And listen to Joe mourn his Detroit Lions. We're going to have my best friend, my co-host from Well, There's Your Problem, Justin G. Rosniak, on to talk about the legacy and weirdness of defunct Philly ball stadiums. Oh, hell yeah. I'm stoked. I'm already halfway there. One would say I'm pointy. Yeah, it's beautiful.

Bring back Shy Park. Well, you're going to hear a debate between me and Roswell about which was better, Shy Park or the Baker Bowl. Shy Park. You know, just a big giant demolish temple and put the football stadium back where it was shy park if if if shy park was still around uh bryce harper would hit 70 home runs a year oh yeah yeah he'd have he'd have just like a one batting average yeah i mean it's was – I don't know off the top of my head, but I want to say like what?

Like a 280-foot right field or something ridiculous. Oh, that's 280 or 180? Shit. I'm going to have to look it up. Shy Park. Shy Park dimensions. 331 feet to right field. Oh,'s not crazy then yeah um not yeah not too bad but that's still uh a uh a lefty heaven there um oh that'd be sick though yeah that would be sick and the neighborhood well the neighborhood could use economic influx. South Philly doesn't need it.

No. Especially that weird, isolated region of South Philly. Yeah, because they're all gravy seals down there. Yeah. Yeah. All right, we want to get into the mailbag. Yeah, we got a message from someone who is brave, handsome. What else?

Friendly. Friendly. smart, well-informed. Intellectual, even. This person, his name is Ball Taser Official. And... As you do. In fancy font. And they DM'd me on Twitter,

so thank you. You can DM either of us. You can DM the podcast account and give us your mail, your questions. So I'll read this one, and then I guess we can both consider the answer. So Ball Taser Official says, I'm a Jags fan. Sorry. The firing of Urban Meyer, thank fuck. There's been talk of who will get brought on the coach next among those considered is former Philly head coach, Doug Peterson. What's y'all y'all.

Is that how you say it? Y'all's opinion. Oh, you use his opinion. Yes. On it, given his tenure at Philly and considering the state of the Jags and the current development of Trevor Lawrence as quarterback. If you have anything to say on the other possible candidates like Byron Doug Peterson would be a great hire. I mean, I think truly Trevor Lawrence is a special kid. He's huge, which helps. The boy is 6'6 two something he you know i i i i worry

about a guy like doug peterson just because i think the expectations would be so high and the jags need so much help that a head coaching hire is not going to be the the only solution to your problems you know drafting trevor lawrence was a no-brainer but like then you draft a running back in the first round too that doesn't seem to make a lot of sense like you want to protect your guy um but the jags have proven that like they're at least somewhat capable of drafting they had that you know world killer defense a few years ago they ran out of steam because they basically let belichick be belichick and just out scheme them yeah um and that was with fucking uh what's his name who was at qb that year

what's this guy he went to the university of central florida oh great podcasting when we don't remember. Yeah, but you know who I'm talking about. Not Blaine Gabbert, the other one. Fuck. Alright, we're going to look it up live, folks. We're doing it live. Blake Bortles!

There we go. The Bort. Oh, God. Brian Lefwich would at least be interesting because he played for the Jags. Yep. I, you know, he doesn't have a lot of experience, but he is at least probably familiar with the organization. Yeah. But I would think Peterson would be a good hire,

especially with, you know, lawrence with a young team uh peterson seems like a patient decent guy yeah who i mean he certainly gave carson wentz every chance yes i don't think that's really up for debate i would love to see doug peterson back in the nfl i think he's a special coach yeah you know he won he won the super bowl and then with a what i would say a relatively poorly constructed roster still did all right so he still he still should have had another year with us honestly yeah and then we got rid of cars once anyway so for what like no i i wholeheartedly agree we we traded we traded him in his christian food car i really want to find if you have eight if you ate from his uh fundamentals christian food cart when it was in philly please let us know reach out to us, please. If you've got pictures, even better. I forgot about his food cart, man. Yeah.

It just is. His audience of one shit. Jesus Christ. Going to praise God through Cisco hot dogs. Yeah. You know how it goes. Yeah. Yeah.

But I would say, absolutely. Doug Peterson is, to me, and I know I'm biased, a no-brainer. Yeah, I mean, Byron Lefkowitz, it's like he's an unknown quantity as a coach. Right. It'd be interesting. I mean, the guy should probably get a shot. You know how many coaches, shitty coaches, still manage to get jobs? Right.

You know, someone like him should should probably get the opportunity i know there's enough guys that have been in the coaching carousel long enough that it's time for a change uh yeah yeah definitely um and it's like treat our boy minshu well i think we've kind of made fun of him a lot on the uh bonus episode we have sorry uh he's a goofy dude he's fine he he's fine, I was just making fun of his fucking jacket which was stupid, sorry I will make fun of anything

any dumb and I think you're well within your rights to do that no, you should, it's troop worship nonsense so yeah I think I can concur with you. Doug Pearson's a good coach. He's a good organization builder.

Yeah. He gets the guys together. Which the Jags are going to need. Yeah, they definitely need that, especially after Urban fucking Meyer. Right. What an asshole. I mean, seriously. This is a huge – the stuff that's come out of him, out about him in recent days.

I don't want to say it's unbelievable because you see all sorts of, like, heinous stuff. Yeah. But my girlfriend had a really good point, which was if he treats pro athletes this way, what the fuck was he doing at Ohio State or Florida? Yeah. I mean, he's a guy – I mean, we described to you the theory that every so often people need their ass kicked. Urban Meyer needs to be given like a 24-hour swirling. Yeah. No, yeah.

He needs to get knocked out of Fag. You can't treat other people like that. No, it's the way – I mean, he kicked a kicker whose job it is to kick. Why would you kick him? And then it was like, I'll do any fucking thing I want like i'm the head coach from what's come out about him yeah i i i'm sure he'll get another job in college or something but like he that man should never work in football again yeah good job i don't know fucking i'm trying to think of a team that really treats your players like shit.

I don't know. Oregon or something? Yeah. Chip Kelly's coming back to Oregon, man. Yeah. Yeah, good old Chip. Good old Chip Witch. Oh, man.

The man's so racist. Fucking racist. Yeah. Piece of shit. He's a horrible dude. The Union, which has no notes next to it. It has nothing. I actually was going to try. I was trying to find the little strikeout thing on google docs oh yeah find it yeah there

was something about a transfer window which is like just call it the trade deadline yeah please like you know we're dumb americans i can't i can't do a creditable like you know proper british like football announcer accent so i'm not even gonna try but like that that sounds like something the british person would say it's the transfer window it sounds like that sounds like the period of time that you have like in britain to change jobs uh after you it was revealed you're not a turf right uh but yeah so so no union news but we do have plenty to talk about with uh the birds yeah you want to go ahead yeah so uh play the breaking news stinger that we don't have uh news uh nick sirianni has covid has COVID. We were about to get it eventually, man.

Yeah, and I wonder where he got it from. I wonder if he got it from someone in Washington. But I have a couple concerns because the dog mentality is tough to keep up when you have pneumonia. Yeah, that's a good point. You know, you need someone

to water the plants. How are you going to do that when you're dying of COVID? Yeah. But hopefully he flushes this. I like that you're just getting all your jokes in now. Yeah, yeah. It's only funny if someone's actually watching press conferences, which I do sometimes.

I don't know why. Wow, you really put yourself through it for this podcast oh yeah yeah everything you know everything's done days in advance yeah yeah that's how we do it here yeah this is this is the type a podcast uh just sending notes to each other at 3 p.m. an hour and a half before we record. Yeah. Dude, did you hear this shit? Sirianna's got COVID because, of course, he does, really. Well, we all have COVID now.

Yeah. It's inevitable. You're going to get COVID. I guess Omicron's better, supposedly. I don't know. Fuck. I mean, the guy doesn't have that many brain cells to give. No, he's our sweet golden retriever boy.

Yeah, he's our sweet boy. And hopefully he doesn't get too many loss. He gets the really easy version of it that doesn't fry your brain like it did to me. One hopes, certainly. But the NFL, I mean, all sports right now are undergoing this like you know the nhl is on a pause yeah an early pause uh the ravens as i was saying to you are down to 13 defensive players remember you need to field 11 yeah well you know numerous nba games have been um rescheduled yeah i mean chuck chuck benerick played two ways you know, Chuck, numerous NBA games have been, um, rescheduled. Yeah. I mean, Chuck, Chuck, Ben Eric played two ways. You know,

why can't these little, you know, these sissies. Yes. Well, cause that's not how the game works anymore. So shut up. Well, he's dead now anyway. So good. Yeah. Uh, uh, you revealed, uh, you revealed our opinion on Chuck Beckneric a little too soon. Oh, that's right. My bad. Oh, shit. You're supposed to pay for the bonus episode about that guy. Yeah. When it happens.

Yeah, so the Birds was delayed until Tuesday, which fucked with everything. Because I wanted to watch it on Sunday. I did end up watching this game, and it was hideous in the first half. Then Jalen got it together, and the offense started rolling, and the O-line started. Jason Kelsey looked like vintage Jason Kelsey throwing blocks. Lane Johnson running at full speed to convoy his running back was truly a joyous moment for me.

Yeah, no, I was able to watch the second half at home. Or no, the fourth quarter at home. And it was enjoyable to watch. You know, listening to the radio, of course, I was driving home. Merrill Reese always makes it – he's such a good play caller. Yeah, he's fantastic, man. Yeah, and he – you know, my howard love has been vindicated absolutely dude he he went off he truly went off yeah he he he does not fall backwards he runs forward um

it's it was just it was good to see i mean it was a team that deserved to be defeated they go attend to know in the first quarter, and it's like, oh, fuck. Yeah, I was just like, is this really how we're going to choke the season away, basically? Yeah. We're still not in the hot spot. We have to win out, I think. Win out.

I mean, we can get in there if it's two out of the next three, but it requires some... Fuckery. I mean, Dallas could lose the next three games. Which would be amazing. Yeah. I mean, they're looking rusty, man. Yeah.

The Dallas game is going to be fucking... Nightmarish. Well, nightmarish, but a must-watch. That's going to be an asshole puckering game. But, you know, it's funny listening to the sports radio and stuff, people talking about this fucking altercation between Hurts and Sirianni. Right. Which was not an altercation.

It was just a coach being frustrated. Yeah. Which he had every right to be, frankly. You fumbled the ball. Yeah. And Hurts has been Butterfingers the last couple games. But he snapped it back together. I mean, no, it wasn't anything.

Hurts is a pretty chill dude. Pretty good personality. Like, he's not like... If you said that to Carson Wentz... Oh, yeah, you would have had a weird, cryptic Instagram post. Yeah. Some Bible quote. Yeah.

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall feel no evil. Like, something way too... Way too much. Just waiting for the quote. And their admission was like that of a horses. Uh, Oh, the Bible.

Good shit. And you should read it. Yeah. Um, especially for the horse semen references. So, Oh, right.

Cause they had dogs like donkeys. Yeah. Yeah. Their, their mission was like that of horses. Yeah. You know how it is. Yeah. That's, that's how donkeys. Yeah, their mission was like that of horses. You know how it is. Yeah, that's how it goes.

And if you make fun of a bald guy, God sends bearers to kill the children. Yes, as he should. As he should. Jesus Christ. So yeah, Jordan Howard again, Unvindicated. Greg Ward

with the catch there at the end. He was fucking feeling himself. That was fun to watch. Jordan Howard again, unvindicated. Greg Ward with the catch there at the end. Phenomenal. He was fucking feeling himself. That was fun to watch. Yeah. It was a good game. I was at a holiday party that was more of an obligation than something I wanted to do. Sure.

And I got into the Minshew's Hurts shit there. Right. And that was the whole fucking, you know, oh, well, he's better. He's like, you know, it's like, oh, Jesus Christ. Like, this team right now is just finally starting to gel. And you've got a bunch of linemen who are like guys who like to – they don't like falling back. They like running forward. Right.

Yeah. I mean, you should see Jordan Maialata's fucking rugby. Oh, I'm sure he was a fucking monster, dude. Oh, he's just running over guys. Like he's a downhill guy. And the team is oriented with Hurts when he's running well. When he's cooking, he's cooking. You can put three guys in the backfield.

You don't know which one of them is going to be carrying the ball. The Eagles have the advantage of being able to be very deceptive on offense. Yeah, and deception there is the key of the game. It's hiding what the fuck you're doing. Right. People who are talking about Minshew, it's like, you know, they're going to pass,

you know, and you know, who's going to run in his, I am right. So, you know, just put that, put that shit aside.

Absolutely. We're treating Minshew well as per, cause I don't want to get my balls tased, uh, but by ball taser official, but yeah, no, uh,

he's a good backup. I think we, we covered that. Yeah. We're, since, he's a good backup. I think we covered that before. Since we shipped Joe Flacco back where he belongs. I feel bad for Jets fans. Me too. I mean, one year in Jersey. Maybe. So Kelsey and Slay were both selected for the Pro Bowl

They optioned Slay into the offense as well last game Which was fucking weird Yeah, that's odd But he's been having a career year Yeah, he's made the big plays that his nickname would suggest Yeah, and that's what we've been missing for the last couple years on defense Especially after, what's-his-name left. The safety shit. He went to the Saints.

Oh, Jesus. Obviously not Brian Dawkins, but the other guy. He kind of was like a Brian Dawkins-esque safety. Malcolm Jenkins. Malcolm Jenkins, thank you. Fuck. Do not get COVID. It fries your brain. No.

Yeah, no. So otherwise, you know, good game. Outside that first half. What do you think? We're finally 500. I mean, it's possible. I feel good, and I wish I didn't, but I feel good. Yeah.

You know what I mean? I absolutely, because I'm a moron, believe this team will make it to the postseason and will make a run. Like, they're clicking at the right time. If they can just keep the turnovers to a minimum. This team is scary. And,

and the, uh, the NFC sinks stinks. Yeah. It's horrible. It's fucking atrocious this year. So, I mean,

we got, we got what we got, the, you got the giants that we play Washington giants. Yep. I mean, those two should be weights. If we lose the giants again,

I don't know. Fuck. Yeah, I don't know. Fuck. I'm just going to... Corinne has a friend who's a Giants fan. It's just the most fucking inexcusable thing. He's from Queens, so I get it, but still inexcusable. Probably a Mets fan too.

Yeah. Fuck. Then we close the season out with the Cowboys, and that could very well be the pants shitter. Are we here or are we there? Let's see. I just had it up on my phone too and decided to close.

Oh, we're here. We're here. Oh, that's going to be a good game. If that's the clincher, I'll go to that fucking game. That's going to be insane. I mean, the Philly

deserves something good. We've been on a shit streak. Yeah. Sports-wise and otherwise. Let our city have something nice. We haven't had anything good except I mean, I don't know. Since Trump said bad things happened to Philadelphia, I guess.

Yeah, he cursed us. It's just the four seasons of landscaping. Oh, God. Go get peanut chews right by there. Shit. The same as this podcast wasn't around then.

So, anything else on the birds before we move on uh no i'm good yeah it's it's the the nfl's kind of going and it's in some ways tighter protocols for covid which we we should actually talk about how the nfl made it clear at the beginning of the season that they were willing to reschedule games. And if an outbreak occurred in a mostly vaccinated population, which Washington had, the NFL would basically do everything within its power to reschedule the game. It still sucks. The Eagles still got fucked over um the eagles had to play three games in 13 days which player safety that is not yeah yeah uh i mean the nfl seems to always end up finding the eagles one way or the other sure do buddy um dan snyder has outside I fucking hate Dan Snyder I fucking hate Dan Snyder all team owners are evil

but Dan Snyder is like top 5 for me yeah I mean it's like Jerry Jones Dan Snyder yeah truly like heinous guys heinous human being my dream would be that there is Bezos launches his dick rocket

and he's up there and musk is on the new starship which is going to explode anyway so they somehow their dicks collide in space yes somewhere over the midwest and trajectory wise this this combined dick rocket lands on dan snyder one can dream this is a dream right what's can dream. This is a dream, right? One can dream, Tom. This is a large confluence of events. I don't know that much about orbital mechanics. I know a little bit, but not much. I only have like 2,000 hours of Kerbal Space Program.

It's more than I have, so I'll leave it to your expertise. But yeah, so that would be nice. That would be nice. Or if somehow he woke up tomorrow and there was just trees blocking his view again from the sunset. If you don't know about Dan Snyder, look up Dan Snyder Park Ranger Trees. How he ruined a civil servant's career because the civil servant would not consent to having trees cut down that were in the way of his view of his sunset. Because those trees happen to be on national park land. Guy's a horrible human being.

He's an absolute piece of shit. He is. He is trash. Yeah. And, like, won't change – like, it took him this long to change the name of the team. Won't pick a new name. I have to think it's just so that they can run out of – They can just go back.

Yeah. Yeah. I think it's just so that they can run out of it. They can just go back, yeah. Yeah, or sell all their old Washington Slurs merchandise before they start a new one. I don't know. Oh, I absolutely believe that. He's so fucking greedy. He's despicable. Yeah, yeah.

Speaking of despicable. Yes. Who we got next? The Owls. Temple Owls. Football. What do we have to do, coach? Stan Drayton.

I think we talked about him the last pod as a maybe. Yeah, he was, I think, the likely hire. Yeah, I think he was from Texas. Yeah, I think he had been there. He had been the running backs coach at Texas. Yeah. He was the running backs coach at Patton in 95. There you go.

I don't know. I guess we'll see. We'll see. The program can't get much worse. Oh, shit. He was the running back coach when Jordan Howard wasard was uh playing with the bears oh wow okay all right okay confidence all right i'm happy now uh he also was coach under urban meyer uh when is his fellow boss and mentor in Florida great Ezekiel Elliott was under him his protege yeah

so he's got some good NFL players under him we'll see again the program cannot get much worse he coached Villanova we'll get to that and Penn oh man so he's been to Philly before yeah Tennessee we'll get to that and pen oh man so he's been to philly before yeah

tennessee florida mississippi state oh and villanova yeah so basketball speaking of villanova yeah drexel was postponed because i guess covid everyone has covid and everyone's dead i mean i would imagine what what what universe city universe is going to have the most covet you would think it'd be drexel right it's gonna be drexel yeah definitely just based on the on the on the student population yeah um i can't get covet i have an nft um and i made my sneeze pattern into an NFT. Yeah. I helped build a robot that's going to police neighborhoods around Drexel. Real groundbreaking work, assholes.

Yeah, fuck you, Drexel. Yep. I'm going to get my fucking post-grad cert taken away from him. Horrible school for horrible people. Yeah. All right. So we beat delaware state suck it nerds and and so we're playing next week we're playing nova and uh villanova university villanova fund i i i think that like one of the first times we messaged online was we were making fun of villanova i hate nova dude talking talking about how they would get their ass kicked if they tried to walk around temple yeah uh i've always believed that temple's football stadium should be built in

radnor so villanova can see how they fucking like it i I talk about why I hate Villanova, I guess. Yes. Because I went to Temple, and Villanova has a superiority complex, I would say greater than that of Penn's, without the same academic fortitude that Penn has. Right. And at least Penn is within the city

of Philadelphia, which Villanova is not, but they love to claim it when it's convenient. Penn, unlike Villanova, is a real school. You do have your trust fund kids go into Penn. You have your legacies or whatever, but there is real

shit going on there. Villanova is just the it's the catholic uh they couldn't make it the same in the saint joe's right yeah no uh saint joe's is unequivocally the better school and i will die on this hell yeah no it's saint joe's you need to have a brain to get into so nova you just need a donation and a check yeah do you own a pool store uh a jet ski dealership yeah jet ski dealership in haverford yeah uh then you might you might send your kid to uh to villanova you say you're from philadelphia but you uh you uber into the city for birds games and then you leave because you're afraid you'll run into a black guy. Yeah.

You don't want them to extend regional rail into King of Prussia because you think they're going to use that to steal things from your car. Which hopefully they fucking do. Yeah. You deserve it. Yeah. Fuck you. Yeah. It's, you know. I fucking hate Nova.

Yeah. Mainline shitheads. Catholic bourgeois fucks. Nova. Yeah, no. Mainline shitheads. Catholic bourgeois fucks. Yep. Yeah. Absolutely garbage people. Yeah, because growing up Catholic in the city, you know, the really smart kids went to St. Joe's.

The rest of them went to, like, they went to stay Catholic. The rest went to LaSalle. Right. I had, like, three kids that go to seminary. I didn't go to Villanova. You just got made fun of. Good. Yeah. I'm glad to kids that go to seminary. I didn't go to Villanova. You just got made fun of. Good. Yeah. I'm glad to hear that.

That makes me happy. Yeah. Absolutely. I don't think I don't... I don't... I think only one kid from my class went to Villanova and I'm pretty sure we made fun of him for it. The people who go to Villanova... The worst is people who didn't go to Nova and have no connection to it but are like, oh, I'm a Villanova fan. Man, shut the fuck up. Oh, that... strikes – is the Notre Dame guys in Philly?

Yep. Yeah. All right. Despite the fact that Notre Dame has the best fight song. It is the best fight song. And good colors. And there was something about Notre Dame players. They did fight the KKK at one point. So I'm not was something about Notre Dame players.

They did fight the KKK at one point. So I'm not shitting on Notre Dame. I'm shitting on guys from Philly who think that they're good. You grew up, we all know, you grew up at Grant and the Boulevard. Yeah. And you didn't even want to go to Notre Dame. You just wanted to root for them. Yeah. Yeah, you're fucking from

Salmon and Edgemont Streets. Oh, Jesus. In Port Richmond. Oh, I'm getting local, man. You go to Zwie X because you're actually Polish but you have an Irish last name. You know, or actually your last name's like Tomaszewski

but you pretend you're Irish and you root for fucking Notre Dame over your actual schools that you went to. Fucking traitor. Asshole. It's a highly specific reference. Fuck. But yeah, no. Villanova.

Fuck you, Villanova. I hate Nova, man. I just – I'm so tired of them. I'm tired of them. We're from Philly. No, you're fucking not. You don't pay wage tax. Oh, we had – I remember in, man. I'm so tired of them. I'm tired of them. We're from Philly. No, you're fucking not. You don't pay wage tax. Oh, we had – I remember at high school, we actually had kids from one of the schools out by Villanova.

I forget what school it was. There's a Catholic school out there. There's Rosemont. Well, Rosemont's a college. There's a Catholic high school out in that area. Yeah, yeah, yeah. uh there's there's there's a catholic high school out out in that area yeah yeah and uh they came into to uh they paid north and they had signs and it said that like we took the l to get here but they spelled it just the letter l and it's like no it's el you idiot it's el it's el this is it

Because I think their game is coming up, and every year, like, they used to fight with chairs and shit, and I always loved it, like, those two schools truly and genuinely hate each other. Yeah. We had to find someone from Cincinnati to explain the origin of that. I know someone, actually. I can see if she'll come on. I don't know how much she knows about it, but she went to Cincinnati. So, go Bearcats. They play Alabama

be in the mob yeah that's that is what this is uh josh harris who owns the sixers is a fucking vc bro and all into nfts and shit as well unfortunately i i'm sorry i i don't i i don't want to be like reading the defector articles you should read it but they say on his linkedin profile he's got a certificate from the who on recognizing and managing anaphylactics uh all right well that's important yeah um and there's a chinese company called uh xia huan huang xia wan huang a lot better than i'm ever gonna uh i i can try with chinese sometimes i had a student kind of tell me how the letters are pronounced um in english uh yeah you so they have an app yeah which which which has a i i wish we could like play the audio for you guys it's but you have to go to the article and it is oh it's it's a mind fuck dude i i i mean that and i mean that it's very confusing i i'm not

sure if i went to like a fugue state yeah i believe that i did i believe i temporarily lost consciousness so so the app the app has videos on it um and it's got a voiceover of someone with heavily accented English, which is fine. We don't mock people. English is hard to learn. The copy is very... I put this together in the last

36 hours. You can create your virtual image as a superstar. It offers a number of original content. Then you can't actually access the original content. It looks like they're just going through like imdb yeah um and i seriously it is it is like you it's a mind fuck yeah yeah that your buddy brought the shrooms over and you you took a little too much yeah it took a little too many and you were doing in the basement with the vibes are bad you know how it is yeah and spiders started coming out of the uh the hot water here as they do yeah uh and just a poorly cropped image of

david via uh it's all very confusing i don't know what this is and and and the the sixers have also they they were partnered with stubhub last year for the uniform sponsor but now they're now they're not now they're partnered with crypto.com so fucking embarrassing it's just jesus christ like oh it sucks so much oh um oh again i don't want to read the article But the CEO of Colorstar was originally A man named Biao Lu Who resigned

And was replaced by someone named Basil Watt Wilson That's not a real name Then by Sir Lucas Capetian That's the least real What is happening That's not a real name! What is happening? That, that... No! I'm really

mad at this! How is he a Sir? You're Philadelphia 76ers, folks. How are you a Sir? First off, pass the Tiles of Neville Amendment. Yep. Second... Every podcast we're on. Second, what the fuck?

Is this fucking real? Like, why are the Sixers doing – they're not going to do anything. Like, what are they partnering them for? We don't know. They won't tell us. They should have both told us. Are they going to make new Sixers NFTs? Are they going to make new sixers nfts are they going to please they're going to be

is there going to be a song that plays when you take a piss at the wells fargo center one two three four five please insert payment now please drink verification can uh uh fuck man what the fuck i? I hate this tech bro shit. I hate the future. I fucking hate it. Oh, my God. So fucking mad. It's really fucking frustrating to watch a team you care about just devolve into whatever the fuck this is.

I'll see the Sixers. The Sixers social media will put out like, oh, here's like a fucking QuarkMod 3. Or here's an NB Dunk. And it's like Crypto.com. And I'm like, I want to like it, fucking QuarkMoz3, or here's an NBDunk. And it's like Crypto.com, and I'm like, I want to like it, but I don't want to. I'm not going to. Because, fuck you, cryptocurrency.

You know, I had to block Crypto.com on Twitter because I was sick of their fucking ads. Smarter man than I am. I haven't gotten around to it yet. Fuck. Yeah, so, I don't know. Read the article. it's really fun it's it's by defector defectors worth worth paying for absolutely um friend of the pod dan mcquade who doesn't know he's a friend of the pod yeah uh he will someday he He will. Once the letter I sent gets to his house. Recognize me, Dan.

Yeah. All right. I guess Sixers. Congratulations on your win. Yes. Enos Cantor Freedom or Freedom Cantor shouldn't be in the NBA this year anymore. Embiid made him look worse. Made him look foolish.

Yeah. Yeah. I wanted Korkmaz to post him up, but I guess it didn't happen. Not post him up, posterize him. That would have been sick. It gets his balls

right in his face, too. Thank you, too. Like, that would have been... Thank you. Thank you, Tom. Yeah. Squisito. Echo. Babani.

Yeah, so... You know... Who cares? Who cares about the other games? I don't give a shit. We beat the Celtics. We beat them without the... Without a point guard. We have a point center now. His name's Joel Embiid.

Yes. Who still absolutely deserves MVP consideration. Oh, I didn't put up what Embiid said and I lost it because he did go up to someone and say something weird the other game. We'll have to do that

in another episode because looking for shit in the middle of a podcast is stupid. But yeah, we got point center. Talk about point forward. You thought point forwards were good. We have something even better. Even better.

Yeah, because Maxi was out and Shake has COVID. Which makes me sad because I like Shake a lot. I do too. He's a special man. Yeah, he's a

fun player to watch. And Curry's been hot. He's hitting 61% with his mid-range. Is he really? Holy shit, dude. Yeah, this season. That's been hot. He's hitting 61% with his mid-range. Is he really? Holy shit, dude. Yeah, this season. That's fucking insane.

He was 9 for 10 from mid-range. I mean, he's a good three-point shooter. That's what his game is, but he's hitting mid-range jumpers like crazy. That's right, because you need that level of flexibility for him, too. Yeah. Being able to have a pressure valve is nice. Yeah. It looks good.

I think we're playing... Who are we playing today? Atlanta. We'll see how that goes. With Lance Stevenson back. But Atlanta's got a lot of their guys are out with the Rona. So, yeah, we'll see. And Atlanta is not doing so great this year.

No. Trae Young, cut your hair. Just buzz it. Just buzz it. Oh, they have Trae Young today. Yeah. Clint Capella, DeAndre Hunter is out. Danilo Gallinari is out.

He genuinely is. He's the nice junkie. Because there are nice junkies out there and if you think every junkie's an asshole, fuck you. Because a lot of them are decent people who just got caught up in bad shit. Yeah, they were fed cheap pills for years

and years and years and then they took the cheap pills away and people wonder why they're dependent on them. Yeah, who would have thought that? It's crazy how that works. But yeah, no. My man rocking the teeth missing and all that. The hair. It's the hair that does it.

And he's got the wiry, scraggly neck. Yeah. Yeah, he does. That is, like, that was me. Like, the wiry, scraggly neck beard was me until I was, like, 23. Oh, no. Oh, I couldn't grow a full beard until I was like 24, 25. That's so depressing.

He fucking sells Lucys. He would buy them, too. He's just like ripping heaters in the Sixers locker room. Smoking darts.

Oh, Jesus Christ. Moving on to the Flyers. Who lost to the Habs? After we talked to them. Yeah. I shouldn't have been complimentary. The Habs listened. Yeah.

This season continues to be very confusing and also go nowhere. Yeah. But we beat the Senators. NHLers aren't going to the winter olympics which is a bummer yeah yeah so that's all part of this whole covid thing and i remember i was texting you on sunday i was like i heard there might be you know season postponements or season suspensions in the words yeah the uh the six of the nba decided against it but they were really talking about it at one point. I guess... So what, they're coming back

after Christmas? Yeah. The NHL? Which I guess is a good thing. They'll play the Kraken next on the 29th. Because, I mean, this shit is going around. Yeah.

I mean, it's insane. I know three people who got it last week. Yeah. It's fucking scary out there, man. Yeah. It went from, like, last week you could get – like, this time last week, we're recording this on Thursday. You could have gotten a test. Yeah.

This weekend, you couldn't. Right. It's crazy. It's fucking insane. I'm fine with the Flyers postponing. Just be safe. Don't buy it sports. It's sports. Who cares?

Yeah, the Flyers are fifth in the Metro now. So that's good, I guess. Every game is either a total blot or a nail-biter, and it just sucks ass. Yeah. But who knows? The Phillies, you want to talk about the lockout,

which is never going to end? This is just a little bit apparently there's like been no actual progress over the core economic issues does not shock me and different league sources have been talking about how this is going to go to like January

easily the sides are too far apart. Fuck it sucks. Like I said this last pod, pitchers and catchers report is something that we really look forward to as baseball fans.

And I don't know what's going to happen come, come February. Right. That's fucking depressing. Oh, uh, yeah,

I don't really have too much to say about it. It's kind of, it's kind of just fucking flip. We're just keeping the, keep, keeping the tread in water here. Yeah. All right. Got to read. treading water here. Yeah.

Alright. Gotta read. So we might as well I banned Tom from saying the joke of the week. Yeah. I'm coming up with a new one. So do you want me to do it? The new one?
