He is actually going to eject a fan. Because bad things happen in Philadelphia. Bad things. Joy it is to come to Philadelphia and stand here at Dodge Ice Ball. Dallas Town Boys. Head of Smy. John Cooney. And we're live.

We've made it. We survived the storm. Well, we're not sure about you yet. Yeah, dude. It's nasty hours out there. Yeah. Wait, you don't sound like, Liam. Why is your voice so?

much smoother. Not as good as Liam. Not as delightful of an accent. Maybe halfway through this podcast, I'll slip back into it. You can slip into it? Yeah. Tom, how's it going?

I've had to clean it up for corporate America, Tom. You know how it is. Well, that's, you know, it's funny. It's softball, softball night. I have to shift my brain from softball night to teaching. the next morning.

And it's, it's tough sometimes. I haven't slipped, but going from, we're at bat and they're like, you know, Tom, Tom knows about boats, boats and hoes,

fucking hose, man. And I'm like, all right, I'm trying to actually, I'm trying to fucking actually hit the ball here. And you're making me laugh. Like,

shit the fuck up. You're my own team, fucking heckling me. Teachers not shifting out of softball night. I didn't know that I knew this was a thing, but now that you've given

the background context, I can think of like nine teachers that I had growing up who did not do an effective job of shifting back into teacher code. Yeah. So one of my colleagues is, luckily I had, I had the shift happen talking to a colleague because he was talking about. So yeah, you know, no, there's Danish's in there.

I like the ones with nuts. And I said, oh, yeah, you like the ones with nuts? And luckily this guy, he's like another, you know, fucking asshole. So he's like, ah, you got me. I was like, I got a shift out of that mindset. Can't do that. You got Danish's, bro? What are you teaching a rich kid's school?

Fucking Danish's. Come on. Fucking someone brought him in. That's a nice. It was Teachers Appreciation Week, I think two weeks ago. Did you feel appreciated? I'm sorry that I didn't send you a note for teacher appreciation week. That's okay.

That's right. I've been like absent from your guys's slack for a minute. Well, it's not your job. It's just you could choose to be in there. Yeah. It's not anything when your guys's fault. as a Slack or as a podcast. I feel like our podcast has been kicking, you know?

Yeah, no, no. There's nothing against pods. It's all I deleted like half the social media apps from my phone. So I just don't get updates anymore. That's a smart move. Yeah. But yeah, so if those of you who are not aware of Bobby's here is my temporary guest co-host, because Liam's off doing things in a location,

redacted down the shore. I'm glad you added down the shore. It would sound like he was on a black ops mission. Well, he could be. He could be. In Roebuth? No, it's Jersey. Think of the most obnoxious one in the southern path, not the ones up by you.

Okay. And it's that one. All right, I got one. Yeah, I got it. I got it. Sounds good. Yeah. The whole-time assassination court, and it's on 10K law.

He'll be back. I mean, I'll just bleep it. We have a traditional bleeping things and then it being obvious. But it's Jersey. Okay. So it's the most assholes. Like phone by the fucking sea by the sea. That's right. No, these by the crick. Fuck that. I hope you only bleep. Well, we used to call North Wildwood, Kensington by the sea. I don't know if you ever heard that one. I haven't heard that one. I have not heard that one. Yeah. Well, I mean, everything at this point is up in, up in the air because the Mamdani Sultanate is approaching. I've heard that people are leaving New York by the droves.

Yeah. Forced conversions to Islam. I'm actually podcasting from my car as I drive back down 95 to get away from just with the craziness that's going on. I mean, as Noah Cindergarde so delightfully laid out on Tommy Laren's podcast. It's just fucking craziness out here. Well, I really

I think I said this in the last episode episode before. It's like there's no one I care less about their political opinion than the white baseball player. Dude. Oh, I thought you were going to say specifically Noah Cindergarde. Oh, no, Sinigar. He's a carism of a vacuum. He speaks and I just like my brain goes off. Yeah. Yeah.

He was on the fucking Phillies for like a good couple months, wasn't he? Is that right? Did he? I don't know if he did it. I thought he was on the Guardians for a little while. Hold on.

Did I hallucinate this? No, he was. You're right. Yeah. Yeah. 10 whole games. 54 innings.

Wow. 2020 was a fake year. Yeah. Definitely. Isn't the year of the Phillies into the world? Yes. You'd think I'd have that that roster like fucking memorize?

It just goes to show that baseball is a joke sport That in the same year that you sign Noah Cindergarde To throw a 54 innings for your team You can get absolutely red fucking hot And go to the World Series Dude you could also get a ticket for $20 still That shit's dawn now Oh yeah fucking destroyed that

My man John Middleton He doesn't have that passive income Of selling cigarettes to kill half of America anymore So he's got to crank it up Crank the ticket prices up His son's going to pick up his film work. These yinglings aren't going to sell themselves, Tom. Yeah.

Oh, my God. Dude. You know what? I have to confess something. I haven't been to a game yet this year. Really? Yeah. Just haven't been.

That's okay. You got plenty to go. You got over 100 opportunities left. Yeah. That's the great thing about baseball. That's a good way. Well, I mean, I guess if I go somewhere else, like a different ballpark. Oh, yes.

True. Yeah. I have seen the Phillies. the two other ballparks, but... Just in your life or this year? Not this year, right? No, no, in my life. In my life.

Yeah, at Lone Depot and at Peco. What's your take on going to see your own team in another stadium? Because I kind of don't like it. I like, they're going to embarrass me in front of all these people is how I feel about it. Well, the Phillies definitely embarrassed me in Miami. That was like a 14. like two laws. That's tough.

San Diego, I felt like there was enough Phillies fans there. I kind of felt fine. I will say this. I respect the fighting spirit of those in the Northeast. So if I would go to a Mets game in Philly's gear, I need some shooters with me. I'm not going solo in Philly's gear.

I feel like someone will say something and then my dumb, my dumb ass will be like, fuck do I have to report an arrest if it's outside of the state of Commonwealth of Pennsylvania well this effect my teaching certificate you guys listen it's it's the

it's northeast blue collar mentality that's what we're talking about New York Daily Post guys here in Mammes monsoran momdani's queens as long as you're more woke than the person that you kill it's fine mm we honor killing it's not legal as long as you score better on the leftist

scale you can kill whoever you want Yeah. Yeah. The, um, if you, if you have sold yourself of the slavery as one of Mom Donnie's Janissaries.

We can go to a mom luke. We can go to a Mets Phillies game together and, you know, we can bridge the gap. Yeah. We can reach across the aisle. We could do it. It's fine. Yeah.

No one's going to get hurt. I need you. I need you to protect me because tiny. I'm tiny and frail. Um, um, but yeah. So the,

the wokeness is coming down 95 um you know the the the southern front of the mom donnie sultanate uh with chris rob winning the primary in philly unfortunately here in bucks county we're still um we're still not ready to endorse a progressive candidate challenger to fucking robert fitzpatrick um so the fitzpatrick family will never quit dude um hold on so Brian Fitzpatrick. Why did I call him Robert Fitzpatrick? I had to Google that there for a second. I was like, is there another goddamn Fitzpatrick?

Like we had Mike, we had Brian, now there's a Robert. Yeah. So there's a building in Doylestown that says like commissioners, like when it was built. Mike fixed Patrick's on it. And then it's like five years later. Commission, you know, ribbon cutting ceremony, whatever. Brian Fitzpatrick It's like,

the fuck, get these fuckers out here. We have other families too, but they're the most, they're more prominent. There's a couple judge families. You get the tanners.

You know about the tanners? No, I don't know nothing about the tanners. Really? Do you remember the tanners market? That would have been more down your way. Vaguely. They had the milk.

And the ice cream. I know a lot of markets that, oh, oh, it's like the ice cream shop? Yeah. I feel like, yes. I know what you're talking about.

I'm here. I'll put it up. I'll put it in the chat so you can, you can pine for your old days. Tanner Brothers Derry. Yeah, I see this. Yeah. So they're another family than the Worthingtons.

Oh, I know exactly where this is. That's Newtown, though. That's rich people territory. Right. We're more working class. Right. We're working class, upper middle class, Bucks County.

Hey, listen, you can go to Croydon. There's some work of class people there. Oh, hell, yeah. My old neighbors from Kensington. Croydon is real. Croyd is real. It is a place. Some of my favorite accents in all of Pennsylvania,

Croydon, Pennsylvania. I think we've talked about this every time you've been on about the Croydon. There used to be the Croydon Creamail from the Shammity Creek. And the logo, it was like a sun. and like he was missing half its teeth. I like how we get to Croydon earlier and earlier every pod that we do together. You know?

Well, it's a good point of, they're taking bets on Calsi about this, about how quickly we will start talking about Croydon. We get him in before Josh Shapiro. Oh, no, Josh Shapiro won't ban that. Pennsylvania won't ban that shit. No, it has to be a stalwart progressive like, like Tim Walts. like Josh Shapiro

Jesus Christ So so so yeah Brian Fitzpatrick Not Robert Fitzpatrick Not Bobby Fitzpatrick You're Bobby I am Bobby But not Fitzpatrick

No no Irish blood here Thank God Fucking finally Liam's off We could really talk shit about the Irish No no I support my Irish brothers and sisters You know Like to reach across

The Italian Irish aisle So it's funny. I did like I've been doing genealogy owner not for years. And we had, my wife and I have an Irish friend. We stayed at her place over in Ireland. She comes over our house and stuff. And so she's like, you gotta be Irish.

Like, look at your fucking head. Like it's so big. And I'm like, no, I'm not Irish at all. She's like, you're fucking Irish. Like, she's like trying an excuse for me to be Irish. And I like, I finally found someone was Irish. He was a courtier of Henry the 8th. right

I have one like noble person so I can like trace back I'm fucking closer to Oliver Cromwell I'm actually closer to fucking king now I'm a 13th cousin

of King Charles of 30 Wow so I'm on I'm on the charts I'm on the success in chart Get checked Yeah You know what I think Does King Charles has prostate cancer

Right isn't that what we heard Get checked get checked early Yeah I was baptized Catholic though Fuck Ooh so they're not gonna let you King. I don't think though.

Not without a couple wars. We bring back the Jacobites. We're doing this shit? Bonnie, Bonnie Prince Tommy? Let's fucking go. Let's fucking do it. We're putting on kilts, guys.

We're going to Scala. We're fucking running this shit. Let's go. That would, I got to say, though, would you, before we actually do the intro,

we, now at this point, we do the intro halfway through the show because we get shit. Okay. Great. I'm familiar with that form of podcast.

Yeah. You've seen like the Highland outfit like they wear at weddings and shit. Yeah. Would you wear that? Would you fucking rock that? Would I like if I was if that was my culture and I was getting married, would I wear that? Or just like like I need a better hypothetical for that. Yeah.

Would you just fucking like wear that if it was like you were asked to at a wedding? Would you wear that? Yeah, I would. Yeah, probably. I'd probably, I would literally wear anything anyone asked me to at their wedding. Like if they were like this is the dress code for the wedding I would do it I don't know if that makes me it

Does that make me a beta in today's modern masculine society Does that make me low key in alpha Because I you know I'm willing to set aside my own masculinity To give my friend love Does that make you a sigma Like you're like your independent thinker Hmm well just wearing anything anyone will tell me to wear

It's not exactly independent thinking I do like when someone makes a decision for me though Because if it's up to me I'm just gonna wear one of the same three suits That I've worn to every single wedding I've ever worn Although I will say like rent the renting tux You know the black tucks like that Is truly one of our worst

Worst worst Worse Mechanisms in society Oh it fucking sucks man It's so bad I um it was just renting a suit in general So when my brother got married He did like this blue

We all wore a blue suit And they Real original Yeah Yeah Oh, Guess what color our fucking shoes were Brown

Oh yeah And white shirt I mean White shirt Oh man What the fuck How would you How could you tell?

And fucking Derek guy is Is just roasting us right now He's He just got an itch in his ear he's taking a shit and he's like fucking someone's wearing a blue suit

he saw one of you sitting down in the pocket crunched up a little bit well oh yeah he wouldn't have to my pocket square these guys are dead in the water or should I say dead in the water ooh oh hold on hold on hold on

let me find it there we go there we go this is what tipping pitches is missing the soundboard yeah do you guys do Zincaster no no we do Riverside

which is even stupid Okay, is there a vowel missing from that? No, no. It's spelled how you would think it's spelled. Was you sure if it's like Zencastr's got a val missing? No, no, no. We used to use Zencaster when we first started podcasting together. I mean, we record in person a lot of the time,

although less than the last year because we're all so fucking busy all the time. But whenever we do one of our big blowout episodes, like, you know, our drinking game episodes or our other drinking game episodes or our third style of drinking game episode, We always do that in person because otherwise it feels quite sad if both of us are sitting alone in front of our laptop on Riverside drinking alcohol. I just, oh my God, no. All right, so I don't want to lose a threat. I want to come back to that.

Okay. So my, my, I go to the tailor, right? And he's taken, taking my measurements. All right. I tell this guy, all right, I got a gut. I wear my pants below my belly button like a fat guy does. Mm-hmm. because I'm not wearing it at my waist.

Because if I wear it my waist, it's going to fall down because I'm going to need suspenders. Nah, no, it's good. Yeah, it's fine. Don't worry about it. It takes all the measurements and everything. I'm like, are you sure you're writing down the under the belly? But like the, you know, my actual hips where I wear them.

Yeah, yeah, I got it. Go to pick it up fucking around my goddamn waist. So the entire wedding I have like every two minutes. I'm like pulling it back up because I didn't pick it up until like the day before. No suspenders. You didn't pull them out. I don't have suspenders. I'm not, I'm not, I don't speak Esperano.

So I don't have a set of suspenders. I do own suspenders and I do like to wear them. I like have been much better than a belt. I find them much more comfortable. Do you speak Esperano? No. Okay. Everyone I've ever met who spoke, who's spoken Esperano, which is two people,

have word suspenders. Oh. So like every day? Yeah, they were like a suspenders guy. They were also like 20, 12 hipster era suspenders They were older

They were older guys Jovial Very jovial Like George R.R. Martin type guys Vagely Leftist Like probably a communist In the 60s

Nice guys The Vim and Vigar To continue their communism Yeah Well enjoys a drink You know Who doesn't Like a real false

Staff type of guy I feel like that's the That's the Fulling out the fucking fucking Shakespeare references alright but back to what was the other thing we were saying I said I want to put up in that

I was talking about our drinking game episodes I just can't imagine just because of the distance of Liam and I I don't like staying at people's houses that's like a thing and he has offered to put me up many times and I've always like found a way to be like I don't think so and it's nothing one to anybody

that's just like me being weird Yeah. But I can't imagine a live drinking episode. That's right. Going well. Just power through. That's what we do on the pond. I got to let her out of this room.

But keep going. Alive, well, the drinking episodes, yeah, Alex, we always put Alex in a fucking car on the way home. You know, we don't make him get on the bus after that. Yeah. We don't want any embarrassments. That's a polite thing to do. All right.

So Bobby's getting up to take his. dog out. Let's say, oh, and then, yeah, so Bob Harvey will be going up against Brian Fitzpatrick. What was it? Lisa Seminelli. Probably got her first name wrong, too. First names are less important when it comes to politics. Yeah. But, so I got to vote for, I got to vote for Bob Harvey in November, which is going to suck, but he'll be better than Brian Fitzpatrick, probably.

Board Vice Chair. That was his previous role. Maybe that's why you were thinking of. Maybe that's why he thought his name was Robert Fitzpatrick. Yeah. Because Robert, it's Robert J. Harvey, Jr. Is there a guy named Robert Fitzpatrick? I mean, there is obviously a Robert Fitzpatrick, but I'm trying to think it's...

There's probably millions. Oh, wow. Bob Harvey went to Holy Family. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, he says he was a teacher. Where was he a teacher at? Ooh, let's find out. he graduated from Bristol High School

then he went to GW then he went to Holy Family for a master's yeah wow teacher and chairman of the social studies department at Bucks County

Technical High School within walking distance of my childhood home they have a social studies department at the tech school they still do the regular education at tech school I know but usually they go back to the

they go back to their home school usually. That's usually how it goes. Well, we had a couple of tech. The tech school did their own, you know, mostly their own education. And then we had a couple tech school kids who would come over for classes that were not offered at BCCHs. So like an honors class, an honors English class or like an AP class.

You're laughing, but like that's like that's actually what they came for. I'm laughing because there's things I can't say right now. Because I have some inside knowledge on things. and I mean, fuck it. I could just, I'll just cut the next part. If I ever am like, I got the ox, I'm on my way out. Fuck it. I'm just, guys, just so you know who your English teacher was, here's my online shit.

I want you guys to see how fucking based I was. Look at this. Dude, I got fucking 300,000 views on this shit on Twitter back during the pandemic. Is this AI generated picture of car marks wearing a fucking Eagles jersey? Oh, man. That's so good. That's great. All right.

Tom's paying me handsomely to be here to co-host, the guest host in Liam's stead. Yeah, I'm paying you Liam's salary, which now I have to think about it. Technically, this podcast is incorporated under, well, there's your problem. So I'm like a subcontractor. I love being a content subcontractor. Yeah, yeah. This is what my forefathers fought for, you know? This is what they laid the buildings brick by brick for, you know.

One of these days, one of my kids is going to be a fucking podcast. I don't know why I gave him a New York accent, but, yeah. Well, my forefathers were from New York. Were there? Yeah, they were probably like building scaffolding for the mafia, you know? Yeah. That seemed like a good job had to have back then. Steady work if you can get it.

They were one of those guys sitting on the fucking, uh, that fucking like, like a Rangling. The skyscraper picture. Yeah. Hey, it's my great uncle Joey. Hey, my great grandson's going to be fucking on the radio, but you could have it on your fucking phone, which doesn't got to be plugged into the wall. this fucking guy

but you know no it's okay yeah it serves a function but I just the New York Times just every year I just am like I'm leaving if you don't put it back down to a four dollars a month and they give you a crazy deal a dollar a week it is my guy

you name the price mister the Philadelphia Inquirer went up the fucking like 35 a month and yeah and my wife's like Tom is that fucking inquire worth that I was like well kind of if you think about it because I have a sports podcast

The Philadelphia Inquirer, you can't cancel. You have to fucking, it's like notarized letter bullshit. Like, get somebody on the phone, wait three hours.

It's like how like canceling a gym membership type of bullshit. Bro. And she can't cancel the Philadelphia inquirer. Like, who's going to pay Kevin Cooney's salary? Marcus Hayes. Marcus Hayes needs to eat, man. There's only so many times the guy can tell M.B. The medically retire.

you know but uh fucking my wife called she like the listeners know my wife is from her family's from the Middle East so she has some haggling ability we're not you know stereotyping but it's cultural and she's haggling on she's like

fucking like if you've ever if you ever meet her that's a great stereotype to have by the way like if I'm going to be stereotyped for one thing I wanted to be that I fucking get deals yeah she that I get people to agree and stuff that they don't want to agree to. She, she, she, she, if you meet her in a half hour, she knows your entire family, your background,

Six hundred people a week You have to respect him. I respect that he shaved his head because he doesn't have hair like I have hair. I don't even know where I'm going with that. I don't listen to the guy's voice anymore. So like, no, most of the time I see him

it's just an amuted video that I don't unmute because I know it's going to be some fucking bullshit that everybody was like pretending as funny. I'm going to be the president in 2032. No, you're not. You're not going to be president. You're not going to press in 2013. How do we get here? We haven't even fucking talked about the Phillies yet. I agreed to talk about the Phillies.

in a generous capacity. And here we are talking about Trump instead. All right. Let's talk. Let's talk. All right. Phillies are now at 500. We lost our first series since Don Bangley became Skipper.

All right. Don Maddiegley now on the hot seat. All right. We're listening to Cuzz from Collingswood. We're talking. We're taking questions on should Don Mangley get fired because he sucks now. Go ahead, because. Oh, it should be Dave from Doug.

I haven't done Dave for Delco in a while. I know you haven't called him We haven't taken many calls On tipping pitches in very long Yeah We got to organize some sort of call in episode So that you can bring Dave from Delco back It's just the last fucking time I called in Dave from Delco

I was fucking driving all 611 too I was got a fucking accident Fucking fucking piece of shit wouldn't fucking merge Fucking See I don't want Dave the Delco to be a misogynist Because I think it's funnier When dumbasses are actually oddly woke Yeah I agree

This fucking ass I don't know what fucking gender they was. I wasn't really fucking paying attention. It gives you shit. Fucking. Don't matter. Don't matter. Anybody could be a bad driver.

Especially the... But then suddenly oddly racist. Yeah. So, Tom Manningly. We fired Dom Daddy Topper. And this is what we originally were going to talk about. When you were supposed to be on and then Liam's podcasting

it wasn't Liam's fault. It was one of his co-hosts. I'm going to mock them the next time I'm on their podcast. We made the podcast late. But yeah, we were supposed to talk about it because it had like just happened. Did we need to fire Dom Daddy Topper? What do you think?

Unfortunately, yeah. I think so. You know, I was thinking a lot about this because I've had weeks to think about it. I've had weeks to think about whether or not they needed to fire him. And I've also had weeks to think about who would be the person, the best person to replace him. First of all, I wonder if you and all of your beautiful, perfect listeners in the greater Philadelphia area. Yeah, they're all just chads after chads after chads.

It's a conveyor belt of chads. Keep in mind two thirds, Philadelphia and like a third for some fucking reason from fucking Columbus, Ohio. I don't know why. All right. Well, that doesn't seem like a great place. never been, but it just doesn't call to me. I don't hear the siren song of Columbus of Ohio. You might get some shit just so you know.

No, it's okay. The Columbus contingent might. They might say some shit. They might call them. They might put a little hit on me. Put a little head out. I, dude, fucking send some chili to your house. Well, okay.

That I could get behind. The Ohio chili game, let's go. Let's go. Okay. And I'm thinking about this. And it reminded me of the fact. that Topper came in under basically the exact same circumstances. That Joe Girardi was stinking up the joint.

Everyone was mad that he lasted half as long as he did. And they fired him. And what did the Phillies do? They immediately went on one of the best runs they've had in a decade. And I wonder, like, do you think that is because the evil Philadelphia Phillies organization craves they have a bloodlust for people losing? their job that they are so anti-labor that as soon as they see someone get fired they're like it's time to play boys uh but i love this bit because the the contract's being guaranteed so they got

fucking paying anyway i just love it miltons just like i just love to see a guy get fired yeah i love it makes me happy yeah um i no i just it's just it's coincidence that this happened two times in a I don't really think it has much of anything, much to do with anything. But I actually have become a low-key believer in the fact that like as soon as you, like when you change managers, it doesn't actually matter what that manager does.

It's just the change. Guys are just like a little like 5% happier to come to work or like maybe not even happier because it does sound like everybody for the most part like Tapper except for Castellanos. But like, and they even they worked out on the remix, it sounds like.

But I just think that they're like 5% more curious and focused when there's a new manager. And Don Mattingly, you know, say what you will about whether he's like too old school for the modern game. He carries a deep, deep respect from professional baseball players. I mean, he's literally Mr. Baseball. That was the issue with Castianos and Topper. And also with, I think, Kevin Long was like, oh, you guys weren't actually like MLB guys. You've been coached. Like you peaked in the, in the minors.

And I don't really have anything to learn from you. How's that working out for him when he went to San Diego and played under a very recent MLB guy and Craig Stamman? Don't think he's really doing too hot. Is he, is he, is he, let's look at the old Nick Castiano stats. I do love his new pictures. He's all happy now. I mean, he's getting paid by the Phillies. Oh, batting 189.

Wow, yeah. OPS Plus is 54. Ah, these fucking new stats. OPS Plus, what the fuck is this shit? Oh, batting average is fucking bad. Value batting. What's our war here? Do we have, oh, baseball reference.

It's always hard to find the war. It's negative. Point nine on baseball. I fucking love it. I fucking love it. In 31 games, that's actually Loki impressive to have it. Yeah, that is genuinely impressive.

So bad He's gotten a hundred plate appearances And he has almost negative one more I have a higher batting average right now My softball league so you know Maybe Nick you could come come learn a thing or two Come down to the beer league Of course you know he would smoke every fucking ball

Out of the park Obviously yeah Obviously No we have a we have a guy We have a guy who was being scouted for for you know to be drafted and had an injury and he's a fucking ringer

in your league? Yeah. Oh, he's our team. How old is he? He's like 22. Oh, Jesus. Fucking ringer. Yeah, he had a severe injury and couldn't play. But the dude is like God, I would be so mad rolling up to the game against you guys. I'm a little, I'm a lot this fucking 22 year old Zumer and he's like secretly an MLB prospect.

I would be incensed. I'm a little mad too because that pushed an outfielder out and meant that I'm not starting a catcher right now. So I'm a little pissed about that. But you know, you know, again, get the swing back, hit my way back in the lineup, you know, how it is. Are they using you as a DH or are they using you as a pinch? They want to get everyone that they want to get everyone in.

So yeah, DH. Because you can bat as many guys as you want. I see. Okay. Yeah. And I like the idea of you guys batting 50 guys. You just roll. Everyone gets one at bat and maybe not even one.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that'd be fucking. Well, it's, it's, it's, um, this league has some weird roster rules. Yeah. Based on like past weirdness that happened and fights and shit like that. Oh, okay. Um, that's beautiful.

Yeah, it is beautiful. Anyway, Topper. Anyway, Topper, yeah, Topper. Okay, as a Phillies fan, have you noticed, other than the vibe of the team and they're winning, so they are much happier? But have you noticed, like, strategic differences? I feel like, no. I mean, for the most part, like, managers nowadays just do the thing that they feel they are supposed to do that the front office wants them to do. So without a change in the front office, like, you're not going to get that much of a bed at your own shift other than vibes.

I mean, I'm sure there's someone, like, the scouting department, every game kind of has like, here's some shit you should do if this comes up. Like, I know they have like prep, they prep for this stuff. Yeah. So, so the game after Topper hip had fired, it was like somber. Like the guys, it was not like celebratory. When Joe Girardi got fired, those guys were fucking happy as fine. I know.

Yeah. They were like popping bottles. Yeah. They were like, thank God this asshole is going. Because he wasn't let him listen to the music in the clubhouse after after a loss and shit like that. Classic Yankees behavior. Yeah, it's strange. Very Yankees.

Extremely Yankees. Yankees and sound, man. There's something going on there. But I kind of feel like they would have regressed to the mean at some point because they're not a bad team, despite what everyone on sports radio in the city is saying. They're not a bad team. They have weaknesses. But so does any team. We're not the fucking Dodgers.

Like, you know, we got fucking Alec Boehm starting. I don't know what to tell you. It's honestly a miracle that Alec Boehm is still on the team. It's a fucking miracle. Not all miracles are good, but it is a miracle.

I mean, good for him as he figures out this shit with his parents. Have you guys? Yes, I'm familiar. Yeah. That is crazy. That's fucking insane.

It is so obvious that the parents are just dip shit. Scambers. Just total scam artist. And they're trying to be like, it's this new girl he's dating. It's like poison. Like, fuck you.

Just give your kid money back. Yeah. Oh, the first person he's ever met and had a close relationship and talk to other than you has a different take-up situation. Yeah.

Because clearly, clearly all the brain cells migrated to the follicles. Yeah. Because he's his gorgeous locks of hair. His hair is beautiful. Yeah. It's a nice looking man.

Yeah. He's a handsome man. I have debates with with Stephen from bat batting around about his physique. So you can have as a man of the iron. Man of the iron, yes. You know, we can talk about physiques in a manly, not manly in a, with the straight gaze.

And to be clear, that's gay's T-A-Z-E. Because it's not gay to look at bodybuilders, right? Correct. Whereas Stephen is looking at him with the, I want to fuck this guy, gays. Uh-huh. We have a debate because he thinks Alec Bowman is hot and I think he's got a weird physique. He's got a weird bird arms. He just kind of looks like a guy.

Like he doesn't really look much like a professional athlete, but that's okay. He looks like a swimmer. He looks like a swimmer. He has like a swimmer's. Kind of, but he's not like, swimmers have like the classic V shape and he's just sort of a little, he's a little lanky. You know, he's a little stinking. like yeah but um but you know that i mean that could be enjoyable it could be enjoyable if if that's your thing you know tackled correctly yeah i mean i'll have this out with stephen as well

we'll talk about this yeah we'll you know we have to have like the algonquin roundtable of is alec bohm hot let's get everyone's perspective i doff my cap to you sir a respectable opinion i don't agree with it but i will fight with my life for your right to say it Listen, the men in the arena here. We're the ones who are actually able to say things. We're exercising freedom of speech. I salute the. Oh, boy.

That's very funny. So, yeah, I mean, it's a miracle. Obviously, like you said, that he's on the team. So you said you were thinking about who are the, who's the, who's a good candidate? Because he tried to get Alex Corrin. He's like, nah, fuck that. I'm going to Puerto Rico. Yeah.

I'll fucking chill in, man. That's dope. Alex Cora is dope. Anti-work king. Absolutely. No one wants to work anymore after they got fired in a guaranteed contract.

I've decided that the worst, well, there's a couple. First of all, the Phillies have already employed one of the guys who I think would be the worst possible person now. It's Gabe Kapler.

Are we bringing them back? Bring back Kapler. That would be one. Oh, number two. I think, I don't think Kai Karea would do well in Philadelphia. That's the Mets bench

coach. Yeah. Who was Gabe Kapler's bench coach in San Francisco. This is the guy who's like the nerds nerd. Yeah, he's got the sharp, he's got sharp looking glasses.

Correct. Yes. I just don't think that that would vibe well in Philadelphia. I think like the moment one thing went wrong, they'd be like, and this guy wears fucking glasses. I don't know why I gave them a New York accent.

Yeah. I don't think that would do so. well. He should be like what's the most Midwest emo team? He looks like he would play a guitar on a math core band. Yeah. What is the most Midwest emo team? Thank you for the question. I mean, that's a that's a that's a lot to think about. Um, so I know that's a that's a specialty of yours. It's a specialty. It's a special interest. It's a special interest. Actually finding a way to talk about the different waves of emo music is a special interest of our podcast. You know, you might think like maybe the answer should be a Midwest team,

But Midwest emo is not only confined to the Midwest. Right. That being said, I like the twins for this. Hmm. Mm. Okay. Okay. I like the twins for this.

I can see that. I could see that. Especially considering how sad they are. Incredibly sad. Yeah. Just go through all those different sub-genres. All right. What was that fucking?

What was that fucking? I don't think they were email, though. They were like a college guster. Like, what, yeah, what fucking baseball team is the most like guster? And what ever think of that? If I'm being honest, though, like, the Phillies are one of the most Midwestern emo teams. Like, they're in the top three. And they're not number three.

Defend your thesis. Back to the Algonquin roundtable. I see your point. Now, give me your thesis. I think, prove your thesis. To me, I know they're not the earth. Midwest emo band. That's probably American football.

But modern baseball is probably the one that occupies the most space online for whatever reason. Like if I tweet about modern baseball, like if I tweet a modern baseball joke on tipping pitches, that is getting some likes and impressions. Let me just tell you that much. And modern baseball, a quintessential Philadelphia band of the 2010s, quintessential. Okay. All right. And this wave of emo is still alive and well in Philadelphia, too. You know, some of our great, some of our great bands, Carly Cosgrove, post-Midwest emo.

You're going past where my knowledge is, but that's fine. I'm just going to start saying a bunch of bands. So do we have, like, I'm aware of America, American football, correct. Or not, do we have like Canadian hockey? Do we have Turkish basketball? Turkish basketball would be an awesome band name. You know about Sweet Pill? I mean, they're making the case for why the Phillies should be the most Midwestern emo band.

Well, listeners, you'll have to call in 267717171717. 7218 because my, well, I'm over on Apple Music now because Spotify, we know, right? Me too. The feds, we don't want to, we don't support that here at 10,000 losses studios. we're, well, we're not woke, but we're awake. Hmm. I saw the little bumper sticker.

Fuck it the other day. Oh my God, bro. Next to co-exist. Type a guy who votes for Trump. Yeah. I'm not woke, I'm awake. Coexist. Not woke, but awake.

Coexist and then a pickleball. Oh, my God. Dude, this is this is Bush County. This is your Bucks County median voter right there. That's right. That's the swing state in them. Yeah, my musical genres are Like fucking melodic death or black and folk metal

Scandinavian bands I have to really just double check to make sure they're not Nazis And they're know with them You genuinely Never know Correct Unless they're obvious about it And even the ones that aren't obvious You know

They still might be They still might have a basis But no one gives a shit with the basis things Oh, yeah. I always laughed about how like the drummer is definitely the one who is like far right in basically every band that I liked growing up. Like my kind of romance, system of a down. System of a down, yeah. Like you can never really trust the drummer not to be a Nazi. That's unfortunate.

I think they're getting micro CTE for all the percussion. Hell yeah. Great conspiracy theory. Let's get that started guys. Let's start spreading that around. What's up with these drummers these days, you know? Yeah. Doing a pipe rock theory style video about drummers from emo bands, metal bands.

Oh my God. We can start, but we can start throwing accusations at the emo guys too. True. And the other hat, making me woke, you know, like selfie camera. Circle around it, the drum. In case you need to know what it is. Arrow. Arrows.

Yeah, yeah. See, these fucking emo bands, they're not Sigma enough. They, they play too soft for the percussion to, you know, strengthen their. They're blood and soil part of the brain. Their chi. Yeah. The other half is like right now, it's honestly, it's like folk music and sea shanties. So this is the two.

Oh. Yeah. I got in the weird mood because I took two vivances by mistake. That happens. I forgot. I took my first one. So I entered mania. The first one hadn't hit yet.

They hadn't hit yet. Yes. And I entered mania. And I listened to the ballad of the 20th Maine. have you ever heard that nope listen to it when you get a chance it's like the official

ballot of Maine but it's about a regiment that you know have you seen the movie Gettysburg no I was too busy listening to modern baseball

you're too busy like having fun at Midwest emo shows yeah dude look at this the awesome fucking sneakers I have and watching every Scorsese movie in chronological order for the fifth time.

Well, listen, it's not a Scorsese film, but Gettysburg, just don't pay too much attention to how big the extras are in the background. I don't think you guys marched from Northern Virginia up to fucking Gettysburg. But it's about the 20th of Maine. And it's like Joshua Chamberlain, they had to stand there. It's like, we're going to swing like a door, we're close like a door. and it's a great scene in the movie. That's what the song's about.

But the real life guys. So I cried on the way to work listening to that. So since then, I've been having a lot more folk. I see. So in a way, like, you were you vibe, you were vianced out, but it had a nice ending to the story. So, so this is a new turn because I'm an older,

I'm an older millennial. Do you say vibe manced? No, no, vivanced. Oh, Vivance. All right, because I thought vibe manced. was like, is this like a, is this a new, this is what the kids are saying? Some sort of zoomer thing I don't know about.

Yeah, no. You're or farming, your vibe fancing, your Ohio rising, I don't fucking know. Exactly. Man, I'm so upset that when we did our bonus episode about,

you know, lifting forum culture that we didn't know about clavicular yet, because that could have been another 30 minutes, at least another 30 minutes on that. Maybe we need to do 2.0. We can do 2.0. And a friend of the show, Patrick, was sort of mad that we didn't have him on as well. So, like, we'll have to get you on there, too.

Him on there with you. And then... Speaking of a roundtable, I mean. We can get, um, we can get, uh, Greg from, uh, Bringum Young Money. He's another hymbo. Okay, great. Yeah. We could bring in Alex once he's been six months on the Bryce Harper protein that I bought.

Oh shit. Oh, shit. He would, you want to tell us about this Bryce Harper protein because I had like flash before, like, I had like, oh, there's brace over protein. And they're like, something else must have happened and I didn't sink in my brain. And then you said this on our little chat that we had. And you're like, I'm like, oh, fucking hell yeah, brace up of protein. What the fuck is this?

You got to let us know. Okay. So about like two months ago, I, I'm not on TikTok, but I see many TikToks, especially when they're baseball related, get reshared to Twitter, aka X the everything app, plays. your glory. I'm so sorry. I'm really sorry to everybody listening, especially the people in Ohio who I already offended once and now have offended

again. They're not blazing any glory in Ohio. They're blazing their way over here. Well, yeah, the caps. Although that was not a putrid performance last night. So I got served this video of Alex Bregman, now of the Chicago Cubs, doing SpanCon for a protein powder made by just ingredients, the protein company.

They're like a supplements company. They make protein powder and they make other supplements, et cetera, et cetera. And they're like one of these places where like you go to their website and you just see like a horizontal scroll of all of the like, quote unquote, like reputable magazines who have covered them. Like I'm looking at it right now. It's like health feed.

Health magazine. Fox business. L.A. weekly. It's like, okay, like, is this lending you more credence? This is where, listen. Because USA Today wrote a story that you planted

with their PR department. Talk to me when you're in fucking T-Nation, buddy, okay? Yeah. Where you're a bodybuilding.com, the miss. Exactly. All right. Talk to me when you've hit the subreddits, everyone.

All right. Anyway, so I saw this video and it was Alex Bregman doing the worst sales pitch for a protein powder I had ever seen. And he was like, yeah, this is for my buddy, Bryce Harper, you know? And I'm like, first of all, I didn't know you guys were buddies. But I guess, I guess you are.

I guess USA baseball, I guess is the link between them. I don't know. They're like not really the same age. But anyway, Bryce must have sent this to him or Justin Gradients must have sent this to him. And it's a collaboration between Justin ingredients and Bryce Harper. And here's the description of this. it's third party tested, of course, with no unnecessary fillers

and transparent formulas. His viral TikTok recipes, now protein powders made with simple, real ingredients to fuel workouts, recovery, and everyday life. So Bryce,

as you know, had a brief dalliance with TikTok celebrity where he was making raw milk lattes, banana bread, many things. Yes.

And so they've made protein powders out of those recipes. There's one called Bryce's banana bread and there's one called Bryce's caramel latte or caramel latte if you prefer to pronounce it that way. I'm not going to be yucky or either way. And so I

decided, you know, Alex and I every year, I say every year, but last year was the first year that we did it. We do this taste test of all of the MLB-branded alcohols that we can get our hands on. So if a player owns an alcohol company or is a prominent

investor or sponsor of a type of alcohol, you know, like Aaron Nola and Yingling. I don't mind spoiling that we're going to taste the Aaron Nola Ngingling, which is just yingling in a blue can this year, on this year's version of it. So I decided like last year we also had, Ian Hap has this coffee collaboration. So we bought Ian Hap's coffee. You know, I pulled a little espresso shot. We made an espresso martini with it with Ian Hap's coffee and Mike Piazza's vodka. So this year, I acquired Bryce Harper's protein with the intent to make some sort of fuck-ass protein cold foam to put on top of some kind of cocktail to kick off this year's, you know, alcohol taste tests.

We call it sipping pitches over there. But I just, I bought it. I bought it. It, they send me like no less than nine emails about the shipping information for, from just ingredients. It was one of those kind of things where like I opened the package and there was like a letter from the founder's wife in there or something. like that.

And it was one thing of protein. I bought the caramel caramel, caramel latte flavor. I don't know why I did that instead of the banana bread flavor. Right. Is it, or caramel latte? Yes. And it,

it cost me for, um, I believe it's, uh, like 20 servings, maybe. It cost me $65. $65.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. 65 U.S. dollars plus shipping. For 20 servings? For 20 servings. Maybe 25. You can get the like the 20 pound bag from Costco for that much of optimum nutrition.

I know. But it's all for content. This is a business expense. I'm not I'm not questioning your business expense, right? The content mines, you're right? They take more than just blood. They take our money. Correct.

But I'm just, they're selling this for $65, which is fucking insane. They are selling it for $65. Yes, it's 25 servings. I don't mean to slander, Mr. Harper, or just ingredients. 25 servings for $65. And you best believe I paid an incredible, incredibly high shipping price for this item. Oh, my God. You look very upset.

You look very upset by this news. Well, I mean, you're going to have to report when you try it. I actually, so I don't typically love like a very sweet protein powder. Yeah. And this is going to be really sweet. Oh, well, it's from Utah. It's from Utah. That's how they get around it.

I'm loving the pictures of Bryce Harper in a fucking sweater. I know. On this fucking just looking out the window, like having thoughts like this man has had a thought in this fucking life. As a professional athlete, I'm always mindful of what I put in my body. Just ingredients stands out for its commitment using ingredients. I truly support health. I'm thrilled the partner with a brand I trust. He's always mindful of what he puts in his body,

such as his own blood. The blood. Inferred light. Raw milk. Raw milk. So I looked up, I wanted to, for your safety, right? Because I, we hear it 10,000 losses, we believe, in safety. safety third as a subcommittee sub-corporate contractor of, well, there's a problem incorporated.

You know, so safety third's our motto. Perfect. So just ingredients, protein powder, lead report. Yeah. You know, a college new super coworker of me and Alex wrote that story, the consumer report, led report. Oh, did you? Oh, hell yeah. Did you do just ingredients?

This is a different one. This is from Lead Safe Mama. I have no idea who this woman is. Let's Safe Mama. Seven parts per billion of life. Let's Safe Mama call in. Boys are online. Two, six, seven, three, four.

Seven parts. Seven parts per billion lead. Is that a lot or a little? I don't know. You wrote the Consumer Report. Where's the fucking Consumer Reports are? I'll tell us you. No, no, no.

A college friend of ours wrote the consumer. Oh, I thought you did. No, no. All right. So, what's the cutoff? All right. So Bryce Harper's having a good year. You know, maybe this is worthwhile.

148 WRC plus. So the safe limit, where is the safe limit here? Sorry, it's dead air. The level of concern is 0.5 a microgram a day. So half a microgram a day. I don't know what that turns out, the parts per billion. but their chocolate has 12 and their fresh citrus tooth powder

has 593 parts for billion I don't know I don't know what the standard is please people with access to the material safety data sheet let us know how many parts per billion according to Google there is no safe level of exposure

which the less to let it yeah there's no safe drinking either, but still do it. The EPA's compliance threshold for public water systems is 10 to 15 parts per billion. Okay. So, well, don't drink the fucking tooth powder. Don't

drink that. 1500 parts per billion of arsenic in the tooth powder. Dude. That's a lot. That's a lot. Environmental Research Center, Just Ingredients. Notice of violation. The Environmental Research Center filed a notice of violation of

California law Prop 65 against just ingredients incorporated. I'm going to be honest. I'm going to eat the protein powder either way. Either way. You can have some lead once in a while. It's a little lead like my forefathers.

Yeah. Just a little bit. You're telling me there was no lead when they were building that scaffolding for the mom? Exactly. That's what they were eating for lunch. There was lead in the fucking... This is my fucking lead lunchbox.

He's like wiping his hands on the lead. Like it makes my fingers taste. It makes it feel a little sweeter. Delicious. A little garnish. So we'll have to, what we're going to have to do is pay for you. I know a psychologist.

We can get you an IQ test before and after. Hell yeah. We'll see. That is so fucking funny. Now, I have no idea if Led Safe Mama is, is Maha or not. She's also got Amazon affiliate link for her own

organic infant formula. So lead safe mama Yeah testing jihad rancher heart candies and green apple flavor for lead Delicious You ever think about becoming one of these kinds of people Like a food influencer? Don't you think it would be so easy I think about this all the time like I could just be like

My one thing is I make a latte every day and I talk about it Would that be yours? Would be a latte? No, probably not Although you could see a world You could see a world in which I you know me pulling a shot of espresso and sharing one strong take does garner me one million followers on

TikTok. I go to home goods every week and whatever random shitty espresso pod is what I pop in there and yeah those probably have some lead. Oh my God, yeah. They've moved well beyond microplastics for those little parts.

We got macroplastics in these fucking things. I think about, you know, I think about the phrase macro plastics a lot actually because my my water bottle, my reusable water bottle, the cap, you know, is quite old. And it, the rubber sealant is, is fraying. And it sometimes dumps a tiny little piece of the rubber sealant into my water. And I can see it floating around. And I think there's some macroplastics for me.

There go. But those pass through, you know, they, I think so. I think I have to over a certain size. I'm like, it's not going to stick in there, right? Yeah. Unless you're like a sea turtle. Then you, they get all that. Those are so sad.

They're all like, they got fucking shopping bags and her fucking stomachs and shit like that. Yeah, that is sad. Yeah. Not me.

I have the golf ball of microplastics in my brain, right? Ping pong ball, I think it is. Yeah. My friends over at Trilbillies talk about that a lot.

The ping pong ball of microplastics in their brain. Whenever they're doing a segment, they're like, it's not working out. They're like, well, probably because I have a ping pong ball

of microplastics in my brain. You want to talk about lead where they're from. Oh, absolutely. Oh, boy. It's not a thing of the past.

The fact that they're not senile yet is a testament to their, to their intelligence. Respect to the trailbillies. Oh, yeah. Truly the best pot out there. They're my, they're my, not that they're unattainable. I've literally everyone I know has been on, been with them. Like, I want them on my pot. I was like, Liam just, they just drove down there and were like, yeah, we're going to go hang out on their porch.

It's like, yeah, fuck. Yeah. Yeah. That's fucking rocks. I would say if you could be the food influencer, then what would be your one food you would have every day? Ah, yes. Yeah. Every day it probably would have to be coffee related. I would get sick of it otherwise. I was thinking a couple of weeks ago, I can't, the last time I did not have coffee in a day, like that I had no coffee was like 2015. I have not skipped a day of coffee since 2015, which is a long time. Like I worry that I would die without it. So probably coffee is what I would do if I had to do it every day. But I think that there is. is a market for like a normal guy making normal Italian food on Instagram Reels.

That's funny. I was thinking raviolis. That would be really satisfying. Yeah. And you could do a different one every day, different like shit in there. Yeah. Cut the shit out. We're going to go fucking becomes food influencers.

I don't really make ravioli though. It's more trouble than it's worth. And I'm not a huge ravioli fan. But you know, I make chicken cutlet a lot. Perogi is that anything? Perugis are awesome. Parogis are awesome. Parogues, yeah.

I am as Polish as I am at time, which is not a lot. But, I mean, thank you to the polls. Yeah. I can say Polack. You want to do your tight five of Polish strokes? You can get it. You could get away with them on this podcast. Someone's going to fucking hear it.

Dude, I was, I saw, although the Ohio crew might. There's a lot of fucking Polack. They already have it out for me, man. I don't want to offend them. I love Ohio. I've just never been to Columbus. I'm sorry. I'm sure it's a great town. I've been on the coasts. The furthest west I've been is fucking State College, Pennsylvania. So I can't say shit. All right. Besides the coasts. I mean, I've spent a decent amount of time in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.

And that's why I love their chili. You know, thank you for that great contribution, Skyline Chile supremacy. I was, I was seeing a, I was a rep screening of bringing up baby the 1938 Howard Hawks movie. and it truly has not aged a day. Like you could put it out right now. Every joke would hit except about two thirds of the way through the movie. They bring in like a housekeeper, like a gardener of sorts. And it's just this like, it's just this Irish guy. And he's just swigging whiskey out of the bottom.

The whole time falling over himself. And the whole joke is that he's Irish and drunk. And I'm like, the rest of the movie is like a perfectly. modern sensibility. It's so funny. Even the like gender dynamics are actually quite subversive. And then bam, just drunk Irish joke. I was like, wow. They were really

doing this back then in Hollywood. We got to hit our stereotype quota. Dude, that shit lasted long. I know. Are you Star Trek guy? No, I'm not. I'm a Star Wars guy though. I think we've talked about that last time. There's a Star Trek episode

and there's an Irish actor on Star Trek the next generation, right? Call Meanie. is from Ireland. He's a cast member. And there's an episode of Star Trek, more than one that's offensive to the Irish people, but Star Trek Irish episode. Let me look it up. The one in the second season.

It's called Up the Long Ladder. And there's like a ship in distress and they teleport. And Kalmini, an Irishman, is the transporter chief, Chief Miles O'Brien. So he's Irish in universe, too. And he has to teleport aboard, like, oh, let's, we're going John Ford. Oh, I begorah, geez, and you have, you have, you have, my favorite, my favorite fucking thing is this woman, she's supposed to be like your, your, your, your, your, your, your, your, you know, trying to kiss me or whatever. And she's wearing, she's wearing, she's wearing, like, a knit Aaron jumper, but it's a bikini. and it's so, like, this is offensive.

This is offensive. Like, they come on board and they're like, there's a guy who's got whiskey. Oh my God, I just opened the photo that you said. Yeah. And it's like, we, that doesn't look comfortable at all.

I'm sorry. Listen, if I, ladies, I like, if you're going to be wearing, where will you like, I want you to be comfortable, whatever it is. Yeah.

That's not comfortable. That's scratchy. You know, okay. these sorts of Irish stereotypes in movies much consternation has been had about about my people,

the Italians and how they used to be much lower in society you know and these types of stereotypes I don't really see them in old movies that I watch and I watch a lot of

Golden Era Hollywood movies I watch a lot of 30s 40s and 50s movies I don't see a ton of people going around in these movies you know a ton of waspy people being like, wow, you know, steer clear that guy over there. It really smells like garlic and he's got red sauce all over his

pants. Like, they just, that's, for whatever reason they didn't think that was his funny. He's one of those Italians. Yeah, like, there's there are movies about the fact that like they, you know, you don't want your Christian daughter marrying a Catholic Irish guy, but like it's actually part of the story. They're not just like lazy tropes or

two thirds of the way through the movie. They break in an Italian guy to smell like garlic. I don't know. I just thought that was worth sharing here. I don't really know. I appreciate it. No,

it's, it's, I mean, this is barely a sports podcast. If you haven't, this is like your fifth fucking time on here. Well,

I think finding a way to talk about Italian and Irish stereotypes is pretty Philadelphia of me. It is. We need the Polish stereotypes too. I mean, that's how we got there. Right.

Yeah. You wanted me to do Polish stereotype. I would like to do that. I'm going to go to this week X. We're going to get some fucking Giamkees, which are fucking gross as shit. I fucking hate them. The cabbage, stuff cabbage. I don't like cabbage really that much.

I like cabbage. Cabbage is good. I like other brassica. Don't get me wrong, but cabbage is not my thing. Well, I would never insult you in that way. I'm suggesting that you don't like other brassica. We got to keep the brassica lobby, you know. At bay.

Yeah, keep them. Yeah. Anyway, so I got the Bryce Harper Protein. It's here. it's in a bag it's in my kitchen I'm ready to try it I don't know should I acquire some raw milk

to mix it with yes and have you have you have you been with have you interacted with the Brigham Young Money guys no I think when you drink it I think you should reach out to them

and have them they're great they're very fun they can they're good podcast guys and uh they're funny as fuck Jordan reach out to Jordan okay it's worth it it's worth it because

we'll get you linking and building now Yeah. It's so beautiful. You got, you got a, you got to shout out your guys, you know? Exactly. And we shout out their podcast, even though they've had one episode the last year, but it's okay. It's okay. It's all right. Yeah, tipping business could never.

I have posting disease. So we every Monday bright and early 6 a.m. Pod's coming out. Speaking of podcast coming out. I'm a little mad, though, is I know you have some mutuals that were effectively wild. You know, yeah. Some relationships there. We've talked about for too many episodes, right?

Too many episodes. Too many episodes, three a week. Now they take one of them to put them on Patreon. Okay. Yeah, I wonder whose idea that was. Yeah. I wonder who could have thought about an idea like that. I have no idea.

But the one they put on fucking Patreon, which I'm not a member. I probably should be. I've listened to many of their episodes. Is the fucking, fucking Brad Lidge being in a, Etruscologist. Yeah, I know.

God damn it. I have a fucking... That's called a paywall. That's how they get you. That's how they get me. That's how they get your ass. I have a book called Zikrasna, which is...

You're too busy paying... You're too busy shelling out for the Philadelphia Inquirer, and you can't get five measly dollars a month to effectively want. Please, someone please help me. My family's starry. That your wife saved you by haggling on the phone. That could have went straight to eat over. To effectively what?

I should, fuck, what's wrong with me? Man, yeah, you got to manage your money better. You got to manage your money better. I have to join the, I have to join the, um, the tipping pitches. That's you guys. Batting around guys. Yeah. Yeah, you should.

That's, that's good bang for your book over there. There are some great episodes over on Patreon. Yeah. Um, I finally decided to, to pay it directly rather than steal it in the back end of Patreon since I work there. I was like, these are my friends. I should be paying for their podcast. There is one left podcast I've never paid for.

Oh, there's many left podcasts that I've not only have never paid for, but I've never even listened to a single episode. And I won't name them all because I don't have beef with them. I just don't feel like I need to listen to all these leftist podcasts. I'm living it. I mean, I'll just, I'll just say it, Chapo. Well, they're doing good. They're doing pretty good.

They're doing pretty good. Because Felix won't debate me. Oh, I see. He has bad. They have bad Lord of the Rings State. I see. Okay. So it all comes back to Tolkien.

Yeah. Tolkien was the fascist guys. Sorry. Well, I just recently watched all three Lord of the Rings in one day a couple weekends ago. Oh,

there's some unfortunate imagery in the films. That's... Well, there's also some fortunate imagery in the films, though. Those are incredible films. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. They're fucking amazing. Incredible. Peter Jackson is washed, but those films, really. The score, the score, too,

is, is I actually relisten to the score. There's like a symphonic version of it where they take it, get condensed to the six movements. It's like an hour, 20 long, and I will relisten to that. That's dope. Yeah. The only problem is that they cut short the music of the,

with the Roheum charge. They cut it a little too short. I was like, no, uh-uh, uh-uh. Here's a question for you. Which MLB team is the most symphonic version of the Lord of the Rings soundtrack? Oh, Jesus Christ. Who's the most symphonic? Who's the race?

Who's out there doing the right thing for like just, it's not the Dodgers, it's not the Braves, not the fuck of Phillies? No. Who's the most, well, who's fighting the most against evil right now? So. Who? Um, who's the most evil?

well like Dodgers Dodgers who's funny against them Padres Diamondbacks Diamondbacks are in the desert yeah they're kind of grotesque

in a way much like the Lord of the Rings franchise they're the guys from the other side of Mordor exactly they're the desert

they'll unfortunately code the desert guys that was extremely unfortunately coded that was not their best work no no and there's some even it's even in the books even in the books the one line he's like he's like he's like a black like a half troll black man or something like that it's like all right man we can chill with that yeah and i know they told him you know wasn't we know he wasn't racist but uh it's like

all right that's a little stop talking about blood lines too time product of a different time let's not have bloodlines so much let's not talk about bloodlines weakening because i you're talking about it in the way that other people don't really they're going to misinterpret that yeah they have haven't read the lore about, you know, the blood of westernness and elves and men mingling together. So, man, who? Mariners? They're Pacific Northwestern.

Mariners are good. That's a good one. They're one of the more ethical franchises, despite their, you know. Because there's this book called Dies the Fire. And it's like, what would happen if the internal combust engine stopped working? And a, and a sect of Tolkien nerds, become like, oh, we're going to be like the real life Dunedine Rangers and we're going to learn San Darren

and we're going to be fucking around the Pacific Northwest shooting arrows at like fascists which is honestly I kind of fuck with that. That's cool. I support shooting arrows at fascists. In any case, I'm getting hungry. I got to go eat dinner.
