Dashing Digressions

Happy New Year everyone! It's the last episode of 2017, and the guys are just now getting decent recording equipment, thanks, Santa! In this episode, Pete laments his addiction to Fortnite, and Dane recounts his time with "What Remains of Edith Finch." Elsewhere, the guys discuss their confusion over "Catherine" and it's upcoming remake, before Pete tries his hand at food criticism. Dane's LAME got cancelled due to poor internet service, so instead, they talk about Time Travel for a while.

Did you hear? That new Star Wars film is out. The guys have some thoughts. Things get personal as they describe the deeper intricacies of male relationships. Elsewhere, the talk turns to the definition of art and understanding of some art movements after discussing Doki Doki Literature Club. Dane's LAME about Christmas Classics. The discussion gets a little saucy regarding bears, furries, feet, polyamory, and... well you'll just have to hear the rest. FInally, some personal shoutouts to a couple of our favorite Podcasts, @Buildabandcast, and @Dimlylitcast.

This week, the guys go over some plans they have for new projects. Pete talks about his time with Doki Doki Literature Club, Dane gloats about finishing his semester with high marks, and they encounter some weird technical problems in the middle. Elsewhere, the guys discuss running a tabletop RPG campaign and Dane's LAME about American Pie.

We took a week off to recharge and get rid of those bad vibes hovering over that last episode, and it's paid off! This week we have a nice long episode for you, full of fun stuff, and our trademark tangents. Dane saw a long list of new films and Pete displays his pitch-perfect imitation of Marky Mark. Elsewhere the guys discuss the power of emotional honesty(whoa, heavy) and Dane's LAME about the Blade Trilogy.

And now... the thrilling conclusion to #NaPodPoMo!

With just one more day left in #NaPodPoMo, Dane has to realize that there may not be the time he anticipated. So as not to fall back on a promise, he offers up a taste of something bigger.

Day 28 of #NaPodPoMo! The last piece of the puzzle. The answer is here now. Send your solution to daneb@dashingdigressions.com! On the surface though, we talk a bit about Game of Thrones, and then Chris and Dane get pretty introspective with their personal flaws. Then Rachel comes in to save the show, with some damn fine improv, and Chris steals the greatest final line of any movie ever.

Day 27 of #NaPodPoMo! Another volume of Chatting with Chris. Chris laments reading Anne Rice, Dane laments reading Stephen King, and they both gush about Tolkien. Could it get more cliche'? Probably not.

Dane and Pete were not feeling great in this episode. They were tired and sickly, so they reverted to their most basic selves: Nerds. They argue about The Avengers, Transformers, and Pokemon. Pete considers how to make a meaningful monster reveal and Dane wants a satisfying conclusion. Elsewhere, the pair realizes their fault and make a commitment to change.

Day 25 of the #NaPodPoMo! We're nearly to the end, and it's getting clear that it's wearing on us. This was the preroll for tomorrow's episode and it'll give you a pretty good idea of where it's going to be headed. Pete describes the blocking of the opener of his latest work. Dane's been reading atheist texts, and they're both a little irritable.

On this, the 24th Day of #NaPodPoMo, we are pleased to release the final chapter of the Drunkcast saga. We go over the EA Battlefront 2 debacle, Dane, more than a little tipsy, tries to justify his stance on Halo 2 against a wave of haters. Chris disagrees about "It Follows." And Pete lets a secret slip that may shatter out integrity forever.

Just want to wish you all a happy and safe Thanksgiving.

It's day 22 of #NaPodPoMo and we've made some old stuff new again. It's a little more serious than our usual stuff, Pete talks about lyrics that made him think about love, Dane talks about the first album he ever bought. And they close it out with a little vocal silliness.

Day 21 of the #NaPodPoMo! Another rousing volume of Chatting with Chris. Chris sheepishly admits that Dane and Pete actually managed to teach him stuff. Dane voices an unpopular opinion on The Last of Us and then spoils both endings for I Am Legend.

20 days! We're killing this #NaPodPoMo, almost a much as we were killing drinks for this recording. Yes, it's part 2 of the Drunkcast, wherein Chris tells us our armed forces desperately need baby wipes. Further in, we talk a few network shows and their stars, also the questionable relevance of MC Chet Haze. Elsewhere we compare and contrast Tom Hardy roles, before closing out with some politics.

3rd episode of the #NaPodPoMo is here! The guys start it off questioning the merits of the current "Sexiest Man Alive," which leads to some soul-searching by Pete. Elsewhere, Dane recounts the terrifying spread of the #SnuggieCult. Pete also reminiscies about his former title of "Master of Disaster." And finally Dane's LAME about The Mighty Ducks.

Day 18 on the #NaPodPoMo has us talking about a book that Pete's been reading. Gets us thinking about philosophy and at then we workshop a couple of redneck characters Pete's been working on.

It's Day 17 of #NaPodPoMo and the first part of the drunkcast we've been promising is here! Pete, Dane, and Chris (Also Rachel!) get tipsy on beer and scotch and talk it out. Chris, with his list of notes, wants to settle a beef with Pete. Pete recalls the older days of the show. Dane is tasked with some editing humor. And all three laugh it up pretty much the whole time.

Day 16 of #NaPodPoMo! After a night of drinking and recording, Dane needs some time to recover before going through the 3 hours of content. But he still managed to make an audioblog entry for you guys!

Half-done with #NaPodPoMo. Day 15 and we have a little taste of the drunkcast we promised. This is the preroll before we started getting saucy. Also, a shoutout to Houston local, Lee's Fried Chicken & Donuts, feeding a few hungry boozy buddies.
