Purple Dinosaur Podcast Purple Dinosaur Podcast

Let's face it: there ain't much to discuss with the local Colorado baseball team. They don't care about being relevant or good, so why should you?

With that, one of our most (only?) anticipated shows of the year has returned for 2023. It's time to roast some bad TV commercials. This year, we have strong entries from the cell phone carrier market, a prescription medication spot that makes you want to rip your ears off, and surprisingly few contributions from the folks at car companies.

It's the 2023 Holiday Commercial Roast Edition of the PDP! Deck the halls with it!

The 2023 Colorado Rockies season is nearly a month old and is shaping up to be quiet literally the worst in franchise history. The Rockies are off to their second-worst start in team history through 26 games and show very few signs of anything improving. On that note, the Purple Dinosaur Podcast returns for our first episode since the holidays!

This is a different feeling season for a franchise that has always been happy in mediocrity. There isn't a huge wave of prospects on the horizon. There isn't a singular star player worth the price of admission every night. And maybe most concerning for an ownership always bereft of self-awareness or concern is that fans seem to be tuning out. The Rockies' average attendance is down far more than any other team in baseball this season.

What does it mean for them, and what does it mean for you? And maybe most importantly, should you care? All that and more on this week's (year's?) episode of the PDP.

We haven't recorded an episode of your favorite neighborhood Colorado Rockies podcast because the Colorado Rockies are an incredibly boring, failure-ridden, non-aspirational franchise with no plan to get better in any measurable context, so...what were we going to talk about?

THE GOOD NEWS IS that holiday commercials are somehow even worse than Colorado's baseball team! And we are finally back to discuss some of the worst among them for 2022. Whether you've been enraged by horrible wealthy people giving each other luxury cars for the holidays, moved to tears by irrationally emotional commercials for a grocery store chain, or unable to decipher what Jennifer Coolidge is saying in her "I couldn't possibly have tried less" Old Navy joint, we've got you covered.

It's the 2022 Holiday Commercial Roast edition of the PDP! And we're the Antonellis!

Well...the Rockies started the season 15-10 and have gone 15-30 since, so they're pretty bad. On this week's episode of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast, we talk about some baseball things and why this team is so putrid and why there (Sadly) isn't a lot of promise in the immediate future to keep people involved or interested.

But hey, the Avs are in the Stanley Cup Final, and 80% of your #AskPDP questions were Avs-related in some form. So that's cool!

All that and more is on the latest edition of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast. Go Avs go!

Over a month into the 2022 Major League Baseball season, the Colorado Rockies look like what most of us expected: sadly mediocre. Unfortunately, they're also not very interesting, which sucks. With Kris Bryant out, the Rockies' offense has slumped to extremely boring status, and Colorado's pitching staff has not held out, to say the least. What does it mean when Bryant makes his return as soon as next week?

Plus, we discuss how little is coming through the Rockies' prospect pipeline, so...really not much in this episode is too optimistic or exciting!

It's the 218th edition of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast. Spin it in a centrifuge and inject it into your injured limbs!

Nearing the end of April, it's time for an actual baseball-talkin' edition of the old PDP! On this week's (month's?) episode of the show, we discuss the 10-7 start of your, my, and our Colorado Rockies. What's good about it? What's concerning about it? What's the likelihood they'll ever climb above fourth place again? Kris Bryant hasn't hit a dinger, and Kyle Freeland keeps getting rocked. On the other hand, Connor Joe and Chad Kuhl should be Hall of Famers in no time. We discuss.

Plus, Major League Baseball continues to make everyone mad with its actual baseballs. What's the situation this year? We break it down.

All that and more is on this edition of the PDP! Juice it or deaden it depending on your offensive needs!
