He That Will Thrive, Must Rise At Five

Don’t look now, but we’re minus 10 hours and counting until the Bulls-Heat start the 2006-07 NBA season / I yell expletives at Antoine fucking Walker.

As you can probably imagine, I’m pretty excited to watch some goddamn basketball again. (So is Dear Leader, Kim Jong Il I hear.)

Anyway, this is just a reminder that we’re not kidding about this whole “podcasting 5 times a week” thingamajig.* I mean, yes, it’s pretty fucking stupid, and yes, we’ll probably kill each other on air by week three, but no, it’s not a lie. This is definitely for real.

Yup, starting tomorrow at the ass-crack of dawn — aka 5-ish — Tas, JD, and I will be recording our first of many daily morning shows — tentatively called ‘The Fix’. (Anyone got something better? We’re all ears…)

If things go smoothly, you can probably expect to see and hear a ‘cast on here (and in iTunes for our loyal subscribers) by 7, 7:15am EST. (Note: Things will not go smoothly. In fact, I’m pretty sure it’s impossible for things to go smoothly at that time in the morning. Yes, I’m telling you now, we will be sluggish for the first couple of shows. Please bear with us.)

And now to the real purpose of the post… BEGGING!

As I’ve said before, we need some crazy listener participation for this show to have any chance at succeeding. Seriously, if I can wipe the gook from my eyes tomorrow morning to the sight of three or four solid e-mails/phone calls/Odeo messages… well damn, I think it’ll really kick start this endeavor, OK?

So yeah, please send The Basketball Jones podcast your thoughts, questions, concerns, and/or suggestions. Feel free to be as serious, or as stupid as you want. Everything is open game. Don’t be shy.

OK, I’m tired of explaining things. Let’s just do this shit and see what happens, eh? Enjoy the tip.

* I can’t believe “thingamajig” is an actual word. Why didn’t I know about this? I am absolutely flabbygastedballooeyd by this revelation…
