Get 'Em Next Year: The Heart & Soul of Philly Sports

JJ and Kev drop in for an emergency pod that breaks down a massive Flyers trade. JJ takes the lead, explaining the Flyers’ decision to send Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee to Calgary in exchange for Andrei Kuzmenko, Jakob Pelletier, a 2025 second-round pick, and a 2028 seventh-rounder. As the resident hockey expert, JJ provides the full context behind the move and what it means for the Flyers' future.

Meanwhile, Kev, the hockey novice, plays the role of the GENY everyman, asking the questions casual fans might have to help break it all down. Throughout the episode, the duo dives into the growing presence of Russian players on the Flyers’ roster, leading JJ to joke that Ed Snider must be rolling in his grave. With Michkov in the pipeline and now Kuzmenko joining the team, the organization is leaning heavily into a Russian influence, something that would have been unthinkable years ago.

JJ believes these trades are setting up bigger moves for the future, possibly positioning the Flyers for something even bigger down the line. Meanwhile, Kev is absolutely flabbergasted by the Russian military’s involvement in these transactions, which led to a discussion on the complexities of international player transfers. The drama doesn’t stop there, as a heated exchange broke out between Matvei Michkov and Flyers coach John Tortorella at last night's game.

To wrap it up, the guys discuss what the Flyers need to do to make these moves work. Is this the start of a long-term rebuild, or could the Flyers find themselves contending sooner than expected? JJ lays out the possibilities, while Kev keeps the perspective of the casual Philly sports fan trying to make sense of it all.

It’s a rapid-fire, can’t-miss episode for Flyers fans trying to process all the madness.

The Get ’Em Next Year crew is back, and it’s a big episode. The Eagles are Super Bowl-bound, the Royal Rumble is upon us, and it’s time to talk gambling.

Right out of the gate, JJ accuses Tyles and Kev of deliberately scheduling the podcast during a Flyers game (again). But before his frustration can spiral, Tyles introduces the Monkey Paw of JJ’s life, and somehow, JJ admits that he’s on board with John Tortorella.

Then, it’s THE GAMBLING EPISODE. A listener mailbag question starts deep-diving into player props, novelty bets, and the wagers the crew loves. JJ, our resident degenerate, starts rattling off odds from memory, proving once again that he may need an intervention. But we have rules here: no dollar amounts, and no unit shaming.

From there, the conversation turns to Super Bowl MVP odds before the crew gives their final picks before shifting gears into the next big event of the weekend—the Royal Rumble.

A new voice joins the show, Chris—a former Philly native and friend of Kev—who brings legit wrestling knowledge to the table. With the Royal Rumble Snake Draft–and the GENY World Championship–on the line, Tyles drafts with his heart, Kev ignores logic for the joke, JJ takes the obvious choice, and Charley Lancaster’s absence leads to the most important moment of all… THE WHEEL (cue the Toy Story alien voice).

Chris, drafting on the snake, makes strategic and emotional picks, and even drops some knowledge about the significance of entries 3 and 23. The crew discusses performers derailed by injury, somehow ends up talking about Bubba the Love Sponge, and throws out potential Men’s and Women’s Royal Rumble winners.

The wrestling talk isn’t done yet—what non-Rumble match are we most looking forward to? Plus, a very important discussion about cheesesteaks and pizza in Alabama (seriously, what’s the situation down there?).

Finally, it all comes back to the Super Bowl—with our latest gut check on the score prediction as we head into the biggest game of the year.

This week on Get ’Em Next Year, the crew reacts to the Eagles’ NFC Championship victory over the Commanders and looks ahead to the Super Bowl rematch against the Chiefs. Kev was uncharacteristically calm throughout the game, though a coworker nearly flipped him at one point. Meanwhile, Tyles and JJ go back and forth on Jalen Hurts’ performance, debating whether he played well or if he is simply the best game manager in NFL history. In the end, they agree that whatever Hurts is doing, it is working, and it is good enough for this season.

Charley Lancaster joins the show from the K Lot, sounding every bit like someone who has had a long day of celebrating. JJ grills him on the energy at the tailgate and inside the stadium. The crew also discusses whether Chiefs vs Eagles is the Super Bowl matchup they wanted and what the Vegas odds are saying about the rematch.

Brandon Graham is officially coming off IR, giving the Eagles another boost heading into the Super Bowl. Lancaster somehow missed Jake Elliott’s missed field goal, leading to a discussion on whether it is a violation to overlook such a moment in an NFC Championship game. JJ shows off the GENY World Championship, and Tyles lays out his latest referee conspiracy theory. The crew wraps up by speculating on how many points Jake Elliott will be responsible for in the Super Bowl.

With one game left to decide it all, Get ’Em Next Year is locked in for the final stretch of the season. Listen now on your favorite podcast platform.

This week on Get ’Em Next Year, chaos reigns as JJ spirals over the Flyers, time itself comes under scrutiny, and the crew tackles another epic Philly sports snake draft.

JJ is losing his mind over the Flyers (again), and we debate the very nature of time—whether it’s a construct, a flat circle, or if Tony Stark really did invent time travel in 90 seconds. Meanwhile, Tyles’ deal with Hasbro is officially in the trash, and somehow, Nick Jr. is involved.

In Eagles news, Ian Book is officially gone, but the real question is: can we get him on the podcast? If not, maybe we aim higher—Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, perhaps? The crew also gives a big shoutout to everyone they met during the Week 18 outing, including Chickie’s & Pete’s and the Linc.

Then, it’s time for another draft, and this one is legendary. The GENY crew builds their ultimate Philly Sports Legends rosters, covering everything from Eagles offense and defense to Phillies pitchers and batters, Flyers forwards and goalies, and Sixers front and back courts. Tyles tries to throw a curveball with Andre Blake, Kev strategically messes with JJ by going back-to-back Flyers, and Charley Lancaster makes it clear he has beef with Mike Schmidt.

Other discussions include:

• The Phillies Hall of Fame criteria and the inevitable Curt Schilling debate
• Kev floundering with his Sixers pick
• Disney Channel vs. Fox Animation
• And, the age-old question: Are two cheesesteaks in one day too much?

Time may be wibbly-wobbly, but this episode is an instant classic. Tune in now on your favorite podcast platform!

This week on Get ’Em Next Year, it’s a special episode—our first-ever in-person recording! JJ, Kev, and Tyles sit down together (finally) to break down a tense Eagles victory that shouldn’t have been so close, but hey, this is Philadelphia, where nothing comes easy.

The show kicks off with JJ laying down some ground rules: Remember... Saquon Barkley is in the Wiz Wit Hall of Fame and is officially ineligible for Wiz Wit (because, let’s be real, he’d win every week). For the first time, much to Kev’s dismay, Jake Elliott is ineligible for Wiz Witout.

Before diving into the game recap, the crew takes a quick detour into Kansas City talk (because Patrick Mahomes just won’t go away) and even asks the unthinkable: Is Troy Aikman… our friend now?

The Eagles' win over the Rams gets a full breakdown, from Jalen Hurts grinding through another playoff battle to concerns about yet another potential offensive coordinator change if Kellen Moore moves on after this season.

Looking ahead, it’s Eagles vs. Commanders in the NFC Championship—the Eagles’ eighth conference championship appearance since 2000, the most of any NFC team. But if a magical being gave us the power to watch the game anywhere in the world, where would we go?

Wiz Wit and Wiz Witout bring some surprises: Tyles steals Kev’s pick with Jalen Carter, while Kev delivers a truly unexpected Wiz Witout—snow (yes, snow).

And of course, we have to talk about these Saquon moments: Saquon Barkley taunting Jared Verse heading into the endzone and then, before breaking off a monster touchdown run, looking over at Jalen Hurts and saying, “Watch this.”

This week on Get ’Em Next Year, JJ launches into yet another rant about the Flyers playing during podcast recording—seriously, it’s like they do this on purpose.

From there, the crew dives into the ongoing drama surrounding the new Sixers arena, exploring the controversy and the conspiracy theories surrounding the project. Are the concerns legitimate, or is this just standard Philly sports chaos?

Next up, it’s a trip down memory lane as each host shares the first sports moment that hooked them for life. From childhood games to heartbreaking losses, the nostalgia runs deep.

Then, it’s time for a massive sports weekend preview. UFC 311 is around the corner, and with that comes the GENY World Championship—where the guys make their picks and battle for betting supremacy. Plus, a deep dive into the Eagles vs. Rams, where six points favor the Birds. Most analysts think it’s just a matter of how much the Eagles win by, and Tyles and Charley are fully on board with that logic. But is Jalen Hurts good enough to get them through?

In a new twist, the crew throws out pre-emptive Wiz Wit and Wiz Witouts for Eagles vs. Rams—bold predictions on who’s getting the praise and who’s taking the heat before kickoff even happens.

JJ’s Gambling Corner makes its return, with some betting advice you probably should listen to (or maybe avoid, depending on how much risk you like). And to wrap things up, the crew shares their weekend plans—which may or may not involve tracking down the last surviving Bennigan’s locations.

From Sixers drama to Eagles hype, with a detour into childhood sports memories, this episode has it all. Tune in now on your favorite podcast platform!

This week on Get ’Em Next Year, the crew dives deep into the Eagles’ hard-fought Wild Card win over the Green Bay Packers. It’s a game full of ups, downs, and plenty to analyze as the Birds move on to the Divisional Round.

The show kicks off with JJ criticizing Jalen Hurts for his shaky performance, calling it one of Hurts’ worst outings to date. Tyles balances things out, pointing to silver linings while acknowledging the game wasn’t Hurts’ finest hour. Together, they unpack the key moments and biggest takeaways, from Jake Elliott’s missed extra point to the questionable offensive playcalling.

With the victory secured, the crew tackles the big questions: What does this game mean for the Eagles’ chances of making it to the NFC Championship? Who do they want to face in the Divisional Round, and how confident are they against potential opponents?

Kev steps in with three memorable Wiz Wits from the game, but the crew doesn’t shy away from dishing out Wiz Witouts either—especially when it comes to Elliott’s struggles.

As always, Get ’Em Next Year brings the laughs with unexpected detours. This week features not one but two Marvel Cinematic Universe Infinity Saga references, debates about whether the Skywalkers are mass murderers, and even a discussion on whether droids have souls

This week on Get ’Em Next Year, it’s our longest episode yet, packed with all things Philly sports and plenty of surprises. From hypothetical GM moves to a deep dive into the most hated players in sports, this flagship episode has it all.

The show kicks off with JJ’s frustration about recording during a Flyers game. As expected, this leads to a spiral later in the episode as the game unfolds in real-time. But before that, the crew breaks down the Eagles’ Pro Bowl selections for the 2024/2025 season and debates which moments in Philly sports history they would change—and how those changes could have shaped the city’s sports landscape today.

Next, the Get ’Em Next Year team puts on their GM hats and takes control of Philly’s beloved teams. Tyles maps out his vision for the Union and Sixers, Charley Lancaster has moves for the Eagles, Kev crafts a Phillies blueprint, and JJ outlines a 24-point plan for the Flyers. Naturally, chaos ensues.

Speaking of chaos, the crew ranks their most hated players in sports history. Kev opts for entire teams instead, while JJ’s #1 pick sends the conversation completely off the rails.

This week on Get ’Em Next Year, the crew breaks down the Eagles’ final regular-season game against the Giants and dives headfirst into playoff mode.

The game itself? The Eagles wrapped up the season with a win, and we debate if there’s reason to be worried about Jake Elliott’s recent performances. On a brighter note, Dallas Goedert is officially back and looking like his old self—just in time for the playoffs.

Looking ahead, the Eagles are set to face the Packers in the Wild Card Round, and the crew previews the matchup. But it’s not all Birds talk—what other playoff games are catching our attention this weekend?

Of course, no episode would be complete without some chaos, and this week’s Cheesesteak Draft delivers. This draft has everything from Kev’s controversial steak-eating habits to Tyles’ shocking confession (he’s never seen Die Hard). Does Angelo’s win, or could they somehow lose by disqualification? Plus, Charley and Kev wax nostalgic about cable-ripping boxes that only they seem to remember, and we finally learn Kev has just seen Rocky for the first time.

This week on We’ll Get ’Em Next Year, we’re embracing the new year with a mix of holiday reflections, Philly sports highlights, and some resolutions that may or may not stick.

The holidays brought their usual chaos, with family gatherings, last-minute gift wrapping, and debates over Christmas classics like Die Hard. Kev and Charley catch JJ off guard by naming the same holiday indulgence as both useless and delightful, while Kev doubles down on his kinetic sand hatred—seriously, he says it’s worse than slime.

We take a moment to reflect on the Philly sports moment that hit us hardest in 2024 before diving into our resolutions for the year ahead. From exploring Old City’s historic haunts to committing to more mid-day Phillies games and Union matches, we’re setting personal goals alongside lofty hopes for our favorite teams. Will the Flyers make a blockbuster move? Can the Phillies find consistency? And what will it take to lock Zach Baun into a long-term deal?

In true GENY fashion, the show takes a few unexpected turns. We pitch a potential We’ll Get ’Em Next Year pub crawl, tease our upcoming YouTube series The 215 Definitive: Cheesesteak Edition, and derail into a discussion about deep-sea fishing and Jaws.
