Bloopers: I bought a new microphone and put myself on mute to talk to my wife and once to belch loudly.
Problem: The computer was still using the internal microphone which was unaffected by mute.

"speaking of failures"
I like that second attempt at the segue. The first one resulted in about 10 minutes of edited content.

Hooray, our first comment by someone not involved with production of the podcast.

And now for the “notes”, Hollywood style: I was kind of hoping for some audio clips from the big Friday night meet up – an audio podcast would be a perfect place to park a clip of you guys giving the Habs fans the business with a hearty ole ole, or chanting “first round exit”, etc, and it would have been gold to hear (for the first time) the drunken commentary that we ordinarily read (and for which we have to imagine the drunken voices in our head).
That last sentence was overly complicated and confusing. What I meant is that you guys (M. Forbes excepted, seeing as he was with me) seem to have missed a chance to provide actual drunken Jared commentary, in his own voice, as opposed to textual drunken Jared commentary. Maybe next time.
Anyway, despite that disappointment, I found the podcast interesting. Really liked the bit about MLG, its aura, and first games. Like I said, keep ’em comin.

You should have stuck to the first comment >:(
Just kidding. Definitely a dropped ball.

True story:
I actually gave very serious thought to bringing a field recorder to the game specifically for this purpose. I gave up on that idea after realising there was no chance in hell they’d let one into the ACC.

While using the bathroom before a meeting a guy threw the door open sprinted into a stall and made the loudest fart I’ve ever heard. I just burst out laughing.

When I was driving back from Washington, I ripped such a juicy fart in Orchard Park, NY that I had to hold my coffee directly under my nose until Buffalo. I was still laughing when I got to the border.

Yeah, I’ve wondered about stuff like that before too, but my brother brought a recorder a lot like that to the game he and I went to in December. He put some clips on his podcast. They turned out alright.
I kinda figured Chemmy would have the iPhone out and be recording voice memos of all that stuff…

I was really hurtin’ Saturday. To give you a reference I drank around 10 shots this weekend plus beers for my buddy’s birthday and woke up feeling like the champion of the world. I have no idea how much Archi and I drank the night before but…

Oh, I have no doubt. It’s a paradox; the reason the clips would have been so epic is the very reason that prevented them from being collected.

I’m amazed archluke was able to get Chemmy’s unitentional audio out of the mix. The constant rattle adn chime of his ice cubes made it sound like some sort of homage to the Rat Pack.

Chemmy would tell you it’s a dangerous sex act that involves sharp teeth.
According to Urban Dictionary:
Jumping the Shark is a term to describe a moment when somethin that was once great has reached a point where it will now decline in quality and popularity. Origin of this phrase comes from a Happy Days episode where the Fonz jumped a shark on waterskis. Thus was labeled the lowest point of the show.

All done
Loved the captaincy discussion. Some well thought out comments there. would be an interesting topic to delve into deeper (as, I think Chemmy put it…)
mf’s comments re: the transition from one central spot for events, to multiple is quite apt. not knocking new stadiums either, as I like good sight lines, comfy seats, divided urinals and other modern amenities. i just don’t think “The ACC” will ever have the same ring as “The Gardens” or “MLG” ever did…

just finished listening to it.. uncomfortably close to human contact for the interwebs but interesting debate and i enjoyed the listen.. I do think we’ll see a captain named going into the season next year and all signs do seem to point to Phaneuf

we had new year’s parties at our condo 3 or 4 years in a row. in addition to getting juiced again while cleaning up in the morning, seeing how much i enjoyed myself after i blacked out via pictures on our camera was a nice tradition.
Yesterday is dead, but not my memory.
just listening to this now. you dudes don’t sound anything like i thought.

Best part of the podcast
mf(i think): not to mention they have one of the greatest Leafs ever, Nik Antropov. So he’s guaranteed to get a point or two, and Pavel Kubina, who’s good for one powerplay bomb from the point.
Chemmy: Sorry, I know Pavel Kubina, who else were you talking about?
mf: Don’t be a smartass
Chemmy: No, really, I didn’t hear the name, sorry.
mf: Nik Antropov
Chemmy: Did he… did he play here?
mf: I hate you

Chemmy: “…and even though we would have had like a 1.4% chance of winning the lottery, if you had run that 10 000 times, we never would have won the draft lottery.”
Thank you

I got through about 15 minutes of it… right to the part about the old Hartford stadium roof collapsing and something came up.
I’ll re-listen to it later to get the whole thing.
Impressions – great stuff, very good insight and well spoken from all involved.
Nice to not have to hear the old hackneyed and rote phrases from so called ‘mainstream’ journalists.
Good to hear real people talking about the sport they care about and being intelligent about it.
Keep up the good work

First Leafs Game
I can’t remember the dates, but my first three games:
Leafs beat Minnesota North Stars
Leafs beat Pens, Peter Ing gets only career shutout
Leafs beat Winnipeg Jets
Ignoring how improbable it was that the Leafs would be 3 for 3 given hou lousy they were then, I pretty much saw a unicorn in each of these games.

I wish I could remember my first game. All I remember about going to MLG was getting off the subway at College and seeing the murals of Leafs and Habs players. Granted I was less than 10 years old at the time. I think I’ll be asking around the family for some details over the Easter holiday.
