Yeah Because I didn't ask Bobby to show me his whole Yeah I mean, it's probably nice, he's a nice guy Like he's like in shape, you know Right His hair right now is he's got really nice hair I know

I think he's got the Bryce Harper I think goes to that barbershop I'm video calls with him sometimes Yeah Um I take them from my car He's a little horrified but Like a really

recently? Yeah. What do you guys talking about? Cut this for a second. Wow. So. Bobby. So I didn't know how the extent of your relationship went.

Are you just going to say cut this and then it goes right back into the extent of a relationship? No, I was going to make a gay joke. I know. But don't do that. Come on. Don't be lowbrow. We're a highbrow podcast here. I'm talking about so it holds.

Yeah. Yeah. We won't make gay jokes. jokes. We only too. By the way, our gay jokes are only just calling each other gay. But not actually saying it without saying it. Anyway, yeah, he's making a heart and then something dropped.

There's a Lego. Oh, nice. Are you, are you Legoing while you pod? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, what do you got? What do you got? Oh, that he for speed. The speed champions, Bugatti Vision, Grand Turismo. Oh, I thought it was need for speed. All right.

No, it's speed champions. Speed champions. The slinky dog bookends from Toy Story. That's cute. I was not allowed to buy the MERS shipping container. What the fuck? Because I have another Lego model that's still like in pieces. Is it the Concord?

No, I want Concord though. I have the clearance to buy Concord. I just need to like get around to building my Legos. Yeah. I talked to my wife about becoming a model ship guy. And her first question, her first question was, I mean, she's like, all right. I mean, like, like, you know, if you got them, you know, we, we cordoned off spending money. Like, hey, when you do whatever fuck you want with you're spending money.

She's just like, where are you going to pull it? Which is the same answer I get when I talk about actually getting and building a real boat. And so she's confused the two in her mind, but both are correct. I don't know where I'm putting any of them. Well, ships, I'm like, the ships will just put it on the wall. They'll be decorations. She's like, really? I'm like, yeah, they're conversation pieces.

Yeah, I guess that's true. Yeah. I mean, how sick? Did you just rub your hands together? I just did a happy merchant. I'm doing anti-semitism, but did I just do like a little stim? Yes, you did. You clapped your hands like a seal, man.

Not fitting the allegations. Oh God. What was I going to say? Fuck. Legos, well, what's the Lego? We were talking about Legos. Concord. Concord.

What's the one I want? Shit. Have you seen the Mersk one? Yes, I have. I have. In that thread that Nova with the Paul Walker one. Yeah. Which is very funny.

No, I have like a flower. Lego, but I have to make it. It's actually quite a bit of pieces. I have a flower Lego, too. It's sitting on our shelf. So I have to make that. And then the dual fuel container vessel. I don't know why I wasn't allowed to buy this. I don't know. How big is it? It's pretty big, right? It's 1,516 pieces. Hmm.

It's a 7 inches high, 2 feet long, and 4.5 inches wide. Hell yeah. I used to be in a Facebook group back when I had Facebook. Hang on. I lost you for a second. that was just called Delaware River shipping. And it was just shippin nerds. Just posted boats, man. There was, isn't that, isn't there a guy?

It's like an example of like autism, like, who would just sit by the port in like the 1700 to just write the ships down. I have to find that. But it's, it's just beautiful. We've always been here. We've always, yeah. It's whatever. Trans people have those existed. And guys who like ships have always existed.

Guys, guys who just fucking love transportation. There's just something about trans. Because you know that's like a screener for autism, right? Like that's a real thing that they screened for in autism. No, I, I know. I've taken all the screeners at this point. You know, I don't pass, I don't pass the bar. I don't.

I don't. It's. As in you have autism spectrum disorder? No, I don't. We've talked about this. I don't clear the, I don't clear the diagnosis criteria. Liam's sitting back in like therapist's face.

Really? Tell me more about that, Tom. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's ADHD. It's ADHD. Do the same thing. Okay.

Okay, RFK. They're the same thing. We're doing this now. They're not the same thing. They're not the same thing because I'm going to be real for a second. I know we're just joking around. They're very much not the same thing. I'm aware.

I do. I want to say that there was a study out there that did, they compared ADHD, autism, and then combined, and then there was like a control group. Right. Okay. And it was how the brain, there was brain scans when showing faces. Right. And the person with ADHD and the person with the control, the same sections of the brain lit up when they recognized the face.

But the person, the people with autism, both, both cohorts, there was a different section. the brain that lit up, which might have something to do with like processing facial emotions and maybe not right away realizing stuff like that. Yeah. There's little tiny communication difficulties. And this is all part of a lit review I did many years ago when I was at Drexel for a little bit online. And the other aspect of it that's interesting is that both ADHD and autism, and this is

why I get, I think this is why I get along with people with autism is. One of us. One of us. Yeah, we're on neurodivergent. So, like, I ally, I will ally with, with the people with autism. Like, don't get me wrong. We're in the same bucket. Is the communication deficit.

So, like, the diagnostic criteria, I'm really reaching back to, like, my, my ed special program. But, like, the, the diagnostic criteria for autism, I think there has to be communication deficit. And then there's another aspect of it as well. And I don't have a DSM in front of me, but... Why not? The...

Right. What kind of teacher am I? The ADHD communication issues are basically entirely explained by poor socialization when you're a child because you're focusing on yourself. You're focusing on what you want to say next. Right. Waiting for your turn. That's a very ADHD thing. I'm familiar.

Yeah. And you're also running around playing in your own brain. Kind of, kind of shit, right? So you're, you, you are rude to other kids, so you're less likely to be brought into their groups. And so you're more likely to be poorly socialized. So when you're young, it can kind of, there's like a little bit of a like a common thing.

But, oh, the second aspect is repetitive the behavior. So you have a communication deficit, any of the repetitive behavior. Right. But where where this becomes, we're really fucking going academic right now. Where the interesting thing is, so I am someone who has OCD and ADHD.

And because I have OCD, there are repetitive behaviors. Right. Because they're rituals. So there is legitimately a problem of discernment issue in diagnosis for someone who's young with OCD and ADHD. And actually, OCD and complaining OCD in autism.

because of how it presents in younger kids. Because what's like the classic like autism behavior is like stacking things by like category. Yeah. Right. And I want to make that very clear. My wife did that as a kid. And, you know, I wonder what that is. Yeah.

But it could be OCD. because some people might think, oh, things have to be like, like. So it's interesting. So I view these disorders as sort of like they don't have the same origin, right? They all have three separate. Autism is more nebulous. We're not really 100% sure about autism yet. We know ADHD is a dopamine deficiency in the frontal lobe, which encourages people to engage

risk behavior to get dopamine and to focus on short-term dopamine fixes. So we know the ADHD. And the nor epinephrine processing is different too. Right. We know the OCD is like some, well, one, it's highly genetic too. There's a lot of, it's a lot of anxiety. It's like preventing bad things. And those are guys you want to know about Tom's OCD.

My OCD is chemical contamination of food. It is social, social behavior protocol. And it is clothes, if you want to know what my OCD is. Those are my three. What clothes? What do you mean? Making my clothes need to be right. when I'm wearing clothes.

So, like, I can't wear the same color shirt and pants. Okay. Like, it doesn't look right to me and it makes me anxious. Or if a clothes don't feel right, I want to strip them off and put different clothes on. That makes sense. Which, again, here you go. Autism. Sensory issues.

Right. Try and put my ass at turtleneck. try to put my ass to turn on neck here's the thing all right you're getting dressed what goes on jeans or socks first I'm thinking I put up my socks on last

you put your socks on last I'm socks first for someone with autism it's because of the sensory issue of the jeans against their ankles that's a very very common autism thing for me

I don't like putting on I don't like wearing jeans at all because I don't like the way they feel on my skin a good pair of jeans is nice like a nice comfy pair of jeans is good. And I don't like having things touch the top of my feet. Right.

So I mean, but also sensory issues can be ADHD as well because it's distracting you. I'm like, I am good. I am so, hey, this is a professional development here. I'm Tom Paine. Is that one sitting crisscross applesau? Masters of secondary education. I also have a postgraduate certificate from Drexel and special education here. We're going to talk about discernment of the different nor divergent things you're going to see from your students.

Um, you have to disturb is on and it's still ringing in my fucking ears. I don't know why it does that sometimes. Turn it off and turned it back on. Hopefully that. Nope. Okay. I'm just going to have to live with the ringing.

Is it, is it, uh, is it our friends? Nope. It's not our friends. It's my goddamn in-laws. Oh. Oh, no.

We found out who it was. There's part of me that wants to say the last piece, but part of me that also feels like it is a good time to segue. No, say it. It's, it's, so. someone with ADHD cannot prioritize sensory input without effort. So a scratchy ankle is the same as someone yelling in your ear, the same as someone touching top of your head, the same as a nice smell.

It all comes into your brain unprioritized, whereas in the non-nodivergent, your brain sort of automatically filters this. right so that's why if there's a sound outside and it's late at night and i'm not medicated i'm fucking looking while you're talking to me oh yeah me too which is come which is like conflict between me and my wife has been has happened when she's i'm it's after work i had a draining day she's had a horrible day because her days are usually worse than mine and she's telling me a story and i just start like like everything is like she's And you've met my wife.

She'd be very intense. She's telling me story intensely. And she's good at telling it. So I'm feeling the emotion. But then like the cat moves. I see the cat's tail. I'm like, oh, the cat. And she's like, why aren't you paying attention?

Like, I am. I'm trying my best. Everything's coming in. And my men's worn off. Please don't hurt by. Please put the frying pan down. All right. Well, hello and welcome to another episode of 10,000 losses.

We got a lot of stuff. Well, last week, we were so distracted by Brace Harper's protein powder and the lead safety reports on it. Oh, boy. That, that we didn't get to voicemail.

So I apologize. Wayne. Wayne. How dare I say that? Go fuck yourself. Hey, it's Wayne. Brown to hate him. Tom, fuck you. I'm going to take a hurly bat to your back of your fucking skull. I know where you hang out after work. At your house?

Hey, we met up at an undisclosed location. I still have the Irish count. That's right. Free all Irish prisoners of war. So did I tell, did I say that I showed this to our Irish friend? I showed the calendar to her final. She said, no, this is history. There's nothing wrong with any of this. Oh, good.

So I was like, all right. And then I said, what do you think about Sinn Fyne? Like, Sinn Féin, what if they become in power? She's like, oh, they're going to fucking, they'll fucking fumble it. Yeah. Which is probably true. Yeah. Especially since they're like now, they're now tailing the masses with the immigrant shit.

I know. That's fucking disgusting. You know better than that, boys. This podcast is officially asking for the Alster of Mary Lumen. Donald? Yes, we are. Yeah, get someone younger in there. Did you just type and look her up?

She was born in 1969. I thought she was way older than that. Oh, she's younger to my mom. That's why I'm confused. Get someone even younger. Get Tom in there. Oh, here's a picture for 2004. Eh, I mean, she's fine.

She's a lovely woman. We're not here. We don't rate politicians based on their attracting this. Unless the prime minister. Unless the prime minister, of Finland. She was also a socialist, I think, right? Yes.

Yeah. Well, ex-Prime minister of Finland. What's up? Didn't she want to give the business to Abigail Van Buren? Was that you? Did I say that? Yeah. No, Jefferson Davis's wife.

Yes. Oh, yeah, because you like pretty dark-haired women. Abigail Van Buren was an American vice comment. So we're actually talking about Van Buren's wife. Oh, that's the... Abigail Van Buren is fucking Dear Abby. Oh, who is? I'm looking at it right now.

Pauline Esther Phillips, Nate Friedman. Are you talking about Verena Davis? Are you talking about Sarah Knox Howell? Sarah Knox Taylor. Here's here, I'll put in the chat. This woman, who is a woman of your people, L.A.S. Friedman. From Sioux City, Iowa.

Look, my first serious girlfriend was Jewish, so he can't. I can't say. I'm susceptible. You got a type. It's the dark hair. It's the dark curly dark hair. That's what it is. I don't know what it is.

It just, it just, well, this I know your type too. But you also, you also, did you watch Andor, by the way,

speaking of, speaking of alien looking blondes? No, I will. You need to watch it because I think the alien looking blonde lady who's actually Irish, but,

and very good on politics, but plays a horrible, a horrible person and she was like the entire time I think you'll like I think you yeah hold on hold on

hold on not Deadramuro I'm gonna put this in the chat and I want you to tell me what you think yep yeah

Dejramiro do you do you do you want to be compromised and to a permanent end I want to be glared at and and the actual

I'm married to Corinne. There's a lot of glaring. But the actual actress, so she's Irish. And I think she's doing, and she's like a leftist. Nice. And Denise, Denise Goff. And so when she's actually, she's actually like pretty, like, she's obviously, they're all pretty. They're all active.

All the, everyone's handsome in Hollywood. But it's like, oh, I was like, she's doing, she's doing like a British rural family impression. I know she is. She has to be. She has to be. We're and or pilled, by the way. You need to get on that shit. I'll watch it.

She's also Yenifer and The Witcher 3. That's her. Okay. Yeah. Which, talk about brunettes. Classic brunette legend. Yenifer, shouts out to Yannifer from the Witcher.

You got a problem, my guy. Both, both the video game version and the TV show version. You have deep-seated psychological issues. It's like brunettes. All right, Phil Luffy, Phillies. It's talking about Christopher Sanchez. He breeds. He breeds.

He breeds Grover Cleveland, Alexander, who will note it's not the same as Grover Cleveland. No. Grover, must have been named after him, I imagine. I assume. It's like Kennesaw Mountain Landis where you're like, okay, well, you can only have been named after one thing. That all-time baseball name, though.

Yeah. His nickname was Old Pete for some reason. That doesn't make any sense. Yeah. So, uh, shouts out. the ongoing meme where it's like modern baseball player, probably Hispanic beats record by

Tunston Armad Doyle. Yeah, tungsten Armad Doyle kind of shit, yeah. But yeah, shouts out to Grover Cleve and Alexander unless you were a racist. Let's take a look at his. Probably, man. It was like 1911. I don't know. Maybe. Oh, there's a poem about him. A

is for Alex, the great Alexander. More goose hags he pitched than a popular gander. Yeah. Get it? He also played for the Cardinals. Oh, good. He played for the Cubs more than he played for the Phillies.

He played eight years for the Cubs. No, he did play eight years for the Phillies. Yeah, so Christopher Sanchez, that's a 115-year-old record. I do like when that happens, when these obscure-ass records happen. Christopher Sanchez, again, proving himself the ace. Right. ERA now of 1.47. Is it really that low?

Wow. Yeah. The Phillies continue to regress to the mean like I said they would. Yes. You did be saying that. And you didn't listen to the last week's episode with Bobby. We talk about that. So we're bringing Gabe Kapler back to the team.

Oh, yeah. Okay. Because he's not doing anything. So yeah, the Phillies. The Phillies actually swept the Padres who were playing good this year. He's a general manager of the Marlins. Yeah.

I do like Gabe Kapler because he's like the most left a baseball guy could be. Besides Sean Doolittle. Sean Doolittle, who's, wasn't he in DSA? Yeah, actually, Sean Doolittle, Bobby's guy's contact information. Talk to him, I don't know. I'm going to do it right now.

Here we go to DMs. Hold on. All right. I'm on this, I'm on their slack. All right. I asked Bobby. So we'll find out. First contact information.

Oh, yeah. Would you want to come on? Especially, I actually have a familiar connection to him. Someone I know. My aunt taught him. My aunt taught him.

If Sean Doolittle wants to come on or if Bob wants to come on. Oh, Bobby will come on any time. Bobby wants to come back on for another bonus. But I want Sean Doolittle to come on. I don't think you. I honestly want to see if you would actually want to talk about. what it's like being left the center in baseball. Yeah, that would be fun.

I don't know if he wanted to talk about that. But, oh, yeah, Verena Davis. Here we go. You put the link in, Jefferson Davis's wife. She could look disapprovingly at me anytime. Oh, do you know who's house I'm going to see in the country redacted? Who's? I'm going to go to her bedroom.

We already have the tour booked up. Oh, wow. Oh, yeah. The, probably one of the, I mean, she's a, oh, I'm looking at her pictures again. Oh, boy. You need help. I mean, come on.

Look at this. Or this one. Kaiser and Elizabeth in Morgan Leaked. Uh-huh. She was, she was, this is, look, the fucking anarchist killed her, too. She did not deserve it. She did not deserve it. More.

More blood. More blood. A real kind of, a real. A real socialist would have converted her to the cause. I could have done that. I'm going back at time. I can fix her. I can fix her.

As the anarchist comes to stab her, I'm going to like block her. I'm going to like, block her. I'm like, no, I'm a communist. You have to understand. I can fix her. Come with me if you want to live. Like going to a future. Shouts out to Empress Cece.

She probably did she deserve it? What do you think? Did she? Yes, probably. Did she actually do anything? Probably. I don't think she actually did anything. I think she was just like kind of like an obsessive woman.

She was like, she, talk about neurodivergence. She was like obsessed with her health like in a bad way. Oh, no. Yeah. All right. Let me close this. before I start looking dreamily into her eyes. Baseball.

Salary cap. Yeah. So the Players Union made their first proposal yesterday, and today, M.L.B. Responded. So yesterday, just some highlights of what the Union, the MVPA. It's 10.2 Braves, by the way. I fuck the Braves. I concur.

Ainty chop action. So the Players Union was, asking, the MEPA was asking for doubling the minimum salary. Good. Minimum salaries of $3 million in arbitration. Good. Moving the luxury tax up $56 million. Good.

A pre-arbitration pool of $180 million. That's another up. Also, they were asking for, there was a couple good ones in here that I thought really. Eliminating qualifying offer. Yep. more players eligible for Super 2 arbitration, which is if you're really good. Top 22%, so you could only have two years of arbitration.

Oh, Sean Doodle's a South Jersey guy. Yeah. He went to high school with a friend of the show redacted, who you met at my birthday party at that time. Oh, yeah, they literally went to school together. Oh, wow. They were in the same baseball team together. Wow.

And he showed his aptitude for baseball very young. Yeah, he was New Jersey High School player at the year. Yeah. Where was the, there was a really good one. Oh, it was like eliminating the minimum service years. The minimum service years moving up from six to five for players who were older than 30. Good. Yeah, for free agency.

So the MLAB responded. And they are not responding to anything without a salary cap. Right. So they're proposing a salary cap of $245.3 million and a floor of $171.72, 171.2 million, which is actually pretty high. Let me see baseball payrolls. Yeah. Yeah.

The cap is low. The cap is low. And the players actually proposed, they did, did they propose a floor? I think they did. Oh, good. We have the highest payroll right now. Do we? Yep.

We have $281 million. Oh, no, total payroll allocations were highest by active on the 26 man. So total allocations were fifth. So the union in their original proposals wanted a soft floor, they wanted to say competitive integrity tax and it would be $150 million. So I'm looking at the, I'm looking at, I'll go total payroll by allocations. So I think that makes more sense. Would you say it was $170? The floor.

The floor in the MLB proposal, yeah. I mean, half the teams are below that right now. Look in your way, Miami, Marlin, sell the team. Look in your way, fucking Pittsburgh Pirates. Yep, Pittsburgh Pirates. Don't for you. The list of shame. The Baltimore Orioles, boo.

The Seattle Mariners, boo. The Kansas City Royals, boo. The Cincinnati Reds, boo. Hit me up, Mrs. Redstock. You can call me anytime. The desk head tattoo doesn't stop you? Yeah, don't worry about it. Milwaukee Brewers, boo.

We're like Milwaukee booers. Yeah. Colorado Rockies, boo. Minnesota Twins, boo. Boots, boo. Boers, boo. Raids, boo. Cards, boo.

Athletics, boo. Oh, boo. That's boo. Boat. Nats, boo. Chicago White Sox, boo. Cleveland Guardians, boo. And Miami, Marlins, boo.

So what is the current top salary? But, yeah. By active or by total payroll? Whatever. Yeah, the act of the MLB payroll. The Mets with $334 million. Right. So the cap is day one is $245.

Okay. Well, so that would put the Mets, the Dodgers, the Dodgers, the Dodgers, the Yankees, the Blue Jays, the Phillies, and the Atlanta Braves all in the fucking salary, all in the luxury tax. Mm-hmm. But if you did active, right. right now. We slide in just under it by $700,000. So the current CBA ends December 1st. Okay.

Obviously, it's good that they're talking now. I, the big, the big, M.O.B. teams are crying poor, as they always do. They always do. They say their teams are not appreciating a value, but they don't fucking. open their books. Right. I know all the other big,

the big sports have a cap and floor. Right. MLB never has. And we're on the side, we're on the side of the players. Where we are. As always. Even the players could stand to show a little more solidarity

with other trades. Yep. I think that this is going to be hard fought. Yeah, this is going to be a lockout. There are owners who might not 100% be on board. Yeah, I do think this is going to be a lockout. It's going to be a lockout. Because all you need is the majority.

Yeah. And maybe Bryce Harper ends up in a ditch like fucking Mark DeRosa threatened. This is, this is, it's the first, it's the first offers in the bargaining. Hey, my union just started that too. It did not go well either. So we'll see what happens. MLB's revenues. This is burning the lead here.

right. MLB's revenues eclipse 12 billion in 2024 and pot presumably kept growing in 2025 this year they'll likely climb even higher maybe towards a past

13 billion. There's not a single I promise if we got the books tomorrow and not a single MLB team is losing money. No. No.

Because if you were, you'd sell. Yeah. Yeah. This is an income source for some guys. If you were losing money, you'd sell.

Yeah. It's it's bullshit Nationalized baseball It's really Yeah that's what we're saying But the second best thing would be for the For the union to really

Get off their heads Hold together Yeah For the union to hold together And make the owners You know Bleed a little bit here Yeah

I feel bad for the average Joe guys Who won't be playing You know Because they don't make that Much comparatively But guys like Bryce Harper can they can they can

survive right yeah he's got his toothpaste you know he's good so anyway did you see that Bryce Harper sucks the tooth face I want I want to open a question before we move to the to the mailbag yeah because we're doing mailbag early this episode is Bryce Harper doing this stuff on purpose

to get attention or is he that weird he's that weird he's Mormon dude I know but don't you think he knows at this point he's that weird he's just really good with PR no he's that weird I don't know I think there's a little bit of attention seeking in there too. Oh, it's probably both.

All right. No, he's putting his headphones in. Putting his penis away. All right. The zipper, he's muted, but I can tell he's talking about his penis is stuck in the zipper. Oh, no. It's so girthy. We have a bleeder.

Oh, remember that movie? So girthy. So, so at my softball game, the guys were like, zoomers won't know about Spike TV and The Man Show. and they were saying this like it was a bad thing. So much so better. Yeah, that's probably, and, all right, no, I won't.

I will go any further to that because there was some questionable shit set, but. Of course there was. We got DMs. I think you should do the first one because I'm going to do the second one. Well, can you get to do the second one? Because it's the one that I have to fuck with the audio and add drops. Okay, hang on one second.

I got a full screen of the nodes. It's wookie. You love the arena ball updates anyway. Hey, Tom, hey, Lee. I'm posting and Wookie with another arena ball update. This week, let's focus on the IFL, which is the closest thing we have to the AFL of old. Since COVID, the league has risen from a scrappy 6 to 8

Midwestern league team dominated by the Sioux Falls Storm and their seven straight titles to attractive former AFL Star Wars, which is the Azza and Rattlers, Jack DeVille Sharks, Green Bay, Blizzard, and Iowa Barnstormers. The league has focused on a main league team with the hockey teams with an established fan base in logistics, such as Vegas Nighthawks, Bill. Fisher's Freight and Tulsa Oilers.

This packed two weekends in an in-season tournament, the American Dream Mall between Vegas, Arizona, Orlando, and New Mexico, Trooperabas, which fucking rolls. Vegas on the tournament just weeks after they beat Arizona, which resulted in Arizona coach Kevin Guy crashing out and threatened to beat up the Vegas coach in the parking lot. Oh, I love that. With the bigger news is the expansion news.

While the league did tease the Jersey team playing in the old IZod Center that's been dormant for a decade, they did officially announce two expansion teams over the course of the week. teams in Athens, Georgia and Austin, Texas. Athens had an official press conference and included an ownership group led by Jerome the Bus Bettis and former UGA star David Pollock. Oh boy.

Unless it's publicly known about Austin, some digging led to an ownership group involving former San Diego straightforwards execs Vivi Lynn and former NFL players Rashad Williams and Derek Cox. Also teased was the return of San Jose's Bay Area Panthers. At a million, that would bring the league to 18 teams that's not including more rumor description. Please let Charlotte be a thing and retraction.

Same thing is hurling self-sword closure with empty arenas due to zero local marketing. Well, the rest of arena ball is messy. Right. Yeah, can you tell? Does probably stand closer what 2010 AFL was. Even if that means abanding long-term small wood western markets just as Sue Falls. Hit the character limit. So postman will be out.

I mean, that's good, I guess. that they, I mean, the I, the, the Aizod Center. I just had to look that up. That's in the, it's the Meadowlands Arena. That's right outside Secaucus. Yeah. Yeah, East Rutherford, New Jersey. Oh, it's across the highway from MetLife.

Okay. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. I'm surprised that's close. I'm surprised that's closed. Like, you can't do shit there? No, fuck you.

You get nothing. Hmm. The arena was frequently. cited the bottom of public polls. It was commonly referred to as quote, cold and dull in appearance as well as being, quote, cavernous. In a 2005 poll, USA Today rated the worst arena in the NBA

with the distance of the inexpensive seats from the court and the level crowding in the concourse after the game cited reasons. Construction workers are proposing that, all right, so this is an unsorted, unsighted quote here. Construction workers are proposing to demolish the

arena, but it's still standing in places of of May to 2026. Is what construction workers do? They're like, hey, this building's been standing there for a long time. I think we should probably knock it down. Knock it down, Chief. Listen, these fucking machines, if you don't use them, the oil dries up. I have no idea.

All right. We actually, we finally have heard her from her machine since she was last smacked in the head with a halogen tool. Halibald tool. Hey, tell me, hey, Liam. I know it's been a while, and the halogen tool shaped crater, my skull is mostly healed. So let's talk Cleveland sports. The Guardians are finally good after sucking absolute ass in the first month and half of the season. The ass interval rotation, Joy Cantillo and Slade Chichione have finally caught in a couple good starts under their belts.

No, it'll exclusion be, no, Chaconi, sorry, Chaconi start against the Phil's last weekend. Boo. And the bullpen with no exception of Peyton Pallet. What a fucking name. a name. Peyton Pallet. Payton. Payton.

Yeah. That's deliberate. Who we mercifully d-fated after Saturday. Seems to be getting their shit together as well. We've had some surprising breakouts on the offense, such as Brian. Brian Rochio and Hel Martinez and rookie Travis Bucer. Crook got hacked by a crypto. Wait.

Who did? John Crook. Did John Crook? Did John Crook get hacked? John Crook's Twitter, yeah. On on. Breaking news, breaking news. I've been investing in crypto wires, been paying off.

Treat myself to a brand new Toyota Tacoma. Dot, dot, today, comma. And honestly, it feels unreal. Huge shout out to my coach, Josephine Trades, which is definitely a scam account. For the guidance, seriously, couldn't done us without her. Welcome to Central Florida Toyota.

Um, going to go ahead to hit report here. Report post. Um, there's no other category anymore on Twitter. Absolutely. Empersoning. Uh,

I reported it anyway. Oh, God. John Kruk. And I love his pinposts. I ain't got damn no, I ain't got no damn computer up here. We know that. We do know that, Kruk.

Yeah. Um. You fucking animal. Oh, God. Poor guy. Who was the baseball reporter that got hacked a while ago? It was funny. It was,

was it Jeff Passon? I think so, yeah. Yeah, that was a good one. It was like, oh. It was during the last CBA. Yeah. It was during,

It was during NFTs. Remember NFTs, Liam? I do remember NFTs. Do you remember the one when the guy was like, somebody put an offer for $2.2 billion and someone else was like taking the guy was like, no, I'm not stupid. No, I don't remember that one.

Twitter is a cessful, man. I do remember all my apes are gone. All my apes are gone. All right, where were we? Oh, calves. Can you even die NFTs anymore? I'm sure they're still around. Oh, we're one of the three best read,

only good teams in the AAL, which has been turbo dog shit this year so far, and our nearest divisional competitor is the White Sox. The AAL is abysmal this year in general. Yeah, it's really bad. Cavs battled their way through the first rounds of the playoffs, immediately fall flat on their face, eat shit against the NICS. It was terrible.

And the NBA finals is going to be, what? Nicks and Thunder Spurs, depending on who wins. The Thunders have a chance to win tonight. I'm rooting for the Spurs. It's Wemby's on Spurs, right? Yeah, he is. I've always liked the Spurs. I've always liked Greg Popovich.

I think he's a really cool guy. I loved Tim Duncan. I liked David Robinson when I was a kid. I loved watching the Admiral play ball. I would actually talk to Popovich about politics. Yeah, he's a smart, knowledgeable guy. Yeah. He also used to coach the Air Force for some reason.

Wasn't he in the military? No. I thought he was. Oh, he underwent Air Force intelligence. Yeah, he served five years of active duty in the U.S. Air Force because he attended Air Force Academy. Yeah. Popovich, come on the pod, we'll convert you the socialism.

If you've seen what the shit he says, he's, he's halfway there. Yeah. Oh, for sure. He has a bachelor's degrees in Soviet studies. Yeah, he's, he's, uh, I'm, that's why I said I would talk politics with him. He's, he's, the stuff he said. I mean, he enjoys Joe Biden, but, you know, so did we? Did we?

We said, this is what we said. Roll the tape. I'm not telling you who to vote for, but we vote with ideology in the primary and with pragmatism in the general. Yeah, we do. And if you don't vote, we're not going to judge you. Yeah.

Because I think we just started when, we started when Trump's first presidency was ending. Right. So, Jesus Christ, that's crazy. For this dumbass podcast to be this long. All right. So back to, Rashine.

Each shoot against the next, beginning with game one, lost with a 22 point leave within seven minutes. Yep. Left in the game to lose an overtime, ending with 130-93 blowout last night. They couldn't shoot threes or free throws to save their fucking lives and Hardin turned over the ball like it was his job. Hey, hey. Welcome to the James Harding experience.

But it's all okay because Kenny Atkins has said they analytically won. I did see that. Two of the first three games. Okay. Hopefully he's analytically the Cavs head coach next year. after Dan Gilbert fires his bum ass along with Hardin. She's got these good fucking, I should have called in with this one. Another small bit of good news that I can finally ethically root for the Packers again,

now that they parted ways with sex best, Brandon McManus after drafting Florida kicker Trey Smack. However. Yes. The Packers, Josh Jacobs, was indicted for domestic violence. That's right. That's right. That's right.

I don't know if they've cut him. I don't think they have yet. Well, he's just, well, he's indicted at this point, so we don't know. He was released, no, he hasn't been indicted. He was released from jail. Oh. Investigation ongoing. Hmm.

I mean, I guess innocent until proven guilty. Cut his ass. You see Wander? Several domestic violence charges. Oh, fuck him. Do you see that Wander Franco was convicted? Yes. We haven't talked about that guy's ass in three years.

Thank God. I fucking hate that guy. But he didn't, he didn't get jail time. I saw that. And the defense was, well, the girl didn't say, the girl lied and said she was 18. Yeah. And then his, then her mother tried to extort him allegedly. I, it's a whole.

Well, look, the mom was fucking pimping the girl, too. So she needs to fucking go to jail too. Yeah. Hang her. Don't bleep that. Leave it in. I, well, here, I'll just pause it. I'll just, uh, we just got back from a personal aside, but death, all traffickers.

Anyway, um, if I find the person who did that personally, I would, gladly take a murder charge for someone who trafficked somebody anyway okay here we go this is where we're going to have the Vox Pop at long last a month late because of reasons don't worry don't worry

Roshin's been keeping me updated and I thought this was all going by the wayside but she actually went out and talked to people good for you Roshin yeah here's my Jimmy Dome groundbreaking report specifically significantly smaller in scale than I initially hope And here's the thing.

I've learned this from podcasting for what? What, you have four years, five years? I don't know. Yeah. Do not, your ambition's going to get ahead of you. Keep it small. Keep it small. You guys have definitely contributed a lot.

You and Mike to the podcast. It doesn't have to be the huge mega giant bit. And we appreciate it. And also, you got some good Voxpops. So we're going to get to that a second. but let's um, Rishin went to the Jimmy Dome.

I want to set this set this up. Oh, actually she talks about it. No matter. As Tom mentioned a couple episodes ago, I was unable to get into the event, invite only invent itself. I did earnestly inquire by actual press credentials,

but never got to reply. Actually, I helped, uh, Rishin with the, like, she asked me how she should go by it. I was like,

go ahead, fucking see what happens. Yeah. Um, we probably should try and get a website so that way we can sound more legit, maybe? Yeah, we'll host it on the same one we use. Well, there's your problem for.

There you go. Because if we can actually start getting people into events, that would actually kind of fucking rock. That would be funny. I like that. And I was thinking, I was thinking, this is inspiring. We should do a Vox Pop down at Citizens Bank Park or the Lark. Sure.

All right. But anyway, back to this. The Mai Tai is kicking in. Sorry. So I just walked a perimeter, snapping a few pictures on my way back to the Brook Park Rapid Station. I hope there be a few protesters at the event, but then were to be found. So I went downtown to get a few vox pops from people regarding their takes on the stadium and said.

But only managed three. Other off-the-record comments were also mixed. As for the event itself, they shoveled the ceremonial ground-breaking dirt into a scale model of the future stadium. A move which struck metric Michael Ad. That strikes us as odd as well. That's weird. That is weird. Against the bat track of a screen to say Cleveland deserves this.

That's true. Which may or may not be portentious of future lackluster performances from the current lackluster team. I'm going to say, if you, we sucked a Roman priest into the future, that's a bad omen. Yeah. That's not portentious in a good way. That's, that's, that's, that's, the vultures have circled three times the wrong direction. We're not fighting in this battle today. No, that's, um, here's the three people I managed to interview.

interview, what I managed to interview how to say, insert vodka pops here. All right. So let's go. We got the first one. Maybe edited it for length in post. My thoughts, I like the old one better, but because, you know, it's been here for years. So it's like a memorable thing. But the new one, it's cool. I ain't really been to it in person yet. I plan on going. Um, and what would I say? I claim funny uses. You know how they're using like $600 and the tax pay of money? Shoot. I don't really got too much to say about that. I just really, the thing I really hope is,

the thing I really hope is that, They at least give something to us and give it back, you know. Shoot. If you see people out here in Cleveland, you know, with people on the corner, you know, people like, people like me that need, you feel me? So I just hope they give something back. And any other thoughts on that matter, I really don't have no other thoughts. All right. I just, you know, hope they use some of the money to make Cleveland at least a better place.

The stadium, you know, it's cool. It's okay. Nationalize the NFL. And that's really it. Nationalized Football League. Can I get a name? You can use a nickname or pseudonym if you like or stay anonymous.

My nickname, they called me M-E-I-R, M-E-R, M-E-R. M-E-R. Okay. All right. Thank you, Mare. You're welcome. All right, shouts out, Mir. You can go ahead and go on the pod chaser and add yourself as a contributor to this episode if you listen to it.

Yeah, go for it. I do think I could get Mier on our side in about five minutes. Oh, yeah. He just felt like he didn't know enough to like sort of express himself. But when he's talking about getting the money back to the people,

you're, you, one of us. He knew, he knew. It just couldn't put it in words. Oh. You're right, Liam? Yeah. Liam is standing up right now.

I almost said Ream. Riem. That's written and Liam combined. Yeah. We combined your last names. Let's combine your, uh. Reum,

Dick Anderson. Yeah. All right. We got our second Vox Pop here is Charles Barkley. So my thoughts on a new Brown Stadium. I think it's like kind of stupid but not at the same time. I see that one of like new like new parts of like a new stadium like an inside. But it was really no point though.

But it's probably better for like new people like coming. Like if somebody moving in or like the Cleveland area, they could like like like the the new stadium type. All right. And then can I get your name? If you'd like, you can also go by a pseudonym or anonymous. Charles Barkley.

All right. I love Charles Barkley. Thank you, Charles Barkley. I like it. It's stupid. But do people move to the suburbs? I like how people are like very inclined to be like, I want to give both sides.

Like, your first impulse that it's stupid was right. Yeah. I have a feeling we need to do like a Cleveland trip at some point. We'll take Matt and Patrick. Yeah, we'll take the gang. We'll take Matt, Matrick? Matrick.

Matrick? All right. We got our last one is Craig. And then your name, please. All right. My thoughts on the Brown Stadium in general is that I don't think they should move. They should stay down town.

Absolutely. Help the people of Cleveland War instead of on the suburbs. That's in my big, it's a shame if they keep on progressing with that I think it's going to be a big lossful it's going to make Cleveland go downhill a lot especially in the downtown area

it's going to happen after that fair point yeah fair point Craig Craig gets a box pop of the episode all right can I do uh yes as always yes as always go guards go cows

go pack go go go go go fills go birds go birds Fuck Jimmy Haslam. Fuck Kenny Ackinson. Fuck, Kenny Ackinson. Fuck shoes hard. Fuck whoever got me sick for like the fourth time, five months. Fuck Ohio State. Fuck Penn State. Death to America.

All right. Do you want to read Charlie? Yeah, right there. Hey, Tom. Yay, Liam. If Bobby is there, hello, and if not, fuck you. Charlie from Roxborough, he, him, recapping the first half of the Philadelphia.

Oh, I should get into character. Recapping the first half of the Philadelphia Union season. I say, I turn a seven a week. Oh, God, Br. Joel Honchin of mystery science R-Sty 3K can sum up this season It stinks The Union have one win

Four draws and 10 losses Which is 7 points of 15 matches Which is dead last the overall table Four points behind Atlanta United And then scored in Kansas City They're all in the final playoffs on the east The Union went into the break Losing 6-4 to enter Miami

In a Sunday night National Televised match They were up 2-0 after 10 minutes and three to one after 20 minutes only to be down a goal at the 45th minute, needing a second penalty to level at the half. The second half gave two goals late after the union's last centerback was stubbed out with 23 minutes left. Every addition for the union have not worked out,

and the young backlight have been struggling with conceding 30 goals of 15 games. Last season's pick up Malana Lasky as a leading goal score with seven goals and 16-year-old. Let's say 16-year-old. Wait, hold on, hold on. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Yeah. I didn't know that was allowed. Kavan Sullivan, Sullivan, Sullivan.

he's in IBX ads has leads the team with three assists which are are only bright offensive spots offensive bright spots the shithead sporting director Ernst Tanner he's fucking 16 man he's playing pro soccer that's cool that's cool I wish I was that cool all right moving on swith yeah he's out yeah he's out of sweet he sucks who cares oh he went to st jo's prep oh he did did he go to pre he a prep boy yeah is he yeah is he a prep boy yeah bet he fucking is wait should be on the north asshole no his dad did his dad did his dad dad that his dad

that my reopened north just for this kid yeah oh this is this is half the guys in my yearbook look like this guy

did you finish no I'm not done you in the way again sorry sorry god the shit head sporting director Ernst Tanner will be off unpaid cop vacation

because untied and complete his MLS mandated all online training courses which this could lead to a change of manager is unlikely

the union updated news. The MLS worst Philadelphia Union fire coach Bradley Cardinal. This was yesterday. Did you not sneeze? Swear to God,

I heard you sneeze. Okay. Did you sneeze? Okay. I mean, you do live on the haunted ground. I do live on haunted ground. Hey, we paid for this.

William Penn paid for it fair and square. I mean, yes, he actually did. We talked about this. The union also had the lowest payroll in MLS after spending the most in transfer fees in team history in the off season.

I don't really see a way where they can turn this round after the break. The break will be in the summer transfer season, which could lead to more departures to the roster outside of any drastic changes during the break. The wooden spoon is going to Chester. Anyway, fuck Penn State, all caps. Fuck Ohio State.

Fucker and Stannor. Fuck Johnny Baby and Dyeh from Queens' World Cup. And go around to do the funniest thing possible this World Cup. Oh, hell yeah. Oh, hell yeah. I hope that happens. My God. Yeah, they did fire their manager.

I think, I think Charlie put this on the podcast mailbag. the 25th. So. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So they did, they did fire that guy. All right. So we got a few voicemails. First is from Wayne, who I accidentally mistype as Watney. Of course.

Watney, Houston. Yeah, Mark Watney. All right. Shouts out to the Martian. Hey, Tom, me, Liam. It's Wayne. pronoun to him. Calling the recap, arguably, probably one of the wildest soccer matches I've ever seen. Just in general, not necessarily live, but just in general on TV.

So today, it was Celtic versus Hearts, and Celtic pretty much had their back firmly against the wall. It was either win or lose the league title. Celtic eventually actually fell behind thanks to a shankling goal. by hearts and the 42nd minute but literally in the in stoppage time Arnangles was able to

convert a penalty after a handball in the box by Hartz making it a 1-1 it went into halftime at that score if the score is held hearts would have won the league but some of them just

self-in managed to pull the league out of their out of nothing and Danza Maeda managed to convert on a goal that was initially ruled out for off-sides. Upon review, he was revealed that it was on-sides because the perverse pass went to a man that was on-sides, and Maeda was behind that man who carried up the ball up towards the end line. My-eida scores, make it a 2-1 Celtic. Hart eventually had to push everyone forward, and it led to eventually Celtic score.

a culture goal, Osman, with an empty net goal, because Hart's got up the keeper, and with that, Suffolk have scored and have won their 56 league title passing.

Rangers. Hell yeah. Of the most number of league titles in the Scottish game. You can say it was bad for football or you want. You can go fuck yourself quite frankly, as Hart basically are Rangers many Rangers is in Edinburgh and quite frankly I want to say Martin O'Neill is probably

enough of an American worker where the Catholic self-defense would petition Pope Leo to canonize them no quite frankly that was the most stressful games I've ever in my entire life and I really hope to not repeat that at least for another three months on top of that Bowes v. Draga United on Friday and we're not going to talk about Liverpool because I want Arnslet

on Arn's slot fired. Have a good weekend and fuck Penn State. Fuck Penn State. Indeed. Fuck Penn State. All right, thanks, Wayne. All right.

Our next one is from Bobby. We've heard from Bobby in a minute. So let's listen to Bobby. Hey, Tom. Yay, Liam. This is Bobby from Western Maryland. Browns, he hemmed.

A long time, no call, but what a week, Arsenal, are Premier League champions after 22 years. And I have almost nothing left to say. It's been a phenomenal season. We've pissed off everybody.

And everyone can just eat shit 22 years. and they're back where they belong. Six days' time, they have a chance to become European champions as well. Fuck PSG, but, you know, because Arsenal played boring football, everyone's been rooting with PSG, even though they're a state-owned, Emirati-owned club, just like City are, and everyone's rooting for City because...

I wasn't rooting for City. I'm pure of heart. Corner kicks. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Beautiful, wonderful, World War.

wide week-long party. The thing about Arsenal's are always trying to walk it in. Forgive me somewhere to call and rant about this, as if I haven't already been ranting to everybody. I know all week. So go Arsenal. Fuck City. Fuck Bernardo Silva.

Fuck Thomas Parte. Fuck PGMOL. Fuck everybody. But Arsenal. Fuck Penn State. Well, yeah. You want us back there with the fuck Penn State. And Bobby, Bobby says,

Oh, I will read this. Go ahead. And fuck Manchester United fans, specifically for rooting for their all caps. Fucking city rivals to win the title of our Arsenal. Scumbag shit right there, but hey, they are United fans. Bobby from Western Maryland.

Thanks. Arsenal, like, I know Mom Donny likes Arsenal, but I don't know how you form allegiance to a Premier League team. I like Liverpool nominally. Aren't they like the more lefty ones? They had a socialist as a manager for a while, didn't they?

Liverpool. Yeah, I believe they did Yeah, I think so Talk to Charlie about that I think we've talked about this before I think we have All right Our last voice mails

Because one ran long Is Henry from Minnesota So let's hear We love Henry I'm sure it's about some sort of fighting game Yay Liam and Aloha Tom Henry from Minnesota pronouns heat him

Calling in fresh off of a trip on an Amtrak Empire builder. Hell yeah. Nice. Way out of the Windy Apple, Chicago. The Windy Apple. The Windy Apple. Fresh off another weekend at another fighting game tournament. This time I attended Combo Breaker, which is probably the second biggest tournament.

I've heard of this. But God damn, this wasn't easily the best one I attended. Then you didn't feel cramped. Everything was reasonably laid out. And best of all, super well air conditioned, meaning that even when I was packed shoulder to shoulder with other people for 14 hours during top eights, I felt cool as a cucumber. As usual, I will

say I will explain from giving a full rundown of how each and every one of the 24, yes, 24 different games that all had main stage tournaments and just give you some quick, interesting developments and my personal highlights. In the game 2XCO, Sonic Fox and their partner, as in Battlebuddy,

not significant other, I think. In them became one of the first duos to win a major tournament. To briefly explain, 2XCO is a game where each side is made of two characters and has a mode where you can have one player control, one character on one team, and another player control another character on the same team, making it the first co-op fighting game. It hasn't seen a whole lot of pro success yet because you need to have

Pacific Rim-style drift compatibility for the play at that pro level, but does allow for duos to pull off things that are physically impossible for a single player to do. So when the alien Kaiju start emerging from the ocean, we know which two gamers to call. Also, Tekken announced that a character or the main villain from the manga, Bakhi, the grappler, is going to be a DLC character. Doesn't mean anything to me. I don't expect it to mean anything to you guys either. Anyway.

Now, my personal highlights, first of all, there was a guy walking around at the venue and competing with a real live Shiba Inu, just like Joan in his backpack, very well-behaved dog. During the Street Fighter 6 pools, a baby named, or sorry, excuse me, a player named Baby 212 was brought up on stream to play, and it turned out he was aptly named because he was 10 years old, and he softed the fuck out of his opponent. It wasn't even close. If you have kids, get him invested in Street Fighter early to hone their skills, parents. There was also a guy dressed up as Pooh Bear for some reason. Maybe he lost a bat.

I don't know if he was what that was. Naturally, the popcorn baron was there as well, and, all the popcorn baron. All of the marketing for the booth and the programs we got literally just read, if you know, you know. Boy, do I know. There were also a couple of auction tournaments where people bid money to buy the ability to play specific characters in certain games. That goes to charity. That's a great idea.

To bid on those characters is put into the pot of the winners. Oh, that's fine. Tournament. That's cool. I watched somebody pay like $350 to play as Dr. Doom. It was crazy. Oh, yeah. Hold on.

Here we go. Hey, fellas. It's Henry for Minnesota again. Sorry. I don't remember how long. Three minutes, please try to keep a little bit on that. Anyway, to wrap up what I was going to say, the train that I took out of Minnesota for this tournament was, apparently it was the second birthday of that train. It was the second birthday of the Borealis.

Happy birthday, Borealis. That's literally the last thing I was going to say. Anyway, I will try and make sure that next time I call in this. time next month, because Evo is happening, will be under the time limit. Thanks, bye. Thanks. Thanks. That's, so the Chicago to Milwaukee train, is that the nickel plate? So, boy, Alice. No, but wouldn't that have been the nickel plate back in the day? Yes, the nickel plate road, yes. I just remember because I learned about the death car for the first time. Yep. Which is, God damn, is that horrible story? Yep. Look up the nickel plate railroad death car.

and people still fucking use it. So I love to be where people were boiled alive. All right. Well, thank you. Anyway, for that side. Thank you, Henry, for that. We do appreciate your e-game, not e-game, fighting game tournament updates.
