Episode 2 is in the books. We tried to script things a little more this week........and ended up going longer (a full 2 hours) than we did last week. Who knew that these microphone headsets would feel so good. But, there's some really good stuff in there. Ted joined us for the first 40 minutes or so, which was a great addition. We've decided that next week we are going to record separate 30 minute segments to post on different days. One will be an NFL picks segment, one will be a Celtics segment, and one will be an overall NBA segment. We like to go off on tangents, and that can be entertaining during a 30 minute show. Not so much when the show is 2 hours. We think shorter, more focused segments will be an improvement for our listeners. For the time being, it is long. I think it would lend itself well to a long car ride. So, if you're going to be driving anywhere this weekend you may want to open it in a new window (click on the blue icon on the right side of the player), download the file, burn it to a CD, and enjoy the sweet sounds of the roomofzen on the road.
Here it is, Episode 2, in all its 120 minutes of glory. There are less mistakes this week than last week. Ted once refers to the Indiana Pacers as the Indianapolis Pacers (which is indeed the city in which they play). Also, Babcock and I discuss the implications of AI in Detroit and somehow get lost on a tangent (big surprise) before we can even discuss the cap space he will free up this summer (which is really the whole reason they made the move anyways). But, other than that, it's pretty solid:

In case you don't have time for the whole thing, here is a guide to how episode 2 breaks down (if you open it in a new window, you can skip around pretty easily):
first fifteen minutes: Reader e-mail (be warned, we talk about the NHL)
Rest of the first hour: NBA talk (Babcock and I use our powers of persuasion to convince Ted that Ron Artest was a huge addition to the Rockets and that the Celtics win on Tuesday night was a big one)
Second hour: NFL picks, Analysis of Van Gundy/Jackson duo, and why we're glad Comcast Sports Net fired Cousey.
Also, we weren't able to get our musical intro. Babcock did attend the first ever Boner Salad recording session on Tuesday evening, which will forever be known as "The Lost Session" since there is no recording of which to speak. You can expect a post from him on that experience soon. We expect that music to be ready in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, please accept this Blind Melon video:
Again, please stay tuned for next week when we present you with smaller and more digestable segments.
In case you missed it, here is Episode #1 from last week.
