Raising the Bar: My Contribution

[Kori Ellis]

So... timvp has stepped up his game lately, but what am I doing for the betterment of SpursTalk? To this point, nothing.

People often say, "I'd like to hear what you guys (timvp and I) talk about after the games." Therefore, we decided to let you guys in on it.

From now on, after each Spurs game, timvp and I will do a podcast talking about the game and other things going on around the League.

Also starting next game, we'll set it up on BlogTalkRadio, so that you all can call in with questions or to chat with us live.

Without further ado ...

Ellis Podcast: Episode 1 (http://dailyelements.com/koriellisshow1_0001.wmv)

This isn't meant to be a professional podcast, it's just for fun. So we don't need criticism on sound quality or the such.

Thanks.

[timvp]

The first key to success is to get timvp off your show. Dude sucks.

We need radio experienced people to step up like MikeyP, EricB and PeteB.

[Chieflion]

I am gonna start watching.

[DAF86]

Kori looks nice on that photo, and timvp sounds nothing like I imagined.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Nice one, Kori! Great idea! :) :toast

Just downloading the first one... hilarious already! Nice intro... :lmao

[angelbelow]

This is an awesome contribution. Good job guys!

[dastrey]

Good job guys. I'm sure it will continue to get better and better.

[Ditty]

I thought R.C Buford was talking :lmao

j.k.

[DAF86]

Why do you think that Tim and Camby can't play together? Camby has a jump shot with a great range (I have even seen him hit a couple of threes) and defense shouldn't be a problem.

[jaffies]

timvp sounds nothing like I imagined.

I've actually met timvp, but never heard him speak.

I also met Kris, and remember his raspy noise.

Timvp's voice fits Kris.
Kris' voice fits Timvp.

[timvp]

For the next one, I'll provide a link and the time of the live podcast. Then you guys can come into the chat there and ask us questions, or actually call in the telephone number or thru your computer headset. In addition to being live, it will be available for listening in the archives as well.

Thanks,

Kori

[duncan228]

Fun stuff. What a great addition to the board. Thanks for letting us eavesdrop.

:lol I think Kris was sick then. His regular voice isn't raspy.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Loved it! Absolutely loved it! It's so you.

And there's some pretty decent basketball analysis too.

And humour.

Awesome!

:toast :)

As he said on the podcast, who takes Dirk?

I second that. :lol

I'll say it again:

I LOVE this place!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Kori, who are these Spurs fans that say they want Arenas as a Spur? I've never seen that... they are insane.

I like Arenas, but only as a misunderstood goofball and trainwreck, not as a Spur! :nope

[DAF86]

As he said on the podcast, who takes Dirk?

I'm more worried about Bynum/Gasol.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Me too - to the core. :tu

Even at its lowest ebb, ST is the best place on the Web.

[thOOdee]

great stuff.......hopefully this will echo up to the front office so they can take down notes. especially about the small ball. hopefully ian gets more minutes and not traded for more bonners and short gaurds.

[L.I.T]

Sweet!

More stuff to help procrastinate when I should be working.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'm more worried about Bynum/Gasol.

I'm keen to see what Blair can do against Bynum/Gasol - he is bigger and longer than Malik, and rapidly learning how to defend in the NBA.

[timtonymanu]

for some reason i cannot view the page. it wont display it.

Try to right click and save it on your computer, then play it from there. You need Window Media Player, or something, to play it though.

Blair doesn't have the length to guard Bynum/Gasol.

ok it works now. Thanks Kori! :toast

[timtonymanu]

timvp, you sound somewhat like a young RC Buford. Sometimes I thought I was listening to an RC interview. But that's just me.

[timvp]

Next time I should do this sober.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Blair doesn't have the length to guard Bynum/Gasol.

He's got bulk and a 7'2" wingspan. We'll soon see what he does with it.

[HarlemHeat37]

Another thing going against Blair is that he ALREADY has bad calls/rookie calls against him all the time, and he commits a lot legitimately bad fouls as well..he'll be going against the Lakers, a team that gets more calls than anybody, especially Gasol/Bynum..both of them are masters at verbal flopping and Gasol is great at physically flopping as well to get a lot of foul calls..

I don't like Blair in the foul matchup..

[TDMVPDPOY]

nice job kori

i wonder why mouse doesnt do his own shit like this since his always trying out for that comedy bs competition....

[Bukefal]

Cool feature! :toast

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

BTW, Kori and LJ, you get a "Raising the Bar" medal for this thread! :D

Sad but true. We'll see. I hope Mahinmi gets a run too.

[sonic21]

nice

[DBMethos]

More Spurs-related stuff is always a plus with me, so thanks for this! :toast

[urunobili]

lol timvp sounds REALLY goofy for what i was expecting...

[Summers]

Next time I should do this sober.

:lol Always a good decision. Nice job, guys.

[Phenomanul]

nah.... he's just a little 'laid back'...

BTW Kori; awesome feature! :tu

[EricB]

:lol let me know the when and where and I'll be more than excited to do it.

[Cane]

Good stuff, these topics should be stickied or its title in a different color so everyone can see it right away. Awesome work!

[polandprzem]

[thispego]

do i have a reason to actually use a podcast on my new criphone?

[mookie2001]

oh what a dey


no oscar dela mention in there? scarffed
book me as the first guest for the show, i can even do a 100% accurate thispego impersonation too if you want to have him on too i saidd

[timvp]

I told Kori we need to kick off the real show with Mookie's take on Ginobili.

For reals.

Was good hearing you both though!

[Kori Ellis]

If you guys keep telling timvp that he sucked or sounded goofy, he's never going to do it again and that's not going to be beneficial for any of us. :lol

[ffadicted]

timvp was fine, and Kori sounded nothing like I thought she would lol

Anyway, great job guys, you bring up good points and I hope you keep doing these

[Slomo]

:lol

Actually I was looking forward hearing him again since that legendary Spurs roundtable he did once.


We're just giving him a hard time :D Don't let him off the hook Kori!

[timvp]

If you guys keep telling timvp that he sucked or sounded goofy, he's never going to do it again and that's not going to be beneficial for any of us. :lol

timvp already knows he sucks. That's cool though cuz it wouldn't be fair if he was good at everything :hat

For the next show you should cohost with Mookie. Seriously that would be see some must listen to podcasting. Maybe get a Laker Fan from the NBA Forum ... if the Spurs win, naturally.

I won't be co-hosting with anyone else. People can definitely call in and talk, but there won't be another official co-host or anything.

Pretty good idea.

Win or lose...I think Allanon would be a good one. He is always pretty even with his takes.

[Spurs Brazil]

That's great!

Thanks :tu

[Phenomanul]

He sounded knowledegable. That's all that matters... I think people here are confusing the good chemistry both of you obviously share with goofyness... what it sounded like to me was that he enjoyed partcipating in your 'show'... being slightly giddy while doing so... that's partly why the pilot podcast was great.

I've seen timvp in person on two occasions (at home games)... both times all he said was "hey..." as he nodded his head. The last time in 2006 (reg. season Mavs game where Ginobili hurt his 'tail bone' - when LJ was sporting that huge fro...) he was conversing with you, as I walked towards the SpursTalk group... but I really didn't catch the nuances of his speech then... I did notice he had a calm demeanor on both occasions.

BTW you definitely should include some of the out-of-towners like slomo, alamo50 and duncan228 in your show..

[mookie2001]

I just slowed yall down like screw. Putting it on mah mixtape

[objective]

you can do shows focusing on specific players and have ST experts on to give updates on them, like Splitter, De Colo, etc.

--------

btw, timvp's voice sounds a lot like mine.

sorry bro.

[Libri]

:lol

Actually I was looking forward hearing him again since that legendary Spurs roundtable he did once.

Video please.

[urunobili]

I won't be co-hosting with anyone else. People can definitely call in and talk, but there won't be another official co-host or anything.

I have done some radio b4 nothing big... and I get calls to the US as domestic.. maybe one day I could call in... though I hate my voice... it gets the job done when selling :stirpot:

BTW I was just teasing timvp with the goofy comments... he is by far my favorite Spurs writer... (though I would turn off the radio if he was to talk all day about them! lol) :lol

[mookie2001]

I don't think are any de colo or splitter experts on spurstalk, people watch one world championships game and a couple of poor quality youtubes to become experts


If there are I would rather listen to eminem all day than a foreign fans podcasts

[urunobili]

If there are I would rather listen to eminem all day than a foreign fans podcasts

mookie... you fail... I'll give you 100 bucks if you recognize Im foreign when listening me talk... I mean it... :toast

[mookie2001]

Ehhh good for you brah

not that it matters but I bet I could


You know actors do that for a living right?

[urunobili]

Ehhh good for you brah

not that it matters but I bet I could


You know actors do that for a living right?

And isn't that what's it all about when it comes talking in the media?

Do you want me to send you my CV for approval? :lol

[td4mvp21]

I enjoyed this very much. Can't wait for the next one

[mookie2001]

And I can spot it a mile away


What's a cv?

[urunobili]

And I can spot it a mile away


What's a cv?

lol anytime...

and CV means for Curriculum Vitae... have u ever applied for a job in your entire life? I know you guys use "resume" but LMAO anyway :lmao

[IronMexican]

I thought timvp was going to sound black.

[mookie2001]

So you know we don't use ciriculum vitaes but you abbreviated it and then laughed your ass off when I asked what you were talking about

how foreign fan of you


And on this cv you have a recording of your voice, how cute

[urunobili]

no no... no recording.. but you'll know how academically prepared i am or not for such gig...

question for you... sons of americans raised in other countries = foreign fans to your broad mind? I wonder...

[Dex]

Next week, stretch gives his impressions of the Maverick's game:

http://id.mind.net/~syruss/lol.wav

Nice addition to the forum, and good to hear the discussion, as well as hear from you both. :tu Would definitely be interesting to get a few opposing fans takes as well, especially depending upon how the playoffs pan out. We have fans for most of our rivals. Hope this idea takes off.

[PeterBurns]

Timvp....Anything for you guys.....let me know how I can help. Ya'll got my #

[DAF86]

If you guys keep telling timvp that he sucked or sounded goofy, he's never going to do it again and that's not going to be beneficial for any of us. :lol

He didn't suck, he just sounded nothing like his face indicates he would. (does that sentence make sense?)

[Obstructed_View]

Blair doesn't have the length to guard Bynum/Gasol.

Blair doesn't have the height, but he's got the length, which is all that matters. Blair's wingspan is the same as Bynum's and two inches shorter than Gasol's, if you can believe the stats on the Internets.

[Spursmania]

lol anytime...

and CV means for Curriculum Vitae... have u ever applied for a job in your entire life? I know you guys use "resume" but LMAO anyway :lmao

CV is definitely used in the US, I can attest for that. Very normal in our fields of work.:toast

[NRHector]

excellent job, :toast :flag:

[Sense]

I've "met" timvp.. and some Manny as I paid the tickets I bought from Kori... and honestly he didn't sound like he did there...

I'm going to blame technology!

haha he might sound goofy but he's just really laid back.. or so he seemed.


:toast

Good stuff guys... this definitely raises the bar.

[Kori Ellis]

I've "met" timvp.. and some Manny as I paid the tickets I bought from Kori... and honestly he didn't sound like he did there...

I'm going to blame technology!


:lol That might it because timvp just has a deep voice in real life. There's nothing goofy or unusual about it.. it's just deep.

[polandprzem]

Deep throat?

[Blue Jew]

TimVp sounded good, he has a voice for radio, yes he was timid at times and you could hear nerves at work , hell look at Jerry Seinfeld's early work. If your not nervous then your not focused. I think by the 5th show LJ will be as good as Peter Burns!

I will also say they need to let someone else produce the show so they can focus on Spurs and not the sound quality and musical selections.

[Man Mountain]

that doesn't sound anything like Timvp in person. Kori what did u do to him :lol

[mrsmaalox]

That was fun! Thanks guys :tu

[Hooters Girl]

except for Kori clearing her throat at the beginning it was ok. :tu

[Ginobilly]

Timvp doesn't sound goofy or anything, he just sounds white.
