To celebrate Chris’ birthday we have decided to watch one of the most disturbing documentaries ever filmed; “Jesus Camp.”

Some trivia that you might find interesting:In November 2006, a male prostitute alleged that pastor Ted Haggard (president of the National Association of Evangelicals) had paid him for sex for three years and had also purchased and used crystal methamphetamine. Haggard acknowledged some of the allegations and was removed from all of his leadership positions in religious organizations, including the church he founded.

Since the making of the film, Becky Fischer, children’s pastor for Kids on Fire, announced that due to negative reactions to the camp after the film, including telephone calls and vandalism, the camp, which was held once a year for three weeks, has been discontinued indefinitely and will be replaced by other events.

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 will update the show notes tomorrow, because I want to give credit, but suffice to say for now, thank you. It was very humbling and greatly appreciated.

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.

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!

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.

This week, per special request, we talk about the terrible things the Kansas government is trying to do to the three remaining clinics that perform abortions. This will be a story that we will surely revisit. We also discuss Casey Anthony a tiny bit (as much as she deserves) and then we keep moving from one story to another. Check out the links below.

New Kansas law threatens abortion rights.

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”

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 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.

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:

A dozen of Newt Gingrich’s staff walks out on him.

Why Gingrich’s staff left.

Disney pays a fortune for “The Next Star Wars.”

NBC tried to scuttle the Dungeons and Dragons episode of “Community.”

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”

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.

Music this week is from:

Chris Brickelmyer - “Are You Serious Theme V.6″

Duran Duran - “Ordinary World”

This week, we have a shorter show for you, because we have to get everything in line for the rapture on Saturday. So, with that in mind, we cover a bunch of entertainment this week, from the Star Wars paintball episode of Community to Thor.

Unfortunately, due to time constraints, we missed a bunch of topics that we would have normall discussed, like Arnold’s family revalation, the erasing of Hillary Clinton in a certain newspaper, the 10 year old that shot his neo-Nazi father dead while he slept. You know, the funny stuff.

We still hit a bunch of news stories that we hope you will find entertaining. Then it’s followed up with some great feedback and a segment from Reverend Scott that is sure to go down in history.

In this episode, Chris is still recovering from whatever alien sickness he had (sorry about the coughing.) We discuss some of the recent episodes of T.V, like Community, 30 Rock and Glee (grudgingly.) A few movies, like Trollhunter are discussed and other random entertainment tidbits. Then we move on to some news stories and in a quick segment, Chris talk about some of the things you don’t hear about when you get tattooed.

From there, we discuss the big news of the week. Osama bin Laden’s death. We talk about Seal Team 6, the compound and if it’s all right to be happy about the death of another human being.

This week, we have some conversation about raising pre-teen girls, and how frustrating it can be. We talk about the Office, 30 Rock and lament again about how good a show Glee could be if it just figured out which direction it wanted to go in. From there, we have the usual dumb news stories, some Tea-Party members that don’t get it and some other great listener submitted stories.

This week, we talk about the introduction of Will Ferrell on The Office, 30 Rock, Community, and all the usual suspects that we regularly watch. Oddly, there is also a bit of talk about how the female characters in Disney movies have evolved over the years from Snow White to Rapunzel in Tangled.

We then move on to the news stories from this week. From a reasonably sane teacher that cancelled a class, to the rantings of a possible presidential candidate, who’s celebrity endorsement starts this week’s show. We hit on a few more things, but what’s life without surprises?

This week, we talk about a whole host of stories, from what constitutes censorship, to Bill Cosby speaking his mind, to a sex doll lawsuit and finally to another scandal with a Church leader. As usual, we have the de rigueur non sequiturs and bull. So, sit back and enjoy the ride.

This week, we talk a bit about Black Swan and the dancing non-troversary, Chris teases a huge Big Bang Theory plot point from last night’s show. We talk about how when the director of a movie slams a similar ype of movie currently in release, it’s really petty and unprofessional. The looming U.S. government shutdown is discussed, Michael Savages firing, Glenn Becks imminent departure and a host of other topics are discussed. We top the show off with more campaign rhetoric from Rev. Scott, but not before the most well tought out rebuttal we have ever had on out show. The research links can be found below:

We start off talking about the movie “Mystery Team,” starring Donald Glover and a who’s who of sit-com cameos. From there we go on to talk about a bunch of the regular entertainment topics that we normally do.

After that, we start in on some listener submitted stories. As always, it’s infuriating and sad, with a little bit of funny. Sadly, not as much sandwich related violence this week. After the break we come back and go over some more news stories, most notably, how Michelle Bachmann  thinks that everyone should home school their kids. Dumb, or just totally out of touch? We explore all angles.

There is a lot more as well as listener feedback. I decided to wait on playing one audio clip that was sent to us. We didn’t get to it in the first half and I really want Frank’s reaction to it.

Music this week is from:

Chris Bricklemyer - “Are You Serious Theme V.2″

We also talk about Casey, the absolute bad ass kid that stood up to his bully and power slammed him into the ground so hard, the piece of crap bully could not walk straight. We have a few listener submitted stories, oddly enough, two focus on food and violence. We list off ten ways you might know if you are a tea-bagger and we cover a number of other topics, including why Battle: Los Angeles may or may not have the substance to go the distance.

And, how can we forget what Michelle Bachmann said about where the Revolutionary War started. Specifically, “The Shot Heard ‘Round the World.” You won’t believe your ears. I certainly didn’t.

We take some time to talk about some news stories, while avoiding Egypt, Wisconsin and Libya, because neither of us know enough to talk about it yet. We have some listener submitted stories, feedback and I just realized now, one voice mail that we forgot to play.

Reverend Scott amps up his slanderous campaign against the hosts and we have some things to say in our defense.

We follow that with some of the recent things we have watched, and then we talk about some things in real life, like creationism being taught in schools, the Egypt and Wisconsin demonstrations and how girls shouldn’t “dress like sluts.” (Not my words.)

We have some great listener feedback and suggested stories. Enough with the reading… get to listening!

Also, it may be time for another political rebuttal.

Don’t forget, we have an app in the iTunes store, and one coming soon for andriod.

Since we were hit with another snowstorm, in fact it’s what some people called a “snowbomb,” Frank discusses exactly why he hates the winter and what he would like to do to remedy the situation.

In our second segment, we get into what a lot of you are expecting we get to; the Arizona shooting. There are a lot of things said, some out of anger, some speculative, some good natured calling out, and some devil’s advocate. Gun regulation, responses, blame placing and national discourse are all discussed.

Of course, we aren’t going to leave you all angry without a way to vent. We end the show with some nonsense and weirdness from the net and our voice mail. The crowning achievement is an entry in our “radio series.” With a guest writer, star and foley artist, we humbly present “Scenes the way they should have happened!”

From Palin clubbing a dog (is that a real story?) to Michael steel citing Tolstoy but quoting Dickens, out loyal fans dredge up some of the dumbest things that happend recently and present them to us for dissection. We then take a couple of turns on Mental Floss’ Amazing Fact Generator. It should be fun.

Tucked in the middle of all this is a funny re-scripting of the conversation that Luke, Han and Ben had upon their exit from hyperspace headed toward Alderaan. We make this sort of like a live radio play, complete with music and sound effects. We hop you enjoy it!

And, what show would be complete without Reverand Scott’s voice mail? Well… we shall see. We recorded early and I’m not going to say if he got it to us in time.

This episode marks the last show we will put out in 2010. We mark this year-end milestone by… doing the exact same thing we do every week. Talk about some recently seen things; Black Swan, 8: A Mormon Proposition, Nightmares in Red, White and Blue, Police Academy 2 through 5 and some more random stuff.

From there, we move into news stories. Pedophile priests, Sarah Palin, word of the year, 50 proof God does not exist and Saturday hate mail from the Daily Kos all work their way into the conversation.

We talk a bit about winter weather, overprotective parents and restrooms, closing during snow emergencies, how poorly Cambridge cleared their sidewalks (today, they were fine, but yesterday…) and pretty much any random thought that popped into our heads. Like, iPhones, and what Chris really hates about Star Wars.

Stay tuned after the closing music for a real infomercial and a reply from Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth of Futurama fame.

This week, we have a very special episode for you. We talk a bit about movies and T.V. then we move to listener submitted news stories. These range from a man who wrote a “how-to” guide to pedophilia, the GOP blocking the child marriage prevention act, comedian Sarah Palin making fun of Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign, Karl Rove predicts Obama’s second term, then a racist hate group is planning on boycotting “Thor” because Idris Elba is a *gasp* black man!

Then, we have a special treat for you: all of Reverend Scott’s segments, back to back! This is all without us talking over him. Sit back and enjoy.

We discuss the Christmas episodes of Community, Glee, 30 Rock, and the Office, then we move in to a season wrap up of The Walking Dead and the most recent Big Bang Theory.

From there, we talk about bullying and how we think we can have our kids avoid it while not becoming bullys in the process. Then, we check out some interesting and sometimes terrible news stories.

We end with a little bit of typical ranting followed by some great feedback.

Music this week is from:

Chris Bricklemyer - “Are You Serious Theme V.1″

Trans-Siberian Orchestra - “Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24″

Bad religion - “Ad Hominem”

Faith No More - “I won’t Forget You”

Concrete Blonde - “Everybody Knows”

We have some listener submittes stories and articles that are really interesting. Thanks for suggesting them everybody! Then we talk a little about “The Ark Encounter” in of all places, Kentucky, near “The Creation Museum.” We answer a youtube video entitled “5 questions every intelligent atheist must answer.” Hosestly, they weren’t that hard to answer. We talk about a man that stockpiled weapons and REALLY listens to Glenn Beck. Then we talk about blowing things out of proportion with a Barbie doll that contains a camera.

There are some more surprises and fun stuff in store for you. Make sure you listen through to the end. There is a great clip (it’s a bit long, but worth it.)

Music this week is from:

Chris Bricklemyer - “Are You Serious Theme V.1″

AC/DC - “Mistress For Christmas”

After the Fire - “Der Kommissar”

The Ducky Boys - “Boston, USA”

Concrete Blonde - “Everybody Knows”

Next, we talk about some passages from “The Atheist Bible.” The title is a misnomer, as it contains the New Testament with a copious amount of bull si*t from Ray “Way of the Master” Comfort. We specifically address his chapter, “The Ten Most Common Mistakes Atheists Make.” From there, we move on to a whole bunch of quick hit news stories. Muslims want to execute a Christina woman, Bo Burmham sings a wonderfully dense and elaborate song, Fox cites The Onion as a credible source and many other crazy stories.

The most important segment of the show is reserved for some audio from a great man that we lost this week. Irvin Kershner, director of “The Empire Strikes Back,” died at the age of 87. He once said, “I think it went beyond ‘Star Wars’. You had some humor, you got to know the characters a little better. I saw it as the second movement in an opera. That’s why I wanted some of the things slower. And it ends in a way that you can’t wait to see or to hear the vivace, the allegretto. I didn’t have a climax at the end. I had an emotional climax.”

Music this week is from:

Chris Bricklemyer - “Are You Serious Theme V.1″

Daft Punk - “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger”

The Art of War - “I’ll Take You There”

Letters to Cleo - “Rim Shak”

Concrete Blonde - “Everybody Knows”

In the second segment, we talk about a little girl named Katie and the problems she has been having at school, all because of something she really likes.

From there, we talk about some recent developments in the Catholic Church and some other locations of incredible bad judgment. We also talk a bit about a new GOP house member that wants his free government health insurance NOW! And, don’t forget about Governor Jan Brewer and her new Arizona death panels for the poor on state insurance.

Music this week is from:

      Meanwhile, on Coruscant, Senators Lott Dod and Gume Saam conspire with Banking Clan representative Nix Card and Count Dooku to make the banking deregulation a reality. At Dooku’s command, General Grievous engineers an attack at the central power distribution grid on Coruscant, carried out by Separatist demolition droids. The chaos and panic spreads to the Senate, which vehemently rejects the Separatist peace initiative, and votes instead to deregulate the Banking Clan.

A chase through the swamps of Nal Hutta leads the pursuers to Ziro’s enormous mother, Mama the Hutt, who points them to the direction of Teth. It is here, in the secret grave of Ziro’s father, that the fugitive Hutt has hidden the diary. When he retrieves it, Snooty reveals her true spots. She’s a deadly woman scorned and a bounty hunter for hire. She kills Ziro, and returns the journal to her client: Jabba the Hutt.

Next up, we talk about all the stuff that was on T.V. while we were off. 30 Rock, Outsourced, Raising Hope, Community, Modern Family, The Big Bang Theory and just a little bit about The Walking Dead. We also talk about Megamind and Scott Pilgrim Versus the World.

From there, we delve into a bit of current events. Things like the GOP taking back the house and their plan (or lack thereof) is discussed. Chris reads an editorial from a Hawaiian newspaper and then we move on to absolutely great listener feedback.

From there, we move into what is usually our first segment. We talk about Glee, 30 Rock, Community, Outsourced, Big Bang and all the other usual shows. We talk about what we think will be the catalyst for Steve Carell’s character to leave the show. After all, doesn’t the guy deserve a good break finally?

After that, we move into some of the more ridiculous people that are running for office this year. People like Carl Paladino and Christine O’Donnell. These are people that will outlaw abortion, even in the case of rape or incest, remove amendments from the Constitution, and know nothing about how what they say will affect people in the long run. Be afraid, be very afraid and don’t vote for them.

We have what is most likely the best voice mail ever and then we end the show.

Music this week is from:

Chris Bricklemyer - Are You Serious? Theme V.1″

The Art of War - “A Small Victory”

The Art of War - “Stop!!”

The Art of War - “More of Me”

But first, we talk about what we’ve watched lately. Modern Family, 30 Rock Glee, et al, get quick mentions in a segment that is still pretty long. Frank talks about “The Social Network,” and Chris talks a little about the “Last Airbender” flick from Shamalan.

From there, we pull up some news stories and discuss those for a bit. Then we move into the hate mail for the Daily Kos.

There’s not much else to say, except, it’s foul, hateful mean spirited, There’s one part Chris wouldn’t read and words never used on the show are said. Multiple times.

Music this week is from:

Chris Bricklemyer - “Are You Serious Theme V.1″

Bad Religion - “Won’t Somebody”

Bad Religion - “Devil in Stitches”

Concrete Blonde - “Everybody Knows”

The Dickies - “Fan Mail”

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”

Concrete Blonde - “Everybody Knows”

Next, we move on to politics. What would it mean if the Bush tax cuts were kept in place for the richest 2% of people? How much of a budget shortfall would that cause, and how does John Boehner feel about it? From there we move on to a local hate-radio host and two of the lies he told in just 20 minutes of airtime. One is easily disputed and the second took a 45 second Google search to prove him wrong.

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!

Music this week is from:

Chris Bricklemyer - “Are You Serious Theme Version 1″

The Cramps - “Goo Goo Muck”

Skid Sow - “Sweet Little Sister”

Screaming Lord Sutch - “Jack the Ripper”

Concrete Blonde - “Everybody Knows”

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”

We get into a lengthy discussion of True Blood and try to predict where the series is going to end this season and where it will go in the future. We quickly review the Emmy winners from earlier in the week, offering comment as we go. Apparently, there is a re-make of “Arthur” in the works and we talk about some good news for Ghostbusters 3 (finally.)

Then we move on to real world topics. Starting with what is being reported as actual proof of clergy covering up the abuse of boys in a parish, we then move to the Moron on the Mall, Glenn Beck. He held his “Restore Honor” rally Sunday on the 47th anniversary of Dr. King’s amazing “I have a dream” speech. He held his rally on the same day in practically the same place. We delve into this topic and discuss Michelle Bachmann’s estimate of the crowd size, the actual crowd size, Beck’s (reportedly) wearing of a bullet-proof vest and Alveda King’s further disgrace as a cousin of MLK.

Following that aneurysm inducing subject, we temp fate by going even deeper and listen to some interviews conducted by “New Left Media,” as they interview some of the people that turned out for the rally. Have you heard FOX talking points? Do you want to hear them regurgitated in a less articulate manner? Do you then want to hear Chris and Frank yell at these people and prove them dead wrong? Then you’re in luck! That’s just what we do!

Follow that up with a temperamental voice mail service, (what do you expect? It’s free!) and that’s pretty much the whole show. Stick around after the outro to hear how the GOP seem to hate logic, reason, science and facts.

Check out the new community! Head over to palavr.com and get involved in the discussion. We have a lot of shows and very active forums. More great things are on their way, so get in early and watch it all happen!

 After the first break, we talk a bit about or best and worst jobs. Frank has a real interesting story about wrong place, wrong business and Chris talks about monotony and drinking on the job. For bests, we each give our own examples of why the job was the best we had. Of course present jobs are excluded.

Following the second break, we talk about our special appearance on The PodcastPodcast. Then, we delve into the crazy news of the week. We start off with a story about how Bill Murray is one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Next, we talk about the anger over Essence magazine hiring a WHITE fashion director. Next up, we have a clip of Representative Anthony Weiner and the passion he brings to he House. Then, we look into the right’s fabricated outrage over the cost of Chelsea Clinton’s wedding and one article talking about how disappointed one woman’s group is that she is marrying a *gasp* JEW! We also talk a bit about one of the best marriage proposals EVER!

Following the last break, we get into our feedback. We seem to have struck a nerve with the Ground Zero Mosque discussion. We talk about that and Chris makes a confession.

Music this week is from:

Chris Bricklemyer - “Are You Serious Theme v1″

Redd Kross - “Shonen Knife”

Prong - “Beg To Differ”

Richard Hell and the Viodoids - “Blank Generation”

Concrete Blonde - “Everybody Knows”

Topics for discussion this week include, B.P. and oil, Sarah Palin, religion, 3D porn movies and pregnancy, touchdown Jesus and the fire he helped spread. What constitutes an act of god and what if god was self loathing?

Of course, there are more crazy things to talk about, seeing as how all of the shows we watch have ended.

The original trilogy has had an noticeable impact and lasting effect on virtually every aspect of pop culture, from gaming, to literature, comic books, toys, art and music, fashion and charity drives. Rarely does a day go by without some Star Wars reference said on television, radio or in the movies. Truly, it is a cultural phenomenon and we attempt to pay tribute to that. In our own unique way. 

For more details and rare photos, check out www.areyouseriouspodcast.com

All music this week is from the original trilogy.
