Welcome back and it's the midday show.

It's your dog, let's show Julia live.

Don't call you.

It's from the DeBora Heartland Long Center Broadcast booth.

At Citizens Bank Park, as we get set for first pitch.

Oh my way.

Are you on your way?

You've got the fully seasons on its way.

Yeah.

Eagles inside of the year was on its way to the winner.

Yes, congratulations.

Diana Rossini of the athletic,

the afternoon shows Eagles inside of the year.

So year one, it was Elliott Sure Parks.

Elliott was there blindfolded.

He couldn't see anything in that studio yesterday.

To help award the winner this year,

the prize this year.

Hugh, you were in the running for a while.

Your reaction to Diana, I think, well-earned

for all the AJ reporting.

The Eagles inside of the year.

Congratulations to her.

Man, she did a tremendous job.

You know, she does a tremendous job,

you know, reporting NFL all season long

and it's well-deserved.

Congratulations.

Wow.

I just, I didn't think you were going to go.

Well, I just, here's what I think.

I think that you're in a tough place now

because as Diana continues to hit some more home runs.

Regulately speculating.

With all this AJ stuff.

He's not recklessly speculating.

No, she's reporting.

When has he reported?

He is reporting.

She's reporting through sourcing.

Okay.

I'm going to leave that one alone

because I don't want to, I don't want it to seem like,

I'm, you know, saying the sparing things about it.

Well, I think people are going to view this as

you're bitter that you weren't business inside.

Yeah, yeah, that too.

That's what I think.

Because there are, like, from what I've been told

inside of your information,

there are some bitter individuals.

I ain't one of them though.

Really, bitter individuals in the inside of the year.

Well, the runner-up seemed pretty bitter.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

God, I think Kyle's choosing violence along with me today.

But yeah, he chose violence.

Well, there are some, Sarah, some people that, you know,

felt like I don't know for sure.

I'm recklessly speculating.

That's the folks who, and they feel is about the fact that she

won't be claimed to be in the school.

So that's how he tried to jump it.

What's over now here?

We could say it.

I mean, he tried to jump it and it didn't work.

Yeah.

Kyle being super messy.

What?

I thought he was messy.

He was messy by tweeting the winner.

I thought we were trying to be adults about this.

No, I just had a conversation last week.

I have to remind you every week.

This is W. I know it's tough.

But wait a minute, I had a conversation last week

that you were privy to where I was asked not to take

dumps on my coworkers.

And you know, that's why I'm trying to,

I was trying to dance around with them.

Hold on, hold on.

This wasn't he.

He doesn't count.

No.

So okay, okay, from moving forward,

I need a list of who I can.

No, no, no, no, no.

I could take shots at somebody else.

I was told to stop the work.

He's close to working.

He's not, it's not about who it's about what you said.

You said, I don't like this person.

Oh, we're saying is that McLean tweeted that the scoop?

I said, I didn't like McLean at one point.

You said he was dry.

Let me give it a try.

I said he was dry.

Yeah.

Give me an example.

If I say one of our coworkers is a dope,

but then I say, I like them.

It's okay.

That's not really a big deal.

So when you say I don't like them, it gets heavy.

What'd you mean?

But I don't, but you were very messy about the other.

I don't understand because I told him that to his face,

though, so what's the problem?

Well, that's true.

But but what's the problem?

But people don't know that.

It's, it's, it's, it's.

That's worse on the air, but it comes up big.

But I'm just saying if I say,

amen, I don't really like that cat.

And I tell the cat, I don't really like him.

Am I lying?

Am I saying none behind his back?

No, right?

Hugh, the truth isn't always necessary.

All right.

What the truth is needed.

No, I don't want to hear any more from a non-eggels inside of here.

Can I hear from the actual Eagles?

I'm sure that's fair, I'm sure.

Diana Rossini on WIP yesterday asked,

is there any chance of a trade before June 1st?

Here is what Diana told the afternoon.

Do you think there's any chance that it happens before June 1st?

Is there any chance?

No, I don't think it makes any sense for the Eagles to do that.

And I think for, for even Brown's side of it,

I think they, they understand how this is going to go.

And, and I think once we, we get to post June 1,

I think we'll, we'll get some more action.

But I think those conversations that were happening,

what it's like a week ago now between, you know, the Rams and the Patriots

and there were even some more teams

before that really got heated up that were poking around on it

because there was a thought at one time

that maybe how he would be open to doing it.

Maybe before June 1st.

Before June 1st that there was like the small little thought.

And that change pretty quickly Friday,

late afternoon was, was when pretty much that story was wrapped up

where I think everyone kind of went,

all right, nothing's going to happen today.

Let's just wait for June and then, and then we'll bring the discussions back

and we'll, we'll see if we really do this.

So what caught me from that and here that we've been piecing all this together

for a while.

My sense after hearing the way she framed that yesterday is

how we had a certain price pre June 1st

and then the price will naturally drop post June 1st.

And what I think it has been is, yeah, sure, if you're willing to give me

the my price, if you're willing to give me a lot for this player,

I'll eat the cap nonsense.

I'll eat the cap hit and you can have him now.

But if you're not willing to do that, then let's just talk after June 1st.

Like, why am I taking a hit if you're not giving me an overwhelming deal?

That's the way I sense what she's saying.

Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.

It sounds to me like it was a little bit of long talking.

You know, a little bit.

She was on a talk show.

I know, I mean, I'm just saying a little bit of long talking.

Well, I mean, it's just like, what's with you?

What you mean?

I am not inside of the, you're very skeptical of her sourcing.

I am not, she does a tremendous job.

I just in this situation.

In this one, in particular, I just don't see it.

Well, it's because you're holding the line.

I'm holding the line.

All right.

I am down the street.

Well, you need to hear this one here because then she was asked,

is there any chance they'd just bring them back that none of this actually comes

for Wishing here is Diana yesterday.

Do you think there's any way like AJ is open to coming back,

or the Eagles are open to having AJ back,

or maybe they've both decided they know they're going their separate ways?

Yeah, I think at this point, I think both sides

have come to grip with, like, this is probably better.

Everyone goes in different directions.

Look, could something happen?

We would be dumb to make a guarantee on any of this,

because look at Max Crosby.

Right, right.

He did get treated.

He literally got treated and sent back.

So all this stuff is always fluid.

And as you know, it sometimes makes the job a little hard.

Well, as Nick would say, you can't guarantee anything.

Yes.

Who was a Kyle Shanahan said?

I mean, I don't know if I'm going to be alive.

Yeah, exactly.

So, yeah, so look, most likely, I could see this roster being without AJ though.

Most likely.

Well, the thing that was you can't guarantee anything.

No, I mean, and that's true.

And I understand that's why I'm stuck in my beliefs.

In the line, holding the line.

Yeah, I'm stuck in the line.

I'm stuck, yeah, I might be stuck in a malaise, but yeah, I'm holding the line.

Because she's still like, and this is not a shot at her,

but she didn't say anything that made me think that AJ was going to get tried.

Of course, she didn't because she's secure and possible.

I thought she did.

There was a line in there in the beginning of a little bit of long talking to be fair.

She said, the terror belief was that both parties feel it's best to move on.

I'm out now.

Now that that because the Eagles part of this has never been clear, right?

It's always been AJ wants out.

And the Eagles are just either going to do it.

Her saying the Eagles feel it's best.

Hey, y'all, it's Kelly Clarkson with WayFair.

Ever order furniture online and wonder, what if?

Like, what if it doesn't fit?

A little to the line.

The weight!

Yep, should have gone with WayFair.

Or what if it doesn't hold up?

That sofa was four days old.

Should have ordered from WayFair.

Or what if it's that material that makes that noise?

It was a sofa, I swear.

It's one thing if boats parties say it's one thing if one person says I want a divorce

and the person doesn't really want to but they just give you the divorce.

This is the way she framed the beginning of that was both of them realized it's time to go to step

ways. That's an equal single we haven't heard as much.

I will not deny that it does feel like AJ fatigue.

It's even AJ fatigue for me if I'm being honest.

But that still does not say that he's not going to be here.

This is to me, this relationship has not reached the point.

It's annoying.

Yes, is it annoying?

Yes, but this is not unrepairable.

That's why I'm at with this.

There has been nothing that has happened in my opinion, in my humble opinion,

with me recklessly speculating, and me holding the line, and me being dug in as I am,

that gives me any reason to think that this relationship is unrepairable.

And that's where I'm at with this.

And I understand that Diana Rossini talks to way more people than I do.

And she's way more plugged in when it comes to that NFL insider stuff than I am.

This is just me going with my gut and the feeling that I have that there's nothing that has been

done up until this point that is unrepairable.

This is what you call holding the line.

I mean, that's the literal equals insider of the year.

No, it's a chapter in verse.

Shout out to Diana Rossini.

Shout out, she does a hell of a job.

I am just, you know, I'm here, and here I will remain.

If you and a lot of other people are going to have a lot of coping to do.

No, and when it happens, Kyle, I'll sign up for that therapy session, but until it does.

You need to leave the therapy session for all the people that are following Douglass right

off the cliff.

And then the pie pie for AJ Brown.

It ain't like we never had no count sessions before.

It's gotten to the point now where even even my best friend, one of my best friend,

I recently looked at me like dog.

Let it go.

No, not.

You know, you and a lot of people are going to owe Diana Rossini an apology is what's what's

coming next.

And we all know she's going to break the story, right?

Let me tell you, and I hope she's listening.

Whether she does or not, I hope she's listening.

Because Diana, I have a tremendous amount of respect for you, and I'm happy you won

inside of the year, but if you wait for me to apologize, you're waiting a long ass time.

Well, we're doing the show whether you like it or not.

No, we can do it, but we will.

It will ride me of all our apologies.

I don't expect to apologize.

I ain't apologize.

I mean, I know how the show's going to go.

Hugh, lead the people apologize to Diana, and you're going to say some sort of nonsense.

Hold on.

Yeah, it's some sort of apologize.

Yeah, I ain't apologize.

Diana, love you.

I ain't apologize.

Everyone's going to follow your lead, too, which is going to be so annoying.

It's a big open door.

215-592-99.

Morons, you're not that.

That's right.

That's what we do.

This segment is on the line.

The whole of the line segment brought to you by Exfinity, Proud Sponsor of WIP's Exfinity

Mobile Lounge.

Watch all your favorite teams all in one place.

Exfinity, imagine that.

All right, right back to your phone calls on the Phil's expectations.

Are you excited, or is it more of a, hey, wake me up in an actor?

What's that feeling today as we open the 26th season?

Wind totals, predictions, all that.

We'll get to everyone's phone call.

But just one more quick thing from yesterday with Diana on the afternoon show.

Tough look.

I mean, he was taking Elle's left and right.

And then our guy right there in the studio with her, Elle, it's your parks,

getting, I mean, he gracefully, and graciously, I should say, hand it over to the belt,

right?

It belongs to Diana now.

It was Elle, it's last year.

And yet still, kind of a shot at Elle, by Diana.

Let's listen to this.

Can you give him a hand?

Well, she just said, I'll competitive the B1.

You're great at scoops.

Thank you, I appreciate the time.

I didn't see that I was like a meh·d, I hadn't seen it yet.

Wow, she just took his enjouku scoop and crumbled it up

and threw it across the world.

That was, that was low.

That was low-tuff.

Well, she's the champ.

I mean, I guess when you're the champ you can do things like that.

That's low-tab.

I fell for Elle yet there.

Because I mean in Joker was this big thing to start the offseason and I guess to his point in a joke who's still a free agent

I guess it's possible still I mean seriously unlikely but but possible tough look there

I mean Diana one you lost Ellie lost Diana one. That's why you know why you got

It's kind of a win. No you got ripped actually you got crushed Aaron in San Diego is up on WIP good morning Aaron

Good opening day Philadelphia. Good morning, Aaron. How we doing?

What a magical day today is I think it should actually be a national holiday. I mean it is

America's national pastime. It's right up there with Fourth of July

It's right up there with Memorial Day in terms of what America is all about

I'm with you listen if they gave everyone off today

We'd still be working so wouldn't change anything for us, but I love it

I mean, I think everyone should be able to go watch their team play labor love us doing. Yeah, this is not work

We're on it. We're here at Citizens Bank Park at open day. It's a great day

I'm with you on that Aaron. It should be a national holiday. What do you think in here?

I would imagine that you know this is right up there with New Year's Day in terms of people calling in sick

I think that it's right it's right up there with

You know, it's gonna be a lot of fun had today and tomorrow's gonna be a rough day for a lot a lot of people

But hey, you as far as that insider to the year

I think spike was alluding that you had a real chance man

You had a real shot with your reckless speculation, but he accused you of becoming a company man

And you can't yeah, I heard the cloud the cloud chasing has gotten pretty bad in recent

And you know was funny and and it's weird that spike would say that because he was actually, you know

Leading the company at one time was literally literally

But there was a few times there where you kept doing the hey if you guys knew what I knew then oh man

It would be you know it that that's just kind of like I did if you guys

Housewives of Orange County type of stuff where you

Now I might have like there's been times where there's things that I know that I don't choose to share

But I don't never recall invoking that

And then once in a while you say something you're not supposed to share and that's how loose lips thuglis is born in the air

Well you that there was actually a moment where you were trying to drag Richie and Ike with you to down down that that rabbit hole

But you know anyways, let let's talk about you know the the future of the Philadelphia Philly's okay and

my

Bold prediction is that Bryce Harper is gonna hit less than 20 home runs

I think this pitching staff that we have is filled with nothing but rock stars so get ready for a lot of

Zero run games from the opponents get ready for a lot of zero run games from the Philly's and get ready for a few

You know 10 12 13 14 runs by the Philly's because all they're gonna try to do is hit home runs

Just like they have for years past, you know

I don't know what has happened to this Philadelphia fan base where the fans of you or held people accountable and

Called people out when they work

Come on man. Come on man. If we get the world baseball classic

Bryce Harper it is an all for not season. We're not winning 89 games

Okay, we're not doing anything in the playoffs because it's gonna be just more

Not holding a count like what do you some are not holding people accountable? Well, what does that mean?

Who are we not?

Thought your past

He didn't even play the season yet or he's got he's got clean or he's got this

He's all gonna be the same and

Disagree on the past Bryce Harper gets I think over the last year. It is shifted. It is shifted tremendously

The most important person on this team this year is gonna be done

Mattingery and if you can get it through the knuckleheads

Nick Skull to be patient to play small ball and let him know that it's not all about the home run every single time

Lunatic see the small ball is our way to win the championship. That's it. The world's here is gonna be one with small ball iron

Dude, you know, it is

How did the Dodgers beat us the Dodgers beat us because they became patient

They made our pictures pitch to them and they sat there and they waited and our

Better defense. Yeah, they did everything. They did all the little things better, right? I know I remember

Yeah, they did everything that the Phillies don't they did the small things that it took to win a world

Championship and hopefully the ingestion of Don Mattingery

Will start changing our philosophy in terms of hitting and and maybe we have a chance

Completed off time, but listen rice Harper has to change. He cannot swing continue to swing like he was in the world

Based on predicted less than 20 home run. I mean, is he heard half the season or is he just not good anymore?

Yes, man. Yes, that's not the order to hold up

All right, Aaron. What's your win total? What do you got? What's your win total? I got 89 wins, dude? All right 89 wins at Aaron and San Diego

So

What is there the holding people accountable thing?

They haven't played a game yet. What are we holding them accountable for?

I don't know. I mean, I think half

It feels like it's a discussion about most people this off season or if you a lot of people don't believe he's the lead anymore

I mean that feels like holding him accountable based on last year based on the last couple of years

He has a downward trajectory. We have these conversations

It's not like everyone just calls up. It says oh, he's still the best player in the game or he's still a top five player

I don't think most people believe that anymore. That feels like fair accountability. He's not as great as

No, it is it's I think I think he's talking about more the vitriol for him

I mean into Kyle's point we ain't playing no baseball games yet. Yeah, also

I mean, what why would we have vitriol for?

Well, that's that's what I don't get like you could have disappointment. You could have you could say maybe he's not living up to

Thing whatever. How are you want to frame it? But I don't know like where's the vitriol for?

It's it's the way people hear Joe like like I sit here and and you're not

Nobody's saying anything wrong. It's just the way that people hear it because

They feel like for Bryce Harper

The criticisms are different than in our for everybody. Do we still feel that way though?

I mean all the calls about Bryce Harper have been for for a while now. I think some people do have been about him

Whatever coming up short or you're not a winner or the nationals won the world's yours. We love like I think some people do

I think that some people feel

like

The accountability factor is different for him

Then it is safe for for the Eagles as a whole. I had a feeling I just kind of sense you were gonna use that analogy

It's an interesting one. Can can I give you where I come down on it? And I think this is the difference. Yeah

Let's just use Joe and her so it always comes back to Joe and hers right and they're both faces of the franchises right all back

I didn't want to do that because I know

Because I think you will you said it sounds different right the criticism or the conversation and it's decided and to be fair to you and Kyle

It's the same criticism

It's just the way that people hear but here for me

This is where I enter the conversation where we started or people bring it to us right that's what we do it's a talk show

If people talked about Bryce

Ridiculously the way they sometimes talk about jail and I'd have the same energy and let me get an example

When people say he he's he's the best or he's better than Josh Allen and Patrick Holmes

I say no that's silly if someone called our show and said Joe Bryce Harper's better than Aaron

Judge and show how tiny I'd say no he's not

That silly it's I think the conversation from the fan base is different. So maybe you hear the reaction different

I feel the exact same way about people are way more delusional about what hurts us and you do

But as you know a lot of times

We get lumped in there might be something that that a host has said

But we get lumped into to what everybody else is yeah, I just and that's that's kind of it because it goes back to people

Don't hear what's being said. Yeah, I don't even think Bryce is the best partner's on team

No, and you said that and this is the conversations that we've had over the last couple of weeks, but

again

Part of the problem is sometimes people don't hear everything that's being said and

You get lumped in everybody gets lumped into the same pot. I think the accountability's been there more for bright

I this offseason is sort of with the elite thing actually sort of fears ago with the contract stuff

I just to me the the tone of the Bryce conversation has changed from totally. Oh my god. We have Bryce Harper too

All right, come on man. Let's go now. Yeah, and that's fair because the problem is this hasn't broken through yet

Yeah, right and you know

It's start you can tell I can tell the least

That the act the gimmicks starting to wear a little thin like the the and I always talk about in joke about the starter pack

Uh, the the rivalry pack starter pack whatever you want to call the

All of that it's starting to wear a little thin

And the fact that and the joke that

He brought the pro price and protein pot. No, that one only you care about but I suggest he brought down it was like the banana flavor

Yeah, we haven't got one call about the protein potter. I need that I need that

No, I'm just saying I need to come that Bryce if you listen in I know you don't wait the ballpark dog

Drop the price of that snicker dude with all because we trying to try but it 60 bucks is a little too high. Who's we just you?

Well, I'm lumping Jordan to this

If you want to do it as a show

Smoothie in the morning. Yeah, I know this goes against radio room, but I'm trying to you know, I'm trying to get the plug

Yeah, he's trying to get free free protein pad. All right, two one five. That's enough two one five five

Two ninety four ninety four with totals bowl predictions

Are you excited for the season or are you one of those and we we have some of them out there

It's you know, it's okay. This is safe space. Are you awake me up in October fan? Yeah
