Random Thoughts

[DScott]

Someone else has to do the echo to everything though.

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

So do we wish to have any segments other than Kristen’s Questions, or is that all? It would definitely be fun to put together a snippet of the Once Upon a Time thread, if possible.

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Everybody records themselves saying “everything” and you stick them on top of each other?

[Jeff Ross]

I’m looking forward to this project coming together, whether we end up needing my clips or not. (Or editing in parts of them.) It was a fun test to record & edit the clips since my knowledge of my microphone & Audacity is constantly improving.

As for the “Everything” echo in my clip, I was able to make it sound different enough from my normal speech in the recording that it comes across as a good parody. That being said, it would be cool in the ideal script to have many people saying “Everything”.

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Mass “coming up in this episode” and “this week on the Aux Cable” would also be entertaining.

[Jeff Ross]

Where we all have high pitched voices? That might be hard to pull off en masse…

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Ah, well some of us may have to stay low, or else our mics will spike very very badly.

[Masøn M.]

I would stay deep, I’d like everyone to keep their hearing…

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Same.

[DScott]

I like Josiah’s idea of everyone saying everything. Maybe ‘Once Upon A Time’ can be the advertisement.

[Poulet Frit]

Give me…24 hours.

I’ll have those questions.

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Heh, thanks, I try. Oh, that’s a good thought…
Excellent, thanks Kristen!

[Poulet Frit]

Where do I put the questions? Here? The email?

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Ah… good question. Maybe here so that we all have access to them?

[DScott]

Here are the ideas for segments, if case we want more.

Masøn quotes Twenty One Pilots – Josiah
Josiah corrects grammar – Franklin
Word Association: Live! – Masøn
Brooke talks about Phineas and Ferb – Awkward
Dramatic Preview of ‘Once Upon a Time’ – Masøn
Jeff’s Infatuation Station commercial – Awkward
Kristen and Josiah have an Epic Rap Battle – Masøn
Josiah corrects people’s grammar throughout – Josiah
Song parody – Josiah
Masøn plays the Uke – Masøn

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Hmm… all of those are good options, but some of them I’m really not sure how they would work in the context of the other segments.

[Masøn M.]

If I did the TOP quotes it would be fun to read them like slam poetry, since that’s how most of the rap verses are written…

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Wait, what is Slam Poetry? I’ve heard of it, but I’m not really sure what it is…

[Jeff Ross]

Slam poetry is poetry read with all of the emotion, cadence, and gusto of a performer rather than a Literature teacher.

That being said, the coolest kind of slam poetry to watch is deaf slam poetry. Not that we could incorporate that into a podcast.

[Jeff Ross]

(Here is an example)

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Ah. So something I would be terrible at.

[DScott]

Just for the record, the email isn’t set up yet.

[Jeff Ross]

Well, maybe the sign language version, but normal slam poetry just takes practice and pacing.

[Jeff Ross]

Thanks, Franklin. Please let know when it is set up (or however we decide to submit audio files).

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Alrighty.
Haha true.

[Masøn M.]

Well, I am taking ASL as my foreign language, funny enough…

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Hahahaha that’s amusing. Now that I’ve been educated, yes, you should do slam TOP.

[Jeff Ross]

Cool. I actually only have exposure to deaf poetry through Deutsche Gebärdensprache. I’m learning German as a hobby, and Ryan suggested that sign language can help with understanding communication, so I decided to incorporate a little of it into my German learning. Here is a video about a deaf poetry slam in German. Even if you don’t understand German, visually you can understand a good deal in this video:

[Masøn M.]

Also that video was amazing, wow… I love that…

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Ooh, I’ll have to watch that tomorrow, since I know some German.
