Starting point is 00:00:00 He is actually going to eject a fan. Because bad things happen in Philadelphia, bad things. The fan jumped into the penalty box area. Joy it is to come to Philadelphia and stand here and dodge an ice ball. We, the Dallas Cowboys, had a sense of the time. And happy New Year. Here's to another mediocre year, baby. Oh, this year has been great, hasn't it?
Starting point is 00:00:44 So far. Fuck it. Well, L.A. is just burnt to the ground. year, baby. Oh, this year has been great, hasn't it, so far? Fucking, well, LA's just burnt to the ground. Yeah, LA. I love that the LA budget is literally the drill tweet. Like, I'm dying. My family's dying. Spend less on cops. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:59 And then they just, like, defund. Yeah, well, you said defund the police, but we defunded the fire department. Good job. And they just like defund. Yeah. Well, you said defund the police, but we defund the fire department. I have seen apparently that tweet is not entirely accurate, but I don't know enough to push back on it. So it's going as gospel here. Yeah. You want someone else to fucking find someone else? We are not fact checkers. We just hate the flyers.
Starting point is 00:01:20 Yeah. Yeah. Well, and we just got fired by meta because we were actually oh did we some of their fat yeah we were their fact check oh yeah well i forgot that we had that gig going and now we don't um yeah i don't i don't wish it's the one thing i think ai might be good at is having to like instead of human beings having to watch a bunch of uh grotesque gore and just all that shit yeah let ai do it like that's that's the one use of ai i can foresee as a good thing there's a there's a couple things i could see it's it's so easy to spot i
Starting point is 00:01:54 just i also feel bad for the person who has to like train the models on that oh well that's i'm sure there's plenty of 4chan guy types that have already trained their own models on that. So yeah, that's, that's how I feel about not a, not a shock internet guy. I'm,
Starting point is 00:02:13 I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm a queasy boy as we all know. No, like it's shock internet for me is reading, is reading like nutty putty cave or what? Looking at pictures of people doing free solo
Starting point is 00:02:25 climbing that's enough for me i don't need i don't need free so i don't fuck with free solo climbing god bless you if you want to but that is not that is not for liam yeah i i feed fate stay firmly planted on the ground i do not fuck with heights um i'm not afraid of heights i respect them terrified of heights but there's that one picture of the guy and he's like i mean there's nothing underneath him and he's hanging from like a like a 45 degree angle at yosemite yeah i've seen that picture that one gives me the heebie-jeebies yeah i get i get like no you're not supposed to do that just get the creeps basically yeah it's it's um i got a little tingle down your spine or whatever you want to call it. It's ASMR, but for fear.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Speaking of ASMR, so we were out. I don't know if this is like a generational thing or just this particular person. We were out having dinner. Okay. And there was a group next to us. And they were like college age girls. And all of them talked in like asmr voice and it was really bothering me what yeah i don't know why like
Starting point is 00:03:31 like hushed like this they're like hushed and like like a very a very i mean i don't know i don't know if that's like a new thing i have i've heard the way zoomers talk and it does make me want to do crime i like the youngest person i regularly interact with is 21 uh she's a family friend of corinne's yeah and like i obviously i interact with like a limited amount of children right which like i don't give a shit about someone i'm friends with on steam is playing the sims 4 that's oh great yeah i let me close my steam notifications hang on one second gotta do this live on air baby yeah you can see tom's yolk getting yoked in the background yeah i have to lube my yolk i have to put like grease on a little stuck. I was using it too much. There we go.
Starting point is 00:04:25 There we go. It's in frame now. I do like the webcam era. I think the webcam era is a good one. Yeah. I'm thinking of gags. I mean, it would require a balaclava for me. Well, you could too if you wanted to.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Not for the whole episode, but just for a second. I don't know. Funny. You always should do. I don't know. Funny. You know what we should do? Coming up on it. I will say for March or whatever, when we get bored, we're going to live stream a horrible college basketball game on ESPN+. Yes. Yeah, probably conference tourney season.
Starting point is 00:05:01 You know, when you start getting the real dipshits, just a bunch of white boys backrooming a bunch of 20-foot jumpers yeah yeah pass with one hand only they only know how the right hand real strong though real real direct passing yeah yeah no crossovers no those white boys are not that coordinated yeah you guys want to see a holy cross take on uh bucknell you're in luck well we got hey holy family we got to throw those guys in that patriot patriot league basketball man that's really yeah fucking horrible sports dude i i love that like i was just reading that the raiders fired their gm like a year like a not a year a week after firing their head coach was like why do you
Starting point is 00:05:42 why do you even bother fielding a team like right you guys have been through what i think i read it was like six head coaches in 12 years or something but i thought moving to vegas would solve their problems well that's what i thought too obviously going to the rebuilt sodom and gomorrah in the desert um is is is i just i i don't like like the Raiders should be punished. We've said this institutional malfeasance. Yeah. Like you should be punished for like constantly putting a shitty product out on the field. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:15 There should be like a minimum level of competitiveness. Right. You go and like there could be exemptions for like, oh, we had like this amount of percentage of players on ir uh but if you do it too many times it's like okay well now we're going to evaluate your team docs yeah you know i i just i don't i just like yeah competitive balance like you guys these these fucking people are just like oh like like i think about like the athletics owner who just like what a fucking prick. This dude forced him to sell the team.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Yeah. I don't know if NCAA still has it, but you had to have so many tickets sold or some metric of your team. Over a four-year rolling average, you need to have at least i don't know x amount of wins you have to like hit like 400 at least or something right bar 500 averaged out over five years like or else you start taking like penalties yeah and like i i think the only sport where i'm kind of skeptical about sports, plural, is probably hockey and baseball, just because the talent takes longer to develop. Sure, but there's teams, baseball, we've talked about that a million times. It was like the White Sox who were just like... Or the A's, deliberately destroying the team, selling it for parts.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Right, or what was it, the Rays did that in the 90s? They won a World Series and immediately sold the team, basically. That's the Rays' MO. I mean, the Rays are like they can be – they will fuel competitive teams and then that's – Immediately strip them for parts, right. Strip them for – yeah. They're like the MLB farm team for the other teams.
Starting point is 00:07:59 Right. Some good right-handed pitching there and not much else. So, yeah, 2025 would be the year of of vengeance against teams not even trying yeah yeah i i buy that i i think a lot of it right is just like watching someone like and we'll get into the eagles but watching someone like saquon be like i didn't know you guys got like hats for winning the division because they just didn't win it with him oh poor guy yeah and like dude i i i just like the like the job like and i don't get unmeaningfully give a shit if the giants suck right but like right you guys are putting trash out there every year and it's fucking annoying like it's good for us as like eagles fans but it's bad what do you do i feel like am i on a
Starting point is 00:08:46 roller coaster what's happening oh sorry i was moving viewers you can't see this but he won't stop moving his his webcam because it was annoying me that i was my face was being blocked put it down your pants tom um pay for that yeah that's a new patreon tier Oh, God. Only 10k. I just, I really fucking hate that. Like, the one thing I was reading, and I know it was bullshit, but it was like, there was a story, story, air quotes, that came out that like, players want to come to DC and play for the commanders, which like, obviously the commanders planted themselves. Like, that's not real. That's not real that's not real but i was like just dan snyder selling the team making whatever 4.5 billion putting in the hands of josh harris and immediately fielding a competitive product on the field yeah like dude it's not you can do it and like the raiders firing their gm firing their
Starting point is 00:09:43 head coach just like you're never going to be competitive. Like that sort of like I read a stat that the the Arizona Cardinals and this is insane. The Arizona Cardinals are the oldest franchise in the NFL. OK, yeah, yeah, because they were St. Louis before they were St. Louis. They were Chicago before Chicago before that. Yeah, yeah. So they were founded and I think like the 19 teens. Would you like to know how long the longest head coach has ever lasted there?
Starting point is 00:10:07 I'd love to. Six years. Wow. Wow. Yeah. That's pretty mediocre. Pretty mediocre, yeah. And like I'm sympathetic to some – I'm not sympathetic, but like I get some managerial excuses which are like hey we don't
Starting point is 00:10:26 think this coach is going to be very good in a rebuild see ya but then you get the shit with like the way the patriots just did gerard mayo super dirty and we're like i feel for the guy because he just wasn't ready and it was like the team was shit under belichick and shit under this guy what's his fucking cares it's it's it it sucks it's what it sucks for yeah people who like care and like it's not like like the raiders have like one of the most like devoted like fan bases and stuff like that yeah they do and they have like 107 million in caps but not that we give a shit about cap space because we don't know how to do math um and if it were us we'd just be handing out gazillion dollardollar contracts.
Starting point is 00:11:08 This O-Line is paid three times as much as anyone else. Yeah, we have the first billion-dollar O-Line. Yeah, oh, you've heard of the million-dollar outfield. Now get ready to go into some real, real bad debt. We owe $14,000 to some guys who wouldn't want to owe $0.14. No. I just like, this is going to be kind of an airing of grievances episode, I think, in a lot of ways. Is that really any different from any other? We are usually airing some grievances. You want to get into it? You want to do the intro?

Starting point is 00:22:12 So Howard Eskin, shithead extraordinaire. If you know Philly sports, you listen to WIP, you listen to this podcast before, you know we talk about, we've talked about him before. We talked about how he got banned from Citizens Bank Park for kissing an Aramark employee without permission. How he said some dumb shit before. How Charlie Emanuel wanted to fight him.
Starting point is 00:22:36 You don't fucking know either. Yeah. Yeah. He wants to be a kingmaker. Yeah. Yeah. And if you listen to early episodes, we talk about, I always said, oh, he's a kingmaker. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, if you listen to early episodes, like we talk about, like, I always said, like, oh, he's a gadfly. Like, that's his persona.
Starting point is 00:22:51 It seems like, no, he really does. Like, it's not an act. It really is how he is. So he departed WIP. He had another he had an argument, apparently, with with one of the employees of the Odyssey, which is a parent company of WIP. Yeah. And after – They're a digital media company that won't stop fucking emailing me.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Oh, boy. They – well, they want to buy everything. They got in a fight at Chickies and Peets, which is like so on track. They were doing a remote broadcast. So he like grabbed this woman in an altercation. Can't do that. No.
Starting point is 00:23:35 And if this is like the final show, this dude is 73. Right. How long has this been going on? I mean, yeah, what don't we know because it's obvious i think that like it's it's obvious that like this dude has been doing this sort this brand of thing for a long time yeah yeah and there's a lot of shitheads who fucking love them for being like kind of being like the troll Like a dirtbag basically
Starting point is 00:24:06 Not anti-PC guy Just a fucking shithead And Yeah he's done He's not working for WIP anymore Nope fuck him He's banned from Citizens Bank Park He's banned from the Sixers
Starting point is 00:24:24 The Sixers banned him too I don't think he's's banned from Citizens Bank Park. He's banned from the Sixers. The Sixers banned him, too. I don't think he's not banned from the Link, though, is he? No, he's not. Won't put their money where their mouth is? Yeah. Well done, boys. Yeah, because he was not allowed on the sideline.
Starting point is 00:24:40 Okay, but like... Okay. Yeah, okay. Yeah. Fuck this guy and, yeah uh just fuck him i i don't know what else to say other than the dude's a scumbag has been a scumbag for years we've known this yeah yeah he he's um i i think i tweeted like drop him off in the thunder yeah just just just gulag this motherfucker already yep yeah and um he definitely shares a balding pattern with me he's got he's got the three-way comb over going on yeah yeah yeah he's he sure is trying to hold on to that hair yeah uh yeah fuck this guy and and you know i gotta say you know his son spagas asking the son the son the son of the father should not be meeting the son
Starting point is 00:25:25 but his too bad his son is the general manager or whatever of wip and did not fire his dad he's such a fucking dweeb dude yeah he's a fucking dweeb every once in a while he'll still post something i agree with him like and it's like that you know
Starting point is 00:25:41 uh you know was it shocking fucking asshole says something nice whatever it's like that you know uh you know was it shocking fucking asshole says something nice whatever it is right um that that uh onion thing oh heartbreaking the worst person you know uh accidentally makes a good point or something yeah yeah once in a while make a good point i i'm i don't know man i'm i'm like i'm so tired of the Philly. Maybe it's because I've been more clued in. I used to follow WIP all the time when I was a kid. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:12 And I liked it. I always thought Heskin was annoying. But paying more attention to it now, like for the last couple of years, I'm so sick of the fucking the wip shit i'm really yeah i mean i i don't really pay it any like so i don't know where you get your sports news from mine is uh a combination of defector espn and uh and the athletic um but i basically don't I don't listen to sports opinion often because uh because I like I'm not exactly I know more than you I don't I don't more than you like I can do this all fucking day if we're talking about like football like I'm specifically talking about football right yeah
Starting point is 00:26:59 yeah yeah the sport that WIP cares about the most I fucking know more than you. I know the game better. I know the history better. I know ball. My opinions are weird. Bobby Orr was better than Wayne Gretzky. I know. You said that one before. Dude, I... The most fucked up thing is I firmly
Starting point is 00:27:19 believe that at this point. I talked myself into believing Bobby Orr is better than Gretzky. Ugh. I don't really have stake in this i'm sure why not that's the official line of the podcast accept it uh yeah so good riddance to that motherfucker yeah um i guess we should we should talk a little bit about bucket sports shit. We're recording this on the 9th. Notre Dame is playing Penn State tonight. Go Irish.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Yeah, go Irish. I deleted it. Very good. Yeah. I've said this before philly catholic school boy i'm gonna i'm gonna root for them especially fuck that state so um yeah i don't want i i was talking to corinne yesterday we were uh picking up a tv from her parents uh and she i was like i got we got cut off by a person with god we trust Pennsylvania plate. And they had a Penn State sticker on their fucking car.
Starting point is 00:28:29 And I was like, oh, Penn State. That makes sense. She goes, why do you think everybody who went there is a child blesser? And I go, they are like they are. I don't know. Like we were talking about this a few a few months ago. I think like when I either right before I went to Penn State or right after I went to Penn State. And I like I can't turn my hatred of that school off.
Starting point is 00:28:48 I was like, I'm not. And I think part of it, right, is that Prince like, oh, like I like her, like two of like that family friend that I was talking about. Yeah, they're three sisters and a brother and three of the four went to Penn State. And a person I used to be really close with went to Penn State. And you went to Penn State right until the shit hit the fan. And my dad's from Boston, Massachusetts. My mom is from South Jersey.
Starting point is 00:29:16 So I didn't have any Penn State loyalty. No one in my family went to Penn State. So I just adopted hating them. I went to Temple where I was just like yeah fuck penn state like yeah we we are the redheaded stepchild state related universe and nobody wanted fuck penn state and right as i was starting to get into like collegiate sports is when um fuck me uh the joe paternal ship broke yeah like, oh, okay. Super duper fuck that school.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Yeah. Obviously, Notre Dame has its own issues. I don't need to be lectured by someone about Thomas fucking Aquinas while he's telling me why he's not paying me. But I just imagine they have lectures on Thomas and then scholastic theology. Of course they fucking do. Just right under touchdown Jesus. Yeah. So I
Starting point is 00:30:09 don't hate Penn State to school. I don't. And I actually had a reasonable discussion with somebody in real life that was like, you know, no one at the school now has anything to do with like. Doesn't matter. And I was like, no, you're right. And I don't hate the players. I don't hate James Franklin
Starting point is 00:30:25 hey hey I know people who went to school with him he's a he's a Bucks County guy right yeah he also covered up uh numerous sexual assaults at Vanderbilt oh great didn't know that yep I have to fuck him I was gonna say he had a nice hoagie mouth but yeah fuck him um god damn it uh I was I was giving Penn State a little bit. A little bit. No, he was informed of sexual assaults by his players while serving as coach of Vanderbilt. Allegedly saw the video and told them to leave that off your phone. And did not report it.
Starting point is 00:30:59 How is this guy not fucking in jail for aiding and abetting? That's fucked up yep yeah uh again the second shout out of the day to friend of the show match plicky chuck plick i don't buddy i don't know how to say it i'm sorry uh his dude i i saw him in his we're just gonna go on forever so him and his wife a few a few weeks ago i was like how do you pronounce your last name and and his wife was like this like like broke it down like sing-song style in a way that was like very funny to me and i'm just like i'm still like no fucking idea dude i can't do last names uh roz is supposed to be like rochniak oh roz yeah you were saying yeah oh shit yeah yeah yeah um you're on air bud well it's not live
Starting point is 00:31:50 oh fuck Penn State dude yeah fuck like like like like if Ohio State plays Penn State like I fucking hate Ohio State I fucking hate Ohio State I am waiting for the all big 10 Natty yeah like that's what that's what we're going to get.
Starting point is 00:32:07 Like we are like I firmly believe we are going to get Ohio State, Penn State, Natty. That is I feel like that's what I feel like. I feel like that's what's going to happen. Like, yeah, I fucking fuck Ohio State. I yeah, I just. Like I like it very good. I'm I, I'm truly rooting for fucking, I am, I am like outwardly, like my team that I'm pulling for is Texas. Uh, welcome. Uh, because I, I, I like Texas and more importantly, my wife likes Texas and, uh, she got her best friend, uh, uh, who I'm not going to dox on there, to also like Texas.
Starting point is 00:32:48 And so we're all going to watch the Texas game tomorrow. And I think they're going to be plowed under by Ohio State. I don't think they're getting that defense. If Arizona State made it that close. I will say this, though. And that the ASU Texas game was genuinely probably one of the best football games I've ever seen. It was really fun to watch. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:16 It was really good. I have no stake in those teams. No. I know one guy who went to Arizona State and I don't like him. And and yeah, that's that's not enough for the threshold of hatred that we have. Yeah. And maybe. And when the Texas kicker missed the field goal, I was like, holy shit, he missed.
Starting point is 00:33:38 My wife's like, what is this? What teams are these? I'm like, Texas, Arizona State. She's like, why do you care? I was like, because it's a good game. It's a really good game. I once said to my wife, I was like, we were watching some fucking hideously unwatchable college game. And she goes, oh, who's playing?
Starting point is 00:33:55 Like, genuinely interested. And I go, I'm not going to tell you the record, because if I do, you'll make me turn it off. Who was it? Oh, dude. It was like, I think it was think it was like oh my god it may have been like yukon mizzou uh football not basketball that old rivalry yeah yeah it was it was i think it was basketball i don't think it was football uh now that i now that i'm thinking uh and it was not yukon because yukon is almost always like a watchable team. And like, even if they weren't like my dad went to UConn, like I care about that. But it was we're talking like something bad, like Patriot League basketball.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Like, yeah, Bucknell Holy Cross, which I'm going to force our viewers to watch. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Every single listener is actually going to be like, like black bagged and subjected to two hours of holy cross fuck now yep yeah with like a vr headset you will learn to love these white boys who cannot shoot jumpers yeah yeah you'll be like like that they advertise like it's like you're sitting courtside oh yeah i've seen that um okay um yeah we got notre dame i got te tomorrow, even though Ohio State is going to, like I said, plow them under.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Yeah, I guess I'm rooting for Texas in that situation. Ranking the teams, it would be Notre Dame, Texas, Penn State, Ohio State that I would like to see. Hang on, I just sent the Eagles injury report. Oh, no. Jalen Hurts, full participation. Oh, I like that. Yeah. So I accidentally left my phone downstairs,
Starting point is 00:35:29 and I'm not bothering to go get it. So I have to look at this on my Apple Watch. Oh, nice. Yeah, so I'm squinting real good. Eagles injury. Yeah, I have. Oh, here we go i have it uh aj brown was limited participation for knee and rest feel it hurts oh limited participation concussion left thing is that today it is today yeah
Starting point is 00:35:55 yeah what what what kind of fucking concussion was this was this because we were talking about this before we started recording like is this them playing like we don't want to fucking do damage to our i think this is basically i think this is this is we're gonna treat our franchise qb with kid gloves yeah i mean i i think it it's you know he got broke a finger too uh yeah just give give him time to to take the wear off oh no i'm looking at the thursday's injury report that they just tweeted six minutes ago yeah here you go i have it oh do you jalen hurts full participation yep nicobe dean dal scattered right stuff byron young yeah yeah it looks like uh aj brown and tre Trevor Keegan did not participate. A.J. Brown is apparently going to go for Sunday, though.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Yeah. Expected to play Sunday as of three hours ago. Oh, yeah. Well, hopefully it doesn't. Well, it looks like it's a slash rest. Yeah. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:37:01 So 230 receiving yards for Devante Smith. That would be that would love that. I absolutely love that. Did you ever see that stat line of Randy Moss's where he goes – it's like three catches, 161 yards, three touchdowns. Did you ever see that stat line? That shit was – yeah. Yeah, that sort of – I want to see that game.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Yeah. And people are – because people ask me. They know at work that I'm the sports guy. Right. And some of them try to get, like, betting. And I'm like, if you want looking for odds, don't bet based on what I think. And they're like – I'm not set even.
Starting point is 00:37:41 They have the Eagles up by – you know, only up by five of the Packers. I was like, okay. I don the Eagles only up by five of the Packers. Okay. I don't know. I don't care. We've played them before. We beat them pretty resoundedly. Somewhat sloppy game.
Starting point is 00:37:56 That was four months ago. Yeah. I think we're good. I think we're good. My genuine prediction is Eagles lose the NFC Championship to the Lions. Barely. Kim, is that a better fate than losing in the Super Bowl? Yeah. Less disappointment?
Starting point is 00:38:19 Yeah. Why not? Why not? Or this is the year that Saquon goes for 240. We win a ring and Patrick Mahomes has to shoot himself out of a cannon into the sun. I like how you
Starting point is 00:38:35 changed where you were going there. I did. I did. Dies of shame. Yes. He's winking right now, folks this is a not a visual podcast um no i'm looking at the playoff picture now um they don't have like a nice bracket oh here's the bracket have it because i want to see um oh it's a? No, it's not a fucking video. Uh, we got, let's see. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:06 We get the winner. I believe of, well, no, the, the lions get the lowest remaining seed and then it's done from there. Yeah. I would, I, ideally I would like us to play the, like the bucks. Yeah. I think we beat the bucks. I think we beat the bucks.
Starting point is 00:39:24 I think we beat the Rams. I think beat the bucks i think we beat the rams i think we actually beat the vikings oh yeah but like i would be i'd be worried about the commanders genuinely because like yeah hungry dog hungry dogs and then the chiefs are gonna eat whoever they play which i assume all right i'm how about how abouts? I would love Ravens. I would like the all bird bowl. Yeah. The all bird bowl. Because at that point, if I lose the Super Bowl to Lamar Jackson going for 130 yards and doing shit I've never seen before done in a football game, fine.
Starting point is 00:39:56 I like the Ravens. I'm from 50 miles north of Baltimore. I like the Ravens. I just want some sort of like Saquon like yeah like 300 yard game. Saquon revenge game except the Giants can never make the playoffs. Like some kind of like backflip or full full somersault. 99 yard run just to really put like a dagger through the heart of like I don't know the Chargers. Like like he he jumps off the back of some guy.
Starting point is 00:40:26 Right. Diving into the end zone. Like, yeah. And he like lands through the end. He jumps so far that they actually have to make sure he didn't like jump the ball out of bounds. It's like jump the length of the end zone and land out of bounds. There's some shit. I want some NFL Blitz shit.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Sure. I'll buy that. Yeah. All right. So, yeah. So Eagles, Eagles Packers, I think. The NFL official prediction, which is kind of weird that NFL.com would have an official prediction, kind of selling the script there, guys.
Starting point is 00:41:03 Revealing your little playbook here. Revealing your secrets, yes. Yeah. They have us beating the Packers and the Bucs and losing to the Lions. And they have the Lions playing the Ravens in Super Bowl. They have the Chiefs losing to the Ravens in the NFC. I mean, I think so.
Starting point is 00:41:20 Yeah. Yeah, because so we'll play if it's Bucks versus Commanders. So we'll play the winner of that game. Yep. I think we play the lowest remaining seed after. So it's a re-seed round. Yeah, I believe it's re-seeded. I honestly can't remember.
Starting point is 00:41:41 So if the Bucks win, the Lions get the Bucs. And we actually get winner of Rams-Vikings. Which is kind of weird. You know what I would really like? Just Kansas City lose their first game. Oh, and just get mauled by
Starting point is 00:41:59 whatever. Like the Broncos would be really fucking funny. I don't really care. the other the other lion super bowl also would not piss me off no that'd be that'd be that'd be cool um but anyone but the commanders like i like and i i do have beef with vikings fans because you tried to babies big pussies sorry respect minnesota fuck you you you get he's doing it he's doing it no I also wouldn't mind Buffalo either oh that
Starting point is 00:42:34 would be honestly like if I can't be in the Super Bowl Buffalo Buffalo Lions would be fucking just a shit ton of oh just rust the rust bowl yeah oh I love that sort of ton of fun. Oh, just rust the rust bowl. Yeah. Oh, I love that. Sort of one of those weird battle for the soul of the Republican Party games.
Starting point is 00:42:56 Yeah, so that's our official look at the playoffs, I guess. We're at 43 minutes already. Yeah, Phillies haven't signed anyone in. look at the playoffs, I guess. We're at 43 minutes already. Yeah. Phillies haven't signed anyone in. No. Temple got the OC from Montana State, looks like. Who's very good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:13 I mean, he's the best offense. But they were humming. Yeah. Pro spread, which seems to be... And you tell me if I'm wrong. Yeah. It's basically modern pro stuff like no we're just doing nfl yeah yeah yeah well because remember like the way it essentially works in football
Starting point is 00:43:31 is that the is that the pro game steals from the college game which steals from the high school game yeah uh and then like you get like weird stuff in like you get really weird stuff in high school like not that you should be watching they They do like fucking wing tea and shit. Yeah. Yeah. They're just like, oh yeah, we're going to run the flex bone. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:49 They run. They do run the flight. They run the flex bone. No, you can look up. Cause I'm, cause like I get so into like, like, uh, like looking at strategy. I'm like, I'll see like books. So I looked up like pro spread offense and it's like $99. It's your pro spread, pro spread playbook.
Starting point is 00:44:04 Right. And in the same like store, it's like, is your pro spread pro spread playbook right in the same like store it's like are you a high school coach here's yeah here's wing t here's here's uh yeah single your single wing here's fucking flex bone i think isn't flex bone like the most common high school offense i think so yeah because it's easy it's easy to teach it's easy to run it's easy to teach yeah unless you're to run. It's easy to teach. Unless you're like one of those weird fucking Texas schools that plays with NCAA rules.
Starting point is 00:44:31 Six on six football or something. They play because I think Texas is the only state that uses NCAA rules. Every other state uses the National High School. Yes. So they're fucking You got fucking air raid in fucking texas high school football fuck it we're gonna run the notre dame box yeah yeah yeah we got mike
Starting point is 00:44:51 leach's playbook let's do it oh it just says throw ball good yeah 90 times i mean that that could be a way because the plays are all named the plays are all like got cute names. Yeah. Throw a ball good. Yeah. Mary, green, purple. Hey, it's easy to memorize. It's easy to memorize. Yeah. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:17 We also hired a general manager for the Temple Isles. So it seems like they are. Committing to football. This seems to me to be like the last like, all right, we're making a real try of this. Right. If it doesn't work, fuck it, FCS. But we're going to give it, so to speak, the good old college try. Give it the good old college try.
Starting point is 00:45:39 We get a stadium. We're not. They get a stadium, but it's in fucking Temple Ambler Temple Ambler Tambler Yeah Did you know that Temple used to have a stadium? No I didn't
Starting point is 00:45:55 I think they malched in the 50s Yeah pretty dumb Pretty dumb of them Oh yeah Temple Stadium I'm seeing that right now Yeah it actually kind of looked nice. That old school. Like West Oak Lane? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:09 Yeah. Huh. Until they moved to the event in 78. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah, because you got to say that. There's a couple older high school stadiums in Philly where LaSalle plays and where Frankfurt plays.
Starting point is 00:46:22 They're actually pretty old school. Oh, you know abdul carter who's like a star uh dt on penn state you know he went to school frankfurt south lasalle high school lasalle high school yeah you know it's you know it's funny when you were telling you were telling me you were sitting next to a kid that like uh what was what school was he playing he went to illinois illinois um dude like i did had no idea that imhotep Charter was like this fucking powerhouse high school program and because when I first heard of it
Starting point is 00:46:49 I was like alright what is this name like I was like I'm a little skeptical of this and then I don't think they're Egyptian I don't think so but yeah apparently fucking powerhouse high school program.
Starting point is 00:47:07 DJ Moore, Charlie Brown, I think a bunch of guys. Yeah, yeah, a bunch of guys came out there. So yeah, things are looking up for Temple. There was this suck that Trey Thomas hit the portal. He was like all of our good defensive players. And all of our running backs. Anyway, Sixers, who cares? You said something
Starting point is 00:47:33 happened with Embiid I wasn't following. Oh, just he's been out regularly. The Sixers are still kind of butt. Give him the ear off it. Yeah, honestly. At this point, I don't. I watched them beat the Celtics. That was nice. They did beat the Celtics.
Starting point is 00:47:51 It's a lost season already. Yeah, they might not make the playoffs. They beat the Raptors. Yeah, they're 15-20. Maybe this is a soft tank year. I mean, at this point,
Starting point is 00:48:05 you're like a third of the way through the season already. Who cares? Yeah. Actually, almost halfway through. Although they're not that far out of a play-in tournament spot. Yeah. But that's worth. Part of me is like, alright, might as well just get the draft picks.
Starting point is 00:48:22 Honestly, yeah. Let's see. Flyers, Flan. Flyers, Flan. Flyers, Flan. Everyone's favorite dessert. I do like Flan. I love me a Flan.
Starting point is 00:48:35 Flyers fans run amok. You have someone attack. They were attacking the Habs. The Habs, the Maple Leafs. Yeah, yeah. They just like some guy basically landed a bunch of cheap shots.'s just like yeah that that that tracks fucking idiots all right uh let's see we're at uh 15 minutes let's let's get the messages yeah let's do it before we run out of time so we have four fucking dms and then four voicemails let's see how many we get through yeah um we could we
Starting point is 00:49:04 could take turns reading. I apologize. They're out of order chronologically. I just pulled them from all the different sources. We got the first one. Hey, Tom. Yay, Liam. This is see they them from Illinois. Marco Rubio's son
Starting point is 00:49:20 just ruined what could have been the best bowl game moments of the year by denying Desmond Watson a touchdown opportunity at the end of this kid plays football even though he's tiny and has no right to have a roster spot what teams you play for Florida at the end of a Florida game well there you go but anyway
Starting point is 00:49:38 yay Florida won Notre Dame won and that would be the Michigan Bowl game in a couple weeks. They beat Alabama. Fuck Ohio State. Look forward to the women's basketball season kicking the full gear after Notre Dame beat UConn last week.
Starting point is 00:49:53 Happy holidays. Liam is doing the thumbs down. I am. All right. Hi, Tom and yay, Liam. This is Mika from D.C. Mika from D.C.? Sorry. Pronounce he him. Got too nervous to leave a voicemail so I'm sending
Starting point is 00:50:08 a message instead. What? This is my first time sending anything. For the first time ever I decided to watch an Eagles game against the Commanders and I'm still in agony seeing the birds get absolutely massacred. Blowdown. Not to mention what they just put Jalen Hurst through this week.
Starting point is 00:50:24 From the stupid shit about his cleats to him getting hit with a nasty concussion the first half of the game. Yeah. Not to mention what they just put Jalen Hurts through this week from the stupid shit about his cleats to him getting hit with a nasty concussion the first half of the game. Yes. I've yet to learn more about football, but these are my takes so far, and I finally get why people tune into sports. Welcome. Have a happy holiday,
Starting point is 00:50:34 and fuck Penn State. I'm just getting into football, but fuck Penn State. That's good. That's a good place to be. Fuck the SEC as well. As well. Put
Starting point is 00:50:47 Texas back in the Big 12. Yeah. Get out of here. You deserve to sit there with West Virginia. Yeah. All right. We got a long one. This is Rasheen. Hey, Tommy. Liam Rasheen again. The Cleveland Guardians continue to break my heart with trades.
Starting point is 00:51:03 Sending sweet, handsome boy Andres Jimenez to the Blue Jays and trading Josh Naylor to the Dimebacks for some pocket lint and a used napkin, dumping salary, and canceling the formerly annual fan event, Guards Fest, so that Larry Dolan can fund his other failed son's match, fourth place finish in the Republican gubernatorial primary in 2026 instead of actually invested in the sports team he owns. Fucking get him.
Starting point is 00:51:26 Jesus. Like I hope, Slade Cecchioni Cecchioni proves me wrong and turn things around but a 2-7 7-7 6.66
Starting point is 00:51:41 Yes. ERA 6-6-. ERA. 6.66 ERA. 2024 season doesn't really inspire confidence. They immediately splint. Splimped. This is my problem.
Starting point is 00:51:56 I read so fast. I know. It's my gift. I read ahead. Okay. Flipped Spencer Horwitz to Pittsburgh after getting him from Toronto for some much-needing pitching. Re-signed Shane Bieber for the back half of next year, plus a player option for 2026.
Starting point is 00:52:11 And Carlos Santana is coming back for us a year. Hopefully his return is a better one than Cookie Carrasco's was last season. Also, to concur with everyone else on the Browns-Brook Park Jimmy Dome debacle. Wow. Debacle. If Lambeau Field doesn't need a dome, the Brownshores hell don't. Nor do they deserve one.
Starting point is 00:52:32 Feel free to refer to my long rant against the dome here if you wish. My Packers are... My Packers are win. And in for a wild card spot. Yeah. And the Cavs machine continues to go... Maybe I can snag a Cavs playoff ticket now that I'm finally moving back to Cleveland this spring because my bastard. And the Cavs machine continues to go brrrr.
Starting point is 00:52:46 Maybe I can snag a Cavs playoff ticket now that I'm finally moving back to Cleveland this spring because my bastard landlord leased my place out from under me. Anyway, go birds, go packs, go Cavs, go guards, fuck Penn State,
Starting point is 00:52:54 fuck the Dolan family, fuck the Browns, fuck Ohio State, fuck the Tennessee Volunteers police escort for causing a long enough traffic gridlock to make me miss picking up my medications
Starting point is 00:53:02 at the pharmacy early today and made the entire landlord class, especially my current landlord, have only the nicest of times. I'd like to add another fuck Ohio State, go Oregon and Rose Bowl. Whoops. And another go pack go because we clinched the first shutout of the season. Yeah, you guys are going to lose the first round to the Eagles.
Starting point is 00:53:17 Yeah. Go birds. Thank you, Rasheen. I am just imagining her just the curiosity, which she is typing these takes. It's like that meme of the cat just slapping the keyboard. But no, there's some gold there in those rants. I like it.
Starting point is 00:53:40 Yeah, sorry. We're enemies, I guess, for a week. For just a week, yeah. For just a week. I don't hate the Packers. I know some people really fucking hate the packers i i don't actually like them growing up because of the the well it's fat and i like cheese so um but i also like cold cold snowy weather and etc and all that um all right we got one more dm you want to read this one you get the short one is rebecca from illinois once again got my ticket for the fill more seats fill more show thank you here's my question should i
Starting point is 00:54:08 take the am tracker drive for nine hours which requires me fixing my 93 trans am fix the trans am that fucking slaps i knew that you were gonna agree this nascar season has been an absolute catastrophe with joey lagana winning the championship at the lowest average season's point since the playoff format was invented. I patiently await it until I see who will win the Daytona 500 for now. For 2025, my betting is on the Seabelt. Anyhow, I was hoping for a safe and bountiful
Starting point is 00:54:33 new year, Rebecca. Well, that new year, safe and bountiful, I don't know if you would call it that, but... We'll get there. Yeah, take Amtrak for nine hours or fix the Trans Am. Fix the Trans Am. I mean, I am, we're both transit advocates. Yes, we are. But you are a car.
Starting point is 00:54:54 Yes. A shitty car guy at that. Not saying a 93 Trans Am is necessarily a shitty car, but it needs to be fixed. Dude, you could probably fix it. 93 Trans Am. Like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:55:08 like, I would think so. Like, like, I mean, that's what's the computer in that? There's probably, it's,
Starting point is 00:55:16 it's probably limited. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, it's probably like an, like an eight bit fucking memory. If that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:24 Yeah. Don't go over this RPM. That's probably it. That's fun. Do that. And then, because Amtrak's not going anywhere. Well,
Starting point is 00:55:36 hopefully not going anywhere. For now. Yeah, so, yeah, do that. And fucking pimp that shit out and then, like, do... I'm just imagining it with hydraulics outside the film. Oh, hell yeah, do that. And fucking pimp that shit out. And then, like, do... I'm just imagining it with hydraulics outside the film. Oh, hell yeah, dude.
Starting point is 00:55:50 Hell yeah, dude. You got rims with all of your pictures on the side. That's fun. Yeah. You got spinners. Yeah, like that. Just rise his fucking face on the hood. Why not Alright
Starting point is 00:56:08 Thanks for the DMs everybody We got We got We got Wookie, Wayne and Bobby Alright Let's listen to Wookie Wookie's running along again
Starting point is 00:56:24 Hey guys It's post to Wookie. Wookie's running along again. Hey, guys. Postman Wookie once again. Hello, Tom. Yay, Liam. Pronouns he and him. Glad you guys enjoyed my ironing grievances. I was pretty worn down by peak postal season and just the whole bullshit dealing with Omaha Peets super fans telling me that I'm wrong when you could just easily look up stats and fucking transactions and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:56:55 I was a little fucking peeped. Anyways, a little arena ball update. Since the Harrisburg Stampede are now dead. Um, uh, I guess you guys can share on the, the newly named Wolfberry Scranton Mavericks. Oh,
Starting point is 00:57:15 oh, despite using a very similar logo to the old AF2, Wolfberry Scranton Pioneers, they decided to be a little different and go with a Western-themed name. I get what they're trying to do. They're trying to be Mavericks, you know.
Starting point is 00:57:34 They posted the fucking definition of it when they announced it and all that. No one was alright. I guess they'll use a type of red and a white and Carolina blue color scheme with a little bit of red, which will contrast nicely with the Albany Firebirds and Orlando Predators in their division.
Starting point is 00:57:59 But, yeah, the Wilkes-Barre Scranton team now has a name. Other than that, the National Arena League announced their schedule, updated schedule after the deletion of the Harrisburg Stampede from existence. And it's not a bad schedule. They came up with divisions. There's like a essentially East versus West. They're calling it National and American whatever.
Starting point is 00:58:32 The concaf AFL. The concaf. It's a fine schedule. The Holy Cogs. It's just about regional play and all that. The Carolina Cobras have to play the Idaho Horsemen twice. And then Carolina has to travel to fucking Idaho.
Starting point is 00:58:51 And then Idaho has to travel to fucking Carolina. Meanwhile, for two out of their three non-divisional play games. Meanwhile, Omaha has three non-divisional games and you know who they play? Fucking Shreveport who just... There's a Shreveport team? They play fucking Shreveport three times.
Starting point is 00:59:16 What's a Shreveport team? Yeah, yeah. There's a center Omaha Defense Friends League. We got a... They come back. The Mohawks. Oh, we got a, he called back. The Bossier Shreveport Battle Wings. Wow. I got some battle wings. All right.
Starting point is 00:59:37 Really, it's been a long walk. One's supposed to be in Milwaukee once again, but. Three minutes is the time. Remember that. Anyway, it's just, yeah, fuck the Omaha Peay. It's just the Omaha Peay. Friendly. And honestly, they could, yeah, quicker.
Starting point is 00:59:56 The Carolina Cobras, Columbus Lions, Wheeling, West Virginia Miners, and I don't know, a few other teams can get out the better. Just sick of Omaha doing everything possible to make their schedule nice and easy so they can count about being three straight undefeated years. We'll see. They've lost their quarterback, Tommy Armstrong Jr., to retirement, so he can be with his family.
Starting point is 01:00:29 So, yeah, I tried like no more beef, but, yeah, they've done this to like three or four different leagues over like a 25-year period by now. And, yeah, if only they could get along with the people that run IFO and AF1, maybe they could actually be on TV, but no, they've got to be big fish in small ponds. But anyways, this one
Starting point is 01:00:57 is a rookie. Trying not to die under the weight of Jeff Bezos. Have a good one, guys. Keep up the good work. Redacted Jeff Bezos. Have a good one, guys. Keep up the good work. Redacted Jeff Bezos. Have a good one. Thanks, Wookie.
Starting point is 01:01:11 I appreciate the arena football breakdown. That's fucked. I have a correction. It's not that three or four team. There are so many arena teams it's like i'm reading about like leftist parties and like the splits like that's what i feel like i'm reading yeah uh yeah no no the current shreveport team is a shreveport rogaru okay which is some sort of monster oh okay um and uh yeah that that eats eats cattle sure yeah why not okay did you see
Starting point is 01:01:49 that there's a cargo ship stuck in the delaware river good yeah it's carrying salt i need a laugh yeah it's it's stuck um uh all right we got two more uh voicemails. We got Wayne and Bob. I think I typed it booby by accident. You did. Hey, Tommy, it's Wayne, pronoun T-M. And I just got done with basically witnessing how every single sports team that I root for, with the exception of the Philadelphia Eagles that basically have the same sort of attack that
Starting point is 01:02:27 one would have with basically a fucking pool noodle. First off, it started with watching Celtic fucking forget how to play soccer against Rangers. Witnessing them get completely crushed 3-0 against Rangers,
Starting point is 01:02:47 and then watch them go, turn around, beat St. Mirren, and then Rangers fucking end up with a draw against fucking Hibernian of Edinburgh. And then next match, we have Liverpool versus Manchester United. Fucking Liverpool was able to get a 2-1 lead leading into the 80th minute and then gives up a match-tying goal to Manchester United, having the match end up 2-2 with the first draw. Thankfully, it is offset by the fact that Arsenal drew to Brighton,
Starting point is 01:03:23 so Liverpool maintains their lead. And then comes tonight, Rutgers versus Wisconsin, and probably the most important week if Rutgers has any shot of making the NCAA tournament at this rate, because they have fallen completely off the wheel after beating Stephen Hall and Penn State, losing to Princeton. Goddamn Princeton.
Starting point is 01:03:50 As well as poor losses to Indiana. Tonight they come in, they have Wisconsin coming to the rack in one of the most important matches of the season, and they lose the game 75-63, basically trying to take way too many three points, trying to play hero ball instead of trying to get the best shot possible in each possession. And at this point, Rutgers' season probably will be over by next week if they don't get key wins against Purdue or UCLA.
Starting point is 01:04:20 That's basically the stage we're at in terms of Rutgers basketball. I don't even see them making the NIT at the rate they're going with just Ron Harper and with Ron Harper Jr. and Ace Bailey. It's like having a Ferrari without tires or wheels at this point with this basketball team. Anyway, here's hoping. At this point, I'm throwing all my weight behind Notre Dame at this point because I do not want to see Penn State win a fucking
Starting point is 01:04:50 national championship in anything other than fucking women's volleyball fuck Penn State fuck Penn State fuck Penn State you're correct I don't think he likes Penn State I don't fucking like Penn. I don't think he likes Penn State. I don't fucking like Penn State.
Starting point is 01:05:05 I don't know why. I'm going to have to send you... Thanks, Ray, for the update. It sucks for Rutgers. It does. I saw something else come across
Starting point is 01:05:24 my feed. There is a article about interviewing Notre Dame because we're talking about Notre Dame. Yes. Did you see this article? Notre Dame fans from Philly? Like why? Yes.
Starting point is 01:05:36 Yeah. This is the most like Philly looking boomer I've ever fucking seen in my life. I think I know what you're talking about. Yeah. And the banner uh and the guy looks like it's just for it's the it's the second picture in the article the guy the blue shirt yes yes yes yes yeah just the confusion on his face i've like the fuck you taking a picture you got you got your fucking phone out you got to take the picture now yeah get the banner
Starting point is 01:06:05 in there oh put the water bottles on top so that the fucking thing don't fall down it fall it's falling down all the time because i didn't hang it up right that's this this fucking guy that's the most philly looking motherfucker i've ever seen like northeast philly oh i just i just brought the story back up and yep and and didn't even like they had this fucking flag printed and didn't fucking iron it this looks like trash do you see that the two
Starting point is 01:06:34 the leprechaun is two different sizes yes I do why are they two different it's slightly different aspect ratios oh my god this is It's slightly different aspect ratio. Oh, my God. This is beautiful. I'll have to put this one in the show notes, even though we're not fucking talking about it.
Starting point is 01:06:52 Yeah. Oh, my God. These fucking scumbags. I love it. Half of these guys went to North or Judge. Yeah. All right. We got one last voicemail from Bobby.
Starting point is 01:07:08 Hey, Tom. Hey, Liam. It's Bobby from Western Maryland going Wednesday, January 8th, which is right before the Packers and Eagles play on wild card weekend. So first, good luck to you. I hope that if we don't win this game, I hope it is you guys, because fuck the Lions, fuck the Vikings. And what I realized, I already screwed up. And, yeah, obviously only one of us can win the game,
Starting point is 01:07:30 but if we don't win the game and don't go to the Super Bowl, I hope it's you guys. Fuck the Lions, fuck the Vikings, and they can both eat shit. So I also just want to give you a quick Packers preview. I want to say I think that the Eagles win the game, but the Packers are still a damn good team. We're the seventh seed, but we have 11 wins. All of our losses were by 10 points or less. All but one of those was by one score or less, and offensively, it's everything that you
Starting point is 01:07:57 expect. It's Jordan Love's good. Josh Jacobs is good. The offensive line is good, and the run game and the pass game. Tucker Craft is good. The receivers are good enough. And the only real issue to watch out here is, well, I guess there's two. There's a slow start. The team has really been off to some slow starts lately. And also drops. We have four pass catchers in the top 25 in drop percentage in the NFL. So if we start fast, watch out.
Starting point is 01:08:23 If not, you guys are going to win the game. That's just how it's gone all season. Defensively, not a lot has changed. We're going to be really good all over the field, except for the pass rush. Since week one, the only major changes are rookie linebacker Edgerton Cooper has really shown he's the real deal, and he was not really a factor back in week one. Same with rookie safety Evan Williams.
Starting point is 01:08:44 He is really good. I think he's going to be a good safety in the NFL for a long time. The issue is there that he is injured and he may or may not play in this game. He's probably leaning towards playing. The kicking game is a lot better for us. Our kicker in week one, and I think it was week one through week six, could not hit the broadside of a barn. But the issue is he was a nice guy. Brandon McManus is a piece of shit. So we have a better kicker, but he sucks as a person.
Starting point is 01:09:17 That's about it. Good luck to you guys. And fuck Penn State. Fuck the Yankees. Fuck the Bears. Have a good one. Fuck the Bears in there, man. Come on, man.
Starting point is 01:09:28 Come on. Jesus, man. They're not in playoffs. Like, fuck. Come on. You don't got to. I mean, I guess we're kind of endorsed like trouncing your enemies. So, yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:39 I would say fuck the Cowboys, too. So, fuck it. Fuck the Cowboys. Oh, someone's getting sleepy. I'm getting hungry. the Cowboys too. Fuck it. Fuck the Cowboys. Oh, someone's getting sleepy. I'm getting hungry. Yeah, me too. I got doll lentils waiting for me. All right, let's get out of here then.
