(00:00-39:13) Pat, Connor, and Ray open the show talking about the Phillies. They didn’t claim any of the many players that were put on waivers this week. They ask the question whether they are good enough. The conversation turned to the Braves and if they should fear them. There are differing opinions with the guys. The morning mindbender asks the question, what U.S. President was a licensed barber? Listen for the answer or incorrect answer. They turn the conversation to the Eagles. What is most likely to happen from last years Eagles team and most unlikely to carry over?
(39:19-1:27:17) The guys debate the satisfaction of winning a championship. Pat says winning one championship shouldn’t be diminished if multiple championships do not follow. Connor says you have to keep wanting more. The Phillies start a series with the Brewers tonight. They both have the same record. Ray asks the guys whether we overrate the Phillies or underrate the Brewers.
(1:27:22-2:25:52) The conversation turns to the Eagles roster. What positions are weakest? Where might they have issues? An interesting question is asked about the most clutch athlete in Philly history? Is it Bryce Harper, is it Nick Foles, is it somebody else? Ray talks about a Jonathan Gannon “hype” speech. They also discussed who will have the better season as a rookie head coach, Jonathan Gannon or Shane Steichen.
(2:25:53-2:50:16) New Jersey native and stand-up comedian, impressionist and actor Aries Spears and comedian and podcast partner Andy Steinberg joins the show. They are performing at the Helium Comedy Club in Philly this weekend. They talk about careers, how they met, sports, their podcast, Andy’s hate for his native Arizona and a ton more!
(2:50:30-3:13:07) The guys talk about the difference between the Eagles and Patriots leading into their week one matchup. These aren’t your Dad’s Patriots. The Birds are a level way ahead of the Patriots. Pat thinks the Eagles will roll and blow out the Patriots. Connor believes the Eagles will win but it will be close. Ray asks Pat and Connor what are the rules for rooting for your non-alma mater’s football team.
