I asked Phil to let me try my hand at posting the announcement for Conversation #9 so I could satisfy my hunger to format things. The lack of bold print, italics and different-sized fonts in these announcements has been driving me crazy. This one is much shorter than the previous couple of episodes. It starts with mention of:
Angels, the Rainbow Bridge of Asgard, Valkyries, frost giants, quotation marks, irony, sarcasm, Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Batman #666, Grant Morrison, Batman Begins, the Batmobile, our friend Ching, blackface, Hansen, Burning Man, tall bikes and Phil's dad.
Before moving onto our main topics:
Listener Feedback including discussion of:
Punching yourself in the face, our friend Nick Galli, friends vs. strangers, Mister Rogers, talking about religion, cuss words, Overboard the movie, flipping off little kids, Eddie Murphy, Bill Cosby, Jake's grandma, Phil being a weak city-boy ninny, Jake being a rugged frontiersman, eating honey that has insects in it, our friend Joe Martin, making cornbread, Phil riding his bicycle across the USA, sleeping in a ditch, our friend Jon Phillips, big birds, Phil's sister, Ratatouille, capybara, Roc, Sinbad the Sailor, 1984 by George Orwell, pussy, ravens, coyotes, and featherless chickens.
Our First R-rated Movies including discussion of: Conan the Barbarian, Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, watching movies multiple times, masturbation, Jake's trip to New York, Jake's eating habits, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Beverly Hills Cops, Phil's mom, Martin Lawrence, hatefulness in comedians, evolution and Jake's mom.
Special thanks to Luke for the alligator graphic and to Pete G. for the sound engineering assistance.

Jake, I hate italics.
Phil, I hate Italians.
Sorry I couldn't do more to clean up the audio...I tried real good.
jake, i like your use of typography in the description to highlight the different segments of the episode. it looks nice and is easier to read/digest.
Jake, your arguments against vulgarity/etc in everyday speech is like listening to a surly 13 year old being told to go clean their room. You're basically telling Phil that "NO ONE IS THE BOSS OF ME! IT'S MY ROOM, DAD!". Cussing has its place, but when every other word is fuck/fuckin/fuck it only detracts from your rhetorical power, which is really what you want when arguing a point verbally. You fuckin fuck.
Ryan, I think it's time for you to have a kid.
A nutria or a capybara is the most likely equivalent to an emu that the rodent world has to offer, in my opinion. In addition, I am a separate anonymous than the anti-cusser. I'm backing Jake on this one.
Oops, I guess I jumped the gun. Phil just said what I was thinking, about the capybara. Nutrias are gross too.
*Are you guys trying to cut the time of your 'casts overall, or were you just in a time crunch for this one? Either way, I was totally engaged in Phil's story about his half-sister's wedding, and his and his full-sister's anthropological interest in it when Jake said, "We're at 19 minutes!"
*Both of you sounded like you were talking from inside an empty silo.
*The only word I take offense to is the word "cussing" itself. It sounds like what counselors at Christian daycamps tell the kids not to do. Cursing in general doesn't make people sound stupid--just less repressed.
*Did Jake quit smoking? He sounds mad.

Phil really wants to try to stick to a time limit, so I was trying to make sure we didn't talk for much more than an hour. I'm not into making such parameters, by the way.
*Both of you sounded like you were talking from inside an empty silo.
We were, and on different coasts.
*Cursing in general doesn't make people sound stupid--just less repressed.
Thank you.
*Did Jake quit smoking? He sounds mad.
Tomorrow's the day.

Tomorrow's the day. Worrying about time probably made me mad.
