I was hopeful to get Rock Hard Ten on board to do a weekly handicapping show. I was going to tell his ugly ass to talk into his laptop and e-mail me the saved file. I'd colorfully edit it, post it on YouTube, and a smash hit would certainly be born.
The deal fell apart when RHT became emotionally unstable to the point of lunacy.
Instead, I'm going to do a weekly DrugS Handicapping Half Hour of Power Youtube show.
Aiming for three ten minute segments a week. I'm thinking one segment will be sort of a briefer Trips and Traps rip-off where I analyze a few races from the past week from across the country where I like a probable bet back and bet against.
The second segment will be a betting preview of two or three races the upcoming weekend with thoughts and bets. Maybe a big race or two plus a smaller race of interest.
The final segment will be a general handicapping tip type dealio. I put one together this morning to see how long it would take. Took a half an hour to do a 10:30 piece with a lot of cuts and save it.

Obviously now that I got the hang of it a little -- I can get it done faster, but will need to do it better. The forms came back blurry, the RR thistle downs race wasn't a good feed, and Cigar's win streak was not all at the grade 1 level like I mysteriously said for some reason. Got to pick more subtle and valuable topics as well.
Anyway. I'm pretty sure I can get this where I spend less than 2 hours a week on it... and still have high quality and watchable show that probably only 6 people will watch anyway.
