Episode One Hundred Eighty Four

This week, since so many strange things happened, we jump right in feet first and wade through all the disgusting Santorum. After that, we talk about signing paperwork and not reading it, home schooling, incorrect trailers on kid's movies, kinky nuns and proper grammar, and why people think it's o.k. to "show some hate" to atheists. Chris then details a conversation he had on Facebook that was the last straw for him.

Episode One Hundred Eighty Three



Episode One Hundred Eighty Three: "In this corner of the universe, a prizefighter named Bolie Jackson, one hundred eighty-three pounds and an hour and a half away from a comeback at St. Nick's Arena."

This week, we talk about some more really stupid things that people said and did. We talk about what went down at Chris' old theater for the Phantom Menace premier and special events. We have a ton of feedback that basically attacks Frank for his callous and uncaring view on the lives of captive animals. (I believe it's all to get a reaction out of our listeners, so don't fall for it!)


Here are the links to this week's stories:

Catholic Priest allegedly told child he was raping that, "This is what God's love feels like."

Romney, Santorum and Gingrich all promise to ban pornography, in the process, lose all voter support.

Fox talking head says military women should expect to be raped.

Rick Santorum says that women are "capable of flying small planes." Why is he getting primary votes?

Restaurant owner kicks out anti-gay Tennessee Senator.

BioWare tells "straight male gamer" to get over it.
