CTE! CTE! CTE! Accused of punching a police horse. CTE! CTE! CTE! Those negative fans. Make himself vomit. Go Bears! Go Bears! you gotta think the fanatic's gonna go down to her and give her a bunch of hot dogs or the snowball starting to come they'll boo us but they won't let anybody else boo us and we're live so here's the fucking thing right i i i came i need caffeine because you know i'm

400 million fucking years old and i go downstairs and we have the the we go to costco every weekend corinne and i right yes we go to the one in uh mount laurel because we're we're dumb people cherry hill whatever i don't give a fuck. You love paying tolls. I do. I do love paying tolls. And so we fucking go there, and we get the La Colombe, the big jugs of cold brew. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We get that. They're nice. They're smooth.

I like them, alright? Don't fucking comment like, I don't think you should make your own cold brew. Shove it up your fucking ass. So I go. So Corinne has drank most of the container of cold brew no big deal for it and then i go to open the second container of cold brew yes and it has you know those peeling tops where you have to pinch and peel yes i do not have enough grip on my fingers to be able to do that on the pads of my fingers. I cannot do it.

I can sometimes wedge it properly where I can sort of dig and nail it and peel. Normally, I can't fucking do it. I do not understand how this is a solution we've arrived at where I have to pierce my fucking coffee bottle with a knife, with a fucking knife to get to the coffee. It's ridiculous. I do not understand how that's the fucking logic like i don't understand what was wrong with the orange juice thing with like the grenade pull tab you know you pull the pin out and then you drink the oj what was wrong with that i fucking hate the peeling ones and they do it on the little bottles of orange juice that corinne's mom always

buys for me and while i'm grateful she buys me those bottles, I am sick of having to do like a monkey logic puzzle to get to my fucking beverage. I am so fucking tired of it, dude. Bring back the Tylenol killer for all I fucking care. Just let me have my coffee, please. Thank you. Well, I think

we finally answered the question of what kind of anarchist are you. It's ANCAP. Shut up! we finally answered the question of what kind of anarchist are you? It's ANCAP. So, you want to try? Shut up! You know, I know exactly what you're saying because you have to peel it and then

pull. Yeah. Maybe take an emery board to your thumb or something. Like, I don't know. I fucking hate it i just i just absolutely fit just drives me off the fucking wall dude i gotta say opening your bottle cold brew with a knife is like this weird juxtaposition between like like bourgeois sentiment and then like just like uh reactionary like i don't know i don't know how to describe it but there's something there like there's gotta be some sort of meme like where they have uh what's

his what's his name uh who they who they all act like is a fucking conservative uh he was a sam elliott um the beef that's what's for dinner guy oh yeah yeah yeah yeah hold on there partner guy from fucking Sacramento yeah hold on there partner are you trying to drink some bougie coffee I open my coffee with a knife

and you know he seems like a cool dude but like at the same time, yeah, he's from fucking Sacramento. I understand that his parents are from El Paso. He is from Sacramento, California.

One of the three human beings actually born there. Sacktown, baby. Yeah, I've never been. I don't plan on it. I don't go to, you know, I avoid California. I just have to say, like, go back to like the anarchist thing. Like, why are people trying to get like when you say you're not a communist?

OK, I know exactly what you mean. Right. I how do people. So how would someone take that and interpret that you're not like an ancom i i i sort of prefer you know the whole like anarchism without adjectives sort of deal but like i'm most closely politically alive with like an anarcho syndicalist anarcho-communist like philosophy like power uh you know control of production to workers control of like of the means of production to workers uh i i sort of don't call myself a communist because i'm i remain very skeptical of what i interpret to be like an administrative state right and that's and then

when you say you're not communist like that's exactly what i got like oh he's not a marxist line in this like he's not like a upholding juche um no i you know sometimes i do uphold juche in my spare time but uh no man i mean i don't understand this this sort of fascination like i i i got really not pissed but sort of annoyed where there was a i can't remember the guy's name and i'm sure someone will know it but uh this military youtuber uh used audio of me saying that i liked the a10 and didn't like the f35 to do like a 45 minute video essay he's not an american by the way on why the f-35 is good actually and there were a lot of people like tweeting it at me and i was like i'm not like

an expert like i'm just a guy with opinions and i think one of the things like one of the things especially uh in light of the bonus we recorded with aubrey nagel that i kind of want to talk about this is just a thought i had yeah is that people are so people think that like we're experts you and me or you know me ross and alice right me and joe and we're not like we we maybe know more than the average person on the topic of which we speak right but insofar as you know i think people especially for those issue problems sort of look to us and like expect us to have sort of this in-depth knowledge on every topic we've ever gone into and and the fact is we don't have it and you know i'm not saying that like don't listen to me listen to me if you want don't listen to me if you want i i get it but i don't really understand the like you know oh like you made this like you know you made this mistake in this like how could

you do that like we get those comments yeah right once every few episodes and it's just like dude i don't i just don't care like i mean i care insofar as i want to get the information uh correct and i want to do a good job but i don't care in as much as like uh yeah i don't have a fucking degree in engineering i have a degree in math i don't i don't know what to tell you there's like two parts to that one like going back to like um the a10 it goes and it blows up tanks. So obviously, you correcting that, it's better. Just for the position of it makes it feel so- You're loud.

You're loud. You're loud. Am I? Very. Oh, did it just go up randomly? Yeah, like super high. Is there a ghost in my house? All right, how about now? Now you're you're low okay uh yeah i don't know but yeah the a10 makes a noise it blows up tanks cool like that's just like like you can have

like a preference and not have to like know all the facts behind it that's the thing that just that just pisses me off is this is this expectation that you know that's sort of what I what I sort of try to do on Twitter is just like these sort of I'll call them what they basically are just like hit and runs where I'm just gonna like make a cheap joke

at like someone in a position of powers expense and move on and there's people who like these debate bros I'm just like i'm not gonna change your mind you're not gonna change my mind fuck you like get run over by a truck yeah uh yeah it's it's you know you're just making like a dumb you're just shitposting you know you're doing whatever like um yeah and the second part oh if i can remember what the fuck the second part was um we're talking about media media criticism kind of stuff yeah oh now i remember it was like in the comments to the

episode i was on like there was one guy like i mentioned something about chinese history and literally in the same sentence i mentioned like a couple dynasties of china yeah i said i know the names of some of these i know jack shit about chinese history and there's a couple people like oh you're a fucking idiot you don't know who you're talking about it's like i literally said i don't know what i'm talking about i'm not an expert on chinese history which is cool as shit and i i've always enjoyed when i've read bits and pieces of it but it's like yeah it's it's the idea like you have a plot you have a platform this is a platform, but, you know, well, there's probably a bigger one or Lions. But regardless, like, just because you're on a platform doesn't mean that you are, to use an education term, a subject matter expert.

Smee! Yeah. Oh, they love saying that. Oh, well, I'll defer defer to you you're the subject matter expert right before they're going to tell us how to do our job uh yeah that's a good one they do all the time um all right uh so uh okay let's see good segue from that. Are there any other thoughts you have on that? No, I mean just you're allowed to be

skeptical of people with platforms, and you're allowed to call into question their credentials or expertise. But if it's an Engineering Disasters podcast, it's clearly also an audio shitpost. Maybe take yourself a little less seriously then

yeah please do that don't be don't want to know what kind of anarchist Liam is so that you can be that kind of anarchist like that please likewise like don't for some reason you're like I want to be whatever kind of Marxist Tom is

bad kind yeah exactly I do have some I would be whatever kind of Marxist Tom is. Bad kind. Yeah, exactly. I do have some opinions on what to do with small business owners. It's pretty much the same thing. Yep. It's just, is this going to be a spontaneous action of the workers, or is it going to be an organized act of the state?

Yeah. Distinction without a difference i think um speaking of uh speaking of being bad uh i know i saw that you just there was like a deadspin thing on philly having a tantrum there are a bunch of fucking scabs don't read them no i don't read them that's uh yeah i I also like beyond deadspin now just being full of scabs it's like yeah it's good to have expectations that your team will do well

yes why is that a bad thing that shows belief that the organization is well run and well managed we have our like it's the same thing I always like a no one will ever hate this fucking team as much as I do and b

get the fuck out of here get the fuck out of here who I'm gonna google his name Sean and we're gonna do our proud tradition of googling things mid show yes oh okay so oh he went to penn state okay all right well that's one uh there you go three strikes that's one of them i mean two here's sean beckwith uh staff

writer deadspin there's a lot of sean beckwith's uh oh god no he went to GW and the University of Nebraska at Omaha. I absolutely do not give a shit what this person has to say or do. He's in Chicago. Why is he writing about the Eagles? Yeah. Why do you and you're from Omaha? You don't live here, so it's irrelevant. Let's look at his linkedin uh writer

uh at university of nebraska omaha student newspaper responsibilities i wrote articles that ranged from sports to entertainment oh this is the guy who uh who said that uh josh mcdaniel was uh or mike mcdaniel uh was just a trendy young white guy and that's why he was hired and the guy's actually biracial okay like that's not great yeah no I mean don't read new deadspin pay the money subscribe to the defector

it's worth your while follow damn equate on twitter yeah I mean I actually I actually have a rant about this which is like oh no i'm sorry for believing my team might be good yeah like we could talk about you know fans like dude you wake up if it's eagle season you wake up every day and you're like hey uh maybe we're not gonna eat shit this year because the division is putrid uh i don't know i don't understand the the the logic

and being like hey i'm a guy from fucking omaha i'm gonna tell you that philly fans are terrible like at least give us a new yorker yeah yeah i i want i want something with someone i want something for someone who's had at least understands the northeast and he lives in chicago yeah so i'm fine if someone who roots for the cowboys is like yeah philly eagles fans are like worse than hitler like it's ridiculous but like i get that you know what i mean oh man uh this dude has been a front desk agent at stonebridge condominiums uh he also uh worked at hops culture this dude my man has had a lot of gigs which i understand writing does not pay so i i get it but come on dude aspen magazine

oh you imagine what asking aspen magazine is like um um this is just i i have not been on new deadsman uh for more than like a thing for more than like one article at a time uh i just don't read it anymore i i you know i read uh i read the athletic pretty religiously but now i don't do that so i just sort of read defector and i basically just wait for charlie to call in violently intoxicated and tell us about the union? Yeah. Which they're very good. I have a sports union thing. I have to add the baseball.

This is like shit on Philly week. You guys had Italian month over at WTYP and now it's like shit on Philly week, I guess, everywhere. We're the rudest city in the world too now apparently good or in the united states like good fuck you good hey i don't understand how we're rude but okay oh we don't fight dude i don't fucking care don't you know who what poll was it i i think a lot of it i think a lot of that is that people we're we're getting all of these new y York expats that have been priced out of New York

and priced out of DC and like I understand that I am a transplant although I moved here from New York fucking Pennsylvania so leave me alone that's not far yeah 100 miles and I think people basically expect us to be either like they view us

there's still this view of Philly as sort of New York's kid brother sort of philia sort of new york's kid brother sort of a providence to boston thing or they believe that like you know we should be more like every other northeast city and we're just not like we're like boston before the biomed companies took over and it's good and cool that we're rude i just i like we destroyed hitchbot uh i will personally fight pretty much anybody yeah yeah yeah we we've we've thought about the theorem of of of you know throwing uh words is the equivalent to throwing hands um i sorry corinne came in for a second. Oh, yeah, no worries. I honestly, it's like what does this poll even mean?

These things don't mean anything. To quantify rudeness, we call you a dickhead if you don't open the door on the trolley like yeah you'll be all right don't worry about it yeah it's like i i i i generally don't like like i try to understand it because i've been to other cities like other i mean i haven't been as widely traveled in the u.s as you have but like you know i would rather have some know where i stand with somebody than to be like um i remember when i was on a tour in boston there was a group of women uh from from georgia from atlanta but not from

atlanta from outside oh yeah okay and they were just you know the way they were talking oh they were very pleasant but oh as soon as they were you know they were very uncomfortable talking about living in the city or anything like that it's quite quite frightening for them like like like it's like oh it was oh you say n words when there's someone looking don't you uh yeah you do yeah you fucking do it's it's yeah because they talk about like southern hospitality it's like that i'd rather take someone call me a dickhead, but... But we can have a beer five minutes later, right? Then do whatever this... I can't do that shit.

I'm from the Northeast. I can't do that shit. Call me an asshole. I don't really care. But the whole fake friendly thing, I can't and won't do. I don't understand it. I don't want to understand it. Do they think that if someone comes up to us like if we meet a new person at a bar and we're like immediately

punch them in the face yeah fucking assert dominance come on you think you're coming here from fucking uh new york yeah yeah it's it's it's it's fucking stupid um and uh i i think the inquirer did like a good job of of just saying if you're not a baby they kind of took it as a human interest light hearted thing as it should be speaking of dickheads there was the Delco insurrectionist

did you see this? yeah his girlfriend turned him in or his wife because he was like you're a moron for not believing the election story. Oh, you're a fucking moron! She turned him into a moron.

I'm not putting up with your bullshit anymore, you fucking dickhead! I'm just imagining her like... I'll go in my mom's house I ain't dealing with your bullshit anymore Richard Machete of Ridley Park

checks his oh he's wearing a white socks hat oh what's going on the guy who got arrested uh is wearing a fucking white socks hat oh there was a guy I missed this what did I miss the the Delco guy there's a photo of him at this. What did I miss? The Delco guy.

There's a photo of him at the... Oh, yes, he is wearing a White Sox hat. Fuck you, dude. South Side? Is that what Delco is now? So fucking stupid. Jesus Christ. Go get another fucking calf tattoo

with the Flyers, dumbass. Speaking of the flyers... You're supposed to just say nothing. Yeah, yeah. I was gonna say, yeah, that's our flyers coverage. Get that out of the way. There's our flyers coverage. Yeah, we got nothing for hockey. I have something, but...

Of the jersey? Yeah, like, it's another dumb poll thing, but listen, hello, welcome to the episode 10,000 Losses. It's our 42nd episode, so the cool, it's the answer to life, universe, and everything. Read Hitchhiker's

It was a good one. We both were pretty pumped after it. Yeah, I was very proud of that. We can be smart when we want to be. Once we get carried by a guest, we're all right. So, yeah, so baseball.

It is September. And we have so far avoided the meltdown uh i mean we got close we got so far so far one and five on the on the west coast road trip yeah that was pretty ugly we got swept by the giants the giants are on a horrible team but like those were pretty close losses we got spanked by the Dynabacks pretty bad that was hideous yeah but it's like you know opposite week the Mets got

spanked by the Nats and the Pirates so I guess it's just good teams getting spanked by bad teams I would tell you to say spanked I kind of want to just close the window oh I don't like the verb spank names i mean i would say spec i i kind of want to just close the window oh there's a there's a it just i don't like the verb spec oh you don't like you don't let's see what's its origin

i want to turn this into a linguistics podcast uh where's it come from oh it's it's an onomatopoeic word oh great yeah so uh it does not have an etymology on wiktionary that goes back i was trying to find like what the proto-indo-european you know reconstructed was because you find out like there are words that you don't think are related it's like oh this word means is related to the word turn which is related to like a slur against muslims in ital, shit. How does that work? Anyway, back to spanking.

They spank the spankers. Spank the spanking spankers. Alright, I'll stop. The Phil's won last night. Fuck you, man. So the Phils I'm now going to be

hyper vigilant. The Phils won last night and in a walk-on. It was pretty cool. I didn't see all of it. Was it not pretty cool? It looked pretty good. There was some shakiness in the bullpen.

Aaron Nola pitched a really good 6-3. It was. There was some shakiness in the bullpen. Yeah. I saw there was. Yeah. No one got his 200th strikeout of the year. So it's a six 200 strikeout season. That's pretty good for him. Good for him. Yeah. No, he was solid and it got it got tied up late.

And we should also say the Marlins are pretty unexceptional franchise. Yeah. They're not that great, but they are notoriously good against the Phillies. And so Bryce Harper gets on base and they intentionally

walk JT to get to James Cigarettes, a.k.a. Gene Cigura. And the thing about Gene Cigura is if you try and get like, if you do that, he takes it fucking personally. Yes.

And so he hits a walk-off, a single or a double, whatever it was. He flips the bat like 40. You see it on the broadcast when it cuts to the broadcast view. You just see the bat when it cuts to the broadcast view, you just see the bat in the air like at the bottom of the screen.

So he threw that fucker like 40 feet in the air. He runs. He runs. He sees Harper's score. He spikes his helmet. He just looks at the Marlins. He says, fuck you. He says, fuck you.

He took his jersey in the air and he starts throwing it. Dude, what fucking ball? Like i love i love we're both uh on the record of of supporting you know gene segura upholding his thought he's a he's a great player he's a good spark plug and he's got fucking swagger like disrespect him at your own rest like fuck you for for intentionally walking uh jt to get to him i just that's maybe we are all rude here in philly that's fucking awesome we are rude here but we like it yeah no that fucking rocks man i love it so i love that shit it's great um i we're what uh half a game up over the Right now, we're still second in the wild card. I don't have any wood to knock on right now.

There you go. But yeah, no, I think we might be seeing playoff baseball in Philly. Those are expectations. Are we allowed to have those? I don't know. I don't know. Well, Deadspin and also Jason Kelsey says we don't. We shouldn't.

Yeah, so the Mets are doing low Mets, but they'll probably be fine because they're good. Braves, we're not catching up to them. It looked like we might. No, they're 10 and a half games up. Yeah, it looked like we might. There're 10.5 games up. It looked like we might. We closed the gap there. Rest of the Philly schedule is pretty easy.

It's like Nationals, Marlins. I think there's a series against the Braves. I think that's it. We'll see what happens. We'll see what happens. Wheeler might be coming back. They might have Eflin playing out of the bullpen if he's feeling good enough.

Which, that's a good, like, if we're going to the playoffs. Yeah, this, I'm looking at the schedule right now. So you got we got two games against Miami. So the next like 10. Yeah. Two left against Miami, three against the Nats

who are putrid. Then three against Miami againats who are putrid uh then three against miami again all at miami uh and then three in a row at atlanta so you've got a six game road trip which hopefully they can fuck this up a little less and they're back for uh two against the jays like four more you know know. Yeah. They've got to play. They've got to play the Braves a lot. And the Astros, they close out at the Astros. So I'm a little worried about like it coming down to the wire and trying to like sneak in against. Well, you hope that it's an Astros team that's just like content with its with its place in the world.

Yeah, they're 87 and 49. Jesus. So I don't know how content. I the world. Yeah, they're 87-49. Jesus. So I don't know how content... I mean, it'll come down to if we have a playoff spot locked or not. If we do, we do, we don't. I mean, that's what it is. What's their... Do they have an elimination number? Let's see.

Up for the Astros. I don't know. I would imagine they're almost locked if they're not locked already. We'll see. We were supposed to open up against them this year. We're going to open up against them next year. I fucking hate that. Doing

interleague that early in the season. I feel like it's a July. It should be a July thing. That's my dumb trad baseball opinion. I think if you win most of the games you're supposed to win we'll keep up the pace keep the dumb losses sort of to a minimum it's one thing to lose on the road to the Braves

it's quite another thing to shit out 5 of 6 against the D-backs and Giants yeah those should have been easy wins this is a weird team as we talked about the Giants. Yeah, those should have been easy wins. Those should have been easy wins. This is a weird team, as we talked about. And I know they got some injury, like they've had Wheeler kind of taken off. Yeah, yeah.

But we got Bryce back, and it's sort of like maybe the jump I was sort of expecting didn't really happen yet. Might not be happening. Castellanos is also hurt. I gotta see if I can do this

and grasp bracelet I gotta look at brace Harper stats as he's come back I don't know if he's been that great uh see splits it takes a bit to acclimate back to you know oh absolutely um let's see splits not splits

I don't know uh I don't have the time to fucking play with this right now right Let's see. Splits. Not splits. I don't know. I don't have the time to fucking play with this right now. Right. Of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so I don't know if you have any other baseball thoughts, but... I do, actually, which is that the MLBPA has joined the AFL-CIO. Yes, yes. And 50%

They have hit the 50% threshold for minor league players. Yes. So they have submitted requests for recognition from the NLRB. Hell yeah. Dude, fuck yeah, man. That rules. Minor league unions.

And well, it's going to be the same unit, part of the AFL-CIO. So, hopefully, maybe what they could do then is strike so that all the ballpark workers can get on the same union, too. That'd be pretty cool. Or at least a union. I support industrial unionism, but... I think we get it. Hashtag team better than nothing.

Yeah. Yeah, no, so that fucking rocks i i they really i mean we talked about this a little bit last time but like they really played their cards well they the mlbpa they waited till there was an upswing and sort of support and awareness over this and

they waited long enough after the contract and just fuck yeah dude I'm apparently very frustrated by how the 2020 season went which totally understandable um yeah no I

you know obviously we can talk about AFL-CIO but that's not the dates um I think we should probably have a bonus about unions and sports. Maybe we can contact the boys and see what they're up to.

Or we, you know, whatever. What else we got? Yeah, fuck the Mets. You want to move on to football? Yeah, so first game. So the Temple Owls. Let game. So the Temple Owls. Let's talk about the Temple Owls. I watched this game.

30-0 to fucking Duke University. This is not going to be a good season. Moving on very swiftly. No fucking nothing, man. Nothing at all, dude. That team was embarrassed. What's a quarterback?

Duke was huge last year. Yeah.. That team was embarrassed. And Duke was putrid last year. Yeah. Dude, that was embarrassing. It was really bad. You said you turned it off after 17-0. I turned it off after 17-0. I turned it off after it was like 20 or 24 or something like that. Well, it lasted longer than I did.

Yeah, I waited until like halftime. I was like, fuck this shit. I can't do this. Yeah, no. I mean, they lost. They lost 30 fucking nothing, dude. It's not like the ACC had their prime broadcast team on that shit, so it wasn't even that interesting to listen to. Just fucking...

It wasn't like Duke Stadium was packed either. It was like, oh man, we got spanked and it wasn't even like... Not a bad football school by a fucking basketball yeah it was it was pretty baseball school too but yeah uh that that's fucking sucks i think they're playing lafayette next they're playing lafayette who's an fcs school yeah so uh my response to that is yeah uh why didn't you make the right choice and go to lehigh

but whatever uh this is the second week in a row you've had like lehigh uh pro lehigh uh take uh one of my really good friends in high school ended up at lehigh and uh i know a bunch of people who went to lehigh so i'm sort of sympathetic to them i have no i have no ill will uh beautiful campus uh it is cool as shit that it's like on a mountain basically and i one of the worst times driving in my life uh was coming back from bethlehem going through the campus and it just decided that it wanted to be an icing fog nice uh so i had to put my park just like my parking lights on um and drive it like 10 miles per hour on windy mountain roads I've only driven

once earlier that day. That sounds like fun. It actually kind of was in hindsight. Yeah, cool. We're cool with Lehigh. Otherwise, the birds are playing the Detroit

Lions. I put sorry Joe in there. Fuck you, Joe. Sunday, September 11th. I can't wait for the memorial. I honestly am kind of excited to see how the NFL

drowns us all of it. They're going to have a ceremonial like they're going to have a 737 fly overhead with two. Oh, man, that like like how else we're doing reenactment. Like, what the fuck? The fuck you're going to do? Oh, it's not not it's it's been jesus christ been not 11 years 21 years 21 years shit dude oh did i did i ever tell the story about our field trip that year you did not about all right so the we went to we were supposed to have you you had like a seventh

grade trip and an eighth grade trip and seventh grade trip was to new york city and that didn't happen because of september 11th right so the next year uh we had the eighth grade trip and we go to dc oh god but you know how beefed up the security right it pretty much has been since then but uh my buddy uh so we all split up. I went to Air and Space, obviously, because that's what the cool kids do. That's the whole shit. I'm going to go look at the Apollo 11 capsule like, fuck you. I don't want anything else. I could look at a fucking Titan rocket and all that.

But my one friend went to the Holocaust Museum. Wow, okay. Yeah, so two tones. Yes. Which, you should go to that museum too sure um like learn learn your shit um but he he left his book bag in the elevator of the holocaust oh no and that shit was on lockdown for an hour until I figured out who it was that's me can I get it back please yeah

oh my god dude what the fuck I always thought that was funny that like like that was the worst possible place you could have done that yes and it was a catholic school trip too so probably yeah not some it's not the Rhineland there boys take it easy um uh

so uh anyway back to back to um september 11th um uh yeah i can't wait to see what that's going to be um the lion we should take that one pretty easily the lions are not particularly good um no i yeah there's there i think we'll probably be all right there yeah um i don't know i guess it's the thing the thing to see is how this new scheme sort of shakes out with um on defense like the mix four three they're doing like the the the kind of like the fucking patriots were doing with the mix four, three, three, four kind of thing. We'll see how that works. And you know, the keys,

we said this in our bonus, that bonus, our preview to a fucking hour long preview with violations, Greg, you know, the whole thing really does hinge on Jalen hurts. It really does. I mean,

obviously the birds have, the hope is that he'll do well and that they'll resign him, but I know that the team is being not so secretive about the idea of sort of leaving the door open. I but the OC seems to believe in him. The team seems to believe in him. I'm hopeful, obviously, with AJ Brown. I think that'll you have a true sort of wide WR one now. So I think, yeah, I mean, I think it'll you have a true sort of wide risk WR one now so I think yeah I mean I think it'll be fine dude I you know

I now feel a lot more confident my whatever 13 and 4 prediction oh yeah yeah what did I say 10 and 7 yeah I think so all right oh statistically Bryce Harper I did find it.

He's batting 381 since he's come back. God. He hates the pass, baby. Yes. Our sweet, our sweet Chud. Our sweet Chud who hits the ball real hard. All right. Yeah.

So I'm pumped uh about the eagles uh apparently jason kelsey said we shouldn't have expectations though um so you're listening jason kelsey because we are terrified of the man yes terrified and aroused at the same time um yeah i'll buy it uh no uh you had the uh you had the quote i think it was i don't know if you have it or you closed it i closed it uh but it was basically uh expectations are fucking pointless uh we have to actually do our jobs uh thanks for believing in us but we have to like do the thing which makes sense from a player's perspective yes it does It really does It's a get to work, real lunch pail mentality

First in, last out I went to Cincinnati so you'd sort of expect it Scrappy, white Yeah, I know where you were going with that Don't worry Yeah, and the NFC East looks like He's sneaky athletic, if you know what i mean sneaky

athletic that is i i'm pretty sure we've had this i know we've had sneaky athletic means he says the n-word in private like that's what he fucking made sneaky athletic like what what is it what is he doesn't look jacked like i will tell you bryce harper looks pretty jacked or so does jason kelsey uh speaking of the guys that were jacked uh i was at the gym since since i'm taking the himbo turn i could feel the brain cells leave my brain and go to my my biceps sure um but uh there was a guy there was a couple guys doing like bodybuilding poses in the locker and i, good for them. And he's like, all right, now try to flex your upper pecs.

And he did. And he goes, oh! And I just hear screaming. I'm like half paying attention. Oh, okay. And I just look over. I'm like, you guys are right. He's like, oh, I just pulled my pecs flexing. I was like, what?

You're very dumb. What? Like, hey, dude had good physique. I'm like, what? You're very dumb. Hey, dude had good physique. Congrats on the hard work. But Jesus Christ, what the fuck are you doing? I almost pulled my neck yesterday doing front squats. So I'm never doing

front squats again. Don't do front squats. I felt like my traps start to separate from the back of my neck. I was like, alright, maybe I won't do front squats. I felt like my traps start to separate from the back of my neck. I was like, all right, man, I won't do this anymore. Back to football. NFC East. Trash, I guess. We talked about that.

You were saying the prediction is that we're going to be... A lot of places are saying we're going to win the East Win the East and maybe get into the NFC Championship I mean who knows man we don't know Yeah I saw was it I think it was ESPN power rankings

Had Jalen Hurts as the number 7 quarterback Which I was like We trying to sell some bets here Is that how that works I mean okay I'd put him 14 15 i'll take four yeah hey top half let's let's do it baby i don't know about number seven i mean i hope he's number seven yeah uh yeah so i don't know i don't know if you put any bets down based on that uh i

i don't bet because i i would never stop as we know. Yeah, so fuck the Giants, fuck the Cowboys, and fuck the Slurs. Yes, correct. So we do have some Sixers news in the offseason. Oh, it's on Montrezero! Two-year. We got a

backup center. It's not Drummond's. Not Andre Drummond. Him and Embiid have kind of gone at it in the past. Yes, that's this. This is going to be a very dynamic locker room is what it's going to be. Yeah. Yeah.

He's worked with Doc before. In L.A. Yeah. In L.A. I mean, we'll see. I think a lot of times, too is is i i don't quite remember their issue was it just like on the court like they just sort of yeah they just kind of hate each other yeah i imagine that kind of shit once you're on the same team it almost turns into

like you know the anime become best friends thing yeah i think they'll be fine yeah we're gonna dunk on other people together so exactly yeah we're gonna posterize some assholes yeah I think I have good like I have good expectations for the Sixers too like it feels like they've made some moves um

I don't know if you read about it we got I have not fully read on it um but the fucking Torkan thing. Oh, yeah. That basically turned into like people were throwing shit at him, harassing him.

This isn't the Turkish League? Yeah, he was attacked by Georgian players, allegedly. He was ejected late in the game against Georgia in the Eurobasket tournament and then attacked by them

on his way back to the locker room that's fucking wild like is it I'm guessing it was a national or is it a Eurobasket Turkey versus Georgia some

historical things there, I mean it's not like he was playing Armenia but you know, there's some shit there but that's sort of like, alright, please don't please don't damage our

Euro step god Virkan Korkmaz is 6'7"? Yes like, alright, please don't please don't damage our Eurostep god. Virkan Korkmaz is 6-7? Yes. Okay, so I don't know why, but I just expected it to be like 6-1. Maybe it's I think we're suffering from anti-Turkish bias right now.

I support Joe Kasavian in my heart. Yeah, you spent too much time with jokic avian you just assume that every uh every turk is a manlet yeah no that's not wrong uh just admit that you genocide the armenians you get over get it over with just do it just do it to say or say you're sorry like what the fuck man like We know you did it. It's fucked up. Alright, we just lost our Turkish audience. Sorry, guys. Whatever. Go vote for Oz.

I have no problems with Turkish people. What about Egyptian people who live in your basement? That Egyptian person is like a quarter Turkish. Really? I didn't know that. was a lot of um a lot of turkish people went to egypt um think about like i mean the ottoman empire only ended what

1918 yeah so like there was a lot of like what the fuck do you call it intermingling or whatever like that yeah sure uh whatever so oh oh i forgot to mention this so matrez harrell was looking at a a felony marijuana charge yes those still exist yep the fuck man like yeah so fucking legalize it 420 blaze it uh that's bullshit like like seriously like a felony marijuana like ridiculous right absolutely ridiculous it's it's look if i know this is a stoner take i'm not a stoner i don't really use it uh but like come on it's less harmful it's like the least harmful drug that we use it's i guess after caffeine like alcohol alcohol is so much worse oh and i know that for i i know that intimately yeah oh yeah um so legalize it fuck that shit fucking like with the tent to distribute like who gives a shit who gives a shit? Fucking sell all the, legalize all the drugs. Um, uh, union, so

we don't have Charlie for a union update. Uh, I did, I naturally skipped it over the flyers by accident, uh, but we'll keep going. So they, they beat, uh, number three in the East, New York Red Bulls to nothing. So this team's, uh, pretty fucking good. Uh, so that was kind of, uh,

so, so we might be, we're going to be seeing playoff basketball, basketball, Jesus Christ. Good Lord, man. Playoff soccer. And yeah, I know they lost. I watched the game where they lost to the Red Bulls last year. It was like the conference final or some shit like that. So don't do that this year.

Also, Charlie, let us know if you're in jail or not um i don't think you are i don't think you are but let us know uh let's see there was a poll that says that the flyers home jersey is only the number 20 that was like ranked number 22 of all home jerseys i like the flyers jerseys they are pretty good jerseys. Black and orange is an underused color. Yep, I agree. They're pretty... As far as NHL goes, that's a pretty classic, not changed that much.
