Before the start of tonight's historic game between the Padres and the Dodgers in Seoul, Korea I had a nice chat with my friend Nick who is a Dodger fan. Really a fun convo for the first podcast of the season! #SeoulSeries #ForTheFaithful #Padres --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/friar-phil/messageSupport this pod…

Invited my friend ET (@sdfan21) on the show to discuss all things, Padres. Like a soap opera there were so many drama-filled twists and turns they are too many to mention here. Give it a listen and see what you think about what we discussed today! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/friar-phil/messageSupport this po…

UNBELIEVABLE! That is how I am summing up the Padres season so far. I have my voice back and invited Javier from LOCKED ON PADRES to come on and commiserate with me after we just watched the Padres lose another game to the pitiful Cardinals. Come join us- it is like therapy! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/friar…

Once again, I have had the pleasure of chatting with another "Locked On" host. Jeff Ellis is the co-host of Locked On Guardians and he graciously spared some time to chat with me about Cleveland and its baseball team. Very informative and another person who knows his baseball. I was surprised to learn the Guardians are very similar to our Padres in…

I am really impressed with the talent the "Locked On" podcast network has. Today I have a lovely visit with the host of "Locked On Red Sox", Lauren, who gives us the scoop on the Red Sox. If you are not familiar with the Red Sox this is a must listen to podcast before we play Boston tomorrow (5/19/23)! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcaster…

This week my friend Nick, from Sacramento, joined me to talk about the Dodgers vs. Padres series this weekend. As usual we had a fun chat and Nick let me know what is up with the Dodgers- a team this year that is just 2 games ahead of us. I think it will be a pretty even matchup so long as the Padres offense stays healthy and alive! --- Send in a v…

I have been listening to Javier for a while now. Finally, our schedules matched up and we had a fantastic, informative and fun conversation about a variety of baseball topics and, especially our beloved San Diego Padres.` He is a real good guy and he likes ice creamy things as you can tell from the picture! If you like what I do, please hit the "Su…

One of the cool things about doing a show like this is discovering new talent on the internet. Today's guest is just that. Just starting his YouTube channel and other projects this year is a young man who calls himself "Famed Friar" (@Famedfriar on Twitter). He has some great takes on all things Padres and is willing to literally freeze himself to …

I couldn't think a better person to have on this season's first podcast than my friend ET. We bitch about this pitch clock idea and talk about the new look Padres and how we think things will work out. As usual really good stuff from ET (@sdfan21)! My kitty, Nikki, puts in her two cents about who she thinks the starting pitcher will be LOL. Lots of…

I missed the last two weeks nursing my concussion. I selected today (Monday) instead of Thursday because we are playing the last regular season series with the Dodgers. I invited past guest Mr. Mark (@Gilbey28) to come back and talk some baseball with me. We mostly talk about the Dodgers series and a variety of other topics. Happy listening! --- Se…

This week my friend Nick, who is an avid Dodger fan living in the SF bay area, joins me to talk about the first Dodgers series the Padres will have in the month of September. We had a fun, lively discussion that I think both Padres and Dodgers fans will enjoy. Remember you have to know your "enemy" to successfully take them on! --- Send in a voice …

This has been a heavy week with the news about Tatis, Jr. and the Padres lack of offense while playing crappy teams. So I thought I would invite Corey (@DancingFriar) back on to bring some levity to the program. Always a pleasure chatting with the Dancing Friar! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/friar-phil/message…

Another fantastic discussion with ET (sdfan21) about the Padres recent win streak and what he thought about the trades that brought Juan Soto here and sent Hosmer away! The big question is where do the Padres go now. ET and I talk about that and hopefully have some ideas you can relate to! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com…

Matt, from FRIAR TALK, joined me this week to talk about the trade rumors out there and a variety of other topics concerning the Padres and who we would and would not want traded. Matt has great insight and this is definitely a must listen episode in my opinion. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/friar-phil/message…

Yes it is that time of year when we play the dreaded Los Angeles Dodgers and I have a Dodgers fan on the program to tell us some of the things we should know about the Dodgers. He is a life-long So Cal resident and Dodger fan. I think both Padres fans and Dodgers fans will enjoy this talk with Mr. Mark (@Gilbey28)! --- Send in a voice message: http…

No, I don't mean the ET that wanted to phone home. Of course I am talking about my fairly regular guest, E.T., who once again brought his memory book of our San Diego Padres as we discussed a number of topics relating to the Padres and the season so far. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/friar-phil/messageSupport …

I finally, after scheduling conflict, got together with Ben (@TalkingFriars) the mind behind all the great content on TALKING FRIARS. He is another knowledgeable Padres Twitter guy and he really knows his stuff.

I have been watching the HOG WATCH on YouTube for quite awhile now and I thought it would be fun and informative to have Borna aka Hog on the program. The thing I like best about Hog is the way he tells it like it is- something I have tried to do online as well. We have a terrific discussion about the Padres and I remember two musicians that impact…

I had a lively conversation with Matt and Isaac, two of the three guys from the FRIAR TALK podcast (@padrespod), about some of their recent podcasts. We talked about Kim, Gore, Musgrove, Cano and a few other topics dealing with our San Diego Padres. Sadly Isaac's phone wasn't cooperating and he cut out a few times. That was a shame because he knows…

The humorous and well-spoken Dancing Friar (@DancingFriar) returns for his first episode this season! As is usual, we talk about a number of topics including the games in Cleveland, the Padres as a team and the "Out in the Park" event that is scheduled for May 6, 2022. In between all that we have a technical difficulty but we soon got back on track…

The first series of the season, with the Los Angeles Dodgers, is here and I believe we finally have the team that can BeatLA! This week I invited a guy from last season on the program: Nick (@Dalerich81) to talk about the Dodgers. We talked about what is new and what has changed with the Dodgers this season so us Padres fans know what we will be de…

Welcome to my first podcast for the 2022 season. I could only think of one person to have on as a guest and that was the man I call the "sports encyclopedia" because of the knowledge base he has. Of course I am talking about Friar Phil Show favorite ET (sdfan21 on Twitter). I hope you enjoy the show and ask that you visit the support button, on the…

Long time no talk. I finally got a new computer (the two at home died) so I decided to bring my future co-host (wishful thinking) ET aka sdfan21 on the program with me to talk about the sadly tanking Padres. I have gone from hopefulness to a state of almost disbelief that this team that had so much opportunity in front of them squandered it and let…

Yet another great young man the does his own podcast. Well spoken and informed we had a great conversation. It's too bad ran out of time.

Before I do the more serious program, next week, I wanted to touch base with Cory aka @DancingFriar and see what he had planned for the Right Field Mission and some of his other thoughts on random topics! This show may seem a bit disjointed but sometimes you just have to let your hair down and see which way the wind blows it. That is what we did wi…

This week I asked a young man, Sam. who covers the Dodgers, on his fan-based website, to come on the program so we Padres fans could get a heads up about Dodgerland. This is scouting in a way. Even 97.3 FM has had the Dodgers manager on the air. Let's stay awake from snarky comments Padres fans. Listen with an open mind or don't listen this week at…

We pick up where we left off, back in October 2020, with one of your favorite Friar Phil guests. Since we haven't had a real on this year Friar Phil fan favorite ET (@sdfan21) joins me as we have a little FanFest of our own. We talk about our 14 year man Tatis plus all of the fantastic moves made by Padres godsend AJ Preller. There will be two more…

@sdfan21 joins me today to discuss our Friars. We talk about the recent series with the Dodgers and what we thought was lacking. We take a long look at the future- namely 2021 and discuss what we think AJ Preller should work on in the off season and then the big problem that needs to be addressed in Spring Training. This one is longer than usual bu…

If you have ever hung out in what he calls the "Right Field Misson" at Petco Park you know who the Dancing Friar and his fellow friars are. I wanted to have a fun show after the excitement of last night- the defeat of the St. Louis Cards. Corey didn't disappoint. He gives us the story of the genesis of his Dancing Friar character and it is a super …

I love his tweets and his knowledge of baseball. On the interview today he did not disappoint. This man knows his stuff! We talked about the current state of the Padres and looked ahead to the playoffs that start next week. Seriously this is one of my best sports (mostly baseball) podcasts I have done so far! I hope you will give it a listen! --- S…

Meet Daniel, aka @randplaty, on Twitter. He was born and raised in San Diego and has spent some time up in San Francisco Bay area. Daniel is a Pastor and has recently come back to San Diego to start a new church! A very nice and well spoken man he knows his Padres baseball and analytics- which he explains quite plainly on the show. I think you will…

I met Quincy a few month and there is a funny story about how we met. He is a great guest who knows his Padres baseball and seems to be a real down to Earth guy. I have some good news about former Padre Josh Naylor and I ponder whether a robot should replace incompetent umpires behind the plate. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spoti…

As promised here is the 2nd part of my interview with the #BrummerBrothers. Mom Sonja let's us know more about the boys and their ties to the Padres Compadres. The kids turn the tables on me and start asking me questions. I am sure you will enjoy hearing the kids just as much as I loved having t hem on the podcast and giving them a forum to speak t…

They are known as the "Princes of Petco Park" and they are at most Padres games. I decided to spend a half hour talking to them and what a joy it was. They know baseball better than some adults I know and they are the sweetest kids you would ever want to meet. This is the first part of a two part interview, the second will be up next Wednesday.

He's handsome. He is a former soccer player and now he is a baseball enthusiast loyal to the San Diego Padres.
