The Backstory Episode.

Donviti predicts we’ll have a value proposition by week 12. July 4th coming up, but the fireworks topic goes nowhere. Neither of us do the backyard illegal fireworks thing.

I relate my story about trying to get in touch with Tom Kovachs and that story goes nowhere. I don’t blame Kovachs for being nervous about being on the podcast.

Oh Jesus…then we get into a 5 cent bottle deposit discussion that flounders. Then we talk about the ability to drink as a passenger in a car in Delaware which leads to a discussion about how lame it is that you have to drive every damn place in this state and each neighborhood is an isolated island and that places that they do think about walkability (Rehoboth, Newark, and maybe one other town) have a nice quality of life. So we wonder is this podcast value proposition is going to be lobbying for better non-car transportation planning.

Then we go into a “peek behind the curtain” view of the podcast and settle some business issues. I explain that the podcast is my property. Donviti is basically my employee because I called him. If he had called me, and set up the podcast account, then I would be his employee. Then I explain to Donviti that the guilt trip card does not work as well when you tell the person that you are using guilt to manipulate them.

Then I volunteered to be Donviti’s life coach and ask him how much he drinks a week. Donviti explains that he quit drinking for 6 months. Near the end, Donviti recommends a book and provides our listener some actual value.

Later bitches.

    Good Lord, are you guys still doing this? As I told Donviti in an email, it’s like listening to the voices in Glenn Beck’s brain but without the lithium.

  2. jason330 says:

    Yeah. It is what I imagine a middle school production of “Waiting for Godot” would be like.

    Can not ding you for dishonesty.

    Hey…when did the Starbucks giftcard pic get added? I recognize that. I told y’all it’s universal (provided the merchant accepts mutilated currency).

  5. nemski says:

    Me thinks the Amish is trying to generate listeners. I might listen for a $5 gift card, that is if the podcast is less than 15 minutes long.

    You’re already out.

  7. dv says:

    as if more than 15 minutes of your time would be a waste….

    wait, now I know why your posts never seem to show you put much time or thought into them.

  8. jason330 says:

    The gift card is because we don’t have a value proposition yet.

  9. nemski says:

    A fly on the wall told me this is actually how Jason330 and Donviti make the podcast.

    Now, get this image out of your head.
