More Tests

Stacey, Cunningham and I are cranking out the podcasts . . . I'm not sure how we'll fare once the school year begins, but as of now we are going strong. Teachers in the summer. We have a new home, on Podbean, and we have a nifty logo (designed by Stacey) as well.

You'll hear some familiar voices in Episode 8, and I learned something about recording audio in a car: you can't put the recorder down on the center console because it will also record all the vibrations from the highway. One to grow on. I also learned that TJ needs to use profanity when discussing octaves.




Episode 9 features some minor improvements that only the most zealous fan will recognize; I tightened the intro and improved the music, and made the theme song a bit clearer. You also get to hear about my nightmare trip to Manhattan . . . if you'd rather read about it, head over to Sentence of Dave.

Play along, see how you do, and we are always looking for guests and/or tests.

Rob, shoot me over Jeff's info if you have it. I was thinking about our powerhouse rec league team the other day as I sat on my fat 'not playing soccer anymore' ass.

Mark said...

Dave- yes, all the free food is pretty great. And her company is putting us up at the PGA Resort in West Palm this weekend.

Rob- I might be able to make Epcot happen the weekend you're there. Let me know when you have a better idea of the day you'll go.

Zman- I assume you've seen/heard what was said to Stan Wawrinja during his match last night. That's...aggressive.

Dave said...

probably better than the possibility of dropping your wife's name to get out of a traffic ticket . . .

zman said...

No more aggressive than asserting that your opponent's wife tastes like Honey Nut Cheerios. Tennis players are overly sensitive. Pitchers have to throw a ball into a 17-inch-wide-by-two-and-a-half-foot-high hole in space while a stadium full of people hurl obscenities and insults at them. Tennis players get apoplectic if someone breaks wind while they initiate their service motion, despite the fact that they are aiming at a 21-foot-by-13.5-foot area of the court.

If someone tried to insult me by telling me that my girlfriend had sex with her ex-boyfriend, I would not be phased.

Danimal said...

sorry Dave and crew but had to stop after about 7 min of chit chat. what mark does the real fun begin?

Mark said...

I'm with you on taking trash talk personal, Z. That's what your opponent wants you to do. Not everyone is wired like that though.

zman said...

It's one thing to take offense to trash talk like "I slept with your wife last night and she tasted like brussel sprouts." But how can you get offended by the idea that your girlfriend had sex with someone before she met you? Stan's response should've been something like "I hear he banged your mom too. Dude gets it done."

Dave said...

sorry danimal, we got carried away with the anecdotes on that one . . . we get to the quiz around eight minutes in, ridiculous and it will never happen again . . .

Dave said...

yikes, we don't get to the quiz until 11 minutes in. sorry!

Hello gheorghies, from Amsterdam

Mark said...

Don't know if anyone (Rob) saw this but it looks like Trombone Shorty is involved in some manner (house band? Theme song?) in the new Scott Van Pelt run midnight Sportscenter.

Clarence said...

Midnight Run SportsCenter would be mandatory TiVo. DeNiro and Grodin recapping events would be better than Patrick and Olbermann.
