Episode LXI: Skeletons in Baseball’s Fucking Closet

In Episode LXI, Kolsky and Frei dive into some baseball issues — none of which, much to Frei’s chagrin, have really anything to do with the actual sport of baseball — and also debut some new production sound before finishing you off with a little NFL Draft and NBA Playoff chatter… This episode includes Kolsky ranting and raving like a lunatic about the US Government’s bad behavior — don’t worry, just close your eyes and it will be over before you know it!!

Enjoy!

Episode LIII: Kobe Bryant, Quarterbacks, and Motherfucking Mojo

In Episode LIII, Kolsky and Bonta are feeling ESPECIALLY Superfly (sorry, had to) and utilize their own mojo to discuss NFL quarterback play, followed by a long debate on the role of momentum and “it” factor  in sports and specifically the MLB playoffs, with some Kobe Bean breakdown thrown in at the end… Neither Bonta nor Kolsky may be headed to the hall of fame, but they know their roles — they’re definitely NOT gonna hurt the team!!!

Episode LII: It’s Fucking Playoff Time aka Don’t Fucking Hate

In Episode LII, Kolsky and Bonta take another drive — this time Bonta is taking Kolsky TO the airport (he’s a hell of a guy) and they discuss the Major League Baseball playoffs, the virtues of the In & Out Burger and various other subjects… And then they discussed Derek Jeter at length, but– well, you’ll see. Some portions of this episode have been redacted — but as far as you know, EVERY episode is largely redacted, so just pretend you don’t even know!!!

Episode LI: ESPN and the Fucking Death of Sports Journalism

In Episode LI, Kolsky and Bonta return with some general talk about the MLB playoffs and some of their usual self-referential bullshit before a debate about Bill Simmons and his suspension at the hands of ESPN’s management takes things over down the stretch… Luckily there’s nobody overseeing this shit-show, so the boys can say whatever the hell they want without fear of suspension — in related knews, they may both be looking for work in the very near future…

Episode XXXI: Sorry We’re Fucking Late

In Episode XXXI, Kolsky and Hopkins are at the KNBR studios in downtown San Francisco for a slightly abbreviated episode that includes extensive Revisions & Improvements (featuring 1980’s soap operas and Harry Caray) and a new episode of Shit Happens at the High School Level (or at least something like that)… This episode IS two days late, but in a weird twist of the classic idiom it’s actually a dollar in surplus!!!

Episode XXX: It’s A Fucking Horse-Dog

In Episode XXX, Kolsky and Hopkins completely fail to mention that it’s FUCKING EPISODE TRIPLE-X… Poor form, gentlemen… Ahem…

In Episode XXX, Kolsky and Hopkins enjoy some advice from The Boss, spend some quality time addressing a television commercial that appears to be promoting inter-species breeding experiments, and discuss a Top 25 Baseball Announcers of All-Time list, with special focus on a guy who didn’t even deserve the “Honorable Mention” slot that was given to him… Hey Stoney, Fucking Sports spelled backwards is Strop Gnikcuf!!!

Episode XIV: Boysenberry Fucking Benz

In Episode XIV, Kolsky and Hopkins cover a laundry list of Revisions & Improvements, reprise “We’ve Got To Talk About This Fucking Music,” and then dive deep into some hardcore sports topics (the Marlins’ empty stadium, the difficulties of DVRing sporting events, etc) before analyzing Kolsky’s relationship with Channing Tatum… Family, mantlepiece… Pull up in the Mickey Mantle fleece… (that will make only slightly more sense later)…

Episode XII: Gerrie Motherfucking Burke

In Episode XII, Kolsky and Hopkins travel to the fine city of San Francisco, where they visit one Gerrie Burke — radio veteran and consummate degenerate. After yet another recording gone wrong (at a certain point, it’s hard to believe there is any radio experience in this group) they journey through time and space to travel the road of Gerrie’s bizarre life and career in radio… This is Part 1B (a companion piece to the forever lost Part 1A) of an ongoing, multi-part, to-be-continued Gerrie Burke podcast… Don’t let him scare you, he doesn’t bite. Usually…

Episode X: About Fucking Time!

In Episode X, Kolsky and Hopkins agree on an awesome band, talk about horse racing (and why it has become something that nobody gives a flying fuck about anymore) and also tackle the news of baseball augmenting their instant replay capabilities (conclusion — it’s about fucking time)… This podcast and about $2.00 will get you on a city bus!!

Enjoy!

p.s. Extra credit for figuring out how the title of this episode is a double entendre!!
