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

This week on We’ll Get ’Em Next Year, it’s a deep dive into the Phillies’ offseason and what it means for their future. First, would Nick Castellanos care how you pronounce his last name? Probably not, but we dig into it anyway in true GENY style.

Then, JJ assures us he’s not on caffeine pills (this isn’t Saved by the Bell, after all), but this special episode is all about America’s pastime. We break down the Phillies’ lukewarm offseason and why that’s actually a good thing. Alec Bohm, once the team’s most tradable player, remains in red pinstripes—not because there wasn’t interest, but because the Phillies know his value as a top 10 third baseman in a thin market.

We praise the Trea Turner signing but ask the big question: is it time to move him out of shortstop with prospect Aidan Miller waiting in the wings? The bullpen gets a spotlight too, and we explain why Jesús Luzardo’s addition makes this rotation possibly the most dominant in baseball.

Looking ahead, we discuss what’s left for the offseason checklist: another bullpen arm, an outfielder not named Max Kepler, and how the team plans to stay competitive without dipping too far into luxury tax territory.

It’s not all about 2025, though. Contracts are expiring, and we speculate on who’s staying and who’s going. We also rank the Phillies’ top five prospects, predict the Opening Day lineup, and explore this team’s ceiling and floor for the upcoming season. Are they World Series contenders, or are there cracks in the foundation?

A baseball-heavy episode with plenty of hot stove talk, optimism, and a few laughs along the way. Don’t miss it!

What a night for Philly sports! In this episode, we break down the Eagles’ win against the Cowboys in what turned out to be the highest-scoring game of the year for the Birds. But wait, was JJ confused? He thought we were doing a Flyers Intermissions Live pod and went off about the state of Philly hockey before we reeled him back in.

For the first time ever, the pod goes four wide! JJ, Kev, Tyles, and Charley Lancaster are all on to unpack a game full of twists and turns. Is there a QB controversy brewing? Should we be worried about Jalen Hurts’ concussion, and does he suit up for the Giants in Week 18 if he clears protocols? And how do we feel about the likely Wild Card matchup: Eagles vs. Commanders Part III?

In a weekend of highs and lows, Green Bay’s loss officially killed any slim hopes of the #1 seed for Philly, and we debate whether 17-game records—like Saquon Barkley’s potential single-season rushing mark—should get an asterisk. Speaking of Saquon, the guys discuss his MVP-worthy season and whether he gets the carries to break Erik Dickerson’s record in Week 18.

And in classic We’ll Get ’Em Next Year style, we take plenty of detours. The crew covers everything from Christmas parties after Christmas to the Flyers’ latest (including a bizarre Buddy the Elf reference) to JJ’s love of the Philadelphia Waterdogs. Plus, game day Wiz Wits and Wiz Witouts, the worst announcers, and whether the Giants can screw up the draft order even more.

Finally, OJ Simpson somehow makes an appearance in the conversation—don’t ask.

This one’s packed, chaotic, and everything you’d expect from a post-game pod after Eagles vs. Cowboys. Don’t miss it!

This week on We’ll Get ’Em Next Year, Kev takes over hosting duties with JJ out, and he’s joined by Tyles and special guest Charley Lancaster for a packed episode full of Philly sports talk and some unexpected detours.

The crew dives into everything from Moana 2 speculation to Godzilla’s place in cinematic history before shifting gears to their UFC 310 predictions (recorded before the fights). Did they nail it or miss the mark?

In the Birds Check-In, the group breaks down their thoughts post-Ravens game, with one consensus: they’re all in on the Eagles’ postseason potential. A TikTok shoutout from a Lions fan sparks some conversation, and then it’s time to assemble The Avengers of Philly Athletes. Who makes the cut?

The Philly Phlashback segment highlights the most memorable moments from 2024 in Philly sports. To close things out, Charley hilariously revisits Wiz Wit without realizing Saquon Barkley had already been retired into the Hall of Fame. Barkley gets one last victory lap, securing another Wiz Wit honor.

It’s a fun, fast-paced episode that blends Philly sports analysis with offbeat banter and a healthy dose of chaos.

This week on We’ll Get ’Em Next Year, JJ and Kev break down the Eagles’ frustrating loss to the Commanders, snapping their impressive winning streak. With the #1 seed officially out of reach, the guys look hard at what went wrong and how the Birds can bounce back as the playoffs approach.

Jalen Hurts leaving the game with a concussion set off alarm bells across Philly, but JJ is here to ease concerns, explaining why this may not be the disaster some fear. The offense, while not perfect, wasn’t the main culprit in the loss, but Kev raises an intriguing worry: Is Jake Elliot becoming a quiet problem for the Eagles?

Later, Charley Lancaster jumps into the conversation to defend the defense, making his case against the criticism they’ve faced after the game. The crew also debates a few key “what if” moments, with DeVonta Smith taking center stage as the player whose performance might have turned the tide.

Finally, the team looks ahead, projecting how this loss impacts the Eagles’ postseason prospects and how the rest of the regular season might unfold. Can the Birds recover, or is this a sign of cracks in the foundation?

Tune in for raw reactions, insightful analysis, and plenty of fiery takes as the team navigates this pivotal moment in the Eagles’ season.

This week on We’ll Get ’Em Next Year, JJ is back (was he really. missing though?), and he and Kev hit the road! Recording from the car after the Flyers-Kings game, they break down the highs and lows of the night. From standout plays to missed opportunities, they offer their raw, unfiltered reactions to the Flyers’ performance.

Before diving into the recap, the guys give a shoutout to Nick, a fellow Philly fan they met at Adrian’s in the Wells Fargo Center. Then, things take a hilarious turn when Kev casually mentions soccer, sparking an all-out tirade from JJ. Let’s just say, it gets heated.

Then, it’s time for the Jersey Draft! The guys rank their top Philly sports uniforms from the Eagles’ Midnight Green to the Phillies’ City Connects. Tyles stirs the pot with a hot take on Kelly Green, while JJ fights for the classics. Kev? He’s just trying to land the 75th Anniversary Franklin Yellow Jackets.

In Hungry Dogs Run Faster, we dream up the perfect 3-course meal, followed by Philly sports holiday wishes to close out the year. And of course, Wiz Wit/Wiz Witout brings the heat as always.

Don’t miss this festive episode full of laughs, debates, and way too much Barkley talk!

We’re thrilled to welcome Charley Lancaster to his first-ever appearance on the pod for a fight night edition packed with all the chaos you’ve come to expect. JJ kicks things off by describing the aftermath of eating too many hot dogs on Dollar Dog Night (spoiler: it’s not great), and we unpack the Flyers’ defensive roller coaster (at the time of recording).

Charley dives into UFC 309 and the Paul/Tyson “boxing” match, while Kev shares his amazement at just how much there is to a UFC show with early prelims, prelims, and a main card. We also discuss dream matchups and compare safety protocols in combat sports versus wrestling. Somehow, Robin Williams, Chris Farley, and Prince join the conversation.

Plus, we debate cheese types on cheesesteaks, Thanksgiving football traditions, and the best dinner times. We wrap up with commentary on the Eagles’ defense and predictions for the Rams game (remember, we recorded this in the past).
