The Fresnan Presents: Dorktown Podcast #75

We should just let ya know that this episode of Dorktown is for the giving fans of Dorktown. That's because it gets a little self-serving as there are no guests, a lot of talk about the Dorktown Anniversary Show (with a Victory Jump interview), Dorktown's favorite "listener" is called, and there is a Star Wars related tangent that can only be enjoyed by the hosts... and of course there are too many bad words.

If you've always hated this show, you'll really hate it after this. But when you get to 75 episodes, self-serving and fowl language is bound to happen. So, you've been warned: It's NOT SAFE FOR WORK (or Dorktown haters).

The real reason to come out to Audie's Olympic tonight are the bands, not the nerds

Sure, we want to celebrate podcasting for four years and, yes, we want to drink tonight. But, honestly we really want people to check out some Fresno bands for free. We love supporting our music scene and a podcast party is as a good excuse to do it as any.

But who the hell are these bands that are playing anyway? Well, if you must know:

FAY WRAYS
These guys are this blogs favorite band in town. The Fay dudes use every ounce of themselves when they're playing. You want to grit your teeth and quietly say "Fuck yeah!" to yourself while watching them. Check 'em, with some creative sound editing:

The Fresnan Presents: Dorktown Episode 68

Humbly brought to you by The Fresnan it's Dorktown Podcast Episode 68. It's unsafe listening for work and small English speaking children. If you're brave enough to listen, you can expect that hosts Mikey and Bells's mics will be too loud and the guests (Derek and Aaron) mics won't be working at all (there is a payoff for that if you can listen to the whole show). You can also expect three celeb guests to show up, and Mikey sounding like a dumbshit. Download: DorktownEpisode68.mp3 Or just use this player:
