Speaker 1 (00:01):
Greetings and welcome to this special edition of the podcast. So,
unless you've been living under a rock, you are probably
aware as to who the Phillies Karen is. But nonetheless,
let me try to give a quick recap of this
horrendous situation that occurred.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
So during a baseball.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Game between the Phillies and the Marlins on September fifth,
Harrison Bader of the Phillies hit a home run into
to the grand stands.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
As and as is the case in most.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Balls that are hidden into the grandstands at baseball games,
people will scurry to grab the said baseball as a
souvenir to take home. This is where a gentleman ran
over and scooped up the ball from down between the seats.
Nearby was a woman who would eventually become known as
(01:01):
the Phillies Karen. She was also going for the same baseball,
but this guy was quicker than she was, and he
managed to get to the ball first, grab it. Then
he took it back to a kid, which which I
believe was his son, and he gave the ball to
the kid and the kid was happy, and they hugged
(01:22):
and they had a really cool moment of fun and
happiness at a baseball game, but that was soon it
turned sour when the Phillies Karen she comes waltzing over,
actually grabs a guy by the Shirtslee, grabs him by
the arm and demands that he give her the baseball
because he took it from her or she's making some
(01:42):
sort of such accusations, and she starts yelling and braiding
him that it was her ball, he shouldn't have grabbed it,
and she wanted it back. Eventually, he gave the ball
back to her and she went stomping back to her seat.
So you haven't seen any of the viral videos of
this or the pictures this woman. She's got these she
(02:08):
wears a huge ginormous glasses, and she's got this funky
half blonde brunette haircut that looks like a Vogue version
of Mo Howard's haircut.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I mean, she just looks bitchy to look at her.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
And so her tirade didn't stop with the guy with
the baseball. On her way back to her seat, there
was another gentleman wearing a Philadelphia Eagles shirt who started,
I guess, yelling at her for her behavior, and she
starts in on him, yelling and screaming and pitching a
fit before eventually she goes back to her seat. She
turns around, she gives everyone the middle finger, and sits
(02:48):
her ass down. Okay, so that's basically the situation, the
synopsis in a nutshell. Like I said, most of you
probably know what happened here. In fact, I can't remember
any situation that has gone online and has caused such
(03:08):
a rage among the general populace. This bitch is even
making Trump look lovable. Now, However, after the game, things
did turn out good for the kid because Harrison Bader
of the Phillies, the guy who hit the home run,
gave the kid an autographed bat and apparently there's a
(03:29):
lot of other gifts that are coming in for this kid.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
So so this is the.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Case where the kid is actually going to make out
and you know, get what he deserves after the Karen
stole the baseball from him. Now, I do have a questionnaire.
Can't you know this this goes out to law enforcement?
Couldn't we make a case of a theft charge against
(03:53):
this woman because she threatened the guy to give her
the It'd be like someone coming up to me and
threatening me to take my Rolex and then taking it.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Well, that's that's theft.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Could we make a theft charge against her and arrest
her and possibly order a public hanging or at the
very least have her tired and feathered. That would be
very apropos This is clearly a situation where Trump needs
to sit down with his pen and sign some sort
of executive order to punish her. I don't know what
(04:27):
sort of executive order, but I'm sure he'll figure it out.
You know, maybe we could we could have ice deporter
from the country. That would be super cool. And in
the aftermath of all this, this has gone everywhere online yeah,
x Instagram, It's all over the place, and some of
(04:48):
them come up with an alleged name, which may in
fact be the wrong person, so we're not sure of her.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Identity as of yet.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Some of them speculator this woman has even been fired
from her job, which nothing is confirmed there. But I
wouldn't blame any employer for firing her for such action.
And this has prompted some to question the legality of
any employer actually firing a terminating someone for doing this
at a ballgame. Well, yes, actually they can, because a
(05:19):
lot of companies now have policies regarding a person's behavior
outside of the job place, especially when such behavior appears
on social media. And this has appeared all over social media.
So yeah, any any employer would be justified to terminate
her from her job for this. Whether or not that
(05:39):
has actually happened, that's not confirmed. As I said, one
way or the other. Now, some have questioned the the
the actions of the dad for giving in to her
and handing over the baseball.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Well, if you see his.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Reaction when she came up and she grabbed him, he
was startled. Okay, this was something that really shocked him
all of a sudden. You know, him in the in
the in the kid are having a you know, a
great time, and here she comes and just grabs a
hold of him. And she she lays in, you know,
her fangs like a cobra. And I'm sorry if I've
(06:17):
offended her insulted any cobras out there, But yeah, he
was kind of shocked, and I don't think he really
wanted to engage in a lengthy discourse with this person
who was obviously a little unstable. It would appear at
the very least a little berserk or the baseball fiasco,
So he made the decision to take the high road
(06:37):
and just give her the damn ball and let her
have her goddamn way, And that's probably the correct call
because these days, in situations like that, everyone gets arrested. Okay,
not only does she get arrested, but he's gonna get
arrested too, And I'm sure he didn't want that happening
in front of his kid. So yeah, I mean, I
can understand why he backed down the way he did
and just handed it over to her, because in the
(07:00):
long run, he's better off for it.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Take the high road, be the better person. You know.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
If she wants to be the spoiled brat who wants
everything her way, then so be it.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
You can't possibly fight that level of ignorance.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
However, having said all that, if it were me and
she would have grabbed me by the arm like she
did with him, I would have not.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Hesitated to slap the shit out of her.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Okay, it's like, you have no right to even come
up to me when I'm with my kid, let alone
grab hold of me and start getting aggressive. At the
very least, I probably would have gave her a good
swift shove and knocked her down on her ass, which
is exactly what she deserved. But again, that's one of
(07:48):
those situations that gets out of hand very quickly and
people do get injured.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
So, however, with.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Her behavior, she has it coming. And to think of
it is, I hope this woman.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Is proud of herself, whoever the hell she is, because.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
I don't know of anybody since Hitler who has drawn
so much hatred simultaneously by the entire nation. And the
bottom line is, she is the dichotomy of what's so
wrong with so many aspects of the country these days.
(08:29):
She is the typical spoiled, entitled adult who takes to
throwing a tantrum when they don't get what they want
instead of brushing it off like oh whatever, not a problem. No,
because she didn't get that ball because she perceived this
guy took it from her.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
No, he did not take the ball from the bitch.
The bitch was too slow. He was faster. He got
the ball.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Anytime you're in a baseball game, and I've been to
a lot a lot of baseball games at Fenway Park
watching the Red Sox, and a lot of balls going
to grandstands there because the grandstands.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Are relatively close to the field.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
If you've ever been to Fenway, you know, people scramble
to get baseballs, and one person is gonna get the ball.
It doesn't result in a melee, doesn't result in people
screaming at each other and demanding the ball be returned. No,
one person gets the ball. Whoever's quickest, whoever has the
fastest reflexes.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Gets the prize. You had the baseball, Yeah, take it home,
good for you.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
But no, she had the opinion that because he came
over into her quote unquote section, he shouldn't have been
there doing that. No, that's not how it works, honey.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
And what's more, she's probably gonna try in the end
to portray us, portray herself as some sort of a
victim here. She probably appearing on you know, Doctor Phil
or whatever. Eventually, you sh'll probably try to start an
OnlyFans page. But I can't imagine and anybody who'd want
to see her naked other than some horny, undersexed nineteen
(10:06):
year old living in a trailer in the middle of
the desert in perumpt, Nevada. But I can just imagine
one of her poses on the Only Fans where she'd
be laying back nude, holding the stolen baseball right over her.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Twat.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Now there is an image for you, So run that
through your minds for a few minutes if you dare so.
But yeah, let me tell you what's probably gonna go
down here. She is probably going to lawyer up and
hold some sort of a press conference with the baseball,
the stolen baseball on the podium there as she's speaking
(10:45):
with her lawyers, and she's gonna make herself out to
be the person who's in the right here and everyone
else is gonna be wrong. Hopefully she'll change your goddamn
hairdo before all that takes place. You know, she could
just come out and admit that she fucked up big time.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
But no, that's not gonna happen. No, no, no, no, no,
absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
There has been speculation as to whether or not this
woman is actually married, and can you imagine being married
to that woman if she's not attached. I would say
that she would make an ideal espouse for Vladimir Putin. Now,
there would be an ideal match made in heaven, without
(11:31):
a doubt that she could be is Babushka or whatever.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
That would be perfect.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
The Phillies Karen and Vladimir putin together as one a
loving couple, and of course, in my convoluted brain, I
was thinking will be an appropriate response for her in
this in this situation, since she's so obsessed with getting
(12:01):
a baseball, let's say, someone could perhaps arrange to Philly
dump truck with I don't know, maybe twenty thousand baseballs
and deliver it said baseballs to her front yard. No, again,
I'm not encouraging any sort of behavior that could be
construed as problematic, such as dumping thousands of baseballs on
(12:25):
one's grass. But considering how obsessed she is with getting
the baseball, then maybe that wouldn't be such a bad idea.
I'm just, you know, just throwing it out here for discussion.
Not that I'm actually implying or directing anything, thank you.
Just just an idea, just thinking out loud like I
usually do. But if the bitch wants baseballs, will get
(12:47):
her baseballs, more balls than she can handle.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Just saying.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Of course, many are speculating that the Phillies Karen will
be come the hottest number one Halloween costume for twenty
twenty five. If I were to wear that costume for
trigger treating purposes, I would make a point to hang
a bunch of baseballs all over my body just to
(13:19):
complete the effect.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
So is there a moral or a point to all
of this. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
It's like I said, this is the circumstances of the
world in which we live. There are a lot of
miserable Karens out there, but this one is probably the
queen of all of them, undoubtedly. But before I wrap
up this short special episode, let me offer some advice
to this particular Karen to help make this situation right
(13:50):
again and bring sanity back to the online world where
people are in a complete and total rage because of
your actions. Give the fucking ball back to the kid
and then make a genuine goddamn apology not only to
the dad, but to the kid and to the rest
(14:11):
of the world for aggravating us to the point of delirium.
People are going ape shit over this all because of
you and your your selfish demeanor, acting like some goddamn
berserk barbarian. You know the baseball was never yours in
the first place, so give it up and get on
with your excuse for a life. Get some class and
(14:36):
stop acting so nasty. Miserable and pathetic. Now, I know
that you believe the entire universe revolves around you, but
guess what it does not, so deal with it already.
(14:57):
But anyways, I'm starting to hypervent here, so it's probably
soon time for me to put it into this little
shortened episode. I just wanted to get all of this
off my chest and let my feelings known to the world.
I would like to thank you for taking the time
to listen to this miniature episode and hearing me.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Rant.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
For those of you are hearing me for the first time,
please feel afraid to subscribe to my podcast. I think
you'll enjoy my regular verbal assaults. Until next time, have
a good day, try not to steal baseballs from kids,
and so long for now.
Speaker 2 (15:37):

guess what it does not, so deal with it already.
(14:57):
But anyways, I'm starting to hypervent here, so it's probably
soon time for me to put it into this little
shortened episode. I just wanted to get all of this
off my chest and let my feelings known to the world.
I would like to thank you for taking the time
to listen to this miniature episode and hearing me.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Rant.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
For those of you are hearing me for the first time,
please feel afraid to subscribe to my podcast. I think
you'll enjoy my regular verbal assaults. Until next time, have
a good day, try not to steal baseballs from kids,
and so long for now.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Bye bye,

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
