Show Notes:

00:31 A lot has happened since the week between shows and Doug and Dave launch right into the topic: themselves. Doug’s been in South Africa to see if this anti-apartheid movement is catching on. Apparently, it’s a hit. And all because Dave and Doug bought a record in the 80s.

1:52 Dave outs Doug’s move to Social Media Group to become a competitor and another full-time new media douchebag on the scene. Dave’s jealousy bubbles to the surface and he counterpunches by name-dropping Collin Douma ex of Social Media Group. Doug parries with the fact that he has inherited Douma’s old Blackberry.

2:45 Dave notes the disturbing clubiness of the echo chamber and feels there is a musical in it somewhere. Doug believes bong water has been ingested.

3:13 Other names are dropped for a variety of hard-to-understand reasons: Scott Monty’s move to Ford to become Doug’s client; Bryan Person to Texas to run for Governor and then the Republican nomination; Doug Haslam to Shift; Dave going to hell; Doug claims to be making some other moves that will see Shill become the #1 podcast in the scat category on iTunes.

4:04 Doug riffs on the state of music, 70s swinging culture and his love of mustaches and tight pants. Freddie Mercury would have been proud.

6:30 The discussion meanders to the popularity of ringtones. Doug butts in to let everyone out there know that you are dead to him if you have a real music ringtone. Dave sticks it to straight-edge white guys with gangsta rap ringtones and uber-geeks with the Darth Vader music.

8:32 Dave defers to Doug’s knowledge of how video games incorporate music due to the fact that Dave believe he is an adult. Doug puts up zero resistance to this quip for obvious reasons.

10:20 Doug thinks of music as an impulse buy like penny candy. Doug is partial to the pixie sticks (see Freddie Mercury reference.) Dave apparently has an oral fixation.

10:50 Dave pretends to be an audiophile and economist (two words he clearly had to look up for these show notes) and stumbles through the historical thread of the history of recorded and packaged music, filthy rich artists and invites Doug to reminisce about how great things used to be when they browsed through record stores, looking at Klaatu album covers.

13:26 Having not fully bludgeoned the music topic to death, Doug brings up PVRs and in a strange Shill moment, starts talking up one of Dave’s clients: Overlay.TV. Dave seizes the opportunity to shamelessly promote them as well. (Hey Rob and Ben! Overlay.TV rocks.)

16:30 Still going with music. Seriously. Dave eventually gets round to insulting people in the TV advertising business. And how Doug and Dave laugh! You can hear their sides splitting.

17:06 Gleefully, the topic comes to a conclusion as Doug considers hiring bards and troubadours in the future. This leads to discussions about strange English things to do with a certain lead singer of The Police.

20:00 Nothing gets a too-long episode back on track than when Doug and Dave turn on each other.

21:10 Discussions about James Spader, Bill Shatner, Christian Slater and Colin McKay clearly affect Dave in a homo-erotic way and he makes a pass at Doug.

23:51 Dave tries to introduce the topic of virtual worlds and not the launch of the iPhone 3G, but like Doug’s first girlfriend, he will have none of it. Dave insults the first guy in line in Toronto, Apple, Rogers, and City-TV’s breakfast television program.

26:15 Doug’s Apple fan-boy side comes out and he proclaims his love for the iPhone and claims Blackberrys are for stockbrokers and PR people. Dave smugly believes that he menas people with the power and authority to make shit happen. iPhones are for people who think they are important…like Doug.

30:18 After a trip down the convergence rabbit hole, Doug notes that multiple gadgets require Chewbacca’s bandolier…yup, the kind all the stockbrokers get at Louis Vuitton. Dave immediately lays down a triple world score and bingo on the word “geekass”.

30:51 Like that tingly sensation you get before a cold sore, the virtual worlds topic finally surfaces. Any salient points are lost in discussions about Demi Moore, Michael Douglas, World of Warcraft and crack.

36:40 Dave admits to having tuned Doug out. Bur for show notes purposes, it was something like: blah blah blah…dungeons and dragons…blah blah blah.

37:47 Doug is an idiot for losing the audio comment received from cowboy-hatted legend David Armano. And like a fudgesicle within striking distance of a fat kid, Shill is inhaled, leaving only a few brownish remnants and a wicked brain freeze.
