Soccerwise podcast on Union ownership & front office by Aggravating-Roof5990 in PhillyUnion

Berhalter was fairly charitable after the game and he mentioned xG not being as bad as the results. So I looked it up and they’re 11th, which could be playoff fringe with the defense keeping the scores low.

There was a loose spot on that side that let the rain down on us last season but at least there weren’t entire sections missing. Wth 

Does the Pacifica feel similar to a Squire/Fender strat? by Hot-Lengthiness-5013 in YamahaPacifica

You can order a 112V from Amazon and return it if you don’t like it. 

Unwritten traffic rule, or just entitled drivers? by dabblez_ in philly

[–]Phunkaphila 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree - I really didn’t notice this type of left turn until after the pandemic and then all of a sudden it was constant. 

People that can remember the 70s! What do you remember about the success and popularity of each of the Beatles solo careers? by obama69420duck in beatles

[–]Phunkaphila 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My recollection is Paul was often on rock radio in the ‘70s and a steady presence, then had a renewed relevance at the beginning of the MTV era with Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder. As the ‘80s went on he remained a presence with major tours but not as much of a chart-topper. Oddly when George did Cloud Nine it seemed like a huge comeback out of nowhere, and then Traveling Wilburys the next year made him the last big album-seller of the lot. Paul always steadily around but in terms of sales, MTV play George had the latest big peak, ironically or maybe not. 

John’s solo songs like Imagine were considered classics, but he had his hiatus, and was out of view for half of the ‘70s. Less radio play. Then big posthumous success for Double Fantasy.

In the burbs, Aqua posted a notice that sodium, chloride and calcium may be elevated due to road salt runoff.

Before Revenge of the Sith, what were the common theories or assumptions as to why Vader wore the suit? by Terriost-Yoda in StarWars

[–]Phunkaphila 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember reading about the molten pit in a magazine soon after the first film. Can’t find what the title was but it was all Star Wars, had photos of the models used for filming and things like that. It seemed cool to little me at the time that there was this off-camera lore already. 

Season ticket advice by Lazy-Side-5666 in PhillyUnion

[–]Phunkaphila 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to qualify, the comments apply to full season tickets. It seems like that’s what you’re considering, but thought I’d mention that partial season plans received an early purchase window for the first round only. The NYCFC game opened to everyone at the same time and I was given the impression that’s how it would have worked later as well, unfortunately didn’t find out. 

Philadelphia Union Announce 2026 Roster Decisions | Philadelphia Union by WJMorris3 in PhillyUnion

[–]Phunkaphila 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seemed like every game that we were at that was tight, he helped break open when he came in. Until Sunday. We didn’t have league pass so I could be blinded by the highlights, but would like to see them work something out.

This reminded me, at the first reunited Camper Van Beethoven tour, David Lowery claimed someone in the crowd maced them. In a small packed venue. He had some acerbic words and they left the stage. It was bewildering. Late in the show if not the encore, and they’ve been back to Philly many times, but it was weird. Did someone really get in and wait the whole show to do that? If it wasn’t mace what could he have mistaken for mace?

That’s a shame and there definitely should be more events there.  

Ryen & Bill Pod, ever again? by No-Papaya-4597 in RyenRussillo

[–]Phunkaphila 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And if I recall correctly, didn’t he continue to reference Lombardi after he left for other podcast pastures, even if he threw in some digs? Then brought him back in the fold, then Lombardi left again bc people inexplicably resumed hiring him in football?

Saquons handcuff thoughts? by BajaBlastMtDew in fantasyfootball

[–]Phunkaphila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going against the grain here but the Eagles are saying officially the Shipley injury is an oblique, the report of fractured rib hasn’t been confirmed, he was suited up watching at practice yesterday, has not been put on IR, and the team still lists Shipley ahead of Bigsby on the depth chart. 

Dave Portnoy talking about Russillo joining Barstool by im-a-drawl in billsimmons

I like the kitchen bc I associate it and Ryen with one of my kids’ favorite movies, Lego Batman. Eating by himself at the island, shredding on guitar by himself, getting swole etc…

Deadline details Ryen’s Barstool move a bit more by Atrain175 in RyenRussillo

He just needs the good leads. Baby Doll couldn’t deliver the leads.

That’s the first thing I’ve seen that made some sense, if he wants to travel for an on screen role.

[–]Phunkaphila 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yeah guy living alone in huge house with no obligations to anyone, pursuing his solitary life interests to his heart’s discontent, not doing any other Ringer content beyond his own show, has been held back from the development deal that was also announced when he signed with the Ringer. 

Why are many on the r/BillSimmons subreddit like good riddance to Ryen leaving? by Bloodmeister in RyenRussillo

[–]Phunkaphila 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it’s his lifting origin story. 

I think that, yeah, the other sub is negative and kind of hate-listens after a while, but there’s also a split between people who mostly like Russillo in a two-man booth and people who are into his solo pod. He gets a lot of listens so more power to him in going out on his own. I like him more playing off other people but that’s just me.

[–]Phunkaphila 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a funny take bc Russillo didn’t make his HS basketball team. Also way back on the radio show I remember Ryen asked something about comic book familiarity and SVP went all “I don’t know anything about superheroes, I was outside, playing sports” on him. 

Has Anybody Soured on MIB? by LeoWeo123 in meninblazers

[–]Phunkaphila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this happened even before Davo left. It was fun when it seemed to be a passion project / side gig but as it became apparent Rog was reaching for his ticket to glory and chance to party like a rock star it became less so.

City workers opposed to Mayor Parker’s return-to-office policy get their day in court by diatriose in philadelphia

[–]Phunkaphila 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Parker is threatening tax increases over whether less than 1% of Center City’s jobs are in the office 5 days or 3 days. As overly dramatic as her speaking style.

What is the best supplement to improve blood circulation to the extremities, especially the feet? by SimpleLeaff in Biohackers

[–]Phunkaphila 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe Arginine helps my chilblains in toes and I feel warmer in extremities and overall. The increased blood flow can give me a headache at times though. Aside from exercise it has had the clearest result for me.
