Podcasting drunk? Sounds my speed. Fun article, and not a half bad idea to implement in full scale! It gets the people going!

A couple weeks ago, theme week sparked a variety of rivalries that have been lurking in the shadows for quite some time.  And no, I’m not talking about the never ending rivalry between Jake Thunder and Brian Payne, but I’m bringing up a renewed rivalry between two of the top podcasters in the VHL, @Berocka and @JardyB10.  This rivalry coming to the forefront of podcasters has presented an upcoming ballot for the VHL community to decide who is the best podcaster.  The way I see it, this is a problem because it doesn’t give other VHL podcasters the opportunity to put their names in the hat so before you put the vote in place, Berocka, hear me out.
 
I’m proposing a Podcasting Tournament of Champions, sort of.  This tournament would end out lasting a few weeks as each week two podcasters would face off and compete against each other, with the loser being eliminated and the winner facing another challenger.  Now, when its all said and done, its likely that Berocka and Jardyb10 will be facing each other for the championship.  And since this is my article, I have come up with a Podcasting Tournament of Championship Simulation. Here goes:
 
The PTOC is divided into two divisions, the .com division and the media spot division.  The placements were randomly selected; however the seeding was determined by me after the podcasters were placed in their respective divisions.
 
The .com Division consists of the following podcasters:
 
#1 Seed @Berocka
#2 Seed @Spartan
#3 Seed @MubbleFubbles
#4 Seed @Ahma
#5 Seed @Phil
#6 Seed @DarkSpyro
 
 
The Media Spot Division consists of the following podcasters:
 
#1 Seed @JardyB10
#2 Seed @FrostBeard
#3 Seed @ctots
#4 Seed @Hogan
#5 Seed @nurx
#6 Seed @UnknownMinion
 
There may be other podcasters I’ve listened to but they did not make the cut and are not in the first ever PTOC.  The format is as follows:  Seeds #1 and #2 in each division receive a first round bye.  Seed #3 goes against Seed #6, while Seed #4 goes against Seed #5.  The winners advance, the losers go home.  In round two, highest seed versus lowest seed remaining, while the two seeds between top and lower face off.  The winners go on to the division championship to determine who represents their respective divisions.
 
Round 1
 
.com Division
 
#3 seed @MubbleFubbles versus #6 seed @DarkSpyro
 
This battle comes down to a daring comedian against a true podcaster with a professional voice.  Both podcasters present their cases quite well, but there can only be one to move on.  In a close battle the winner is: @MubbleFubbles.
 
#4 seed @Ahmaversus #5 seed @Phil
 
@Phil comes out strong with determination to win and endures a long discussion; however @Ahma stays focused and brings his A game only to find that he is much stronger with his sidekick @FrostBeard.  The winner is @Phil
 
 
Media Spot Division
 
#3 seed @ctots versus #6 seed @UnknownMinion
 
It appears to be an easy win as @UnknownMinion starts out with confidence to better his opponent, while @ctots appears to be getting intoxicated while recording.  Loud sounds of crusty snow impairs @UnknownMinion while @ctots speaks to the fans about his personal life.  The winner is: @ctots
 
#4 seed @Hogan versus #5 seed @nurx
 
Both podcasters come out equal and it goes without saying that either podcaster deserves to advance to the next round.  They each bring their strengths with their speaking abilities.  Once again, there can only be one winner.  The winner is: @Hogan
 
 
Second Round
 
.com Division
 
#1 seed @Berocka versus #5 seed @Phil
 
@Berocka immediately shows why he’s the #1 seed in his division and dominates @Phil in all categories, leaving @Phil in awe of his competitor.  In the end, @Berocka gives @Phil some podcasting secrets, giving @Philan edge if the competition were to be double elimination.  The winner is:  @Berocka
 
#2 seed @Spartan versus #3 seed @MubbleFubbles
 
@Spartan initially shows some rusty moments as he starts the podcast while @MubbleFubbles enjoys having a cheerful accent and gets the fans roaring.  As @Spartan makes his way to work, he comes across some irritating Jersey traffic and wows the fans with some flair and superlatives.  The winner is:  @Spartan
 
 
Media Spot Division
 
#1 seed @JardyB10 versus #4 seed @Hogan
 
As expected @JardyB10 dominates the radio waves with wit, class, and a fluid conversation while @Hogan appears to stumble now and then even though he demonstrated why he deserved to face off against the top seed.  The winner is:  @JardyB10
 
#2 seed @FrostBeard versus #3 seed @ctots
 
@ctots is unable to measure up to @FrostBeard and his VHL knowledge and experience.  There was a moment that @ctots bounced back with some interesting history of his life and he came close to winning by throwing in some disc golf, but @FrostBeard showed endurance by going the distance without slowing.  The winner is @FrostBeard
 
 
Division Championships
 
.com Division
 
#1 seed @Berocka versus #2 seed @Spartan
 
@Spartan is sidetracked with his job while @Berocka is distracted by his fiancé making the contest very close.  When its all said and done, only one does more podcasts and entertains consistently.  The winner is:  @Berocka
 
 
Media Spot Divsion
 
#1 seed @JardyB10 versus #2 seed @FrostBeard
 
This turned out to be the podcasting match of the tournament, going into double overtime.  The podcasters were neck and neck in content, humor, and speech.  With only a few seconds remaining in the second overtime, a technical foul was called on @FrostBeard, as it was learned that he had assistance by his boss and podcasting buddy, @Ahma.  The winner by default is:  @JardyB10
 
 
The Podcasting Tournament of Champions - Final Round
 
.com #1 seed @Berocka versus media spot #1 seed @JardyB10
 
@Berocka starts out quick and with force, presenting several points in his favor, while @JardyB10 plays defense for the first several minutes and out of desperation throws out some strong blockers causing @Berocka to react out of frustration.  Back and forth they go and each podcaster presenting their best.  Both sides have a few loyal fans while most of the crowd remain neutral and enjoy the contest.  @Berockaappeals to the women with his accent, while @JardyB10 seeks support by dog lovers.
 
In true sportsmanship, both podcasters respect each other as they should; however, some good shit gets thrown against the wall to see what sticks.  This contest goes on and on and is not going to end without a vote by the VHL.  So, when the voting comes out, be sure to cast your vote to determine the true winner of the 1st ever Podcasting Tournament of Champions.
 
Now, there is actually one winner in this simulation.  And that would be Thunder, because I just realized that this article is over 1000 words and I can count it for next week when I’m back east.

I didn’t forget about the VHL, just been getting dumped on by life. I love you guys.

Was only 24 hours haha. Appreciate you listening 

Late to listening but this was such a good episode! BOG-rocka unleashes super coach on the VHL!

If they're PUSSY ASS BITCHES owners will buy little booties, yeah. Many of the mutts and medium to long haired breeds here I think are well enough adapted or distracted to skip the boots though. Also snow trails are more forgiving than paved trails or sidewalks. Also in my limited experience, I find dog boots have trouble staying on, and dogs aren't always that comfortable with them. Dog jackets are common on short-haired breeds here though.
 
I can PRONOUNCE my player name flawlessly, I'm just bound to trip over it if I try too earnestly, so I embrace the trip!
 
I've already committed to doing the community dishes while I hang out!

Do the dogs wear booties in this weather? Or is there some other Canadian technology we don't have access to in the lower 48? My dogs complain about the cold on their paws starting around 0-10 F.
 
I love how much you already have given up on pronouncing your player's name
 
Once you're sitting at 400 you'll have extra time to take on some responsibility around here. Pick up a broom, do a load of laundry, wipe down the counters, that sort of thing.

You nerds can't be rid of me that easily

I'm just pleased to hear that you're planning on having three players in the league!  
 
I love you too.

thanks for listening, dudes. I said fuck at least once, if anyone is keeping track

I am about to blow your mind but you can start using pension on your second player once you hit 700 with them

Arcanum finally made it to 100 career VHL points, so that's hype.

Once you hit 100 points you're required to max earn. @ctots

well fuck

congrats, but 19+18 doesn't equal 100 (81 does however haha)

Congrats!!!!

I had to go back and listen as to why you both commented this. I think I found my new outro/signout line

HIS NAME IS SCOISH VELOCIRAPTOR MALOISH, OKAY!?
 
Be less tired and do a VHL song, jeez. 
 
Your idea may have been shut down today, but it might be implemented by S100.
 
You're welcome for listening.
 
I did a better version of your podcast where I singled out the best new member in my eyes and only talked about them. We'll see how that does when I post it.
 
We could do it in any way, the updaters are REAL lax with us 😏

I feel the energy in this podcast so much. I want to just chat for a bit about the league and earn some TPE, but it's difficult to really spin up the gears and generate 15 full minutes of content. I keep thinking "yeah, I'll do a big podcast any day now" and the weeks just keep slipping away.
 
We need to get a podcaster roundtable discussion going, maybe drum up some ideas for evergreen content topics. Or we can come up with ways to couch dick and fart jokes in podcasts without the updaters getting upset enough to deny our claims. Think of all the hijinks we could be getting up to
