Well…last week the show DIDN’T go on. Someone hit a tree down the road an hour before showtime, and my internet went down with the tree…so this is two weeks at once.
Enjoy…and when you travel…leave your Les Paul and antique Steinway at home.

Hello folks. Today should be a podcast day but I am still having issues on when to record the stupid thing so there will be no crying babies or kids shows in the background. I am still planning on doing podcasts hoping to attract some more readers/listeners to this site!
I want to take a short poll cuing off of Ralph’s Monday post. (check out this picture. I type in “Ralph’s” and I get Mick Ralphs from Mott the Hoople. Go figure.)
The poll is two fold and answered in comments. First, is anyone besides Ralph and Bob listening? let me know. Second, what would you like to be hearing from the podcast? Are there topics you would like to hear about? I am planning some interviews with interesting bloggers for the near future as well.
Just as an aside, a pop-up window just popped up and showed me possible matches from match.com. First of all, I have never even been to match.com so I know it is a random ad, right? Then how ‘come all of the “possible best matches” on there are GUYS???? I am not sure where they get their demographic information but I am ready to protest….
So that is all for today, at least right now. Go read something from the archives or head over to Bob’s site at Juicymaters.com, or even Ralphs site at ralphcarlsonblog.com. If you are really bored, head over to my site at justinsbrainpan.com. All of us have so much to write about that we have to spread it around. Like fertilizer.
Anyhow, please answer my questions to the best of your ability, your feedback will be invaluable to the future of the podcast. You canleave a comment or hit the email form over on the right, or click the email link under any of our names over there. Thanks in advance.

Well folks we have done it, we actually recorded an interview with Bob! We did record with video, but the video didn’t turn out very good. there is still a video but it is not live, unless you want to have an epileptic seizure. Let me know if you want the raw video, and get a pillow so you don’t hurt yourself during the seizure. So enjoy either in a static video or as an audio, both are downloadable! (It takes a minute for the video to load, please be patient!)

Well now, here are the notes and links of things that we talked about.
First, Bob’s sites: http://juicymaters.com and http://commonsenseconversation.com.
Next we talked about the Pioneer Woman’s site http://pioneerwoman.com
After that came Dr. WordPress, Dave Doolin. He has several sites but the one we talked about is at http://website-in-a-weekend.net It is a great site to learn about wordpress and getting your own blog set up.
Next we plug Ralph’s site: http://ralphcarlsonblog.com and Justin’s main site http://justinsbrainpan.com.
If you are interested in the book we talked about, Essential wisdom of the Founding Fathers, click our affiliate link *HERE* and then click this link: http://www.amazon.com/Essential-Wisdom-Founding-Fathers/dp/1435111494/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1310977614&sr=8-1. We may as well make a few cents if you go ahead and buy the book.
Warren G. Harding was mentioned as a president that Bob admires, *HERE* is the Wikipedia page. *Addendum* We were wrong. Warren G. Harding was president in 1920 but not the guy that Bob admires. The real admiree was Hardings Vice President and later President Calvin Coolidge. Click *HERE* for his wikipedia page.
If you want to know more about the No Fly List, you can click *HERE* for the Wikipedia page, or you can go to http://www.no-fly-list.com and see if you are on the list too.
The Constitution of the United States is one of the most important Documents that we have in this country. If you haven’t read it in a while, check it out: http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution.html While you are there Check out the Declaration of Independence as well, it is important. http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/declaration.html
This here is Bob’s Ford that I yanked off of one of his posts, not like it really matters, but I want to be thorough!
Bob has his Blubrry channel at http://www.blubrry.com/coffee_club/ but he would prefer you to listen at http://commonsenseconversation.com
Thanks for listening/watching, we will be having more interviews in the near future!
