Pod By the River

Nothing happened in Red Sox news the last week, so the boys obsess over Hogdale's way with the ladies before answering your questions with the help of JustinMLB.

Then, Brady and Ed face off in Pick-A-Side with Justin taking on the role of judge, jury, and executioner. Winner wins, loser dies*. With so much on the line Brady and Ed give it their all. Who will survive?

*This is a lie

Its January and baseball is basically at a standstill, but love is in the air as the boys are joined by iconic Red Sox Twitter legend and Chris Sale's #1 advocate, LadyRedSoxxx, in what turns out to basically be a chaperoned first date between her and Iowa's most eligible bachelor, Hogdale. Hogdale is focused on finally getting a Pick-A-Side win. Can Boston Sports Twitter's finest gentleman's cold heart be melted?

Also Brady and Ed go at it over Masa Yoshida, Brady takes a 180 on Triston Casas, and much, much more!

Its Ed's birthday and the Red Sox have given him the gift of a trade. Long-time ace Chris Sale is now an Atlanta Brave but the Red Sox have a new second baseman in Vaughn Grissom. Hogdale and Brady have a lot to say about this and the new addition of Lucas Frost Giolito.

Then, the boys are joined by WEEI alum Lucy Burdge (@LucilleBurdge) who takes on Hogdale in Pick-A-Side and introduces him to the power of friendship. All this and more!

Hogdale's out. While the child is away, Ed and Brady will play. This episode somehow ended up being an hour and a half long despite just being a prolonged discussion about the remaining starting pitcher free agents in a post-Yamamoto environment. Jerry DiPoto* shows up as a guest for Brady to do illegal substances with/talk potential George Kirby trades.

Hogdale's out so we brought JustinMLB back to talk Red Sox offseason with Ed and Brady. Unfortunately, there's not a lot to chat about unless you're really into Cooper Criswell or Roberto Perez, so it's mostly Yamamoto talk. There's a surprising amount of disagreement as Brady has PTSD flashbacks to Daisuke Matsuzaka and makes a case for Jordan Montgomery. All this and more!

JustinMLB subs in for Brady this week and its a fun episode. The Tyler O'Neill and Alex Verdugo trades, Juan Soto, and Shohei Ohtani are just a few of our topics this week. Hogdale goes on a rant about his hatred of the Toronto Blue Jays that must be seen to be believed. All this and much, much more!

Not a lot happening but the Ed, Hogdale, and an intoxicated Brady do their best to find things to chat about. Topics include Juan Soto rumors, the Hall of Fame ballot, Ed's hatred for Tony Stark, and much, much more!

The boys are back after Ed's wedding and honeymoon. Hogdale's penis reduction surgery failed and actually had the reverse effect. No word yet on if he is getting a refund.

Discussion include Brady's against-the-grain assertion that the Red Sox should trade Jarren Duran and hold on to Alex Verdugo, Hogdale's affinity for cyber bullying Pablo Sandoval and much, much more.

Ed, Brady, and Hogdale leave their previous podcast for greener pastures. Ed introduces them to the "Pick-a-side" game. Hilarity ensues. Also some discussion about Craig Breslow, Ed's irrational hatred for Josh Beckett, Hogdale's hatred for Fenway ketchup, and a whole bunch more.
