<description><![CDATA[Episode Sixty Seven: &quot;All I asked was sixty-seven million, and he said &quot;okay.&quot;&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/><br/>In this episode, we discuss topics ranging from abortion to the T.V. show Glee.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/><br/>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. &nbsp;&nbsp; <br/><br/>Next, we get into the current events portion of the show. Health care is discussed, however briefly, followed by a small discussion of &quot;She who must not be named&quot; 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.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/><br/>Next up, we delve into listener feedback. We get a few good e-mails and one really confusing voice mail, but keep them coming!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/><br/>Music this week is from:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/>Faith No More - &quot;The Cowboy Song&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/>D.R.I. - &quot;Suit and Tie Guy&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/>Collective Soul - &quot;Shine&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/>Sublime - &quot;Hong Kong Phooey&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/>Plus, stay tuned for a very special cameo appearance after you are asked &quot;are you still there?&quot; You won't regret it! Well, maybe you will.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/><br/>Call us at 206-338-3094&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/>or write us at&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/>areyouseriouspodcast@gmail.com&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/><br/>]]></description>

<title>Episode Sixty Six: &#34;Sixty-six times? That's gotta hurt.&#34;</title>
<link>http://areyouseriouspodcast.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=550650#</link>
<description><![CDATA[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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Then we discuss some douche-bags. Nothing all that ire inducing really. Just a few things that are mildly bugging us this week.<br/><br/>We get to the voice mail eventually, as you will hear, and then call it a show.<br/><br/>Music this week is from:<br/>Helmet - &quot;Milquetoast&quot;<br/>Simple Plan - &quot;American Jesus&quot;<br/>Pennywise -&quot;500 Miles&quot;<br/>At least, I think those are the artists that recorded these songs. Although, I am sure about Helmet.<br/><br/>Call us at 206-338-3094<br/>or write to us at<br/>areyouseriouspodcast@gmail.com<br/><br/>Till next week!<br/><br/><br/>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Contained within are the contents of another episode of &quot;Are You Serious?&quot; This time around, Chris and Frank discuss the economic stability of Venezuela and it's long term impact on the region's native population.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <br/><br/>Wait...WHAT?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/><br/>In actuality, they discuss Astroboy, Star Wars The Clone Wars, Metalocalypse, The Venture Brothers, Community, 30 Rock, Michelle Bachmann's &quot;Freedom Rally,&quot; why it's really really bad&nbsp; 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.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/><br/>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.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/><br/>Music this week is from:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/>Guns 'N Roses - &quot;Civil War&quot; - from&nbsp; Use Your Illusion II&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/>Too Much Joy - &quot;Clowns&quot; - from&nbsp; Son of Sam I Am&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/>Dethklok - &quot;Bloodlines&quot; - from Dethalbum II&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/><br/>A special thanks to MSNBC and Keith Olbermann.

<title>Two Married Geeks Episode Seven: When You Are In An Abusive Relationship</title>
<link>http://areyouseriouspodcast.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=546942#</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/>&nbsp;<meta name="Title"></meta>

<title>Episode Sixty Four: &#34;Here's the sixty-four dollar question - what do you do with a vegetable?&#34;</title>
<link>http://areyouseriouspodcast.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=545543#</link>
<description><![CDATA[&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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? &quot;Koi pond.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Anyway, this week we discuss the normal things, a little T.V. (including the pilot of &quot;V,&quot; 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!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Don't forget to follow this link to witness the comedy genius that is JACK CHOP!&nbsp; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADqAWUoVtbs&nbsp; 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 &quot;Hatchet&quot; and &quot;Grace.&quot;<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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!<br/><br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Music this week is from:<br/>&nbsp; Dethklok - &quot;Laser Cannon Deth Sentence&quot; from Dethalbum II&quot;<br/>&nbsp; Osaka Popstar and the American Legends of Punk - &quot;Astro Boy (live) from Rock 'Em O-Sock 'Em Live<br/>&nbsp; Living Colour - &quot;Glamour Boys&quot; from Vivid<br/>&nbsp; Green Day - &quot;Geek Stink Breath&quot; from International Superhits!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/><br/>Thanks everyone for all you support, we really appreciate it!<br/><br/>'Till next week!<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/><br/><br/>]]></description>

<title>Two Married Geeks Episode Six: How Do You Know When It's Over?</title>
<link>http://areyouseriouspodcast.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=538559#</link>
<description><![CDATA[Two Married Geeks Episode Six: How Do You Know When It's Over?<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Music in this episode is from:<br/>The Smithereens - &quot;Yesterday Girl&quot;<br/>Powerman 5000 - &quot;The End is Over&quot;<br/>Lick the Tins - &quot;Can't Help Falling in Love&quot;<br/><br/>We hope you enjoy the new and (hopefully) improved Two Married Geeks!<br/><br/>You can&nbsp; contact us at <br/>twomarriedgeeks@gmail.com<br/>or cal us at&nbsp; 206-309-9178<br/><br/>We'll be back in two weeks!<br/><br type="_moz"/>]]></description>

<title>Episode Fifty Eight: &#34;Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear... Oh, I forgot your name.&#34;</title>
<link>http://areyouseriouspodcast.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=529600#</link>
<description><![CDATA[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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Call us at 206-338-3094&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/>or write us at&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/>areyouseriouspodcast@gmail.com<br/>]]></description>

<title>Two Married Geeks Episode Four: The First Date, Cheating and Prioritizing the Relationship</title>
<link>http://areyouseriouspodcast.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=527999#</link>
<description><![CDATA[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. <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Casll our voice mail - 206-309-9178<br/>or write us at twomarriedgeeks@gmail.com<br/>If you want to stay anonymous, that's no problem, I will transcribe your voice mail if you ask and keep your identity a complete secret.<br/><br/>That's all, we'll talk to you in two weeks!<br/>]]></description>

<title>Two Married Geeks Episode Three: Back to School and Dating Expectations</title>
<link>http://areyouseriouspodcast.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=522970#</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello everyone, Chris and El are back for another episode of Two Married Geeks. <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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!<br/><br/>Don't forget, you can call the show at <br/>206-309-9178<br/>or write to us at <br/>twomarriedgeeks@gmail.com<br/><br/>If you are concerned about people finding out who you are, don't worry...<br/>To quote Janine from Ghostbusters, &quot;Oh, they'll be totally discreet.&quot;<br/><br/>]]></description>

<!--StartFragment-->Episode Fifty Two: &quot;Before they could stand together, they had to stand alone.&quot;<br/><br/>In this massive episode, we talk about John Hughes, and the impact he had on our lives. After that, we discuss some recently seen movies and shows, followed by current events and some non sequitur stuff as well.<br/><br/>We open the show with the trailer for &quot;Some Kind of Wonderful,&quot; and fill the breaks with music from Hughes' films.<br/><br/>&quot;If You Leave&quot; - Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark<br/>&quot;Pretty in Pink&quot; - The Psychedelic Furs<br/>&quot;Don't You (Forget About Me)&quot; - Simple Minds<br/>&quot;Oh Yeah&quot; - Yello<br/>&quot;Weird Science&quot; - Oingo Boingo<br/><br/>Thanks to all of our new listeners and all of the mail we have received. We are fast approaching our 1 year anniversary and you have all helped make the show what it is today!<br/><br/>Call us at 206-338-3094<br/>areyouseriouspodcast@gmail.com<br/><br/>Below, are the quotes that I found regarding John Hughes.<br type="_moz"/><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><br/></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Molly Ringwald: &quot;I was
stunned and incredibly sad to hear about the death of John Hughes. He was and
will always be such an important part of my life. He will be missed â by me and
by everyone that he has touched. My heart and all my thoughts are with his
family now.&quot;</span></p>


<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->&nbsp;<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p>


<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Macauley Culkin: &quot;I was a
fan of both his work and a fan of him as a person. The world has lost not only
a quintessential filmmaker whose influence will be felt for generations, but a
great and decent man.&quot;<o:p></o:p></span></p>


<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->&nbsp;<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p>


<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Matthew Broderick: &quot;I am
truly shocked and saddened by the news about my old friend John Hughes. He was
a wonderful, very talented guy and my heart goes out to his family.&quot;<o:p></o:p></span></p>


<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->&nbsp;<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p>


<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Steve Martin: &quot;I asked
John how long it took to write 'Planes, Trains &amp; Automobiles,' he said, 'I
wrote it over the weekend.' The weekend. That shows you what he was able to
do.&quot;<o:p></o:p></span></p>


<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->&nbsp;<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p>


<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Judd Apatow: &quot;I feel like
a part of my childhood has died. Nobody made me laugh harder or more often than
John Hughes.&quot;<o:p></o:p></span></p>


<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->&nbsp;<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p>


<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Roger Ebert: &quot;His films
helped establish an international notion of ordinary American teenagers, and he
was as popular abroad as at home. Once when I was visiting the largest movie
theater in Calcutta, I asked if 'Star Wars' had been their most successful
American film. No, I was told, it was 'Baby's Day Out,' a Hughes comedy about a
baby wandering through a big city, which played for more than a year.&quot;<o:p></o:p></span></p>


<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->&nbsp;<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p>


<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Kelly LeBrock: &quot;He was
always the biggest kid in the room. He was always running around with high top
sneakers with no laces in them because he didn't want to trip on his laces
because he'd never tie them. He was just one of the boys and everybody loved
being around him. He was a wonderful human being to work with. I loved him like
crazy.&quot;<o:p></o:p></span></p>


<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->&nbsp;<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p>


<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Bill Paxton: &quot;He took a
tremendous chance on me. Like Orson Welles, he was a boy wonder, a director's
director, a writer's writer, a filmmaker's filmmaker. He was one of the
giants.&quot;<o:p></o:p></span></p>


<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->&nbsp;<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></p>


<span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Times;">Ben
Stein: &quot;He was a wonderful man, a genius, a poet. I don't think anyone has
come close to him as being the poet of the youth of America in the postwar period.
He was to them what Shakespeare was to the Elizabethan Age.&quot;<br/><br/><br type="_moz"/></span><!--EndFragment-->

<description><![CDATA[Episode Thirty Eight: &quot;His high exaltedness, the Great Jabba the Hutt, has decreed that you are to be terminated immediately.&quot;<br/><br/>Here
we have episode thirty eight, in all of it's overblown, bloated,
narcissistic glory!&nbsp; We have an extra segment somehow in this episode
and the runtime is (in Frank's opinion) &quot;a little long.&quot;<br/><br/>TOO
BAD!! Apparently, we had a whole lot to say this week. The reigns are
off and we can talk about the worst run theater in all of New England.
This is the show I've been waiting for. It didn't have all of the venom
and vitriol that I wanted to include, but, you have to save some for
later!<br/><br/>Music this week is from <br/>Rob Zombie - &quot;I'm Your Boogie Man&quot;<br/>Simple Minds - &quot;Don't You (Forget About Me)&quot;<br/>Ugly Kid Joe - &quot;Everything About You&quot;<br/>Guns N Roses - &quot;My Michelle&quot;<br/><br/>Thanks everyone for following our escapades! We are still having a lot of fun doing the show and appreciate your support!<br/><br/>Call us at 206-338-3094<br/>or e-mail us at<br/>areyouseriouspodcast@gmail.com<br/><br/>Till next week!<br/>]]></description>
