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 Doug feels that the idea is past due, as in 13 years out-of-date.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.

Show Notes

0:19 False Start: Dave doesn’t make the appointed time for the podcast and leaves Doug with the audio equivalent of his pants around his ankles.

1:00 Do-over start followed by Doug’s personal cover version of the theme music for the entertainment of himself and surely no one else. Dave starts the show with an uncomfortable silence.

1:55 Drink of the day revealed 12 year old single malts.

2:30 Dave reads out a general comment about the show from Listener Lisa proving the fact that Shill has at least one listener.

3:15 Doug pulls the rug out on the audience theory by pointing out that it was his wife who made the comment. Doug and Dave agree that bias is a dish best served often.

5:00 Dave discusses the Corporate Kryptonite that keeps him from bashing his own clients, but predictably no guarantees are made about the future, unless it causes him to downgrade his net connection to High Speed Light. Doug doesn’t like talking about his clients.

7:15 Jaws drop throughout the podosphere as Dave declares Shill to be light on research and heavy on opinion. Doug and Dave declare the podcast to be under the jurisdiction of bar rules.

10:05 Dave accuses Mitch Joel of being a real person.

11:10 Doug happily begins sawing off the limb he is sitting on.

12:20 Dave ensures listeners that the Shit List door is closed to anyone who knocks. Doug question’s Dave’s gender and narrowly avoids getting on the Shit List himself.

13:25 Dave acts like the hen-pecked husband of Shill (what does that make Doug?) because he is hounded to make the podcast. Doug is unapologetic for dumping Dave to go out to dinner with Mitch Joel.

14:30 Doug takes a beating for screwing up Mitch’s promo and loses 30 geek points for not being able to operate an audio recorder under the influence.

15:04 Out of sheer pique, Dave decides to drive another episode of Shill over the cliff.
