Episode One Hundred Eleven

Episode One Hundred Eleven: "It is 555 feet above the ground and 111 feet below the ground. 555 plus 111 is 666. 6-6-6, Poppy. 6-6-6"

In this week's episode, due to popular demand, we return to the norm. Entertainment, religion and politics.

In the first segment, we discuss a few new shows, including Raising Hope and Blue Bloods. Then we recap the season premiers for The Big Bang Theory, Glee, 30 Rock, The Office, Community,Modern Family and Outsourced. We try to keep it short, but there was a lot to cover.

Next, we move back into familiar territory. You see, not that long ago, Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) decided that he should visit the U.K. There was a huge outcry from the populace and many declared he should not visit at all. We discuss some of the issues that people have with the current leader of the religion. Then we get into some of the things he said during the visit and we discuss an experts rebuttal.

After that, we talk about the differences in the political parties and offer up some possible ways to improve how the government operates and how it doesn't.

Music this week is from

Chris Bricklemyer - "Are You Serious Theme V.1"

Soundgarden - "Jesus Christ Pose"

Jesus Jones - "Trust Me"

Camper Van Beethoven - "When I Win the Lottery"

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
