Elite-Cs were restocked live, and Danny showed off how he uses a restock notification app to gauge interest in various items.

We're taking our talents to South Beach...but not really... It's the return of the original trio! That's right, no guests this episode. Just the three OG guys talking shop. Topics range from new keysets, auction drama, pcb updates and much more! If you are looking for a nice episode of OffTheClack to sit back and chill with, this is the one for you! Strap in for ranting and banting. We'll be doing a few episodes with just the three of us going forward, but if anyone has any ideas for guests coming up, or if you want to be on the podcast--just let us know! Enjoy!

06/19/19 - Danny & Josh & Chris & ZayaCaps & Kilgarah & Tacos

NO. AUDIO. ISSUES. That's right folks, we had no issues with this podcast for once and it sounds amazing. We check in with Brad from ZayaCaps and Kilgarah (SpaceCat Discord Moderator and All-Around Good Brother) and talk normal topics. Obviously, we talk artisans as both guests are players in the game, and it wouldn't be OffTheClack without the normal tangents and sidebars, am I right? So expect those in plenty! Very fun podcast to record with a group of great gentlemen. Should be a fantastic listen clocking in at just under 2-hours. Enjoy! Also, here are some links from the show: ZayaCaps Instagram May Pad on KeyHive Famous Joe Rogan Photo w/ "Josh"

06/12/19 - Foam, Mind Control & More! Featuring Erik (of MKUltraCorp)!

Welcome everyone to your favorite time of the week! No, not the weekend! It's OffTheClack Podcast time! That's right and we have a special guest this week named Erik, who literally runs a company called MKUltraCorp (more links to that below, you've been warned) that specializes in something we haven't yet heard about on our show--foam inserts for all your mechanical keyboard needs! If you know us, then you know the topics get a bit off-track in standard fashion, but not nearly as bad as usual for some reason. I guess we just really wanted to talk about keyboards this week! But don't think there is no good back and forth between us all--you'd be wrong! The bants remains!

06/05/19 - Quick Chat with JT (of El Cap'n Caps) + OG Trio Post Halftime Show!

Quick Episode Breakdown: 0:00 - 55:00 --> Quick Chat with JT of El Cap'n Caps! 55:00 - 1:54:00 --> OG Trio Takes Over w/ Reckless Abandon! We did have a few audio issues with this podcast, but fear not--most are fixed and/or removed. Apologies to our live listeners, but hey, you listen live--you get live problems! But seriously, thanks for your continued support and hanging with us while we stream. It's always a fun time. The first part of the podcast we are joined by JT, of El Cap'n Caps, and we obviously talk Artisans. However, per usual, we quickly move on to more non-keyboard related stuff. You can expect to hear about tacos, Dr. Seuss, and a whole lot more. After JT has to head off (he's a busy guy, after all), the OG Trio settles in for some sweet, sweet banter. If this is why you tune in, all three of us are in rare form and we cover topics such as keyboard drama over the last few weeks, Danny's Iris 3 updates and how he setup a cool way to flash them in 5 seconds or so, haircuts, soda, and more. As always, thanks for tuning in. Let us know if you have suggestions for further episodes. Also note, we've changed some requirements for guests re: audio setup/equipment, so that should limit the triage needed to put the podcast together going forward which will ultimately mean faster uploads! Hooray!

05/29/19 - Justin (Of Switch Couture) Chats With Us...Peripherally, Of Course!

This week's special guest is Justin (aka Peripheral, aka Peripheral Installer) of Switch Couture. We were hoping he could enlighten us on some of the finer aspects of keyboarding, but instead it seems we may have corrupted yet another person with the OffTheClack Fever! Kidding, of course--Justin is the best of us! His services are a valuable asset to the community. Right now he's working mostly on cables (which look great, btw), but also helps fix keyboards and other related items. We chat about how it all came to be, his previous work and how it helps him with Switch Couture, why he chose that name, and of course we quickly devolve into talking about tacos, poutine, and melons...sort of! Check this one out as it's probably one of the funnier podcasts we've done (in our opinion). Your mileage may vary, but it's a great listen either way! Switch Couture Discord

05/22/19 - Merry Chris-less Episode! Featuring Jordi from StrataKB!

Chris-less came early this year...sort of! Most of the podcast is Danny, Josh, and Jordi (of StrataKB) chit-chatting about lubricants, insect tacos, laser-cutting, group buys and much more. Chris does join us for a bit and in typical fashion things get feisty!

05/15/19 - Things Get Dirty with GERM (of gboards.ca)!

If you know Germ, you know that this episode is going to be...different...than some of our past episodes, but in a way that will shake you to your very core! Muaha! No but really, we cannot take any responsibility for what came out of this fellow's mouth! It's like opening pandora's box, except this one is Canadian, vulgar, loves steno, keyboards, Monster Energy, and hockey (goal, apparently as it's called in his far away native land). In all seriousness, we do talk about food (mostly of the Canadian variety), PCB design, the Elite-C, Proton-C, niche keyboards for a niche hobby, and a whole lot more. Learn more about gboards.ca and their extremely niche-filling online store. If you are into steno at all, you will not want to miss this episode. After all, GERM is the "brain" behind things such as the Taco Pad, the Butter Stick, and Gergo. Poutine. The Canadians talked about Poutine for a long, long time. Not sure what that is? See the cover for this week's episode! All I know is I am not pou-tine-it in my mouth. Ayyy! gboards.ca Blog @ gboards.ca Guides @ gboards.ca

This week we have the always wonderful, Tessachka on to chat with us about keyboards, streaming, video games, and more! Topics covering Chris' dog, Josh's friend growing up who was lost and naked in Camden (New Jersey), tacos (of the fish variety, mostly), and so much more! This is our longest podcast yet and we are very happy with how it turned out! Definitely expect Tessa back at some point in the near future. We talked about so many things and she's just as great on a podcast as she is live on stream! Please check out some of her stuff and other things mentioned in the podcast below: Tessachka on Streamerpedia Tessachka on Twitch Tessachka on Twitter Tessachka on Instagram PS -- The cover image of this podcast is Chris' cute little doggo. What a good boy!
