Times Before Can Be Forgotten

Not thinking for yourself has never been easier. Connery’s solo-podding in the marsh again, doing the reading so you don’t have to. Later today, he’ll be back at Studio 48 with real starpower. Til then, we’re talking about books in a way that’s not normal.

This is our best work—simple pleasures, weekend plans, self-improvement, friendship, and Joe-tani.

The Connerys Three are together again for 50 movies in 40 minutes. Adam is on the hot seat fielding a long list of 80s and 90s films to decide if they are hall of famers or garbage, nostalgia or—God forbid—something he’s never seen. They litigate, argue, and name which of the 50 comprise their respective Mr. Rushmore.

Through gambling, I learned I was just smart enough to know how dumb I probably am.

Even in 2009, social media was deeply tiresome.

The apex and decline of American dissent in novels with a nod towards 21st Century film franchises.

A romantic and unreasonable glimpse of going off-grid, circa 2009.

What to watch: a man getting hit in the crotch with a football or a beheading in the Middle East.

A 2009 piece as to whether or not the UFC would transcend marginalized status—with some help from the kids from Stand By Me.

A never-ending spring rendered in the summer of 2009.

Sixteen years ago—new grad and no hope.

Deciding to begin a blog in 2009: Vonnegut and TV Guide movie descriptions.

Back when the podcast was a blog, we’re traveling 15 years and more than 500 spoken-word essays—all 1,000 words—about processing the age we live in through movies, sports, pop culture, literature, ideas, Boston, nostalgia, travel, and free fucking speech.

Corey, Sittnick, and Connery journey back to a time when books were the most important thing there was (if you were alone and bored with nothing on TV and before you owned any kind of a video game system).

When Caldor wanted a new look, they called Times Before Can Be Forgotten. Before the fucking Internet, the Wild West of Content was the UHF band. The Brothers Connery fight Terry O’Reilly, run through a haunted house with Moe, Larry, and Shemp, and put the Fabulous Moolah in a Camel Clutch to remember everything they can about the magical UHF.

We’re not even going to try and explain it. Join Corey, Sittnick, and Connery for The Dead Draft. We apologize in advance.

One day you’re shooting hoops outside the garage and transcribing the March Madness bracket onto poster board—the next day you’re lamenting how the University of Puerto Rico ended up in the PAC-10 and listening to the tourney on Westwood One AM radio for the sake of nostalgia. Join Joe, Adam, and the other Connery for a look back at all things Big Dance.

In a very special episode of Times Before Can Be Forgotten, the original lineup returns to talk about something their fathers would have berated and beaten them for: well-being. Corey, Sittnick, and Connery aren’t talking politics and no one’s getting cancelled—just exploring how each navigates the brave new world.

The Three Connerys (the big one, the blabbermouth, and the cute one) are guest podding to talk some Super Bowl. Game analysis and predictions? Not a chance. We’re remembering the build-up to the game from decades ago—the hype, the commercials, halftime, and more. Grab a Big Mac and wake up Spuds McKenzie: it’s Times Before Can Be Forgotten.

In the second half of their 2025 kickoff, Corey, Sittnick, and Connery celebrate a lifetime of head trauma and torn ACLs by drafting their all-time NFL fantasy lineup. Listen and vote for a winner—Sittnick or Connery, as we can all presume Corey will finish third.

Corey, Sittnick, and Connery are back to podcast for their third consecutive year, kicking off 2025 with an NFL playoff preview. True to form, the guys look back at the NFL of their childhood before offering what insights they can muster in what can only be called the worst gambling advice available in any form of media.

In part 2 of their year-ending, season-beginning episode of Times Before Can Be Forgotten, Corey, Sittnick, and Connery complete their sweep through Boston media of old, breeze through some more drive-bys of half-forgotten local media personalities, and celebrate one full year of highly unlikely podcasting.

Which Boston AM radio station did you listen to for snow day school cancellations? Was your family a Herald family or Globe? Sports from Bob Lobel or Mike Lynch? WBCN OR WAAF? Imus or Stern? Corey, Sittnick, and Connery are celebrating, not litigating, a lifetime of Boston media. So grab a copy of the Phoenix, see who’s playing at Avalon, and listen to the guys celebrate one year of Times Before C...

The Tyson/Paul fight is over. Times Before Can Be Forgotten may be so much raw AM radio static, but we’re more durable than Netflix. The three Connerys look back on the entire spectacle, name the night’s winners and losers, and begin a GoFundMe for Evander Holyfield’s CTE treatment.

Big brother called an emergency podcast on the eve of Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul. The Brothers Connery invite special guest Joe Connery to chime-in on this generational tilt between a man who will eat your children and a man who’s on YouTube, I guess.
