One Way Conversation

The disgraceful political jockeying around pipe bombs...Sox come out of the cold up 2...NY Giants in the acceptance stage...The Brockness Monster in Houston...Darius Miles is OK...Malcolm Jenkins writing on the Jags bulletin board. Panic in the parking lot.

Talking Monday & Tuesday’s problems. Addressing that sad birthday party in Arizona. Life lesson: own your fuck ups. Lottery madness. Sox - Dodgers. Have a great day.

Due to some technical errors I couldn’t air what was recorded this morning. So I taped a quick what’s up on my walk to work.

Honestly debated even putting this one up. Not gonna lie: it’s bad. Decided it was a good learning experience though & the rookie mistakes are part of this cast. The risk is this: If this is the first episode you listen to you may never listen to me again. Tomorrow will be better and that’s a promise.

In an uneven episode we have some trouble getting used to new obstacles in the podcast game, talk about when it’s OK to rush, about getting duped by click bait, Sox in the series, Thursday night football dud, Lakers, Islanders, try to get back on track with NFL picks and then the obstacles throw me off my game to take us to the weekend with a feeble ending to an otherwise good show.

Irrational fear of being a parent...we go off the rails and things get a little heavy for a minute...pushing through to sports & going at Counsell/Roberts: baseball geniuses. Sox/Stros...trying (failing) to make Isles & Nets interesting, special Road Rage edition of Unwritten Rules of the Road (tm) and a TNF pick. Have a great day.

Fighting the dumb dad narrative, fixing shit around the house, The Romanoffs, Dodgers-Brewers, Machado, replay reviews, we beat some speed traps & John Mara/Odell. Preaching patience & my patience is tested.

Talking a bit about Monday Night Football...attacking the hot take machine after feeding it. Blake Bortles vs Eli Manning. Questioning the currency of social media. We witness the aftermath of an accident and then finish up with some final thoughts on Eli.

Weekend recap, I give advice & act to the contrary. I get advice & he acts to the contrary. Quick NFL recap. Unwritten Rules of the Road (tm).

I lament my imminent cause of death, wonder about the accuracy of experts, navigate through Mianus and NFL Picks.

Recounting Tuesday’s problems...rallying against Metro North...final thoughts on the 2018 Yankees & being optimistic for no reason.

Slow start talking Yankees-Red Sox, Brees, modern day SportsCenter but a strong finish with a rant on imbeciles in supermarkets. Bad recording, this collar kept hitting mic, lesson learned. We’ll give this a C+ on the strength of the last segment.

Recapping the weekend including Yanks, Giants, trying a pumpkin beer for the first time & getting mildly philosophical when talking about why I started podcasting & life lessons (never too late to learn).

We start with a theory on who my listeners are...talk a little Australian Pink Floyd & give out picks for week 5 in the NFL

Complaints about the neighbors & kids at the bus stop. Recapping the Yankee wild card game & looking ahead to Boston. TNF pick at the buzzer. Giving this installment a C.

Learning a valuable lesson about doing this on no sleep, Cubs-Rockies, Yanks & Severino. What’s at stake for Stanton in a 1 game playoff & I forget Gleyber Torres is the second baseman. Rambling finish. C- episode. Thanks for listening.

Ranting about the neighbors, the Cubs, Tuesday’s at work, the rough week for drinkers, pick for the Yanks WC starter & a late Unwritten Rules of the Road (TM). Grading this cast a high C.

The Commuter has a weird dream, curses out the Chargers & reads an inspirational quote off a mug.

In this episode the Commuter introduces himself & touches on teaching his son about sports, the Rams/Vikings game, Unwritten Rules of the Road (tm), gives 3 NFL picks for week 4 then rambles about the plight of drunks in light of yesterday’s hearing. C- podcast.
