Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Yeah, let the big dog honeleve again. Everybody. Welcome to
another episode of The Philly Post. I'm your host, Joe
stay Zac along with Izzy McGarvey, Michael Warren, Sean Locked
the good evening, everybody. How are we doing today?

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Solid?

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Joe? Solid? Everyone good? Have a good fourth of July.
Uh Phils are playing right now? They lost. The last
two games are in San Francisco Oracle Park, Acubby Cove
and all that interesting. The Umpires had quite a game
the night before. Topper, who you know how I feel

(00:35):
about Topper apparently was criticized the next day for not
coming out back and his boys. Apparently Hump was horrible
on both sides. But last night, I've never seen that.
I've never seen a game end on a walk off
inside the park home run, a three run the park,
inside the park, home run rough carem Who is it say?
Who is playing center last night?

Speaker 3 (00:55):
That Marshallall?

Speaker 1 (01:00):
I thought it was marsh Marsh Blame marsh for that
carem Should he have more of a position that don't
know where that ball is going off? That wall looked
like it was I thought it was out when he
off the bat like out out and it turned into
you know, they had the game won. They gave up
a run when it was three to one with two
outs and then bamont, your boy almost dropped a little

(01:20):
pop up. But anyone to blame there? Or is that
just one of those crazy things that happens.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
I think it's one of those crazy things that happens.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
I mean, to get an inside the park home run,
something has to at least one thing has to go
wrong in the outfield.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah, you guys have to collide or has to do
one of those That ball, I mean more around the fence.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
Help came over, but that ball rocketed past the help
and that's why I.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Was like, uh, you knew that would go all the
way around by marsh.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
I mean, it's the first inside the park walk off
home run since twenty sixteen, and what the first one
from a catcher since the twenties. So I agree. I
agree with Micah Fluky. I guess the one question I
did have, and I was listening to the radio today
and they were talking, well yesterday, last this is today,

(02:08):
was where was Kepler? Because he was like nowhere to
be found. But I guess apparently they figured out that
he was more towards the infield, trying to set up
for cutoff if it need be so flukeyper play. I
mean they're they're looking pretty solid right now. The rough
for nothing.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
You want to he went out, if you want to
run out of Harper when I'm out.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
He's got one home run. Okay, it's one home run.
Let's let's see. I like I said, I personally think
he's he's injured. I think he's playing hurt. You can
tell by the way his swings are. I was at
the game last Wednesday, and it was like watching Kirk
Gibson so easy. I'm telling you, man.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
That's a little rough on on on Harper. It was
hurt last year, but he got Remember you was really
frustrated because he was hitting little flies. He wasn't obviously
he didn't have the same entry at Joe leash year. Yeah,
Gibson couldn't stand no.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
I know, it's just from a standpoint of he doesn't
like Gibson had a great swing. He couldn't stand well.
I mean, Bryce has a great swing and he can't
work his wrists right right now. And his wrists are
a very very huge part about swing.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
So I don't mind him working through it.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
So much right now, But would rest just solve the
problem then just go back on the il.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
I was going to say, like if he does not
one hundred percent, like what percentage you think he is?
That he's not getting full power? And should he be
should he be sitting?

Speaker 4 (03:39):
I mean, he hasn't had full power all year, And
why isn't Justin Crawford coming up? He's hitting three, he's
hitting last I saw a few days ago. He's hitting
three forty three. Now, apparently he doesn't hit the ball
out of the infield. He has two home runs, But
so what, it's got to be better than putting somebody
out that the hit.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
It's too twenty on a good day. Yeah, I think
Kepler might be below that.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
I don't get not what they do.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
They don't bring up those guys.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Like this is what they do all the time. They
Brian Howard too late.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
Yeah, but he was blocked in fairness he was Yeah,
but no, no, I agree with you. They do drag
their feet because they don't want to ruin anybody. Well,
you're ruining the major league team, and.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
You're hurting the major league team.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, okay, yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
I was just gonna move on to All Stars, because
I think we're pretty obvious that Kyle Schwarber his twenty
eighth last night, and Zach Wheeler was I mean, he
wasn't the last batter, but he retired twenty eight on
Sunday and Austin Hayes hit a home run off and
that was it. Other than that, he was perfect.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
I mean that one does thing.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
And by the way, I'll take the blame for it
because I told my brother I was watching, and I said,
I think I just heard as they went out of
the fourth inning, he's retired. Everyone he's faced, And so
my cousin, who's a jerk, Mets fans like, oh, no hitter,
he's got a no hitter.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Is that what you just said? He's got a no hitter, right,
He's got a no hitter. I was like, dude, that
batter over the wall. Yeah he did, but I'll take
responsibility for it. I shouldn't have said anything.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
That was your fault.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
You know what I think is cool is that they did.
They did elect what's his name, Adam Crognally, the ball
boy to the uh oh did he make it good
for him? You see that gravy hat with the one
hand and they put it together for him.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
So wait, they have ball boys for the All Star
Game this year.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
They elected because they promoted it. What's your name? Taron
Hatchard did a little thing on it and they showed
that gravy hat, so they had to submit something to
the league. I guess all teams did it if they
wanted to, and he won.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
That's fun.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Snubs, do you do you guys sensed Trey Turner or
Sanchez didn't go because so there's somebody those are the snubs.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
So here's an interesting thing. I heard Jason Stark today
say that one of the thing that needs to change,
but the voting is the players vote. But the players
actually voted three weeks ago, so when they should have
probably voted this week or last week. So he thinks
that had a lot to do with the so called
snubs where some of these players, like even want Soto

(06:17):
has been playing a worthy baseball recently, So maybe.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
The players vote, Should we vote?

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Should we vote? I think it's stupid. I think the
right it should go back to the writers.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Yeah, because they're going to follow it because it's their job. Players.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
People don't realize they're they've got their own thing. They're
not sitting here studying the entire league or coming through.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Their fous voting.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
But you know what happens when the players vote, Bobby
and Bray, you gets a gold glove.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
That's what happens. Nobody that ever watched the Phillies thought, man,
that guy flashing leather out there. I didn't even pay
attention half the time.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
He did make batting look easy, though.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Until he left the batter's box.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
He's one of the best batters I've ever seen until
he left the batter's box.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
Stupid on the bass path.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
Once in the outfield, somebody had a line drive to him.
He ran in the other direction. It went behind him
and or he was if he couldn't get to it,
he would do that tumble like I tried.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Right of course, and he probably got up hurt like
hold like.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
That's my reasoning for why players shouldn't vote on this stuff,
because I think even at that time players admitted they're like, yeah,
we just see what's on like Sports Center in the right.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
That's exactly right, is what do you think?

Speaker 5 (07:30):
I think that there should definitely not be a fan vote.
I mean, it's so fun, but you have a small
market teams and it's like you're having guys play really
well and it's just they can't get in because you're
having super popular guys in LA or New York, and
it's like, there's really.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Now that's what the Pro Bowl Isn't the players vote
for their.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
The Pro Bowls?

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Joke?

Speaker 4 (07:51):
But if he makes a great point, and I hadn't
really thought about that, there's probably not a ton of
people in Tampa Bay making sure anybody gets on that.
Versus if twenty percent of Yankees fans vote, they're gonna
get in. I thought she was gonna say fans should't
vote because they don't know what.

Speaker 6 (08:08):
They're talking about.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
I'll make that argument, Well, they shouldn't you just go
vote for your own team. I mean MLB is not
like the NFL. We all have a much better sense
of what's going on around the NFL. The name one
starting pitcher on the Seattle Mariners, I can't as King
Felix retired probably ten years ago.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
That's all I got.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
Randy Johnson's gone, right, ye, major League Baseball tends to
be the team we follow, our.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
Teams, maybe the division.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
I don't know who's leading the AL Central, right now
give me some teams to pick from.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Honestly, how about computers? Why not computers go with guys' numbers,
and then maybe a little I don't know, committee. Well,
you know what you into it. I mean the All
Star Game. I mean it's the best All Star of before.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
But yeah, it's the best competition wise. You're correct, sure,
because the sport lends itself to that, not the joke
that hockey is, which is fun.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Remember when they played for home field advantage.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
In the World Series they stopped doing that.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Yeah, start with me on that start.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
And they also had one player from each team. I
remember one year it was like a middle reliever that
Tampa got. I was like, oh boy, look at all
these people down in the eight, one three tuning in.
Now that that setup guy we got on our losing
team is going to play tonight.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Clayton so Kershaw, did you hear this? Yeah, but it's like.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
The legacy guy's a legacy guy.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
I think that's bullshit.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Well, okay, that's that makes it a little different. I
was gonna ask, does anyone cares to me? He's the
Peyton Manning of baseball anyway? I love him in the
regular season, but I shortened a bench and said him
in the playoffs. No, you wouldn't anyway, Let's move on.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
You always make a good point and then take that
extra sentence too far, like you really just you would not.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Further ado. Bring on one of our guests. I'll get back.
I'll circle back to that uhcation Merchidas. We found him on,
had him on a little while ago. He uh he's
the in game host for the Philadelphia Flowers on ninety
seventy five. Former colleague of mine, and he's going through
a little bit of a challenge. He has colla rectal

(10:19):
cancer stage three. Good man, I'm gonna and there he is,
whereas he's coming on there bottom right, at least bottom right,
if you're looking on my screen, we're getting update from I.
He was making out. I know he was in the
radiation phase.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
The last time he was going to play a tune course.
Remember he had his guitar all.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah, he was all all right in there. He is there,
he is.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
What's going on?

Speaker 1 (10:38):
I introduce you? That's is he is? He mcgarthy down there.
I don't know which side she's on. She's due to
our show. How you doing, my friend?

Speaker 6 (10:45):
I'm doing good? How you guys doing doing okay.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Doing okay. I appreciate you coming. We all appreciate you coming.

Speaker 6 (10:52):
On.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Last time we checked, you were out of the We're
very close to I think you were heading into week eight,
the eighth round of chemo, and you were going into radiation.
And as I understand, you have four left out of
twenty four I believe, and three three left out of train.

Speaker 6 (11:08):
One today you went to another one. You getting another
one on.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Man, you look phenomenal. You don't look any different than
when I worked with you at ninete seventy five. But
tell me how it's going. Tell us how it's going.
Tell the world how's it going? You look? You look
very well.

Speaker 6 (11:22):
Looks can be deceiving. I'll tell you that. And to
get your bus check, I'll tell you that too. No,
I'm I'm to say I'm limping to the finish line
would be a bit of an understatement. I'm definitely limping
to the finish line, which is Monday. For a total
of twenty eight twenty five. I had one this morning.
What happened another Monday, uh Monday of my last radiation

(11:44):
treatment of the twenty eight completed, so I have it
every day Monday through Friday, so I have it tomorrow
and on Friday, and then on Monday would be the
final one. They go into a phase tomorrow called coning,
where they cone the radiation and focus it even more
towards just the tumor. So now they're hitting the tumor

(12:06):
and around it like some margins, And for the last
three they cone it and I guess that like focuses
in't even more. I didn't even know that was the
thing until today. So that's what it'll be for the
final three beginning tomorrow. And we're we're limping to the
finish line because the cumultive side effects or you know,
they build up and the fatigue builds up. It's come

(12:28):
with a lot of pain in the last ten to
fourteen days and you know, discomfort and obviously the GI
issues as well. So we're gonna get to the finish line,
and it'll take a couple of weeks for me to
start like kind of actually recovering my body to realize
it's not getting radiation every day, probably about two weeks

(12:49):
before I start to actually maybe start to begin the
process of feeling better by small increments, I assume, And
we'll see what comes next.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
So we're looking forward to you to go this way.
How did you have you taken any steps forward since
we talked to you, since you started the whole thing?
And what's a day like for you? I mean from
the sounds of things where I talked to you that
it doesn't sound How hard is it to get out
of bed? How hard does it get moving? Is it
harder after radiation? And how's the rest of your day going?

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Well?

Speaker 6 (13:18):
I did the four months of chemo, and that was
a whole different ballgame because I did that every other
Thursday for sixteen weeks. And that was like having, you know,
going into the ring against Mike Tyson and the Prime
and just getting a living crap kicked out of you
every two weeks. And that the mental part of that is,
you know, you go in, you recover from that, whether

(13:38):
it takes anywhere from five days to twelve days to
recover from a chemo treatment, and by the time I'm
recovering and starting to feel better, it's okay, We're going
back in tomorrow to start it all over again. So
that's there's a mental aspect of just getting beat down
by that. And then that was a whole different kind
of recovery than this. And then I had a couple

(13:59):
months off before I started this, and this is I mean,
it's not bad because I go. I have to go
every day, which sucks, but it's five minutes from my house.
I have had five minutes from Chester County Hospital and
that's where I get it done. I literally walk in,
get changed into two hospital robes, one with my ass
out and the other one covering it till I get
in there, and then I just lay on a table

(14:20):
for about four or five minutes. They line me up
with the lasers and all that crap, and then I
get the radiation. You don't feel it, and then I
just get changed and I leave. So I'm in and
out of there within fifteen minutes. Usually it really depends
on the day. Some days, you know, it is harder
to get out of bed. I get up, I get
out of bed at like nine thirty in the morning

(14:40):
to go there, and when I come home, sometimes I'm
wiped out and I need to lay down right away.
Or other times, like today, I went and did some stuff,
went to a couple of stores and took care of
some stuff, you know, for the house, and then came
home and ran some more errands and I'll be sacked
out tonight. But it it just depends on the day.

(15:01):
I haven't gotten really nauseous feeling from the radiation, just
severe fatigue, and you never know when it's gonna kind
of hate you. And of late the gi side effects
and that exacerbates the pain in the backside. I say,
it's like shitting a barbed wire fence right now, and
by the mind. When I said that to him, said,
you mean just the barb wire. Go No, I mean

(15:22):
the fence too. It's not pleasant.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
No, it can't for you guys want to have a question.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
As a guitar player, I got to check in on
the fingertips.

Speaker 6 (15:32):
Man, they're doing good. I haven't played a whole lot late.
I started really playing during chemo a lot too, because
you get this thing from chemotherapy called neuropathy getting your
hands in your feet and it's like numbness and tingling
and like my feet feel like they I've been standing
on a hockey bench for four hours without moving, like
you're just like they're cold and desensitized. And I played

(15:56):
the guitar a lot to stimulate the muscles and the
nerves in my hand.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yeah, that's what I was asking.

Speaker 6 (16:01):
Yeah, so I still play a little bit. I've been
playing as much of late. I'm still getting chemo now,
I just get it through a pill and it's a
lower dose and that's just designed to weaken the cancer
cells to make them more susceptible to the radiation. It's
like kind of like somebody coming in and like, you know,
beating up your opponent a little bit before then you
come in for the knockout, the radiations and knockout. So

(16:25):
I've been playing a little bit, but not as much
as i'd like to.

Speaker 4 (16:28):
I hear that, well, I did just take my first
crack after all these years at Master of Puppets, so
that was this past week.

Speaker 6 (16:35):
That'll get get the nerves and your fingers moving. I
tend to play quite a bit of Metallic, especially the
Injustice for album and Master, but I.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
Never I never was.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
I always liked Metallica, but as a guitar player, that
wasn't something I studied.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
So that was new.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
And it's not even just technically so much as remembering
what I'm doing. It's just so different than what I'm
used to. It's a half hour to the fingertips cut sore.
I was like, all right, there's obviously.

Speaker 6 (16:57):
A lot of paste to it too. So a lot
of right hands got to know what the left hand
is doing and being in total concert.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
And when you don't play a lot like I don't
anymore like I used to, I find the right hand
goes faster.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Than the left.

Speaker 6 (17:10):
Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (17:11):
The right hand, that's your rhythm hand. That's like the
whole backbone of it.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
And it makes you a sledge fest because you're like
hitting strings.

Speaker 6 (17:17):
You know you're not supposed to hit yeah, yeah, and
it's just not you're not chunking the way you're supposed
to chunk.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
So anyway, guys, I got the guitar stuff out of
the way. All right, you guys can go ahead.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Jason, I want to, you know again, thank you for
number one coming on again and to just really putting
the message out there. I heard you on with miss
and Ellie what was a couple of weeks ago, and
it was it was like listening to you guys from
back in the day, and it was awesome, and I
just I want to thank you too of inspiring not

(17:53):
only me, but other individuals around the same age of
getting checked and doing the things that need to do it.
If it doesn't feel right, go immediately and get things
checked out. I go in on the thirtieth of July,
and it's really because you're putting the message out there.
I knew I needed to do it, but hearing your
message was like, shit, I got to get this done now.

Speaker 6 (18:16):
So you're having the colonoscopy. Yeah, yeah, nice, awesome, put
me on the list.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
I just turned forty eight.

Speaker 6 (18:23):
Yeah, get in there. You should have been in there
forty five. I should have been in there. Maybe, well,
I know going through all this crap. Forty five is
the year we're insurance to like kind of pay for
it without being too much of a pain. That were
end about it, but a part of the pun But yeah,
I mean going public that was my hope is too
because like I have not shied away from the fact

(18:44):
that I didn't go because I didn't want to get
a colonoscopy. I didn't go, and I was sick for
a year and a half before I even ended up
in the er and hiding it. And because I when
I go, if I don't know it, it's not there,
you know. And and eventually got to a point where
I couldn't deny it anymore, and I went, and I

(19:04):
got lucky and it didn't spread. But I could have
perhaps prevented this if I had gone sooner. I'm fifty
three now. If I had gone, maybe just at fifty,
I maybe this would have been just a poll up
and they would have removed it and I'd be on
my way. But I didn't. So that's the cautionary tale. Like,
I don't want anybody to have to go through this
that doesn't need to. The colonoscopy, like I was scared

(19:28):
of that. You know, like like a stick, no camera,
upe my butt, you know that whole thing. And frankly
you don't even when you get the actual court, you
don't even know it. And even like after you don't
know that they were there. There's no soreness or anything. Yeah,
is the prep unpleasant, Sure, But frankly, every once in
a while you should probably you know, clean out your system,

(19:49):
and it certainly does so. Yeah, I mean, creating awareness
was the big thing for me. And I've gotten so
many notes from an email from people that because I
told my story, I said that they're doing exactly what
you're doing. They're making an appoyment or I've had people
email me, you know, what were your symptoms because I'm
having similar And then when I tell them they say, oh,
I'm having similar, I said, well, you know, go advocate

(20:10):
for yourself to your doctor. If they kind of say, now,
you probably don't need one. It's probably a food allergy
or bacterial In fact, advocate for yourself. Get the colonoscopy.
Just push for that right away. And that's that's incredible
that people are doing that, and that's why I wanted
to accomplish when I went public. But like I'm no fool,
Like I knew I could help people, but I knew

(20:32):
people could help me too, and people will be. By
going public, people got a huge help to me. So
many people that I go back and forth with, you know,
via email or text or whatever, that I didn't even
know before that are going through this, did go through this,
or maybe you're going to end up going through this.
Like it's it's incredible. So it's kind of renewed my

(20:53):
faith a little bit in humanity. In this social media
avatar eggs world that we live in, it's kind of
helping day. There's a lot of good people out there
and these people that need help, and there's people that
are going through some pretty pretty tough shit, so you
might as well band together and attack it by strength
and numbers. Because I'm a firm believer in that.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
What's coming up for you? After you called it the
finish line? I think on Monday, when do they find
out how the size of it, what's to do next?
Or is there another part of this process before that happens.

Speaker 6 (21:27):
So yeah, I mean, I'll have to wait anywhere between
six weeks and three months before I get scans again.
So I'll go back in at whatever that time is determined,
say it's three months. That'll be up in like mid October,
and they'll do again the CAT scan of my chest
and my abdomen, so I have to drink that nasty

(21:47):
drink and the contrast and all that, and then they'll
also do an MRI of my pelvis and those things
will tell they they do the chest in the abdomen
CT scan to see if there's any glows of cancer
that spread or went anywhere else. I did have a
lesion on my lung, but it was determined non cancerous
when I was first diagnosed, and the belly the admin

(22:10):
area was clean, and the MRIs would obviously show the
tumor the size of it and all that stuff. So
I'll have that done and based upon what those scans
and that MRI say, will determine what's next. If that
determines that there's that I turn out to be what
they call n e D no no evidence of disease,
then I'll likely move into a program called Watch and

(22:32):
Weight where they'll monitor be close every three months for
a period of time and to make sure I stay
clean and if there's if there's any upside for me
long term to get surgery. If they say, hey, there's
no nothing there, but if we take this part of
your you know, of your colon or your you know,

(22:52):
your insides out and it it eliminates any chance of
it ever returning, I'm going to have the surgery too.
So so I have to wait and see. You know,
when I talked to the surgeon, she said, you know,
you're about a coin flip a little maybe a little
bit more than like sixty percent that you will have
to have surgery or depend Like you look at it right,
you're telling me there's a sixty percent chance of rain.

(23:13):
I'll tell you there's a sixty forty percent chance of
no rain. So it's how you look at it. So
we'll see based on what the scans say, and I'll
go from there and I'll tack that that element of
it when I get there from Monday, when I'm done radiation.
Until then, I'm treating it like I don't have anything,
and I'm just gonna work on recovering and getting better

(23:35):
and and moving forward, you know, because i can't see
her and just sit around and go, I'm gonna wait
for three months to for the next thing and wallow
and it like that. That would be silly to me.
So I'm just gonna proceed as if I don't have cancer,
live my life and work out, move and get the
blood moving and kind of just take it day by day.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
And you're doing a great job.

Speaker 5 (23:58):
Man.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
We appreciate you coming on and certainly good luck with
your situation, and we'll obviously have you on a game.
But before we let you go, I got to talk
a little flyers and the draft recently, and then we'll
maybe get into the Carter Heart and as they wait
for the verdict up there, But what do you think
of the draft?

Speaker 6 (24:13):
I mean, I'm not a draft expert, I never like
claimed to be. And there's a lot of draft enough
draft experts on Twitter where I scouted this guy, I
had this guy ranked here. I never seen the guy
play in person once. Like the ship, you can learn
by seeing a guy playing person over what you can
see in a highlight video package. Men, I don't even

(24:36):
want to see a guy's highly packages. I don't care.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
I want to see what he does highlights.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
I mean you don't see the Everyone.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
Looks good in highlights, right, yeah.

Speaker 6 (24:43):
I mean you can make anybody look like you know,
you can find highlights for anybody. I want to see
how a guy reacts on the bench after he screws
up and makes a bad player takes a dumb penalty
and they get scored up. I don't see any interacts
with his coach. I want to see how he interacts
with his teammates. If I'm a scout, I want to
know how he and with the equipment staff, the medical staff.
I want to know if is he a guy that's

(25:05):
very coachable, Is he a winner? Is he a winner?
Or is he a whiner?

Speaker 3 (25:08):
Right?

Speaker 6 (25:09):
Like you have those guys. So those are the things
I want to know. So I'm no draft expert, but
you know based on reading people that I do trust,
guys like Bob McKenzie, who does a pole of the
of thirty NHL scouts, or Craig Button or you know McCay, Grant, McCaig,
you know, some of the bigger ones that you know
that I think I have a high level of you know,

(25:31):
ability to do that job because they did it as scouts.
I love the pick a part of Martona. I don't
care that he's a winger. Your best players don't have
to be centers. They can be wingers. Look at the
Tampa Bay Lightning. Their best player is a winger and
that's Nikita kucher Off. Yeah, I mean you look at
look at Dallas now their best players is Ranton and

(25:51):
he's a winger. It doesn't matter. And I like Martonal,
like the body said, they need to get bigger. He's
a big body. And we all seen what Florida has
done go back playing kind of bully hockey, and and
I think that that really matters in the playoffs, especially
if you want to advance. You got to have some
size and be able to wear down an opponent. So
I like the pick of Porter Martone as far as

(26:12):
Jack Nesbit goes the other second round pick. Look, I
think when you have two picks, the first one you
picked the best player available and you don't over complicate it.
Do you have another first round pick, or you move
up to get a guy like they did at twelve.
You can take a little bit of a swing there.
I think you have to take a swing sometimes to
be able to take a little risk to get a
huge reward because you have known of Porter Martoon, who

(26:34):
you feel is going to be very very good, without question.
So I don't have a problem with the nes but
pick he's got work to do. Is skating is I
mean taking.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
A swing where you are where you are with a
second round pick said is skating isn't all that great?
And his puck handling because it may not needs improvement.
They only need to improvement.

Speaker 6 (26:51):
I get that he's so big, like he hasn't filled
out yet. He looks like a baby draft in a
lot of ways. You know when they're born are kind
of clumsy. Big guys don't look oh absolutely gifted skaters. Yeah,
some guys come out of the wombs get like Paul
coffee or a car, you know, or those guys. Some
guys come out of the woman. And I mean there's

(27:12):
been marginal bad skaters that have had very laud Drew's
gonna be a Hall of famer. He's not a good skater,
not a great skater, kind of leans back. He's like
almost like a rocking chair, Like it's a weird stride,
Like it's not pleasing to watch. How good has he been?
The guy's got over a thousand points, you know, so
you can do that, and that takes some work. That's

(27:34):
something you can develop. And like with Marton, I think
you just need to get a lot of movement out
of his body. To me, you don't have to strip
him all the way down to the studs to rebuild
a skating You just got to get the arms, the
core and everything under control because he's wasting movement and
wasting energy with all the stuff moving around, So you
just want to make them more efficient. And then the
second round picks, I thought that they did really well.
Again I'm no draft expert, but based on you know,

(27:57):
they got with the defenseman. They end up with the
guy that would have been first round and he's not
been hurt. Towards the end of this year, so you
got first round value in the second round, pending his
health for these young of these kids, these are the
young kids, and they're not shaving yet. I mean when
you see him for the first time, like you've been there, Joe,
Like you see a draftic, you're like, Jesus God, you

(28:19):
just get out of middle school, Like it looks like that.
Like you see the NFL guys, they're all men, right,
So I mean you're talking about seventeen and eighteen year
old kids. There's a lot to It's a really hard
prognostication to make. But we'll see where it goes. I
like where Danny and Jones you're taking things. I like
what they did in free agency because I wasn't expecting
much and they didn't give out term so they didn't

(28:39):
get Goofy.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
So I was watching Porters press conference and he said,
he's trying to make the team this year. You think
it's possible.

Speaker 6 (28:49):
I do. I think with Tyson Forster route that maybe
even helps it a little bit. He's gonna be out
for a period of time. But they got to make
a decision because I think you have to make a
decision whether he's gonna make the team or he's not
going to make the team almost before camp soon. I
think in the next three weeks, you gotta make this
decision because I don't think going back to the HL
and playing junior does him any good. I don't. I

(29:11):
don't think it develops his game. I think it it
becomes too easy for him and he develop some bad
habits because you're not challenged enough. I think if he's
going to not be in the NHL, he needs to
be in the NC Double A, And if he's in
the NC Double A, he can't go to training camp,
not allowed to. So I think he should go to
Penn State, line up against next to Gavin McKenna, go

(29:35):
win a national championship with Penn State, turn pro. After
that you can join the Flyers as soon as the
Frozen four is over and start with Penn State. He
hasn't signed with anybody, but he can go there now
because of this new rule where you can go from
the HL like McKenna did with the NIL and he
can go to Penn State, or he can go to
Michigan or I would state Boston University is where you're

(29:57):
not enough. He beat you guys. Go to Penn State's
doing great and Guy Getowski's done a great job with there.
I'm gonna um so I'm boosting right now.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
All right, well be you just took you out in
the tournament, so there you go for well maybe not
next year.

Speaker 6 (30:10):
With Gavin mccanna, they are's been.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
Very impressive for a team that just joined D one.

Speaker 6 (30:16):
Yeah, I mean there are but ten years in now,
but yeah, Guy got Aski he's done a great jaw.
You used to be a Princeton and he's done a
great job there think their first Frozen four last year
and landing Gavin mccanna, Like, it's so easy to me
to like recruit a Canadian kid from like the prairies
of Saskatchewan. There you go, all right, come down here
and we're gonna have a couple of hockey players and
a couple of football players show you to campus. Right,

(30:37):
this Canadian kid been up there. You know, everybody's all
bundled up there in Saskatchewan. They come down here, they go,
they walk through to Penn State campus and they're like
Jesus Christ, look at this, like everybody walking around and
then in mini skirts and then all the girls and everything.
You treat like a god up there.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
You do have someone on our on our staff here
on our fourth year that actually works with the Florida
Uh the what do they call the ice skaters?

Speaker 6 (31:04):
Nice down there?

Speaker 1 (31:05):
And uh so they've gone to Division one. Tell us
about the program is and and Jason you know this.
I mean, listen, we talk about how Florida hockey has
gotten great. Listen to these guys. Are they're professionals and
they come from all other areas or not? Like yeah,
reading down there with the Tampa Bay and none of
them banthers. But is it is there a migration at

(31:26):
all to hockey coming a little more south than used
to be.

Speaker 6 (31:31):
Women's hockey too? Like you talk about that like the
growth of women's I'll tell my story after she speaks,
But it's the growth of women's hockey. Is it's remarkable
to Memkable?

Speaker 1 (31:42):
It is remarkable? Is tell us about you? I mean
you work with the guys, right.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Yeah, I do.

Speaker 5 (31:48):
Well, it's still like a club hockey team, but it's
been fun to see everyone. It's pretty big. You went.
I think like a lot of the SEC schools have
like club hockey teams, but they all do, so.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
I'm wondering, is it at all migrating south at all
is there's just too much, I guess dude.

Speaker 6 (32:06):
Arizona is their college hockey team is one of the
best teams in D one Arizona and Arizona State.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
Huge.

Speaker 6 (32:13):
Yeah, it is migrating. It's become a sport that before
it was a sport of Do I have rinks around me?
And then you could tell the high level players. Do
I have enough rinks and players around to have a
high level team for me to come up through the
ranks from square to peewee, toban them to midget and
the whole thing. But you know, you look at it

(32:36):
and more and more. Austin Matthews from Arizona, Shane as
Spare from Flora, New York is from out in Anaheim
in Orange County. You know, like all these places, non
traditional hockey markets are producing players all over the country.
And then like the women's hockey, like I mean I
coached for twenty years and going into the rink or

(32:56):
going to Iceland or wherever, there's as many girls running
around the rink with hockey bags as there is boys,
totally and high level too, Like in this area. The
girl that graduated from Downytown, this year.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
Ava.

Speaker 6 (33:10):
I can't remember her last name. She's insane, Like she
had like ninety two goals in her Flyer's Cup career
over the four years. Like I'm not even kidding about
the numbers. She scored like eight goals a game. I
was on the ice with her one time during the pandemic.
A buddy of mine, Jamie Lemmark, who was a ninth
overall pick for the New York Rangers ninety nine along

(33:32):
with Pavel Brenda, was the other first round pick that year.
He ran the training facility above ice line and where
the training all kinds of hockey players and stuff like that,
and during the pandemic when the rinks was shut down,
called me one day he said, what are you doing today?
I'm going to run a clinic because he ran clinics too,
with a bunch of people with the rink was closed.
But you know, we got in and me and my

(33:52):
son went over and he's like, I need a goalie,
so I need you to come. So I put on
my gear, I go out there. There's some of these
high level Tier one girl out there. This chick rang
one off the grill first shot. I'm like, oh, that's
gonna be bombing it like I was, like, unbelievable. Really,
it's awesome to see. I love love the fact that

(34:14):
the game has grown the way it has, between the
way it's growing geographically all over and to the girls
side of it, because I think there's so much opportunity
for scholarships and all that stuff, and it's awesome to see.
And I'm telling you the rival between US and Canada
and the girls game is awesome. Like they're freaking vicious.
So it's great. I just love the growth of the

(34:35):
game in the USA. Hockey's done a great job.

Speaker 4 (34:37):
Well, don't forget to tip our hats to Mental Rayom,
who I think didn't she play in a preseason game
or something for the Lightning.

Speaker 6 (34:44):
About twenty five years ago?

Speaker 4 (34:45):
Maybe yeah, sorry, Cammi Granado played an NHL game. I
once stated a girl that played with Cammi Granado that's
the extent of my women's.

Speaker 6 (34:56):
She was great too. I mean, you have Wickenheiser, Healy
Wick and eis Her and great female players all over.
You had the Lamorello Twins. I played for Team U
s A. I have a chance to see them, speak
with them a few times. They're great. Yeah, it's awesome
to see, is he Where did you play? Like you're
not just involved that you're not playing. You didn't play right.

Speaker 5 (35:17):
I actually played field hockey in high school. I don't like,
I don't play like actual ize hockey. I never did.
I don't know if I can. I don't know if
i'd be good at.

Speaker 6 (35:27):
That, but sure you would be good.

Speaker 5 (35:29):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
I used to work for the Philadelphia Bulldogs. Does anyone
remember the roller hockey team? Yeah, Ken Hawley was a
Flyers pick and Ted Dant and those guys and actually
al mcinness brother, I guess, the lesser one played for
the for the Bulldogs and she played.

Speaker 6 (35:45):
Because like could he shoot it like his brother?

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Well, later I'm like, yeah, what's out do? What do you?
What's the difference between you guys? Except for like four
million dollars a year? But I mean those guys could
play at that level. But that that Pucket, that level
was like one hundred and fifteen. I mean that was
she got rang up pretty good. But yeah, I think
she did play it in an NHL game once, and

(36:10):
it is getting huge kind of Stoga has like a
couple of teams now and it's just like you mentioned Downingtown.
It's as normal as it was when I played. It
was just all guys back then in the day.

Speaker 6 (36:19):
Yeah, all of them girls teams. Now it's it's fantastic.
Rus really good Westchester, East Henderson, all the teams around
me and it's awesome to see. And high school hockey
is very healthy around here still too, which is great.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
Getting here. One thing I did want to ask you
about because he was a very popular flyer and he's
involved in that. He hasn't played in a while. Carter
Hart and did some research on the trial. You know,
I think about what's going on is I know they're
waiting for a verdict. It's gonna be a bench trial
now because there was sort of.

Speaker 6 (36:48):
A they kicked out the jury.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
Yeah, they just still eliminated and went to a bench trial.
I mean, I don't think that can happen in this country,
but it's Canada. Judge is going to make a decision
the twenty fourth. Carter Hart's the only one who actually
testified of the five. There was a little something going
on between him and and the uh, the girl in question,
and he admitted it and but he you know, he
said that it wasn't didn't happen like she she said

(37:13):
it happened. What are your thoughts on that, about what
you know and how do you think that's going to
go because he uh, I guess the murder come what's
at the eighth the URDA.

Speaker 6 (37:20):
Comes out twenty fourth? Twenty fourth's yeah, come on in twenty fourth.
I fouled it a little bit, and you know, just
kind of reading up on it through TSN and stuff
like that. I mean, there's some some questionable things. She
took money a long time ago from Hockey Canada to
make it go away, So I don't I don't know

(37:42):
how that kind of goes into the judgment. I don't
know it, like I don't know what happened in that room,
and I mean, I think, what my I don't know
how the Canadian legal system works, but from what I understandings,
they don't determine whether you're guilty or innocent. They determine
whether you're not proved innocing you're proven not guilty. So

(38:06):
there's a semantic difference there, right.

Speaker 4 (38:08):
Not necessarily when it comes to getting back into the NHL,
though that might know that's that's selective morality, that's a
good NHL.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (38:15):
Look, everybody's outraged as a player until they can help
them in sports and so they can help them win,
which is selective morality, There's no doubt about it. I
think the likeliest of outcomes is that most of them
are either knocked down to a misdemeanor or not charged
at all, and Michael McLeod is convicted of the serious offenses.

(38:41):
That's my take on it. Again, I didn't sit on that.
I don't know, but if that is what indeed happens,
he will find a job in the NHL, likely in
his hometown of Edmonton.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
Yeah. I saw some things that said it might be
ed that's because that's right around with free agency too.

Speaker 6 (38:57):
Well, free agency has already happened, and Edmonton didn't doing
anything about goaltending, and we all know they need to
do something about Golden I think they're waiting.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
They were exposed a little bit, yep.

Speaker 6 (39:06):
I mean, when you're putting camp cow pickard in there
has been waved six times, including including by the when
the flyers wave vehicle stending. You know, I might be
telling you as.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
Bob at one point and didn't didn't hang on to
Bob and he saw he's going to be a Hall
of Famer at some point.

Speaker 6 (39:24):
Yeah, he's disgusting how good he is.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
He's so good. A couple of cups, three finals in
a row, a.

Speaker 3 (39:29):
Couple of guys don't act like the Flyers got short change.

Speaker 6 (39:33):
That's like getting a case of the crabs for giving
up something good.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
Here's a week got and they gave him twenty three
million to go away Priscala.

Speaker 6 (39:42):
But I think they're done now. I think I hope
him and Bobby been in right.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
Good stuff, guys, Jason, we really appreciate it, man. Good
luck bring back anytime.

Speaker 3 (39:55):
Guys.

Speaker 6 (39:56):
I appreciate you having me on it. By the way,
this weekend over the Flyers Training Center on Saturday, Uh,
they're having a charity game over there, Flyers Cancer Warriors.
I just put on my buddy Frankie James. They're having
a benefit for me. They're having a three on three
tournament coming up on Saturday over there, which would be
very cool.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
Awes.

Speaker 6 (40:16):
Yeah, So I'm gonna get out there on Saturday. I mean,
my wife are gonna go over and and you know,
see everybody as long as I can hang and like
Frankie put it all together, He contacted me when when
kind of this first started and said, I want to
do something. This is what he said he wanted to do,
and I'm all forgetting the game on the ice and

(40:36):
there's gonna be there's like twelve teams or something. It's
gonna be fantastic. So Saturday, Yeah, this Saturday at the
Flyers training Center. I think the Championships rounds start at
like two o'clock, So if anybody wants to swing by
and check it out very quick, special jerseys and pucks
and everything made, it's gonna be sick phenomenal.

Speaker 1 (40:54):
I think it's awesome Flyers putting that together, Flyers helping
them with that.

Speaker 6 (40:57):
Yeah, they've done, like done some help with getting the
ice and all that kind of stuff. So yeah, I
think you put everything together kind of on his own
with the Chirping Box podcast and looking forward to it.
I think I'm supposed to just go in and promoted
with President and Steve on Friday too.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
Talk about nice. Yeah, I've heard I've heard you doing
that doing the round. That's awesome, man, good luck. We'll
try to promote that as well and get people out there.

Speaker 6 (41:20):
Awesome, fantastic boys, is he thank you very much appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
Brother. We'll talk to you soon, all right.

Speaker 3 (41:26):
I'll keep you posted on Master Puppets.

Speaker 6 (41:28):
Good luck.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
So well, let's focus on the intro and then we'll
go for that.

Speaker 6 (41:35):
The intro. It's easy, get to the breakdown and then
we'll talk. All right, boy, see you guys.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
Jay, he's some mertiitis from the Philadelphia Flyers. Good stuff, guys,
good stuff. All right, let's uh, let's go into it.
I won't say lightning round. Let's talk about some other things, Alex.
I know it is just one of your topics. Alex
Uh Cooper kind of try to do her own Harry Carrey,
you know, take me out to the ballgame, and wasn't

(42:02):
received too well. What are your thoughts on Ni Alex
Cooper fiasco that was the other day at the because
she's a big podcaster and she blew up. She was
initially she was doing something that was kind of little
slanted towards women, right, and she kind of blew up,
and but she's taking a lot of heat for her
her vocals the other day.

Speaker 5 (42:21):
Yeah, I think it was just because like she kind
of made it a joke and I mean, listening to
it it's like objectively not really that funny. So I
think she kind of.

Speaker 1 (42:32):
Swinging to this, well that was kind of like, didn't
Rosie kind of who's.

Speaker 3 (42:37):
The one who? Roseanne? And she that's right, Roseanne.

Speaker 4 (42:42):
She grabbed her crotch and spit and she like really
tried to like I is, he said, like trying to
make a comedy out of it, which I think we
have enough tape now to know that it doesn't go well, Like,
that's not what people want jokes.

Speaker 1 (42:54):
Made, I mean, especially if they're not.

Speaker 4 (42:58):
I remember years ago I opened a Battle of the Bands.
I wasn't playing it, but they wanted me to open
it with a Jimmy Hendricks version of the Star Spangled Banner.
I almost got pulled off by somebody because I was
disgracing it, and I was like, this is note for
note how he did it? Even that, People get real
sensitive when you mess with their songs, especially you know,
God Bless America or whatever it is to take me

(43:18):
out to the ballgame. People don't like that stuff messed with.
I wasn't even doing anything wrong for.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
The record, What were you doing? How could you mess
that up? He was doing? He was stringing it.

Speaker 3 (43:30):
Yeah, I played it note for no, I learned all
the bombs dropping and all that stuff, right, But.

Speaker 4 (43:35):
That was it was just like he did it, and
I guess there was an educator there.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
It was done at a school that was that thought.

Speaker 4 (43:42):
I was just like, you're an educator and you've never
heard Jimmy Hendrix at Woodstock.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
I mean, I mean, it is what was she? I
mean I saw some clips of it. She it wasn't
the greatest singer, but what was she? She had two
people behind her that were kind of like the doo
wop girls or whatever they were.

Speaker 5 (43:58):
Yeah, they were like background the.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
Background actually so well, it wasn't exactly received so well
if you were breaking.

Speaker 5 (44:07):
It down, I think like just the fact that she
like kind of made it into a joke, like used
a weird voice doing it too. I think if she
like just sang it normally, no one would have really cared.
But I mean usually those people that do the seventh
inning stretch like don't really get food.

Speaker 1 (44:27):
So yeah, regally that's pretty big. Uh, that's a pretty
big deal.

Speaker 4 (44:33):
We take that seventh inning stretch very seriously, except when
Bill Mary does it.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
Bill Merry do it anyway once.

Speaker 4 (44:40):
But like kind of like, as he said, tons of
people just try and sing it the way you. Everyone
can't sing, so they're not expecting this incredible performance. But
when you try and joke around and you can't sing, well,
now everyone just wants to go get a beer or something.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
Well, let me ask you, this is she when she
does her I've got to be honest, never seen her podcast.
I told you I was look in a Valice Cooper
when I saw the Toppers, So so what does she is?
She does she try to be funny on her show?
Is she sort of a comedian? Because every time I

(45:14):
see a comedian asked to do something like that, I
think they think they have to be funny. So like
Roseanne had to do something because people think she's you know,
Will Ferrell every time he does something Bill Murray. They
have to do something, even though and sometimes it comes
off for us.

Speaker 5 (45:30):
I think maybe at first she was trying, like when
the podcast first started a couple of years ago, she
was trying to be more funny, like more relatable, more
geared towards women in general with her content. But in
the past couple of years where she's kind of blown
up and gotten a lot more money for it. She's
had on guests like Kamala Harris, like Jane Goodall. So

(45:52):
it's very much more of a different vibe now than
it used to be. So I wouldn't really think that
she would try to still be super like funny. I
never really thought she was the funniest, but I guess.

Speaker 1 (46:05):
She thought, if you don't have a great voice, let's
kind of try to, like, you know, change the subject here.

Speaker 4 (46:10):
So is he before this incident or anything? Were you
a regular listener? You just caught clips?

Speaker 3 (46:14):
Did you know anything?

Speaker 5 (46:16):
She will interview people off like reality TV or celebrities
that like, maybe I'm interested in, but I'm not like
a weekly listener or anything.

Speaker 1 (46:25):
Keeping with the Women's Team the w n B, A,
you know, Saquan was on mad and it looks like, uh,
your your girl. Angel Reiche made it to the what
is it the y or the K twenty six cover
of what is their video that they do their video
game the w NBA. But she's on the cover, Angel Reese,
what did you think of that? So basically, I guess

(46:46):
you're saying Caitlin Clark got snubbed a little bit.

Speaker 3 (46:50):
Is this directed to me? Because it's I can't stand
Angel Reese.

Speaker 4 (46:57):
That's why I guess she's gonna she's gonna debut her
new sneaker and she's just you know, all right.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
No rebound. She does need twelve and a half.

Speaker 4 (47:07):
I think, well, she's crushing those me bounds bounce. I
don't know if you saw this week or this is
the other day. I don't is he do you follow
it like we You do me a huge favor and
follow the stiffs stuff. So people, I have someone here
to talk to about Angel reason how much I can't
stand her.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
I don't even care. If you like her, you can
stick up for I don't care.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
I'll start to watch too.

Speaker 3 (47:24):
I don't believe you for the weeks. You've known about
this for a while and you haven't done it.

Speaker 4 (47:29):
So this week I saw a clip where I guess
both teams went to their bench and a coach went
up to talk to Angel, and she decided to smack
the clipboard out of her coach's hand. I mean, I
just think she's so just if she's classless.

Speaker 7 (47:45):
She clashless and the whole thing with the whole Some
of the social media comments like boy racism is alive
and well in this country geez, like you can hate her.

Speaker 3 (47:56):
Without starting that crab geeze, and and I do.

Speaker 4 (48:00):
I can't stand her, but when she not so somebody
did wonder if after she knocked the clipboard out of
her hand, if she got the she picked it up
and got the rebound. She got her own me bound.
So I don't know if there's an NBA curse. I
don't even know anyone that really plays NBA on video games.

Speaker 3 (48:21):
I guess people do, but I didn't. How long have
they actually had a W NBA version? They should have had.

Speaker 2 (48:29):
It three years now, it's the whole So I was
looking at it's w it's the NBA two K twenty six,
but then it has the W NBA edition, so I'm
assuming it's you get that plus everything else.

Speaker 4 (48:43):
Okay, great, Yeah, So I'm wondering because is he do
you know anything about these games at all?

Speaker 1 (48:50):
Not?

Speaker 5 (48:50):
Really?

Speaker 3 (48:51):
All right?

Speaker 4 (48:51):
What would have been so cool? I'll have to figure
it out what her rating is in that game. I
want to know what it's like to play with Angel
Reese and the game is she completely inept? Can't make
layups in the game too, Like they have to put
something in there like that, right, She's terrible. She is
so brutal to watch, and she is so self centered. Wait,

(49:15):
why is in her own sallopism is discussed?

Speaker 1 (49:17):
I mean SHEI Kuan got it because he was the
It was off the charts this year and it was
well deserved and won a championship. Angel Reche is always
involved in something.

Speaker 3 (49:27):
That's a nice way to put it.

Speaker 1 (49:28):
But she she does lead the league in something, whereas
you know Caitlyn Clark. Okay, she's about fifth or six
and three pointers per game, eighteen points per game, which
is good. I think twenty four is illegally, but she's
in the top ten. You wanted to go with probably
Kaitlyn Clark, yes, or someone else, just someone else like
the field other than Angel Reach.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
I have her rating from last year.

Speaker 1 (49:49):
I'm talking to you, michaeh is easy.

Speaker 3 (49:53):
This like everything.

Speaker 4 (49:54):
Make one Angel Reese comment a month ago and now
you're the resident.

Speaker 2 (49:58):
W NBA senior happened Angel Rees quiz for Mikah too.

Speaker 3 (50:02):
I won't get it.

Speaker 4 (50:05):
I think Kaitlyn Clark's the obvious answer, but she may
have been last year for all I know. I don't
play sports video. I don't hardly ever touch video games
at all. Maybe this is an opportunity to.

Speaker 3 (50:15):
Not have Caitlin Clark on something, which might be a
good idea.

Speaker 4 (50:18):
If people are gonna buy that game, they're gonna buy
the game regardless of who's on the cover.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
They already did the Olympics. You left her out with that.
You left her out on the game. I mean, you're trying.

Speaker 4 (50:27):
To get me stuff, You're trying to get me started.
I'd rather they left her off that. But there's other
there's other players that are good in the w NBA
that more people will come to know because of Caitlin Clark.

Speaker 3 (50:39):
I don't know just Angel Rees, but I will.

Speaker 4 (50:43):
And I've said this before the fact that like someone
like me can't stand Angel Reese. Now, all of a
sudden on a day when they come on, I'm like, oh,
I want to watch this. I go out of my
way to watch it. I want to see Angel Rees
just because I dislike her. And I've said this before.
Muhammad Ali, tons of people watch Muhammad Al. He half
wanted to see him win half one of the same.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
Hey, your buddy up top. He used to hate me
when he would listened to me in Minnesota, but still
listen to me, all right.

Speaker 2 (51:09):
I texted him the other day. I was like, Howard.

Speaker 1 (51:12):
Stern Factor because you like them, and half listen to
you because you don't. You're right though, you watch I
will watch a game with the Chicago skuy because Angel
Reese is going to be She might she might knock
a clipboard out of someone's hands. She might knock a
back of popcorner. She might do something angel reich ish.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
So there's people that watched NASCAR for the.

Speaker 1 (51:31):
Accidents, yes, that's correct, and Hockey for the fights. Maybe, yes, exactly.
I'm still here. People they got fighting until that, you know,
but okay, I mean, I'm not sure why she was picked,
but she was picked. Let's move on because there was
some good topics. And if we got to thank you
for the topics, is we young has a situation? Their
quarterback looked like he was going to get a seven

(51:52):
game suspension because he admitted he had premarital section. You're
not supposed to do that. And among the Mormon group
up there by the way, I just saw a thing
on who was the head of the Mormons? Bad dude,
Joseph Smith. Did you watch that documentary? They don't make
the Mormons you know how to look real good at
least him the way he started things.

Speaker 2 (52:13):
Your boy's a Mormon.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
What's that?

Speaker 2 (52:16):
Your boy is a Mormon?

Speaker 1 (52:19):
Who are you like?

Speaker 2 (52:20):
Big Red?

Speaker 3 (52:20):
Now?

Speaker 1 (52:21):
He's not my boy Romney. Now I've come to like
I've come to like Big Red a little bit.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
In one way?

Speaker 3 (52:30):
Why are you such an andy hater?

Speaker 1 (52:32):
Hater? I just think he was a bump anyway.

Speaker 4 (52:35):
He's got to go that extra step, right, I just
got to go the one sentence too many.

Speaker 1 (52:42):
So what do you think about the situation with I mean,
it's not against the law, but they're looking to move him,
maybe because he broke the rules up there in terms
of because there was a whole thing that got dropped
or parallel a legend rape situation. It's knocking happened, but
he might not be quarterbacking for BYU. But what do

(53:03):
your take? What's your take on that because of admitting
to premarital sex. Technically, if you drink die coke up there,
that would be a violation of the rules. You're not
how to have caffeine.

Speaker 4 (53:13):
So I don't know what the situation was with a
potential sexual assault, but that's a lot different anymore.

Speaker 1 (53:20):
I think well that got dropped, but I think that's
how he came to it.

Speaker 4 (53:23):
Okay, so are they using premarital sex as a reason
to get rid of them even though the charges were dropped.

Speaker 3 (53:28):
That's a possibility.

Speaker 4 (53:30):
But you go to that school knowing the rules. I
can sit here and tell you what I think of
those rules. But it doesn't matter if they say this
is the deal, doesn't matter what it is. It's kind
of like in football, if orange juice was a banned substance,
all right, well then you're not allowed to have orange juice.
Doesn't matter if there's anything wrong with it.

Speaker 3 (53:47):
That was the rule. You signed up for it. So
if that's the rule at BYU and I don't have
a reason to that.

Speaker 1 (53:52):
Way, what do you think it's a stupid rule?

Speaker 6 (53:55):
Huh?

Speaker 1 (53:55):
What do you think? I think it's a stupid role?

Speaker 3 (53:57):
If I think it is, or if I'm.

Speaker 1 (53:59):
Doing do you think are stupid? And you do him anyway?
Or don't care about and you're like, cares a stupid rule.

Speaker 4 (54:05):
You could think that all you like, but there's gonna
be consequences if someone else doesn't think it's a stupid rule.

Speaker 2 (54:09):
I mean, your your It's like I lived by the
Ten Commandments. You know, if I break one of those rules,
apparently I'm going to help.

Speaker 1 (54:18):
So I mean we know where, we know where to
find you.

Speaker 2 (54:21):
Oh bro, I already got already.

Speaker 1 (54:22):
Got the.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
Right there with you. Keep it warm down there for you.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
Twenty touchdowns three under George Pass. I think if he
was like a four string quarterback, no one would raise
an eye. But he he's pretty good quarterback and looks
like that's gonna.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
So Who's where's he going? Michigan?

Speaker 3 (54:44):
Is Ki Junior long gone?

Speaker 1 (54:47):
Both Tye and Koy?

Speaker 4 (54:48):
Yeah, and of course coll Tye was a KOI was Colorado,
but Koy Junior went to b y U right.

Speaker 3 (54:58):
I was friends with his mom.

Speaker 2 (55:00):
Bicyca hamma on. See see what his thoughts are.

Speaker 3 (55:05):
Jim McMahon, I bet he followed no premaral sex.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
Never Jim.

Speaker 1 (55:15):
Come on, he had the glass sunglasses all the time.

Speaker 2 (55:17):
Man. He made the Eagles helmet look so freaking cool with.

Speaker 1 (55:20):
That or right that dark visor.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
He was the best.

Speaker 1 (55:24):
He always got kid couldn't run later or something, but
he was.

Speaker 2 (55:30):
He was so cool back in the day.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
Man, he was definitely cool.

Speaker 3 (55:35):
What was written on his headband in Chicago.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
Roselle, What do you put on?

Speaker 3 (55:43):
I think he was just doing whatever to antagonize.

Speaker 1 (55:45):
Of course he was. He got fine for the rose
Elle thing in the Super Bowl. Why why don't we
put Jim McMahon up with They say, you know, Chicago
was not never hasn't had a good quarterback since oh god,
back Lane. It wasn't he, I was before him. But anyway, McMahon,
why wouldn't he get put in there?

Speaker 4 (56:05):
McMahon, Yeah, Jim put in for what I mean, he
was Chicago's last really good quarterback.

Speaker 1 (56:11):
Yeah, but he never gets he never gets. They always say,
since Kayleb Williams, they talk about it wasn't Bobby Lane,
who was the quarterback? Then?

Speaker 3 (56:21):
Look good Luck? I'm sorry said Luck was that was
the name I was like, but not Boby Lane.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
Luck.

Speaker 3 (56:26):
I think Lane was Detroit.

Speaker 1 (56:28):
Bobby Lane was Detroit.

Speaker 4 (56:29):
Yeah, sorry, sid Luck. I was thinking the right way.
Uh no, but they never had a four thousand yard passer.
That's where like the Caleb Williams stuff comes in. Jim
McMahon was their best quarterback in franchise history. But you
know after that Super Bowl that following year was when
he got slammed on his shoulder and he was just
never right. He was never the same after that.

Speaker 1 (56:50):
He wasn't the same after that. But I think when
you look back in Chicago history, they never bring him up.
I always talked about sid Luck before Kayley Williams. Is
it only because of the four thousand yards? I mean,
is Jay then ever going to throw for four hip
cares like he wins? He goes to the Super Bowl wins?

Speaker 2 (57:05):
My favorite, my favorite, favorite fun fact about what we're
talking about. Chicago produced a pope before a quarterback who
throws for four thousand yards.

Speaker 1 (57:15):
Yeah, I'm sorry I said that one more time. I
couldn't hear that one, all.

Speaker 2 (57:19):
Right, Sorry, Chicago produced a pope before a quarterback who
throws for four thousand yards.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
I wanted to ask guy from Bill over that guy, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (57:31):
Exactly, And I wanted to ask him a question because
he's a huge white.

Speaker 3 (57:34):
Sox fan apparently.

Speaker 4 (57:35):
Yeah, and that's how it would go over, you know, Jean,
if we ever get him on the show, which will
work on it?

Speaker 3 (57:40):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (57:41):
I want to ask him. You know, you're obviously a
man of the cloth. Have you said the Lord's name?
Have you said Jesus Christ? More? In a chapel or
when watching The White Sox.

Speaker 3 (57:52):
I bet he'd appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
He would, That would be a great one.

Speaker 4 (57:56):
Yeah, show, I'll be the one to ask it.

Speaker 2 (58:00):
Does he have a Twitter handle? Does he have social
media like the Pope Francis?

Speaker 3 (58:04):
Did you want to go after him?

Speaker 1 (58:06):
That's why you want to you want to playing or something?
My goodness? Overreaction on your reaction? Should we do that segment?
Should we say over for next time?

Speaker 4 (58:20):
Well, we already, we're already an hour and yeah, we're already,
and maybe we'll have we'll have.

Speaker 3 (58:26):
Is these rollover topics.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
Because he does a phenomenal job of splitting.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
I can't wait to see what she puts up on
this show.

Speaker 1 (58:35):
This was a good one because because at some point
it came off the rails a little bit, which I
like those.

Speaker 3 (58:40):
That's fine.

Speaker 4 (58:41):
When you cut this stuff up, just make sure it's
mostly me and then if there's time, if there's time
for Joe and Sean.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
Hey, no worries. Your makeup looks straight, by the way, Micah,
