He is actually going to eject a fan. Because bad things happen in Philadelphia, bad things. The fan jumped into the penalty box area. Joy doesn't come to Philadelphia and stand here and dodge an ice ball. We, the Dallas Cowboys, have a service made with John Cooney. We're live. We are live from the tunnel. Yeah, we're under the tunnel.

We're at the Chabad Tunnel. We're at 770. Yeah, we're under the tunnel. We're at the Chabad tunnel. We're at 770. Yeah, just chilling. We're trying to find the imminent return of the, not the hidden imam, but the hidden rabbi. The rabbi, yeah. Yeah, which is very confusing with the term rabbi. I'm assuming they're related words.

They are related. It's very confusing. But yeah, here we are. I just said this to you off air, but as a Jewish person, every time you see the Hasidim do anything, you're just like, can you guys just be fucking normal? We're going to the same camps in the end.

Can you just be fucking normal? Jesus Christ. Well, you know what? If there's going to be camps, you need guys who know how to dig tunnels. That's true. That's true. I'll befriend Moshi and we will we will have a ball i i respect the chaos energy i also can't i can't imagine listening to those dudes try to

dig a tunnel like i've met hasadim just like the idea of trying to listen to them be like in the fucking accent just just god damn it dude every fucking time they come up in the news i'm just like man people already think we're like this awful global cabal that like enslaves children. And then you guys pull stunts like this. And it's just like it went from like funny to being the most anti-Semitic shit I'd ever heard. And I was just like, god damn it. It's so funny. I'm sure this is exhausted at this point, but the guy coming out of the sewer pipe with the

the hole perfectly cut for the hat right it what is this what and it it seems like like and i'm laughing at that while i was like when it was happening when it was being shared like i'm like shit i don't want to come off anti-semitic anti-semitic because i'm not but holy it's just funny but like you're that you're that devoted to the hat huh like yeah you guys that's a three thousand dollar hat yeah they are three thousand dollar hats no lie because i wanted to get a shabbos hat uh at one point and i was uh in israel sorry and uh i i was just like i wonder how much one of these costs and the guy i was on birthday it was like they're like three thousand dollars like you yeah they're all like custom-made suits and shit a lot of the time and it's just like okay enjoy that while you're giving women no rights i can say it yeah i can say it

those are my people a bunch of fucking assholes but i i learned a little bit i didn't realize that habad was all about the this guy was the messiah yep yep i it's wacky that's that's the guy yeah that's that's the guy not cutting really the sort of like figure i thought that the messiah would have yeah because obviously that the messiah is coming back he's going to be born fucking ukraine yeah that's god's own country um yeah let's thanks well that's where the crimean tartars were so of course the khazars you know uh that's that's where that's that was the second zion um my my least favorite thing is that as i as i sort of alluded to that like i'm on the same team as these assholes. Yeah. Which is why I tend to be so critical of them.

Sure. In a way that I save much of my ire for the Democrats because I don't believe Republicans are worth talking to. Right, right. Or conservatives are worth talking to. But then you get this shit, and you're just like, God damn, can you fuck,

like I said, can you just be fucking normal? Why are we doing this? I know all men yearn for the mines. Yes, we all yearn. Yeah, we doing this i know all men yearn for the minds yes we all you and i yeah we are yeah of dwarven subtyping people i guess we all we all want to drink beer kill goblins and very normal sort of thing be xenophobic and have bearded women um just what we always want all that yeah we want to that we want to dwell we want to dwell too greedily

and too deep I do want to do that did you know that Tolkien's dwarves were like supposed to be an homage to the Jews were you aware of that they were supposed to be like a nice homage because he like had respect for Jews people but like it's like

well how about the gold part did you need to include that I know that's from the Norse people but like it's like well how about the gold part did you need to include that i know that's from the norse mythology too but it's like do you think you gotta do that you didn't think that went through a hotbed no i that's and that like i i have discussions about talking like regularly online and one of the things is like he wasn't racist he wasn't like he genuinely like said he hated racism He said he was opposed to scientific racism But he was accidentally racist He wasn't very careful

That was me. Get back Nancy Pelosi's nib pen. All right. Should we talk about the... Since we last recorded... I think we have to. Since we last recorded...

So we last recorded back in December. Mid-December. Things were a little brighter. Yep. Things were not as... We had hope. We had hope.

We had hope. We don't have hope now. That hope has been cast as dark. We had hope. We had hope. We had hope. We don't have hope now. That hope has been cast asunder. Yeah, thanks for not... Oh, I just want to say we were absolutely fucking dick on about Nick Sirianni being not a good coach.

100%. 100%. We were 110% there. Stamp that shit. Notarize it. Yeah. We called it. We called it. We gave him credit when he did good stuff but we

say he's a fucking golden retriever and you know what my golden retreat i don't have a golden tree but if i had one i imagine it would be very sweet when things were going nice but if there was a really scary storm it would shit piss itself yeah that's what sirianni's doing he's shitting and pissing himself he's pissing right oh he's pissing all over us and i don't like getting pissed on unless no i guess nice and i don't like getting pissed on unless no i guess nice no i don't like getting pissed on that's not my thing no stop it sorry i i you know it's leftover from uh the other podcast is on uh but um go listen to radio free tote bag um i'll be on an episode where i talk about the meat and fucking expand the universe um all right anyway um

the birds holy shit yo what the total collapse collapse total collapse embarrassing losses after embarrassing losses to the giants and to the fucking cardinals and to the seahawks the giants one i think was the most embarrassing though yeah because they were like what five and eleven yeah yeah horrible dislocated fucking finger AJ Brown hurt playing against my evil twin Brian Dabble um the bull I forgot how you pronounce his last name uh he's like the evil version of me um me right it's dude tell me I was like

you're a Giants coach you look like him I'm like okay thanks I kind of thank you I actually kind of do but yeah I think

when we last recorded we had talked about like the loss to the 49ers and the switch from defensive coordinator who actually wasn't fired as

defensive coordinator, not yet. Right. And was it Matt Patricia now calling the plays? It is now Matt Patricia calling the plays. Yeah. That hasn't made too much of a difference. No, they're still leaky as fuck. Yeah.

Brian Johnson, Sarah. Are we at the point, Sarah, just clear house and do a rebuild with the coaching staff? Yeah. It's so fucking embarrassing, dude. Fucking bubble screens, fucking read options that

are only ever handoffs and weird like... The most predictable offense I've ever seen weird like triple option routes but they don't fool anybody right they know what's coming yeah it's it's it's it's just three and out three and out three and out it is i i turned off the giants game at halftime we were texting i was like this is fucking stupid right i'm glad i didn't was it was it the seahawks game then when i was away i think so yeah i'm glad i didn't see that because i was like trying to try to find a bar yeah it would have been really late so i was like fuck it but um i didn't miss anything

you missed embarrassment yeah yeah it's it's it's disgusting and we'll you know we'll beat the bucks i think and then bow out in the divisional round. I think we're first-round exit. I would buy that, too. Yeah. If I'm proven wrong, I'll be happy, but I think it's a first-round exit. Now that we've said that, the Eagles are somehow going to win the Super Bowl. Yeah, prove me wrong. Yeah, you stupid assholes.

Yeah. Hurts is hurt. Been hurt all season. Right. How long is Brown supposed to be out? I have no idea I just know that he's out I know it was Darius Slay I just got a notification saying about Darius Slay

I'm not sure if he's coming back I don't understand the Point in keeping AJ Brown in And keeping the starters in I just don't know the point in keeping A.J. Brown in and keeping the starters in. I just don't know. I don't understand it. I don't know.

I don't know. It's uninspired, and the guys are talking about leadership and stuff like that. It seems like there's nothing coming down from the top. You should probably fire Sirianni, realistically. You should. He's a punchable face. Fire Sirianni.

Just hire Belichick. Fuck it. Lead all in. Do it. Do it. Hire Belichick. Fuck it. I'm sold myself to the devil.

Do it. All right. Let me ask you this. Let me ask you this for a rapid change of pace. Yes. Assuming the Eagles don't prove us wrong, which I don't think they will. Who you got if it's not the Birds? Ravens. Yeah, me too.

I grew up 50 miles north of Baltimore. I'd be happy for a Ravens Super Bowl. I'd be happy for Lamar to get one. I think he's an immensely talented quarterback. I really like... That team is fun as hell. It's a fun team. I appreciate the defense being an absolute

fucking slaughterhouse oh yeah they're just playing murder ball out there it's really good to watch it's really fun to watch middle-aged solidarity yeah you gotta have it i love baltimore like i said 50 miles north of baltimore beautiful york pennsylvania such that it is yeah which is which is which is got a lot of balmer fans yeah you got a lot of orioles fans got a lot of ravens fans yep um and uh yeah i got no no issue with balmer so i have no issue with the ravens now i i truly like i i would love an all-healthy eagles raven super bowl we're obviously not getting that so let's go ravens yeah go birds but the different kind yeah yeah go birds yeah you want to go go birds hon go birds are going to go down the ocean down the

ocean hon yeah down the ocean yo you trying to crash some crab cakes crushing crab cakes uh go to uh h2o in ocean city and just fucking walk around my shirt unbuttoned you trying to go royal farms to get some neighbors i'm not trying to go to Royal Farms to get some naebo's? I'm not trying to go to Royal Farms. The chicken's good. Yeah, I don't know what to say about the Eagles, except this is a goddamn travesty, and I'm fucking sick of watching it.

Yeah, wasting like, you know... More than anything, I feel like my time's being wasted. Wasting my time. Wasting like Kelsey came back for this? Right, exactly. And this is how you repay him. We have that same blanket at home.

Which one? The one behind you, the black and floral one. Costco? Oh, yeah. Yep, I have that blanket. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, it would be one thing if they had just sucked from the beginning i had started out like three and five and it was like okay last season i can

take that yeah i'll watch it but there's no consequences right like i don't mind bad like we've been like we've said this before sports are better when they're worse right and like even at the eagles start like oh and five it's like okay i don't have to give a shit about this season i'm still gonna tune in and watch it but i'm not like my expectations the same way the phillies like let us down were because you made a world series run right a super bowl run the expectations are now that you win that next game you win the super bowl you win the world series you don't bow out in the fucking nlcs yeah don't bow out the first diamond bags fucking i saw a kid when i was in location undisclosed on my honeymoon and this kid was like a future frat star he was like 13 and wearing like

a backwards diamond back fitted i just wanted to choke the fucking piss out of him i was just like i am i am truly from philadelphia because i'm just like i can't see that without going it's like a boiling rage name name five five players on the fucking Dimebacks.

Now we could be communists again yo saban retired oh shit really that's the that's corinne called me breaking news breaking breaking i called it i called it i called it i called it i called it

i called it i called it i I'm texting Corinne right now. Nick Saban retired. Sources tell ESPN. Greatest college coach of all time? Ever. Yeah, period. Yeah. Yeah.

I called it. I called it. Woo! It feels good. He went 201 and 29. That's insane. Now, the question is, we got two candidates to coach the birds next year.

You know, I wonder if he's not actually retiring and he's going not to the NFL, but somewhere else. I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think so. Where would he go? He's also 72. Yeah, he's up there. He's done everything.

Oh, shit. Pete Carroll's out. Pete Carroll is going to be an advisor. Yeah, it's been a weird day. He has seven natties. The dude has seven natties. It's insane. It's insane.

He has one at LSU and six at Alabama. Like, yeah, he has seven natties that's you you cannot do better than saban has no no uh really good uh really good at um getting those kids the ferraris without anyone knowing yeah yeah saban hey man saban i don't know how i feel about saving i mean on one hand he's like i hate alabama on other hand saban is the greatest coach to like probably across sports besides maybe uh what's his name at UCLA? Wooden. Maybe Belichick, but I think it's probably Saban and no one else.

Yeah, I mean, he's immediately, I would say the best time at this point. Yeah, I don't think it's really close. That's wild. Yeah. I also, if we're going to do breaking news uh and sim we don't have a charlie call in uh remember that guy that on the union that said the racist slur yeah uh we signed him for three more years cool yeah don't you love that

yeah kai wagner's back um. I guess he was too racist for Europe. Incredible. Which is shocking. That's so fucking disappointing. Yeah. But yeah, shit. Well, we got some candidates. Saban, come.

Saban, come on 10,000 losses. Yes, please do. Please do. Didn't he do like a radio show or something like that? I thought he used to. Yeah. I know what's his name, his predecessor. Also in the top five, Bear Bryant.

That's how he built Alabama's reputation, was by having a TV show where he would talk to the team. There's a rumor going around that Belichick leaves New England and goes to Alabama. That would actually be fitting. That would be fitting. The evil empire just continues on seamlessly. Yeah. The new czar.

Yeah. Alabama, the spin-up- up the death machine. And the deflation machine. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I just, I'm praying for Bill Belichick in Alabama.

I actually like that. What's the worst scenario you can imagine, right? You got, you got Hassan's coming out of the holes in the ground. You got Bill Belichick at alabama you got a winter a winter storm rolling through a nor'easter that would have been a tropical storm if if it was tropical shit why not yeah the gulf stream is is 10 degrees fahrenheit above normal yeah yeah no belichick to alabama bucket let's do it let's do it belichick. Sirianni to my ass. And Saban to the birds.

Why not, man? Why not? He coached. Well, I don't know. You got like Georgia boys on the team. I don't know how they'd feel without that. They might not be too happy about it. Too bad.

Belichick to Alabama. Book it. Too bad. Belichick to Alabama, book it. Yeah. I don't think I've ever gotten one of those right, by the way. When did you call that? What? I called it with Corrine as, God, before the playoff. I said, as Alabama loses, Saban retires.

She's like, there's no way and i just i had a feeling of my gosh wish you could bet on that where are you now draft fucks yeah bet on that at draft fucks dot what's up like a really obscure fucking country dot l y draft dot lee draft fucks lee yeah Drex Lee yeah oh I just saw I just opened Twitter the Photoshop of Belichick no that's a real photo of him wearing

he's already confirmed no that's just a real photo oh gotcha March 19 2019 that's a real photo of him wearing that It's from March 19, 2019. Gotcha. That's a real photo of him wearing that. Oh, that's funny.

The most unhappy man in the world. Yeah. It's because he's not wearing cutoffs. Right. Shit, I got to close Twitter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, at least some good things are happening in the realm of football. It's just real college football.

Michigan won the national, won the natty. Are they expanding that shit to fucking 12 teams next year? Yeah, they are. And the first round is going to be played at home stadiums, which is goofy and weird, and I kind of love it. And it's the only reason I'd ever step fucking foot back in Happy Valley, is to watch Penn State get absolutely fucking annihilated by like old miss or someone oh that'd be nice yeah uh yeah that's nice yeah can we just just call call like call uh what's it football the bowl division now or whatever fps yeah fbd i i i i want to keep wanting to call it BCS

can we just call it NFL 2 at this point that's what it is it's the NFL 2 they're just the minor league teams and then have a JV team that's the actual college football that's all it is at this point

that's Temple Temple's not junior temple speaking which speaking which if any of you are uh if any of you are yes students at the at our glorious alma mater his alma mater and my whatever sort of alma mater yeah uh you should uh go to open tryouts because this team can't get any fucking worse i i if i was a grad student at temple, I could walk on. I guarantee that I would hit hard enough to be like, you know what?

Fuck it. Fuck it. Special teams. I don't know. I, I would do, I would actually get motivated enough to try if I, if,

if I didn't have, if I hadn't already maxed out student loans, like shit, I was thinking about doing, becoming like a special ed advocate. Go get my, go get my JD. Yeah. Shit.

I still have eligibility. Let's do this. I'm going to enroll in Beasley. Let's do this. Half the team, like there's like four or five guys I know on the starting roster who are graduate players. That's how you know it's a really good football program. Go Owls, baby.

Go Owls. Oh, shit. 35-0 to SMU. We deleted the drop. One of us deleted it. I didn't. Roz probably did. I don't know. God damn it, Roz. Do I want to search my files for it? No. It's not worth it. If I, I'll just edit the post, which I probably won't.

Anyway, so yeah, Eagles suck. College football's over. So 34 days till pitchers and catchers report. Can't wait. The Phillies signed nobody so far besides Aaron Noah. You think we're going to try and get anybody else?

No. I was asked at work if I thought we were going to go after Blake Snell. I was like we'd lose a first round draftnell. I was like, uh, we'd lose like a first round draft pick. I was like,

ah, I mean, he can't break Bryce Harper slum if he's on, on the Philly trail. Yeah. Um, so I don't know. Uh,

yeah. Pitchers catch a report, I believe the 13th of February. So we'll see what happens. Um, be cool. If we'll see what happens. Be cool if we pick up another utility guy.

Maybe re-sign. I wonder, did Reese Heisken sign? I don't think he did yet. Bring him back. Cubs still looking at possible pillow deal for Reese Heisken. What the fuck does that mean? Pillow. Pillow contract the fuck does that mean? Pillow. Pillow contract.

What does that mean? NBC Sports. What the heck is a pillow contract? A one-year deal. A cushion between. Oh, yeah. So just say a fucking one-year deal. Please.

Jesus Christ. None of you are Grantland Rice. Stop trying to be so fucking. Oh, I like. Please. Jesus Christ. None of you are Grantland Rice. Stop trying to be so fucking poetic. Yeah. Oh my god. They're going to make Alabama the death scar. Yeah. Bill Belichick of Alabama. It's happening.

Tom Brady Is going to be The quarterback coach Yeah They're going to go 10 million and 0 Would be the most Evil fucking program

You could imagine Yep They're eventually What they'll do is They'll eventually be Such a dominant team That they will Like the SEC

Will just have Four Alabamas Yeah So they'll Divide it out between their satellite campuses. Well, there's the University of Alabama and Birmingham. You already have Auburn. Yeah.

Auburn's not University of Alabama, though. No, it's not. Yeah. We're just going to have every team. Just the entire SEC. Actually, Alabama will separate. It'll have its own 12-team thing under Belichick. Like they do for the Pennsylvania State Universities under Pashy.

Yeah. Oh, shit. Well, other sports exist. Flyers are still good. Yeah. So we traded this guy. Our top prospect. Yeah, Cotter Gauthier.

Yeah, because he didn't want to be a flyer. No. And I wrote this down. Cutter Gauthier sounds like a Villanova kid's name. He goes to BC, which is basically the same thing. Yeah, so fuck him. I don't give a shit. He's half Swedish, so that's already a point against him.

You know, what kind of Swedish American are you that doesn't want to be Philadelphia? he's half Swedish, so that's already a point against him. You know, what kind of Swedish American are you that doesn't want to be Philadelphia? What's our fucking city's flag? Colors, right? That's fucking Swedish colors. Fucking asshole. Yeah.

Goodbye. Dude sucks. I think it's weird that you can draft a guy and's and have his drafting rights while he's in college. I think that's fucking weird. It is weird. But yeah, I guess that's how hockey works. I don't know. What's that?

Doesn't baseball work that way? If they don't, you can't hold their rights while they're in college. Okay. Yeah. So it's like it expires after a year so if you like tried to get into the league that would be different but yeah you would just get redrafted gotcha gotcha yeah yeah yeah um yeah and then the sixers have been good too um yeah i still haven't really watched anything probably need one more piece but maxi and beat is working out real well yeah yeah so it looks like um yeah i gotta well they're playing i'm like oh it's like

seven o'clock right it's fucking 5 30 i know dude the winter. I like the winter, but it does wear itself out at some point. It doesn't help that we've had no sun. A little bit this morning. It was actually really pretty sky this morning. Yeah. Oh, excuse me. Shit.

What's up? No, I had a brain fart. Oh, excuse me. Shit. What's up? No, I had a brain fart. Oh, okay. So Metric Mike, longtime contributor, sent us a piece I thought

would be a good dumb take. And I think we'll open this up. If you see dumb sports takes in your local. Send them our way, please. Send them our way. The more fodder, the better. We'd love to make fun of dumb takes. So this was like an editorial in the, what is it?

The dispatch with the Columbus dispatch. Ohio, this is a letter to the editor. Oh, no. The Ohio State football revolving door shows why students should be charged for transferring. Charged for transferring. And it's not a long editorial, but I'll read it. Oh, shit.

Is that car going by? Yeah. Oh, nice. Sick beats. It's hard to be an Ohio State University football fan. Don't you mean the Ohio State University? The Ohio State University. I'm the Ohio State University football fan.

Losers to Michigan. Yes. Go blue, dickhead. I mean, don't go blue, but still. It's hard to be an Ohio State University football fan. Each year, the team builds up and marches upward in the national polls. Inevitably, star players transfer out for greener pastures or step out of bowl games to save themselves for the NFL and for Christ.

Yes, they should. They should. Yes. Yes, they should. should yes yes they should as fans we don't have these tools turn off the game tools what tool turn off with tools yeah just don't watch it we don't have these tools you don't can't go change for greener pastures you can't yeah you you can't step out of a bowl game yeah it's called turning off tv yeah you literally can actually yeah that's that's we root for temple like we don't want to hear it yeah we root for Yeah, you can't step out of a Vulcan. Yeah, it's called turning off TV. Yeah, you literally can, actually.

We root for Temple. Like, we don't want to hear it. Yeah. We root for fucking Temple. You think we want to do this shit? And we left at halftime. Watching a team lose 55-fucking-0? It's a bunch of fucking Methodists. We can't, quote-unquote, transfer to another school.

Yeah, you can. You can actually change your fan. You don't have to be at Ohio State. Why don't you become a fan of the real Midwestern? Akron? Blue collar. Yeah, become a fan of Akron or any of the other MAC teams. The MAC.

Wednesday night MACtion. Or is it Thursday night? It's a Wednesday night MACtion. Wednesday night MACtion. Tuesday night MACtion. Yeah. Whenever there's no other game on. When it's like of action. Tuesday night of action. Yeah. Whenever there's no other game on. When it's like 30 degrees.

Football last resort. Yeah. Yeah. With two people in the stands. We can't transfer the other school. We're asked to pay to watch bowl games that are meaningless after snowflake players take a knee. They're not taking a knee. Did any Ohio State players take a knee recently?? Did any Ohio State players

take a knee recently? I don't think so. I don't recall this. Dollar sign, dollar sign, dollar sign has ruined, has more than ruined college football. We don't even have the Rose Bowl any longer.

Maybe you should have beat Michigan. Maybe you should have beat Michigan. Maybe you should have did that. Maybe you should have beat Michigan. We probably can't walk back the NIL and the portal, but maybe schools should start invoicing the kids that don't graduate for the scholarship money they consumed before transferring.

At least give them a 1099. Chris Collings, Upper Arlington. Let's see what kind of suburb this is. Upper Arlington, it is a city outside Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio. Yeah, they

lost their starting quarterback because he transferred and then Marvin Harrison Jr. didn't play because why the fuck would you play in the Cotton Bowl? Yeah, they lost their starting quarterback because he transferred. And then Marvin Harrison Jr. didn't play because why the fuck would you play in the Cotton Bowl? Right. Also, maybe you shouldn't have lost to Michigan. Yeah, maybe you shouldn't. Upper Arlington, Ohio.

Number of persons, percentage by race. White, 93.7. Yeah, that stacks. Yeah, that sounds like, let's like... Oh, who represents you? Let's see. You can immediately decide. Some are horrific. Let's see.

Politics, arts and culture. Parks and Recreation Department, Education Department, School District. You actually have to beat Michigan to do that. Notable people. Vivek Ramaswamy!

Yeah! Alright! Yeah, that tracks. Jim Trestle. Shut up, you big baby. That's stupid. Just shut the fuck up. Watch another team.

Just become an Ohio fan. I don't know. None of my teams are good and I don't complain. Yeah. Invoice for the kids that graduate. They actually do attend classes. Just so you know that. They do attend classes. They might not be... They might be given extra notes. Yeah. Also, that's not their fault.

Yeah. That's not their fault. Hey, if I'm not a starter, fuck it. Transfer to another team. Or if you don'm not a starter, fuck it. Transfer to another team. Or if you don't like the team, fuck it. Transfer to another team. Fuck it. I don't know what to say. Why are you complaining that someone's going to make a decision

in their best financial interest? That doesn't affect you. That doesn't affect you at all. If the kid really had his heart on Ohio State, then he would stay there. Maybe he didn't like it. Maybe because of people like you, Chris Collings. That's a fucking shitty name.

Sounds like Chris Collinsworth. Who I hate. Yeah, we all hate. So fuck you. Fuck Chris Collins. Fuck Upper Arlington. Fuck Ohio State. Thanks for writing in.

Thanks for writing in, Metro Mike. He said, thought you'd have some thoughts. Ohio's letter to the editor writers showing their asses lately. Mike also told me we had some dipshit argue like two months back that childless folks shouldn't have to pay school property taxes. I love that. That's a dumb take. That's a perennial L take.

I don't think other people's kids should be reading. I don't know why I'm doing Philly guy, but yeah. You know why. Yeah. I'm just channeling the upper Northeast. Liberty County, baby. We get it. We get it. You went to Holy Ghost.

Shut the fuck up. Yeah. You went to Judge. You did sure go to Judge. Yeah. You never told me what the Judge guys were up to, by the way. Oh, I had jury duty, right? Oh, shit.

The judge boys were running the show, and they had the thickest Northeast accents. It was amazing. There are a lot of judge boys. They had the judge boy haircut. It was incredible. The tip staff at the CJC? Yeah. Oh, did I ever tell you that I tried to get a job at CJC? Yeah.

Did I ever tell you that I tried to get a job at CJC? How'd that go for you? They're like, who's your ward leader? I was like, oh shit, I didn't know this was that kind of job. They're like, yeah. They're like, we like you. We'll put a good word for you if you get your ward leader to sign off on it. I was like, I have no idea who my ward leader is.

Brutal. Yeah. It is the coziest job in the world. $70,000 a year, four weeks vacation from the start, and you do nothing but give notes to the judge and take people in and out of the courthouse, the courtroom. What a fucking... And that's honestly, that is what

politics should be. Those kinds of jobs. Like a patronage machine. As long as there's enough to go around. Tammany Hall did nothing wrong. There's a really good book called Machine Made actually. About why Tammany Hall was good actually. Also,

we should probably close Wood at this point. Close Wood? Oh, I'm okay with that. Yeah, why not? Welcome back to... Yeah, welcome back to Philly Catholic School chat. They closed North and kept Judge open because the good

die young ambassadors live forever. I'll never forgive you, Justin Regali. Regali. I can't even say your name right. I fucking hate you so much. Spinning right now. Spinning over my microphone. You want to listen to some voicemails? Yeah, sure.

One of them is... We haven't heard of him. Well, he's been on recently, but we haven't heard the guy call him. But this is Patrick, who is coming in to add, he wants to add some stuff to the episode he was on where we talked about the

strength sports and all that, and MMA. Alright, so let's listen to Patrick. Patrick from Bucks County. How y'all doing? This is Patrick calling back in from the last episode I was on. Thanks for having me on, guys. Take care to start doing some regular calling when there's some UFC news

that is worth sharing with the rest of the pod. So the last UFC event was 296 on Saturday, December 16th. It was an interesting one. Oldest shit, Tony Ferguson, who was trained with David Goggins to prep for his fight, got beat by Patty the Batty Pimblitt. Just kind of going to show that even if you run 30 miles a day, it doesn't mean that you can punch somebody.

But more kind of in the vein of the podcast here, Flat Earther and Bible Thumper Bryce Mitchell got hit so hard by Josh Emmett that he saw God for about 20 seconds. So if you want to pull up a very uncomfortable replay of what happened there, of him twitching on the ground, it's out there.

But what I really wanted to call about is the main event of the night was a guy named Leon Edwards, who is one of the top welterweights that have ever competed, has held the belt for a very long time. And he fought against Trumper by personality and complete total dipshit, Colby Covington. Leon Edwards

won and retained the title in five rounds. But why that's important is not only is Colby Covington a huge chutz but Donald Trump was in the audience and walked out with Kid Rock and Dana White to go sit in the audience only to watch him get absolutely dominated and look like a coward versus Leon Edwards

who is an absolute beast out of the United Kingdom. So I thought that'd be fun to share. Hail to Pitt. Fuck Penn State. Hope you guys are doing well. Have a good one. Thanks, Patrick. What did you say, Liam?

I was getting a phone call, but it was, I think, spam. Yeah. No worries. Oh worries That's hilarious The right ringers taking L's I love it Fucking kid rock Dude that's where we are Yeah Trump loves going to the MMA Yeah I know

I like watching the big boys I like watching them fight I don't know Thank you That's not my best one but you know watching the big boys. I like watching them fight. I don't know. Thank you. That's not my best one, but you know. They're very big. They punch very hard.

I will crack myself up just doing Trump on my own. I know you will. I've literally had my wife text me like, are you doing Trump in the kitchen? Yes. I'm not doing the Trump voice in the kitchen. I'm cooking. I'm cooking very good food.

It's very delicious. Stop it. Dude, it's a self-refer. I just keep going. Shit. Yeah. Look at this guy, Colby Covington. Political views.

No thanks. He dedicated his win to first responders and criticized Black Lives Matter for LeBron James. Controversies. It is very long. I bet it is. Yeah.

And he got beat up by a rival. So that was nice Outside of the ring Shit Alright well thanks Chad Patrick Appreciate the UFC update We're rapidly expanding The expanded universe

Of affiliated Sports official Correspondents for 10,000 losses We got a message from Wayne A long time affiliated sports official correspondents for 10,000 losses. We got a message from Wayne, a longtime also caller, inner. Let's hear it. Hey, Tom. Yeah, Liam.

It's Wayne. Pronouns he, him. Just recapping all the madness that has happened during Christmas. My crew says, finally, what a bowl game. Going up into the parks and beating Miami. Let's get it in teeth. The Brewers finally got a win over the Giants. And because Dallas cannot stop dripping over their own dick,

we now have a chance to clinch the division. Flyers are actually playing, like, surprisingly well. Yep. Which is kind of shocking. And, uh, yeah. Chris is good. Tom can officially say he survived being in Scotland during the Old Ferns, Arby. Yeah.

That's cool. I didn't get stabbed in the last. Go, Rutgers. And fuck Penn State. Yeah. I didn't get stabbed. Happy New Year. Go Rockers. And fuck Penn State. Yeah, fuck Penn State. It was really funny though because I will sometimes get like anxiety

travel related anxiety when I have my wife with me and I was looking at where her hotel was and her hotel was right by Glasgow Central Station and the everyone was like oh there's too many fucking nids i don't know can't still can't do the scotch accent uh like there's two there's two there's it's the worst part of glasgow it's like k and a i actually had someone in the pub where i was hit on he's like oh you're from kensington and philly like we end up talking he's like i i know what that is like shit how the fuck

do you know about it he's like i saw it on tiktok like oh yeah um he's like it's like all right so it's glasgow that bad he's like no i was like oh thanks all right i appreciate that and i got to for glasgow central state it reminded me of being like under the l dude this is your worst part i thought this was a seat where you got the Glasgow smile and you were going to get glass. It was like, this is a city. It's normal. It's fine.

There's no issues. It reminded me of Market East. This is how bad Glasgow gets. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there's other parts of Glasgow that I don't know about. Somewhere. I don't know. But I never felt unsafe.

And shout out to the one cab driver who was a Celtics fan explaining to me the rivalry and making fun of Rangers fans the entire time. So, yeah, he was very passionate about it. All right. We got two more voicemails. We got one from Isaac. So let's listen to Isaac here. Hey, Dom. Yeah, you. We got one from Isaac. Let's listen to Isaac here. Hey, Dom.

Yeah, William. This is Isaac. I use they, them pronouns. Giving you an update on some Detroit basketball. That's right. They ended their losing streak at the historic 28 games in a row. My only regret is that it didn't go on longer. I

sounded much more disjected. I don't know what the word is. Anyway, I was way more sad at the beginning of this losing streak. Now I want them to continue losing. I hate Tom Gores. I hate Troy Weaver. Monty Williams, I'm not sold on. Cade Cunningham is a fucking superstar.

30 points, 12 assists, zero turnovers. First piston to do that since Chauncey Billups in 2007. So I'm really excited about that. Jalen Thurn's got like 18.17 rebounds. First piston to do that in the Shot Clock era. A couple more stats I want to throw at you. 20-year game losing streak is the longest single-season losing streak in NBA history. And it's tied for the longest losing streak in NBA history ever with the process 76ers.

And that's not the only record that the Pistons currently hold tied with the 76ers right now, because the Pistons, with the win against Toronto Raptors and the win against the Chicago Bulls at the beginning of the season, are tied for the most amount of wins in Little Caesars Arena with the 76ers. So can't wait to see the front office have something done to them that I cannot say over the telephone because I do not want Tom Gores to show up at my house. I hope you all have a great holiday season.

Happy New Year. Go Pistons. Detroit basketball. I love you, Isaac. That's great energy. That's terrific. And 10,000 losses game of the week, which will already be played by the time this comes out. The 5-30

San Antonio Spurs at the 3 and 34 detroit i can't wait tonight at 7 i will cue the cue the nba on the nbc yeah cue that theme magnificent beautiful beautiful uh sports are better when they're worse yes oh how the spurs have fallen man i like pop just being like fuck it i'll try anything i'll try everything i but it's all young guys so like they're gonna lose a lot at least like with pop he's like okay like you trust pop to like get it done yeah people want to play for pop they know who the spurs are as an organization it's like the Heat or the Celtics or even now the Sixers able to like

people want to play with Joel Embiid people want to play in Boston, people want to play you know, for those well established franchises, you just gotta keep being one of those well established franchises, that's the hard thing yeah, no that's that's the thing, but that's that's gonna be some shitty basketball.

And I wonder who wins. I wonder who wins. Probably the Spurs. But it'll be a good – just imagine. It's just the Washington Generals versus the Washington Generals. Yeah. Shit. Well, thanks again, Isaac, for calling in.

We got one last voicemail here from Luke hey guys this is Luke pronounced he him I am from Minnesota so you know jokes ensue we're the worst our sports teams are doubly the worst our Is ugly, but that's alright I appreciate you guys having a podcast That talks about many of the things That frustrated me about sports and drove me away You know, a decade or so ago, but

It's nice to have an opportunity to Be a sports fan and also A leftist, so thank you for that Just appreciated the episode talking about How frustrating the NFL is with The penalties However, I think the angle that we're missing I just appreciated the episode talking about how frustrating the NFL is with the penalties. However, I think the angle that we're missing is that the point of the penalties, much like the U.S. justice system, isn't to make things run more smoothly

and solve the problem of how do we have good, safe game play. It's to punish the other guy because that makes us feel good. So it's fun to think about how to make things work better, but I always like to think about the real incentives behind the weird out-and-up systems we create. So fuck Penn State, fuck the Packers, and

whose dick would you stick in the Pack hat? Thanks, Chad. Would you fuck the Cheesely? You know, probably if you made me, but i wouldn't like tail nah i don't i well yeah i'm so wide you know i i don't think it'll fit but yeah yeah six six feet wide one inch long uh uh shit no that's funny You could use Pete Rose's dick He doesn't deserve that

The Packers don't As the only publicly owned team In major sports In the United States They don't deserve that Rivalry aside Keep his dick away But it always makes me happy To hear someone saying that they like listening to us keep his dick away but I always

it always makes me happy to hear someone saying that they like listening to us because even if they're not a Philly sports fan we don't blame you yeah we give you a license that's why we talk about more than just Philly sports so yeah appreciate it
