Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
Who describes choking someone as a “Deepthroat massage”?
Carson Cistulli occasionally publishes spirited ejaculations at The New Enthusiast.
Uh… Ok
Can we agree that Jerry Sullivan sounds like a Canadian?
To paraphrase Jeff Goldblum in Jurrasic Park, “Will there be any baseball in your baseball podcast?” I appreciate the disclaimer you put in your Dayn Perry spots and I avoid them. It would be nice to know when the actual baseball discussion begins. I quit listening 16 minutes in, after discussions of British minors, flashing, and flu-like symptoms.
I would like an overview of what you talk about in each one.
“Will there be any baseball in your baseball podcast?”
And you just know, YOU JUST KNOW, the first thing they talked about when the recording stopped was the playoffs. Once again, we are forced to ask the question: for whom is fangraphs run?
I’m only 75 seconds in, but to Carson’s credit, he teases his conversation with Jeff using an audio clip of Jeff Sullivan telling sandstone to “suck it.” So its not like you were getting completely blindsided by non-baseball related content.
Also, I respect your life choices and also understand that I myself have very niche tastes, but the conversations with Dayn are so good. You really should reconsider not listening.
DYAC British miners.
Oh my god, you guys. It’s the middle of the playoffs. Save some sprezzatura for the offseason?
I enjoyed this program.
Carson, you dithering dolt. Why the sweet Mary is Fangraphs Audio rarely about baseball?
Attention commenters:
Leave Fangraphs Audio alone!
Don’t change a damn thing.
I am in the odd position of wanting both MORE podcasts like these, and more baseball podcasts with Carson or Dave/Jeff.
More podcasts!
I love these podcasts. pls more
