CP Radio - Live thread

[JiriHrdina]

Please use this thread to post any comments or questions during tonight's live show.

We'll be on-air at 8 pm (Calgary time) - just click the radio link off cp's home page: www.calgarypuck.com

[Bingo]

Once the show starts in ten minutes ... could someone please indicate that we are in fact on the air and can be heard.

Past that ... technical feedback would be great as well. Are we loud enough? Any distortion?

Thanks

[AC]

I'm cued in waiting!

Maybe place a redirecting thread to this in the main forum?

[Bingo]

and we are on ....

[oilers_fan]

Great sound quality guys. Congrats!

[Bingo]

anyone hear us?

[HelloHockeyFans]

I can hear... all the way from Sacramento, CA!

[fotze]

Greg "the Master" Bates. Bet he has never heard that one before.

[AC]

Yep, sounding great. Impressive radio personalities. You guys sound really comfortable with the setup.

[GoinAllTheWay]

Yessir, but one of you sounds distorted. Could be just me but sounds like there is a ghost voice behind you.

[GoinAllTheWay]

If you made any adjustment, it sounds much better now.

[the_only_turek_fan]

Just getting it started.

[Dodsdomd]

Checking in from Saskatoon. Sounds good guys!

[the_only_turek_fan]

Working....

[kermitology]

Nice radio presence guys.. Grant sounds sort of like Kerr

[fotze]

Sounds good, good choice of crunch, good speaker.

[GoinAllTheWay]

Nice radio presence guys.. Grant sounds sort of like Kerr

I thought it was for the first couple minutes.

[socalwingfan]

sounds professional, well done boys

[kermitology]

Do you guys think that the speed upgrade on the bottom six is a bit of a return to the 2004 playoff style?

[Reggie Dunlop]

More Oiler bashing please...

[chummer]

Good job guys....but who are we listening to?

[kermitology]

You're going to anger Phaneuthier Kerr.. erm Grant

[HelloHockeyFans]

More Canuck bashing please

[kermitology]

Good job guys....but who are we listening to?

Bingo, JiriHrdina and CaptainCrunch

[FanIn80]

Who's talking right now?

[kermitology]

Yeah.. chase them down and beat the hell out of them..

[the_only_turek_fan]

Guys, any chance of having 2 of the big 4 on line one, and 2 on line 2?

??? - Langkow - Iginla
Cammy - Lombardi - Bertuzzi

[GoinAllTheWay]

Do you figure Backlunds play over the two rookie games increased or decreased his chances of making the team?

[Bingo]

Guys, any chance of having 2 of the big 4 on line one, and 2 on line 2?

??? - Langkow - Iginla
Cammy - Lombardi - Bertuzzi

that's what I want

[Flame On]

But that was more so in the first half surely? Re phanuef i mean and positioning.

[flambers]

Sounds great!!!!

[Orange]

Where's the Flames going to stand in the conference?


I'd rather Andre Roy hurt his hand in a fight instead of Iginla again and keep Iginla on the ice

[FanIn80]

Wow. You know, this site never ceases to amaze me.

This show is going to be awesome. We're a very lucky fanbase!

[HelloHockeyFans]

bwa ha ha ha who was it that called them the "Edmonton Smurfs"? Awesome!

[fotze]

Just cut out for a bit for some reason

[kermitology]

Bingo's awesome..

[flambers]

Who is the surprise player in this year's training camp.......

[FanIn80]

Smurfs lol. Nice!

[fotze]

bwa ha ha ha who was it that called them the "Edmonton Smurfs"? Awesome!
I have trouble differentiating between voices, need some oddly voiced fellers

[kermitology]

Just went silent for me..

[Bingo]

everyone else ok?

[Reggie Dunlop]

I'm getting the audio just fine, but the video is kinda jumpy...

[chummer]

The NW is a 2 team race....Coilers and Flames,who takes it?

[kermitology]

Ference has a special place in our hearts because of his participation on the board Grant..

I was hurt when I found out he was traded.

[Dion]

I hear a bit of an echo when people talk.

[FanIn80]

Grant = Jiri?

[flambers]

The audio is fine for me....

[kermitology]

Grant = Jiri?
Yep.. He's the one dominating the conversation. The next most present guy is Bingo (D'Arcy)

[missdpuck]

Sounds good down here! Cool.

[REDVAN]

sounds awesome. will this be posted as a podcast since I joined in at 8:28???

[fotze]

Suprised jiri hasn;t banned bingo or cap'n yet?

[Iowa_Flames_Fan]

Sounds awesome, guys. I would like to hear a cue as to who is talking a little more often--like maybe Grant could end his questions by saying "What do you think about that, D'Arcy?" That way we'd know what voice we're listening to.

But really, this sounds very professional--awesome job, guys.

[FanIn80]

Yep.. He's the one dominating the conversation. The next most present guy is Bingo (D'Arcy)

Awesome. These guys are crazy good!

ps: That means Cap'n is the one that sounds like Norm (from Cheers)... which is exactly how I've always pictured him. :D

[kermitology]

It really helps to identify who's talking when you've met them..

Bingo.. tell people about your basement

[chummer]

One of these guys sure sounds like John Shorthouse of Canucks radio...Jiri?

[Calgaryborn]

The top four D-man will be playing with each other for the second year. Won't that help bring the goals down which should produce a lot more wins?

[Calgaryborn]

Jiri sounds like Rob Kerr and Bingo sounds like Fluery(sober)

[FanIn80]

"That was a jab at Edmonton."

Haha.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Hahaha Stupid Oilers...

C'mon, you want to say it...

[Orange]

Don't forget they lost all-star Jeff Finger! :P

[Iowa_Flames_Fan]

You guys are doing great--you sound knowledgeable and the radio voices are great. At least as good as any other sports analysts on the radio. Seriously.

[fotze]

Campbell is Thorntons cousin

[FanIn80]

Bff!

[Dion]

You guys are doing great--you sound knowledgeable and the radio voices are great. At least as good as any other sports analysts on the radio. Seriously.

They all sound like seasoned pro's.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Howson bashing...

[kermitology]

Love the jab at Lowe Bingo.. that was really funny.

[HotHotHeat]

Have to add that I'm also impressed. Great radio voices.

These are daily, right? haha

[MrMastodonFarm]

Good stuff guys, enjoying the conversation.

[kermitology]

D'Arcy's really funny.. Great wit

[Hyde]

You guys sound great.

[MrMastodonFarm]

Radio doesn't bring out Bingo's thinly cropped beard. See local sports show circa early 2000.

[Otto-matic]

Good job guys!

This will be my regular radio broadcast now

[MrMastodonFarm]

Grant is a fantastic host.

[the_only_turek_fan]

Guys, great West preview.

What are each of your predictions for the top 8 this year in the West?

[SportsJunky]

Very entertaining guys. Rob Kerr and Norm from Cheers are awesome.

[Kipper is King]

Will this be on iTunes as a podcast?

[HelloHockeyFans]

These guys blow many other Sports Talk shows out of the water... easily...

[kermitology]

This is honestly a better radio show than something like Flames at 5..

My favourite part is how you guys are also looking AROUND the league and in a pretty open minded way.

[Kipper is King]

The Sporting News picked the Oilers to win the NW.

[HelloHockeyFans]

Yay, very slight, but still a jab at the Canucks!

[Flame On]

Old Powerplay quarterbacks no less.

[photon]

Will this be on iTunes as a podcast?

Yes, as soon as the minimum required 3 or 4 shows are done.

[Vulcan]

It sounds like you guys have put a some effort into being prepared for each subject. It's flowing well, especially for a first time. Good job

[Flame On]

What do you think of Keenan's ability to get the team back into a more defensive mode?

[FiftyBelow]

Really enjoying the show! I'm at UBC Vancouver for the school year and this broadcast really makes me feel at home.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Norm Peterson makes a good point...

[MrMastodonFarm]

Really enjoying the show! I'm at UBC Vancouver for the school year and this broadcast really makes me feel at home.

Bingo is the Dad on the couch sharing stories
Jiri is the talkative grandfather
CaptainCrunch is the creepy uncle who chimes in every now and then

[Otto-matic]

Man this sounds better than prime time sports with Bob

[photon]

Grant's voice is over-driven a bit, it's clipping or something just a tad, but otherwise this sounds great!

(Sorry, late to the party)

[fotze]

http://www.phillybeerclub.com/Portals/PhillyBeerClub/cheers-norm.jpg
Its weird not hearing jiri talk about the same accident for the 47th time in 15 minutes.

[Otto-matic]

Damn fotze beat me to it

[fotze]

Greentree is skating today, he's fine

[Reggie Dunlop]

[missdpuck]

Norm Peterson makes a good point...
Jeez we'll never look at CapnCrunch's posts the same way again.

[Otto-matic]

Where are they recording this from?

[kermitology]

D'Arcy's totally wicked awesome basement? Drinking his draught beer.

[Bingo]

D'Arcy's totally wicked awesome basement? Drinking his draught beer.

yeah baby!

[Bingo]

love the norm thing

[kermitology]

Uh oh.. House is on

[HelloHockeyFans]

Sweet, Jiri just gave me a shoutout via last name

[Tilley]

Bouma's a 3rd rounder (78th).

Awesome work by the way. A little late to the party.

subliminal fridge .. he's looking right at it!

[kermitology]

subliminal fridge .. he's looking right at it!

lol.. I could tell..

[Montana Moe]

Thanks for the hockey pool segment! Great job guys, sounds good all the way down here in Montana! ;)

[Reggie Dunlop]

Stortini comment from Norm request.

[photon]

Cheers music to end the show! Do it!

[Otto-matic]

Norm has the corner seat on Bingos bar

[Flame On]

Great show/talk guys. I'm going to listen to the podcast again!
When's that on iTunes?

[kermitology]

You guys need to play up the fridge

[jam26]

Fantastic! Great job guys...very professional! Love how you kept it interactive with the CP community by referencing posts and posters.

[photon]

dot ca!!

[kermitology]

Oh man.. it just went Off Air and I didn't get to hear the music!

[chummer]

Nice work guys......as good as anything out there.

[flambers]

Great show guys!!!

[Reggie Dunlop]

Someone needs a Norm Peterson avatar now....

[newts]

great job guys. I was shocked on how good you guys were

[Dion]

Well done guys!

[flaming_potato]

Great job! Sounded good, looking forward to listening in every week.

[JiriHrdina]

Thanks for listening guys

[Hyde]

Great show, loved every second of it.

[Puddy27]

Ya that was a great show guys. It's nice hearing Flames talk on the Radio in Ontario...it's pretty rare here haha.

[Dion]

Someone needs a Norm Peterson avatar now....

Or a new title under thier username :D

[Reggie Dunlop]

Norm!

[kermitology]

Awesome, awesome show guys

[kobafett]

Great job guys.

[Reggie Dunlop]

Good show. Maybe some more production values like music to start and end it.

[IgnitedSoul]

Crap, I missed it!! I can't wait to hear it later...

[Reggie Dunlop]

So, it's like Grant and D'Arcy every week with a guest?

[Bingo]

Good show. Maybe some more production values like music to start and end it.

he had an opening song ...

Cheers theme didn't make it

We have some good communication ideas for next time.

[Bingo]

So, it's like Grant and D'Arcy every week with a guest?

the two every week, and guests as we can and if it shows to be a success. Have some interested parties already and we'll get to them, but would rather iron out glitches and not come out with guests early and then none for a long stretch.

[CaptainCrunch]

Due to popular demand, I've changed my avatar to make you all happy.

[Locke]

Solid work gentlemen, if you ever need a guest willing to slag opponents on air look no further.

You put on a quality production.

[FanIn80]

Haha. Nice. That's the first thing I thought of as soon as I tuned in... How the heck did they get George Wendt on the show? :p

Edit: Err... that was for Norm. Damn you Locke.

[JiriHrdina]

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys - glad to hear you enjoyed it - because ultimately that's what it's all about. Radio without listeners is just guys talking to themselves.

I think for a first live show it went pretty smooth. some things learned, somethings will change for next time, and we'll continue to add layers as we move along here, but it went shockingly smooth tech wise.

Thanks to Photon for helping us get set-up.

[J pold]

I only caught the beginning but it sounded great looking forward to listening to an entire show!

[Phanuthier]

nice debut

Jiri, if you ever do an interview with Kerr I won't have any idea who is who.

[I wanna be like Miikka]

Great stuff guys, perfect show to listen to for my entire class break. Enjoyed all the discussion topics, l loled a few times during the show, especially after the luongo comments.

And Grant, you do sound a lot like Kerr, very solid radio voice. Looking forward to the next show!

[josef]

good job guys - just listened to the show and i really liked it, it´s just too bad that nobody can see how sexy darcy is :D;)

[Locke]

It was IN!!:D

[Canada 02]

Just finished listening to the download.

I'm blown away! To be honest, I was expecting amateur hour.

The convo was seemless; no awkward pauses, umms and ahhs; very professional sounding and interesting content; I'll be listening live next time

[Robbob]

Just finished listening to it and wanted to congratulate you guys. Very well done. Looking forward to the next instalment.

[Machiavelli]

Downloaded this earlier today and just finished listening to the entire thing.

Wow....am I ever impressed. You guys did an amazing job. Everything was so smooth and professional -- I expected a good product but this really blew my socks off.

And for a suggestion: we need to get a female CPer on there as a guest at some point!

[CaptainCrunch]

"You know what would make the show better, even if the Captain isn't on, they can sit around and ask "Where's Poochy errrr Norm errrrr The Captain"

That would be a ratings hit.

[Locke]

Were you drinking a beer during the production? Norm never goes without....

As soon as they have a call-in show I'm calling in to Heckle you...:D

[CaptainCrunch]

Yes, yes I was, I totally fell off of the wagon last night. Call it nerves, or seeing a bar stocked with beer, but it was hockey talk damnit, and it seemed to be the right thing to do.

[Locke]

I'm proud of you.:D

[Robbob]

I feel sorry for Capt. From now on whenever he enters the chat room people are going to yell NORM!!!

[Locke]

Great show, at the end you guys were talking about logistical issues involving tax concerns, if you guys need any tax related info just PM me.

[RougeUnderoos]

Great show. I thought I was a hockey-nerd but I ain't got nothing on you fellas.

One suggestion... for the stupid people among us could you maybe bump the "CP radio" thread on the main board on the day of the show?

"Tuesday @ 8" is an awful lot to remember and I missed it last night.
