With a 9-6 win over the Chicago #cubs last night, the Philadelphia #phillies have clinched a bye to the NLDS and, at worst, the 2 seed, in the NL Postseason. Manager Rob Thomson said this is the best team he's had in Philadelphia. Do you agree? Plus, Jon's old radio buddy, Herb, joins us in studio for an #AskHerb segment!
Philly Philly with Jon Marks
Phillies clinch bye to NLDS with win, Brewers loss | Is this Rob Thomson's best team?
(upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music) - Yo, what is up everybody, good morning. Welcome to Philly. Philly with John Marks on P-H-L-Y as always brought to you by Parks Casino, Bet Parks right now in the Bet Parks app. Eagles down the two-point favorites over the Buccaneers on Sunday. Tonight, Thursday night football, Cowboys minus 5.5, we'll talk about that game and we'll get into some Eagles conversation coming up here in a little bit on a Thursday morning. Good morning to everybody that's watching live on YouTube. All our chatters on there. Good morning Roku TV, hello. And if you're watching whenever, 'cause you can do that, you can listen, listen on our podcast feed, which is put out there. Every morning, Tyler gets it out there shortly after nine o'clock. If you wanna listen to the audio version of the show or of course on YouTube, whenever you would like. What's up everybody? And I wanna thank the Phillies because if you're a listener of me or a viewer of the show, I've made it abundantly clear that the Phillies give me extreme anxiety and to be able to clinch, wrap up a first round buy and if they get the one seed, that's awesome. But the fact they don't have to play in that first round and they're gonna get the buy, even though it hasn't worked out in recent years for some of these teams, is still very important. They didn't play with their food, they're not messing around, they came out last night, they scored a lot of early runs, game was essentially over, boom, they got the win. And then as the game was ending, the Phillies, the Brewers end up losing the game. We'll play you that coming up here in a second. But the Phillies get a buy, which is, was a relief. 'Cause now I don't have to fret, I don't have to worry if they lose a game. Now I'm thinking like, oh my God, like no, now Wheeler has to, he has to go deeper into the game. Noah has to go deeper into the game. So it's nice to be able to know that the Phillies, at the very least, are not gonna have to play in that opening round and they will get started here. I think it's next Saturday and Sunday. So not this Saturday and Sunday are the games, but the NLDS starts on Saturday and Sunday, which is awesome. So looking forward to that, really an excellent, excellent win last night. And really it kind of shows you how this team is gonna win. They have office, the offense can be potent when it needs to be potent, streaky, a little bit, but guys were hitting home runs last night, starting pitching, bullpen. If you're a Phillies fan, you gotta be pretty excited and pretty happy right now. But what, how does this team stack up with the two previous teams? All right, 2022 where they're in the World Series. And by the way, not only in the World Series, I was broadcasting at Citizens Bank Park with the Phillies up two games, the one. Thinking that this team was gonna win a World Series. A side note, I had said in spring training, I had told Bryce Harper in spring training that if the Phillies won the World Series that year, I would get Bryce Harper's face tattooed on my back. Next to Nick Foles. Now, up two games, the one. And I'm getting interview requests from blogs and from industry sites saying like, Oh my God, are you really gonna do this? I was having conversations with my wife and she was saying you were not going to do this. Anyway, they lost and I didn't have to worry about it. But that was a really good team. And then last year, I would have told you that it was a really good team up until game three of the NLCS against the Diamondbacks. That bullpen was weak. I liked the lineup right up until the last couple games of the series where they went ice cold. Starting pitching was good, not great. So, Topper last night after the win, after they clinched the first round by, he was asked about this team and how it stacks up with the other teams. Here's Topper last night courtesy of NBC Sports Philadelphia. - I think it's very good. I mean, anything can happen to the playoffs, but this is a really good team. This is the best team we've had since I've been here. I think there's great balance as far as our offense is good. When we don't chase, when we get the, you know, swing it strikes and use the entire field. Our offense is really good. Our rotation obviously is good. And we've got extremely deep bullpen. So, you know, I really love this club. I really do and they're tough and resilient. They prepare and they compete every day. And I trust them. - Yeah, so the offense obviously has a ton of star power on it. And when they're producing it and they're hot, they're one of the best offenses in baseball. But I can't sit here and tell you that I look at this offense as kind of like Rob Thompson described it right there. Like, oh, well, we don't chase. And like, yeah, sometimes you don't, right? But when you hit home runs and you score the majority of your runs with home runs, what happens in October when it gets a little bit chilly out? Or maybe you're in an environment where game time, it's 50 degrees. And I used to talk about this with the Phillies teams back when they made their run with Ryan Howard and Jay Sully and Jimmy Rollins and those guys 'cause they lived and died by the long ball as well. That when you're not hitting home runs, you have to be able to produce without going long. And teams shown they could do that this year a little bit, but they're at their best when they're slugging the ball. So I like, I still have worries about going cold in the playoffs 'cause I don't know if they're gonna make adjustments. They were slow to make adjustments last year, cost them a World Series appearance. So, but besides that, the starting rotation, Zach Wheeler, Boom, Chris Sanchez, Boom, Aaron Nola, Boom, we talked to Tom McCarthy yesterday on the show. He jumped on, he said that his feel was that Topper is leaning Aaron Nola as the second starter, but he doesn't have to make up his mind just yet because you don't know who you're playing because that's gonna be decided in the opening round. So he's not gonna make a decision yet, but he believes that the lean right now is towards Aaron Nola as the number two starter, which, I mean, wouldn't be the worst thing in the world unless he got shelled at home or if Sanchez came out on the road and pitched poorly, but it is, yeah, it'll be interesting to see how they line up that rotation. And then the bullpen, this bullpen, Estebes, or excuse me, Estebes, who is now your ninth inning guy, maybe not every opportunity out there, but for the most part, it seems like that nine out of 10, nine and a half out of 10, they're gonna go with him. Is, I'm comfortable with him in the ninth inning. He's not flawless. He has, he's ran into some problems in innings. He manages to wiggle out, but you're eighth inning guys, Jeff Hoffman. I love watching him come in and pitch. He's intimidating. He's such a big dude, kirkering in the seventh inning. Alvarado kind of has a sixth inning, seventh inning, eighth inning guy, depending on where you need a high leverage power arm. And then you have Matt Shrom. And then you have other guys that we're not even mentioning that, that are, are, are still good relief pitchers. I agree with topper. This is a team that is primed and poised to make a run at the World Series. Jeff Passen was on Pat McAfee yesterday and McAfee asked him, well, who, you know, who's the best team in baseball right now? He said the Phillies. And he's been kind of been on that train the last couple of weeks or the last couple of months here where Passen looks at everything that we just talked about with the starters, with the bullpen and with the lineup and the Phillies are the, the best team, the best built team to make a run and win the World Series. Tyler Zulu joins us. Who were you on posting post game duties last night? No, I got, you know, it's funny. I got to actually sleep last night. It was wild. I got in a full night sleep. It's crazy. Look at you. No, we did not have post game last night. We will have post game on Friday, which by the way, Friday might not mean a darn thing. So we may just be talking to ourselves on Friday night, but we'll be there. But you're also, you're also like, this is when the playoff talk will start the heat up. There's going to be a lot of rotation talk right now. Are they going to carry an extra pitcher? Are they going to carry an extra bat on the postseason roster? Yeah, we talked about that a lot yesterday on the, on the, on the pod at 11. Like, you know, is it going to be, you know, do you go with a Cody Clemens and a Weston Wilson? Do you add an extra arm? And if you do, who is the extra arm? Because quite frankly, they're, they're pitching is good, but like you get to 11 and you go, okay, that's enough. You don't really have a guy. That's enough. I mean, it's not enough numerically, but it's enough for what they have. Yeah. I don't have a guy as a stretch to begin with. To go to a 13th guy, I'm not, not so sure they do. Yeah, I don't disagree. There doesn't seem to be a somebody that I would even care for them to, to have on the roster. But so, so will you be, will you be taking selfies, celebration selfies after the game on Friday night? I think I'm going to avoid that. I'm going to sit in my living room and not take the selfies. Okay. So you're not going down to watch the game to take selfies? No, you know, I'm actually going to be in my living room. So the only, the only objection to doing the show is my, my gremlin cat who is now in goblin mode. Cause she's like, you're a cat guy? So I'm not. I'm a dog guy through and through. We've had a dog for, she's nine now. My wife found a cat in a bush about four months ago. So we have a cat now. Um, yeah. So the cat is in gremlin mode because she's. So hang on, back up, back, back, back up for a second. Oh, you want to have this conversation? We can do the abbreviated version. She found a cat in a bush. Yeah. So she had the dog out one night. She was walking the dog and she calls me and goes, Hey, I need your help. And I said, what's wrong? She goes, my dog's name is Kaya. She said, Kaya chased a cat into a bush and I said, okay, what do you want me to do about it? She goes, as she's calling me, as she's walking through the front door, she's like, I need you to grab the cat. It's in my arms. Uh, what? So we've had this cat. We tried to find its owner, no owner, no chip, no chip because it was a baby, like a baby, baby when we found it. Oh, it was a little kid. Oh, it was probably four weeks old when we found her. So they probably, it probably abandoned. That's what we're worried about was that's how that happened. So we took her in and we, you know, we got her shots and whatnot. We were kind of deciding on if we're going to keep her not, you know, my wife's good. My wife fell in love with her. We gave her a name. She's ours now, but she's in, I say she's in like goblin mode because she's in that like terrorizing four, five, six month range that animals get into where they have like wrapped her teeth and run around like crazy. So that's where we're at. That's the biggest issue I faced with post game shows is that she's going to like, you know, jump on my laptop while I'm doing the show. It's going to claw. Yeah. Exactly. Well, you say you should have the accurate description is you found a kitten in a bush in a bush. Correct. Cause the kitten will turn into a cat. And that's when you won't want it anymore. When they're kittens, they're cute. I agree. It would have been hard for me not to take a four week. I would have done the same thing. She's very loving. I will tell you that when she's not in crazy mode, she's very loving. But the point being is no, I will not be at the, at the ballpark taken selfie. All right. All right. Well, there you go. Tyler's coming up with an update. He'll give us everything from last night. Herb from North East Silly scheduled to join us here in studio around eight 30. There was a, I guess a big accident on 95 heard her texting me like an hour and 15 minutes ago saying he's all 95 and it's a parking lot. So Herb has gotten off the exit. He's trying to weave through. So we're hoping he's able to make it here to jump on an eight 30. Everybody needs a little herb for everybody out there. 95 was a disaster this morning at six 30. So I can't imagine now what it's like was an act. He said there was an accident or something. I don't know. He made a, may have put on KYW to get the traffic on the twos. So yeah. So we hope Herb drops by, we'll play ask Herb. I'll try to describe, I'll try, I'll try to intro him to the people that maybe don't know who Herb is. If you're not a WIP listener to my show or a sports radio listener, you may not be familiar with Herb. It's hard to describe unless he was here, other than can you, can you pop up a picture right now? Last Friday, he was in Brazil or two Fridays ago, he was in Brazil and he starts sending me these text messages while I'm on the air. And when I get off the air and I'm like, what, what, what is he sending me? And they're pictures. Herb was saying, so the first picture is that like, why is he sending me that? And he sent me other pictures too. So he's trying to show me his bathing suit. He apparently bought this designer bathing suit that he was very proud of, which I don't like he talking on the radio about the bathing suit. That wasn't a conversation. I'm like, yeah, Herb, whatever. I don't care. So then he sends me this picture and this is where I start to wonder what's going on with her. Is he shooting his shot? What's up with her? What's he doing? And there's another one that we won't, we won't put up there, but there's Herb shirtless. Why Tyler? Why would, why would he send me a shirtless picture? And he has the, he has the, the star of David around his neck and he also has what looks like a vial. And if you Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie at one point, when they were married, they had vials around their neck with each other's blood. In the vial? Yeah, that's weird. So I think Herb may have my blood in his vial around his neck based on him sending me a shirtless picture. Here we are. Happy Thursday. So Herb may or may not have a shirt on. He'll join us coming up here on a little bit. Oh, no, it's a requirement. He's got a shirt on to be on the show. Agreed. That's, that's the one stipulation we, we, we did put in. And Alexa, poor Alexa, who is sitting in on the show today. She's going to pick the bad show to, she's probably going to have to go down and grab Herb and bring him up in the elevator. So we will require a shirt on her because we will not do that too. To Alexa. All right. Tyler, a lot happened last night. Let's get to the headlines here this morning. Yeah, sure did. And of course our headlines are brought to you by our friends over at glat hair restoration because bald is now optional. And if you want to improve how you look and how you feel about yourself, glat hair has the right treatment for you so you can regain your confidence. And by visiting glat hair mctr.com or call 610-980-4000 to get started today. And sorry about that. Trying to do about a million things and get, get Herb out of the shot and get me back into it. But let's start with the fills last night. As you mentioned, the Phillies do win. They win this game. Nine six, kind of a weird game, John, a lot of back and forth didn't have much of a vibe to it. It just felt like a game that was being played and the Phillies jump out to an early three nothing lead. And I'll be honest with you, I forgot it was an early start last night. It was like six 20. I turned the TV on. And I'm like, let me catch the end of post game on NBC Sports Philly and then we'll get to the game in 640. And I look up at it's three nothing. Yeah. What just happened? So the Phillies jump out to a three nothing lead. And after that, it felt like two teams that were just playing a game to play a game. There wasn't a whole lot of urgency to it, which was unfortunate because the Phillies, as we made mentioned, we're still chasing a buy, you know, the magic number was two, but the Phillies do win this one. Christopher Sanchez was okay, took a lot of deep counts, a lot of three, two counts. I think he had six, three, two counts in this one, ran his pitch count up. He was okay. Yeah. Ends up giving up a couple of earned runs. One was unearned on the 17th error by Trey Turner, Bryson Stade had an error, which was uncharacteristic of him, but they win this game. So that's the step number one is the Phillies win nine six, the magic number to clinch the buy is now one. And as this is going on, as post game is happening and TMac and John Crocker are talking to Brandon Marsh, they get the sense that the Brewers are about to lose as well. So on the air on NBC Sports Philadelphia and the Phillies broadcast, they're talking to Brandon Marsh and they're basically talking through the final out of the Pirates Brewers game and the game's up on the board and they have the game up on the Jumbotron in Citizens Bank Park. This was a really cool moment to kind of get a reaction from Brandon Marsh live. So this was on NBC Sports Philadelphia. The moment the Phillies found out, not only did they win the game, but they are also going to get the buy and they're going to clinch at least the two seed. Just wanted to come on here and just see a couple of things just on behalf of the teammates to mine. No, that's the wrong one. Well, we'll get back to that in just a second. That was Brandon Marsh talking about his, that was pregame he was on the air, which was equally cool. I thought he did a really good job on that as well. But here is Brandon Marsh post game. Well, we're just one out of way for maybe getting the buy. We'll see what happens in that Brewers Pirates game. I know. Watch that up on the big video board. Throw them out. Well, they got a chance to throw them out. Oh, I got them. Leachouts. Well, congratulations on that one. I think we have two more. How about that? How about that? Oh, hey. Hey, don't. Not even sick. Well, is that two outs and three outs? That's three. Let's go. That's three. Oh, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Wow. Hey, we need these. Oh, wait, thanks, man. You guys are trying to stretch out. That was good, though. Nobody better. That was good. That was good. All right, so what's that mean? Happy. At least one of the buys going in. I mean, you guys have been, you know, obviously playing as the wildcard the last two years. Yeah, you know, that's huge. Huge from there. Huge from the, huge from the arms, you know, wheeling, Nola, Sanci, Ranger, huge for all those guys. Get them another little series off, some more treatment, you know, all that stuff, you know. Yeah. That's a great feeling. I think that's like one celebrate. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yeah. He's a, he's a good fit for this city. He is. He enjoys playing baseball. He enjoys the routiness of the crowd. He's a good field. And he gets, I think he deserves a lot of credit for the September turnaround that he's put together because he was dreadful at the back end of July in the early portions of August. The strikeout rates was like, it was closing in on 40% of his at bats or has played a few appearances for that matter. He's done a really nice job. His swing path has become a little bit cleaner. He's, he's striking out a whole lot less. He's hitting lefties at a better clip than he was at the beginning of the season, tip of the cap to Brandon Marsh because they needed him. We talked about Austin Hayes yesterday and what he's going to provide. I think that this is a really encouraging sign to see Brandon Marsh succeeding the way that he has over the last couple of weeks. Yeah. Right now, two 54 16 homers, 60 RBIs. I recently, I don't get in the, in the social media beasts or go back and forth with people. You know, I do. I absolutely do not. Now the missing, the missing, I always think he's all mad about, about being called out, about putting Jamie's name out there. But anyway, but there, there are you ever handle social media for the good fight, which is the, is it an SB Asian Phillies blog? The good fight. I'm not sure who they're affiliated with pH. But like, like they do a really good job though. Yeah. I read their stuff. You know, there's a reason why I follow them on Twitter. Yeah. They're, they're a good site. And whoever they put out this tweet being like, no one's talking about this trade anymore. And it was a hoppy versus marsh, marsh in the stats. And I had to respond to back saying like, it's kind of odd that you're comparing those two because like really what you, what I look at it, I don't compare marsh to a hoppy. I'm comparing what else they could have done with a hoppy. Or if you shouldn't have moved off of JT Rilumuto, which they weren't going to do. If you have a hoppy, the only thing you can do is you put JT at a different position, which doesn't make sense. Or you put a hoppy at a different position, which I guess you could make, make the case. But trying to compare them to, to marsh to me didn't make sense. And it was really kind of a shot at marsh like, Oh, look what you got for this great young catcher. Cause he's good. Oh, hoppy's really good. Oh yeah. He's going to be a good player for a while. Here's the thing. Comping them is always going to happen because they were traded effectively one for one for each other. Right. So it's always going to be the case that you're going to comp these two guys together. Oh, hoppy said I had a really nice year. He would have also been road blocked by JT Rilumuto for at least four or five seasons. So would it be nice to have a future catcher waiting in the wings? Because you know, JT is getting a little bit banged up. He's getting a little older, you know, the, the, he's probably on the back nine of his fillies career. Of course it would. But in the, in the moment the comp is, the comp is, is fair because of they were traded for each other. But it's, it's not the exact comp that I would consider it's a shallow comp. Obviously they were traded for each other, but why are you comparing, why are you comparing the two players to it? Like, like I said, if anything, the discussion is should, should you have, should you have traded them and should, shouldn't you have waited like at this point with a hoppy? He needs to be a major league regular. Correct. That's why he's better than JT Real Muto is right now. So he's not going to be a part-time player. Is there another, is there another position that he could have played or anything like that? I mean, that's really the discussion. So are you, are you asking me, is it what is the, the more fair question, could they have gotten more value for Logan, oh, yes, that, I mean, honestly, that's the real question. But then again, I don't know what else they were offered. At the time, I don't know. I don't know. They were right major league. We don't know. I just like, I never looked at it with, I never, ever looked at it and said, Oh my God, all like, like Brandon Marsh against so hoppy, like, yeah, maybe they didn't get enough back form. They got a starting center fielder on a team that has the second best record in the national league right now, who is 16 home runs a 254, two betting 254. It could be a lot worse that they got, they got a major league ready center fielder left fielder. That's not making a lot of money, right? He helps with the payroll as well. So, I mean, would I have liked a star player back for a young catcher who looks like a future all star? Yeah, I mean, I would have loved to get everything back for him, but it's just like, I don't know. It's just a weird, a weird thing to put out there for me. That's all understood real quick before we get out of here and we get to our first ad reads. Just a quick update on the, uh, the wild card standings, uh, the Dodgers are a half game up on the Phillies. They'll play tomorrow. Uh, excuse me, they'll play today. Phillies are idle today before the three game series of Washington. The Dodgers will play the, uh, the Padres today. Brewers obviously have clinched the central, but they did lose last night. So that is why the Phillies are going to be the two seed. The Padres are the only, uh, wild card team who has clinched the playoff spot. They lose last night. They're three and a half up on the, uh, on the Braves. The Braves are a game back of the Diamondbacks for the final wild card spot. The Mets and the Braves are into a, uh, an interesting situation because tropical storm or Hurricane Helene, whichever it's going to be when it makes landfall is, is wreaking havoc, uh, in Atlanta and the surrounding areas, they didn't play last night. They're not playing today. Uh, now there's going to be a double header on Monday to determine if it, where or if or what seed any of those two teams end up being in the playoffs. Uh, I got to be honest, I, I don't feel for Mets or Braves fans because they're Mets and Braves fans. I do feel for Mets and Braves fans though, because now you are at a, at a larger disservice by having to make these two games potentially matter, uh, when you know that the playoffs are going to start on Tuesday. It has the potential of being an awesome Monday, if you're a baseball fan and these two games actually matter. So the issue, the issue too is the Mets were, uh, the, the Mets were on the road, then they've got to go to Atlanta and then if they, whoever wins this game, uh, or wins those two games in the series potentially may end up having to go back to Milwaukee and you know, in the span of 48 hours, it's going to be a weird 48 hours for these two teams. Yep. And I'm with you. Way deal with it. And I mean, I do feel bad, it's unfortunate that 162 game season comes down to a double header that shrinks your day after the seizure rotation, you know, even further than it was. It's not like it's game one 63, right? Remember when the Padres and Rockies played a game one 63? Yes, to determine the NOS. It's not a one 63. It's just an unfortunate circumstance of weather delays. This could have been handled better by Major League Baseball. I think they should have probably postponed these games earlier in the week, but I do feel bad to an extent that these teams are going to be kind of hamstrung with at least one of them making the playoffs. Yeah. Oh well. All right. Um, her herb is just, he's on, I don't know where he is. He's back on 95. So if he's going to be here, it's probably going to be later in the program, did he get off of 95? I mean, let me say it says moving 95, he got, so I guess he got off the 95 and then he came back around on 95. So he'll probably be here towards the end of the show. Um, anyway. All right. So let's talk about, talk about bedparks and the bedparks at an online casino man. The best, the best I was on there this morning. I'm like, all right, what do I think about this game that I, to check it out, Cowboys minus five and a half over the Giants. It almost seems too easy to take Dallas, but I'm going to anyway, but I love this. Dak Prescott over two 99 and a half passing yards and that's plus two 65. I think like if you look at what's been going on with Dallas, CD lamb had bad body language and everything else, and he had to come out and apologize and said he's going to do better. Big loss last week by the Cowboys, they get mauled at home by the saints and the Giants won last week. So I think they respond in a big way. I would take Dallas minus five and a half Eagles minus two. This is really interesting because it's been bet down a little bit. I would suspect by game time, it gets down to a point, the bucks are minus a point. So I would wait, if you like the Eagles in this game, I would wait and see where that line goes. By the way, the weather's not supposed to affect the game on Sunday. If you're trying to get into Tampa, either today or tomorrow, good luck, but it's supposed to be cleared out by Saturday and I think by Sunday, it's going to be totally fine. So weather will not be a problem for the game. But listen, that's, that's what you get when you go to the, the bet parks app right now. It's the only, only app that I use. It's what I recommend.

But let's, let's talk about this for a second. I don't, I don't know how much I, I, I'm a pretty big college football fan. I know Tyler's the same way. We're at a pro football town. So I don't know, like it's not, we're not an SEC country or anything like that. But I love college football. And I like, I actually kind of follow UNLV. My brother-in-law lives in, lives in Vegas. So I've been to a UNLV game before. I have a friend who works in radio in Vegas and he's the sideline reporter for running rebels football and he does stuff with the basketball team. So like I pay attention to UNLV, which probably they're never good, usually in football. Tyler, the, the, the most, the most famous UNLV football alum is who? And in particular, it's a Philadelphia connection. The most famous UNLV alum. Yes. The most successful UNLV, UNLV run and rubbly was drafted in the second round by the Philadelphia Eagles. He was an all American punter while at UNLV, but he also was a quarterback. The only punter who played quarterback I can think of is Tom Tupa. And I know obviously that's not Danny, once upon a time, the Cowboys quarterback also punted. Yeah. I thought was the weirdest thing as a kid. I don't know the answer to this question. Randall Cunningham. Oh my gosh. You know what? How did I forget Randall went to UNLV? That's so bad on my part. Well, yeah, so bad on my part. You got to, you got to hit the books then you would say, I mean, listen, you know, I'm pretty good with college pro connections. I don't know how I forgot that one. Well, because no one thinks of Randall, as they think of him as an Eagle, not UNLV. Anyway, UNLV was, is three and oh this year, they're ranked. I mean, this is a football program that is brutally bad over the course of however many years, right? So they start this, the season three and oh, Matthew Sluka, who was a, was a quarterback who transferred in from Holy Cross, Holy Cross, transferred in as a fifth year senior. He started three and oh, and he announced that he is leaving the program, taking his red shirt, not playing anymore. So if you would have played past this game, he would have no more years of eligibility and he's doing it because he says he was offered $100,000 to come and play for the run and reps. Um, and Herb texted me and said, I'll be there in five, be here in five minutes. Okay. So this is the first case that I'm sure we're going to see many cases in the future, but this is the first time we're actually seeing it where in season a player is saying, Hey, I need to be paid. I haven't been paid. Now the school's position is that there was never a formal offer for $100,000 for him. And I think they offered him like $5,000 on four different occasions. There was like 3000, a couple of $3,000 payments or something like that. But the agent of this kid is saying, no, we were verbally offered $100,000 by the offensive coordinator. You'll know these saying like, well, he doesn't have the authority to offer $100,000. So I don't like he said, she said, who do you believe? You know, V coming out and saying, well, he didn't have the authority to do it. So are you saying he didn't offer $100,000? You know what I mean, Tyler? If the, if the offensive coordinator verbally offered him $100,000, I would say that's a verbal offer to come and play. So here's the thing that that's kind of, I think that may be the hold up to this question is does a verbal offer hold legality? I don't know the answer to that question, right? So I don't think he can sue, but he can leave, which is what he is. Certainly within his right, he could have left regardless. I would assume now he would have broken contract if there was actual payment. But that's the difference. If there was actual like legitimate payments to it, he would have broken contract. But I don't know the answer to that question if it's a verbal agreement. I think that they're kind of, this is kind of a murky situation where- For sure. Oh, for sure. It's shady by the people paying to not pay up if they did agree. It's also unclear whether Sluka can actually recoup his money if there's no written contract. Yeah. I don't know. I think 99.999% of the time on the side of the players get your money. You deserve it. Your coach is bailing you all the time. You should get your money and be able to leave too. But in this particular instance, I don't know if, I don't know if it's applicable. So I consider myself somewhat of a legal scholar, Tyler. I've watched a ton of people's court. That's right. You did tell me you are a detective, a lawyer. I like first 48. Yeah. Judge Mathis got a little bit crazy at the end there. So I didn't watch Judge Mathis. It's legit. I used to DVR people's court and then I would watch it with Judge Millian, then I would watch it when I was doing dishes or cooking or whatever. Love it. So verbal agreements are still an agreement. In this case, he, he's not going to be suing and winning anything in court. That's not going to happen. I'd be shocked if that happened, but he did decide to leave. And like the real thing for me is that, A, this isn't the kids' fault. I'm not even going to blame UNLV. This is a freaking wild, wild West. All right. Rob's actually calling me right now. Should we take the call in the air? Let's do it. Hold on. Hold on. Herb, I have you on speaker. Are you here? I'm a couple blocks away. Yeah. All right. So would you like us? Would you like us to come? See, I don't want to send somebody down to you're actually here in case you get lost. So why don't you send me a text message when you're in the parking lot and then I'll send somebody down for you. All right. All right. All right. All right, buddy. All right. All right. All right. So he's probably going to be here shortly. But like this is the NCAA's problem and like they weren't looking to do this. They got sued and they lost obviously, so they got to try to figure this out. But in the meantime, so if this kid's worth $100,000 and I don't, I don't know if anybody really like, he's not a good passing quarterback. His completion percentage was 43% this year. He's more of a running quarterback. He's a classic college quarterback. And honestly, if I was a school like Temple or any of the Mountain West schools or, you know what I mean? Like a school like UNLV, I wonder how much this guy in modern, modern college football Tyler is worth because I, one of the things that's being said out there is that they started three and oh, and this is when an agent got involved. And that's when the agent's like, no, you owe us $100,000. So they're also is the side of he was never offered $100,000. They started, they started three and oh, and that's when a power play happened. Like, Hey, you want to keep us? You want to win this season? You got to pay us, which is also a strong possibility is something that happened. And I will say this too. I've seen it circulating on Twitter and, you know, tweets can only go as far as what you see on the surface value sometimes. But it does appear to me that a lot of the UNLV teammates of his are not on his side. Correct. I'm excited about the backup being the starter now. I don't know if it's because of a low completion percentage. I don't know if they just dislike the guy, you know, I don't know the personal relationships between these guys. They probably barely know him. When did he come to Nevada in like August? I mean, I would assume probably for camp, right? So he's been there a couple of months and he's already bailing. I mean, that would piss me off too. So I think that, you know, it probably speaks a little bit of volume to say that some of his teammates are not in the foxhole with them, if you will, right? I don't know. I don't know the right answer to the situation. It's a weird scenario because both sides could be at fault or maybe in this instance, neither side is at fault. I don't know the answer to this question. I think it's it's and without knowing the actual details, it's tough to to to really know. But if this is probably this last kid, I mean, played four years at Holy Cross. This is this now he's at UNLV and he's and he's supposedly getting paid. Even though I tell him the text me when he's here, he still continues to call me. Hold on a second. Her. Are you here? I'm here. Okay. All right. We'll send. We'll send we'll send somebody down. All right. All right. There he goes. All right. We need to go get her. Good luck Alexa. All right. But like so this is he he stopped playing so he could play one more year. This is going to be the last year of professional and really is professional football now. This is going to be the last year he plays other than maybe arena or CFL, which I even doubt about that. So if this kid now is trying to make the most money that he can, really, this is his last year of earning power as an as an athlete, if you can make $100,000 transferring to some school, then I don't blame him at all. It's $100,000. Right? Oh, go get your money. Go get your money. I believe her in that. I just I don't know. I don't know enough to know if he's worth that much money. I mean, he was three, you know, and if you have a, if you're a booster in some Fresno state or Washington state or temple or something like that, or is there enough money for NILs because honestly, like now with these schools and you saw Wodes leave ESPN and now like he's going to say Bonaventure for basketball, they're looking to him as a fundraiser. They want because they know they need money to field teams. This is, this is a professional league now. Kids are getting paid. There's payrolls. You're going to have, now you have payrolls for college teams, basketball, women's basketball. So makes things different. That's for sure. But I was, I'd be curious to see how this plays out because it's not like that. This isn't a, this isn't a, this isn't a prized quarterback that there's going to be a bidding war over him, but he may get a couple colleges. If the, I want, I just wonder what the price is for a guy like this. And by the way, diving a little bit deeper into the backup quarterback situation at UNLV. So the next man up seems to be Hodge Malik Williams, who was in Campbell for a couple of years. He is Campbell's all time passing leader and touchdown leader, a dual threat quarterback who put up some really big numbers against Dion's Jackson state team a couple of seasons ago. A lot of, a lot of UNLV fans seem pretty excited about the opportunity of this guy being the next quarterback up. So here's what we're going to do on Philly Philly with John Marks, UNLV has now become our, our team that we root for and follow. Nope. Stop. Well, I mean, like, listen, you can, you can do your Penn State stuff or whatever, but start Bryce, Bryce and start wearing the UNLV helmet in the locker room. I thought it was pretty cool because he's from Vegas. So what, at least with me and maybe our viewers in our chat there, we can root for UNLV. That'll be my, uh, that'll be my, my P five or my, my, my non P five team. Yeah. You can have a second team. Why can't you have a second team? I guess you could. Yeah. I mean, I don't have a second team. Yeah. I don't have any team. That's what I'm saying. Give me UNLV. I went to temple. Why would I, why would I root for you? You hardly have a first team. I don't have a first team. That's what I'm saying. Algold and I became a big temple fan when Algolden became coach. I thought he did a really good job and then obviously with Matt rule, but so, uh, trust tree here when, when Penn State hired, um, James Franklin, yeah, I wanted them to hire Algolden. That's who I wanted as Penn State said, coach at the time I thought it made sense. Uh, clearly James fran, no, we can not have been a good hire. We can have a million hour conversation about James Franklin, but James Franklin was a better hire than Algolden would have been. I think we can agree upon that. Oh, you know, Algold would not have worked that at the time. That's who I wanted to be the next head coach. Yeah. Algolden did not do a good job in Miami. He was back. I don't even know where he's doing right now. He was back being a positional coach. He was in with the lines at one point, I remember, but anyway, all right, herbs should be coming up here in a second. Let's talk about Dr. Glatt. And I actually, I finally sent the picture to Tyler, Glatt hair restoration. Here's the before and after picture that I've been talking about. So like Tyler talks about his hairline and how the hairline's going back or whatever, which is, which is very typical of men that are at 30 years old, maybe even a little bit younger, maybe a little bit older, but you can see the hairline. And that picture actually, I was probably 35 in that picture. So I'm still a handsome man. My, my, my hair was, you know, it was short, wasn't shave buzz, but you can see the hairline, right? And you can see it right there. That's me with my, with my youngest daughter, just three years ago, and you can see what it looks like right now. That's Glatt hair restoration. If you want your hair back, man, keep it simple, stupid. My whole life is trying to keep things simple. And if you want your hair back, there is not a better, not a place you should go other than glatt hair restoration. Now part of the Morgan Stern Center, under the direction of renowned plastic surgeon, Dr. Ken Morgenstern, same approach, same starter of the art location, same results. And Dr. Glatt's hair team. And these are the people that I've known for years now, each member brings 30 plus years of industry experience. So hair restoration is all they do. They just don't have the technology and they don't buy the technology and say, Hey, we're doing hair restoration. We've actually been doing this for over three decades, and you see it in the results you do. And it's not just about hair restoration, leading edge treatments for prevention and restoration maintenance. Like I go through maintenance phases to make sure that it's still full and thick, right? Non-invasive treatments, vitamin supplementation, which is used by a lot of women these days, oral and topical medications, PRP and stem cell restoration, which I've had. That's good for this part of the head. And then of course, the hair restoration surgery, which I've had. So complimentary one on one consultation, come in the office and they say, Hey, here's what I think you should do. Go over everything else. Glatt hair is not just about restoration. It's about innovation. So change your hair and change your life. Bald is now optional. We want your hair back. Call them today.

Herb has called me again while he was doing the, the read, which is it takes you inside of her. He doesn't think Herb can tell us about rugged road. You think you'd be good at that? I don't think Herb is at the right building. Just be like when Sean Brace came in here last week, he was in the seventh floor of the wrong building. Oh. Like we're at the seventh floor. I was waiting for him. I'm like, dude, I think you're in the wrong building. He's like, I think I'm in the wrong building. Well, the good news about our building is if you go up any further, you're going to end up on the roof with the bees. So you know you went too far if you, if you end up with the bees. Something that tells me Herb is, is not in the proper location. But maybe we can, we can, we can give him a cooler from rugged road. How about this?

A good cooler, Tyler, and I have a, like in my garage, my garage is a mess, but I have one really, really good cooler that can keep stuff cold for probably like the seven days. Okay. You know, it's a, it's a good core. It's also like this big and it's not something that you can take around easily. It's for the backyard barbecue where you're putting everything in it. It's not good for transport. I could never take that out on the, out on a, out on a, even tailgate. If I was going to a game, I'd never take that. But all the other coolers that I have crap, total crap, I need, I need one of these. You do. Well, especially too. Like if you don't have the, the beer fridge in the, in the, in the garage or wherever, you know, wherever, you know, like that act, the second fridge, the old fridge that used to be your fridge. Right. Well, you keep everything cold and it gives a kind of cold, at least that was a, that was at my mom's house. We used to have a second fridge in the garage that like, it still worked, but it wasn't the fridge in the, in the living room, gosh, put your fridge in the living room. You've got other issues in the kitchen, um, the, the fridge in the, in the garage was like pseudo cold. Yeah. And you put some, some beer in there. Yeah. It's like 38 degrees. Yeah. It's like non-perishable and stuff like that. Yeah. It keeps them cool. Like a nice cool one as, uh, they said in, no, hold on a second and we got herb. No, I don't want to be on there. Maybe he's coming up. It's ringing. Yeah. We already know a major. All right, buddy. All right. All right. All right. Use the bathroom. We'll see. We'll see you soon. All right. Bye-bye. There he is. Yeah. Herbs been in the car for like an hour and a half. So he's going to get like 10 minutes on the air. Right. And I mean, by the way, I have to go to the bathroom too. So I can, I know exactly how he feels, especially he's a little bit of an older man. He probably has some prostate issues, right? I know that like with me, I constantly have to go to the bathroom. It's quite embarrassing, honestly. I am like, if I, if I, if I have to drive an hour, I know where every Wawa and Starbucks is to go have to go to the bathroom in the area and the Starbucks bathrooms must better than the Wawa bathrooms. Well, the, what's itself, uh, self understanding is like one of the steps that they say, something like that. And by the way, I've been to a doctor about this. It's just because I'm getting old and, you know, this is what you do when you get old. It stinks. All right. Let me put this out there. Um, the, the Eagles are two point favorites. I do not like the Eagles in this game at all with the injuries that they're having. I hope they're not trying to get a J Brown or Devontae back lane really shouldn't play. And as, as well as Fred Johnson came in, in relief, now you're going to have a defense and Todd bowls and Todd bowls is a very good coach. Now you're going to have Todd bowls that is now saying like, Hey, we're going to go after the right side of this line. And that's a lot different than Fred Johnson coming in and doing a good job in relief. And I, I just think this is one of these really tough games, second, second week in a row where you're on the road and remember this too, the saints were coming off a big emotional win over the Cowboys and the Eagles had a really bad loss to the Falcons and everybody thought the Eagles were going to lose down in New Orleans and they ended up winning. Saints came up. Eagles responded. Saints didn't play well. Their offense didn't play well. Now this week, the Eagles are coming off a very emotional win down down to New Orleans against the saints and the bucks mean why a loss on their home field, who did they lose to again? A bad team Denver Denver. We, we, we wrote to Yulji for Bo Nix and Denver and they go down and they win. So it's the exact same thing. They're coming off a bad loss. The Eagles are coming off a big emotional win. I just think it's a bad spot for the Eagles this week. Um, so you and I talked about this and I said my, my, my thought process behind the saints game and the bucks game is they were going to split those two games and I wasn't sure which was going to be which and I ended up leaning. They were going to lose to the saints and beat the bucks. Now they beat the saints again. Like you said, the bucks just got beat pretty handedly by a bad football team on their own, on their own field. Right. The, the guy that innately worries me on this bucks offense is Chris Godwin, especially with Chris Godwin in the slot, knowing how he kind of feasts on some safeties and some nickel corners, third corners, can someone grab him from the, is he in the building herb? He's here. Just walk down and tell him to come up here. He's, this is, this is for people that don't know who are at herb. This is herb. Um, so I think that I would probably tend to agree with you between a bounce back win for Tampa, uh, close game. I kind of need a close, like, like last week we talked about it and I said I'm taking the Eagles with the points and I think the saints win the game. So I thought it was going to be a, you know, like a, a very close game, but the Eagles cover. They end up winning the game, which is great. I think that the inverse could necessarily, you know, could, could be true where the, uh, it's a close game. The bucks end up winning the game. Um, you come out of this one and one. It's not the worst place to be, but if you want to establish yourself as one of the premier teams in the, in the conference, you want to be three and one when you look at the first four games before the beginning of the season, you said three and one at worst and then you got to actually play the games, but I'm like you. I, I look at, I kind of look at the season at four games at a time and you can do wins and losses, but I kind of group them like, all right, they'll go three and one during these next four or they'll go two and two because like you said, if they lose it, the saints are not losing the bucks. If they beat the saints, they might lose the box and that's just the nature of sports and that's a nature of the week to week NFL, you know, so, um, not, I will say this though. I know the bucks are also a little bit banged up on the offensive line. Uh, I believe they had a, an injury to an, one of their guards, uh, I was just looking at the bucks, uh, injury report and I think a couple of guys didn't practice yesterday. Now granted it's Wednesday. So, um, you know, it's a long way away, but like, uh, Mike Evans was limited. He's going to play. Chris Godwin is limited. He's going to play. Bucky Irving was limited. He's going to play, but the question becomes like this collage of cancy play does, uh, Antoine Winfield play does, you know, uh, there's, there's some injury news for them as well. So I don't know, I, I, I don't have a feel for this game at all other than, other than what I said last week and I think they're going to go one and one, but I would, my, my gut would tell me they, they don't win this one, but I, I don't know at this point, but I also like, I wouldn't be shocked if they won, right? Like this, I, they could, they could, they could win this game and I'd be like, Oh, that's a good win. You're asking me right now who I pick in the game. This just feels like at one of these games where the bucks have the kind of the momentum to win the game. Herb from Northeast. So he joins us now in studio. What do you got on there? Herb, you're looking, uh, you're looking, uh, you're looking great. Yeah. So Herb, you want to, yeah, bring this over here and go right there. Bring the microphone. You look at you. You got that slick back here. You just get a freshy. Did Nikki Fox give you a fresh haircut. I just had my hair. I had a couple of days ago, you know. What's going on? Herb. Back in Philly, you know. So what are you wearing? What's the, what's the outfit today in the, uh, in the costume, you know, green and white? So you got the jumpsuit on like a, like a big pussy in, in Sopranos and then you have a, a Ryan Howard shirt. Yeah. Celebrating the Phillies. Wow. Look at you. Now for people that don't know, Herb is very much, he is a baseball guy. He's a football guy too. He's a baseball guy. If you're watching in Northeast Philadelphia, you may recognize Herb. He is a legend in Northeast Philly. I've met many people that have been like, oh, I know Herb. He's been umpiring our games for years. You're a well-known umpire who Tyler, and Tyler Zulie Herb in there, he's, he's my producer. He's a big baseball guy. Herb actually went to umpiring school in Florida. You know, I'm thinking about it, you know, we, we, we, we played a lot of games in Northeast Philly. We might have had you at some point. Yeah. He went to Harry Wendell's stats umpiring school because he was trying to be a professional umpire at one point, right Herb? That's correct. Yeah. Now Herb also would be the guy that would try to show up the batter with strikeouts and things like that. Right. You would have very loud called strike three. Yeah. Mm hmm. All right. There you go. Well, so, so Herb, how was Brazil buddy? I had a great time. It was a long flight, 17,000 miles up and back. And you spent, you spent 10 days here. I spent nine more while was, uh, we flew on overnight, uh, Labor Day night. I flew over to Atlanta and then Atlanta to, uh, San Paulo was, uh, about nine and a half hours. We arrived like five, so you're saying we, did you take the triple loan or? Yeah. Well, it was, you want one with the fan? It was other. I, I went on myself because I used to do these trips years ago back when buddy run. And Ryan was the coach, you know, right. And, uh, I went alone and, uh, we flew into, uh, San Paulo, about five, 30 in the morning, clear customs. I was at my hotel about with all the traffic, uh, from the airport, uh, into the downtown, uh, San Paulo, I was about a couple of hours, you know, all right. Now, were you assaulted or robbed or were there any criminal acts done towards you? No. Yeah. It was dangerous. There was, you saw a few people on the street. There was a few in different areas. There was, uh, you know, homeless sleep and just like any other city, uh, and, and, uh, Rio de Janeiro, uh, when I got there, there was a few, uh, fan handlers outside my hotel. You can walk outside and get there. So that's fine. Not hard. Did you meet any, any Brazilian ladies? Cause we know you're, you, you have the gift of gab. I've seen you. I've seen you at, uh, at Chiggy's and Pete's and police like that. I've seen a few people, but I mean, you didn't get lucky. No, I didn't get lucky, but a lot of them people, we got to speak for zillion, you know, like Portuguese. Yes. Portuguese. You don't speak Portuguese. Nah, nah. So you had a good time, had a good time. Good. Yeah. How's your health doing her? And I feel good. I feel good. We haven't talked in a while. Like I said, you look nice. Two weeks of relax vacation. Yeah. And I didn't, I didn't drink anything or whatever. I just relaxed and any drugs, I had to pull and stuff. No drugs. No drugs. Good. Nothing. Okay. That's good. All right. Well, we had, we had a bunch of stuff planned. We had, uh, we had ask Herb segment plan. I know you were, you believe me, you left early enough. It was just a bad accident on 95 and you, and you ran into that. Yeah. I went off. I got over the Taurus Dale, took Taurus Dale to Harvison and then got back on when they started seeing the, uh, cars up on 95 removings. I said, I let me get back one there and see what I can do. So, so you figured it out. Yeah. Yeah. You know, you got it done. All right. Well, let me, I mean, we have a couple of questions here because people have been like, they, they still hear you on the radio, calling it on the radio, but this is a much more intimate setting when you sit here with me and have nice, but what feet, do you like it? And then nice. Oh, yeah. See, I told you this is cool. I told you this is big time reminds me of what I see on ESPN. What's his name? Uh, you know, the kicker, uh, the kicker, you know, the guy used to, uh, a Macafee. Huh? Oh, Macafee. All right. Yeah. This is reminds me of that. The Mac. So you like the Macafee show? I watched it once in a while. Did they use the F word on the Mac? Yeah, I know, I know. Which is crazy. All right. Well, Herb, if you could go on a date with any woman or man in the world, who would it be? Hmm. This is an S is ask her. We got to try to jam some of these things in there. Anybody in the world, Herb, anybody in the world, who would it be? It could be somebody that is deceased if you wanted, wanted to in their prime. Well, didn't you, I wouldn't mind going out with, uh, that what's her name, Taryn Hatcher. We might be able to arrange it. I can see. I think she's spoken for it, but yeah, we could always, we could always do that. That's a good answer. I like that answer. That's good. If you were stranded on an island and only could have one thing to eat, one thing to drink, what would it be? Uh, one thing that would go for, uh, some, uh, linguini. So you're on a desert island, linguini and Pepsi or, uh, what's your drink of choice? Yeah. Pepsi or diopepsy and, you know, diopepsy, maybe, uh, maybe a beer or something, you know, Corona Corona. That's a good answer. Corona is my favorite beer. Can you put a lime in it or you like it without lime? Yeah. Lime's good. Because I can't drink it without a lime. Corona, but only with a lime herb, I know you have some opinions on the Eagles for people that don't know her very much. He mentioned buddy Ryan is an old school football guy. Your philosophy on offense is run the ball. You like fullbacks running the ball. You like power running and then playing defense. Lots of blitzes. Correct. Yeah. But I like to also mix up the past, you know, run the ball and keep the defense, keep the defense guessing with they're not sure if you're going to run, you're going to pass. You're going to throw a screen pass. You got the tight end catching. What I like what they did this past weekend was Goddard finally got in and got open and he didn't have to throw anything, you know, crazy where he was wide open there and he just catches it and runs right down the field and that's what they need to do. They need to get him in open areas where he can perform and run the ball. Run 50 or 60 yards down the field by there's a few other guys, you know, they're going this week, it looks like a smitty and Brown's going to be out again. So it looks that way. Now the big, the big story this week with Eagles fans is they, they hate Nick Sirianni and even though the Eagles won, they still want Sirianni gone. Do you feel the same way? Do you have confidence in the Sirianni Herb? I think, you know, what we, we usually could be three and oh, because of that Atlanta game and my philosophy is it doesn't matter if you're home or if you're away. The first half you got to put up some points. I don't care if it's, if you go down the field 50 yards, 75 yards, whatever it is and you get down inside the red zone. You get down to the 10 or the five, whatever and you would have kicked field goals as opposed to going. Yeah. If, if it's fourth and three, fourth and four, I'm not taking a chance. Okay. I'm going to go kick the field goal, get the points on the board and her bang on a second. I just want to thank, just want to thank the diehards out there. Shout out to the diehards. Thank you very much everybody out there, but yeah, so you're taking the points and everything else. We're like, yeah, we needed some more time with you today because it's going to take you a little bit of time to get warmed up here and comfortable because this is, you know, you got cameras looking at you, you know, you're before a live studio audience and everything else. So we needed to get you warmed up here for a second. So you got comfortable. All right. But we're kind, we can do another couple minutes here, but we're kind of out of time. So, so what's, what's going on with your love life right now and just working right now. Dan, the world's for go and you're driving. Uh, yeah, well, we have this new system now that the buses that we had were not using them. They're going to sell, they're going to sell two of them. And then we're using electric vehicles, uh, all electric, just like a small golf cart that's implosed, you're driving golf carts around her and it's like an all electric. It looks like. So her driver, Wells Fargo's employees from a lot, Nova care lot. And then no, the Nova care is done now. We're he's driving employees are everybody is dying of my content H H lot, everybody's working in H lot. Oh, so you don't have that far to drive. And we just, yeah, we only got to go like a half a block right up to the security where they walk in and go through security and drop them off, go back to the handicap zone. It's basically for people that can't walk or have a problem, you know, pregnant. We had another day. Got you. We had a pregnant girl. So I said, yeah, get in. We'll take, take you. Yeah, you should help it out the people that need a little bit of what kind of kicks you got there. Herb, Herb spends lots of money on a certain time that I bought a cup about a month, so ago, under armors, they're the new, new thing out. They go for one 29, you know, you spare knows expense with stuff. Find them up at the, uh, Under Armour store, King of Prussian, I go to the outlets from it's not like this one has, uh, this little button that opens it up to the left. And then you tighten it up. You don't have to tie no, uh, you don't have to tie modern day Velcro. It's a new thing out. Wow. See it. You look dynamite. Yeah. Take a picture of that, man. Well, I, I thought that's okay.

I went to Rio de Janeiro on the eighth, they, uh, somehow I was only supposed to be on an earlier flight and they put my bag and wound up. You want to talk about the two, the third day details of my locked up bag for an hour and a half. Were you finally got, got there? Were you recognized by Eagles fans? Were you signing it? Oh, you're so bunchy. I saw a bunch of Eagle fans on the street. Really? Women. Just on any, any, any body parts. Yeah. I saw a few of them. I mean, you know, but I, there was a, in my section where I was sitting in the end zone. Right. There was a lot of Green Bay fans around my hair. Did you fight any? There were some Eagle fans. Nine. I didn't bother with it. It was a bit, it was the, it was the stadium had good points and bad points. Right. And it was more bad points and good points. So overall, was it a good vacation? Was it a good place? Yeah. It was getting there. And then once I got out of there and went to Rio, it was got to be a little nicer and I got to go and visit a few different places.
