Earlier today I spent 20 minutes chatting with Tom and Paul of HotStove.com. If you'd like to look at them while listening to me, watch the video below:
Covering topics like Cliff Lee, Felix Hernandez, Casey Kotchman, and most everything else. Personally, I really enjoyed this, because my coworker from Long Island quit last week and I'd gone through withdrawals. Bless you, Paul. I also enjoyed it because as I stood outside talking on the phone, I got to exchange waves with my company's CEO, who didn't realize he was paying me for this.
I hope you guys enjoy this sort of thing, because we're looking to start doing more of it. Later today we'll be posting a trial podcast Matthew and I did yesterday with Field Gulls' John Morgan.

Neato.
Jeff’s disembodied voice!
SethGrandpa - January 20, 2010
You sort of mumbled, had a hard time hearing you...
I want my money back. Jokes aside, great piece as always Jeff.
dkulich - January 20, 2010
I clicked around their website a little bit, but couldn't find a way to download it in MP3 form.
Do you know if it’s possible?
appleshampoo - January 20, 2010
Well that wasn't awkward at all
OlSalty - January 20, 2010
As the Producer of The LLate Day Show With Jeff Sullivan And Friends,
I assure you that I will go to great lengths to keep the audience entertained.
Robert - January 20, 2010
You can only kill yourself once, you know
OlSalty - January 20, 2010
I can comeback in flashbacks the next season that cause Matthew to commit himself in a very luxurious mental health institution
Robert - January 20, 2010
As long as he does it with his webcam running we can replay it to our hearts content.
ToddK - January 20, 2010
Being able to kill myself just once is currently my greatest comedic limitation
Robert - January 20, 2010
Well, that and your accent...
ToddK - January 20, 2010
I takes a few years on the air to get funny
Poochie - January 20, 2010
Podcasts?
Next thing you know, I’ll be seeing you guys on cable or something nutso like that. What do you think you are, legitimate journalists?
I’m kidding, of course. Keep up the great work.
Ike Clanton - January 20, 2010
With John?
This could be awesome.
Scruffy Lefty - January 20, 2010
I think a podcast with you and Robert would be entertaining.
Kirk - January 20, 2010
I've thrown out the idea of "60 seconds of Zanarchy with Robert & Fogel" at production meetings but it's been met with some resistance.
Robert - January 20, 2010
What does the "Z" in "Zanarchy" refer to?
Kirk - January 20, 2010
Zany
Robert - January 20, 2010
Alright, you earned your rec.
Another appropriate response would have been “Zonked”.
Kirk - January 20, 2010
Meaning I wanted you to do a drunk podcast.
Kirk - January 20, 2010
TLDSWJSAF is going to strive to as legitimate as possible.
We owe it to our followers to put a professional product out there. Think Night Line with Ted Koppel.
Robert - January 20, 2010
Or at least till our ratings crash then think of Night Line with Ted Koppel meets the man show post-Adam Carolla
Robert - January 20, 2010
He already is doing them at work.
Scruffy Lefty - January 20, 2010
I think it's because we're so racist
Dewey N - January 20, 2010
If you need a straight man I need a forum for a comeback
Poochie - January 20, 2010
How bout you submit your resume and we will look over it if we have any openings that we are having a hard time filling.
Robert - January 20, 2010
I'll fill your hard time.
Scruffy Lefty - January 20, 2010
Week one:
Discussion of rashes!
Scruffy Lefty - January 20, 2010
Podcasts with 3 people are hard
Jeff Sullivan - January 20, 2010
I'm interested in how you go about it being in three different places.
Kirk - January 20, 2010
Skype
Janic - January 20, 2010
I mostly sit back and let Jeff and Matthew talk
No one wants to hear me talk out of my ass about the Mariners.
John Morgan - January 20, 2010
You, sir, seem unfamiliar with the very concept of radio
Jeff Sullivan - January 20, 2010
I should start recording podcasts about random subjects and my opinions of them
thereby achieving instant fame.
John Morgan - January 20, 2010
Can you yell?
Matthew - January 20, 2010
Yell and sound like I mean it
I have so much outrage.
John Morgan - January 20, 2010
Outrage over what?
Dewey N - January 20, 2010
Whatever's topical
I can misrepresent facts and vilify strangers with the best of em.
John Morgan - January 20, 2010
You can always talk about your older brother.
Scruffy Lefty - January 20, 2010
That's the spirit
Dewey N - January 20, 2010
Billy Mays redux?
ToddK - January 20, 2010
Haven't you heard some of his podcasts?
All he does is go of swearing at random times. ; )
Coach Owens - January 20, 2010
*Off.
Coach Owens - January 20, 2010
Hey retard learn to type.
Robert - January 20, 2010
The one thing I don't get about the above
Why is it a video?
John Morgan - January 20, 2010
You'd have to ask them
But this is their setup.
Jeff Sullivan - January 20, 2010
Did you notice them passing notes while talking to you?
Dewey N - January 20, 2010
That guy on the left REALLY wanted to show off his flanel
OlSalty - January 20, 2010
I think I may have figured out how to do a live show.
Though it might have serious delay issues.
Scruffy Lefty - January 20, 2010
Cool
They’re really good guys. I was on with them Monday, but the audio apparently got fucked up, so we’ve basically gotta re-do it.
gregrabble - January 20, 2010
Conference call!
.Taylor - January 20, 2010
Oh yeah, Kotchman is a Mariner. I'd forgotten.
royalcurve - January 20, 2010
How could you forget about my favorite player
Dewey N - January 20, 2010
I was busy thinking about Chone and Hannahan
royalcurve - January 20, 2010
I'll forgive you this time
Dewey N - January 20, 2010
Atta boy
royalcurve - January 20, 2010
Yeah, the "WTF Kotchman" moment completely stepped on the glory of the Gootch contract.
That actually pissed me off.
Kermit. - January 20, 2010
Please tell me that my accent isn't that bad.
Robert - January 20, 2010
You say chapter funny
Dewey N - January 20, 2010
I enjoy your accent
Jeff Sullivan - January 20, 2010
I wouldn't say *bad*. I'd say it's similar.
royalcurve - January 20, 2010
Fairly similar.
abender20 - January 20, 2010
The hell
I’ve been out here for 13 years. Why won’t it just let me be normal :(
Robert - January 20, 2010
Honestly I never noticed an accent the few times I've met you.
Now that you’ve mentioned it that’s probably going to be the only thing I notice now.
Kermit. - January 20, 2010
I started noticing it a couple months ago and I have lived with him for a year now so it takes a while.
Kirk - January 20, 2010
The thing standing between you and normal isn't your accent, sweetheart.
royalcurve - January 20, 2010
stupid elephant penis >:(
Robert - January 20, 2010
Right?
royalcurve - January 20, 2010
You two make a fanstastic comedy duo.
I am trying not to laugh too hard at work.
Eyebrows - January 20, 2010 via mobile
I'm looking for the fly in my compliment soup.
royalcurve - January 20, 2010
Do your nuts ride shotgun?
Aaron Campeau - January 20, 2010
Great stuff, Jeff.
Based on this I still have no idea why people say you mumble.
BrianL - January 20, 2010
I have no problem understanding him at all.
Robert - January 20, 2010
I mumble in person because I assume everybody's hearing is as good as mine
I talk louder on the phone because cell phones suck.
Jeff Sullivan - January 20, 2010
Did you drive through a tunnel or something at the 4 minute mark?
BrianL - January 20, 2010
I did this outside and I work like 2 miles from Miramar
Jeff Sullivan - January 20, 2010
Your my wife?
Scruffy Lefty - January 20, 2010
I've never slept with Shrug
Jeff Sullivan - January 20, 2010
....nevermind I don't get it.
Scruffy Lefty - January 20, 2010
nevermind I do get it.
I was really over thinking this one.
You son of bitch!
Scruffy Lefty - January 20, 2010
WHICH IS IT?!
http://www.lookoutlanding.com/2010/1/12/1248763/reflecting-on-the-event#28755083
Matthew - January 20, 2010
I haven't decided
Jeff Sullivan - January 20, 2010
Do more of this.
sirbrianwilson - January 20, 2010
Kotchman has had family troubles?
He and Lopez will get along famously.
Mariner John - January 20, 2010
I like how they start by asking you about the actual terms of the contract.
Yeah, that’s why I want to bring Jeff on my show to talk about.
abender20 - January 20, 2010
At KLOL you host a Love Line type show with Corco so that would be quite the obscure question to ask Jeff.
Robert - January 20, 2010
The problem I have with these comments is that I honestly believe that you believe that this exists.
abender20 - January 20, 2010

Robert - January 20, 2010
Nice glasses, Jeff.
And great ventriloquism.
Oh… that’s not you on the left? My bad.
Wilder. - January 20, 2010
Jeff, why exactly would someone like Damon be a bad idea?
I heard you say we have too many lefty bats, but looking at the lineup as currently constructed, only Ichiro, Kotchman, and Langerhans/Saunders are solely left handed.
Plus Ichiro hits everybody, and Kotchman really hasnt shown a difference when facing LHP vs RHP.
Would Damon splitting time with Bradley between LF and DH really be a waste of money (lets say it’s a one year deal for 7-8 million)?
Rudy4three - January 20, 2010
Because everyone involved at LF and DH is already left-handed.
Matthew - January 20, 2010
Obviously everything changes depending on how low his price gets
But Johnny Damon doesn’t add a whole lot, and if you bring him in then either Bradley’s role is reduced or Griffey’s totally out of a job. As Matthew said, too many lefties.
Jeff Sullivan - January 20, 2010
Well, wouldn't really care much about Griffey having a job, but I see your point about too many lefties
in that LF/DH rotation.
Rudy4three - January 20, 2010
We're the San Fransisco Giants of the AL!
Jackle Mackle - January 20, 2010
Except we hit a lot better than they do
seattlebruin - January 21, 2010
Which is truly incredible

Hot Stove Video
We have made some changes to the video look after reading some of the funny comments here. I want to thank everyone for watching it and for hinting that we needed to make some tweeks! We can’t wait to have Jeff on HotStove.com again.
