Shill Podcast – Pssst… Your Hidden Agenda is showing…
Show Notes
0:00 Doug explains the difference between being funny and being Dave
0:24 Dave introduces another live Shill debacle and Shill’s first (and likely last) guest the cackling Tamera Kremer [this would be where Tamera's blog link would be if we ever bothered linking - Google it you lazy ass listener!]
0:57 Doug coins the Shill T-shirt slogan “I am the listener”. Girlish giggling ensues and it isn’t coming from the girl.
2:40 [TEXT REDACTED - Due to wives who only read the show notes]
3:01 Dave surprises everyone with (Gasp!) a topic: “Blogging: Who gives a shit?” Tamera says there is no value left to add. Dave says it has all been written. Doug injects his personal bias into Dave’s words thus breaking into the conversation, calls blogs the class notes of the douchebag.
5:40 Dave doesn’t read blogs anymore, Doug hardly does either. Tamera pitches for Friend Feed, Doug and Dave scoff audibly at Scoble’s prize adopted child. Dave brings up Rubel again (yawn), Tamera brags about her shiny Chrome. Dave says that Twitter is now the fishbowl and off-handedly wishes Dave Fleet’s crotch a speedy recovery.
7:45 Dave says Facebook isn’t dead. Tamera chimes in on the overlooked value of MySpace for minorities. And a new term is coined… “Whitebook”. The graveyard exhumations continue with Doug unearthing Forums.
11:15 Tamera spits out a cheap shot at Shill. Doug and Dave are ill-prepared to raise the monster from the depths – The Tamerant! Direct Mail takes a few punches from the group – fighting spam with spam.
14:00 Dave strokes “true” Vancouverites and bashes the imports to Vancouver. Dave tries to stir shit with people’s bosses, Tamera suggests recruiters might want to think about the actual purpose of Linked In. Dave and Doug wonder where all the douchebags will come from to fill demand. Dave hits upon Doug’s secret fear.
17:55 Tamera breaks in on the social media “experverts” who haven’t learned the lessons from Web 1.0 communities. Dave pleases himself by finding a way to insert the word “wang”.
19:55 Dave has a problem with Customer Service via Twitter being a new media fasttrack for the old boys club. Dave tries to pin a cowboy hat on Doug, but it doesn’t fit. Doug comes to the defence of companies paying attention to Twitter, since the consumer bitching is done in public and therefore a branding issue.
25:10 Tamera compares her dick size to Dave, Dave gets touchy and Doug sticks his Twitter between his legs. The conversation devolves into should famous people get better service. Doug quotes himself and calls bullshit on the democratization of media because he chooses to take the long way around. Dave confirms the A-listers as the new mass media.
29:00 Forecasters call for a hurricane force tamerant, but instead get a minor breeze of sniggers.
And like a drugged up lead singer, Shill spills its stomach onto the stage, gives the finger to the audience and pulls down the mic stand on top of itself as it faceplants with a sickening crunch.
Thanks to Sammy Lovelace for all her hard work on editing and production.
