BSH Radio 44: Talking to a Flyer, a Rock Star, and Geoff

by Ben Rothenberg on Oct 25, 2011 5:52 PM EDT in Philadelphia Flyers Features

In Broad Street Hockey Radio 44, I (Ben) talk to three different people.

First, I talk to Geoff Detweiler, about important topics like logo-shaped pretzels and who will be the next Max Talbot.

Second, I talk to a Flyer about various stuff, including 24/7 and keeping count.

Third, I talk to BSH musician-in-residence MikeFive about his new song for us, which premieres at the end of this episode.

Right-click the following link to save and listen to BSH Radio 44, or play the embedded version after the jump. Or, better yet, subscribe to our feed via iTunes.

Enjoy.

UPDATE: If you want to download MikeFive's song on its own, follow this BandCamp link.

Much enjoyed. I love these.

Here’s the original. You should have discovered BSH before the 2010 Olympics. We had so much fun with this. ;-)

I feel special now haha...

I have eaten a flyer shaped pretzal! And I didn’t know they were only served in certain areas. Thor got me 2 of them along with a game puck and a together we fight t-shirt. I’m actually eating it in my hometown in my sbn profile picture lol.

Also I have to add to the whole who will be the next Max Talbot on the 24/7 hbo special. Is it not obvious that Bryzgalov will probably be the funny guy? I’ve only heard a few of his interviews but he sounds downright hilarious, and he hasn’t even really got comfortable in orange. I just cant believe he wasn’t even mentioned.

by kckrebs on Oct 25, 2011 9:19 PM EDT up reply actions

Seriously, how did we forget this, Ben? That should have been obvious.

I go to box, I feel shame now.

We actually didn’t mention him at all this entire episode.

He’s just the starting goalie, it’s not like he matters.

I was thinking the same thing.

Related note: has anyone ever seen that interview of Bryz when he was still on the Ducks explaining all the cartoon ducks on his mask? It’s amusing. He had Scrooge McDuck on his mask because, quote, “he’s a rich guy. A rich…duck. And I want to be rich too. Haha.”

I will always over-value prospects and over-hype rookies. I can't help it.

I can’t guarantee you exact combinations, but the Flyers’ defensemen for tomorrow’s game figure to be Kimmo Timonen, Matt Carle, Braydon Coburn, Andrej Meszaros, Matt Walker, Andreas Lilja. Walker and Lilja have both been in and out as the 6th defensemen. Now instead of one of them sitting in the press box, both will be on the ice. As far as whose minutes become drastically increased with Pronger out, that would be Meszaros.

Still a tough D, even without Pronger. Then again the way the Habs are playing right now…

Don't take this the wrong way.....

I love the show but I am not sure if it’s Ben or Geoff, but one of you sounds like a Valley Girl, it’s a little annoying.

I think it’s how you end your sentences by extending the last syllable of the last word you say, and you tend to say “like” a lot.

Sorry :(

It actually sounds a lot like another podcast I listen to. Ben, do you like a capella music by chance?

Yup, that’s definitely me. Think I say “like” most everywhere, but the uptalking at the end of sentences is definitely only a phone/radio phenomenon for me, when I can’t see the face of the person I’m talking to and have no idea if they understand what I’m saying.

Upspeak is very prominent in Philadelphia and on the Main Line in particular. I did it myself a lot more when I was in college because of the immersion. Folks who come here who aren’t from these parts find it amusing to say the least and confusing at times.

What kind of plane is it? Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looks like a big ol' Tylenol.

Awesome job on ‘Wolves of the Sea’, Mikefive! I don’t know how you managed to do it without cracking up, those lyrics are ridiculous. And nice work with the effects pedals too :)
