Off The Clack Podcast

Special welcome to our Turkey-Day guests this week: Yanfali and Gondolindrim!  First off, we hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend and that you were all able to snag some good deals on Black Friday & Cyber Monday! Sorry this one is a bit late to be posted, was busy with said holiday! Lot's of keeb talk and lot's of off-topic talk, as well. As usual! Tons of laughs in this podcast, so be sure you aren't operating any heavy machinery while listening.  Stay tuned, next week we speak with CorruptedCaps!

We're joined this week by Skullydazed, of QMK and Clueboard fame. This episode is a little shorter than normal, however we probably talk about keyboards more than usual, also. Come give it a listen, you know you want to. Also, in the event you were wondering, here is a recipe for a good one-hour bouillabaisse: there isn't one. Doesn't make sense? You should follow the Mechanical Keyboard subreddit more often! Particularly the absolute goldmine of drama and hilariousness this week involving Alice scandals and more. Popcorn all over the place. But, back on topic, here are some links you should check from the guest himself, Skullydazed: Clueboard QMK Skullydazed on GitHub Bouillabaisse Recipe (Courtesy Bobby Flay, Thx Again Bro -- I Owe You One!) PS -- Enjoy the sound effects.

Clown car because there are like, I don't know...like twenty-six people on this podcast all at once. It's definitely a stretch to call this one a keyboard podcast, but I mean, we do talk about keyboards for maybe a few minutes. It's just impossible to stay on topic with Germ as a guest. We were also accompanied by Mrs. Maple-Computing which was a great treat. We're talking about maybe doing an all-wives episode in the future; just gotta get the wives on board! :-) Stay tuned for information on that as it develops! Thanks for the listen and stay tuned as we have the following upcoming podcast guests: 11/20/19 - Skully 11/27/19 - Yanfali & Gondolindrim 12/04/19 - CorruptedCaps

Minterly finally joined us! Yay! Joking aside, this is a fantastic listen. Lot's of off-topic talk that you all have come to grow and love (obviously), but also lot's of keyboard talk.  No, the second part of the podcast does not involve Minterly (aka Nat) pushing a shopping cart around her home, that is actually the noise of her doggo (see: Cover Image). We didn't want to remove it because we do end up talking about it for quite some time. All in all, you're going to really love this episode. Minterly discusses working on KAT and compares with working on SA (with SP). Pros/cons, all that good stuff. We also get a few choice tidbits of things coming up soon from Nat, but also all of our hosts (the OG3). This is definitely worth the download, the team is back and operating at 111%. Minterly lives here

Full Disclosure: Minterly had to cancel because some things came up, so we are hopefully going to reschedule her as soon as this upcoming week. Check our Discord and website for any information as we will post it as soon as we find out! Chris makes his triumphant return in this podcast, as we dissect some of the current happenings in the Mechanical Keyboard scene...including the r/MK subreddit and all it's glorious memes (/s). OG3 in the house, take a listen. Or don't, but that would be unwise.

This week we have a rare 2-person podcast with Josh and Danny. We talk Pokemon, Keyboards, and a lot of other very interesting topics. You'll just have to take our word for it and listen.  Chris will be back for the next episode and we will be featuring special guest Minterly!

CORALLLLL! CORRRRRALLLLLLLLLL! WHERE IS MY SON?!?!?!?!?!??! Oh, wrong show, sorry. We haven't quite jumped the shark as bad as The Walking Dead, hopefully. This show features the OG1 (Danny) and the NG2 (Cody & HoodrowThrillson). We are missing Josh and Chris for this one as both had prior engagements and/or obligations come up. Fear not, Josh will be back next week and Chris the following week after that. This podcast is a genuine keyboard enthusiant podcast. Lots of cool new stuff being discussed, including the featured GMK Coral keyset (what the cover photo wasn't a dead giveaway?). Have a listen and make sure to tune in next week for the OG2 where I (Josh) will definitely be putting the team on my back!

I have never laughed so hard during a podcast. Special guest, live from Brazil, is Gondolindrim. We talk about the drama, you know you want to hear about the drama--don't lie to us! We also get way off track and Gondolindrim almost dies from laughing. ...oh and we had to literally censor Chris this episode. Things were seriously insane!

OG3 are here for topics of various types. I'm getting tired and lazy of writing these. Do people even read them? We talk about keyboards, sometimes we don't. We're awesome though, you should listen. Stay tuned for Gondolindrim as our special guest next week!

Mr. Keebs (aka Felipe) joins us today for a long-awaited union of minds. We are thrilled to have made this happen as Mr. Keebs is a wonderful community member and a real stand-up guy. Also, he made for a fantastic guest! Topics ranging from Brazil to America (the countries, yep), keyboards (believe it or not), and much more on this very special episode of OffTheClack. Please visit our guest at the link below, his content is great: Mr. Keebs

Yup, you read that right. We got a normal consumer as a guest today. Sort of. It's Chris' friend since they were little babies together in the hospital, or something. Credit where credit is due, the man jumps right in and it's a perfect blend of banter and rant...er? We talk keyboards, from a consumer and vendor POV, get everyone's take on some of the more mass produced items out there (like the Razer keyboards, etc), and a whole lot more. Obviously, the derailment is present, but it's a fun time and one of the funner podcasts we've had a chance to record. Very lively! Everyone knows we have the liveliest podcasts. Absolute liveliest.

You know, sometimes things just get carried away. This just happens to be one of those times. Great little listen, but do not expect that much keyboard talk on this one. We were lucky enough to have Brad from ZayaCaps with us for this unintentionally ridiculous episode. He probably won't ever come back. Heh. Enjoy!

We get a lot of suggested questions, so this week we decided to lean into that. As such, we grab Upas (from Cannon Keys) and go through a variety of questions asked from the OffTheClack listeners. Obviously we get a little derailed in true OtC fashion, but for the most part this is a solid "about keebs" episode. We hope you enjoy and if you have questions, pop in our Discord and post in the proper channel. You may get your question answered on-air!

Sometimes, you know, things happen. Chris was out this week doing his PAX West thing and we were able to snag MKUltraCorp as a guest host in his place! Surprising amount of keyboard talk and unfortunately no taco talk, but please don't change that dial just yet. We learn about a lot of the new projects Erik is working on (from MKUltraCorp), when we might see them, prices, MOQs, and all those other juicy scoops (ahoy!) you keeb-fans have been lookin' for. Only on OffTheClack! We also, obviously, go way off topic and sometimes get downright outlandish! PS--Podcast cover unrelated. Glitter pills just freak me out and I want them to freak you out. Enjoy.

Yep, Josh had some weird audio stuff going on this time. Excuse his (my) clipping audio. We sorted most of it out in post, but some remains. My apologies to your ears ahead of time.

This week we have TWO podcasts out, so grab those downloads now if you haven't already listened to OffTheClack taking over The Board Podcast! Our regularly scheduled podcast, with Chris (of course!), takes place with Spaceman (of 2% Macro Pad fame, it looks like a small thing of milk--totally adorable, TBH). He explains some of the design ideas for that, what's coming in the future by way of other FLAVORS, and we even get to hear about his other project--The Pancake! What's the Pancake? Guess you're just going to have to listen to the podcast, huh? Kidding, you can find this information and more by checking out his links below: Spacehub Website Spaceman's Github Repo

Don, the sole host of The Board Podcast was traveling this weekend, so Danny dragged Josh into doing a fill-in, crossover episode this week. We mainly talk about various unpopular opinions from an r/mk thread last week, some group buy stuff, and talking trash on PayPal. We also recorded video of the two of us talking, which we'll try to stream soon, as we had technical troubles trying to stream it live. For those who haven't heard of The Board Podcast, they are currently the longest running mechanical keyboard related podcast. Shoot them some love and subscribe to their show as well! They also have a bunch of cool videos on their YouTube channel. The Board Podcast The Board Podcast YouTube Channel

Lord knows why she would agree to this, but Tessachka is back for Round 2! This is, unfortunately, a Danny-less episode as he was feeling pretty sick for the entire week. We'll cut him some slack this time, but only this time. Right? Topics include keyboards obviously, streaming builds, lots and lots of Twitch talk, and maybe even a little Drama and Greg. Oh My! (See: Wiki Link) Tessa is one of, if not the, favorite guest of OffTheClack--so be sure to download this podcast and then check out her stream. She will not disappoint.

Apologies for the slight delay in posting this podcast!  This episode we have the one and only RGB Master, Drashna, joining us with QMK-brethren...the one...the only...Yanfali! We'll recap the Seattle meetup, talk about the Big Friccin' Launch Pad, other happenings around the keyboard scene and even more. Lots of great banter in this episode, if you like the back and forth. You'll love this download. So why are you still waiting? DOWNLOAD ME. QMK Website QMK Config Online QMK Documentation (Please Read This) Story of "Jawn"

Ah yes! Chris-less has come early this year! We joke, of course, as the podcast is never quite the same without Chris, but alas--we trudged on with some help from Jordi (StrataKB.com) and Germ (gboards.ca). Surprisingly lots of keyboard and keyboard-adjacent topics tonight. Lots of listener questions (from Discord) will be answered, as well. Slightly shorter than some of our more recent podcasts, but a hell of a listen to. Topics covering Guy Fieri being a good brother, things to try in and out of the keyboard world at least once, Germ things (if you know him, you know what we mean already, if not--LISTEN!), and much more with a first ever rapid-fire question segment for the hosts and guests. Oh, and philosophical discussion about art. Lots of that too. For some reason. Heh.
