Syndication

Contained within are the contents of another episode of "Are You Serious?" This time around, Chris and Frank discuss the economic stability of Venezuela and it's long term impact on the region's native population.        

Wait...WHAT?    

In actuality, they discuss Astroboy, Star Wars The Clone Wars, Metalocalypse, The Venture Brothers, Community, 30 Rock, Michelle Bachmann's "Freedom Rally," why it's really really bad  that John Boehner can't pronounce the word hyperbole and the fact that he can't tell the difference between the Constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence. Also discussed is the tragedy at Fort Hood. Our condolences go out to everyone affected by the terrible shootings.    

That's just some of what's discussed this time around. We recorded a little early, so no real feedback to speak of. Coincidentally, that does make for a shorter show.    

Music this week is from:    
Guns 'N Roses - "Civil War" - from  Use Your Illusion II    
Too Much Joy - "Clowns" - from  Son of Sam I Am    
Dethklok - "Bloodlines" - from Dethalbum II    

A special thanks to MSNBC and Keith Olbermann. We use a clip in this show to illustrate Chris' douche of the week. Thanks for not suing us!

Hi everyone,                 

     El and I know that this will not be an episode for everyone. We discuss some of the problems that people encounter that could result in an abusive relationship. This can be a touchy subject and a potentially dangerous one as well, but one that we felt should not be ignored.     

     We discuss what could constitute mental and psychical abuse and how to identify the signs. Since every relationship is different, we talk in broad strokes about identifying behaviors.     

     During the show, we list off some phone numbers and websites that could be helpful if you find yourself in an abusive situation. They are:

A non-profit resource

Rape Abuse and Incest National Network

     Always keep in mind that you can talk to your Doctor, Clergy, or the Police among others if you need help. To our international listeners, I apologize for not listing sites to help you in your own country, but you could talk to the above mentioned people and they can point you in the right direction.    


     You don't need to stay in an abusive relationship. You deserve to be happy and safe. Leaving may very well be the most difficult and terrifying thing you ever do, but it will be worth it to put that part of your life behind you. No one should live in fear.

     Hello everyone! Here is episode Sixty Four for your listening pleasure. This week, we decided to forgo notes and just wing it. You think we could do that considering all the time that we have been doing the show. Well, you might be surprised how much two simple words on a piece of paper would have helped us this week. Those words? "Koi pond."     

     Anyway, this week we discuss the normal things, a little T.V. (including the pilot of "V," some current events, and some complete jerks. Then we listen to some listener feedback and try to wrap up the show. It's kind of a disjointed ending, but it does eventually come to a close!    

     Don't forget to follow this link to witness the comedy genius that is JACK CHOP!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADqAWUoVtbs  Is the Lynn reference at the end a nod to Outside the Cinema? Maybe... but do you think I would have mentioned it if it wasn't confirmed? While you're at it why not check out some of the other movies that Adam Green and Paul Solet have made? Movies like "Hatchet" and "Grace."

     Thanks to everyone who nominated us for a podcast award, we'll know what came of it in a few weeks! Please, head over and vote for us on podcastalley: http://www.podcastalley.com/podcast_details.php?pod_id=63603 Thanks!

     Music this week is from:
  Dethklok - "Laser Cannon Deth Sentence" from Dethalbum II"
  Osaka Popstar and the American Legends of Punk - "Astro Boy (live) from Rock 'Em O-Sock 'Em Live
  Living Colour - "Glamour Boys" from Vivid
  Green Day - "Geek Stink Breath" from International Superhits!    

Thanks everyone for all you support, we really appreciate it!

'Till next week!

 Welcome again to another "wonderful" episode of Are You Serious?    

In this episode, we keep to the same formula that seems to have been working all along for us.     

 - First up - Discuss some recently seen T.V. and movies.    

 - Second up - A little bit of randomness mixed in with who we have selected as our douche-bag(s) of the week.     

 - Third - Mixed in with the listener feedback, we usually discuss some more things that don't really have a place in the show.    

 - Fourth - We list off the contact information and close out the show.    

 - Fifth, after the closing song ends, we try to put something funny or weird at the end.    

 - In between all that other stuff, we have commercials for other shows that we really like, followed by music.    

Speaking of which, music this week is from:    
Heretix - "Season of the Witch" off of "A.D.        
Megadeth - "Go to Hell" off of "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey Soundtrack"
U2 - "Beat on the Brat" off of "We're a Happy Family"    
Rob Zombie - "What" off of "Hellbilly Deluxe 2"    

Thanks everyone for your support, we'll talk to you next week.

In our D-Bag of the week section, you can guess who one of the topics would be about...

Then we wrap up the show with voice mail. Frank is pretty sick for this show, so we tried to keep it shorter than normal. We'll be back next week with a longer show!

Dr. John - "Season of the Witch'
Chris Cornell - "Billie Jean"

Two Married Geeks Episode Six: How Do You Know When It's Over?

Hello everyone, in this episode we have made some small changes. The first thing you may notice is that we have shortened the length of the show. We decide for now to focus on one topic per show. We think that this will keep the episodes a little more focused and a little less rambling.

In this episode, we discuss how you can tell if a relationship is over. We have some real life examples, but they are extremes of situations that you may encounter. Then we answer listener feedback, and call it a night.

Music in this episode is from:
The Smithereens - "Yesterday Girl"
Powerman 5000 - "The End is Over"
Lick the Tins - "Can't Help Falling in Love"

We hope you enjoy the new and (hopefully) improved Two Married Geeks!

Hello, welcome to episode five of Two Married Geeks."

In this episode, we discuss how important trust is in a relationship as well as communication. Without either of these things, maintaining a relationship can be extremely difficult, if not impossible.

We also veer wildly off topic, talk about people we know without naming names, and make fun of each other a bit, then we answer voice mail.

Don't forget if you have questions or comments, you can write to us at:

or call us at:

Thanks for your support everyone, and if you lke the show, you can always vote for it on podcast alley, or leave a review on iTunes, under the Are You Serious feed of course.

Episode Fifty Nine: "Eight fifty-nine and ten... ten seconds, yes."

In this episode, we talk about Glee, Community, The Office, Mad Men, Facebook, Pizza and Video Games, how our daughters will rule the world, voice mail, Outside the Cinema, Mystery Cafe, and a lot of other things.

Music this week is from:
Men at Work - "It's a Mistake"

The show may sound a little different to some people this week. The technical issue was identified and will be corrected for the next show. It's not a big deal, it just sounds a little more hollow than usual. I hope everyone enjoys it and comes back for more, regardless. We'll talk to you next week.
