Hey, Dudes. The Righteous Dude here.
I've started a new Dudecast (that's a podcast by, for, and about Dudes).
It's about how to be a Dude of Faith. It is from a Christian perspective (because, that's my opinion, man). It's short, and it won't beat you over the head with anything.
Give it a listen, but keep in mind a few things:
It's new, so I'm still learning how to do all this electronic stuff.
It will get better, I promise.
Nobody is gonna get you down about anything.
I'm not proselytizing here, man. If you aren't a Christian, that's cool. If you are, you might find a little something that will, like, tie the two parts of your life together.
There's nothing reactionary, man. Just a dude talking about being a dude.
Here's the link:

Give me feedback, so I can make it better.
Abide, dudes.
You want me to give you notes?
Well, man, it's cool. Maybe a better microphone, it's a bit messy still.
Especially the part about 1.John, where God abides in us dudes, man! Did you ever preach in church? I did, and I'm gonna use these insights, man! Well, that's it, wraps her all up.
Take 'er easy dude.
Funny you mentioning the mic. It's one of the most Dude things I've got.
It's a working over the ear mic w/ ear bud.
Cost a whole dollar.
I thought recording in the Master closet with a $1 mic was very Dude, but, yeah, I do need a better one.
I tried dehissing the file, but it screwed up the acoustics of my voice. I know I just need more practice. Like I said, it will get better.
I already have an intro and outro, complete with The Righteous Dude's theme song (Creedence, of course). The next one will be up in a day or so. I'll post when it is.
As to giving me notes, I'll gladly take any advice on making the production better. I'm using a new netbook, but the mic is $1, the Audacity is free, as is the hosting. You can't get much less expensive, and The Mrs. Righteous Dude would freak out if I dropped too many clams, or whatever you call them, on equipment.
I definitely want your opinions on what I say. I could be wrong. But I am trying to be cool about all this and not be forceful. I know nothing of other faiths, so I can't comment on them, and am going to stay away from "The Plan of Salvation" in the dudecast. That's just too heavy, man.
Abide, dudes.
Well dude,
The only thing that was fucked was the sound, the rest was all fun! I can't wait till you made more, man! And anyway It was understandable, right? And a good mic isn't that expensive I think. I'm curious about the in en outro!
Let us know when you have a new episode ready, man!
Now take 'er easy!
Dude it's good. I know how difficult it is to step out and try this sort of thing.
i must say I'm a Dudeist Pagan myself. So I may not be listening to often.
I do find this sort of thing helps you question and define how and why you feel a particular faith is important to your self, and if it helps other thats all good too
I did like the copyright bit though.
well done for a first try. Keep going Dude.
Well, Dudecast #2 will be delayed until later this week. I was going to do it last night, but the couch was beckoning. So, couch+cold beverage+The Mrs. Righteous Dude+LOST=a relaxing evening.
And, tonight, a fellow Goldwing owner down the street has invited the two of us over for meatloaf and mashed potatoes (or potatos, or whatever).
That means, probably Thursday. That's the night my special lady is making cards for coworkers (and money), and I'll have the time.
I already have 2 episodes of show notes done, and 7 or 8 more in the works. None of it heavy, all flavored with a tiny bit of Creedence.
Thanks for the input, man, and I'll let you know.
Fucking A!
Episode 2 of the Dudecast is up!
Let me know what you dudes think!
Edit: Forgot to post the link:

I just listened to part 1. Thats a pisser, man.
What's a pisser dude?
The best part is where Satan pisses on Jobs rug, man! It's interesting man, it's interesting!
Episode 3 is up, dudes.

Please dude, Satan is not the preferred nomeclature. Inner earth american, please.
Part three is also nice. But what's jury duty dude?

Please dude, Satan is not the preferred nomeclature. Inner earth american, please.
Reminds me: "we're all living in America, America ist wunderbar"
I forget that not everyone on the list is in the USA.
In the USA, a jury is composed of the regular citizen. Thus, any qualified citizen may be called downtown to possibly be selected on either a criminal or civil jury.
That way, we aren't usually being judged by only one person. We have a criminal jury of 12 people, and a civil jury of either 6 or 12.
Normally, the county will reimburse the people called by a very little amount of money.
I was called downtown, but not selected for a jury. Had I been selected, there is no way to determine how many days I would have had to be down there.
Still, got paid to do nothing.
Far out man, far fucking out!
Although I think it's a good system, it does have it's flaws.
Once you are selected to be on a jury, you don't get out. AND, you are a complete and total slave to the judge. If he doesn't want you to leave, you don't. You do what he says when he says. You make calls when he allows, you eat when he allows, you pee when he allows, you don't go home until he says you can.

a bummer man.
Don't think FuckinA was wanting a definition. Think he wanting to know just what about it is a pisser?
I would, too. If there is something I can do to improve the production, let me know. I am learning more about the software every time I use it, and am on the way to getting the mic just right.
If there are philosophical differences, that's cool. It is about being a Christian Dude. If you aren't, that's fine, but try not to come down too hard on the dudecast. I don't want someone staying away if they haven't heard it. If someone hears it, and it isn't for them, that's cool. We can all still roll together and have a Kaukasian.
If it's too heavy, that's unfortunate, because I try to keep it light. That's why it is so short. Don't want a sermon, now do ya'll?
It isn't that heavy, right?
Episode 4 is up, dudes.
Let me know how it is.

Naw, sorry, not meaning to diss the dudecast, its just not my cup of Tab. My comments are meant to be light, "Ahh am not expert."
I'm no expert either, I did enjoy the third dudecast though!
Hey Dude,
I am also a Dude from a Christian Perspective so I am looking forward too listening to your Dudecasts over a few oat sodas. Will tell you what I think Tomorrow.
Take 'er easy.
Listened too it last night. Was interesting to listen too. Looking forward too future instalments.
Good thing us christian dudes getting together, man! But, then again, that's like my opinion, man!
Alright, Donny!
Episode 5 is up.
This one was fun. Had to do it twice!
I even left a blooper in there for you guys.
Let me know about the production value. I used some different software and I think the de-hiss is better now.
Got episode 6 posted last night, dudes!
This one looks longer when you download it, but there is a new, longer outro.
Episode 7 will be up this week, dudes.
This weeks exposition will be on forgiveness, as displayed by The Dude, Walter, and Donny.
Plus, the outro song will be played in its entirety.
Well, I was trying to work on the podomatic site today, but the server is acting up.
So, the dudecast will get out when it gets out. I'll try to have it up by Thursday like normal, but I don't know what's going to happen.
I am not happy.
OK, it wasn't Podomatic's server, it was my wireless router. It wouldn't let me upload through the hard connection, only through the wireless connection.
So, I was able to upload an updated first episode.
Then the wireless connection crashed.
I have no idea when I will be able to upload episode 7. It is recorded, and I need to edit, then I'll be ready.
I hope to have it up tomorrow (Thursday), which is my normal schedule, but I can't promise anything.
As I said, I am not happy.
It's posted!
Now, dudes, this one is 22 minutes! Don't freak out on me and get all reactionary. The 'talking' is only 13 or so minutes. With the intro, outro, 3 1/2 minute song I promised last time, and a new "heavy" part at the very end, it just looks longer than it is.
And that's always a good thing, right, guys?
The heavy stuff is at the end so you don't have to listen if you don't want.
So how are you feeling about podcasting? Getting the hang of it? How's your list of ideas coming along? Maybe we can collaborate some time.
Podcasting is fun.
Getting the time to do it isn't. Even on a 2 week schedule I find myself "on the wire" to get it out.
It's Wednesday, the 'cast is due out tomorrow, and I haven't recorded it yet. That means it won't be out til Thursday night at the earliest, maybe even Saturday!
I've got my subject for this one, but I'm lost after that. I don't actually know if I'm gonna do more than 10. What with server space being limited, I will either have to stop or start deleting from Podomatic. Can't spend any money on this right now. The Mrs. Righteous Dude has the checkbook, and pays the bills, so I can't bitch too much.
We'll see what happens.
And, yes, a collaboration would be fine, as long as we can keep it on topic. Might be hard to do with 2 people who blather and ramble like we do. But, which one of us blathers, and which one rambles?
Episode 8 is recorded, and will be posted Wednesday, if all goes according to plan. Just have to finish post-production, and me and the Mrs. Righteous Dude will be at church Tuesday night.
Thanks to FuckinA for suggesting the topic. Thanks to his urging, I actually found a patron Saint of Dudes! Well, that's the title that I gave him.
He's really the patron saint of comedians, butchers, and, according to one source, lazy people.
He's a real dude! But, ya gotta listen to find out who he was!
Cool man! I was just checking! To bad that Wednesday is a national Holiday in the Netherlands, so probably I'll be drunk on a festival, takin' 'r easy.
Episode 8 is up!
Have you thought about making a connection between what comes out of Donny's mouth and the Hebrew nation in the OT? You could even make NT references out of it. God's people always saying stupid things, out of their element, and what have you.
Hahaha dudes! Did you listen to the last dudecast?
My birthday is August 10th! That can't be a coincidence!
St Laurance rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So we have august 10th to celebrate the patron saint of dudes, on my freaking birthday!
Nice find on the Saint Lawrence thing, dudes. You have tapped into a river of wisdom there.
Donny died on Aug. 10. Can we also roll the 258 into that somehow? Donny wore a shirt with the name "Austin", which is short for Augustine.
Pope Sixtus beheaded on Aug. 6. The Dude did a header into the toilet on that same day. Walter said on Aug. 10 "I got buddies that died face down in the muck."
Some dudes are throwin' rocks.
I did not know all of those things.
Makes ya wonder just what kind of research the Coens did...
And, in case ya'll hadn't figured it out, I'm suffering from a severe case of what is called "podfade". That's when a podcast just stops.
I haven't quit. I just really slowed down for a while.
I'm looking into a web host with unlimited storage and unlimited bandwidth. If I can get in, I'll re-boot the dudecast.
The re-boot won't be so extremely centered on the Dude, most likely. It'll still be The Righteous Dude, and I'll still be "not heavy", but I will be trying to expand my audience. A lot of people need a little Dudely Religion, so I'll be spreading the Christian Word, in a very Dude fashion.
And, yes, I know I still owe you guys a story about one particular night in 1988.
Yeah you do! The drunk story, man! But take it easy searching man. I'm gonna go to India next friday, maybe I'll get new dudeist inspiration, man!
The ninth, and final, episode of the original dudecast is recorded, edited, and mixed.
I hope the story lives up to the hype.
I will post it in the morning and drop the link here.

The Dudecast has been fun, but it just isn't sustainable. Thus the changes.
Hope you get a kick outta this!
The reboot is done and online!
Yes, Dudes (and Dudettes), The Righteous Dude is back, giving you his laid back thoughts on being a Dude of Faith!
Go to the link:
http://therighteousdude.podomatic.com/

With some podcasting experience under my robe's belt (I do another podcast now), and a much better microphone (this one cost more than a dollar!), The Righteous Dude sounds really good! Doesn't sound any smarter, but much clearer!
Enjoy and let me know what you think!
PS: Thanks a lot to the new subscribers! Podomatic reports some 15 subscribers in the last 30 days! Wow!
Also, I'm going to iTunes! Look for The Righteous Dude there!
Reboot Episode 2 is up.
Beware, Christians. This one is gonna make you furious!
But, ya gotta listen to find out why...

Is that some kind of Eastern thing?
I'm not a Christian and it really pissed me off, mang - it didn't play (is this some kind of god-podcast-thing, Dudes?)

It plays for me Rev. Cakebelly.
The player pops up in a new window. Do you have pop-ups blocked?
Ah. Cheers, will attempt another go . . when I'm not grooving to Tinariwen (mang, those Dudes are good). All hail the new 'global moderator' ;D
What the fuck is a "Global monitor"? ???
Do you have a job sir? ???
He's a global moderator, so that's what you call him. That or Globo or Globorino or His Global Moderatorness if you're not into that whole brevity thing.
Sounds like an un-micturated upon podcast. Far fucking out.

Did I ever mention I hate SPAM!!
Not the "meat" in a can though, I actually like that. I fry that up with eggs and slap them both between two slices of toast.

Can you hear the vikings in the background yet boys and girls?
"Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, lovely Spam, glorious Spam!"
@ M5 - I was tempted, Dude, very tempted but resisted posting a link to the song ;D
@ CC - Spam is the flesh of the devil when it is fresh from the constraints of the tin; yeah, you need to fry that meat product up and sizzle all the wickedness from it. I'm a recent convert. ;D
