Drinking Inside the Box

We are back after a forced hiatus, with work, a bad storm, and some bad planning on the patreon side.  We discuss the finals of the two international tournaments (and there is ALOT here), the beginning of the Olympics, the UEFA racist sanctions, and the big transfers of the season (if there are any yet).  We of course, sprinkle in our own flavors and have a bit of fun with the poop river of France...

Episode 3 of the American Scouser merge and we get things kicking with the happenings and updates all surrounding the two major international tournaments in their final stages.  We podcasted before England vs Netherland and Colombia vs Uruguay but there was still plenty to discuss.  Touching on Suarez's involvement, or lack of, with Uruguay, the ref appointment for the Euro Semi, and an updat...

Intro and Outro set but man they are LOUD! Between Kelly's ghost and Gordo's cursory grasp at the controls this podcast just manages to stay on the rails but it is chalk-full of EURO and COPA content.  The highs, the lows, the in-betweens, and, of course, Kelly's hatred for Harry Kane.  Tune into our second installment of the pre-season of trail and error! Hopefully your ear drums s...

We are BACK and better than ever.  A little earlier than we usually are but that's because we have some exciting news! We are now brought to you by American Scouser.  On Thursdays you have the opportunity to jump into American Scouser's Patreon to see our ugly mugs in a video version of the podcast.  We will still be available on all the podcast app on Friday, just like normal.  Througho...

With many managers moving on or being fired, Klopp stands out.  His farewell celebration eclipsed City's historic 4th title on the bounce in both media and turnout.  It is everything good and meaningful about football in our opinions.  It's not about the trophies or the awards, it's about the feelings in the small moments of magic.  An FA Cup run (Coventry), a crucial relegation sur...

Never thought we'd shed tears on a podcast about football. Then again, never expected to get so attached to a manager.  With Jurgen Klopp's final game in charge on the horizon, and nothing to play for, it's all a bit emotional in the DITBox pod-room.  Don't worry though, we leave it until the very end, so you can still get the expected, most biased unbiased analysis of the week...

Ahhh the UCL has widdled down to it's last two contestants, Harry Kane joins a team who hasn't gone trophy-less since 2012 and properly showed them how to do it.  The EFL seasons are coming to a close and the playoffs are heating up.  The premier league is experiencing a 3 way race for 1 place at the bottom and a two way race for the top.  What a magical time it is. Season's hopes a...

UCL Semis, Title race still on the burner, and the relegation battle is spicy.  We cover it all and take a trip to Yorkshire to discover the rich footballing history as well as the overall sporting history of the area that quite a few clubs call home. As we wind the season down it appears the refs just don't give a shit about red cards anymore. I'd say officiating as well but they haven&...

Oh the pod has devolved with the lunacy of the run in.  Although Liverpool's fate has since been sealed we don't know that yet upon recording so come laugh at us being optimistic.  Regardless, we talk FA Cup action and all the fascinating relegation battling results.  We try to guess each other's thoughts and marvel over how Dean Henderson can go from hero to zero overnight despite...

UCL action boils down to the semis sans English teams, and Liverpool's miracle story book ending for Jurgen sees it's wheels fall off.   Tottenham lose and Villa take the points at Arsenal.  Just when you thought you had the season cornered it throws up some incredible turns.  Burnley's keeper has a wonder game marred by an OG and, despite being 4-0 up, Chelsea children have a spat...

We started off on an awful topic in our pre-pod conversation but we were able to quickly bounce back with all the glorious action and bring you the "sexy-side" of the sport.  We've got goals, goals, goals, and an almighty relegation battle weekend.  Points grabbed and lost at the death of a handful of games and we cover it all.  From the bummerfest of City vs Arsenal to the glory of...

Have you ever wondered about our playing careers?  Ever wonder what movies inspire us?  Ever wonder if Kelly has peed herself during practice?  No, neither have we but we are telling you anyways.  For the final international break before the end of the season, we decided to play a short version of 21 questions all relating to our sports lives.  Some answers make us laugh, some bring up tearful mom...

International break has begun but not before a few spicy FA Cup ties and a few boring EPL matches.  Honors were split between the two competitions and so was the berth of the action.  We dive into all the action this week and go on a few rants about a certain game.  We discuss the points deduction, the Spanish raids, and all the goals from the English domestic competitions from the weekend.  We ev...

In a week where the table sees a new leader, we were privy to witness a masterclass in tactics and skill in Pep and Jurgen's last Premier League meeting.  Although the spoils were shared it was nothing short of what we expect when these two teams face off.  Arsenal took advantage of the fight and snuck into the lead on their 2024 goal difference boost.  Big games at the bottom of the table al...

In a week where we both had trouble picking a worst game, their was a standout worst performance.  In Arsenal's 2024 new year, new me look, they've won 7 prems on the bounce by a combined score of 31-3, smashing an awful excuse for a team at Sheffield.  The Gunners are defiantly benefiting from the spotlight being fixed on Liverpool and Man City, but as Gordon warns, if they keep this ve...

This week was packed with three different domestic competitions, two prem weekends, FA Cup 5th round, AND of course, the small matter of the Carabao Cup Final.  If that wasn't enough action for you then I don't know which sport you should follow because it doesn't get more exciting than that. Maidstone's fairy tale comes to a fiery end, City smashes Luton, and Man United and Li...

Uncle Roy kicked the bucket, or at least pretended to.  In one of the most OG moves from the almost 80 year old loveable owl-man, Roy faked his own death to expertly avoid the thunderous rumors he was on his way out of Palace.  Shouting at the haters with a wink, "Can't fire me if I'm dead".  The move was akin to faking sick on the day of the big 2nd grade math exam and we appl...

Instead of going out and enjoying the loving embrace of someone special's company, we decided to podcast because, love for this sport is all we need.  We discuss the return of Champions League, the possibility that Kane has brought the Spurs juju to Munich, and a title race that continues to heat up.  And I would be remise to not mention the spicy Kelvin Phillips vs Pep FATgate. So throw the...

Maybe one of the lowest days in DITBox history and yet we managed to get in the studio and record.  Our happiness is bringing you content and, honestly, it was therapeutic.  One of the reasons we HAD to get onto the mics was the record goal weekend! We saw 8 of the 10 games have 4+ goals and only 1 game fail to record 3., *cough cough* looking at you BOU vs NFO.  We had two English kids verbally c...

Yes, Gordon made a massive error last week and lost the audio file for the podcast!  We apologize for missing you all last week.  And just when we wanted to go and throw an extra special episode out for you all, Jurgen Klopp decides to quit on us! Hard to get excited about anything when a member of your family tells you they're not coming back.  OK, OK, not that serious but it was giving us m...

As the temperature plummets to well below freezing, we decided to pod virtually again.  In a week with only five games, we still manage to squeeze in a solid 90 mins.  Of course we get a little side tracked on account of Kelly's birthday, but hey, when don't we? In this episode we discuss the return of KDB and what it means to the season, Aston Villa's legitimacy, AFCON, and a heart...

Back in studio with nothing to talk about on the EPL front.  However, there was plenty of domestic action to discuss along with one or two beer bottles being thrown.  Both figuratively and literally.  Tay Swift, the question of existence, and a shocking revelation in the condiment industry all squeeze their way into the podcast as well. Proving once again, we don't need much to fill a podcast...

Back in the saddle again after a nice holiday break.  Refreshed and ready to ignore the three weeks of matches and focus on Week 20.  The topsy-turvy table shake up from Pre-Christmas to New Year's Day was something to behold.  Although we can be assured that the return of KDB, Erling, and Pep's impeccable second half form might leave everyone in the dust, we can at least enjoy the leap-...

Yes, you read that right.  We saddle up and take 5 shots to match the reds received this weekend, 3 courtesy of VAR upgrades.  Of course as the shots increase so do our tangents but we manage to pack all the weekend action into the episode.  From the lack luster Liverpool to the wholesome Roy Hodgson smile, we have you covered for match week 17.  If you try to keep up with us over the holiday week...

13 goals in 7 days for high flying Fulham, two clean sheets and an almost historic night at Anfield, does it get any better? Well yes, because now they get us to hype them up in our newest podcast episode. We do our best to cover 20 games over the last 5 days and remember how the world-wind of 9 available points in the blink of an eye shaped the table. Just like that Everton almost erase the 10 po...
