Back again.

You know, I used to listen to talk radio, to Rush or Hannity or the local/national sports talk guys and think “How the hell can they do that? How can they sit and talk for 3 or 4 hours? No way I could do that.”

Uh huh. And now here Alex and I are turning in roughly 2 hour podcasts. No commercials. No callers. No nothing. Just the two of us talking for 2 hours straight. *shakes head*

To start with, an apology. The quality of the audio…it just isn’t very good this week. It was all over the place while we were recording and any attempt I made after the fact didn’t much help. Sincerest apologies my friends. Hopefully next week will be better.

So what are we talking about this week? Well we start by continuing something I really like and that’s just talking about what’s happening personally. All too often we get caught up in the macro of our world and we forget about the micro. We forget about the personal. So AtC and I spend a bit of time just chatting. Then we get into the politics.

We really focused on just two topics this week: Rep Massey of Kentucky and Hillary. We, of course, expand from there, but they’re the starting points.

It’s stunning really. Alex and I are two, in our opinion, reasonably intelligent, successful and functioning adults and yet, we can’t keep track of our time. Both of us agreed that this week’s recording would have to be shorter because we didn’t have a ton of time.

So naturally the podcast went two hours. Amazing.

This week we spend a decent bit of time at the beginning just chatting about what’s going on in our lives, the good stuff, the fun stuff. From there we move into what we’ve kind of dubbed as the “Tyranny of Bureaucracy”, followed by brief laughter at Earth Day and then, of course, books.

Hope you folks are enjoying listening as much as we’re enjoying recording.

So. So….we set out with the idea of shortening up the Podcast.

We managed a whole 15 minutes.

But hey, we’re still having fun and hopefully you are too.

This time around we talked coffee, firing people, Greenpeace, the Dem bench, Obama failings and, of course, books.

(Near the end of the podcast, as we’re discussing books, we had a tech glitch that I didn’t even realize until hours after we were done. I was giving my opinion on Faith of the Fallen and boom, several minutes of audio disappeared.)

Books

Hounded by Kevin Hearne

Vespers – Jeff Rovin

Shadow and Bone – Leigh Bargudo

Faith of the Fallen – Terry Goodkind

Faith of the Fallen is the 6th book of the Sword of Truth series. That series lasted for 11 books. The stories of the lead characters continues on in another set. There are 3 books (sometimes referred to as 12, 13 and 14) in that series so far.

Sword of Truth series

So, we failed. Utterly. Alex and I realized that the podcasts had been getting fairly lengthy, so we set out this week to curtail that…..and recorded the longest podcast so far.

*sigh*

I think Alex really is going to start setting a timer next week.

But as for this week, we talk Russia, Hillary’s flagrant lawlessness, Walker’s Ag Subsidy pandering, a new Crusade, reliance on govt, menstruating deer, Alex insulting me over my binary view of things, books and, of course, we wander about all over the place.

As always, hope you enjoy the content and thanks for sticking around.

Hello my friends, we meet again.

We are back this week and holy crap were we chatty. This week’s podcast ended up going 1 hour 45 minutes. Sheesh.

But as always we had fun yelling about the stuff that pisses us off. We discussed legitimate grievances, soon to be President Elect Walker, our imperial presidency and a few books. We also wandered a bit (a lot) within those subjects.

Hope you enjoy!

So after a week off, Alex and I are back. This week we discuss rape, forced insurance on college campuses, reality denial and a quick discussion at the end on books.
