Up in Smoke

BobG — Thu, 05 Apr 2007 06:39:04 +0000

How many times has the government been wrong? Right, like someone has a calculator that can count that high. There are so many fights going on in congress right now over ridiculous topics, even some arguments that are for good causes, like raising money for this sorry ass war we are in, where our president (he doesn’t deserve upper case) is more than willing to send our troops over to Iraq without body armor, or without armor on the vehicles our troops are driving through the IED’s like a slalom course. This is of course because we don’t have the money to get all these things for our troops, but I can guarantee you that all of our Congressmen and women and State Representatives are doing just fine on their “measly” salaries. It doesn’t make sense that we have people making the decisions for our troops that have never been in the military and they are shitting in marble toilets while the people who are fighting for their pampered asses are dug into a foxhole in the desert wondering if they will even get to see their families again. Obviously that will probably not change for a long time because our country is full of ignorant, stubborn assholes who don’t want anything to change for whatever reason it may be, whether it be not wanting to admit they were wrong or even just fear of change. Well there is a way for this government to make an abundance of cash in this country only they think they are doing us a favor by arresting non-violent offenders who smoke pot. If our government were to legalize pot, not only would it be a financial goldmine, but it would help to reduce the over crowding of our prison systems also. 55% of inmates in this country are non-violent drug offenders. The government is willing to sell you pills that you can easily overdose on, on average almost 1000 people a year are killed by aspirin. Not by taking aspirin and driving around or going out and hurting others, just by taking it. Do you know how many recorded deaths were caused by taking marijuana? 0. That isn’t just last year, that is ever. Here is a good article I wanted to share with everyone that gives great arguments for legalizing it. So read it and if it pisses you off everytime you see a press conference with our sorry excuse for a president making excuses about the cost of the war and how we are going to end up, as taxpayers, paying for it. Then write a letter to your Congressman or State Rep. and let them know you are more than willing to let marijuana be legalized. Even if you don’t use it, I am pretty sure most of you pay taxes and it would be good to see that money going to useful programs like health care and feeding the hungry in our own fucking country and not going to pay for Bush’s personal revenge plan. The money from the sale of legal marijuana could give our troops the necessary funding for proper protection and firearms so they can turn Iraq into the next Super Wal-Mart. (Covered Camel Parking right out front of course). Anyways, sorry to rant on about this but I am sick of seeing King George II ask for more taxpayers money while every company he has a hand in is profiting off of this war. Let me know what you think of this article in my shout box.

Traveshamockery at the Hidden House

BobG — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 23:42:33 +0000

Last Wednesday friends of the show, Male Pattern Radness, put on a great show at the Hidden House in downtown Phoenix. Even our Commander in Chief (and I use that term loosely) was there to take in the show and wolf down a $6 steak. He said he enjoys eating steak because it is the only time he gets to hear the phrase “Well Done“. After the show is when the bungling took place, a cardboard cutout of W wearing his favorite stocking cap with a pot leaf on it was stolen from The Hidden House in downtown Phoenix. If you or anyone you know has information on the whereabouts of G Dubya and his hat, please leave a comment. If you are the asshat that stole it, just know that we do not negotiate with terrorists and if we find out who you are our actions will be swift and decisive. (Make sure you click the pic of the Pres for a special video tribute)

Thanks to All

Thanks to all the people out there who listen and support the show. You guys (and girls)are the best audience out there and I feel pretty confident that, if it came to it, you guys could kick the other podcasting audiences asses in a fight. Not sure where that one came from. Sorry the pics for the Wack-a-Ganza took so long to get up. For your patience and undestanding I present to you a bonus PHOTW for your viewing pleasure. This is Erica Star of ericastar.com. I wasnâ€™t able to find out her measurements other than she has natural D-sized boobs, but you can plainly see that for yourself. If you find any nude shots of her send them my way. Thanks again.

The GDS…Feel good?

Well, thatâ€™s just about as much nonsense as we here at Goinâ€™ Deep can take. This small clip is a declaration of sorts to fight the pigeon-holing that seems to be going on in the podcast world. That is to say, just about every show out there being some kind of â€œgeekâ€ show.

Now donâ€™t get me wrong, Iâ€™m not saying I donâ€™t like geeks, itâ€™s just that some people are really taking the concept and making it the podcast equivalent of Paris Hiltonâ€¦you know, it was cute for about five minutes, but sooner or later we need some meat and potatoes. Thatâ€™s just the tip of things.

Also to be found between the iron crosshairs are some very flattering people out there who happen to be great artistsâ€¦rip-off artists, that is. These people must be the â€œcreative marketingâ€ types like the geniouses out there who think that â€œTrading Spousesâ€ is a completely new and different show than â€œWife Swapâ€.

The paralells between one show in particular and Goinâ€™ Deep are enough to make â€œwhatâ€™s on tapâ€ a god damn copyright infringement battle, if it was protected by international copyright, that is. Itâ€™s just too close, you know what Iâ€™m saying.

There are also some website(s) out there who would have us believe that the second-coming of radio is going to be some sort of show where we just sit around and listen to â€œordinary peopleâ€ talk about what ends up being the digital equivalent of what vegetable was in their shit this morning.

Nevertheless, this is not to be taken in a completely negative context. I am very grateful that we have a new media format to peddle our personalities, but I would just hate to see it fall victim to the same mediocrity and lack of imagination that has slain our conventional radio and television programing.

Now I know what some of you who read this and listen might be thinking, â€œyou can take the beligerent drunk out of the bar, butâ€¦â€ and you would not be too far off the mark. What I propose is simple: Letâ€™s take this technology and make it the Brazilian rainforest of radio, where thereâ€™s shit out there that hasnâ€™t even been discovered yet. Not like walking around in the suburbs where, except for different addresses, everything looks the same.
