Show Notes
0:00 Doug and Dave attempt to calibrate Skype lag and introduce Sammy Lovelace Shill’s new producer
0:50 Dave and Doug bicker like a couple considering an open marriage, Doug opens the Spinal Tap doors which leads to an obscure reference contest.
2:12 Doug promises to bring his AAA game (minor league and beefy). Dave introduces Shill’s new sponsor The Flavor Wave and then proceed to gush all over Mr. T.
3:20 Doug and Dave beat the Twitter horse senseless. Doug laments the human race and gives up on Twitter when Ashton beats out CNN for biggest posse. Doug lamely tries to justify his elitist distaste for Twitter going mainstream.
4:58 Dave admits to following celebs, but draws the line at counting the days he was on Twitter before Oprah. Dave likens Twitter to be of equivalent value to watching re-runs. Doug hopes lunch time tweets are finally off the menu.
9:24 Doug hates re-tweets and nearly exposes his fears of the schoolyard bully and his sidekick. Dave disagrees in a characteristically wishy-washy way.
11:48 Dave says that he can dive in and out of the twitter stream, enjoy being snide while he’s there and jump out when his privates are sufficiently shrunken. Dave name outs Toronto’s top 10 Twitterers as a bunch of PR Flacks.
14:00 Doug reveals anti-social tendencies by wondering of the value of cocktail parties, Dave reveals the obvious and suggests that Twitter is no place to get laid. Dave suggests, Warcraft isn’t either, ouch, that smarts! Dave suggest followers are just another form of experience points.
16:57 Armed no more info than a screenshot, Dave and Doug try to bluff their way into an opinion on Google Wave. Doug dons the tin-foil hat and gets spooked by Google having everything. Dave goes post-apocalyptic.
22:20 You heard it hear first: Dave has no time for Bing and Doug isn’t smart enough to work Wolfram Alpha.
24:45 Doug and Dave have a Stoner’s moment. Corporate social media response time and Dominoes pizza debacle briefly mentioned.
28:20 Doug gets up a head of steam on how customer service is most important for crappy products. Dave promotes listening and drops the call, Sammy drops in the sad trombone.
31:00 A word from our sponsor: Mr. T. vs The Flavour Wave.
33:35 Dave comes alive briefly, Rogers is mentioned and conspiracy theories abound and sinisterly Dave drops off again.
And like a newb at the punk show, Shill is tossed around the mosh pit before falling down in the broken beer bottles and slowly kicked into bloody unconsciousness by Doc Martens.
Thanks to Sammy Lovelace for all her hard work on editing and production.
