Why the Order 1886 is Destroying America. That shadowy secret society that is dedicated to protecting mankind from the werewolf menace is destroying America. What would America be without werewolves and vampires? We would still be living under the rule of a foreign government. If it wasn’t for the shadow dwellers coming here to find a place where they wouldn’t be killed just for feeding off the living we wouldn’t be here. Why the Order 1886 is Destroying America Again, no word from Chance or anyone else for that matter. We have here another opportunity for someone to take Chance down. They could definitely become the new reigning king of email, but again no one has stepped up. The hosts of the DG Podcast want me to warn you that what they recorded may represent the entire overthrow of the free world. There is a possibility that in there incoherent ramblings are the dangerous seeds of a cultural revolution that could sweep the globe in a firestorm both figurative and literal. Words have power to build and to destroy. Most-likely you will be fine, but you have been warned.

Ban Robot Immigrants. You know that we are just going to have more and more problems with those darn robot immigrants.

7 Secrets About Gamers. As you all know gamers have secrets. It is part of the allure, the attraction that surrounds gamers. Whenever there is a gamer there are secrets. Some of these secrets are so deep and dark we don’t even know about them ourselve which only adds to the mystique. 7 Secrets About Gamers Chance once again graced us with his presence, not in the physical sense, in the email sense. Like he’d come all the way out here just to appear on our podcast when he can cast his voice through the internet in the form of quasi spam. So, for your pleasure here is the full text of his email. Now, as we say on the show, moving on. Jason regaled us with tales of his exploits. Though exploits may be a bit of a stretch. Let’s just say at least he’s not dead. I mean, with his crazy life of reading and eating and sleeping it’s amazing that he doesn’t just drop from the sheer excitement. Rhett is still Rhett. If he wasn’t the world would become an altogether too frightening place full of love, rainbows, and unicorns. It is a good thing that Rhett is there to keep that from happening. Can you imagine all those unicorns everywhere…it gives me the heebie-jeebies.

The Miraculous DG Podcast. That’s right this podcast is miraculous. It will cure warts, baldness, hairiness, sniffles, mumps, chicken pox, the plague, and so much more. (It really is only miraculous that it has lasted this long.) The Miraculous DG Podcast We do have an email from Chance this week. If you didn’t know he tends to be very verbose when communicating, which is why Jason abbreviates his comments. You can read his full email here. As for what has been going on. Well, Jason started playing Space Marine again. He played it for a while and then got distracted by another shinier game. He didn’t go back reluctantly, but gladly. Space Marine is a great game. The ending is a bit of a disappointment as there probably won’t be a sequel. He’s been busy with family things, church things, and other holiday distractions. Tis the season. Rhett has been watching Man in the High Castle and playing the Wood Elves expansion on Total War: Warhammer. There are other things in here, but you should listen to the podcast for the rest of the news. We had broadcasting issues again this week so the video will be put up eventually.

4 Days to Rogue One. Another Star Wars movie in a year. What did we do to be so lucky? I know we endured the prequel trilogy. Hopefully, this is going to be better than Episode VII. I need to get these out on time. 4 Days to Rogue One Welcome to the DG Podcast. For all of you out there who don’t know what we are about. This is an attempt to simplify our podcast. Rhett and Jason, our two hosts, attempt to hold your attention for however long it takes to get through the podcast. Sometimes they have some good things to say, other times the Elders of the Internet pull the plug in mid-sentence. During this segment of the show we talk about the things we have been doing this week. We talk about anything and everything that happens to cross our minds. Sometimes we get political, but it is always nerdy. What can I say, we are unprofessionally consistent. If you can handle that magnitude of discussions, we welcome you to the podcast.
