We're back. In the grand tradition, Chus joins the initial podcast of what shall forever be known as Season 2.

We discuss the changes being made to the podcast, now going by the name The Dr. Ken Podcast, as we branch out into some new areas of discussion.

But, there is still discussion of the goings-on at http://www.chicagofanatics.com - where Chicago sports, entertainment, politics, and all other topics are covered.

00:00 - Intro

03:14 - What Are We Drinkin'?

07:42 - Changes in the CFRCast

16:40 - ChicagoFanatics.com Roulette

23:01 - The Bread of Subway

27:01 - Politics - yeah, really

48:26 - Outro

Join us next week, 3/1, for some professional wrestling discussion.

Decent enough. I recommend you do a minimal amount of research on the topics ahead of time. I noticed the same thing on the prior iteration where one or both of you are just guessing about the topic at hand. I mean, if Subway is serving plastic bread, it might be worth digging a bit deeper on stuff like that.

I'm excited about this, Noiseman. What are your audience goals for this podcast? If you are trying to extend your reach beyond CFMB, I suggest changing the name to something more accessible than the "Dr. Ken" podcast.

I will listen later tonight from my bathtub and let you know if I have any further comments. I'm sure you're looking forward to that!

When is Chus coming back? Does he know we "cancelled" IMU?

The goal at this point is just to get it started again.

Work up a schedule that makes sense to record/edit/release without stressing me out so I can actually enjoy it.

Try out a few things to see what works and what does not.

I don't have any audience goals. The original podcast had already reached pretty far beyond the CFMB so it would be nice to at least get back to those numbers. But, that's not why I'm doing it. I need a hobby. Something that isn't work. And I enjoy doing this.

Overall, I just want to produce something that people get the sense that the hosts are enjoying. There is a genre out there for just that type of low-key, relaxed conversation. It's not for everyone and I get that. It is a difficult tone to hit. But, we will give it a shot.

The name issue is discussed in the first few episodes and likely beyond.

I'm just kidding, he just stopped posting, so I guess you could say we've got a place at the table now here for Chus.

I would take denis' advice and make the whole podcast about solving the mystery of plastic bread at Subway.

Not so much cancelled, just probably too busy in his quest to convince Phish fans of the superiority of Dance Gavin Dance.

Hanks’ root beer’s limited availability in Illinois might be a bit exaggerated when it comes to the western part of the state.

The new website kinda sorta makes it seem like its called "drunken cast"

betting the same amount on every game is NOT the way you build your bankroll unless you are in the probably top 5% of sports gamblers out there (maybe a little bigger but certainly no worse than top 25%)

You have to rate games within some system you choose and increase or decrease the bets based on confidence: say 1* for action games, 2* for good feeling, 3* for high confidence.

of course you could bet only on those games for which you have high confidence but that isn't the normal person and there won't be enough action per week to get you anywhere

IIRC, CHUSE typically bets very small amounts. Not more than a couple bucks. Its more of a hobby for him than an actual means of improving his bankroll.

He can correct me if I am wrong, but I do remember him explaining it that way a couple of times in the past.

_________________

the amount doesn't really matter as it is truth no matter your bankroll (1% is 1% no matter dollar amount). You have to hit at 55+% just to break even if all bets are equal. If you are doing that, you could probably sell your picks.

Anyway, I'm a firm believer in throwing down big when you see your very high confidence play. I think I hit well over 55% on those type plays across many years. A smart, disciplined person would say to only play those plays then but I'm neither...at least during football season.
