Screw Romaboos, Justinian was a bastard.
The jets and the lions have the best fans
Age age age
I loved this episode
Joe I will bet the bar you got robbed at was Cutch Cargo's. That place was a shit show.
Get party van-ed for your country
Alright Joe, you can have my bones, but only on the condition that if you lose my bones then I get your bones. Deal?
Hey, hey, hey, Camel Crushes were okay. Better than American Spirits Menthols.
"Oh, I'm sorry, was there some *sportsball* happening?"- Belisarius, drenched in blood.
As I vermonter. Yes we are all freaks. Thank you 馃槉 馃挀
Your teams have delusional fans? That's cute. Signed, a Toronto Maple Leafs fan
Going to make a 10 part series about the Leafs epic battle against the first round of the playoffs
Philly fans suck. Great episode guys
Give Liam the password Joe. He is already a co-host
Love the hockey talk.Sorry for the loss Liam
as a blazers fan, 2004 doesn't seem to long ago.... :(
Liam can fuck himself, bragging like the Bruins weren鈥檛 gifted a cup from a player on their teams daddy.
Legitimately my favorite event in history, extremely happy to see you covering this.
Top notch banter at the beginning here.
legit Joe giggle at Liam's genocide question
Best part about the Philly horse shit video is when he flips his scarf back so it doesn't get dirty.
It was Clutch Cargo wasn't it?
Joe and Liam should do a live show in Philly, just get it over with already.
One day the SJ sharks will get a cup, then you'll be sorry
lol lmao
