A few months ago, Andy Dolan of Desipio fame approached me with an idea he had for a Cubs podcast. A podcast that had no standards, no significant topics, and no sense of timing and rapport. Well, that podcast finally became reality last night, as Andy and I completed the inaugural Desipio/Hire Jim Essian podcast entitled (at least for now) “The Other Fifteen Percent.” In case you’re wondering, that means I’m most likely not writing something today (sorry for you guys at work with no sound). For those of you with sound or who don’t really care about your jobs, enjoy. Our intention is most likely to make these weekly podcasts, and to bring in other bloggers and, hopefully and eventually, guys like Bruce Miles or my good friend PAUL SULLIVAN. There may even be a chance for you guys to join a chat room and participate in a live podcast. If you ever wanted to ask Dolan or me a question, it would be a good time to do so. The answer is boxer-briefs.

Welp. I can no longer hold out. Time to by an iPod.
This is the monoloth in “2001″.
Good start, considering it’s the first show and neither of you idiots works in radio.
I downloaded it and played it for the wife this morning in the car. She was not impressed.
May the internet radio waves be at your back while the internet dorks come at your face.

Motherfuckers. Stop BREATHING on the mic.
Thanks.
Huh? I didn’t notice much of that.
At the beginning there was. But it went away. And there was much rejoicing.
Nice work.
Jeanine Duncan and fugly family, from 1980s I assume. Didn’t look at date at all even if it is there: http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2008/03/14/sports/14yankees_CAX.ready.html
This is the Duncan family from the 80s probably: http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2008/03/14/sports/14yankees_CAX.ready.html
My mistake on the double post
It was pretty good, but I’d recommend less HJE and more HJE for the next pudcast.
Wow, were do I get the last 1:30 of my life back? Actually pretty good, props. And keep us up on that NIU news, I love hearing about my old alma matter.
I asked Andy the same question at the end.
so where does the name come from? does it refer to the 15 percent of fans you dont want to strangle mercilessly for being insufferable douchebags?
From the Lee Elia rant.
Sorry Ryan
but you should lose posting rights for a week for not knowing that reference
man oh man, am i a fucking moron. well there goes my fucking street cred. if its any defense (which it aint) im 3 years younger than that rant.
I think your name has been taken:

Yeah, didn’t Mike D post a link to that the other day? Now it’s not like two people couldn’t come up with that on their own, but it seemed an obvious oversight. As a result, I nominate “Ronnie Woo Woo’s Woo Cubs Woo Podcast of Woos.”
We considered that and decided we didn’t really care. There are approximately 30,000 Cubs blogs out there, so we’re bound to use a similar name as one of them.
Then you should have used Bleed Cubbie Blue Ears.
Did you use skype to do this?
TalkShoe. I dialed in using X-Lite, since I was having mic troubles when trying to use the TalkShoe software. Andy was luckier.
This was an entertaining podcast, by the way.
I never understood the fascination with Podcasts. It’s like being that creepy dude at the bar eavesdropping on some other creepy pair of dudes talking out their asses. I prefer to be a completely different kind of creepy dude. The kind of creepy dude that still glues mirrors on his shoes and cuts a hole in his pocket for easy access. More power to the both of you though. If you can glue some mirrors on the shoes of the podcast, I’ll gladly subscribe to your newsletter.
