Davecast #10: How you can become a Superhero…

Wowzer! It has been 5 months, and the Davecast is still going strong. I am as shocked as the rest you faithful interwebbers.

What does it take to become a Superhero? The most common answer is exposure to radioactive materials. Well that is plain wrong. The correct answer, as with much of life’s problems, is drugs.

Christopher Reeve is dead. Has been for 5 years now. Oh yeah, this is his death anniversary (deathiversary?). I’m better than Superman because I’m alive and still have my powers and they aren’t lame like his “breath through a tube” or “talk real slow” abilities. Well anyhoo, let’s jump right to it. Enjoy…

Davecast #8: How to Cure Everything from AIDS to Zebras!

davecast8fataldisease

Here at the Davecast we love what we do. Whether it be fixing electronics or urban survival. Now we all have fun and josh-around, but serious issues grab our attention from time to time. This is one of those times. AIDS. We can cure it. Don’t tell the “Man” or we might get sent to Guantanamo.

As kookie as we might be, we are serious about our craft. Dead serious. That’s why we at Davecast and DAPS are here to share in family secrets. Help us help you. Take us to your family and introduce us. We’re harmless, scout’s honor. We have more magical healing powers than Jesus and David Copperfield put together. It’s just too bad about Patrick Swayze, we didn’t make it in time. For that we are deep and solemn. So we are going to try and make it up to you by giving you the secrets of cheating death. Also, I think Kanye West is a racist and needs to be helped. But we will save that for another Davecast. Thank you all.

Davecast: Living to Win: A Guide to How Winning is Done….

“That’s how winning is done!”- Rocky Balboa…. No truer words have ever been uttered nor have had a more profound effect on me. Sylvester Stallone is a great man, not just because he does steroids, but because he knows what it takes to make winning a part of his everyday life. How do you live to win? I get these questions a lot. Now there isn’t any rule book or concrete formula, it is rather a state of mind in which you live life the way you want to live it, basically.

If you’re upset that you don’t know how to live to win, then you are a lost cause and should probably go join a bowling league or act in productions of Oklahoma (Oak-la-homo) because you in fact, suck. I mean come on man, it’s not that hard to win. Look at it this way, it’s the opposite of fail. There, does that help? No? Well I have nothing more to say to you then.

Paul Stanley did the right thing by making the song “Live to Win” (Featured on South Park)… An epic win in life lessons and awesomeness… GTFO

Davecast: Dreaming dreams and forgetting Dreamcast…

Today we will delve into the realm of dreamland. No, not where that cute little eating machine Kirby is from, but rather or sleepy time T.V. I tend to have over the top dreams where anything goes. I really mean anything. I probably should see someone that has a nice comfy couch. Apparently there are books that tell you what they mean, and I’m going to find out. Have you ever watched a horned beetle fight a poisonous millipede to the death? The answer for me is yes, but that was only the beginning…..

The Davecast: Drunk-Jackets?

This week’s Davecast is delivered despite Poppa Checks having gone missing for almost a full week. He is undoubtedly wearing a straitjacket where ever he is, and that also happens to be the main theme of this episode.

Davecast: How to be safe in everyday life and still enjoy doing those things you do….

Life happens. No one should let a a serious thing like violence get in the way. The ancient Mayans knew this all too well. They made violence and death a part of their regular daily activities. After playing a game of ball, the winners would be sacrificed to the gods and praised. There was no fear, on love for the greater good of society. That was at least before 1980 so I really don’t care.

Nowadays we can”t afford to sacrifice ourselves to any god (not even Marduk), because we have work on Monday. Here is a little video that can help you avoid human sacrifice while putting your mind at ease…

I am sorry Lord Marduk, I will sacrifice the first person who comments on this post for they are the winner….

Davecast: Chicago where art thou???

Last week me and the ever stylish Flam visited Chi-town and have some stories to tell. When I say stories I mean, stories because of drunken inebriation and the fact that Chicago cannot hold a thing up to New York in cool…fact…..

Oh for all you Chi-town lovers go sit on it, I mean Lupe Fiasco is cool though. Big up to Common too. I’ll forget your face, Kanye…

P.S. The Sears tower is less than magical and way overrated but i did flick the “Bean”……

Davecast: How to fix your T-Mobile phone….

Having trouble with your cell phone and don’t want to pony-up your hard earned cash to fix it in this ever declining economy? The phone Doctor is In, and your in need of a check-up….

No its not magic, it’s just good ol’ fashioned elbow grease and American pride. Now I’m no expert, but I do know a thing or two about a thing or two. Now what you didn’t see was that I wore protective safety goggles to shield my eyes from any flying debris from any uncooperating phone. Remember kiddies, don’t be a hot shot, there isn’t anything cool about getting hurt….

P.S. Chicks dig scars…

Davecast: Actors who want to act like actors in commercials where acting takes place…

Hey folks welcome to the first installment of The Davecast. Do you act? Do you want to act better? Do you want to act in commercials? If yes, watch this….

Nature Valley bars sure are delish, especially when you eat them with diet coke. Both are refreshing and both are tasty. I’ve been eating Nature Valley bars for quite a few years now and they never let me down on taste or satisfaction. Diet coke has always been there for me as well, giving me that caffeine boost i need during the day without me taking in unnecessary calories.

cokeFollow me on twitter @thedavecast

A special thanks to Jonathan Valde for kick starting this V-Log….
