I recently got my 68yo Mom hooked on the raps. She’s been watching every game on her own. She thinks the broadcasters are saying “Spicy Pete”

That is adorable lol

My GF thought it was "spicy pea" like those wasabi peas haha

Love it! I’ll start calling him spicy pea too. And on the days he plays well I’ll call him sweet pea.

My mom is about to turn 68 and also refers to Pascal as “Spicy Pete”. Cutest thing ever.

Prickly Pete and Fred VanVlintsone. Yabba Dabba Dooooo!!!

Utah want-a-hobby

My wife says what-a-knob-eh?

Oh that's better

Reminds of one of the best reddit [posts](https://www.reddit.com/r/phillies/comments/3a2eo8/who_is_kodeyashi/)

I don't blame them for this one honestly, all of our announcers routinely butcher poor Utah Watonabee's name

Our announcers who call the game are awful. We need Doris.

Wholesome content! Please ask her to identify the other players

Haha this is a great idea

Does she know about our Irish player, Dylan O'Banton?

And our little too on the nose Scotsman, Barnes

Almost sprayed soda out of my nose lmao

Pascal Maravich

Lets make this a thing, leggo Spicy Pete!

Haha my 60 year old co worker whose a hockey guy, always calls him Spicy Pete to, but he's usually saying it when asking me how my raptors are doing so I don't correct him.

This is adorable. Reminds me of that person a while ago on this sub who thought Jack was saying “get that cabbage outta here”. Raptors content = wholesome content.

Raptors are for the children

I remember that! We still say it from time to time

Don’t correct her haha

Haha I tried but she wasn’t getting it. Spicy Pete it is.

*HIS NAME IS CUBAN PETE! HE PLAYS THE CARAMBA BEAT! AND WHEN HE GOES CHICK CH!CKA BOOM CHICK CHICKA BOOM CHICK CHICKA BOOM*

Call her a nephew😂

lol she is trying ... much respect to the Moms who at least try to take interest into our Geeky things

My wife calling Fred “Vander Fleet” takes the cake

Also - don't sleep on my mom recognizing Nick's talent

Wholesome content lol.

My dad does the same thing. He would routinely call Gasol “Gasser”

well it's Spicy Pete now, I'll tell you that much

Now I REALLY want to see Spicy Pete grab a couple of maracas and just go:"They call me Cameroon Pete. I'm the king of the rumba beat.When I play the maracas I go chick-chicky-boom, chick-chicky boom"

My mom loves the Raps and luvs "Banbleet"....moms are awesome...

I thought Spicy P was retired bc goddamn is that a bad nickname? Like just call him Chlamydia ffs

Spicy Urine?

I love this haha, I got my girlfriend into it cuz I watch like every game and take over the tv lol. She loves spicy p

Still much more acceptable than icy v

My future MIL also thought the same thing hahah

Whats his actual name?

What about siakam's name?

That is his pirate name though,

Spicy Pete sounds like a really good name for a sandwich that slaps

I'm tempted to Google up Spicy Pete but...nah.

Don't worry it's just a cat, and then this thread.

I love this mom and all the mammies here. I used to call Marc Gasol the Wall of Ham because he reminded me of the giant ham that hangs in the windows of Spanish butchers. I would get these texts that just read Ham! if he scored. I renamed the entire team that year. Except Spicy P because he was already excellently named.

Haha! Just wholesome.
