• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to mention something off the bat, and like, I don't
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: know how necessarily serious this is, but it was something
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: cool that I thought happened this past week. So you know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I'm just we're all at home and we get a
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: text from Len and he's like, oh my gosh, our
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: podcast is number eleven. We're number eleven. We're number eleven.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: It's like, what the hell are you talking about? So
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: apparently there is a podcast database company out there called
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Million Podcasts, and they ranked the eighty top Philly sports
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: podcasts out there, and we were ranked number eleven out
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: of eighty Philly sports podcasts. Eric, I don't know how
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: they do it. I don't know how they go through
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: their evaluation, no clue at all, but I thought it
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: was cool and I wanted to men because, like I mean,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I remember our first couple of years with the podcast Awards,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: which are now like huge and really popular. I know
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: somehow we got nominated, like a couple of years in
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: a row or something. Of course we didn't win, but
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know how these things happened, but I just
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: wanted to throw it out there. We're number eleven on
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: this list for whatever reason. Our good friends at the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Hit and Season podcast they were number two. And then
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: it was so bizarre some other like w I P.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Personalities and other credentialed reporters who have podcasts in the
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Philly sports world with like well beneath us, and I'm thinking,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: how the hell does this happen? So I don't know
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: how they do it, but I'll take it.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Well, it's our wonderful Personalities. Oh yes, I just research
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: on a million podcasts and apparently the founders are deaf,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: so I'm not sure how much.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Creeds I was like, I was like, are you kidding me? Like,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: what's happening?
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: We beat John Clark, He's been there forever. Yeah, I
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: think we have a good podcast. I think it's different.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: I think I do think we try different stuff. We hell,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: during just just look at our COVID cover like our
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: COVID podcasts. My god, we were you and I did
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: a podcast to our podcast on the Tiger King.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, was nothing to do King. Yes, we had the
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: break from the break in sports. That's what that year was.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: And it was actually pretty damn fun to do the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: podcast during the pandemic.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: And we brought Mark in from l A, our music buddy.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: He's done movies and music podcasts with us, so it's
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: not just sports. Maybe that's what kind of gave us
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: an edge because I did look at somebody the podcasts
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: they kind of did the same thing.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: No completely understanda hit in season was well above us.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: There.

  Speaker 2: That is a little ship. Yeah, I mean every time
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: we interview them, and they're great follows on Twitter, great people,
• 6:53

  Speaker 2: clean sounding, like you know, not always like this one
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: my equipment and Len in particular too, but like but no,
• 7:06

• 8:06
  Speaker 2: let's get into this week's show. We're gonna start off
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: with some Philly sports history. You know, we've been diving
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: into Philly sports history a little bit more here on
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: the show. Got a few that I want to mention here.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: As we are in mid June, let's go back to
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: June fourteenth, nineteen forty nine, Yes, nineteen forty nine were
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Eddie Whitekiss. He was shot
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: in a Chicago hotel by an obsessed fan, and he
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: miraculously recovered and returned to the nineteen fifty season to
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: the help to help the Whiz Kids at that point.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: So that's nineteen forty nine June fourteenth, and then we're
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: moving along to June eleventh, nineteen seventy six, Philadelphia Flyers
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: famously defeated the Soviet Red Army team by a score
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: of four to one at the Spectrum during what was
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: called the Super Series. It was really a defining moment
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: in Flyers hockey lore Let's move four years after that
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: to nineteen eighty. Nineteen eighty was huge for the Philadelphia
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: seventy six Ers. June ninth that year, Game six of
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference Finals against Boston Philadelphia seventy six Ers,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: you had Larry Bird going up against Doctor J and
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: facing each other, and Bird, I mean Bird, he delivered
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: a breakout performance. If you remember watching that game, I
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: was three years old, but I've of course seen footage
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: of it. Sixers would advance and face the Los Angeles
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Lakers in the finals.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: That year. And then we have June thirteenth, nineteen ninety seven,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: in baseball's inaugural interleague game, the Philadelphia Phillies faced the
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Blue Jays. The relief pitcher Wayne Gomes debuted. He earned
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the win, I know in a four to three game.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I know, going back the way I actually read when
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I was going through some Philly sports history here, Eric
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: and I was like, Okay, I'm gonna put this one
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: on the agenda here to talk about Wayne Gomes his
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: career four point six e er and with the Phillies. Man,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: he was like four point twenty four, four point two
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: six during the ninety eight and ninety nine season. Not
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the greatest pitcher in the world, my friend, not at all.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: No, And I was there for a couple of those.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: He was the He was the classic. You're sitting at
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: seven hundred level, you have the entire section to yourself. Yeah,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: like me, you and Lynn like in section seven fourteen
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: alone at the Old Vet and Phillies are down four
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: to one. It's in the fourth inning and nine times
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: out of ten a player like Wayne Gham was on
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: the mound and you're sitting there just watching. You're like,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: does this team have any hope. Right, where the hell
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: are we going? This guy's on our team. This guy's
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: a third pitcher in our in our rotation, Like, what
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: are we doing?
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Yes exactly. I was like, why am I here?
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Thank god? I only paid like eight bucks for
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: the ticket. Yeah, you know, so that's my Wayne Gumps thought.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Going backwards Game six Eastern Conference Finals, Oh, that was
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: really the game that kicked off like the next four
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: or five years of the rivalry with Celtics sixers and
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: ban violent violent series. Yes, a lot of violent series there,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: and Andrew Toni became the Boston Strangler. They beat them
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: in eighty three and got there, but the Celtics beat
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: the media. That was a great couple of years, Celtics
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Celtics sixers. You don't really see robberies like that anymore.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Going back to nineteen forty nine, Roe just some thoughts
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: were One thought was was that what influenced the beginning
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: of The Natural where that where Barbara Hershey shoots Robert Redford?
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: My gosh, maybe I never thought that.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: I've never heard that before. And I'm like, because that
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: part of the movie is that was the part of
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: the movie. I'm always like, where is this coming from
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: like I don't understand. I never did enough research, didn't
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: know if like that's like why that happened in that movie,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: because leading up to that part it made sense, and
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: then that happened, It's like why did she shoot him right? Crazy?
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Like I don't know. Did that was at the influence
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: for Natural if they went out their nose hit us
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: up absolutely.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: If you're watching on YouTube, believe it in the comments
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: if you can, or shoot us off an email Philadelphia
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Sports Table at gmail dot com. I'm gonna put it
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: right here on the screen for folks who are watching
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: on YouTube. Again, Philadelphia Sports Table at gmail dot com.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Let us know, dude, I never thought of that. That's incredible.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Well, imagine being a twelve year old Eric Leonard in
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighty eight watching that movie on VHS over now
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: because you love baseball, right, and you love the baseball parts,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: but then this We're Ladies shoots the hero and the
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: stomach in the beginning, and you're like, this isn't Baseball's like,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: what's happening? I don't know this part? And then my
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: favorite honestly, I'm not the biggest Flyers fan. Now it's
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: just hockey. In general. But I'm a huge Flyers like
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: historian fan. I've watched the Flyers documentary that HBO put
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: out years ago, like thirty times I the Russian the
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Russian mauling that the Flyers did to them in like
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: nineteen seventy six. Yeah, it's so much fun to watch,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: and now you can watch it on YouTube, like the
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: entire game. But back then when the documentary came out, like,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: there's nowhere to go see that, right, Like I never
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: saw just the highlights from the actual documentary. And if
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: you go back, like what the way the Russians played,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: It's almost comical. Now they're so slow upright, like everything
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: they do, you're just like, how does no How does
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: no team just beat the shit out of them and win?
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: And the Flyers figured it out. But they truly beat
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: the living shit ass to the player. They left the
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: ice and ed van Imp when he comes off the
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: he comes out of the penalty box and just wham
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: like one of the worst chief shots I've ever seen
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: in my entire life. Yes, but that was the one
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: that made them lead the ice. Yeah, but a great
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: moment in Flyer's history, Philadelphia history, US history. Quite honestly,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: well then it leads to the Olympics, the nineteen eighty Olympics.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: You know where the US team ends up, Like I'm
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: assuming and I don't know this assuming after the Flyers
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: kicked the Russians ass it was basically Russia at that
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: time was like, okay, we got to get our stuff
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: together on the international scene in terms of sports and
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: especially hockey. We got to get it together for the
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Olympics here. So you know, they were dominant. The Russian
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: team was dominant, and they should have lost. I'm sorry
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: they should have beat probably the US team. But what
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: an amazing story that was.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: And again you US dominance, baby, it's US dominance all
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the way around.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Well, the one the one area they the one arena
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: they did dominate us was their their uniforms are amazing.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: They were good. Yeah, yeah, awesome, Yeah, awesome with.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: The CCP across the ample across the so cool.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, all right, folks, doesn't mean we'd like the Soviet Union,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: all right, all right, just keep things cond or do
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: you do you speak for yourself? Okay, I'll speak for myself.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: All right, Well that's going to do it for our
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: sports history. This week in Philly in Philly Sports. So
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: let's move on to getting into this Phillies team. Gotta
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: tell you it's Philly's team. They seem to have multiple personalities.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: They are great for moments, then they go on a
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: losing streak, then they seem to look unstoppable. Then they
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: lose a series against the Pittsburgh Pirates for God's sake.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: So we want to give our thoughts on where this
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: team is at ray now. And we did get some
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: news today as we're recording this. On Wednesday, June eleventh,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: not good news in terms of Aaron Nola and MRI
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: revealed that Nola has a stress reaction in his ribcage.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: He's going to be shut down from throwing for at
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: least another two weeks, if not more. He's been on
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the injured list since May sixteenth with an ankle spring.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: So Aaron Nola's body just not holding up here at all.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: His six point one six ERA is the worst of
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: his entire season, of any season that he has played
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: throughout his career. The one thing that has really been constant, though,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: regardless of his seasons and stats eric is that he's
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: always been durable. Aaron Nola has always been durable. He's
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: never gotten to the point where he's been so injured
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: that he's missed significant, significant periods of time on the mound.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: And I don't know, maybe father time is catching up
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: to him right now, but it's it's definitely a concern.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: It really is, I think as this team is moving forward,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: and yes, Andrew Paynter is waiting in the wings, and
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: this pitching staff is not not terrible by any stretch,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: but it's it's just kind of unfortunate what's going on
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: with Aaron Nole at this point.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you kind of have to like look back and
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: bank all the all the seasons that he had where
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: he wasn't injured, you know what I mean, Like, Yeah,
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: he was that durable guy that was always reliable, your
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: number two pitcher and number one for a short while
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: before before Wheeler came to town. So for him to get
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: injured at age whatever, he is like thirty something now
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: his first like real major injury and like kind of
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: loss of time not bad. Actually, you know you just
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: said it. He is very durable. So it's also good
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: that we know there's something wrong with him because there
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: was a lot of scuttle but that he's Aaron noa
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: is done. It's over for him. I mean, he looked
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: awful this year. At least there's injuries there to explain it,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: and we don't have to be like, oh crap, we
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: have to pull up Andrew Paynter prematurely. All that stuff
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: so good that you know good, you know about the injury.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: As far as the team goes, you know, the pitching
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: staff is pretty solid even without that. I would love
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: to see one of the young guys what's his name,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: able mc gable, mcabel, Maybe Painter comes up. Maybe they
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: make a trade here at some point for an arm.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: The bullpen's doing a pretty good job, but just the
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: I don't the type of injury Nola has precipitates some
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: kind of movement, either from the minor leagues or from
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: a trade from another team, because that's a nagging injury,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: like when you just have ribs and you're throwing that
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: hard that that doesn't just go away, and you could
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: you can easily reaggravate that that type of injury. So
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: hoping they do something there. As far as the team goes,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: you know, so up and down right, and we kind
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: of knew this was going to be the case. They've
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: been up and down for the past couple of seasons,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: even the World Series year.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we've seen it before.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and but the I told you before the show,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: the whole league is up and down. You know. At
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: one point the Mets were just the Mets swept the
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Phillies earlier this year, it looked like they're running away
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: with NLIS and the National League for that matter, and
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: then a month later, the Phillies are the best team
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball, including the National League, and it's like, Okay,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: here we go, and then they've lost the series. They
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: have what three series in a row, one to the
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Pirates of all teams, and now they're kind of they're
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: kind of comfortable where they've been all the past couple
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: of years. They're sitting at what the last wild card spot.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: It's mid June. This is kind of where they've been
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: the past couple of seasons. And you don't want to
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: peak too early. So I'm not too worried, Like I'm
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: right now, I have up the last seven days. I'm
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: looking at the splits for the last of days for
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: the batters. Brandon Marsh's bat in five hundred cast is
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: three eighty five real mood two three thirty three, bombs
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: three eighty, Schwarz baton one fifteen, he's in the toilet. Yes,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: that could flip next week. And that's what this team
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: is like. As long as there's somewhat healthy, Harper comes back,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Nola comes back, or they may they make some trades
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: kind of it kind of makes some complimentary moves to
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: the to the to the lineup and the rotation. They're
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: gonna be fine. Yeah, And it's it's one of those
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: This is one of those baseball Baseball fans are finicky,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: like like man feelers are the best team and then
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: things go a little south, like they lose the series
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: of the Pirates, and it's.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Like for like a whoa, for like a year exactly.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: I mean it's a week, Yes, it's it's June eleventh, Yes,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: June eleventh.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Relax, And yes, I know, folks that they have lost
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: a decent amount of games. And I don't think Eric
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: and I are trying to just like play this off
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: or glaze it over by any stretch, but because look,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: there are realities with who this team is supposed to
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: be and where they are in terms of the power,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: in terms of the home runs, I mean, in all honesty, yes,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: And our friend of the show, Destiny Legardo from Phillies
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Nation dot com, she shot off a tweet today which
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: I responded to that it was kind of depressing. I
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: mean the fact that the home run leader board is
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: not that great. Schwarber hit his twenty first home run
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: tonight against the Cubs, but then you have Bryce Harper
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: with nine home runs on the season, Kepler with seven,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Turner with seven, Castianos with six, Bone with five, Real
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Muto with five, and Bryce and Stott with four. Like,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: the home run leader board is not all that great,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: but I don't think it needs to be fantastic for
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: this team to win games. I mean, just look what
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: happened tonight with the Cubs. They handle the Cubs. Hezu's
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Lozardo was fantastic today pitching against the Cubs. Like they
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: didn't need to absolutely kill certain teams when it comes
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: to home runs. So I just wanted to put that
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: out there as well, that yes, while the leader board
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: does look depressing, and it kind of is from a
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: home run standpoint, it doesn't mean that this team doesn't
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: have the talent and that they can't go far once
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: playoff time comes. I mean, it's a streaky team. They've
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: always been streaky. I think, folks, we got to just
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: sit back and say, okay, so enjoy this baseball team,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: you know when when of course they're winning. But you
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: know what, they they can get back on their feet.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: You know we've got our you know, we've got our
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: banner here at the bottom saying, can they get back
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: on their feet? Yes, absolutely, the Phillies can get back
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: on their feet. They just won this series against the Cubs.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Perhaps they're already starting to get back on their feet.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: We'll just pull back and gain some perspective. They're the
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: seventh best team in baseball right now. Yeah, the three
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: teams that are better than them in the National League
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: are the Mets, the Cubs, Dodgers, and the Giants. Giants
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: are half a game up on them. Cubs are pretty
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: damn good, and we just took a series from them. Okay,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: those Pittsburgh's the pirate there. The pitching matchups were pretty tough,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Like they faced the Skins kid who might be like
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: a generational pitcher. I've I've never seen have you seen
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: a fastball move like that? Off beat? So it's insane.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: But the Mets are stacked, but we're five games underneath them,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: and we just we were just two games over them.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: It's it's baseball, so it's all flu Yeah, it is,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: like I said, and we'll get We'll play the Dodgers
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: again again. The Cubs are the second best team in
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Nash League, and we just took two out of three. Yeah,
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: so I have no doubt that they're gonna pick it
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: up again here. And then they're gonna ship the bed
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: at the end of June and then kill at the
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: beginning of July, and then the All Star break will
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: come and then they'll suck after that. We've already seen
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: this before. I think because of some of the little
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: nagging injuries because they are older, that's going to start
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: to pile up. Possibly you're gonna have to make some
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: like like I said, some supplementary complimentary moves, either from
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: the minors or from like other teams, because they these
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: are I'm afraid these might start piling up, those a
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: little nagging injuries, and all of a sudden, you know,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: you know, Rojas is leading off the leading order.
• 24:18

• 25:31
  Speaker 1: to take that break now, and when we come back,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get into some sixers talk. We're gonna talk
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: about Jeffrey Lurie making a fifty million dollar donation to
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: something that has really never been done before. And then
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: we've got some flyers talk coming to you. Stick around,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: we'll be right back. All right, we are back, and
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: now let's dive into a story that came through on
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: many of our social media feeds today, and it was
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: the fact that Jeffrey Lurie and I genuinely think that
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: he could be he could be the most community minded
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: owner in the NFL. Eric it was announced that the
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Children's Hospital of Pennsylvania is now opening because of the
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Lori family, the Lori Autism Institute, because of a fifty
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: million dollar gift from Jeffrey Lourie and his family. It's
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the first of its kind, which aims to be a
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: global hub for autism research and care. It's the single
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: largest donation to a US academic medical center focused on
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: autism research and care. When I read this, dude, like,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: I was like, so taken aback, And I think I
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: was taken aback by it because I think this is
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: the first time and I'm not meaning to be political
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: with folks or anything, but it's the first time that
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: we are seeing since the major, major, major cuts from
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: the National Instatude of Health, that we are seeing such
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: a large donation to scientific research in the medical community,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: not just with regard to autism, but just in general.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: It's like one of the largest donations that has been
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: made here in the United States for medical research, medical care,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: and it's something I think that's going to be needed
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: more in the future because of some of the cuts
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: that have come from the federal government. Unfortunately, one of
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: our guests here, I'm not going to say who it is,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: one of our guests that have been on the show before.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: She was a scientist at the NIH lost her job.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: She was there for ten years. She was a scientist
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: working on working on a lot of good stuff. I'll
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: say that. So that being said, like Jeffrey Lurie doing
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: something like this, you didn't have to do it. You know,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: we are living in a world where we're following what
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: billionaires are doing all the time. Eric, We're following what
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: millionaires do with their money, their power, their influence, and
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Lurie decides to do something like this. Yeah, the
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: guy's rich, has a ton of money, he's a billionaire himself.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: But the fact that he was able to do this
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: and leave his mark and will be leaving his mark
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: in this way, I think it's absolutely phenomenal. I think
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: it's fantastic. And I'm hoping other rich folks out there,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: other billionaires, are going to do the same thing. I
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: don't know, what did you think when you first saw
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: this come over your feed?
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: Don't hold your breath through other billionaires to do this.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, I could go off in an acid tongue
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: vitriolic rant right now about everything you just talked about,
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: but I'm going to focus on the good aspect of
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: this story. But you're right. I mean, I'm just gonna
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: say not to get too political. I'll be political, like
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: you know, in light of the current administration, like this is.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: I think this is the future of clinical research until
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: something gets something changes. I don't know what that change
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: would be, but there's there's This is just a great story.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: It's super local to the city because it's you know,
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: part of chop And and it really is like a
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: great cause, you know, one of the like autism, like
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: you know, when we were younger, it existed, but you
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: know the kids that had it when you were in school,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: like that kid's just weird, Like like we didn't know
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: what that We didn't know what it was, you know
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: what I mean. And even in the nineties, two thousands,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: it was still kind of like like I think by
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: the twenty tens, it was more Okay, yes we have
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: the stickers, we have the marches, that kind of stuff,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: you know, to make money for research, but like it
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: not only is great for for chop, for the city
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: and for autism, but like also just kind of shining
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: a light on what is still it's it's becoming more
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: and more abundant, that's for sure, you know, as people
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: start to understand the spectrum and everything. But as far
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: as Jeffrey Lori goes, he's probably one of the most
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: generous owners in Philly sports history. I think Ed Snyder
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: also was in that same category. He was he was
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: really really playing in his ground and he was from Philly,
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: went to Gerard College, like he you know, he was
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: born and raised there, and you know he really planted
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: his flag in Philly and did a lot of good
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: for the city. Can I just say I was trying
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: to think of other owners that were the opposite of that.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: And the first two names that came to Norman Brayman,
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: the old Beagles owner who lived in France basically didn't
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: even come to Philadelphia. And then Harold Harold Katz was
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: the SITU owner in the eighties early nineties, and he
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: was just kind of a shitty person he saw too. Yes, yeah,
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: but those were two names I thought of him, like, yeah,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: I don't think they care about the city at all.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but yeah, but LI think.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Learning Sinner are the two best. And like again, there's
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: it's a great story. And in light of like people
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: losing their jobs and research funding being pulled, it's like,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: thank god, somebody's stepping up because I don't know who
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: else is going to do it.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Because how many years at this point have has cancer
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: research been going on? Right, decades decades decades and decades
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: that cancer research has been going on. I have a
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: feeling we're going to see the same thing when it
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: comes to autism research as well. I feel like we've
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: just been learning about it, like you said, you know,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: ten years ago, just started getting more of a feel
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: for it in a way of what it is, how
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: prevalent it is. I have a wife who's an elementary
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: school counselor, and she works with autistic children all the time,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: and she's still continuing to learn various aspects of what
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: autism is and how to how kids and families live
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: with it in a way. And it's something I think
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: that's going to be in terms of the research, in
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: terms of the care, what we've done with cancer research,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: It's going to take time to understand it more, you know, anyway,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: don't mean the pontificate.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Well too quick afterthoughts. I just had one just in
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: I've been coaching youth sports for like eleven years now,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: and no one ever, you spend a lot of time
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: with these kids, and no parent ever comes to you
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: and says, my child might be on the spectrum or
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: is on the spectrum, or gives you any background. You
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: kind of have to learn on your own. And I
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: don't know any Like I know enough to be able
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: to kind of recognize it a little bit and kind
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: of help that kid along as best I can be
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: a little more patient and like get them to talk
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: a little more if they want to. And like, it's
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: still a mystery to that point where like and to
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: the point where like parents aren't going to just bring
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: it up unless unless there's like a potential issue or something.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: So I'm out there flying blind coaching youth kids, like
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: just do it, Like do I talk to this kid?
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: More?
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Like like even I don't know, I do my best,
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: but like and then we're you talked about cancer. It
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: was a good point in just being like we're still
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: like in the infancy of understanding what it even is.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: I think cancer research was probably about this the same
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: thing years and years ago, where like people are like,
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: I think bacon gives you cancer, like nobody knew at
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: a certain point in history, and I think we're still
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: at the conspiracy theory level, and not to get I
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: don't want to get political again, but like people are like, well,
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: the vaccines cause it, right?
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Do they do we know that?
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Like does does something else cause it? Smoking? With smoking
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: when you're pregnant? Does that cause Like I don't, I
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: don't know. I don't think anybody fucking knows, right, And
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: it's like the dumbing down I'm gonna stop soon, but
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: the dumbing down of society in this country and just
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: throwing crazy conspiracy theories or wacky thoughts and stuff, being
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: like I don't understand it, so I'm just gonna get
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: how about we pay the fucking money to understand it
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: and research it so we can maybe something down the
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: road instead of Yeah, so ah science, all right, we
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: gotta stop.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go off for yeah, we will stop, all right.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: I took the banner off. Okay, I took the banner off.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: We will stop right now at this point here, let's
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: move on hot dogs cause cancer.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Well they probably do actually thinking about it.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, that I'm dying next week.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: Eric, sit down, you have glizzy cancer.
• 34:42

  Speaker 2: don't have.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if we're gonna have faith or not.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: In the Philadelphia seventy six draft. How do you like
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: that segue? What do you think? How do you like them? Apples?
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: How about it?
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: Oh damn?
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: Maybe Jesus shit. Where do we go from here? Seventy
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: six ers talk, yes, discussion about this upcoming NBA draft,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: and I mean there are some guys heading up the board,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: other guys who are falling. Ace Bailey at this point
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: again as we're recording this on June eleventh, apparently he
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: is just falling down the boards. VJ. Edgecombe going up
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: the board here at this point, and also Trey Johnson
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: as well. Eric, you are the basketball guy here on
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: this podcast. We had a great show. If you want
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: to go back, whether you're watching on YouTube or go
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: back into the podcast feed. On our table talk interview
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: show this week, Harrison Grimm from Libertyballers dot Com came on,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: we got into some of these prospects and what this
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Sixers offseason has been looking like and with the future
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: may hold for this team. But man, this number three
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: pick is gonna be really interesting. At this point, my
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: gut is telling my gut is telling me Daryl Moury
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: and company in this front office are gonna stay. You
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: may think differently, They're gonna stay and it and VJ.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: Edgecomb is probably going to be the pick. That's That's
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: what I'm thinking here at this point. You know what,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: You're not bringing Tyrese Maxi in for the meeting, if
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: it's if, if it's just like a whatever type of meeting,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: like I feel like when they eventually meet with Ace Bailey,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: because they still, as of us recording this, have not
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: set up that meeting. Reporters haven't been told if and
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: when it's gonna be set up. But they Edgecomb is
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: somebody that they particular I think they're gonna want on
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: this team. So is he the guy? Is he gonna
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: be the pick for the Sixers? I'm thinking it's a
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: really good pot disability here. What are your thoughts? What
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: are you thinking here? You're the basketball guy.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: I'll preface with I'm going to go off of what
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: I think the Sixers front office is thinking. And well,
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: there's there's two sides to it, right, Okay, two things
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: are possibly thinking One our timeline is based on Joel
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Embiid and Paul George, and that's that's the timeline we
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: need to be thinking about in the off season, in
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: particularly this third the third pick of the draft. Right,
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: so if if that's their thinking, that that that's the
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: pathway they want to go, they have a two year window,
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: so we need to either use this third pick for
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: someone that's ready to go. Now that excludes as Bailey
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: altogether in my opinion. Yep, he's I don't like anything
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: I've heard about this kid coming out and nothing about
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: like behavior. It's he was listed to six', ten he's
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: measured out of six 's. Eight not special at. All
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: shooting in particularly is not not not. Incredible his defense
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: was not great in. College not to say that it
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: won't come down the, Road but LIKE i, said if,
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: that if they're if in their mind the path the,
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: road the roadmap for them is like two three or.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Window because your stars stars ye are are you know
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: a little? Older that that tells you that kid's out,
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: right so that kind of leaves you With so if
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: they do keep the third, PICK i think they go
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: with like A Trey johnson Or, EDGECOMBE i think for,
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: sure because those are guys that can come in right
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: away score buckets for you and kind of like you
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: can kind of plug Edge comb in next To maxie
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: because he can play, defense or he can go in
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: For maxie and and and be kind of the perimeter
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: shot or you, know playmaker or or candle the. Ball
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: Have jereed mccainn out there for shooting And Trey johnson
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: come in and just. SCORE i Like Trey johnson a.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: Lot if they keep the third, Pick i'm I'm I'M
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: i like. Him if they take, Him i'm. Okay if
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: they take Edge, Comb i'm okay to Edge. Combe kind
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: of he's kind of what THE nba is, now you,
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: know big solid athletic guards that can score like that's you,
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: Know johnson's a good shooting. Guard. Too but besides, that
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: if but one of my fears is though if if
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: they're along the same line of, thinking if they decide
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: that the window is at two to three years and
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: we're we're going to draft or make moves that that
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: kind of go along with our superstars only having like
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: two to three year. Window i'm afraid they're going to
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: trade the pick along with a bad contract for a
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: more veteran, player say LIKE lori market and for The.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Jazz right.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: The jazz missed out On Cooper. FLAG i think they
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: thought they were going to get him at the top.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: Pick they landed number, five which sucks ass for. Them
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: that team's going. NOWHERE lorii marketing doesn't help. Them why
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: wouldn't they offload him third pickt and for the third
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: pick and one of our bad. Contracts if that Contracts Paul,
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: george it's. Interesting but then the weird the fit between
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: market and beads. Weird but LIKE i just, Think i'm
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Just i'm fearful that Maybe morey thinks he has a
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: small window of opportunity as well as THE gm and
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: is going to use that third picks as a as
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: a vetting chip to get to get something else that
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: he wants to fit the timeline of a more veteran.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: TEAM i hope they just sit there and Take johnson Or.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: VEGECOMBE i want no part of. Its bailey don't like
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: anything about That, okay but this this, TEAM i have
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: no idea if this team is going to do, it
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: BUT i think if they keep the, pick it's gonna
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: be one of those.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: Two let's go back to the draft lottery for just
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: a second before we wrap up this segment. Here let's
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: go back to the draft. Lottery and it was The
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: it was the body language Of Darryl morey when they
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: got the number three overall, pick when that landed to
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: them and he took his head and put it down
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: on the. Table do you remember, that, like oh my,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: god this actually happened for, Us like that body language.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: There it's not gonna tell, us of, course who the
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: pick is going to, be but it leads me to
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: believe that, young a young talent Like edgecombe or if
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: it or if it happens to Be Tray johnson as,
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: well that that is what was. Wanted that that opportunity
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: of having somebody, young somebody that could potentially be part
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: of the future after the window of opportunity as, well
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: is something that they would. Want that body language From Darryl,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: MOREY i, thought spoke volumes in terms of like what
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: they would want to do with the, pick in terms
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: of like staying. PUT i just don't think they're going
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: to trade it based on that body. Language may sound,
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: hokey BUT i just think based on that body language
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: from the draft, lottery they're gonna stay right at. Three
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: but do you think maybe that it was such a
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: long shit season and they had the tank almost like
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: two thirds of, It, yeah that it was a feeling
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: of relief in the moment because it was number three
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: and not they didn't lose the pick like that that
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: was the worst case, scenario, right.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Yep so they got three and it was just like a,
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: oh thank. God, Yeah but maybe an hour later was he, like,
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: god damn when you get the top? Pick BECAUSE i
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: THINK i think get the top, pick that's an easy.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: Decision you Take Cooper Flag. YEP i think even number
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: two is an easy. Decision where you take the Sorry
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: i'm drawing a Plank parker, Kid, yeah, yeah where you
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: Take Dylan. HARPER i think three down is more like.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: Man and now he has time to think about, it
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: and it's, like IF i can use the third pick
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: to get rid of this Disastrous Paul george, CONTRACT i
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: think he might come back and actually be good this.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: Year it's totally. Possible it's on the. Table, yeah he
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: had one down. Year MAYBE i don't, know but like
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: if his thinking is that was a, MISTAKE i have
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: a chance here because of the third, pick to offload
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: that piece of shit contract to bring in a kid
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: like Market i'm just saying marketing because he's like the
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: Perfect he's like twenty, seven he scores. Points he has
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: a big, contract because you're gonna have to trade for
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: two big, contracts, Right, yeah was that his trade? Chip
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: whereas if he got the number six, PICK i don't
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: think maybe The jazz want to make a move at that,
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: point but because maybe they're desperate, now maybe because even
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: The hornets might be desperate at, four like teams that
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: thought they're gonna be in the top, three maybe even The. Wizards,
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: right maybe that third pick to him was get out
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: of jail free card in terms of, like, OH i
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: can just pick a good player, here OR i can
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: use it to get off of The george contract and
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: maybe expand my window a little bit with, embiid WITH
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: maxi with a player that committed and play right. AWAY
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: i don't. Know i'm not sure what they're gonna, do
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: BUT i think if they do keep, It Edgecomben johnson
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: the only two options at this. Point, YEAH i think so.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: TOO i think so.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: Too it's gonna be players that can play right. Now,
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: yeah score absolutely.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: And they both. Can Both Ken edgecomb And johnson can
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: absolutely do that for. Sure all, right, Buddy i'm gonna
• 46:13

  Speaker 1: too much negativity surrounding his short. Tenure, So, Charlie i'm
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: wondering to get this conversation started. Here what do you
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: think has been the most consequential decision That Danny briere
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: has made thus far during his tenure AS gm of
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: This flyers franchise that has really helped propel The flyers
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: perhaps to another, level or that may propel them to another.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: Level what are your thoughts?
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: Here, well it's an interesting question because there is one
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: answer that is the clear cut, answer but it's tough
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: to say that that should be the answer to that
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: question because it just it was less a decision For
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: brier and more decision for the. Organization like the answer
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: to this question is the drafting Of Mavee mishkov in
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty, three right at number, Seven like that is
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: the most. Consequential that is the one that has the
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: potential to give The flyers the star, level true top
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: of the lineup guy that they need to have any
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: chance of this rebuild. Working and The flyers took the,
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: plunge made the, pick got him to come over. Here
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: everything so far is Going we're going to play on that.
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: Front so.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: Consequential that is the most consequential because if you don't Have,
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: nichekoff nobody is excited about this team to the way
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: that they clearly are because The flyers have Mave mischoff
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: and it gives the team and more, importantly the fans
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: a guy they can dream, on as you, know being
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: not saying as, good but like you, know the The
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: nathan McKinnon of The, flyers and they go to keep
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: A kucher off of The, flyers you, know the guy
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: who is the, star the guy who you can put
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: up against any other star player in the league and be, like,
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: yeah our guy's real. Good he's on that, level, Right
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: so that's the most. Consequential but that was less a
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: decision and more a you better do it right as
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: long as you have approval from your, owner as long
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: as you have approval From, comcast which clearly he. Got
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: but that's more of a no brainer than A, wow
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: what a great move By danny if you're talking about
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: consequential moves that were not, like, hey this great player
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: fell into your, lap and now you just have to
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: convince the rest of the organization that we should take
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: the plunge on this risk because it's a worthwhile. RISK
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: i think the most consequential trade in terms of or
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: consequential move it is a trade that he's made as
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: general manager is The Ivan provoff trade because if.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: You look at what that.
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: Produced, so number, one you get a first round pick
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: back for. Him, okay so you get you get the
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: twenty second overall pick in twenty twenty three that turns
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: Into Oliver. Bonk he's still. Coming they like him a.
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: Lot you also Get Sean walker in the. Deal Sean
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: walker you turn into another first round Pickp so now
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: you've got two first round, picks rivn pro Rof Hellgate
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: grands has played in THE. Nhl, okay he might make
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: the team out of camp next. YEAR i don't think
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: he's gonna be an impact, guy but he could be
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: a QUALITY nhl right shot defenseman with size you can
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: skate a, bit maybe be a decent enough third pair of.
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: Defenseman now you've got three potential. Assets you've got another
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: second round pick coming in this draft From columbus that
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: you got in that deal as. Well so you're talking
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: about a trade that in, theory could bring you, back you,
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: know somewhere between two and four players that helped you
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: spark the. Rebuild, yes you, know depending on How bonk
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: plays plays. Out its depending upon how the you, know
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: how the pick goes that they got in The Sean walker,
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: deal how that plays out this. Year and then they
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: have the two the two seconds they, have they have
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: the one that they got or, no not the two,
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: seconds but they have the one they got in, clumps
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: and then they got Hell Ga. Gronz that's four possible
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: assets that could be quality assets for this rebuilt and
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: that all came in one. Trade so if we're talking
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: about like tray that was difficult to pull, off or
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: move that was difficult to pull, off that was most.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: Consequential it's the Prover off.
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: Deal if you're talking about just most consequential, period it's
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: taking me.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Trump it really is amazing how we haven't necessarily seen
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: as much negativity With Danny Bree Aaron company as we
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: did With Chuck. Fletcher AND i guess that's maybe not
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: saying a lot in terms of what The Chuck fletcher regime,
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: Was BUT i think a lot of us are VERY
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: i hesitate to use word, happy BUT i think maybe
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: pleased as to where things are right now and what
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: things could be with this team and this franchise moving.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: Forward but as we're talking, about you, know we're talking
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: about these consequential decisions By Danny Brier, charlie who he
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: takes at number six overall in the UPCOMING Nhl, draft
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: or however he decides to move around in the first,
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: draft is going to be consequential to the future of
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: This flyers. Team last week we were talking with our
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: Friend Matteline campbell about. This we've Had Kelly hinkel on
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: your friend as, well to talk about just the consequential
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: aspect of what this draft is right, here you, know
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: you guys and ladies over AT. Phl Why i've been
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: talking about all the various directions that the front office
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: may go with this. Draft what is the most logical
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: direction they could go in in terms of the long
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: term here from what you have assessed so, Far charlie and.
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: Why, WELL i, mean if we're talking about logical, DIRECTION
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: i don't necessarily even want to point it specific players
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: because we're all gonna have our guy who right want
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: The flyers to. Take and also a lot of the
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: decision is going to be made for The flyers given
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: the way the draft shapes up at the top of the,
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: draft where you have you, Know Matthew, Schaffer Michael mesa
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: probably gone one, two and then you have a group
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: before you Have Anton, Frondell caleb Dan, Oyer James hagen's a.
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: Portomartone you have a group of four that is generally
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: accepted to be the next. Group The flyers pick at.
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: Six so in, theory it would just be, well they
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: would just take whoever's. Left it's not like they can
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: choose between that. Group to, me if we're talking about
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: you know, what what's the most logical. Direction there was
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: logical direction for The flyers with the six pick is
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: to take the swing on, skill, right is don't be
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: sucked in, to you, know taking a guy who you
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: know isn't going to be as good as some of
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: the you, know or maybe like doesn't have the ceiling
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: as some of the other guys who are. Available but,
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: man you, know we just want that physicality or we
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: need that. Size we need to fill a perceive gap
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: in our talent.
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: Book we need a.
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: Center, like, yes they do absolutely need a. Center and
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: that's something That flyers fans And i'll probably talk about
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: this a little. Bit some mean they should be hoping
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: for The flyers to in a best case scenario Address
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: but If Porter martone is the guy there at six
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: and he has the highest upside of anybody, AVAILABLE i
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: don't think The flyers are in position where they can,
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: say now we're gonna go with the center. Instead because
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: The flyers right now have one guy In Matve mishkov
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: who is a true top of the lineup. Superstar still
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: Young Travis knnecti is there, too but he's in the
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: back half of his. Twenties you're hoping he aged as,
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: well but you don't know for, sure this may be
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: the last time The flyers picked this, high BECAUSE i
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: do think this Summer briere is going to try to
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: make some, moves not try to push this team into
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: the playoff picture, necessarily but he's gonna try to make them.
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: BETTER i think he's going to try to address, goaltending
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: AND i Think Rick tockett coming After John. TURTURELL i
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: think The flyers will be better next. Year so this
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: is very well can be the last time The flyers
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: picked this. High this means this is the last time
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: maybe that they have the opportunity to get a guy
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: who can, be you, know The superman To Mishkov's, batman
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: or The, batman The Mishkoff, superman like another guy you
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: know that The Nicholas baxtrom to His. Ovechkin you're, right
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: and you can't get sucked into like oh, man you,
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: know really want this guy who's probably a second liner
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: because he just has so many qualities we, like, like
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: you gotta go for the skill because they they're not in,
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: position they don't have enough high end talent to justify
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: going for the lower upside. Guy you gotta take the
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: big swing still and that's the Approach i'd like THE
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: i Like beer to take BECAUSE i think that they're
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: not in. Position they're not in position to go.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: With a luxury.
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: Pick they have to go with the guy who is
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: most likely to be a true top of the line,
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: up point per game or better type of guy who
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: can change your.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: Franchise it can't be like a Jet lichenko type of,
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: pick you know WHAT i. Mean it can't be like,
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: that AND i THINK i think we all know that as. Fans, again,

  Speaker 2: Appreciated.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: Absolutely all, Right, well let's actually get into some of
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: these prospects here that we're gonna be looking at in
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: this upcoming. Draft, charlie who might they take there at
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: six If Danny breer and company decides to stay. There
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: thoughts On James, HAGGINS i, mean he's being talked about
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: as one of the best centers possibly in this. Draft
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on him and if you would
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: be a if you would be that complimentary piece that
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: we are really looking for on this team in the.
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: FUTURE i really Like James. HIGGINS i actually. SO i
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: have him ranked third on my draft. Board, okay he
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: didn't have as good of a draft season as you
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: were hoping, for because he had an amazing draft minus
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: one year with the THE us national team development, program
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: then killed it at the under Eighteen worlds last. Summer
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: so like Last April, may, SO i guess late, spring
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: but it was the. Offseason, FUNCTIONALLY i think everyone was
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: expecting his first year in college he was going to
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: light it up the Way Macklin celebriny, did and instead
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: he was merely a point per game guy as a
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: seventeen eighteen year, old purely as a freshman in. College
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: it disappointed a lot of. People they were expecting him
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: to blow the doors off and staid he was just very,
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: good yes for his age in. COLLEGE i love the skill.
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: SET i think he has the upside to be as
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: good as anyone in this. DRAFT i love the, playmaking
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: the potential of putting a guy who sees the ice
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: the way he. Does with a guy Like nishkoff who
• 58:44
  Speaker 3: thinks the game as well as he, does that's very
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: exciting to. Me the one thing THAT i wonder if
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: it'll give The flyers, pause is That hagen's is not
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: that bit AND i DO i don't know if this
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: is going to be enough to stop The flyers from
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: Taking hagen if he's, there BUT i do wonder if
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: they're gonna worry a little bit of, well if our
• 59:04
  Speaker 3: top two players Are James, hagens who is you, know
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: five foot ten and a, half and Then Mafey mishkov's
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: probably something like five foot ten and a half as.
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: Well if they are your two best, players can you
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: succeed in the? Playoffs if those are your two best,
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: players and they then can become the focal point of
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: all the teams that have a defense full of six
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: foot four or six foot, five six foot six. Behemoths
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: in my, MIND i take him BECAUSE i think that
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: at this point you can't be. Choosy you need, talent
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: and then you can If hagens is as good AS
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: i hope he can, be and mishkoffn teinues to, develop
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: then you've got two, studs and then you just go
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: real hard on trying to find the, big, physical talented
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: winger in trades and free agency whatever to compliment those,
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: guys and then.
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: Boom you're.
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: GOOD i would go With, hagens BUT i do wonder
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: if he's there at. Six do The flyers And Danny
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: brier get scared away a little bit by the fact, that,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: then in, theory your two premier offensive players are smallish for?
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: Right what about? THOUGH i, Mean Brady martin is also
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: potentially being mocked to The flyers and various mock drafts as.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: Well we've read how many of them at this? Point
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: what are your thoughts On Brady. MARTIN i think he's
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: only six foot himself If i'm not. Mistaken, yeah he's
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: not the, biggest but he plays. Big, yeah Like hagen's
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: it plays a skill.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: Game he plays a finesse. Game he's not that. Physical
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: Brady martin is maybe the most physical player physical, forward
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: at least in the. Draft he loves throwing the. Body
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: he justifiably gets Some sam benneck, comparisons and obviously everybody
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: is loving What Sam bennett is doing in this. Postseason
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: he's been amazing For. Florida the one Thing i'll push
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: back on a little bit With Brady martin is And
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: i'm not the only one who believes, is But i'm
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: certainly not part of a consensus. VIEW i don't see
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 3: a center In Brady. MARTIN i see a guy WHO
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 3: i think his skill set and his HOCKEY, iq WHICH
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: i don't rate as highly as some others, DO i
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: think he is destined to be kicked out to, wing
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: AND i think he's gonna be a darn good. WING
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: i Like Brady martin's game at wing at, CENTER i
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: don't know IF i see a guy who's going to
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: be better than a good THREE c at. WING i
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: could see a top six wing who brings a really unique,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: element BUT i don't know if he thinks the game
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: at a high enough level at least for my, taste
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: to be AN nhl center in the top, six and
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: if you're drafting at sixth, OVERALL i would rather have
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: a guy who plays the middle who can have a
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: serious offensive. Impact to, me if he's gonna have a
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: chance of having the kind of offensive impact that justifies
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 3: a pick in the top, six it's going to have
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: to be on the wing and at that, point it's, like,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: well if he's there And Porter marton's, There i'm Taking
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: porter martone BECAUSE i think his offensive upside on the
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 3: wing is higher Than martin's on the wing. Anyway SO
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: i don't Hate Brady, martin BUT i Have Brady martin
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: ranked in the teams on my draft, board and a
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: lot of that is because WHEN i watch, HIM i
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 3: don't see a. Center he didn't play center at The under.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: Eighteens he played, wing which was the tournament where the
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: hype train really got, started AND i don't think that
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 3: was a. Coincidence in my, mind he was playing the
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: position that he's best suited, for so of course he
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: played real, well right.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: RIGHT i know that you guys, today as we're recording
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: this here On, Wednesday june, eleventh you're talking About jack
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: Nesmitt on ON PHL. Y what are your thoughts in
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: terms of him and what he could potentially? Bring, yeah, well.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: He's a, center and Unlike Brady, Martin i'm very confident
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: that That nesbit is going to stick down the. Middle he's,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: bigger he's six, before he's still growing into his, body
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: so there's a lot more physical development than can come
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: over the next few. YEARS i Like, NESBIT i said
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: on the, show, THOUGH i have him more as an
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: early second round guy rather than a guy rather than
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: a guy Who i'd be excited to take a twenty.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: Two the reason Why i've mocked him in the past
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: to The flyers of twenty, two, though is because obviously
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: the position will Need flyers need a. Center, also there's
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: a size. FACTOR i do, think all things being equal
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: To flyers would like to add more size to their center,
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: pipeline really to their four pipeline over, yeah but definitely
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: to their center pipeline Jelly jenko's five to, eleven you.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: KNOW i just think they ideally would like. That and
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: also the thing with, nesmind and this is WHY i
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 3: like the fit potentially with The flyers in terms of
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: them liking, him he in my, mind has the skills
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: to be a middle six. CENTER i think he has
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: the hockey. INTELLIGENCE i think he has the COMPETE i
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: think he has the puck handling. ABILITY i like his.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 3: Skills he's not a good, skater and that's what pushes,
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: me pushes him down my. Board The, flyers, however, historically
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: have not been scared away by that as.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: Much that's.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: TRUE i present you One Tyson, forrester, who like the
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: consensus view of him in his draft, was, yeah if
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: he could, skate he'd be a top, fifteen top ten.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: Pick but he, couldn't, right and they picked him and
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: they improved his skating to the point where at least
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: it's not, awful and now he's a darn good. PLAYER
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: i could see them having the same idea With, nesbit thinking,
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: well if we improve a skating to the point where
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: it's not, trash then maybe he's a middle six. Center
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: they tend to like to take swings on being able
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: to improve a guy skating with you, know more physical,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: development with some more, techniques some better. Technique and that's
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: kind of WHY i look At nesbit And i'm, like all,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: right so it was one big week point of something
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: The flyers tend.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: To not be scared.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: Of maybe he could be a, fit all.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: Right, VERGO i got a little bit ahead of myself
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: there talking About nesbit, too because as we, know as
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: we're talking, About flyers also have the number twenty two
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: and number thirty two picks in the first. Round just
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: talking About Jack, nesbit but what might The flyers do
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: with their other, uh their other picks, Here, like what
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: could they do is their specific, Talent, charlie some players
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: here that you think could be valuable to the team
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: down the. Road, again just talked About nesbit anybody else
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: in terms of who you have in the cue that
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: you're going to be looking.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: At, oh, yeah there's a lot of. Guys. Yeah the
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 3: thing with this draft IS i would say that the
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 3: WAY i have it ranked on my board, is you,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: know you get past the guys WHO i would consider
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: it to be like blue chip, potential like guys WHO
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: i look at it and you, know like when you
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: do a top FIFTY nhl, prospects like they're gonna be
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: on it. REGARDLESS i think that tier ends around, nine,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: okay and then from like around ten to, twenty you've
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: got the next, tier which are all GUYS i, like
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: and all guys who if they if one of those
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: guys slips at twenty, two run up to the board
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: and take them all real good. Players this is actually
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 3: WHERE i Have Bree. MARTIN i like guys like you,
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: Know carter Behar, Cole Reshnie Braydon. Coots Colin potter is
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: a guy who could be a fit further down the
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: draft because, WELL i have him in that. Tier you,
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: know he's, small so he might slip. Yep but to,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: me the next tier ends around twenty and then you
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: just have a big old. Tier LIKE i have guys
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: WHO i obviously like more than, others but twenty through,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: fifty it really is just a grab. Bag it's just
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: whoever the scouts like the. Most so it's hard to be, like,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: well the flyers should take this. GUY i have my
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: GUYS i, like, yeah LIKE i have. GUYS i Mentioned Colin.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 3: Potter he's, smallish but he's one of the, fastest if
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: not the, fastest guy in the. DRAFT i really like his.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: Upside Alexander zarovski is A, russian A russian winger who's
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 3: intriguing to. Me Ryker lee's intriguing to, Me Shane Van
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: sadi's intriguing to. Me these are all. FORWARDS i Like Sasha,
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: bumidian a bigger defenseman who plays For Boston university right.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: Now so there are GUYS i Like Blake Fiddler Cameron.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: Reid these are both defensemen as. Well fiddler is, Bigger
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: read is a little bit more, skilled more on The
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 3: Cam york. Type but there's a lot of GUYS i
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 3: Like it's just that every team is going to have
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: guys they like in this range because there's not, viewed
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 3: at least from a scouting, standpoint viewed as a big
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: gap between twenty and. Fifty it's just going to be, like,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: hey some guys have this guy ranked twenty, seconds some
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: teams have this guy ranked fifty. Second, Right there's gonna
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: be a lot of differences in terms of how they're.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: Viewed.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: Now what it would be awesome for me is to
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: see The flyers take a guy WHO i have ranked
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: in that like ten to twenty, range to nab him
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: at twenty, two and then at thirty two take one
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: of the GUYS i also really, like but in that
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: next year Down.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: Well, charlie BEFORE i let you, go, BUDDY i have
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: been asking this of our guests that have been coming
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: on as we're talking about This flyer's, draft AND i
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: want to get your take on it again BEFORE i
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: let you. Go. Here when This flyer's twenty twenty five
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: draft is all said and, done we're reflecting on these
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: draft picks in the days and the weeks. After what
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: should us fans here be hoping that the theme of
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: this draft would have been for this. Franchise what do
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: you think the theme should be and what we hope
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: it will be in the days and weeks.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: After, yeah that's a that's a cool question Because i'm
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: gonna tell you what fans should be hoping. For But
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 3: i'm also going to tell you that there could there
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: are worlds WHERE i ENVISION i could envision myself being
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: okay that the theme of the draft wasn't this because to,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: me the if the draft goes in a dream scenario
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: for The, flyers the takeaway should be you no longer
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: have to worry about the center position long. Term that
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 3: would be the dream Takeaways like if you come away
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 3: from this draft with you, know with a with A James,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 3: hagens you, know or even like A Kale danoa or
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 3: An Anton, frondel and then maybe with twenty, two you,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 3: know you get A Kole reshni or maybe a trade
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: up and you get A roger, McQueen and then maybe
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: you take another guy in the second round who has you,
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: know middle six to bottom six center. Upside if that
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: would be the dream you come away from this draft
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 3: and you're, Like, okay we don't have to worry about
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: the center position. Anymore we've got enough guys where, like
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 3: some of these guys are going to hit and we
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: can feel good about where we are at down the.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: Middle that, said in a world where let's, say you,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: Know frondel goes three and Then danoye goes, four and
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: Then hagen's goes, five LIKE i would, say Take Porter, marton,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: yeah and that would obviously not solve the center, problem,
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 3: Right but like that WOULD i think be the right
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 3: pick BECAUSE i think he the best player. Available so
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 3: some of this is out of The flyers. Control some
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: of this just comes down, to you, know will where
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: will the chips, Fall who's gonna get, Taken where will
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 3: The flyers get lucky with who's, available and will they
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 3: be able to fill their biggest. Need BUT i think
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 3: the dream scenario for this draft is you come away
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: as A flyers fan feeling, like, yeah no longer have
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: to worry about. Center we got, one maybe even two
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 3: guys who we feel real good, about and then we
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 3: can worry about other positions moving forward because the center,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 3: position given the guys we took in this, draft given
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 3: the fact that we got Jet luchenko the last, draft
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: we no longer have to be fretting constantly about where
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: we're going to get our centers for the long.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: Term i'll tell you it's gonna be. Fantastic it's going
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: to be exciting for. Sure AND i believe that you
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: all are going to be getting together for like a, party,
• 1:09:47
