Default Podcast Interview with Sureloss

Hey guys.

A couple CPers I know and prefer to remain anonymous have decided to get a podcast going and just did an interview with our resident newsbreaker Sureloss.

Link:
http://ostalk.podbean.com/ - Episode 8

It was a pretty fun experience, and I am already looking forward to doing my next one.

Also the sports podcast is genuinely good too.

Cool! Thanks guys.

To be fair, sureLoss totally sounds like a robot, especially the laugh part. All the same tone and frequency.

We programmed him that way after Morgan Freeman wouldn't do the voiceovers for us.

  • I am not a robot
  • I don't have many computer screens
  • I only have one laptop with a Tweeter feed
  • I love Edmonton Oilers and think they will be a great team with McDavid...
  • I am honestly not a computer.

Do you find them offensive? Would you like to talk about it?

I was honestly expecting it to be a video interview with the face scrambled and the voice modulated.

No, but dozens would try, and there would be more responsibility on us as fans to wait/verify before believing anything.

Good interview, keep up the good work

Sureloss do you work from home or own your own business? You don't seem to miss anything no matter the day or time.

I would think the opposite. I spent hours and hours on here when I was an employee. Now, I am... I never expected I'd say this... motivated.
