SModcast 1 - Fisting Flipper

Title: Fisting Flipper
Notes On The Show

* Kevin gives an explanation for SModcast: "Sit around and add to the detritus to the wasteland of podcast that are out there."

* Alternate Name: Yet Another Podcast

* Scott explain how he came up with the name for SModcast: "It's really clever. Your last name is 'Smith', and my last name is 'Mosier'.  I took the first letter off of our last names and put them together and took the 'P' off of Podcast.

Kevin on the name: "Rolls off the tongue. Like Zamboni."

* Title comes from the story of the world's tallest man removing plastic from the stomachs of dolphines and Kevin mention that it is a better story if he (the world's tallest man) goes through the ass instead of the throat and that the headline would be "Fisting Flipper".
