Excellent broadcast.

Thank you, TRAIN!

*Thumbs his nose at Frump the Grump.*

Oh, and the Podcast is up.

Oh, and bit of trivia for everyone who don't know: "The Rocky Mountain House Rabble Rousers" was the original suggestion for the Albertan team. It was shortened to "Rocky Mountain Rabble."

*giggles* Rabblerousers would be a better name for them

Actually, that's the name of their fan club and team band.

nice that is cool

Much thanks! And way to give the FBA some cross-team owner rivalry.

Buck I am creating the the gm of the Spirits as well *giggles*. It going to be cool *smiles*. Also yeah it fun to see those cross team rivalries. Was at the spurs game last night it was awsome. Also got stats up for the team now *Smiles*. I got a mic to as well added your name to skype as well. But yes been working hard on the team currently still in progress is the gm, story and logo *giggles*

nice

Thanks!

Poor Klaus, that must've been a big disappointment for him. He'll probably be able to haul his new team to something. One very good player can make all the difference, unlike EPL (ugh, if I hear "Liverpool" or "Manchester City" one more time I'm gonna yell)

He's going to be one angry puppy going into the FBA. Rolf Korber should be careful-- his decision just put a skilled baller on an opposing team in his division. One who knows all his tricks.

I've been having some thoughts towards Klaus Korber. We've already discussed the future of the Rabble, and Angus MacColl is getting on in years himself.

Nice work! Love the Reverb on the microphone. Can't wait for the season to start, and show just how much a bekilted kat can bring to the boards!

It is surprising how difficult it was to get that reverb right! The AIR Reverb filter I use is designed for music and not voice work, so it took a lot of coaxing to get the heavy ER, low verb quality I needed for that effect. Still, I think it works pretty good! Thanks!

Yeah, I feel bad for Klaus and I would've rather traded with the Typhoons, but we wanted Random in anyway we can.

Great podcast! Can't wait for the other two parts. ;)

You gotta think about your team! And I think Rolf was aware that if the Sand Dollars had picked up Jeff Random, the Howlers would be going to them about trading for Charles Yotechuk, which is why Rolf kept his mouth shut and didn't tell anyone his plan. Not even his son.

Ah. Well, that was rather smart, but boy did he ever risk his son's trust.

It's always the time constraints.,..well as long as you're able to put the podcasts out there it's all good :D

Yeah, the time constraints are a pain. My first edit of this project was 16 minutes long. In order to get all the draft picks in keep it under 12 minutes, I would have had to chop out all of the pre-selections warmup and parts of the draft picks, and I didn't want to remove all the references to everyone's characters. This solution was not something I wanted to do, certainly, but I think it was a better solution than removing all those nice anecdotes.

And of course, none of the insanity I brought into the first half of things gets reported on, because, honestly, what would reporting a zamboni drive-by shooting in the middle of things have done? Not to mention the random stapling accidents...oi. XD

Nice work here man, looking forward to T. Matt's assessment of the next ones!

Yeah, um... no.

To the former as opposed to the latter, I imagine. *chuckle* No worries.

"While Ashton is there in his pink suit and thong...I...I'm guessing."

I can't help but die laughing everytime I hear that. Great pod my friend. Can't wait for the next

Big thanks, Dub-C! Can't wait to get the next bit out either... your performance is so good!!

Yay, the sound effects :B Everything now works together XD

The sound effects are absolutely helping! I was really tearing my ears out over the crowd sounds, though-- I don't have a big enough library for small crowds like what I needed for this event. And I really didn't have anything that had the gasping shock quality I wanted for Jeff Random's pick, though I tried to do the best I could with what I had.

You did awesome job, buddy :B

I like how (excepting Gloria Johnson), the characters T Matt spotlights in the first few minutes were all (spoiler alert :O) ultimately picked in both rounds. But "the viewer" doesn't know that yet. So it's like in the beginning, everybody's on "ground zero", so to speak.
Neat device. ^^

It's all about story-telling! I always try to write my podcast scripts in a way that someone unfamiliar with the event can listen and understand what's going on. And hopefully be tugged along by the story, too.

No transition from "We're done here" to T. Matt's bit? Nitpick-a-rooskie.

Very good descriptions and thoughts. I liked picturing the scenes at the event.

Good point bringing up the fact that the Spectrums have four centers, among other things I noticed and some things I didn't.

I was expecting the Rabble to put something funnier on the card. Maybe their seven-word name would've been better, or "Ima Doofus."

Seriously, when I realized what I was going to have to do to keep the podcast under 12 minutes, I slapped that tag on at the last minute. It's why my voice isn't too enthused, either-- I made the decision after midnight after hours of editing. It's not what I wanted to do, for sure, but I'm just stuck by FA's 10MB file size limit... and my own vanity in compressing my podcasts any further than 112kbps. I need to learn tighter writing.

During the draft, I was scrambling so much keeping up with everyone's picks and updating the slide show, I didn't have time to sit and think about the potential for each choice. When I wrote this podcast, I took the time to look over them, and somehow I had missed the fact that the Spectrums have now just overloaded themselves with centers. The silly thing is, the Spectrums honestly did always just pick the highest-ranked player left on the board, and somehow that ended up filling their roster with big men! Ugh... Spectrums are going to have to make some changes.

And the card joke was a last-minute save... during the draft, I made the honest mistake of calling the Rocky Mountain Rabble the Rocky Mountain House Rabble Rousers. It was later recommended to me that the card might have been written wrong. You're right-- if I had made the decision of the RMR making a joke, I would have written something much funnier.

You know... maybe we can give that card joke some history, to make it an inside joke: "Rocky Mountain House Rabble Rousers" had been originally submitted as a new name, but rejected as too long. But from time to time, it does pop up, usually from someone who wants to annoy Davidson.

To be honest, I'm glad you're keeping these under 12 minutes. As your webmaster, I myself am looking at a size constraint.

I'm glad someone appreciates it!!

I never thought Donell would be taken by the time it got around to the Fusion, but that's just one of those things that's never really known in sports. Guess I'll just chalk up their selection of Murphy to needing a forward more than a center and really liking him better. I like Half-Stripe, but he isn't one of those originally conceived as Glen's "Give 'em Hell Harrys." I ended up breaking up that line anyway because the team isn't so lively.

And I hear Nate Spinner isn't going to be happy with RM in the least.

Yeah, I think Nate Spinner is going to have a TOUGH rookie season.

Well, it doesn't help that Nate Spinner ALSO knows what's going on between Acrutar and Frump.

Have to give you quite correction... Icarus is a BELLYdancer. O.o not just a dancer... o.o just a quick heads. Also, it's is. Long story... requires a magic on how he became a Naga....
