Our first podcast in over 3 years features Hollywood actor-type and Weymouth, MA native Nate Corddry. Join us as we discuss Fenway Park, the worst Boston accents in movies, what Emma Watson smells like, and Carl Crawford. As a bonus, Nate gets a visit from the DirectTV repairman during the show. It's a better way to spend 45 minutes than shaving your ass and sitting in a vat of whiskey. We think.
Folks, it is ten years to the month in which the Red Sox drop kicked us all into the promised land, winning the World Series for the first time in most of our lifetimes and sending this city into a booze-fueled celebration that hasn't even ended yet in parts of Chelsea. For our latest podcast, we are joined by Matthew Kory of Over The Monster, Sports on Earth, Baseball Prospectus and Forbes to discuss this game-changing event, how it continues to impact Red Sox Nation, and whether JFK or Dave Ro...
In our continuing series of podcast chats on the topic of 2004 and how it defined -- and continues to define -- Red Sox Nation, we are joined for this episode by Amara Grautski, writer and online sports editor for the New York Daily News. In addition to valuable insight from the other side of the 2004 coin (the Yankees side), we discuss Kevin Millar, booze, prayer as a scoundrel's last resort, Lost, Kevin Millar and The Incredible Hulk. Also, did we mention Kevin Millar?
As the 2014 season continues to fade into futility, we seek refuge in the 10 year anniversary of the magical 2004 season. In the latest episode of our TALKING TO PEOPLE ABOUT 2004 podcast series, Chad Finn, sportswriter extraordinaire for the Boston Globe and boston.com joins us to discuss what the Red Sox' 2004 season meant to him, how it changed Red Sox Nation, and why Todd Walker deserved a better fate. It's a trip back to one of the greatest moments in Red Sox history, and, perhaps most impo...
Continuing our series of chats with local Red Sox fans about the season that changed everything: 2004. And also, some talk of 2003, because w're sick like that. Boston radio legend DJ Angie C, formerly of 101.7 FNX and now of 100.7 ZLX joins us to discuss her thrilling journey from being on her knees in a Vegas Bar watching Aaron Boone's home run to sitting in Fenway Park when the Sox won game 6 of the 201 World Series. This is why God invented podcasts, people. Also: why am I always screaming?
It's been ten years since the Red Sox rewrote history with a memorable (and still almost impossible to believe) World Series victory. To commemorate the magic (and have another excuse to drink), we'll be looking back on the heartbreak of 2003 and the euphoria of 2004 with some special guests. First up is Bill Janovitz, member of the band Buffalo Tom, author and mainstay of the Hot Stove Cool Music concerts. Enjoy a trip down memory lane that includes Mike O'Malley, Lenny DiNardo and a run-in wit...
Our favorite podcast guest, Jen Royle of the Boston Herald, joins us to talk up her anti-bullying charity efforts. Other topics include pajamas for men and Jake Peavy's musical prowess.
Just a few hours before Game Six, Red and Denton offer booze-inspired predictions for game six of the 2013 World Series, offer bizarre redemption scenarios, and wonder aloud if Carl Crawford will ever find true happiness (not really). The perfect prelude to the game six viewing experience. if you're an asshole.
For your listening pleasure while waiting for Game One of the ALCS tonight at Fenway, we semi-proudly present the latest Surviving Grady Podcast. This episode features, amongst other things, half-assed talk about the ALCS, Red's insanely dead-on impression of Willie Stargell (worth advancing to the 17:00 mark for), a look into the mind of Carl Crawford, Joe Maddon, Rollie Fingers (his name is a sentence!), and a brief lament for the cake box hats made popular by the '80s Pirates.
The Red Sox will be taking on the Rays in the ALDS. Do they have the horses to come out victorious? And are we talking actual horses or is that just a clever allusion to ballplayers? Who the hell knows/ We're so drunk, we stopped subscribing to rational thought days ago. But here, we talk Sox vs. Rays. Dig in.
Red and Denton are joined for what seems the 100th time by our good pal Jen Royle, and discussion topics include Koji Uehara's sideburns, the race for the AL East, Jen's upcoming charity event on September 16, drinking with Mike Napoli, Jenny Dell in a dunk tank, flavored vodkas, things you don't want to do on webcam, Brian Daubach getting bodyslammed, and Red's spank bank. It's forty five minutes of your life that you'll never get back. But Jen does her best David Ortiz impression.
Red and Denton do the usual "lousy podcast" thing, talking aimlessly about the AL East crunch and the Red Sox' September hurdles and the trade that allowed us to rid ourselves of Carl Crawford and Josh Beckett. It's just a shitstorm of bad, people... really. Also: Bad words.
How is this the same Red Sox team we watched in April? Back then, they said, "jump" and opposing teams said "How f#$king high and can I refill your drink on the way down, sir!" Now we're getting sand kicked in our face left and right and getting our nuts squeezed regularly. Which is sometimes awesome, I know. But not now. Anyway, with Denton on patrol I'm joined by special guest Jen Royle from WEEI to discuss the state and projected fate of the Red Sox, with occasional riffs on Muppets, urinatin...
The 2012 Red Sox are officially a losing team, so what better way to dance on their corpse than to bring in our pal, former Yankees and Orioles reporter and Boston Girl Jen Royle to discuss what went wrong, who should be managing the team next season and why you should root for John Lackey (really!). I'm half shitfaced through the thing, so there are the prerequisite dick jokes and F-bombs and inappropriate references to luncheon meats.
Red and Denton discuss the general suckiness of the 2012 Red Sox, while trying to figure out if this team is worthy to be called the worst Red Sox team of our lifetime. Also: swear words.
One of our favorite local media types, the great Jen Royle, joins us once again for another inane exploration of all things Red Sox. Topics discussed, in no particular order, include Youk's beard, Buchholz's charity appearance, loud airplanes, restraining orders, Marlon Byrd pornography and basic appliance repair. As a bonus, despite the fact that I am clearly smitten with Ms. Royle, I never use my time-honored "you know, there's more candy in the van" line.
Red and Denton have a few drinks and discuss Opening Day 2012! Guaranteed insight-free! Also, Red does his James Earl Jones impression.
Elvis Costello once said that writing about music is like dancing about architecture. I have no idea what that means but on this episode, we are joined by fellow bloggers Jere of Red Sox Fan From Pinstripe Territory and Allan from Joy of Sox to talk blogs. As in, why do bloggers blog, what drives us, and how much alcohol must we be consuming in our spare time? Fun for all ages, but with swear words.
The great Tom Caron -- that's TC to you, punk -- from NESN joins us for the latest SG Red Sox podcast. Among the subjects covered: Who we'll miss more: JD Drew or Heidi Watney. TC's ingenious plan for how the Red Sox players can finally put 2011 past them (spoiler: it involves hot coals). TC's non-existent "wild side." How Jim Rice gave TC the ultimate compliment. Jenny Dell. Scary-ass beards. How he filled up 28 hours of rain delays in 2011. Jenny Dell. Ned Martin, shirtless, by a pool. Dark ho...
Emmy winner Jen Royle joins Red and Denton to class up the joint, discussing the Red Sox, Baltimore, Joe Maddon, her charity date auction exploits and how when a guy tells you "There's more candy in the van," it's usually a red flag. Listen. Learn. Enjoy.
The great Heidi Watney joins Red to discuss her time with NESN covering the Red Sox, hint at future plans, and explain how you can win her at the Project Cupid Charity Date Auction. Red somehow makes it through the whole damn thing without proposing or breaking down crying, and that makes us kinda proud. Kinda.
In this episode, WEEI's Mike Adams joins Red and Denton to make some bold predictions for the 2012 Red Sox. May include profanity and Daisuke Matsuzaka references.
The episode in which Red and Denton ask "what the hell happened to the Red Sox in September." And ponder a world in which Carl Crawford and John Lackey come alive in the postseason. And what's up with the Sullivan Tire guy's hair.
Red and Denton talk about the Red Sox' insane resurgence over the last three games of the Texas series. We also talk about hurricanes, pimp our upcoming Jimmy Fund event and explain why "Laverne & Shirley" never recovered from Shirley's departure.
Red and Denton step aside for legitimate insight from Stewart O'Nan, co-author (with Stephen King) of "Faithful." Somehow we manage to discuss 2004, 2007, JD Drew, Denton's community service and how the Sox will fare this summer in the span of 35 minutes.
Red and Denton disuss the Red Sox' recent reversal of fortune. However, it isn't long before the conversation spirals into desperate pleas for sponsorships, Denton's penchant for physical exams, and the argument for "kneecapping" John Lackey.
It's a question that we, as fans, need to ask ourselves. In convenient podcast form.
Red and Denton are joined by guest blogger Beth from CursedtoFirst.com to talk Red Sox, and together they tackle such fascinating and drug-induced topics as the peril of being picked to win it all, where Josh Beckett's head is at, what we can expect from Lester and Buccholz (beyond gaining the power of flight or shooting lightning bolts from their fingers), why you never discount the Yankees and why we will all -- every one of us -- eventually make love to Terry Francona. Okay, we made up the la...
Red and Denton discuss the joys of spring training, why JD Drew's 2007 ALCS grand slam isn't more famous, and what Ozzie Guillen would be like as Red Sox manager. Also, Red imitates Seinfeld narrating your wife having sex with Dave Roberts. Stay classy... with us!
