You oughta do segments on the history of the UT boards.  Start with some of the oldtimers from the Austin.360 days.  Try to interview Katy.  Try to interview Bob Wheeler.  Have blacklab tell his story.  Talk about how we got from 360 to hornfans to shaggybevo to shaggytexas to surly.  

Interview some of the legendary posters or discuss some of the great threads of all time.

That shit is fascinating.

Yeah I'm sure she'd love to talk about how her website went to dogshit because everyone hated her so much. 

Well that was great. I'd listen to a new one everyday. How did I miss the new Hamm thread?

Enjoyed that. Would like to hear more stories about the old times and old posters. Derka story was funny.

immamac, you sounded fine. It was Blacklab that sounded like he was in a hole. Get him a mic. 

 

Not bad for the virgin show.  Won't be long until you guys get into a groove and get all easy breezy.

Can you describe ehrine gifs in speech?

it was also completely made up by immamac. there are many people who are obsessed with me, but he probably takes the cake. I have no idea why he would completely invent a story like that (other than his clear obsession with me) but here is what actually happened:

@immamac RE Drinking the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof 12 during Tech Weekend, the reason is twofold:

1) I work at the epicenter of Tech School Pride. I didn’t even know they sold Tech Coaches’ Polos until I started working here.   They know their football team sucks, but they have scoreboard right now. 

2) The game last season was probably the most miserable Texas loss I’ve endured in person. Before the game, it was like homecoming. I saw many old friends, and everyone was excited about the program after the big win in West Virginia. Then the second half happened. 

Needless to say, a victory over Tech this season would be worth celebrating.

This is everything I ever dreamed of and more coming out of podcast #1. 

 

I believe we have found our first guest for podcast #2

Get it together, Blacklab. 

Derka podcast rebuttals...well I think we found our way to monetize the place. I'd pay $9.95 for that.

Meh, if Derka were a guest I'd not listen.  Nothing against Derka, it's just all the shit surrounding him.  I've never cared, don't care now, and think most of it's not funny (not offensive, just plain old boring).  To me this is one of the most boring, overhyped themes in postdom the past decade.  If I'm the only one, then I'll use that time to listen instead to an Urban Meyer podcast on integrity or whatever.

Please don't Derka this joint, my friend, pass over it, for me...

Immamac's mic sounded like he was in mono mode, and BLs sounds decent.  May be just me though.

Good stuff, I enjoyed it on my drive in to work. 

I think you guys are onto something. I was entertained.

I'm not all that interested in Derka drama, but the dude is a talker.  I don't know that Surly posters would make good guests, but if you go that rout Derka would at least not have awkward silences.

That's right, i remember now. Not only did immamac bam me strictly because he doesn't like me, when he did it he said, "I'm a cop, and I just came into your lawn and shot your dog. Deal with it."

we see the game you're playing. trying to get us to go look at some scat porn...

That was an awkward listen.  I'd definitely cut out the 'Blacklab and Immamac Play 7 Minutes In Heaven' bit, its a long time to hear you two go at it.

Definitely need a mic upgrade for both of yall, something like a a snowball or something, I've got a spare Blue Yeti mic in Houston that I'd be happy to get to one of yall. Any plans of getting this listed on iTunes and other podcast platforms? If yall don't wanna fuck with the upkeep for keeping it up to date on podcast listings I'd be happy to toss my hat in on the technical side to help out so it's easier to find.

Great stuff though for an opening podcast! 

I did and would continue to listen. Barking dogs, under water sounding microphone, Derka and all. More stories from the past/threads would be entertaining too. 

Enjoyed it, and it will get better.  I do agree that the audio needs some work with good/better mics etc but look forward to more.

I'll get better mics going for the next one. We will also try to get in the same room as much as possible, but we couldn't yesterday.

why do you crawl back to places people ban you from? 

 

take a hint

The audio wasn't that bad. You guys shouldn't feel constrained by some arbitrary timeframe you gave yourselves if it means cutting the fat off of a good shaggy story. 

half the "professional" podcast out there . in the Texas realm have audio problems. OB and recently E.J.'s gig. if you can hear it, rejoice.

We just moved my oldest into the block on Sunday.   He is a incoming freshman RTF major, a walking sports database, quick-witted, funny, well versed in UT history and UT sports,  fully hates on OU and might loathe A&M as much as Randolph (but in a much funnier way) and can also argue with the best of them.    So if you need any young blood, I'll send him your way.

There needs to be a bbq debate segment. 

If there's going to be any throwback talk, should include the greatness of the 2012 Alamo Bowl tailgate.

Aw man that was the best, I got nice and toasted at the tailgate then marched pregame drunk. Damn good BBQ too.

Lol....now they just are waiting for it to snow

Was that the one vs Oregon?  And it was all rainy and nasty in the morning?  Never made it to the game and ended up getting left in San Antonio.  Good times.

This.  Maybe invite JM. 

Lay off the Derka stories. He enjoys being the martyr too much.

Some bullshit sounds better over a vocal medium and some is better written. Derka has a storyteller’s cadence. Though, you can see what gets him in trouble. The rebuttal should have been half as long as it was, but instead you denied it about 5-6 more times. 

Also, immamac totally set you up at the tit bar for you to ultimately blow up on the board, so effectively, he’s right. And he’s still goading you today. 

If it’s any consolation I’d rather listen to you than either of them. 

Here's my 2 cents as a former radio guy. First and foremost, get your audio shit together. Get a matched pair of noise cancelling headsets so you sound like you're in the same room and not on shortwave from Saipan or playing Call of Dooty.

Segments, plan and break the discussion into (for example)10 min for this, 10 min for that, ect and name them. The Derka Report, This Week in Surly, Treefiddy for Treefiddy. It's important to have a few seconds to switch gears and prep for your next segment. Make some fake commercials for breaks. It's just begging for SNL style parody Eskimo Hut, Jet Pack Man, Fitlump for City Council commercials. Put together musical intros and exits for segments. Let the bed slowly fade out as you talk on intro and up as you exit.

Just a few thoughts. Be glad to pitch in if needed. Listen to Bob & Dan or Weenie and the Butt for pointers.

F'n edit timer... You need to end with a Why Today Doesn't Suck style segment (Blatant theft of Ticket shtick, but it works). Birthdays, Longhorn highlights in history, Shaggy Surly milestones, GTG sites.

You guys are the talent. Roll with that. You need a producer to run the board and audio plus the occasional hot Surly opinion.

No to the ten minute segments.  Separate yourselves from the terrible local sports radio.  Style it more after Rogan.  Just talk.
