Podcast Canceled.

I regret to inform you that my podcast effort – This Week In Daring Fireball – has been canceled. This was to be the follow-up to CARS but, sadly, I was unable to secure funding. The New York Yankees had shown interest in sponsoring the show, but backed out after I refused to work with Don Mattingly.

He’s just a dick.

Anyway, you can listen to the first and only episode here (1.7mb MP3).

Oh, and CARS is still on hiatus.

  9. I can make the top ten, yea!
    I could be worse, you could be talking to
    Don Drysdale. Would be good interview.

  11. That was pretty funny.
    Please do another one.

    Please don’t leave us. Or tease us. Just back away from the hiatus, slowly, keep your hands where we can see them, drop the cat, let’s all be reasonable, okay?

  16. OK now just cut it out! A blog is pretty 21st century, a podcast is frickin rocket science and what’s next? Sexbots riding frickin ponies wearing no frickin pantsâ„¢ comin to our houses lookin like Jennifer frickin Entity and wanting to use our toothbrushes of Doomâ„¢!

    I can’t STAND being sixteen.

  17. Not bad but the volume was too low. No matter how much I zoomed the screen on my MacBook Pro it never got any louder. The controller kept getting closer to me, but your voice was still too quiet.

    Why must you remain so distant and aloof, John? Why?!?

  18. Amazing. How often do we get to witness the birth of a second career right before our very ears?

    I feel so inspired–now I want to do a podcast about John’s podcast about Darling Furball. But I would have to buy a microphone, so…no.

    Keep the crumbs coming, Mr. Moltz.

  19. Moltz, you little teaze-Monkey. How you doth dangle the fruitness of you company before us – like ripe plums – only to whisk them away. Like ripe plums. That have been whisked away.

    The plums thing is clearly not a testicle metaphor, by the way.

    It’s a simile.

    Or – were I to have used the word ‘over-ripe’ or even ‘fetid’ (and quite possibly ‘tiny’ also) – a simple description.

    Am I still typing this?

    Er…

  21. Pump up the volume.
    pick up the 5k band a db or so
    Had to patch it through my preamp…
    Guess my ears are getting old…
    Prob.. just right for iPod out through the buds…i guess.
    And Yankees… Not

    Better than that Ars T WebbAlert gal… she is a champion mumbler..
    slurs those sentence ends like she is jawing with her gilfriend…
    Don’t think you look as good as she… ‘nuf said

  25. 25th!!! I had just discovered CARS before it went on “hiatus”. Please come back so I have a better idea of what I am missing…

  26. John,

    It’s me. If you come back, I promise I’ll come right to your house wearing nothing but a trench coat and a smile. Anything that happens after that is strictly up to you.

    Smooches,

    JFC

    PS: Just don’t tell the Spell Czech. He’s such a wanker sometimes.

  28. I knew it! You love us all too much to stay away.

    It’s kind of disturbing really…

    MARK

  29. John,
    If the Yankees (hope I got that right) turned you down for finance, would you like me to approach the English Cricket Team, they’re on hiatus too.
    No, that’s too cruel.

  30. John,
    I’ll might have to withdraw my offer to approach the English Cricket Team for finance, unless you can adopt a Dick van Dyke cockney accent as I never realised you were Canadian.

  31. yanks! stan! something else… the other thing!

    this is so not internet jackass and so hot!

  32. Nxxx, you just gave me an idea: Yankees vs. the English Cricket Team! Series of matches, half played on a standard pitch, half on different baseball fields.

    The final match would be played on a football pitch, just to randomise the final result.

    As Joel of MST3k used to ask: What do you think sirs?

  34. What is this nonsense about the Yankees???? The Yankees are the Windows Vista of baseball. But what do I know?? I’m an Expos fan, and look how far that got me….my hat is a collectable.

  36. Blank,
    Slight problem, first you would have to explain to the bowlers that the idea of the game is to bowl the other side out, after that you have to persuade the batsmen that the idea is knock the round thing as far as you can without being caught, or having that three legged thing behind them being hit. It might be an idea to suggest to all of them that they are fitted with two hands so that they can catch or stop the ball when ‘fielding’.
    Suggest you try them out against a softball team consisting of three year olds.

  40. What’s up with the cloud of fervent few?
    No 411 post… Geez waiting for the old geezer to step up
    Fathom that CARS hiatusers
    Or how ever that is spelled

    Why is one G hard and the other soft…
    Must be big blur pills involved, but i would not know.

    Bin having “talks” with Entity
    Just need to talk Moltz out of the aluminum foiled room… hard work that!
    Have a titanium framed fedora… humm i wonder if that would work.
    It’s last owner doesn’t need it any more…. just do not say Bond any where around it… go figure
    that’s got to be a 40 year or so grudge…

  45. “ZuneCast?” I think they have drugs now that will clear that right up. Do not apply to eyes or mucus membranes. If rash develops, discontinue use.

  46. With 46, you get Double Mattingly!
    Considering that Mattingly is now with Joe Torre in LA, it’s no surprise the Yankees were upset when you didn’t want to work with Mattingly.
    But you could have refused to work with someone truly dickish, like Wade Boggs or Roger Clemens. Or that jerk who cut me off in traffic.

    Weekly CARS is better than no CARS…

  48. From the MacDictionary for hiatus
    –ORIGIN mid 16th cent.(originally denoting a physical gap or opening): from Latin, literally ‘gaping,’ from hiare ‘gape.’

    Reading “Art Bell” like into the Moltz use of the word “hiatus” does this mean JM went through the “gap” in the time continuum with Entity? And does this portend upon his return, he just might have green tentacles…. i like that word tentacles.. not sure about the real things though… at least on me… or anyone for that matter… could be kinda convenient on the iPhone… even two iPhones at once… a MBP, a iphone and a MBA… hmmm… would require those swively eyes too…

  50. Swively eyes are standard Ghecko fittings.
    Does that mean an Octopus/Ghecko/Moltz cross will come back?
