Episode 70: Uprooted
November 08, 2021 03:56 - 1 hour - 89.4 MBThis week we look at Danville's SPHL debut, the Aaron Rodgers debacle, and then take a good look at Canelo-Plant and what might be next for Canelo.
Episode 69: The Revenge of the Girls
November 03, 2021 03:25 - 1 hour - 86.3 MBKristine and Katelyn return to talk about their favorite stadiums and talk about some of the frustrations of being a woman in the workplace.
Episode 68: Turner and ESPN Drop the Puck
October 25, 2021 04:26 - 59 minutes - 83.6 MBThis week we take a good long look at how Turner and ESPN are doing with their new broadcast deal with the NHL and take a quick look at how the season has begun. A bit of a technical note. Something happened to Aaron's mic at about the 15 minute mark. The sound was still good enough to be pretty listenable, but there is a definite and noticeable change in sound.
Episode 67: Surprise! You're Fired!
October 18, 2021 04:54 - 1 hour - 100 MBThis episode was recorded on Friday, so we do not cover Purdue knocking the #2 out of Iowa, as the tweet says. We do, though, take a look at the Cardinals' surprise change in direction, the Giants' phantom swing, and complain again about the juggernaut sports gambling has become.
Episode 66: Wilder Things, Part 2
October 11, 2021 04:14 - 58 minutes - 82.6 MBThis week is looking back at Fury-Wilder 3 and pondering the future of Deontay Wilder after being handed a definitive loss at the end of an awfully valiant effort. Aaron also keeps saying "Brian Kelly" instead of "Brian Kenny" and really having absolutely no clue he's doing it. So some apologies to everyone on that. Otherwise, we also talk about Urban Meyer and the collapse of the White Sox. And there is some slight language involved in this one.
Episode 65: October Springs Anew
October 04, 2021 04:42 - 1 hour - 97.7 MBThis week we preview and make our picks for the MLB playoffs, as well as taking a maybe more hopeful look at the Colts season. Aaron also spends the episode struggling to keep his anger at the Cubs in check. That's probably a long term project.
Episode 64: Blue Times in Indy
September 27, 2021 04:45 - 1 hour - 92.1 MBThis week, we take a long hard look at the Colts' very disappointing start to the season and what they might do to try to turn things around. We also take a look at how Anthony Joshua's surprise loss might shake up the heavyweight division going forward and pick the better QB in some successful succession planning.
Episode 63: Women Drinking Wine featuring John Tesh
September 20, 2021 04:33 - 1 hour - 87.8 MBIn this week's episode, we take a quick look at matching your work to your format before taking a bigger look at gimmicks in televised sports. And Roundball Rock.
Episode 62: Show Some Skin
September 13, 2021 15:12 - 55 minutes - 77.9 MBThis week we look at the Big XII's big move, automated judging, the Wild Card race, and Ben Roethlisberger's complicated legacy. And somehow we took a detour to basketball players showing skin.
Episode 61: Video Games and Me
September 06, 2021 04:47 - 47 minutes - 66.6 MBIt's an Aaron solo effort this week. He tells the story of getting started playing video games, a quick history of what he plays, and how that what and why he plays games has shifted with time. Or age.
Episode 60: Little League, Big Deal
August 30, 2021 04:23 - 58 minutes - 83.3 MBThis week we look at the Little League World Series, the Padres' nightmare second half, Nebraska still being the new kid, and pivots to video.
Episode 59: Father Time Wins Again
August 23, 2021 04:14 - 1 hour - 85.8 MBThis week we look at the Ugas-Pacquiao PPV and look ahead to a couple other attractive boxing cards coming in the fall. We also take a gauge of boxing's health and compare the appeal of boxing against the appeal of MMA.
Episode 58: Talkin' Baseball (Movies)
August 16, 2021 04:08 - 1 hour - 87.5 MBThis week the boys are joined by their dad first to take a quick look at the NCAC's possible replacement and Pacquiao's replacement opponent. Then we take a good long time to talk about baseball movies and what makes them so popular.
Episode 57: The Cubs' Dead Soul
August 09, 2021 06:02 - 1 hour - 89.7 MBThings are back to normal this week while we take a look at the future of the Olympics, the Lafayette Aviators' success, and, of course, the very different fortunes of the Cubs and the White Sox now and in the near future.
Episode 56: (Not Very) Good Luck, Chuck
August 02, 2021 02:28 - 51 minutes - 109 MBThis week's episode is a great example of growing pains. We were in a totally different recording environment and setup, and it is very obvious. Please do not take this episode as any sort of representation of our usual standards. This episode very nearly went unreleased, but it marks the podcast debut of our Uncle Charlie, so we felt we had to publish it, even in this state. The content of this episode is no problem at all, just the physical listenability.
Episode 55: Guardians of What?
July 26, 2021 05:05 - 1 hour - 87.7 MBThis week, the boys are joined by their dad to talk about Cleveland's new name, the US Olympic basketball woes, and the emergence of super conferences in college sports.
Episode 54: Slaughterhouse-Five
July 19, 2021 08:33 - 4 hours - 332 MBThis episode is literally Slaughterhouse-Five, done in one sitting, without water or any other drink, and very minimal editing. I did have to cut the stuff between the title page and Chapter 1 as well as theme music to hit the size cut-off.
Episode 53: Let's Build a Stadium!
July 12, 2021 13:53 - 1 hour - 85.2 MBThis week, we look at Djokovic's dominance, talk about England's choking at Wembley, and talk about Pacers' uniform history. We also talk about what we would want in our ideal local-level stadiums and arenas.
Episode 52: Happy Birthday to Us!
July 04, 2021 23:38 - 1 hour - 89.1 MBOne whole year of the Parrish Pod! This week, we looked at Drew's high school tennis career, a bit of a Uni Watch segment, and cheered the Pacers' very short coaching search.
Episode 51: Dirt Please!
June 28, 2021 16:26 - 55 minutes - 78 MBThis week we take a look at Lafayette's new stadium, a bit of a Stanley Cup Preview, and personalities in baseball.
Episode 50: And Now for Something Completely Different
June 21, 2021 01:51 - 55 minutes - 77.8 MBDrew was involuntarily and unexpectedly incapacitated on recording tonight, so this week, Aaron read a selection of blog posts and the first chapter of a still unreleased book. Enjoy!
Episode 49: Mayweather Disappoints and the Pacers Mess
June 14, 2021 05:18 - 59 minutes - 84.6 MBDrew returns in this episode to talk about the French Open being overlooked, the NHL semi-finals, Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul, the Indy Fuel, and the Pacers' mess.
Episode 48: Ladies Night
June 06, 2021 19:40 - 59 minutes - 84.2 MBThis week, Aaron is joined by Kristine and Katelyn to talk about the mixing of sex and sports, Barstool being awful, and a surprisingly long talk about women's clothing sizing. A note here. This sound quality is not quite up to usual standards. There is a bit of an echo on the ladies' feed, and Katelyn's mic seems to cut out now and then. It's not unlistenable, but just a heads up going in.
Episode 47: Pens Fall Apart & Wilder Things
May 30, 2021 23:22 - 55 minutes - 78.8 MBThis week, the boys look at the first round of the NHL playoffs, including the collapse of the top of the East and what happened to the poor Oilers this time. We also look at the collapse of the Fury-Joshua unification fight and what that might mean for the glamor division going forward.
Episode 46: The NFL Schedule Super Show
May 24, 2021 04:13 - 2 hours - 236 MBThere is a short bit at the beginning about Lee Smith and Tony La Russa. Not together. The vast bulk of this marathon episode, though, is the three of us picking every single NFL game of this upcoming season. That's 272 regular season games (per Wikipedia, we didn't count them) and 13 playoff games, coming to a grand total of 285 picks. We will have our pick spreadsheet available on Facebook and Twitter for review to see how we do once games start. Also, I don't think there is a single ...
Episode 45: Plan B: Puppy Dog Pals
May 15, 2021 04:29 - 56 minutes - 80.1 MBThis was supposed to be our big NFL Schedule Show, but that had to get put off until next week. So, we talked about NHL playoffs formatting, the betting lines for hockey, and how to get MLB hitters to hit for average again. We took a look at Sebastian Fundora's next fight and the logistics of Fury-Joshua. And, yes, Puppy Dog Pals.
Episode 44: Boxing is Violent
May 10, 2021 03:22 - 58 minutes - 83.3 MBAs promised on Twitter (@podparrish), here is our Canelo vs. Saunders reaction, as well as a small peek into our initial thoughts on Fury vs. Joshua. We also take a good look at NHL playoffs now that the pairings are mostly set, and take a stab at figuring out the dumpster fire the Pacers have turned into.
Episode 43: A Ruiz Awakening
May 04, 2021 03:21 - 57 minutes - 81.8 MBThis week, we look at Sebastian Fundora's latest early stoppage and ponder Chris Arreola's future after losing convincingly on the judges scorecard. Maybe a little bit too convincingly, actually. We also look at baseball's 3-batter rule after a near disaster between the Phillies and Cardinals and take a look at the Colts' draft. We did mean to get to the Kentucky Derby, but unfortunately that got overlooked in the heat of the moment. Long story short, Bob Baffert is pretty good with hors...
Episode 42: Fake Fighters, Fake Belts, Fake Leagues
April 26, 2021 05:07 - 1 hour - 90.9 MBThis week, we talk about the Jake Paul-Ben Askren fight for longer than the fight actually lasted, try to figure out why the WBC is adding another belt to an already belt-laden brawl, and why the European Super League never got off the ground. Also, there's some talk about the Pacers and Jim Irsay.
Episode 41: Softball is Immoral
April 19, 2021 00:29 - 59 minutes - 83.4 MBThis week, we discuss how girls shouldn't play softball and then pivot to talking a lot about areloas. Or Arreola. Whichever.
Episode 40: The Decline of ESPN and the Rise of Sports Gambling
April 12, 2021 04:35 - 1 hour - 94.9 MBThis is a fully loaded episode. This week's topics include media timeouts in D3 basketball, wooden bats in college baseball, the role of college baseball in the era of reduced minors, the decline of ESPN, the rise of sports gambling, and forcing to pick between Bull Durham and Major League.
Episode 39: A Real Opening Weekend
April 05, 2021 04:15 - 1 hour - 87.6 MBThis week, the boys are joined by their dad to take look around the newly started MLB season. They also talk a bit about the All Star Game being moved out of Atlanta and the hornet's nest that kicked over.
Episode 38: Hot Mics and Bad Umps
March 29, 2021 00:30 - 54 minutes - 77 MBA hodgepodge episode here. First a shameless plug for a few projects Aaron running. Then a bit of discussion about the need for conference tournaments in college basketball, the hot mic incident in the NHL, and a bit of a walk-through Aaron's umpiring days. Also, a bit of a pre-emptive fact check here. Aaron thought Loyola-Chicago was still in the Horizon leage in 2018 when they made their last run to the Final Four, but that is incorrect. It was their second year in the Missouri Valley...
Episode 37: Read My Mind
March 22, 2021 03:56 - 1 hour - 86.6 MBThis week we look at the setup of March Madness, the VCU mess, Fury vs. Joshua, and how to consume baseball in 2021. We also take a look at when you should and should not believe what a woman tells you.
Episode 36: The Dashers Are Dead
March 15, 2021 00:30 - 58 minutes - 82.9 MBThis week we look at hockey in Danville and discuss whether the market has any prayer of supporting an SPHL team, as well as what this might mean for the landscape of low-level minor league hockey as a whole. There is some very minor language in this episode, though nothing that wouldn't be on basic cable.
Episode 35: Boxing Watch-Along: This Isn't Boxing, This Is Assault!
March 08, 2021 01:30 - 1 hour - 94.5 MBThis is a bit of an odd episode, as it's pretty much a regular episode with where a watch-along breaks out in the middle. This week, we talk about Mr. Kate Upton, Brent Seabrook, and goofy pitchers. As well as the previously referenced boxing.
Episode 34: If You've Got Big Cats, It Attracts the Ladies
February 28, 2021 22:28 - 56 minutes - 80 MBIn this episode, we take a look at Purdue basketball maturing at just the right time, the NHL's debacle at Lake Tahoe, Sidney Crosby not giving his girlfriend a ring, and Bob Netolicky.
Episode 33: Ginger Jesus Comes to Indy
February 22, 2021 01:30 - 55 minutes - 78 MBThis week we take a look at the Colts' future now that they have their QB, talk about whether Serena Williams tipped her hand, and a discussion about minor league baseball turns into a talk about the greatest dizzy bat race of all time.
Episode 32: Home Town Horror
February 15, 2021 02:08 - 49 minutes - 69.9 MBThis week we take a look at an incident that happened in our home town that brought into question the treatment of athletes in small towns and the role of sports in our society writ large. After that was over, we turned to something a bit more light-hearted and Drew told us about some of his experiences visiting hockey arenas across the NHL.
Episode 31: The Not-So-Super Show
February 09, 2021 04:43 - 1 hour - 87.8 MBThe plan was wait until Monday to get a good recording of our Super Bowl reaction. Then the Super Bowl wasn't really worth reacting to, so instead we spent a lot of time talking about the Pacers swoon, hockey jerseys, breaking a guy's nose, and making a half-hearted attempt to get Errol Spence Jr. to come on the show. But, for real. If anybody can get in Spence's ear, that would be amazing.
Episode 30: Classic Lakers-Celtics Watch-Along
February 01, 2021 01:30 - 1 hour - 153 MBThis week we do a watch-along with game four of the 1984 NBA Finals. We also do a quick run down of our mother's sports crushes. The link to the video for the watch-along is at https://youtu.be/bjAlWjN_DgA
Episode 29: Why Would You Kick a Field Goal?
January 25, 2021 04:32 - 1 hour - 86.8 MBThis week we react to Green Bay's coaching blunders, Patrick Mahomes outgunning Josh Allen, and look at the Pacers big moves. We also only made two references to male genitalia this week.
Episode 28: PowerPros Watch-Along
January 17, 2021 04:20 - 52 minutes - 73.7 MBAaron here. I said episode 27, but this is definitley number 28. Sorry about that! Due to some other travel plans, we weren't going to be able to record at a time that made sense to cover the rest of the sports world, but I didn't want to just miss a week entirely. So instead, you get a watch-along. For this episode, you're going to want to go here. The idea here is you start that video of an MLB PowerPros 2008 game, and I comment on it as you watch. This particular game happens to be...
Episode 27: Mild Card Weekend
January 11, 2021 04:42 - 1 hour - 85 MBA look at all this weekend's football games and a bit of a moratorium on the Colts' season.
Episode 26: (Almost) All Colts All the Time
January 04, 2021 04:51 - 1 hour - 96.6 MBThe Colts managed to squeak into the playoffs, so we're here to talk about it. There is one very minor league hockey story and a bit of speculation on the Jaguars future. Aaron is also still figuring out the best settings on the new mic, so we ask for your patience while that gets tinkered with.
Episode 25: Colts Crap the Bed, Boxing Fixing Wrestling
December 28, 2020 05:25 - 1 hour - 89.7 MBWe unfortunately waited to record especially to review what turned out to be a bad Colts showing. The Pacers and hockey are far more hopeful, though. We also looked at some of the overlap between boxing and pro wrestling and how wrestling might take some cues from the boxing world to fix their ratings issues.
Episode 24: Steve Kornacki and Pat McAfee Walk into a Bar...
December 21, 2020 01:30 - 1 hour - 87.9 MBThis week, we take a look at Native American imagery in sports and the NFL playoff picture. We also talk about how Steve Kornacki became a pop culture touchstone and things slightly derail when Pat McAfee comes up. That's just the effect Pat McAfee has in general, though. (Well after titling and setting this episode to publish, it has come to light that Steve Kornacki was a guest on Pat McAfee's show. Which shouldn't be surprising, but in the interest of full disclosure, we did not reali...
Episode 23: Coach K, Alabama, and New Nate
December 14, 2020 01:30 - 58 minutes - 82.5 MBToday we look at Coach K and Nate Oates sniping at each other, realigning the NHL, and take a look at what's happening with the Pacers with the NBA nearing another start.
Episode 22: Fight Night Last Night
December 07, 2020 05:04 - 56 minutes - 79.2 MBErroll Spence Jr. vs Danny Garcia recap and a look at how the welterweight divison could (maybe should?) play out from here.
Episode 21: Rock Ya-Sin and Mike Tyson
November 30, 2020 05:10 - 1 hour - 91.7 MBA look at the Colts' trouble against the Titans, Purdue's so-so start to the basketball year, and some thoughts on the legacy of Mike Tyson and the future of the Paul Brothers. There is a little bit of language in this podcast, but that seems a bit inevitable with Mike Tyson and the Paul Brothers.
