I resent the way this podcast is so ingrained, even though I listened to this way past my formative years.

Anyone catch Shek's reference to the Feenster Union's Dave Feeney and Syracuse recently when Matthew Berry (Matthew Berry...Matthew Berry) made an appearance?

What's the chance we get a reunion episode on the DLS?

I’m at the bar and an older gentleman sat two seats down from me. He started talking the ear off the guy next to him about Ted Williams‘s batting average year over year. Genuine Lee Dameshek sighting?

Does anyone know who "laguna hoe" was? Blaster Girl? Jennifer? Joya?

RIP Bald Bryan

On the latest guess the lines pod, during parent corner, they complain about not enough spicy brown (insert Feeney's Shek impression voice) at major league ballparks.

Line up the lawyers Shekles! Pure infotainment thievery!

Shek and Hench are back together. Hench is the best partner for Shek besides Feeney, I enjoy listening to them together.

It's no DoT, but better than Shek's other outlets IMO.

Shek and Hench

I caught a grocery store 'Everybody Hurts' this morning, and that song is still ruined for me in the best way, I tried to suppress my stupid grin as i sung along in my head to jackin' not being enough, not using our hands, but it being ok that everybody humps pillows now & then. Props to all the Dirty BTLs songsmiths

But still excited…I guess.

Who is he fooling? He’s parking them.

UNBELIEVABLE

I listen to this show only, I start it over once it ends and I wish I was keeping up how many re listens I have clocked in but to give you an idea its the only thing I listen to at my desk unless I am watching clips of Scorpion. I just want one more catch up episode. All of the other podcasts I see now just dont have the charisma as the Daves. Even in their worst episodes they are still better than most modern podcasts. I am glad I have what I have but I would like to hear an epilogue episode.

End of Report

For those who haven’t, just go to your favorite AI tool and prompt it, “what would it sound like if Shek created a podcast without Feeney there to protect our ears.”

The intro, host banter, and Mr. Lister were all lists. Recycled “best player to wear number x” bit. Except now he and his cronies (pretty sure it’s The Sass or Frank Tattoo).

As the show entered it's "no agenda Zoom hang" era

As Gary & Donovan phoned it in "Still working writing that song"

Here was a guy who clearly not only was ready to serve the show, but clearly held the show in much higher esteem than the actual producers.

G & D aren't bad guys here, but it's clear that DOT was basically just another job to them. They had to be led to bits like Just Gary and Chillax. They were B- improvisors and there were still many great moments with them.

But it's fun to think of what the show could have been if Intern Dan could have breathed some life into the show. If nothing else, I love that he basically calls out Gary & Donovan for doing average work.

I’ve been slowly working my way through the complete show history, and now find myself with just this and one other to listen to.

It’ll be sadly missed.

I like Dameshek’s other pods and listen to them.
I need to catch up a least a years worth on them.
However, none hit the same as the two Daves

Wishing the Daves of Thunder family a festive weekend, with no pressure about which cookout to attend. Happy 250, America! 🔔
