Sun, 27 November 2005 19.3 MB / 28 min. Like tainted meat, everything about this show is just a little off, namely my state of mind. A 69 cent cornbread dinner, worst kitchen experience, Rolf Bernischke, three of my top 10 game shows of all time. Intro compliments of Seth, Third Son of Albert, from the WHYME podcast. Comments[8] |
Thu, 17 November 2005 15.2 MB / 22 min. Take a briefcase. Fill it with real cash and fake cocaine. Handcuff it to your wrist. Wire yourself. Put on a black suit. Go to the airport. Fall down. Spill the contents of the briefcase. You’re on your own from there. Comments[13] |
Sun, 13 November 2005 12.6 MB / 18 min. Milk: a fluid secreted by the mammary glands of females for the nourishment of their young. Bilk: to cheat out of something valuable. Unedited and direct to you the SAME DAY, from the Steve Dupont Corporation! Hopefully this is listenable because, ooh Jesus, oooh God, I’m hungover as hell. You know it’s bad when you need multiple Os in oh. Comments[6] |
Tue, 8 November 2005 18.1 MB / 26 min. Deconstructing Kerouac, the third leg theory, Platoon, the Matrix and Life of Brian, bells and alarms in your head, putting things in places they are not, the role of planets in the solar system, yada yada. Comments[9] |
Thu, 3 November 2005 16.2 MB / 23 min. In an ambitious episode, we trace the existence of the universe from negative infinity to infinity. Well, not really. But we DO trace the history of civilization from -4241 to about 1874, and not much happens. Comments[5] |
Mon, 31 October 2005 9.8 MB / 14 min. Want to tag along on my trip to the post office? Too bad! You’re going and you'll like it! The question is, WHAT’S IN THE BOX? Comments[3] |
Thu, 27 October 2005 22.3 MB / 32 min. Physical World vs. Idea World, the Paperless Society, implosion and explosion, gravitational membranes, sports injury stories, corrections and a real contest WITH A REAL PRIZE!!! Comments[15] |
Tue, 25 October 2005 18.7 MB / 27 min. The cooking show that never was. The race to help fight Scurvy. More chicken and polenta. More Adam and Eve. More closure to 33. Less is more. Comments[10] |
Tue, 18 October 2005 29 MB / 42 min. This story is 100 percent true, and I’m 99.9 percent sure it actually happened. More to come in episode 34. Comments? Feedback? E-mail me: obtuseangle@stevedupont.com or call 206-339-7263. Comments[20] |
Thu, 13 October 2005 27.4 MB / 40 min. Get it? Like religious tracts? See, in this episode I walk down some train tracks and talk about religion, so it’s like a play on words. Heaven, hell, sinners, saints and a new term I learned from an evangelical talk show: Moral Absolutism. All aboard! The Obtuse Angle is leaving the station! Comments[5] |
Sun, 9 October 2005 18.2 MB / 26 min. Revisiting the burglary, Infinite Jest, Seven Angels of the Lloyd, technical difficulties and, yes, lots of frothy beakers. Comments[7] |
Tue, 4 October 2005 15.5 MB / 22 min. Imagine showing up at work one day only to find out your employer has shifted its core business from Widgets to Big Juicy Horse Cocks. Man, that would be awesome. Or scary. Comments[8] |
Thu, 29 September 2005 16.2 MB / 23 min. Well, I suppose quality is trending up again, but not by much. Damning God for His own sake, Clown shoes, buckets, space duty (doody), fellatio-based insults, my pro wrestling alter-ego and much, much -- no, actually, that's about it. Side note: I didn’t purchase the Michelob Ultra nor do I endorse it in any way. Oh, and I know it was Michael Douglas in Falling Down, not Kirk or Kurt Douglas. Comments[8] |
Mon, 26 September 2005 20.6 MB / 30 min. Back to the drunken, incoherent gibberish we go! Attempted robbery, WatchDog 2000, notes from the notebook, The Demon Lady and much, much more ladies and gentlemen. Comments[8] |
Thu, 22 September 2005 16.1 MB / 23 min. So it appears my promotional efforts have not gone unnoticed by the Jumex Corporation. Listen as I reveal what was inside the envelope. Comments[22] |
Sun, 18 September 2005 12.9 MB / 18 min. Simulated gluttony, wild boar and Octopussy are on the menu this time around, not to mention playing with loaded shotguns. If anyone’s still listening, consider yourself deeply pitied. Comments[15] |
Mon, 12 September 2005 11 MB / 16 min. Only took 2 hours, but I got my dinner on the table. African stereotypes, Taiwanese hookers and passing the buck to your future self. Comments[10] |
Tue, 6 September 2005 26.2 MB / 38 min. Taking a little break from the Jumex-fueled craziness, we reflect on Hurricane Katrina and a wedding weekend up in Michigan. Plus, I’m proud to welcome aboard a new (non-paying) sponsor, Uncle Sam Cereal. Comments[8] |
Mon, 29 August 2005 15 MB / 22 min. Perhaps the most vacuous and absurd show yet, in which I struggle to perform an imaginary Jumex commercial and fail miserably. That's really about it, folks. Did I mention that I pity you? Comments[9] |
Thu, 25 August 2005 14.3 MB / 21 min. Thus begins the period of total and utter incoherence. Sodomy, poultry tenderization, guest appearances on Alf, good news and bad news, neither of which will be revealed, and neither of which I remember. Buckle up, folks, because this will continue for several shows to come. If it’s any consolation, I pity you. Comments[5] |
Tue, 23 August 2005 14.3 MB / 21 min. I continue my blind wanderings across the scientific landscape with an obtuse explanation of atomic principles, as well Fletch, fools, Pong – and of course a song. Comments[6] |
Thu, 18 August 2005 11.9 MB / 17 min. Future Steve is in the house, kids! And he’s brimming with negativity! What NOT to expect from The Obtuse Angle, what the show is NOT about, and much more. Quite uninformative, as usual. Comments[12] |
Mon, 15 August 2005 14.8 MB / 21 min. What starts out as a wild ride over choppy mental waters turns into a rather grounded clinic in phone mismanagement. Other topics include slippery slopes and Listener Lore, a new segment proposed but never fully explained. Plus, a guest appearance by Indian Nelly! Comments[2] |
Thu, 11 August 2005 14.3 MB / 21 min. Within the framework of a shameless sponsorship pitch to the Jumex corporation, I babble about scurvy, the Titanic, the Pittsburgh Steelers and more – plus, I finally finish explaining the infamous Johnny Cochran TV commercial. Comments[3] |
Wed, 10 August 2005 11.8 MB / 17 min. A brief, although not as brief as intended, visit from Future Steve who makes some obtuse points, gives some shoutouts and introduces a brand new offering from the Contest Department! Comments[13] |
Mon, 8 August 2005 8.4 MB / 18 min. I actually call them metaphorical pulpits in the podcast, but proverbial keeps the alliteration theme going, which I agree is getting ridiculous by the way. In other news, the Power Rangers are meaningless eunuchs and Africa is really really big. Comments[7] |
Thu, 4 August 2005 8.8 MB / 19 min. A pretty lame episode, I have to admit, in which I drag you along on a Saturday errand in the car. See, shrimp juice smells really really bad and it's really really hot and, well, nevermind. All the suffering must have gone to my head. Comments[10] |
Tue, 2 August 2005 7.6 MB / 16 min. We hack our way through a number of obtusely presented topics on the show today, from astronomy to sodomy to professional wrestling – plus, we continue to bang the Ship of Podcasting metaphor like a cheap hooker. So climb aboard, ye scallywags! Comments[8] |
Thu, 28 July 2005 9.6 MB / 21 min. Workplace safety and hygiene are on the docket today, as I recount a cake-cutting breach of etiquette that should be punishable by vigorous flogging, if not death. Leave your own anecdotes in the comments section why don’t you! Comments[5] |
Tue, 26 July 2005 11.6 MB / 25 min. I discuss the big bachelor party weekend without straying from the talking points, yet, in the process decide I would be the worst White House press secretary ever. Needless to say, other asinine topics are covered, as well, including the weather of all things. Comments[9] |
Wed, 20 July 2005 13.6 MB / 29 min. Kind of a deli format today, with the aforementioned Wolfman flashback sandwiched between some low-cal discussion of e-mail feedback, namely a missive from PK&J Paul calling me a hypocrite and a douchebag. Comments[5] |
Thu, 14 July 2005 11.7 MB / 25 min. We're sporting some NEW SOUND on the show today, kids! New mic and new settings on the recorder, which I realized has been set to LP mode this whole time. SP is much crisper. Anyhoo, I pace around and wonder what would happen if a million-billion microscopic sonic booms occured in your brain, plus some prattle about pimping podcasters and a special contest that involves Gary Busey! Comments[5] |
Sun, 10 July 2005 9.2 MB / 20 min. On a special July 4 holiday edition that’s only one week removed from utter relevance, I discuss the vigilance, patriotism, swords, German airport police and my package – plus pills going down the pipe! Pod bless America! (Jesus, that’s lame.) Comments[3] |
Thu, 7 July 2005 10.4 MB / 22 min. As usual, I’m not exactly sure when this was recorded, but I DO KNOW that it was before I even published show number one. Among the topics of discussion are the minutiae of domestic systems, digital fish and my utter lack of professionalism in general. So enjoy! And send your complaints to biteme@stevedupont.com. Comments[2] |
Tue, 5 July 2005 13.8 MB / 30 min. In a flashback edition of the show I recount my recent encounter with basketball legend Magic Johnson and ponder a career in motivational speaking. Comments[3] |
Thu, 30 June 2005 10.7 MB / 23 min. I podcast on location from the tool shed in my backyard and discuss the metric system, time zones and a whole lot of nonsense in general. Plus, a shoutout to another Aussie listener. G’day and happy listening! Comments[2] |
Mon, 27 June 2005 10 ½. Festival Guy – 17.1 MB / 37 min. On a pure storytelling edition of the show, I spin the yarn of how I, myself, became Festival Guy at Birmingham’s annual City Stages Music Festival, and how I was almost arrested in the process. Comments[6] |
Thu, 23 June 2005 Podcast 9 ½ – 13.1 MB / 28 min. It takes me one official whale of a long time to make a cocktail, and in the process I make several obtuse observations, such as that whales eat plankton. My first shoutouts to Vinnie, whom I now know is an Australian living in Hong Kong, and JV from No 1’s Listening podcast. Comments[4] |
Mon, 20 June 2005 9.7 MB / 21 min. Originally intended to be Podcast #2 (don't ask), we get a little psychedelic at the beginning, followed by typically obtuse ramblings about whiskey, insects, pebbles in the shoe, trees made of dirt redux and much, much less! I mean more! Comments[6] |
Wed, 15 June 2005 24.7 MB / 54 min. – A chronicle of 12 hours on the Vegas Strip that turns from good to bad to downright ugly. Before I lose my mind I discuss imaginary panties, banana peel-related lawsuits and anal explosions. And as a fitting capper, I run into the tripping dude from the flight. Random! Comments[7] |
Mon, 13 June 2005 12.7 MB / 28 min. The morning after, I recount our wacky flight to Vegas and the ensuing night of debauchery. Also, thoughts on how time transcends luxury, but not really. In closing, I get down on my knees and beg for feedback of any kind. Comments[4] |
Thu, 2 June 2005 19.6 MB / 43 min. Taking a “sick day,� thinking about wood, head teeming with fish, safety corner, health corner, squirrels and girls gone wild, Wonder Years Wayne, crazy cliché origins, bikinis vs. lingerie, PK & J sucking their own proverbial dick … Comments[2] |
Mon, 30 May 2005 11.2 MB / 24 min. Sort of a continuation of Podcast #4, this picks up late-night when I�m babbling on about Jerry Lewis, digital gravitational fields, Bones the cat, pork swords, Jesus surveys and -- as always -- much, much more! Comments[4] |
Mon, 16 May 2005 15.6 MB / 34 min. All kinds of wackiness ensues when I begin sluicing back Full Throttle energy drink cocktails. Scurvy lurking in my house … new favorite website: www.wwwwwwwww.com … trees made out of dirt … bring out your dead chipmunks … bathroom paranoia … breakfast cereal … cartoons … Comments[5] |
Tue, 1 March 2005 New, one-minute promo for your ears. Comments[4] |
