You didn’t ask for it, but when has that ever stopped us? Last night was our second run at the first ever joint venture Desipio-Hire Jim Essian podcast. We did one on Monday, that shockingly went smoother than the one we re-did last night, except for the fact that Kermit’s headset didn’t like the software and he sounded as though he was underwater. We should have just pretended it was a podcast about scuba diving and published that one.
But, we gave it another shot last night, and the result is a podcast where you can hear both of us. Kermit sounds clear as a bell. Me? I sound like Charles Nelson Reilly’s slightly butcher sister. I’m blaming that on the Interwebs.
Follow the link and you can listen to the podcast and you can even subscribe to it on iTunes if you want. I did, and this morning when I opened iTunes I had two Podcast downloads start automatically. One was this one, and the other was a new Bill Simmons one. The little guys who live in my iPod must wonder why I feel the need to download not one, but two sports-related podcasts hosted by smartass, lisping, douchebags. Hey, at least Simmons gets paid for his.
So what did we talk about? Oh, we covered the Cubs like nobody’s business. Provided you are interested in Gary Majewski, the Duncan family, Mitch Williams, Whitey Herzog and a shirtless Charlie Weis.
Focus, is not our strong suit.
In the coming weeks we’re going to try to drag some of our friends into this. And, the software we use to make the podcasts allows people to follow along live as we do it and ask questions. My god, why would you want to ask us anything?
And, since we’re famous (completely not) Interwebs stars, it’s time to call in some favors and see if we can convince our Cubs’ media friends if they’ll stop by and chat with us for a while.
Anyway, take a listen. Get ready to cringe and pretend to enjoy it. It don’t cost nuthin’.
Can I call in on a 1-900 #?
I’ve never, you know, “done it” wih a frog before.
Cardinal stuff is gold, fellas. I guess that’s not surprising, but still…
Kerm and Andy sound like us, except they’re actually entertaining.
I thought I was known as “The Cobra” because when I swung, I appeared to “uncoil.”
But oh, well. The Snake works.
I haven’t listened to it yet, but I’m going to say it’s probably slightly better than a turd sandwich
Not enough alcohol
Andy sounds like me!!!
When I add it to my iTunes podcast list, the podcast is labeled “clean.” That can’t possibly be right.
I am a mere shadow of what I once was….
Oh yeah, it’s so much worse than it used to be.
Boo hoo.
Yeah it can’t possibly be clean can it? I mean bleeps can be funny (see Arrested Development) but I am not sure how I would handle no cursing in Desipio land.
Andy manages to work both “motherfucker” and “bullshit” into the podcast.
He’s doing an impersonation when he says “motherfucker” but the “bullshit” is all his.
Needs more shirtless dudes.
If Andy and Kerm need to sound smarter, I’m sure somebody with broadcasting experience would be happy to join them on the next podcast…
And, no, I’m not talking about Cory Provus.
Saying that Kermit–your friend–is a “smartass, lisping, douchebag” doesn’t seem very nice. Which is inconsistent with your otherwise generally benevolent demeanour.
all swear words are me
An hour and 33 minutes? Really?
There’s already a Cubs blog called me.
Good thing I’m not a Cubs blog, then.
Furio. His name was Furio.
I listened to some of it. Andy and BK sound like men. That’s not exactly a bad thing, though. For some reason, I expected higher-pitched voices. Andy also sounds much heavier than he looks in all of my pictures of him. BK’s not as angy-sounding as I would’ve liked, but I only listened to the first 1:30 because of a previous engagement that didn’t allow me to finish it but did allow me to comment on it quietly. I do think BK was flipping off that cheap microphone or whatever it was the entire length of the podcast. I don’t know why you guys wanted to talk about some Aussie that never writes on Desipio. That bored me. From now on, only talk about stuff that interests me. Some subjects you two need to bone up on are Felix Pennsylvania’s journey back to Wrigley, best ways to keep ants out of your house, NASCAR, Marcus Monk, the SEC, the Office, NCIS, SSM, SSM contributors, the Toyota Tacoma, and the price of stamps.
Huh? I sound heavy?
Just a little. I don’t mean you sound like BH or anything. I just got the impression, from the sound of your voice, that you would’ve rather been eating a Steak ‘Um at that point in time rather than flirting with BK over the internet. I didn’t mean anything bad by it. Just eat your Steak ‘Um before the show next time, Big Guy. And I don’t mean “Big Guy” in the way that you’re hefty. Don’t get a complex about it or anything. I mean it in the folksy way. The 1:30 that I heard was good. Just eat before the podcast next time and, in the first 1:30 of the show, talk more about stuff that I, personally, want to hear about. That’s all. You and BK done good from what I hear. Keep it up. Except the parts that need changing.
I’ve got 19 minutes on Toyota Tundra for you next week.
Hey fans! Wanna help flood victims and also get a great keepsake to treasure for your lifetime and hand on from generation to generation?

As you can see by the ‘ol Will Smith blockbuster I scrawled that my handwriting is just as precise as my grasp of the strike zone.
This isn’t gonna go cheap but the winning bidder can rest assured that its for a good cause….and the value should only increase with each trip back to Iowa I take before being out of options and end up getting traded to Oakland for Gio Gonzalez in 2010.
TACOMA!
Haven’t we suffered enough? Keep your charity Pie….and then when you are done go ahead and pull of your mask to reveal your true identity…the third Patterson brother…Chet Patterson.
Tacoma?
Shit, I have nothing for that.
Bravo Andy. I’ve not heard such stirring commentary since the radio show I did with Jonesy on WKDI back in the day at NIU. You got Jonesy to curse on air. Good Times. Good Times.
To my discerning ear, Andy and Kermie had the well-modulated, dulcet monotones of Ana Gasteyer, Molly Shannon, and Alec Baldwin in the infamous SNL skit , “Season’s Eatings” (a.k.a. “Schwedde Balls”).
Ummm…..Good times….Cubbies are winning……yeah, good times.
Boys, this is fun, but I gotta run and perform some more fecal ebullation………
Later girls,

Kerm sounds like me.
Little Shaver,
It didn’t take much to get Jones to swear.
true that
