This week, we talk about some of the new shows that premiered this week, then we get into news stories that we've been sitting on since we started the Star Wars commentaries. We talk about the Occupy Wall Street protests, what has happened to the GOP and the people that attend the debates. We have a little audio from Rush Limbaugh, remember him? Some religious stories and a story about President Obama's drunk driving Uncle, and a whole lot more. It should be interesting.

Episode One Hundred Sixty Two

Episode One Hundred Sixty Two: "OK, we're even. 3 years of this. I don't think I have many lines left."

Welcome to our three year anniversary (birthday) episode. We talk a little about how the show came to be, but the bulk of the episode is spent talking about one of our favorite thing. Coincidentally, some of those favorite things cause us to argue, a lot. We revisit a couple of the early episodes and discuss how one million moms can ruin everybody's fun.

I want to give credit, but that might ruin it, so suffice to say, thank you. It was very humbling and greatly appreciated.

Episode One Hundred Fifty Nine

Episode One Hundred Fifty Nine: "I told you she would never consciously betray the Rebellion."

This week Chris and Frank forgo the usual news, politics, religion and stupidity and offer up a change: running commentary for Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Why? Well, to be honest, why not? The commentary has some good parts, but there is a lot of name calling and crude words. So, pretty much par for the course, I guess. We hope you enjoy it. Next week, we will be tackling The Empire Strikes Back and the week after will be Return of the Jedi. Then the episode after, will feature a detailed review of the blu-ray releases.

Music this week is from:

Episode One Hundred Fifty Eight

Episode One Hundred Fifty Eight: "Oh they will know about it, Burke. From me. Just like they'll know that you were responsible for the deaths if 158 colonists here."

Question: Should everyone involved in the 9/11 attacks be labeled as heroes? There were heroes to be sure, but there were victims as well. Does calling everyone a hero lessen the impact of the word? Des is lessen the acts of those that ran in the buildings when others were running out? Does it elevate the victims to a level that maybe they shouldn't be at? Frank raises the question and it's not as easy an answer as you might think. Also, we start this episode with some real movie reviews, with grades and everything!

Father of the year locks his daughters in a room for 41 years.
9/11 documentary glorifies Bush, not concerned with facts.

Episode One Hundred Fifty Five

Episode One Hundred Fifty Five: "Quit butting in please. Your IQ is a mere 155 while mine is a muscular 170."

This week, we start the show talking about Harry Potter and Green Lantern. This leads nicely into our first story, Glenn Beck is OUTRAGAGED with the new mixed-race Spider-Man! OUTRAGED! Now, never mind that it in the Ultimate series and Peter Parker is still around in other books. Also, never mind that in 1992, there was a series called Spider-Man 2099 that featured a future web slinger by the name of Miguel O'Hara. This is apparently Michelle Obama's fault. Also, Glenn asserts that the new Spidey is probably gay too. How that matters, I have no idea, but consider the source.

Links for other stories covered are below.

There is ANOTHER Snow White movie in the works.

Pat Buchanan calls President Obama "Your boy" while speaking to Al Sharpton.

Michelle Bachmann and the crazy "Marriage vow" she signed.

Here are some awesome reviews for the King James version of the Bible on Amazon.

Frank's favorite story of the week, owner of killer bear chokes to death on sex toy.

Want to text in a theater, make sure you freak out appropriately when asked to stop.

Then, after you press charges on the woman that tapped you on the shoulder, make sure you give a crazy threat filled interview.

And, our top story:

Rep Steve King calls covering birth control pills "Orwellian."

Episode One Hundred Fifty

Episode One Hundred Fifty: "It can do a 150 pelvic thrusts a second."

This week, we have a revamped show. Last week was a turning point and we re-assessed our content and how we delivered it to you. We have decided to streamline the show and move the entertainment talk and limit it so we can focus on specific things instead of glossing over too many shows too fast. Here are link to this week's news stories:

Rick Santorum thinks liberals want to undermine faith with gay marriage.

Fox News doesn't report on historic New York gay marriage vote.

Michelle Bachmann's husband calls homosexuals, "Barbarians" and says more dumb things.

Tires of Chicago gay pride parade floats slashed. Why isn't this a hate crime again?

David Frum says he was wrong about gay marriage. Then he attacks Latinos. What?

Why was this guy allowed to fly dressed like this? Considering last week's story about the droopy drawers of an African American football player.

Or like this?

Or like this? Seriously?

Sorry, ma'am, that's policy. Take off your adult diaper.

Guess what still doesn't work? Abstinence only sex education.

Governor Rick Perry thinks it's God's plan to return the U.S.A. to Biblical principals.

Prince says he won't release any more music until internet piracy is taken care of. Thanks for playing, you had a good run.

In a follow up, we have another question for the Miss America delegates: Should math be taught in school?

In Ireland, a reality T.V. star used taxpayer money to vote for himself... and he won!

We end with a little talk about the True Blood season opener and some great feedback.

Music this week is from:

Rammstein - "Asche Zu Asche"

Siouxsie and the Banshees - "Turn to Stone"

Loreena McKennitt- "The Mummer's Dance"

Episode One Hundred Forty Nine

Episode One Hundred Forty Nine: "Aren't we told in Psalm 149 "Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song. Let them praise His name in the dance"?"

First, a word of warning, Frank was awake for almost 48 hours before we recorded this show, so he is not at the top of his game. Being the trooper that he is, he really tried to make the show as good as usual. He did a great job, but, as you'll hear as time goes on, he starts to fade.

We discuss a few things, nonsense and movies and the like, then we movie onto some audio clips. Miss America candidates answer if they think that evolution should be taught in school, is women's tennis suffering from the grunting, and other weird stuff.

Frank picks out an article from the many I have bookmarked and we talk about what is and isn't in the Bible. At this point, Frank is ready to pass out, so we move on to feedback and call it a show.

Here are some links to this week's stories:

Sarah Palin quits her bus tour halfway through

Texas Governor prepares "The Response."

Giant outdoor air conditioners are a "good idea."

Was Bristol Palin a victim of date rape, or is it image scrubbing?

Herman Cain says... something, I think.

Miss America contestants answer a question and we faceplam.

Links from our great ongoing illegal immigration discussion:

Deportation has increased in the Obama administration, with deportation of criminals increasing by 70%!

80% of farm workers in California are illegal immigrants.

Associated Press article from 2008 estimated that illegal immigrant tax-payers contributed $428 billion dollars to U.S. GDP in 2006.

Thanks to James from "The Art of War" for the new theme music, it will be evolving over the next several shows, as I try out new audio with it.

Music this week is from:

Weird Al Yankovic - "TMZ"

Gang Green - "Sold Out"

Sweet - "Ballroom Blitz"

Concrete Blonde - "Everybody Knows"

Episode One Hundred Forty Eight

Episode One Hundred Forty Eight: "You are in violation of Section 148 of the Penal Code: Evading arrest."

This week, we recorded late after many attempts to do the show earlier. It ended up that Frank was too busy editing the video he has been talking about, so we did this show with a special guest host. We start off by reviewing Kung Fu Panda 2, X-Men: First Class and the theatrical presentation of the extended cut of Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.

From there, we move on to some crazy news stories, including the FACT that becoming a Born Again Christian changes your DNA. For realisies.

Links to some of this week's stories:

DNA and religion - it changes it!

Saying "Twitter" and "Facebook" is not allowed on French T.V.

Mayor says, "Hey! Let's buy some land with taxpayer money and just give it to a Catholic School."

Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann on Good Morning America.

Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann lives in her own reality where women kidnap her in bathrooms.

Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann has said some crazy things, here's ten of them.

Divorced in Massachusetts? You may need a Judge's approval to have sex.

Chris Bricklemyer - "Are You Serious Theme V.7"

Bikini Kill - "Rebel Girl"

Powerman 5000 - "Action"

Episode One Hundred Forty Seven

Jun 10th, 2011 by areyouseriouspodcast

 

Episode One Hundred Forty Seven: "We'll continue this audit in my hotel room, Ritz-Carlton room 147. Meet me there tonight. And PS: I play rough."

It's that time of year again; the Apple keynote was a few days ago, and Frank is all excited about what's coming in the next few months. Chris is... not as impressed. Regardless, neither host had time to watch anything worth talking about this week, and Frank is really excited to discuss it.

Next, we have two segments of news stories that range from crazy to sad and pathetic all the way back to crazy again.

Here are links to most of the stories we covered:

Episode One Hundred Forty Five

Episode One Hundred Forty Five

May 27th, 2011 by areyouseriouspodcast

 

Episode One Hundred Forty Five: "The Chinese camps, we'll never know, but say 20 million. So 130, 145 million dead. Not all that impressive."

This week, we talk about the car accident Chris had on the highway two days prior to recording. Then we move into the regular stuff, like season finale episodes and some movie talk.

After that, we discuss what Harold Camping is doing now, why he should be prosecuted and whether or not he and his followers should be considered terrorists. Then we discuss the child whose parents have chosen to remain genderless, Obama following tradition and downing a pint of Guinness. We touch on Limbaugh's ratings and finish out with Chris complimenting a Republican. Seriously. And, it has nothing to do with the blow to the head from the car accident.

Here are some link to the stories discussed.

Sean Duffy will Eliminate Social Security and Medicare

Obama Downs Pint Of Guinness

Joe Walsh says Scott Brown Should Be "Ashamed of Himself"

Harold Camping's Followers are "Flabbergasted" the World Did Not End

Just when we are all set to go to listener feedback, Chris remembers a story from his local news that he just has to talk about.
 57 Minutes: Woman Claims to Have Been to Heaven and Back

Be sure to listen to feedback, we have more awesomeness on the line. Although, if I didn't know better, I could swear that Reverend Scott didn't like us very much. Take a listen and you be the judge.

Chris Brickelmyer - "Are You Serious Theme V.6"

Duran Duran - "Ordinary World"
