Hi guys! Welcome to the very first edition of
This is going to be a place for me to let out my inner gamer geek!
I’m going to start this series by interviewing my fellow Skitzo Radio guys!
You may notice that this is set up extremely similar to Sit Around Saturdays….don’t worry…it’s only starting out as a interview! Once we know all of the guys (and me) we will get into some game reviews and all that fun stuff!
Oh joy! The first person on the list is…you guessed it!! HUBBY!!
Describe your channel in 15 words or less!
Vlogging, Games, Weird and random.
Dang! Did it in 5! I think that is some kind of record!!
When did you start your channel? How did you come up with the name?
A few of us play games together regularly. We have so much fun and laughed so much we figured we should form a group just for this to show everyone else how much fun gaming and other random things can be in our lives.
The name Skitzo Radio was inspired by a local radio station. It isn’t named Skitzo Radio, but they play the most random music. They literally will play a dubstep song followed by a country song followed by a rap song followed by a classic rock song and so on and so forth with songs from all genres.
I joked with my wife that their tag line should be “93.7….Skitzo Radio!” Then our Skitzo Radio was born.
Hehe…this is a station that I listen to all the time! Sadly…I listen because I think it’s hilarious that you never know what you’re going to get! I remember us joking about starting a YouTube channel that day…we wanted it to be Skitzo Radio simply because we didn’t want to be tied down to just one thing by a name.
What is something about yourself that most of your subscribers don’t know?
That Skitzo Radio is actually formed up of 6 gamers who all participate in helping get VODs together for Youtube.
How do you spend your time when you aren’t vlogging?
Playing games just for fun and coming up with new ideas for more series and randomness. We do everything for our channel. We will post gaming VODs, cooking VODs and even science VODs!
What do you find most challenging about vlogging?
Trying to get all the players together at the same time and the learning curve associated with doing our jobs. It takes a lot of learning and schedule flexing to get 2 or even all 6 of us together.
What he didn’t mention is that we have people all over the world! It isn’t like it is 6 of us that live near one another. We have people all over the US and even one weird Finnish guy that we love!
What do you find most rewarding about vlogging?
We don’t care about views or followers or even making money. We just care about having fun and laughing until we fall out of our chairs. We just figured others might like it too.
Not sure how funny it could be? Wait til the ones of Hubby and I playing together come up! (Hopefully this week!) We were laughing so hard trying to do these…sadly…how we act in them is really how we act in reality. We don’t fake it for the show lol
What post are you most proud of so far?
So far we don’t have many up, but more are coming as we edit them together. Check us out at www.youtube.com/skitzoradio to see what new stuff we’ve posted. We have lots of new VODs coming very soon.
Silly man won’t admit what he likes best…so I will! Honestly, I think he is most proud of his GreenLight Special VODs. I say this because I know that he really likes getting the chance to put the spotlight on a smaller game that needs votes to get produced. Here is one he did just last night that he had a blast with!
GreenLight Special: Tom vs. The Armies of Hell
What gaming shows do you watch the most?
Anything with Cox….Jesse Cox that is.
TotalBiscuit is great because he does good reviews…but I honestly think I’d have to go with Dodger if I’m forced to only pick 2.
Ask me one question…any question at all and I have to answer it no matter what!
So, how is that sexy man of yours in bed?
Really dear!! Seriously! This is the question you go with!! OH MY GOSH!! You sure know how to make me blush on my own blog!!! Umm…how are you in bed??? Well…we’ve been together for 10 years now and still make me happy…does that answer your question at all??
If you want more specifics you’ll have to ask me in person! lol This is technically a family blog!
If you could have any one toy what would it be? Why?
I’d like to have my original NES back in working shape. It was the best system I think I’ve ever owned and it really introduced me to gaming. I had an Atari but only one game so not much fun there.
MY NES WAS BETTER THAN YOURS!! SO =P
If you could have one super power what would it be? Why?
Preminition. I’d love to know how all my weird ideas I have in my head would turn out if I actually did them.
OOO here is a spot for me to prove my dorkdom!! You mean you want to have Premonitions like Pheobe in Charmed?!?! I so miss that show =(
What would I find in your refrigerator right now?
A big bottle of wine. A bottle of Finlandia Vodka. Orange Juice, Apple Juice. Random condiments and bottles of water. We don’t really do sodas here anymore.
Gosh dear!! You leave out all of the food and kid friendly things!! I swear guys…we really do have food and kid friendly drinks! lol
If your channel were a food…what would it be and why?
Trashy Fries (French fries covered with cheese, chili, jalapeños and bacon bits)
It’s ugly as hell on the outside and looks like it was thrown together, but once you dig in, you realize, it’s not half bad!
What do you think about when you are alone in your car?
Usually it’s something to do with my day job and why the last client was so odd or why I have to see the next.
Darn! You mean you don’t think about how amazingly awesome your wife is???
Name 3 things within a 2 foot radius of yourself right now.
Shiny new Sony Handicam, wallet, Hawaiian punch cup with vodka
Hehehe…my awesome hubby bought me us a new video camera!! YAY!!
What song best describes you? Why?
Radio Active by Imagine Dragons. It’s a great song about being a bit out of the norm. I’ve always been that way and it’s great.
Maybe that’s why we fit together so well! I am far far from normal!
If you were a star wars/star trek (you pick) character who would you be and why?
Certainly not a red shirt. If you don’t know why that’s funny……please just move along.
Jonathan Archer from the last Star Trek series ‘Enterprise’. He was a bit more normal than the other captains not requiring that everything be done by him because he’s the captain, but be done by him because of his curiosity. Going to places no human had ever! The series was regarded as terrible by Trek fans, but as a fan of all series except Deep Space Nine, I LOVED IT!
If you were a cartoon character who would you be and why?
Tasmanian Devil. I rush into a lot of things which usually end up destroyed in the end.
If you had to eat only one type of vegetable forever, what would it be?
Corn. It’s easily changed into many different forms of food. Cornbread, creamed corn, whole corn, corn on the cob, grits, popcorn, cornmeal for baking, or even a sweetener for my tea!
If you were in jail and on death row…what would you last meal be?
A1 Chicago style marinated steak(36hrs please), baked potato all the way, whole kernel corn, homemade biscuits, and a good spinach salad with a little light ranch, chopped ham, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pepper, bacon, olive oil, cheddar cheese, and apple cider vinager.
DANG DEAR! You are going all out huh? I don’t know that they let you pick quite that much stuff!
