We were pleased to have the Boston Globe's own Julian McWilliams on the show this week! During our conversation, we talked about his journey to becoming a Red Sox reporter--from playing in the Little League World Series (!!!!) and professional ball, to making the move from Oakland to Boston on the beat. Much, much more interesting stuff to hear from this interesting guy, you'll all enjoy it.

As for the regular nonsense: the sun has begun to set on a disappointing 2022 Red Sox season, so let's talk about the future.

Y'know who's got a bright one? Brayan Bello! The raw stuff is obviously there, but how will he fare going forward?

Y'know who might not have a bright future? Those who handled Ted Williams head. Yikes.

Opening song is "Baseball" by Hippo Campus, closing song is "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" by Aerosmith (OWWW!!!!), the song in the middle before the Julian interview is the instrumental to "Happiness" by The 1975.

The Red Sox offense is......good again?? Uhhhhhh THAT JUST HAPPENED.

Boston might be out of the playoff race--well, that is if you ask anyone besides Liam and perhaps Jake--but they seem to be laying a good foundation for the 2023 season and beyond.

Y'know who might help with that foundation? Max Rebo and Jar Jar Binks. Aaron Judge, too (we talked about him being in Boston), but especially those Star Wars pals. In fact: we gave our dream starting 9 made entirely of Star Wars characters!

Also: Joss Whedon and his gift of writing in movies. RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN to listen to this great episode!

Opening song is "Baseball" by Hippo Campus, closing song is "Big Flame (Is Gonna Break My Heart in Two)" by Doris Wilson. Triples make it safe.

Another rousing edition of the podcast about the Boston Red Sox where we refuse to talk about the Boston Red Sox for about 15 minutes! TV game show and Chris Berman chatter before we get into the annoying baseball team.

They really are annoying, though--those Red Sox. With time slipping away, Liam is still a believer in their chances to be dancing in October. Jake? Not so much. Fitz? Leaning more towards Jake.

How big of an offseason is this upcoming winter for one Chaim Bloom? Well, pretty big. That's obvious. But are we talkin' job security-big, folks? Tune in to find out.

Opening song is "Baseball" by Hippo Campus, closing song is the Deal Or No Deal theme.

Yeah, basically what the title says. First 15 minutes? No Red Sox talk to be had--ton of Game of Thrones and Arsenal talk, though! Look at us cheeky Bri'ish blokes.

But, we couldn't delay the inevitable. Boston sits a whole six-pack back of the wild card as we sit down for another edition of our Red Sox show. What's up with Xander, man? What positives has 2022 brought to this club? Why do we keep doing this kind of episode?

Technical difficulties couldn't break our soul as we welcomed Jake back from the dead to talk about the most confusing baseball team we've ever seen!

Do we even know what the 2022 Boston Red Sox's deal is? Like, what? Y'know what I mean? You don't? I dunno, man. It's been a confusing season--in more ways than one. Let's talk it out and see where the team goes from here, after winning two (2) straight series against division rivals.

ALSO: Giant squids in left field, the return of Kiké Hernández, bad country music, and more

We recorded this a day before we found out that Chris Sale hurt his wrist falling off a bike, ending his 2022 season.

So, until next week, enjoy a sans-Jake episode where Fitz and Liam ramble on about how weird the '22 Red Sox are, how frustrating some players have been performing, and--for whatever reason--British soccer, among other topics!

The fellas are #back for the another episode, as we recap the trade deadline that was for the Boston Red Sox--who now appear to be the best team in all of sports, not just baseball????

Goodbye and thank you to Christian Vazquez, goodbye and no thank you to Jake Diekman. Hello to Eric Hosmer, Tommy Pham, and Co. We talk about all that and more as we usher in the Dril Sox era of Boston baseball.

Let's get weird with this second half, baybee.

The 2022 Red Sox might be doomed? If that's the case, I think we're starting to accept that--unless you're Jake, who already has.

How has Chaim Bloom's tenure at the helm of the front office been up until this point? We feeling good, bad, or indifferent going forward?

Where would we want to see MLB expansion teams placed?

All of that and MORE on a very special, non-trade deadline-related episode of Pod On Lansdowne! That episode comes tomorrow, just wait.

Opening song is "Baseball" by Hippo Campus, closing song is "Venom" by Eminem. But now the surprise is spoiled because you read that. Guess I should've warned ya. Oh well.

Remember when things couldn't get worse for the 2022 Boston Red Sox last week? Yeah, they got worse. Players got hurt, centerfielders didn't run after balls that flew right past them, this is the bad time!

Let's have another group therapy session to talk it out--do the Sox ride it our with the roster they've got? One of our co-hosts thinks so.

PLUS: Fitz (which is me, in case you didn't know) went to Cooperstown for David Ortiz's Hall of Fame induction! He (I) had a great time at the hall and at the ceremony, and he (I) told the fellas all about it. There's a story about how he (I) had a true connecting moment with a Red Sox HOFer.

All that and more on another installment of your favorite baseball-podcast-that-oftentimes-doesn't-go-into-baseball!

Opening song is "Baseball" by Hippo Campus, closing song is "Sunshine Of Your Love" by Cream. RIP Paul Sorvino.

Boy, the last few weeks of Red Sox baseball has been awful, huh?

Let's talk about it. Let's talk about if the Red Sox should be sellers at the deadline, and let's talk about where the Red Sox go from after the All-Star Game.

ALSO: The inaugural edition of the Halfsie Awards! We'll be honoring (or dishonoring) the 2022 Sox's most notable performers from the first half of the season. Who will be the first ever Him of the Half?

Ton of Max Rebo talk on this episode, by the way--in case you're a fan of our king.

Opening song is "Baseball" by Hippo Campus, closing song is "Jedi Rocks" by Max Rebo's band/technically John Williams
