  1. The Visser of Ozcast Episode Nine

    It’s Episode 9 and we’re talking loads of NBA and a dash of Friday Night Lights!

    The NBA All Star Weekend and trade deadline have combined to create a tsunami’s worth of Visser of Ozcast fodder! We kick off the show with a brief recap of the weekend’s All Star festivities. We stop just short of calling the dunk contest "officially back" and join Demar DeRozan in making a plea to eliminate all of the props from future dunk contests. Unless you’re name is Javal McGee and you want to dunk like 19 balls in 13 hoops simultaneously, in which case, by all means because you are an athletic freak. We also touch on the All Star game and Kobe being Kobe and LeBron being Lebron. The real winners, though? The coaches (Pop and Doc), who somehow got away with playing their conference rivals’ stars (Kobe/Pau and Heatles) ridiculous minutes while resting their own (Duncan, the Cetlics). We also join the internets in lavishing praise on The Basketball Jones, who easily won the weekend with all of their video goodies. Seriously, check some out over at www.thescore.com/tbj, but don’t fall in love too much! We’re your one-stop shop for delayed reactions to NBA news!

    Whoa, this recap is already ridiculously detailed and kind of laughing in the face of the definition of "recap." So, I’ll make this quick. We transition from the All Star game to the massive Melo trade that finally went down. Everyone wins, although we’d rank the winners in order as 1) Melo 2) The Nuggets and 3) The Knicks. Like any trade, let’s reevaluate at the end of the season!

    Finally, we both reveal our new obsessions with Friday Night Lights. We know, all the cool TV heads have been hip to the dusty, Austin-based football drama for years now, but please make room for us on the cattle car, will ya?

    That’s it for now, folks. Thanks for listening to us talk:

  2. The Visser of Ozcast Episode Six

    Remember last week (Of course you don’t remember! Don’t lie! How could you remember something you never experienced in the first place? Self depriciation, guys. Much respect) when we said we were done talking about the Melo saga? Well, we lied.

    In Episode 6, the Visser of Ozcast discusses the breaking Melo news straight from the Russian billionaire’s somewhat startling press conference where he announced that the Nets’ trade proposal was being pulled off the table. The Nuggets front office looks like they really botched this one, but the most saddening result from the non-trade is that NBA fans were denied this. Just kidding, those other ladies will be just fine without LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa (that’s me ignoring you telling me how much the Nuggets are going to suck without Melo all while taking a stab at Melo’s wife’s attractiveness).

    Anyways, we did in fact manage to pull away from the demoralizing NBA trade vortex for a few minutes to discuss the Brochella line-up and call out anyone who was actually offended by Ricky Gervais’ Golden Globes broformance. So many thin-skinned, millionaire sympathizers out there! I wish Ricky would roast the Coachella line-up. It deserves it.

    We wrap up with some obligatory NFL playoff talk because it’s January, you see. If we’re going to keep rooting for the Jets, they better continue to keep up their end of the bandwagon-bargain. That’s hint hint for more brash and bluster, please!

    All the aforementioned goodness and so much more (actually, the above pretty much covers it), in this succinct little slice of pop and sport culture audio heaven…

  3. The Visser of Ozcast Episode Five

    On Episode 5, the Visser of Ozcast take a break from shoveling snow to right the ship after last week’s completely non-sports related show. In fact, other than a brief Michael Cera/Scott Pilgrim non sequitur, we stick strictly to the sports. Eventually we’ll find the perfect balance of topics to launch the podcast into another stratosphere of fame and popularity, but for now we are content on being unpredictable and unbalanced!

    We kick off the show with a little bit of discussion on Onion’s new show on Comedy Central, SportsDome. For all of the inane, ridiculous sports things rooted in reality that occur daily, it’s a bummer that the lol-factory over at the Onion is going for a 100% satrical bent. We’ll give it a few more episodes before we really begin to tsk tsk, though.

    From there, we reluctantly attempt to break down the Carmelo Anthony InDecision/Melodrama/Cluster-phooey. With multiple teams and over 15 odd players involved (sorry Chauncey!), and a whole lot of subterfuge and ambiguity, there is a whole lot to sort out.

    We wrap up the show with the requisite (and quick, I promise!) breakdown of this weekend’s NFL playoff slate. Will Marshawn Lynch create another seismic rumble in the Windy City? Will this be the Ravens/Steelers tilt that results in a fatality? Will Tom Brady throw at Antonio Comartie 135 times? Will the Packers be responsible for yet another widespread (dirty) bird death? We tackle (football puns!) all of this and more in, like, seriously less than 10 minutes.

    Now close your eyes and pull your ears close to your computer for total audio seduction:
