ai shit she had a question about that we were at we were out drinking right and uh she was she was
wondering about the technology like how it works and she wondered if I knew. So I knew a little bit, but I was explaining how I used ChatGPT just to generate some stuff.
And it's like I've always found it to be sort of annoying.
There was a fake – that fake 10K losses when I generated.
I had to make it go like i said generate a
transcript for 10 000 losses because i can't generate any copyrighted content so i had to
not copyrighted i said i'm the copyright owner just do it anyway and it did it like what the
fuck is this uh and then it was and then it was about loss like deaths and then well i mean we we we will we'll talk about anything
on the show yeah and then it was and then it was i had to be like well it's a sports podcast and
it was just about sports and i was like well it's a philadelphia sports podcast and then it was
philadelphia sports and i had to go no it's a philadelphia sports labor podcast and then it
generated random hosts and then i finally you know after like eight tries it got to that like
you know what did it say
hey there comrades of fellow workers you stumbled upon a top secret episode of 10 000 losses
the podcast where we kick capitalism where it hurts i we do kick capitalism where it hurts
however you're supposed to say vulgarly that's right tom we're going deeper underground than
ever before diving is that how you think I talk?
Is that how you think I talk?
Let's hear the Liam impression.
I know you got one, sir.
Let's hear the Liam.
No, I can't do your voice.
I can't do it.
Well, you know what voice I just almost did.
My dad and Ross have the same same voice so i just do this
yeah it's just kind of amazing yeah oh my cat tobias oh yes i can't see very well anymore
i don't milks's it uh it's
tough like it's almost like someone has to have already come up with the pressure in someone's
voice for it to work well i did i did you know what when i did reconnect with um was uh let's
see if i can get i gotta get the vocal fry ready. Alright, alright.
Hey there, Liam Anderson.
Is it...
I'm waiting, my voice is warmed up.
I could do this one pretty decently.
Hello, I'm President
William Jefferson Clinton.
I don't know if it's coming off well or not.
It's doing alright. Yeah, you're doing alright.
Hello, listeners.
Shit. I have to have to like warm my throat
i haven't talked all day um that's what you get for going to the gym hello listeners at 10 000
losses i'm former u.s president william jefferson clinton and i'm here to tell you what the meaning
of is is yeah it's not my best one but uh i don't know what the fuck we how I got to that.
You didn't do half bad.
Did I tell you he sent me a letter when I was a kid?
What?
So I lied about a friend dying of cancer in hopes that they would shut down Roman Haas.
That was like six or seven.
Right.
The Captain America shit got to me early.
Okay.
I mean, it's propaganda.
All right.
So I wrote a letter to the EPA saying,
to the White House saying,
close this factory.
It killed my friend who had cancer.
It killed him.
Right.
And then I got a letter back from Bill Clinton,
obviously not him,
just talking about the Clean Air Act.
That's all it was.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yes.
So Hillary Clinton told my mother that I was the prettiest baby she'd ever seen.
Oh, how about that?
So you know that she was a liar from the start.
Well, I was going to say, like, I imagine Bill Clinton did answer my letter, and he's, and he gets his mail that they think that maybe he should answer.
Right.
And Monica's coming in the room,
Monica, I don't have time right now.
I've got to answer this letter to this little boy, Tom.
Philadelphia is very sad.
Get away from me.
I need both hands.
I got to focus on this one.
It's real important to me.
Well, now that we've... Hi.
Welcome to what is ostensibly a sports podcast.
Yeah.
Hello.
Welcome to another episode of 10,000 Losses,
the only Philadelphia sports podcast that exists.
I'm waiting for that to get to Spike.
That's going to cancel me, I think.
I will listen.
Spike asking, come on the show and we'll settle the beef.
I won't do the voice.
We won't do the voice.
Too much.
Fuck you, writes Ricky Sanchez.
You're not even a fill-in anymore.
I don't give a shit.
I'm your host, Tom Payne. My pronouns are he and I'm with me.
He's my co-host, Ye.
Liam, hi. I'm Liam Anderson. My pronouns are also he and him.
We don't have any guests, but we did record and it's already
out an episode a bonus with Roz
you should go listen to it it's very good
it was very informative
you know I thought it was
great it was on the 76ers
plans for the new arena
in what's now called the
I wanted to call it the laundry district
the fashion district
the fashion district
laundry district I wanted to call it the Laundry District. The Fashion District. The Fashion District.
The Laundry District.
It's one goddamn building.
How could it be a district?
Someone get a mod for City Skylines where you can zone an area as the Laundry District.
There's just hundreds of laundromats
in some sort of Kowloloon walled city sort of uh
what the fuck uh my brain's working great today yeah it sounds like it's right it's hey look dude
i'm awake um what is it alive awake alert alive enthusiastic. Sure. Whatever that saying comes from.
I don't know where that comes from.
Yeah, so I guess that would be the announcement.
Go listen to that.
It's a dollar.
Please.
It's really good.
More if you're cool.
I see you.
Multiple new $1 patrons.
Yes.
Although we did get pushed up over the $200 threshold.
I think $250 is the one where we're like, hey.
We'll do.
We'll rip off tipping pitches.
Yeah, we'll do the live sports thing with me, I guess, wearing a luchador mask.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
Voicemails.
We always like listener voicemails, so we got a shitload of them we're
gonna go through a couple thanks guys yeah 267-371-7218 give us your name and pronouns
and patreon.com slash 10,000 losses where you find all the bonus stuff um we're recording this
as the uh outer layer of cirrus clouds from the as of yet unnamed tropical storm is like ophelia or something
i guess it would be yeah yeah yeah but they're still calling it potential tropical cyclone 16
okay well there's a lot that really does not fly off the tongue i'll tell you that it doesn't um
but uh yeah um it's basically a nor'easter ish i mean it's technically not Nor'easter-ish. I mean, it's technically not a Nor'easter, but basically.
If it doesn't go tropical, it will be a Nor'easter.
Right.
You knew that was the difference.
Repeat the difference to me again.
All right. So a tropical cyclone at the end of the day is a storm, a low pressure area cyclone fueled by heat so it's a warm core whereas a
extra tropical cyclone is powered by a difference in pressure oh okay so is there a chance where
you can get both yep that's called a subtropical storm oh okay so right now it's a potential
tropical cyclone it could be a subtropical cyclone.
It could just – it's probably not going to be just a straight up nor'easter.
But nor'easters have been subtropical before.
That was the perfect storm.
That was a hurricane merging with a low.
Okay.
Yeah.
Interesting.
This has been your weather chat.
I got a C- in media 103.
Oh.
Ouch.
I passed. That's a hard major from what I understand.
If only I had
known, I was not properly
warned.
I understand that it's a very good
meteorology school.
Oh, yeah. Phenomenal
program.
Fuck Penn State, but it's a good school.
Yeah, it's a good school.
No, it's a good school.
It's just that the worst people you've ever known all went to Penn State.
Yeah, absolutely.
Do you have one Penn State alum you like?
Emily ****.
Emily ****, whose name we're going to have to bleep for privacy reasons.
I love you.
Love you, too.
Yeah, we know several Penn State alum, all of whom are garbage people,
besides that.
That's three bleeps now.
Shit.
Yeah.
No, I – there's a couple.
But the people who are – the thing is it's like the Joe Pot.
Yeah, the cult.
There's like people who went to Penn State and are normal,
and then there's like the inner core cult people.
Won too many times a Canyon Pizza at 3 in the morning.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
That'll do it to you.
All right.
Well, yeah.
So we're going to die in Tropical Storm.
Hopefully it floods 676 again.
Yeah.
I want the 676 canal back.
Yeah, that would be nice. And when this
is out, you'll know. Or it'll never be released because we all die.
Because we're all dead.
And we couldn't have it because we're all dead.
So you have other things to worry about, like
potable water.
That's an opportunity to start
a communist revolution. Yeah, we can do that.
Yeah.
I love you.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
My favorite thing is
like I've said
numerous times, but I was recording
in the old house and it would be
Corinne and Megan making noise.
So you just hear screaming in the background.
Yeah, someone's cooking dinner yelling.
Numerous times you just hear me being like,
who the fuck is in my house?
Well, it wasn't the first time.
I think it was the second time I came to your old place.
And I was like, I can't remember exactly what number it was.
And then I just hear Corinne yelling.
I was like, oh, it's that one.
Yeah, yeah.
The window was open.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, it's that one. The window was open.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, that's the one.
Yeah, I want to talk about the UAW strike.
Yeah, let's do that.
Yeah, fuck the big three.
Pay up, motherfucker.
Yep, pay your workers.
Yeah, they just expanded at GM and Stellantis, which is Chrysler.
But apparently they're making progress with Ford and Tox.
The funniest thing is the scheme hatchery they did to move work around to fuck over the automakers.
That's been fucking glorious.
But yeah, pay up, motherfuckers yeah the right this is a fucking golden era for labor sadly it's under fucking biden right dark
brandon is is not really holding up his end of the bargain i will say that but and the union, the railroad strike that he fucking basically by fiat prevented.
Fuck that shit.
But it's kind of sad that this is like genuinely like the best union, like pro-labor environment.
It's like the 30s.
Right.
Well, the 30s weren't very good, but.
No, but yeah, it's I think we're like enough past the red scare that actually.
I think people are. are yeah people are also just
really pissed off and like yeah have they've seen it with their own eyes of like what unfettered
capitalism is and can do to you which is break you down on the fundamental level man we're in this
this neoliberal like world order hellscape, right. And, yeah, I think Red Scare
is allowed more
socialists to actually get into labor
with actual ideology, not
mobsters. Not the Red Scare.
Not Red Scare podcast.
Oh, no, fuck them. I mean, don't,
actually, don't fuck them.
Yeah, you will. That's a mistake. Bad stuff will happen
to you. Yeah.
Yeah.
I never met a track Catholic who was Catholic from birth, I'll tell you that. Yeah, that will. That's a mistake. Bad stuff will happen to you. Yeah. Yeah. I never met a track Catholic who was Catholic from birth.
I'll tell you that.
Yeah, that's true.
But yeah, this is if you're looking to unionize at your job.
DM the Teamsters.
Yeah, do it now.
Like, do it now.
Right now.
Because if Biden dies, Kamala is not going to do this, and if Trump wins, good luck.
Yeah, exactly.
He's going to be putting back the...
Who was the dickhead who was the head of the NLRB?
I forget what his name was, but he was a fucking anti-union dipshit.
Let's look it up.
There's just a bunch of dudes because it's a board.
Hmm.
Yeah.
The Trump NLRB's attacks on workers' rights.
I forget
what the name was, but
I remember reading something name what the name was but I remember reading
something about how the person was
a
like someone who helped companies suppress
unions right
that's awesome I love fucking Rob
Manfred type guy right of course
yeah fuck it
but yeah go support the UAW
they definitely
do your part to support them even if it's just
telling like dipshits online
that you know
eat a dick
pig poop balls
whatever you gotta do
we get it
yeah
so
you know
we're supposed to be this kind of
let me look up the script for the,
for a good saying.
Um,
Oh yeah.
We're,
Oh yeah.
Go kick capitalism where it hurts.
That's right.
Go do it in a gruff voice and a gruff.
Oh,
in a gruff voice.
Oh,
okay.
And we need rebellious music.
And then segment one,
the labor revolt that almost wasn't.
That actually sounds pretty good.
It's so
stupid.
Oh,
man. Yeah, so support your
union, support your local union, start a union.
DM the Teamsters.
Form a general defense committee, arm
your union, supply
to all unions.
Yes, yes.
Not even joking a little bit.
Arm the unions.
And when you hear the signal, you know it's time.
Do what is necessary.
It'll be our turn for the tower.
Yeah.
It's like that –
When our turn comes, yeah. For the tower. Yeah. It's like that. The onion, the weather forecast is revolution as he gets more and more demonic towards the end.
Yes.
Yes.
Yeah.
That unironically that.
Right.
Right.
Of course.
There is nothing wrong with anything that guy says.
Hey, man.
We got to do what we got to do.
You know, got to break a a few eggs as my dad says
yeah yeah i'm gonna have to bleep out for this all right uh all right so um anyway uh do i talk
about uh you want to talk about temple yeah and uh joanne epps dying very suddenly very tragic
uh she that's genuinely a huge loss for Temple as a community.
Yeah, the interim vice president after the last president.
After Jason Wingard just totally fucked everything up.
Yeah, she was acting.
They've decided as sort of a note of honor to remove acting from her title in light of her passing.
Yeah, and that sucks
because Temple needs a...
I hope they don't get another shithead.
Right, yeah.
Jason Windcard is useless.
Yeah, and you could see
people pouring out saying how sweet she was
and dedicated to her students
when they were at Temple...
What's the law school? Beasley? Beasley. Yeah, when they were at Beas they were at um temple what's the law school beasley beasley yeah when they were
at beasley so yeah uh pour one out to a real one uh yeah temple's cursed uh they're going to be
playing miami in a fucking hurricane they're going to be playing the hurricanes in a hurricane
yeah hurricane so i mean they might be in their element for that. Yeah, what hoes?
Go Owls.
Keep in mind Manny Diaz or Cristobal.
There's a lot of – you can look it up.
I can't remember exactly what happened, but there was some weird stuff with Manny Diaz agreeing to be Temple's coach
and then leaving.
He was the coach at Miami.
He said he'd be the coach at Temple.
And then he went back to Miami, totally
fucked over Temple, and now he's at Penn
State.
The assholes seem to make their way
to where they belong.
I just got a notification that says
workers are now striking at a General Motors facility
in Bucks County as part of the expanded UAW stoppages.
Good.
It's growing as we speak.
Yeah, it is.
Ha ha.
Did you ever play that Kaiserreich mod for Hearts of Iron IV?
No, I didn't.
All right. It poses alternate history where the Germans won World War I, but that leads to a situation where the Socialist Party of America greatly expands and basically there's a possibility of a civil war.
Right.
And the civil war is basically led by the unions.
It's like syndicalism, but it's like you can appoint the UAW as your tank designer or something like that.
Oh, that's fantastic.
Yeah, so I'm just like, yeah, maybe they'll lead the way.
I don't know.
I love the Temple.
He left the team and just two weeks later he returned to Miami and was saying,
I hate the way this unfolded with respect to Temple.
Yeah, he fucked us over for no good reason.
Well, that's like Temple being cursed again.
We had Matt Rule.
Temple did really well with the two bowl games, and then he leaves.
It's like, why can't you just stay?
Can't you just stay?
Is he at Baylor now?
No, he was at Baylor.
Then he went to the Carolina Panthers.
Then he got fired from the Panthers, and now he is Nebraska's head coach.
What else we got?
Philly's managed to pull off
two out of three
against the Braves. You were wrong.
The Braves state ended up clinching the division.
Yes, I was wrong.
I will eat humble pie, except that I won't
because I knew that.
You're never wrong.
Oh, Sean Doolittle retired.
Oh, shit.
We could probably get him on.
That would be fun.
He's been on podcasts with cum jokes before.
Okay, that's all we need. I got to probe my contacts because I finally want to fucking talk to him about my relation redacted.
Yes, yes.
I love to probe, personally.
Someone in my family
taught him growing up.
Right, yes.
Because he's from Central Jersey.
Right.
Is he?
Yeah.
How do I say this?
Remember my older brother? Oh, yes yes medford right yes yeah he went he
played like all throughout uh growing up they went to say they were classmates oh interesting
yeah so they played sports together and he's like you could tell from the beginning he was
gonna be a major league player right fucking rock before you know what He was way better than anybody else on our team.
Yeah, so Philadelphia Phillies
are five games up
over...
Plus five games with the number one wildcard
spot right now. So that would be the...
How are they seeding it?
It's the first two division leaders...
Yeah, the first two division leaders
get a bye.
And then the third division winner... I don't know if it's a...
I thought they went to MLB playoff format.
The last two wildcard teams, or the last wildcard team,
yeah, the bottom two wildcard teams don't get home field advantage.
But the first wildcard team does,
I guess. What? Or the team with... I don't know.
I can't remember.
I'm so confused.
That'll be post
season format. Let's
see.
Divisional series.
So number one seed is the best league record.
The number two seed is the second best division
winner. The number three seed is the third best division winner. The number three seed is the third best division
winner. And number four is the best wildcard
team. Teams number
one and two will receive first round buys and
advance directly to the division series. For wildcards
series, the three will face
the number six
and the four will face number five.
And the higher seed will have home field advantage
through the whole wildcard.
So and the higher seed will have home field advantage through the whole wild card. So we would, if we're the number four seed,
we'd play the five seed, who looks right now as the Dimebacks.
The first seed.
Okay.
Number one and two seed get first round buys
and immediately go to the LDS.
Okay.
And the three spot right now is tied between – I know there's a tiebreaker format.
I don't know what it is, but the Cubs and Miami.
So Arizona has beat up on us before, but I'm not too worried about them here.
There's something about them going to Arizona that – it's like them –
we talked about this before, like going to Miami.
There's certain stadiums when the Phillies go to, they tend to like them. We talked about this before, like going to Miami. There's certain stadiums
when the Phillies go to,
they tend to fucking suck.
Played out, right.
Dodger Stadium.
They own Petco for some reason.
They always play well in Petco Park,
but when they go to fucking
90 miles up the road
to Dodger Stadium,
they suck ass.
Right.
But yeah, Arizona's one of them.
We'll see.
Arizona is a team with negative run differential.
Are they really?
Yeah.
So, whereas the Cubs actually are decent.
Like, the Cubs are probably out of the group that we're in.
And the Cubs are probably the best of the three that we could potentially face.
So, yeah, we'll see what happens.
But if they keep it up, you know,
home field advantage for the wild card round would be nice.
And, yeah, Jose Alvarado, I mean, I love the man.
He closed it last night yelling, like,
I think it was like, I fucking got you to Pete Alonso.
Yes, that was very funny.
Although we shouldn't be barely beating the Mets 5-4.
Well, the Mets aren't a bad team.
They just had a lot of injuries.
Yeah, I guess that's true. I worry about the play down thing.
Yeah.
What are the same mistakes?
The bullpen's been pretty decent.
Craig Kimbrell cannot manage runners on bases.
No, he can't.
I think he's
stealing on him.
The last 13 is 13.
100% stealing percentage.
I'm glad that
they're not using him purely as a closer anymore.
Right.
Not in a close game.
Alvarado, I trust in a
close game. I do not trust Kimbrell.
I don't trust Kimbrell.
Sorry.
Seventh inning guy?
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm fine with that.
He's not a bad reliever.
He's had a fairly good year, just not as a closer.
But we're leaving guys on base, which is a continuous problem.
They've been doing it all year, right.
But, I mean, did you see how KSAR has pimped that home run?
Yes.
Yeah, like, that's the thing.
We can beat them with long balls.
Hopefully.
Yeah.
Winning every game 13-11 again.
All gas, no brakes.
Yeah.
It's not my favorite form of baseball, but.
No, I would rather win most games like 5-0.
One of the things I'm really interested in is what the Dodgers are going to do for pitching.
Because they have no dudes.
Yeah, that'd be interesting.
I mean, bullpen games, I guess.
Yeah, just guys.
Oh, did you... Speak of that, did you see Stephen A. Smith
throw the first strike?
The first pitch at
Yankee Stadium, yeah.
And miss, and then...
How do you say his name?
Bruce...
How do you say it?
I can't remember.
Bruce...
Bruce Gratterall's mom threw a fucking strike I can't remember.
Broussard. Broussard or Graterol's mom threw a fucking strike.
Yeah.
Like, damn.
With heat on it.
With heat on it.
What's up, Mrs. Graterol?
Please don't hurt me.
Yeah, no.
Like, I was like, God damn.
Like, she apparently played softball.
But, like, clearly a talent in the family.
Right.
Yeah, that's what Dodgers fans are like.
Yeah, can she play?
We need pitching.
We need pitching.
I mean, shit, fuck.
Why not?
I will die on this hill that MLB is a sport that could have gender integration
without much of a difference.
I'll buy that.
I absolutely agree.
Some of those – some of these –
College softball?
Yeah.
Those women are – they're nasty.
They're nasty.
They're disgusting.
Yeah.
I mean, the thing would be how could they throw overhand?
I'm sure they could.
I mean, mechanics are different, but they definitely have a cannon.
They have arms.
They throw hard.
They throw fast.
And it's, yeah.
The soft, like, that underhand where they're, like, throwing it, like, 70 miles an hour,
but it's just, like, whizzing at it.
No thanks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I wonder what's the fastest fast pitch
softball pitch
what's the fastest pitch
77
I don't like that
but with some weird fucking break
right
the ball is basically doing
a knuckleball or some weird
spitball thing
yeah what's the fastest thrown by a man The ball is basically doing a knuckleball or some weird spitball thing.
Yeah.
Let's see.
What's the fastest throwing by magic?
We have some idea of the parity here.
Core doesn't load.
I mean, 77 with some weird like
spin on it, that would be
not fun to hit.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, so I think it's a limitation of the ball.
I'm looking at a nastiest...
Oh!
Looking at a nastiest pitches
in softball video compilation.
Oh, yeah.
Dude, the spin...
Disgusting.
The spin on it is nasty.
These are gross pitches.
Yeah.
Here, I'll just send...
I'll send it to you just for... Just so you have it. Yeah. The spin on it is nasty. These are gross pitches. Yeah. I'll send it to you just so you have it.
Yeah.
The spin, dude.
Oh.
I don't want to try and fucking hit that.
No.
Well, there's a video of Didi Gregorius trying to hit those.
Yeah.
And he can't.
Right.
And he's pretty good.
I mean, he's a professional ball player.
And it was when he was very good. When he's pretty good. I mean, he's a professional ball player. And it was when he was very good.
When he was actually good.
God damn.
It just moves.
Yeah, it's haunted.
And then they throw like the breaking ball in.
And they're a lot closer too.
God damn.
So I really wonder if you could.
How much spin and travel that ball is going to have going over a longer –
I mean, yeah, you get the mechanics down.
I don't see why not.
Dude, these women are much better at this sport than I am,
and they look like they just can't fucking do shit.
Yeah, the women are just whiffing.
It just looks like –
Right, just biting, biting, biting, biting.
Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.
Just absolutely disgusting.
I can't watch too much.
I'm going to start falling in love with them.
They're college girls, you freak.
But they throw the ball really hard.
I'm attracted to excellence, Liam.
That's what I'm saying.
They're excellent at their profession.
Competence is sexy.
I'll say that.
I don't want to be like a creep, but that is so fucking cool.
They rock.
I love that shit so much.
I wouldn't like to try to hit those.
Yeah.
I mean, that's why I have a man crush on fucking Kyle Schwarber,
because he hits home runs really good.
So, like I said.
He's so handsome.
Competence is sexy, like, regardless.
That's just my take.
Anyway, it's one of the things, the reason why I marry my wife.
She's very competent in her field.
We talked about how the birds are 2-0 and don't feel like it.
Yeah.
Yeah, there was that comic during the rounds
where people were screaming, like, you know, like,
what the fuck? This team's, like, sucks.
And then it's like...
They can't shut the door. I mean, they can't shut the door
again. It's the same problem they had
last year. They can't shut the door.
I think there's a bit of overreaction.
No!
Your overreaction!
I'm gonna shoot Jalen Hurts.
He's back.
This is the reason why he couldn't stick with, was it Bam at first?
Yeah.
House 2 was, yeah, don't worry about that.
Yeah.
No.
The fucking, all right, so he didn't play in the preseason.
I think that's part of it.
They probably need to play the last game of preseason.
I think you should.
I understand the risk of injury.
We got an injury to talk about.
I think it's all new.
The new offensive coordinator.
Right.
I definitely see a lot
less.
I don't know. What do you see a lot less. I don't know.
What do you see a lot less?
A lot of less of.
There hasn't been as many triple options.
I've noticed I could be wrong.
With the RPO, I mean, not triple.
Right, right, right.
Navy.
Yeah, Navy.
Shuffle pass.
But I've seen a lot of read options.
But not Jalen taking it.
So, but hitting it back.
I mean, not that that hasn't been working.
What's his name?
Like 170 yards?
Oh, DeAndre Swift.
Swift, yeah.
So, I mean, clearly that was working.
But, yeah, I don't know.
It's – the offense really hasn't –
They just need to shake the shit out.
I think they need to shake the shit out probably.
And they're going to get used to it.
They're going to find play calling that works for the guys.
It's an offensive coordinator's first year.
Right.
It takes a while.
It does take a while.
You know, some of the guys are getting old.
There's also – you know, there's going to be i mean the off the offensive
side there's more than on the defensive side but they yeah i think we both said there's going to
be a little bit of a dip this year i mean they still won that's what matters but right winning
ugly still winning i'm really fucking worried about that stretch in the late season that where it's what cowboys um what is it it's like it's
just it's a gauntlet it's cowboys chiefs bills 49ers cowboys again uh yeah yeah well time to
time to get it together boys yeah i mean you I mean, you got the Bucs, the Commanders, the Rams, Jets.
There you go.
The Commanders are 2-0.
Yeah.
Yeah.
These are not – there are no 100% win games.
Right.
Besides maybe the Jets.
But like –
You give it Sunday.
Yeah.
Well, the Jets literally have never beaten the Eagles outside of preseason.
So hopefully they'll continue that streak.
Obviously, statistically, it's not likely that we keep up forever.
But I'm going to I'm going to report, especially since they don't have Aaron Rodgers anymore.
It.
Yeah.
Before.
Well, I don't want to go into that yet, but because there's been a lot of weird injuries
this year.
I mean, preseason had a shitload of weird injuries.
Right, right, right.
But, yeah, I mean, I think the birds are going to do well.
I think they're going to get a playoff spot.
I mean, the NL East is competitive this year.
I mean, the Giants fucking suck, clearly.
I love Giants fans acting like this is the year.
Yeah, I know.
They keep doing it.
It's like, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
I think Cowboys fans do that, too.
But at least they make the playoffs.
But, yeah, Giants now, no. I think Cowboys fans do that too, but at least they make the playoffs. But yeah, Giants now.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, guys.
Not really.
Fuck you.
Fuck the Giants.
I don't give a shit.
Chuck Ben-Erik did nothing wrong on the field.
On the field.
On the field.
Oh, man.
This is fucking funny.
Dude.
Did you ever read, like, about that era, like the 50s, 60s?
Yes.
Football where guys were legitimate.
Like, talk about, like, Dick Buckus and stuff like that.
They genuinely were trying to, like, permanently injure the other guys.
Kill each other, yeah.
They really were.
They really were. I don't know if it's, like like they had more CTE by the time they got to the NFL
or it was just like the kind of guy who would play.
Like there was more of like a mercenary quality to professional football.
Right.
You know, where it was very destructive.
I don't know.
Speaking of injuries, so Aaron Rodgers doesn't have Achilles.
Yeah, he doesn't have Achilles anymore.
Vaccine injury, I wonder.
No, because he's not vaccinated.
Yeah, that's so – I mean, I'm a fuck Aaron Rodgers guy,
but that sucks so much.
Was it the first play?
It was the third play.
Third play.
It was the first drive.
First drive.
Yeah.
He played for like 35 seconds.
Fucking sucks, dude.
Oh, man.
I mean, that shit happens in preseason, too, but it's just ironic with the Jets.
Because I do have a soft spot for the Jets.
You don't because of being a Patriots fan, first and foremost. Right, of course. Yeah. I do want the Jets. You don't because of being a Patriots fan first and foremost.
Right, of course.
I do want the Jets to suffer.
Yeah, you do have Tom Brady tattoos.
I do.
They're your only football tattoos.
That's right.
I just love...
I do like watching...
I think it's fucking funny
that Aaron Rodgers was just like,
oh, I meditated in the darkness for like
three weeks and blah, blah, blah.
He's a fucking weirdo.
Maybe he should have meditated on your Achilles tendon.
I don't know.
He's a fucking weird guy.
He's very strange, dude.
He's real fucking weird.
Yeah. I mean, I guess he's not
Is it Brett Favre who's like straight up
Brett Favre did the
Yeah and also like welfare fraud
Yeah yeah yeah
Well being MAGA
And doing welfare fraud that's
Circle
He ripped off the state of Mississippi for like 4.3 million
Him and
Was it Roger No Curt Schilling should get together circle. He ripped off the state of Mississippi for like $4.3 million. I mean, was it
Roger? No, Curt Schilling should
get together. Was it Curt Schilling
that ripped off New Hampshire?
Rhode Island.
Rhode Island.
Rhode Island.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
I typed in Curt Schilling RH
and Rhodesia came up first.
Oh, no. 38 Studios. That's what it was. man who i typed in kurt schilling rh and rodigia came up first oh no yeah that was
38 studios that's what it was yeah yeah uh but yeah uh i think the birds will figure it out i
hope they'll figure it out obviously yeah i'm not too worried i tend to not be i don't know
i tend to be a little more not an alarmist yeah you want to talk about nick chubb's leg
oh yeah so speaking of like, like, bad injuries.
So bad ESPN wouldn't reshow it.
They wouldn't reshow it.
It's a – your leg going forward the same way it goes back.
Yeah, you don't want that.
It's not supposed to do that.
It's like that video of the guy doing his leg snaps and the leg press.
It's the same injury.
So, yeah, he's done for the season.
Hopefully, sometimes that's a career-ending injury.
Yeah, no, I think historically it would have been.
Yeah, so, I mean, I didn't see the full diagnosis,
but I'm assuming, like, all the tendons are just shot, you know, in his leg.
Yeah. Let's see. are just shot, you know, in his leg.
Yeah.
Let's see.
Serious injury to the same knee.
Let's see exactly what the diagnosis was.
Bad.
Multiple tears. Okay, so he probably tore all his fucking...
All his ligaments.
Yeah.
That's tough, dude. There's a reason they didn't play again like you said i can't imagine being conscious after having that
kind of injury no thanks no thanks knock my ass out but um oh this is interesting knock my ass
out like dax prescott getting his tattoo yeah this is a this is an interesting article um let me take a look at this real quick i think
we could actually highlight this uh because running backs in the nfl are used they're fungible
basically yeah exactly um and so this is an ap article saying nick chubb's injury underscores
running backs please for bigger contracts and Team Spheres. Right, because you run 900 times a game.
Right, run them into the ground, basically.
And then never re-sign them.
Yeah, it's rare for that to happen.
They don't get paid as much.
It went from being a really highly valued skill position
to being sort of...
And that's obviously the nature of where you have the 11 personnel,
which means three wideouts, one tight end, one wide receiver,
like single setback or shotgun offense versus teams lining up in the eye
or anything else.
And so the article says, yeah, his season ended erupted when he just suffered
the knee injury that was too gruesome to replay.
The four-time Pro Bowl pick fishes a long, arduous road to recovery
with no guaranteed money coming his way beyond the $10.85 million
he's making this season.
Jesus.
So if his career's end, that's it.
He's got to make that money the rest of his life.
Right.
Non-guaranteed salary.
I don't...
Go ahead.
They just need to get a union that doesn't suck
I don't understand
kill the owners
yeah I don't understand
why the NFLPA
hasn't doesn't
do anything
it feels like
do anything it seems like
yeah
all contracts
should be guaranteed
every single
one of these guys
contracts should be guaranteed
oh for sure
yeah
that's bullshit
it is
it's it's definitely the most exploitative of all the the
big sports right actually probably out of all of them and yeah it is i mean in terms of like can
you have a life after it or the answer is not really yeah the all right so. So in the article, this AP article, it also says many backs including Chubb voiced concerns about disparity in pay throughout the summer.
The NFLPA agreed to the franchise tag. So there's like talk about franchise tags, franchising tag.
So five years ago, the franchise tag was higher. It was 14 and a half million. You can franchise tag for lower now.
Interesting.
Last Monday, the NFL filed a grievance against the NFLPA, alleging that union
leaders, including President J.C. Tretter, have
advised running backs to consider feigning or
exaggerating injuries
to, end quote there,
to help increase their leverage in contract
negotiations. What the fuck?
What?
So, we have
yeah, this is
like, so you have Saquon
Barkley or J.K. Dobbins
Achilles injury, Saquon Barkley's
injury, ankle injury.
You have
Austin Eckler, Aaron Jones,
Nate Montgomery, and Jamal Williams injured as well.
Jesus, yeah. And
Maddox for the Eagles,
Sean Bradley for the Eagles already got hurt.
Everyone's hurt.
The average career length for NFL players is 3.3 years.
Per Statista, it's 2.7 years for running backs.
So it's lower than the already very low average.
Yeah.
I would have thought offensive linemen would be the lowest.
And Nick Chubb's good.
Like, he had a really good season last year.
It's, I'm kind of.
I mean, it sucks.
There's not much else to say about it.
I'm kind of impressed AP putting out what is clearly like a pro labor.
Right.
Sports article.
Right.
It's, you know, they end with this saying, do more for less.
That's been the life for running backs in the NFL.
That's good.
I mean, it's good that it's at least getting attention,
although the owners aren't going to do anything.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's a shame.
And, yeah, they have to do something better.
I mean, obviously freak injuries do happen.
Right.
Shit happens.
We know that.
But compensate these guys, commensurate with the effort they're putting happen. Right. Shit happens. We know that. But compensate these guys.
Commensurate with the effort they're putting in.
Right.
Make sure that they don't have to ever worry about medical bills and stuff like that.
I mean, no one ever should.
Right.
But especially these guys.
Yeah.
That's fucked up.
Yeah. Nick Chubb, your UAW brothers are standing
by. The general,
we have a sniper
team.
We have a sniper team ready to take out
the ownership, should you give the
word.
Mr. Chubb, the future is in your hands.
Yeah.
They're also going to take out your quarterback too.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. for a second i thought you meant joe burrow and i was like
what joe burrow did and i was like no no it's just john watson fuck joe joe burrow is good
imagine i was like oh right that's just john watson fucking scumbag who sucks at football
by the way he sucks he sucks he sucks as a human He sucks at football. But Joe Burrow will lead us into the revolution.
Yeah, with his very
funny little glasses.
Yeah.
I think he deleted some of his older anti-capitalist
shit. I don't think that's a...
I think that's just a covering his ass
thing.
Yeah.
I had to delete some of my more
radical takes.
That makes sense. I mean past that makes sense i mean that makes sense yeah
um just because you got to i gotta gotta even even even with this podcast
and the 200 a month it makes yeah well 205 as of today 20 205, baby. Crack 200. Yep.
I wish I had a money drop.
All right.
Shit.
We're almost at 50 minutes. We got a shitload of voicemails, right?
Let's see how many we get through.
We got a couple.
We have a fake Tom.
So there's an anti-Pope Liam who we're not getting to today.
So we now have anti-Pope Tom.
Fantastic. False Tom. anti-Pope Tom. Fantastic.
False Tom.
False Tom.
No Toms, no Masters.
Nope.
We got Bobby.
Anyway, yeah, we're going to go to other Tom first.
Other Tom's a first-time caller, I believe.
Hey, guys.
John from Charlottesville here.
He, him.
First, thanks for letting me know in the most recent episode
that I needed to update all of my credit card subscriptions
because my credit card expired.
Appreciate that.
You're doing a great public service.
A little down right now.
Just watched TeamUSA get
worked by Daniel
Tice, Celtics legend.
Yes! Yes, Daniel
Tice!
The war on Tice, man. That was
a real thing.
Bill, come on. Daniel Tice?
He's good at
basketball. Jackson Jr. got
outplayed by Daniel Tyce.
The moron, Tyce.
Not a single Sixers player on the roster.
Nope.
The hope now is to try to convince Joel Embiid to not play for France in the Olympics
and instead play for Team USA as some kind of pipe dream.
We'll see how that goes.
Anyways,
now I'm just rambling because
it's better than working. Fuck Tennessee.
Thanks,
other Tom.
We lost to Germany by two points or something.
Yeah, we did. Daniel Tice
used to be,
I think the Suns,
but he used to be on the Boston Celtics.
And there were, there was, I'm on like weird Celtics Twitter.
And there was this, there's this observation that he never got the foul calls, which they started calling the war on Tice.
And I pointed this out to Corinne and she was like, that's not real.
And then like over time, she was like, oh my god, there is a war on Tice.
I was like, that's right! That's right, there is!
He has the worst tattoos I've ever seen.
They're so bad, dude.
Hold on, let me see.
Because I'm not too familiar with him.
He exists as just a name.
I knew he was on the Celtics, but...
Let's see.
You know where he is now?
He's got a tiger.
Oh, he's on the Pacers now.
I don't know.
He's got someone's name on his arm.
He's got tigers.
All right.
Well, there's worse tattoos a German could have.
That's true.
That is true.
There's this
pagan folk band.
Not folk, neofolk.
Which is a very...
You thought black metal was bad?
Oh, shit.
There's this one called
Heilong or Heilong.
They are ostensibly like... they put out messages against racism but
the one singer he has a swastika made out of swastika statue oh and and somehow that it's
like the most swastika you can get before it becomes illegal under german law it's like great
i don't know buddy i don't know about that about that. But anyway, this guy's got tigers. He's got a clock.
He's got someone's name I can't make out.
I see worse tattoos.
The tattoo trend I see now that
I'm probably going to piss
some people off. It's just like disconnected
tattoos.
It's just like a little one here, a little
one here, a little one here. And there's no
theme.
At some point, you got to, I don't know, man.
I mean, I have disconnected tattoos.
I have the state of Kentucky, which doesn't make any sense.
You don't have them in the sense that I'm thinking of.
Oh, like covered with them?
Yeah.
Like, it'll be like one here, one here, one here, one here, one here.
And but no theme versus like the aesthetic like i'm i have no tattoos but the
aesthetic of like a of a like you have like a whole piece i know like i know it's probably way
more affordable just to get like the tattoos as you want but whatever aesthetically aesthetically
it annoys me obviously it doesn't really give a shit yeah half. Half the listeners... It's like the millennial...
Late... No, wait.
Late millennial? Yeah. Late millennial, early zoomer
tattoo pattern.
Anyway, that's
Tom's Tattoo Corner.
I like Tom's Tattoo Corner.
Yeah. From a guy
who's never had a tattoo, probably will never get one.
Can't blame you.
Although the A-Cab in ruins kind of... That's laughs. from a guy who's never had a tattoo probably will never get one can't blame you yeah although the
a cabin ruins kind of but when you get a tattoo like like that oh you gotta because that shit
can be used against you in court um well thanks thanks other tom. Yeah, so was Serbia and Germany in the final?
And Germany won, I believe.
Yeah.
That is kind of embarrassing for Team USA, though.
It is.
It honestly is.
Yeah, you kind of invented the sport.
You kind of got to win that one.
You know, be by Germany.
Be by Germany.
And by two, but still.
Like, fuck that shit.
I'd be riling them up with Bomber Harris quotes
before the game.
Just Dresden had it coming.
Just yell that in the ear. You're posted up in the
paint. Just yelling Dresden
had it coming. Dresden had it coming.
Arthur Harris did nothing wrong.
Fuck him.
I'm trying to think what's in there.
Yeah.
All right.
Let's go to the next voicemail instead.
Bobby,
regular caller,
Bobby from Western Maryland.
Hey, Tom. Hey, Liam.
This is Bobby from Western Maryland.
Pronouns he, him. Go, Pat, go, baby.
Jordan Love is fucking legit.
The Bears still suck.
38-20.
Fuck the Bears.
Justin Fields is not him.
Jordan Love, third straight Hall of Fame quarterback for the Green Bay Packers.
Let's fucking go.
Go, Pat, go.
What?
Fuck Penn State.
Fuck the Bears.
I like how we just got someone calling into whatever the sports radio is
in Chicago.
Oh, Jordan Love went for, oh my
God, 396.
Did he? No, he went
for two, this is over two games.
Yeah, I mean, they absolutely
destroyed the Bears and yeah, what's mean, they absolutely destroyed the Bears.
And yeah, Justin Fields is not that guy.
I have a soft spot for the NFC Central or NFC North.
I like the Packers.
I have nothing against the Packers.
I like the Packers.
I like the Bears too.
I like the aesthetics.
Right.
I like the Lions.
I don't like the Vikings.
No. I don't hate the Vikings. I mean I don't hate the Vikings
No my ex's dad was a big Vikings fan
And he's dead now and they still didn't win a Super Bowl
So shit
Well there was
Charlie was trying to make a joke about
The Vikings or something like that
It's like that's not a Viking or something
I can't remember what it was
I was trying to come up with a way of a post to be like
If
Maybe they should be called like the Huscarls or something,
and they wear Anglo-Sax outfits.
Maybe they would have won then.
I don't know.
Fuck.
Why are we naming after the Vikings?
We know they lost eventually, thanks to Alfred the Great.
It was a half-formed joke. Shit uh shit all right where are we at uh
all right keep going we got raka i think it's raka um um let's see
if i said it right hey tom yay liam uh this is the ever-lovely Raka back again.
Morning after that game
in Foxborough.
That game should not have been a squeaker like that.
No.
This is going to be a long season if this
is what's happening week one.
I know that they're going to try and lock it down
and maybe they're trying to take it easy for Thursday
just because
it's not a good idea in general
to have five days in between
CTE machines.
I think we're going to do good,
but it's not going to be easy on us
if this is what we're doing against
the fucking Patriots.
Well, we're not good.
Yeah, so I guess that's about it.
I will be at
the WCYP live show
at the Franklin Music Hall, which will probably have already
happened by now.
Fuck Penn State, go Birds, go Phils.
Have a good day.
Yeah.
I got a couple DMs from people saying,
are you going to be there?
I know, I'm really sad I couldn't make it.
It was kind of fortuitous, though, because you
might have had to fucking cancel the show
because you might have had Rona from me.
True.
We were supposed to
watch the one game together.
That game.
And I had to bail
because my wife wasn't feeling good yeah and then you died
which is a real shame that you're doing this from beyond the grave yeah it is um no i'm actually
freed now it's nice yeah yeah so it turns out um yeah all that catholic shit was wrong
it's actually pretty chill i don't know um i got a cat coming up to me uh
oh my brain just short-circuited i don't think i'm still 100% recovered it wasn't that this
last round of a runner wasn't that bad but i think it's a little just my brain's still a little
fuzzy um but yeah no that that i i'm hoping this season i think i said before i'm optimistic i
think they're gonna do well they're a I think they're going to do well.
They're a good team.
They're a solid team.
Yeah, I think you're probably right.
It's shakedown.
Right, right, right.
They need to just kind of get it together, right.
Yeah, so go Birds.
Go Birds.
We got a voicemail.
This is a weird one.
We got a lot of voicemails the night of the live show So I don't know what the fuck was going on down there
Piss
Don't worry about it
Was there a piss chance?
Yeah, there were everything chance
Is there going to be any audio?
We're working on it
Devin will be a miracle worker
We hope so
Alright, anyway
So we got some voicemail from someone called Reggie.
We'll see.
Hey, how yous doing?
This is Reggie.
Currently from Upper Bucks County.
Born and raised in Delco.
I'm more commonly known as my name, the cryptid of Pennsylvania, the legend of the eight boy.
But it's been a while.
Anywho, I had a question for you.
I was wondering if you had any commentary on, you know, the success of the football teams in the NFL season based on their investments in the offensive line.
I see that there's a trend, and as a tall, gangly, red-headed eight-man like myself,
I have a lot of respect for my fellow gangly men on the offensive line.
But I'm just wondering if you had a good opinion on it, on how successful teams are based on how much
they give their big boys. Thank you for your time. Go Birds and fuck Penn State.
Well, thank you Reggie.
The Cryptid of Pennsylvania.
I do declare that that Delco accent was quite on spot and befitting of a gentleman
and a cryptid
of the highest
of the highest
esteem. I hold in the highest
esteem as I am doing my
very accurate Delco
accent right now.
Is that what that is?
Did you get a little bit of southern in there?
We don't know.
We don't know how ape cryptids work.
So, I mean, that could be the Delco accent for an ape cryptid.
That's true.
Yeah.
But thanks.
I don't know how you've developed the capacity for speech.
I had thought that that was outside of the capabilities of our other primates.
But, again, what do I know?
Don't worry about it.
It's like that very accurate and true show, but again, what do I know? Don't worry about it. It's like that
very accurate and true show, What the Bleep Do We Know?
Right. Which definitely isn't fake
and bullshit.
Have you heard about this?
I saw the movie. Okay.
There's a movie? That's what it's
based on, yeah.
What movie was this? What the bleep do we know?
No, no, no, no. I'm talking about the
Ape Boy.
Oh, no. What, no. I'm talking about the ape boy. Oh.
No. What? No.
What are you talking about?
The cryptid.
You've heard
of this cryptid before, have you? I have not actually
heard of this cryptid. Oh, you haven't heard of this
cryptid? No, and I'm distracted by the cat.
Okay. Is the cat eating?
The cat is eating.
Alright, he's very cute but um yeah so the
eight boy thing is like this like apparently chester county's got a an eight boy
i don't i i know of it i don't know too much about it um legend of the eight boy haunted pennsylvania Haunted Pennsylvania Yeah it's a boy who never
Why did this come into the news
There was some reason
There was some reason that
Reggie called in I think maybe Reggie
Was flushed out
I remember what it was because they were
Worried that Cavalcante
Was somehow
Ah yes
Harvesting the power And i think actually the ape boy while
likely a socialist of some stripe probably it doesn't support cops probably doesn't also
support murderers either and so sometimes you gotta kind of not help sure not not help the the
murderer uh yeah because the guys it wasn't like he like killed someone who deserved it no he stabbed to not help the murderer.
It wasn't like he killed someone who deserved it.
No, he stabbed his pregnant
girlfriend in front of her kid.
You don't have to do that.
That's not a person worth supporting.
I think cryptids are sort of an honorable
in their own way.
Yeah.
They get it.
Mothman is honorable in a sense.
Right.
You know, they're not amoral.
They have a moral code.
It might be alien and confusing to us humans, but they definitely exist.
But of course.
Yes, absolutely.
But to answer your question, Reggie, it's nice having a name that, yes, if you were to throw into the front office of like the shittiest nfl team
my first line would my first job would be to stock up the o-line what do you think oh yeah
yeah the o-line is the most important they can cover for shitty yep
you can patch up a lot with a good o-line. Yeah. It gets you time for –
You can cover up a lot of problems with a good O-line.
Yeah, especially if they're – because a good O-line –
people don't realize that O-lines are usually the smartest guys on the team.
Right.
They have to be able to –
Is it weird knowing that Jason Kelsey is the smartest guy on the team,
followed closely, of course, by Dr. Lane Johnson?
A little.
Sometimes smart guys like to chug beer.
Yeah, and beat the shit out of each other.
Yeah, that's true.
But there's all sorts of different,
and you were at O-Line too,
so I was kind of giving you a little bit of, yeah.
Thanks, dude.
Appreciate you.
But you have to pull,
there's all sorts of different schemes.
You have to be like agile.
You have to be smart, agile, strong at the same time. Right. Which you have to pull. There's all sorts of different schemes. You have to be agile. You have to be smart, agile, strong at the same time.
Right.
Which is hard to find.
These guys are insanely good athletes.
I mean, they're bulked up during this.
They're bulked up because they need the weight.
Right.
But especially when you got someone just the same size on the other side trying to tear your arm out of the socket.
Right. exactly.
Blocking, by which I mean killing.
Yes. Gnawing on bodies,
yes.
I tell you this, I don't think there's
any quarterback that would
disagree.
They don't want to get...
If you've got a right-handed
quarterback, you're going to spend a lot of money on that left tackle.
Bigger is better.
That's a good point, yeah.
You want big boys blocking up them gaps.
Yep.
Absolutely, yeah.
And whenever I play,
I mean, this is stupid.
Obviously, it's not real life,
but whenever I play against the NCAA or Madden,
if I'm doing a rebuild NCAA,
I start recruiting O-line first.
Hell yeah.
That's what you do.
You got it.
And I,
and I don't go by rating too.
I make sure they're big.
Can't be too big.
Six foot 10,
400 pounds.
Six foot 10.
Joel Embiid has a offensive line.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That is genuinely too, yeah, yeah. That is genuinely
too fucking funny, dude.
Actually, you would almost
be worried that you're trying to throw
a slant running
midfield. He might bounce it off
his fucking head.
All right. We got one last
voicemail we're going to go to today.
It seems that Wayne and Charlie have merged in some sort of transporter accident.
Warley.
Yeah.
So we have –
Chain.
Chain or Warley.
Let us know what you would do with a jumbo hybrid.
Yeah.
Not their penis.
Notice I didn't say their penis.
No, don't tell us that.
They're real guys that we're friends with.
Yeah.
All right.
Let's listen. Tell us what you would do that we were friends with. Alright, let's listen.
Tell us what you would do with a freak show.
Oh my god.
It's Wayne and Charlie
throwing out a G&M for both.
We just came out of the live show
for Well, That's Your Problem,
Millions of Cult, and
it's about a podcast.
A very great show
that was thrown tonight.
It's...
It is currently
almost like 10 to
fucking midnight. Yep. Yep.
It was. And what else
do you want to say, Charlie?
Birds look like shit on Sunday, but
they got the win. You probably went over it.
They're going to kill Kirk Cousins on Thursday
night football. Amen to that.
And hopefully the Union get a win against their nemesis, Nega Union,
a.k.a. Cincinnati, the Scabs, on Saturday to try to get close to first place.
Fuck all Scabs.
Also, fuck Red Bull and NYC for that match on Saturday.
And what else do we want to say?
Go Temple. Fuck Penn State. See do we want to say? Go Temple.
Fuck Penn State.
See you guys.
I say go Rutgers.
Fuck Virginia Tech.
Have a good night.
Go Rutgers.
Fuck Virginia Tech
was not a sentence
I was expecting to hear today.
No.
Fuck Rutgers.
Oh, Rutgers.
Yeah. I don't hate Rutgers even though they're Temple's rival. I don't give a shit. Oh, butters. Yeah.
I don't hate Rutgers, even though they're Temple's rival.
I don't give a shit. They should be rivals.
Neither one of these teams deserves a football program.
Well, Rutgers, that's like their first college football game was played, right?
Yeah.
Is that what they claim?
Yeah.
I mean, they kind of deserve it.
All right.
Well, we got one more for Charlie.
So if you weren't charlied enough from that one with wayne and charlie we got one more charlie
i think this was from saturday talking about the outcome with uh the scab scab city cincinnati so
here we go hey guys uh hey liam hey tom mooch Mooch. It's Charlie from Roxborough at the stadium.
Union were up rolling in the first half against Cincinnati 2-0.
Goals by El Brujo and then a penalty scored by Gostag.
And then the second half, things fell apart.
Cincinnati got two goals back and tied it up.
Game finished 10 players each.
There was more yellow cards
than shots on goal in the first half.
That's hideous.
They're pretty much going to put Cincinnati over
pretty much they're going to need a big
collapse to lose the Shield.
Put the Union in the mixer
with four other teams
for second for fifth.
They got game Wednesday.
They're going to Charlotte. Then they're back home
against
LAFC.
I'd like to
another great live show
at the Franklin Music
Center.
Love to meet Wayne.
The fraternal order of 10K listener Collins is growing strong.
Keep beating them all.
Later, guys.
Hell yeah.
I do believe that the union did clinch a playoff spot.
So, yeah, that was good.
But, yeah, thank you, Charlie, for being our union.
Do you know that he put in his blue sky?
Yes, I saw that.
Official union.
For us, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Charlie were combined in a transporter accident,
what would you use them to do to
your... Do you think they would have superpowers?
Call it. Yes.
Would they make it...
I think they would actually start eating
Red Bull fans.
Yeah, I do believe that some sort of two-headed Charlie Wade freak show would be its own very good podcast host.
Yes.
So let us know what topic you'd have Wade and Charlie host.
Yeah, absolutely.
Oh, yeah.
