Speaker 1 (00:26):
Well, hello everybody, this is the Philadelphia Eagles podcast, and
as Holy's I'm Jack and joined by Andrew.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I did not sign up for this.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
What I did not tell Andrew that I was gonna
say that. I didn't even plan that until legitimately came
out of my mouth and I was like, I'm gonna
go with this totally fucking maybe maybe not. No, obviously
it's wayfair, strangers, and thank you guys for listening and
coming back to listen to this episode. Obviously, I am
(01:01):
going to be all over the fucking place with this episode,
because well, first of all, we have so much to
talk about just in general from the last two weeks
of everything, and some of it and some of it
is like the best fucking stuff in the world, and
some of it's not at all the best stuff in
(01:21):
the world. Okay, yeah, but I have to start. I'm
gonna start on a high note. The Eagles won the
Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Surprise, done, They've done. Surprise.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
I'm I'm yeah, I'm still I'm every day. We are
recording this on Tuesday, February eleventh. It's been it's not
even been forty eight full hours, and I'm just still
so electrified by that game, and I've cried every day
for at least I mean I cried for four hours
and twenty minutes of the game or however long it was.
(01:57):
Andrew posted fucking pictures of me and our Wayfair and
Discord that are the coffee subs had the uh, the
misfortune of seeing because I was like, really, like, you
could have had me smiling or something.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
No, but yeah, emotion.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yeah, just to point out I need to say this
for the people who have seen those photos. I only I,
I don't know I superstitions are real. Okay, I'm just
gonna start there. Superstitions are real. I hate them. I
hate them with a fiery fashion. However, I do not
wear any Eagles gear when I watch a game because
(02:36):
whenever I do, they fucking lose. So I'm like, as
as much as I wanted to be decked out head
to fucking toe in Birds gear, I just I was
wearing all black. Just all black. No, not a not
a hint of Eagles midnight green, not a whiff but
nothing nothing green. Nothing. Also like on Sunday, February second,
(03:04):
because again we haven't released a podcast since January thirty. First,
on Sunday February second, we went down to the Link
which is where the Eagles play, the Link in Financial Field,
and we attended the Eagles sendoff party. Now we weren't
We didn't actually stay for the Eagles to come out
on stage and set up, but we got a chance
(03:27):
to literally run around the field like me and my
brother in law just were literally fake tackling each other
and like fake toe tapping over in the end zone
like we were about to fall out after catching a football.
It was one of the best fucking experiences ever. It
was a ten dollars ticket. My best friend and her
husband were able to get them for us. We ended
(03:48):
up going to the pro shop. I bought a fucking
Eagles cake pan and bake the fucking cake today on
February eleventh, because again I was gonna do it on
Super Bowl Sunday, but I was like, I can't. I
can't do anything Eagles themed because the loose, which I
know is just ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
One time during the game where I sat on the
couch after having sat at my desk and a play
went bad and she's like, get off the couch right now,
go back to your desk, and I was like.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Dead serious, dead serious.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Okay, I guess I'll just go over here.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Like people. My routine with the Eagles season is texting
my best friend Bridget the whole fucking game, and she
was She actually was supposed to host a party that
we were all invited to, but I was like, if
I go to that party, I'm gonna be wearing Eagles gear.
I can't do that. So I told her. I was like,
(04:45):
I love you, I'm not coming to your party and
she's like, oh, She's like, I didn't hear from you
all week, so I just assumed you weren't coming. And
she's like, and my husband's sick, it's fine. So she
canceled the party, and I was like, oh my god,
my god, Like because when I get decked out for Eagles,
it's not just like oh I put a jersey on,
it's everything, like my hair, my eyes, I have stickers
on my face, like my gloves, my everything. And it's
(05:09):
so hard to just be not in any of that
watching them play because I feel like a shitty fan,
but in my brain I'm like, but I'm the best
fan because I'm doing it because I they'll lose if
I if I do something wrong. They will lost. It's
so stupid. It's so stupid. I know, I listen to
superstitions all the time, and I'm like, that's fucking ridiculous.
Why waste your time. But they're there for a reason.
(05:32):
They're perpetuated for a reason. Oh okay, hey, look, you
know anyway, I'm gonna post pictures from the Eagles send
off that we attended with. It was me Andrew and
our brother in law, Mike, and it was, first of all,
it was so fucking cold outside. It was like fifteen
or sixteen degrees and we waited in line for a
(05:54):
solid ninety minute when we could have just like rolled
up and just parked and walked in. After the fact,
whatever you live, you learn. But it was a phenomenal
experience and hopefully we can experience it again next year
and the year of the year of that.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
But wow, okay, yeah, put then of pressure.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
So yeah, no three pet for the Chiefs, get the
fuck out of here, and we are the world champs.
And it was just a moment that I will never forget.
I still remember, you know, when they won in February
of twenty eighteen. I'll never forget that. And I was
I was a relatively new fan back then. I'm not
(06:41):
a new fan anymore, and it just feels so much
better this way, more real, you know.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, But anyway, you were in it the whole time,
start to find.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Start to finish time. I mean, I've been in it, yeah,
tip to tail, the entire season the past four or
five years, you know. And it was to get kind
of emotional and serious, even though I'm always emotional and
serious when it comes to certain things. The Eagles obviously
meant so much to my dad, and for years he
would try and get me to watch the games with
(07:13):
him on Sunday. My dad was a huge football fan
in general, like the Eagles were his favorite team. His
second favorite team were the Minnesota Vikings. I never actually
asked why, but I'm like, maybe it's like because it's
a cold weather team. I don't know. I kind of
leaned towards the cold weather teams if I had to
pick another one, but I don't. But I remember having
(07:34):
this feeling where I was like, that's a way that
I can keep him close to me is just sitting
down every Sunday and watching the Eagles play and sometimes
being fortunate enough to go down to the stadium and
see the game in person, you know, like just that
was a thing that I remember very shortly after he passed.
I was like, this is what I'm gonna do. And
(07:54):
this April will be five years that he's passed. So
I've been consistent with it for five years, and it's
really enriched my life in a completely different way. But
it also makes me long for him just a little
bit more in certain aspects. And like, yeah, there was
certainly a moment this past Sunday where I was like, fuck, man,
like this would have been the most exciting, electrified thing
(08:16):
if I could have just been experiencing it with him.
But you know, I feel like he was hanging out
in New Orleans, to be perfectly honest, he was down there. Yeah, yeah,
so fantastic time. The energy is so fucking good. I
(08:36):
wake up literally smiling. I remember after we had lost
that Super Bowl, and then shortly thereafter, like a year
a year later after the Eagles just you know, they
call it a rebuild, a rebuild year, but they just
collapsed last year. And yeah, and I mean we just
(08:57):
we had to clean house and we did and obviously
had some incredible hires and contracts and all that stuff,
which is why we just won the super Bowl. Complet
thank you, Howie. But you know, it was like we
lost the super Bowl and then had a terrible season
and then Jason Kelsey retired and I was you know,
(09:19):
so it was just all of this energy leading into
this season, and I just remember every time one of
those hit, like after the super Bowl, super Bowl lost.
I mean I would wake up sad every day for
a solid month. It was almost like I would wake
(09:39):
up and that would be the first thing I'd think about,
Like this is just such a it's so fucking part
of the DNA. And even if I wasn't like a
huge fan my whole life, it was still a part
of my life through super Bowl parties and this that
and the other and my dad you know, forcing me
to sit down or whatever, you know, like it was
(10:00):
it's just yeah, and no, that is not the case
this year. I wake up with a fucking joker grin
on my face every day, And like yesterday I walked
almost seven and a half miles. Today it was almost
nine and a half. Like, I just have so much
fucking energy and so much positive energy. It's beautiful. It's
(10:21):
just a beautiful thing. So thank you guys for just
dealing with this part of the show the past, well
since September, basically since the season started. Go Birds always, Forever,
Go Birds. So proud of my team and Ozzy, thank
you for repping the birds in fucking in in a
(10:46):
Kansas City household. So I love the pictures Ozzy send
us over pictures of him wearing a very vividly Eagles
beanie ye and it looked great, fifty great where all
the time it's a good luck charm. Now, like just
go forth and.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Go birds stand in direct opposition to those around you. Yes, yeah,
this is great.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Yeah, it's also kind of the sign of the times too,
if we're uh, you know, getting a little serious. And
that's the other thing that I do want to talk about,
so you know, to take it down before bringing it
back up with last of us content. Andrew and I
recorded on January twenty ninth, and then his fortieth birthday
was January thirtieth, and it was a wonderful day. We
(11:30):
will actually talk about your birthday and the plans and
everything that happened. I mean, we talked about the tattoo,
we talked about all that good stuff. But we didn't
talk about the big gift, and I'll let you tell
everyone about that, okay, which will bring the energy back up.
But unfortunately, like within the last two weeks, there have
been like four plane crashes, and one of them happened
(11:56):
in Philly, two minutes from my mom's house. Happened where
I worked for four years of my life. I know
those streets, I knew people who lived in those homes,
like on those actual streets, and it was devastating to me,
like it was devastating after the DC helicopter crash. The
DC crash happened while Andrew and I finished, like right
(12:20):
after Andrew and I finished recording our podcast, which is
why we didn't talk about it on the episode that
dropped on January thirty first. And I want to be
very clear about this, because we mentioned the fires in
California only once and sent our love out to everyone
and made a point to just say this is a
place for people to come for joy and escapism, and
(12:41):
I very much believe in that, but I also don't
want to just hide my head in the sand sometimes
because there are things changing so rapidly in this country
that are causing detrimental side effects. To people like you
and I just every day people are going to pay
the prices for these things, and it's extremely upsetting. And
(13:03):
I am someone who very much loves aviation. I'm a
part of the aviation community in my own little nerdy way.
I spend hours upon hours watching engineering shows about them,
hearing from pilots, learning about crashes and how to prevent
certain things in the future, just hearing about the industry
as a whole. If you want a question, I can
(13:24):
almost get into technicalities about airplanes themselves at this point
because I've been so far deep into it. So when
this stuff happens, it's very much on my plate and
my radar. And it's so fucking gutting and heartbreaking to
learn about these instances that never ever should happen, but
(13:46):
because of inadequate leadership and recommendations that are not put
into place, safety recommendations that are not put into place,
and hiring freezes and understaffing across the board, and shoddy
works and mentality of I don't give a fuck in
this country. People are dying, and the list goes on
(14:07):
and on and on, and it's so fucking heartbreaking, and
I just wanted to speak my peace about it because
it happened in our own backyard, and it happened three
hours south of us, and it's it's something that should
not fucking happen anymore. It's twenty twenty five. We shouldn't
have top of the fucking line black hawk helicopters flying
directly into airplanes. That's not something that we should be
(14:29):
talking about right now. And it's beyond frustrating and scary
because you are flying. In less than a month. Last night,
my our brother in law and our niece flew across
the world to Iceland, and so I was on like
pins and needles for quite a while, you know, like
it's just I hate this. The sign of the times
(14:50):
is not good, and it's it's and it's real life.
So I just wanted to talk about that for a
second and acknowledge it and send my life of our
love to everyone affected by any part of this. Not
that I believe that anyone is listening, who is, but
maybe you are, And I just want you to know
(15:10):
that we love you and we're so sorry for your loss,
and we hope we can make you laugh, because that's
all that's fucking left at this point.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Mmm.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Here, here, moving moving forward. Please tell everyone on bringing
the injury energy back up in the in the best
way that you can, because you're the best at it,
you really are. Tell everyone about uh yeah, the one
gift that was still a surprise to you going into
(15:40):
your birthday.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
A well, what I could say, Slansha, I.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Was gonna say it. I knew you're gonna say that.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
You know, it looks like I'm going home to the
home of my people. Is the is the place where
we're going? Yep, And that was huge. That was huge,
huge play by huge play by my co hosts there.
So you know, I was not expecting that at all.
(16:12):
So I still don't really have I can't process it.
I probably won't until i'm there. Yeah, it's it's exciting.
It's something to very much look forward to.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yes, it is, and I understand the it's fun. It's
good that you said, You're like, I don't think I
can process it until I'm actually there. I feel like
that's the truest shit, because I you know, for my
fortieth birthday, you gifted the Grand Canyon trip, but it
was an eight month wait and then when we got there,
Like leading up to it, I was like until this
(16:42):
actually happens. I'm not going to believe that this is
actually happening to me. Sure, and then you you know,
we stepped off the bus, walked to the first railing,
I guess because there were railings all where those viewpoints were. Yeah,
walk to the first point and just experienced heaven on earth.
(17:05):
That's literally what it felt like. And I remember getting
so overwhelmed that I had to sit down and you
had to like help me because I was like, I
feel like I'm gonna hyperventilate, like I can't believe I'm here.
So yeah, got her. Yeah, I hope you experienced the
same I genuinely do. When we touch down and you
get a chance to just you know, we're in the
car heading to the first destination, whether it's a hotel
(17:28):
or whatever. Maybe it's a pub first, whatever we want
to do.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Oh, it's going to be a pub first.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Yeah. But it's all three.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
One hands me aguinness with a four leaf clover floating
on it. Let's go.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah, it's it's just one of those surreal things. And
I can't wait. I've been Yeah, I mean, this is
something that I've been planning for you since you surprised
me in twenty twenty three, in August of twenty twenty three,
so we're not going for a while, Like it's not
until Christmas of twenty twenty six, because we're traveling a
(18:03):
lot this year.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
There's a lot of travel this year.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Yeah, it's a lot this year. So I'm like, let's
well just push it. And I heard that Christmas in
Ireland is like extremely special. So we're Christmas people, we're
Christmas family. Our daughter's coming with us. We might be
roping in other family members from your lineage.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Seems likely, seems likely.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
So it's exciting. Andrew cried. I just want everyone to
know that that he cried reading the card. It's the
first time that I've ever gifted him something that he cried. Yeah,
now I'm gonna cry. How silly is that dog got him?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
We got to get a jewel got him?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
That's you know, that's that's all there is. I think
we got some gifts in the near future, and then
some gifts in the far future, and lots of stuff
in between now and then lots of episodes of the
Last of Us, Yes, in between, you know, we'll be
finished part two by the time I go to Ireland.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
I don't know, no, probably not.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Who knows who's to say, probably not, though you're right,
probably not.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
It is the second week in February and we are
still doing emails. We're supposed to be into part two
by now.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
So no, let's just let's just let's just do email
shows for the rest of this. Let's just not do that,
just do email shows for the rest for the rest
of ever.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Oh okay, actually, all right, let's let's uh, let's pivot
into that. And I'm going to take a quick one,
real quick, because.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Quick one, real quick. Here we go.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
This actually goes back to Super Bowl Sunday, this past Monday,
February ninth, and it's from s Rend. Sorry, no, I
will never stop hearing you saying that, Like I will,
I'll never stop you from saying that. Sure, So it's
from s Fren. Remember he's a Niners fan.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
These are oh boy, here we go.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
So s Fren writes at four fourteen PM, which was
approximately two hours and sixteen minutes before kickoff of the
Super Bowl. Well, hello, nothing Telu related in my latest
email to y'all, I just want to say good luck
to you and your team in today's game. I'm rooting
(20:29):
for the Bird the beer. Damn it, I can't say it.
I'm rooting for that Alfred Hitchcock team. I'm just kidding seriously, though,
good luck to your team. Much love. Has always hoped
to hear your voices soon. S Frenn, thank you so
much for the support.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Of course, the Philadelphia rear windows got it.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Now. Yes, obviously he's talking about the movie The Birds
by Alfred Hitchcock, just in case what everyone might know
that movie exists. Hey, so let's just put that out there.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
If you're listening and you haven't seen The Birds, I
would recommend that you watch for your Window, which is
a better Hitchcock movie.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah, I saw the Birds like Years upon Yours or north.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
By Northwest or even Psycho.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Sure, but that's not the play of the email.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
And then you could watch the Birds or just go
back and watch the Birds win the super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Either way, I'd go that route, go that route. That's
a that's a once in a that can never be
repeated again, you know what I mean. You can always
put an Alfred Hitchcock movie on, So.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I feel like you could always put the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Well, yeah, I can now but I can't ever experience
it that first talk, like the plays will never be
the same, even if they go to the Super Bowl
next year and they and again, it's not going to
be the same. It's just different. So all right, anyway,
thank you s Wren. I love it.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Even though you couldn't say it, we understand, we felt it.
The it's like that scene from Liar Liar is like
the color of this pen is o blue.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah, it's it's good. It's good. It's good. So all right,
thank you guys for dealing with very high highs and
some low lows and uh and some celibratory emails. Now
let's get to the real emails. So do you want
media first? You want to go first? Who talks first?
I talk first?
Speaker 2 (22:52):
It depends how we're doing here. But you know, this
one looks like like a meaty one. This one we're
going to do first. Here looks like it's got some
meat on the bone. You do this one. I scrolled
down just a little bit and I saw something that's
up your you'll be more attuned too.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Okay, So this is from Wendell A. From October eighteenth,
twenty twenty four. Hey, guys, long time no. See, it's
been two and a half years since my Holy shit,
two and a half years since I sent my emails.
Holy shit.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Yep, Wendell writes, holy shit, you reacted that way, but
that's what that's how Wendall also reacted.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
That's just that's absurd. We're doing better. But I just
listened to the latest pod, which marks the finale of
part one, so I figured I had to come back
and share my thoughts with you guys. Well, first things first,
the formalities. I hope you guys and your daughter are
good and healthy. I'm so happy that you came back
after a hiatus, and I can hear in your voices
(23:52):
how happy you sound to be doing the pod again.
It's good to see people you genuinely care about in
a good place again, and I hope all is going
well for you too. Wendell, Thank you so much. And
I love that you can hear it in our voices
because that's like the biggest thing for me, because I'm
a podcast listener to and you can tell when people
(24:12):
are just like phoning it in legitimately, they're just like.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
I die, They're sick. Get out of my face.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah it's not it's not a little different today, but
I think it's going out. Ah, just candding over them
fucking breathing.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Don't do that if you're a podcaster. Just take off, Yeah,
just take off.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Like nobody wants to hear the snuffle ofphogus through the
fucking earphones, especially if you're wearing headphones, because then you
you're all the shit.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Yeah. I have people that I'm like, I'm listening to it,
like every like I'll listen to you know, there are
podcasts that they're like my go to guys MHM and
gals obviously, but yes, if I even sense a hint off,
a sniffle, I just skipped the whole episode. I'm like,
you really, I can't do it. Yes, some voices, I'm
(25:09):
very I can't. There would be some. There are other
podcasts where I'm like, also, you know, no shade, there
are just certain frequencies that I can't deal with in
a voice.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
And I agree.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I'm like, you know, I like you as a person.
I enjoy your writing. I just can't listen to you.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Yeah, no, I agree, I agree. And it also like
sometimes for me, it's like a visceral reaction, reaction. I
think you I don't know if you have that, but like, no,
I'm not trying to be disgusting on the podcast, but
like if somebody sounds sick, I'll start to like feel it,
and I don't want that. I don't want any part
(25:50):
of that because then giving it to ears over the
Wi Fi no, not that, No, just you know what
their experience sympathy sick, Yeah, and it makes me gag.
I don't want to know. So right, we're all in
a good place, Thank you, Wendell, and we hope that
(26:12):
you and your family are also doing well. Yes, and
despite my own two year hiatus of emailing you, I
listened to every pod, including the ones for the TV show.
Your content continues to be great and it really feels
like I'm at a bar's table listening to some friends talking.
Don't worry, I'll get the tab shit.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
You don't know what you just got yourself into. Wintel
another round?
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Don't get cheap on me dot.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Didn't you just hear that? I'm Irish boy boy? Can
I put them down? Here? We go?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Sure? And thank you for that. So to start, I
finally got a PS five here in Brazil due to
the currency variation, something that might cost you guys four
hundred bucks. Here, I'll pay around thirty five hundred what
hold on thirty five three thousand, five hundred dollars after
the conversion to the Brazilian currency.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Bananas.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
That's Oh, that's crazy. Gab the wonderful, wonderful human being
that does the music for this podcast, the intro and
outro music. Yeah, she is from Brazil and has talked
many times about the conversions and the issues and how
things in Brazil are so expensive comparatively.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Surprising no one. She doesn't live in Brazil anymore.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
No, she doesn't. Well, yeah, but that's not because of.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Maybe it is though sure it didn't, sure it didn't
hurt anyway.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
So yeah, wow, that's that is ridiculous, and I'm so
glad that you finally got one. But holy crap. Yeah,
so a PS five is not cheap here. Me and
the wife were planning to buy one by the end
of the year, since my birthday is in December. Happy
belated birthday when beated. Yeah, so it'd be a nice
(28:01):
gift to myself. But then I quit my job. I
love it, But then I quit my job loll because
fuck that place and my.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Love that energy because that place amazing.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
I have to read the whole sentence again. It's too good.
But then I quit my job loll because fuck that place.
And my beautiful wife, who I joke is our financial manager,
but in actuality she really is. She said, you know what,
fuck it, let's buy it now. Yes, I love both
of you so much. Yes, and so we did. So
(28:36):
now I'm unemployed with a shiny PS five to play,
but I already have another job lined up. Don't worry.
That is good. I'm glad you're enjoying unemployment, but I'm
glad you have a job lined up.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Wendell. You'll appreciate this portmanteau up here. We would call
that fun employment, where you get to do something fun
and potentially collect money to do that. So there you go.
I hope you are living up fun employment.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Yes, or at least did, because this was October.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
That's true, Weentnell continues. I'm a good professional free in
the market, so I'm basically taking a vacation right now.
Fucking that's right. That's hats off to you. Enjoy your vacation.
I hope your holidays were fan fucking tastic and your
PS five is still kicking ass. So all that to say,
with the PS five, I signed up again for the
Deluxe PS Plus and Part one is included. Yes, I
(29:26):
hadn't even realized it, and I was so happy when
I saw it. So now I'm playing this beautiful game
again to its maximum potential, and holy shit, is it beautiful.
I'm probably gonna take fifty hours to complete it this
time because I'm stopping every time to go into photo mode.
The lighting tool. Holy shit, I'm in all naughty dog Bravo. Yeah,
(29:48):
that lighting tool is great, and I've been again, I've
been talking about this. I'm back into photo mode. I
took a break over the last two weeks just because
of like all the stuff we talked about happening in
the United States has just been fucking racked. But I
miss it. It is a good time, and God bless
the lighting tool. Why do I speak and say things
before just reading.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
The fus, just waiting for you to yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Yeah, so Wendel says here, Oh yeah, I'm also into
virtual photography. I don't remember if meant if I mentioned
that in the in the last email I sent two
years ago.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Love that.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
This is the third reference to how long it's been,
but Jack was one of the reasons I started liking VP.
We actually follow each other on the Twitter I have
for VP. I will shamelessly promote you because you shamelessly
promoted yourself, and the handle is at Kiddo two seven four.
By the way, I did not know that was you.
Did not know that was you.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
What could have given it away the fact that the
name on the account is Wendel I'll dare you. Oh
it is followed by you. I'm on it right now.
The top three posts here we have Horizon Banger, Alan
Wake two, one of my favorite games of all time,
Red Dead Redemption two ooh, and The Last of Us.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Part two perfect The Red Dead Redemption Part two Part
no just being a shit.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Wow, I'm sure the first.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Okay, then perfect? So I will go and creep your
page again as soon as we're done chatting on this episode.
But I love that we're mutuals without even knowing that
we were mutuals. That's such a good energy. Yes, but yes,
I was able to do some really nice VP with
Part two, even in my humble PS four. But I
was blown away by some of Jack's photos and the
entire community that I just knew I had to get
(31:37):
a PS five someday. Now it's finally here, and I
feel like a kid with how happy I am. So First,
thank you for the compliment, and I hope that you
were still killing it in the VP world. And I
will creep as soon as we're done all this. Second, Yes,
the PS five is something special when it comes to vping,
the Last of US games in general, and even again,
(31:59):
like I went downstairs and I know that this is
not PlayStation, but Andrew was playing Indiana Jones, which is
brand fucking new, and I also have it I downloaded
on my Xbox haven't played yet, but it's still I mean,
this game just came out I think in November of
last year, right, Indie.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Yeah, India was December. Yeah, it was December thirteenth. I think.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Yeah, it's the Last of US Part one and two
still look better. I don't. It's just I was watched
in the cut even the cut scenes they I mean,
I just don't understand what they're doing at Naughty Dog.
It's so much, it's so much better. Just usually look
(32:44):
look in always new game. I was just gonna keep
cutting you off.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
I was going to keep saying, well, if you just
I just if I could, just if I could, if
I could, just.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Do you remember that that one? Oh fuck, I don't
remember it is? But hello? Can I finish? Hello? Can
I fin it? Okay, I finish?
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Okay, yeah, okay, okay, let me finish. Listen before we
start tearing other games down to their assholes or whatever
that phrase is. You got it right, Okay, it's just different. Okay.
Indy isn't going for a photo realistic it's just not
(33:28):
doing that. So like, even though it's newer, it doesn't
necessarily equal better, is what I'll say. And on top
of that, just to put another bow on that, nobody
is making games that look like Sony first party games. Sure,
that's true of the Last of Us, but that's true
of any of their top three what I would describe
(33:50):
top three studios, which would be Naughty Dog, Insomniac, and
Santa Monica. No games look like that. Maybe I would
hear the argument for the newer Resident Evil Resident Evil
games from Capcom. They come very close, and a game
like Allan Wake or something like that, but again, they're
(34:10):
just it's just different. It's just different.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
I know it's different, but it's still.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Just it's great. I get what you're saying is that
it's incredible. Like, here's what I'll say when Grand Theft
Auto six comes out. Okay, and I talked about this,
I think on maybe I talked about this, and what's
Andrew playing Grand Theft Auto. It will be a game
that has like literal hundreds of millions of dollars poured
(34:38):
into it. Maybe a billion, I don't know. Yeah, it
will not look as good as the Last of Us.
It will not. I'm calling I'm calling it right now.
It will not look as good as the Last of Us.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
That's just crazy.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Well, it's also it's not the priority and you always
have to balance. Like what you get with the Last
of Us is a very focused, A to B kind
of thing. Sure, and what you get with Grand Theft
Auto is here is an entire two scale replica of
Miami and Orlando, you know. So it's like it's different.
(35:16):
It's different. So yeah, that's you know, it's interesting. It's interesting.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
I know, I just have to it's just about expectations.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Just sounds like you were calling out Indy and God
damn it, that game is a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
No, I'm not I was calling out the esthetics India because.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
I another Troy Baker game, by the way.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Yeah, and just FYI when he runs or grunt or sorry,
or jumps or does anything, say when gunts me I
was getting there, he grunts its Joel. It is just
Joel sounds. And I might play just for that because
that's I want more of that.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Troy Baker is doing a remarkable not impression, is of
doing a remarkable and bodyment of Indiana Jones. The voice
that Harrison He's not doing an impression of Harrison Ford,
but he's just it just sounds like Indiana Jones, which
is really really cool. But yeah, all of the exertions
and all of the barks, one hundred percent that's just Joel.
(36:16):
You're just like, oh, yeah, that's the sound when he's
pulling himself up over a ledge, when you know all
that shit, it's just Joel.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
It's so it's so good it is. Yeah, I definitely
want to play that. And I freed up some space
on my Xbox. I downloaded Indie Flight Simulator and Stalker
two chart of chernewbyl chordinal Bar which it is spelled
with an O, and that was intentional because it's made,
it's a Ukraine, it's a Ukrainian studio, and they did
(36:49):
it to basically say, this is the heart of us.
Go went into this game. Yeah, and I love that
so so much so and and Andrew played like the
first twenty thirty minutes because I made him like a
couple months ago. I was like, please play it, and
it's it's very fun. So I gonna get into that
(37:11):
shortly and stream it probably so Jada Vator Twitch find
me anyway. Back to the email, and Wendell says, back
to the game. When I get to the end, Melancholy
is always how I describe my feeling over it. It's
so beautiful, so potent, but the melancholy hits like a
freight train. When Joel lies and when you see Ellie
does not fully believe him, it feels like something breaking
(37:34):
that it's hard to put it back together. It's hard
to explain. No other game has ever made me feel
something so real quite like the Last of Us. No
game has taken me on a human journey quite like
this one. And this will live in eternity, and I'm
so grateful for that. I agree. I legitimately could not
say a word better than that. I agree one thousand percent.
(37:56):
No nuts, no nuts, and yes, jack Joel was right.
Joel was right. I'd have done the same thing. The
fireflies are a fucking joke, and sacrificing an innocent child
for an unfounded and measly chance of a quote cure
is not worth it. Ever, the world could never be
the same again. It has been twenty years. Humans are
(38:16):
worse now than they were before a cure. He puts
quotes around cure every time. I love you, Wendel. A
cure brought by the death of a child would only
cause more chaos. So yeah, fuck that. If Jackson is
the world that got it right, then that's live in
that world. I'm happy with that reality instead of chasing
a fantasy that right there, No fucking notes? Is everyone listening?
(38:41):
No notes?
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Trust me?
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Oh I do anyway. Can't wait to see you guys
tackle part too soon and I'm sure I'll have a
lot of thoughts to share with you. Guys. Thank you
for the amazing job you have done so far. Shout
out to Barb as well. And it's been a minute.
Who oh, Barb, I love you, I miss you. Uh
(39:07):
and hopefully we have some sort of surprise episode sometime
this summer because her and I are trying to plan
getting together this summer, so fingers crossed we can make
it happen, but to please keep entertaining us as much
as you can. Wendell, thank you, thank you. We absolutely
will try our best. And uh and I guess I'm
sorry I didn't say this at the beginning of the show,
but I'm sorry about taking off last week. Guys. Everyone,
(39:31):
it was just an insanely busy week for work and
there was no free time. So this week we have
three episodes we're recording to get ahead. Finally we're doing
that where it's happening. It's it's almost it's it's there.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Is someone who's been suggesting that all along. That's right,
it's Barb who who.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Oh my gosh, ps, this is really random, but I
needed to share this with you. I know you two
are from Philly, and I'm a big sports guy, but
I'm a dumas uh oh why because I fucking love
Philadelphia's teams. Goddamn right, except for the seventy six ers
Denver Nuggets. Guy here since six listen.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Wendell, Philadelphia doesn't even like the seventy six Ers.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Yeah, I can't fucking stand the Sixers. I could give
a shit. I wouldn't say Philadelphia doesn't care about the
Sixers because they're getting their own fucking stadium. But like,
I can't express to you how little I care about
that team or it's just not my sport, which makes
me sad because in grade school I played basketball for
(40:39):
a hot second and I wasn't bad at it, even
though I'm a fucking smurf, but like it just I
remember thinking, I'm like, there's just something missing for me
with this sport. I don't know what it is, Okay,
So maybe maybe it's just the intensity and like the
physical violent aspect of like hockey and football.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
I don't know, you need more contact in basketball, you need.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
More Maybe I don't know, but I just Wendel, you're
in good company. Andrew barely cares about sports in general, sure,
and and I care too much for the both of
us about the Eagles specifically.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
I care insofar as if you like a team that
is a direct opposition to Philadelphia, then you know I
can't get down with that. But I don't actually really
partake in the festivities as it were.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
Yeah, although you had a very good time down at
the Eagles send off. You were big smiley field.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
I'm just walking around. I'm like, hey, checking this out. Look,
I've been down there. I told you, I've been down
there a couple of times, weirdly enough, just not for games.
I've never been there for a game. But I've been
on the field twice now, and I've been in that
stadium three times, so.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
Yeah, pretty cool. I have never been on the field
until this that pit or February second, and I cannot believe.
I don't know how many people have experience this, but
I can't believe how small the stadium feels when you're
down on the field. But as a spectator, when I'm
(42:09):
up in the stands, I'm like, this place is fucking enormous.
But down on the field, I was like, oh god,
everyone's watching like it was a very weird, polarizing feeling.
But then I started running from the fifty yard line
to the fucking end zone, and I was like, I
don't even give a shit anymore.
Speaker 2 (42:27):
Like I could do this, I could play this game.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
I could do this. Yeah not with dudes, though, not
with those dudes. No, no, no, I where it's at
I know, it is a hugely rising sport. I'm trying
to get bellet into it. I'm like, I'm gonna, I'm
gonna succeed there. Anyway. I love how gritty, crazy and
absolutely loyal Philly fans are and identify that so much
with the soccer culture I have here it with my
(42:52):
local team in Brazil, so it was easy for me
to see that with the teams in Philadelphia. I love
that so much, and it makes me even happier that
Philly played their opener, their season opener in Brazil. So
that must have been so fun, just because we know
how passionate Brazilian fans are, not not just of like
(43:13):
sports or football slash soccer, but of concerts, musical artists,
movie like. Some of the most passionate people on earth
live in Brazil. Maybe Philadelphia is like a little Brazil
something to think about.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
I mean Brazil. I just I thought that was funny
because Brazil is massive, so technically everything is a little
version of you know, compared to Brazil, many things are small.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
No, I know, I meant the energy, Oh no.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
I get that.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
Well.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
Yeah, I see people at Carnival and I'm like, that's
Broad Street after the.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
Super Bowl, Yes, but classier where they're in Brazil.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
Yeah, okay, I just wanted to make sure yes, yes,
like thinking about like just what we had watched on
the news after the game, and I was like, I.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
Wouldn't describe that as classy.
Speaker 2 (44:05):
No, no, knocked over a light pole and they were
passing it down the street.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
I love Philly, Oh God, I love Beans. I love
so much that we are from there. I don't love
driving in and out of Phillies. I think that's my
biggest bitch about it.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
You just don't like traffic. Is that really the problem? Yeah,
that's in Philadelphia. That's inexclusive for Philadelphia, I know.
Speaker 1 (44:31):
Anyway. All right, So Wendell's rankings for sports teams are
the following. Okay, Number three the Eagles because they annoy
me only once a week. Yeah, hopefully, hopefully you're not annoyed, Wendell,
and you are celebrating with us. Number two the Flyers,
because well it's the Flyers. I agree. I agree. And
(44:55):
number one Phillies. The motherfucking Phillies. I I ever loved
and hated a team so much at the same time. Guys,
I have a Phillies red hat and a Bryce Harper jersey.
I actually cried at the twenty two World Series, and
this year I just knew something was going to happen,
and it did. But did it have to be to
(45:16):
the fucking Mets. Here's the thing, all right, Andrew, I'm
just taking over because it's all sports.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
So all right, I'm gonna go get a drink. I
guess can you.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
Bring me up more water please? I'm like, go out.
Speaker 2 (45:27):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
So the Phillies. I was extremely pregnant when the Phillies
won the World Series in two thousand and eight, so
I couldn't go down. And I don't know how many
people listening are aware of this. So Andrew mentioned Broad
Street as one of the main hubbubs of celebration for
Philadelphia sports team fans. That is just where everyone congregates
(45:51):
to function up, break windows, break lampoles.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
They were very let's be very clear here, they weren't.
There was none of that. It was still was. There
was some shit falling, but they were not breaking windows.
And the yes they did, oh okay, well.
Speaker 1 (46:05):
The next day there were like fucking five or six
businesses with their windows completely shattered.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
Well they shouldn't have been there. I think it's.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Probably it's the windows fault.
Speaker 2 (46:16):
And let's also be Broad Street. The cross section of
the center city of Philadelphia is Broad and Market and
there sits City Hall. So Broad Street is a very central,
large thoroughfare through the city.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
Yeah, and if you actually walk through City Hall. This
is kind of a neat thing for people who are
not from Philly and have never visited. But if you
aim to make sure you do this, because I liked
it even as a Philly resident. If you go through
the tunnel, like it's a little kind of you know,
stone tunnel of under city Hall, and you go into
(46:54):
the center, there's a literal. There's a literal like mosaic
in the center that says you standing in the center
of the city. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
I like, you're in the courtyard. And if you look,
if you look north, south, east, and west, you'll be
looking on Broad or Market Street in those directions. You
could see right out.
Speaker 1 (47:13):
Yeah, it's pretty It's really it's really neat. So make
a point to do that. It'll take you ten seconds.
Speaker 2 (47:17):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
So the Phillies, the motherfucker Phillies. I also have a
Bryce Harper Jersey and I love it Bristown Blue. Quite
a lot of Phillies gears as well, because I had
this weird thing in my head during the twenty two
World Series that after every single game, I had to
buy something, and every time I did, they would win.
So I was like, I gotta fucking buy something else.
(47:40):
So now you know, I have a bunch of stuff,
and I'm still happy to have all that stuff. But yeah,
if anytime we lose, it sucks. But when we lose
to a New York team, it's the fucking worst. And
so I feel you, Wendell. The Eagles are my number
one team, then the Phillies, then the Flyers. But it's
still hurts. It's still that that that definitely did hurt.
(48:03):
And last year, last year was just yeah, anyway, moving
on so Philly.
Speaker 2 (48:12):
In the past.
Speaker 1 (48:13):
No, that's that's all Philly does. So uh, Wendall says,
fucking Phillies, I love you so much. I hate you
so fucking much. Philly is truly the only place in
the US I actually want to visit because I need
to go to a Phillies game at Citizens Bank Park
one day, so care to spare me a guest room?
If we had a guest room one thousand percent, you'd
be able to just stay here, hang out, we'll go
(48:36):
to the game together because they're not that expensive, to
be honest. And yeah, so well we could get you
down to the bank. We do have a very nice,
semi cheap hotel like three minutes down the road where
all of our family stays when they come to visit
for holidays and stuff. So if that's something you'd be
willing to do, then let's.
Speaker 2 (48:56):
Go bare minimum. We'll get you the best cheese steak
in the city.
Speaker 1 (49:00):
Yes, for free on us, like whatever you And that's
the thing when people come in and visit, we tend
to buy, like we're like all right, yeah, we're buying
the dinners. We're making the dinners. We'll take you out,
we'll go here. We'll do this because we don't have
a room to put people up in. It's just you know,
it is what it is. Yeah, we'll make it up
with food. Oh and one final thing. After listening to
(49:22):
so many Philadelphia based sports podcasts, some of them being
radio shows, I can fully identify your Philly accents, especially Jack's.
It's great. Seriously, thank you, I love you guys.
Speaker 2 (49:35):
And what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (49:38):
Love you guys, talk to you soon. Yeah, it's funny.
Anytime I see people doing an accent for the quote
Philadelphia area, it's always Delco that they really lean hard into.
That's not Philly.
Speaker 2 (49:53):
It's the easiest one.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
Yeah, it's philly Ish, but it's not like the people
that we went to school with. Yeah, and us ourselves
didn't sound like that. And it's always so emphasis like
overdone and overcooked in the videos where like you know,
I'm gonna get a cheese, they can go home. It's
(50:17):
just a home, no snow like like stop, it's not
if I get super pissed, maybe maybe I go into
a little deeper.
Speaker 2 (50:29):
Or super drunk, I don't know, super drunk.
Speaker 1 (50:31):
Yeah, either way. Yeah, Delco seems to be the one
that people imitate the most, but I don't. I don't
really consider that the quintessential Philly accent.
Speaker 2 (50:42):
No, no, I agree. For as in your face as
the accent can be, sure, there is a subtlety to it.
So it's every impression is just accentuating the weirdest part
of a thing. So I get it, you know, Yeah,
but I also understand. I also know when I hear it,
I'm like, if I don't know a person and I
(51:04):
hear it talk Philadelphia, yeah so my brethren, Yeah yeah,
so yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, amazing.
Speaker 1 (51:16):
Anyway, thank you so much for that, Wendel. We hope
you're doing well and enjoying your PS five and hopefully
you played your fifty hours thus far and enjoyed the
f out of it. Would love to hear more. Yeah yeah,
but we're at an hour, so I think we should
(51:37):
have only do that one.
Speaker 2 (51:39):
That's okay. Now we got a lot done. We got
a lot of tea. I mean, this was the this
was the Philadelphia Sports Show. Yes, probably you should probably
name it as such, like it should be like episode
reader Emails blah blah blah colon the Philadelphia Sports Show.
Speaker 1 (51:56):
Maybe I will, because it was just it's trying to
catch you everyone up on the last two weeks, from
your birthday to the Eagles win in the Super Bowl,
to the terrible events that happened in the country. Like
I didn't want to just skip over that stuff just
to get to emails. And I understand if people get
annoyed with that and they're like, we're just here to
listen to other people's thoughts and then your thoughts about
(52:19):
their thoughts, not your thoughts about other things that are
not about last of us. I get it.
Speaker 2 (52:26):
I got bad news for you. If that's your friend.
Speaker 1 (52:31):
We're gonna stop there today. But it's good to Sorry.
I just hit the shit out of my mic. It's
good to be back. I have to. It's good to
be back. I'm excited to record with you tomorrow and
Thursday and uh and then yeah, we'll get some cheese
(52:53):
sakes and go home and just hang out.
Speaker 2 (52:57):
What what is happening right now?
Speaker 1 (53:01):
I'm just making people making fun of people who make
fun of the Philly accent.
Speaker 2 (53:05):
Okay, I don't know. Yeah, all right, I don't like
the making fun of. But then I don't like the
making fun of the making fun of. It's a double
they all can it's all dividing by zero. I don't
like either one.
Speaker 1 (53:17):
I know, I know, it's just fun. It's fun for me.
But yes I am. I'm a happy little I'm a
happy little eagle this week. And yes, well I'm forty one.
I don't think I'm.
Speaker 2 (53:31):
An eaglet speaking whatever you want to be.
Speaker 1 (53:35):
There are YouTube channels. Several YouTube channels that we put there.
Speaker 2 (53:47):
Listen, the cohesive thread is eagles, but sometimes it's literal
like now, and sometimes it's a figurative eagle, like a
person dressed in green.
Speaker 1 (54:00):
Also, I baked the eagles cake today and I decorated
and it's an absolute shit show. And I'm gonna post
that on our coffee as well, So make sure you
go over there to see the pictures of all of
us down at the link, as well as the the
crappy but awesome eagles cake. But yeah, it sounds like
(54:22):
we're like underwater or drowning. So yes, there's channels. They're
live streams from Big Bear Lake, California, of these this
family of eagles, and they had two little babies hatch
in the last couple of weeks, and like last week,
they were tiny, little fluffy gray balls.
Speaker 2 (54:41):
And yep, no, you said that, I'm not letting that one. Nope,
you're not gonna ddit that one out. I will call
back to that one, don't you dare.
Speaker 1 (54:55):
They were fluffy, gray, fluffy little babies.
Speaker 2 (55:00):
Now they were fluffy gray balls.
Speaker 1 (55:07):
And now this week, like tonight, I turned it on
after dinner and they're they're like ferocious looking already like
a week later. So it's very exciting and I love
them very much. And we found out Andrew googled for
me and the names of the the mom and dad, Eagle,
(55:28):
Jackie and Shadow Shadow. Is that not a little kismet
given our absolute wonderful love of baby Shadow? Isn't that wonderful?
I just think it's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (55:43):
So, I mean, you know, I don't I just follow,
you know, all the signs point to yes, why that's sure?
Speaker 1 (55:50):
So anyway, just if anybody's interested with hanging out watching
live cam footage of eagles in their nest, feeding their
babies and living their life, just.
Speaker 2 (56:01):
Just hashtag just eagle things, tag go birds, hashtag go birds.

for the Birds because fuck the Chiefs. If if you
were rooting for them and you're celebrating, just know that
we are celebrating with you. And if you feel like
(59:16):
you can't celebrate them because you just haven't been a
fan all these long years and you're afraid to just
jump in there, fucking jump in. We're celebrating this shit together.
Speaker 2 (59:25):
Let's go yeah, So go ahead and jump.
Speaker 1 (59:30):
Yes, I know what you're doing.

Oh my god. All right, we'll be back next week, guys.
Bye go birds,
Well, hello everybody, this is the Philadelphia Eagles podcast, and
as Holy's I'm Jack and joined by Andrew.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I did not sign up for this.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
What I did not tell Andrew that I was gonna
say that. I didn't even plan that until legitimately came
out of my mouth and I was like, I'm gonna
go with this totally fucking maybe maybe not. No, obviously
it's wayfair, strangers, and thank you guys for listening and
coming back to listen to this episode. Obviously, I am
(01:01):
going to be all over the fucking place with this episode,
because well, first of all, we have so much to
talk about just in general from the last two weeks
of everything, and some of it and some of it
is like the best fucking stuff in the world, and
some of it's not at all the best stuff in
(01:21):
the world. Okay, yeah, but I have to start. I'm
gonna start on a high note. The Eagles won the
Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Surprise, done, They've done. Surprise.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
I'm I'm yeah, I'm still I'm every day. We are
recording this on Tuesday, February eleventh. It's been it's not
even been forty eight full hours, and I'm just still
so electrified by that game, and I've cried every day
for at least I mean I cried for four hours
and twenty minutes of the game or however long it was.
(01:57):
Andrew posted fucking pictures of me and our Wayfair and
Discord that are the coffee subs had the uh, the
misfortune of seeing because I was like, really, like, you
could have had me smiling or something.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
No, but yeah, emotion.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yeah, just to point out I need to say this
for the people who have seen those photos. I only I,
I don't know I superstitions are real. Okay, I'm just
gonna start there. Superstitions are real. I hate them. I
hate them with a fiery fashion. However, I do not
wear any Eagles gear when I watch a game because
(02:36):
whenever I do, they fucking lose. So I'm like, as
as much as I wanted to be decked out head
to fucking toe in Birds gear, I just I was
wearing all black. Just all black. No, not a not
a hint of Eagles midnight green, not a whiff but
nothing nothing green. Nothing. Also like on Sunday, February second,
(03:04):
because again we haven't released a podcast since January thirty. First,
on Sunday February second, we went down to the Link
which is where the Eagles play, the Link in Financial Field,
and we attended the Eagles sendoff party. Now we weren't
We didn't actually stay for the Eagles to come out
on stage and set up, but we got a chance
(03:27):
to literally run around the field like me and my
brother in law just were literally fake tackling each other
and like fake toe tapping over in the end zone
like we were about to fall out after catching a football.
It was one of the best fucking experiences ever. It
was a ten dollars ticket. My best friend and her
husband were able to get them for us. We ended
(03:48):
up going to the pro shop. I bought a fucking
Eagles cake pan and bake the fucking cake today on
February eleventh, because again I was gonna do it on
Super Bowl Sunday, but I was like, I can't. I
can't do anything Eagles themed because the loose, which I
know is just ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
One time during the game where I sat on the
couch after having sat at my desk and a play
went bad and she's like, get off the couch right now,
go back to your desk, and I was like.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Dead serious, dead serious.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Okay, I guess I'll just go over here.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Like people. My routine with the Eagles season is texting
my best friend Bridget the whole fucking game, and she
was She actually was supposed to host a party that
we were all invited to, but I was like, if
I go to that party, I'm gonna be wearing Eagles gear.
I can't do that. So I told her. I was like,
(04:45):
I love you, I'm not coming to your party and
she's like, oh, She's like, I didn't hear from you
all week, so I just assumed you weren't coming. And
she's like, and my husband's sick, it's fine. So she
canceled the party, and I was like, oh my god,
my god, Like because when I get decked out for Eagles,
it's not just like oh I put a jersey on,
it's everything, like my hair, my eyes, I have stickers
on my face, like my gloves, my everything. And it's
(05:09):
so hard to just be not in any of that
watching them play because I feel like a shitty fan,
but in my brain I'm like, but I'm the best
fan because I'm doing it because I they'll lose if
I if I do something wrong. They will lost. It's
so stupid. It's so stupid. I know, I listen to
superstitions all the time, and I'm like, that's fucking ridiculous.
Why waste your time. But they're there for a reason.
(05:32):
They're perpetuated for a reason. Oh okay, hey, look, you
know anyway, I'm gonna post pictures from the Eagles send
off that we attended with. It was me Andrew and
our brother in law, Mike, and it was, first of all,
it was so fucking cold outside. It was like fifteen
or sixteen degrees and we waited in line for a
(05:54):
solid ninety minute when we could have just like rolled
up and just parked and walked in. After the fact,
whatever you live, you learn. But it was a phenomenal
experience and hopefully we can experience it again next year
and the year of the year of that.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
But wow, okay, yeah, put then of pressure.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
So yeah, no three pet for the Chiefs, get the
fuck out of here, and we are the world champs.
And it was just a moment that I will never forget.
I still remember, you know, when they won in February
of twenty eighteen. I'll never forget that. And I was
I was a relatively new fan back then. I'm not
(06:41):
a new fan anymore, and it just feels so much
better this way, more real, you know.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, But anyway, you were in it the whole time,
start to find.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Start to finish time. I mean, I've been in it, yeah,
tip to tail, the entire season the past four or
five years, you know. And it was to get kind
of emotional and serious, even though I'm always emotional and
serious when it comes to certain things. The Eagles obviously
meant so much to my dad, and for years he
would try and get me to watch the games with
(07:13):
him on Sunday. My dad was a huge football fan
in general, like the Eagles were his favorite team. His
second favorite team were the Minnesota Vikings. I never actually
asked why, but I'm like, maybe it's like because it's
a cold weather team. I don't know. I kind of
leaned towards the cold weather teams if I had to
pick another one, but I don't. But I remember having
(07:34):
this feeling where I was like, that's a way that
I can keep him close to me is just sitting
down every Sunday and watching the Eagles play and sometimes
being fortunate enough to go down to the stadium and
see the game in person, you know, like just that
was a thing that I remember very shortly after he passed.
I was like, this is what I'm gonna do. And
(07:54):
this April will be five years that he's passed. So
I've been consistent with it for five years, and it's
really enriched my life in a completely different way. But
it also makes me long for him just a little
bit more in certain aspects. And like, yeah, there was
certainly a moment this past Sunday where I was like, fuck, man,
like this would have been the most exciting, electrified thing
(08:16):
if I could have just been experiencing it with him.
But you know, I feel like he was hanging out
in New Orleans, to be perfectly honest, he was down there. Yeah, yeah,
so fantastic time. The energy is so fucking good. I
(08:36):
wake up literally smiling. I remember after we had lost
that Super Bowl, and then shortly thereafter, like a year
a year later after the Eagles just you know, they
call it a rebuild, a rebuild year, but they just
collapsed last year. And yeah, and I mean we just
(08:57):
we had to clean house and we did and obviously
had some incredible hires and contracts and all that stuff,
which is why we just won the super Bowl. Complet
thank you, Howie. But you know, it was like we
lost the super Bowl and then had a terrible season
and then Jason Kelsey retired and I was you know,
(09:19):
so it was just all of this energy leading into
this season, and I just remember every time one of
those hit, like after the super Bowl, super Bowl lost.
I mean I would wake up sad every day for
a solid month. It was almost like I would wake
(09:39):
up and that would be the first thing I'd think about,
Like this is just such a it's so fucking part
of the DNA. And even if I wasn't like a
huge fan my whole life, it was still a part
of my life through super Bowl parties and this that
and the other and my dad you know, forcing me
to sit down or whatever, you know, like it was
(10:00):
it's just yeah, and no, that is not the case
this year. I wake up with a fucking joker grin
on my face every day, And like yesterday I walked
almost seven and a half miles. Today it was almost
nine and a half. Like, I just have so much
fucking energy and so much positive energy. It's beautiful. It's
(10:21):
just a beautiful thing. So thank you guys for just
dealing with this part of the show the past, well
since September, basically since the season started. Go Birds always, Forever,
Go Birds. So proud of my team and Ozzy, thank
you for repping the birds in fucking in in a
(10:46):
Kansas City household. So I love the pictures Ozzy send
us over pictures of him wearing a very vividly Eagles
beanie ye and it looked great, fifty great where all
the time it's a good luck charm. Now, like just
go forth and.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Go birds stand in direct opposition to those around you. Yes, yeah,
this is great.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Yeah, it's also kind of the sign of the times too,
if we're uh, you know, getting a little serious. And
that's the other thing that I do want to talk about,
so you know, to take it down before bringing it
back up with last of us content. Andrew and I
recorded on January twenty ninth, and then his fortieth birthday
was January thirtieth, and it was a wonderful day. We
(11:30):
will actually talk about your birthday and the plans and
everything that happened. I mean, we talked about the tattoo,
we talked about all that good stuff. But we didn't
talk about the big gift, and I'll let you tell
everyone about that, okay, which will bring the energy back up.
But unfortunately, like within the last two weeks, there have
been like four plane crashes, and one of them happened
(11:56):
in Philly, two minutes from my mom's house. Happened where
I worked for four years of my life. I know
those streets, I knew people who lived in those homes,
like on those actual streets, and it was devastating to me,
like it was devastating after the DC helicopter crash. The
DC crash happened while Andrew and I finished, like right
(12:20):
after Andrew and I finished recording our podcast, which is
why we didn't talk about it on the episode that
dropped on January thirty first. And I want to be
very clear about this, because we mentioned the fires in
California only once and sent our love out to everyone
and made a point to just say this is a
place for people to come for joy and escapism, and
(12:41):
I very much believe in that, but I also don't
want to just hide my head in the sand sometimes
because there are things changing so rapidly in this country
that are causing detrimental side effects. To people like you
and I just every day people are going to pay
the prices for these things, and it's extremely upsetting. And
(13:03):
I am someone who very much loves aviation. I'm a
part of the aviation community in my own little nerdy way.
I spend hours upon hours watching engineering shows about them,
hearing from pilots, learning about crashes and how to prevent
certain things in the future, just hearing about the industry
as a whole. If you want a question, I can
(13:24):
almost get into technicalities about airplanes themselves at this point
because I've been so far deep into it. So when
this stuff happens, it's very much on my plate and
my radar. And it's so fucking gutting and heartbreaking to
learn about these instances that never ever should happen, but
(13:46):
because of inadequate leadership and recommendations that are not put
into place, safety recommendations that are not put into place,
and hiring freezes and understaffing across the board, and shoddy
works and mentality of I don't give a fuck in
this country. People are dying, and the list goes on
(14:07):
and on and on, and it's so fucking heartbreaking, and
I just wanted to speak my peace about it because
it happened in our own backyard, and it happened three
hours south of us, and it's it's something that should
not fucking happen anymore. It's twenty twenty five. We shouldn't
have top of the fucking line black hawk helicopters flying
directly into airplanes. That's not something that we should be
(14:29):
talking about right now. And it's beyond frustrating and scary
because you are flying. In less than a month. Last night,
my our brother in law and our niece flew across
the world to Iceland, and so I was on like
pins and needles for quite a while, you know, like
it's just I hate this. The sign of the times
(14:50):
is not good, and it's it's and it's real life.
So I just wanted to talk about that for a
second and acknowledge it and send my life of our
love to everyone affected by any part of this. Not
that I believe that anyone is listening, who is, but
maybe you are, And I just want you to know
(15:10):
that we love you and we're so sorry for your loss,
and we hope we can make you laugh, because that's
all that's fucking left at this point.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Mmm.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Here, here, moving moving forward. Please tell everyone on bringing
the injury energy back up in the in the best
way that you can, because you're the best at it,
you really are. Tell everyone about uh yeah, the one
gift that was still a surprise to you going into
(15:40):
your birthday.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
A well, what I could say, Slansha, I.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Was gonna say it. I knew you're gonna say that.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
You know, it looks like I'm going home to the
home of my people. Is the is the place where
we're going? Yep, And that was huge. That was huge,
huge play by huge play by my co hosts there.
So you know, I was not expecting that at all.
(16:12):
So I still don't really have I can't process it.
I probably won't until i'm there. Yeah, it's it's exciting.
It's something to very much look forward to.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yes, it is, and I understand the it's fun. It's
good that you said, You're like, I don't think I
can process it until I'm actually there. I feel like
that's the truest shit, because I you know, for my
fortieth birthday, you gifted the Grand Canyon trip, but it
was an eight month wait and then when we got there,
Like leading up to it, I was like until this
(16:42):
actually happens. I'm not going to believe that this is
actually happening to me. Sure, and then you you know,
we stepped off the bus, walked to the first railing,
I guess because there were railings all where those viewpoints were. Yeah,
walk to the first point and just experienced heaven on earth.
(17:05):
That's literally what it felt like. And I remember getting
so overwhelmed that I had to sit down and you
had to like help me because I was like, I
feel like I'm gonna hyperventilate, like I can't believe I'm here.
So yeah, got her. Yeah, I hope you experienced the
same I genuinely do. When we touch down and you
get a chance to just you know, we're in the
car heading to the first destination, whether it's a hotel
(17:28):
or whatever. Maybe it's a pub first, whatever we want
to do.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Oh, it's going to be a pub first.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Yeah. But it's all three.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
One hands me aguinness with a four leaf clover floating
on it. Let's go.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah, it's it's just one of those surreal things. And
I can't wait. I've been Yeah, I mean, this is
something that I've been planning for you since you surprised
me in twenty twenty three, in August of twenty twenty three,
so we're not going for a while, Like it's not
until Christmas of twenty twenty six, because we're traveling a
(18:03):
lot this year.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
There's a lot of travel this year.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Yeah, it's a lot this year. So I'm like, let's
well just push it. And I heard that Christmas in
Ireland is like extremely special. So we're Christmas people, we're
Christmas family. Our daughter's coming with us. We might be
roping in other family members from your lineage.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Seems likely, seems likely.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
So it's exciting. Andrew cried. I just want everyone to
know that that he cried reading the card. It's the
first time that I've ever gifted him something that he cried. Yeah,
now I'm gonna cry. How silly is that dog got him?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
We got to get a jewel got him?
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
That's you know, that's that's all there is. I think
we got some gifts in the near future, and then
some gifts in the far future, and lots of stuff
in between now and then lots of episodes of the
Last of Us, Yes, in between, you know, we'll be
finished part two by the time I go to Ireland.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
I don't know, no, probably not.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Who knows who's to say, probably not, though you're right,
probably not.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
It is the second week in February and we are
still doing emails. We're supposed to be into part two
by now.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
So no, let's just let's just let's just do email
shows for the rest of this. Let's just not do that,
just do email shows for the rest for the rest
of ever.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Oh okay, actually, all right, let's let's uh, let's pivot
into that. And I'm going to take a quick one,
real quick, because.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Quick one, real quick. Here we go.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
This actually goes back to Super Bowl Sunday, this past Monday,
February ninth, and it's from s Rend. Sorry, no, I
will never stop hearing you saying that, Like I will,
I'll never stop you from saying that. Sure, So it's
from s Fren. Remember he's a Niners fan.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
These are oh boy, here we go.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
So s Fren writes at four fourteen PM, which was
approximately two hours and sixteen minutes before kickoff of the
Super Bowl. Well, hello, nothing Telu related in my latest
email to y'all, I just want to say good luck
to you and your team in today's game. I'm rooting
(20:29):
for the Bird the beer. Damn it, I can't say it.
I'm rooting for that Alfred Hitchcock team. I'm just kidding seriously, though,
good luck to your team. Much love. Has always hoped
to hear your voices soon. S Frenn, thank you so
much for the support.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Of course, the Philadelphia rear windows got it.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Now. Yes, obviously he's talking about the movie The Birds
by Alfred Hitchcock, just in case what everyone might know
that movie exists. Hey, so let's just put that out there.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
If you're listening and you haven't seen The Birds, I
would recommend that you watch for your Window, which is
a better Hitchcock movie.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Yeah, I saw the Birds like Years upon Yours or north.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
By Northwest or even Psycho.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Sure, but that's not the play of the email.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
And then you could watch the Birds or just go
back and watch the Birds win the super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Either way, I'd go that route, go that route. That's
a that's a once in a that can never be
repeated again, you know what I mean. You can always
put an Alfred Hitchcock movie on, So.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I feel like you could always put the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Well, yeah, I can now but I can't ever experience
it that first talk, like the plays will never be
the same, even if they go to the Super Bowl
next year and they and again, it's not going to
be the same. It's just different. So all right, anyway,
thank you s Wren. I love it.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Even though you couldn't say it, we understand, we felt it.
The it's like that scene from Liar Liar is like
the color of this pen is o blue.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah, it's it's good. It's good. It's good. So all right,
thank you guys for dealing with very high highs and
some low lows and uh and some celibratory emails. Now
let's get to the real emails. So do you want
media first? You want to go first? Who talks first?
I talk first?
Speaker 2 (22:52):
It depends how we're doing here. But you know, this
one looks like like a meaty one. This one we're
going to do first. Here looks like it's got some
meat on the bone. You do this one. I scrolled
down just a little bit and I saw something that's
up your you'll be more attuned too.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Okay, So this is from Wendell A. From October eighteenth,
twenty twenty four. Hey, guys, long time no. See, it's
been two and a half years since my Holy shit,
two and a half years since I sent my emails.
Holy shit.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Yep, Wendell writes, holy shit, you reacted that way, but
that's what that's how Wendall also reacted.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
That's just that's absurd. We're doing better. But I just
listened to the latest pod, which marks the finale of
part one, so I figured I had to come back
and share my thoughts with you guys. Well, first things first,
the formalities. I hope you guys and your daughter are
good and healthy. I'm so happy that you came back
after a hiatus, and I can hear in your voices
(23:52):
how happy you sound to be doing the pod again.
It's good to see people you genuinely care about in
a good place again, and I hope all is going
well for you too. Wendell, Thank you so much. And
I love that you can hear it in our voices
because that's like the biggest thing for me, because I'm
a podcast listener to and you can tell when people
(24:12):
are just like phoning it in legitimately, they're just like.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
I die, They're sick. Get out of my face.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah it's not it's not a little different today, but
I think it's going out. Ah, just candding over them
fucking breathing.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Don't do that if you're a podcaster. Just take off, Yeah,
just take off.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Like nobody wants to hear the snuffle ofphogus through the
fucking earphones, especially if you're wearing headphones, because then you
you're all the shit.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Yeah. I have people that I'm like, I'm listening to it,
like every like I'll listen to you know, there are
podcasts that they're like my go to guys MHM and
gals obviously, but yes, if I even sense a hint off,
a sniffle, I just skipped the whole episode. I'm like,
you really, I can't do it. Yes, some voices, I'm
(25:09):
very I can't. There would be some. There are other
podcasts where I'm like, also, you know, no shade, there
are just certain frequencies that I can't deal with in
a voice.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
And I agree.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I'm like, you know, I like you as a person.
I enjoy your writing. I just can't listen to you.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Yeah, no, I agree, I agree. And it also like
sometimes for me, it's like a visceral reaction, reaction. I
think you I don't know if you have that, but like, no,
I'm not trying to be disgusting on the podcast, but
like if somebody sounds sick, I'll start to like feel it,
and I don't want that. I don't want any part
(25:50):
of that because then giving it to ears over the
Wi Fi no, not that, No, just you know what
their experience sympathy sick, Yeah, and it makes me gag.
I don't want to know. So right, we're all in
a good place, Thank you, Wendell, and we hope that
(26:12):
you and your family are also doing well. Yes, and
despite my own two year hiatus of emailing you, I
listened to every pod, including the ones for the TV show.
Your content continues to be great and it really feels
like I'm at a bar's table listening to some friends talking.
Don't worry, I'll get the tab shit.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
You don't know what you just got yourself into. Wintel
another round?
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Don't get cheap on me dot.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Didn't you just hear that? I'm Irish boy boy? Can
I put them down? Here? We go?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Sure? And thank you for that. So to start, I
finally got a PS five here in Brazil due to
the currency variation, something that might cost you guys four
hundred bucks. Here, I'll pay around thirty five hundred what
hold on thirty five three thousand, five hundred dollars after
the conversion to the Brazilian currency.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Bananas.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
That's Oh, that's crazy. Gab the wonderful, wonderful human being
that does the music for this podcast, the intro and
outro music. Yeah, she is from Brazil and has talked
many times about the conversions and the issues and how
things in Brazil are so expensive comparatively.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Surprising no one. She doesn't live in Brazil anymore.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
No, she doesn't. Well, yeah, but that's not because of.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Maybe it is though sure it didn't, sure it didn't
hurt anyway.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
So yeah, wow, that's that is ridiculous, and I'm so
glad that you finally got one. But holy crap. Yeah,
so a PS five is not cheap here. Me and
the wife were planning to buy one by the end
of the year, since my birthday is in December. Happy
belated birthday when beated. Yeah, so it'd be a nice
(28:01):
gift to myself. But then I quit my job. I
love it, But then I quit my job loll because
fuck that place and my.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Love that energy because that place amazing.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
I have to read the whole sentence again. It's too good.
But then I quit my job loll because fuck that place.
And my beautiful wife, who I joke is our financial manager,
but in actuality she really is. She said, you know what,
fuck it, let's buy it now. Yes, I love both
of you so much. Yes, and so we did. So
(28:36):
now I'm unemployed with a shiny PS five to play,
but I already have another job lined up. Don't worry.
That is good. I'm glad you're enjoying unemployment, but I'm
glad you have a job lined up.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Wendell. You'll appreciate this portmanteau up here. We would call
that fun employment, where you get to do something fun
and potentially collect money to do that. So there you go.
I hope you are living up fun employment.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Yes, or at least did, because this was October.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
That's true, Weentnell continues. I'm a good professional free in
the market, so I'm basically taking a vacation right now.
Fucking that's right. That's hats off to you. Enjoy your vacation.
I hope your holidays were fan fucking tastic and your
PS five is still kicking ass. So all that to say,
with the PS five, I signed up again for the
Deluxe PS Plus and Part one is included. Yes, I
(29:26):
hadn't even realized it, and I was so happy when
I saw it. So now I'm playing this beautiful game
again to its maximum potential, and holy shit, is it beautiful.
I'm probably gonna take fifty hours to complete it this
time because I'm stopping every time to go into photo mode.
The lighting tool. Holy shit, I'm in all naughty dog Bravo. Yeah,
(29:48):
that lighting tool is great, and I've been again, I've
been talking about this. I'm back into photo mode. I
took a break over the last two weeks just because
of like all the stuff we talked about happening in
the United States has just been fucking racked. But I
miss it. It is a good time, and God bless
the lighting tool. Why do I speak and say things
before just reading.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
The fus, just waiting for you to yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Yeah, so Wendel says here, Oh yeah, I'm also into
virtual photography. I don't remember if meant if I mentioned
that in the in the last email I sent two
years ago.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Love that.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
This is the third reference to how long it's been,
but Jack was one of the reasons I started liking VP.
We actually follow each other on the Twitter I have
for VP. I will shamelessly promote you because you shamelessly
promoted yourself, and the handle is at Kiddo two seven four.
By the way, I did not know that was you.
Did not know that was you.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
What could have given it away the fact that the
name on the account is Wendel I'll dare you. Oh
it is followed by you. I'm on it right now.
The top three posts here we have Horizon Banger, Alan
Wake two, one of my favorite games of all time,
Red Dead Redemption two ooh, and The Last of Us.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Part two perfect The Red Dead Redemption Part two Part
no just being a shit.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Wow, I'm sure the first.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Okay, then perfect? So I will go and creep your
page again as soon as we're done chatting on this episode.
But I love that we're mutuals without even knowing that
we were mutuals. That's such a good energy. Yes, but yes,
I was able to do some really nice VP with
Part two, even in my humble PS four. But I
was blown away by some of Jack's photos and the
entire community that I just knew I had to get
(31:37):
a PS five someday. Now it's finally here, and I
feel like a kid with how happy I am. So First,
thank you for the compliment, and I hope that you
were still killing it in the VP world. And I
will creep as soon as we're done all this. Second, Yes,
the PS five is something special when it comes to vping,
the Last of US games in general, and even again,
(31:59):
like I went downstairs and I know that this is
not PlayStation, but Andrew was playing Indiana Jones, which is
brand fucking new, and I also have it I downloaded
on my Xbox haven't played yet, but it's still I mean,
this game just came out I think in November of
last year, right, Indie.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Yeah, India was December. Yeah, it was December thirteenth. I think.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Yeah, it's the Last of US Part one and two
still look better. I don't. It's just I was watched
in the cut even the cut scenes they I mean,
I just don't understand what they're doing at Naughty Dog.
It's so much, it's so much better. Just usually look
(32:44):
look in always new game. I was just gonna keep
cutting you off.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
I was going to keep saying, well, if you just
I just if I could, just if I could, if
I could, just.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Do you remember that that one? Oh fuck, I don't
remember it is? But hello? Can I finish? Hello? Can
I fin it? Okay, I finish?
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Okay, yeah, okay, okay, let me finish. Listen before we
start tearing other games down to their assholes or whatever
that phrase is. You got it right, Okay, it's just different. Okay.
Indy isn't going for a photo realistic it's just not
(33:28):
doing that. So like, even though it's newer, it doesn't
necessarily equal better, is what I'll say. And on top
of that, just to put another bow on that, nobody
is making games that look like Sony first party games. Sure,
that's true of the Last of Us, but that's true
of any of their top three what I would describe
(33:50):
top three studios, which would be Naughty Dog, Insomniac, and
Santa Monica. No games look like that. Maybe I would
hear the argument for the newer Resident Evil Resident Evil
games from Capcom. They come very close, and a game
like Allan Wake or something like that, but again, they're
(34:10):
just it's just different. It's just different.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
I know it's different, but it's still.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Just it's great. I get what you're saying is that
it's incredible. Like, here's what I'll say when Grand Theft
Auto six comes out. Okay, and I talked about this,
I think on maybe I talked about this, and what's
Andrew playing Grand Theft Auto. It will be a game
that has like literal hundreds of millions of dollars poured
(34:38):
into it. Maybe a billion, I don't know. Yeah, it
will not look as good as the Last of Us.
It will not. I'm calling I'm calling it right now.
It will not look as good as the Last of Us.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
That's just crazy.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Well, it's also it's not the priority and you always
have to balance. Like what you get with the Last
of Us is a very focused, A to B kind
of thing. Sure, and what you get with Grand Theft
Auto is here is an entire two scale replica of
Miami and Orlando, you know. So it's like it's different.
(35:16):
It's different. So yeah, that's you know, it's interesting. It's interesting.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
I know, I just have to it's just about expectations.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Just sounds like you were calling out Indy and God
damn it, that game is a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
No, I'm not I was calling out the esthetics India because.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
I another Troy Baker game, by the way.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Yeah, and just FYI when he runs or grunt or sorry,
or jumps or does anything, say when gunts me I
was getting there, he grunts its Joel. It is just
Joel sounds. And I might play just for that because
that's I want more of that.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Troy Baker is doing a remarkable not impression, is of
doing a remarkable and bodyment of Indiana Jones. The voice
that Harrison He's not doing an impression of Harrison Ford,
but he's just it just sounds like Indiana Jones, which
is really really cool. But yeah, all of the exertions
and all of the barks, one hundred percent that's just Joel.
(36:16):
You're just like, oh, yeah, that's the sound when he's
pulling himself up over a ledge, when you know all
that shit, it's just Joel.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
It's so it's so good it is. Yeah, I definitely
want to play that. And I freed up some space
on my Xbox. I downloaded Indie Flight Simulator and Stalker
two chart of chernewbyl chordinal Bar which it is spelled
with an O, and that was intentional because it's made,
it's a Ukraine, it's a Ukrainian studio, and they did
(36:49):
it to basically say, this is the heart of us.
Go went into this game. Yeah, and I love that
so so much so and and Andrew played like the
first twenty thirty minutes because I made him like a
couple months ago. I was like, please play it, and
it's it's very fun. So I gonna get into that
(37:11):
shortly and stream it probably so Jada Vator Twitch find
me anyway. Back to the email, and Wendell says, back
to the game. When I get to the end, Melancholy
is always how I describe my feeling over it. It's
so beautiful, so potent, but the melancholy hits like a
freight train. When Joel lies and when you see Ellie
does not fully believe him, it feels like something breaking
(37:34):
that it's hard to put it back together. It's hard
to explain. No other game has ever made me feel
something so real quite like the Last of Us. No
game has taken me on a human journey quite like
this one. And this will live in eternity, and I'm
so grateful for that. I agree. I legitimately could not
say a word better than that. I agree one thousand percent.
(37:56):
No nuts, no nuts, and yes, jack Joel was right.
Joel was right. I'd have done the same thing. The
fireflies are a fucking joke, and sacrificing an innocent child
for an unfounded and measly chance of a quote cure
is not worth it. Ever, the world could never be
the same again. It has been twenty years. Humans are
(38:16):
worse now than they were before a cure. He puts
quotes around cure every time. I love you, Wendel. A
cure brought by the death of a child would only
cause more chaos. So yeah, fuck that. If Jackson is
the world that got it right, then that's live in
that world. I'm happy with that reality instead of chasing
a fantasy that right there, No fucking notes? Is everyone listening?
(38:41):
No notes?
Speaker 2 (38:43):
Trust me?
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Oh I do anyway. Can't wait to see you guys
tackle part too soon and I'm sure I'll have a
lot of thoughts to share with you. Guys. Thank you
for the amazing job you have done so far. Shout
out to Barb as well. And it's been a minute.
Who oh, Barb, I love you, I miss you. Uh
(39:07):
and hopefully we have some sort of surprise episode sometime
this summer because her and I are trying to plan
getting together this summer, so fingers crossed we can make
it happen, but to please keep entertaining us as much
as you can. Wendell, thank you, thank you. We absolutely
will try our best. And uh and I guess I'm
sorry I didn't say this at the beginning of the show,
but I'm sorry about taking off last week. Guys. Everyone,
(39:31):
it was just an insanely busy week for work and
there was no free time. So this week we have
three episodes we're recording to get ahead. Finally we're doing
that where it's happening. It's it's almost it's it's there.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Is someone who's been suggesting that all along. That's right,
it's Barb who who.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Oh my gosh, ps, this is really random, but I
needed to share this with you. I know you two
are from Philly, and I'm a big sports guy, but
I'm a dumas uh oh why because I fucking love
Philadelphia's teams. Goddamn right, except for the seventy six ers
Denver Nuggets. Guy here since six listen.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Wendell, Philadelphia doesn't even like the seventy six Ers.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Yeah, I can't fucking stand the Sixers. I could give
a shit. I wouldn't say Philadelphia doesn't care about the
Sixers because they're getting their own fucking stadium. But like,
I can't express to you how little I care about
that team or it's just not my sport, which makes
me sad because in grade school I played basketball for
(40:39):
a hot second and I wasn't bad at it, even
though I'm a fucking smurf, but like it just I
remember thinking, I'm like, there's just something missing for me
with this sport. I don't know what it is, Okay,
So maybe maybe it's just the intensity and like the
physical violent aspect of like hockey and football.
Speaker 2 (40:59):
I don't know, you need more contact in basketball, you need.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
More Maybe I don't know, but I just Wendel, you're
in good company. Andrew barely cares about sports in general, sure,
and and I care too much for the both of
us about the Eagles specifically.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
I care insofar as if you like a team that
is a direct opposition to Philadelphia, then you know I
can't get down with that. But I don't actually really
partake in the festivities as it were.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
Yeah, although you had a very good time down at
the Eagles send off. You were big smiley field.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
I'm just walking around. I'm like, hey, checking this out. Look,
I've been down there. I told you, I've been down
there a couple of times, weirdly enough, just not for games.
I've never been there for a game. But I've been
on the field twice now, and I've been in that
stadium three times, so.
Speaker 1 (41:48):
Yeah, pretty cool. I have never been on the field
until this that pit or February second, and I cannot believe.
I don't know how many people have experience this, but
I can't believe how small the stadium feels when you're
down on the field. But as a spectator, when I'm
(42:09):
up in the stands, I'm like, this place is fucking enormous.
But down on the field, I was like, oh god,
everyone's watching like it was a very weird, polarizing feeling.
But then I started running from the fifty yard line
to the fucking end zone, and I was like, I
don't even give a shit anymore.
Speaker 2 (42:27):
Like I could do this, I could play this game.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
I could do this. Yeah not with dudes, though, not
with those dudes. No, no, no, I where it's at
I know, it is a hugely rising sport. I'm trying
to get bellet into it. I'm like, I'm gonna, I'm
gonna succeed there. Anyway. I love how gritty, crazy and
absolutely loyal Philly fans are and identify that so much
with the soccer culture I have here it with my
(42:52):
local team in Brazil, so it was easy for me
to see that with the teams in Philadelphia. I love
that so much, and it makes me even happier that
Philly played their opener, their season opener in Brazil. So
that must have been so fun, just because we know
how passionate Brazilian fans are, not not just of like
(43:13):
sports or football slash soccer, but of concerts, musical artists,
movie like. Some of the most passionate people on earth
live in Brazil. Maybe Philadelphia is like a little Brazil
something to think about.
Speaker 2 (43:28):
I mean Brazil. I just I thought that was funny
because Brazil is massive, so technically everything is a little
version of you know, compared to Brazil, many things are small.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
No, I know, I meant the energy, Oh no.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
I get that.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
Well.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
Yeah, I see people at Carnival and I'm like, that's
Broad Street after the.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
Super Bowl, Yes, but classier where they're in Brazil.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
Yeah, okay, I just wanted to make sure yes, yes,
like thinking about like just what we had watched on
the news after the game, and I was like, I.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
Wouldn't describe that as classy.
Speaker 2 (44:05):
No, no, knocked over a light pole and they were
passing it down the street.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
I love Philly, Oh God, I love Beans. I love
so much that we are from there. I don't love
driving in and out of Phillies. I think that's my
biggest bitch about it.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
You just don't like traffic. Is that really the problem? Yeah,
that's in Philadelphia. That's inexclusive for Philadelphia, I know.
Speaker 1 (44:31):
Anyway. All right, So Wendell's rankings for sports teams are
the following. Okay, Number three the Eagles because they annoy
me only once a week. Yeah, hopefully, hopefully you're not annoyed, Wendell,
and you are celebrating with us. Number two the Flyers,
because well it's the Flyers. I agree. I agree. And
(44:55):
number one Phillies. The motherfucking Phillies. I I ever loved
and hated a team so much at the same time. Guys,
I have a Phillies red hat and a Bryce Harper jersey.
I actually cried at the twenty two World Series, and
this year I just knew something was going to happen,
and it did. But did it have to be to
(45:16):
the fucking Mets. Here's the thing, all right, Andrew, I'm
just taking over because it's all sports.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
So all right, I'm gonna go get a drink. I
guess can you.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
Bring me up more water please? I'm like, go out.
Speaker 2 (45:27):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
So the Phillies. I was extremely pregnant when the Phillies
won the World Series in two thousand and eight, so
I couldn't go down. And I don't know how many
people listening are aware of this. So Andrew mentioned Broad
Street as one of the main hubbubs of celebration for
Philadelphia sports team fans. That is just where everyone congregates
(45:51):
to function up, break windows, break lampoles.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
They were very let's be very clear here, they weren't.
There was none of that. It was still was. There
was some shit falling, but they were not breaking windows.
And the yes they did, oh okay, well.
Speaker 1 (46:05):
The next day there were like fucking five or six
businesses with their windows completely shattered.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
Well they shouldn't have been there. I think it's.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Probably it's the windows fault.
Speaker 2 (46:16):
And let's also be Broad Street. The cross section of
the center city of Philadelphia is Broad and Market and
there sits City Hall. So Broad Street is a very central,
large thoroughfare through the city.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
Yeah, and if you actually walk through City Hall. This
is kind of a neat thing for people who are
not from Philly and have never visited. But if you
aim to make sure you do this, because I liked
it even as a Philly resident. If you go through
the tunnel, like it's a little kind of you know,
stone tunnel of under city Hall, and you go into
(46:54):
the center, there's a literal. There's a literal like mosaic
in the center that says you standing in the center
of the city. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
I like, you're in the courtyard. And if you look,
if you look north, south, east, and west, you'll be
looking on Broad or Market Street in those directions. You
could see right out.
Speaker 1 (47:13):
Yeah, it's pretty It's really it's really neat. So make
a point to do that. It'll take you ten seconds.
Speaker 2 (47:17):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (47:19):
So the Phillies, the motherfucker Phillies. I also have a
Bryce Harper Jersey and I love it Bristown Blue. Quite
a lot of Phillies gears as well, because I had
this weird thing in my head during the twenty two
World Series that after every single game, I had to
buy something, and every time I did, they would win.
So I was like, I gotta fucking buy something else.
(47:40):
So now you know, I have a bunch of stuff,
and I'm still happy to have all that stuff. But yeah,
if anytime we lose, it sucks. But when we lose
to a New York team, it's the fucking worst. And
so I feel you, Wendell. The Eagles are my number
one team, then the Phillies, then the Flyers. But it's
still hurts. It's still that that that definitely did hurt.
(48:03):
And last year, last year was just yeah, anyway, moving
on so Philly.
Speaker 2 (48:12):
In the past.
Speaker 1 (48:13):
No, that's that's all Philly does. So uh, Wendall says,
fucking Phillies, I love you so much. I hate you
so fucking much. Philly is truly the only place in
the US I actually want to visit because I need
to go to a Phillies game at Citizens Bank Park
one day, so care to spare me a guest room?
If we had a guest room one thousand percent, you'd
be able to just stay here, hang out, we'll go
(48:36):
to the game together because they're not that expensive, to
be honest. And yeah, so well we could get you
down to the bank. We do have a very nice,
semi cheap hotel like three minutes down the road where
all of our family stays when they come to visit
for holidays and stuff. So if that's something you'd be
willing to do, then let's.
Speaker 2 (48:56):
Go bare minimum. We'll get you the best cheese steak
in the city.
Speaker 1 (49:00):
Yes, for free on us, like whatever you And that's
the thing when people come in and visit, we tend
to buy, like we're like all right, yeah, we're buying
the dinners. We're making the dinners. We'll take you out,
we'll go here. We'll do this because we don't have
a room to put people up in. It's just you know,
it is what it is. Yeah, we'll make it up
with food. Oh and one final thing. After listening to
(49:22):
so many Philadelphia based sports podcasts, some of them being
radio shows, I can fully identify your Philly accents, especially Jack's.
It's great. Seriously, thank you, I love you guys.
Speaker 2 (49:35):
And what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (49:38):
Love you guys, talk to you soon. Yeah, it's funny.
Anytime I see people doing an accent for the quote
Philadelphia area, it's always Delco that they really lean hard into.
That's not Philly.
Speaker 2 (49:53):
It's the easiest one.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
Yeah, it's philly Ish, but it's not like the people
that we went to school with. Yeah, and us ourselves
didn't sound like that. And it's always so emphasis like
overdone and overcooked in the videos where like you know,
I'm gonna get a cheese, they can go home. It's
(50:17):
just a home, no snow like like stop, it's not
if I get super pissed, maybe maybe I go into
a little deeper.
Speaker 2 (50:29):
Or super drunk, I don't know, super drunk.
Speaker 1 (50:31):
Yeah, either way. Yeah, Delco seems to be the one
that people imitate the most, but I don't. I don't
really consider that the quintessential Philly accent.
Speaker 2 (50:42):
No, no, I agree. For as in your face as
the accent can be, sure, there is a subtlety to it.
So it's every impression is just accentuating the weirdest part
of a thing. So I get it, you know, Yeah,
but I also understand. I also know when I hear it,
I'm like, if I don't know a person and I
(51:04):
hear it talk Philadelphia, yeah so my brethren, Yeah yeah,
so yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, amazing.
Speaker 1 (51:16):
Anyway, thank you so much for that, Wendel. We hope
you're doing well and enjoying your PS five and hopefully
you played your fifty hours thus far and enjoyed the
f out of it. Would love to hear more. Yeah yeah,
but we're at an hour, so I think we should
(51:37):
have only do that one.
Speaker 2 (51:39):
That's okay. Now we got a lot done. We got
a lot of tea. I mean, this was the this
was the Philadelphia Sports Show. Yes, probably you should probably
name it as such, like it should be like episode
reader Emails blah blah blah colon the Philadelphia Sports Show.
Speaker 1 (51:56):
Maybe I will, because it was just it's trying to
catch you everyone up on the last two weeks, from
your birthday to the Eagles win in the Super Bowl,
to the terrible events that happened in the country. Like
I didn't want to just skip over that stuff just
to get to emails. And I understand if people get
annoyed with that and they're like, we're just here to
listen to other people's thoughts and then your thoughts about
(52:19):
their thoughts, not your thoughts about other things that are
not about last of us. I get it.
Speaker 2 (52:26):
I got bad news for you. If that's your friend.
Speaker 1 (52:31):
We're gonna stop there today. But it's good to Sorry.
I just hit the shit out of my mic. It's
good to be back. I have to. It's good to
be back. I'm excited to record with you tomorrow and
Thursday and uh and then yeah, we'll get some cheese
(52:53):
sakes and go home and just hang out.
Speaker 2 (52:57):
What what is happening right now?
Speaker 1 (53:01):
I'm just making people making fun of people who make
fun of the Philly accent.
Speaker 2 (53:05):
Okay, I don't know. Yeah, all right, I don't like
the making fun of. But then I don't like the
making fun of the making fun of. It's a double
they all can it's all dividing by zero. I don't
like either one.
Speaker 1 (53:17):
I know, I know, it's just fun. It's fun for me.
But yes I am. I'm a happy little I'm a
happy little eagle this week. And yes, well I'm forty one.
I don't think I'm.
Speaker 2 (53:31):
An eaglet speaking whatever you want to be.
Speaker 1 (53:35):
There are YouTube channels. Several YouTube channels that we put there.
Speaker 2 (53:47):
Listen, the cohesive thread is eagles, but sometimes it's literal
like now, and sometimes it's a figurative eagle, like a
person dressed in green.
Speaker 1 (54:00):
Also, I baked the eagles cake today and I decorated
and it's an absolute shit show. And I'm gonna post
that on our coffee as well, So make sure you
go over there to see the pictures of all of
us down at the link, as well as the the
crappy but awesome eagles cake. But yeah, it sounds like
(54:22):
we're like underwater or drowning. So yes, there's channels. They're
live streams from Big Bear Lake, California, of these this
family of eagles, and they had two little babies hatch
in the last couple of weeks, and like last week,
they were tiny, little fluffy gray balls.
Speaker 2 (54:41):
And yep, no, you said that, I'm not letting that one. Nope,
you're not gonna ddit that one out. I will call
back to that one, don't you dare.
Speaker 1 (54:55):
They were fluffy, gray, fluffy little babies.
Speaker 2 (55:00):
Now they were fluffy gray balls.
Speaker 1 (55:07):
And now this week, like tonight, I turned it on
after dinner and they're they're like ferocious looking already like
a week later. So it's very exciting and I love
them very much. And we found out Andrew googled for
me and the names of the the mom and dad, Eagle,
(55:28):
Jackie and Shadow Shadow. Is that not a little kismet
given our absolute wonderful love of baby Shadow? Isn't that wonderful?
I just think it's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (55:43):
So, I mean, you know, I don't I just follow,
you know, all the signs point to yes, why that's sure?
Speaker 1 (55:50):
So anyway, just if anybody's interested with hanging out watching
live cam footage of eagles in their nest, feeding their
babies and living their life, just.
Speaker 2 (56:01):
Just hashtag just eagle things, tag go birds, hashtag go birds.
