Gone Podcastin' - Part 6



OK, this post is going to shatter my personal record for shameless self-promotion. First, here is the link to my latest appearance on the Brad Bogner Show. Might I say, this may be my personal best appearance. If you enjoy the Brad Bogner Show, please subscribe to the show on iTunes, or, if you are already subscribed, leave a positive review for the show.

Next order of business involves my second appearance at Caroline's on Broadway. It is this Monday, January 25th, at 9:30PM. Here is a clip from my first show:



This time I am doing what struggling new comedians call a "bringer" show: the more people who come, the better it is for me getting future appearances at Caroline's. So, if you are interested, please call Caroline's at 212-757-4100. Make sure to say you are there to see me. It will be $5 and two drinks. I've seen a couple of these shows, and let me say, they are worth the money to go to, even if you are not there to support me. At one show, both Nick DiPaolo and Darrell Hammond performed. Not bad for $5.

That's all for now. There will be a new post up later this week.

Gone Podcastin' Part 5

Click here to listen to me make another appearance on the world renowned Brad Bogner Show!

The subject is partial basketball, but mostly my upcoming stand-up comedy debut at Caroline's on Broadway. My set is killer, so if you are a fan of my writing, you should make an appearance. The show is on Sunday, December 13th, at 4:30PM. Caroline's is located on 49th and Broadway. Make sure to call 212-757-4100 to reserve tickets, and say you are there for me (Rory Toohey, that is).

If you are enjoying the Brad Bogner Show, make sure to subscribe on iTunes.

There will be a slight delay in Nets articles, but I will be back with a renewed fury next week.

Quick shout outs to Nets are Scorching and Ball Don't Lie for showing me the love this week.

Look Who's Honoring Me Now

In the past week, I've received some nice shout outs on Nets Are Scorching and Ball Don't Lie. As always, I encourage you to visit these fine gentlemen's blogs. And to all of my loyal readers who aren't honoring me...you've got some nerve!

As always, thank you for your continued support. Any feedback is greatly appreciated, so leave comments or send e-mails. See you Monday.

Gone Podcastin' - Part Three

After a two month hiatus, I make my triumphant return the Brad Bogner Show. Unfortunately, I was extremely hung over (as I was during the first show). Furthermore, this was done at my apartment with the air conditioner off (as it was making too much noise), so we both worked up a healthy sweat.

You can listen to the heat-induced ramblings here.

I love the picture:

More Links and Programming Notes

The "Gotta Dance" review posted this week has generated a lot of buzz, and Ball Don't Lie was once again kind enough to link to me. For all people who are new to my site, let me say "Welcome" and I hope you stick around.

To all my loyal readers, let me say thank you for your continuing support. Please continue to check the blog frequently, tell your friends about it, and add yourself to the "Followers" section. I've been at this for four months now, consistently updating each week, and have found it to be a very rewarding (and challenging) experience. As always, I would love to publish reader e-mails, so please send your comments/questions/dumb trade ideas to rory (dot) toohey (at) gmail.

Next week, the posting format will be a little different. I will be on the Brad Bogner Show this weekend, and I will link to it on Monday. On Tuesday, I will post a short little rant. On Wednesday, there will be a special announcement of a new blog feature which will take place during the month of August (also known as "Dead Time" in the NBA season). So plan your vacations accordingly.

SWN hearts BDL

Another week, another link from Ball Don't Lie. Thank you for reading, everybody!

I was SUPPOSED to go to this tonight:



But, in typical Nets fashion, they scheduled this a week ago, not thinking it would fall on a night where there is only one basketball game that starts after 9. This team even loses in the offseason. Sigh.

Me...Me....ME!

Another shout out for the blog in the most recent NetsDaily blog. NetsDaily is easily the best Nets website, and essential reading for all Nets fans. I am also on the front page of the NetsDaily site, under the blogs link on the left side.

New post at 9:00 tonight. Thanks for reading.

Ahoy hoy, new readers!

I got linked yesterday in Yahoo's Ball Don't Lie, and the visits to the blog have skyrocketed. For any new readers, please stay a while and look around, as there are many witty and insanely well written articles dating WAY back to the middle of March! This blog explores everything you wanted to know about the New Jersey Nets, but were too afraid to ask.

And, if you are a current follower of mine, you already know I love you and do everything I can to improve your life. That being said, check out Ball Don't Lie, because it is the bestest basketball blog. If you don't notice an increase in your stamina in 30 days, send it back for a full refund.

Gone Podcastin'

Ahoy there. This weekend, I joined my friends Brad and Justin in the inaugural Brad Bogner show. It contains the only basketball analysis I know that compares Horace Grant to an ironing board. Make sure to listen, so when this become insanely popular, you can be that douchebag that says, "Meh, I liked their early stuff better."
