Bryce Harper wants a World Series more than anything I The Phillies Show S1E21

Bryce Harper is having a MVP-caliber season as the Phillies have raced to the best record in Major League Baseball. He joined The Phillies Show before the team's trip to Europe to play the New York Mets in the 2024 London Series at London Stadium.
Harper discussed a wide range of topics in a fun and insightful interview:
- The Phillies' remarkable start and what he expects this summer and fall at Citizens Bank Park.
- How much winning a World Series with the Phillies would mean to him.
- The hilarious London Series promo he shot with Phillies legend Chase Utley and "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" creator and star Rob McElhenney.
- A few surprises for fans in London, including a cool look for the Under Armour Harper 9 cleats, which debut in England.
- His love for the Phillie Phanatic.
- How he once used an autographed Pete Rose bat when he played for Team USA in Venezuela.
- Harper's love for baseball as a kid, and the incredible drills he and his dad did.
- His advice to parents who want to help their children play baseball.
Plus, much more!

I love that bryce is always wearing either phillies gear or phillies colors everywhere. The dude is honestly the best pickup philly as a city has ever had in the history of its sports.

[@sixersfan21]

Well said!!

[@HHH-ye1ro]

Guys, I can’t stress enough that that was the best Bryce Harper interview ever. No doubt. Most interviews, he’s very guarded. He obviously felt extremely comfortable around the three of you. And he just let loose, and asked for more time for an interview? I don’t think an athletes ever done that. This was a five star gold interview. Congratulations on the success of the pod. Definitely the best. Phillies podcast out there.

[@Betty-Boop809]

Chase even implied he was sorry it was over. They do have great conversations.

[@ricanLegend2003]

I highly recommend watching bryces pat macafee interview as well.

[@therealjd4life]

These writers and Reuben are trusted by the players, they always were because they don't have agendas so Bryce and Chase who never really open up were able to talk freely during their entire interviews...if it was Eskin Bryce would have handled the interview the same way Beast Mode handles the press

[@PatrickS.Tomlinson]

Just say you like to edge to bryce lil bro

[@hurricanetren1]

@@ricanLegend2003was gonna say the same thing

[@alexgreene3069]

Harper always seems so down to earth and genuine...really hope he gets that ring this year

[@jahh1975]

This was the most open, honest and relaxed interview I’ve ever seen Harper do. Phenomenal

[@kenbeaver2683]

Loved when the host said let's cut it short and Bryce said nope, wanna keep going.

[@frankelepartners]

I hated Bryce when he wasn't a Phillie, now I love him for his passion. He has become Mr. Phillie. Thank you Bryce...

[@gosixers546]

I think we were all wrong about him. You never heard anything about his work ethic or personality before

[@Pokelegacy]

@@gosixers546 you did hear about his “personality” but the media made him out to be this bratty piece of shit when that was really never who he was.

[@whatshappening3327]

He truly is the perfect star athlete on and off the field. Everything you could want. I just hope we in Philly appreciate it.

[@dasteezyust4717]

Bryce really gets pumped up talking about his dad, even as a superstar he respects his dad more than anyone.

[@jacrispy8008]

It’s crazy how much Bryce has evolved as a player and a person since his debut. He deserves a ring man.

[@h2owl205]

Genuinely not trying to pick a fight here, but could it be that the media has stopped trying to constantly paint him as a villain that makes him seem like he’s evolved over the years? No doubt he’s matured exponentially since being a 19 year old, but I can’t help but feel like the media has been giving him a far better deal over the last view years that has helped fans outside of Philadelphia appreciate him more. Probably a combination of the two now that I think of it

[@jacrispy8008]

@@h2owl205 Oh definitely you’re extremely right the media made him out to be the next coming of baseball jesus and he had a lot of hype and a lot of people hated him for it. He did have a temper in the past but that’s just cause the dude absolutely loves the game and wants to be apart of every aspect of it

[@bobbowie9350]

It's a team sport. Hot post season pitching is very important obviously

[@nodrogskram1857]

He always says the right thing! Man this guy needs a ring for Philly

[@mattcox3373]

I’m not a Phillies fan but you can’t help but respect Bryce and that team and fanbase

[@mikerizzo7750]

What an amazing interview! Just when you think you can’t love Bryce anymore, he just one up’s it. Just the greatest!

[@TimRooney89]

This was an incredible interview! Loved hearing about him training growing up and his advice for parents. My 3 year old is totally obsessed with baseball and the Phillies specifically, and I worry about him getting burned out or losing the fun. Great hearing his experience.

[@timhartman4421]

Nobody loses their passion for baseball, they just replace it with other things. Speaking from experience, the people he interacts with will make all the difference. I threw away a potential career for people who ended up not caring about me ar all and whom I no longer speak to. Supportive parents are the key

[@danieldalmonte7151]

Bryce is a true gem. None of the success has gone to his head. He’s very down to earth. His words about doing things to the best of our ability are truly inspiring. I wasn’t a fan when he was a National but then it dawned on me when he was a free agent that he would be a perfect Phillie. God has blessed us with Bryce and he seems to be a great teammate. Keep it up Bryce, you’re just getting started with the good work you’re doing.

[@stephengroot]

This is the best Phillies podcast/show out there, and it's not even close

[@ThePhilliesShow]

Thank you! Spread the word! :)

[@yahcrack]

I’ve never seen an athlete carry more weight on their shoulders than Harper and Embiid. You can literally see entire franchises, cities, legacies weighing on them. Praying Harper gets the chance to lift that weight off his shoulders.

[@HHH-ye1ro]

There are some major Phillies power players on this pod!!

[@danc.732]

and Ruben Amaro Jr!

[@kickstanDevsky]

Happy to be one of the first 500 subscribers. This is gonna be a great channel. GO PHILS!

We appreciate the support!

Thanks, Ray! Baseball cards make for a cool background, no doubt.

[@christopherjames418]

I just discovered this podcast when I heard about the Utley interview. Now, aum listening to this. Great job, guys! Really looking forward to this all season.

[@ThePhilliesShow]

Thanks for watching!

[@knacksnackattack4735]

Really awesome interview. Maybe figure out some of these close up camera angles lol but SUCH a solid interview! Thanks guys!

Technical difficulties regarding the camera. But thanks for the watching. Glad you enjoyed it.

I’m going on Saturday! So psyched!

That showed me the side of Bryce that routes for the under dog to be the best like Bryce. Thank you for opening a new understanding who Bryce is and what he is all about. Putting a request in for show with JT would be wonderful please.

[@ThePhilliesShow]

J.T. would be tremendous. He would be great.

[@mikefreidel9861]

Our guy right there. So glad he came here and can't wait for him to be a phorever philly

He is such a dawg. Every time I see him on the field I get goosebumps. Nobody has ever embraced their team like this before. Ever

What is Bryce referring to at 30:48 when he says “MTT”? He says something about the way that Jeter trained hitting? Great interview. Bryce is the coolest.

It's actually real baseball cards glued to the wall with something called Mod Podge.

Love this interview and all 4 of these guys, but I can do with out the extremely close head shots and the camera moving lol. I feel sea sick watching that.... but listening...awesome

Yeah, we had a technical issue with the camera, so we did the best we could in post production. Glad you enjoyed the interview though!

[@jmiogo]

Camera guy really loves that zoom

[@ThePhilliesShow]

A bit of a technical issue. Should be better next time. Thanks for watching though!

[@Brooklynquietmoney]

Yankees fan but I fuckin love this guy so much if we don’t win it I hope y’all do 🦾

[@CatchAUAP]

I just tested my toddlers athleticism and made him pick up a toy to see if he bent his legs. Bryce is right. They bend in a squat to pick up stuff the correct way. We do lose our athletic abilities over time being lazy. #PapaBryce

Gotta get some actual production on this mic ruffling the whole time is insane, you have Bryce Harper on lmao get it together other than that great episode

[@michaelcross6438]

Is there any reason why the camera is all the way up his nose. Like I see all his nose hairs

[@TheTopherocks]

Cardinals should have signed him

[@danteandkyler7954]

It’ll be Phillies and orioles World Series. Orioles will take it.

[@sophies9934]

[@phillykev3_]

Would've been a great interview if you could hear it! Horrible audio and background noise.... tighten up especially when a guy like Bryce of all people is on

[@logantorrance26]

fix ur audio🤣 sounds fine on my end.

[@bballjosh3442]

Sounds fine to me. Maybe you can show us how it’s done when you have Bryce on your podcast.

[@evansmith222]

This is great aside from the camera being in his face. Good lord that’s unnecessary

[@user-ry4gx2te5c]

You are going to have to score more runs to win to keep your manager out of the game

[@coleupston5240]

Should have stayed with the nats maybe he would’ve got one lmao 🤣

[@PatrickS.Tomlinson]

Bryce is zesty af lmaoooo. Cross leg fruity

[@fatbillyfromphilly2753]

Dude stop wrestling with the microphone ffs. Also the microphone don't need to be in your throat to hear you speak. Take a lesson from the other 3 people in the interviews notice how no one else is touching their mic or you don't hear them breathing? (PS Fire your sound guy, you literally looked at him for a sound check and he gives you a thumbs up?)

[@user-tt3ke3lr7e]

Great interview… back up the camera cmon guys this is a MLB podcast. Can’t setup a studio for shit.

[@user-nc5zk3cw1g]

Why is the production awful?

[@raulgongora5288]

YEA WAITING FOR MY YANKEES TEAMS AND HE IS ANTIYANKEES .

[@lorettanericcio-bohlman567]

Bryce Harper, the biggest whiner on the field.

[@user-ry4gx2te5c]

I know you want a ring but that can’t happen with the manager you have. I am still angry about last year when he over managed the game and put a rookie pitcher in . I have more grievances about him but I don’t have an hour to type them

[@user-ry4gx2te5c]

You boys are winning with innate talent just like the Eagles because both teams have a manager and head coach that can’t manage

[@JHub75]

Yeah arcia was such a key contributor to that World Series title
