two guys named chris

[alarson]

Just started listening to the latest pod. For the discussion regarding why games aren't selling out this year I think it's similar to movies where performance in a franchise is heavily related to the previous installment. For example: The Matrix franchise. First movie was great, did well. Second movie was really hyped and made a lot of money but wasn't as satisfying for fans. Then the third movie bombed because the second movie lowered everyone's expectations. Back to Iowa State, 2020 blew away expectations, so 2021 was full of sellouts but disappointed relative to fan expectations, and now attendance/ticket sales are down in 2022.

Yeah, i think you can add a lot of factors to it.

What you said is probably part. Ticket prices increasing along with other costs also increasing probably also playing a role. And, lets face it, there's also some amount of ticket drop every year when Iowa isn't on the home schedule (as often picking up a season ticket is the best way to get into that game).

I also wouldnt be surprised if there's a hangover effect from the covid low-attendance season. A lot of people didnt go in 2020 but deferred that money to 2021. So the ticket money was already locked in to ISU for 2021. Wouldnt surprise me if some of those decided they liked staying at home in 2020 more and decided to opt out for 2022.

All these factors combine and there's your few thousand open seats.

I’m enjoying the podcasts on Iowa Everywhere

For sure. The pods with Hassel and Miller especially.

The Jbo ones i've checked out were alright, but having just listened to the most recent one I had to stop and go "how ******* high is Jordan?"

Miller and Chris had nasty reverb. Miller sounds like he’s in an echo chamber. Tough to listen.

They got it fixed after 10 minutes or so, but it was nasty at the beginning. Good pod though.

This is probably my main criticism of these pods so far, the production quality sounds like everyone is using their cellphone. I'm sure it'll improve as the pod network grows and revenue increases.

I quit around 7. Will have to go back.

I listen while I drive.

I think Covid increased the hurt to attendance nation wide. A lot of people got use to the comforts of watching a game at home. Like people say, I got use to having a bathroom next to me, cheap food, and the ability to flip to other games during the 10,000 tv breaks.

 

[SolarGarlic]

I forgot how funny Hassel is. I haven't watched much of him since his WHO days, and thought his trolling of ISU went too far when he was on ESPN. He does a great job of making fun of CW while also being self deprecating.

And it's hilarious that Hawkeye fans hate him because he's too hard on Iowa and too complimentary to ISU.

The Clarinda Academy segment on Monday and the follow up on it on yesterday's pod are some of the best minutes in radio/podcast history

@ChrisMWilliams @brentblum

this week's pod was one of the best breakdowns i've ever listened to on the cyhawk game.

It blew all KXNO/ tv coverage out of the water.

nice job dudes

Made me look! LOL I have to admit I don't catch all the pods.

OK, I had the wrong link. I had never viewed or heard about "Two Guys Named Chris" before. Here is the link I think Dr. bannedman was referring to.

I just finished the one after the Iowa game, with Blum. Very good. Brent did a great job.

I also liked the one this week w/ Chris and Chris, the regulars.

I like the show/pod. How long has it been going?

 

[t-noah]

I am not proud of my adolescent actions.

Obviously you still have a ways to go!

Same for me. Need to do some setup checks before just hitting record. Leaving the early stuff on youtube is fine but they should edit the final product to push out.

I remember playing Clarinda Academy in sports ages ago. They weren't in our conference, but I think we played them once or twice while I was in Jr High and High School. Maybe it was just Jr High, it's been too long

They were big and strong and super athletic. But terribly unorganized and coached.
Almost like Texas the past few seasons! 5 star talent, 0 star culture.

I legit listened to the first few minutes of 2 Guys today at 0.5 speed. Give it a try, it's hilarious, especially hearing Hassel asking Chris if he was drunk.

Funny! I tried it! LOL

For sure. The pods with Hassel and Miller especially.

Are we talking Jordan Bohannon here? I know he is doing some podcasts; I looked him up.

But could you give me a link? I thought everybody here hated him?

Is he OK after being punched last year? Was it an ISU guy who did the punching, or do I have that wrong? And what happened to him (the puncher)?

He hasn’t been bad, but this week he only knew one adjective

 

[MrTippet]

A new show announcement was teased on yesterdays Chris and Chris. Has anyone seen if that has been announced yet?

I see they are nearing 1,000 subs on YouTube also.

I'm assuming it's going to be CW talking about various food items and what their proper name is.

Opening show debates chili, should there be beans or not, and is Skyline Chili actually chili?
