Conservative Infidel

Crashing the planes of intellectuality into your Twin Towers of ignorance.

I'm back, and this time I have a very special guest on the mic.
My best buddy of 14 years joins me to discuss some....
well, personal reminiscence that will probably mean a whole
lotta nothin' to anyone but us.  But we enjoy ourselves and
have some laughs.  And strangely enough, a hardcore
Republican and a bleeding-heart Democrat manage to avoid
political discussion altogether.

Topics covered include Strip Clubs, Kennedy Space Center
Tourbus Drivers, McNugging, and Human Eggs Benedict.

Now, if that's not enough to whet your ear, I can't imagine what is.

intro: Gallows - In the Belly of a Shark
outro: The Prodgy & Oasis - Shootdown

While this picture is undeniably hilarious, my honest answer to the question would be "neither."
But especially not ol' Catch-like-a-Girl Kerry.

Two months in the making, Conservative Infidel is back with Episode 014.
My topics this time include:

Halo = GoldenEye II
Rock Band = high school Guitar Hero
Welfare = bullshit
Liberals = brainless

intro: Junkie XL - More
outro: Benny Benassi vs. Public Enemy - Bring the Noise

I'm back -- believe it or not -- with another episode of Conservative Infidel.  And for the first time in many months, I'm joined by my beautiful and perpetually perturbed sidekick, Amy.  Our topics get back to the political realm this round, and I can only assume we'll be as offensive as ever to the lefties out there.

1. Women shouldn't be allowed to drive.
2. Criminals can't be rehabilitated.
3. Welfare and universal healthcare are the two worst ideas in the history of civilization.

Enjoy.

intro: The Police - Synchronicity II
outro: Chris Lake & Emma Hewitt - Carry Me Away

Yes, that's right.  Episode 012 is here... after a LONG wait.

Short one this time, mostly thanks to GarageBand.  Fucking stupid program.  Before it decided to erase the second half of the show, I managed to chat a little about my absence, as well as the Guitar Hero vs. Rock Band debate.  More to come soon.  Promi... nah, I don't promise.

intro: Extreme - Play With Me
outro: Winger - Seventeen

Yes, I have been absent from the podcasting world for a long time, but no, I haven't given up on the dream.  I'll fall back on my usual lineup of excuses, like not enough time, nothing to talk about, etc - because they're all true.  But, I'm adding a new one to the list: it's too fucking hot.

This house has the ventilation and insulation quality of a sauna, and it's too miserable to even sleep or walk around, let alone podcast.  So maybe if the temperature in the hallway falls below 90 degrees (not kidding), I'll throw together a quickie.  But until then, it ain't gonna happen.

In other news, E3 started yesterday, with Microsoft's event.  I'm not even slightly interested in the Xbox, and couldn't care less about playing online.  Not to mention that half of their "big game" lineup consists of war games, mech games, and shooters.  Crap, crap, and crap.

The best part of the show was when they demo'd Rock Band.  I should start off by saying that the game barely interests me.  I'm much more into Guitar Hero, and will stick with that franchise as long as it's around.  But after seeing the demonstration last night, it's even more solidified in my mind that Rock Band is a complete clusterfuck.  It sounds like a shitty high school band, with the vocals muddying up the guitar, and the drums muddying up the whole operation.  It's WAY too busy, WAY too complicated and messy, and of course, WAY too expensive.  Total botch.

I don't have much else in store right now, but keep your eyes out for a show in the near future.  Actually, who am I kidding?  No one's reading this.

I'm sure you can't believe your eyes.  Two episodes in as many weeks.  It's borderline unheard of around these parts.  But it's true.  Episode 011 is right on the heels of Episode 010, and I flip the script back to the political tip.

In this half-hour show, I make what is probably my most bold statement to date on Conservative Infidel, but it's about time I get it out there.  My hope is that the content sparks another flood of feedback, as my recent blogisodes haven't been garnering much attention.

intro: Hybrid - I'm Still Awake (Grayarea Remix)
outro: Muse - Knights of Cydonia

I'm getting worse and worse at releasing these with any sort of regularity, but I'll try to be a little more consistent.  Episode 010 is blogtastic in nature, and I actually manage to not even mention politics whatsoever.

Movies, Guitar Hero, and the return of the Lost Interview segment.

Nothing particularly substantial here, but I haven't done a show in three weeks, so I was long overdue.  Sorry to Adam and Mitch, whose comments I didn't see until after I recorded this episode.  I do appreciate the feedback.

intro: Vigi & Nectarios - Phoenix
outro: Doves - Break Me Gently (Hybrid Remix)

Episode 009 covers only a few topics, but I manage to stretch them into one of the longest shows yet.  Listen as I regail you with stories about stupid Chinese high school students and even stupider forum kids.  Marvel at my Top Three, and please write in with your own contributions to the subject.  And of course, bask in my geekdom through the gaming talk.

Hopefully the content is a little stronger than it was in 008.

intro: DragonForce - Operation Ground and Pound
outro: DragonForce - Through the Fire and the Flames

It's been almost three weeks since the last episode, so this is long overdue.  Back to the non-political schtick, so this probably won't rile anyone up, but hopefully it's still somewhat engaging.

Why haven't I been podcasting?  Well, there are a lot of reasons, and I try my best to explain what they are in Episode 008.  Everything from videogames to The Wonder Years has been consuming my free time lately, but I'm going to attempt to get back to my regular schedule.

intro: Hybrid - Untitled
outro: PQM - You Are Sleeping

Much to many folks' dismay, the James Bond episode takes another dip in the race pool.  Sparked by the comments we received concerning our last show, I try to further explain my stance on racism in America and clear up some of the confusion that surrounds my attitudes toward illegal immigration.

Get your pens ready, because there's a quiz in this episode, and if you can't be bothered with writing your answers to the questions contained thereon, you can at least jot down some hate mail.  After all, since I'm a white guy and not an unfunny hispanic stand-up comedian, everything I say is bigotry-laced hogwash.

intro: Armin van Buuren - Wall of Sound (Airbase Mix)
outro: Jay-Z vs. The Verve - Dirt Off Your Symphony

Episode 006 delves back into political territory as Amy joins me on the mic.  This time we tackle the issue of illegal immigration and why we think it's absurd that so many stupid Americans are fighting for the rights of people who shouldn't even be here.  I know some friends of friends who actually attended protests of our country's policy on the subject last year, so hopefully we manage to strike up some interest in the debate with this initial discussion.

Also in this episode, we break the news of our upcoming summer escapade, Chatting About LOST With Someone Who's Never Seen It makes a brief comeback, and we introduce a new segment: Amy's Blood Boiler.

As always, feedback of both argumentative and supportive natures are encouraged, and the next show will feature as many of your comments as possible to open the topic even wider.

intro: Infusion - Better World
outro: Visual Audio Sensory Theater - Pretty When You Cry

My short hiatus is over, and I'm back with Episode 005.  Not a whole lot of stuff to cover, but enough to fill a half hour.

I managed to score an exclusive interview with Mr. John Locke, and hope you enjoy our little conversation.  I also discuss my disdain with PennDOT, another female anomaly, Part II of the college roommate saga, a recent news story, and my bonechilling fear of puppets.

Thanks to everyone for the continued feedback.

intro: Phynn - Close Encounter
outro: Doves - Pounding

I'm on my own this time, back to the audioblog format, but Episode 004 still has the potential to offend.  Why?  Because the topic is Girls.

I explore an all-too-common phenomenon that affects the ladies, I run through a controversial Top Three, and I wander into yellow territory with a college story that is sure to disgust.

Special thanks to Bill, Wendi, and Angie for their emails regarding Episodes 002 and 003, and I look forward to everyone's haterade-flavored feedback concerning this new show.

intro: The Prodigy - Girls
outro: Holden & Thompson - Nothing

Conservative Infidel is back with a vengeance.  The longest running episode yet, 003 features a virtual cornucopia of controversial commentary.  I'm running solo for the first half of the show, but FINALLY, the Amy debut has arrived, along with a hurricane of angst and swear words.

The emails I received from Zach, Terrance, & Melissa are rebutted, and I explain that even though they all made valid points in illustrating their points of view, I ain't buyin' what they're sellin'.  But honestly, the input was phenomenal.

Recorded on a Thursday, the return of LOST talk will delight many of you who listened to Episode 001.  I'm also proud to announce the introduction of a brand new segment -- not only on Conservative Infidel, but on the internet at large: Chatting About LOST With Someone Who's Never Seen It.

As always, feedback is encouraged, but not to my other damn accounts.

intro: Marc Marberg - Guarana
outro: Tiesto - Olympic Flame

Episode 002 is here -- albeit a little later than planned -- but I'm still flying solo, as the ladyfriend has been grounded by the flu.

This time, however, I try to give the fans what they've been clamoring for since the debut, and shoot the crap political-style.  Things get a little heated toward the arse-end of the show, but I took some deep breaths and I've calmed down now.

Thanks to everyone who emailed and commented on the first episode.  When I get some more feedback (especially regarding 002), I plan to read some messages on air.

intro: Lamb of God - Laid to Rest
outro: Junkie XL - Broken

The original version of Episode 001 was pathetic. It was like a grown man driving a minivan. Perhaps one day, some of that content will be released -- as a bit of a folly -- but for now, here's the replacement.

This brief inaugural episode tries to explain the two formats the show will eventually follow, and introduces the new listener to just who the eff I am. A couple topics have their time in the sun, and I remember this time to give out my contact information.

Thanks to Byll, Brett, Terrance and Coleman for your help and your input. Hopefully this foray hits the mark a little more strongly than my first attempt and avoids the "scripted" sound.
