KrisZ Posted December 29, 2013 Report Posted December 29, 2013 And me being sick as fuck that night running a 102.5 fever
goodhelmet Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Posted December 29, 2013 Yeah, the audio issues are comical... Kris is sick, I am puffing on a pipe and it picks up every drag, Charles' phone is making a beeping sound whenever he talks and somebody was exercising during the show. Weird shit.
WingedEagle Posted December 29, 2013 Report Posted December 29, 2013 Nice! Stay on this roll and I'll be a happy man.
goodhelmet Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Posted December 29, 2013 We have Part 2 coming up later this week. Then, Johnny Sorrow, myself, my buddy Johnny P and a special guest debut a new podcast.
bradhindsight Posted December 29, 2013 Report Posted December 29, 2013 Yeah, the audio issues are comical... Kris is sick, I am puffing on a pipe and it picks up every drag, Charles' phone is making a beeping sound whenever he talks and somebody was exercising during the show. Weird shit. Even my wife laughed when I read her this post
goodhelmet Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Posted December 29, 2013 Nice! With all the audio things, still tons of info in here and full disclaimer.. this is not a history of Japanese wrestling. There is some of that. This is more of a pimping podcast where we hype the big players, the big matches and important feuds. It really is designed to convince somebody who is apathetic or hesitant to watch puro that it is worth exploring.
Zoo Enthusiast Posted December 30, 2013 Report Posted December 30, 2013 The audio definitely gave the show some... character!
Superstar Sleeze Posted January 15, 2014 Report Posted January 15, 2014 80s New Japan in general is a huge blind spot for me. The information about New Japan/UWF feud was much appreciated.
