STICKAM ROOM OPENS AT 6:30PM

A couple of things to announce. First, every show will now be available on our Stickam page in 2 to 3 parts. Second, we will begain opening the Stickam room 30 minutes before showtime at 6:30pm so everyone has a chance to get in and settled before we make your ears bleed.

This show’s special guest is LIQUIDMJ who will be sharing away stories from San Jose. We’ve heard a lot of different accounts of the drama that went down….and we’re gonna set the record straight. Also, our host, McKenzie, will be in Eastern Washington so we’ll have FuzzyForeigner in the house to keep his chair warm. We’ll also be announcing the following week’s special guest from the Sounders organization.

So, don’t forget to get in the room early…get your webcam running…and prepare to get your feet burned!

Update! Listen to the show here:

The new ECS podcast, “The Sweatshop” is off and running. Last week’s debut show saw 803 live viewers and numerous have peeped out the 3 part recording. Now it’s time get it going and start making things official.

The next episode airs LIVE, as always, this Monday, August 16th at 7pm on the ECS Stickam page, http://www.stickam.com/weareecs. If you haven’t done so, get there early, sign up, plug in your webcam and join us for what proves to be crazy show. You can also go to the “PODCAST” page under “NEWS” by using the top navigation bar where the Stickam feed is embedded. This show’s special guest, and coincidentally the first special guest ever, is none other than BULLDOG. You all know him, some fear him, some don’t know what to make of him. But he doesn’t give a shit and that’s why we love him. This is a definite “don’t miss” show just for the potential stories we might hear from his earlier days as a Leeds supporter on the terraces of Elland Road.

Gil has finally figured out some bloody technology and we have a special (albeit old) episode of the ECS Podcast during the American Outlaws USA v Ghana viewing party at The Nectar Lounge !  In the end, it all resulted in a difficult day after two full hours of football were played.

Many of the announcements and updates in the particular podcast are completely useless…but enjoy the sounds and chatter of an extremely exciting morning for US footy fans in Fremont!  Due to the changeover in servers, altered access and the complete failure in my knowledge of our own inner technological workings here at podcast central…this is only a month late!

To all of those who have patiently waited for us to bring more podcasts to you, a hearty thank you goes out!

Be ready for more of the ECS Podcast next week as we finally get to truly talk

• N’Kufo gets minutes (we hope at least)…does he fit in during his early touches with the club?
• Ljungburg rumors are about!  Is he really leaving?  Where wold he go?  If a DP leaves their MLS side, but no one is around to notice, do they still care?
• Sigi to the kids (players) on the bus:  “Now if you kids don’t behave back there, I’m NOT going to turn this f**kin season around!”  So what DOES Sigi have to do to get this clunker of a season to flip a b**ch…??  We’ll talk about some steps he really should be taking!
• The David Beckham Douchbag of the Week……..GLORIOUSLY LIVES ON!  But who will take this episode’s honor?  Tune in!

Also…more eps of the Newscast underway as we keep you up-to-date on all the match fixtures, results around the league and hilarity ensuing within the ECS!

Here is a special edition of The ECS Podcast from Salt Lake City, Utah when the ECS was there in numbers for the match on the weekend of 4/9/2010!

We speak to the various supporters about the match, the town and even about the importantance of subgroups and following your capo.  There’s much chatter, chugging and chanting on this special edition of the ECS Podcast in Salt Lake City!

• Zakuani, Zakuani, Zakuani!!! (Damn you, Ultra666!!!) It’s not Amadeus, but he likes to carry the wisdom of him.  And, well, he’s really fast too.  In this week’s Sounders Player Focus, it’s Steve Zakuani.  And we dissect him as to what makes him dangerous, what he needs to fix, and why he’s on Twitter so damn much.
• In this week’s ECS Supporter Profile, we pick the brain of one of the New Kids On The Block: And no, it’s not Donnie Wahlberg:  It’s Mr. Jerry Neil (aka Spinfyre1330)!  We’ll ask him the hard questions.  What makes him a true supporter?  What can HE do to truly contribute to the ECS?  Why does he still watch processional wrestling in the dark…???
• She’s short, she’s small, she’ll pick a fight with y’all!  She’s the ECS resident superstylist (does wonders with my locks) and is one-half of the Propaganda Sisters (along with myself, minus being an actual sister)…Nisha Miles (aka The Cutter)!!!
• He’s one part crazy fresh, two parts die-hard supporter, and five parts Jack Daniels.  Mix well and you get our very own EagleBear Morgan (aka djebam)!  Dude’s got some serious skills behind the decks and his own damn podcast. Why does he need to be here?  Well, he’ll tell ya all about it…after he’s done with his Jack n’ Coke.
• And teh “FAILZ” keep racking McKenzie’s brain!!!  Who da f**k dun p**sed him off this week?!?  Plenty of choices, but only one can be the coveted “David Beckham Douchebag of the Week”

You can download the podcast (right-click the link, then select Save As) or search for us on iTunes (“Emerald City Supporters” is the best search).  Here’s a preview of the latest episode:

• We bring you a very special podcast as nearly the entire show is recorded at last week’s American Outlaws US v El Salvador match viewing party at the Atlantic Crossing!
• We’ve got TONS of guests, starting with Colin of the American Outlaws talking about the values of becoming an AO member.  Sadly, I found out a six-pack of Budweiser isn’t included in the membership package.
• Keith & Greg jump on and talk about the importance of subgroups and getting out to our events.  They then proceed to bash the US team while it’s playing in the background.  But all for the right reasons….supposedly.
• We have another Colin (aka paintballinpunk) to talk about ECS FC and their season.  I wonder how much Russ paid him to get a shout-out on the podcast?
• We talk with Nick and Jared about their respective sub-groups (or soon-to-be sub-groups) and what the ECS means to them.  If you listen carefully, I started to sound sea sick as Jared talks about the ferry rides and the Sound.  *ulp*
• We even squeeze Timm Blakely onto the show to ramble about two-poles and the best way to sell EagleBear’s cell phone that he left behind at the pub!
• McKenzie even bails to go do homework!  Ahhhhh, what a responsible young lad.

Stay tuned to our next episode, where we’ll reveal the winner of our last episode’s two-pole contest and get involved in even more hijinks…all on The ECS Podcast!

• We have a very special guest on the show: Our very own Finnfan, chatting with us from over 10 hours away at his home in Finland. And believe it or not, he’s actually awake enough to answer questions.
• Jason Rojo of BHM is back…and he sings a lovely little song over his Red Devils 3:2 win over Milan. And yes…it’s lovely.
• Oh how we love…the wild mustached antics of our favorite “Recipient from Maine”, Roger Levesque! We talk about him, his Sounders career, and find out if everyone he knows truly “hails the ‘stache”.
• And who will win the coveted Beckham Douchebag of the Week Award? McKenzie kicks a real bender himself and surprises us with his pick! But this person, very much, is deserving of the “honor”.

• Paul calls in from work, of all places, to chat with us about him getting on the Alliance Council and how he’s going to help make the world a better place for all of us.
• We relive the glory…and agony…of the 2009 away trips. WTF HAPPENEDDEDEDDED IN SAN JOSE?!?!11!11?!?
• We cannot explain his attractiveness (well, McKenzie I think can), but sexy Mr. Evans will be put under the microscope in our Sounders Player Focus.
• Lastly: Community Shield Match v P*rtl*nd! The Unfriendly begins…

All this…can be yours…if the Price is Right!

*ahem* No, wait…
