You have to check out Drop Madness The Road to the Final Drop brought to you by Commuteride. This bracket inspired contest is the brainchild of a longtime Idaho Sports Talk listener, the former @FakeJohnPatrick, who wishes to remain anonymous. Jp worked with him in creating the contest and the seeds were provided by our committee of one.
First , what is a drop? Well, usually it is when something is said that aired on the show that is embarrassing to somebody. We don’t use drops not coming from local newsmakers. And, the bigger the stage, the better the drop to me. I am always pushing for Jp to edit down stuff and add them to the list. He usually pushes back and doesn’t add them. He loves routine, classic hits and rinse and repeat usage, so it doesn’t surprise me. It is very difficult to hit just the right drop at just the right time for maximum impact. And, when they don’t work , it really sounds like you are forcing the issue. So, at the end of the day, the only reason the 64 made it into Drop Madness was because Jp thought they were funny and has been hitting the same buttons for years. I laugh along most times and it’s a very important part of the show. We have drops that go back 20 years. Idaho Sports Talk began in 1985 and has used drops almost since we began.
Below, you will find the Lock Stock and Barrel Bracket formerly known as the Jeff Caves Bracket. To the left is the seed they are in the tourney and to the right is what I think. To me, the easiest drops come during the show. Comedy is a regular part of the show. But, when I work on the Boise State football broadcast that is a different story. So, when I got out of line there, that is funny. Mixing the order of sayings, mispronunciations and just using the wrong words, eh, take it or leave it.
13. You're a Bowl Pig (1)Calling an Orange Bowl Committee guy a name? On a throw away half time show? When he is here to maybe pick Boise State? Easily, the best example of tasteless radio.
1. Where is Bush Hamdan (2)Coach Pete classic. The question actually came from a fan in the audience at the coaches show.
3. Fiesta bowl scream (2 point conversion)(3) No cheering in the press box?
6. Hang loose brah(4) Nice work with a new Boise St signee Kamalei Correa. Maybe the new sign off of the show. Better than “ Quit takin’ it easy, take a chance (which has motivated people to change jobs and get married)”?
2. I need my beads. Where's my arabacus.(5) At least it was during a game.
4. Kevin Jurovich ties his socks(6) Never found this funny.
5. We seek things to give you some thoughts… (7)Post Game show audio, filling with no callers.
7. Coach Mike Massmussen (8)The coach was on the phone and I blew his name.
14. Redskins-Yankees game 7 of the World Series (9)Funnier, cause everybody knows it is wrong, than the rest below
8. Ted Shashinski (10)Nobody knows him.
11. Chuck Bedardnick (11)At least he came to Boise.
10. Fire on the log(12) I like “Glass by the wine” too.
12. Like a deer with headlights on(13) I have a picture on the studio wall somebody sent me.
16. Steroid Andro-Stuh-knee-dion (14)Real old but works with steroid stories.
9. Tiger Woods sex addition(15) From the old beat down.
15. Unanimous, by a 3 to one margin 1(16) I don’t even think it’s funny. But, of course, I think losing 90-30 is pretty unanimous.
