This isn't on iTunes podcast?

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:

 

 

Did Derka post this as an audio youtube as a sort of audition tape for the new podcast? 

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.

Take all of this advice and do the opposite. This is a podcast not some lame ass sports talk radio show.

Agree with drifter. You don't need a formula. Just go with it. 

All of these suggestions will sort themselves out/fall into place if you start drinking heavily 30 minutes before air (pod) time.

Can we do a child round table? I'll provide them

I am already enjoying the fruits of this podcast idea. 

I never complained I never complained. Ok I complained but it was later.

Some constructive criticism. Immamac, youre a bit nasaly which can be corrected with speech/breeathing practice. Speak from your diaphram not your throat. 

It's a really bad radio voice. I couldn't help but be distracted. There was one point Blacklab makes a good point about UM fans and how they arent trailer trash from Detroit and immmac responds with a "mmyea. This is true." and I was just like, I can't even. It was everything and I was dead.

 

But all jokes aside, good stuff Immac and BL, thanks for doing this and yall rock.

Ive got a 7 hour road trip tonight. Gonna binge all the usual longhorn podcast. 

Happy to add this to the list.

Derka got radio voice game though. Dang.

He's an aggy Yankee. Ain't nothing gonna help him.

Can y’all give a little background on yourselves? To an outsider it came off as an aggy and a guy that makes fun of aggy are doing a longhorn podcast. Y’all know your audience, but let the audience know you. And insert a “no homo” when appropriate. 

A-

So, I've taken a bit to think what would be amusing and entertaining. 

First, I would see, if at all possible,  we could get Dirt Bike involved. During the discussion of the "Thread of the week" either one of the Bob's picks, at the end ask, "Dirt Bike, what are your thoughts on that topic?" - Let him say whatever brilliantly insane zen thing he says, follow with, "Interesting take, Thanks Dirt Bike" Make it a weekly sub, and I suspect it will just be a sentence or two. 

Then after "announcements" at the end, roll to the final segment featuring DerkaGoo. Let him pick the topic but require it be related to Longhorn Sports. 

Let him get two sentences in, top over, "Insightful as always" then fade over immediately with Derkagoo rap to close the show. Let Derka post his 2 hour diatribe here for any that would actually like to hear it. 

If possible, and I know I've dreamed a lot already, but.. a weekly recap single slide of MS Paint by Thujones. 

That shit would be amazing. 

What poem was that from? Was that James Joyce?

Lab and Mac have elite skills.  However, if they have mastered the ability to deliver paint panels over pod audio, I will truly be impressed.

also, i want to hear Fenves get interrogated over the removal of the south mall statues, specifically Albert Sydney Johnston's statue.

I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part! And Surly's just the guys to do it.

It's sooner than later... and fuck OU by the way.

just now getting to this, but yeah he absolutely does.  and he's definitely a more entertaining story teller than immamac who spend the first half of the podcast trying to show us all how cool he is by saying fuck over and over.

Don't tell me.. you got a flat, left your lug wrench on the side of the road, and started walking back to get it, and ended up in Norway.

Sounds like something Derka's sock would say
