Drinking Inside the Box

Halaand beaks a record, Liverpool break Arsenal, Grandpa Roy breaks his wife's heart, and the lower leagues are heating up.  There is so much to unpack here and it's all so juciy you're gonna need a napkin.  We literally take you from the depths of the National League title race, to the pantheon that is UEFA Champions League knock out rounds and everything in between.  If you love h...

Easter is around the corner and the goals are hopping in, unless you were watching the Chelsea vs Liverpool game.  The goals were hopping and the red cards were popping, and so were we.  We pulled out the chocolate whiskey shots this week and toasted to our hot headed EPL players.  We cover everything from Doucoure's finger in Kane's eye to the Ramadan debate, this one is all over the pl...

No EPL, no fun, right? Wrong, Kelly and Gordon pop open the hard MTDs and go to town on some of the best happenings of the week.  Despite no domestic league action there was still so much to discuss.  We go from the Conte sacking to inviting everyone to an open bar esc tailgate sponsored by the pod.  There's something for everyone in this episode, even the home ruiners...er... wreckers.  What...

Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup, AND the EPL!  How the hell can we fit all this into one episode? Especially with 6 red cards, so many late goals, table twists, and the cherry on top, an most epic rant from one of the top clubs.  This is a very meaty podcast, so much so that we recorded twice, well only once thanks to the bonehead that produces this thing.  Crack open a cold one, or three...

The weekend went from bad to worse as we witnessed our beloved Liverpool fall to Bournemouth mere days after the United thumping.  Then we had to sit through a breakfast of the podcast criticisms we so desperately thought we craved.  But we got over it pretty quickly with some dyed green vodka shots for the two reds.  Relive the Premier League action and hear us get so drunk that we praise Richarl...

You read that right, this week we discuss the traffic cone scenarios of Arsenal vs Everton and Liverpool vs Manchester United, the unbelievable new level of oil Traore has achieved, and a couple of VERY big birthday shout outs.  We also rank all 12 games and 37 goals.  It was an action packed week that saw the FA Cup, Europe, and Premier League take place.  Ivan Toney goes on the offensive and PSG...

The return of the mics!  Kelly and Gordon go full throttle into a less than full throttle weekend. Eight games due to the Carabao Cup final, and nothing really to write home about unless you're a West Ham fan.  We talk the final, the games, the goals, and the Graham.  Both our Graham and Potter, both troubled, one by an under achieving team and the other by an underachieving son.  So crack a...

Apologies upfront, there was a power surge a few minutes into recording and it killed our microphones.  We didn't realize this because the feedback from our mics to our headphones sounded fine but the connect to our recording studio was cut off.  This one is rough to hear.  If somehow you manage to work through it, first off, we love you, secondly, you'll hear us discuss the biggest 9am...

Due to Valentine's Day, our schedules didn't match an we sufficed for a remote pod.  We discussed enough action to distract us from the fact that we weren't in the same room while recording.  Brentford's top of the table form, Brighton, Palace, Spurs, Newcastle, and Liverpool all get their shout outs as well.  We couldn't leave out the top of the table mid-week clash betwe...

The happenings dominate this episode.  City accused of 100 breaches of financial misdoings from the EPL, Turkey and Syria rocked by earthquakes, and Jesse Marsch becomes the 8th manager to be sacked this season.  The only person more confused then Kelly in this episode is Weston McKinnie.  Kelly forgot her notes and Weston joined Leeds presumably to play under an American coach.  He did, but only...

We promised we wouldn't do it again and that promise only lasted about 10 episodes.  Hot Cocoa Part-B (With Alcohol),  We FINALLY discuss Frank Lampard's dismissal, all of the Jan Transfers, and the FA Cup Fourth Round action.  Kelly's dad points out how great it would be to have my dad on the podcast to help our numbers, and my dad chimes in with some Brentford and Southampton hist...

Back in studio and back on Frank Lampard's back!  The old hand has gone and done it again.  Taken a Blue team and dropped them right into the shitter and lost his job for it.  This one isn't all on Frank though as the board, who holds most of the blame, did not support him or the club.  Regardless, we get into all the deets and dirty rumors surrounding Everton.  Let's be honest here...

And just like that we're back remotely.  Someone had to go an have a birthday on the one day our schedules lined up.  Happy Birthday Kelly!!! Thank you for all you do for the podcast and for keeping it as real.  In this episode we break down what felt like 9 derbies and a Liverpool beat down.  Manchester United's home resurgence post Ronaldo, Arsenal's grip on the league tightening,...

The gang is back in studio and it feels so good.  However, the hiatus from in-person podcasting made producer Gordon a little rusty and he forgot to record from the mics.  Despite sounding like the podcast was recorded underwater, it is a very packed, very funny episode.  We discuss the continued struggles of Ronaldo, the FA Cup action, and last week's prem games that we had been seething ove...

Happy New Year DITBoxers!!! In the weirdest week of football, in the weirdest limbo week of the year, Kelly and Gordon make it even more difficult for you by only talking about the weekend fixtures.  If you can remember way back to 2022 the games that took place on the weekend of the new year, we saw plenty of action, plenty of goals, and, of course, this season's shockers continued.  We also...

The Prem has returned and Kelly and Gordon spare no time in getting right back into it.  It's a long one because, why the hell not?! Hopefully you're as excited as we are to relive Week 17 action.  From the underage drinking, to the goals galore, to the red cards, to Pep kicking water bottles at anything that moves these days, we cover it all.  So crack open a cold one and let's rin...

Gordon returns to the Pod but the gang is still virtual due to the lingering sickness.  Kelly and Gordon don't let that stop them from filling your ear holes on Christmas weekend with the sounds from the greatest World Cup Finals ever and the excitement of the EPL's return for Boxing day.  Of course there's the small matter of the Carabao Cup to discuss as well.  Kelly even gives ev...

Better late then never.  A bad round of flu kept Gordon down this week and derailed the podcast.  Our apologies for the late release, but so grateful to Kelly and Graham who took over the entire thing this week AND submitted it on time for a regular Friday drop.  In this episode Kelly dives into the quarters and semi finals of the WC 2022 and makes some predictions on the outcome of the final. She...

The group stage ends, the round of 16 closes and Kelly and Gordon sweep up the stories and drama from the games that went forward.  From Ronaldo's complete meltdown, to Raheem Sterling's absence, the was almost as much on field as off field to talk about.  We also get the privilege  of hearing this week's Story Behind the Fixture from the man himself.   Unfortunately there are no su...

With so much action to catch up on from the last time we podded this one gets a bit silly.  We do our best to break down all the best highlights some some of round 1, all of round 2, and some of round 3 of the group stages.  We bring up the biggest stories surrounding the World Cup and discuss the biggest shocks and disappointments of the tournament.  

In this week's episode, Kelly went off wildly on a tangent about her second favorite subject of Christmas.  While she tried hard at first to link it to the tournament, she quickly got to her real point of movies.  I would have put it in the bloopers at the end, but it was almost 7 mins and it was too good to lose.  So, with today being December 1st, here's a little Xmas gift from us at D...

Happy thanksgiving all! Here is a run down of the first few days of the World Cup action, the good, mostly the bad, and the American!  We break down Group A-D's first matches and look ahead to the rest of the group's first taste of Qatar.  Off the field there is still a lot to unpacked and we try to bring you as many of those developing stories as we can.  I hope you and your families ha...

As the EPL season takes a weird break for the weird winter World Cup, Kelly and Gordon try to seamlessly end the EPL and introduce the World Cup.  They survived, but just barely.  Join us on the treacherous journey to wrap up the weekend action and take a dive into what to expect next week as the nations descend on 90 degree Qatar.  We talk about the United kid winner, the sloppy goals, the Bourne...

Kelly and Gordon produce their first remote pod of the season.  There may be some volume differences as Gordon keeps quiet to avoid waking the baby but the duo manage to carry on the conversation.  Much in part due to the phenomenal weekend of EPL action.  5 PKs, 37 goals, 5 post 80th minute goals, and 2 red cards.  They also touch base on Carabao Cup and the European competitions which both drew...

If Liverpool keep losing these relegation battles we will have to change the name to just Drinking.  In a week where Arsenal takes out their frustration by kicking some trees, KDB reminding us why he's so special, and Aston Villa's high plummets to a new low, Kelly and Gordon dust themselves off and examine all the action from the weekend.  Kelly is forced to admit that Rodgers has right...
