Episode One Hundred Thirty Eight

Episode One Hundred Thirty Eight: "That means you'll not get another penny until the whole $138 is paid up."

This week, we talk a bit about Black Swan and the dancing non-troversary, Chris teases a huge Big Bang Theory plot point from last night's show. We talk about how when the director of a movie slams a similar ype of movie currently in release, it's really petty and unprofessional. The looming U.S. government shutdown is discussed, Michael Savages firing, Glenn Becks imminent departure and a host of other topics are discussed. We top the show off with more campaign rhetoric from Rev. Scott, but not before the most well thought out rebuttal we have ever had on out show.

Episode One Hundred Thirty Seven: "Well, that's good, because I have to tell Corey I love her by 1:37."

This week, we have a retraction. (Some U.S. history was discussed last week and it was incorrect.) We talk about what little new T.V. there was and we have a discussion about the reception that "Sucker Punch" has received. Since we switched hosting services to podbean, we talk a little about what that means for you, our listeners as well as the show.

 

Chris talks about the absurdity of believing in just one supernatural being, but not others and Frank takes the opposite side. Some confusing stories from the Bible are discussed, like if God created the universe and all of reality just by saying so, why does he need mud or a rib to make people? The comfort and relative safety that religion brings versus truly living your life and experiencing everything you can is also touched on.

We have some listener submitted stories that are always good for a laugh (or a head shake) and we stall long enough to get some "propaganda" feedback from Reverend Scott. In rebuttal to last week's campaign message from Scott, we have a very special rebuttal from some up and coming political commentators.

Music this week is from:

Chris Bricklemyer - "Are You Serious Theme V2"

Concrete Blonde - "Everybody Knows"

"White Rabbit,"

"I Want It All - We Will Rock You," and

"Seek and Destroy" - From the "Sucker Punch soundtrack
