They should bring this channel back on YouTube TV. Or just make a screen screensaver or something.

@alexkirshner.com @splitzoneduo.com @stevengodfrey.bsky.social How it's going in Nebraska? There's a podcast called the 'Groin Kick Chronicles' that created a formula to rank the painfulness of the 70 losses in the last decade & somehow games ranked in the range of like 37 are still horror movies.

So glad @feitcanwrite.bsky.social did this. Not only bc it clears up misnomers re why we did it, but it also tells a great story of the evolution of GCK & @joshtweeterson.bsky.social's passion about/hard work for the project. If you had ?s re GKC, whether you listened or not, they're answered here.

On this week’s Groin Kick Chronicles, @jackmitchelllnk.bsky.social and @joshtweeterson.bsky.social discussed the games ranked 60-51, finishing with Nebraska’s 2023 loss to Colorado. Was that game ranked in its proper spot? Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i... YouTube: youtu.be/vDUa65do3Ts?...

It being a setup and there being value in knowing what was actually said are not anywhere close to mutually exclusive.

Jack Mitchell @jackmitchelllnk.bsky.social · 01/03/2025
Uh, ok. I would strongly disgree if your point is there is no value in being able to articulate and understand what was said leading up to this and what the arguments are.

Jack Mitchell @jackmitchelllnk.bsky.social · 01/03/2025
6) Z rhetorically asks, after citing Putin’s untrustworthiness ‘what kind of diplomacy is that’ 7) Vance takes offense, accuses Z of not being thankful 8) Z essentially says you would want this sort of reassurance too if Russia bordered you 9) Trump said don’t tell us how we feel and we’re off

Jack Mitchell @jackmitchelllnk.bsky.social · 01/03/2025
3) since Putin has been untrustworthy Z is asking for a security guarantee, not just a cease fire (which I get why US would say no to) 4) Trump/Vance say but all those broken agreements under Biden/Obama, we are different 5) Z cites times between 2017-2022 it happened in Trump’s first term…
120
Jack Mitchell @jackmitchelllnk.bsky.social · 01/03/2025
Watched that video a lot yesterday. Here’s what I got as the disagreement outside of the drama. 1) Trump wants Z to trust that he can make a ceasefire happen and work because he has sway with Putin 2) Z says that they’ve been in multiple Cease fires before and Putin has broken them repeatedly…

Finally, sales pitch. The afternoon no longer has a title sponsor, which is disappointing, but it creates a huge opportunity for a local business to jump on this show as it gets going and have me talking about what you do every night. Hit me up ASAP if you're interested, that won't last long.

Jack Mitchell @jackmitchelllnk.bsky.social · 29/01/2025
I hope you'll give it a shot. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or thoughts. And if you're one of the people or groups I mentioned above, let's make sure we're in contact as I'll want to have you on the show at some point.
100
Jack Mitchell @jackmitchelllnk.bsky.social · 29/01/2025
Finally, I want there to be an interactive piece to the show so I'll still do as much communicating in real time w/listeners as I can via our text line, as I do in the Morning. Plus, at the end of the show, I'll use the time to share the reaction that's come in during the course of the show.

Jack Mitchell @jackmitchelllnk.bsky.social · 29/01/2025
Same with as many state, county and city agency heads, Husker sports reps, entertainment venues, schools, UNL, NWU, SCC, hospitals, major companies and nonprofits in and around town as I could and I'll continue to do so.
100
Jack Mitchell @jackmitchelllnk.bsky.social · 29/01/2025
I've contacted every elected executive head or legislators from the federal, state, city and county level (and some beyond) and notified them about my goal for the show and that I'd welcome them to join me.
100
Jack Mitchell @jackmitchelllnk.bsky.social · 29/01/2025
Then, every day around 5:30-5:35 I'll do a 15 minute interview. Elected officials, government agency leaders, newsmakers, interesting people, weathermen and women, experts on subjects we're not experts on, media members, coaches, people from the world of local entertainment and fine art and beyond.
110
Jack Mitchell @jackmitchelllnk.bsky.social · 29/01/2025
'll give you the story, what it means, play the clips you need to hear for context, ask the questions that may be necessary and, as I said, do it with personality and fun when appropriate. And then I'll move on to another one. And another one. And another one.
100
Jack Mitchell @jackmitchelllnk.bsky.social · 29/01/2025
And this isn't a monologue on one subject. Fast moving, story after story, multiple 'genres' of news, local-centric, and you'll be able to jump in at any time and know what's going on.

Jack Mitchell @jackmitchelllnk.bsky.social · 29/01/2025
I plan on showcasing our small but mighty KLIN newsroom and staff throughout the show. From quick hits with Mark, Chase, Tom, Nate, Chris and others to extended sound they've captured, to on-the spot breaking news, to relying on their exclusive stories and insight.
100
Jack Mitchell @jackmitchelllnk.bsky.social · 29/01/2025
To that end, the first half of the show will be an extended news breakdown. I hope to go for almost 30 minutes without stopping. And it won't be just me.

Jack Mitchell @jackmitchelllnk.bsky.social · 29/01/2025
I want something I can listen to for 10 minutes and feel like I've learned a lot about what I missed that day, whether I tune in at 5, 5:12 or 5:23.
100
Jack Mitchell @jackmitchelllnk.bsky.social · 29/01/2025
I also know from my experience as a listener that I often want to find something I can jump into and immediately start hearing discussion that I can understand without tons of context.

Jack Mitchell @jackmitchelllnk.bsky.social · 29/01/2025
FORMAT: This is what I'm really excited about. I've been thinking very technically about this show for a long time. I know a huge number of you will listen while driving home (the show runs 5p-6p).
110
Jack Mitchell @jackmitchelllnk.bsky.social · 29/01/2025
And while that's certainly not always appropriate when it comes to the news of the day, I plan to talk about what's happening with personality, energy and fun (as appropriate, of course). There's plenty of perpetually angry people out there to consume, I can't compete.
110
Jack Mitchell @jackmitchelllnk.bsky.social · 29/01/2025
Lastly, if you know me, you know if there's one thing I hope people say about me after I'm gone, it's that I made them laugh.
120
Jack Mitchell @jackmitchelllnk.bsky.social · 29/01/2025
There's so much important and useful news out there that's been underrepresented in favor of all politics all the time.
