(03:00):
delis throughout Like my childhood, Yes, and a lot of
my experiences was a night out with my grandparents was
we went, we got some sandwiches from the deli and
then we sat in a park bench and just ate
and it was like experience like you wouldn't imagine it,
just like you didn't take it. That was our build
up for our day. Yeah. So the minute I walked

(03:22):
in here, it just the smell. The smell gave back
so many memories. Just the freshness of the food, the
quantity of the food is what's scaring me. That's a lot.
That's why I did not eat all day.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
That's only a couple appetizers we're gonna have. We're gonna
have a lot more of.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Your what's your go to? Now?

Speaker 3 (03:42):
If if we're taking a look at the kidd's room menu,
you know you're walking in you know nothing, right, all
you have with you are your memories of Brooklyn, right,
and your grandparents on the.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Bench and anything turkey, anything t yeah, you know, you know,

Speaker 3 (04:01):
It's just there's so much to choose from. There's so
much to choose from. I can't wait. I can't wait
to try it all. Yeah, I can't wait to try
it all. Yes, it's awesome, and it's actually it's right
near the mall, which is great too.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
The location is proper.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
So if you're on seventy six, stuck on seventy six
east or west, you know, going somewhere, and you know
there's a traffic delay, which ninety nine point nine times,
you know, on any given day, at any given time,
there will be one on seventy six.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
You get off at that exit and you.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
And you come right here to the Kippit's room and
you eat their food and there's plenty of space, there's
plenty to drink.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
There's the pickle bar.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
I mean, it's going to be a really, really fantastic
night here tonight for the grand opening.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
People are commenting that they love you, oh, thank you so,
and they're also saying, eat up powers. I will nick,
you know, fashionably late. Yes, we had you know, when
you're live, you never know what to expect. Technical difference.
We do appreciate it all though. Yeah, it's better late
than never, exactly exactly like we're here, like, deal with it.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yes, we're here, we're here, We're ready to go. The
fills are on the telly, which I know, I know.
You know what's funny, Mike, is I think about you know,
when you and I first met.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
When I started, iheard, yes a couple of months ago. Well, no,
we met before that. No, I know, I'm just teasing.
It's I love like when people remember when they first met.
Oh yeah, that's why I was like, oh that's nice.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
Well, you know, I have this terrible provincial habit where
I just assume everybody is a Philadelphia sports.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
And that's not the case.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
And I had to and I yes, and I had
to learn the hard way that that is that was
not the case for you.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
So I think it's interesting now that you and I are.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
Sitting here in the kibbits room about to share some
what do we got there?

Speaker 2 (05:45):
We got the well we're going to share it.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yeah, rolls, I got the krepla, I got We've got
tons of food. But as we're about to share that,
I'm sitting here thinking it's so funny that we're about
to talk about Phillies Mets.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
I know, I know, yeah, yeah, it's gonna.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
Because it's like it's like we met and I was like,
oh the sky's not be a sports.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Fan, and man, it was. It was so funny because
like you were like adjacent to me, like you were
here and I was like over there, and like as
soon as you found out it was a Mets fan,
it was like your neck broke, Like you just stopped
looking like I was talking and you were just like.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Cause you know, I like to think that I can
spot a Mets fan from from a little from.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
You know, ways away. But you have, you've you've had
a couple of good years, as have we. You know,
it's it hasn't been the best for humbled.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
Yes, I think you know, the Phillies have humbled as
well both teams. I mean, you look at the NL
East as we're heating up. See, now is the time
where I get into it and I and I really
start to look at what the team's doing. Like it's
this middle of June as we head into the All
Star break. Yeah, kind of crunched down and see where
we're at.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
With both teams. Yes, I mean, look, we could be
all knotted up at the end of this weekend, right
It's so it's kind of crazy to it's.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
Crazy, and I know, and I know some people are,
especially in Philadelphia, are kind of not upset, but you know,
they're annoyed that the Mets are good.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
But you know, I think it's good. It's it's great
to finally have some competition and it's not even that
like how many times, at least in our childhoods, like
the Braves just ran with it, like they won and
didn't you know they got one World Series out of
like thirty playoff apparently. Yes, literally, it's insane. Yeah, So
like it's great to see like our teams actually at

(07:29):
the forefront of this. I'm kind of having the Braves
right now in the rearview mirror. Yeah, it's still early
they could figure it out some for some reason. They're
one of those teams that you know, players like to
give them discounts to join them. They get these wild trades.
Everything just turns out to work in Atlanta. So I'm
not gonna I'm not gonna count them out, especially after

(07:51):
what happened with the Mets last time. Oh yeah, well
that's right, it's gonna bring that up. I'll let you
get there. So but but we're like around that time
where Grimace showed up, Yes, the Mets got Yeah, so
that happened like a week ago, a year ago. Okay,
Grimma showed up, but ago his birthday, Yeah, right before
the weekend. Wow, who knew? Who knew that that was

(08:12):
gonna kick off?

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Certainly not us here in Philadelphia, especially last year with
the way the Phillies started, we kind of thought that
they were just going to be a shoe in. Yeah,
and then all of a sudden and of August rolls around.
As we're creeping towards September, We're like.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
What what dude? The funniest thing is to like dip
load just throughout the first pitch, and now the Phillies
are hot, you know, could that be your Grimace. You're
still a playoff team.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
You know what's funny you bring up Grimace. I was
driving the other day and what comes on the radio
but dancing on my own?

Speaker 2 (08:43):
You remember that song?

Speaker 3 (08:45):
I mean, how how could anybody who's is particularly in
the Delaware Valley forget about that song? But I was
thinking to myself, I don't think the Phillies have a
song right now either, and.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Do they bring it? Mm?

Speaker 3 (08:59):
I have.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
I have a couple of alternates, but that song was something.
It was, it really was. There was magic in that Yeah,
in that team and that song. Everything. What's the celebrations
meet the Mets, meet the Mets. They don't have like,
oh my god that But now he's with the Padres.
But he a fan gave him like a printed oh

(09:23):
my God sign Andres colors and he told him to
get rid of it. He's like, that's for the Mets,
that's for j Max customers who created that sign. He's like,
that will forever be a Mets thing. Yeah, yeah, So yeah,
he's kept he's kept his word on that, even when
fans give him a sign, because a video went viral
of him holding the sign and the way they did

(09:44):
it was kind of like you ever see the homeless
things or the guys like outside and they're like, hey
you want free food, Yeah, sure, hold my broom, and
like they then they showed him reverse. So that's what
people were doing with the sign, making it look like
he brought it to the party and yeah, and then
he was giving it away. Yeah. So like even Met
fans were like, oh, jose traded, uh portrayed us, like

(10:04):
he said that was ourd thing, like blah blah blah.
But the Mets now they're doing this thing with every
time they have a walk off and they put like
a bucket on their hat, double bubble bucket. And then
also they have this thing where they're kind of stolen
from the Phillies where they throw throw the water oh yeah,
but they hold on to the to the reporter and they.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
And the interest where like the Phillies, I used to
cringe because they were breaking three hundred dollars headphones every
time they did it, like and then you couldn't hear
it's all water logged.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Yeah, that's a that's a that's a network problem.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
That's so funny. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
One of my one of my friends, she's a reporter
for the Phillies, so I know that she's been in
the midst of that a couple of times. And it's wild.
It is absolutely wild.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
They're they're wild. I mean both teams are hot right now,
you know, I I I want to get into the
news like Castianos like always finds ways to just have
us talking about them, whether it's a tragedy and it's
on them around right, some of his conversations like off
you know, being interviewed by even fans or whatever. His
takes on baseball and things to make the game better.

(11:09):
The owners should be challenged, he said one day, kind
of like the players are, like, if you're not performing,
you could lose your team. Like he likes those ideas.
So he's always a creative, thoughtful. He's very speaks his mind.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Yes, he's very, very very And I don't like the
word out spoken because I just don't think that that's
a good word in general.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
I think if you have.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Something to say, you know you should you should say,
especially when you're a contributor to an organization like the Phillies. Right.
It's like we're kind of witnessing now, in particular with
the injuries that We've been dealing with.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
The fallout of you know, ownership decisions and contract decisions.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
And you know, lack of cultivation of certain aspects of
the team, such.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
As the bullpen. Are we getting served time? Perfect?

Speaker 3 (11:53):
Because I was just talking just about to talk about
the Phillies bullpen.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
So this is great, Yes, it is, Thank you, Jill.
This is I'm going to Oh my goodness, look at these.

Speaker 5 (12:11):
You need to have them?

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Yes, we do.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
I'm gonna move this. We'll talk amongst ourselves. Okay, all right,
just need some silverware.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
I'm going full egg roll that looks they look and
see this on look insane, Look.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
At these Look at this portion these portions. Wow, and
these are the appetizers. So let's go over what we got.
I'm going to read it so I have everything correct, right, okay, So.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
Right here we have the where are they? The Uben
egg rolls? You see them? Yeah, you're right, Ruben egg rolls.
And then we have the fried krepla. Am I saying
that right? I think so preplock lack fried with fried onions.
I was saying them right, Krepla.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
Right, Okay, I just want to make sure with fried onions,
gravy mustard and Russian dressing, like stop it, okay, And
then we have the loaded potato Lockees. They have sour cream, bacon, cheddar,
and child's.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Yes, the bacon is not kosher. Are those plates supposed
to be for us? They might? They might thank you,
thank you, we're working, thank you. Oh this is amazing.
So yes, I'm really really excited to try this food.
And then yeah, fork knife, we'll get it. I'm excited. Sorry, No, Like,

(13:36):
look like I with Cassie Ono's like, you're that's the
type of player, like I want him to be his
authentic self, like his passion is the reason why he's
a professional athlete. But yeah, like it he had to
have said something really bad.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
Oh, I mean I have to wonder, Like, I mean,
the Phillies are playing the Marlins tonight, right, so is
is taking him out of the line out tonight gonna really.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Hurt the team? No?

Speaker 3 (14:05):
No, right, However, Like I agree, what he must have
said must have been really bad. And what I want
to know is who he was talking about that it
was so offensive that they were like, no, you're.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Sitting Yeah, because was it was? It was? It might
have been the bat boy? Was it that boy, you
never know? No, yeah, could baby? Was it? Was it
a teammate? Was it? Yeah? Yeah? Right?

Speaker 3 (14:28):
Because would they? I mean, I guess in your opinion,
do you think that they would sit him out tonight
if he said this to a teammate?

Speaker 2 (14:35):
No?

Speaker 3 (14:36):
No, No, Like players bicker like that, you know, that's
just what they do.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
I think that's like kind of like like I don't
know how you could relate this, like like chain of
command stuff, like there's certain things you can and can't say. Yeah, players,
I feel like they could say whatever they want to
each other, right yeah, Whereas like if you're talking to
a coach who's like probably in his sixties, just not
making nearly as much money as you, like, you got

(15:00):
to be respectful.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
Right yeah, yeah, because it was deemed inappropriate inappropriate comments.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Although look, I love that it didn't weak out. I
love that it didn't wak out either.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
But what I also love is I do I do
love myself a little like mid season like shake up,
like like the drama, you know what I mean. For
there's a part of me that looks at something like that,
you know, and and things that at least there's some
passion and intensity where for the Phillies a couple of
weeks ago, were we weren't feeling too good. Yeah right,

(15:32):
it was a little scary there. But I don't really
ride the waves of baseball season anymore. I've been saying
this over and over again. I don't do it because
I knew, you know what, we've what five of our
last six now, so it's like one of those things.
It's you gotta ride the wave, gota ride the wave. Yeah,
and now look how we're doing in Miami right now.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah, I can't help.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
That.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
It's such a I don't know. I would like to go,
but yeah, it just it looks like it's in like
a greenhouse, yeah, green or like somebody's apartments. This apartment
piling like like video games where like you played in
your living room or whatever. Yes, I don't know. I
thank god they got rid of that structure. Yeah, weird

(16:12):
home run thing. Oh yeah, like that was tacky. But
I hate into where baseball Like, I hate when it
looks like you can't tell if it's night game or
a day game. Yeah they all look the same. Yeah,
Like I like to know if I'm watching a game
at wanted one pm. Yeah, the shadows start coming out
around four, Like, I like that stuff.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
So, yeah, indoor baseball kind of it doesn't hit the
same way.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
No, well, because then you ball doesn't carry.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
The ball doesn't carry. You can't factor in those things.
And I also think that that's why I love baseball
so much, is you know, weather can factor in and
it depends on your execution.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
No.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yeah, you could have like four hundred feet.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
I'm like, you know, Mike, I'm like, make it as
difficult as possible for them to hit the ball.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Then we'll see who the champions are.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Love it?

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Love it? Should we try some of this food? Yeah,
I'm excited. I'm excited too. All right, I'm going for
my krepla. Here we go.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
I'm gonna cut into it right now. This is awesome
and it's really it's starting to fill up here. Look,
there's families in here. Everybody's ordering their food. Now we're now.
If you walk into the Kibbots room, you will come in.
There's a parking lot you can park across the street.
There's a front entrance, and then you come in and
then there's this one din this giant dining room. You'll
see the pickle bar on the right hand side. And

(17:23):
the back is the deli where they have all their
meats and desserts. And then if you come to your left,
that's where you'll see us broadcasting from here in the
Kibot's room and kop we're on the side. There's another
full dining room. Like I said, this place can fit
two hundred and fifty people.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
That's insane.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
You can.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
They have a private room too, and.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
A private room they do private events. I know that
they're going to offer catering, and there's there's just you know,
a lot, a lot to be done. I'm trying to
stall as I'm trying to cut this because I'm.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
It's like an explosion in your mouth. Flavor all right, ready, one, two, three,
Here I go on the real mm hmmm mm hmm.
It's good to eat while broadcasting.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
Yes, yes, that was in broadcasting when I want to
make sure you stuff your face at any given opportunity.
And then and then talking to the microphone. Actually, you
know what, that should have been the lesson, but it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
It should have been the lesson, but it wasn't. I
love it. I love it. Good ASMR for anybody tuning
in podcast form. It's just like she went away dinner time.
Powers You're done right, shout out to the Kibbets room. Diego. Heckyay,
let's go, dude. That food was unreal and it just started.

(18:42):
It just started our apps guys, Like that's the problem. Like,
I know, you come here, you come in on a Monday,
you got food for the rest of a week, ordering
one sandwich. Tho you know they came. They Kibbets came
over to the iHeart Studios last week with just sandwiches
and I watched my buddy Kevin eat it three and

(19:02):
a half days in a row. But really, yeah, that's
how much meat was on there. Wow. I was like,
you could literally just take sandwich bags and have lunch
meat for your entire like family.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
But you know what that's Honestly, when I go out
to eat now and in this day and.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Age, things are quite very expensive. Things are quite expensive.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
And yeah, you know you go somewhere there and right now,
I feel like a standard sandwich is like a standard
sandwich probably starts with like seventeen dollars right anywhere, yep, anywhere.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah, And I'm like, if I'm maying seventeen dollars for
a sandwich. I want, I want to feel like I'm
getting my seventeen dollars. Amen.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
Right then, for real, it's it's quality and it's I
think that's what we're getting here for sure.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Yeah. And the other thing is the worst thing in
the world now that food is so expensive. If you
do forget your leftovers, you like beat yourself up too.
And I'm talking about it stuff mouth. And most of
the time those said leftovers get thrown out five days
later when you forg got them in the fridge. But
if you leave them there, it's like the fomo hits hard.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
And I'm the plean of that too. Well, you saw
what you saw my day today?

Speaker 2 (20:08):
Oh man. It was I lost my keys.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
If my laptop this morning, and that I couldn't find
my keys before we came here.

It was great. When you were like, I gotta get
my laptop out of the car, I was like, that
laptop's been haunting you all day. It's the third it's
the third thing. Today.

Speaker 3 (20:22):

Comes with a side of inks. It always comes with
the side of I'm wondering.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
What I should put on it. So obviously it's going
to be eggs. But then I have to you know, assembrote.
That's what I gotta decide. I gotta decide, and I
really need to think about it, because if it's my name,

Speaker 2 (21:44):
I got to talk to my dad, you know, this
is like a family things. It's a big deal. My

Some cheese, so good, like a Western type. Ama.

Speaker 3 (22:10):
Yeah, yeah, it's just eggs, you know, salted green peppers,
maybe some fried onions, and some cheese.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
So maybe we'll work. We'll work. We'll work with that.
But how was your Father's day? What did you do? Amazing?
I went to wild Wood. We had that's right, beach
tour stop. I saw all the pictures at the inlet
with Buster. Peyton made why I can't say her radio
debut because she's always on anytime there's a microphone, so yes,
but you know, she did a segment with Buster, but

(22:40):
she was eating funions and she refused to stop eating them.
And it's the most hilarious post I've ever posted, and
Buster rolled with it. Yeah, she literally would not stop eating,
just crunching like you would think, like maybe I should
take a break. And it's funny because she is that
type of person. You don't interrupt her snack break. We're
at basketball practice and was supposed to end at eight

(23:02):
and she turned around and it was like eight ten
and we're still scrimmaging and she just walks off the
court and sits down and the coach is like, yo,
what are you doing. She's like you had me till
eights eight? Is that what she said? She all good
for her. The coach was looking after my own house.
She's like overtimes extra one. She's just like, I'm done.

(23:22):
You said eight o'clock. Eight o'clock it is. Then it's like, yo,
you got to talk to her. I was like, well
I will Like, I was like, don't tell her and
ends at eight. I was gonna say, I mean that
to her. Yeah. To her defense, it was done at
eight o'clock.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
Though, she she allotted her time and her energy.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
She gets that from her mom because at an early age,
like the place we worked at was at theme park,
and they found a loophole that they didn't have to
pay us time and a half for overtime. Okay, so
she refused to work past forty hours. Ah, so she
would like literally walk off the ride that she was
working and just leave if she's forty. Oh yes, that's

(23:58):
definitely where she definitely does.

Speaker 5 (23:59):
That's good for her.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Good for her. It's funny.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
I love that. That's so fun Yeah. I went, I
went to go see my dad. My stepmother made dinner.
We have meat loaf. It was terrific, best meat loaf
she's made in years. Shout out to my stepmother Darling

Speaker 3 (24:45):
I'm going to be heading out down on my own
little stop, yeah with Hanks, with Hanks Corvet Beverages. I

Speaker 3 (25:18):
That's awesome, Hanks natural Sodo zero sugar, zero calories. Coming
to a short point near you and the Kippets room,
which is where we are at today eating all this
delicious food.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Oh how did the Marlins get up? Did you see that?

Speaker 6 (25:34):
No?

Speaker 2 (25:35):
I didn't. Yeah, I was infatuated with my food. You know,
don't like that. I gotta try some potato.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Yeah, you gotta try one of these. I'm gonna try
one of the ugg rolls too.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
Yeah. This is fantastic, fantastic, all about you. Like I
find things I love, yes, and then I only eat
those things. Oh yeah, I do the same I do
the same exact thing.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
Yeah, but I one of my New Year's resolutions this
year I had too, Okay, one was to actually order
things that I don't normally order. And I'm not somebody
who won't try food like I. You know, I said
to Jess today, I said, whatever you guys want me
to try, like, I'm here for it.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
You know, I'm just laughing. Number two would be funny
if it was like shut things out of your life.
That is that? What like if you were like one
try new things, and then the next one was the
boler opposite, like shut it down. Oh well yeah, well dude.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
It was new food. Try new food. Like if I
go to somewhere where I always get the same thing.
For instance, like I always ordered Linguinian clams anywhere I go.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
If it's on the menu, that's what I'm getting.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
But I'm like, no, You've eaten Linguinian clams sixty five
million times, Like that's my grandmother's signature.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Gist.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
I make it now. I make it all the time.
So when I go out, I'm like, no, get something else.
My second my second New Year's resolution was to watch
Game of Thrones in its entirety, Okay, which I haven't done.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
In the history of Game of Thrones.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
I've seen the final episode, right, I've seen a lot
of the first season. Okay, It's just it's something and
I know that it's good and I know that once
I get into it, but I don't.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
It's something in the first season. I can't. I can't.
It doesn't like bring me in, so buster same thing.
So I would love to do like a pod where
I produce it and you guys watched Game of three
and then have like a live reaction.

Speaker 3 (27:23):
I think we need to because we could bite people
who haven't watched, who haven't watched.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
It to maybe have or like, you know, just rewatch. Yeah.
So the reason why I started watching was Francis Ellis
from Barstool. Yes, he was doing a piano song about it,
and it was like Game of Thrones, so we would
like play them and he'd create lyrics to this, to
the theme song, and it.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
Was literally I mean it was the most popular show
really the entire world.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yeah, so we were late to the party, but I
want to say like midway and I feel like that
was the best experience because we just had an insane
amount of episodes to watch and then having wait every Sunday.
That last season brutal.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
Yes, I know that was brutal, and I know people
were disappointed with the last episode, which again.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Is gonna be like Sopranos, like it's always.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
I was thinking that there's no what is one television
show that can you think of off the top of
your head where you've been like, wow, the last episode
did it justice? Because I didn't think about Seinfeld. People
were unhappy with the ending of Seinfeld. Yes, the Sopranos.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
I mean that. I think people still lose sleep over
that one. It's like, what happened to do? What do
you think happened?

Speaker 3 (28:37):
Well?

Speaker 2 (28:38):
It is longer here right, right, because I would love like,
like I like when actors and athletes like get a
little bit older and they become more available and you
get ask him questions like that, because I would have
loved his theory, I know, to hear his thoughts on it.
But I'm assuming you think you think I think they

(29:00):
took him out. I hope they didn't take out the
whole family, but I think he did definitely whacked. Yeah,
and I you know, maybe like a family member would
have taken on his role. Yeah, like it could have
been a rebirth. But I don't know, man. You know, look,
you never know. Well, what was the one that came
out on Netflix with his son in it? Yes? Right?
But something in New York? Right yeah? Gang.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
I won't say gang, that's the Gangs of New York,
but you know what I mean. So he did try
and do like a little reboot. But again and it
also like.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Stuff never works, no, yeah, never never get lightning in
a bottle twice.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
No, No, especially with something like The Sopranos or even
Game of Thrones, right, because if you.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Think about it, Spinoff didn't do like it's good, but
it's not.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
It's not Game of Thrones. My mother loved Game of
Thrones so much. She said to me, she goes, I
wish I would have known the name Deanaris what I
was pregnant with you.

Speaker 2 (29:49):
I'm like Denaris egging off. How about that? No, yeah,
so that was my other one. And again, eat eat food.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
I'm gonna eat all this food that we have here
today at the Kibbitt's room in King of Prussia where look,
people are piling in. These guys look hungry, don't they.
You guys hungry?

Speaker 2 (30:11):
Ah, they're hungry. It's it's the It's delicious, man. I
don't know how, you know, honestly, Like, I'm more worried
about not letting things go to waste. That was another thing,
coming from a family of six. Same. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
So, like my mother would say again speaking there are
children starving in countries, you better eat all your so
I will take most of this home. Trust me, I'll
eat this in the office tomorrow. Everybody will be smelling
it back in the office tomorrow. Good old Baliqan would
not far from here, by the way.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
So that was that was such a quick drive. Yeah,
not bad.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
Half hour from Balakan would about forty minutes, you know,
without traffic from a center city Philadelphia again, right near
the King of Prussian Mall, the Kibbitts room again.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Like I said, we've been talking about.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
But this menu is just stacked, un stacked on, stacked on, stacked.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
I will kind of know if the mascot has a sandwich.
Speaking to people that deserve a sand I want to
eat the mascot kibbi. Yeah, are you gonna come in
one day? Yes? You should.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
Look.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
He even has a little pickle in his hand and
then olive for his nose. That's adorable. I like pickles, olives.
I could eat all day long.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
All of the above, all the above, and they're all here. Yeah,
and then the desserts too. Are you gonna try a soup?

Speaker 2 (31:29):
I think so? Okay, what kind of super are you
gonna get?

Speaker 3 (31:31):
Look, they have like sixty five soups mosall chicken noodle,
split pea, vegetable, french onion.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Yo split peas. My my goat is its barley, michmash, mishosh,
all that available, Like normally it's like what's the soup
of the day, Yeah, and then one standard. No, They're like, yeah,
we'll have all. I'm a big, big, big soup gal. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
Look they have a soup flight. See, like that's for
somebody like that. That's yes, I'm definitely doing a soup flight.
Like that's for somebody like me who like can't a
I'm totally I'm very indecisive, very decisive, especially when when
the menu is like there's so many amazing options, so
like a suit flate Like that's a healthy balance for me.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
I love that. Yeah, so I'm gonna have to my
side which ones I want. My daughter is such a
soup head that she makes us. I like that heat
up soup. And they're a thermostat for school because like
when I was a kid, and maybe I did that, Yeah,
but I always loved when I had lunch money. These
kids hate it, they really, Yeah. Now it's like their

(32:34):
world is flipped upside down. The people who brown bag
their lunch now bring their own lunch, Like I guess
like they're they like the rich kids, and then the
ones that get lunch are like considered, like, oh, your
parents must not love you. What It's crazy, that is
upside down it. I would have loved some lunch money. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
My mom was like, here's a tomato sandwich, white bread.
Here's your nice slice of tomato with some mayonnaise on
white bread and.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
A little a little bag of chips. Yeah, blooney mayo
and like two white pizzas of white bread.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
Fan of a cheese sandwich though, I'm not gonna lie.
People make fun of me for that, but.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
I'll rock a cheese sandwich, right. We talked about this
with just last year at the nets Phillies game. You know,
I'll make a poor man's pizza at home. Yes, it's
like English muffin, like a little bit of tomato sauce
and like prolonged cheese and I'll rock that. That sounds actually,
that actually sounds good too. Yeah. I should open up
my own pier pizza joint next to this place, Sir,

(33:40):
I got an English muffin, Like, yeah, yeah, that's the
pizza because it's creating yeah, te porn, you know, speaking
of people that don't know like out of town terms
and stuff. When we were with the PGA for the
Truist Championship. Yeah, the girl Lauren woman Lauren from marketing.
They kept calling where so they were staying in King

(34:00):
of Prussia like all their hotels were, but all the
golfers and them kept calling it the cop, like yeah,
we're staying at the copy and we're like, we're like, no,
we don't call it that. That's weird, Like stop calling it. Yeah,
it didn't really, it's just kop. It's just I was like, yeah,
please please stop calling it the cop.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
Our new coworker, Andrew I noticed and we were talking
to him today.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
He's awesome.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
We were talking and I realized, I'm like, there's probably
a lot of terms that he's not familiar with. Yeah,
just like casual lingo because he's from South Carolina.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
Yeah, it's different. It's different the reverse. There's some things
he's saying. I'm like, oh, I have no idea what stuff.
I was like, all right, yeah cool, yeah, body language.
I'm like yeah, yeah, I'm just kidding.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
Well, he was talking about some sort of like Shirley
Temple and a can.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
So that sounded amazing. That did sound. Yeah, he sold
me on that. Yeah, Like I was like, let's go
to your house right now. Yeah, like I'll drive, yes,
twelve hours to get a can Chirley Temple. I was like, look,
go I would do it. No, it's a great addition
to our team. He's very exciting and it's cool to
see introduce people to the world of Philadelphia. So yeah,

(35:10):
I love it. Like for me, like I just I
don't know certain things. So I was like, I'm like,
oh my god, we gotta go ask Jeff for we
gotta go ask Matt because like I don't. I'm still
sixteen years in and I'm still new, you know what
I mean.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
Like, so somebody wants I don't know who the person
was said that after fifteen years in Philadelphia, you're considered
a lifer.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
Okay, so you're stuck here for the rest of your life.
I love that. I love Philly. I apologize about that,
Like it's it's so great. It's so funny. Like the
things you see in Philadelphia you could never see in
any other No, you never see it. I watched a
grown man eat horse poop like that. They never see
that anyway.

Speaker 3 (35:52):
Not our finest moment, but yeah, the Eagles won the
Super Bowl for the first time, so I get it, ye,
get it what I know. No, It's it's fun to
me though, because I do like to showcase all the
great things Philadelphia has to offer, not like the guy
eating the poop.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
I do think it got it got really awkward because
normally like Mets are adorable, Mets are like it's never
like when we were good, you guys, weren't we collapsed?
You guys won the World Series. Yeah, so it's like, ah,
the Mets are gonna collapse. It's cute, right last postseason
Game two, that was the first time and I'm not
I don't wear my colors. I say, I say this

(36:30):
all the time. I don't celebrate Red October, but I
respect it. Yeah, so I go in no colors, you know,
sometimes neutral colors that it's very reverent of. And but
it was like they had such the Philly fans after
Game two winning on their home turf and the way
they lost Game one, I guess they were. They were

(36:51):
extraly charged up at Xfinity Live after the game, and
it just it was kind of for me. I was like,
I wanted a Bart back. I was like, dude, and like,
so now I'm getting text from people telling me, uh,
the Mets will never win again. The series is over.
I was like, dude, we're tied one one. We took
one at your house, Like you're coming to our turf,
you're not going to sweep us.

Speaker 3 (37:11):
Also, you can't hit the baseball which is in the
playoffs in a bigger ball.

Speaker 2 (37:18):
Yeah, so we might actually win this. That's what you
should have said.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
I don't really see anybody get past first base here
in the series.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
So, uh, you know, it was It was cool to
see though, because it was the first time the Mets
and Phillies ever faced each other in the postseason, which
is remarkable. I can't think about.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
Some like I forget about that, and then you bring
that back up and that is.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
Wild, right, and you've seen the Yankees, right, which is
even one that's even crazier. Yeah, that two thousand and
nine year. That was like asking if you wanted to
be kicked or punched in the face for you guys, Yeah,
for me, yes, me, just me, Like no, there's nobody
else I character, It was just me. It was misser

(38:01):
and uh, you know, I'd get excited when any anything
happened that made somebody sad, and so I jumped on
the couch. I think, I think uh, And the one
Philly fan told my mom I jumped on the couch
and I was like, dude, yeah, yeah, I was like
what are you doing? Like yeah, it was unreal. It
was unreal. What's so? Can you all?

Speaker 1 (38:21):
Right?

Speaker 3 (38:21):
So you know this is for the Philadelphia people. All
your viewers and listeners know you, they know about you.
I'm asking this question, so can you tell me just
I would like to know as growing up in Brooklyn, right, like,
how do you decide between Mets and Yankees?

Speaker 2 (38:40):
This has always fascinated me. So Brooklyn it gets a
little easier because the Brooklyn Dodgers were a thing. Yes, yes, okay,
So the blue from the Mets is drive from the
Brooklyn Dodgers and the oranges from the New York Giants,
which was also the San Francisco Giants, So we lost
both teams. Yeah, the Giants played in the Polo Grounds.
They moved to San fran as a two for one deal,

(39:03):
so La Brooklyn when they moved. When the Dodgers moved
to LA, they had to find other teams to go
with them, and one of them ended up being you know,
the athletics obviously went a little bit later, but them
and the New York Giants went, so we lost the
New York Baseball Giants the were real New York Giants
of New York, and we lost the Brooklyn Dodgers right

(39:23):
in one full swoop. So National League Baseball was gone.
So two years later they created the Mets and it
blew from the Dodgers the Orange. So any Brooklyn I
is really a Met fan because their team's back. Okay,
I got that. Yeah, So it's National League Baseball versus
American League Baseball. And then also just the Bronx was

(39:44):
always like, you know, pompous and stuff so like. But
the crappiest part about all of it, it was like
I understood it. My grandma taught me the history of
the Mets, and I was instantly hooked as a Met fan.
My dad worked for Goldman Sachs. He would get Yankee
tickets and met To tickets, so it would be a
Sunday Met game for four tickets. So my little brother

(40:05):
would go regardless, like he's like your little he's you know,
he was my best friend, so like I would take him.
The Yankee tickets were on the weekdays. My dad wake
us up in the morning and say, hey, you're going
to work with me, and then we'd end our day
at Yankee Stadium's awesome. Yeah right, yeah, but you didn't
know when he was gonna do it. So every night

(40:26):
he went to bed thinking today could be the day. Yeah,
and like back then, you didn't look at the schedule
like every four seconds like we do. But my brother
realized after when it was his turn to do it
one day. He realized a week later when my dad's
steep Cherokee and he goes, hey, Dad, I think I'm
a Yankee fan, and my dad, without missing a step, goes, great,
I'll take you to all the Yankee games going forward.

(40:48):
Because your brother like doesn't want to buy the merge,
doesn't want to like you know, he didn't want to
eat his ice cream out of the helmet, but like
I refuse to do that stuff. That's very loyal. Yeah,
my brother was not, and he still went to every
gosh darn met game with me, but he got to
go to all the Yankee games and then he would
bring me home a toy no as a Yeah. Yeah,

(41:11):
so I denounced the Jets. Okay, So because of this,
like I sniped one of the teams that my whole
family loves. So my entire family, Grandpa, grandmam, mom, you
name it, Jets fans. I denounced them. Well, that was
a wise move on your part, go bird, you had something,
you had some.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
You had some foresight, foresight there with with that debacle.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
So that was a long combo. But yeah, it's it's cool,
like there's history, and I'm sure it's same with you.
I want to reverse it now, like why Philadelphia, Why Phillies?
Why so passionate about sports in general?

Speaker 3 (41:47):
Well, it's funny, my family has been in Philadelphia. I
finally I did my ancestry. I've talked about this in
the office like a couple of years ago, and I
got back to seventeen forty two Philadelphia on my on
my paternal grandmother's side, seventeen forty two, so before the
Declaration of Independence, Revolutionary War. Yeah, so my family they're

(42:11):
just pretty much indigenous Philadelphia people, and they were, you know,
they had the athletics.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
She dated Ben Franklin.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
She did my Yeah, my great great great grandmother dated
Ben Franklin.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
She was a first influencer.

Speaker 3 (42:21):
She probably was. She probably was Kensay Ross was actually,
but I might be related. I might be related to her,
you never know, but no, I just it's so funny.
I didn't know until I got older that others well.
And and I'm used to New York, right, Like I'm
used to like the East Coast lifestyle.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
Like I'm used to New York, and I'm used to,
you know, New.

Speaker 3 (42:41):
York Philly, Like that's what life is, right right, yeah,
I'm like life is just in New York. It's just
a bigger Philly. Like that's where you go next, you
go to Philadelphia, so it's bigger, right yeah.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
Yeah, So that's that's my worldview.

Speaker 3 (42:52):
And like I didn't know until I was older, embarrassingly older,
that people do not like live and die the way
that we do in Philadelphia and New York about their
teams in Boston. You know, it's it's a.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
I think there's more frauds in New York fan base
than Philadelphia. That's because it's like a little bit more transient.

Speaker 3 (43:09):
Like Philadelphians like myself, right, my my father, you know,
we've been here forever and ever. It's like it's like
the people who live here stay here, we raise their
families here.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
Here's what I hate about New York. The fact that
the fans had the Knicks fans had to come to
Philly to watch the diehard Knick fans had to come
to Philly to watch their team because they couldn't afford
to go to the Garden, Like they take abetting. Yeah,
that's upsetting, and they and so Philly took it as
oh my god, they took over our team. We're a
bad fan base. It's like, no, dude, even if you

(43:42):
charge them four times the amount you would charge yourself, yeah,
it's still cheaper than the Garden. And they could afford
to do it. Yeah. So like that turnpike and also
no tolls, like barely any tolls they get into Philly
as opposed to New York is like one hundred and
twenty bucks. Yes, I would love, dude. City Field is amazing.
Been there and it is.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
I have to say it's fantastic, and we'll do something
there too. It's beautiful, one of the most it's one
of my favorite ballpark.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
But you're like two hundred dollars in the hole before
you park. Yeah, seriously, it's insane. Those New York praises
well than to do there, Like there's Noxinity Live right
you're there, you're there, and then you gotta go.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
I actually, my first time at city Field, I got lost,
I think on the subway and I ended up.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
In Queens seven okay, okay.

Speaker 3 (44:28):
And then I had this taxi driver who was this
I would say, elderly lady who is a bit erratic,
if you will, to the point where I was like, Okay,
I think we're good here.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
Actually it turns out I live here out yeah, pretty.

Speaker 3 (44:42):
Much, and then left me out in the middle of Queens.
But I figured I figured my way out.

Speaker 6 (44:45):
I was.

Speaker 2 (44:46):
I was good.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
But city Field beautiful. They have that view of the
river right Is that.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
What it is? What is it?

Speaker 6 (44:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (44:52):
I mean you could see the entire skyline. You could
see the huts is right there.

Speaker 3 (44:57):
Yeah, that's what I just was standing, I guess because
the way that they they have.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
The Coca Cola corner, that ramp right there, that view
is it stops me every time? Yeah.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
That was my again, I think, my only time there,
and I just was standing there and I'm like, this is.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
That breeze is great too? Like, also, you'll lose your
hat though, yeah, spoiler it I did. Did you take
a bomber? I did did you. Yeah, I had to
choose my hat down the street. It was so embarrassing. Yo,
it's the worst. And like right now, like I'm not
in the best shape of my life. I'm in a shape,
but it's not a good shape. But so like I'm

(45:33):
like huffing, puffing, trying to get I felt like the
fattest dude in the world, like trying to catch like
you know, and the things flapping through the morning. It
was like that bag that floated in that movie. Like
it felt like that you're trying to catch it. It
was awful, Like I felt like Madeline, like is that
another yes?

Speaker 6 (45:53):
Man?

Speaker 2 (45:53):
It was. It was so awful, Like I was not Yeah,
it was not fun. So that bridge shoutouts the city field,
but the Bank is We're gonna have so much fun
this weekend. I mean this, this stadium is built for
big game action, Citizens Bank Park, Infinity Live, Infinity Life Vibe.
Even just the tailgates, like like if you just tailgate

(46:18):
like with just and I'm not talking about it, you
gotta bring out food like this or anything, like just
even just a couple of drinks before you go in
with your loved ones, Like you can't do that in
New York.

Speaker 3 (46:27):
Again, something my provincial self did not know until I
started to leave the Philadelphia.

Speaker 2 (46:33):
Yeah, it's hilarious. You mean there's no tailgating where where
What do I do before the game? Where do I go?
Where can somebody just open their trunks? They frown upon it,
like an you gotta put it in a red cup. Uh.
They mess with you like it's like it's not the
same as here. But if you do it with like
their version of like Green Legion or Philly Sports strips,

(46:54):
the seven line fan base like they get they get
like a tailgate that's approved and like and then you
can go and hang out. Yeah, and Darren does an
amazing like you got to hang out with the seven
line one day. Yeah okay, yeah, see, I don't know
if I'll be accepted because again, just don't wear like
we'll go to a neutral game.

Speaker 6 (47:13):
You know.

Speaker 3 (47:14):
Well, I have a low key Phillies charm that I wear, okay,
because I got to represent somewhere.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
Yea, And it's okay.

Speaker 3 (47:20):
Look, here's my thing about fans, And I said this
to you when I found out you were a Mets fan.
I don't judge people for their fandom because I would
never want to go anywhere, and somebody'd be like, why
are you, Like, I don't care where I moved to it.
I can move to Guam, which I've put out into
the universe before because it seems like a lovely island nation.
I could move to Guam and like they could have

(47:41):
the best baseball team in the world.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
I would never abandon the fin just right, But god
forbid if my daughter marries a mefan. No, I'm just
kidding across that bridge when we I'm so scared of that. Like,
there's so many things in life. Peyton could do whatever
she wants. Yeah, she can marry who whatever she wants. Yeah,
I don't if she can marry a Philly fan, I'm
gonna say that. But if she turned her back, like

(48:06):
she better wait tom dead. Like, so, what who would
you like? Yankees? No? Like, for example, like Jen was
a Yankee fan, right okay, and when we started dating,
she flipped to be that fan, and her dad was
kind of annoyed, but he wasn't a big enough fan
to really care, Like he doesn't watch Like he's just like, yeah,
we're a Yankee hat, all right?

Speaker 6 (48:27):
Cool?

Speaker 2 (48:27):
Like, and a lot of Yankee fans are like, that's
no fault one, but it still bothered him. Me if
that was Peyton, I'm not paying for the wedding Like
that's like I would. My whole life is based off
of Terry Collins saying shot. She knows the deal. Though
we have a studio with Mets gear in it. I've

(48:50):
had every Met player, Like on my show, she cannot
turn her back min I die. She could do whatever
she wants. Look, she's not gonna. I don't. I don't think.
I don't think she's so scared. I don't things that
keep me up at night. And that's what you're like,
you know, you know, like I always have those memes

(49:11):
or like videos that like the the wife or the
significant other has like a bad dream that they got
cheated on. Like those are dreams I have, like Payton,
like older like like no, and and it does suck
because I do share uh strong like yourself. I will

(49:34):
go on social and I'll show her what you're up
to and stuff like that, because I want her to
see powerful voices that are female like oursel yourself. You know,
anybody that you know will put a positive gabby from
uh you know, the children's specialized hospital and Carly so
like I always want strong, powerful female figures in her

(49:55):
life as well, her nanny who's now a marketing genius
for to give us Shot Network. She like all these
people that you know, and I want her to have
her own voice. So I do want that. I just
don't want her to be a Philly fan like ever,
it's not she's not going to She's gonna remain loyal.
She's gonna know.

Speaker 3 (50:12):
Look, yeah, And that's the thing for me. People with
like how you're asking me how did this happen?

Speaker 2 (50:17):
How to come to be?

Speaker 3 (50:17):
People ask me all the time, how'd you get into
sports talk radio? And I'm like, I didn't know that.
It wasn't a thing like it was like it's a
thing in Philadelphia anywhere else until I got older and
into this business, and then I realized, I'm like, wow,
it's it's in a lot of places in the country,
Like people aren't as obsessed with their teams as we are,
you know, And it's it's just natural, and it's gonna
be natural for her to like just because it's part

(50:39):
of your daily conversation. Like growing up, my dad would
pick me up on Fridays, my parents were divorced, so
that's fine. My dad would pick me up on Fridays
and we drive around and we would listen to sports
talk radio and it would just be and I would
be listening and he'd be telling me his thoughts and
he'd be like, what'd you think you watched the game
this week? It was like it was nothing out of
out of my life. And that also cemented my loyalty

(51:02):
because my dad would just be like, this.

Speaker 2 (51:03):
Is what you do, this is who you are.

Speaker 3 (51:05):
So like I was blessed to be able to make
it a living, you know, and and and somehow do
it in my hometown, which I feel is so special, right,
but like you know, I just that's just part of
who I was. And then when I landed in sports talk,
I'm like, party on, Wayne, would.

Speaker 1 (51:20):
You like.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
If like the person or your dreams like walked in,
would you switch fandoms? No they're good, never good, No good.
I am.

Speaker 3 (51:30):
Look, there's hope for there's one thing about me, and
anybody who knows me knows this.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
I'm loyal to a fall to a fall me too.

Speaker 3 (51:37):
And with so with so with like sports, I mean no,
they'll have to find somebody else there's there.

Speaker 2 (51:43):
Look, sports are entertainment. Life is hard. Would you swipe
the other way if you saw like a Mets hat
even though it was like the person looked like I
don't know a rock star super far, like I don't know,
like you know, like you're like, oh my god, that's
the best looking person I've ever seen.

Speaker 3 (52:01):
All Right, I will, I will say, and I'm outing
myself right now.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
I would. I would never tell anybody until it got serious. Okay,
oh my god, I have to. I'd have to sit
like my father down because like I do get, like
I almost understand, like like Bray sometimes says some things
to me that makes me feel less of human being

(52:27):
because I'm a Med fan and he doesn't mean it
like I feel like it's like just he's conditioned that way.

Speaker 3 (52:33):
We well we are. We are conditioned. And here's the
thing I am. I'm a lot I full disclosure. I
hate the mess like I say that, like but from
a fun rivalry standpoint where yeah, I love to hate the.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
Corner like you guys have had a lot of success,
oh yeah, at our at our expense.

Speaker 3 (52:51):
Yes, like and and again it's a fun rivalry. I
the Cowboys are are like the big the biggest track,
that's the most egregious sin I would say in like
sports fandom.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
Yeah, like I I really I I dated Cowboys fans.
It hasn't worked out. You know, why do you think
that is? Build with them?

Speaker 3 (53:14):
Like I know, So if you're like a Cowboys fan
in twenty twenty five, fine, good on you. But like
I hope that you have like good reasons because they're
not America's.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
Still wearing like emmittts mid jerseys. They are they are
Troy amit. Yeah, I mean, let it go.

Speaker 3 (53:29):
Your good Your championships are on a VHS. You know,
your Super Bowl wins are on VHS tape. Good luck
finding a VCR to watch those. I'll just pull mine
up on demand or you know, stream it. Yeah, except
since the Eagles win was in twenty twenty five.

Speaker 2 (53:45):
Yeah, how you feel about this season? I'm excited, You're excited. Yeah,
I'm excited. It's it's you know, it's it's gonna be fun.
We have a lot of things in store for both
of us. Oh yeah, yeah, like whether it be you know,
some of our sponsors, some of the things that we're
gonna be doing, and it's just like football like, I mean,
I look at this food and I think of the
last time I ate like this was like football season.

Speaker 3 (54:07):
I was talking to somebody at the office today and
I said, I don't think of seasons in terms of
like spring, winter, fall, never, you know, I think of
them in like, well, for me, football season is my
new year.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
That's that's my like new year.

Speaker 3 (54:26):
So that's my new year because I feel like that's
when the year starts. You have football, then hockey starts,
then basketball starts. Baseball is coming to a close. But
you know it's that sports equinomics.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
It's so easy.

Speaker 3 (54:38):
So you and I who talked about the sports equinox, right, Yeah,
So that's like my favorite time of year.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
But it's gonna be good this year.

Speaker 3 (54:45):
And I'm excited because I feel like, as high as
the expectations are for the Eagles, I can't wait to
see the competition again this year. And I can't wait
to see what the Eagles decide to do when they
do execute on this field. Right, And I'm hoping you
know that it's there's no I get a little nervous
because after twenty.

Speaker 2 (55:03):
Eighteen, when the Eagles won, things got a little wonky.

Speaker 3 (55:06):
Yeah, things got a little wonky, relationships start to fall apart.
There was all these drama, all this rumors. That's I
don't want that this season, you know, because when you
win the Super Bowl, everybody then kind.

Speaker 2 (55:17):
Of yeah, everybody, they're gonna have a target on their
backs exactly. So like even the worst of the worst teams,
the Giants will try to beat you, right, yeah, they're
not gonna Yeah, everybody's gonna get gassed up, like it's
the super Bowl. Yeah, so you might lose some games
that you would have won last year, for sure. But

(55:38):
I think the culture thing is fixed. I really do.
I do too, like the way they draft, the way
they keep people on the team. You know, we're in
an event and there was two players that were had
animosity within a week that were both off the team. Yep.
Like so so it was just crazy and like so
Dom big Dom is like very entwined into the morale

(56:02):
and oh yeah, and overall like just.

Speaker 3 (56:06):
The team and how he watching, how he rose with
I feel like I talk about him like he's like
my brother, you know.

Speaker 2 (56:12):
Because everybody does like an uncle an uncle. He feels
like a relative.

Speaker 3 (56:16):
I'm like, Howie his growth over the years but that
was That's what I was gonna say. Is I truly
feel like that, you know, he's learned so many lessons
over the years that while on field, execution x'es and
O's blake calling, scouting, you know, while all that stuff
is important, Like he's got that culture down and he
makes and he makes no apologies for it. He'll tell

(56:38):
you how it is, how he wants it. And if
you don't want to be that you're part of you're
not part of the Philadelphia Eagles culture. And that makes
me feel proud, you know, is that he like draws
touch such a tough line with that because if you're
not getting along off the off the field, how.

Speaker 2 (56:53):
Yeah, they've been team first.

Speaker 6 (56:55):
You know.

Speaker 2 (56:56):
I've heard they scout like hardcore into these towns. They
try to find somebody to talk bad about the player, Yeah,
and they want to talk to that person and really
sort it out right, Like it's it's pretty intense, and
I don't think anybody else is doing that, Like you know,
like some of their draft boards, like you scratch your
head and then all of a sudden, you know it's Scooper,
I know, like it's just like it's crazy man, and

(57:19):
like you know, I I for me, uh, the outside
looking in people like Jamie for me clean bro. He
was like, I'd put a thousand right now that they're
gonna wind. Yeah say that that. So like everybody else
thinks they're going to repeat. So like I, I do
don't think the fan base should hold them to that
type of standard. I I don't want to see.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
My problem is and and people don't get this, like
because I'm a very calm sports observer.

Speaker 2 (57:46):
But if I feel if I'm not calm, I'm like,
you know, it's like it's like zero to sixty. I
get it. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (57:53):
If if I get this is what will happen like
I'm doing with the Phillies.

Speaker 2 (57:56):
If I give myself that, like.

Speaker 3 (57:58):
Buffer we're going to win the Super Bowl again, expectation
it's over, then then I'm gonna especially because football is
only sixteen games, Like I could do it for seventeen games,
excuse me, yeah, plus playoffs whatever I can. With baseball,
there's so many games you can like temper it. But
with football, I'm a major act. September I was ramaniac. Yeah,

(58:19):
it's September.

Speaker 2 (58:20):
I was like rolling my eyes at some of the
fans because like, you know, they wanted Hurts, isn't it,
like you know, I add, I can't do that.

Speaker 3 (58:27):
And there also I've been seeing some conversations that are
going on in Philadelphia already on the airwaves trying to
rank Jalen Hurts, and I will just say on the record,
it's the most asinine, ridiculous, laziest conversation I have heard
in my life as a Philadelphia sports fan that there's

(58:47):
anybody who is remotely questioning the Super Bowl MVP and
his skill set and talent level.

Speaker 2 (58:53):
If you want to compare him to somebody, compare them
to like Kobe you know what I mean, like where
it's like it's a whole nother realm of leadership quarterback.
The calmness to win in this city is hard, and
the fans are hard, and it's easy to say, you
know what, I'm out like you know, like and be

(59:14):
like I'm not coming back, and you know, and he's
he's digested all in his own way, in his own
own like weird, like he says things that are like
sound biblical like they and some are, and it's like,
how could you not love this guy? Well?

Speaker 3 (59:29):
And he is measured and that's what I want to see.
I want to see somebody who's going to take those losses,
you know, and not die because of the right you know.
And he doesn't internalize things. He's just like, Okay, this
wasn't good. What do I need to do to get better?
What does he say? Rents do every day? And he's right,
And so I just I just had to get that
out there that if you're listening somewhere and you're somebody

(59:51):
who remotely thinks that Jalen hurts is and is overrated
or whatever something wrong with him, then I think that
somebody should sh in their mouth.

Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
And that's what I think, Syrianne, because you shouldn't be
allowed to speak on a microphone if you think that
Sirianni shaving his head released pressure from the team, Yes,
you know what I mean? Yeah, like that was a
smart movie. Yeah, he's like like I don't know if
he did like just changing the vibe of the clubhouse,
but everybody ran with that and the other team got
you know. And then also like Brendan Graham mentioning that

(01:00:22):
hurts and what a j Brown wearing getting along squad
to or having issues shouldn't have done that but but
they rose above it, you know, and and it was
just like a movie like that whole season.

Speaker 3 (01:00:35):
The whole season was insane. The super Bowl, the game
was insane. Yeah, everything it's it's wild. It does it's
it's crazy having grown up here and living here my
entire life and then seeing not the Eagles when not
only once, but twice. So it's like you go into
this and you're like, wow, now we're at we've been
contenders for the last seven years, but now it's.

Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
Like, oh, we're really really contenders, you know, twice and
ten years. That's crazy. The Super Bowl itself, though, it
was kind of like you for it because like it
was weird, like you're like, shouldn't be winning by this much.

Speaker 3 (01:01:06):
Yet I kept waiting for Patrick Mahomes to, you know,
just turn it on, like like even like he did
in twenty twenty two.

Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
We're twenty twenty three.

Speaker 3 (01:01:14):
Yeah, when they played he went out at halftime and
everybody thought his ankle was broken. And then he comes
back and he's tap dancing like Fred Astare. Yeah, you know,
he's like, you know, doing like the whole jig. I'm like,
what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (01:01:27):
Patrick Mahomes are supposed to be hurt that. That was
one of the things that I didn't like about social
media because this team, like you said, just played each
other two years ago, so people were sharing like old interviews. Yeah,
and like I was like, what's now? Like, you know,
like I need to I'm ready. Who's that born?

Speaker 4 (01:01:44):
Ready?

Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
Huh? We had a first guest. Oh, we have a guest. Oh,

Speaker 3 (01:01:51):

fixing herself, she's been busy.

go somewhere to sit? Like you could pick? I want
to sit. So I was like okay. So we sat
down and we went to like a diner and she's like, listen,
I don't want to play on the All Star team
because I just want to get better. Like she didn't
say mechanics, but she pretty much said that YE like
her skills and then take it by storm next year

(01:06:40):
and like and she's like, and if I still feel
this way, I might not play after next year. And
I was like, dude, I'm not pushing you. Whatever you want.
I text my buddy who was the coach. I was like, Yo,
we're out. She's going to stay in the lab. But
the fact that my eight year old wanted to sit
me down side to side and talk to me just
shows how much of a psycho I am with baseball.

(01:07:01):
But I but and she understands it. But I think it's.

Speaker 3 (01:07:04):
Really sweet too that she's so she's so smart and
thoughtful that she's like, you know, what's not this year
and not next year? I'm gonna give it another year. Yeah,
I'm gonna give it another year and see what happens.
She's like, Zach Wheeler, I might retire now, Zach's Zach's
retired twenty twenty seven.

Speaker 2 (01:07:17):
Oh my god, he announced that this week.

Speaker 3 (01:07:20):
I mean he announced it last year when he signed
his contract, and then he did it must have been
repeated and then it like made waves again, probably because
he's our only decent. He's not our only, but he's
our thank god, thank god. He came back from paternityly,
but you know, I.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
Mean think about it. He was one of four aces
that were on the Mets and he's still the only one.
De Gram's back now. Yeah, but comparatively, speaking from the
Harvey cinderguard right Wheeler days, I'm like, dude, design for
you guys. It should have been great. It should have
been great. Yeah, it wasn't, like you know, like so

(01:07:54):
I know those seasons. It's brutal. It's brutal. Like the
other funniest thing is like, how much like we've grown
as a culture because like Matt Harvey, like I was like, yeah,
he's got a bloody nose and he's still playing. Now
I realized it was because he was doing drugs right
right back then, I was like, what a what a gladiator?
What a war man? He's a man's man like that

(01:08:19):
doesn't normally like your nose doesn't bleed that.

Speaker 3 (01:08:23):
No, no, no, it doesn't that it's probably not from
dip either, I would say no.

Speaker 2 (01:08:29):
And we learned, like how how quickly he phased out? Man,
it's upsetting. I know, that's actually insane. We've had a time.
I see.

Speaker 3 (01:08:37):
It's funny because clearly my whirlhouse, my wheelhouse is Wheeler.

Speaker 2 (01:08:42):
Is Wheeler, and all the you know, all the Phillies
and stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:08:44):
But then you bring up a name like Matt Harvey
and I'm like, oh, there was such a time where
I remember he was such.

Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
A Harvey We were terrified, were terrified of it was
every five days like the met fans had something to
look forward to. Yes, ye must see TV. He was solid.
It was like Doc Goodin in his hay Day, another
guy that fizzed out to joined the Yankees and one
World Series unreal, but it's so crazy crazy then it's

(01:09:10):
the same.

Speaker 3 (01:09:10):
But look at TJ McConnell right now, I mean, come on,
not for nothing on the Sixers. Now he's like now
he's like winning with Pascers like whatever, t J.

Speaker 2 (01:09:19):

dying to go, but I haven't been.

Speaker 2 (01:11:53):
Yes.

Speaker 6 (01:11:53):
Yes, it's named for It's the Cambodian word for chicken,
and it was a sign of peace when the chickens
were out, when the man were out, because like the
area was at rest, like people would come out and
like there wasn't turmoil happening because the chickens were and
the chickens were around. It was just a sign for that.

Speaker 2 (01:12:13):
Oh, and that's where Moon comes from. Oh that's nice.
I'm dying to try their stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:12:16):
I'm actually I actually live really close to that and
their menu looks fantastic.

Speaker 6 (01:12:20):
It's so good.

Speaker 2 (01:12:21):
But I see I mean, of course I didn't know
it was Mon. I thought it was one.

Speaker 6 (01:12:25):
Well, it's whatever you want to like. N Well, his
new restaurant's going to be called Sao because that's how
his mom says South Philly.

Speaker 2 (01:12:32):
So oh that's cool.

Speaker 6 (01:12:34):
And that was opening near Barcelona. Oh fine, I'm here
for all your food content.

Speaker 2 (01:12:37):
Guys.

Speaker 6 (01:12:38):
Is that what you were talking about when I walked over?

Speaker 3 (01:12:40):
Yes, we're talking about food. We're talking about the Phillies.
Now you know Marissa and her family die hard Phillies fans.
How many you and your dad go to every Well,
you go to every Eagles game?

Speaker 6 (01:12:49):
Right? I go to every Eagles game my and.

Speaker 2 (01:12:51):
Then the Phillies too, don't you guys?

Speaker 6 (01:12:53):
Do the Phillies do opening down? Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:12:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:12:56):
Can I tell you a fun story that's Eagles. So
my tickets for the Eagles are third generation, grandfather, dad, myself,
my grandfather. You can know the old story about how
the spectrum Ruth flew off. Yes, not many people know.
It actually flew off twice. It flew off. Somebody came
and fixed it, that flew off again. My grandfather is

(01:13:19):
the one that came in and fixed it. Really, And
so mister Snyder like went over to the VET and
was like, mister Kohlzer, we're gonna get you some tickets
to the VET. So my grandfather has had season tickets
at the VET ever since then, obviously since passed. Yeah,
I don't know why I said, obviously that please, No,

(01:13:39):
he's passed. And then my dad had taken them over,
and I took him over from my dad a couple
of years ago.

Speaker 2 (01:13:44):
That's so nice. Wait, that's crazy. It's because he's fixed
the spectrum.

Speaker 6 (01:13:48):
I mean like that.

Speaker 2 (01:13:49):
I think like was like the well, yeah, that's so,
that's so wonderful.

Speaker 6 (01:13:55):
I started to realize it. Like as I'm telling it,
it sounds like mister Snyder was like free tickets for life,
and it was like no, no, no, just come on over,
pick some seats out and you can buy.

Speaker 2 (01:14:04):
Them right right. He's still he's got first tips. First
he got he got to.

Speaker 6 (01:14:09):
Section five fifty amazing seats.

Speaker 2 (01:14:12):
So are you looking forward to this football season? I'm
sure you are stoked. What did you do for the
when they won the Super Bowl? We haven't really caught up.

Speaker 6 (01:14:18):
We haven't all I missed you high, you know, Mike right.

Speaker 2 (01:14:23):
Still nice to see you.

Speaker 6 (01:14:24):
I know, we just like jumped in like old friends.

Speaker 2 (01:14:28):
Like this is like I've checked our eques. I've been
doing you guys. Keep talking right, You're I know when
we're hot. This is money right here, so keep talking.

Speaker 6 (01:14:38):
I jumped on a plane and went to New Orleans.

Speaker 2 (01:14:40):
Oh, so you did go to the game. I didn't
go to the gate, okay, but you were in the set.
How was it?

Speaker 6 (01:14:45):
It was fabulous?

Speaker 3 (01:14:46):
Was it?

Speaker 2 (01:14:46):
Where did you go? Where did you watch the game?

Speaker 3 (01:14:48):
Okay?

Speaker 6 (01:14:48):
It's a little bar right off Bourbon Street. You know
what's really funny, like when you're in a city, like,
I mean, the city got taken.

Speaker 2 (01:14:55):
Over, right, it was crazy.

Speaker 6 (01:14:57):
Kansas City fans. It was Eagles fans. There wasn't much
turmoil around because everyone was just like enjoying being in
a different city. You're doing chants everywhere, You're saying, go Birds.
But a lot of those people were going to the game.
So by the time the game was on and we
just went to a bar.

Speaker 2 (01:15:14):
You're just at a bar space, but you're just at a.

Speaker 6 (01:15:17):
Bar and like there's not many people around you like celebrating, right,
And it was such a blowout that by the third
quarter the bar we were at turned off the sound.
What because it was a boring game if you're not
tied into it, right, Yeah, of course I was till
the very end.

Speaker 2 (01:15:33):
Like you're like, no, they're going to come back.

Speaker 6 (01:15:36):
I almost like didn't want to say to jinx it, no,
we already won.

Speaker 2 (01:15:39):
That's what That's what we were just talking about.

Speaker 3 (01:15:40):
I was saying, how you know you were just waiting
for that moment where like Patrick Mahomes does something, where
Travis Kelcey does something in that moment never came.

Speaker 6 (01:15:48):
The best reprieve that I had, because I thought they
were gonna go into the locker room have a major
one to eighty turn and then just like come back
and Kendrick Lamar is on for the halftime show. Yes,
these girls come running in off the street and they're

(01:16:09):
like what he's playing this? And I was like, it
was like all the energy I needed at that moment
to like calm down and enjoy the moment.

Speaker 2 (01:16:17):
You're like, Okay, it's gonna happen. I know what a ride.

Speaker 3 (01:16:20):
I can't believe we're almost here. Another season is almost
a palm, I know. And the Philly is now losing
to Miami four to three, bottom of the sixth in
minor league Stagium.

Speaker 4 (01:16:31):
Stop looking, Oh god, every time I look up at
something else, Well, they won.

Speaker 3 (01:16:36):
On Saturday when I was there, so that's good. I
didn't drink something. They won every game I went to
this year. Do you do you keep track of that yeah,
I have a mental note me too, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:16:44):
Like, and I'll stay away if like a team's hot. Yeah,
and like I'm not I'm like you know what, I'm
not going. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:16:50):
My mom has this thing where she goes, like if
she's watching a game at home, even if she's by herself,
like for whatever reason, she'll just get up and like
go into Like she'll be like I'm just gonna go
stand in the kitchen for now.

Speaker 2 (01:17:00):
But but like she won't do anything.

Speaker 3 (01:17:01):
She'll just go stand in the kitchen and then see
if it changes, like the mojo, and then she'll come back.

Speaker 6 (01:17:06):
Ye Silver Lighting's playbook. Yes, literally made a movie about that.

Speaker 2 (01:17:10):
Yes, pretty much. Yeah, same exact thing. Yeah, she does
the same exact thing me too. It's like, yeah, I
will change where I am. I'll change I'll not watch
if they won the night before. Yeah, I'll blame myself
if I didn't watch, like as if my extra viewership
would have changed. Like it's the butterfly effect or something
in my brain, Like if I would have watched the game,

(01:17:31):
they would have wont No.

Speaker 3 (01:17:32):
I blame myself for the Phillies collapse against the Mets
in the NLDS. I do because I it was me.
You know why I knew it because I tweet it
was me. I I tweeted out something. I was watching
the game or getting ready for the game, and I said,
I'm stress cooking meatballs, meatballs. I said, I'm stressed cooking meatballs.

Speaker 2 (01:17:54):
And then they were a bunch of meatballs. No, they
won that game.

Speaker 3 (01:17:57):
Then a bunch of people on the internet were like,
now you got to make the meatballs every game.

Speaker 2 (01:18:01):
You know who didn't?

Speaker 6 (01:18:02):
Me?

Speaker 2 (01:18:03):
I did not make the meatballs.

Speaker 6 (01:18:05):
Did you eat meatballs though?

Speaker 2 (01:18:06):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:18:07):
So I totally dropped the ballot the meatball because it
was my fault. And everyone's like, you didn't make continue
to make the meatballs.

Speaker 2 (01:18:14):
That's why the Phillies lost. Yeah, right, that makes sense.
It makes total sense. Again.

Speaker 3 (01:18:18):
Nothing nothing that has to do with the Phillies. Lack
of offense on base for production, nothing, lack of lack
of defense, you know, fielding like that.

Speaker 2 (01:18:26):
Nothing. Do you think that layoff hurts like where they
so obviously they get a first round by so they
don't have to play in the wild card, right, so
those extra like it's almost a week off. Do you
think that actually hurts the teams? Because the Braves do. Ah,
why I think it.

Speaker 3 (01:18:44):
I think this year, in particular, it's gonna, I guess.

Speaker 2 (01:18:48):
Feel a little different, right, it's.

Speaker 3 (01:18:49):
Gonna be a little different. I think that it hurt
them kind of. But this year there's too many injuries
for me to make a decision home whether or not.

Speaker 2 (01:18:58):
That's how I feel about it, you know what I mean?
The wild card, Like, I just feel like everybody gets hotter,
right because you're playing consistently the momentum Yeah yeah, and
then you know, you win the division. Like I think,
like seventy percent of the time they get bounced. Yes,
it's crazy.

Speaker 6 (01:19:16):
Yeah, that is not you know what I think is
gonna be the key to this season. That j Roll
comment at the beginning.

Speaker 2 (01:19:21):
Oh yes, I agree. I love that comment. I loved it.
I thought I was like, he's right. Do you not
like it, Mike, No, I do not. I'm a met fan,
he's a mess fan.

Speaker 6 (01:19:29):
Oh all right, I gotta go.

Speaker 2 (01:19:33):
She's like, and my time's up here. Remind him of
what Jay Rowl said though, before.

Speaker 6 (01:19:38):
You go, oh well, j Rowl, it was him and
Bryce and Bryce I don't know the context of it.
I can't remember, but he said to him. He said
to him, he says, he said.

Speaker 2 (01:19:48):
He said, I said so, he said to the guy.

Speaker 6 (01:19:51):
He pretty much said to him, like, look, when we
were playing, we hated always hearing and seeing the eighty
guys because like that was the highlight every time you'd play.
You have a good season, you have a bad season,
you have a good game, you have a bad game.
It was always about the nineteen eighty guys and Tug
and everybody. He said to Brice. J Rol said to Bryce,
if you want to stop hearing about us, you have

(01:20:13):
to win.

Speaker 2 (01:20:13):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:20:14):
Amen, that's just facts, facts on facts on facts on facts.

Speaker 2 (01:20:18):

Yeah see do you see? Yeah, that's exactly what it is.

Not great as we head into the series this weekend.
Again though, this is like a team that's getting gassed
up to beat you, right, like this is like their
biggest game, I know, you know, right, So like that
happened with the Mets in their class. Yes, they played
like Miami like nine times, right, lost every single game,

(01:22:43):

a half. We got fifteen games to win one and
a half games like like we gotta win three out
of the next. Yeah. I don't want to talk about it.
