Singing you?

Nah.

I mean, I do like the song though, but I'll be there.

I'll be there if I'm singing.

Come on.

I'm singing that now.

Does this end with AJ back on the dude's Undo's podcast singing this?

In a Patreon jersey?

That's what I'm done talking, AJ.

That's that we get to that moment.

I'm out.

Welcome back.

We can't have that now.

Midday show, Hugh Douglas, Joe Gilliam.

2-1-5-5-9-2-94-90 for the bracket of Hughes is really taken off now.

The first round we have madness.

I mean, the upsets that we're getting from the callers today is you guys get to vote

when you call in on a matchup.

A few Douglasses, the actor region, the pop pop region today.

All the voting is well up on our Twitter page.

So that is there.

One quick thing on the bracket before we go back to all the conversation on Bryce Harper.

It is a need to win a world series for this Phillies,

you know, his career here to be a success.

And are you embarrassed by the AJ thing?

Just having a conversation off air with you.

And it sounds like I have a thought in my head on a Douglass we could have for 2027.

What was that?

Dirt bike Douglass.

Dirt bike.

He was thinking about dirt bike.

Not do.

I went to fill my truck up this morning.

Yeah.

And I was like, ooh, it's like $5.

Yeah.

For gas.

I started looking at, I saw somebody ride like an e-dirt bike or e-motor.

They have e-motor cycles now.

Okay.

So because now I'm thinking, you know, get an e-motor cycle.

I ain't got to put gas in it.

I can just plug, I can drive it right at home and plug it up.

Now I'm plotting my way to work every day.

Could you imagine riding to work?

Can you think you're in that age range?

I've seen you in a dirt bike.

I saw like, to be honest, I saw somebody riding an e-bike on an e-dirt box.

That guy.

He was younger.

No.

He was definitely younger.

Okay.

So here's my thing though.

If you do become dirt bike Douglas,

I'm thinking the next logical step is either life alert you or upper room you.

Yeah, because it's like you're on a dirt bike.

I'm gonna go well.

I don't think, no, but if I had a dirt bike or e-motor cycle or whatever they call them,

I don't think I can get on a highway with that.

You know what I mean?

I would have to probably take the back who's gonna stop you.

Well, I'm not getting on a highway.

I mean, but I probably had to get the back where roads to work.

I take the back road.

The people in this city ride wherever the hell they want, wherever the hell they want.

Yeah, so I would have to figure out the new route to work.

The back roads is that hue in the woods?

There it is.

That's just sad.

I had to get up a little bit early in the case because I'm not getting on a highway

because people don't respect people on the highway.

Like was that huge Douglas?

Good ride.

I would definitely have a helmet on.

I would ride with, I would do the safety thing.

That's good.

Probably wear me some leather chaps or something.

Some blue jeans, some boots.

I would take my ride serious.

All right.

You know, I kind of need this, I think.

In a vest, I would get a vest.

I'd probably join a little biker gang.

Had to join a gang.

Or maybe start one.

Well, you don't have to.

Oh, you kind of do.

You kind of do.

Maybe I'll call us.

Do people start biker gangs or just kind of happen naturally?

No, but you know what?

Who wakes up says I'm going to start a biker.

If you ride a bike, put up a wire.

If you ride a motorcycle, you've got to go all in.

So I'm thinking that I will start a chapter

and we'll be called the E-Crucator.

Yeah, we'd be the E-Crucator.

We really workshopped a lot of this.

Yeah, in like five, six seconds.

It says we're going to go there.

We might want to get some chaps.

We got to get the leather jacks.

We don't need chaps.

We got to get some initiation, rituals and stuff.

Not too crazy.

Yeah, we're going to do all right.

Sounds like HR, you might be up next.

All right.

Couple twitters today.

We're poll questions today, which of course are brought to you

by the P.I. dental center.

Your smile is the first thing.

Others see when they meet you.

Learn about the schedule.

Your evaluation at P.I. dental center.com.

First one and what a result on the poll here.

Are you embarrassed by the whole AJ Brown Patriot situation?

Hear what you're guests on the results.

That 8% yes.

No, no.

It is a dead even split.

Not 50.

50.

Yeah, we're 50 because it's still not done yet.

We're still waiting.

The people that are holding the line, thank you very much.

We're still waiting for the final results.

Even though it ain't looking good for none of them.

No, it's not.

No, it's not.

All right, other poll today.

Does Bryce Harper need to win a World Series

for his Philly's tenure to be a success?

Let me guess.

70% yes.

No, it's close.

69% yes.

31% no on the Bryce Harper conversation.

All right, let's get back to your phone calls here.

And when you call in, we'll give you a matchup

in the bracket of Hughes as we roll through

pop-hop and actor region Terrence in Springfield is up on WIP.

Hey Terrence.

Who's your car?

What's up, man?

What up, Terrence?

What's up?

What's up, man?

I am a little upset, man.

I wasn't in the call of tournament, man,

but that's sure I gotta get me in there, man.

Gotta get me in there.

It's a different show.

It's not our call on that one.

It's not our call.

I can't do that.

No, but guys, I'm definitely embarrassed by AJ Brown.

I'll get on Bryce in the minute.

Because, man, Kyle had a nice little exchange, man,

but AJ Brown is definitely embarrassing.

It's not silly to be glazing the Patriots

and you're not even on a team yet.

To be hanging out with Patriots players, man,

it's not that they're sort of the thing to do.

And this guy keeps showing us that he don't want to be here.

Yeah, he's pretty much fitting on the city right now.

And by saying this little chump stuff about

you cry all night when the Patriots won the Super Bowl?

When they lost.

When they lost the Super Bowl,

that's some chump stuff, man.

Little, little house with the real thing, man.

For how many of you say that?

Well, what person, what kid cries all night?

Because a team that, a city that not even from

loses their Super Bowl.

Also, they, some people.

Yeah, I mean, but also with that, Terrence,

why do I care that he cried when he was nine?

He's almost 30 years old.

Like, why is this still like that?

Back to, like, a grown man.

Like, because the glazing is getting to a point where,

like you said, guys, I will turn to my petty side

and I will show you the guy to clip to the poop stain brown

at this point.

Because right now, guys, if I hear one more glazing,

one more interview about the Patriots, guys.

You might go get some cherries and then I'm in his face at his point.

It's getting out of control, guys.

And for Harper, he absolutely has to,

he has to win a championship, guys,

because as he does, it's pretty much,

as pretty much as at the M.B. level,

because they have it, they have been good.

As soon as I've had some good seasons,

but they haven't finished the job.

Harper has played the GM.

He plays a brown role.

He has worked plays over here.

And I told Kyle, there's times in the playoffs

where he hasn't stepped up either.

The last couple of seasons, I played Bryce.

He hasn't been at the best vice-harp where

I was seen in the past couple of years.

The better not that the bank has been so long,

so long ago, guys, and Bryce is getting older, guys.

He has to change the approach to that.

He's still can win a championship, guys.

If he changes his approach to the way he goes,

he has bats, stop being so reckless at the plate.

And sometimes it just secures the win, guys.

You don't got to always go for the lone ball.

And a championship was to admit his legacy

and play it out to you, guys.

That's why this year, it might be the year.

Like, we don't know.

We might have a sneaky year.

We might can make it this year, guys.

But we saw the match stack up.

Every year is harder to win a championship in sport.

So I think when I iron it hot, you've got to strike.

You've got to win it when it's there.

I know, Terri, we might look back at 22 and 23

and say that was those were the years.

And we missed it out.

Yeah, yeah.

All right, Terri, are you ready for your match up

in the bracket of Hughes?

Let's go.

Let's do it.

Let's go to the pop-hop region.

The number eight seed, do nothing Douglas.

When we want to make a trade for a great player

and he's like, no, I'm good.

Against the number nine seed, high hue.

Who do you got?

High hue or do nothing Douglas?

Off.

An honor of 420.

High hue.

High hue, all right.

No, it's March, which is.

No, I'm talking about 420.

No, I'm talking about, but it's, you know, 420.

Everybody celebrates 420 when it's not even on 420.

Because it's not for 20.

Just another day for you.

320.

It's actually today's 320.

Oh, so technically it is 420.

No, no, because today's, it's March.

It's one March.

It's literally not for 20.

No, I guess you.

I guess, I guess technically it's not, but technically.

No.

How could it be, how could it be another month?

Well, see, it's like a technicality.

If I recall, 420 is whichever day you want it.

Because I remember celebrating 420 like twice.

Well, that just means you smoke weed every day.

Not every day.

Well, Friday.

Okay.

Sadly Sunday.

You got it.

Then I got the refrain.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

Thursday.

That's how you get to be as long as you are.

That's how you get to be as long as you are.

All right.

Sorry.

I'm going back to the, um, the sports thing.

Terrence compared Harper to M.B.

Which, based on their playoff history as a joke, looks at a joke, but that, I, I have

a question.

What's that?

Okay.

Is M.B.

Sixer's tenure a success?

No.

B to be a Hall of Fame.

Well, Bryce to be a Hall of Fame too.

Yeah.

All right.

I kind of think it is.

All right.

Maybe this, you could tell me if it's to cop out and answer your question or not.

I think M.B.

's career is a success.

Hurt coming out of the draft and turning to an MVP, Hall of Fame player, this, this, his

Sixer's error, the Sixer's error with Joelle and B.

It's not a success.

They haven't gotten out of the second round, but so we're asking a clown show.

Yeah.

We're asking if Harper's Philly's tenure is a success without a title.

Is M.B.

Sixer's tenure a success without a title?

No.

I kind of think it is.

No, I don't think so.

I don't think when you talk about, I understand why you're saying it's similar.

B21.

Yeah.

But it was one great player in the, and I know it's changing a little bit now where you

need to deeper teams.

But one great player, you should get to a conference final.

Yeah.

And the thing is basketball versus baseball and beat affects his particular game way

more than Bryce does and he has come up small like small.

He performs significantly worse in the post.

He's worse.

Bryce performs better.

I mean, that game seven in Boston on Mother's Day a couple years ago was in a front

to basketball like anyone, anyone that took time away from spending with their own mother

or their wife and the mother of their children should be ashamed.

I'm ashamed.

I'm ashamed.

I watched the game.

It was a joke.

I mean, the walking up the court with James Harden.

When I was at Dorisburg called it out, they're walking up the court.

That was, was that game six year when they could have finished it?

Oh, he is a tough look.

Really?

That's why it's hard to say.

I know.

But it may be think like, you know, he's been an excellent player for the most part.

But I, it's success when, when all the memories are just trash in the biggest moments.

That doesn't feel good.

Teak is in Bucks County.

What's up, Teak?

Hey, what's going on, everyone?

How are we doing today?

Good.

Not much first and foremost, I've run out of gas in a Chick-fil-A drive-through awful.

Oh, no.

Now, where are you at?

Were you at the front of the line or were you towards the back and like, or in the middle

and making everyone's day miserable?

I wasn't right before like getting my order.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

But I just wanted to quote always sunny real quick by saying reasonable prevail to

preface what I'm about to say regarding AJ Brown.

Okay.

Um, so from a financial standpoint, if we get rid of him at all, if he's

to be traded, that's minus $20 million right there or $40 million.

I think since it's going to be post-June for it, it'll be minus $20 million.

That wouldn't make sense because we have a $36.8 million surplus right now.

So that could be used for any like defensive edge that we need or safety like a Jonathan

Grinard or something.

Um, so before you go on, it could be one more to add to what you're saying.

You also can roll cap room over in the NFL.

So let's, let's just say they didn't trade AJ for whatever, right?

They could roll all this money over to next year's cap and have more money to spend on

players a year for now.

They don't, you don't have to use it.

So it, it could be a good thing if they keep it for sure.

So and, and to my second point, from a schematic point of view, no one can really double

team us.

Like if we're firing on all cylinders on often, no one can double team us while we

have AJ here, right?

Oh, well, right.

Yeah.

I mean, we have two receivers of the caliber they do.

It's, it's hard to, to do that.

You're just leaving someone on an island or someone open for sure.

Exactly.

And thirdly, when we interviewed Manion for this offensive coordinator position, it was

said that he featured AJ partially, like, and that's partially why he got the job.

So I, all these things consider, I really don't think he's going to be traded.

I, you can call me crazy and that's fine.

You are.

I really don't think it's going to happen.

So I, I hear you.

And the man, the manion thing is interesting, but Tick, I will, I'll say this.

So that was in January, right?

There's been a lot of things that have happened since then.

And if you're Sean Manion, you don't know what's going to happen, right?

You're not how we, you're not in the front office.

So what else could you do besides show them cut-ups of plays and say, this is how I would

use jail and this is how I would use AJ?

Like, he can't walk in the meeting and say, I don't know, you might trade AJ.

So I didn't even think about him.

Like he, he's just kind of has to approach it as this is the roster you have.

This is what I would do in it.

That's fair.

That's a fair perspective.

Yeah.

Tick, before you go on one more thing, like, I think if he didn't want to go, I think

this would be a different conversation that made like all the thing.

Just the passive aggressive.

I just think the Eagles are in a tough spot because he, he wants out of here.

Sure.

And he's been doing this for the past two years, but within those two years, he did

one of Superboy and then he came out with that message.

I understand.

Yep.

But, you know, I still think it had a lot to do with our offensive scheme last season.

I mean, it's just nothing was there.

If you really look at it, and yes, he did give up on some routes.

Let's not discount that he definitely did.

Definitely not discounted that at the same time.

Like, I really think it was a schematic, like, just, just crack shoot last season.

Like, it was, we didn't even know whether and I was Patula or Jalen calling the

play.

So that's that's all where I'm coming from.

All right.

I hear you.

And, and he's been there with you.

You know, so I, and you're not the only one.

All right, Tick.

Are you ready for a matchup in the bracket of Hughes?

Oh, heck yeah.

All right.

I know what I'm going to get.

All right.

Let's go back over to the actor region.

We're tipping off a big one, a team that everyone's been talking about.

Well, mostly, Hugh, the last couple of months.

The number two seed, 3D Douglas.

What did you, what did you 3D print today?

What he got here?

Oh, I got the little, I did, I guess, the goo here from a, what is it, a stranger thing?

He has eyes.

Yeah, I put the blue eyes in him.

I'll put some blue eyes in him.

All right.

So the number two seed, 3D Douglas against the number 15 seed, Huey Chestnut.

Of course, famous for not eating glizzies whole.

Don't eat glizzies.

Tick, what do you got?

No.

Oh, it has to be the first one.

It has to be 3D Douglas.

I mean, then we talk about glizzies and, and, and you eat and

Billy.

We're on this conversation now.

We ain't doing that.

Tick, great phone call, man.

We appreciate you.

3D Douglas moves on.

I was a lit.

I had a healthy amount of fear of Huey Chestnut.

I have healthy amount.

You know why?

Because it's a good name.

It is.

And it's funny that he won't need a hot dog hole.

It's so funny.

What is your problem?

Not doing it.

No one's really asked you to do it.

But you tell us that all the time.

Now I kind of want you to do it.

Mm, not going to happen.

Do you think you could pull off for the 999 challenge at the

baseball game?

It's good.

Nine burgers, nine beers.

Nine dogs, nine beers.

Nine innings.

Nine dogs.

Yeah, right.

Nine beers, nine glizzies, nine innings.

I could pull off the nine beers.

I ain't eating no nine glizzies though.

I'm not eating them up.

I'm not eating them up.

That's legal.

I can pull off the nine beers now.

This is the one caveat.

Somebody's going to have to take me home.

Well, of course.

Yeah.

You can't drive to the game and do the 999 challenge.

Come on now.

But as far as, because you know what it is for me at my advanced

age, it's too much bread, dog.

That's too much bread to be eating.

It's a challenge.

Yeah, but I can't, that's too much bread and drinking beer.

You ready?

Like here's, that's why it's a challenge.

Because beer is already, you know, like,

it got a lot of yeast in it and stuff like that.

And then you're eating the hot dogs.

That's too much on your stomach.

See, I'm working on this six pack right here, dog.

I'm trying to lay OG way.

You know what I mean?

So I got to keep, make sure I keep that down.

Try not to OG way.

They did it again to him.

No, that's my no.

You know, you know, you know, you know, he got it.

It was funny and multiple people yesterday.

It's like, you I saw you on the YouTube stream.

And I'm taller than you.

Well, that might be hard to tell on the YouTube stream.

Yeah.

You're much taller.

Yeah, I'm a lot taller.

How tall are you?

I'm by six five.

You're not six, not six five.

He's like, okay, I'm like, I'm like, I'm six three.

No, not six three.

Yeah.

Think about you as weak in Google.

You're right.

And you've shrunk since you played a six three.

No shot.

You are shrinking as an old man.

No shot.

You're six three.

Oh, that's it.

That's a joke.

There's no way.

Let's go to Dave in Northeast.

What's up, Dave?

Hey, how you doing, guys?

You I'm big fan of yours.

So you can do no wrong with me, buddy.

But thank you.

I appreciate it.

Listen.

I am the ultimate cut your nose off despite your face.

Not only while I do that, I'll cut my head off despite my face.

Okay.

So AJ Brown does under no sir.

Unless they they're going to give a king's ransom.

AJ Brown does not go to the Patriots.

Okay.

I would rather see him fit in the press box for the next two years.

I don't care what he says on his, you know what?

I've been going with him for the last two years.

Because he's he causes so much friction, so much trouble.

And it's got nothing but worse.

And now he's actually dropping balls and not not running his routes.

I mean, why anybody would want this guy is beyond me.

I'm sorry.

I mean, I know everybody said everybody loves him.

I swear he's lost a step or he is the biggest quitter in Eagle's history.

And Dave neither of those are good, right?

Like so I'm with you and I think you're right on one of those two things.

Watching the end of the season, specifically the playoff game, Dave.

There's only one of two explanations.

It's got to be one of the two.

He's either clearly lost a step and he's in decline.

Or he quit in a playoff game.

They're both bad.

They're both awful.

It's not the first time he's quit though.

It's not the first time.

Really?

No.

Okay and for him to get away with that, for him, for them, I mean it's like that.

The King's New Clothes, where he's walking down the street naked.

Everybody says, oh, great, but there's little kids that said, what that yet no clothes on.

You know what?

Everybody's looking at this guy and saying how great it is.

maybe in the when at the first year

yeah he was great and he's a great talent

but when you have a great talent

and you can't count on him

he's even worse it's a worse it's the worst case scenario and i'm sorry

after all the shit with with the sorry that's how i don't know

and after all this stuff with with the wangling

i'm not sending him the new England unless they're giving me

a lot more than anybody else

i like it personally

personally i think

we put him in the press box

and we say you sit there
