Times Before Can Be Forgotten

No need to bury the lead—Josh Walker closes the G.O.V. circle for the first time since 2019 by joining the Times Before original lineup in their summer residency at Studio 48. If Times Before Can Be Forgotten had a mission statement, this episode would be it.

Any similarities between this episode of Times Before Can Be Forgotten and ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption should be ignored on account of the fact that no one cares what these Three Connerys have to say. Well, maybe Joe…

Three Connerys gather to litigate an age-old topic: are things better now or back then? Specifically, Joe and Adam debate a number of topics from being a kid to television and more. Listen along! In fact, we dare you, you nerd!

For reasons that remain unclear, Times Before Can Be Forgotten has, well, not exploded, but has found its way to listeners from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to Amman, Jordan. In fact, listeners on six continents have been all over the pod. As born panderers, the original TBCBF podcasting crew have gathered to read through the mailbag from global listeners. Enjoy!

Ok, so it’s not quite a draft. Three Connerys gather to discuss what sports you would take to a desert island. If you only had access to one televised sport, which would it be? How about another sport, radio only? Each Connery makes seven picks in total while deriding one another’s selections.

The founders of TBCBF are no Craig Breslows, but they do what they do best—talk baseball, movies, and nothing in particular. Enjoy.

Like Drake Maye, Three Connerys have endured rain and snow, only to arrive at Super Bowl weekend. Like Drake Maye, they’ve been thinking about nothing but Sunday’s game for two weeks. Like Drake Maye, they expect to win. Be like Drake Maye, and listen to Times Before Can Be Forgotten.

Three Connerys gather to do two of their favorite things: podcast about upcoming sporting events and speed skate in Singapore. From Lake Placid to Sarajevo to wherever in hell the Winter Olympics are this year, the boys take stock of the action and savor all the broken bones, insurance premiums, and heartbreaking disappointment off the podium.

For their 2-year anniversary pod, the Times Before Can Be Forgotten founders are together again to talk about movies—105 of them to be precise. From Rowley to Singapore, Sweden to Australia, TBCBF continues to expand its global stranglehold on mediocre podcasting. Join us.

This might not be the best NFL analysis out there, but it is the analysis you’re looking at right now! Join Three Connerys—two, really—on a prognosticative journey to Super Bowl 60 on February 8th 2026 (a totally unimportant day).

The episode cover art tells the story. The fight is over. His jaw is broken. We’ve earned a long break from Jake Paul. Three Connerys stayed up late, watched the fight, and have scalpels in-hand now for the postmortem.

The Connery boys gather again on the eve of another boxing event. On their holiday wishlists this year is to watch Jake Paul get knocked out by Anthony Joshua like Ivan Drago KOing Apollo Creed. Can it happen? Will it happen? How much longer will we even care? Tune in for the answers to these gripping holiday questions before the fight on Friday.

On Times Before Can Be Forgotten, we’ve talked video games before. This time, Three Connerys will go much deeper than Lemonade Stand, Pitfall, and Golgo 13. Get ready for a multigenerational conversation about some 8-bit goodness!

Don’t let the photo fool you, Corey, Sittnick and Dick Warlock are together again—out of Studio 48 and in the Mobile Podcast Unit. Topic: your guess is as good as ours. We dare you to listen and apologize in advance.

This is our magnum opus, for now. Whatever we’re good at here on Times Before Can Be Forgotten is on full display this episode as the original lineup is back together at Studio 48 with Sittnick and Corey to discuss some of the greatest opening scenes in cinema history.

While scary movies may not be a favorite musing for the pod, looking backwards always is. Solo-podding (monologuing in the marsh) again is our lonely host who can’t get out of his own way this month and get the real talent of the pod on-air. So he reminisces about 80s Halloween costumes, the connective tissue between horror films and another 80s childhood phenomenon, and looks back on which movie villains played more of a role than others.

Three Connerys gather together on the eve of the 2025 baseball playoffs. Twelve teams, one World Series winner. Wait, there are three wildcards now? Ok, lots to parse through—including three World Series matchup predictions and no consensus whatsoever between them.

The original TBCBF lineup is gathered at Studio 48, extolling the virtues of Miami Vice, free speech, and comparing the ‘25 Patriots to the ‘24 Red Sox. Join us before the FCC shuts us down!

The original TBCBF lineup is together again at Studio 48, continuing their commitment to talking about nothing. The acting of John C. McGinley, the evolution of hat collections, transgressive memories of Garbage Pail Kids—all this and much more is celebrated in this latest episode of Times Before Can Be Forgotten, which the Filipino Podcast Review calls, ‘a podcast.’

The Three Connerys made an experiment after surviving getting caught in the gears of a combine. Watch the original Naked Gun, go see the new one in theaters, and report their respective findings live on a pod. There was a 50/50 chance they’d do it, but only a 10% chance it would happen. The result? Listen and see.

Forty-six minutes of Point Break material, that is. With Corey on the DL, Sittnick is doing the work, crushing tape, and ready to show everyone why he just might like Point Break more than anyone. Join him (and Connery) for an all-time breakdown of one of the best cinema scenes of all time.

“You think you’re better than me, Connery?!” Definitely not. But I’m solo-podding in the marsh again and controversially brooding over ten things that I like more than you like them. Listen along, then prove me wrong.

As promised, Sittnick, Corey, and Connery made it to Studio 48 before the end of June to talk about turning 50–and whatever else they want.

Not thinking for yourself has never been easier. Connery’s solo-podding in the marsh again, doing the reading so you don’t have to. Later today, he’ll be back at Studio 48 with real starpower. Til then, we’re talking about books in a way that’s not normal.

This is our best work—simple pleasures, weekend plans, self-improvement, friendship, and Joe-tani.

The Connerys Three are together again for 50 movies in 40 minutes. Adam is on the hot seat fielding a long list of 80s and 90s films to decide if they are hall of famers or garbage, nostalgia or—God forbid—something he’s never seen. They litigate, argue, and name which of the 50 comprise their respective Mr. Rushmore.

Through gambling, I learned I was just smart enough to know how dumb I probably am.

Even in 2009, social media was deeply tiresome.

The apex and decline of American dissent in novels with a nod towards 21st Century film franchises.

A romantic and unreasonable glimpse of going off-grid, circa 2009.

What to watch: a man getting hit in the crotch with a football or a beheading in the Middle East.

A 2009 piece as to whether or not the UFC would transcend marginalized status—with some help from the kids from Stand By Me.

A never-ending spring rendered in the summer of 2009.

Sixteen years ago—new grad and no hope.

Deciding to begin a blog in 2009: Vonnegut and TV Guide movie descriptions.

Back when the podcast was a blog, we’re traveling 15 years and more than 500 spoken-word essays—all 1,000 words—about processing the age we live in through movies, sports, pop culture, literature, ideas, Boston, nostalgia, travel, and free fucking speech.

Corey, Sittnick, and Connery journey back to a time when books were the most important thing there was (if you were alone and bored with nothing on TV and before you owned any kind of a video game system).

When Caldor wanted a new look, they called Times Before Can Be Forgotten. Before the fucking Internet, the Wild West of Content was the UHF band. The Brothers Connery fight Terry O’Reilly, run through a haunted house with Moe, Larry, and Shemp, and put the Fabulous Moolah in a Camel Clutch to remember everything they can about the magical UHF.

We’re not even going to try and explain it. Join Corey, Sittnick, and Connery for The Dead Draft. We apologize in advance.

One day you’re shooting hoops outside the garage and transcribing the March Madness bracket onto poster board—the next day you’re lamenting how the University of Puerto Rico ended up in the PAC-10 and listening to the tourney on Westwood One AM radio for the sake of nostalgia. Join Joe, Adam, and the other Connery for a look back at all things Big Dance.

In a very special episode of Times Before Can Be Forgotten, the original lineup returns to talk about something their fathers would have berated and beaten them for: well-being. Corey, Sittnick, and Connery aren’t talking politics and no one’s getting cancelled—just exploring how each navigates the brave new world.

The Three Connerys (the big one, the blabbermouth, and the cute one) are guest podding to talk some Super Bowl. Game analysis and predictions? Not a chance. We’re remembering the build-up to the game from decades ago—the hype, the commercials, halftime, and more. Grab a Big Mac and wake up Spuds McKenzie: it’s Times Before Can Be Forgotten.

In the second half of their 2025 kickoff, Corey, Sittnick, and Connery celebrate a lifetime of head trauma and torn ACLs by drafting their all-time NFL fantasy lineup. Listen and vote for a winner—Sittnick or Connery, as we can all presume Corey will finish third.

Corey, Sittnick, and Connery are back to podcast for their third consecutive year, kicking off 2025 with an NFL playoff preview. True to form, the guys look back at the NFL of their childhood before offering what insights they can muster in what can only be called the worst gambling advice available in any form of media.

In part 2 of their year-ending, season-beginning episode of Times Before Can Be Forgotten, Corey, Sittnick, and Connery complete their sweep through Boston media of old, breeze through some more drive-bys of half-forgotten local media personalities, and celebrate one full year of highly unlikely podcasting.

Which Boston AM radio station did you listen to for snow day school cancellations? Was your family a Herald family or Globe? Sports from Bob Lobel or Mike Lynch? WBCN OR WAAF? Imus or Stern? Corey, Sittnick, and Connery are celebrating, not litigating, a lifetime of Boston media. So grab a copy of the Phoenix, see who’s playing at Avalon, and listen to the guys celebrate one year of Times Before Can Be Forgotten.

The Tyson/Paul fight is over. Times Before Can Be Forgotten may be so much raw AM radio static, but we’re more durable than Netflix. The three Connerys look back on the entire spectacle, name the night’s winners and losers, and begin a GoFundMe for Evander Holyfield’s CTE treatment.

Big brother called an emergency podcast on the eve of Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul. The Brothers Connery invite special guest Joe Connery to chime-in on this generational tilt between a man who will eat your children and a man who’s on YouTube, I guess.

Sittnick, Corey, and Connery are on sacred ground in Rowley (thanks Benny!) reminiscing about renting videos, waiting for Sports Illustrated to cover the big game you missed, and comparing notes on the merits of physical media.

Connery is accidentally solo-podding in the wilderness, obsessed with ideas about middle-aged fun.
