Presenting...

Episode Fourteen: "God, aren't they fed yet? Do they even have Thanksgiving in Africa?"

We recorded this show at the same time as Episode Thirteen, so any new mail will be answered in our next show.

We have a shorter episode this week, but that doesn't mean that the show is any less good!

As always, call us at (206)338-3094

'Till next week!

Here, for all of you to enjoy, is Episode Thirteen. Or, as I like to call it; "You told me to fight, well I'm fighting, this place is not safe, not upstairs or down."

Here it is! Episode Twelve: "Honey, I never drive faster than I can see. Besides that, it's all in the reflexes."

For this show, we are going all professional! We have a mixing board which greatly increases the sound quality! We did learn a couple of things with this show. For instance, if you keep your cell phone too close to to microphone, you will get interference. Specifically, at 20m 30sec, 54m, 1h 2sec and 1h 45sec. So, lesson learned.

We also learned that it is possible to talk for an unreasonably long amount of time.

In our record long show, we cover new releases on DVD and in the theater, I go on a rant about the biggest jerk in Hollywood and how he almost ruined Fanboys, we discuss our favorite road trip movies, and then we get all serious and talk about proposition 8 in California.

I can't recall if there are any links that I needed to include, so there aren't any.

Enjoy!
Chris

This is our last show before the election. I want to take this opportunity to encourage everyone out there to go and vote on Tuesday. This is the most crucial election of our lives and your voice needs to be heard.

This week our friend Jorge stops by to talk a bit about his impressions going into the last week of the campaigns. It was a lot of fun and I hope we can have him back on soon.

Here's the link to 5th grader Damon Weaver's interview with Joe Biden.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW5X1eaozxQ

There's not really much else to say, we've done our best over the past two months to make the campaigning process fun, informative and sarcastic. (With a healthy lean to the left. Damn elitist liberal media!) Now it's up to you.

GET OUT AND VOTE!

We'll see you after the election!

This week, explore a listener suggested topic.
Soundtracks!
I'm pretty sure that we hit on almost every style of music (with the exception of country.)
As always, we answer listener e-mail, get a little belligerent, and ramble on and on just to hear our own voices!

Here it is,
Episode Eight: The rats are fleeing the sinking ship.

In this episode, we discuss the beginning of the home stretch of the race to the White House and who is abandoning the party.

We also take time to discuss temperament and race and how they both are playing a part in the campaign strategy of the candidates.

As I mention in the 'cast, here is an actual piece of GOP propaganda that was being used in souther California. People are calling them Obama bucks or, Obama food stamps. It's just a pathetic attempt at creating a culture of fear based around racial stereotypes.

Disgusting.

It's a shorter show this week, but we'll be back soon.

Here's the e-mail link if you received any of the racist robocalls mentioned in the show

Welcome back everyone!
     In another action packed episode Chris and Frank talk about one of the most fun subjects ever;
     WORK!
     First, we talk about bad jobs that we've had, then we talk about the good ones, than we talk about the bad bosses that we had.
     We have our list this week of where we would love to work (if the places were not fictional!)
     And we close out with listener e-mail.
     If it sounds like we recorded in a cave, well, we played around with the reverb slider this week.

Enjoy!

In a special political edition of Are You Serious? we talk politics. Frank and Chris made a decision to separate the topics for the listening pleasure of all.

The last thing that they want to do is have people stop listening to the show. Hence, this additional podcast.

Here's the link to the site that Heather mentions in her e-mail;

And again, don't be afraid to write us with topics you want us to cover, or just general topics for discussion.

Hey everybody, Chris here.

I can't wait to get the first two episodes up. So far, it's been a lot of fun learning how to do this. Now, we don't have the best set up, but I think that we sound relatively good.

Just to let everyone know, this is going to be a pretty random assortment of topics. We hope to have people write in and suggest topics for us to discuss.

You can write us at

areyouseriouspodcast@gmail.com

Thanks!
Chris
