This is the Josh Innes Show. Well, the Phillies, they took game one last night over the Padres. 2-0. Kyle Schwarber hit a monster shot. Just a bomb, man. Just a total rocket. Gigantic shot. And the Phillies are now up 1-0 in their series.

And they're going to the World Series. I think it's inevitable. It felt like an inevitability. It felt like a bad matchup for St. Louis when that series happened, and then when they came back and scored six runs in the ninth inning of game one of that and won, it was like, okay, there might be something here. Braves have never felt really special this year. Padres don't feel special at all. They can have all the big names in their lineup they want.

They haven't proven anything in that lineup yet. I think it's kind of inevitable that the Phillies are going to the World Series, and I think they're going to take on the Astros, who, by the way, are going to win tonight. I think they're going to crush the Yankees tonight. And I think Altuve busts out of it tonight. We'll get into that later. But I think what we're about to see here is an Astros-Phillies World Series.

And I know it's easy to say because the Astros are the favorite against the Yankees and the Phillies have already won the first game of that series. I'm not telling you anything shocking or anything special. I'm not trying to do that. But what I'm telling you is the Phillies are going to be there. The Padres are not winning this series. The Padres are one of those teams you don't have any faith in ever. So good for them beating the Dodgers.

This is just a weird effed up year is what we've seen here so far. And the Phillies are the ones benefiting from the weird effed up year. They're scoring tons of runs in games they need to score tons of runs. They're scoring just enough runs in games in which they need to score just enough runs. Go back again. You could feel it when they came back and beat St. Louis in game one of that series. I knew the series was over at that point, right? I'm a Cardinals fan.

I felt, hey, Cardinals got it. Maybe the Phillies aren't all that. They limped into the playoffs. We got them. Once they came back and scored five in that game or six in that game and won the game six to three, it's like maybe there's something here. And when they've needed to score enough, they have. When they've gone out and needed the bullpen to do well for the most part, the bullpen's been great.

That's been one of the questions, right? You ask yourself, hey, can the Phillies bullpen do it? Well, yes, they can do it. They've been proving they can do it. They're holding up their end. Starting pitching for the most part's been spectacular. And there's nothing about the Padres that I believe in. I don't know why anybody would believe in the Padres.

They've got a bunch of big-name guys who at the end of the day haven't proven a damn thing big picture. I know that Soto's been to the World Series, won a World Series. I'm not trying to knock that guy. But as a collective, the Padres, since they've become the hot, trendy team for everybody to blow and talk about all their great young talent and their bat flips and their attitude, what have they done? Ultimately, they've done nothing.

And last night in a home playoff game, LCS for the first time in forever, what do you do? You go out and you lay a stinker, don't score a damn run. So I think the Phillies are winning this, and they might win it in like five. And they might have some close games. I'm not saying that there's some dominant force that's going to go out there and beat the Padres every night and shut them out every night, but I think they're going to go out there and they're going to win this series, and I think they're going to win it rather quickly.

I don't believe this is a close series because I don't believe in San Diego. I don't believe in San Diego's pitching. I don't believe in their big-name guys for the most part. Not like Soto. Soto, who had that great run with the Nationals, I haven't seen any of that since he's been in San Diego. Josh Bell, who's a great bat, had a chance to be a hero last night. Didn't do it. So I think the Phillies are going to win this thing easily.

And if not because of what you see on the field, it's because of what you hear and see off the field. Philly going down to yellow and brown. That's what's in. Padres on the loose. Let's go, Goose goose that's what's in Bryce gonna lose and Manny's gonna cruise that's what's in give Philly no slack and send them back that's what's in so that's the thing that became the the trendy viral video yesterday was this group of dudes doing this song in San Diego.

I have no idea what that's what's in is. I've tried to find it. The best I could find is it's some sort of slang that they use in San Diego. It's like part of their dialect. Like, hey, man, that's what's in. I don't know if it's a rallying cry for the team. I have no idea. But that was quite possible.

Like, when I heard this, that's what's in. Jilly sent that to me yesterday. It was in the morning yesterday. I was doing the show in Nashville. And Jilly sends this, and she says, I can't stop watching. I have watched this 20 times she told me and i said okay what is it then i you know that's what's in and like you wonder like i'm all about doing goofy dumb stuff look we've all done dumb stuff media people do dumb stuff i've done dumb songs i get

it philly fans i'm sure they have a bunch of dumb shit they've done too everybody i get it but this is like a special brand of shitty that's what's in it's like if russell wilson made a fan song it would be this that's what's in like watching those guys for whatever reason russell wilson was the first person that came to my mind when i heard that. The video a couple weeks ago of Russell Wilson with the remote pointing to all this stuff that he's about or whatever that everybody made fun of. And I've tried so hard to defend Russell Wilson because I just think it's easy to shit on the guy. But it's pretty obvious that he sucks at football now. I don't know if it's injuries or what. I just think he sucks at football.

And he's a big try-hard dope. And he's a nerd. And he's a big try-hard dope and he's a nerd and he's almost creepy. But when I saw that video of these white dudes just kind of strutting down the road like they're Journey in the Separate Ways video, or like they're going prowling like in Grease 2, and I'm watching these guys, I'm like, these guys are Russell Wilson. Billy going down to yellow and brown.

That's what's in. Padres on the loose. Let's go, Goose. That's what's in. And what is Goose? Bryce gonna lose, and Manny's gonna cruise. That's what's in.

Give Philly no slack, and send them back. That's what's in. I think the part that bothers me about this is not that the lyrics are fine. As someone who's written many a parody song in my day, I don't think the lyrics themselves are that bad. You know, Philly going down to yellow and brown. Is it the greatest lyric ever?

No, but it gets the point across. Hey, you're going to lose at rhymes. That's fine, right? Philly going down to yellow and brown. greatest lyric ever no but it gets the point across hey you're gonna lose it rhymes that's fine right billy going down to yellow and brown that's what's in see i'm totally okay with that like it is i mean it's at its core a fan rap or song unless you're by a legitimate artist is going to be lame like that time in houston the guy sent us the houston texans on a roll song little country song it was simple houston tex Texans on a roll song, the little country song. It was simple. Houston Texans are on a roll going to the Super Bowl.

Like the core of a wacky fan song is that speaking, the fans of the team you're singing about kind of gravitate towards you and they like your wacky fan song and they embrace it. This is not a wacky fan song that is embraced by the people of San Diego. Billy going down to yellow and brown. That's what's in. Padres on. Also, do you notice there's a guy after the first verse, if you want to call it that?

There's a guy in there after he finishes the first verse and he goes, hey, slow down. Hey, guys, slow down. Slow down. Hey, slow down, guys. Like, is he telling them to stop walking so fast? Is he saying, bro, let the song marinate. Let the lyrics marinate. You're rushing, bro.

Slow down. Hey, slow down. Guys, guys, slow down. Everybody good? Are we straight? Slow right the hell down. It's like this. To give you another example of horrible fan songs. So last week, prior to the Tennessee game versus Alabama, there is this fella that fancies himself a rapper that sits in his car and

raps about the Tennessee Vols named Andy something or another. And he's exactly what you would think. He's like Malibu's most wanted. I'm not sure if he's slow or not. I don't think he's slow. I just think he's like a hill person. So I don't think he's legit slow. Like think he's like a hill person. So I don't think he's legit slow. Like he's dumb, but he's not slow dumb.

So I think you're allowed to make fun of him. Anyway, so Andy is a big Vols guy and he's sitting shirtless in his car and he's got a tattoo. And this tattoo is of the dog Smokey, who is the mascot of the University of Tennessee. But here's the thing about this mascot. It's the head of the mascot, but it's the body of some sort of hulked up rock type figure. What's that boulder character? Is it called Thing?

The character in the Fantastic Four or whatever? Is it Thing? It's like that, but with a live dog's head on it. So just to give you an idea, he's got chains on. He's like Malibu's most wanted. And that's what's in by the Padres people is similar to this volunteer rap leading into the Alabama game. Hey, I told y'all I was going to lay down some smoke. I told y'all I was gonna lay down some heat. Yeah, this is kinda like a little bit of preheat.

But in reality, I just want them Bama fans to take a seat. Yeah, you know them dog fans too? Man, get the f*** out of my mentions. Why? We ain't done with you yet. Your time's coming. But right now,

this is what this is about. BF, that's why I hear Bama, your time's coming. But right now, this is what this is about. BFF Swag here, Bambi, your time has come to rest in peace. You're going to get all the smoke after Saturday. You will rest in peace with the real OG. Pop, smoke, rest in peace, G. Saturday, you're going to witness history because we thirsty, we coming to beat that fat elephant, ow, sorry, but we have the real OG, ow, aka, ow, Wilson, hey, dog fans, get out my mansion, in the end, your time ain't get to smoke, because you're gonna choke, we coming for the cut, so soon, we will take your soul, we will drag that ass like we used to in the past. Don't be coming at me or you will get the smoke. I don't fold.

Y'all the ones who bark like a female dog or a bitch. Soon you, we will hit that switch. Lay your ass in a ditch. Now, sit your ass down, you clowns, because soon we coming to your town. Hey. Man, get the f*** out of my mansions. I also like how he has to say female dog in the rap, but he will drop the F-bomb. Hey. I also like how he has to say female dog in the rap, but he will drop the F-bomb. Now, it's also maybe he just said that because of the rhyme and that's what he wanted to do.

But anyway, see, that's a fan song right there. That is a fan rap. And it is not great. But the fans somehow kind of rallied around that here and this guy ended up on college game day. I don't know that these dudes are going to end up in some sort of national spotlight on television. That's what's in. And I think the part that's the worst about it, I think,

because again, the lyrics themselves are not terrible. Again, like they're fine. It's hokey fan crap. I've heard a lot of hokey fan crap from fan bases everywhere. I've heard it from Philadelphia. I've heard it from Houston. I've heard it from St. Louis. My dad's written some hokey fan crap in St. Louis, right? I've heard it all. But it's just the delivery. Like, obviously, they're trying tolection and the down, like the way the inflection works. That's what's in. I think that's the part that really is the soul crusher of it all. That's what's in. I think that's where you go, you're losing me.

You're losing me, guys. It's truly awful. And I'm all about the fan wacky songs. I'm all for it. I'm a fan wacky song guy. That's who I am and who I've always been. At my core, I am a wacky fan song dude. But the issue we're running into here is that this one is just terrible. So here's what I would ask of the Phillies this is for the San Diego people please put the Padres on the shelf

and then kill yourself that's what's in my message for them hold on let me try this put your jerseys on the shelf and kill yourself that's what's in okay that's okay I got that that's a solid one jerseys on the shelf and kill yourself. That's what's in.

Okay, that's okay. I got that. That's a solid one. All right, here we go. Let's see. Take off all the brown and then go drown. That's what's in. Okay, that's a solid one too.

I can get down with that. Philly's gonna crush, get hit by a bus. That's what's in. Boy, I can do this. I can be lame too. Actually, you know what? I can kind of see why people do this. I'm kind of enjoying this.

Okay, I've got to stop. I'm done. I am done. I'm done talking about the that's what's in, guys, and I am done doing stupid puns about it and remakes. I'm done. I'm done. I'm done talking about the That's What's In, guys, and I'm done doing stupid puns about it and remakes. I'm done. I'm done. The Phillies are the pick. Now go eat dick. That's what's in. I'm done. Finished.

That's it. I am finished. I am done doing wacky lame hokey stuff I must go I've got other things to do the Phillies gonna win put balls on your chin that's what's in I'm done I'm finished I swear I am done
