Episode Transcript

(00:00):
We should do our first merch should be posting through it
Comics. Absolutely not.
So the 1st or the 1st? So let's just get let let's just
get to it, guys. I know you guys want to you guys
are doing the dishes. You're in your car.
You want us to get to the to theheart of this.
This is really this is really the centerpiece of the pocket.
This is the single to release. So I'm just going to read the

(00:20):
title real quick. And Jared, you can you can take
the first paragraph, please. The title is Jack Pozobic in all
caps. Colon, the Phillies, Karen and
the Death of American Manhood. Why we're losing our Nation 1
surrender at a time. As a kid growing up in

(00:41):
Norristown, nothing beat a summer night at Veteran Stadium
or the Vet as we called it with my old man.
He loved taking us there, a truePhiladelphia Phillies fan, and
would bring my mom and little brother and the family as often
as he could. Dad was born in the 1950s, a
true son of the City of Brotherly Love, Tough as nails,

(01:02):
quick with a comeback, and builtlike he could go toe to toe with
any Bleacher bum who looked at him sideways.
Fucking give me a fucking break,Jack.
He's like, Jesus Christ, man. We'd snag seats in the upper
deck, red hats on our heads, redhats on our heads, cheering for
the Phillies, especially in 1993.

(01:25):
Like our lives depended on it. And they did, in a way.
Those games weren't just baseball.
They were a ritual of grit wheremen stood their ground.
The fuck? What does that even fucking
mean? Men stood their ground on a
baseball diamond, Yeah. I mean, I guess like.
Isn't that the idea? I don't fucking understand.

(01:46):
Like families bonded over cold beer, Families bonded over cold
beer with the children drinking.1093, Mike.
Yeah, that's right. I was there and soda and foul
balls and nobody, nobody back down from a scrap over a ball.
Really. Really.

(02:08):
They're just, people are just fucking just wailing on each
other with fucking bats in the fucking stands over foul balls.
Well, we can. We can all remember the 1993
Veteran Stadium massacre after afoul ball flew over third base.
Mass shooting over a ball. It goes on.

(02:30):
One time I remember a drunk fan in the row behind us getting
rowdy and spilling my dad's beerall over his lap during a tense
9th inning rally at the vet. My father didn't flinch.
He turned around, stared the guydown and said.
You going to buy me a new one ordo I got to take yours?
The guy laughed. OK, yeah, this is also funnier

(02:53):
just knowing that like, Jack uses a ghostwriter for
everything anyway. Yeah.
The guy laughed, handed over hisfresh one, and that was that.
No apologies, no weakness. That's the Philadelphia my
father taught me to love. The one where real men protected
what was theirs, especially for their sons.
OK, the beer. So much about the beer is the

(03:15):
beer for Jack in this story. There's so much fucking bullshit
already. All right, let's let, let's,
let's start. OK, first of all, there's a
fresh beer in the 9th inning. They stopped serving at the 7th
dipshit. Yeah, I, I mean, I, I, I'm going
to like, let's say I don't actually know, is that, is that
a newer rule? But as far as I know that it's
always been the case. Second of all, even if they

(03:36):
didn't and they sold beer in the9th inning, like what is his
dad? How fucking loaded is his dad
that he's got a fresh beer in the fucking 9th inning?
So Oh my God, I'm going to have to try these fucking kids home.
I better get one more. The lack of specifics is so
fucking telling here. OK, it like he remembers the
guy. The guy had a fresh beer.
The beer was spilled, but it's just a rally in the 9th inning.

(03:59):
You don't remember what the fucking game was.
You don't know what the rally was.
It's just some generic rally. He doesn't know what the fucking
game was. I I'm sorry but people remember
those details. Also, Jack Pesopic is 40 years
old according to a quick Google search, so he would have been at
most nine years old. You're telling me he remembers

(04:21):
the scene as a nine year old? Yeah, I like his dad was like
he's got like an anchor tattooedon both forearms.
Like he's fucking Popeye and he's like, hey, are you going to
buy me a new one or what? OK, Jack, again, Fast forward to
today and that spirit, it's deadas the vet itself take the viral
video from the recent Phillies game.

(04:41):
It's got everyone talking. The so-called Phillies.
Karen who storms up to a father at his young son after the kid
snags A foul ball. The woman decked out in full
entitlement mode. What?
I don't understand what that is.You're decked out in a mode.
I don't know. But yeah, the I don't know.
I'm next time I'm next time I'm,I'm, I'm, I'm dressed up.

(05:03):
I'm going to say I'm decked out in full entitlement mode.
Demands the ball like it's her God-given right.
And what does the father do? He Yanks it right out of his
boy's glove and hands it over. No stare down, no quote.
Back off lady. No nothing.
Just surrender. As I posted on X flag, if I was

(05:24):
a referee, I'd throw a flag right here for citing citing
your own X post. As I posted on X, this is wrong.
She didn't take the ball at all.It was handed to her by a weak
father, and boy did that hit a nerve.
But it's not just about a $10 baseball $10.

(05:45):
This is a microcosm of why our nation is crumbling before our
eyes. We've got emasculated men
everywhere, conditioned by a culture of shame and sensitivity
training to fold at the first sight of conflict.
This dad, he didn't just give away a home run ball.
He handed over his dignity, his son's joy and a teachable moment

(06:09):
in manhood. What's the Freudian analysis of
this? This is just like, you know,
it's just it's just the loss of the penis, right?
It's a, it. Would it be the same same thing
if a guy came over? I mean, it's the it's the Karen.
It's like losing to the Karen. As I tweeted in response to the
excuses pouring in. Jared, throw another flag.
This is another tweet. Quote.

(06:30):
Yeah. And all his father had to do was
agree to be humiliated and disgrace his son in public.
Some of you are so far down the shame while you don't even know
there's a light at the surface. So he's agreeing with his.
Himself. Yeah, he's yeah, This is, This
is. How I know he didn't write this?
This is a level of narcissism that you don't typically find in

(06:50):
the wild. Is he's having a conversation
with his own tweet. Exactly.
He's teaching his boy that when a domineering woman comes
charging in, ah, there it is. A woman fueled by that toxic mix
of entitlement and unchecked aggression.
The proper response is to cave, to prioritize not making a scene
over standing tall. And make no mistake, this Karen

(07:13):
isn't some outlier. She's the new normal in a
society where women like her runroughshod because men won't push
back. Oh yeah, look at the headline.
the United States so dominated, so dominated by women.
It's just like, you know, I mean, it's just, it's just, it's
just pro Dom, pro dominatrixes with fucking whips, just like
absolutely whipping men around as they ride their carriages

(07:36):
through the through the streets of New York City every day.
From your lips to God's ears, Mike.
Look at the headlines from the fake news outlets piling on the
New York Times and Newsweek, spinning it like she took the
ball, as if the father wasn't complicit.
It's a lie that fits their narrative, portraying women as

(07:57):
victims and men as perpetual villains who need to be tamed.
But in reality, this is the emasculation agenda in action.
Men neutered by HR seminars, soylattes, and a media that shames
any display of traditional masculinity.
So it is a penis thing. This is this is like in Jack's
eyes. This dude like basically cut his

(08:19):
Dick off and handed it to. This lady, it's amazing.
I like the I love, I love this phrase, actually.
The emasculation agenda in action.
I would like to see Jack write about his mom.
I think we could probably also find some Freudian stuff in
there. Today we've got fathers who,
instead of defending their turf,except signed bats as
consolation prizes in parentheses, participation

(08:41):
trophies. Like that's going to make up for
the lesson and weakness they just imparted.
As I put it bluntly, Philly again, it's his own fucking
tweets. Philly's Karen got the little
boys baseball and both of his father's.
Oh well, we're getting there, right?
We got the emasculation agenda. It's about wieners too.
Jack's got wieners on the brain.This is on, you know, You know,

(09:04):
it's too bad. It's under the pay wall.
But if anybody can find the mistress, the pro Dom that Jack
sees, please, we need to have her on the show because I think
there's someone out there in theDC metro area who is who is
just, you know, jabbing a candlein Jack's ass.
She walked away with three ballsthat night, folks.

(09:24):
Three. Oh my God, I'm sorry.
I forgot this was even in there.OK, I got to do.
Oh shit. Sorry guys, I forgot this.
Oh man, she. Walked that raw unfiltered shit
that the pre. This is what you get on the
premium feed, folks. She walked away with three balls
that night, folks. 3 This isn't harmless.

(09:45):
It's the slow poison killing America.
When men won't stand up to pettytyrants like this, Karen, and a
baseball game of all places, howcan we expect them to defend our
borders, our families, our very way of life?
Take us out. Oh, here we go.
Our cities are overrun by crime because cops hesitate and

(10:08):
criminals are let out. Our schools are indoctrination
camps because dads stay silent and our culture celebrates simps
over warriors. I'm telling you, Jack, as a
proton. I'm telling you, I'm telling
you, he's simping for somebody for money.
When I think of the United States, I think, man, that's a

(10:28):
place that really, really celebrates simps.
It was. Kind of culture that has that is
definitely not, you know, degrading term used.
I like how this I, I like this is how this is a cross between
like some sort of femdom erotic story and like, also for some

(10:50):
reason, like a like a, a, a, a shelved sequel to RoboCop, like
a, like a just a, you know, our cities are overrun by crime
because men have their balls removed by a Karen.
I'll take us out here. Domineering women thrive in this
vacuum, turning every interaction into a power play.

(11:12):
They win by default. In the media, they amplify it,
lying to protect the narrative that men are the problem.
I care about the country I live in.
That's why I keep calling this out.
Because if we don't reclaim thatkind of grit, that unyielding
fatherly resolve, we're done. Our nation isn't collapsing from

(11:35):
some external force alone. It's rotting from within, one
surrendered foul ball at a time.So to every dad out there, next
time a Karen comes for what's yours, channel my old man.
Stand up, fight back your son and your country.

(11:57):
Well, thank you. Let's make America tough again,
starting right here in the bleachers.
Oh my God. Be like my dad.
Be like a fictional. Who?
A drunk guy knocked a beer out of his hand and he said, hey,
what the fuck you want? You going to buy me a?
You want to buy me another beer?I just want to say shout out to

(12:18):
domineering women. I got your back.
I got your fucking back, domineering women.
