Welcome to the DSM Podcast

This episode, we're talking podcasts, how to cast pods, and the casts who produce, narrate, write and edit them.  We're also reviewing podcast equipment, especially the, what's the kind of dick shaped thing that goes right by your mouth?  We're drinking heavily and we're talking into those foamy black dick shaped things about what a podcast even is, who did the first podcasts, all that, all that stuff about the history of the medium I guess is what you'd say.  Also Jayson Tatum signed a big extension with the Celtics, so we'll talk about that, and the Pats (nee Patsies) suck again, so we're getting into all of that, plus some technical details about new updates for MicroSoft Excel and Publisher.  A fucking MICROPHONE.  It's called a MICROPHONE.  God dammit. 

Chris and Wes remembered to record the pod today, and then got Logan to cast it on the internet, or wherever.  Today's pod is all about the new avionics systems for the updated Ludlow 7 Motherfucking Rocketship, including the new touchscreen displays, and replacing the cigarette lighters with usb ports.  And then, the drinking and pot smoking begins.  We're in our new 35 minute format now, so, it gets weird. 

August is ending, and we're celebrating it by cooking a jellyfish.  I don't think that's a thing.  Do you mean those swedish fish?  I don't know how to make those, but we could buy some and heat them up in the oven or something.  What kind of wine would you pair with that?  I would think a riesling would be good there.  Maybe something from Alsace, something on the dry side?  You know what else I have is vodka and grape juice.  Should we just drink that?  

It might be a little redundant to take a vacation right now, but we're doing it anyway.  And to celebrate our impending vacation, we're roasting an ox and drinking copious amounts of Chateauneuf du Pape.  Why the fuck not.  Covid, baby.  No more rules.

Look, we couldn't get into it today.  Baseball's on, both the NBA and WNBA are back... We tried to podcast.  We really did.  But, the live sports on TV were too distracting.  So instead, here's the highlights of us doing our own play-by-play commentary from Red Sox-Mets, Jazz-Pelicans, and Lakers-Clippers.  As a special bonus, count the beer cans cracking open in the background.  Closest guess without going over wins a free Glud-Mont Flag Covid Mask from our friends at TheGlud.Com!

DSM is launching a new podcast series, "Mafiette," a podcast about the women in our rag tag gang of rocket scientists and petty thieves.  Podcast host Laurence Couture is stopping by the pod today to plug the new show, talk a little marketing, do a little stabbing, and drink the boys under the table.  Plus we offer a sneak peak at the Mafiette pod.  And all in our new 22 minute format.  Yee haw!

On today's pod, we're taking calls from our listeners.  Or, we tried to anyway.  See, what happened was, Chris and Wes didn't realize podcasts don't air live.  After a few very confusing minutes, they started wondering if the apocalypse had started.  A quick Google search yielded no results, but, then, it wouldn't, would it?  So they started drinking heavily and smoking cigarettes, emerging from the podcast basement in search of harder drugs - this is, after all, the end of the world - they ran into Logan, who asked what time they were recording the news segment, and, eventually, explained that, you know, podcasts don't air live.

Don't call it a comeback, we never went away. Kind of like Covid-19.  Logan is feeding Chris and Wes the latest news, and enough martinis to kill a gorilla.  Plus we talk with special guests Andre and Tyler.  And all in 15 minutes!  It's good to be back!

What happened was, there's this pandemic, and like 2500 new infections in Louisiana, and then massive social unrest, and the cops are, get this, they're responding to the people protesting police brutality by gassing them and shooting them and running them over with their god damn cars.  And then an actual hurricane happened.  **Warning: Excessive Drinking and Cussing In This Episode - Also A Lot of Nudity, But You Don't Have To Worry Too Much Because There's No Visual Component, As It's A Podcast.**

Logan tries, in vain, to explain to Chris and Wes that Jurassic Park was just a movie, and eventually a very drunk Laura Dern storms/stumbles out of the podcast. Fucking classic.

SpaceX has to abort the launch of their first crewed mission, and Chris and Wes are not impressed.

Chris and Wes and Logan are back, and they're podding harder than ever.  The news still sucks, we're using French Revolutionary time, and there's plenty of bourbon.  The new format is open-ended, and this one comes in at an hour and 38 minutes, so strap in, listen up, and drink along with the boys.  Unless you really shouldn't be drinking.
