Absent Mic'd-ed
February 24, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 58.4 MBApologies upfront, there was a power surge a few minutes into recording and it killed our microphones. We didn't realize this because the feedback from our mics to our headphones sounded fine but the connect to our recording studio was cut off. This one is rough to hear. If somehow you manage to work through it, first off, we love you, secondly, you'll hear us discuss the biggest 9am let down after the amazing 630am Villa Arsenal game, go over some amazing passes, and talk about City's dr...
The Birds & The Bees
February 17, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 56.4 MBDue to Valentine's Day, our schedules didn't match an we sufficed for a remote pod. We discussed enough action to distract us from the fact that we weren't in the same room while recording. Brentford's top of the table form, Brighton, Palace, Spurs, Newcastle, and Liverpool all get their shout outs as well. We couldn't leave out the top of the table mid-week clash between Arsenal and City either, or Pep's squirmy pre-match presser. Lots of love in this pod as we don't have a single bad g...
Shock & Awe, City Cheated?
February 10, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 52.7 MBThe happenings dominate this episode. City accused of 100 breaches of financial misdoings from the EPL, Turkey and Syria rocked by earthquakes, and Jesse Marsch becomes the 8th manager to be sacked this season. The only person more confused then Kelly in this episode is Weston McKinnie. Kelly forgot her notes and Weston joined Leeds presumably to play under an American coach. He did, but only for 1 game. We break these shockers down as well as some shockers in the EPL weekend. Wolves m...
Getting Mugged
February 03, 2023 03:00 - 54 minutes - 37.6 MBWe promised we wouldn't do it again and that promise only lasted about 10 episodes. Hot Cocoa Part-B (With Alcohol), We FINALLY discuss Frank Lampard's dismissal, all of the Jan Transfers, and the FA Cup Fourth Round action. Kelly's dad points out how great it would be to have my dad on the podcast to help our numbers, and my dad chimes in with some Brentford and Southampton history. We then round the pod of with some extra happenings. Grab an alcoholic hot drink and join the CUP festivi...
Fatten 'Em Up and Send 'Em Out
January 27, 2023 03:00 - 46 minutes - 31.7 MBBack in studio and back on Frank Lampard's back! The old hand has gone and done it again. Taken a Blue team and dropped them right into the shitter and lost his job for it. This one isn't all on Frank though as the board, who holds most of the blame, did not support him or the club. Regardless, we get into all the deets and dirty rumors surrounding Everton. Let's be honest here, we're just deflecting from the poor form of our Liverpool. We touch on the Carabao Cup Semi finals and the r...
Let's Kick the Keeper
January 20, 2023 02:00 - 1 hour - 59.2 MBAnd just like that we're back remotely. Someone had to go an have a birthday on the one day our schedules lined up. Happy Birthday Kelly!!! Thank you for all you do for the podcast and for keeping it as real. In this episode we break down what felt like 9 derbies and a Liverpool beat down. Manchester United's home resurgence post Ronaldo, Arsenal's grip on the league tightening, and the woes of the mid-table reds and blues. We also discuss the wild wild relegation battle happening right...
The Deadest Dog
January 13, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 47.8 MBThe gang is back in studio and it feels so good. However, the hiatus from in-person podcasting made producer Gordon a little rusty and he forgot to record from the mics. Despite sounding like the podcast was recorded underwater, it is a very packed, very funny episode. We discuss the continued struggles of Ronaldo, the FA Cup action, and last week's prem games that we had been seething over for a week. The giggles come roaring after a few beers and we switch our scoreline predictions to...
The Ten Hag Time-Out
January 06, 2023 14:00 - 1 hour - 54.7 MBHappy New Year DITBoxers!!! In the weirdest week of football, in the weirdest limbo week of the year, Kelly and Gordon make it even more difficult for you by only talking about the weekend fixtures. If you can remember way back to 2022 the games that took place on the weekend of the new year, we saw plenty of action, plenty of goals, and, of course, this season's shockers continued. We also saw Ten Hag try to discipline his star man, only to call on him to bail him out of a sticky situatio...
The "Stress Ball" Strikes
December 30, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 57.4 MBThe Prem has returned and Kelly and Gordon spare no time in getting right back into it. It's a long one because, why the hell not?! Hopefully you're as excited as we are to relive Week 17 action. From the underage drinking, to the goals galore, to the red cards, to Pep kicking water bottles at anything that moves these days, we cover it all. So crack open a cold one and let's ring in the new year with a plethora of footie action! This podcast is also dedicated to the life of one of the ...
EPL Returns DITBoxing Day
December 23, 2022 03:00 - 1 hour - 42.8 MBGordon returns to the Pod but the gang is still virtual due to the lingering sickness. Kelly and Gordon don't let that stop them from filling your ear holes on Christmas weekend with the sounds from the greatest World Cup Finals ever and the excitement of the EPL's return for Boxing day. Of course there's the small matter of the Carabao Cup to discuss as well. Kelly even gives everyone a glimpse into her personal life and provides a great bonus story to break up the pod's topics. From ou...
The Kelly Special
December 18, 2022 03:00 - 48 minutes - 33.2 MBBetter late then never. A bad round of flu kept Gordon down this week and derailed the podcast. Our apologies for the late release, but so grateful to Kelly and Graham who took over the entire thing this week AND submitted it on time for a regular Friday drop. In this episode Kelly dives into the quarters and semi finals of the WC 2022 and makes some predictions on the outcome of the final. She discusses the USMNT drama, and some Argentina drama as well. And of course we couldn't forget ...
Knock Out Stage Baby
December 09, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 57.4 MBThe group stage ends, the round of 16 closes and Kelly and Gordon sweep up the stories and drama from the games that went forward. From Ronaldo's complete meltdown, to Raheem Sterling's absence, the was almost as much on field as off field to talk about. We also get the privilege of hearing this week's Story Behind the Fixture from the man himself. Unfortunately there are no subtitles so you'll have to do your best to understand him. The pod then closes with a special announcement and ...
Sound Effects & Computer Balls
December 02, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 50.1 MBWith so much action to catch up on from the last time we podded this one gets a bit silly. We do our best to break down all the best highlights some some of round 1, all of round 2, and some of round 3 of the group stages. We bring up the biggest stories surrounding the World Cup and discuss the biggest shocks and disappointments of the tournament.
I Am Christmas (Non-Soccer Rant Bonus Episode)
December 02, 2022 05:00 - 6 minutes - 4.68 MBIn this week's episode, Kelly went off wildly on a tangent about her second favorite subject of Christmas. While she tried hard at first to link it to the tournament, she quickly got to her real point of movies. I would have put it in the bloopers at the end, but it was almost 7 mins and it was too good to lose. So, with today being December 1st, here's a little Xmas gift from us at DITBox to your little ear holes.
A World Cup of Rants
November 25, 2022 15:00 - 1 hour - 46.1 MBHappy thanksgiving all! Here is a run down of the first few days of the World Cup action, the good, mostly the bad, and the American! We break down Group A-D's first matches and look ahead to the rest of the group's first taste of Qatar. Off the field there is still a lot to unpacked and we try to bring you as many of those developing stories as we can. I hope you and your families had a wonderful time celebrating but now it is time for USA vs England. The student vs the teacher.
Charucuterie Board Strikes Again
November 18, 2022 03:00 - 1 hour - 44.2 MBAs the EPL season takes a weird break for the weird winter World Cup, Kelly and Gordon try to seamlessly end the EPL and introduce the World Cup. They survived, but just barely. Join us on the treacherous journey to wrap up the weekend action and take a dive into what to expect next week as the nations descend on 90 degree Qatar. We talk about the United kid winner, the sloppy goals, the Bournemouth domination, and the incredible goal keeping displays from a few net minders. Oh, and of co...
Remotely Interesting Weekend
November 11, 2022 07:00 - 1 hour - 54.4 MBKelly and Gordon produce their first remote pod of the season. There may be some volume differences as Gordon keeps quiet to avoid waking the baby but the duo manage to carry on the conversation. Much in part due to the phenomenal weekend of EPL action. 5 PKs, 37 goals, 5 post 80th minute goals, and 2 red cards. They also touch base on Carabao Cup and the European competitions which both drew for the knockout rounds.
Billie the Big Horse
November 04, 2022 03:00 - 1 hour - 50.2 MBIf Liverpool keep losing these relegation battles we will have to change the name to just Drinking. In a week where Arsenal takes out their frustration by kicking some trees, KDB reminding us why he's so special, and Aston Villa's high plummets to a new low, Kelly and Gordon dust themselves off and examine all the action from the weekend. Kelly is forced to admit that Rodgers has righted the ship and Gordon has to come to the realization that he loves Graham Potter but this weekend felt go...
Cities vs Uniteds
October 28, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 53.6 MBStevie G is gone and Liverpool lose to City but Kelly and Gordon still show up and have a good time. In a weekend of wild score-lines there's plenty to discuss. Are Newcastle a real threat? Are Leicester out of the danger? Are Liverpool in danger? Can Arsenal hold off the second gear City? Have a drink with us and ponder the biggest questions surrounding the season so far.
Patty Bamford and the Grunge Revolution
October 21, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 48.7 MBFirst off, let me apologize for the quality here, some bonehead forgot to turn the mics on and the recording defaulted to the laptop mics instead. If you make it to the end, we LOVE you! Anyways, the grunge look may be fashionably dead but it did not stop Patrick Bamford from sporting the look of a high school adolescent who hates authority and just lost his first girlfriend. He then completed the look and basically said F*ck organized sports, and missed his penalty. On the other side of...
Pep Giving Out Seasonal Depression Days
October 14, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 47.1 MBIn a massive contrast from last week Kelly and Gordon start the pod with hot chocolates from Dunkin to combat the first cold rainy day of the fall season... the Dunkin slogan must only pertain to their coffee because this was basically a sedative to the lively pod from last week. Regardless, we touch on the UCL incidents and games, some potential court time for Ronaldo, the Liverpool vs City game, and all the action from last week. Our love for Jesus sways, our passion for Leno and Henders...
Pep Giving Out Seasonal Depression Days
October 14, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 47.1 MBIn a massive contrast from last week Kelly and Gordon start the pod with hot chocolates from Dunkin to combat the first cold rainy day of the fall season... the Dunkin slogan must only pertain to their coffee because this was basically a sedative to the lively pod from last week.

Too Drunk Too Fast: Gerrard to Kiss Coutinho
October 07, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 50.8 MBIt's FRIDAY baby, and you have earned a beer or three with us this week! A manager was fired, but to Kelly's disappointment, it wasn't Brendan Rodgers. Bruno and Wolves part ways after their lost to West Ham at the weekend drops them into the relegation zone. Three hat-tricks and three red cards grace the weekend, and Kelly and Gordon pay dearly for it. Three shots and beers to boot cause all sorts of mayhem this week, to the hosts, to the script, and to the weekend prediction. One in wh...
Shootout at the OK Corral EPL Version
September 30, 2022 08:00 - 1 hour - 61.5 MBKelly and Gordon are joined by Arsenal faithful Aaron and Spurs fanatic Gio in this epic showdown of who can make the funnier comment. FINALLY the episode isn't all about Liverpool, although Gordon tries his hardest to steer the conversation back that way. Since there were no EPL games to speak of the gang focuses on the upcoming North London Derby, which is looking tasty in recent weeks with the form both teams are in. They also touch on the depressing displays during international break...
The Return of the Prodigal (Heung-min) Son
September 23, 2022 04:00 - 50 minutes - 34.7 MBThe Queen returns... well our Queen, not THEE Queen. Kelly is back from vacation and is ready to tackle the short week... well sort of. Vacation brain is a real thing, but luckily Gordon has no life and dedicates his void to keeping the podcast on track. The only thing that's missing in this one is the goalie mentions, but that's literally because we lost audio for that portion... sorry Kelly, I promise it was not on purpose. Anyways, relive Son's redemption off the bench, Adam Lallana's ...
Dead Queens & Club Nicknames: A Short History Lesson
September 16, 2022 04:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MBGordon is alone again as Kelly explores the wilderness of the American Southwest, and since there was no football to discuss, since that old rich lady croaked, there was no point to call her into action. In lieu of football action, we decided to bring you a long version of a Kelly's Shot Glass History segment and a short version of the pod. This one is for our loyal listeners so your earholes don't forget the sweet sound of the DITBox pod.
MitroFished
September 09, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 58.9 MBIn a weekend crammed with footballing action between the EPL and the European competitions, Gordon gets jealous and adds his own segment into the schedule. After a 2 week with 50 goals, we get a single weekend with 32! Kelly and Gordon also discuss the sacking if our second manager and take an in-depth look into the crazy managerial carousel at Chelsea. Grab your shot glass as we toast America's first RED of the season coming courtesy of Cheese Head, Jesse Marsch. FYI between recording a...
Live Post Game Beheading
September 02, 2022 03:00 - 1 hour - 64.5 MBThe prodigal daughter has returned and she's bringing booze! Kelly hops on/off the wagon (depending on how you look at it) and rejoins the podcast. Thank god too, because it is an ear full! 20 games, 50 goals, 1 manager sacking, and, of course, a RED CARD SHOT! Join us as we break down, or attempt to anyways, match week 4 and 5, a crazy transfer deadline day, and all the happenings between. Come for Kelly's return, stay for the EPL action.
I Didn't Say Tricky Trees, But I Did Say Tedbits
August 26, 2022 04:00 - 39 minutes - 27.4 MBThis week Kelly and Gordon... oh wait no! Only Gordon. Crushed by the weight of the Liverpool loss to Manchester United, Kelly has left the podcast. Just Kidding, but it is just Gordon on this one. Super sorry for putting you through this cringefest of a solo podcast. In this episode I do my best to break down week 3 in all it's chaotic glory. From the Oil Derby to the American Revolution to United making Liverpool look like United.
David Moyes Memorial Relegation Zone
August 19, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 60.5 MBA weekend of goals, Red card, VAR, bald refs, coach fights, and angry Ronaldo's. The Prem in all it's glory. Gordon takes 3 straight pulls from the Jame-o this week for the angry sideline dad fight and Darwin Nunez's introduction to scrappy EPL defending. We discuss the Arsenal surge, the City stroll, the Liverpool struggle, the Battle of the Bridge, and the collapse of Manchester United. We really could have had an episode on each. It's not fair to have all that action squeezed into on...
Pretzel Leg
August 12, 2022 03:00 - 1 hour - 52 MBIn this episode Kelly and Gordon take a ride into the goalkeeping in Week 1 of the new EPL season. Kelly starts a new segment on history and Gordon analyzes what results are blips and which are real concerns. We couldn't leave out all the spicy manager comments and also a bit of banter for a few Premier League-esque events (looking at you Jordan Pickford and Harry Maguire).
Brazilian Coach's Nightmare
August 05, 2022 03:00 - 1 hour - 53 MBWE'RE BACK! And just as drunk as ever. We dusted the mics off and decided you hadn't heard enough of us just yet. Strap in because this is the episode where we look ahead to the start of a brand new season. It's like Christmas eve for hooligans. A magical and wonderful time where the possibilities are endless and the dreams are unreasonable (looking at you Spurs). Grab your favorite drink, and join us as we embark on the latest journey.
Pour One Out for Steve Bruce
October 15, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 58.8 MBWe come to you remotely this weekend for logistical reasons but the episode does not lack substance. Newcastle United win their appeal and become the world's richest club overnight. Kelly and I breakdown all the angles and try to paint a picture of the situation for you.
Crispy Mo
October 08, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 52.4 MBSTILL exhausted from Sunday's Liverpool vs City match-up. What a match we witnessed. We also saw United drop points, Chelsea get saved by a dubious VAR red card, and the other team in the top 6, Brighton drop points at home to Arsenal. AND after only 7 games, we witnessed our first manager sacking. Watford may not be any good at Premier League football, but boy are they good at firing managers. Claudio Ranieri will be their 13th manager since the new owners took the helm in 2012. Get yo...
Toe Tootally
October 01, 2021 02:00 - 57 minutes - 39.5 MBAnother weekend passes and another weekend where Kelly predicts one score and Gordon another and the score that they don't go with ends up being the result. Liverpool do in fact drop points in a neutral fan's wet dream of a match, the North London Derby is painted in a deep deep red, and the City v Chelsea match we came to love from last season failed to spark. Only one team remains unbeaten, but SIX remain without a win. VAR also goes back to being involved but not show-stealing. We also...
The Return of Darth VARdar
September 24, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 46.5 MBWe lasted four weeks, pleasantly oblivious to the horrors about to rear it's ugly head in week five. VAR has awoken from it's slumber and given us a weekend of talking points. From the Ronaldo snub (or double snub according to him), to the Brighton vs Leicester game, Kelly and I try to break down the weekend's action. We also delve into the first day of the third round of the Carabao Cup. Come to the dark side, crack open a cold drink, and join the conversation.
Lukakaldo
September 17, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 51.4 MBNo, it's not a dirty word, unless watching two superstars set the fourth weekend in the premier league alight gets you off. In this episode we jam pack the content because we witnessed the first matchday of the Champions league. It's Christmas #2 on the calendar, and boy were we spoiled. A 9 goal thriller in Manchester, a 5 goal thriller in Liverpool, and Sherriff finishing top of their group after match week one a top of Real and Inter Milan. To top the Football Sundae we finish the epi...
A Brazilian FU
September 10, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 42 MBInternational breaks can be a tad boring, especially on the heels of an exciting summer tournament. Feels like we've barely gotten our feet wet in the new EPL season when we are forced to watch chop-shopped International teams square off for World Cup Qualifiers. Well we've tried to make the down week a little bit better for you by talking through some of the week's biggest headlines, and ending with testing our knowledge. Play along and see how you do!
Gooners Goners?
September 03, 2021 12:00 - 1 hour - 60.5 MBSpurs undefeated, without conceding a goal sit a top on the Prem after week three. Bitter rivals, Arsenal sit at the bottom, 0 points and 0 goals scored. For Gunner fans, it must be like waking up in some desolate dystopian world, unfortunately, it's reality. But we'd rather get the true feelings of the faithful then read about it in the papers. That's why we bring in Aaron as a guest host! Aaron played college ball with Kelly and I, and has been an Arsenal supporter since the early 90s....
OHH BABY!!!
August 27, 2021 13:00 - 35 minutes - 24.2 MBWe are back, and this time, Gordon remembered to turn the mics on! We welcome a special guest to this pod, or rather I couldn't get out of baby sitting this week and my son joins us. But between the random coos, Kelly and I dive into week two of the premiership where we witnessed more great goals and more tough tackles. We discuss Harry Kane "deciding" he was staying, Nuno's honeymoon revolution, and Ronaldo's possible return to the EPL.
There Be Goals In Them Hills
August 20, 2021 01:00 - 50 minutes - 34.9 MBWow. I could have literally stopped typing there and it would have sufficed for the ACTION packed opening weekend we witnessed. From the New Bees victory involving the old man crying, the amazing goals across the league, to a Kane-less Tottenham win. But boy oh boy the fans really made the weekend. Relive the action with our pod this week as we try to condense all of that in an hour. *Takes a deep breath* It's good to be back! (Pardon the sound quality, I forgot to change the input to o...
The New Bees
August 13, 2021 02:00 - 1 hour - 42.4 MBAfter a summer filled with international tournaments, it's finally time to get back to our beloved Prem. The beginning of a new season always brings hope and excitement and this one is no different. Kelly and Gordon introduce the new boys in the league and spew out our predictions. Of course, we also touch on Messi too.... Crack open a cold one, get comfy, and dream about all that is ahead of us in the 2021/22 with us!
Power Outage
August 06, 2021 03:00 - 58 minutes - 40 MBWe're back and better than ever... or so we had planned. Not talking about the beautiful game for two month has got us dusting off the old podcasting cobwebs. Never fear though, we pack this return episode chalk-full of DITBox staples. Mispronunciations, alcohol, Messi saga, VAR, and our favorite lovable loaf, Naughty Wayne Rooney. Wind down from internationals, and gear up for the Community Shield! Season 3, here we go!
A Drunken Review
May 28, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 47.2 MBThat's a wrap folks! On a crazy championship Sunday which saw three different combinations of top four finishers, Kelly and Gordon reflect on what the season. It's hard to believe that this was only one season, as it has felt like a two year slug through COVID. As fans returned on the final day, the ESL all but dead, a united front against Social Media racism, we can only look forward with great anticipation to next season! May Normalcy return! Before that though, we sit down and give our...
Krafth Mac & Cheese
May 21, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 42.6 MBA weekend of make-up games and week 37 lead to some incredible results. The top 4 battle has hit the boiling point, and the goals were flying in. We discuss the promotional play-offs, the FA Cup final, VAR to the max, and, sadly the retirement of Roy Hodgson. As we set the stage for one of the most incredible final day top 4 battles of all time, pull up a chair, open a beer and join us as we try our best to contain our excitement.
A Game of 4D Chess
May 14, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 62.8 MBBest week ever? If it wasn't then it was surely in the top five weekends of all time EPL history. So many story-lines, so many results, we were simply overflowing with content in this episode. Tuchel vs Pep has hit an all-time tension point, just in time for the Champions League final *rubs hands and licks lips*. We saw a few goal of the season candidates and more than a handful of 85+ min goals. Man City were eventually crowned champions, Big Sam got relegated for the first time in hi...
Chris or Johnny
May 07, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 51.5 MBOk so yet another podcast is named after a name Kelly butchered, but this time I don't catch it and let's her run with it all podcast long. Besides that, we talk Champions and Europa Leagues, what fans are demanding from ESL owners, and the HUGE event that unfolded before the eventual postponement of Man Utd vs Liverpool. We dive into what the players must be feeling because I felt that no one cared about them. We also get into the red cards, the old men scoring, and have a breakdown in t...
Thierry On Three
April 30, 2021 04:00 - 1 hour - 44.6 MBWell the mics have been sorted and the ESL has been put to bed (for now), time to return to business. Unfortunately, the business this week was lacking a bit, and even the Carabao Cup Final failed to measure up to expectations. However two men stood alone atop this week's episode, Thierry Henry, mentioned in three separate happenings, and Chris Wood who scored himself a beaut of a first half hatty. We tip our hats to those men, have a drink for the goalie who scored in Scotland, and dig i...
Super Shit Show
April 23, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 67 MBStop the presses! Wait, start them again. In 72 hours the 12 teams the announced they were forming a breakaway league caused the biggest hell fire on Twiiter. Both Kelly and I were GLUED to the updates, the memes, the rants, the confused fans. We did our homework with the intention of breaking this league down so the masses could understand what was going on and how this league was going to affect the footballing world. Fortunately for the world, unfortunately for our note taking, it all...
Eddie C & The Bye Week Blades
April 16, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 59.7 MBWHHHAATTT? It's crazier than VAR last weekend! That's right. we put an end to virtual pods! We are once again in person. This is the first time since the move that Kelly and I have hung out so we ramble a bit in the beginning but normal services resume. We discuss the ongoing battle against racism, Mourinho vs Ole & son, and Leeds' epic display against the champions elect. There was so much to talk about and we had so much energy that I decided to leave this one as unedited as possible...
