Syndication

Happy Birthday to us! One year ago, on September 22nd, 2008, the first episode of Are You Serious? was posted. Each and every week since then, we have posted a new show, sometimes two in a week.

Our show has evolved over time, starting with one shared USB microphone, we moved on to an older mixer and two simple microphones. From there, we acquired a good mixer and a better recording program. Simple things like filters and leveling programs, help make the show sound as good as it does today.

To help illustrate how the show has evolved over time, I have included some audio clips from our first two shows for you to hear and compare.

Early on, we were accepted into the Popsyndicate family of shows. this provided us with a network of shows and forums. We have made connections with many good people that produce many great shows. Using that as a jumping off point, we have reached out to many other great shows and met some more great people.

The greatest thing about doing the show is meeting all the people that have become listeners. We have fans all across the world and it is very humbling and awesome to talk to all of you each week.

Thank you all so much for all of your support and we welcome all new liseners with open arms - and a healthy dose of sarcasm.

Hello everyone, and welcome back to another episode of Two Married Geeks. In this show, we discuss possible scenarios that you could encounter on a first date and how to gracefully take the good and the bad.

Our second topic this week is one that both of us have experience in; cheating. Both of us have been the person that was cheated on and we will tell you how it felt, how to overcome it and how to try and avoid being the victim of it.

Also, we have a surprise third topic! We went from listener feedback right into another topic; prioritizing the relationship. What does that mean you ask? That means that it is possible to still see your friends and family even though you have met someone new. The last thing you want to create is a sense of resentment for your new partner.

Hello everyone, Chris and El are back for another episode of Two Married Geeks.

This time, in honor of the start of the new school year, they discuss back to school concerns and how to overcome them. Cliques can be a difficult thing to deal with, whether you are in one or are the target of one. Chris and El offer some advice on how to look at the situation and how much it really matters in the grand scheme of things. College and work environments play more into the high school clique pattern that you would have ever guessed.

The second topic they discuss is what to expect from a date and what you are looking for in a date. There is a certain point in the show where you can tell, even though the hosts have been mainlining coffee for the last three hours, nothing can stop the need for sleep. Sure it veers off into tangent country, but at least it's entertaining!

Don't forget, you can call the show at

If you are concerned about people finding out who you are, don't worry...

This week, we want to welcome all of the new listeners that joined us last month and for this show. We are happy that you have all joined us for our sarcastic, belligerence fueled weekly rants.


My apologies to all that listen this week, Frank's microphone was a tiny bit little louder than Chris'.

 

This week, the topics that we discuss are Edward M. Kennedy, health care reform, the second amendment, AR-15s, Scarface and the surrounding culture, True Blood, Mad Men, Weeds, overused "quotable" movie lines, hyper-awareness, the Secret Service, Bert Stead, Christopher Broughton, The Faithful World Baptist Church and how it is missing the message of the Bible and it's leader, Pastor Steven Anderson.

 

We have received our first anonymous e-mail! Someone wrote in and wanted to tell us a story about their problems with the insurance industry, but wants to avoid any problems.

 

Music this week is from:

 

Scatterbrain - "Dude, Don't Call Me Dude"

Siouxsie and the Banshees - "Trust in Me"

Powrman 5000 - "Who Do You Think You Are?"
