Episode One Hundred Ten: "I don't think that's going to happen. I found out that I'm 110 volts and she's a 220."
To celebrate our two year anniversary, we debut a new segment. In conjunction with the season debut of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, we have decided to do episode commentaries starting with the first two episodes; Clone Cadets and ARC Troopers. While we are still working out the bugs inherent in doing something new, it was a lot of fun.
Also, we discuss some of the new television series set to debut this year. We reveal our choices for a new series to try out. We picked something that we thought the other might not normally try. Then we get into listener feedback and we talk about the direction of the show and how we could possibly open it up for a wider audience.
We leave the decision up to you, the listener. Let us know what you think on our forums at palavr.com. You can write to us at areyouseriouspodcast@gmail.com or call 206-338-3094
Episode One Hundred and Nine: "I was on the PT-109 with John F. Kennedy. We were the first to discover his horrible secret."This week, we wrap up the third season of True Blood with a spoiler filled review of the season finale. Bill betrays everyone, Jason get more than he bargained for, the Queen of Louisiana returns, Russell is dealt with, a hit is put out on Pam, Sam and Tommy finally come to blows, Jesus reveals his secret to Lafayette, Arlene avoids everyone while Terry is happier than he's ever been, Sookie tells everyone to leave her alone, Tara cuts her hair and leaves town and Eric wants his phone back.
After that, we talk a little bit about geocentrists. Those are people that still believe that the Sun revolves around the Earth. That's right, there are still people out there that think the Earth is the center of the universe. From there, we talk a little bit about how no Church in Belgium is free of child abuse allegations, and from there we discuss Irish Science Minister Lenihan and how his position on the importance of science can change while calling evolution a hoax. After that we talk a little about September 11th and some of the things that went through Chris' mind on that day regarding religion, the lives lost, and the usefulness of religion versus the harm it causes.
After that, we have feedback; we have one older voice mail that leads into another very well. Just when we thought we were done talking about our old place of employment, something else of colossal stupidity has to happen, and we will tell you about it! After that, Chris and Frank come to an agreement and that's a show!

This week, with no new television, we talk a bit about movies. Machete makes it's first appearance in the first segment and the conversation is pretty free flowing, from entertainment to our personal lives and back again.
In the next segments, we listen to some audio that was suggested to us, of course, it's Star Wars related. We click through a few other links, most notably why burning Quran's on 9/11 is a bad idea, not only for the people doing it, but also for our troops stationed in the Middle East.
After that, we explore our forum on palavr.com. We check out some of the links posted on our video forum and are surprised with the conspiracy theories one person has about the people behind Machete.
All in all, it's a pretty schizophrenic episode. With not too much happening in the last week, we make due with what we have.
Music this week is from:
Chris Bricklemyer - "Are You Serious? Theme v.1"
Ignite - "Bullets Included No Thought Required"
Gene Loves Jezebel - "Jealous"
Oingo Boingo - "Dead Man's Party"
