Hey listeners, we're finally going to do it! No, not post ass, but we're going to try out doing the livestream that was the $250 tier goal. Our plan is to livestream during NCAA basketball conference tournament week. Details are yet to be worked out and we'll let yous know when the date gets closer. Looking forward to making fun of and yelling at you all in stream - Tom & Liam
2024-02-28 22:02:27 +0000 UTC View PostFamous lawyer, Megachusetts proponent, and Sailor of the Quarter Shocks joins the boys for a far-too intelligent discussion on labor law via the the NFLPA CBA. We talk the history of sports unions, free agency, guaranteed money, and why you should be in a union.
2024-02-08 03:26:57 +0000 UTC View PostFriend of the pod (and of the working class internationally) Patrick joins us again to talk about the pervasiveness of right-libertarianism, fascism, and other forms of of reactionary bullshit that can be found in strength sports. We cover guys like Mark Rippetoe, Jim Wendler, and Greg Glassman. Hope you all enjoy the episode and thank you for being a patron!
2023-12-16 18:32:57 +0000 UTC View PostFriend of the show Justin Roczniak (aka donoteat aka the polish pistol) from WTYP joins Liam and Tom on a quest to discover just how many ways the 76er's Center City arena proposal is not a good idea. We discuss the history of the site, why everyone thinks another new megabuilding will fix Market East, and also engage in podcast delirium.
And of course, thank you all for being a patron!
2023-09-21 02:34:15 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, like every other podcast we're seeing some bullshit with people's cards being declined over the Patreon HQ's move to a tax haven. So please double check that your payment is going through. Thank you so much and hope to see some of yous at the WTYP live show this month!
2023-09-01 18:39:19 +0000 UTC View PostJordan from Brigham Young Money joined Liam and Tom to talk about the EA Sports NCAA/CFB franchise and what the hell is the delay in bringing college football back to video games (spoiler: capitalism). We also talk about pus eruptions, Madden, 2k's forced advertisements, and assorted other bullshit throughout.
Thank you again for being patrons...hope to see some of you at the WTYP live show this September.
Hey All,
Theres a bit of a delay in getting this bonus recorded due to some personal matters. It‘ll be out, but please accept our apologies for the delay.
Thank you,
Tom & Liam
2023-08-02 14:47:01 +0000 UTC View PostFor June's 2023's bonus we were tasked with bringing to the table three favorite potential rule changes in sports. We also end up talking about if pro/rel would work in American sports, and finish the bonus with a discussion and on and question for you: what's the worst team you've ended up having to root for (in the sense of somehow benefiting your favorite team). Thank you all for being patrons and I hope you enjoy! Also fuck SCOTUS, it is an illegitimate institution.
2023-07-02 19:02:36 +0000 UTC View PostTom here. It will be out Sunday. We just recorded it and it took like five times because zencaster AND my local recording ate 15 minutes of it. But it's in the can I just need to put it together when my Vyvanse is going.
Thanks!
2023-06-30 20:18:32 +0000 UTC View PostListener favorite @SrBrocialist joins us on a bonus episode exploring the history of MMA in the US, starting with the Dojo Wars, then discussing Count Dante, the Gracies, and finally, the absolute horrid state of things with Dana White at the helm. This was recorded before the purchase of UFC by WWE...if you guys like this one we can have Patrick back on to talk about that soon!
2023-06-01 00:09:36 +0000 UTC View PostAt long last - the Podcast that was Promised! The backstory here - listener Etienne wrote an episode of WTYP - while it did not make it to that podcast, Tom & Liam decided to take Etienne up on the offer. The episode will make the most sense with the attached slides, as there are references to what is being seen on the screen. This is a meaty one and I hope you enjoy! Thank you, Etienne!! And thank you, patrons, for being patient (except the six of you who left).
2023-04-10 19:56:56 +0000 UTC View PostTom here - we have two bonuses & a regular ep in the can. Should be getting them out before midweek.
Again, appreciate everyone's patience and understanding!
2023-03-12 13:22:12 +0000 UTC View PostTom here. I want to apologize once more for the delay in getting the bonus episodes and episodes in general up. There's been a cascade of things in January ranging from the mundane, expected rhythm of the school year to the random, unexpected. Things like someone trying to break into my house (everything is fine, no castle doctrine was invoked) and serious family issues. I appreciate all of you for sticking with us during this time. Overall, everything seems to be smoothing out, and we should...
2023-02-05 14:29:19 +0000 UTC View PostAfter Tom passed Rocz's challenge of openly mocking Azov Battalion at the Ukrainian Club, he agreed to come onto the pod and talk about baseball. In this audio essay, we explore the thesis wherein the only way to improve baseball is to make it more difficult to both play and enjoy.
There are slides you can use to follow along attached to this post.
2022-11-17 02:19:55 +0000 UTC View PostTom here: we're aware of that, we have to work on fixing it or something once I figure that out.
2022-10-01 16:43:44 +0000 UTC View PostThis is absolutely our most intelligent episode yet, thanks entirely to our guest Aubrey Nagle, the Director of Practice Change at Resolve Philly; an organization dedicated to helping journalists serve their communities with more equitable coverage. We discuss the perception of athletes in the media, their relationship with fans, and the intersections of race and gender within sports and sports fans. We're really happy with how this episode turned out and hope that you enjoy it as well! Thank...
2022-09-18 00:44:17 +0000 UTC View PostFrancis from What a Hell of a Way to Die joins us to talk about performative patriotism in sports. We talk about Black Rifle teaming up with the Dallas Cowboys to be even more horrible, the national anthem, and the shitty fake camo gear they come up with every year. Thank you so much for your support!
2022-08-01 19:19:48 +0000 UTC View PostWell, we finally reached enough patrons for Tom to throw away his poop chair. The new chair remains unpooped in...for now.
2022-07-27 19:01:11 +0000 UTC View PostWe have a lot of new patrons here thanks (presumably) to Alice's appearance. Thank you for joining!
I wanted to point out we did a small revamp of the Patreon and added welcome messages and extra tiers. The $1 tier is the same (now called the Bandwagon Fan), we added a $3 tier (the 700 level) that will get a shout out when you subscribe. We also added a super-special North Catholic graduate tier for $10 where you'll get a shout-out at the end of every episode.
We also ...
2022-07-07 15:28:57 +0000 UTC View PostAlice from Trashfuture, Well There's Your Problem, and Kill James Bond joins the lads to discuss the insanity that is the Philadelphia sports fans. Tom uses his history degree (Go Owls) to discover the first ever incident of Philly fans being rowdy. We also cover the snowball incident, the 700 level, Dick Allen, and a few other incidents. Now with 100% more seafood chat (Liam's favorite). Thanks for being patrons!
2022-07-06 21:08:03 +0000 UTC View PostTom here with an FYI. The June bonus is recorded, but Liam’s crypto rig froze the recording every 8-12 minutes, meaning there’s 8 parts I need to stitch together. I’ll try my best to get this out by the end of the weekend.
2022-07-02 16:20:57 +0000 UTC View PostTom and Shocks browbeat Liam into listening to sea stories for about 20 minutes before we actually start talking about baseball. Once there, we talk about the Curse of the Bambino, famous Boston hardcore band Dropkick Murphys, witches, and Don Zimmer's face.
PS this episode is stitched together with duct tape and my cat is an asshole.
2022-04-30 19:57:54 +0000 UTC View PostBonus No. 4 is up! Think of this one as a sequel to the WTYP bonus episode on The Process. Tom and Liam air their grievances against extremely online Sixers fandom in a conversation about what the Process actually was, if it worked, and what its legacy is on the league today. Our conclusion may surprise you! Thanks for all of your support folks.
2022-03-31 20:56:24 +0000 UTC View PostHello 10kL listeners, we wanted to get some thoughts on what sort of content you crave besides a monthly bonus episode. This would likely be behind a higher tier of membership ($3 is the thought). The three we've thought of are:
- Live Q&A session. Once a month, your hosts are live and you can talk to them about sports.
- Twitch Steam. Your hosts (most likely Tom) will play MLB: The Show or NBA 2K while you watch them fail horribly.
- Sports Writing. A once m...
2022-03-18 15:39:06 +0000 UTC View PostIt's our third bonus! Kyle and Greg from Brigham Young Money join us. It's a meandering conversation ostensibly about the Utah Jazz but we get a lot of dumb jokes and shit-talking in. If you like our more chatty type episodes, this bonus is for you. The guys were super funny and we really enjoyed having them on.
2022-03-01 02:00:48 +0000 UTC View PostIt's our second bonus! Tom and Liam talk the Chicago Bulls post-Jordan with Kate Wagner of McMansion Hell fame.
2022-01-30 21:57:02 +0000 UTC View PostOur first Bonus Episode! Ft. Joe from Lions Led by Donkeys.
