Dec. 3 Show Preview

The weather may be cooling down here in Allendale (where we are supposed to get 1-to-3 inches of snow today), but The Sunny and C Show is red hot.

We're coming back from our Thanksgiving hiatus with an all-new show segment and great show news.

College football correspondent Jason Thompson will be joining us during a portion of tonight's show for a look at what is happening down at Notre Dame now that Charlie Weis has been fired.

Tonight's lineup:
  • GVSU football set to play Carson-Newman in NCAA Division 2 semifinals
  • Notre Dame football
  • NFL Picks
  • Tiger Woods
  • The Final Word (Allen Iverson, Jerry Jones, and more)
  • Al Davis and the Oakland Raiders
  • Project Updates
It's going to be a fun show. Be sure to listen in at The Whale or watch/listen here on the blog. The show will start at about 10:05 p.m.

Nov. 19 Show Preview

First, I want to give a shout out to our contest winners from last weekend. For those who missed it, we posted a question to our Facebook fan page asking how many rushing yards Adrian Peterson would have against the Detroit Lions.

Peterson went for 133 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries. Surprisingly, we had two people who were nearly perfect in their predictions.

The winner is Zach Kleinheksel. His guess of 132 yards was one shy of the correct answer.

I have to give credit to Jason Thompson as well. Though he was two yards away with his guess of 135 yards, he correctly predicted Peterson would score two touchdowns.

Nicely done!

On to tonight's show, which will be our last for two weeks because of the Thanksgiving holiday. We're hoping for another good turnout to send us into break on a high note.

Tonight's show topics include:

  • GVSU football faces Hillsdale in second-round of playoffs
  • Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams gives Buffalo Bills fans the bird
  • NFL picks and game breakdowns
  • The Final Word
  • All things LeBron James
  • NFL coaching situations
  • Michigan vs. Ohio State
  • College basketball underway
  • NBA surprises

As you can see, we have a full slate on our hands. Matt and I hope you can listen in! Tell your friends too!

Nov. 12 Show Preview

It's Thursday again, so Matt and I are excited to get another show going tonight.

As always, catch us live on here at 10 p.m. or shortly after. We SHOULD have all of the technical issues figured out.

Although it's hard to believe, we only have a few shows left this semester! Help make them great by listening, talking in the chat room and sending us feedback.

We have a few big show related announcements that we will be making live on air tonight during our last segment.

Tonight's lineup:
  • GVSU Football
  • Women's College Soccer on the Map
  • NFL Picks and Game Breakdowns
  • The Final Word
  • Matthew Stafford vs. Joey Harrington
  • Wide Receiver Antics
  • 2010 NBA Free Agency
  • Big Announcement(s) Regarding the Show
We hope you get the chance to stop in and listen. Let's top 120 visits tonight!

Nov. 5 Show Recap

Thanks to everyone who stuck with us through the audio lag last night. Assuming the little counter on the stream is correct, we hit about 114 people stopping in and out. Not bad.

We appreciate all those listeners who have stuck with us! We fixed the audio issues about two minutes after the show was over yesterday, go figure. Next week we're hoping to go live without a hitch.

Because of the terrible lag, I do not think we are going to put up a show highlight this week. Instead, Matt and I filmed a promotional video last night to replace the highlights. Naturally, the sound is perfect! We're shooting for such quality next week.

For now, please tell you friends! Feel free to point anyone to the blog to see what we're capable of doing.

Nov. 5 Show Preview

Matt and I are looking forward to another great week on The Sunny and C Show.

Tune in here at 10 p.m. to watch/listen. If we're aren't here right away, check back in a few. We have a show in front of us now and we had some technical difficulties last week so we were a little late.

On this week's show:
  • GVSU football gets set to go up against perhaps the nation's best D-2 player
  • NFL Picks and a special segment detailing Matt's experiences at last week's Packers/Vikings game
  • The Final Word returns with basketball shoes again as the hot topic
  • Yankees clinch the World Series
  • Syracuse upset by independent D-2 school
  • Little bit of high school football lovin'

Looking forward to everyone watching tonight. Let's hit 80 this time! We were so close last week.

Once again, THANK YOU

Matt and I can't say thanks enough to everyone who listened tonight. We hit 79 unique viewers, one shy of my quite lofty goal of 80.

Let's hit 200 next week! Haha.

Show highlights will be posted by the end of the weekend hopefully.

Oct. 29 Show Preview

Are you ready for some radio?!

Just imagine Hank Williams Jr. doing his best Monday Night Football introduction.

Anyway, The Sunny and C Show will be live again tonight at 10 p.m. We will again create a post with the video feed embedded so you can watch us as Matt and I mill around like hamsters in the studio.

We've also been officially "approved" to be on the air by the WCKS staff. So no more breaking rules for us.

Tonight's show topics:
  • GVSU Football
  • NBA season underway
  • NFL Picks
  • The Final Word (my personal favorite, we have some good topics for tonight)
  • World Series
  • High School Football Playoffs
Let's hit 60 listeners tonight. The audio will be fixed, I promise.

October 22 Recap

Thanks to all the people who stuck with our show throughout all the technical difficulties we had Thursday.

Without going into too much detail, it was an issue of my (Cody) stupidity. Lots of things that I thought worked didn't, and after an hour of reflection I understand why.

We're still getting our "show legs," but we'll be back better than ever next week without technical problems (I hope!).

The microphones didn't play well with my netbook, so the audio of the show was poor. I apologize for that.

October 22 Show Preview

Hello everyone!

We want to thank you all for you constructive criticism of last week's show. Matt and I have planned a few changes to make the show better this time around.

The show will be broadcast live tonight (starting at 10 p.m. EST) on our USTREAM.tv stream and, hopefully, on the WCKS stream as well. The only difference is that the USTREAM page will have a video feed attached to it.

There will be a post on the blog with the feed embedded so you can watch the show right here.

I will have my computer in front of me this week, so feel free to contact us at anytime. While we're live, you can reach us at studio@thesunnyandcshow.com. Also, you can call the station line at 616-331-2875 (I will mention this several times).

We will be introducing a segment tonight that I have dubbed "The Final Word." Basically, we're going to introduce a topic, talk about it, and then answer a final "big question."

Topics covered on tonights show:
  • GVSU Football
  • NFL Picks
  • ALCS/NLCS
  • Instant Reply in Baseball
  • Mark Cuban on Steroids
  • The Final Word
Expect each segment to run about 10 minutes with a song in between. So, if you can only catch the NFL picks, tune in at around 10:15 or so. These are only guidelines, so I could be completely wrong.

We're looking forward to another good show tonight. See you then!

A Big THANK YOU!

Thank you to everyone who made our show a HUGE success tonight. We had upwards of 20 viewers at peak times, which I think is among the best for a WCKS show.

Both Matt and I had a ton of fun and are looking forward to next week.

I'm currently in the process of editing down the video feed, and I will post a highlight reel by the end of the weekend.

The Sunny and C Show Going Live at 10!

Ok, so the stream is down, but Matt and I will be webcasting our first show from the booth anyways at 10 p.m.

You can watch it on our USTREAM.tv page, or I will be embedding the feed directly into a post on here. Either way, come watch, please!

Watch The Sunny and C Show Webcast

Hello everyone!

Well, the stream (which was supposedly up) is down, again, again. I'm still preparing for tonight's show, and Matt and I will probably make the trek over to the station tonight only to have our hopes dashed, again, again.

That said, if we do get on in the near future, we've decided to webcast our show live on USTREAM.tv, a very cool free online-streaming Web site. We're going to leave the audio on as well, but I'm unsure how the sound quality will be. It's not like the video feed is going to be great anyway.

Still, it's a cool feature, which I'll probably reference one too many times throughout our show.

If you want to watch it, here is a link:

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/sunnyandc

Some of you guys got a sneak preview of Matt and I playing Tiger Woods 2010 last weekend. Look for more random stuff like that as the year progresses.

Here's hoping the station is fixed by tonight!

Our Apologies

Naturally, we couldn't get off the ground without some problems.

Apparently sometime between mid-afternoon and 8:30 p.m. Thursday the stream for The Whale went down. The technical advisers say a cable went bad, and the replacement will not be installed until next week (at the earliest).

I don't really believe in audio cables going bad, but I have to go with what information we were given.

Let me say how disappointed Matt and I are. We both spent several hours preparing for Thursday's show, and now all of our work is wasted.

Hopefully the faulty cable can be replaced by next Thursday. Then our show might actually get administrative approval (we were going to do the show without approval tonight) and you'll finally get to hear the first-ever edition of The Sunny and C Show.

Take care and enjoy your weekends everyone!

Going live Thursday!

Hey everyone!

So I just finished shadowing a DJ this afternoon and our show should be going live tomorrow night barring any problems.

Although I haven't sat down with Matt to discuss tomorrow's show yet, I'm sure we will be talking some Tigers and doing our weekly NFL picks.

Please feel free to call in during the show at 616-331-2875. I only ask that you keep it clean -- no language whatsoever is allowed per FCC regulations.

As for listening, head over to TheWhale.org to listen to the live stream. I recommend using VLC Player, which is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, to listen to the stream. I have been having no problems listening that way.

They don't have a good method to record the show, but I'm trying to work out a way to do so and post it up here.

Show Update

Hello everyone!

So the last few weeks have been pretty hectic around here. Between classes and work, I haven't had a whole lot of time to write anything to put on here other than NFL Picks. Matt is in much of the same situation.

However, I do have some good news regarding our show. I have been going back and forth through e-mail with the program director at The Whale and as soon as I shadow another DJ, Matt and I should be all set to go live.

Our timeslot is scheduled for Thursday nights at 10-11ish p.m. You can stream the show live on The Whale's Web site, or if you're in Allendale near campus you can listen to it on 1610 AM.

My goal is to post a recording of each show up on here for those that may miss it live.

We'll give you some more updates soon. I'm hoping that we will be on the air by next week, although I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

First Post!

Hi! Welcome to the official blog of The Sunny and C Show, a talk radio show devoted to sports.

The show is hosted by Grand Valley State University students Matt "Sunny" Sundberg and Cody Eding. The pair's engaging and energetic style make for a very interesting hour (or two) of local and national sports talk.

Sunny and C will make their debut in the fall of 2009 on GVSU's student-run radio station WCKS The Whale.
