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!

You sort of mumbled, had a hard time hearing you...

I want my money back. Jokes aside, great piece as always Jeff.

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?

Well that wasn't awkward at all
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.

You can only kill yourself once, you know
I can comeback in flashbacks the next season that cause Matthew to commit himself in a very luxurious mental health institution
As long as he does it with his webcam running we can replay it to our hearts content.
Being able to kill myself just once is currently my greatest comedic limitation
Well, that and your accent...
I takes a few years on the air to get funny
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.

With John?

This could be awesome.

I think a podcast with you and Robert would be entertaining.
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.
What does the "Z" in "Zanarchy" refer to?
Zany
Alright, you earned your rec.

Another appropriate response would have been “Zonked”.

Meaning I wanted you to do a drunk podcast.
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.

Or at least till our ratings crash then think of Night Line with Ted Koppel meets the man show post-Adam Carolla
He already is doing them at work.
I think it's because we're so racist
If you need a straight man I need a forum for a comeback
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.
I'll fill your hard time.
Week one:

Discussion of rashes!

Podcasts with 3 people are hard
I'm interested in how you go about it being in three different places.
I mostly sit back and let Jeff and Matthew talk

No one wants to hear me talk out of my ass about the Mariners.

You, sir, seem unfamiliar with the very concept of radio
I should start recording podcasts about random subjects and my opinions of them

thereby achieving instant fame.

Can you yell?
Yell and sound like I mean it

I have so much outrage.

Outrage over what?
Whatever's topical

I can misrepresent facts and vilify strangers with the best of em.

You can always talk about your older brother.
That's the spirit
Billy Mays redux?
Haven't you heard some of his podcasts?

All he does is go of swearing at random times. ; )

Hey retard learn to type.
The one thing I don't get about the above

Why is it a video?

You'd have to ask them

But this is their setup.

Did you notice them passing notes while talking to you?
That guy on the left REALLY wanted to show off his flanel
I think I may have figured out how to do a live show.

Though it might have serious delay issues.

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.

Conference call!
Oh yeah, Kotchman is a Mariner. I'd forgotten.
How could you forget about my favorite player
I was busy thinking about Chone and Hannahan
I'll forgive you this time
Yeah, the "WTF Kotchman" moment completely stepped on the glory of the Gootch contract.

That actually pissed me off.

Please tell me that my accent isn't that bad.
You say chapter funny
I enjoy your accent
I wouldn't say *bad*. I'd say it's similar.
Fairly similar.
The hell

I’ve been out here for 13 years. Why won’t it just let me be normal :(

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.

I started noticing it a couple months ago and I have lived with him for a year now so it takes a while.
The thing standing between you and normal isn't your accent, sweetheart.
stupid elephant penis >:(
You two make a fanstastic comedy duo.

I am trying not to laugh too hard at work.

I'm looking for the fly in my compliment soup.
Do your nuts ride shotgun?
Great stuff, Jeff.

Based on this I still have no idea why people say you mumble.

I have no problem understanding him at all.
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.

Did you drive through a tunnel or something at the 4 minute mark?
I did this outside and I work like 2 miles from Miramar
Your my wife?
I've never slept with Shrug
....nevermind I don't get it.
nevermind I do get it.

I was really over thinking this one.

You son of bitch!

Kotchman has had family troubles?

He and Lopez will get along famously.

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.

At KLOL you host a Love Line type show with Corco so that would be quite the obscure question to ask Jeff.
The problem I have with these comments is that I honestly believe that you believe that this exists.
Nice glasses, Jeff.

And great ventriloquism.

Oh… that’s not you on the left? My bad.

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)?

Because everyone involved at LF and DH is already left-handed.
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.

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.

We're the San Fransisco Giants of the AL!
Except we hit a lot better than they do
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.
