"The Conversation" is a blog that discusses a podcast called, "The Conversation." The podcast is an unedited, yet sometimes mildly amusing talk between two friends who have absolutely no depth of knowledge in any topics whatsoever.Karl Baloneypantshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11992546522366537884noreply@blogger.comBlogger21125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5384987731010143318.post-70560007393760854732011-08-25T06:04:00.000-07:002011-08-25T06:20:54.640-07:002011 Summer Movie Blowout Spectacular-a-thon<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixlWn15N3nCidgwVQl-Th8puBIOjdOU_Y2DJPdNEj-paAOl17rhaUpOq2zPlPoryIvq5GElp9W323p1qbcX8wRBUi2tU6kTuWeL0utnl-1uZUHjB6Txdx33jcOApO-UoWlhCHXH5j-ShA/s1600/images-2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 189px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixlWn15N3nCidgwVQl-Th8puBIOjdOU_Y2DJPdNEj-paAOl17rhaUpOq2zPlPoryIvq5GElp9W323p1qbcX8wRBUi2tU6kTuWeL0utnl-1uZUHjB6Txdx33jcOApO-UoWlhCHXH5j-ShA/s320/images-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644781533548564194" border="0" /></a>Karl and Bob tell you what to think about this summer's movies. It's not pretty. See above.
<br />
<br />Actually, the movie represented by the poster above does not appear anywhere in this episode.
<br />This is because neither of us would ever set foot in a a theater showing a Michael Bay movie. Never. Is there anyone out there who honestly believes that the man could direct his way out of his mother's womb with some pitocin and a doula.
<br />
<br />Shudder.
<br />
<br />Anyway, give it a listen right <a href="http://the_conversation.podomatic.com/entry/index/2011-08-24T21_57_46-07_00">here</a>.

We here at The Conversation want to make sure our listening audience is aware of our dedication to the craft of podcasting and the strength of our convictions. So we need to make clear that Bob was, in very point of fact, unclothed during said podcast. He was nude. In the buff. Flapping in the breeze. Parading his ass cheeks. <br /><br />Above, we have a re-enactment of the recording. <br /><br />Please enjoy this week's episode.Bob Felcherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03230028581239208004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5384987731010143318.post-16157043687395576632010-02-08T19:18:00.000-08:002010-02-08T19:18:00.332-08:00How to Offend Christians<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPO_Q5fFjk80JXmg18bbML_vIagGMfY6bubwJ8pYJqyDKfel3L9L9IZt0l4AsnoSvTBe2DvDJhSTehwTxHascqdtXpAc-8-S2BeMcRDewB5qff8pHJQkAxtyevzS0Wi_FJhczZUqL2tZA/s1600-h/chadrickgayjesus.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPO_Q5fFjk80JXmg18bbML_vIagGMfY6bubwJ8pYJqyDKfel3L9L9IZt0l4AsnoSvTBe2DvDJhSTehwTxHascqdtXpAc-8-S2BeMcRDewB5qff8pHJQkAxtyevzS0Wi_FJhczZUqL2tZA/s320/chadrickgayjesus.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436038679454540834" border="0" /></a><br />On this week's The Conversation, Karl and Bob investigate the mysteries of the modern world. Why, for instance, would someone feel Sandra Bullock is worthy of an acting Oscar? How many mediocre singers does it take to re-record "We Are the World"? Who are these people who feel they can improve on Jane Austen? And when is okay or not okay to throw dog poop at Evangelical Christians?Bob Felcherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03230028581239208004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5384987731010143318.post-25947065125026991252010-01-21T19:53:00.000-08:002010-01-22T18:00:44.364-08:00Noooooooooo!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVxNEC47WM60u6id_6WEAeisUPRCu5W3gLi-1l-PnI3ruk_UA13tk1okHo1e0AzzbCv3d48MyHtPZs_r28gEIzGpaV18jhGBUj1ryQkb4Ui1qYrXX1muniBitU6mkPfkwdP35pDQHXGJo/s1600-h/Scott-Brown-new3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVxNEC47WM60u6id_6WEAeisUPRCu5W3gLi-1l-PnI3ruk_UA13tk1okHo1e0AzzbCv3d48MyHtPZs_r28gEIzGpaV18jhGBUj1ryQkb4Ui1qYrXX1muniBitU6mkPfkwdP35pDQHXGJo/s320/Scott-Brown-new3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429330642985042450" border="0" /></a>Dammit!

The tragedy! The triumph! The taint! (Or perineum, if you prefer.)<br /><br />How have Karl and Bob improved over the last year? Did Karl actually give into temptation and embrace man-on-sheep love-making? What kind of she-male craps out half-way through a marathon? Who will win the coveted Jagoff of the Year award? And just what does Manimal have to do with all this? (Nothing. Just wanted to work in a Manimal reference. By the way, NBC, if you need another hour of programming to replace the Jay Leno Wanks Himself Blind hour, I'm available to write a remake of Manimal for a whole new generation.)<br /><br />Give <a href="http://the_conversation.podomatic.com/entry/eg/2010-01-10T21_14_38-08_00">episode 20</a> a listen, you magnificent bastards!Bob Felcherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03230028581239208004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5384987731010143318.post-54500825945840494262010-01-05T15:15:00.001-08:002010-01-05T15:23:39.808-08:00Holy Steaming Turds!

That's pretty goddamn funny, people.<br /><br />So give a listen as Karl and Bob discuss the excitement and magic of Bob's 20 year high school reunion. If you thought you knew how amazing stories about a handful of graduates of a tiny rural midwestern high school could be, be prepared to have your expectations nearly approached!<br /><br />And...coming soon...brand new, somewhat more recently recorded episodes and...the long-promised Salute to Shitty Cinema!

This was a long, long time ago, people.</li><li>The mandatory afternoon meetings were often enlivened when the National Guard Band the American Legionnaires brought in would play the Official State Rock Song of the Great State of Ohio: <span style="font-style: italic;">Hang on Sloopy</span>. That's how goddamn boring the meetings were, folks.<br /></li><li>The boys of Buckeye Boys' State were so desperate for female companionship after a week of utter Sausage Fest that we used to sneak into the Bowling Green ice arena to watch the figure skaters practicing. This is really only remarkable because I'm talking about fully one third of the participants at B.B.S.<br /></li></ul>By the way, nobody there actually called it "B.B.S.", but typing out Buckeye Boys' State over and goddamn over gets tiring. Anyway, give it a listen. We talk about non-Boys' State-related stuff, too.Bob Felcherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03230028581239208004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5384987731010143318.post-30918320486684117502009-02-24T04:12:00.000-08:002009-02-24T04:22:21.787-08:00Oscar? I Don't Even Know 'Er!In this week's podcast, Keith and Joe go into some depth about just why this year's Oscar ceremony seems to have been scrapped from Satan's duodenum. Seriously, folks, the numbers appear to be up for this year's broadcast, but I'm of the opinion that everyone involved in the ceremony should be loaded onto a boat and then sunk. Baz Luhrmann should never be allowed to make another movie after the craptacular dance-straveganza he choreographed. This was twelve hours of my life I'll never get back. <br /><br />We also touch on movie sequels that sucked ass, TV show-based video games that suck ass and ex-girlfriends that make us so very glad we married who we married. <br /><br />So go <a href="http://the_conversation.podomatic.com/entry/eg/2009-02-23T22_12_16-08_00">give it a listen</a> and then come back here and tell us your choices for the absolute worst movie follow-ups of all time.

It's really special.<br /><br />The first topic is truly near and dear to my heart. In fact, I'd be delighted to hear what any of our listeners (we're going to go ahead and pretend that some exist) have to say on the subject of breakfast food. Favorites? Savory vs sweet?

Bob here. Just wanted to tell anyone who might have stumbled across this site (at this point, I doubt anyone is actively seeking us out) what's going on and why we haven't been heard from in so very, very long. <br /><br />Well, things have been a mite hectic for Karl and myself. <br /><br />Karl's dog has been ill. So he's spent a good deal of time looking after the poor critter. On top of that, he's been training--as was mentioned in a previous podcast--for a late-night marathon in Tromso, Norway. In fact, he's in Norway as I write this. <br /><br />And as for me, I'm not that busy, I'm just lame. <br /><br />Because of all this, the hectic schedules and the lameness, The Conversation has kind of taken a back-seat to the rest of our lives. <br /><br />Rest assured, though, we are simply on a hiatus. In fact, our long-awaited Salute to Shitty Cinema as been recorded and is simply awaiting some final edits from the busy, busy Karl. I promise you, we'll be back on our feet and spouting pointless nonsense that nobody wants to listen to before you know it. <br /><br />Meanwhile, here's hoping that you're enjoying your summer and spending as much time as possible not vomiting.Bob Felcherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03230028581239208004noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5384987731010143318.post-66801638550313050662008-05-16T09:33:00.000-07:002008-05-17T14:52:16.445-07:00We're Back!Hey folks, just when you were starting to give up hope; just when you were tying your rope in a noose to hang yourself; just when everything was looking at its bleakest, The Conversation is back to give your life new meaning!<br /><br />After a nearly six week hiatus during which Mr. Karl Baloneypants underwent the necessary surgery to transform him into Ms. Karen Baloneypants, The Conversation has returned.<br /><br />So click here or, if you're a click-o-phobe, find us at Podomatic.com or start up your iTunes and wait for us to drip like delicious filtered coffee onto your computer. Then, get ready to rock!<br /><br />(Actually, there's nothing particularly "rockin'" about this episode. It's more like smooth jazz or contemporary R&B.)Bob Felcherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03230028581239208004noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5384987731010143318.post-22979916847400652392008-03-20T16:16:00.000-07:002008-03-21T05:31:39.613-07:00Joan...Rivers?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWtn3rWiq1F9bHCPX3Mtxolp87lCYsBglJ_TRQ0OHpOuQ6mmdxDOSQt-nzjZVXRfLp995XY61TwO4wYy1EFxnT1FSCoSPyDX-_7lEOUK-bwPylZIIfB006k0FmWZVzcm9PY0OjhIxx8ug/s1600-h/Joan+Jett+1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 313px; height: 308px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWtn3rWiq1F9bHCPX3Mtxolp87lCYsBglJ_TRQ0OHpOuQ6mmdxDOSQt-nzjZVXRfLp995XY61TwO4wYy1EFxnT1FSCoSPyDX-_7lEOUK-bwPylZIIfB006k0FmWZVzcm9PY0OjhIxx8ug/s400/Joan+Jett+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179967210818988722" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlWFpGk1osCIvRPXXlp_mZxoxMKJJFhHmYjFrigtGUw-k0m2R_h_YYMbQYy5VMT3eL8Z_n5TdtmVDAOuWJq4Xp4srV-3_kQm-Sn-9cl8Qse4oQqaO4tmqLJZaKnI-u63DNfQets_agyEk/s1600-h/Joan+Jett+2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 321px; height: 376px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlWFpGk1osCIvRPXXlp_mZxoxMKJJFhHmYjFrigtGUw-k0m2R_h_YYMbQYy5VMT3eL8Z_n5TdtmVDAOuWJq4Xp4srV-3_kQm-Sn-9cl8Qse4oQqaO4tmqLJZaKnI-u63DNfQets_agyEk/s400/Joan+Jett+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179967386912647874" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Maybe it's just me.

Simply watch all four Shitty Movie selections (<span style="font-style: italic;">They Live</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Cliffhanger</span>, <span style="font-style: italic;">Road House</span> & <span style="font-style: italic;">Silverado</span>) and send us your feedback. <br /><br />Which movie makes the best use of shitty dialogue? Which features the hammiest acting? Which makes you want to shout to the tree-tops that you're enamored of reveling in utter shit and which makes you want to call up God and demand two hours of your life back? <br /><br />So get cracking, Convers-o-philes! Watch some utter crap and share your opinions. Because, at The Conversation, we really care what you think. <br /><br />Sorry, strike that.

Awards season comes to an exciting conclusion as The Conversation presents the First Annual Convy Awards!<br /><br />More star-studded than the Oscars! More relevant to the average American than the Grammys! Way, way butcher than the Tonys! It's like the Pullitzer Prize, if the Pullitzer people weren't a bunch of effete fucking douche-nuggets.<br /><br />So strap on your headphones and be prepared to be absolutely fucking amazed. (Or maybe just a little annoyed. There's a whole range of emotional responses to this, actually.)Bob Felcherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03230028581239208004noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5384987731010143318.post-56590882138718374422008-02-12T17:30:00.000-08:002008-02-12T18:13:55.628-08:00Episode 7 and Movie Minute Sketch are both up!Loads of new content as always here at The Conversation!<br />Bob and I cut this one early this week, as I'm heading OUT of beautiful downtown Cleveland for a little vacation in a couple of days.<br /><br />In the seventh episode, Bob and I tackle the week’s toughest issues, like how fast the revival of American Gladiators is decimating our country’s collective I.Q. Other topics include: Fun with Mike Tyson quotes, Postal Douchebaggery, Alpha Female Sitcoms, Listener Mail, and Super Tuesday: What next?<br /><br />Despite my vacation, though, stay tuned to The Conversation, as next week could be the biggest and best episode yet! We've got a HUGE extravaganza planned for Episode 8, but right now it's a big ol' super-secret. In a couple of days, though, we'll be teasing it right here, on the ONLY BLOG that follows the every move of our podcast!<br /><br />So get a-downloadin', and be sure to send us your feedback on this week's stuff!<br /><br />Thanks,<br />KarlKarl Baloneypantshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11992546522366537884noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5384987731010143318.post-30362661278507128312008-02-09T04:14:00.000-08:002008-02-09T04:25:19.533-08:00To Douche and Douche NotBob Felcher here. I'm the macho half of the Conversation team. Yeah, when I'm not having sexual intercourse with women, I'm engaging in "extreme" activities that enhance my standing among other males. So look out! You never know when I might do something that's just really, really manly. <br /><br />Anyway, I thought I'd take a moment to let both of our listeners know that, from time to time, we're going to take advantage of this here "weblog" you're looking at to post the occasional bit of bonus material that relates in some clever way to our show. <br /><br />For instance, if we were to do a show in which we mentioned my astonishing sexual prowess, we might then post pictures of me engaging in sexual congress with one of the many, many ladies with whom I do that sort of thing. Because I'm so macho. Just as an example. <br /><br />Today, though, I thought I'd treat everyone to the full, extended, director's cut list of movie titles from our Douchetacular. If you remember, which you most likely don't, we only got the time to go through five or six on the air. That's mostly because Karl couldn't come up with anymore, as he doesn't have as much testosterone as me. <br /><br />So here, then, is my list of Douche Movies. I'm macho. <br /> <p class="MsoNormal">The Douche and Mrs. Muir</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Doucheblanca</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The Douchefather</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Schindler’s Douche</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Douchin’ in the Rain</p> <p class="MsoNormal">It’s a Wonderful Douche</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The Douche on the River Kwai</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Some Like It Douched</p> <p class="MsoNormal">One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Douche</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The Douches of Wrath</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Douching Bull</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The Douchebag of the Sierra Madre</p> <p class="MsoNormal">To Douche a Mockingbird</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Douchebag Indemnity</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Douche by Douchewest</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Snow White and the Seven Douchebags</p> <p class="MsoNormal">From Douche to Eternity</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Douchedeus</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The Sound of Douching</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Douches With Wolves</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The Douche Hunter</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Guess Who’s Coming to Douche</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Sophie’s Douche</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Douche the Right Thing</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The Man Who Douched Liberty Valance</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Douche, Book and Candle</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Live and Let Douche</p> <p class="MsoNormal">You Only Douche Twice</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Douchebags Are Forever</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Thunderdouche</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Douchefinger</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Douchebag</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Harry Potter and the Douchebag of Secrets</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Douchekaban</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Harry Potter and the Goblet of Vinegar and Water</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Harry Potter and the Order of the Douchebag</p>Bob Felcherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03230028581239208004noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5384987731010143318.post-63370596455010051732008-02-08T22:09:00.000-08:002008-02-08T22:14:38.020-08:00"The Conversation" takes iTunes by emm effing STORM!Your favorite podcast and mine has gone "legit!" Bob and I are now officially listed in iTunes Music Store, in the Podcasts section, pigeonholed in the Politics & News category. Now, if you've listened to our shows, you'll know that we're way more diverse than that, but hey, iTunes needs some kind of category from us, so what can you do?<br /><br />If any of you faithful listeners would like to be the first to write an iTunes review (keep it truthful), we'd certainly appreciate it!<br /><br />Legions of listeners are just around the corner!<br /><br />Viva la conversacion!<br />KarlKarl Baloneypantshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11992546522366537884noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5384987731010143318.post-67007422169686343762008-02-08T17:16:00.000-08:002008-02-08T17:19:07.518-08:00Welcome to "The Conversation!"This blog is a newly-minted supplement to the world-famous podcast, "The Conversation, with Bob Felcher and Karl Baloneypants."
