The Takeover - S03E14 - The Final Show - (ep69)
posted by The Dark Prince
The final show :(
The entire cast was in the studio, and while it made for some awkwardness (I mean we’re breaking up for a reason, right?) it was still great for the fans to have everyone there. The chat room was packed, and we had call-ins from Tha Mike, Hex of Nerdapalooza, Masurao of Krondor Krew, and more! Strangely enough, our scheduled guests no showed on us :P But that was okay, we made due, brought up the good times, and the not so good times, played a lot of good music, and said goodbye.
Thank you all for tuning into the chaos that was The Takeover. We hope you loved every minute of it, I know we did.

The Takeover - S03E13 - Purple Lights and Incense - (ep68)
posted by The Dark Prince
NOTE: We had a lot of problems with the recording, so some small parts of the show have been cut, and for some reason the Hilary Duff “With Love” song that we end every show with starts 20 seconds or so after we stop talking, but I will definitely fix that later tonight if you need a proper mix for your archives :) EDIT: Fixed Hilary!
The second to last show! We had local MC Progress live in the studio for an interview and awesome performance while promoting his upcoming show with Murs in San Diego December 12. We also did a mini-interview with Epic-1 who talked about his new debut solo album Black Friday, had a call-in from Attack Slug, talked about the upcoming last Takeover show ever, got into our holiday weekends, and played a ton of great music!
Remember, December 7, 2008, is OUR LAST SHOW EVER! We air from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM PST that night, and if everyone can tune in live and fill the chat room, that would make the ending that much sweeter! We’ll have interviews with Entity of 8-Bit Boys, along with Captain Dan of the Scurvy Crew and Hex of Nerdapalooza, and Silent D. will be in the studio helping us remember the good times we had. Don’t miss it!

The Takeover - S03E12 - A Major Announcement - (ep67)
posted by The Dark Prince
This week on The Takeover, we made the major announcement that, after nearly three years, December 7 will be the final show ever. Unfortunately, we collectively are not able to fully commit to producing the show, and we feel that you as a listener deserve nothing less, so we have all decided that the show will sadly come to an end so that everyone can move forward to bigger and better things.
We have two more shows scheduled, with local San Diego MC artist Progress live in studio next week, and, December 7, our final interview will be with Entity of 8-Bit Boys. We hope you’ll join us in saying goodbye to The Takeover, and help us remember the great times we’ve shared with you, all on these final shows. We thank each and every one of you for making these past three years the most fun and rewarding we’ve ever had!
Also on this episode, The Dark Prince announced that he will officially step down as ZeaLouS1’s manager, the San Diego Chargers battled the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday Night Football, a drunk Mrs. Takeover called in live from a skybox at Qualcomm Stadium, Tony B. tried desperately to claim his free bottle of soda from the Dr. Pepper website during their Guns ‘N Roses free giveaway, and after the announcement was made, we took calls from ZombieK, Sir Up of Emergency Pizza Party, Kabutu the Python now of Scrub Club Records, and Tony B.’s Dani as they all gave their condolences to the loss of the show.

The Takeover - S03E11 - Down with the Sickness - (ep66)
posted by The Dark Prince
Would you believe it? THE ENTIRE TAKEOVER CAST WAS SICK! Tony B. and The Dark Prince managed to drag themselves out of bed and made it to the studio to put on the best show two dying people could. They interviewed director Seth Grossman, who proved to be the funniest, most entertaining guest that’s ever been on the show, ZeaLouS1 was cursed out more than once for not showing up, Mrs. Takeover called in and gave the boys an odd homemade remedy guaranteed to cure what ails ya, music was played, and everything ended a little early because no one could stop coughing.

The Takeover - S03E10 - Dynamic Duo - (ep65)
posted by The Dark Prince
And then there were two. ZeaLouS1 was out trying to pay off Lil’ Weezy, and Silent D. fell prey to the Chupacabra, which left The Dark Prince and Tony B. to host The Takeover all alone. Oh no! What will our heroes do?! Fear not, because the show actually turned out pretty well, we started everything off with a salute to our new president-elect, Barack Obama, talked more about politics than we ever have on The Takeover (all episodes combined), tested the limits of DP’s sick/sexy voice, interviewed the wonderful Zombies! Organize!!, learned why public figures should keep their noses clean, got very deep into the sObE (that’s how we’re spelling it now) and, somewhere towards the end of it all, we held a vote on whether we should let ZeaLouS1 back onto the show :P Download and listen to find out the results!

The Takeover - S03E09 - Silent D.’s Bitch - (ep64)
posted by The Dark Prince
Silent D. returns to The Takeover to fill in for an absent ZeaLouS1 (who had to pay some bills) for a fun filled, jam packed, drunk off SoBe 3 hours! We got immediately into why it’s not a good idea to call your girlfriend a bitch, how we spent our Halloweens, the craziness that is World of Warcraft with people stabbing each other and Blizzard making tons of cash, the recent firing of the Chargers defensive coach, CHEETAHS ON A FREAKIN’ PLANE, Obama pumping money into in-game advertising, our views on California’s Proposition 8, the new Hot Topic music store, and we closed everything out with a very brief ZeaLouS1 freestyle call-in!

The Takeover - S03E08 - Halloween Fail - (ep63)
posted by The Dark Prince
We’re sorry!
Really guys, we are, we had technical difficulties once again while attempting to broadcast from Churchill’s Pub & Grille in San Marcos, CA. This time we came damn close to pulling it off, but in the end we just couldn’t get it going live for you. But, as promised, we did record the show, including the live performance by ZeaLouS1!
Our apologies to Raven Sorvino, who drove down all the way from LA to be on the bill, and who only got to perform a couple of songs at the tail end of the night. Unfortunately we weren’t able to record her performance, but we definitely recommend heading over to her MySpace and downloading her latest album, Real Fresh, completely free of charge. Really, it has the official Takeover stamp of approval, so you know it has to be awesome.

The Takeover - S03E07 - Chupacabra, Baby - (ep62)
posted by The Dark Prince
An awesome show! The real return of Silent D. in the studio! An interview with Madhatter!
The ball kept rolling this past Sunday, where we found out where SD has been for the past five months, learned of the deadly chupacabras roaming the southern Californian territory, got into our money troubles, started an official beef war with Sangriaa and Nina of Vagina Deep in Podcast, reminisced about our times with Matthew McConaughey, spoke highly of Eminem, shared our WoW patch update stories, asked ourselves why teenagers take naked pictures of themselves and post it on the Internets, went through the 9 awesome places to have sex, and closed everything out with a technical difficulties ridden freestyle.

The Takeover - S03E06 - Take It To The Grave - (ep61)
posted by The Dark Prince
Such a great show! We’re really sorry if you missed it live, we had trouble with our server all throughout the show, which led to a great deal of cutting out and connection errors. Don’t worry though, we have the podcast version all ready to go for your listening pleasure!
This week we interview the lovely and talented Raven Sorvino, tried to keep on point with the San Diego Chargers dominating the New England Patriots in the background, got into some of the most highly anticipated games we’re hoping Santa brings us this holiday season, talked about WoW hardware and the upcoming expansion, brought up all kinds of pending lawsuits and litigations, some our own, some other people’s, mourned the shut-down of Mother’s Cookies, and closed out everything with a freestyle.
