Episode 224 | January 22, 2026: Huh. They Went Down the PDP Route.
After explicitly warning people not to "go down that PDP route," the Colorado Rockies hired a guy named Paul DePodesta to run baseball operations. Huh! Truly exquisite irony!
On the first episode of The Original PDP in 2026, we discuss the hiring of PDP (the other one) as the new President of Baseball Operations, Josh Byrnes as the new Rockies general manager, why these hires could be good, why they might be bad, why they are extremely Rockies in weirdness, and how the franchise managed to actually clear a bar of expectations by not just hiring the next person down the line in their C-suite.
But maybe more than that, we discuss a smattering of truly horrible holiday commercials, using the Rockies' groundbreaking new reality of "well, they literally can't get worse, so let's see how this goes" as a vehicle to get to roast more ads.
It's the latest edition of the Purple Dinosaur Podcast. Slap a red bow on it and give it to your sweetie at the holidays!

Episode 222 | December 20, 2023: Holiday Commercial Roast 2023
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!
