He is actually going to eject a fan. Because bad things happen in Philadelphia, bad things. The fan jumped into the penalty box area. Joy it is to come to Philadelphia and stand here and dodge an ice ball. We, the Dallas Cowboys, had a sense of making time to do it. And we are in fact live. We are live from the Midwest. No.

No, we're not in the Midwest. And I'm keeping those sneezes in. I could have muted myself, but I decided not to. No, we're not the fucking Midwest, dude. We are. You want to talk about the background of this, or do you want to just not inform the listeners as to what we're doing? Well, so what I'm referring to, I was listening to Effectively Wild, which is

a baseball podcast, and they there was a bit of a tiff, I guess, going on, because one of the hosts, they were debating about what Midwest was, and someone said Cleveland wasn't the Midwest. Cleveland's the Midwest, I would say. I don't know. Pittsburgh.

And people were saying, well, Pittsburgh's not Midwest. The one host, Meg, was like, no, it's not Midwest. It's part Pennsylvania. I think it's culturally Midwest. But then in the next episode, the one I'm listening to now, it's a couple days behind, but they said that

they did this survey, and they included Philadelphia in the survey, and apparently 10% of Philadelphians who responded said that they were in the Midwest. You're not. Right. You're not. If you are one of those people listening, who listened to this podcast and you think

Philadelphia is in the Northwest or Midwest. Please write it. And you think we're in the Northwest too, please write it. Cause I would love to know how the fuck we're in Oregon. But yeah, what, what would make us Midwest? The only way I could think that is if you conflate it with the Rust Belt Which were like I guess the most Eastern extremity

But So this would have me thinking Alright, Northeast I have gotten into actual arguments in real life Over people about where Philadelphia Is regionally Oh yeah, yeah, so saying I think we could all agree that we're part of the Mid-Atlantic.

The Mid-Atlantic being Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, New York, Maryland, and Virginia. Would you agree to that? Yeah. Virginia is kind of like our way. Northeast Virginia, like the D.C. area, I think. Yeah. Well, I also think it also depends sort of on where you are in maryland right because like extreme western maryland is like its

own its own thing like once you get past frederick you're kind of in in in in some weird stuff like i'm here frostberg in that yeah well i i think i think if we're we can't actually use the states to do these like cultural demarcations no because the border yeah i think you have to go it's like east of appalachians or not like harrisburg east yeah that's that's mid-atlantic and i also say it's also northeast but then it's like who is harrisburg northeast so it's philadelphia in the northeast yeah yeah i would say so and i've had arguments like no no nope it stops at new york no it doesn't i don't agree so we're only what 90 miles away from new york yeah yeah and and uh we're not in new england obviously um

there's some people who want to include new york and new england which i don't know with although like again like you can't do it by state because like hang on one second my torrent client is going crazy uh i might explain why you froze no it wasn't that but i uh it decided that my my torrent of reservoir dogs was very bad no good but i think i killed it yeah it's dead okay cool yeah um again the state lineage because pennsylvania is effectively two states like with the susquehanna yeah being the border yeah yeah i would say that yeah yeah absolutely you know and and like and like new york you know east of the hudson's definitely different than west of the Hudson.

Exactly. And the upstate is different from the metro area. But yeah, I would definitely say that Philadelphia is in the northeast. It is. No, it is. I mean, I think a lot of it is that everyone besides us is a moron. That's true. That is true.

That's correct. That's correct. Right. Exactly. We know this to be true. Right is true. That's correct. That's correct. Right. Exactly. We know this to be true. You know. Right. Excuse me.

Nice. Thank you very much. It's not Coke Zero Burp. But yeah, I do think like I just like to me, the Northeast culturally is like Boston, Hartford, New Haven,ork trenton like philadelphia baltimore and then maybe dc i sort of i sort of view dc as like a it's ross has pointed out more than once it's just the most northern city it's southern city it's the most northern southern like it dc dc now, is completely ruined, but it used to be cool.

So, so, so this is like the definition of Northeast is Amtrak. Yeah. The Accela corridor is, is the Northeast. Yes. Okay.

And obviously like is Maine the Northeast. Cause like, you know how the thing that really pisses me off is when people are like, Oh, Texas is in the South. And it are like, oh, Texas is in the South. It's like, no, Texas is Texas. Yeah, it's its own thing. It's its own thing. It's sort of the way I feel about Maine.

Once you get out of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, shit starts getting real weird. Rural Vermont is its own fucking thing. Once you get, I don't know, maybe 30 miles north of boston like you can tell you're in like a different biome yeah yeah like the north shore is the same fucking thing but yeah like like it's like the plant like oh there's it's mostly conifers now yes uh there's there's also like western mass is so unlike a lot like the quiet corner of connecticut is different than like anything else because no one fucking lives there but if you go out to where like stores is like

where yukon is uh there's it's i i was talking to my dad once we were visiting the campus for the first time in a very long time and he goes what what blows my mind is that this place just still hasn't been built up at all so it it's just nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, Yukon, nothing, nothing, nothing, Yukon, nothing, nothing,

nothing. I gotta, I gotta pull this, pull this up on the map here where stores is. Yeah. Yeah. That's in the, it's in the fucking middle.

No. Yeah. Well, it's an agricultural school. That's why I like, I don't, I don't understand the people who bitch about like Penn state. I mean,

fuck Penn state, but people who are like, Oh, the kids are too loud. I'm like, you live there because the university is there. There is, there is no reason for you to like yeah it would be it would be a like fucking what's something like lewistown yeah if if if state if yeah if if this the college wasn't there yeah there'd be no reason to go to state college right yeah oh man um

yeah right in the fucking middle of state right cultural schools dude like yeah yeah so i think yeah we can we can all agree that we're not in the midwest we're in the northeast we're in the mid-atlantic and um how would you say about pittsburgh being in the in the midwest culturally the midwest sure yeah i i would say that and this would be this would be good to have a what's his name on francis on does the midwest does the midwest end at the mississippi oh it just becomes like the great plain states yeah because if you think if you want to conflate midwest with old west right like and not like wild west but like the original west back in the 13 colony stays that would be like stopping at the mississippi right right right right yeah i don't have as much of a cultural like touch on those states i've only i've i've like i fucking have never

been to chicago have you never been to Chicago? I love Chicago. I've never been, I think I, you know, one of these days, one of these years when we decided to do another American road trip, but maybe if visiting the United States wasn't more expensive than visiting Europe, which it is right now. Isn't that bizarre? Like a flight to fucking LA is more expensive than a flight to Ireland. I'm going to, I mean, I'm going to Location Redoubt. Oh, I'll believe that. You're going to a Mountain Redoubt?

Yeah, I'm going to my chalet. You're going to the Eagle's Nest. I'm going to my chalet. Thank you. You're going to Berkdusgaden. I'm pleased that the listeners have allowed me to allow my mountain house. It's not in the Poconos, is it, folks?

You've heard the call of the Ur-Hi-Mat. I'm looking for my ancestors' gold. In case you're wondering what the bootleg stream of the week is, folks, before we do introductions, it's American at Army. Oh, yes. folks before we do introductions it's american at army uh oh yes my mom went to uh american for undergrad uh because her parents wouldn't let her go to the university of denver because she wanted to learn how to ski and if you've ever met my mother that would not have gone well no she's very sweet but uh no i could not i could not see that happening no no americans up 46 39 we got 12 minutes left in the second half.

A team I feel some loyalty to uh i have a couple friends that ended up at lehigh it's a good school uh yeah i do like the uh number 15 lehigh 15 seed lehigh knocked off number two duke uh in the ncaa tournament about 10 years ago maybe longer than that but there's a really

funny rap song on youtube simply called lehigh beat duke uh i i highly recommend that you listen to it because fuck duke and everybody who went there and uh oh yeah yeah this is this is this is kind of my uh my time of year because you get to like i get to like rally off figures to corinne she absolutely does not care about uh i get to yeah my wife canceled her patreon subscription today yeah you're gonna have to handle that i am i'm gonna she doesn't subscribe to the well there's your problem patreon because she doesn't believe that we should make more money uh it's all about the numbers it pays rent we got to make it look good she my favorite thing about corinne is that she i'll ask her what's your favorite there's your

pop-up so she goes the live the live shows are my favorite and i'm like that's because the other ones you were forced to listen to because you run merchant those yeah i i think the um there's i don't even think my wife's listened to the ones I was on. That's brutal. Yeah. Um, I did, I did,

uh, you know, it's funny. So, um, she just texted me. I unsubscribed from the 10 K Patreon this week. Yes.

So I'm like, oh, I can, now I have a sort of window into the mind of like, please just get to the engineering place type of commenters. Oh, fuck that. Although her politics are aligned. Hey, I don't blame people.

It's not everyone's thing. I use this podcast to air grievances. no lines hey i don't i don't blame people it's not it's not everyone's thing i got uh you know i i use this this podcast to air grievances uh yes as we should because we got we got to fill time like we always do uh and someone was like uh liam's heart didn't really feel in it in the fashion episode and i was like well we had a guest who knew way more than i did and it was a four-hour episode i contributed i i love those though like the when someone's like oh someone didn't feel into it they try to get into someone's mind yeah it's like it's like you don't really know there are episodes where you can clearly tell i'm mailing it in but i i by and large

try try not to do it there are episodes there's i i don't think i've ever told you this is an episode oh there's your problem. I'm not going to specify which one, but I will tell you off air. Where we had to scrap it because one of our hosts fell asleep. Okay. Oh, no. Yeah, we had to re-record it. It was brutal.

All right, hold on. Let me pause. Let me pause the recording real fast. Yeah. All right. So, yeah. yeah we had to re-record it it was all right hold on let me pause let me pause the recording real fast yeah uh all right so yeah yeah all all of them are your favorite yeah all of them are my favorite uh i i actually have some some some some shit to talk uh about yeah i have a rant oh we should do the intros first before i go on my second rant okay um well hello welcome to another episode 10 000 losses the only phil only Philadelphia regional categorization podcast that exists. I'm your host, Tom Payne. My pronouns are he, him.

This is my co-host, Ye. Liam. Hi, I'm Liam Anderson. My pronouns are he, him. Fuck you, Spike Eskin. Eat shit, writes to Ricky Sanchez. Eat shit, birds with friends. Is there any other sport, Philly sports?

I don't listen to any Philly sports the phillies one the we had the guys who stole our logo but then sorry zancaster shit itself here i think i think my problem with so there's two things i want to talk about yeah number one is the xfinity live expansion oh i am i am believe it or not all for it because it's just dead space down there it's just parking lots right like i don't give a shit if it means the sixers stay in philly or not stay in in south philly or not right uh i think that that's probably what xfinity is doing or comcast is doing to bring people and keep them there. Xfinity Live, we've been there together, is an absolute

hellhole. It's the worst place in the world. The pissing, the losing Roz. That was fun. Was that when I broke the toilet? Yeah, but you, well, it was the urinal and you turn around and the guy comes behind you

ready with his like his pants down and just gets splashed by water and piss and i laughed so hard i couldn't stop laughing and then and i stepped on the guy's foot and he's like i'm like yo i'm sorry big boy like kyle schwerer big boy sees and the guy's like oh fuck it you're fighting yeah that's thank you just proved that all you need to do to get through a crowd in philadelphia is be like oh i'm sorry man go birds sorry man yeah that's that's basically all you have to do honestly yeah so um so you're saying yeah the the they're upgrading xfinity live yeah uh they're investing a pile of money into it um they're gonna make it the like the battery at truest which i actually when i was down in atlanta for the phil's brave series i went to

game one uh i quite liked having the battery there i mean i i obviously that does not uh negate how i feel about how cobb county and the Braves handled the situation, which was gruesome, racist, and appalling. Right. But I will say I like the daiquiri bar being a two-minute walk from the stadium. Yeah. I mean, I like the idea of more walkable. Like, that's fine. But what is currently just parking lots?

Right. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. I think that that makes sense. Um, my, my feelings are, are basically that I'm fine with it. My second rant is,

uh, we'll get into it. What the fuck are the Sixers doing? My guy. Hmm. I don't, I, I,

I don't know. Yeah. It's, it's bad. Oh, shit. Richard Lewis. Die. All right. All right. It did. All right. Yeah. It's bad. Oh, shit. Richard Lewis died. R.I.P.

It did. R.I.P. Well, yeah, I guess we can get into the Sixers in a minute. Do we want to make our announcement about the live stream thing? Go for it, dude. Yeah. So if you're a patron, by the time this is out, you would have seen it. We're going, we're shooting.

Charlie was the first one to like it. We're going to do a live stream on the 13th of March. So actually in a few weeks, that would be two weeks from today. So that's as much time. We originally had set up to that. Once we hit $ hit 250 we would do like a live stream every other month um we hit we hit 250 um at one point so we're gonna do it uh this one's gonna be a very like trial run version of it i guess like you say like we don't

we're not 100 sure how to do it yet so we're going to have to figure that out in real time. Sorry. Yeah. So it'd be sometime in the afternoon on Wednesday, 13th of March, probably later in the day, just so that, you know,

everyone can do it, um, for like an hour or two. Um, probably using discord. Unless there's another way we can illegally stream. Not illegally. I don't know what you're talking about.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, whoa. Whoa. Yeah. So,

so we'll put the details out and that those details, like that would be for, if you want to be, if you want to listen to it, you like, we'll, we'll eventually dump it, the audio from it,

I guess if we could record it, but we, so we got to figure that out too. But that would be like a like a patreon like you won't get the link unless you're a patron patron so um whereas that comes closer if you want to um be have us make fun of you and make fun of uh some sort of mediocre conference championship basketball yeah we've emphasis on mediocre yeah mediocre yeah we're not we're not trying to watch the final four we're not trying to watch the ncaa tournament we're trying to watch yeah maybe opening round of the a10 yeah yeah that's what we're trying to watch so um yeah uh

the more details will be on patreon.com it's only we's only... Patreon.com says 10,000 losses. It's a dollar less than all of our bonus episodes. But more if you're cool. More if you're cool. Yeah. And... Also, voicemail. 2673717218. Give us your name and pronouns.

Give us your views on iTunes. And you can follow us on Twitter. If you don't want to be on the voicemail, you can actually text that number or you could DM the pie that 10KLossesPied on Twitter. Alright.

So. We got a lot of mileage out of that. Dick and Balls last week. Yeah, we did. Actually, when we started recording i heard i started that wonder if i was hallucinating because i heard my voice coming through your speaker yeah i was i i i had been told that it was a good episode so i was listening to it i i that was a that was a really good episode that was one of the but that was that

was like a that was a top 10 i think think. Yeah, I think so. So if you're listening to this and you haven't listened to the Shoho Ohtani episode, go out there and listen to that. But these jerseys still hate it. I saw an article today in the Inquirer where, except for Brandon Marsh, who says it feels really big on him, so he likes it. All the other players have- What a strange man. He is a strange man. It feels really big on him, so he likes it. All the other players have expressed dislike.

And they were off the record saying stuff like profit margins. So they know. They get it. And apparently the Kansas City Royals were able to lobby to keep their number size, the regular size, and not this reduced size that they have now. Very interesting. And the Cardinals lobbied to keep their chain-stitch logo. So the Phillies also had a chain-stitch logo, and they did not lobby for that, nor did they lobby for numbers. Thanks for nothing, Middleton, you asshole.

Yeah, he's probably fucking friends with Rubin. Again, we're asking, please, President Biden, use the Sherman Antitrust Act. Please fucking destroy fanatics. Yeah, please. Before you do anything else, before you go after amazon which we you know so so the wife and i we went out and to see just as a side here we went out to see american fiction that's a funny movie um but the mgm is owned by amazon now what oh yes that's right dude how are they legally allowed to they are actively trying to corner like every market they yeah i forgot they do that except they didn't get the the the bond the bond rights

i read that was like a huge sticking point was that they didn't get the rights to bond they got the distribution rights to uh some bond movies but they didn't get like creative control of the bond franchise that they wanted. No company should be that big. They have too much power. They're approaching nation-state level power. I mean, they're probably more

powerful than some nation-states. Oh, yeah. If Amazon wanted mercenaries, they could have a larger army than an average-sized country, probably, yeah. If Amazon wanted mercenaries, they could have a larger army than an average sized country, probably, if they wanted to. Yeah, fuck that shit.

Maybe Fnatic's going to be bought by Amazon next. Oh, God. Amazon Basics, and it's just a shitty Phillies jersey. They just throw it at your fucking house From the car Got piss stains on it

Just a brick with a note that says I hate you Welcome to 10,000 Losses An Amazon podcast Yeah I always like the Emails I get from there's a problem that are like would you like to distribute no would you like no no i wouldn't no um i'm the one who answers the emails man yeah we gotta check ours we haven't i haven't i haven't checked that email in over a year so boy yeah um yeah yeah yeah we got like you know hey we're trying to uh reach one of you guys uh we're television uh

we need to do wip host um uh so um so there's something there's something rotten in the in the kingdom of of the eagles yeah so i want to talk about that there's some fucky shit going on and and the one we wanted to talk about last week, but we were in really long, which was Big Dom. Right. So Big Dom, you know, every good team has a resident Italian who can wrangle other Italians. The get back coach, basically. Yeah. So Big Dom was DeSandro, I think.

I don't know. Make up an Italian-sounding name. Dominique Grande. DeSandro. De Cocchio. Oh, my God. I didn't realize he was from South Philly, too. DePene Grande.

So Big Dom. Apparently when he got basically the start of the Eagles problems was him getting kicked off the sideline. Because Dom DeSandro was like. He went to the same high school as my mother-in-law. Oh. He's got a Wikipedia article now. Of course he has a Wikipedia article, man. I like born 1978 or 1979.

He earned an athletic scholarship to play for the Nittany Lions, but did not appear in any games, being dismissed from the team for unspecified reasons. He was too busy handling the waste management of the team. Uh-huh. Oh, a degree in sports management. Yeah. So

he got fined 100 grand for that. That's too much money. That's a lot for a not player. Man. So apparently he was keeping Nick's fucking head on straight. On straight. Right. Yeah.

There's a lot of stuff coming out there's just like a lot of shit coming out now in general about like the Eagles collapse going on in six at the end of the season last year it seems like a culture problem it does I mean we've we've been very I don't know not we've been we've been very, I don't know, not we've been, we've been mixed on Sirianni, but I think we're both like, I don't, I don't trust him to get the job done. No. And we said that from the beginning and we did give him a chance and it

seemed like he was doing well and maybe we were wrong. We never are. As we've learned. No. Yeah. It sounds like we were right. And it's just this bizarre thing that if you're a head coach and you need to have a big Italian guy there to fucking keep you calm,

keep you calm. That's not good. No, that's a bit, that's, that's, that's more than a court eyebrow. That's a,

yeah. Yeah. Derek gun apparently had reported that, um, big Dom controls his motion sidelines and that in his absence, Nick gets in numerous arguments with players and coaches during the game. I, if,

if you got to have a guy like, if you're, if your boss is like the only thing between you, you, you and getting fired is this guy. Like, that's not a good sign. Is it?

That's not a good dynamic. I don't like that dynamic. No, no, no. And A.J. Brown went on WIP, and he yelled at the media. Which he was right to do. I don't know how he did the team say that was okay. What's going on with this, this,

this team. Right. What I don't. Yeah. It's a, it's a great, it's a, it's a valid question, man.

I mean, it feels like, like we're waiting for the bottom to fall out next year. Yeah. And it kind of feels like we're, we're going to get like a, I don't know, like a seven and 10 season and the knives we're going to get like a 7-10 season

and the knives are really going to be out it just feels that way dude we got another Marcus Hayes article but he was saying that there's how would you say it? There's two tiers of players. You got your stars on the Eagles, and they don't get criticized by coaching staff. And then there are everyone else.

And so when things went bad – Just the other guys, right. They were the whipping boys for the stars. Right. I imagine that's not a very fun dynamic to play under no no and i i would not imagine that someone like jalen hertz would be okay with that but um and all this is is backed by an unnamed source. Right. But that the newer players, the younger guys, the guys who weren't established stars, they would be getting berated by staff when they made mistakes. Right.

And we can't have that. Realistically, we can't have that. Yeah. yeah and and marcus is also citing like derrick gunn saying that there's some issues um that there's a couple other people like craig carton apparently said there was locker room issues on on fox there's just a couple other i don't know i don't know and then you hear about like hassan reddick like, does he want to trade? Does he not? Like,

and then it kind of came out that he had never asked for a trade. Yeah. And they were basically just telling him to what felt like to go find one. And like, I don't know why you wouldn't keep Hassan. Uh, and I understand that we're biased. I mean,

he's, it's still an elite talent. Yep. He's really Hassan Reddick. Good at football. As we know. Uh, I mean, he's still an elite talent. Hassan Reddick, good at football, as we know. And this has nothing to do with us both being

delusional Temple boys. Right, yeah. I just, it feels like the vibes are off. The vibes are off, but it felt like that last season. It felt like, you know It felt like the fills at the beginning of... Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, the 2022 season.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. With Girardi, where the vibes seemed fucked. Right. Now, Whit Merrifield's saying, this team, the culture is awesome. These guys just are having fun. And it's a great culture. Yeah.

I mean, we're going to all gas, no brakes our way to a World Series championship. Yeah. We don't need pitching. We don't need pitching. Nah, you don't need it. Fuck it. Yeah. All right.

American is in control of this game, by the way. It's 68-50 with like 210 left to play. Good. Good. We got to keep those Iron Boys down. I know my mom is deeply invested in how the

American University Eagles perform. Oh, man. Yeah, I don't... We'll see what happens. We'll see. The draft's coming up relatively soon. We'll see. There's talk know we'll see i was you know the draft's coming up relatively soon and and uh yeah we'll see we'll see what i just talk of trying to get jeremiah trotter jr yeah which i was a big jeremiah trotter fan yeah the phrase jeremiah trotter jr doesn't

doesn't sit well right with me yeah it's like has it been that long? Really? Yeah. I'm going to be 36 in a month. I mean, he went to prep because, of course, he did. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. All right. You want to move on to basketball? Mm-hmm. So you must be happy about the game last night.

Your loyalties collided. My loyalties collided my loyalties collided it was great fun to watch Corinne suffer obviously it always is yeah what's going on with the Sixers

man like I mean I guess they don't have Embiid but like I kind of thought it wouldn't go this bad. Like they kept it close and kept it gross with the Celtics until the Celtics pulled away in sort of the final minutes of the fourth. But it's like, it's not, it didn't feel like cause to be optimistic. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, I, um, it's, you know, it's kind of, as you're saying that it makes, it makes you think like, yeah, like, like the Sixers are kind of like holding their own a bit and then just

shitting and farting. Yeah. With it's tough not having a bead. It's tough putting Paul Reed against Christopher Zingas. You know, right. It's, it's,

it's tough to, when you have like, just like when you're giving Ricky counsel, the fourth minutes, like, you're giving ricky counsel the fourth minutes like you know i don't i don't think it's anything other than you basically just need to tread water until and bead is back but at the same time it's it's a bit frustrating to hear like this is the year this is the year this is the year this is the year um i mean i also i also think that that tobias harris fucking sucks i have always thought tob Tobias Harris fucking sucks

I have always thought Tobias Harris fucking sucks 29 minutes 2 rebounds 13 points I'm looking at the box score Jalen Brown 6 rebounds Jason Tatum 11 rebounds Chris Prasingas 12 rebounds

Drew Holiday 7 rebounds Derek White 6 the most any player on the sixers had in rebounds was fucking mo bamba at six everyone else is like three two so they they won the board there you know like let me pull up the because the sixers actually did some stuff right in that game yesterday uh including like they they kept the celtics just the like the celtics had like five made threes or something like Sixers space that incredibly well,

like did that really well, took away the, the, the Celtics ability to score the three and then got melted down inside. But I also want to draw your attention to like why I'm saying that is like, look at the sheer amount of, of free throws attempted. Oh,

wow. Yeah. Oh, wow. No, that's a, that's a 25 free throws attempted. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. That's a 25 free throw difference. That's where I feel like you can really feel the loss of Embiid. It's just like not getting the free throws, which as much as we hate it, is the key to

generating offense in today's NBA. Yeah. Kyle Lowry had 23 minutes and 3 points. But like, Kyle Lowry had 23 minutes and 3 points. Like, you know. Yeah. We'll know the consequences of the Pat Bev trade by the end of the season.

Yeah. Look at his production. I mean, Kelly Oubre Jr. did alright, but had 3 points. Like, you look at the starters. Tyrese had a great game. Tyrese Maxey usually does have a great game. He's very good at basketball, but he's just not enough.

I mean, if you look at the box score, Sixers are over here shooting 33% from three. It's perfectly respectable. It's not great. And the Celtics shoot 22.7% from three. It's perfectly respectful. It's not great. And the Celtics shoot 22.7% from three, but shoot 52.7% from tail. That's... 37-94 field goals in the Celtics.

Did not shoot nearly as many. 39 out of 74. Much higher percent. Yeah, did not shoot nearly as many. 39 out of 74. Much higher percent. Yeah, that's... I mean, the Celtics are a great team. They're fucking 46-12. Right. They are statistically, by some categories, the best Celtics team ever,

which, given their long and storied history, is actually very impressive. Yeah, no, definitely. You hate to have to hand it to them, but... Much like ISIS. at least i do um yeah uh yeah well what's what's the the eta on indeed coming back i thought it was like six to eight weeks i don't know it's bad bad. Yeah. I mean, I guess half the fucking league makes it to the playoffs.

Right. Yeah, we'll see how that goes. We're dropped down to, what, six in the standings? Yep. Yeah. Yeah. Hopefully we can hold on to that long enough for Embiid to be back, but yeah, that's not great. Not ideal, right. Talk about the flyers

who are an extremely goofy team right now they won against the absolutely dismal blackhawks and then lost to the rags and lost to the penguins they lost to the penguins on sunday the 25th uh seven to six because why should you play defense yeah and just oh they did just beat the lightning six to two six to two yeah but the lightning aren't as good as they have been in past years yeah so i think the flyers probably are first round exit but like the rebuild is way ahead of time it's just you know who knows uh my beloved boston bruins are beginning to choke uh as they do uh It's here a little early, but what are you going to do? I fucking hate the Bruins.

I fucking hate hockey. I fucking hate everything. The divisions here, we mentioned this, I think, an episode or two ago. No, NBA divisions. Yeah. There's no geographical sense to these. No, none of it makes any goddamn sense. You have the Atlantic Division, but then you have Ottawa

and Buffalo in it. Then you have Metropolitan, but then you have a team in fucking Carolina. Yep. And Columbus. That makes no fucking sense. Yep. Yep. Fuck you. Come on. Fuck you for believing things should make sense.

You suck. Make it geographically accurate. No, you suck. Yeah. Fuck that. your shit you suck make it geographically accurate no you suck yeah fuck that um and apparently the union launched their first match cool we do charlie did call in by the way so we'll have that um uh so so uh we have a our first bad take um which is from uh wayne sent it in um do you say is it jay billis or jay bylas uh i think it's bylas but uh i'm gonna go with billis because i assume that's wrong on purpose okay so um so there there was a you you were gonna you were gonna cover this one because you said you watched it, right? Yeah, one second. Yeah.

ESPN's Jay Biles on court storming. If they wanted to stop it, they could stop it tomorrow. You don't have to stop the court storming. One time, all you have to do is once you're on the court, just say you're all detained. Get in citations or arrest if you want to. And then court stormings will stop the next day. So you want to kettle college kids because they're excited about a game. I will say there are some safety concerns involved in court storming.

Basically, like a couple of players, Caitlin Clark, who's one of the most dominant women's basketball players ever. She's currently at Iowa. She's very fucking good at basketball. She just broke the women's scoring record, got kind of bumped and shoved. And Kyla Filipowski, I'm not totally sure I'm saying that right, plays for our hated Duke Blue Devils, also got kind of bumped around. My solution is easy. Wait till the players leave the top because there had been

someone has pointed out like field stormings in college football were sort of up this this year too and players and fans were like taunting players and it's like i don't know that i would taunt a 6'6 375 pound man who just lost the most important game of his life and i i believe that basically what they should do is like hey we're gonna allow court storming but you gotta wait till the opposing players are in the tunnel and if you don't you'll be you'll be permanently ejected uh i just i i don't know that like the hundred thousand dollar fine proposed is going to be enough or even really relevant. But yeah,

I think there's legitimate safety concerns, especially with how drunk these college kids can get at these games. What, college students drink? No. Yeah, I know. It's crazy how that works. But yeah, I just don't love the idea

of like, oh, I'm going to fucking do what they did to the protesters on 676 and just like kettle them and beat them. Yeah. Like the whole like I will have order in a sport that's inherently sort of like not based on that. Where the joy is not based on order. Yeah. on order yeah and yeah wayne said he apparently he's like no apparently wants to do what the or bill uh uh billis apparently wants to do what the nypd did to the occupy wall street protesters of the berkeley bridge yeah so where are you what they did on 676 you know um that

and there were some comments in the on the twitter it was from uh awful announcing uh which someone says uh yeah you could stop that's how they stopped underage drinking in colleges by handing out citations yeah which is that's a good point um there were 30 cops versus uh uh 8 000 drunk fans drunk college kids yeah who you got yeah yeah yeah you got. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you got. Especially if they're fake college cops. Right. When I was at Penn State, I remember

there was the fake student cops, which I don't think we had them at Temple. No, we didn't have them at Temple, but I know somebody who was a fake student cop at Penn State. Yeah, that was very cringy interacting with them. I imagine it was, yes.

Yeah, so you're not a real cop. No, but I can call them in on my radio. Wow. Wow. Do you feel big? Yeah. Is that wine in that cup? Yes.

I'm not telling you. You can't do shit about it. Yeah. Come back with a warrant, asshole. Did I ever say my whole story about how I outrun? I probably have. How I outrun the soccer player. Yes.

When we got our party busted. And the guy. All all right if the listeners haven't heard this one but i'm not gonna tell the whole story but but what i like is afterwards where they're like well your name was on the party list are you being there was like the the advisor from my dorm like are you being square with me son that you didn't drink that night i was like yeah i looked him right in the eyes i was like no i didn't have a drink i wasn't there i was there earlier while i was setting up for the party that's why my name was on the list but no i i don't drink sir and uh he's like all right i'll let you go and he tried to get me to come back

and like interrogate me again it's like what are you trying to do do you get paid like a 50 bucks stipend if we get sent to the alcohol diversion thing i got i got some trouble in college for uh torrent tech actually and uh and the guy was like well rules and i was like yeah unjust laws shouldn't be followed and he was like well the rules are rules and i was like yeah that that sounds i i i i i like i was 18 and i was just like oh that sounds very fascist of you. And he was like, well, I'll have you know I'm Jewish. I'm like, yeah, me too, asshole.

I can go toe for toe with you on this, you stupid fuck. He's like the head of discipline or whatever the fuck. He likes some boarding school now. The guy was such a prick. It tracks that type. I got my last three months at penn state i had my internet taken down to 56k um because i downloaded too many sim city 4 mods that's fucking funny so but you were allowed to use it at the computer lab

so i would go to the computer lab with my USB drive, download, you know, like eight gigabytes of SimCity 4 mods. It's just put it on my hard drive and there was no limit on the account there. Oh, that's magnificent. Yeah. I always I wasn't too far from it, but fuck you. Because that's what I was doing instead of going to class. Right. Was playing SimCity 4.

Not a bad life, man. You graduated eventually. Yeah, not from Penn State. All right. We're at 45. So we were asking Charlie to call back in. And guess what Charlie did? Call back in. He call back in. And guess what Charlie did? Call back in.

He called back in. Roll it. Yeah. Let's hear that beautiful Charlie voice. Hey, guys. Hey, Tom. Hey, Liam. Charlie.

He, him. Everything I said after you got knocked out was incorrect. They brought everybody back. They added only a couple of minor pieces, including the goalie that started last night's hole opener with scab refs and our racist left back starting after only getting two games suspension. He completed all the off-boarding, all the non-racist off-boarding he had to do on the off-season.

He's certified by the MLS, non-racist. We'll see if that holds. Union tied 2-2, had two goals called back, huge discovery, and looked a little out of it. Even coming off of the Triple C opener against Deportivo, Cipresa in San Jose in Costa Rica, winning that game 3-2 after Jacob Gleznis booted the ball in his own net to start the season off. Yeah, they'll get Deport Ortego again for the second leg,

up a goal with three road goals. Should get through, but who the hell knows. You know, fuck Don Garber. Keep the cup. Pay the refs. What the fuck are we doing? Later. Thanks. Thanks, Charlie. pay the refs. What the fuck are we doing? Later. Thanks, Charlie.

Pay the refs. Pay the refs. Pay the refs. Pay up, motherfucker. Yep. That's the best sign I've ever seen at any demo anywhere. It was just a sign that said

pay up, motherfuckers. Yep. The Players Union, I think, although technically solidarity strikes are illegal, They should have just went on strike Yeah So now you're not having a season until you pay the fucking refs You gotta live with them You gotta live without them

Just like our wives right You were already with that Well they wouldn't know because they don't listen to the podcast. Thank you. That was loud. That was very loud. The audience is now deaf. Hey, just like us.
