Episode Sixty Seven: "All I asked was sixty-seven million, and he said "okay.""    

In this episode, we discuss topics ranging from abortion to the T.V. show Glee.     

First, we start off with our usual wrap up of what we watched the previous week. This includes Glee, The Office, Big Bang Theory, Mad Men, Parks and Recreation, Community, V and a few other shows, as well as Frank's review of Precious.   

Next, we get into the current events portion of the show. Health care is discussed, however briefly, followed by a small discussion of "She who must not be named" and her new book. Then we move into territory that caused us to get a bit more animated. The first is whether we should commit more troops to Afghanistan. The second point had to do with the trial of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed taking place in New York. We get quite riled up and have a lively discussion about the pros and cons of these two events.    

Next up, we delve into listener feedback. We get a few good e-mails and one really confusing voice mail, but keep them coming!    

Music this week is from:    
Faith No More - "The Cowboy Song"    
D.R.I. - "Suit and Tie Guy"    
Collective Soul - "Shine"    
Sublime - "Hong Kong Phooey"    
Plus, stay tuned for a very special cameo appearance after you are asked "are you still there?" You won't regret it! Well, maybe you will.

In this episode, we focus a bit more on entertainment than we usually do in other shows. We cover Big Bang Theory, The Office, V, Parks and Recreations, Community, Glee, Star Wars Clone Wars and a few others.

We take a specific interest in the portrayal of Luminara Unduli and her relationship with her padawan Bariss Offee and contrast her with the other Jedi fighting in the clone wars.

Then we discuss some douche-bags. Nothing all that ire inducing really. Just a few things that are mildly bugging us this week.

We get to the voice mail eventually, as you will hear, and then call it a show.

Music this week is from:
Helmet - "Milquetoast"
Simple Plan - "American Jesus"
Pennywise -"500 Miles"
At least, I think those are the artists that recorded these songs. Although, I am sure about Helmet.

Till next week!

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

     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!
