The Gregarious Raconteur?

[RedFox742]

I was just randomly thinking today about how funny it was that Matt wrote and recorded a song for, of all things, a guest on a sportscaster's podcast.

And then I wondered if the podcast still uses the song at all, to introduce that guy when he appears, or what?

And if the audio of them talking about the song is still around--and if the song itself is, somewhere!

I couldn't find the old podcast on the espn site. The song is at http://www.theocracymusic.com/mp3/TheGregariousRaconteur.mp3

A theocracy song was on ESPN?

Nice timing for this thread...New York Magazine just randomly linked to it on their site:

And they play that song occasionally, but they play the little Subway intro we did every week. It's just a takeoff on the 5 Dollar Footlong theme song. They usually play the a capella version, and you can hear it in the last couple of minutes of this week's podcast if you go to espn.com, scroll down and click on "B.S. Report." Subway also uses the instrumental version of this as the backing track for their commercial at the very end.

Hahah. "Theocracy, baby." Those guys love ya, Matt! You're like, their house band.

Afraid I'll still be giggling as the Red Sox take their 3rd Series in 5 years, though.
