Shill Podcast – Twitter is My Digital Dick

 

 Shill Episode #8: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

0:28 In a major Shill milestone Doug and Dave get drunk together in meatspace and nearly apologize for another delayed Shill episode.

1:30 Dave introduces the topic of National Digital Media Day, Doug re-christens it International Year of Mitch Joel’s shoes. Doug feels that the idea is past due, as in 13 years out-of-date.

4:15 Doug connects Digital Media Day to communications, while Dave yanks in the reigns, saying it is merely another tool for geeks to get revenge over being ostracized in high-school.

5:00 Doug overshares that twitter causes genital “shrinkage” and <metaphor alert>social media is not a democracy, but is a wolf pack</metaphor alert> Dave paints a mental image of Doug that a real editor would have cut out.

7:55 Doug interjects and points out the Shill platitude of “the link is in the show notes” is even less true than “the cheque is in the mail” (Google it for crying out loud people!). Dave and Doug make an impassioned plea for people to read the show notes instead of listening, while Dave attempts to shoo the listener away like a wasp buzzing around his milkshake.

9:50 Alcoholic reinforcements arrive while Twitter Meglomania is discussed. Dave and Doug digress into a board games strategy discussion. Doug accuses the a-list twitterers of digital dick measuring.

14:30 Dave asks who do you want to be: The Velvet Underground or Duran Duran? Doug patiently attempts to hide his uncoolness and attempts to pull meaning out of the reference by making it relevant to a band he likes. Dave finally makes the connection and claims that size doesn’t matter it is the motion of the ocean or something else that makes him feel comfortable with his inadequacy.

19:00 Doug quotes his bro, Graham and sticks another needle into the a-listers’ eye and their Manson Family craptastics.

20:35 Dave apologies to Jason Calacanis for not playing his submitted comment. And like a pack-rat shut-in trapped under a stack of old newspapers, Shill dies forgotten until the stench alerts the neighbours.
