Episode Date: February 9, 2025

Jilly and I are driving booze and watching live coverage of the Eagles fans celebrating on Broad Street. Here's some facts...if I were still in Philly...I'd be the guy. It's weird, but I feel like my sports fan personality is closer in line with Philly than anywhere else. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

All right, everybody. You can leave the volume up. We can listen. You can turn it down a little bit. We have downloaded the ABC, the 6ABC app. Action News for the win. We're watching Action News, which is the number one. Well, sorry, it's the Delaware Valley's number one newscast.

And we are watching. Holy shit, people are firing off just like bottle rockets and fireworks and shit in this crowd on Broad Street as the Eagles have won the Super Bowl. It's about 10, 18 Central, so 11, 18 of Philadelphia. And holy shit, that is a lot of fucking people. Look, good for the birds. I was rooting for you tonight. I wish this team would have been fucking amazing when I was there because I'd probably still be there. I wouldn't be pulling my pud in St. Louis. Look, this isn't about me because the Eagles have won the Super Bowl,

but I don't give a fuck. If the Eagles would have been a better football team or the Phillies would have been good, if any of those fucking teams would have been good, you guys probably wouldn't have hated me so much because I would have been saying nice things, and I'd probably still be there, and I'd be New Angelo, and I'd be the fucking cock of the walk babe but instead I'm doing this podcast from my living room floor in St. Louis but here we are

and the Eagles have won their second Super Bowl and we are watching the uh the live coverage on 6 ABC action news Delaware Valley's leading number one news broadcast move rick williams though like i know he's no jim gardner but he rules he does move closer every one of these people looks like franiac every single person out here and there's number 62 fucking jerseys all look like franiac but anyway oh. Look at that. Oh, my God. That's bigger than most cities' parades. Oh, God. There are more people on Broad Street right now in Center City, Philadelphia.

Oh, I wish we could have been there for this. When we lived there, this would have been so fun. I know, but nothing good happened when we were there. Every team sucked. Chip Kelly was 5-1 per the chant on the septa. And that's it. Basketball was tanking. Hockey was mediocre.

Baseball was god-awful and hadn't even decided to start. I argue the Flyers were the most exciting thing when we were there. It wasn't even arguing. It's true. They made the playoffs once when we were there. Everybody else was fine. Well, I guess the Eagles made the playoffs once when we were there, too. But, fuck, look at this, though.

They're at Broad and Locust, it looks like. And these people. They're just shooting fireworks. That's so dangerous. And it might be because I'm drunk and maybe it's my alky hall talking. But, fuck, I miss these fucking people. Look, I'm going to tell you a little story. And it's not really a story.

It's just an opinion. But it's an opinion that is fact. I am these fucking people. No, you fucked up. You fucked up. I did. Like, I don't know that I'd want to live there. But, like, look at this.

These fucking fireworks. You would love living there right now. Well, totally right now, yes. But, like, I think personality-wise, like, yes, I might. Look at these people. From a distance, there's a gentleman in what appears to be an eagle costume that's just watching these fireworks being shot off. People are going to lose a fucking eye tonight.

People are going to lose limbs tonight. People are going to fall off of fucking poles tonight. And imagine what's happening in New Orleans right now. I know. I know. They greased the poles in New Orleans. The mayor was trying to explain that the poles on Bourbon Street are like 100 years old. They can't handle people

climbing them. Oh, there's people climbing them. Those poles are coming down! Eagles fans on Bourbon Street, a place where the bars realistically don't close. The big-ass beers are flowing. Things are going well. They claim they close. They don't close. And the big-ass beers, I mean,

last time we were down there, are still like $10. They're really cheap compared to Vegas you know, Vegas, Nashville, other tourist cities. And you can drink open containers all over New Orleans. True. Now, obviously on Broad Street tonight, you're probably doing the same shit. Like, Broad Street tonight is Bourbon Street. So, I mean, that is a fucking madhouse.

But that whole game, like, were there any Chiefs fans there? No, I think the Chiefs fans got bored with being good, and they're just like, ah, we'll just be here every year. We're not going to spend money. Eagles fans fucking came out. Tank was there. I texted him. I was like, are you at the game?

He's like, damn, Skippy. And he started sending me pictures of all the shit and where his seats were. Fuck, man. But anyway, let me play a couple. Taylor got booed, and she was like, whoa. Yeah, because that's my fucking McDougal's coming through knowing what's what, booing that bitch. All right, anyway, let me play a couple commercials here.

So anyway, back to the idea of what would have happened if teams would have been better when i was in philadelphia because remember josh in a show and tony bruno and josh number one in philadelphia persons 25 54 it was it was a great show um and obviously like tony rolled the fuck out in the middle of it and people blame me for that and i don't blame myself look he's a fucking lunatic bless his heart i like him but he's a fucking lunatic that left every job yet look i thought i'm bad at this shit fucking tony was leaving like million and a half dollar a year jobs just cause just like and i'm out don't want to do this shit anymore like he's a fucking nutcase i love him i like he didn't do anything to me on a personal level except stop coming to work one day and blow

up the show but like i don't look i fuck people up before it's fine but like you and tony are cool though oh no he's my friend oh yeah he's my friend I have no issue at all with the guy we're all cool yeah like I have no beef with Tony like like I fucked people in a bad way like I've done shit that people could look back on and go god Josh that didn't work out for that person and Tony look Tony fucked me over in this like there's no doubt about that he just stopped coming to work and blew up the show, but I mean, whatever, it's fine. It's not a big deal, but I believe that if the Philadelphia teams would have been better when I was there, I wouldn't have had to have been so negative all the time. Now, granted, I'm just a negative person. Anyway, I'm, I'm an asshole. I'm just a pessimist. I'm a narcissistic, pessimistic, fuck a mystic. Like that's just who I am. Right? But if the teams would have been better

when I was there and there would have been something to latch onto, because last time I checked, Astros go to the World Series. You know who fucking loved me? Astros people, because I was all on board and it was a fun thing and they were a legitimately good baseball team. I was honest about them. I was critical when I needed to be, but they were good. And we went to the World Series and we went to the games and we gave away tickets and it was fun. I mean, literally it was the worst era in the history of sports in Philadelphia. Every team was either mediocre or fucking terrible. And that's how it was. I feel like if I would have been in a position where I was talking about better teams and I was able to be more positive about the teams, I believe that people would have liked me more

because I would have been more positive. Now, granted, I was still fucking number one for a fucking year. To be fair, if we want to pull the curtain all the way back here, I don't think it was that people didn't like you there. You had a very good following there. You did that yourself.

Oh, yeah, I'm a fucking nutcase. Like, I fuck shit up, no doubt. Let's be real. You, like, self-destructed that situation at wip like i do everywhere i'm a fucking nutbag i get it but like except for here i kind of did that here but they also kind of fucked me here but it doesn't matter um but the point being in all of this is that i feel like if the teams would have been better i wouldn't have had to have been super negative all the time and if i wasn't super all the time, I would have had more people that were digging what

I was doing. Like personality wise, and I know I got people that listen in Philly. There's a bunch of my listeners there that are in Philly. I got people that message me all the time that let me know they listen in Philly. Like I think personality wise, when it comes to how I view sports teams and how I react to sports teams on social media and how I talk about my teams my personality fits Philadelphia better than any other city I've been in because like I'm here in St. Louis I am a legitimate St. Louis Cardinals fan when I got on the radio and talked about the St. Louis Cardinals here a horrible baseball team that hasn't made the playoffs the last two years that's had their two worst seasons in like a hundred years of baseball. When I'd get on the air and shit on them, people got their feelings hurt over that and they couldn't handle it. In Philly, if you have

two bad seasons, and I'm talking historically bad for that franchise seasons, they want everybody fired. Here, everybody's a fucking dipshit. They're just fucking Midwestern rubes. That's, bless your hearts, if you're a St. Louis person listening, I like you. You're nice. But as far as giving opinions and shit, I have opinions that are befitting or fit in places like Philadelphia, Houston, big, major American cities, not giant, small towns like fucking St. Louis. So here's the wide feet of Bourbon Street. Oh, boy. Dude, both of these situations do seem miserable. That is asses to crotches down there on Bourbon Street. Oh boy. Dude, both of these situations do seem miserable. Like that is

asses to crotches down there on Bourbon. And I've been on Bourbon Street for big shit like this. Like after LSU won the national championship in, I guess it would have been the 2007 season, the 2008 game. I went to the game, me and Matt were there. We did our radio show, went to the game. I was on the field after the game. Now, a lot of people had cleared out after that, so it wasn't like this kind of traffic. But me and my buddy Martin went to a strip club afterwards, after the game, a place called Bat Daddy's, I think that's what it was called. And they were unappealing women. But we went, boy, that's fucking, I I mean just talking butts to fucking belt buckles man like that is a fucking mess down there on Bourbon Street man but good for fucking Philadelphia

people like like I don't have any ill will against you and the more that time goes by like I don't I don't like I appreciate your fucking overzealous nature and I appreciate the fact that you're fucking lunatics and I appreciate the fact that you're super passionate about this shit imagine being these people who are on the radio there most of them are talentless dipshits they're not good at anything they're just dopes they have no real radio ability but all you gotta do is throw them on the fucking radio and they'll have a goddamn job because you people listen to them because you care so fucking much you're obsessed with this shit good for you I like I feel like I'd excel greatly. I did excel greatly there. I did extremely well there. I was a fucking G. And if my boss never

gets fired and I have my support system there and the Tony thing doesn't blow up and every story's not a negative, who knows? Maybe I'm still there. Look, I should have been New Angelo. That's the reality. I should have been. Angelo that's the reality I should have been that's what I was brought in to be I was brought in to be afternoon I was brought in to do nights but when they hire me they're like listen Gargano's gonna be out soon he's a fucking putz he's not good well here's one of the reasons they hire me fault too I mean like at the time you were younger but like welcome to the real world bosses get fired you fucking deal with it I know I'm not I wasn't good at it you were not but let me tell you still be in philly right now probably yes uh and maybe they would have fired

me anyway but they probably eventually would have but point being in all of this is like when i was there you're talking about how do i put this when they brought in, they brought me in to do nights, but when they hired me to do nights, they were like, listen, eventually you're going to do afternoons. Cause we got this guy here, the cause. And this is what they told me is that he was great when the teams were good. So like the Eagles made a run in the late two thousands. Like they, they had a great season. Like the Eagles had like a two, I forgot what year it was, but the Eagles were pretty fucking good in the late 2000s, still with Donovan McNabb. They were winning World Series and going to World Series. The Flyers went to the Stanley Cup against

the Blackhawks and the 76ers were fine. And when things were going good, this guy, the cuz, Anthony Gargano was like, great, because everybody was in a good mood. Everybody was happy. The teams are good. So you can tune in every day and you're just waiting to hear some affirmation from a local dude to get on there and tell you how great everything is. Well, when shit started going south, but he was still doing the positive rah-rah shit, people tuned out. That's how this went. Like they tuned out and they were like, this isn't interesting. We need some serious like ballsy takes. And that's why they hired me. They hired me because they felt I could deliver that. And I did. So when they hired me, they hired me with the idea that eventually I was going to be doing afternoons. I wasn't leaving my afternoon drive show in Houston to go do nights forever

in Philadelphia. I knew that I was eventually going to move to mornings. They didn't want to move me up as fast as they did. But what happened is the cuz took the job over at 97.5. So it opened the job up a little bit faster. But they eventually wanted me to do afternoons and then eventually take over for Angelo was kind of like the blueprint for what we were going to do. And I think everybody in the fucking world knew that, that that was the blueprint but um obviously shit went south and and here i am drinking a vodka water you did that and i'm watching deuces rogers celebrate the eagles went on television um but yeah so big picture you know i watch these these highlights of this and like that's the that's the part that bothers me is not that i'm not there anymore it's that i know that if i were there and if i would have done things a little different

and things would have gone a slightly differently towards the end and i wouldn't have lost my fucking mind and my boss wouldn't have got fired and all that that i would be like very big shit there like basically it would be like preston and steve and then me that would be the radio world in philadelphia because nobody else really does anything there so it would be like Preston and Steve and then me. That would be the radio world in Philadelphia because nobody else really does anything there. So it would have been Preston and Steve, which is the big rock morning show there for those of you who don't know, which would make sense that you don't if you're not from there. And then it would have been me. I would have been right up there with those guys. And who knows 10 years? With 10 years to my advantage there, again, I left there in 2016. That was nine years ago ago when I left so with all that like I'd be the biggest shit in fucking town sports wise there would be nobody

better than me because there's nobody on the radio in Philadelphia right now that is close to as good at doing radio as I am but there's also people who are considerably better than me that cheerleader is pasty as fuck holy cow homegirl see the chick right there in the middle? Look at this chick. Her legs are white. She's like albino. You look at some of these tan chicks up there on the stage and they're wearing the tights and stuff and they're tan. Homegirl in the middle that's taking a picture of the other homegirl, she is translucent. There's Travis's ex cheering on the Eagles. Oh, boy. She's getting kind of annoying.

We'll talk about her in a second. What's her name? Kayla Nicole. Yeah. She's a lot hotter than Taylor Swift, but at some point, ma'am, it's like, all right, your whole image and your whole reputation, your whole act is that your boyfriend,

your ex-boyfriend is now fucking Taylor Swift, and that's all you got. Give me something else. Yes, you are far more attractive than Taylor Swift. And that ass is nice. And I like it. But like, all you've got is him at the ball game and rooting against Travis. Like, I get it.

He seems like maybe he did something shitty to you. I feel you. I respect that. I get it. But you got to have a slightly different act than just, hey, I used tovis kelsey and now i hate him what that's fair yes but i do like her i am curious to know what would have happened like travis looked checked out from jump by the way like everything like early on in this game the eagles just fucking ripped these dudes hearts out and travis like you could tell early on that travis was done you could go with the theory that like he was supposed to propose tonight.

Oh, she was wearing white. I saw a lot of people say that. Like that was supposed to be they win, he proposes, he retires. And so maybe like that freaked him out and he was nervous. No, I don't think that's it. I just think he's like there have been multiple games this year. He's getting Don. Hey, they should have trump come in

there and talk to jeffrey lurie i'm sure jeff would love that trump walks in he's like jeffrey lurie yeah you didn't vote for me but that's okay that's amazing that's great that's great i know you didn't vote for me and that's fine there's howie roseman they all when i was in philly they all fucking hated howie roseman uh now i sound like Trump damn near got fired oh and he basically did do they go to the White House yeah you got to you gotta go see the dude you gotta go see the Trumpster you gotta go do it I bet you over half the dudes in the locker room there voted for Trump or would vote for Trump anyway I'm gonna mention the uh exciting whites I think those will be his favorites where are the exciting whites they call them the exciting whites they call them the whites and uh where are those exciting whites great patriots uh blankenship blankenship where's

blankenship ah get over here get over here blankenship uh i was rooting for even though even though biden loves the eagles i was rooting for the Eagles. Although, let me tell you that Mahomes, he's got a great wife. No, on the pregame he said she was a phenomenal lady. That Patrick Mahomes, he's a great guy. He's got a phenomenal lady. Got a great lady. She's an amazing lady. She's a great lady, and I feel bad for her.

But you guys went out and you got the win. You guys were like me. You were like me. You overcame a lot of obstacles. No one believed. No one believed. You guys had to fight the refs. No one believed. You guys had to fight the refs. Is that right? You guys had to fight the refs.

Did you have to fight the refs? I had to fight collusion and I had to fight rigged elections. I did. That's right. The elections were rigged. They thought these games were rigged. They thought they were rigged but they weren't rigged because you were too big to rig. Like me. You were too big to rig. This was too big

to rig and you guys went out and you kicked their ass and you beat you beat the rig but it is funny like trump impersonation aside like that first drive and like shitty trump impersonation but when they called that offensive pass interference on aj like you thought okay here we go yeah actually let's do this let's uh let's get this one posted and let's talk about the actual game. And then, you know, they're celebrating in the locker room right now. A lot of man titties bouncing around. Let's get this one up there, and then we will get another one.
