Episode Date: April 28, 2025

Les Bowen is a sports writer in Philly. Well, sort of. He used to write for the paper and now writes for some blog. Cool. Anywho, Les is an old, white Liberal. There's nothing really wrong with that. But, Les is not happy with Saquon Barkley because the Eagles Running Back golfed with Donald Trump...GASP. While explaining why Saquon's outing with the President was so egregious, Les did an impressive job of "Whitesplaining" the situation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Here's a fun story today, so let's see here. Headline reads, Saquon Barkley responds to backlash after visit with President Trump. Many fans didn't approve of the Eagle star hanging with the President of the United States. Before I even know what he said or anything, I will say this. If I were Saquon Barkley, I would look at these people and say, hey, I'm going to go out and put up 2,000 all-purpose shards next year and help you win a Super Bowl. If I want to golf with the fucking president, I will. Go fuck yourselves.

And if you don't like it, let somebody else run the fucking football for you. Let people live their fucking lives, man. You fucking internet losers. Let people live their lives. People on the internet are the worst because many of them are absolute losers. They have nothing going on. They have nothing that they're going to do in life. They're not going to advance in life. They're not going to become anything. They're just going to sit around and bitch on the internet when they're at their menial, pointless jobs. They're a little nine tofiver sitting there playing fucking snake on their phone

what year is this playing snake on their phone and they're and they're tweeting away about bullshit and they don't know what it's like to be anything they'll never know what it's like to even come close to being anything and the closest they can become to relevant is having some celebrity retweet them on social media people are losers losers. And at some point, you realize that you sound fucking ridiculous going after Saquon Barkley for playing golf with the president. Again, I have not read what he said. I have not read what the comments are. I've seen one from a Philly media guy that I'll read you in a second that is just spectacular as it relates to this. But if the fucking dude wants to go to the White House, go to the White House. If he wants to play golf with Trump, play golf with Trump. Just remember,

when you guys sit around and lose now in these elections constantly and you're wondering why, it's because you're psychos. You are absolute psychos. This is coming from someone who's neutral in this. I didn't vote for anybody and I don't label myself right wing, left wing, Republican, Democrat. I don't give a shit. But the reason why you're going to continue to lose this shit is because this is the kind of shit you get angry over.

Oh, he went into the White House with the president. Oh my God, let's go to the internet and shit on like the greatest player the Eagles have ever had. We got a dude here that is out here, 2,000 all-purpose yards. Dude's a fucking beast. You win a Super Bowl with him, he puts on for you. And what do you do?

You dump on him because of who he chooses to play golf with. Oh, well, the guy could have gone out there and been accused of raping six people. You defend him to the fucking hilt if a story came out and it's like well Saquon Barkley is accused of raping 11 women and a horse you'd be out there that's just liberal that's the media that's the media that's the NFL trying to tear us down that's what's happening here he's trying they're trying to destroy the birds and we're not going to let it happen fuck them women women. Fuck them all. They're liars anyway. They're all cowboys fans, Bo. Like that's what you people would do. But because the guy played golf with Trump, I don't know, bro. That ain't the play, bro. I don't know, man. I don't know. Hey, Saquon Barkley was accused of dismembering 11 hookers last night and fucking a feral hog. Ah, it's just

the media lying. That's what the media does. The media tries to tear down a beautiful black man is what the media is trying to do. We got a beautiful black man here. He's a beautiful black man who's out there putting on for this city and the media doesn't like it because the media is all cowboys fans and you know it headline trump and saquon barkley plague off and saquon says i had a good time doing it you know saquon's married to a white woman right he's probably maga fuck him it's fucking spectacular like these people are morons god it's beautiful we live in the dumbest fucking time ever all access to anything you could ever possibly want in terms of information and you don't want it because you're fucking lazy and stupid let me play a couple commercials i'll let you know what Saquon Barkley had to say about playing golf with Donald Trump.

And then, dude, when I tell you that it was the ultimate comment from a Philadelphia media member about this, it is so great. It is spectacular. It is beautiful. And I'll have that for you, too.

That situation has changed over the past 24 hours when fans learned that the AP Offensive Player of the Year spent part of his Sunday with President Trump at his golf course, Trump National, at Bedminster in New Jersey before flying back to Washington, D.C. with the president on Marine One. Barkley's visit with the president drew quite a bit of backlash from people across social media who aren't Trump supporters. No shit. Despite Barkley never outwardly supporting Trump or any

political candidate during his playing career, detractors attacked his character. This morning, Barkley reacted on X. LOL, some people are really upset because I played golf and flew to the White House with the president in all caps. Maybe I just respect the office. Not a hard concept to understand. Just golfed with Obama not long ago and look forward to finishing my round with Trump. Now, get out of my mentions with all this politics and have an amazing day. Barkley and the rest of the Eagles will visit President Trump at the White House later today. Oh, God.

Mike Missanelli's going to melt down, Bo. Oh, Bo! God, I love it. You people are psychos. And just like the people who would bitch when some rando didn't want to go visit Obama. Who's the goalie? Was there a goalie from the Bruins

that didn't want to go to the White House because he didn't like Obama and it was this big federal case. And then in that one, all the white folks, all the right-wing people were like, he has a right to do what he wants. And now those same people are like, respect the office, motherfucker.

It's a cycle. It's all bullshit. You're all full of shit everywhere. This isn't hard. Oh, God, this is gorgeous. What a gorgeous story though. The best thing that comes out of stories like this though, is that you get liberal people, white people, white liberal men usually. And somehow white liberal men, they are the most elitist and deep down racist people. The liberal older white men, they are the greatest.

Because on the outside, you're not supposed to think that they're like the elitist and like the racist, but they are, they are. Like if you go down south and like you got some like, you know, old right-wing dude sitting on his porch, like, you know, whittling wood, buddy, then you're probably like, I know what this guy probably thinks of shit, but the thing that makes them sort of evil, by them I mean like guys like, you know, whittling wood, buddy. Then you're probably like, I know what this guy probably thinks of shit. But the thing that makes them sort of evil, by them I mean like guys like, you know, these media people, is they like to carry themselves as someone who's down and kind of knows, you know, understands. But deep down, they are not only, what's the word I'm looking for?

They're the people that believe they're smarter than everyone and they know what's right for everyone. And then they say things that come out so racist and offensive that it reveals their true colors and their true colors are they have what you call white savior syndrome. Like if you ever, that may not be the actual name, but they're white saviors. And it's the same thing you see in movies. You want to see all the movies that like get the best reviews historically are movies where like there's black folks and they're in a bad situation. It's like the sixties and there's racism and people are throwing bricks and shit through the windows of houses and spray painting the N word on cars and shit. And the black folks are about to give up. But then there's like that one white dude who's like, nope, I'm not gonna let you give up on my watch. And like that white dude is the hero of the movie.

So the whole movie is about black people getting treated like shit. And then there's one white dude and that white dude comes in and he's the white savior. Or like whenever like the basketball coach is the white guy in the movie of the inner city or dangerous minds. Go watch Dangerous Minds. The white savior in that movie is the inner city or ah dangerous minds go watch dangerous minds the white savior

in that movie is michelle pfeiffer she is the white hero the white savior like it's a whole concept it's like go go google the idea of the white savior in movies it's everywhere and those movies usually get the best reviews because somehow like the black folks helped turn the white guy into like less of a racist person and he helped the white people see that the black people aren't all that bad. It's the white savior, right? And that is what the white dude comes in oh like hardball right movie hardball with keanu reeves he's like the drunk gambling guy who's like forced into coaching the little league team the kakumbas or whatever the fuck they were called and like it's all these little black kids from uh inner city projects of chicago and they listen to fucking big papa while they play baseball he's like, these fucking kids suck.

And then by the end of it, they taught him about life. And they taught him to love and not be a fucking degenerate anymore. And then, of course, spoiler alert, the NG baby gets shot and he has to go speak at the funeral. But he's the white savior, right? That's how liberals all view themselves. White liberal men, like they open the door and they're like, today I'm going to help save a black man who doesn't even know he needs save. But I do because I'm educated and I'm an old liberal white man and I'm going to help you out. name of Les Bowen, who used to write, I believe, for the Philadelphia Inquirer. And I think now, what does he write for now? Les Bowen, shameless dad joke inflictor,

recovering Southerner. Oh no. Oh, you know, he's legit. I'm a recovering Southerner. Oh, you're a sanctimonious fuck face. God, you're horrible. I'm a recovering Southerner oh you're a sanctimonious fuck face god you're horrible i'm a recovering southerner just so you guys know i spent probably a good portion of my life in the south but now i'm up here in philadelphia and i'm very progressive and i know what's right for all you black folks so come on and read my shit so les bowen who used to cover the Eagles for the Philadelphia Daily News and the Inquirer, is now writing for Philly Sports. Super duper. No one watches or reads that shit. But congratulations.

I might have more listeners than Philly Sports. But congratulations, Les Bowen. You're awesome. Also, I appreciate that you feel good about yourself even though you wrote for the Philadelphia Daily News, which is basically the national inquirer of local newspapers. It's a rag, but congratulations. You're a beautiful man, and you're a recovering Southerner, and I'm happy for you. So, Les Bowen. I mean, if you go through his thing, it's just nothing but like he retweets some guy named, let's see, who's a Shaq Mitchell.

He retweets him, quote, you should respect the office no matter who is in it. Coming from folks who posted nooses while Obama was in office and constantly misgendered his wife. Okay. And then Les Bowen retweets that and he's like, amen, brother. I'm a recovering Southerner and I'm down with the cause. Of course, that's a black guy who's educated, according to Les Bowen, because he agrees with him. So when that man posts, Les Bowen is like, yep, that black man gets it. He must be educated. How? Oh, boy. He also retweeted, boy, my man. Oh, boy. I guarantee you like Les bowen feels like the kind of guy that's

desperate to watch his wife being he wants to be cuckolded he is a cuck mel kuyper called nfl teams clueless and said the fall of shadur sanders was disgusting that was retweeted by les oh and he reviews eagles draft picks on the Anthony Gargano show. Boy. He also retweets Clarence Hill, who says, must be nice to play golf and not care about what's happening in the country and the world around you. Illegal deportations, black jobs, defunding programs for minorities. Have an amazing day.

Oh, shit. And Les Bowen retweets that. He's like, you tell him, Clarence. Go get him, Clarence. And speaking of Clarence, the best member of the E Street band, Clarence Clemons. Come on now. This guy fucking rules. But no, but here's the best.

The best. Saquon Barkley says, some of y'all are really upset because I played golf and flew to the White House with the president. Les Bowen quote tweets this. This is the ultimate white savior. Deep down, they're actually racist. Deep down, they actually think they're much smarter than you. Like that's the worst trait about liberals is liberals think that they are smarter than everyone and they know what's right for everyone.

And they're assholes about that. But anyway, not to say that other people don't feel that way too, but the liberals are the worst about it. But anyway, Saquon is a good person and a wonderful player. Had to get that one out of the way just so they know. It's tricky when people in sports with huge platforms and good intentions blunder into stuff they don't fully grasp. This is Reggie White at the Wisconsin legislature level cluelessness.

Not a bad guy, but out of his depth. So what Les Bowen, super duper educated writer for Philly sports website wants you to know is that Saquon Barkley by golfing and meeting Donald Trump has confirmed that he is completely uneducated and stupid. That's right. I, Les Bowen, white fellow from phillysports.com. Let me tell you something. You're not very educated. descending. When white liberal guy has a black person who maybe thinks for himself or doesn't fall in line with whatever he believes a black guy should feel, I guess, because I see all the

shit that he retweets. So I know how he thinks a black guy should feel about shit. But then Saquon Barkley says something and he goes, you're out of your depth. So Clarence Hill is not out of his depth and Shaq, whomever is not out of his depth and Shaq whomever is not out of his depth anybody who agrees or that Les Bowen agrees with is completely within his depth he knows what he's doing but Saquon Barkley says I went to play golf with the president and all of a sudden he is out of his depth here's what I would double down if I were Saquon Barkley he'll probably apologize because that's how all this shit has to go but if I were Saquon Barkley. He'll probably apologize because that's how all this shit has to go. But if I were Saquon Barkley, I'd double down and say, all right, let me ask you this. All you people bitching at me in Philadelphia today, like I wish somebody would do this. They

won't, but it'd be great. I just put up 2000 all purpose yards and helped you win a fucking Super Bowl, right? All right. Let me ask you a question. Would you, if I told you that I voted for Trump, which I don't know if he did or didn't, but let's say he did. I don't know if he did or didn't. Let's just say for the sake of this story, he says this. If I said I voted for Trump, would you not want me to be on the team anymore? Answer that fucking question. These people are insane.

Insane. I guarantee you the comments on his post are fucking vile. I don't even want to like i guarantee you the comments on his post are fucking vile i don't even want to see it oh boy that's fucking bonkers too like i don't know why i keep saying everything's bonkers that's my new thing but just sitting there looking at like imagine being a white guy that rides in there. Hey, fellas, I'm sorry. Hey, black guy who feels away.

You're out of your depth. And I know this cause I'm a recovering Southerner. What a fucking tool. If I were, dude, if I were Saquon Barkley, I quit. I'd be like, all right,

I'm done playing football. You guys fucking hate me. I don't need this. I want a Superbowl. I'm rich. I'm happy. See you fucking later. We need more people to do shit like that. Instead of like bending the knee and being like, I'm so sorry that I went out and did something that the Internet disapproves of.

While a bunch of people are sitting there pulling their puds at their fucking nine to fiver. And I'm sitting here out here playing with the fucking president. Fuck you. Oh, God. Of course, the same people saying that he's unrelatable are the ones that are acting like deon fucking sanders kid is somehow like some great out the mud story like they're like people are morons it's fascinating like you are so out of touch hold on let me support my man shadur sand Sanders who's had to endure so much like prank phone calls and having a rich dad. His life is difficult. Oh, shit.

Life is good. This is fun. I like it. More to come.
