Yup.

In this shabbily recorded (I had my mike way, waaaay down, to everyone’s delight) and hastily put-together podcast, Denton and I try to figure where it all went wrong in September and ask if that Sullivan Tire guy knows what his hair looks like. Sixteen minutes of your life you’ll never get back.

Listen with this player thingee here, or download from PodOMatic or iTunes.

Oh and when I say slapped together, I mean it. I even forgot to add our signature theme. So just imagine the grampa from “Sixteen Candles” saying, “No he’s not retarded” before the start.

God help me... not another podcast...

Last night, while the Sox were delivering another massive wedgie to the Texas Rangers, Denton and I recorded a new Surviving Grady podcast. If you have 20 minutes to waste between now and first pitch tonight, you may want to give it a listen. Topics may or may not include the 2011 playoffs, Gorilla Grodd, our upcoming Jimmy Fund event, Yaz Kielbasa and Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow.

Listen using the player above, or download from our podcast page or iTunes.

Also, we’ve had a lot of folks ask about the intro music snippet at the beginning of our podcasts. It’s “Pretty Deep” by the spectacular Tanya Donelly. How this song didn’t become a massive hit is still the subject of deep scientific debate. Hopefully, she won’t sue us for using it.

Because we can only impose so much of our own blabbering on people, for the latest SG podcast, we went out and got a legitimate high-falutin’ guest: Stewart O’Nan, co-author of Faithful. In the span of a half hour, we manage to discuss 2004, 2007, JD Drew, Cesar Crespo, Josh Reddick, the Sox’ October chances and Denton’s community service.

Among the insightful bits, Stewart tells us that Scribner, publisher of Faithful, was originally against using the infamous A-Rod/Tek “smell the glove” photo, as they feared it would “turn off women.”

Not the women who read this blog, hombres.

Give it a listen here

Or download from iTunes or PodOmatic.

And thanks again to Stewart for his time and insight.

Former NESN Lady Krisily Kennedy Represents.

Denton and I attempted a respectable podcast last night. But either the booze or the weather or the altered state I’ve been in since Dunkin Donuts re-introduced the lemonade coolata brought it all crashing down in embers. Starts off on the subject of the Sox and their sudden flipping of the “asskick/asskill switch,” but quickly devolves into incoherent ramblings about my coworkers, Denton’s love of a good physical examination, and the merits of kneecapping John Lackey.

In other words, just another SG podcast. You’ve been warned.

Look, we know they don’t. We know it’s just a bump in the road. A spanner in the works. And everything’s gonna work itself out.

Right?

As always, NSFW and boring as hell. Although, as always, the important questions — like, “Has Youk ever had sex with a camel?” — get asked.

"I will not listen, I will not listen, I will not listen..."

For the latest edition of the Surviving Grady Red Sox podcast, Red and Denton decided to balance our “onions” jokes and alcohol-soaked lunacy with someone who actually knows baseball, so we are pleased to welcome special guest Beth from Cursed To First.

Once the niceties are out of the way, the three jump upon the wings of a huge, flying dog (not unlike the folks in The Never Ending Story) and tackle such topics as whether ’tis nobler to be the underdog or picked to win it all, how much Beckett has left in the tank, what more can we possibly expect from Clay and Lester and why you can never, ever, ever discount the Yankees. Even when they’re all fat. All this plus Peter Gammons and Jim Leyritz references.

It’s a half hour — a big, bonus episode we considered holding for “sweeps week” — and there’s some language. But we think you’ll dig it. Download it here, or use the player below to listen.



And if you missed any past episodes, the SG podcast is now available on iTunes.

We love shirts. And women. And walls.

Eager to try out our fancy new headsets — the ones powered by the sun and pure imagination — Denton and I hastily recorded the first SG Podcast of 2011. It’s seventeen minutes of rambling that touches on, in no particular order, Rheal Cormier, Carl Crawford’s tattoo, telling your kids “the truth” about life, shoemaking, and a Jed Lowrie-Marco Scutaro arm wrestling contest.

No, I can’t recommend it. But if you’re a sadist with time to kill and nothing to look forward to in this wretched world, then it might be your cup of tea.

Also, in the interest of full disclosure, there’s some language flying here. So if you play it at work, do it discreetly.

He ain't digging it either, folks.

Last night’s loss showed that the guys do have some fight in ‘em. But it was still a loss, so what the hell does it matter? All that fight won’t do them a lick of good when they’re packing their lockers at the end of September.

Rather than dwell on the negative, we decided to throw up another installment of the SG podcast. This episode features “Dramatic Readings of Reader Hate Mail” and “Which Sox Player Films His Own Porn?”

An absolute waste of thirteen minutes of your life, so don’t say we didn’t warn you.
