What's this?  Another HOAGIE MOUTH?  The same night you drop the main pod?  DO TELL!  Yes, it's true.  We simply could not wait to give you the hot takes on the breaking news that Carson Wentz is being shipped to the Colts, for a 2nd rounder this year and a conditional 3rd rounder next year.  We do take a moment to reflect on some great Carson moments, but the fact is, this marriage was headed for a divorce.  So with that - TAKE OUR TAKES.....Email:  [email protected]   Twitter:  @hoagiemouthpod

Hey ho let's go Hoagie Mouth Nation...we are riled up and ready to talk Philly sports.  First up, the Sixers and their not-so-swell West Coast trip.  It's been a losing effort, but Mike points out the brilliance of Ben and has cause for optimism.  Bob and Jeff soak it in, and agree that Ben will get more triple doubles than Oscar Robertson.  Or maybe not, but it'll be CLOSE!  Then we check in briefly on the non-trade of Carson Wentz (more on that in the NEXT E-POD DROPPING TONIGHT!!) and generally ponder what's next for the Eagles.  The Flyers are still down to Covid, but are back in it tonight against the Rangers (L, 2-3 happened after this was recorded).  And then we tease the MLB preview - becoming a yearly tradition where we bring on some Mets fans to gloat about their team's chances.  WE SHALL SEE, MR. OR MRS. MET!  Email:  [email protected]  Twitter:  @hoagiemouthpod

Hoagie Mouthers, this is a DEEP CUT in terms of the title of this episode.  Please google those terms and something will reveal itself.  BUT for now - we dive into the NON-NEWS of the Eagles.  Swear to god, I was gearing up for the BUH BYE CORSON 'cast this week, but so far, no movement on the Ginger Jesus.  We'll see - listen, we're open to a redemption tour and we KEEP him, but Howie does strange things.  Up next - the PHILLIES as we fantasize about balls hitting leather.  Read into that what you will.  And we officially signed Didi.  Thank gawd.  Then it's the Flyers - currently on a COVID break due to a breakout on the team.  And Jeff fails to count Bruins losses correctly.  BUT he correctly counts the 3 hat tricks we have already!!!  Lastly - the Sixers and our Embiid worship continues.  Matisse is dialed in.  We rule the East.  For how long?  Only Fredo knows.  Email:  [email protected]   Twitter:  @hoagiemouthpod

Happy Hoagie Mouth to all - thanks for joining Jeff and the Mike / Bob Long combo for yet another scintillating episode of the pod.  We go through ALL FOUR of the sporting teams in Philly this week...starting with the solid performance of the Sixers.  Who are clearly feeling themselves now that they've won a game without Embiid.  It's awesome to see - but let's string a few of those together eh?  Tobi, Matisse, Tyrese, FURK!  Up next we get excited about the recent Flyer success...with a hat trick and better goalie play (recorded BEFORE yesterday's collapse against Boston...).  Is it sustainable?  What is a two way player?  How much does Sean Couturier weigh?  We tease the new PHILLIES season, as the team is reunited with JT and Didi, and we woo hoo to that.  And apparently the Eagles are trudging their way through an off season.  I flip flop daily on whether they're keeping Carson.  STAY TUNED for more TAKES.  Email:  [email protected]  Twitter:  @hoagiemouthpod

Ladies and gents of Hoagie Mouth Nation - the guests are coming in STRONG for 2021!  We welcome the honorable - and reigning Hoagie Mouth Mail Bagger of the Year (HMMBOY) - Tim Ferrell.  Tim regales the full HM panel for a walk down Philly sports memory lane - the 1980 NFC Championship Game, Bobby Clarke, and Sambuca smuggling.  We thankfully also spend time on HOCKEY and the Flyers - live look ins at the 5-3 win against the Devils included!  Plus - the OG crew dissects the recent re-signing of JT Realmuto (say it in Spanish), and what that means for the new Phillies brass's efforts to round out the pitching squad.  Spoiler - PLEASE round out the pitching squad.  And Mike Long squeezes in some Sixers.  Email:  [email protected]  Twitter:  @hoagiemouthpod

Hey Hoagie Mouthers, thank you for a solid 70 episodes of devotion to our cause.  We dive into the newest happenings in Philly sports...well, at least as current as Thursday of last week.  AT THAT POINT, the Eagles had made their Head Coaching move, and hired Nick Sirianni to follow up Dougie P as "lead visor wearer".  Wishing Nick the best of luck, but hoping that it was the right call.  The Sixers have continued to dominate, and thankfully that's against the Boston Celtics (the two game stand was swept by the Sixers as of last night).  Joel's conditioning and fluidity?  SOLID.  And then onto the Flyers - whose strong start has been tempered by a few blowout losses (including last night's 6-1 drubbing at the hands of the Bruins).  We do a live look in on the first of the two Bruins game (L, 5-4 shootout), and talk about a "hockey points fixing scheme" that woulda been great in the 1930s.  With Joe Pesci involved somehow.  Email:  [email protected]   Twitter:  @hoagiemouthpod

Ladies and gents, we are giving you BONUS content - where the boys break down the latest on Dougie's departure from the Eagles, the Sixers navigating Adam Silver's consternation, and the supremacy (i'm stealing that word back) of the Philadelphia Flyers Hockey Team.  We are SO thrilled to have avoided James Harden's pricetag - but how will that translate to Eastern Conference dominance for the Sixers?  Cuz Harden is on the NETS NOW.  We shall see - can't wait for the matchup.  But starting it off tonight - we take apart the Eagles coaching moves, and what it means for the next "administration" that take's Doug's seat at Head Coach.  Duce?  Eric?  Jeff Fisher?  Lastly - the Flyers are off to a scorching start, and we try not to get too excited.  Except Jeff is way too excited.  Email:  [email protected]   Twitter:  @hoagiemouthpod

Hoagie Mouth team ASSEMBLE...for 2021!  Per our intro, this was recorded before the events in Washington DC on January 6, 2021.  We'll touch on that in later episodes.  For NOW - we got to go deep on the Sixers, and their impressive start.  Maxey is becoming KEY (he just scored 39 points in a game), as well as Seth "Mild" Curry (get better soon Seth!).  Tobias Harris?  Not only is he a swell fella, he's also the most improved Sixer so far this year.  Next up - the inevitable recap of the sorry finish to the Eagles season.  The pearl clutching over "TANKING" drives your host crazy, but we dig into the controversy and assess where to go from here.  Doug is still the coach.  Carson is still on the team.  Howie is still GM.  Hmmm.  NEXT WEEK it's an incredibly special episode - our first celebrity guest is Greg Proops from Whose Line is it Anyway, his podcast The Smartest Man in the World, and countless standup gigs around the world.  Greg is a baseball rain man, get ready.  Email:  [email protected]   Twitter:  @hoagiemouthpod

HAPPY NEW YEAR folks and YES for many, many, several, a variety, a plethora of reasons...we are happy to see 2020 in the rear view mirror.  We focus our gaze on the Eagles - and their elimination from playoff contention in week 16.  Amazed it took this long!  We break down the position groups and ask, as the Clash famously did - "Should I Stay or Should I Go?".  We lament the current state but remain hopeful on the future - plenty to build on, but some big, immediate gaps to fill.  Next up - the SIXERS are 3-1 (at the time of the recording - now 4-1 and playing right now!) and we look at the keys to their early success.  DUH it's because of clear and unambiguous MVP Joel Embiid!!  We know it's more than that, but it's fun to say.  Next week!  We get into FLYERS country, the NHL season is about to kick off!!  We're gonna win it all.  Book it.   Email:  [email protected]   Twitter:  @hoagiemouthpod
