(00:00-59:14) On today’s John Kincade Show, John and Bob are back.  Connor is in for Pat on the board.  John opens talking about the Phillies win over the Padres last night.  The Phillies got out to a big lead, but the bullpen let the Padres get too close.  Five arms were used out of the bullpen.  Going into the postseason, the Phillies will need longer outings from the starters, so the bullpen isn’t so taxed. Bob and Conner give their thoughts before John talks Eagles football.  The season is finally here.  John talks about the Eagles starting on the road all three years under Nick Sirianni.  The guys react to what Rachel Nichols said about James Harden and whether he will show up.

(59:27-1:46:15) John talks about the Eagles week one opponent, the Patriots and how they aren’t the same team as they once were.  They don’t scare you like they used to.  In Cooney’s Column, Bob talks about the inconsistency of the Phillies, the crazy season Kyle Schwarber is having and how great the offense has been as of late. The guys get into a semi-heated discussion about the Phillies and how successful they can be in the playoffs.  John introduces a new segment.  It is a question of the day.  Connor wants everyone to take a deep breath when it comes to the Phillies pitching.  He shares some interesting numbers.

(1:46:28-2:35:05) The show needs to seat their jury for this upcoming season.  John, Bob and Connor make their cases for who they think should be on the jury. The guys talk about what it took for the Phillies to get into the playoffs last year.  Without a collapse by the Milwaukee Brewers, we might not be singing “Dancing On My Own” late into October.  In Cooney’s Corner, Bob talks about the career years by multiple Eagles last year.  Should we be worried it won’t be replicated?

(2:35:19-3:07:22) In Cooney’s Corner Bob talks about Christian Pache and Johan Rojas.  What will Rob Thomson do with them during the playoffs.  Who will play and when? Connor talks about the Eagles schedule and the fact that we will have the chance to watch more teams during the early slate because the Eagles have so many late games.  The guys end the show talking about the Phillies pitching staff.

(00:00-39:13) Pat, Connor, and Ray open the show talking about the Phillies.  They didn’t claim any of the many players that were put on waivers this week.  They ask the question whether they are good enough.  The conversation turned to the Braves and if they should fear them.  There are differing opinions with the guys.  The morning mindbender asks the question, what U.S. President was a licensed barber?  Listen for the answer or incorrect answer.  They turn the conversation to the Eagles.  What is most likely to happen from last years Eagles team and most unlikely to carry over?

(39:19-1:27:17)  The guys debate the satisfaction of winning a championship.  Pat says winning one championship shouldn’t be diminished if multiple championships do not follow.  Connor says you have to keep wanting more.  The Phillies start a series with the Brewers tonight.  They both have the same record.  Ray asks the guys whether we overrate the Phillies or underrate the Brewers.

(1:27:22-2:25:52) The conversation turns to the Eagles roster.  What positions are weakest?  Where might they have issues?  An interesting question is asked about the most clutch athlete in Philly history? Is it Bryce Harper, is it Nick Foles, is it somebody else? Ray talks about a Jonathan Gannon “hype” speech.  They also discussed who will have the better season as a rookie head coach, Jonathan Gannon or Shane Steichen.

(2:25:53-2:50:16) New Jersey native and stand-up comedian, impressionist and actor Aries Spears and comedian and podcast partner Andy Steinberg joins the show.  They are performing at the Helium Comedy Club in Philly this weekend.  They talk about careers, how they met, sports, their podcast, Andy’s hate for his native Arizona and a ton more!

(2:50:30-3:13:07) The guys talk about the difference between the Eagles and Patriots leading into their week one matchup.  These aren’t your Dad’s Patriots. The Birds are a level way ahead of the Patriots.  Pat thinks the Eagles will roll and blow out the Patriots.  Connor believes the Eagles will win but it will be close.  Ray asks Pat and Connor what are the rules for rooting for your non-alma mater’s football team.

(00:00-38:47) Pat, Connor and Ray start the show off recapping yesterday’s 10-8 loss to the Angels.  Bryce Harper hit his 300th Home Run to put the Phillies up by a run in the 8th inning but Craig Kimbrel couldn’t hold the lead.  The guys get into a discussion on the importance of team chemistry. 

(38:52-1:18:20) The conversation turns to players that were recently put on waivers and whether any of them would be worth grabbing for the Phillies and who would they replace on the current roster.  Ray asked a question that received different answers.  What is the game the Eagles are most likely to lose before bye week?

(1:18:21-2:00:14) Where does Bryce Harper rank as far as all-time Phillies?  This sparked an interesting conversation comparing Mike Schmidt and Bryce Harper.
