The Intelligently Resigned Show
While people can be annoying, individuals and their stories can be interesting and relatable. The Intelligently Resigned Show is one dude's attempt to get at those stories. I sit down in all kinds of settings to talk to all kinds of people about all kinds of things. I utilize my 'How the hell did you end up here' style of interview to learn about where my guest grew up, if their parents were pricks, if they got laid in high school, and what the hell they are up to now.......you know, the important stuff. In the process, we learn about their views and I find inopportune moments to crow-bar in my own stories and opinions. So set your standards to "Low" and get to know some of the interesting people I've met along the way.
The Ex-Missionary, Liza

Adrian welcomes his new friend, Liza, to the compound where we get to know a little about her growing up with a pastor as a dad. She gives us a good horror story from her days as a young, christian missionary in Europe followed by a terrible reason for not being with the guy she loves. Adrian then gets to know more about her religious views but ends up more confused than before the interview.

The Combat Veteran, Bryson

Adrian was welcomed to the home of his new buddy, Bryson, the Iraq/Afghanistan veteran and hoorah did Adrian end up feelin patriotic, sort of....  Adrian feels the need to thoroughly describe Bryson's home before they finally get to some war stories. However, Bryson first tells us a little about his less-than-awesome childhood, which just makes his success that much more inspirational.

The Love Machine, Fernando

Adrian is stoked to be in a real-life radio station, welcomed by his future friend, Fernando the Love Machine. Fernando is an entertainer of many-a-media and Adrian makes the big mistake of trying to compare himself to Fernando. They talk a little about Fernando's coming-up, then talk a little stand-up comedy, marriage, parenting and other gross stuff. Adrian then finally beats Fernando at all the wrong things. ....you'll see.

The Return of the Christian Guy, Steve

The christian guy, Steve, was kind enough to come back on the show to talk religion with Adrian, and that's where the kindness starts to fade. Steve clarifies some of his views on what the bible says and Adrian ends up more confused on his views afterwards than he was before the interview. ....and hearing Steve justify slavery gets pretty interesting. Steve then shares his views on gay marriage and abortion and sh*t gets even more interesting. ....good times.
