PODCAST TIME! My Apologies to B.J. Upton
This is our Tom Petty PODCAST. This is my Tom Petty concert REVIEW. This is a PICTURE of B.J. Upton, centerfielder for the Tampa Bay Rays.
You may think one of these things doesn't belong -- but you'd be wrong. After filing my Petty review Wednesday at the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, I took the service elevator down from the press box. A few floors later, the elevator stopped, the doors opened and a gaggle of Penthouse-ready women in various stages of decolletage teetered in on their perilous high heels. In the middle of these women, being touched and fawned over was none other than B.J. Upton, the Rays star looking cool and kinda bored. In a rather cruel twist, that morning I had traded Upton from my fantasy baseball team, so this encounter was greeted with both titillation and guilt. To be honest, I never woulda traded him had I known this was the company he kept. I'm famously shallow, so that sorta thing impresses me. Anyway, enjoy the podcast, and go Rays.
Sean Daly is the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times. His CD collection -- from Journey to Dylan, Prince to U2, Public Enemy to Stan Getz -- is much bigger and better than yours.
"and kinda bored"

Go Rays indeed.
And who did you trade Upton for -- inquiring minds want to know... OK, maybe just my inquiring mind.

In the quiz, "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" is brought up. I can't help but sing, "i'm draggin my ar$e around" when I sing it. Just thought I'd share.
A most excellent podcast, guys. I've been feeling out of sorts lately and listening to you two yammer on excitedly helped me. Although, is it really a podcast without a gratuitous Marissa shout out? *snort*
Love yas

Isn't the careful combination of titillation and guilt what allows you to be the perfectly balanced soul that you are? Either that or Red Bull and vodka, natch.
