And Flyers obviously will get into them more. Look, lots to do with you on the phone lines. 215, 592, 9490 for Rich Rich. Hello. Hello there, Johnny. Good morning. Back in mid-evil times between the 13th and 17th century. That's when someone went mid-evil. In the era. Yes, they did. They're going mid-evil. But animals were commonly put on trial. Animals were commonly persecuted for crimes ranging from murder to property damage. Odd. We're talking pigs, rats, horses, insects. We're put on trial.

3:03And these trials were taken seriously. These legal proceedings were taken very seriously. We, we, we, we, we, we, probably, with animals were provided with lawyers. They were held in jails. My dog would be like a lawyer. I should have just killed them. Shoot a few. We'll just kill them. Well, that sounds like a hell. The way people being like my dog ate my homework, except my dog killed my wife in this case. Wait, wait, wait, wait, why don't you put a pig on trial, just kill it? Well, they were subjected to public executions. Sure. They were hung or burned or even excommunicated. xcommunicated they would dress a pig up like a human to hang it okay that's sick that's a little it really is crazy good morning boys and girls how's everybody doing i said you want to get more ninja like that uh... yeah you want to come in a poll george and geowell please do that was that was really impressive last night and frankly shocking i mean i wasn't shocked to see geowell play well i was shocked shot it's exactly what i need to see from paul george it doesn't mean that i think like everything solved and everything's good to go but

4:07that is what i need you know they got a shot and joelle was shot to what a shot to make the playoffs show you have a shot to make a run in the play oh stop they do you think there be a lot like they did last night i don't know that's different though i didn't say to win the title i didn't say that chance but to make a run i think they've shot for them they will run up and out of the corner you're right they can do something surprise i mean i think you look at it i don't think they can win all the way all but they're kind of fun to watch i think so they got to get maxi back but put any way okay and all george played defense last night by the way paul george did the stuff that isn't fun and he also excelled offensively and joelle man joelle dove on the ground one at one point with that i was a little concerned you know we talked about that it is you gonna be smart you know like he was at the beginning of the season when he didn't even dunk for the first two months last night he was not smart he did not protect his body but his body looked

5:08sprightly yeah pretty good he did good all right let's get to the fills you can you can wait on the Eagles it should have been the six years to what happened last night two one five five nine two ninety four ninety four is obviously a good step two good steps if you will but lot lot more they got to do all right fills got opening day to day so majorly baseball started last night get that one game but today's you know the traditional opening day in baseball it's a beautiful day it's great to be a chickies and peets we're often here on opening day and we are today you know home opener type and we are today chickies and peas and self-filled off you show brought to you by bud wiser game days are always better with ice cold bud wiser and crab fries from chickies and peets please come on out any time today obviously leading up to the game during the game if you're inclined i know a lot of people will be at the game but if you want to watch the game here you certainly can and post game obviously a lot of activity you guys know the jail chickies and peets out fill a great spot around the sports complex to one five five nine two ninety four ninety four so let's get to it combination of excitement level how you feel what you're thinking you know what gives you optimism what

6:10concern you look i think you know people have this thing sized up in a way that it's not exactly to be let's say breaking news today i think most people know outstanding starting rotation you know like really outstanding i think most people know you know top three part of the bad in order really good although you want to see them be better at times i don't mean shorber shorber's done his job but we'll see price be better i like to see trade turner more power but you know the issue is really four through nine in the bad in order you know you know the bullpats pretty good i'm having some power well i don't expect it so so there's like parts of the team are you expect tray well no no i'm just saying i'd like to say it but let's get into it today two one five five nine two ninety four ninety four big picture this thing small picture whatever you want to do i'll start with this i am very excited and let me give you i know a lot of people should be yeah well i think so i know we all should be well that god yeah this is holy okay we have the fifth or six best odds to win the the whole the whole thing and i know that we get down on our team and we get frustrated and we think

7:13back to all the ways we fell short in the past but this is a we have a legitimate shot to go take what we want this season with a bunch of guys who have been to the highest level and they know sort of what to expect when they get there we we know that twenty twenty two we went and we i thought after that second game we're gonna was it the third day up to one after the third game i thought for sure we're gonna win the whole world series and then pitching is what took over this philly's team has the most airtight pitching i can remember we're talking about the starting rotation with zack wheeler coming back way ahead of schedule andrew painter finally coming up luzardo is signed sanchez is signed the bullpen that they fleshed out is as exciting as i mean far more exciting than any we've ever seen any that i have ever seen while we've done this show

8:15this bullpen with with more specific assignments guys who know exactly where they're going to be you know taking part in how they're needed to help the philly's we've got so much talent we've got yes and other teams due to those teams get banged up we're tough minded can they hang through the 162 like i've seen our team do we were excellent last season regular season wise just add that to the uh experience list this team continues to grow and get better when they win when they lose when they take the field when they don't there are group of guys their vets they've been around the block many many times and they're sick of waiting to go win this world title they believe more than anyone i we stood to because they've got a great chance to

9:16go do this thing again fifth or six best odds to win the world series and that's that's before the whole thing starts injuries happen crazy situations happen we know david and broski will continue to be aggressive we know bris harper has one thing left to do he's got a space on his mantle in the shape of the world series trophy that's what he's playing for this team has a very concrete and specific plan in goal in mind for 2026 let's see him do i don't doubt that they have a chance to do this tonight by the way the the Las Vegas the meadows the meadows the two guys from the meadows are going to lead the way for us all right it's brice and it's the all star yeah brison stop brison stop not yet surprise let me let me jump let me jump in here and say this um ladies and gentlemen while it was not quite a well William Wallace speech it was good speech by done it also is the exact same speech he might have given 365 days ago

10:19so we all recognize that they haven't pushed the boulder over the mountaintop and by the way they've gotten further in the playoffs away the last two years okay so it's ironic in 22 and 23 i believe they were not as good a team as 24 and 25 i believe that and the regular season record would speak to that i think the study pitching got stronger and stronger brice got weaker shorber got better um you know some guys in and out you guys know the drill i think boom and start have been pretty similar but the reality is they have been an excellent regular season team and a massive playoff disappointment the last two years so what does it all mean here's what it means for me i will agree with you on a million percent they absolutely have a shot to win the world series make us proud give us a good regular i mean at the very least i do expect a really good regular season i know what people talk about rob Thompson on the hot seat to me that's more after october one way or the other because i don't think they're going to be bad enough that like once your artist team started out 22 and 29 that one year

11:20and he got canned and he deserved to get canned to me that is so far beyond my mind because i don't think this team's going to go 22 and 29 i think they're too good for that so i think it's going to be a lot of fun obviously boys and girls shelter don't hit the breaking new center they got to play better in october i'm Brian i work at you not health care so Brian why do you care i care because i don't want to leave anybody behind i oversee one of the biggest resource center in you're not health care i see people walked in my office every day just like my parents they have no idea about the health care i feel like they're my uncles aunties i treat it's people my family i'm Brian and i'm committed to care did you know that you can buy your car completely online on auto trader really just visit autotrader.com filter and search through dealer listings for the car you want make model color and all the features that matter to you go ahead get picky whether you're into subcompacts with heated cup holders

13:27let me tell you part of why i'm going to enjoy let me tell you let me tell you a couple of things about what they walk out there with today that you you might know about but you might not have tied it together like this fillys walk out there today it's going to be opening ceremony season to hold deal they're going to have the reigning nationally bad in champion they're going to have the reigning nationally home run champion they're going to have the reigning picture that finished second in the saw young award and those players aren't even named Bryce Harper and Zach Wheeler who could still be their two best players i don't know that they are but they certainly could be they got a lot they got a closer an opening day for the first time in over a decade like really legit i don't mean like heck their narrative 2018 it's not the best but he's amongst the best come on so they got a legitimate they get an out three or four yeah they got enough standing closer by the way i haven't even gotten a lasardo who who should be really really good and they also there's intrigue with some of the young or new guys i think the three most intriguing fills for me and i'm

14:27guessing this resonates with others are are Crawford Garcia don't don't get it twisted grocery scares the hell out of me because he might stink not defense but he's not defensive but he isn't intriguing okay guys got muscles coming out his body like that incredible Hulk he's got muscles on top of his muscle he's gonna hit a lot of home runs he's gonna throw guys out from right feel and he might have a low baton now is he gonna hit a lot of home runs yeah even in his down years he has what's a lot oh i'd be shot if he plays enough he should definitely have 25 if he plays enough and then obviously and then obviously painter like i'm very intrigued and excited for this team in this season it's also in a competitive national league east which is a challenge but also fun i mean it's fun when like when the when the when the Eagles and the cowboys are good at the same time like that's fun you don't you don't root for the cowboys to be good but you do enjoy when it's a battle like this gonna be a good battle fillies met's braves probably probably ranked fillies met's braves yeah i'd actually say met's fillies braves for what it's worth yeah yeah i think they're

15:33wrong so look your chance to weigh in with your excitement level john james what is top of mine for you and again everyone two one five five nine two ninety four ninety four top of you this morning james as you as we all embark on a new season what are you thinking yeah i'm obviously thrilled i woke up this morning with a pep in my step it's opening day it's the best i wish or like when we were kids Joe and every team were playing today i hate that but at least the fillies are playing i can't wait i woke up excited to see Justin Crawford play today you know that that's something new and exciting and i'm just excited about the chance like i know that i still feel the way i feel about the offseason but i could separate a a offseason i'm disappointed with with a season they have a real chance to win the world series in you know so i'm i'm thrilled i can't wait for real to be back i just want to see Sanchez pitch today i'm i'm freaking ready like let's go good rea the um immense frustration you expressed that many expressed you know it's called november uh october 15th through what for me i felt like i threw about a couple weeks ago how do you feel now

16:37in related in relation to all that in relation to the team today well i always love opening day even when the fillies sucked i mean opening day is just a fun day it's one of the few days i get down here several hours before game time just because i love the opening day sir i love all that kind of stuff i don't like the i was looking at it was really weird so there are eleven newcomers but eight of them are bench players and in the bullpen so you know it's been my big concern but you've got the biggest change in the outfield i'm really curious about the outfield as james mentioned just and crawford because you would ask me last year before last season why the fillies wouldn't win the world series and my biggest concern was the outfield and it's a huge question we called it still is yeah well Garcia i think you know obviously will be better defensively than castianos but we don't know about just and crawford um it's it's a position that he's learning and so i'm a little concerned but i i want to see him on base him on base could just be so much fun to watch with him in trade yeah so i have a lot of excitement about that and the pitching staff

17:39is going to be great but i i'm opening day is always a fun day i love it so look two one five five nine two nine four nine four your chance to win we broadcast from chickies and pizza hope you stop by at any point today especially if you're coming down for the game and do you have a feeling brace feels like he wants to put on a show today yeah but i think you always does it no he always does but first time back and considering the offseason i know i i just i don't know i just have a feeling now look it's it's a big year for him i'm brion i work at you not health care so brion why do you care i care because i don't want to leave anybody behind i oversee one of the biggest resource center in you're not a health care i see people walked in my office every day just like my parents they have no idea about the health care i feel like they're my uncles aunties i treat as people life family i'm brion and i'm committed to care did you know that you can buy your car completely online on auto trader really just visit auto trader dot com filter and search through dealer listings for the car you want make model color and
