Ten Thousand Losses - The Podcast That Fights Itself?

Episode Date: March 11, 2022

How the hell are we at 20 already? Tom and Liam answer some voicemails, threaten each other, and talk about why you shouldn't bet on your own team. We recorded this one before the end of the MLB owners' lockout and the Sixers pooped themselves against the Nets. Sorry for the optimism, pessimism, and the sound of Tom's mic.  Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tenklossespod Leave us a voicemail: 267-371-7218 Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/tenthousandlosses

He is actually going to eject a fan. Because bad things happen in Philadelphia, bad things. The fan jumped into the penalty box area. Joy just come to Philadelphia and stand here and dodge ice balls. So, uh, so yeah, yeah, me, me and my trying to make this professional it's kind of kind of not in keeping with the diy aesthetic uh well you know i to be fair uh i just said i was recording this podcast at six i'm not no no because it's because it's 4 51 p.m it's 4 51 and i'm with you and yeah here you are, here I am, born to the Turks. Yeah, it is not 6 p.m. where you said that you were going to be recording at 6 p.m.?

10,000 losses, and I meant, well, there's your problem, but I said 10,000 losses. And when was the 10,000 losses episode going to be on? Penn Central Park, too. Well, I am a real aficionado i like trains i think they're cool i like things that go fast i like the doppler effect um put me on your podcast yeah yeah uh well you actually invited me on the pot of the before this ever happened but um so eventually i guess at some point yeah we'll have to we'll schedule that for whatever philly-based disaster yeah uh or catholicism if you ever get to that one if i ever honestly if i ever get to that i got shoved down

in queue uh for those of you who don't know the next uh well there's your problem got the right podcast this time bonus episode is going to be on the uh penn station yes and what what they what they did to my baby boy right my uh i i had a professor oh where's lou oh oh yeah you what what oh he's back your sound form like just just like literally it was like you flatlined oh no like like or i guess it ran out of paper your waveform uh yeah such scribbling yeah um i had a professor at community college of philadelphia who i realized things about him now that i didn't realize then. Cause I was, Oh, those are the best dude. Yeah.

I was, I was, I was, uh, I was a precious libertarian back then. Oh no. I, I was always not racist though.

I've always been not racist. Good job. Thank you. Yeah. So I've always been not racist. Um, but I wasn't like anti, like,

you know what I mean? Like, sure, sure. And so there was the things that he liked to talk about were how they massacred the your boy up at penn station in new york and so he loved to talk about that he loved to bitch about transit and uh when he had office hours i went to his room and he had a picture of lennon and stalin and then i asked him oh so

what's with that and he said well i think i think it's funny how stalin looks younger than lenin in this picture and they made lenin look really old oh yeah is that what you think guy can you just that's that's why you keep it in your office. This and for no other reason. Yeah, so shouts out to Dr. Well, he's not doctor. He was one of these like guys you could when you could get a master's and teach in community college. So shouts out to Mr. Horowitz at community college. I don't know.

He teaches. I don't think he teaches anymore, but he does. Last time I i checked he does tours at laurel cemetery and if you're still alive dude you fucking rock and uh yeah uh i'll buy well you don't drink anymore uh but yeah you rock um also so your your gain is super high now uh good like like two point words blowing up that's where that's because I have the mic in a position that makes sense. If your webcam was on, would it be like a sort of obscene position? A phallus, one might say. Yes.

All right. Well, with that, I'd like to say hello to you all out there and welcome to another episode of 10 000 losses the only philadelphia sports podcast that exists that's right that's right that's right we uh what we did was we took liberty ballers and uh we executed them yeah they were enemies of the state and uh they know what they did and we will not be compensating their families. Yeah, it was a hell of a time getting to Yekaterinburg too. Yeah.

Yeah. Especially considering all the passport shit you have to do. It was crazy how we had to do that in order to save Philadelphia from itself. Yeah. Also, the guy who runs First Time Long Time Philly is in a trash heap in uh burlington county somewhere yeah well that was going to be like our original name yeah like was one of the first things we we shot yeah and uh i hate stoolies man just yeah uh yep they uh they are the immortal enemy of the pod more so than 10,000 posts

Got it Shit, man, we got a lot to talk about today Yeah, this is going to be a girthy episode Girthy, yeah, very thick, two C's episode Yeah, which the people are owed after last week's Kind of short one And uh Let's give him the girth Tom Oh yeah absolutely

And uh so yeah speaking of that My name is Tom Payne and my pronouns are him And with me is my co-host Liam Anderson I missed the yay So you missed the cue Son of a whore Don't talk about

your mother like that. Whoa. Hey. Oh, I will fuck you up. And Ladoff is beyond. Welcome to I will fight you because you talk about your mom like that. 10,000 losses. 10,000 losses. The only podcast that fights itself. Yes. Well, everything is kind of

building up to us fighting each other on St. Patrick's Day. I don't know why. Yeah. Well you're italian and i'm irish that's a good enough reason that is that is my twitter uh the fucking banner i think was the funniest shit uh yeah i uh it reminds me of uh there's your problem the early days where ross and i would both be logged into the podcast twitter and uh simply start beef with each other yes yes that is that is very well i mean the beef this week with the sub tweeting about your mechanical cleave keyboard keyboard yeah it was pretty pretty it was it was pretty funny uh i uh listen um i i built that a computer, which he then spewed spilled beer all over. That's kind of disrespectful.

I didn't know that part. So I, uh, I am entitled to, uh, fuck. Uh, I don't, I don't know what I'm, where I'm going with, with this, but, uh, I guess I'm entitled to destroy Ross's possessions at will. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's what anarchism is will. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's what anarchism is all about.

This, uh, yeah, that's it. It's just destroying possessions. No other, no other beliefs or systems. Yeah.

Um, the, the, the, I, uh, I remember getting very mad on, on,

uh, the day of the January 6th thing, because the news just decided to call people anarchists. Like, they were breaking in. Nope. Wrong. Only I can criticize anarchists. You shut your fucking mouth, you goddamn libs.

Don't you talk shit about anarchists. I will fight you. These are my people. Yeah. We disagree about very minor things. Anyways. It's time to right the ship yeah yeah right we don't have any announcements this week i guess uh we will try and get a bonus episode up this month not two hours before the end of the month and we don't know yet we're not going to start saying ideas because that just ends up not happening.

Exactly. So I will. I will. We will see what we can do. Yeah. Well, I mean, we're probably all going to be in the same location that day. And I think what we do is we just go in there. You have a handgun, right?

I actually don't. I thought you did. Anyway, I didn't show you my guns when we were there no you didn't uh yeah i i think what we do is we we you we knock him out cold we just drag him up the stairs into the podcasting studio and we make him record a pod yeah i was gonna say i'm good with knots oh yeah well you're uh you're you're a guy that knows his way around a knot. Yeah. Not to reveal any personal information. No. Very disappointing to a college girlfriend.

I was not good at those kinds of knots. I love the idea of you being like, sorry, nautical all my... Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, I will do a blow pitch. Not nautical, girl. Yeah, yeah. Nautical.

Yeah. I can tie a bowline around your waist and haul you into my boat that's fucking funny i love the idea of like oh do something nasty with me and just dragging this poor girl into your boat i i i too i tie a cloak just like happily like we're going tog fishing yeah i'm dragging you like a piece of lumber i just did a fucking sheet bend that's that's too fucking funny yeah oh man uh yeah so um if you have any thoughts or not or other sports related um anecdotes or if you're a yinzer who is happens to be up at three in the morning, you can give us a call on our voicemail at 267-371-7218. And

also, if you like this kind of dumb shit, which I guess you do because you listen to this nonsense, go pay for it and go to Patreon. That's our little commercial. So,

Liam, speaking of yinzers... Speaking of yinzers i almost said the lindsers yeah liam yinzers all right speaking of yinzers uh we did get a call about 147 a.m i think it was last week thank you and uh let's let's hear what this i wonder who it could be. Hello to my friends over at 10K Losses. This is me, John from Pittsburgh. Hello, yin, yaw, and you. He, him, as is normal.

Yeah, love all the love coming my way. I had two points coming back from previous segments and one from the most recent episode. uh one when we are talking about a coach battle royale i was disappointed to not hear both uh robert stela of the new york jets the only uh lebanese and muslim coach in the nfl uh of my favorite goddamn jet. Yes, we suck. Yes, we know it.

But you can hold on to the fact that we do have the only Muslim coach in the NFL who could absolutely wreck fucking house. But, of course, I have to mention, since it's John from Pittsburgh, that Mike Tomlin, also a top contender. However, to my larger point that Tom has brought up what baseball team we should support in the Japanese

market, my contender is the Softbank Hawks over the Hampton Tigers, mainly because it is a Softbank-sponsored baseball team, and just that and the insanity of the entire Japanese baseball team to be a consideration for updates of the league.

And I think this is a new segment, what's going on in Japanese baseball. It would probably be only me and Tom that care about it, but I would propose it as a decent segment. Interested to hear your thoughts? Have a good one. Well, thanks, John from Pittsburgh.

Yeah, so we definitely overlooked Robert. I think, I don't know if it's Salah. I asked my wife, she said Salah, but that might be her accent. New York Jets themselves say Salah. Do they say Salah like I asked my wife she said Salah but that's might be her accent New York Jets themselves say Salah do they say Salah yeah yeah Salah

yeah he I think he's Lebanese he is Lebanese he is a fourth Arab American head coach of the NFL after two Eagles coaches and Abe Gibran all of them have been Lebanese for some reason who knows um

well there's a lot of christian lebanese so i imagine that that's like a more but again he's muslim he is muslim yeah his wife he and his wife both speak arabic all right yeah so and he probably yeah i mean you know he we definitely overlooked him i think it's because he's kind of newish yeah and also we don't think about the jets much thank god yeah jets and kicking ass don't really although this guy played i'm looking at a picture of him when he was on the niners and like rains coming down when he was coaching for the niners yeah this dude is an app this he's built like a brick shithouse yeah yeah no yeah no he definitely could you could you could tell and and shouts out to another um shaved head king um

uh mike tomlin could wreck shit too oh yeah absolutely absolutely yeah so we we kind of dropped the ball on that um i think it was at the fighting your dad episode yeah yeah um a very highly regarded episode people have uh totally and uh so to that other point i first off i've never been to assault i only go to hard banks i've never felt the need to to have a soft bank around i've never had problems you should be ashamed it's probably i've never i've never like felt the need i uh no yay soft bank yay weird financial shit yeah the jeff the japanese company that as far as i know is known for basically saying haha money printer go brr yeah i think it's like fukuoka or fukuoka uh soft bank hawks what a name dude uh let's see

yeah let's see let's see i can look at this up when there's no ipa translation fukuoka soft bank hawks um their ballpark is called the Fukuoka Pei Pei Dome. Well, at least they're honest about it, right? That, okay, all right. You know what? That's what happens when you go to a baseball park. Yeah. They love dome stadiums in Japan.

I wonder what that is. I wonder what the reason is. I'm what that is. I wonder what the reason is. I'm sure there is. I'm not... I don't know enough about Japanese climate to give a good answer. Yeah, I'm not... So, like, I think we can, like, critically support the Hanshin Tigers. I think maybe someone on the trash future side of things,

which is not this podcast if you were accidentally listen to us um like that sounds like a team that like alice might yeah just for the name um but i think i think i'm going to stick with the hanshin tigers because they're old they have like this old history and baseball fans are inherently conservative reactionary scumbags which is what you are of course yeah absolutely um uh how do you feel about a mbp segment um you good for two hours every you fucking knock yourself out uh i mean if i see cool shit i think i think we talk about it but uh old cast used to have the white socks been it where they would like

boo uh tib marchman as he tried to talk about the white socks that was always pretty funny yeah um i mean we just we boo ourselves because we hate philadelphia sports we do but we also like it yep but they're all dumb idiots so yeah yeah yeah again well i think it's in the old intro is the they'll boo us but they won't let anybody else boo us and that is 100 correct yeah that's absolutely true yeah it's the same principle with uh with like yeah you can't call them anarchists because yeah fuck you only i can only i can you can't they can't do that to our pledges only we can do that to our pledges. Only we can do that to our pledges. Yeah, exactly. Uh,

all right. We actually have two voicemails this week. Uh, again, please, please keep, uh, send these in there. Uh,

they're always fun. All right. This is, I think from Tyler from Arizona. So, uh, yeah, man,

who knows? Hey, Tom and yay, Liam. My name is Tyler, long-time listener, first-time caller. I'm calling from Tucson, Arizona, home of the number two-ranked Arizona Wildcats. I'm stealing this question from the Late Magazine sports podcast because why not? What is a goofy rule change you think would actually be a good idea? For example, in hockey overtime overtime an extra puck gets added

to the game every 60 seconds or in football the player who scores a touchdown has to kick the extra point stuff like that keep up the good work and bear down Arizona I actually have nothing against the University of Arizona it's a school I don't hate

I genuinely hate the people who went to Arizona State but I've got nothing against Arizona. Fuck. A fun extra rule. Yeah. So, number one, I don't know if it's fun. Get rid of the fucking shootout in hockey. That shit should be.

I'm perfectly happy if games go for nine hours. I don't care. Let them destroy their bodies. In all seriousness seriousness i always kind of thought that uh making basketball seven on seven for overtime would be very funny because i i i always liked the idea of like just crap like just just basically lining them up like seven on seven rugby i'm like hoping for the best. And I've always, like someone

said it, the idea of playing seven-on-sevens in football as an extra as overtime. But I think hockey multi-puck is a terrific idea, too. That just sounds like absolute insanity.

Like, a couple thoughts. Oh, and a four-point line. Four-point line in basketball. Oh, if you can hit a half-court, it's four-point. Yeah, exactly. All right, I like that. I like that.

The other basketball one I was thinking of is, you know, you have a power play on basketball. Oh, that'd be sweet. Yeah. But it would make it, it's not just a little advantage it's such a huge advantage i know yeah it's such a it's such an individual driven like ability driven sport for your own ability to get open um but it it might be fun it would be fun it would at least be entertaining which is i think the heart of the question uh yeah and it was like you know in the uh for football because football overtime actually just is not fun no it sucks it sucks as we've talked about maybe they actually have to play rugby or oh that would be tight dude yeah yeah the The overtime is determined by the play. Completely different sport.

Jordan, my, my Lada just shred. He's like, I've, I've been waiting for this moment my entire life, you know? Uh, yeah, absolutely. Um, the, uh, the other thing I was thinking is in baseball. I actually were taking get the shootout out of hockey. What about home run Derby for extra innings? Oh, that'd be sick.

Yeah. I get like, you get, you get, you know, you get your, um, you got to pick five guys and,

um, they have, it's like old school baseball rules. It's like, it were like beer league softball. You got, it's gotta be a hittable pitch. Right.

Um, no, no weird, no bullshit weird no bullshit yeah yeah just fastballs and uh you know you get so many chances and whoever hits the most dingers uh wins and i think that would be then you would i would say is that you could open it up to anyone on your team you could so like you know you got five guys let's say one of your pitchers is a fucking slugger too uh he gets a chance like if he's better than one of your you know that would be fun as hell yeah i think that would be cool i think i i don't know how many like you get like three ball like you just get three period like even if you foul them off or something like that so we got to play horse for nba overtime as i like that yeah yeah horse um i always liked in like 2k uh that my career ahead yeah so you would like i remember the one it's like i built like a five foot ten point guard to do like an ai kind of thing and then

they're like yeah you're just paying pickup ball with kemba walker well it's like he's blocking every fucking shot i got so i can't get it open my player sucks um i uh i would also watch three and three half court overtime so oh just oh yeah yeah that would work there's like actually like a like a three on three league yeah i forgot what it's called big three big three yeahthree league. Yeah, the Big Three. I forget what it's called. Big Three. Big Three, yeah. That's a kind of interesting concept.

I think we covered all four of those there. Oh, I have one more. Okay, yeah. For soccer, you keep penalties, but the goalies have to swap out with someone else on the team and the goalies have to kick. Okay. So you presumably have to switch out a defenseman who no longer gets to kick and you have the goalie and the defenseman has to. It's like when position players pitch in baseball.

Yeah, exactly like that. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly like that. Yeah. Yeah. And they end up striking out people because they're not, they're not used to timing up a 75 mile per hour fastball that drops. That's like when you see guys, like there's like compilations of guys striking out to the position players. That's always, well,

that actually might be a thing. Like you can't use your pitchers. Yeah. In extra innings. You gotta, you gotta go uh with with a position guys i guess yeah well like i one of these things i want to actually like do a long form thing on the on the time that the detroit tigers uh hired random guys from philadelphia

because ty cogg was suspended because he beat the shit out of a guy called him the N-word. This was when he beat up the disabled guy. And one of the guys was the only priest. I think we might talk on the Detroit bonus episode, actually. You did. Yeah, but this would be a fun, long-form kind of like

you know, because it was like the only priest ever played baseball. It was all Philly guys off the street. Hell yeah, dude. Yeah, yeah. And there was actually one guy who played well, and it was like the only priest ever played baseball. It was all Philly guys off the street. Hell yeah, dude. Yeah. Yeah. And there was actually one guy who played well. And it's like, what?

You don't like be like, hey, you know what? Why don't you, why don't you come back next tomorrow? And, you know, we'll throw some batting practice at you. See how you do. He actually like was like two for four or something like that. And it played well. Yeah. So, yeah.

No, I think that i think that those are some interesting ideas there uh you're getting uh you're ready to transition yeah all right i was sorry i was reading a thing about phil kessel uh if you remember him his child was born yesterday so he took one shift got a shot on goal left the ice so he could fly back from Detroit to Arizona to see the birth of his child the coyote set up a private

charter for so he could do so so his Ironman streak is still active he's 22 games behind Keith Yandel flyers defenseman for the longest active Ironman streak all right all right that's that's pretty that's pretty fun

pretty sick start with the Union yeah all I gotta say is one I can't fucking find their games anywhere I think I had to like pay for some other shit but they uh are oh no wait they're one oh and one because you get to i i they did not lose right they beat montreal which is nice good fuck the habs yeah we had any sport there are so many french names in our

patreon we got to be careful except you guys love you guys yeah you guys you guys are pretty cool you're handsome and or beautiful or both yeah um that's all that's all about the union i don't know all right let's uh let's talk about the sixers yeah so i saw a thing that was just like uh yokich is the clear favorite for mvp and i no he's fucking not no he's fucking not dude and beat and beat is on an unreal tear and i know some of the advanced stats like favored yokich but like i don't fucking care dude give it to him be like who kept the sixers alive by himself for the pre hardened dark days. Yeah.

Um, anyway, it was his, I don't know. Number. He had another 40 point game. Yeah. Against,

against the five, I think. Yeah. I guess the, he, um, he is a clear, uh,

I don't, I don't see how you can possibly really believe it's anyone but him. No. Unless you're just like an idiot. So that guy sounds like it. So they had, he only had 22 against the heat. He had 43 against the bulls a couple of nights ago. Yeah.

Yeah. That's, that's what it was against the heat. He had a real good game. Well, they're against the bulls. He had a really good game. The heat. That was a, that was just a real good game or against the Bulls he had a really good game the Heat that was a that was just a they didn't care game exactly I saw someone that was like oh the Heat are frauds

you know blah blah blah it's like the Sixers still lost by 17 like yeah like I get that you know maybe they weren't the most competitive but like they would have competed in those games before the harden trade and even with james harden james harden's only been here a couple weeks it's hard to evaluate that but when you drop by 17 like i mean he's only been here for one for two weeks

this will be a second week right yeah um but yeah i'm not too worried i mean the last time i checked we were number two in the east i don't know if we still are. You know, I think that number is going to be climbing. I think we're going to be in contention for one of the top three spots. Oh, yeah. I think that that's sort of beyond discussion at this point. Yeah. You're three. I mean, you're three games back of the first place heat, but it's entirely doable.

The heat are hot right now which is funny because that's their name nominative determinism yeah oh fuck yeah you know what i meant i knew what you meant don't worry put an extra syllable in there like the british do with aluminum aluminium shut the hell up i mean you know it's not uh uh yeah no the the sixers look good they're fun to watch um i'm going to jump a little bit in order because i want to talk about the game uh that will probably have already happened by the time you listen to this but the ben simmons game what's happening thursday to thursday we are recording this it is 5 19 p.m wednesday march 9th 2022 eastern standard time eastern standard time uh ben simmons makes his return tomorrow uh and i i don't really know

what to think to be honest with you um yeah the i he started commenting on like barstool philly's uh instagram post like oh this will be like can't wait to see you ben and he said likewise i'm like you don't really work as a taunting goon uh no you you he's not a bantz guy yeah you're you got to be able to take shit to to banterter and I think we've established that's not possible for him I can't imagine he must be easy to fuck with when you have like a psycho

say he is playing against Embiid someone like Embiid or J-Bell could really fuck with his head right and probably did yeah but that'll be interesting they say he's gonna be on the bench yeah you think so i mean i guess we'll find out but uh no i don't think so i think they'll basically announce last minute that he won't be is sort of my thinking i i just can't unless he's gonna try like let and start flipping people off or shit.

I mean, he's going to hear everything they're saying. Right. That's the thing about basketball, man. You're so close to the court. Arenas are not that big. He's going to get booed. I mean, he's going to get intense. Yeah.

Very intensely booed. Right. But someone's probably going to get kicked out for throwing mean, he's going to get intense. Yeah, very intensely booed, right. Someone's probably going to get kicked out for throwing something. Someone is going to throw something. I was thinking that too. Yeah. And you know, I don't know if he's ever actually going to play a game in town. Like, he'll play against the Sixers, but not in

Philadelphia. I don't know. Maybe. Who knows? But yeah. It it's gonna be interesting and and uh you know it's gonna be a fun game to watch i think i think is that the tnt game the game of the week i think so i mean it's gonna be nationally televised as far as i know yeah it's the tnt game it's a thursday night yeah primetime game so it's gonna be fun and uh i'm sure we'll we'll have uh plenty of wisdom and insight from uh yeah i'm sure sports radio will be very calm and and not fuck nuts crazy about it yeah and shack and shack i won't have to hear anything stupid from jekyll o'Neal or Charles Barkley. Yeah.

Yeah. Fuck, dude. It's funny. So here's the sort of question here is what do the Sixers need to push themselves into the third round if they're not already there. I have no reason to believe they're not there other than like the consistency where like, it's sort of the same problems they've had where like Embiid can get, if you play trap on Embiid and he, and you sort of just like piss him off all night. Sometimes he responds well to that.

And sometimes he doesn't where like they lost by 48 to the Celtics a couple of weeks ago. And like, they had just checked out of that game in the first quarter but like i feel like the sixers i think the mentality around the team from the fans and i don't think this is this is true of the sixers but i know that this can be contagious is that uh this team could sleepwalk its way into the nba finals and like you got drubbed by miami by 17 in a truly hideous game. Like, yeah. But I,

I also think that like the talent is clearly there. Yeah, definitely. The talent is there. I, I think that as long as everyone stays healthy and Embiid, especially just stays locked in and doesn't let himself, you know,

get got it's, it's going to be, it's going to be a fun. I think they, they get it. They, my expectation is that this team at least gets to the Eastern conference finals and probably makes it to the NBA finals. Yeah. Or they go to the Eastern conference finals where they are vaporized in four games of my beloved Boston Celtics.

Yeah. You think the Celtics are getting to the, I have to, I have to believe Tom, I have to believe that's, that's actually what you were up in Boston recently for is to renew your blood oath. Yeah. I actually had to go to TD garden and drop 200 points of their pro $200 of their pro shop and buy a Tatum Jersey. And then what I do is I stand on a corner in South Boston and I just scream slurs of Cambodian people all day fucking long. And they give me the Mark Wahlberg metal for heroism. He beat up a Vietnamese guy actually, I think. But yeah, Google Mark Wahlberg.

The crime. Yeah. There's more than one. So you'll have to narrow it down. Yeah. Start, start chronologically. Start with the earliest one when he was like i think 17 i fucking hate the walbergs man mark walberg left uh the patriots super bowl against the uh falcons early it was a fucking quitter cry baby i just i just i i will never not be like every time the 9-11

happens it's like i'll know i'll tell you if i was it wouldn't have gone down that way yeah it was like yeah if i was on that plane when it went down that way i i always turn into the boss that boss accent in new york when it's hard i have to warm it up first that's tough pack the cat have it yeah yeah when it went down that way yeah i don't know fuck it i'll cut that out uh i can do it every so often leave it leave it when you embarrass yourself leave leave the Kennedy one the Kennedy one actually is not half bad no uh i don't know how i could do that one i don't know i don't know i uh i was trying to do Clint today that Yeah.

They, I mean, they might, if they make noise in the tourney, but like they're not yeah they're not gonna yeah uh i i saw i saw i'm guessing it was you that wanted to do the bracket for wtyp yeah yeah i i had i had a thought of like you get i don't know i don't think a guest host thing would be a good idea for this podcast. No. Because I don't know who the fuck's going to win. And it could be someone who's absolutely fucking insane. Yeah. I got to figure out prizes for that.

Yeah. Maybe some sort of like, I don't know, Twitch stream or something. That would be fun. That's actually a really good idea. Yeah. I guess we can move on to to hockey if you want uh fuck uh my notes hopefully my notes weren't too exhaustive for you yeah no uh it just said fart i wanted to talk about carter fart uh he had 47 saves last night against vegas and his safe percentage is up to 0.9. He's not being done any favors

by his defensemen. They're sort of wasting his season and I wanted to criticize Alain Vigneault, the old Flyers coach, specifically for basically letting a 21 year old kid take all of the blame for the Flyers last year. I thought that I

think I've voiced his opinion before, but I am so happy to see Alain Vigneault gone i thought he he was so happy to point fingers and he and he never defended his guys and like even when they suck you got to defend your guys right you got to be like listen we'll fucking get we'll fucking fix it like leave us alone and especially leave the kid alone right yeah i said blow up the team now on to football the one the one thing i thought of this is when you said 47 saves like jesus christ brad lidge had 48 i was like oh that's wrong sport wrong sport i was like god damn he's having a fucking career year and he did that in one night yeah jesus christ he just went went every team in the league and also the minor leagues.

This kind of hard kid is unbelievable. Yeah. Jesus Christ. Yeah, you should see his fucking curveball. All right. So football, because we got a bit on this today, the talk about that's very much in our sort of axis to grind. I should say this segment should be called we fucking told you what's going to happen oh are we talking about the calvin ridley thing or the carson winch trade

oh so oh i i need a breaking news drop breaking breaking news whatever that drop you have for your fucking podcast um the uh holy shit yeah because that that hadn't happened until yeah a couple a few hours ago yes carson wentz has been traded the bastard man himself has been traded to what team the washington commanders and uh yeah so that's fucking hilarious It is fucking funny dude I think it's hilarious I I just love how he made his whole

Big fucking stink about Getting out to fucking Indianapolis And this is a city that jives with my Values And nah motherfucker you're back on the East coast baby Hello again dickhead Yeah

You're gonna be in Philly twice a year motherfucker Or once a year whatever You're gonna play us twice a year And yeah Yeah What the fuck Come at us I hope he tries the evangelical food truck

And fails Specifically due to like a halal cart next to him that would just fucking yeah yeah yeah it's beautiful either like an ethiopian cart because man dc has is an annoying city but that's something that is very very very nice there to them yeah yeah there's a lot of cool different cuisines down there um yes oh my god um i think it's hilarious i i in terminal eagles fan brain mode and so i don't know if if my reaction is the same as maybe other eagles fans in your life but mine is let's fucking go i just want i want the want the sack compilation. I want the revenge sack. Yep. I want the compilation of him saying things about Indianapolis and then him

going to, um, DC and just getting clowned walloped. Yeah. By, by Eagles players. And yeah, it just, I bring it. I love it. We already know his weaknesses. Yeah, of which there are many. I mean, he literally played against half these guys

in practice. So good luck, Carson Wentz. Fuck you. And yeah, so I don't know if you have any other thoughts on carson wentz uh or other reactions fuck him right in his dumb goddamn face that's my reaction uh fuck him i mean fuck him right like that's my reaction yeah i i mean obviously cte has played a role but you're still an asshole like he was an asshole before that exactly

any time a Carson Wentz, Tim Tebow like I'm gonna wear my we know you're a Christian dude we get it cool it's the biggest religion in the country everyone else on your team is probably Christian.

We don't care. Does it make you interesting or a good person? I might have an ax to grind because when I was a kid and my mom went through an evangelical born again phase and me being a Catholic boy, that was jarring. Understandable. Because, well, you know, the differences between Catholicism and whatever that shit is. And so my mom would started buying me Sports Spectrum. Have you ever seen that? Yeah. Yeah. If you happen to be in your locally owned co-op bookstore, go pick it up and don't read it. Pick it up and don't buy it.

And just look through it because it looks like at first glance, it is made to trick you into thinking that you're picking up something like Sports Illustrated. Right. And then it's like immediately, why are these guys saying their favorite Bible verse? And I was like, Mom, I'm going to Catholic school. What do you want? Like, I already have to go to mass once a week. Like, I'm good. I take theology class, Mom.

Why? Oh, that's tough, dude. Yeah. So I have a particular ax to grind against understandable understandable and if you happen to listen to this and you're a lefty like christian like i have no beef with that that's actually pretty chill it's it's the evangelical uh shithead uh george w bush 2000 type fuckers i hate um okay you'd tell him yeah um you're a lot you're allowed to criticize it too liam don't feel like you're not no i i you know especially

as a jewish person uh obviously and being from a very protestant part of pennsylvania i've always been sort of very deeply uncomfortable with the the religious fanatics who then act like when a black player becomes quarterback they've lost the culture war oh yeah yeah no as a and as a jewish player as a jewish player uh of sports uh it was very uncomfortable when guys would like be like oh let's pray you'd be, I'm not doing that. Yeah. Yeah. Can you keep this one? Can you just say God and not say the J word?

You don't need to say either. Like, yeah, yeah. You don't have to say anything. Dude, we're three and nine. Like just imagining that like the supreme deity of the universe really gives a shit about your, your football team. It doesn't. Calvinism was a mistake.

That's the damn truth. You're not... You're just kind of magicking your way around the probable feeble instead of actually confronting it head on. So this has been the bonus episode on Catholicism and Protestants in part two, Tom's version.

So, so, so, yeah, let's let's talk about something else that we were expecting to happen is a matter of time. Which is and I think we're talking about the same thing here with Calvin Ridley. Yeah, let's talk about that. Yeah, so like I said, we were saying a matter of time until this happened. And Liam, what quite was that? Oh, are we going to talk about how the fact that Calvin Ridley gambled on his own team? Yeah.

On his own team. What. On his own team. What are you, boy, what are you doing? Yeah, yeah. What are you? Man, he's forfeiting $11.1 million, and he said he bet no more than $1,500, which, like, dude. Not a sound investment, my guy.

Dude, you just lost 11 million dollars like i feel bad i feel i feel bad for him just because yeah like i you know and i i i actually had this discussion with karen where i was like it's really fucking sickening to watch the nfl basically at best throw up its hands about domestic violence. Uh, and this guy gets a full season. I understand like by giving him sort of, but by throwing the book at him, the NFL doesn't have to examine its relationships with these apps.

Right. It doesn't have to like soul search about gambling. And you know, the only like Tom Brady got four fucking games for interfering with the sport if you want to go by that definition and he only even got that because of the spying like i understand that that gambling is severe but like to me it like four games eight games make him attend a class basically okay he'll never do it again. Right. This is insane. And he's a young kid, too, right?

Yeah, I think he's played four years. He is 27. He's older than I thought. But yeah, he's played four years. Five years. Forfeiting your entire season's base salary. But you show betting ads fucking constantly which we've talked about constantly constantly constantly it's it's it's literally ad nauseum at this point

it's impossible to watch it is literally impossible to watch uh a sports uh like a sports game uh i don't know what to say besides sports game sporting event there we go without fucking being bombarded by these ads to the point where they're on the lines are on the local news yeah and then you wonder why like a guy which would try it out like I mean

it's just ridiculous but it's like it's like man did they not tell you about like I mean it's a different sport but I thought kids grew up hearing that about like the Black Sox. I certainly did. You know. But, you know, the culture, the culture, you know, in terms of like has sports betting since it's been legalized. Again, it's like kind of just because it's so lucrative it's just thrown in your face and

at the end of the day all gambling that's not like you playing poker with your buddies anything that's like organized gambling it's not there for you to make money man you're the product the house to make money yeah yeah yeah you're the product um you're you are yeah you're just something that the house uses is that you're they they vacuum the money on your wallet your uh pockets while you walk in i mean it's i mean jesus christ you're too good at a slot machine or you're too good at fucking blackjack they kick you out like it's it's not there for you to win money dude and um it just it it it's so easy to gamble and it's so easy to lose money and i mean not only that but we have like arranged our economy around like a legalized form of gambling in terms of like securities and shit too right of course so i mean but man like the question is

is like is this going to affect anything to do with sports betting in the nfl like no no of course not i mean we might get some bullshit like know the rules before you gamble but they're not gonna fucking stop dude they're not gonna turn the money faucet off no so it's like it's like yeah you can't let the genie out of the bottle like it's it's or you can't put the genie back in the bottle once it's been let out right it's they don't want to no i mean they they don't want to like that's the honest answer they fucking don't want to the money the the the tired me now yeah but the money printer's going um that they don't care i wonder i really wonder how it works like is it do teams get a cut of the

total gambling profits or they just get advertising money that's why i wonder i don't know as far as i know in the nba i think they get a cut oh boy i couldn't tell you about the nfl yeah um yeah it's it's uh it's troubling because there's part of me it's like you know sports betting if it's illegal then you're kind of going to the bookie and or you're just doing informal shit right but it's not if you want to be legal it's not it's not anywhere near regulated enough like i'll buy that yeah yeah like maybe at this at the park you know like not at the baseball park but like a sports book

like off track betting or something yeah well like have you you've been to Ireland right yeah like how many other fucking you go down like any street any town and like three of the fucking shops is a goddamn off track betting place yep

why the fuck are there so many like fucking jockeys on the walls? And I was like, Oh shit, this is got it. Got it. Good. Don't I feel foolish? Yeah,

man. They, they really love that shit over, over the UK. Hell yeah, they do. Well, and Ireland,

it's not part of the UK. I do not attend that. Uh, Chuckie, our law. Thank you. Um, yeah, I do not attend that. Chuckie Arla. Thank you. I'll tell them that. Yeah.

I have a good... I have a very good reputation in the Republic of Ireland. Good. I'm happy to know that. Yeah. I'm trying to get back one of these days we'll see how it goes um and uh yeah no uh i i can't bring anything this time all right uh what's for the widows and orphans uh yeah exactly no man i just

we got nothing on temple i just it it fucking sucks yeah i feel bad for the kid so yeah i mean i mean it really is like kind of just like a dumb mistake and the the punishment while disproportionate is unsurprising based on what the league priorities are. Because they don't care if players abuse their partners. The only thing they care about is the PR. It's what Joe says. You can't fuck with the money.

Something like that runs a real risk of fucking with the money. Yeah. Speaking of money and people who are assholes. Baseball. Let's do a little baseball here. Yeah. Hey, did you get this Apple TV ad the other day that had something to do with baseball?

I'm not sure if you got it. No, I didn't. It said Friday night double headers exclusively on apple tv um when they partnered with major league baseball is there i don't know if you if if this had triggered any thoughts of your mind of uh um what double headers because um i thought we weren't having a season yeah i i don't think there's i think well so right now they're they're the first six games are going to be skipped okay so the first three the first two series right um so thanks for advertising apple um

cool i love to get ads for a sport that i can't watch yeah that feels great dude yeah i i love that um that's awesome i didn't i didn't check i don't know if there's gonna be blackout restrictions or not um i have to look into it but knowing mlb i would not be surprised if it had some fucking stupid yeah of course restrictions so it's like you like you're someone in Iowa and you can't watch like eight different teams. Yeah. So speaking of that lockout, which again, the players have nothing to do with. The owners could end the lockout any time. Right.

But they are talking again. Hooray. So that's good. There's two things I wanted to talk about with in regards to that um the second i'm not going to get super in i'm not going to get super in depth with these uh we'll have to we'll have to pull baseball to the front one of these days one of these days i'll make you let's do baseball first that's fine i did i did put basketball first because there's jack shit going on football-wise besides that.

So the biggest issue between the players and the league is apparently draft pick compensation. Okay. So the qualifying offer. I don't know how familiar you are with the qualifying offer. Not especially. So you get paid. If you have a free agent, you can offer, give them a qualifying offer. And if they reject the qualifying offer and leave the team, you get a free draft pick.

Okay. In the bottom of the first round, which, but that's baseball. So that's actually like a damn good pick. So it incentivizes you to kind of fuck with the player given the qualifying offer you know they're not going to take you know um if you if you're trying to get rid of them um cool that's like a shitty thing to do yeah now you can you can lose that pick if you sign someone else who rejected the qualifying offer so i think the phillies did that because they re when they let real muto go last year yeah and then they re-signed them so i think that phillies did that because they re when they let real muto go last year yeah and then they re-signed them so i think that canceled out but not sure i i'm like 99 sure

so so that's something they're working on the the the i think it looks like there is a draft lottery coming to like the at least the first five picks interesting yeah so that sounds that sounds like a good thing like you know sure just sort of fuck with the tanking shit um maybe pittsburgh maybe you will have a yeah i mean that's that's i'm fine with that just because tanking sucks and yeah you should have the team seized from you at some point as i've said yeah um and then the other thing is and this is something that we probably you know we could talk about more um at another juncture is this international draft which was so this was yeah i know so this was proposed right at their quote-unquote last best offer that they gave last week.

And the players are like, what the fuck? We didn't talk about this. Like you can't just throw this at us. And the owners clap their hands and then down. Yeah. And then did something unspeakable. Yeah.

Rob Manfred then practices golf swing and smiled. Um, I want to drill into that dude. Yeah. Yeah. I did do to anti like, he's like a labor lawyer but the wrong kind yeah um the kind that shouldn't be allowed to exist uh and won't in our glorious future yeah uh deleted the soviet anthem all right uh so right now i would suggest if you don't know what is going on in like the Dominican Summer League or the or even worse, like baseball academies in the Dominican Republic or in like other Caribbean countries, just take a look.

Just Google that and see what the conditions are like. It's like baseball plantation. Yeah, it's very fucked up. Gruesome. like it's like baseball plantation yeah it's very fucked up gruesome and david ortiz is kind of like a guy who being the probably the most prominent dominican um baseball player of our generation or the last generation i should say but he kind of like speaks up for these kids and you know thank god i was worried this was going to be at david ortiz runs these academies oh well i didn't i i don't know if he's involved or not okay they're league they're

usually league owned or at least team owned sure and like every team has kind of like a international sort of facility like uh like you know especially to make public which is something like 10 of the league is dominican holy shit really yeah yeah 35 are from latin america 10 in dominican that's dominicans dude dominican dominicans rock rocket baseball and and they they clearly have you know it's so strong in their culture that you know it's there's tons of great players coming out of there sure but um way it currently works is like you get scouted by teams and different teams you know try and court you to sign to their to their you know one of their academies and that's usually like a guy who's maybe not someone like a david Ortiz type guy usually doesn't come up that way. They go through the international free agent signing thing where it's like this big – there's like a pool.

Yeah, yeah. So – and there's a cap. But there's no real penalty. I mean there's like tax – like it's kind of like the luxury tax shit. There's penalties if you pay more than you should, but they don't really go after it. So that's where you see like kids getting like, Oh, someone signed to the Phillies,

you know, international for like $5.8 million. Right. And the kids. It's a pool. So yeah, we talked about that a few weeks ago, I think. Yeah.

Yeah. One of the guys was like, uh, what's his name? Uh, uh, brother or cousin, the Met, the Phillies like, what's his name's brother? Or cousin, the Philly's killer.

Acuna? Oh, yeah, Ron Acuna. Yeah. And the thing is, is this international draft is proposed by the owners who, of course, have marketed it in the most. You know, they're like wrapping it in humanitarian kind of shit. Like, Oh, this is going to be better.

This is going to be more equitable for them. But they've, they've capped like there's like, if you, so if you're not drafted, you can sign for a maximum of 20,000. So this is sounds like something that is a way for them to kind of cap what the teams are spending. Right.

From a owner's perspective, like, Hey guys, we're spending too much on these kids let's try prices down um there there might be there was a there was a pretty good uh long form article about this in the athletic with by ken rosenthal um i think it was evan drelj too uh and those guys are pretty decent when it comes to this stuff. They're not like owner shills. Right. They talk about the benefits and the, you know, there could be some benefits.

But David Ortiz came out and was like, hey, you can't, one, you can't just do this overnight. Like, you need to set up infrastructure for this and you need to get buy-in from Dominican people. Because if you're going to start trying to just draft our players, like, that's a big thing. to set up infrastructure for this and you need to get buy-in from dominican people because if you're going to start trying to just draft our players like that's a big thing like if if the the uh the baseball amateur draft that's only us us in canada and puerto rico like you can't like try and draft the kid out of japan like there's actually agreements there so it's almost like a weird sort of fucking colonialism like i was just thinking that yeah like or imperialism like where you are drafting another like you're you're our baseball colony

yeah yeah and that's basically like honestly if 10 of the players in the league are dominican that sounds like baseball colony to me you know um absolutely like like you can't just like draft cuban players right and like take them because and they have their own fucking system that that that works it's actually kind of interesting um where they uh they form the teams they form like a super league so like the best players from each region that do like a after the season's over they do like their own like super league it's just the best guys from every province oh that sounds sick yeah imagine like a 50 states tournament where it was like the best players from each state and uh or just region whatever and and uh that that fucking rocks but like so so they've managed

to save off this kind of shit the only guys who were able to come over from cuba are like defectors but and actually there is a more formal agreement now where players can't come over because they don't they want to be able to allow like some remittances to go back and stuff like that but yeah yeah fuck that like this fucking uh man i feel like every time we do baseball this is part of the reason i think baseball at the end it's like depressing because there's the owners are so shitty and we have had not like since we started this podcast 20 episodes now by the way i don't think we mentioned that at the top yeah we might have uh we haven't had any

actual baseball happening right for for uh for the phillies so it's all just been depressing shit yeah man like it's like going out on a fucking sour note but yeah um so yeah there might be some benefits i don't know i don't trust if your boss comes to you and says hey let's do this idea it'll be really good for us um run in the opposite direction yeah usually it's if there is a benefit to you it is by accident yep hell yeah it is yeah hr helping you by the way is by accident like they're there to protect the company not the company from lawsuits they do not give a shit if you live or die nope i promise so yeah that's fucking baseball um i it seems like there might be a has the sads

i mean i how many times i gotta put that in the fucking description i'm actually have the mads right now good yeah yeah i'm at the anger phase of grieving i i think we're gonna have a season i think they're gonna come to agreement in a week or two i i i seriously think they will and we might lose a little more we might lose some more games but i don't fuck it this one i don't care sure yeah whatever oh man so uh yeah i know you gotta you gotta get going so let's uh let's wrap this this thing up uh this thing yeah uh why is there no ice in the father judge crusaders gatorade coolers uh the guy who knew the recipe graduated oh that is that is spicy and uh i i was like oh yeah no that's

that's that's happened i saw that one i was like i'm gonna steal that one um credit to whoever fucking came up with that one uh i think that was originally making fun of old miss or something like that um so uh um so again guys thanks for listening um please call into our voicemail leave us a voicemail dm us on twitter our Our DMs are open.
