#204 - Zombie Phillies // Iggles 2026: Ring the Markel Bell
Folks - we had to turn right around and get you another HOT episode of HM this week. It seems like forever (about a month?) since we talked about the Phillies. They were left for dead (by Bob and Jeff) and then went on a 21-7 heater in August - which is really what we wanted to have happen when…

#190 - Kids, Check your Vitamins for PEDs // Sixers Lose by One Million Points
In this day and age, when you can google any darn thing, why in the WORLD would you or COULD you still test positive for PEDs? In BASEBALL fer chrissakes. The most steroid-y problematic league?!? Well whatever, Rojas. I guess it was sort of a good run with the Phillies. On Hoagie Mouth, we don't...
-
#189: Offseasons Were Made for Rumors // A Melange of Sixers Stew
We are still down TWO sports from actually playing real games. That means there's always time to get ourselves WORKED UP about all sorts of things. No actual baseball happening? Let's interview Bryce Harper and see what he's dissatisfied about today! Eagles OTA's still months away? Well, then…

Wild NOOZ day in Philly yesterdee! And we are frankly, just kinda stunned and saddened to learn that Jeff Stoutland has decided to leave his post as the OL coach for the Eagles. 13 years - and so many eras - each of which was marked with OL excellence for the Birds.

Proud to say it. Went round the horn on this one. Did ALL FOUR Philadelphia sports teams and we liked it. What kinda era are we in? Championship / near championship? Or just typical Philly "almost got there" sorta second/third place vibes? Gosh, I don't know the answer to these questions, but we...
-
#184 - Eagles Szn Cooked / Five Hundred Sixers Ball
Good lord, we hoped. We hoped that the Eagles would be able to get that ship RIGHTED. We thought, maybe, just MAYBE, Patullo would find his playoff legs and give us the Eagles offensive performance of our DREAMS...but as Meek Mill observed, that can soon be NIGHTMARES. Eagles, kaput, at the hands...

#179: Submarine Sandwiches, Oh Boy!
Look, it's been a rough couple of weeks for Philly sports ('ceptin the Flyers though!), so Jeff forgot that he MAY also host a SECRET OTHER podcast. With a similar name. We doubt it, because the full panel is IN with ENERGY this week. Eagles drama got you down? We have the holiday antidote to…

Cursing TWICE in the TITLE? It must be the EUPHORIA of winning the NL East Crown - a 2 year streak now - for your Philadelphia Phillies.
