browncast #13 – knuckle cake

OK, so I think we have finally figured out this whole phone thing. We got it down so we can accept calls as well as make them. I think we have also realized that these things shouldn’t be any longer than an hour. This episode we discussed brunch, guitar center, puking, and the reason why Rick Ross is better than indie rock. We also received some calls about sexual acts. Wrong, I know, but it makes for interesting conversation.

Being that we have the phone working, we encourage anyone reading this to call in. Give us feed back, tell a joke, or just rant about a certain conversation. Do it! – 269-350-9531 or you should feed the browncast.

browncast #012 – case of beer for it

joe — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 02:47:39 +0000

In the 12th installment of the browncast we hit on a couple of things. Firstly, Dave’s xbox got the red ring of death. Then when adam tried to purchase all of the games and accessories for a case of beer, laughter ensued. Again, a nice portion of this episode consisted of car talk which is always interesting.

This episode was a first for trying out our new way to record phone calls. A couple of weeks ago, we purchased a magic jack. Turns out, if you keep the bandwidth down, it works pretty good. We ended up getting some stories about fishing in the north of Stutz. Always a good time.

We’re still fishing for topics here. You can email us or feed the browncast!

And if you really want to get personal, give us a call at 269-350-9531 and leave a message. We’ll play it on the show.

browncast #011 – Moma Rosas

Tonight we huddled and thought, four minds are better than one. Lets do a browncast! So we did. And we’re bringing it back.

Most of the conversation consists of telephony and pizza. But I tend to think of it as internet radio gold. Three jerks thinking they know whats better for each other.

Whatever you do, don’t forget to feed the browncast!

Cheers,
Joe

browncast #010 – active stick

joe — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 23:20:07 +0000

So we finally did it! Ten episodes. Acatually, we’ve had some previous attempts at number 10, but after a couple of them, it ended a lost cause. This episode includes commentary by Jason, Dave D, and Ashley. Our hopes were so high after the red wings beat pittsburgh in the first game of the 2009 nhl playoffs’ final round. Oh, and we talked about rodents, the death of old media, and the summer months ahead.

We have big hopes for the browncast this summer. So please don’t forget to feed the browncast! Let us know how you really feel.

browncast #009 – jose without an o

The latest installment of the show is a short one. We seemed to have a bad case of ADD that night and I suppose a little worn out from the work week. It makes me wish I could record this during the day. Maybe we should try this format for the next episode. Its the tenth one. Being that its a milestone in my eyes I want to do something special. Dave brought up the idea to make a “best of” mix which would be a good idea, but there’s not that much content here and frankly I’m too lazy to do it. So maybe if I find the time.

Anyway, we talked about the comings of spring and our new theme song. The dudes in Deisel Boy were nice enough to let us use their song for our show. Go check listen to their music on their myspace page. Pretty sweet band. Though I don’t think they are actually a band anymore. Sorry cheeky, you had a good run. Maybe next time.

Oh, and send us an email. If you have a question or just a demeaning comment, we’d love to hear it.

browncast #008 – TGIF-day

joe — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 03:29:42 +0000

Do you ever get that feeling like its Friday night and the year is 1994? I do sometimes. I sometimes get that reminder of laying on the carpeted floor in the middle of the living room wishing my life was as sweet as Mike Seaver’s. We all tried to recreated that feeling for this episode and didn’t come too far off. Not only were the topics 90′s related but so was the audio. I kind of messed up on this one. After a couple listens, I actually think I recorded the whole thing through the macbook’s internal mic. But for some reason, the mixer was working during level checks. This just goes to show, the further these episodes go on, the further I do not progress with the audio engineering. Its not that bad though. So enjoy.

Oh, and we are on itunes now. Go to podcasts and search for the brownout. My next step is to put create the enhanced audio with with album art and shit. Then we can put a link on the site to it.

browncast #007 – taco balls

joe — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 02:55:25 +0000

We brought a few podcast virgins on this episode and all ideas were forgotten after the first three minutes. Cars were talked about, weed was talked about and the fact that firefly might be the most dangerous drink on the planet is something that should not be talked about. This was the precursor to the boo boo juice party. We talked about that and how the great mixologist could have done things different but didn’t. And it turned out great.

browncast #006 – new president

joe — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 02:42:38 +0000

This episode only brings drunken banter after a night of (and or) day of eating chili in the meat (pun intended) of Kalamazoo. Cold and full of cheese fries, we talked about how awesome it was to have a new president. Oh and that dave used to be a lot warmer in his life. Diamond dave makes a cameo, so hold on and wait for the van halen references.

For the record, we call it the fifth browncast on the recording, but on a technicality, its the official sixth.

browncast #005 – on the hip-hop frontage

joe — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 02:01:12 +0000

Tonight we ventured into new territory. I picked up a cheap web cam and attempted to stream the show live. We will try to continue this trend from hear on out. Check out the the stickam page for the show. It will contain most of the past shows. In this case, this is great because as I attempted to mix and put the latest show up, I see that no audio got recorded. Not the brightest of minds we are, but that didn’t stop us from adding plenty of sound effects as well as the new sound board.

So unfortunately, we won’t have any downloadable audio this episode. But we got video, so enjoy!

Oh, and don’t forgot. Email us at thebrowncast@joef.org or leave a comment to let us know what you think.

browncast #004 – default then

joe — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 03:41:51 +0000

Thursday nights of unexciting events call for talks of miss Michigan pageants. Not only did we talk about how squeaky the stools in the brownout are, we talked about how hospitable the local bodegas are. Our dear friend Russ Strong chimed in to put his cents in and all was welcome.

So crack open that high life and try to figure out when that one day will come where I get the initiative to mix these podcasts once they are recorded. Seriously though, we apologize about the audio quality of this whole thing. We are looking into new ways to make it better. And, like always, give us your input – email us at thebrowncast@joef.org and give us your feelings. I mean true feelings. This is the internet and there is no holding back. Say whatever you want and we will read it on the show.

Sincerely,

Joe
