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.

Derka story was funny.

 

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

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...

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."

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'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.

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.

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.

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.  

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.

It's styled after Rogan now. 

 

We will get there with the audio quality. Thanks to @Captainant for hand delivering his blue yeti.
