparently out,
he's a goat.
Oh,
he's been ruled out status out.
I just checked on ESPN.
Well,
there you go.
Are we playing there here?
Yeah.
Here.
Yeah.
Cause they're,
they're dead.
Even they're 500 right now.
Yeah.
It's on TNT.
Oh,
it's a game of the week.
Yeah.
I,
I will say like,
that's,
that's what's gotten me pissed off this week.
It's just like, if you don't move Ben and the Sixers don't win, like, if you don't move Ben and the Sixers win the title, well, good.
Who cares?
Or at least get to the finals.
Right.
Because you never know what's going to happen in the playoffs.
Get out of the second fucking round.
Yeah.
Get out of the second fucking round.
If that doesn't happen, like, no, you't happen, no. Elton Brand needs to go.
Fucking Harris needs to sell the team.
This is an MVP season
and you're right. How many of these are we going to see?
That's not his fault.
It's just he's a big
man.
The knee was not designed for that.
The knee is a shitty...
It's the greatest argument
against
intelligent design. You want to talk about for that uh the knee is a shitty uh is the is the greatest argument against the um intelligent
design intelligence thank you uh you want to talk about uh doc rivers having a meltdown
which i think was fair no it was fair i mean they were up 24 at the start of the fourth and then
they lost by one and they're like oh well doc hey doc you think he was like coach or something like
that and he's like yeah like like i don't a coach or something like that? And he's like,
I don't know.
He's fucking mad, dude.
And then all the sports radio guys are like, oh yeah, he does not talk to
press or anything like that.
Like Kate Toland.
He has a ring and you don't.
Oh yeah, that's true.
He's mad.
There are criticisms of his coaching.
But you were mad about Brett Brown, too.
So like, where does it fucking end?
But I don't think a 24-point collapse is entirely up to the plays that were being called.
No.
No.
Absolutely not.
That's not.
That's part of that's on the players.
Yeah.
And if it's on the players, then it's on the person who built the team.
Elton Brand, where you at and and like 18 other people and some sort of weird anarchist don't do that don't do that
no it's it's it's for sure frustrating but like no i don't think that this is certainly the blame
does not all fall on doc rivers and it's absurd to say so.
No, and it's just for the evidence that the Sixers have to embrace democratic centralism.
Well, yeah.
I mean, we beat the Spurs, which are trash.
The Pelicans are trash.
The next couple of games are trash.
I mean, LA – I mean, now that LeBron's out, they're kind of trash.
We play the Grizzlies this weekend, which is going to be a tough one.
Grizzlies are a tough team.
That's a tough team.
But we really, the next stretch, I mean, should be all winnable games.
Well, Chicago at Chicago, and they're number one in the East.
Yeah.
Dallas is at least going to be like a fight and because
that's also at dallas didn't that get rescheduled too or something like that uh it might be a makeup
yeah yeah but then but then it's yeah the schedule balances out because you've got phoenix who are
very good but at least you've got them at home oklahoma city at home who are terrible cleveland
at home boston at home like looking to the next 10 games or so,
the vast majority
should be
Sixers wins.
Yeah.
Their home record
is not that great.
It's not something to be super pessimistic about.
The team is playing pretty well overall.
I mean, the Grizzlies, again, are like a test to see if this offense –
I don't know if we'll have Danny Green and Seth Curry back for that.
Right.
That offense has been clicking.
Yeah, and the Grizzlies are not
the bumping grind Grizzlies
this is a very fast young team
yeah they play fast they love fast
breaks they love to shoot like running
gun basically yeah so
that'll be that'll be tough especially with
no band you know
I mean Embiid is a world
class defender but he struggles to defend
the perimeter.
As a guy his size.
Oh, yeah, and that's not a criticism of him.
It's hard to move a 7'2 body.
Yeah, that's why you have the 6'1, 6'2 guy.
Just face guarding someone.
Yeah, yeah.
All right, Liam, we're up.
We're going to do a triangle.
Yeah.
How have these guys lost 73
games? Look, you could
set a pick.
I think you could. I'd
like to see that.
I missed the layup.
Yeah.
Womp.
Fuck.
All right. We've got to talk about the other team. yeah womp fuck alright
we gotta talk about the other team
that plays the same place
yeah
I guess we do
holy shit what a shit show this team is
13 game losing streak
worst in franchise history
welcome to Philadelphia
you've only been a franchise since the 60s
this fucking team is so god damn embarrassing history welcome to philadelphia i mean yeah you've only been a franchise since the 60s but uh this
fucking team holy shit it's so goddamn embarrassing oh my god this is the worst
broke the iron man streak that's kind of cool uh cool i mean who cares and with the 13 game
losing streak uh shit i mean i mean it's cool. I mean, it is cool, but
shit, dude.
Can you imagine being in that locker room?
I'd be, I don't know, I'd just be hammered
all the time.
It's got to be so fucking demoralizing,
dude. I can't wait to go out
and be made.
I'm like, because
any of the guys on that team, no matter
how bad they stink in the NHL, they're the top 0.1% of hockey players all time.
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, they're still like the, the, the, the best of their generation.
Right.
And then you're stuck on this shit.
Like, man, that sucks ass, dude.
I like, you mentioned me imagine being traded to Flyers?
That would suck ass.
Oh my god, morale has to be zero.
They must all...
If you think your job sucks ass right now,
at least they're getting paid a little bit on the Flyers.
Yeah, well, the ownership has said that the GM, Chuck Fletcher,
has a blank check to fix the team's problems.
Drew has a no trade clause,
so he's getting moved only if he wants out before the trade deadline.
I mean, he's been on this team for so long.
15 years.
I mean, at this point, who cares?
Like, you get paid regardless
come to the Bruins Claude
no
yes
yes
go to the Bruins and stay in one of the
shitty hotels in the fake area that they
built around the fucking
TD arena that's not part
of real Boston
where I stayed for five days The fucking TD Arena. That's not part of real Boston.
Where I stayed for five days.
I couldn't find a goddamn bar.
Yeah.
Except for one place that was like.
Also, it's TD Garden, not TD Boston.
Whatever.
And it's right near North Station.
How could you not find anything?
Have you gone to bars by North Station yeah you go to hurricanes i mean don't go to hurricanes but you can go to hurricanes or the harp i uh i figured we ended
up going to a place where you know uh the beers were only ten dollars and uh yeah you stayed in
a tourist area that's entirely your fault yeah well i was in the fucking north end speaking of town the old heads i got some coffee for cheap uh i'm going to boston
next month and we're staying in the north end i do i love boston boston's such a cool city thank
you i do love boston uh but i'll pass on your feedback yeah uh let them know let them know
that you're okay uh night Brewery is also good.
Night Shift Brewery is good.
Get the trade-sell pizza there.
Pretty cool.
Bartenders don't talk too much, which as a Philly guy, you're used to the bartenders wanting to know everything about you.
It's the worst thing in the universe.
It's the best thing in the universe, especially from out of town.
It sucks.
You are deranged.
I am from the city that's like you just want to talk about like
dumb shit like yo oh all right you cause where you from uh you're from fucking
delaware holy shit yo tell us about delaware i think i know sales tax fucking wild dude
that's how it goes that's how it goes you're not from the neighborhood
because you know
you know
it gets interesting
that's fucking funny though
a Philly thing is like you go to a bar
those of you who aren't from Philly
you go to a Philly bar and the
bartender just wants to know everything about
it and talk and hang out
as a Philadelphian like I said that's like oh shit this dude wants 25 bartender just wants to know everything about this talk and hang out. And, uh,
as a Philadelphian,
like I said,
that's like,
Oh shit,
this dude wants 25,
30% tip.
Don't,
um,
so,
he's going to earn his money.
God damn it.
Yeah.
Uh,
but unless you're Liam,
apparently,
uh,
apparently I don't like that.
I want to be left alone.
So we see that.
And this is the thing.
I am a pure extrovert,
which is weird for someone who loves the internet
so much.
But I just...
If you think yay Liams, not lay Liams.
I mean...
Yay Liams!
Build you up too much.
Don't ever say yay Tom.
Because...
It feeds on it oh
yeah i uh i thrive on that shit um
yeah that's why philadelphia rocks dude it seriously it is one great setting like like
you might think we're a bunch of assholes oh we beat up the robot well the robot fucking
had it coming the robot had it coming the robot fucking had it coming. The robot had it coming.
It was a Mormon. It was on mission.
Hitchbot had it coming.
Hitchbot was a warning.
Bad things happen in Philadelphia to
assholes, and Hitchbot was an asshole.
I don't know where to go with that.
The head was never found.
We're going to get hyper local here uh yeah that's uh that and the boy in the box those are the two philly uh we're gonna become
a true philly crime podcast um the have you ever heard of the shoemaker murders? Uh, no. Uh, look it up.
Cause they found one of the bodies literally 80 feet from where I grew up.
A hundred feet.
Holy shit.
Yeah.
Uh, the guy who used to do my grandpa's shoes, uh, ended up being, uh, a sex, a sex torture
murder killer with his son.
Joseph Kallinger.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Kallinger.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They had, they had, they had a cobble shop on Front Street, like front
of Allegheny. And they, yeah,
they killed some people.
And Marie No. Welcome to Philly, guys.
Marie No,
a woman who had eight kids and killed them all. And
Gary Heidnik was not too far from
where I grew up. So, yeah,
Kensington, great, great place.
You really could do a Philly true crime thing, but, uh, Jesus Christ. Yeah.
We're not, we're not doing that. Uh,
I won't play the dramatic piano drop we have that would suit that bit
perfectly. Um, so I, I gotta say,
so are they going to sell and tank the Flyers back to the Flyers?
Yeah, I think so.
I think they have to at this point.
It sounds like it's going that way.
Like, why would you?
I mean, I don't like tanking.
Me either.
But the season's lost.
A 13 straight.
Jesus Christ, man.
After another part of the season where they had lost 10 straight
i mean this is the season's over man like i don't like tanking either uh but it's not even tanking
at this point right like they just suck yeah um you know what and it's a team that you know has
a history of being pretty good overall.
Yeah, they won some cups.
Especially around the turn of the decade,
they were really good.
Man,
if you're one of your Art Delco listeners
and you got the calf tattoo, don't erase
it yet. They might come back.
One hopes.
One hopes.
Anything else, the Flyers, before we move over to the to the best sport no let's talk about uh let's talk about the goddamn fellas uh about baseball baseball
so we we had the hall of fame uh it's a 2022 hall of fame ballot come out. And I hope
if there's a way we can turn this
because you have to cover a beat
for so many years and you've become
part of the Baseball Writers Hall of Fame.
We can get ourselves into it.
Like the Baseball Writers of America
and you get the Hall of Fame ballot.
I would just write in
Barry Bonds 200
times. You got to be on the Veterans Committee. I'm going to ask you about Barry Bonds 200 times. You got to be on the
Veterans Committee. I'm going to ask you about Barry Bonds in a second
because
the only one who got in,
which I think is uncontroversial,
is Big Papi, David Ortiz.
So he is now a Hall of Famer.
And he absolutely
took steroids.
Who cares?
The dude rocks.
I was saying that you should be consistent and also allow Barry Bonds in. took steroids. Who cares? The dude fucking rocks.
I was saying that you should be consistent and also allow Barry Bonson.
Yeah, so
limiting the conversation to just right now,
Boston's
boy Big Poppy.
He also has a
great personality. I think that's
a big part of it, too.
He's a nice guy. He was so much fun to watch and i wonder what happened to the guy who stabbed him was
it stabbed or shot it was stabbed right i wonder what happened to that guy because uh i mean you
had like like i had the urge to to do things um just because oh he was shot he was shot yeah there
was like there was like a rash of shootings of tourists and like the maker public
like two, three years ago.
And, uh, some of, some of them probably deserved it, but you know, uh, big poppy definitely
didn't.
And, uh, the thing too, about the make Republic, there's like a lot of issues with like race
in terms of like, if you're, if you're, if you're dark skinned or not, and he's a darker
skin fella and there's like a bunch of shit there like it's i don't want to get too into that but like
you know he came from a community that even in a country that has like the shit end of the stick
with like uh colonialism imperialism like like he came and was this big success. He was this big
lovable goofball.
That just fucking
slammed home runs.
Like
I'm not a Boston Red Sox
fan. I'm a Phillies fan. I don't have anything against
the Red Sox. Red Sox fans, that's
another story. But the Red Sox themselves,
I love the franchise. Yeah. Not you
specifically, but your average red sox fan um and yeah david ortiz yeah good good for him man
yeah the roberto clemente award you know yeah that means you're a good dude if you get the
those are the roberto clemente clemente award is given to basically someone who does a lot of
charity work and is like a good guy so you don't get that for
Pete Rose also won it so you know
Pete Rose
one of the best
of all time
giant prick
giant prick
in a good way
he's unbelievably fucking obnoxious.
Like, that 80s, I mean, that's on the list of bonus episodes is like the 80s fillies.
And how many of those, 80s and 90s fillies really had almost no redeemable guys.
Yeah.
And speaking of the 90s fillies, right?
So the guys who are timed out of the Hall of Fame,
you get to be on it for 10 years.
And if you don't make it,
you're out. Is it 10 or 5?
It's 10, right?
Is it 10 years until you're eligible?
Then 10 years? Fuck.
Off the top of my head, I'm not
I don't want to search something because it might freeze my computer.
But the four that are timed out that are pretty big guys.
Barry Bonds.
I'm going to be retired for five.
Retired for five, on the ballot for ten?
Yeah, and on the ballot for ten.
All right.
So Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Roger Clemens, and Curt Schilling.
Let's get the easy ones out of the way.
Curt Schilling, we don't give a shit.
He's an asshole.
He was on the Phillies.
And the Red Sox.
He pins with a bloody sock.
What a just absolute guy.
Also winner of the Roberto Clemente Award.
Did he really?
Yeah, he really did in 2001.
The fuck?
I know.
All right, I retract my statement
Roberto Clemente award however
Roberto Clemente
angel absolute
just awesome human being
if you say anything better about Roberto
Clemente not only will I
fight you but the entire city of Pittsburgh will
and you will deserve it and all Puerto Rico
too so so it'll
happen man like like I mean, go ahead.
Kurt Schilling on the other hand.
First off, he almost bankrupted Rhode Island.
Yes.
Which, okay, that's actually kind of good.
But, I mean, he's a giant just prick politically.
He's a shithead.
Roger Clemens is also an asshole.
Barry Bonds just took steroids.
I don't
recall him doing anything
personally fucked up.
I don't either.
I kind of feel like he
deserved Hall of Fame. I thought so too.
You don't put like like baseball requires a lot
of skill you can't just hit home runs and not be able to barrel the bat like he had skill too
i mean and you know same like you were saying like david ort, did he take steroids? You say yes. Very much so.
Probably, obviously.
You get a lot of guys. I mean, Mark McGuire, obviously.
Frank Thomas claims
he did take steroids.
I'm actually kind of inclined to think maybe he didn't.
But
those arms are just
you know,
they're kind of dreamy. Jim Tomey,
who's probably my favorite ofomey, who's my favorite,
probably my favorite of that era.
Um,
he's a nice dude.
He's like one of the,
apparently one of the nicest human beings ever played a sport.
Uh,
he says he's never been involved in any kind of stuff.
He's kind of corn fed,
you know,
Midwest boy.
you know,
so,
so,
but Barry Bonds,
I feel like kind of belongs in there too uh again
good player yeah the steroids make you hit things harder but they don't make you see the
ball better exactly um unless i'm wrong i mean that's just like adderall like like some guy
like it's only 40 percent of i don't want to say 40% maybe it's like
30 40% of baseball players have an Adderall
Prescription
Which it does it does help you hit the
Ball better right
Because you're paying attention but
Give them give them
Steroids give them steroids
But in a way where they're not going to hurt
Themselves give them Adderall
And just like
let them fucking whack exactly exactly i want to see athletes at the peak of their physical
performance and you don't have to be an athlete to play baseball like i like like i want to see
like more more big dudes just slamming home runs and you know that's part of the fun of the sport
is that you don't have to be an athlete and you it looks like it's something that you or i could do
which we could um you know uh neither of us could hit a major league home run uh if you just put us
up that we'd be scared we'd be scared of the ball We'd be scared of the ball. I would be scared of the ball.
Could you imagine being a second baseman or a shortstop?
No.
Having a major leaguer hit a line drive towards you?
Oh, I'd poop my pants.
It's just like, I don't want to bring my jaw.
I don't want to bring my jaw.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Like, fuck, man.
That shit's wild.
I played outfield and I got scared of line drives.
No, I don't need any of that, man. That shit's wild. Like, I played outfield and I got scared of line drafts.
No, I don't need any of that, man.
Yeah.
So, you know, Sammy Sosa, you know, Sammy Sosa needs some help, man.
I don't know if you're too familiar with his saga post-baseball.
No.
He's had his skin bleached a couple times. times oh that's a shame yeah there's a dude needs
some mental health stuff um you know and he was part of that was really fun with him and mcguire
chase yeah it was it helped boost baseball back up so uh you know i kind of have a soft spot for Sammy Sosa being there.
I don't know if he fully fits Hall of Fame.
Now, to be fair, the Bonds made 69% of the vote.
I think it's 75% you have to get in there.
So he wasn't that far off.
Right.
Yeah.
But meanwhile, two of our two of our favorite boys here ryan howard and prince
fielder fielder prince fielder should have been the first ball at hall of famer yes and they were
dropped less than five percent so you don't get the terrible hall of fame uh that's terrible
ryan howard deserved more than five percent and so did prince fielder. I love Prince Fielder. So my theory is that this is fat phobia.
Yes.
Because they're both big, hardy boys.
And they probably love their moms.
And they just hit the ball really hard.
I don't know what else to say besides that.
Jimmy Rollins, it was also his first ballot.
And this is a big discussion.
So the 2008 Phillies, right was also his first ballot. And it is a big discussion.
So the 2008 Phillies, right?
You had Ryan Howard.
Jimmy Rollins, I mean, objectively, is a better player.
9.4%. I wonder what Chase Utley is going to end up being.
I think next year, I think he's up for it.
I think so.
Chase Utley is going to retire.
Wow.
Yeah, I know.
You want to get me going, by the way,
start playing cashmere and imitate Harry
Cowles.
You'll be my
guy.
Oh, yeah.
I loved all those guys. All the 2008
Phillies.
Jamie Moyer.
Fucking Chooch.
All those guys
fuck Brett Myers I hate that dude
piece of shit
asshole but most of those
dudes on that team were pretty solid dudes
and Philly legend Pat Burrell
that's a bonus episode to do itself
I want to do a Pat Burrell episode
that's where we're going to get
going to get a cuz on there
because he
he lives not too far from the Black Horse that's, that's where we're going to get, uh, got to get a cousin there. Cause, uh, he, uh,
he knows he lived not too far from the black horse tavern where
pepper was famous for receiving,
uh,
services from adoring fans.
Uh,
good for him.
Oh,
Pat Burrell.
I mean,
they called him Pat the bat for a reason.
Yeah.
It wasn't because of his baseball,
uh,
skills.
Um,
so Jimmy Rollins,
I put a 4% first ballot.
Yeah.
He's not going to make it to the Hall.
I don't think Chase will either.
I don't think anyone from that team will, honestly,
despite them being sort of forever in our hearts as Philadelphia fans.
That 2007, 2008,
2009 Phillies were just something
magical.
Oh, yeah.
If you
don't know what we're talking about, just
go on YouTube and look it up.
Just look up the highlights from that season. It was
a bunch of just guys that just kick
ass. You know, there's
a reason that Always Sunny has an episode about
trying to become Chase at Least Friends.
Yeah, that's the gang
gets lost in the woods.
And
it's the Riot Punch episode too.
Yes.
Which we will,
this summer, we are going to do
an episode from
Lot M.
That would be fun.
Yeah. Oh, can you imagine that?
We'll do that.
We'll just have to tone down the leftist shit
so we don't get beat up.
Fair enough.
I haven't been in a fight
in a long time. Me either.
You know what it is? It's the women in our lives that keep us from getting records uh all right back to more philly shit so uh if you were a philly's fan
you like kevin franson uh well either become a nationals fan or say goodbye because he left kind of sucks the Phillies radio team was really good
yeah
Scott
Franski and Kevin Franson they were really good together
and now you have Scott Franski
and fucking what's his name
shit he's an asshole
Larry Anderson
Larry Anderson
is a
Prick by the way
Uh
Even though you'd be like
Oh wait has he not been GM for a couple
For two years yeah you're right
He but John Milton doesn't pay
For it wow we are falling asleep
Um
That's right we're at an hour at this point
Um
I mean uh baseball the the CBA stuff.
So I don't want to get too in the weeds.
Still nothing.
So it's not nothing.
Apparently the two big things the owners won't budge on.
They've literally said, don't even bother.
It's the arbitration.
Basically in baseball, once you hit the major leagues, you have six years before you become a free agent.
The first three years, it's tender contracts.
You offer the contract, and you can accept it or go not play for a year.
And then after that, three years, you have arbitration.
Right.
And the Players Association was like like let's cut this down it doesn't need to be six years like maybe make it four or five
and then the mlb owners who are the biggest pricks on the planet um with the smallest penises uh
said no and the other thing that they won't touch is revenue sharing, which is like the luxury tax.
So those are the two things they,
they said are non-starters.
Don't bother.
Don't even fucking try.
Um,
but maybe,
I don't know that I've heard through the grapevine that like,
I'm some fucking insider.
I've heard on Twitter,
other podcasts,
uh, that, uh, Like I'm some fucking insider. I've heard on Twitter and other podcasts that they are telling minor leaguers to report February 21st.
So if you're in a minor league contract, you're not subject to this.
So they're saying report to spring training February 21st, which is the date that anyone who's not a pitcher or catcher will report.
So they usually report a week early.
But speaking of minor leaguers, I don't know if you recall,
this is pretty early on.
They were talking about the minor league.
The MLB agreed that minor leaguers would get housing paid for free as part of
like, so you wouldn't have to pay.
Oh, good.
So the organization was behind
kind of pushing the mlb is like oh yeah so it looks like they're they're like building tenements
oh not good for players that's good where there might be three or four to a room
come on man and it's like it's all up to like what team you're on
like if you're on the Royals you're probably fine
you know but if you're
on like the Phillies or the Mets
the Phillies actually
if you're on the Mets or the Dodgers it's like
oh you're fucked dude that sucks dude
so they need a form of
fucking union dude like at this point
like
I was talking to my coworkers today where we were
saying like, you know, people shitting on teachers.
And, uh, I actually had an argument in public last year, um, when the schools closed for
COVID.
And, uh, so I found schools closed.
I went to the beer store as one does.
And, well, we're gonna be virtual us here buying beer.
And,
uh,
I talked to the guys at the store and they're like,
oh yeah.
Oh man,
that's wild.
Like we just heard.
Yeah.
It was on the news.
And some fucking old head is like,
uh,
of course.
Oh,
well you get the summers off and all this shit.
And,
uh,
I was like,
oh yeah, uh, yeah, we get the summers off all that. Cause the And, uh, I was like, Oh yeah,
you get, uh, yeah, we get the summers off all that. Cause the kids are off.
So there's nothing for us to do. Um, so, uh, so, so you're saying, but, uh,
I'm trying to paraphrase here. Like, uh, so, so you're saying that you,
you know, we don't do like, we don't work or what is it? He's like, Oh,
well you get, you get paid and you get the summers off and you,
and you get all this time off of the shit. I was like, I was like, shit, man. Like, what about you, dude? Like, how's that work? He's like, I work 60 hours a week. I'll get paid shit. get the summers off and you get all this time off of the shit I was like shit man like what about you dude
like how's that work he's like I work 60 hours a week
I don't get paid shit I was like man sounds like
you need a fucking union at your job
and uh yes
I
he's like oh I don't need a union I was like no
it sounds like you do because you can't negotiate that with your boss
and the I was
worried I was going to get in trouble at the beer distributor
because like they're not union.
And
the one,
the owner's son literally was like,
hey, I got friends who are teachers.
They worked or something. They got to find second
jobs. I was like,
thank God. So the guy left
after the staff shit on him.
Good. Yeah. It's like, fuck you, dude.
Fuck that guy. Yeah. Fuck that dude.
Form a goddamn union.
Don't complain that teachers don't have it.
Oh, you guys, first of all, we don't have it.
It's because we're 60-hour fucking weeks.
We're your shitty kids.
You can't put your cell phones away.
Fuck your kids.
We cannot be clear enough on this.
Yeah, your kid.

It doesn't have to be that.
It could be Solidarity Forever.
But the Utah Phillips version where they call capitalists free parasites.
