Podcast 53: Sick Conversation

Direct MP3 DownloadIt was a bit of a miracle that we even had a podcast this week because Joey was sick. But we pumped him full of medication and just plowed right through everything.

    Principles of an American Life: The 3rd Amendment

Podcast 52: A Shrine to Sandra Day O'Connor

Direct MP3 DownloadWe had high hopes for being able to record all 4 episodes this week, but the first one took us nearly 2 hours. So our verboseness is your gain because we have another podcast that is under 2 hours!! The reason it went so long is because we had a great time discussing the 2nd Amendment and the Right to Privacy. My Friend Jon Madsen joined us to help round out the discussion. This podcast covers the episode 9 of The West Wing, Season 1.

Various topics discussed in this podcast include:
    Principles of an American Life: The 2nd Amendment
    Joey is ok with citizens owning rocket launchers
    Joey worships Sandra Day Oconner
    MFJM is True Neutral
    The Circle 8 blog
    Is there a Right to Privacy?
    Joey and I are too afraid to look up information on child pornography
    Jephthah
    Josh Woodward's track Morning Blue

Podcast Movie Special: Star Trek II The Wrath of Kahn

Direct MP3 DownloadWhat can you say about the Wrath of Kahn that hasn't been said so many times by other people? Probably nothing, but I think we found a few new things anyway. This is a much better ST movie than The Motion Picture, and Joey was not pissed at me this time. My Friend Jon Madsen came along to lend a proper TOS point of view, so our special thanks to him, and Aaron, who also joined us to share his demented view of life. As with any movie there are inconsistencies, but by and large this really is a good movie.

Various topics discussed in this podcast include:
    Kobayashi Maru - The No Win Situation
    My Friend Jon Madsen's Wrath of Kahn podcast
    Watch out for alien creatures in your ear!
    Kahn = Captain Ahab
    Aaron's unhealthy obsession with Ridley Scott
    The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.
    Scotty has no idea where sickbay is.
    I Fight Dragons concert tour
