liam yeah that's me liam yeah uh we were on the cut yeah go ahead i said 1-800 liam 1-800 liam i wonder what that would get you. Probably. Some demented sort of sex line set up by one of the fans. I've heard rumors that there's like a manga or something that someone drew that's floating around. That's not true. Don't tell me that's true. I don't know if it's true. I don't want to see it because if I want to see it, I going to to be violently mad against that person where did you see this rumor i uh in a youtube comment for an episode i can't remember okay yeah let's don't do that if yeah that you're actually right so one thing

you're crossing a line to fan fiction is stupid um just write your own original stories unless you take money away from jk rowling oh yeah no that's fine yeah jk rowling fan fiction is completely fine uh the an ending where harry potter doesn't become a cop it would be a good one um no and in fact he dies a horrific death well i i hear i'm gonna steal a joke from red that i saw today it was uh i'll just answer questions so uh oh leo uh you're here on the book cast and we want to know what what uh what house of hogwarts would you be in what's the bad one slytherin okay uh well the answer that the guy on reddit gave was

uh i don't know i'm 25 so oh yeah that's that's more appropriate yeah i you know i will say i i think it's fine basically to be a harry potter adult it's just like yeah it's cringy but like so is liking the magic the gap so it's like you imagine the gathering and i sure do that with no problem so just like the things you like in balance with other things yeah don't you don't need to constantly tell me about yeah and if you are someone who reads a lot of middle eight middle grade because harry potter is not young adult that's middle grade fiction sorry sorry guys um if you read a lot of young adult throw a throw a tolstoy or a or something in there just like like you know you know how like

all right i get it you don't eat salad but eat broccoli once once a week just to eat salad i love a caesar salad i hate salad i love a caesar salad start following a tiktok account that just reviews caesar salads oh yeah no i can't do i can't and the salad for me is a texture thing yeah some fascinating i know i know there's all there's a part of me that wonders if i am just like really like i have adhd there's like a part of me that's super high functioning autistic it does i choose to believe what my mother believes which is that we're all a little autistic it i mean i know enough to know that I'm eliminated really from that, because I don't have any communication issues.

Right. But, you know, I don't know. It's interesting. The brain is weird and interesting, and we love you all, no matter what disorders you may or may not have. We have some disorders. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Welcome to the disorders test. This is psychology talk all right uh jesus yeah just me hanging out with my mom for an hour yeah yeah uh or just the teachers in the break room and i do i do love my mom but yeah It's good to have someone to talk psychology about. Yeah. All right, you want to get into this bitch? Yeah, so announcements. We got a bonus tentatively scheduled. Should I say who it is?

You should say who it is. Give us your money. It's going to be Alice. Aldwa Kelly. Yes, of Well, There's Your Problem and Trust Future Fame. And Kill James Bond. And Kill James Bond. And... It's on too many pods. Of, of, well, there's your problem and trash future fame and kill James Bond and, uh, too many,

too many, too many things. And, um, I don't know what we're going to do. Cause she's not for Philadelphia. Uh, but we're going to do something funny.

Cause she has some ideas. Cause she's very funny. I mean, she's the best. Well, there's your problem would not exist without, without her. No,

she carries us. I really can't emphasize that. Because there are Alice episodes and no disrespect to June. They are all terrible. Yeah, you could take you could like, you know, like you die, you leave me the your spot in the will. And I come over. But if Alice leaves, the podcast isn't going to be any good. There's no point. Why? there's no coming back to that so so we'll see we'll see how that goes i think it'll be fun um but uh i'm not putting the date

out yet but that's that's the june bonus um i'll be fun i'm excited me too all right uh speaking of why don't you leave some voicemails that maybe she can answer uh 267-371-7218 is our voicemail we got a lot today uh patreon.com slash 10 000 losses if you want to listen to that episode bonus or our past bonus episodes and now that it's the summer i'll probably be working on some other things but uh we want to talk about sports i like how you haven't told me the other thing. So I don't even know. Uh, the other things are things that we already talked about. Um, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Don't worry folks. I know what's happening on my own podcast.

No, the Q and a thing or the, I don't know, like a $3 tier or something. Um, I'm thinking of putting up. So like a hundred dollar goal for a three dollar tier i don't know whatever i'll cut this part out we'll we'll meet up and get a beer once once i'm done school then we'll talk about it sounds good all right um so uh this is a sports podcast liam ostensibly ostensibly uh so let's talk a little bit of good news before we get into the horrible just shit bad news segment this um but you know that's what you pay for that's what you come here for really yeah you don't come to a podcast listen to good news no um so oh beautiful excuse me uh so the phillies they're good again yes yeah we should fire

our manager every day so hire fire joe gerardi joe gerardi just exists in a liminal state yeah he possibly reanimated him to destroy him yeah the schrodinger's manager um he's either hired or fired um looking at him determines that. But yeah, the Phils actually have shown some life. Impressively so. Were 4-0 in the Rob Thompson era. He's a baseball lifer, but he does not look like he's having fun.

That's how you know he's good, dude. Girardi just looked like he was not interested. Thompson's interested. He just looks tired. he's good, dude. Girardi just looked like he was not interested. Thompson's interested. He just looks like tired. Miserable, yeah. I think that's just because he's Canadian. So, yeah, that's how it goes. I went to Sunday's game.

I don't know if you noticed my voice is not – Yes, I did notice that. Yeah, it's a little shitty. Sunday's game had a game-tying Bryceper grand slam with two outs and a full count which i i have never been to a game that felt that way before where you felt the hypothesis of sports yeah yeah apotheosis right yeah like it we go. Yeah, it's all right. I'm a descriptor to this, not a prescriptivist. Thank you. And we've – yeah, no, we ascended to the heavens.

Like we were hugging strangers and stuff like that. I went to games in 2007, 2008, 2009 when the feels were good, but it felt like we won the World Series. I think it was like a cleansing. And then Bryson Stott walked off. It was his first ever walk off in the majors. It was his first ever walk off home run. It was a three-run home run. And I saw the ball get hit and then just screaming.

That's awesome, dude. Yeah. And last night, Josh Hader like one of the best closers in baseball if not the best closer uh blew his first save gave up his first runs since july of last year when alec bohm and matt veerling back to back uh well not back to back uh but hit two jacks against him at the top uh top of the ninth inning. Fucking awesome. The last time I saw Matt Veerling was at the Iron Pigs,

and he struck out in a very similar situation in AAA. Things are looking up. Things are working. Yeah, so Phillies are doing well. I went to come crashing back to Earth. Yeah, we'll see how it goes. The Phillies actually have a pretty easy schedule, so we'll see how it goes the phillies actually have a pretty easy schedule so we'll see how they do um so that's your happiness for today now let's get into the sadness and the anger let's get into the sad singer so baseball um you wouldn't know with all

the ass slapping but baseball's kind of homophobic. Yeah, you got a bunch of fucking born-raised fuckboys. Yeah, and we had... So MLB has Pride Night. And one of the reasons it has Pride Night during Pride Month is because of one of the handful... I think he might be one of the two openly gay MLB players, and he's a former guy. His name's Billy Bean. is because of one of the handful, I think he might be one of the two,

openly gay MLB players. And he's a former guy. His name's Billy Bean, not the Moneyball guy. And he's like the inclusion officer for MLB. So he's kind of behind that. But so every team had a sort of pride thing, right? And the Tampa Bay race, which we're on the record of saying, Tampa Bay, well, well, well, well.

The crypto rig strikes again. The crypto rig, that's right. Yeah, I obviously record crypto, which is why this is happening to us. That's how cryptocurrency works it just god damn it you were you're overclocking your your graphics cards so that you can mine more uh nfts getting as wrong as possible on purpose give me all my apes or whatever yeah all the all the all the the slurp juice or whatever that was i don don't know. Slurp juice. Didn't it not? All right, before we get back into the homophobic baseball, it's pretty much conserved that board ape thing was run by neo-Nazis, right?

Yeah. All right, I wasn't insane. I thought that was, yeah. Yeah. All right, so back to baseball. Baseball being homophobic right in my delirium i almost said baseball being gay and i really didn't they know if only man if only yeah i would wish they would be nicer um so tampa bay as we said is not a city doesn't deserve a team

uh sends it back to montreal um they several so so several i'm going to read from it from an article and and we'll just go through it so several tampa bay rays players chose not to wear rainbow color logos during the team's pride night game versus the white socks on saturday according to multiple reports on tuesday rays reliever nick anderson shared his thoughts on why he removed the patch from his jersey sleeve and wore a standard team hat instead of one designed for the occasion uh do you think this is going to be a nice well-reasoned uh no it won't be no it won't be because there's no reason to do this other than you're a fucking bigot

so uh i'm quoting nick anderson when i say differing beliefs i'm talking about the people who believe everyone should wear something and if you't, you should burn and you're a terrible person or whatever name you want to call them. You are a terrible person. Also, you wear a uniform, dude. It's called a uni-form. Uni means one. One form.

Yeah, that's how that works, dude. You got a uniform. Anderson tweeted a screenshot of a written statement. I also was saying that just because you don dude you got a uniform anderson tweeted a screenshot of a written statement i also was saying that just because you don't wear maybe a said patch in quotes doesn't mean you think you're you think those people should burn and they're terrible people okay uh well it does mean that you don't support them you don't and like like let's not get it wrong here like pride night from baseball is a it's like it's it's it's woke woke corporation stuff right yeah it's rainbow capitalism yeah

it's not it's not something it's something co-opted right and they're they're they're just doing representation man um which is good but like it's like those guys those guys those guys should be penalized like not dude like you're being asked to do the bare minimum like what is truly the bare minimum and like you know this like what it says is i like he's he's saying like oh well everyone else is intolerant but me it's like dude if you're so bothered by the existence of other people that you can't even wear a fucking patch on your hat, you should not be in society. Right. And and and you're an asshole.

The root of it is just you're an asshole. Yeah, it's an asshole. And he and he starts digging his hole deeper. He goes, come on, everyone. I never said once I thought gay people weren't born gay or that homophobia was right okay okay you but you don't so you know you're an asshole that makes it worse so you're wearing the hat like do you think the hat makes you gay yeah right like no dude you just put on the hat it's a nice gesture and fans who have been traditionally sidelined by sports come out

and make your team money which pays your fucking salary right yeah these you just want to be a prick dude you want to be a prick and you've never been told no in your life right uh corn fed baseball boy um and so uh yeah he said a bunch of other shit whatever and the the kevin cash is the race manager who said he didn't believe it'll negatively impact the clubhouse like are you fucking kidding me that's your response that's it should that i don't care if it negatively impacts your fucking clubhouse or not dude i give a shit about like what it's gonna say to like a 12 year old kid getting called the f slur every day.

And he just wants to see his favorite team. And you can't even manage fucking that for him. I mean, how long ago was it? Well, Cole Hamels was on the fucking Phillies and he, uh, he,

he did a whole bit of call duty and he alluded to the, to the, uh, F slur. Yeah. And that was like, what? 10,

12 years ago. Like, come on, man. I mean, hell hell cool hamill was still trying to pitch last year so like this isn't we haven't come very far man like you know uh and then so kevin cash says first and foremost i think the organization's done a really good thing that pride nights supporting our gay community to come out and have a nice night at the ballpark impressed our players he said he's impressed our players have have had those conversations we want to support okay sure they choose to wear choose not to wear so how about this how about you get to choose to to fucking wear the goddamn military shit i saw that too yeah exactly yeah exactly how about i choose i don't believe in wars for empire like Yeah. I'm sure the Cuban players,

I mean, a lot of them defected. I'm sure their politics changed, whatever. But I'm sure the American flag looks real good for those guys. You know what I mean? You go up in Cuba, you learn a little bit, you learn a different side of history.

And it's it's just like yeah like how can i opt out of of standing at the the um fucking anthem and and to tackle into that do not take your hat off for god bless america it is not the national anthem it's not the national anthem and if you do you're you're a goober at best you know yeah no fucking idiots anyway uh race pitchers jason i'm gonna name them all so just so you know if you play them will be the show you could sell their cards and get done very good or you could just throw you just put them in as batters. Yeah, just throw a thumping. Yeah. Rays pitchers Jason Adam, Jalen Beeks, Brooks Raley,

Jeffrey Springs, and Ryan Thompson. Man, that sounds like a lot of white guys. Yeah. Were among the players who opted out of having the logo on their uniforms according to the Tampa Bay Times. Adam called his choice a faith-based decision. What does that even fucking mean? Does it say you can't wear a rainbow rainbow is a fucking sign of of god's covenant asshole read your goddamn body none of these people read their body no of course not uh uh and and actually the the pride night had 3,000 more attendants than baseline.

Funny how that works. Yeah. At a stadium that's dog shit, no one wants to play at. The other thing, too, is we're both, you know, cis-head white guys. And, you know, but but we are most most definitely allies. And this shit just fuck. I mean, I can't imagine what this this this shit is like, if you're a gay person, if you're a trans person. Yeah, let us know. Yeah, because we're two straight white guys. We can't speak for you, but we can speak for ourselves. We're pretty pissed off. We imagine you're pretty pissed off. We'd love to hear from you.

We're back again. I fucking hate this, Edcaster. Dude, this is getting ridiculous. So I think we were last talking about if you are an LGBTQ individual, you're not one of Liam and I being two people who consider ourselves allies, but our response is to get mad and want to punch people. We don't have what we were talking about before we started recording, like our existence is not sexualized by people. It's considered the default. And so if you want to leave us a voicemail or a serious DM, and if you've got those experiences, let us know.

There was someone on the tipping pitches Slack slack who said that you know that outside of like they felt like outside of the bubble of lefty sports that they didn't feel welcome right that's not surprising to me yeah and it's and it's sad you know that that's the case because who gives a shit at who fucking cares it's not gonna listen it's not gonna bring back like jobs and shit right you fucking idiots it's it's the economy you morons the capitalist economy not that gay people exist no it's it's it's just it's just so gross is the word i want to use yeah like that like you can't even fucking wear a patch and just shut up about every three hours.

Yeah. And fuck you to the Tampa Bay Rays. I mean, fuck you to them to begin with because they're a farm team. Right. And,

but for letting this happen, no other team let this happen. No, it's a uniform. You don't wear it. You're not playing. You're not playing and I'm fining you $50,000. Yeah.

Because that's how it fucking works. Yeah. Yeah, they go on Fox News and complain how you're not playing and i'm finding you fifty thousand dollars yeah because that's how it fucking works yeah yeah they go go on fox news and complain how you're oppressed by the the woke institution of major league talk get a little fucking cut yeah yeah they fucking assholes uh and and i think i mentioned this there's there's no out active mlb players currently the only two i could find were glenn burke who invented the high five i'm sure he didn't invent the high no he did it's documented him and dusty baker they invented the high five no one no two dudes are slapped hands before idle uh look it up look it up but maybe someone can can yell at us uh i i double checked with like three sources and it looked like they invented the term at least like what we call the modern high five

and then Billy Beane which we mentioned not the money ball guy yeah oh this is what I want to talk about Brooks Rayleigh by the way fucking owns a gun store in Uvalde Texas cool what a what a and and we're not

anti-gun I actually you know i think that the only people who shouldn't have guns are are people like you and i yes cis head white men everyone else should be allowed to be harmed um that like jesus christ man fucking just absolute insanity. And those cops are cowards. Pathetic. And pathetic wimps. With your shoulder on it, you fucking pussies. You got Molon Labbe on the back of your fucking car.

At least act like a Spartan. Exactly. Yeah. Also, a Spartan would have also fucked his buddy for fun, for fun too yeah there's nothing wrong yeah so see we're back and we're back to brag night yeah yeah that's what i love it's like you idolize all these figures and you have no idea about like the the understandings of like queer history or whatever like that behind any of anything you know um i i anyway so uh but we definitely want to hear from you if you've got like some takes on this um and to give you guys a chance to talk about it because it's not just baseball it just happens to be like the one where there's no active out players right but they do love slappy chow on the butt i'll tell you that um

all right so uh mood mood is shitty let's let's talk about something uh basketball maybe you want to talk about the genius of al horford uh yeah apparently he sucks again well yeah game two didn't go so great for us but that's fine yeah so it's all tied up um i hey man we're making it a series you know what i mean sure sure uh and we got farther than you did which is important yeah okay you do you are also a sixer you own a sixer jersey two of them yeah so uh i'm wearing a kemba walker Walker Celtics jersey in case you want to know how well my team's decisions pan out. There's a good song, though, called Kemba Walker. All right.

Dude rules, dude. Yeah. I remember NBA 2K had like one of the in the career mode where you would have to like play horse against Kemba Walker. And then i always made my dude like a five foot ten alan irison type just got smacked out over there's no there's no way like come on dude like can you can you have an alternate right can i can i dominate some sort of champion yeah um so yeah that's basketball. Someone from the Sixers, I think, resigned. The president or something like that.

It's someone in the front office resigned, but we can talk about that another time. I don't think it's too big a deal. Chris Heck. Yeah, Chris Heck. President of Business Operations. Heck and Eppin. You know, I forgot that. that just reminded me of reddit i want to take a quick aside

and tell and and just say something about the guy who was sitting behind me at the angels phillies game who wouldn't shut the fuck up the entire game and he was saying like oh you know otani san is up and uh mike truck like it said mike trout these were all reddit baseball memes he wouldn't show up i was texting you about how annoyed i was you were and just stop don't talk like that in real life don't stop it stop going on real shame you need to feel shame i don't don't say reddit memes in real life and he was talking to his kids but i'll tell you this fucking bryce harper's grand slam shut him the fuck up good

yeah but he was acting like he was like oh we're in enemy territory right now it's like no you're an angels fan no like literally no one's if you live or die right are you a mets fan no are you a braves fan no are you a yankees fan no no one those are the three that anyone gives a shit about. Maybe Nash.

No one really gives shits to Nashville fans because no one cares. Your team's not real. You're the Expos. Fuck. All right. Let's talk football real quick. I think the only big thing in news is Brandon Brooks is retiring. Yeah, that and Deshaun

Watson. Oh, yeah. Yes. You did want to bring that up. thing in news is Brandon Brooks is retiring yeah that and Deshaun Watson oh yeah yes yes you did want to you did want to bring that up yeah so it turns out that the Texans gave Watson NDAs for the therapist to sign he saw way more than he currently claimed that he before claimed uh Uh, uh, it's just a whole bunch of shit. Uh, yeah, Deshaun Watson, uh, basically, uh, he was, was given an NDA sort of template to give to people. Right. Uh, so the Texans knew what he was doing and basically looks the other way or didn't care or why would, uh, huh?

Why would they care? Why would they, why would they care why would they why would they don't get these teams don't give a shit no they don't but uh that's that's bad uh yeah so hopefully he is fired into the sun where he belongs and my son baker mayfield my dui my dui son uh will uh will caught him by DUI said we'll get back to his former glory that DUI was before he was that was when he was in college this is college yeah yeah we change we do

change I'm not I'm not good I'm not defending Baker Maffield driving drunk or anything like that that's Fayetteville Arkansas what else is there to do yeah um there's there's it's a half-formed thought in my head in my mind but uh just because someone's giving you a massage does that give you a right to fucking sexually assault them no uh well i can't believe we have to say that but i think we do

yeah yeah that's good they're doing a job the job is a massage oh i got a massage on vacation and it was lovely yeah i i feel weirded out getting them um uh but i there you go i don't know maybe it's the theory of you feel weird about a lot of stuff though yeah i i don't i don't know it's it's it's's i mean they're nice they feel good but i just feel weird i don't know i don't know i don't know i can't explain it someone who's not your wife is touching your stuff yeah yeah that's probably part of it um oh fuck jesus stanley cup who cares no one cares just like the nba finals no one cares either Oh, fuck. Jesus. Stanley Cup. Who cares?

No one cares. Just like the NBA Finals. No one cares either. Oh, yes, they do. No, no, no. Yes. Bring back the original Cup. It's not the real Stanley Cup.

Well, they had to make a new one, right? There's three of them. Yeah. Union, nothing changed. I don't know how the cups and shields work i will figure it out god damn it sure i that that guy uh the duped up uh listener uh who always very faithful commenter uh he's probably gonna murder us if we don't sorry we don't we don't know i've gotten i got i got a dm from one of our listeners begging me they're like please watch the game tonight it's like it's 10 p.m i t i'm a teacher man oh sorry sorry i can't

watch it it's too fucking late um sorry guys so nothing's changed uh i don't even know how long we've been recording because of this stupid shit uh like maybe like 35 minutes or so 40 yeah it'll be a quick one yeah uh we got we got three voicemails and three dms all right roll them all right so uh hopefully they're in order let's see if they're not that's not our problem. No. It's St. Kessler's problem. This is Charlie from Roxbury. Stuck in traffic at the Union game. Fucking up a goal, up a man. Fucking blitz.

Fucking disappointing. You know, guys are just going to read it off the fucking Google anyway. Corey Burke's trash. You know, you got fucking Miami on Wednesday yay Liam, hey Tom fight for me Cherry White fuck Penn State see you guys later

thank you, I really hope that man has a family yes I hope he wasn't driving himself I'm praying that he's in the passenger seat and his wife is trying to console him and his kids are like well they'll do better next time no i have to call the podcast i listen to right now but we love you charlie for roxbury oh well he's all charlie for roxbury i do like the very good philly accent there like you could you like there's no way you're lying about you're from Roxborough or something like that.

So it, Google said, said Roxbury, but, but it's Roxborough. So did he say Roxbury? You see Roxborough? I have no idea that Roxbury is in Massachusetts.

He sounded like a Philly dude though. That was, that was a Philly accent. Am I, am I right? He's come back from a union game. Shouldn't you know guy ostensibly from Philly, even though you grew up in Bucks County? I just wanted to piss you off.

Yeah. Short circuit in your brain. I'm going to dox myself in order to prove a point that was made in jest. War Thunder shit, yes. Yeah. I took the bus down the north catholic every day um all right uh so uh cool charlie keep it up charlie might be the duped up guy i'm talking about uh because that stands to reason it looks like he's got dupe everywhere and uh charlie if i do make it to a union game i will i will let

you know uh we probably should make it i should probably do that um all right all right see what the next one's from uh one of them is from someone who never left a name okay so we'll see Okay, that one's not working No forwards in the punch Can't score any goals on to this is also Charlie but at least yep you know

In the Europa League final. I can hear him swaggering. Yeah. Fuck the legs. Fuck the old Birmingham. Yep, that's right. Glory to

this, you know, good to see the Europa League trophy going to the lower northeast. It's gonna be great. Glory to, I don't know. Yeah, fuck that state. Nice. Thank you. Thank you. I hope you're doing alright Charlie

I think that was Charlie again I hope you're doing well yeah Charlie we love you probably cut it back a little bit all the drinking though yeah man you don't want to like hit your head or something man dude get your liver enzymes check man just just all right uh let's see if this is the right one it

should be jay from portland so let's see hey radio tkl this is jay from portland calling in uh we had a bit of a match-up in soccer weekend, MLS. There's a team in Philadelphia. They're called the Union. I'm not sure if you've heard of them. They're a Chester motherfucker. Chester. We played in part of the game. Portland got, it was bad.

But TAR, video assistant referee, is a big thing in MLS. And the standard of it is a clear and obvious error. And while I think there's a lot of value in review, I think that if something is to be defined as clear and obvious, it shouldn't take a five minute review. So I think my question is, what are your opinions on an external video assistant review situation? And thoughts on should they add just like a time requirement of how long it takes uh totally not salty totally not pissed off about the rest uh this is just a you know nice relaxed question uh love the pod love the insights on uh philly sports and the the trials and tribulations it's nice to not be the only one

in town with a real anger about sports that you have too much power in um yeah so have a good one bye all right uh can i go first because i actually do have opinions on this yeah no there should absolutely like my i have said this for years. Absolutely. Believe that they're like, if you can't make a determination within about, uh, without a minute, it's over. Like that should be it. Like clear,

clear and decide, like, I think the standard sort of universally is clear and indisputable video evidence. Right. Like, and I, I actually am to the point where I think they should only be allowed to

use instant replay under some very specific circumstances. I get that like, for soccer, and for hockey, it might be different because they're low scoring games. Right? But for something like basketball or football, like now, like you get to use it once a game, if you're the ref. And if you use it more than once a game, the the team that suffers because of your uh incompetence uh gets to beat you uh unconscious after the game so if you want to suffer those consequences or or you you know the referee doesn't referee your games for the rest of this or something like that like i think like i know that they have to be impartial i know that refereeing is not an easy job i'm sure i would suck at it but i'm a sports fan so i don't have to be logical um so i think yeah you get a minute

and if they can't determine it then the call stands and that's it right and maybe and like i said maybe they can do it once a half for video review so you better make it worthwhile yeah i i i generally i say what i agree with that i think that there's you know um it should be limited to certain circumstances and you only have so many challenges and um i think baseball's actually doing a pretty good job with it this year um where you have one challenge unless it's like a scoring play in late innings right and then that's automatic and they don't take more than like a minute minute and a half you know it's like it's like a call like safe on first base or safe at home like that kind of stuff and i think that's fine or like if it was a home run or not um i that's fine but

there's so many things that are like you know really quick judgment calls that you just bog the game down and you have to just be like you know there's an element of human error and it's just that's part of the game as well um i do like though the idea of the standard of a clear and obvious error like like there's only so much like ambiguity can remove and my brain just went to the idea of like in special education like the idea of meaningful progress which is what does that even mean right you know um there's just always going to be a term it's like like nfl he made a football move what the fuck does that mean it doesn't mean anything doesn't mean anything that's the whole point and and there has to be at least a little

bit of vagary and the idea that if the evidence isn't inconclusive that the call on the field stands you know if there's not an angle that shows anything different you know or you can't really tell you got fucking right i i i think that you know you don't want to bog a game down with just too much shit so you get a challenge or two a game and then you're done um yep i'll buy that yeah so i think we we're pretty close on that. So we got a few DMs. One is from August. This is genuine question. What's your unadulterated opinion on Australian rules football? As far as I know, I like it.

Although I haven't watched it in many years. Yeah, it looks cool. I mean, I don't have anything against it. It's just, it's cool. I guess being able to kick is pretty sweet. Yeah. I, I like,

I've also liked that. There's like, they allow physical contact, but not like shoving your opponent in the back. Like I I've wondered if the NFL and I, and I, and I want to be clear that I don't know all that much about Aussie football, but I think that the NFL could learn a lot.

From like stuff like rugby and like Gaelic football too. Like, like how to have contact without being armored to the teeth. And yeah, I. Oh, Gaelic football rules. Yeah. No, it's all, it's all, it's interesting. I've seen a few games like when I was younger. I haven't seen one seen any in a long time.

But no, cool. I don't know if you have anything more on that. Like we'd have to watch a game and really we could join the Philly Gaelic football team. Oh, we could do that. We could do that. I mean, those guys are probably athletes, but. Yeah, well, we're big. So, yeah, we're big so yeah we're

big um i mean i i um i i haven't like publicly announced this uh but i am going to become a himbo this summer so uh you do that yeah i'm gonna hit myself on the head with the barbell while i'm lifting your wife is gonna love you yeah well i mean she has she has requested that the muscles come back so uh i don't think she wants the brain to come away go away yeah sure fair enough all right um also from august um so i think he i think we have a charlie situation here i tried listening to your podcast while extremely stoned and realized unless i one watch american sports two and for philly your show probably wasn't best first entered while vibing good show don't though don't give up fams thank you i think

i think this was someone who who heard about me from well there's a problem and decided to listen uh cool thanks uh thank you uh just just don't be inebriated and drive but uh you you smoke that loud whenever you want as long as you're not at work or whatever we're gonna do it at work i don't give a shit as long as you're not like a forklift driver we don't care yeah we're a teacher uh all right last dm from metric mike that's not his name that's what i'm calling him uh it said mike and then he's like about the america going metric which uh i'm in support of so this is mike towards a metric america on uh okay i like that guy a lot yeah uh you're you're not anti-metric out of like uh no you're a francophile so yeah i'm

if we could do it i would love to do it yeah i agree um so hello tom and yay liam i i guess hello tom is the thing because i've heard yay tom yay liam and hello tom hello tom so it's a hello tom hello tom uh so as i watch playoff hockey i've been forced to look at the goddamn sap logo on the board circle that stupid blue trapezoid thing they make software for my job and it sucks is there a company name logo that you hate seeing on signs walls boards etc during sporting events you're watching yes god yes all right let me start that's i've got some grievances the welcome to comcast country thing in the wells fargo center scares the shit out of me uh let's see i hate i i i have said this and it's sort of one of my more puritanical views um but i don't really think alcohol

companies should be allowed to advertise or gambling companies i gambling definitely should be that's my my pep yeah uh but i don't know that you should be allowed to advertise out if you want it you'll you know where to find it like it doesn't you know yeah why are we advertising this although i actually basically i think my beef is more than i believe all advertising should just be banned wholesale uh there you go i but like i really hate seeing the draft kings i've i think we've talked about this on the podcast seeing the gambling ads 200 times a day when i'm trying to just watch baseball or something drives me drives me fucking bonkers there is something engineered about the draft kings um ad ads like the commercials that specifically must be designed to catch attention because i fucking hate them and the woman who's on them i'm sure she's probably a

nice person right right there's something about how they have like the lines they have her read and how they have her act and like the raspidness of her voice that makes me go oh i can't stand this and i think that's on purpose i think it's meant to make you complain about it because it because there's yeah it's like negative publicity that is a thing like like like Like fucking there's a dipshit jeweler in Philly. I'm not going to say his name because I'm not going to advertise. I won't say his name either, but that dude does have some hilarious radio ads. He's

like, you can't go into Zales or K Jewelers because those guys are both dead, but you can come and see me. I'm alive. Yeah, he used to. I mean, he's he's done live radio i mean he's paid to be like a guest on like precedent steve shit like that and it's been funny so like whatever dude but like like negative like if hey if this if you're listening to this you know exactly who you

are uh sure we'll read your ads uh but we know how much the markup on diamonds is so you know ten dollars per download i think, is a reasonable starting point. Give us your money. By the way, if you're, like I said, your local brewery or beer company wants to pay us, feel free. As long as you're not one of the most. As long as you're not Evil Genius. Yeah, or Tired Hands. Suck my dick, Gene.

Yeah. Hey, I saw you at War of the Words like eight years ago, and you were an asshole, just so you know that. I'm sure you knew you were an asshole, too, because that's part of your act. I'm sure you were pleased with yourself for doing it. Yeah. Look at these hundred plebs, a fucking fake French piece of shit. So, I can't stand – all right. Let me expand on this. There's some ads I can't stand alright let me like expand on this

um there's some ads I can tolerate there's some I can't um I fucking hate anything with Yangling and I hate the Yangling ad reads they do on Philly's broadcasts oh they're brutal

where they just throw them in there and like I fucking hate the yangling family i will not buy their beer they fucking suck they actively work against unions in pennsylvania and they didn't do this long before the trump thing came out when i heard the trump thing i was like what who else would he fucking be for supporting I've known his politics. They're not good. They're not good. And if you're a Pennsylvanian, do not buy his beer.

So fuck him. Roz. Well, not fuck Roz, but Roz, stop buying his beer. I hate that. Roz does eat his own poops, though. Well, I mean, so does my dog. Yeah, well, your dog is... I like your dog.

Yeah, she's tiny and is going senile. Yeah, I hate the sports betting things more than anything. I hate that every stadium has to be named after a bank or... Crypto. Yeah. And I got to tell you this that my number one now my number one pet peeve this is kind of related to the yangling thing is when your jingle is incorporated into something that's part of the stadium the yankees have uh some

companies at like like little jingle whistle play every time there's a strikeout which is bullshit i went to the iron pigs game every time there was a strikeout there was uh the the red robin song which i'm not gonna do fucking out of here and it's just you get kids saying it like i hate that like like i would rather it just be you have a billboard at the stadium i'm fine with that whatever i don't like it but whatever i'll take that over you incorporating some sort of psychological conditioning into um into the people who are watching your game that shit i fucking hate it's devious it's devious and that's and that goes in with the ink now this in-game betting shit um the ads the apple uh mlb friday night games have like these weird ads go listen to what this

podcast called effectively wild they did an interview with the company who's been doing these like odds on screen betting odds um and and they kind of i mean i was i was quite surprised with how my these mild-mannered hosts uh actually grilled the company's rep over their methodology, which I thought was nice. Good. Yeah. And they talked about that on Timmy Pitches too, if you also listen to that podcast, which I know there is at least one Timmy Pitches listener

who's a Tank Hale listener, because I did get a special message from the Mets fan, Bobby Wagner. So not everyone else got called brother when they got invited to their sleigh oh oh is that nice uh all right all right this this one's 30 minutes so I think we're at about an hour uh do you have anything else to add on that um or kick Deshaun Watson out of the fucking league uh yeah kick him off the planet yeah him and every other fucking rapist people who abuse kick the entire Tampa Bay team into the sun yeah

except for the ones who wore the hat I guess yeah yeah you you get to live a little while longer because I mean Bryce Harper knows that he's a brand because if he had an option like to take it off and like he was he was no name guy yeah but Bryce Harper knows he's

making 300 million and he's gonna do when they say jump bryce says how high right and he because he knows how his bread is buttered and uh jt will make i said we are a pro labor pro uh podcast but this is about basic fucking decency don't give us that shit yeah there's there is no excuse to be a bigot there's no excuse other than it is not a what happened to civility conversation it's a get on board the fucking train conversation if you don't know if you don't know just listen to someone else's perspective just listen to them listen to what they have to say and if you find

that unreasonable you're an asshole if you find the idea that you talk to someone who's lgbtq whatever and they say hey listen look man it's like it's it's about representation you know whatever historical things and you wearing that hat you know might not do much but a kid might see that say hey at least my favorite ball player you know i don't think my favorite ball player would think less of me or something like that and if that is too much for you you are an asshole you're a bad person yeah exactly you might not be a mean person to other people you might tip well but you're an asshole you're an asshole because because it's someone else's existence is bad person yeah exactly you might not be a mean person to other people you might tip well and all that but you're an asshole you're an asshole because because it's someone else's existence

is not your politics exactly that's the damn truth yeah um so i think that's a good a good uh place to start the outro uh so sometimes we have a joke on this podcast um oh fuck where'd it uh we'll give you a chance to pull up the notes which we revealed which thanks corinne for revealing that you didn't have the notes up while you're recording i know i i have the notes i don't know what you're talking about oh look here oh i see the icon showed up i see it hi father judge grad walks into a bar. Yeah, so he walks into the bar and he says, ouch. A blind man walks into a bra. A rabbit,

a priest, and a minister walk into a bar and the bartender says, I think there's been some sort of typo here. Jesus Christ. There used to be a podcast way back in the early podcast days called Old Jews Telling Jokes. I like that.

And the one was about a guy who just got married to a woman named Virginia, and they're taking the train down on their honeymoon, and they get to Norfolk, and the guy's like, no, fuck Virginia. And he's like, hey, where did you know? We just got married. There's more to the joke.
