  1. I didn’t like RWD’s bit this week. There wasn’t any “there” there. So a bunch of people who speak Spanish (or something) are crossing the border to find work, perhaps even in blogging. Nothing funny there. We expect better out of RWD!
    Loved having a teaser at the beginning. That was a nice touch. The intro was better with the little sound clips, but… Look. I know he’s going after the serious voiceover, trying to get a good deal of gravitas into the intro, etc, but although it was better, it was still too slow. The commercial voiceover was way too slow as well. Slow != authoritative.
    Harvey’s delivery was good on the 50 states, but I feel like I have trouble hearing him. It’s not a huge problem, but I have to boost the volume a bit on his parts. Does anyone else have this problem, or is there something up with my speakers maybe where the lower tones are weak?
    Anyway, thanks again for putting this out. Have a good week.

  2. Probably my fault for not getting close enough to the mike.
    Also, Scott was out of town and had to do a lot of production work on this week’s podcast on his laptop, so he may not have had the chance to equalize the volume across segments.
    I’ll bring that up at our discussion board & see if there’s something we can do to have a more consistent volume throughout.

  3. look at Harvey, acting like we care. 😉
    lionstone, ducky’s bit is funnier if your best friend in high school was mexican so you can actually understand what ducky’s translating. fortunately for frank, i was able to tell him (by substituting non-cuss-words, of course) what ducky was calling him. 😀 so now, ducky will just get empty burrito wrappers. poor ducky.

  4. Hmm, this one is definitely better than the third podcast (except for the Frank Knowledge part. Hehe, boxing a chimp.) yet there’s still something missing. I don’t know what it is. I mean, you guys really raised the bar when you made the second one. Seriously, the second one continues to blow all of the other ones away. In fact, it’s the podcast that’s made my mom into a fan (and she’s McCain moderate. Really, she bets millions that he’s going to be president).
    Well, first, the return of the background music for Harvey Fun Facts was a good improvement. I also liked the new Hate-Filled-Lefty skit. Another hilarious thing was the In My World.
    As for what didn’t work, I just thought that Sarahk reviewing Cat in the Hat just made her seem, well, less intelligent than we should give her credit. She is a lot smarter and should be reviewing bigger things, like, umm, one recommendation I have is the Sin City comic books (Lots of guns. A REAL LOT of guns.). Plus, you shouldn’t knock Dr. Seuss. If you look at his work besides his books, you’d find out that he was the original Cox & Forkum, only there’s only one of him. Really, he’s probably the first right-wing artist (although he did support FDR, who was left-wing, but FDR DID help us win WWII, so he does get lots of credit for that).
    The next thing is the interruption in the middle of the Harvey segment, although for some reason I actually didn’t mind and thought that it worked. So maybe you can keep that.
    However, the main problem was the Frank Discourse. Even though Sarahk is funny and it was a good discourse, the lack of anyone else really took away from the whole experience.
    Overall, here is a rating thing for them (be aware that the first Podcast was given a one because as the first one, it is somewhat of a base).
    Podcast one: 1
    Podcast two: 2
    Podcasst three: 1.5
    Podcast four: 1.75
    Now, what can be improved for the next podcast. Well, one obvious one is maybe to make sure that when you do the Discourse to make sure that at least, umm, 3 other bloggers (not counting FrankJ and SarahK) are able to join. Next could be a return of Spacemonkey.
    Now you guys go out there and continue making great podcasts.

  5. Funny stuff, Frank and Company.
    The Arkansas Fun Facts were a hoot!
    Hint to SarahK: Though I have never read any stories by Doctor Seuss. He was a veteran of the 101st Airborne in WWII.

  6. lionstone, ducky’s bit is funnier if your best friend in high school was mexican so you can actually understand what ducky’s translating.

    Thanks for the clarification SarahK. 🙂

  7. You know Lionstone. I worked off the assumption that people know the word “Pendejo” (which means idiot).
    In retrospect – I should have used the word “estupido” which would have been universally understood.
    BTW, when are you people going to learn SPANISH!!
    Get with the program, gringos.

  8. You know Lionstone. I worked off the assumption that people know the word “Pendejo” (which means idiot).

    You know I actually had three years of Spanish? 🙂
    My vocabulary, obviously, has shrunk quite a bit since then. Although it was a public school curriculum, so offensive words like “pendejo” wouldn’t have been on our vocabulary lists. 😉

  9. I am a Bad Example fan (and came here because Harvey said so long ago). I have a pod-cast as well and saw you on Pod-cast Alley… I said “HEY! I know these cats” and came to check out the cast. I was only going to listen to Harvey and FWD the rest (because I thought you were gonna suck)… I WAS WRONG!
    THIS IS THE BEST POD-CAST EVER! I now have to redo mine because it is me that sucks.
    SIGH
    DAMN YOU ALL FOR BEING SO GOOD. Bastar*s
    Love,
    Keeme

  10. clamors for more In My World style podcasts!
    Bush with the Koran was my favorite part,
    followed closely by Copernicus Dynamite.
    Rightwingduck sounds very North Dakotan for a Mexican and he’s much too likable to be a reporter.

  11. Frank, all kidding aside, you are really lucky to be engaged to a girl like Sarah.
    I can see that she is going to be a great mom, and one day an awesome grandma. Treat her right bro.

  12. Solid podcast. Harvey, I like your states thing, but it sounds like you’re just reading it off a piece of paper. Just trying to help…
    Also, Gunlord….don’t tell SarahK to read the Sin City books! Yes, there are a lot of guns but the content in those books isn’t anything SarahK is going to want to read. Now FrankJ, Harvey…you guys should read them, because they’re awesome

  13. Finally able to listen to the whole podcast! Yeah, it’s Friday night, sue me! That said,
    Sarahk was the star of this podcast. Any chance of more of her singing Frankj? I didn’t think so, just checking.
    OK, here we go,
    The audio is getting better every week! Now, topic by topic review….
    Frank Knowledge – uhh…..OK
    Harv’s Fun Facts – pretty good, would have been better without the interuption by that drooling lefty. Just my .02.
    Border Report – Hmm…..kind of funny but it’s lacking. Lacking what? I don’t really know, I can’t put my finger on it. It has potential though.
    Sarahk’s review – Well, it IS Sarahk so how can anyone say anything bad about it? Great!
    Bedtime stories – Well, uh, crappy is a good word. Sorry, it was partially humorous but it, like the border report, is lacking a tad bit.
    Frank Discourse – Well, it would be better if SOMEONE other than Frankj and Sarahk were involved. Then again, that’s just more time we get to hear Sarahk so I’m on the fence on this one! 🙂
    The Mailbag – Pretty hard to mess this one up. Very well done Frankj!
    All that said, the podcasts are getting better every week IMHO, or should I say IMAO? Yes Frankj, there are some of us who DO know what it means even when it’s not emblazoned on everything! 🙂
    Keep up the good work guys (and Sarahk)! I look forward to Mondays in a whole new light!
