He is actually going to eject a fan. Because bad things happen in Philadelphia, bad things. Joy is to come to Philadelphia and stand here at Dodge Iceball. Tom Boy is head of says, like John Cooney. Okay, we're live. Is it going to work? I don't know. Can you hear me?

I can hear you. You know, it didn't do any weird shit this time, which is interesting. Because normally, my co-hosts is Liam. Yes. Usually torrenting while we record. That would make sense. He waits until we record to start his torrents. That's how much of disrespect he has for this podcast.

And it always starts. But there's a substitute, there's a substitute, there's a substitute, where she guest co-hosts today. Hello. Hello. So, yeah. You were asking me a question about,

about a game that you may have been heard of. Yeah. Workers and Resources, Soviet Republic. I saw in the secret discord that you managed to get a town up and running by 1926. And here I am in February 1932. And I'm only just getting the heating plant online. Oh, man. So I'm on the East Coast map.

So I'm bringing, imagine it's 1920s United States as the East Coast of the United States and communism has finally won. And for some reason, New England. England is NATO that doesn't exist yet. And so is Tennessee. But Virginia is not communist. It's communist. And so is like upstate New York. Like the southern tier went for the Reds.

The Finger Lakes have gone communist. Yeah, I'm on a Pittsburgh map where it seems that New York and Pennsylvania are communist. but Ohio and Maryland are in NATO. We really, this is, this is sort of prescient, us thinking about what states will be in the new common turn. Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. Yeah. If Tim Walts had balls, you would reinstitute the state militias. That would be a good start right about now.

You know, I, I do, you know, back, back during the campaign, I was like, you know, if only They let this guy off the chain. And it turns out, you know, there's a bit of timidity here. There's only so much you can get from like the nice history teacher guy. This is true. This is true. Yeah. See, I'm an asshole English teacher.

So that we're the ones who will, we're the ones who are the very nice face the wall. You're writing with shit. I've been able to tell people how shit their writing was. Oh, what? You're a teenager who's, oh, you've experienced love and loss at 16. Really? You have? Oh, this poem's ass. Try meter. You can't do any scantion to this fucking poem. It doesn't even rhyme. I asked you to write an ode, not rupee core or whatever how the fuck you pronounce her name. Anyway, but workers of resources are a Republican. So I settled on the East Coast map. Morrisville, New Jersey was going to be the labor camp where I was going to marshal the productive forces. And so I built a lot of, I figured out what shit needs to be built by the, the border warehouse.

Right. And so like, you got all these free construction camps and all these free distribution centers and shit. They're all mud. So I just like, everything's in the mud. Everything's dirty and filthy and gross. Oh, yeah. And that's where I. I am still.

I set up stockpiles of crucial resources a little further down where my town was, but you could do it right next to the depot. Well, that's the thing. I wonder how effective, like, the free stockpiles are now since the customs houses are no longer causing massive, you know, cues. It's efficient in the sense that you can have something bringing the resources to the stockpile because you get enough free distribution centers. You can kind of mix it up.

That's true. But that's the bottleneck now I'm at. So it's good at setting up your initial town. If I was to do it again, because then what I ended up doing is I ended up moving a lot of the stuff closer to closer. I moved it down to Route 202. Right. So I'm building a rail depot, actually right where Northlands is in real life. And that's my rail construction depot.

but that weird oval roundabout in Flamination. And moving it that, I've gotten most of it construct it, but moving it that far away from the border with Montville, New Jersey, was a mistake. And I should have built it all right next there. But I did get a town sub and you know what I did with the town? So here's, here was the trick I learned that I gleaned from, from Reddit was, look at the work hours needed to build something. And so you can throw up really shitty, like, not like Quonset huts, but like might as well be type of housing.

They're called like poor quality urban flats. So imagine this is like, okay, okay, comrades, we're here to be helping Americans rebuild communism. Let's build a cheap shit house. Yeah, you're going to, you're building a gulag. Yeah, we're building a gulag. Start out with gulag and then upgrade from there. Oh, I'll get to the gulag.

We have, we do have to, to take care of that. I haven't built a gulag yet. I'm not going to build a gulag because I'm not an asshole. Oh. Well, I'll build a prison camp. Yeah. Is that really, that's a gulag. What is a gulag really?

What really is a gulag? What's different between a gulag and a fucking, fucking prison camp in Louisiana? Yeah. I mean, I, I had this conversation with November a while back, you know, people calling a sea cot, a gulag, you know? And it's like, well, the difference is that a gulag you eventually got out. Yeah, that's true. And you usually were doing something productive while you were there.

Oh, yeah, that's true. Like extracting, I don't know, heavy metals without protective equipment. Yeah, exactly. All those guys in there must be gone insane. Just nothing to do. If only they had workers and resources of Socialist Republic, they might be able to sort of have entertainment but um

that's boo boo um the there was like one other point about the I was going to make um

yeah bill all small shit first just get a town about like 500 guys running up and then that could say that could be your free labor so you don't have to bring labor from from the border right yeah yeah so and build trains as fast as possible that's definitely something

I have noticed with the early start is yeah really really early trains are much much appreciated oh yeah it really i honestly honestly this game is quite educational in a way that city skylands is not and you actually have to think about infrastructure and planning like in distribution of goods but also like i can't just like oh i fucked up my water network i could oh i could just delete and build no i have to i have old water mains buries buries you to underground and disconnect it because it's not worth the trouble of me digging them up. Like, fuck it. Just leave it in the ground.

Just go around it. I'm going to have to say that's one of the things that's annoying me about this game. You know, they, they hot tapped 60 inch water main under Aramingo Avenue like in 2018 for the I-95 project. Yeah. I feel like you should be able to relocate a water main much more easily. Yes. than it is in this game. That and rewire your power and your grid.

Yeah, exactly. So now I'm learning I got to future proof everything. Like, oh, I'm going to, I might build another town down this road. I got to put in a switch. Yes. There's no reason for me not to. It doesn't cost that much more because if I want to change it, I'm going to have, be without water for like in game time.

like 10 days, even if I have a construction thing right next door. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And then everyone just dies. Yeah, everyone. Oh, I had about 2,000 people die one winter because I built outside the capacity of my eating plant by just a little bit. So, like, it was like 10 degrees Celsius.

People were dying at 10 degrees Celsius. Like, all right, it's cold, but it's not that cool. Yeah, exactly. Get a blanket. You can wear a blanket. You can wear, you know. But you know what? These are Americans and not

Hardened the Russian peasants. Yeah, exactly. That's why they voted out Jimmy Carter. One last thought to the belabor talking about this game is everyone leaves. Belabor and it's

yeah. Yeah, it's workers and resource. Yeah. Anyway. Have you gone to the Reddit? I have not really gone to the Reddit. I've gone to the Wiki a few times. Yeah.

The Reddit is like Hey, guys, check out, like, this gulag I made. Check out this, uh, this like horrible system I made. And it's like deliberately inefficient. It's like, hey, do you know, and you hope, by the way, buddy, your game's set in like, it's like 1970. You know the gulags weren't. They were all shut down. Yeah.

They were all shut down at that point. And, and you get, there's a lot of guys who are like, I like this game, but I'm going to be a fucking live about it. Yeah. And I, that was that, yeah, that was, yeah, 1960. you could like go buy like a washing machine and stuff. Come on. You know, that's why people get mad when they don't have electronics. I mean, my God, you know, can't, can't treat this like, uh, uh, yeah, like it's 1948 forever. Yeah. You don't, you don't, and also, you don't have a fifth column

really to worry about. We could talk about the, the moral ethical choices that, that the, uh, you know, the Pulp Bureau made, uh, in the run up the world. World War II, but the Soviet Union did not have a fifth column. Yes. Maybe we're a little overboard, but, you know, yeah. So I have finally, it has clicked, this game has clicked for me now, I think, in my mind. And I have played more hours this week than I have actually worked.

Yeah, yeah, I feel that. I'm a married man, too. So this is a little, and I took my wife, that tweet, Blue Sky I made, squeak, skeet I made was not a lie. I was like, hey, honey, come in here. Look at this. Look at what I made. I'm like, I'm genuinely excited about how much asphalt I'll be able to import because I

cannot wait to fucking pave some roads. Save these roads. I'm sick of fucking gravel. Remember we grow? because I had I had I've talked about it on this podcast the gravel road fucking fucked me up in Ireland

this summer with the with the oil pan so anyway so that's workers of resources Soviet Republic yes a game which apparently started out as a helicopter flight simulator level editor

interesting that's the game engine I didn't know that. Yeah, their only other game Three Division they made What was the other game projects? Air missions hind

So it started And if you look at the game You can The terrain is the same Like that would explain why there's so much Helicopters in the game Yeah Yeah

So that was like their previous Project before this They were a flight sim company and oh yeah the desert one is this the desert maps are the same as like the desert biomes the lc yeah i mean oh fuck it if it works yeah if it works you know i had i had you know i have an embarrassing number of hours in the game you know so yeah it's it's uh i don't know it tickles it tickles a certain a certain part of the brain i don't i don't get it but um some Some may call that a special thing known as being on the spectrum.

I don't know. Yes. Whether I am or not is irrelevant. Look, I was tested for it and I said, no, I just exhibit all the symptoms. I took a bunch of tests for it recently. And it was like, no, you don't have it. And I took the, they had a test. It was, are you good at masking?

And then the stuff it was asking me was like, oh, no, I don't do anything. I don't like imitate characters from TV shows to, like, be. how, like, and I know that there are people who do that. Like, that's how like, you know what? I'm going to be like James Bond because that's how I'm going to be like, handle this situation. Hey, fuck. If it works, it works.

Yep. So, uh, all right. Well, you're, you're, hello, welcome to another episode of 10,000 losses. The only Philadelphia of workers and resources of a republic podcast that exists. Yes. Yes. I'm your host Tom Paine. And with his my, oh, and my pronouns are he him.

And with who's my emergency. temporary special guest co-host? Hi, it's Justin Rosnack. My pronouns are he, him. I'm from, well, there's your problem. A podcast about engineering disasters with slides. I don't know how to introduce myself on a different podcast. Terrifying.

It's funny because I'm using your Zencaster and I have, have you noticed the Arabic name? Yes. Did you look it up? I haven't looked it up, no. It says Justin Basha. Oh, I see. I see. Yeah.

This reminds me of a theological conundrum I had recently. Go ahead. Okay. So, you know, one of the things that happens when you go from being heavy drinker to not so much is that you start getting horrific nightmares. Okay. So I'm in the horrific nightmare two days ago, right? I'm like completely lucid. All my mental faculties are there.

I'm like, I'm in the nightmare. I got to assess the situation. How do we get out of this? So like on one part of the nightmare is the nightmare. But I can see through the window. There's a bunch of guys in like Saudi get up with like some camels and like a caravan that says mecca or bust on it. Right. And I have to go out there and I was like, hey, you guys, you guys going.

on to Hajj, right? Like, I'm trying to get out of this nightmare situation. Can I come with you? And they were like, well, are you Muslim? And I, again, completely loose at all my mental faculties, unhesitatingly recited the shahada, right? I'm like, ah, shit, does this count? I might have to get my wife to help. This point.

Well, I don't know. Oh, my God. I'm going to actually text her right now. I'm going to text her and see what she says. We might need an in a mom for this one. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. She's no longer with this religion. So, all right. So, Ross says he recited to Shahada in a lucid dream. In a lucid dream, he was fully aware does this count? I mean, you're in the right part of Philly, man. You just walk out the door. You got a, you got your choice.

That's a good point. That's a good point, yeah. I would take this thing. I would go to, is Mankech still open? Uh, it did take to sovereignty. You know, I'm going to go to one with the best food. These Lebanese guys seem all right. Yeah.

Actually, we're Syrian, we're Syriac Christians. Ah, shit. There's me assuming again. Yeah. All right. I asked our wife. I'll see if she responds. No, that's it.

Mecca or bust. Yeah. Someone please. Mika, if you're listening, you're a very talented artist. Can you draw this? We'll throw some money your way. Ross with the camel's I like how they're in Saudi you get up to well yeah yeah I was like you know okay I guess your subconscious is you know not not woke enough unfortunately you know you have to

you have to maintain the woke consciously or else I did oh did you recite it in in Islam or in Islam. Wow. The language of Islam. No. It was in English. That's the episode of this. Wow. That's the name of this episode.

No. I was saying, did you restate in Arabic or in English? I got to find a picture real quick. Remember the Egyptian man that used to live in my basement? He is escaped. My wife says, unless you actually intend, it doesn't count. No, I wanted to get out of the nightmare situation. I was like, yeah, I got to go with these guys.

Yeah, you're just, I'll do whatever I have to. So I don't, so I don't think you're actually, uh, Raz Becher now. Um, uh, Rahmdae, uh, Ross has rejected Shirk. Um, I got to find this picture. Oh, here we go. I don't know if it'll show up on the, on the webcam. This is in Mecca. This is the Egyptian made in my basement. He's wearing my World Series shirt that he stole from me in Mecca.

And he's like, he's like, Tom, Tom, I go, they come up to me. They said, what is this? What is this? What is this? What is this thing? What is this thing? He tells us about it as a sports team. They're like, oh, very good.

So we got, let's get MBS on board. Yeah. Can he do any worse? They still haven't started a Saudi baseball league, so. Yes. Yet. Yes. That's going to be difficult if they play a game in Mecca.

It would be in some sort of controlled climate, the most sterile arena ever. Or it's like what? The, was it French special forces who converted and then deconverted afterwards? Oh, yes. Yeah. Yeah. there's a weird way where they can like you can get married then like have sex and then just get unmarried in like in like an hour that's how they get around prostitution I every religion

I love how they just get around their own that I do I do love a good uh ritual um evasion yeah my favorite is the the the banks in the Muslim countries they don't offer interest it's a fee that's a certain percentage of the of the the the principle that is distributed over a month, over every payment. But it's not, it's not interest. I like,

I like a roof and a roof is a fun one. That's that. That's the wire that goes around an area. Oh, so that it's considered a house in Judaism. Yes, I do. That is,

that is a good one. All right. So no get, I guess temporary guest co-host counts. Fuck you is also, I'm not saying fuck you. It's just on the out wide. So fuck you.

Patreon.com slash 10,000 losses where you can get access to every bonus episode and our Discord. which is full of, full of joyous memes and weird reactions. I had started a TV channel. Hey, let's talk about TV shows. I called it the JumboTron. That was a mistake. It is now only for Lyndon Baines Johnson memes.

So, all right. Sprots. Spraughts. So the sports. Yeah. So you were, you were too busy filming stock footage. So you didn't get to watch all of the Eagles game, which is actually sort of a mercy. Yeah, that seems to have, seems to have been the correct decision. You know, all I got was the score on my phone.

Because those people, those people don't watch sports. You know, it's one of the annoying things about my life is I frequently hang out with people who do not watch sports. That's something like when you, when you're. when you're on the left, the political left, and I have a lot of socialist, communist friends that are, oh, sports ball? You know, when someone says the word sports ball, I want to throw them in the fucking river. I know. There's some good friends of mine. Listener Patrick, actually, sometimes guests, Patrick, and I have a very good friend who has referred to it as sports ball.

And we've both looked at each other and be like, oh. It's okay to Lake Sports. You don't have to be weird about it, but it's okay to Lake Sports. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, you end up like not having, when you're in those circles and I'm like, yeah, the bird is scored and touch it, whatever. Like, no one gives you shit.

No one gives a shit, yeah. You know, I was always like that. You can hear that on the stream several times, actually. Did the stock at least turn out well? Yeah, the stock turned out pretty good. We've used it for a couple soups. The soup's been very good. Very good.

Every time we get like a rotissary chicken, we use the carcass to make stock. It's a good idea. Yeah. Put in the pressure cooker actually helps. Ooh, that's a good idea. Yeah. Also, you don't have to sit there stirring it so long. But you are limited by the capacity of the pressure cooker.

Yeah, this is true. I have a huge pressure cooker. One day when that thing pops, it's going to take down the bill. This is This is going to make the Boston Marathon Should I even finish that joke? I made up I had made a Boston Marathon joke

Once and I had someone actually Like, like, so you know I had a friend who was injured in that. I was like, oh, I really am a prick, aren't I? I'm sorry. I can't take that back. That makes it funnier. God damn it.

I don't think I've told this story of the pod. So before I became a teacher when I worked in a winery, this was about maybe six months after Kobe died. And a colleague, you know, balled up some paper and threw it in the, tried to throw it in the trash can and went Kobe. And he missed. And I went, helicopter. and he's like,

yo, dude, that's fucked up, man. His fucking kids died on that shit. That's fucked up, man. I really, you know, Kobe was a personal, like, I don't, like, sorry? I thought it was funny. I guess it wasn't him. I guess technically he wasn't flying the helicopter.

This is true. Yeah. I don't know. He made the decision to get on that helicopter, which is always a bad one. And he may have pressure. the pilot. We don't know.

Yeah, exactly. We, you know, people have to take some personal responsibility for helicopter accidents. Yeah. It's that, and that personal responsibility is never getting in one. It's much less likely for you to get in a helicopter accident if you don't get in the helicopter. Yeah. Just imagine you're on the boat at sea and the coast car comes to rescue you. And you're like, no, I don't get on helicopters.

Get the fucking grumming goose out. I ain't get on this shit. Yeah. Yeah. No, no, no. Unless you can land that C130J, I'm not getting on. Get them shit's landing on the ocean and I'll get on board. I'm not getting on that fucking dolphin.

Absolutely not. I might, dude, we might crash back in the ocean. I'm fucking right back where I started. It's to send a second helicopter. And that one crashes. It's a first one crashes. They have a safety line between the two. Oh, man.

Every time I think of a, you think of all the time that I spent volunteering with government agency redacted. That, that, uh, I would have a lot of respect for the crews that lift people up with the helicopter. And every time, every time I met one of the, one of the co-seys that did the, you know, they were the aerial, It was a helicopter mechanic or aerial. They had the rescue swimmers. I forget what the rate was called, but it's like the aviation mechanic. Right. And I was like, did you ever watch that video of them picking up that lady?

She just started spinning. Have you seen that video? I've seen that video, yeah. Yeah. Okay. This is like, holy shit. It's the funniest fucking thing. I feel so bad for the woman, but God damn is that funny.

That's really funny. Yeah. Actually, I should, I should, tomorrow, tomorrow's Friday. I like to show. Like, yeah, it's the last five minutes of class. We'll get through something stupid. There's a class I think that might like that video. They're the social pass.

Yeah. Oh. So, uh, sports. Sports. Yeah, the Eagles, um, like I said, they lost the 49ers. They banned. I'm, I, I wasn't upset. I was like, finally pain.

My pain is relieved earlier this time because I don't get to work on the Super Bowl. they sucked. But just sauceless play calling. Hey, it's third and eight. Hey, it's third and eight. And we got like, you know, it's the fourth quarter and we're down. What should we do?

Let's run a draw. Okay. Didn't we run a draw the last time we went for now? Yeah, but they won't expect us to do it again. That's just what they'll be. Not expecting us to do is the. same thing. Yeah. Let's do a, let's do like a shitty wide receiver screen. Let's do a shitty, like just four verts. Let's just do, let's just do the, let's do mad in play calling,

like when you're, when you're running behind and you just want money plays. And, uh, yeah, and, and AJ Brown, who, uh, Liam and I've talked about a lot on our pot about him and how why receivers are all insane. And we don't have an issue with him. being insane, but I do have an issue with him not catching the fucking ball. Yeah, I mean, that's the bad kind of insane right there. Yeah. Like, you could read whatever like we self-help shit on the sidelines. And that's great.

I don't know. It doesn't fucking bother me, but catch the football. Yeah. Catching the football is the most important part. I guess. And that book was called, what, inner excellence? train your mind for extraordinary performance. Hey, Jay, why don't you try outer excellence,

training your hands for extraordinary performance? I was about to say the self-help book doesn't seem to be working very well. No. Oh, it's also a Christian. I didn't know that. So I wonder if one of his other books is called The Best Possible Life.

Well, it helps if I'm a wide receiver for the NFL. Yeah. I can live a really good life. You're avoiding avoiding most of the CTE. Yeah, if I could do that. If I could do that. I could be a kicker.

I'd be set or a coach. That'd be pretty cool. But yeah, so coaches don't get too much CTE, right? No, unless they played before. Yeah, that's true. So AJ Brown and there was a press conference recently and I think it was like today. And he said you sort of,

Hallie Roseman was non-committal about A.J. Brown's future here. So, I wouldn't be surprised if they try to move him. And we also fired or demoted

Patulow? I saw that and I don't remember which one. It's, they removed him from his role as offensive, offensive coordinator. which is going to be weird for whoever takes over as offensive coordinator because you have

like that former one just floating around. It'd be like if you took me out of my classroom and then had me sub in my classroom as like a parrot. I'm going to have some thoughts. Yes. I, Siriani is friends with Patulow. And I've said this on,

on social media, but the Eagles are very quickly becoming a make-work program for Italian Americans. And, uh, yeah. Well, I got to have something after. Well, actually, they put the Columbus statue back up. Never mind. Oh, that's right. Yeah.

Yeah. The, because you have Siriani who doesn't do anything. He just yells, I guess, at players and talks. He's a vibes guy. He checks in with the boys, make sure there are. Right. Yeah. Kevin Patoole called the plays.

On an offense. You have big Dom on the sideline. Again, another Italian. Big Trump guy, too. Trump loves him. Naturally. We all know Trump loves big guys. Yes, this is true.

I'm waiting for the, I'm waiting for the Potsdam Giants Brigade. Like, I wonder if Trump actually asked for like the big secret service guys. Ah, good, good question. Yeah. I mean, I, now, now you got me thinking because he likes big guys. Mm-hmm. But he also likes Zoron, who's like not a big guy. But he's also like handsome and charismatic.

Yeah, that's true. I guarantee I could get Trump to like me. I believe like President Trump, listen. We might disagree on some things, but, you know, I think you have definitely a good, a good head around the media. You know how to talk. You're one of the best talkers I've ever heard. He's going to be. Actually, yeah.

He's going to be listening. Yeah. I actually have rehearses in my mind. What happens with my meeting with Trump? Listen, I'm not going to do an impression, but I am going to sort of like a little bit do the cadence, just a little. President Trump, I listen, I think that if you want the Democrats to never be popular again, you do the student loans. You get rid of them. They go away.

All the millennials will say, wow, President Trump, you're one of the best presidents we've ever had. Third term, instantly. The third term, not an issue. Gavin Newsome goes into garbage where you believe. lungs and they won't know they'll say they'll say Gavin we don't want you we don't have we have gruesome newsom gruesome newsom you're fired uh listen let's do a thing let's do a thing about the listen the college professors they're too woke they're too woke but if we made the college free, maybe everyone would go, and it wouldn't be so woke anymore. I think I could get,

I think I could get him to do student loan debt. Forgive this. I think I could get him to. Listen, they would, everyone would be talking about, they say, listen, President Trump, I didn't agree about ICE. I didn't agree about the alligator Alcatraz, but I didn't agree about the student loans, and I'm going to vote for him. Yeah, we could probably get like 10 or 12 guys in the right position and flatter this guy into doing social democracy. I mean, yeah, yeah, you just got here. You just got here rid of Stephen Miller. Exactly. Yeah.

Just get, you're going to let this guy tell you what to do? Listen, you're going to let this guy tell you what to do. He's going to tell you about Greenland and all these stuff. Look at them. Look at them. He looks like a reptile. I'm not saying that.

I'm not being anti-Semitic. As we said in previous, you can listen to the episode of my podcast. I say, I fuck with the Jews. My coach. No, Stephen Miller is very ugly. I mean, he's ugly. He's ugly guy. Yeah, an unpleasant-looking person.

He's an unpleasant demeanor. He's always got the sky. He always looks he's trying to look hard. You know? Yeah. He's trying to do that. Yeah. For those of you who are not looking at the screen, Tom just did a Stephen Miller face.

I did Stephen Miller face. It looked just like him. I kind of did like that signature look of superiority of me with Count Duku. That's sort of what I was doing. Yeah. think, I think, I think really we should as a nation find a dumb guy like that. Because Trump is really like another harding, if you think about it. And the dumb guy with a lot of guys around them.

Yes. So let's let's get, let's get like a dumb guy that we can all be like behind. And just who speaks well. And it has like uncanny like ability to, to figure out what's going to play in the media. And because there is an alternate universe where Donald Trump is a fucking socialist. Yeah, I mean, there's

definitely, when he ran on reform or whatever, it was universal health care and everything. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, someone like that just wants to be loved because he's never felt loved in his life. So we could, let's

funny. All right. Call in. Call in. Do you have a candidate, 267, 37, 3717. a 218. I just know who we should be stuff in the ballot. Getting them on the on the ballot for a,

we'll start with governor. That's right, folks. We're going to, we're going to try and send John Fetterman to therapy. Oh my God. Do you think he's going to be the guy? We can't, we can't.

Because he's two, I listen to, I don't listen to the chat about as much anymore, but I listen to the episode where they read his like autobiography. I think he's too far gone. He's too, he's sad. Yeah. He's too sad. We need an oaf.

We need that lovable oaf. That's that, but that we can manipulate, not one that's smart. Yeah. Yeah. Need someone who's stepped on a rake, slipped on a banana peel,

falling down a well. Yeah. I just rewatched the John boys slipped on a banana peel video a few days ago. So fresh in my mind. Yeah. If you've ever. gotten your hand stuck in a pickle jar.

If you've ever had your pants pulled down in public and you were wearing white underwear with red hearts on it, you know. Have you ever stuck your head through a railing and got stuck? There's a couple of these. Please, we need you to run for president of the United States so that we can, we can, we can be the power behind the throne. and but we do good stuff. Yes.

Mostly. Little bit of evil stuff. They're telling me folks, they're telling me that, I don't know why he's going to have Trump cadence too, but they're telling me folks, they're going to build the buildings, they're going to build them taller around the trains. The bigger the trains, the bigger the buildings.

That's what they say. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah, let's get the, let's let's get some fucking urbanism in there. I don't even know what the proper term is anymore. I can't figure it out anymore either because now like urbanism is shit like I don't know they're going to demolish a bunch of market east and replace it with nothing you know and this is urbanism somehow but but razz if it only adopted georgism none of this would happen hmm that's why

yeah Harrisburg Pennsylvania is god's planned paradise isn't it a georgist a georgist town still in Delaware or a former tourist. There's a Georgia's settlement near Claymont. And it's all single family homes. But the land value tax. No, single family homes still. Yeah.

Well, it's also in Delaware. So. Yeah, this is true. You don't have to worry too much about that. Sorry to our friends down slower, lower.

You should have stayed with Pennsylvania. Actually, it would have helped balance us a little bit, I think. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. We could have used that. Then we wouldn't have the only circular border in the United States. That's true.

The total circle is really cool. Going back to what we talked about the beginning of the pod, about states forming blocks. Yes. I definitely think if we had a new, like a Northeast Commonwealth, I wonder if all of Pennsylvania would join. I've heard. You know, obviously what do you wind up doing is you expand upon an existing interstate compact, you know, sort of how the European coal and steel community became the European Union. That's true. Yeah.

So what do we, do we have one up here? Do we have? We just, I think we just pulled out of some kind of clean power alliance. Oh. Yeah. Listen, I'm announcing it, folks, the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission. is forming a sovereign state. Yeah, you just merge.

You merge every port authority from Baltimore to, to like, Portland, Maine. And, uh, yes. Yeah, I'm running for Port Authority Congress. Yeah. I'm running for Port Authority Commissioner, the highest office in the land. Yeah, wow. It's like, it's so prestigious. I can't wait for like the fights between like the Delaware River Port Authority than the Delaware River and Bay Authority.

They're going to have a civil war over Vindland, New Jersey. Exactly. Oh, there's also that I'm looking them up. Delaware River Basing Commission. Hmm. I bet you these organizations can't be worse. Some of them are good. Some of them have to be one run.

I do know, I do have, I did know, I knew some people on the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation. That was a shit show back in the day. I could see that. Yeah. I guess I saw Interstate really, though. Well, I get, uh, um, yeah, I don't know. Port Authority in New York and New Jersey winds up dominating. That's the problem.

Yeah. I do, yeah, yeah, we do that. And they're going to ignore Pennsylvania. Allegheny County Port Authority. We have three rivers. Yes. You use them all. What do they have in Erie?

Yeah. Erie just becomes a like a bridgehead for Canada, I think, at that point. I guess so. Yeah. Yeah, we got an annex Toronto. I'm down with that. actually other way around let's have Toronto maybe we get annexed by Canada yeah actually that that's a good scenario that's like um the the Kaiser Reichman for hearts of iron four I don't know if you've

played it or played it recently I have not no it has changed a lot since I played it back during the pandemic and now when if there's a if there is a civil war in the United States Canada immediately intervenes essentially. And so they just like, yeah, we're going to fucking take New England. Without firing a fucking shot, which I don't think would happen. New Hampshire is rightfully Quebecois soil. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, the Aristook County War II.

Yeah. We're bringing it back. We're changing the border of Maine, folks. All right. Speaking of New England, Ranger Suarez, signed with the Red Sox. years. Oh. Yeah.

Are you hearing this for the first time? No, I, I'm just, I don't, I don't know who he is. I thought you watched the baseball. No, I, I, I, not, not well, not enough, apparently. Okay. Yeah, he was, he was one of our best pitchers last year. Ah, okay. He's been, he's been a solid, uh, in and out of the bullpen guy for us.

I think he's played his entire career for the Phillies up until now. And, yeah, we lost them. I don't know where, what we're going to do to replace them. But it's a wish him best of luck. At least he's not on the fucking Mets. This is true. Yeah. They're going to.

I, it's whatever. My second loyalty is to the socks. So, you know, I bet. Well, you know, hey, listen, they might have the best starting rotation of baseball next year. Oh, yeah. because of his name Chamanea

and there's the other guy they have to I can't remember his hair crochet Sunny Gray no not Sean Minaya he's not I'm a moron yeah so our pitching staff right now is like Sanchez Luzardo Nola Painter who knows if he's gonna be good

isn't Zach Wheeler coming back from his shoulder surgery who knows then we got Taiwan Walker he can also be a starter if we need them to they're still talking about Bo Bichet signing with the The Phillies are definitely pursuing Bob Bichette We would have

sort of an excess of infielders who aren't very good fielders But he hits ball hard so I guess that's all the matters And Don Mattingly The former The former Yankee Is a bench coast now for the for the Phillies Do you remember the Simpsons episode with the softball?

Crap, probably I would need to be reminded. What I'm getting from this is I need to watch more baseball this year because I feel like an idiot right now. It's all right. So if anyone listening has never watched the episode, it's probably my favorite episode of Simpsons. it's there's a softball league like between the different like power plants and the Springfield power plant has one and so in order to win Mr. Burns pays for actual MLB players to be on his team but all sorts of horrible fates befall the players so like um what Ken Griffey Jr. falls into like a mystery hole um and it goes into inter dimension um there's a

whole sort of other thing. So, so Don Maddingling, his thing is he gets asked to shave his mustache by Mr. Burns. And then he shaves his mustache. Although he asked him to trim his sideburns and he has no siburns. So he just like keep shaving his head. And he's like, you know, Maddie Lear, I told you to shave your sideburns. And he, obviously, you're off the team. And he's got. no hair. Wow. Yeah, it's very, it's very, it's very, it's very funny. Watch, shout, I had it, I had actually an album, a CD, a CD album of Simpsons music, like from the show. Right. And there is a, uh, instead of talking baseball, it's like, we're talking softball. That was on there. And so now I have, um, that song Lodge in my memory alongside a bunch of the like the Mr.

Power, the Mr. Power, not Mr. Plow. Mr. Plow. And the, uh, that's my name. That's my name again is Mr. Plow. Now I, that. The Japanese, um, Mr. Sparkle.

We will banish dust to the land of winding ghosts. Um, all right. Now we're just becoming Simpsons, guys. Yeah, exactly. That, that is, that is another just fucking banger episode. when they go to Japan. That is Australia. I think top three.

Softball, Japan, Australia. Mr. Plow up there. My favorite has always been, you only move twice. Is that which one? Is that the, oh, that's Hank Scorpio, right? Hank Scorpio, yeah.

Yes, yes, yes. That'll be number five, then. That's up there. Australia episode. Bring this old away to the pro minister. Hey, bride minister. And he's in a fucking inner tube drinking a beer. Wait, there's no one listening at this point.

Temple's Men's basketball, because I don't fucking want to talk about the Sixers of Flyers. They're fine. They're fine. They're great. They're okay. They're doing okay. I haven't watched either of them this year. I haven't watched the Sixers game in a while. I probably should start watching because Vijay Epcon is very good.

but Temple's Men Basketball we were astonished last week they were at the top of the American Athletic Conference that is no longer true we lost to Memphis barely by three points that was a tough game but we managed to manage to pull off

the loss managed to pull off the loss and but no it's so good and oh I sent this to the the college football boys group chat but let me let me show you this image are you aware of Penn State's tendency to recruit the same white guy as quarterback?

No. All right. Hold on. Let me. So they all, they're all the same guy. They're all the same guy. They're all the same guy. Christian Havkenberg, Drew Aller.

They're all the same. They're all the same white guy. And so Temple recruited one of their quarterbacks in the transfer port. rule. Okay. So I'm pulling up my links so that you can just see the pictures. All right. And so here's, here's Christian Hackenberg. Link sent. You can see what he looks like. And then now is their current quarterback, Drew Aller. Also looks, he's pretty much the same guy. And then the last link is the one that we poached, temple poached from Penn State. Yes.

They're the same guy. They're the same guy. Jackson Smollick, yeah. The same way. Can you get like, I know your team colors are white and blue, but the white guy doesn't actually have to be the same color as the white one in the jersey. And I say this as a very pale white man. I, there does need to be more variety in quarterbacks in general.

I had this thought yesterday. I was talking to June. I don't remember how we got to this riff exactly, but what would have. saved University of the Arts was if they had a football program. You know, and like, yeah, the quarterback is a ballet major. He's never been tackled. Hey, fuck it. Why not?

Yeah, exactly. Exactly. You know, pick, pick from some unusual pools of talent, you know. That might be a good, like, let's, let's, let's work on a script for that. That might be a good, uh, let's start a pilot. Yeah. We're going to front, we're doing a football team.

Wealthy donor comes into liberal arts college and starts an athletics program. Yes. And yeah, we'll have the ballet guy, ballet guy as a quarterback. Fuck it. We'll even, we'll have,

we'll have some women on the team too. Why not? Oh, yeah. And, but you got to have like, the out of place, like athlete who gets recruited.

Oh, yeah. Like, there's like one regular athlete. You have like, everyone's like, like, an artist and he's like, they're all like out on a frolic and thinking about like their muse. And then you have like just a six foot seven, three hundred pound linemen from Iowa. Because he signed like the wrong paperwork. And you just have one giant left tackle.

and yeah it's it's what the what fucking division three league this is um but they're playing all the other like arts colleges yeah yeah yeah and so he's just over there and he's just getting unnecessary roughness penalties but he's actually not he's just blocking normally yeah and uh yeah that that I think we got something there. I think we got, yeah, I think this is, uh, this is going to be our big break. Yeah. You got to go to Hollywood with this one.

We will sue the shit out of you. And I know who all you are. This is, this is, um, oh yeah, we need Liam, Liam for this to help, uh, build flesh this out this one of these characters. But, uh, actually we're going to have to leave this idea. Oh, yeah, that's true. Yeah. Um, what this is, this is universe, you know, this is the arts college of Philadelphia.

I thought I was, I don't know, what's it? I thought this was Louisville. Like some absolute like, how did you get confused? And he's in class. He's like, he got, he got, he got Pennsylvania and Philadelphia mixed up. Yes, yes. Thought he was going to Penn State. He thought he was going to Penn State, yeah.

And so he's in like drawing class. And he's just got like, like, like, a giant pencil. Like, you know how they have like the triangle erased holders on the pencil? Yes.

Because he's so clumsy with his hands that he needs like a special pencil to write with. And he's drawing. And like you pan so here's the scene like you have like they're drawing a nude right?

Yeah, yeah, I was immediately thinking, yeah, this is the uncomfortable drawing the nude model scene. And there's, there's,

there, oh, you pan to all the other students and they're actually drawing really well and he's just got like huge tints. A stick figure with huge boobs. The teacher has

to come over and be like, hmm, that's interesting that you decided to go the more, you know, the less realistic route. It's almost like I have the impression of her breast in my mind's eye before I ever really saw it. So they're like, oh my God, this guy's an amazing artist. He's like so, so

good. He's the next fucking Van Gogh. And I don't know, man. Like, it's from Iowa. Like, I don't know. I just like to, I like to play football. Yeah. Coach, can you give me the playbook?

We were hoping that you brought one from. The playbook is like some kind of, um, uh, um, uh, like abstract, uh, piece of art. You know, it's... It's... Why are the X's and O's wilting? Well, it represents that after we...

We pull the trap, you know, the enemy wilts away. And the play names are all like, water lilies, sunflowers. It's all just painting names. Yes. Or ballet. This one's cool.

called um uh oh god we need a writer's room yeah or you got like you get like names of like this one is like there's a music student and all right i'm calling the play uh devorak right for excuse me excuse me did you mean divorcec i guess i did sorry very like very particular you get the you get the play names wrong I think we got some. This is a, this will be coming to Quibi. The, the Tobe.

The guy from Iowa has to teach all the artists how to party hard. Yes. Yeah. All right. This is a beer. And what you do, you want to drink the beer. You open it and then you put the key in and you drink it this way. Yeah.

Someone, someone tries to do it. Someone tries to like shotgun it with a paint brush and it shatters. He brings hot dogs and they're, like it's like the first time half of them have eaten meat. But but they do all. Is this some kind of unslice charcutory? Yeah.

Like, yeah, we're having it. We're having a, yeah, guys, bring, bring your favorite foods to the cookout. Like, I'm going to throw on the grill. Like, guys, I'm going to show you how we do it. We do it out in the Midwest, right? We're just, we're going to get some steaks. We're just got to have a good time, right? We got build teamwork.

He's trying to, he's trying to be a team leader, right? he realizes that, you know, these guys look up to him. And everyone, yeah, they bring like, well, I brought a, you know, a cute prosciutto ham. Yeah. You put that on the grill. There's like a culinary arts student who's out there with like one of these, one of these like modernist cuisine foam things on like the tiny, yeah, feed foam on a tiny plate. And he's like eating and it's like, like, it fits in like the, the. crook of his hand.

Like, it's like, oh. I'm miming, eating. Yeah. So fucking dumb. I mean, I've never written a script, but why don't... First time for everything, right? This will run in parallel with the building show.

From the director, Justin Razniak. Look, as long as I get executive producer, credits. Well, I guess I'll be a writer on it, too. Pop me in the back. I could be like an exasperated teacher. The literature teacher. Yes. Doing like really high level literary criticism or something. Yeah.

They're like, I don't know what they do in the academy anymore. Yeah. Yeah. I used to be. I took on $125,000 in debt. And now I got this fucking brute in here. hunting and pecking on the keyboard in class trying to write me poetry just jaded by it he's in a gender studies class and is surprisingly woke yeah that's I know I'm not going to have him be like a real right winger

People are going to have to write in. Yeah, write in. Call in. 267, 371717, 218. Let us know what we should call this show. Yeah. And if you steal this, I swear to fucking God. I will sue.

I've never sued anybody. I will sue you. We will burn down the Netflix offices. Yes. This is intellectual prop. You imagine how nice it would be to get like, I don't give a shit if this goes 10 episodes and gets canceled. I want that money. You want the next Netflix deal, yeah.

Yeah, then I can put it on my resume. We're going to have to give June some credit. I think she came up with the idea. Oh, yes, that's right. We'll give you an executive producer credit. Boom. All right. Everyone's happy.

Yeah, we're all satisfied there. All right. Let's get to some listener messages. I got a shitload of DMs. Last episode, I apologize to people in the Discord. when I was setting up the last episode, I completely forgot to check the channel I set up in our Discord for listener messages. I was like, why don't we have enough?

Oh, shit. So, yeah. Didn't look for them. Didn't look for them. So I'm sorry. Let's listen to it. So our, well, I got to read them all. First is from Rochene, regular contributor, Rochene.

Hey, Tom, yay, Liam, not Liam today. Cavs are still mediocre. Brown shit-can head coach, Kevin Stefanski, after a five to 12 season, despite it being ownership's fault, not his. it's that the Browns continue to suck shit. The Jimmy Dome funding fight has now made its way to the Sixth Circuit, which has been asked by a legal team to stop funds until a ruling is issued one way or another as to the unconstitutionality of the unclaimed funds usage.

Are you familiar with this? I have not familiar with this at all. So the Browns want to build a new stadium with taxpayer money. And one of the things Ohio said is, well, we'll use the unclaimed funds to pay for the stadium. Oh, like, naturally. Naturally.

The Guardians avoided arbitration with Stephen Kwan, reaching a $7.75 million deal for this year. They still have yet to extend them or do anything to add it all to the major league offensive talent to the roster. Go guards, go calves, go birds, fuck Jimmy Haslum, fuck Paul Dolan, fuck John Rocker, fuck the 49ers, fuck Ohio State, fuck Penn State, fuck ICE and death to America. Excellent. Would you like to read the next one?

From Wayne. Hey Tom, Yay Liam. Update from the voicemail, 48 hours after the old firm derby and my voice veil. Celtic have fired Wilfried Nancy and director of football operations, Paul Tisdale.

The club have brought back Martin O'Neill as manager until the end of the season. Unfortunately, the club now has a whole other scandal as they're attempting to purchase Jocelyn Tabee from Maccabee Natania, a side in Israel's top tier. Fans are calling for the deal to be canceled in solidarity with Palestinians. Bohemians are now prepping for the 26 League of Ireland season, which they'll kick off at Aviva Stadium again, this time against St. Patrick's Athletic. They just completed a loan deal with whole city for Harry Vaughn,

who has played for the Republic of Ireland's U-21s. That's 19 more than U2. Yes. Yes. This season will also mark their last season at Dalliemont Park prior to some dramatic renovations, basically a complete rebuild of the stadium. hope everything's holding tight with everything going on these days.

Fuck ice, fuck Penn State and free Palestine. Yeah. Wayne, I met Wayne last week. He got a IRA, a communist IRA calendar from the Manchester Connolly Association for me. And all the images.

So I'll try and show you. You can't see it there, but it says loose talk costs lives. in taxis on the phone, in clubs and bars, at football matches, at home with friends, anywhere. Whatever you say, say nothing, which is good advice. That's always a good idea. It is always shut the fuck up Friday.

Yeah, absolutely just shut the fuck up. You don't actually talk about anything. Just don't talk ever. Definitely don't have a podcast. No. Take a vow of silence. Do you ever think that you're like, and I'm going to include myself with this,

even though it's like D tier podcast, but, um, we're probably on like the actual like, hey, Stephen Miller's like dream list. Good question. Like, like maybe eight tiers down. You know what the problem is is that I don't think they have enough time to go through all the podcasts. That's true. Well, we, we had, um, a day last year where we had like, uh, 10,000 downloads in one day,

which is like, 10 times. That's a lot, yeah. A normal amount over like a week. And I was like, shit, did they go through and just combing through every single? Like, are they doing the transcript and just getting all of our, like the shit that we've said? There's so many in jokes. They just get confused.

Yeah. I mean, that's ultimately going to be the problem is it's like, okay, we're going to find something in this several months worth of audio to get them on. Yeah. You can't even just assign that to an intern. It'll take too long. Yeah. Well, the intern becomes sympathetic.

Yeah, exactly. We convert the intern to the cause. Yeah, they recite the shot. Yeah. In their, in their waking moments. All right. Next, next DM, because I'm starting to get hungry. Hello, Tom and Yeh, Liam.

Charlie from Roxborough, he, him. please forgive the engagement bait question. I figure that Tom is going to have to remove all the actionable threats to name people in groups for this episode. That was last week. I had to edit a lot. Hey, what kind of fry shoe string, crinkle,

curly, etc. is the best and which is the worst. Anyway, fuck Penn State. Fuck the losers at Ohio. Fuck. Fuck ice in Viva Bolivian Republic of Venezuela. So I am, I like most fries.

I don't like crinkle cut fries. Oh, really? Yeah. I like curly fries. I like the fries with a bit more seasoning on them usually. Sure. I like a good crinkle fry. I like a waffle fry.

Waffle fries are good, yeah. I like a curly fry. Shoe string I also fuck with. I'm not a big fan of the big steak fries. Yeah, no, that's have to be, you have to do them really well for them to be good. Yeah. Too often are they just mediocre. But yeah, I like typically a smaller.

And I like a, I actually like a fry that was well crispy, but has then sogged a little bit in the package. I kind of like that a little bit. Yeah, I kind of like that too. Sometimes it's a little burnt in a little spot, you know. Yeah, yeah, I kind of like that. I like a shoe string definitely good for that one. Our home fry is a type of French fry. I guess they're not deep fried, so maybe not.

Hmm. Well, I was in, over the winter holidays, I was in Belgium and the Netherlands. Right. And they were very emphatic that they're not French fries. No, they're chips, right? Well, they claim, the Belgians claim that they invented them. I see. And the worst, they were Flemish.

Hmm. Yes. So they claim ownership of the French fry, the frit, I guess. The frit, yes. That's the word I was looking for. Yeah. But I was not impressed with the fritts I had there. Yeah, I had some in the Netherlands, but I had them, I think, with the wrong topping because it was just mayonnaise.

It probably should have been more. So we went to, I will say, actually. I just remembered. I had really good fries at this one place and I'm not going to be I can remember it from looking at the map. I have this weird geographic memory. It wasn't far from the Frank

Frank Ann. Frank Ann. Frank Ann. Frank Ann. The Lisa Frank house. Yeah. It was in the Yordan. And anyway, there's this like fry place in the Yordan and

that was really fucking good. Let me see. The area I was like that. I think it was it, was it, Fritz, Huiz, Hoos? Yes, Fritiushus,

Versa Flamsa Frit. Fucking fake-ass language. It was on Pallas Street, and they had a, was that, is it that? Looks like it. Could be wrong. but they

had a curry mayo and I'm not a mayo guy and I enjoyed it no it wasn't the curry mayo seems like the way to go yeah absolutely yeah the Belgian cafe and monks have

the more I was expecting that I was expecting more of the shoe string type and they were definitely thicker but this place was good and why can I not find weren't we weren't by the palace. Yeah, I'm just going to look up this for the rest of a

episode. No, I'll have to find it. If I find it, I'll put it in the show notes. Watch, it ends up there like all fucking chuds. Oh, yeah. All right, we got another DM. This time from Claire. You want to read this one? Yes. It's cricket related. Hey, Tom. Yay, Liam.

Claire, she, her with a final cricket update for this Ashes series. The fifth at final match ran a full five days on a very badder friendly pitch. England won the coin toss yet again. The first innings ended with England at 384 runs and Australia at 567. These are high scoring games. Yes. And the games last like three days.

England nearly lost in their second innings, except that their youngest player batted 155 runs his first century ever in first class cricket. His parents were even in the stands. Without those runs, they would have had a lead of four. Australia then, unsurprisingly, managed to chase down the needed 160 runs before T on the final day, winning by five wickets. This closes out of four to one series England went into thinking they were facing the worst Australian team in a decade.

I will now only think about cricket once every few months until summer 2027 when they do this again in England. Fuck ice, fuck England, fuck Penn State and fuck ice again. Are the guys on the English team that bad? Are they all like, are we? I can't even tell. Yeah. I think if you understand cricket, they black bag you here in the United States. I ran into

I've said this before the pot I ran into a bunch of guys at a park near me it was eight in the morning and all but one were gentlemen of South Asian persuasion and they were fucking

smacking the shit at that ball I'm running back and forth real fast I was almost like I don't want to gawk but part of me went to be like I'm just going to sit here and watch this maybe they'll let me swing the bat or the stick or whatever what do they call it the

Cricket bat? It's a bat, yeah. It's a cricket wobbly, you know, some weird fucking a pal. I'm sure they call it something weirder in Australia. It's a batterini? A battery boo. Yeah. Oh, you score 14 wickeridinis?

Yeah. I don't know. But we got our last DM. Charlie. Hello, Tom and Yee Liam. No, Liam. Charlie from Roxborough, he, him with the F.A. Cup, fourth round madness, started with St. Joe's preps, Rob Max, Rexum, upsetting Premier League, Nottnum Forest on penalties after three all tied up on Friday. Saturday morning with top flight clash between Everton and Sunderland, Everton's first ever FAC match,

FAA Cup match in their new stadium ends in defeat also in penalties with Sunderland advancing three nothing in the shootout. also in the same time cup holders Crystal Palace. And I said this before and I'll say it again. You can't use the name Crystal Palace unless you rebuild the Crystal Palace. Yeah, I got to put it back up. Yeah, I agree with you on that one. Play in it. Yes.

Oh, that'd be cool. I don't know how you let a glass building burn down. It is surprising that it happened. Yeah. Yes. Lost in Tier 6 and Phoenix Club McElfield FC. 2 to 1. The first time in 120 years that the defending champs knocked out by a non-league side. That's kind of cool. Man City with full Indiana on Exeter City, 10 goals to 1. Newcastle United

beat Bournemouth on penalties after trading goals in late an extra time. Also, Burton Albion beat Bournemouths 5-0, which are two very real teams. And last and certainly not least, former union back and current racist, Kai Wagner, got the opening goal in the 3-2 win for Birmingham City over Cambridge United. And I forgot in another real match, Grimsby Town beat Weston

Super, is that Super Marre or Super Mario? Super Mario. Yeah. It's a big, Western and Super Mario. It beat us three to the two. Jumped to two fast. the players had the Canuki Mario

Fuck it's not fair Hopefully Tom through all those British place Oh hopefully Tom went through all those British place names Yes because if Liam had read it Very confusing Yeah it'd be Birmingham City and Cambridge United

Westin Super Mayor I don't fucking know I'm just turns into my Liam's dad impression. Yes, exactly. That was definitely Liam's dad, not Liam. I don't know. Some point in the future,

some point in the future, Liam becomes Liam's dad. Oh, it's going to happen. Yeah. I hope I don't become my dad, but which is dead at 502 or something like that. That was, when I first met you and Liam,

that was the joke I made. What? Do you remember that? I said, when I was a kid, my dad took me to see Airbud. He's like,

I bet you that dog's probably dead by now. Jokes on my dad because he's dead. You're going to work that into my, you know, my tight five for my open mic.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. As always, fuck Penn State, fuck Ohio State, fuck ice. And actually that reminds me,

um, our, our, our college football, uh, Natty is going to be, which, when is it?

That's this weekend? Um, Did this weekend or next weekend? It's this weekend. It's the 19th. It's Monday. The number 10 Miami Hurricanes at the Indiana Hoosiers. So at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

So Miami is away at their home stadium, essentially. Wow. Yeah. So I think Miami's probably going to have that as an advantage. But Indiana has been insanely good. So we'll see what happens I'm sort of rooting for Indiana But yeah

Let's see what happens All right I have Fully revamped Not revamped Actually went through And made sure everyone

Who was getting shouts out In the North Catholic Tier patrons Is actually a North Catholic tier patron Uh So we hit a couple We're not gonna I'm not gonna call anybody out

So shats out to our North Catholic tier patrons. Patrick, Sean, Kat, Mike, Charlie, Kyle, Wayne, Sam, and Claire. No new 700-level patrons. I'm going to actually change it. We're going to just say all the 700-level patron names as we go forward. So I'm going to start fucking doing that. Voice mails, 267, 371, 7-218. Give us your name and pronouns.

DM and follow us. Well, I'm at Tom Paine on Blue Sky. What are you, Russ? What am I? You do not eat? I do not eat yet. Yeah. And the problem with your podcast is there's W.T.Y. P-Pod at.

And then there's also Liam who is WTYP pod. Yes. Which is not confusing. Oh, and speaking of confusing things on, on, on, blue sky, shouts out. I think it's incredibly funny. I don't know if he listens to this podcast. there's a guy goes by

where it's his account name hold on uh sorry garlic buffalo at gobirds dot biz at blue sky

also known as pork cheese broccoli rob he stole my he literally stole the exact logo my anti anti

anti chop action fillies profile picture he actually stole it from me and I can tell because there was a little fucking mistake I made when I edited it in paint dot net and didn't fix it. He has the same mistake so I could tell. I put that trap in there and see you didn't want to stole it.

And you stole it and he put Franklin on it instead from the Sixers. So it's been very confusing but I think it's hilarious. Don't change it. I want, because I'm opening up my feed and saying, well, when the fuck did I tweet this? Oh, wait. It's not me. So, yeah, do that.

that, let me go back to our outline. Where can they follow you, Ross? They can follow me on Blue Sky. They can follow me on X, the Everything app. Those are the two places. You can find everything on there every now. Apparently, yeah. I only check it once a week when I edit the pod.

That's it. Also on you have, you're fairly well-known on the YouTube's. Yeah, yeah. we have well there's your problem podcast a podcast about engineering disasters with slides with Liam and November yeah and Victoria as to say you have a temporary guest co-host yeah um the fourth the fourth mic I do appreciate the the the welfare system of of WTP knowing that if I do get shit can't Liam has actually promise he's like all right yeah fucking well you'll just have like all of your unemployed friends on the podcast

I guess at some point. Right, exactly. Yeah. So there are also a bunch of episodes. I think there's like three bonuses you've been on. And you can go to patreon.com slash 10,000 losses and you can go listen to them. One of them might be in the regular feed. I think it was the Dick Boofing episode, which was one of the funniest.

Funniest episodes, I think we've recorded us up there to the top, like, five, I think. I think we were talking about pouring alcohol down your urethro to get drunk. We always go down a weird rabbit hole. Oh, yes. When we have you one, not a nickel rabbit hole. No, that would be bad. I don't like that. Yeah.

I'm going to go ask Deepseek how to write a script. Could you write me a script about this? Sure, I can write you script. But make sure you imbue it with, socialism with Chinese characteristics throughout. Obviously. There are people, we're anti-AI, obviously, but there are people who have gotten Deepseek,

if you have it translate Chinese sources, will actually give you like, here's how Americans can build communism in the United States. Using Chinese sources only, tell me this. And it'll actually give you like real politics. Nice. Instead of being like a normal like, oh, that's a great question. You're a visionary.

No one else has ever thought about this like you. Also, you can go, that Patreon gives you access to the 10,000 losses Discord where you can go post your favorite rare LBJs in the Jumbotron. And we got other podcasts. We just mentioned one. Well, there's your problem. We've talked your shit. Bringing Young Money.

Yeah. It's really more than, a job. It's really a life. Yes. Wow. Yeah. Well, it's his microphone. He's supposed to be there. I, you know, I'm sure when, I don't know when Liam's coming back, probably within the next two weeks. He can explain why he was out. Yeah.

It is funny to me. But, uh, and he's been very funny in the group chat with how he's feeling. He's fine. He's okay. But, yeah, he'll be back in a week or two. So thanks for listening, folks, to an hour and 25 fucking minutes, Jesus Christ. Thank God, it's a three-day weekend. Yeah. All right, everybody. Peace. Bye.
