Drive For Five BlogTalk Radio Show, Wednesday August 4th, 11PM ET/10PM CT

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I decided to put together a radio show for this coming week so we can all discuss the offseason that the Spurs had as well as what we can look forward to in the 2010/11 season. I don't think it'll be weekly or anything, but hopefully it'll be fun nonetheless.

On Wednesday, August 4th, the show "Drive For Five" (hopefully timvp doesn't mind) will be live at 11 PM Eastern/10 PM Central time right here:

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/amuseddaysleeper/2010/08/05/drive-for-five

Call in # (347) 838-8163


This is my first time doing one, so hopefully there won't be too many hiccups. I look forward to hearing from a lot of you, be it actual posters as well as trolls and alter egos. The show will last roughly 45 minutes. Hopefully this thread can get pinned somewhere so we can have a decent turnout :toast


I look forward to hearing from a lot of you. Plus come on, I can give you 40 million reasons to call :flag:


Thanks to Ginobili2Duncan,DesignatedT, and mouse for calling!

[spursncowboys]

[Leonard Curse]

[rjfan2spurs]

[Amuseddaysleeper]

haha, well there was already another thread on this, but it was under the thread title "Kori Ellis Show" so I'm assuming most of the posts were in there from before. Hopefully it's a decent turn out, and I don't have to ramble by myself for 20 minutes.

And thanks Leonard :toast

What's the point of posting here now if the show is on Wednesday and you're going to call in anyway?

[Em-City]

[Budkin]

Thanks for picking up where Kori and timvp left off Amused!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Thanks for picking up where Kori and timvp left off Amused!

:tu anytime. I'm a little nervous not gonna lie, but I'm sure everything will be fine. You guys brought a lot of great takes last time so I look forward to it!

[austN Spur]

good luck. I'm just hoping i can get my woman off zooworld during that time. your show is gonna start right around the time she gets online at nights.

:toast 85 days until the season kickoffs

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Ahhh gotcha. I initially wasn't too crazy about the 11 PM Eastern start time, but everything between 5-9 PM was taken. I figure a lot of you seem to post on these forums well into the night anyways that maybe the timing isn't too bad.

[jimo2305]

any idea what topics are gonna be talked about?

[ohmwrecker]

any idea what topics are gonna be talked about?

RJ, Bonner, a little more RJ, Bonner, RJ bitchfest, Bonner sandwich jokes, trade Tony, RJ, more Bonner . . .

[Amuseddaysleeper]

any idea what topics are gonna be talked about?

Probably stuff like the expectations we have for Splitter, whether or not Ginobili should start or come off the bench. James Anderson will be discussed as well as.....you.....guessed it....RJ!

[mouse]

Talk about SequSpur,Kori's melt downs,and the Mav krew and I will call in!

[SpursTillTheEnd]

shit i know they better mention malik in this show

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I'll be sure to mention Malik as well as the Mav Krew

[Amuseddaysleeper]

2 1/2 hours till showtime!

[Brazil]

my english is not good enough for this kind of show but good talk to everybody

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Well, even if your english isn't perfect, should you decide you do wanna call, feel free to. And thanks.


I hope someone calls within the first 3 minutes otherwise I'm gonna look like a fool rambling by myself :lol

[Amuseddaysleeper]

On in five minutes, here goes!

[Sisk]

I'll tune in

[Amuseddaysleeper]

And we're LIVE

[TDMVPDPOY]

listening atm

[TDMVPDPOY]

some faggot call in now...fkn

[benefactor]

lol is was that mouse?

[SpursGirl21]

That was sonny from the southside

[Brandon Fraser]

These guys are better than the guys here in Austin are they on every week?

Do they allow questions from the forum?

[Blackjack]

Shit ... I thought I read this thing started at 11. Is this being recorded?

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Nice

[TIMMYD!]

Good stuff for your first show. :tu

[Blackjack]

Did mouse drop the "Free at last!" ?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Shit ... I thought I read this thing started at 11. Is this being recorded?

Yeah I will see when the show can be uploaded. I want to thank DesignatedT and Ginobili2Duncan for calling in. Those first 10 minutes I thought I was going to crash and burn! :lol

I hope you guys that tuned in found it listenable. I'd like to thank the Mav troll that called in! haha

:toast

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

I missed most of it, we need to do this again sometime.

[Ginobili2Duncan]

I wonder who the Mav fan was?

[Sisk]

Good stuff imo. Mouse's call filled in the troll spot.

[DesignatedT]

Yeah I will see when the show can be uploaded. I want to thank DesignatedT and DuncantoGinobili (apologize f I messed up your username) for calling in. Those first 10 minutes I thought I was going to crash and burn! :lol

I hope you guys that tuned in found it listenable. I'd like to thank the Mav troll that called in! haha

:toast

Lol. Now that I got my blogtalkradio debut out of the way, we should set up another one. Ill definitely call in again :toast

btw did it ever tell you how many listeners you had online?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I'd be down to do it again. I thought the callers were awesome (mouse included). I don't know if I need to pick a better time in the future to get more callers. I will try to get the archived episode posted ASAP.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Lol. Now that I got my blogtalkradio debut out of the way, we should set up another one. Ill definitely call in again :toast

btw did it ever tell you how many listeners you had online?

First off, thanks again for calling, you also brought some great takes.

And yeah, I think at it's "peak" it was 32 listeners, which I guess isn't too bad for a first episode. I'd love to have both of you guys back on next time.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

I would have called in, but it totally slipped my mind that this was going on right now. I was posting in the Club and I only caught the last 10 minutes.

[mouse]

Wow I was impressed! You guys do know your Spurs. I know Chris Duel will hate me for saying this but you guys managed to talk more Spurs in 45 minutes than the ESPN zone did all week long.

I can tell you guys need 3 or maybe 5 shows back to back and you will sound like the pros.

I hope you made a demo tape many radio stations look for fresh talent.

Mix in some cool music and trash talk to the Mavs and Lakers and you will be on my short list of sports shows to tune into.

I will call in next time I hope you guys have another show?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

No worries, I'm debating whether to do another one of these but I am sure I will. I will have the entire episode up anywhere between 15-30 minutes. That's how long before they send me a link for the listeners to hear an archived episode.

For those that missed the first 10 minutes, I am eternally grateful :lol

[Blackjack]

Yeah I will see when the show can be uploaded. I want to thank DesignatedT and DuncantoGinobili (apologize f I messed up your username) for calling in. Those first 10 minutes I thought I was going to crash and burn! :lol

:toast

I may be The Omnipotent but that was certainly MAN'S GAME of you to do that on your own. Hopefully I'll get a chance to listen to it but I don't need to hear a word to know that was a Spur-worthy contribution and what - RTB - is all about. :tu


Did mouse drop the MLK "Free at last!" to end the call or what?

[benefactor]

I didn't get home until like 5 minutes before you went off, so I didn't get a chance to call. I will try to make the next one.

[DesignatedT]

First off, thanks again for calling, you also brought some great takes.

32? not bad at all. I think wednesday night would be a good time to have it if you were to consistently have it weekly or every other week or something. maybe move it to 9 instead of 10.

[benefactor]

I out of the house until at least 10 every Wed...but I can do any other night during the week.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Mouse was beyond hilarious when he called. I didn't hear the "Free At Last" bit but then again there some minor moments with the caller dropping in and out. And thanks for the kind words buddy :)

DesignatedT, I also prefer a 9 pm CT time, but when booking shows all the days either give me 5:30 pm CT (too early, imo) or then 10 PM CT. I'll see what I can do.

[Blackjack]

First Harlem and now Sisk . . .

You people are really trying to confuse the 'Jack with these avatars, aren't ya?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Thanks mouse, I appreciate you calling you were jokes :lol

I will hopefully get something setup next week. Maybe even have a caller on the line to begin the show, the first 5-10 minutes aren't so awkward.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

I'm nervous myself to listen to the first 10 minutes

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I'm nervous myself to listen to the first 10 minutes

:lol

and first caller around 14 minute mark

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

I'm kidding, I'm listening now and you're doing a damn good job.

[TDMVPDPOY]

first 10min was boring when he ran out of stuff...i tune out, fkn miss out on the ppl callin in, listeninn to the dl now

maybe u should do talks b4 game time or during half time and end of the game...

[DesignatedT]

NBA on NBC theme song makes the show that much better imo.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Yeah it was rough in the beginning. Around the 14 min mark we finally got a caller. Also gave you a birthday shout out towards the end :toast

It was my only saving grace :lol

[TDMVPDPOY]

sweet

[TIMMYD!]

The opening didn't sound bad at all, you actually did a good job of keeping the talk alive.

[Blackjack]

Dude ... you got Tesh!?! :wow

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Yeah you really did. I'm at the first caller right now! Nice!

[Blackjack]

I'm at the 11-minute mark and I haven't heard one "And boom goes the dynamite." moment.

Actually pretty damn solid for a rookie in a debut. :tu

Having said that, as I'm writing this, you just had a hostgasm when you realized you had a caller. Good stuff. :lol

[TDMVPDPOY]

gee's got potential, remember JJ when he was with the celtics, he was a fkn nobody....

now look at him robbing the hawks 2 contracts, not that gee can pull that off, but he can be another ball handler on the court offensive threat and defense

[TDMVPDPOY]

seems like kori/timvp has a competitor on the airwaves... :D

[DesignatedT]

I think Gee can play. Biggest question mark was his defense and he showed dedication and improvement in that area during the summer league. I just don't know if he is ready to be a primary NBA backup but I sure hope he gets a chance.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

lmao DesignatedT "lets get of this Heat topic"

[TDMVPDPOY]

the tp talk at the end...

theres a fkn darkhorse i think will sign him...clippers still have cap space next season right??

he go to LA to further his wives career or whatever crap his doing on the side to further his dreams

ps. dont think lakers have shit to sign him to besides MLE...then again dont see the spurs doing a sign n trade with the fakers

If Griffin proves to be a force in clipperland I could see Tony going there.

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

lmao mighty mavericks

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

lmao "what were we talking about again?"

"Bonner"

"Bonner"

"Oh yeah thats right... Bonner, Bonner and his minutes"

That was good haha

[TDMVPDPOY]

lmao "what were we talking about again?"

"Bonner"

"Bonner"

"Oh yeah thats right... Bonner, Bonner and his minutes"

That was good haha

the bonner talk about his new contract....not only that was overpaying, his previous deal was also overpaid, that dude should be flippin burgers on minimum wage...

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Just finished it. Really good job Amuseddaysleeper :toast. Hopefully I can catch the next one

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Dude ... you got Tesh!?! :wow

:hat

And thanks to you and all the others for the kind compliments. It really means a lot because for a second there I thought I was going to crash and burn for sure.

SpursNextRomanEmpire, I hope you not only listen, but call in as well next time. :tu

I'll probably make the next one an hour long so we can really get into some deep convos about the Spurs.

As for the Bonner thing, props to mouse, he completely threw me off after he called in :lmao

[jimo2305]

aww man.. i totally missed it.. i was passed out all day from a long day at work :(

i promise i'll catch the next one

[TDMVPDPOY]

aww man.. i totally missed it.. i was passed out all day from a long day at work :(

i promise i'll catch the next one

u can dl the link provided and listen to it

[jimo2305]

u can dl the link provided and listen to it

thx listening now :toast

[koriwhat]

checking it out right now... @ the 21 min mark atm

[jimo2305]

lol man.. mad props for lasting that long before the first call!

im at the 15 min mark haha

[jimo2305]

"......................................."
".........do i still have you on the line?.........................."
"...............yah..........."
"oh ok good i thought i lost you.."

:lol

[jimo2305]

listened to the whole thing.. it was good.. lookin' forward to next week's.. ill def. be callin' in ;)

[koriwhat]

good show man! hope there's more in the future.

[Interrohater]

Nice job, Amused. Impressive. If you change up your times, I'll call in from Iraq, but then you'd have to do your show at around 4pm Central, which is no good. Keep it up, people are clamoring for more!

[johnnySpurs]

I caught the last 20 or so minutes last night. Was just about to tune out when the conversation turned to Miami Heat talk, but it went back to Spurs pretty quickly.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

"......................................."
".........do i still have you on the line?.........................."
"...............yah..........."
"oh ok good i thought i lost you.."

:lol

Haha, yeah I re-listened to all of it and there were a couple less than stellar moments but sometimes the caller would drop in and out slightly so it was hard to tell if I had lost him completely or if he was simply done talking!

But I'm sure the next one will be much much smoother. I won't even mind doing the show on Sundays if that's easier than Wednesday's at 10. I'll also be sure to pet the Central time for the show first instead of eastern.

It's also good to know how many people want to keep it focused just on the Spurs. Maybe I was about to run out of topics and had to change it up to the Heat or something at the time :lol

Thanks again for the nice comments guy, it means a lot.

[jimo2305]

not your fault.. not much happening currently in the spurs world tbh.. even the local sports stations barely talk about the spurs..

id be less likely to listen live on sundays but move it or keep it to whenever it's suitable for most..

[koriwhat]

i liked the variety of talk from heat to spurs etc...

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Yeah, it would also be cool to talk more about some of the things going on here on Spurstalk.. not sure how but that would be fun.

[Interrohater]

Hey man, since I won't be able to call in your next show, will you read off some questions if I send you a PM?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Absolutely.

:tu

[johnnySpurs]

Oh, don't get me wrong.... I don't mind some 'around the league' talk as well. Just a little Miami Heated out right now.,. especially since I live in South Florida.

At any rate, will definitely tune in next week. May call in as well. Keep up the good work.

[mouse]

Thanks again for the nice comments, it means a lot.

Unless your name is mouse.

I am over here talking to people on my personal time who are in the radio biz about your show and you can't even acknowledge me?


It's cool I can take a hint your on your on esse.

[SpursGirl21]

can females call in? :)

[MannyIsGod]

At some point last season this forum really started to turn around and a lot of posters started to shine. This is simply a continuation of that. I gotta admit, at one point I thought we were never going to have ST shine again but some of you are really bringing it.

Great job on the show.

[SpursGirl21]

Great job on the show.

Then get off your overly educated beaner ass and call in next time! :toast

[Em-City]

My bad, thanks again for calling mouse, do so again next week, you were awesome.

Right now, I have the show scheduled for next Wednesday at the same time. It'll definitely be much smoother next time, I'm sure.

SpursGirl21, absolutely! It would be great to hear from girls on the show.

MannyIsGod thanks for the awesome comment. I've known you posting since I first started back in 2004. Thanks man :toast

And thanks to everyone else for the comments.

Ill try to listen live next time good show. :flag:

[Nathan89]

I just listened to the link that you posted of the show and I thought you did a great job. Two:tu:tuUp. I am surprised that you only got a max of 35 listeners at any point in time. Do another one sometime in the future and I will try to make sure I can call in.
