I’m still listening. Loved these episodes after finishing the Podiobooks version to get a little extra. Great stuff. Still can’t believe it’s over. I know it’s a long way off but I can’t wait for another book in this series.
Dan: We’re thrilled you enjoy it. At least one more book in the series!
I was a little bit behind on the podcasts because I decided to relisten to The All-Pro and The MVP, but I was still listening to the very end.
I forgot to mention, I had no clue who Captain Bligh was, so I can’t really side with either party on that matter.
Just now getting caught up on the podcast, but… Captain Bligh… I knew who he was when I was like 11… so sorry, FDO.
If he played for To, he’d probably get mutineed against and end up defecting elsewhere and then seeking revenge on them and maybe on Yall, too.
A is right and I am still listening… er was listening… to the bitter end. Yes I checked myself into the nut house.
Yes, indeed I’m still listening
1. Listened to the whole thing – to the bitter end. That bitter, bitter end.
2. Sorry A. – I thought Capt. Bligh was a bad guy too. Of course he was in the English Navy and fought against us (USA) during the American Revolution – so I think that does put him firmly in the bad guy category.
3. Scott, you mentioned a horrible flightmare and you not doing anything, in the interest of not getting kicked off the plane. Getting kicked off could get you on the news – and there is no such thing as bad publicity. You might re-think that on future flights.
4. Loved the new Nocturnal and Phil did a great job with the read. Look forward to hearing more of his narration. After The Champion, of course.
@Gunbunny13B: Bligh fought against the USA? As we all know, anyone opposing your country is a bad person, so, yes, Bligh was a freakin’ pirate!!*
*Note: The author of this comment holds no ill will against the current citizens of the United Kingdom.
I listened to the whole damn thing and all I wanted was a bud light after! Thanks for making me want beer at work Scott!
and Narragansett > Bud Light any day….the gauntlet be throweth downed
Also Nocturnal has become my favorite of all your books…so far /evil laugh
@elberadedbeasto: You are on, sir, I say you are on!
I dranketh my first gansett at dinner, now i shall work on my next
and i left all the leftover bud lights with my father-in-law after my wedding last Sat (21 cans), I should have sent them to you, express mail with stamps.com instead
elbeardedbeasto: Cans? Sir, I only drink bottles! Do you think I am uncivilized????
my sincerest apologies mighty FDO! what was I thinking? For my digression I shall oweth you many long-neck bottles of bud light as recompense.
but I shall not forsake thy New England Patriots, even if threatened by Sklorno raspers…I did pick the goddamn Detroit Lions to win this week in my works football pool though (in support of you)
Oh captain my captain…although captain’s share is a good reference… captain of an HMS vessel is always A DEAD GIVEAWAY fir the good guy naval leaders
Cathing up on my podcasts, so I’m a bit late to comment on this. Sorry FDO – I must side with A – Captain ≠ Pirate. Have you not read Nathan Lowel’s Trader Tales series? Book 5 – Captain’s Share certainly does not make Ishmael Horatio Wang a pirate.
joel: CAPTAIN’S SHARE is about a pirate that steals belt buckles, then sells them at a market. This is how pirates do!.
Oh Captain, my Captain. (Sorry, Scott)
Also…still listening – to the very end!
I’m siding with A, but I enjoyed hearing Scott’s arguments, lol.
Oh Captain! My Captain! A is right. And here is a good question. Is Quentin Barnes a Captain? Because he is definitely not a Toe “Pirate”.
Also I am still listening.
Siding with A, Captain my captain and still listening. I have to side with A, My Captain is what I used to call JP long ago when we were dating.
OK Scott, Pirate it up today…
And talk like a pirate!
http://www.talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html
Well, it seems everyone is sticking with maritime captains, with the exception of Captains America, Caveman, and “TRA-LA-LAAAA” Underpants!
Where does that leave some of my other favorite captains? Captain Jack Harkness? Captain Kangaroo? Captain and Tennile? Captain Chaos?
For the record, I truly thought Captain Bligh was a pirate, too!
Captain crunch too
I listened, and I see Captn. Bligh with a patch over his eye he lost horribly in some kind of pillaging accident. He walked with a limp and had many many SDTs, not judging, just sayin. Just like all my other favorite Captn’s: Crunch, Morgan, and of course Jack Sparrow.
Although Scott may have confused Captain B with on of my favorite poets Captain Pigheart (Nick Taylor) my listing to one of Hornblower books and the way spoils of war were divided makes me think he was not necessarily wrong. I would bet the French or Spaniards or whomever England was fighting that week might have considered Captain B a pirate. Like that Drake guy.
Still Listening…..
Can you clarify a little more why you dropped the gangsta thread?
Ass_Magic_6: First of all, your site name insinuates that we already have five “Ass Magics” on our site. Nice. Second, no one likes a smart ass. Except you. We like you.
Dude, I even though Captain Crunch was a pirate! I’m with Sigler.
Dustin: Hell yes.
I’m still listening!
Sheesh on the spelling. I should never write this early in the morning. :/
O Captain, my Captiain!
Captain Bligh most definitely not a pirate. I’m with A all the way!
Also – I’m still listening. All the way, always 🙂
Still listening. Captain my Captain.
On a side note, “Arrgh, though the FDO be technically incorrect, one must never contradict the FDO, if one knows ye place.”
Still listening.
Arg Matie
Captain, My Captain
O Captain my Captain. And you forgot, Scott, A is always right!!
Oh Captain, my captain.
A, you are so right on this one. Make sure Scott doesn’t trod down the path of ignorance!
But some captains are pirates, you just have to know which ones.
e.g., Captain Hook is a pirate!
I am siding with Scott, Captain Bligh sounds like a pirate that pillages and kills.
Oh, Captain, my Captain.
I’ll admit, the first thing I thought when I heard Captain Bligh was “Arrrrr!”
I’m still listening. 😀
Still Listening…
Ok Scott, two things…
1) “A” you should know NEVER to doubt the FDO about his uneducated statements!!!!! (Captain Bly)
& B) Scott, you must never question the knowledge of the Most High “A”.
-Cheers!
Oh Captain my Captain!
A is absol-freakin-lutely right.
There were even a few major motion pictures on the subject.
I hardly ever think of a pirate when I hear the word Captain.
I think of a wonderful man dressed in blue with a large C on his hat who makes something called Crunch!
@SurferD: CAPTAIN = PIRATE!
Still listening
I am still listening, Oh Captain my Captain.
Oh Captain, My Captain. I salute A for her correctness. Go Team A!
Does that make us the A-Team?
🙂
HELLS YES IT DOES!
O Captain, my Captain! A is right.
Although he may have been a terrible leader he was still a commissioned officer and should be treated as such.
Still listening.
Okay, so you do have a good point there. Not a pirate, definitely a jerk. I can’t imagine how crummy things had to be to mutiny on a ship without autopilot or computer nav. But I’m guessing pretty crummy indeed.
I thought he was a captain in the Air Force. Missed that part, but I am still listening.
Oh Captain, my Captain – A is right, and I am still listening. 🙂
Captain America – Pirate? I think not.
Ha! Captain America = NOT A PIRATE!
Kia ora (Hello from Aotearoa)
Bligh wasn’t a pirate but the FDO is correct. He was one hell of a bad dude Captain, which is why they dumped him overboard.
So in principal the FDO is correct.

Interesting. Lots of Captain Tractor songs on Youtube/etc. But Pitcairn Island isn’t one of them…
Anyhoo, I’ve had the album for ages, here’s the lyric, as best I could transcribe (the 3rd verse gave me some trouble)
We’re Pitcairn Island ladies
And we’re Pitcairn Island gents
And we are the innocent victims
Of a strange turn of events.
We’re Pitcairn Island ladies
And we’re Pitcairn Island gents
And we are the innocent victims
Of a strange turn of events.
We’ll dance the night away
Underneath these foreign skies
And we’ve never been this happy
In all of our lives.
Well the year was 1789
And we’ve found our promised land
If it wasn’t for old Captain Bligh
We’d never leave these sands
His will’s as hard as tempered steel
He’s a hard embittered soul
His hair’s as white as white can be
And his heart’s as black as coal
We’re sick of planting breadfruit
For the profit of our king.
If we never see Great Britain again
We sure won’t miss a thing
That’s why we’ve met in secret
And quietly we’ve planned
And as for good old Captain Bligh
From the yardiron he’ll hang.
We’re Pitcairn Island ladies
And we’re Pitcairn Island gents
And we are the innocent victims
Of a strange turn of events.
We’ll dance the night away
Underneath these foreign skies
And we’ve never been this happy
In all of our lives.
We’ve found ourselves some pretty wives
From the islands here abouts
They’re beautiful beyond compare
And they love us sailor louts
They’re faithful to their sailor lads
And no skill in telling lies
Our children they will have brown skin
And they’ll also have blue eyes
Captain Bligh he’s been set adrift
On an 18 foot long boat
He’s heading back to England
But the rig can’t hardly float
Mr. Christian is our captain now
Our plot went just as planned
We’ll live in peace forever more
And let the world be damned!
We’re Pitcairn Island ladies
And we’re Pitcairn Island gents
And we are the innocent victims
Of a strange turn of events.
We’ll dance the night away
Underneath these foreign skies
And we’ve never been this happy
In all of our lives.
Oh we watched the Bounty burning
From the shores of our fair isle
And our laughter it grew silent
And a tear replaced a smile
Oh we’ll never see old England
But as the bow spit hit the waves
A cheer rang up amongst us (hurray)
We were no longer slaves
We’re Pitcairn Island ladies
And we’re Pitcairn Island gents
And we are the innocent victims
Of a strange turn of events.
We’ll dance the night away
Underneath these foreign skies
And we’ve never been this happy
In all of our lives.
We’re Pitcairn Island ladies
And we’re Pitcairn Island gents
And we are the innocent victims
Of a strange turn of events.
We’ll dance the night away
Underneath these foreign skies
And we’ve never been this happy
In all of our lives.
I dunno, this song didn’t paint the Captain in such a good light:

Pirate.
Dave wangrow: That’s what I’m talking about!
Siding with A. 😛
Arrrrgh. All Captain’s Pirate.
& *Still listening* !
nigtom: Exactly.
Arrrrgh. All Captain’s Pirate.
Seriously, Scott, I think that must have been the alcohol speaking when you said you thought all captains are pirates. I know you are smarter than that. O Captain! My Captain! A is right.
Great job with Nocturnal, and as always, I enjoy listening to the Q&A episodes for a bunch of “FDO and A” verbal goodness.
O Captain, my Captain! A is always right, yet Scott is, and will always be my FDO.
And yes, I’m still listening!
#stilllistening
I don’t necessarily think of Captain Bligh as a good guy, but I don’t think of him as a pirate.
In any case, you should hold off on pirate references, lest your books get rated Arrrrrgh!
I’m siding with A, since all Captains are good. This includes Crunch, Caveman, America and Underpants.
All pirates are -beards, or Dread Roberts or Sparrows.
O Cap’n Crunch! My Cap’n Crunch!
Scott and A,
Still listening!
And, I love that my question was REPEATED to “put the butter (or that elusive syrup) on the pancakes.” You are way funny on Bloody Mary’s. I’m buying you both B;oozy Mary’s every morning of Siglerfest.
Most importably, I am stokled, psyched, excited, and pumped that The Champion is on deck. The big question… does that mean it starts tomorrow (9/14)?
Cheers, Mark L Berry
On the news of The Champion podcast, I squealed like a 4 yr old girl that just heard she was getting to watch Frozen again.
Also, Bligh would never play for To.
Cap’n Bly … not pirate (are you kidding me?)
Cap’n Ndamukomg Suh … total pirate (we loved him here in Nebraska)
Cap’n Morgan … total sissy drink … The pirate Morgan is probably mortified.
I side with A that most people know that a Captain is not necessarily a pirate, O Captain! my Captain!
