You were part of forum entertainment that will be one of the most watched podcasts in forumville well until it was deleted. If you think posters want 15 minutes of picks that is what threads are for. The SOD POD was entertaining because of Bobby and his wife's entertainment value outside of sports wondering how far it would go and if it would stop. Le is entertainment, the face of BMR, and the MMA queen. Rarely we talked MMA. Posters tuned in for her amazing hosting and Q&A. TTWarrior, no one cared what his picks were. They listened for his entertainment value and what would he do and what questions would be asked to him. Same with brock landers.
Sam you already said you almost always take the favorite. Majority of the posters don't want to listen for 15 minutes when you already have daily pick threads and know who you will be taking ahead of time. They want to see entertainment Sammy. Truth is we only got the majority of the views because of the entertainment value of the unscripted craziness.
When it came to the gambling Vitty and Minny killed it. Now, one is being dangerously targeted by a troll and no one gives a fvck and the other is being turned away from the forum. gL getting anyone on a Podcast putting themselves out there where they are than allowed to be trolled/blackmailed with ransom notes and it be ok.
i agree and i disagree. As a person, you have the ability to entertain or not. It's like singing karaoke. Some people will do it and most won't. Even videos...some people go on camera and most don't like their picture online or wont go on video
combining entertainment and sports talk is the key variable. Being funny is a personality trait. If the main purpose of the podcast is to talk sports and 3-4-5 people are talking, naturally there will be jokes and side talk not 100% sports. You go off topic, then back to on topic
if the purpose of the podcast is to not talk sports, then it shies away from the purpose of what the content is supposed to be about
YES....I do bet a lot of favorites, but how bout a 20 second reason for why I like a team or what did I look into to make that pick
while Bobby and le are talking, maybe I still smoke a bowl and do 10 pushups....that's now combing entertainment and the sports pick.....BOOM back to topic of the sports.
Also you have to keep the attention span. Instagram reels are what 60 seconds, VINE used to be 6 seconds. Podcast is meant to watch/listen on 1.5x speed or even 2x while someone works out or uses as background noise.
Keeping the video 15-20 minutes engages the audience and keeps them at peak before it gets too boring and people scroll to the end
I'm on your team, not fighting against you. I personally don't fear anyone using my image against me as I've been posting since I was 18, literally drinking my first beers on video. I'm from the younger generation that's been posting 5000 pictures on facebook. I'm the guy that would black out drunk in college and post 100 pictures the next day of that night but people love it now because it's all great memories.
in the end, we are all hear to talk sports, make some money, and improve our lives. I'll make videos with no one watching because that's what I enjoy doing, but I'm going to switch the format up a little
worse case no one watches and I keep selling cars. Win win win
LETS RIDE
