SModcast is the meandering palaver of a pair of dudes whose voices are so dull, they don’t deserve to be on the radio (and, hence, aren’t). Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier are SModcast.The best thing about SModcast? It don’t cost nothing.
SModcast 60: The Clone War –
In which our heroes marvel over Pillow Babies, thwart an attack by Stalin’s man-apes, and face off over the love of a human Xerox.
[CONTENT WARNING] SModcast features harsh language and even harsher notions of propriety. Listener discretion is advised.

With Walt’s sunny view he may need to see Bryan’s shrink.

Ryan beat me to the punch on that article – that dog looks like Kevin’s prediction of clones… Me. Dog.

I think when they said “pillow babies” they were meant “pillow angels” for anybody that wants to look it up.

This may or may not be the place for it, but congrats on winning the appeal boys!
Zack and Miri is officially rated “R!”

What’s going on with itunes? Smodcast 60 showed up a few hours ago then disappeared when I tried to download it. I know us itunes users get shafted, but that’s just cruel!

I can’t belive that Walt can remember Mutiplicity but not the plot for The Island. Also good call Kevin, on not wanting a clone. I mean the conversation remindes me of this old movie where this guy makes a clone of himself (but doesn’t tell anyone) and by the end of the movie the clone was jealous that he killed his counterpart (the “real” person), and just took over his life. Another great smodcast!!!

not only is this and #59 not downloading through Zune, but I cant even get it to download all the way from this page. i tried yesterday to download it, and all i got was 1/3rd of the episode. anyone else?
August 6th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
I haven’t been able to get it to download either–from iTunes or the site. D:

The idea for using body parts is from the island. Also I think it would be great to have an army of Kevin Smiths.

Love the show guys, but I can’t download the show anymore on itunes! Last week it took about half a hour to download and with the new one, all I get as is an “err=.3259 message” after it tries to download a few times. Anyone have any ideas??

Great show, gentlemen.
And the conversation about clones got almost creepy for me. I went to a small Christian college w/ two twin sisters who not only looked the same (let’s say, a bit homely), but also lived in the same dorm room together, went everywhere together, talked privately w/ one another and wrote weird scifi stories in writing classes I was in. I swear to God. They once walked into class w/ matching George W. Bush t-shirts. They would also practice flag-signaling to each other: one would stand at the dorm and the other at the cafeteria over 100 yards away and send flag signals to each other.
That’s what we’re in for if Walt’s dream comes true. Sweet.
August 6th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
Where is it? The mp3 is only the first 8 seconds. PLEASE HELP!
August 6th, 2008 at 11:58 pm
sorry, but as far as smodcasts go, this one was pretty lame…obviously recorded at the same time as the other one..(Hell, you can even hear Kevin yawning during this one !!!!)
AS for cloning…clone Scott so you can pull him in whenever the topics start to lull.
still lovin the smod!!!

It’s be great to fuck with three Marilyn Monroe clones. It would take a good *muffle muffle* years to raise them and train them in gymnastics.
But after *muffle***muffle* years . . . BINGO. There’s me, in the midst of a hot and sticky game of naked Twister.
AHHHHH . . . JA, DAS IST GUT.
August 7th, 2008 at 10:41 am
haha, today show just mentioned thinkgeek.com, very cool.
August 7th, 2008 at 12:04 pm
I have to admit, I’ve had a similar fantasy to Walt’s, that there could be two or three Xeroxes of me (but they would be like Multiplicity clones, sharing all my memories up to the point of cloning). What a great band we could be…we’d always be on the same page, musically, and there’d be nothing we couldn’t say to each other! I get that, totally.
Then I realize that there are way too many mouths to feed, and the fantasy grows to allow the clones to merge back into one when we wanted. Now we’re in magic land, I guess…lol. But we could all subsist on one job, or all work different jobs, then recombine so one person gets all the combined cash. hahaha!

“ME WANT DEBBY!” Goddammit, that was the funniest thing I’ve heard in a long, long time.

Two things for you guys here. 1) You come up with some cool contests – but how about a contest where the prize is a talk-a-bout with you guys. I figured with the journey your conversation takes that is was much akin to walk-a-bouts in austrailia. So we could win an opportuniy to be on a smodcast with Kev and mo playing what if. 2)The what if’s that Kevin comes up with are HI-larious. How about if the holocost happened in Norhtern Ireland – the home of the NRA. Instead of jews hitler tries to take out the Irish. Anyway awesome series – and maybe you should consider a professional tv animated series where your what-ifs play out in visula form. I would pay to see demon mo vs the Giant Jesus.

I tried to place an order and it rejected it.

Hi
I heard you talking about the pillow babies and although it does sound pretty heinous, it would have been helpful for one of my family members.
This young man was born severely disabled and was never able to verbally communicate, walk or perform the most basic mental or physical tasks. For his entire life (40 plus years) he was the equivalent of a 4 to 6 month old baby, but his body grew to full size and he did go through puberty. He did have some awareness of the people around him, could feel pain and love, but was not able to do much else.
If this technology were available to him, caring for him may have been easier as he matured and the atrophy that set in later in life may have been better avoided since his muscles would not have required the adult level of exercise.
I don’t think the procedure should be done on anyone with a lessor disability.
Love Smodcast = take care.

Ah yes! Finally, the full-length 60MB file is now downloading. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, and now with Smod 61 up I get to listen to two in a row. Happy Days! (go easy, its a rough one at work today, these’ll help me through it, look out anyone who interrupts me though–hehe)

Gotta say it another way. You all don’t know what a clone is; you got your ideas from garbage movies that have been referencing each other for “science”. This would be funny, except it’s affecting science policy.
A clone is not a you that was pressed out of a 3-D printer. A clone is, as another poster indicates, an identical twin. Same main DNA, same mitochondrial DNA. You take the genetic material of something, put it into a fertilized egg, replacing the genes there, and it grows like any other baby. Plants have been cloned for thousands of years, and cows and such for decades now. They aren’t soulless automatons. They’re just new individuals. They grow up like anything else, and have their own thoughts, their own lives, just like any identical twin or triplet or quad. I think we get mixed up with 1) bad “science fiction” with no science in it 2) ideas of soul and spirit and mind that have a lot to say about us rather than reality. Listen, if I cloned you, Kevin, today, and put that zygote into your wife to grow, in nine months you have a baby. It’s your twin, but it AIN’T YOU. There are no laws that make it property, you can’t “harvest” it, you can’t do anything to it that you couldn’t do to a baby, ’cause it’s a baby. It’s gonna grow up, and while weird to see occasionally, you’d get used to it. Twins always do. It’d just be 37 years younger than you. The idea that it would have your thoughts or desires is a magical one; societies have always believed that twins are really the same person.They ain’t.
Also, if we force-grew a clone to adulthood – which no one possibly can do — the process that would grow a functioning mind would be bypassed. Brains grow by connecting neural nets. A force-grown clone would be a lump of hamburger, an autistic nothing that would never be able to sit up, probably, much less give you a hand job…
But it was fun to listen to.

“I just wanted to play hockey!!!”
“Well now you’re playing cockey, Other. Cockey!!!”
Too funny!!! I love Smodcast so much!

I don’t get how Walt just asumes that cloning himself would just work out like that… So damn stubborn

Hands down, one of the best episodes.
