Ladies and gentlemen - Mike L and Jeff do the UNTHINKABLE and record solo segments for the very first time in the history of Hoagie Mouth.  We couldn't quite make the schedule work to all get together at the same time this week, but we simply COULD NOT let our takes, updates, and well reasoned commentary slide.  So with that, Jeff leads up with a recap of the - let's not kid ourselves - substantial moves by the Flyers over the last 10 days.  A revamped defense, a sniper at forward, and no more Ghostybear or Jake.  Did the front office rally around a final push for the Cup, led by Claude?  (YES).  Then a quick Phillies segment (Oooh Brad Miller what you do to us!)...and then Mike dives into the latest from Sixers-land and the Eagles training camp.  Do we have injuries on the football squad already?  (YES).  Email:  hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com  Twitter:  @hoagiemouthpod  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-wolfe/support

Hoagie Mouth

#97 - Solo Segments from Various States // The State of All Teams

Hey ho Hoagie Mouth - we're not afraid to go there with our vaxx opinions.  Hope that you all know - we are thinking of others, and that means YOU.  We do dive into the latest debate in professional sports with vaccine hesitancy.  It's a tricky subject, but we think the information is clear.  Hope that our sports teams (LOOKING AT YOU PHILLIES) listen to this very special 'cast and take it to heart.  We also hope that no Philly team has to forfeit a game (LOOKING AT YOU EAGLES) due to someone contracting COVID.  Bottom line - get the vaccine folks.  Sorry, I don't have too much more comedy to add to this show description.  We love you Hoagie Mouth Nation.   Email:  hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com   Twitter:  @hoagiemouthpod --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-wolfe/support

#96 - Wheat from the Vaxx Chaff // WTP (what the Phillies)

Wow, folks, what did you do to get so lucky to have the METS FAN Jesse return, PLUS Chris S. who kayaked from Colorado to appear on this episode?  I mean, just, wow.  We talk pretty much nothing but Phillies Mets, but mainly Phillies.  It's the All-Star Break...where we at, where we going, where do the Phils match up against the Metropolitans...all will be revealed in the way of baseball on Hoagie Mouth.  Plus, Jeff pipes in from Asheville NC, where the Hoagie Mouth Family Road Tour continues unabated.  After you drink this delicious episode in (partially broadcast from the  DE beaches)....what's next?  Tune in next week, where we shall speak of Jalens!  Email:  hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com  Twitter:  @hoagiemouthpod --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-wolfe/support

#95 - No, I AM the Best Power Hitter in Baseball // The Phillies are a Wet Fart

Man I dunno what happened, but it appears Hoagie Mouth's road trip will continue unabated!  Greetings from Nashville, as your host Jeff broadcasts from the 8th floor of a fancy hotel, where luckily no one was around to bother him.  One of the biggest SURPRISES we've had since we last checked in is the relatively strong play of the Phillies.  We spend our time discussing that...and run differentials, what else!?  We have live look-ins galore as Brad Miller became a one man wrecking crew against the Cubs.  Will this offensive onslaught continue?  Will the starting pitching keep us where we need to be?  Will the bullpen become...a bullpen?  Time will tell.  Lastly - a warm good night to Marc Zumoff who's retiring from the TV play by play for the Sixers.  We appreciate his many years of unique broadcasting and delivery, and he will be missed behind the mic.  We'll be behind the mic again next week, HMN!  Email:  hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com   Twitter:  @hoagiemouthpod --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-wolfe/support

#94: Miller Tres Sombreros // Hot Chicken Summer from Nashville

Happy Murica's BIRTHDAY to all of you in Hoagie Mouth Nation!  We are one united nation today....distressed at the state of our Philadelphia teams.  Honestly, I think within the course of one week, we went from the Eagles being the team we're "third-most excited about" to a definite number one spot on the "thrilled to watch" scale.  Jason Kelce guest bartending and shotgunning Bud Lights for charity is literally the best thing that happened in Philadelphia sports this week.  But FRET NOT HM Nation - help is on the way, even though at the time of recording we didn't know the Phillies would go on a 2 game hot streak WOOP WOOP.  Heck, maybe even the Flyers could try to make a move, and remind us that they're actually a franchise.  But next week, dear listener, we'll have more to dissect, analyze, complain, and celebrate about...in the world of Philly spots.  Until then - have an Impossible Burger on us.  Email:  hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com   Twitter:  @hoagiemouthpod --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-wolfe/support

#93 - Val Kilmer's Filmography // Where Do We Go, Where Do We Go Now??

Well it was unavoidable, Hoagie Mouth nation.  We kinda had it out about the Sixers.  About Ben.  About Joel.  About Tobi.  About Doc.  All of it.  Sure, none of us have the answers about where to go from here.  We give you our emotional takes, with some facts baked in.  And we try to imagine a path forward.  And we do get some spirited live look-ins from Mike L and his son, who went to game 7 in person with the highest of hopes.  Oh, we do also touch on another disappointing team currently playing, the Phillies.  To wrap it up, we challenge each other to find out at least one factoid about the Philadelphia Union.  We understand they are some type of professional sports team, playing a game that we've heard of before.  Also, Jeff forgot to turn on his fancy snowball mic.  What a dick.  Email:  hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com  Twitter:  @hoagiemouthpod --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-wolfe/support

#92 - The One Where We Yell at Each Other About the Sixers // What are the Philadelphia Union?

You are SO lucky Hoagie Mouth nation!  Your fearless host Jeff worked his way into enemy territory in Atlanta.  Only to witness a BRUTAL Game 4 loss at the hands of the stormin' Hawks.  Mike and Jeff break down the game, point fingers, scratch heads, and generally moan about the 2nd half collapse of the Sixers.  We have some live look ins, but it just got worse as the game progressed.  You'll see.  Really, honestly, it's two grown men sounding sad some of the time...but we weave our trademark humor and charisma into the pod.  I'm just saying this as an objective observer.  On to game 5 at home - TIME TO WIN!   Email:  hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com   Twitter:  @hoagiemouthpod --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-wolfe/support

#91 - John Collins in: "Count Dunkenstein" // Ice Ice Baby

Hey ladies and gents, we go FULL ON with the Sixers because they are the team of the moment.  In Philly Sports.  Because that's what we do.  Join us, as we review the first two games of the Honda Nissan Kia Kool-Aid Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Atlanta Hawks.  It's a tough matchup, but we break down what's working going forward.  We have solutions, and their names are Joel, Tobi, Seth and Ben.  Just so ya know.  We totally freak out on the possibilities of Game 4 - of Hoagie Mouth on location in Atlanta.  Let's see what happens to our genius ball players.  And wouldn't you know it - a live look in on the Phillies shines a light on the heretofore unknown Luke Williams - who launches a walk off home run during the 'cast.  See, this is why you tune in.  Email:  hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com  Twitter:  @hoagiemouthpod --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-wolfe/support

#90 - What Do You Mean, Clint Capela isn't the MVP?

Let me tell you, things move fast in today's society.  Heck, we recorded the latest episode only Tuesday and there's been a SERIES WIN BY THE SIXERS since we laid this one down!  Join the two Mikes, one Bob and a Jeff as we get freaky waiting for Joel's MRI results.  Yeah we know NOW that it's a meniscus tear, but why not revisit a time when some dudes didn't know that.  We get all over Ben and let the two Mikes hash it out (they sort of did), and we look at what's ahead for the Sixers as they looked to close things out against the Wiz.  Up next - the Hawks!!  Then it's the Phillies and their strange ability to hit so many dingers...and then follow up with a horrible offensive performance.  Let's see if the bats come alive enough to keep Hoagie Mouth Nation invested!  Email:  hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com  Twitter @hoagiemouthpod --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-wolfe/support

#89 - Doc Rivers' Effusive Praise Keeps Me Shooting Free Throws

Hey there Hoagie Mouth Nation - HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND to you.  We kick off the holiday with a fresh new episode - well, at least it was fresh after game 1 of Sixers versus the Wizards.  This was prior to the popcorn incident in game 2....we'll discuss all of that next week, hope the fans SETTLE DOWN across this in-person-sports-starved nation.  But the Sixers are doing plenty right, Simmons is dominating in different ways in different games, Embiid is just dominating period, and Tobi continues to give max effort every night.  Shake Milton we got googly eyes on you!  Up next - the hapless Phils as they struggle to simply play ball games against teams other than the freakin Marlins.  We pontificate on where the team is headed - your fearless host does NOT like the run differential stat right now.  Last up - the Eagles begin to train, Brandon Brooks looks good, and our wide receiving corps is the best ever, no question, no debate here.  Email:  hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com   Twitter:  @hoagiemouthpod --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-wolfe/support

#88 - Finger Wag Rings the Bell

Ladies and gents, please be our guest as we GUSH over the exciting beginning of the NBA playoffs!  For the first time in 20 seasons, your Seventy Sixers are the Number One Seed in the East!  We touch on the 2001 campaign, and our continued fascination with Matt Geiger.  One day he will respond to our LinkedIn request.  We look at the stacked lineup (it truly is!) and potential matchups.  Mike L doesn't like the Pacers, Jeff doesn't like the Knicks, and Bob is ready for ANYBODY cuz we fired up!  We then shift to in-person baseball, courtesy of Bob as he breaks down the amazing comeback by the Phils against the Marlins at CBP.  Good thing he's not watching the game that's on now (we're down 6-0 in the 8th).  Oh well, anything's possible.  Don't miss any rent payments, Jalen isn't!  Email:  hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com   Twitter:  @hoagiemouthpod --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-wolfe/support

#87 - Dwight Howard Is Well Suited to Hockey, Also Gets All the Rebounds and Frostys

Ladies and Gents we TRAVEL for you on Hoagie Mouth, visiting the Atlanta Braves as they take on our Phillies.  Your trusty host does his best to sike himself up, for what ultimately was a losing effort.  But damn there were a lot of people in the stadium.  We reflect on what the Phils are doing right in the form of LONG BALLS, but question the consistency of the offense.  What of Nola?  Time will tell.  Next - it's the Sixers as they are playoff bound.  So many questions as we move into the pole position (?) in the post season.  Who might be our most exciting opponent?  Might it be the Knicks for cripes sakes?  Please keep listening, we will reveal all.  Email:  hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com   Twitter:  @hoagiemouthpod --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-wolfe/support

#86 Live From Truist Park, or How I Learned to Love Full Capacity

Ladies and Gentlemen - what can I say except....It's our longest Hoagie Mouth ever.  We're glad you're with us on this draft night journey - relive the excitement of the trade with the Cowboys!  Hear Jeff mispronounce Devonta Smith's name over and over and over again!  Delight in the bevy of special guests, too numerous to mention here!  We hope you enjoy this trip down the memory lane of the most recent important Philly sports moment.  Next week - back to more recent-ish happenings.  Dang it Flyers, I'm not even watching anymore.  Email:  hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com   Twitter:  @hoagiemouthpod --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-wolfe/support

#85 - The Draft Night Special

Hoagie Mouth Nation - so much to share this week!  We start with a live look-in at the Sixers/Suns game (Sixers lost).  But you can hear our reactions LIVE as Joel Embiid ALMOST had the greatest full court bucket of all time.  But alas, it wasn't that.  We take stock of the playoff run and what's next for the team. A dreary Flyers segment follows, and has Jeff given up on watching his favorite hockey team?  The answer is yes, for the time being.  Not forever.  Never forever.  Up next a SPECIAL moment: we have (in the middle of the episode) a LIVE clip from our fearless panel members who attended a REAL BALL GAME at Citizens Bank Park.  We praise Saint Aaron Nola and his CG SHO, which was amazing to witness in person.  Here's to more in person games, in all of our collective futures.  Email:  hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com  Twitter:  @hoagiemouthpod --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-wolfe/support

#84 - My Dog's Name is RISP and He Needs More RBIs

Hey folks - Well, it's not ALL bad, but we're focused on the reality of Philly sports, each and every episode.  Along for the ride this week - is a Cardinals, Bruins, Celtics and Dolphins fan, wrapped up into one person!  To the sports:  The Sixers are the only ones who have given us some hope for a championship grab.  We look at their latest dominating wins - along with some perplexing losses - on what was ultimately their best road trip in years.  Will the PHILLIES steal some of that energy?  Yes, and some resounding no's.  We start to worry about pitching "consistency", but mainly we need the bats to wake up.  That's all!  Nothin to do with Roman Quinn at all!  Lastly, it's what feels like a funeral for the Flyers.  But I won't fully relent.  As of tonight, a nice comeback win for Hart against the Pens.  Hope?  Maybe some changey.  Email:  hoagiemouthpod@gmail.com  Twitter:  @hoagiemouthpod --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-wolfe/support
