If you "ban" a controversial "therapy" used almost exclusively by religious zealots, and then you say religious zealots can continue doing the thing you've banned, what have you actually done? Aaron Rodgers lost his chance at another Superbowl appearance, so now he hates God.
Dan has weird conversations sometimes, and sometimes we like to share them with our listeners. Which poop would you eat? The impeachment trial for the Worst President Ever begins this week, and there's close to zero chance he'll be removed from office despite all of the evidence we've seen so far, including Lev Parnas' interview with Rachel Maddow. Also, Utah's Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox is kind of a dummy for comparing abortion to slavery. At least he's not as bad as the current Governor - maybe. *~*...
After withdrawing the United States from the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), we weren't sure what he could do to fuck up relations more than he already had - until last week when he decided to have the second-most important person in Iran killed. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Friend of the show and all-around great person, Brandy Hamrick was, unfortunately, recently diagnosed with cancer.

The title for this episode is brought to you by Ryan, of course. ;-) Catching up after the holidays and covering some of the more insane parts of Trumplandia over the last couple weeks. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Friend of the show and all-around great person, Brandy Hamrick was, unfortunately, recently diagnosed with cancer.

Finally! It happened! The Orange Menace has been impeached! There won't be a regular show next week, but we'll be releasing - for Patreon patrons only - the audio of the phone call Dan had with his semen donor that led to Dan being disowned by said donor. If you're not a Patreon patron and would still like to hear the audio, you can send us a message at godlessrebelution@gmail.com with a copy of your donation to Brandy's GoFundMe campaign. We'll send a reply with a link to the episode/call audio...
We were hoping to be able to announce the conclusion of proceedings in the House Judiciary Committee while recording, but Nadler threw a curveball that left Republicans reeling. It was a thing of beauty, really. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Friend of the show and all-around great person, Brandy Hamrick was, unfortunately, recently diagnosed with cancer.

Te Bu appeared in several of our very early episodes of the show, but he decided to abandon us for the sunny shores of Okinawa a while ago. He was in town for the holiday, and we were able to talk him into joining us in-studio so we could catch up with him on how life half-way around the world is working out. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Friend of the show and all-around great person, Brandy Hamrick was, unfortunately, recently diagnosed with cancer.

If Republicans pull their heads out of their asses long enough to grow a spine, Trump will be removed from office. We should all be doing our level best to give them all the lube they need. There won't be a show next week, but we hope you have a great holiday! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Friend of the show and all-around great person, Brandy Hamrick was, unfortunately, recently diagnosed with cancer.

In case the title of this week's show didn't give it away, Dan has been disowned by his father following their phone call on November 6th. 'Tis the season for religious assholes to feel picked on, right? *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Friend of the show and all-around great person, Brandy Hamrick was, unfortunately, recently diagnosed with cancer.

We feel incredibly fortunate to present this episode with an interview of our special guest, Brandy Hamrick. She joined us to talk about leaving religion behind, her recent cancer diagnosis, and her efforts to seek effective care while navigating the murky waters of America's broken healthcare system. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Friend of the show and all-around great person, Brandy Hamrick was, unfortunately, recently diagnosed with cancer.

Dan is flying solo for this episode where he goes over a lot of listener feedback and highlights a news story that may have a huge impact on the impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Friend of the show and all-around great person, Brandy Hamrick was, unfortunately, recently diagnosed with cancer.

Donald Trump offers further evidence that he is the stupidest president in the history of the United States by stating that he will build a big, beautiful wall on the southern border of Colorado, presumably because he doesn't know the difference between the state of New Mexico and the country of Mexico. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Friend of the show and all-around great person, Brandy Hamrick was, unfortunately, recently diagnosed with cancer.

Here's the audio of Dan's first formal debate. The audio isn't terrific, but we've done what we could to clean it up a bit. This is a BONUS episode and Patrons will NOT be charged for it. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Friend of the show and all-around great person, Brandy Hamrick was, unfortunately, recently diagnosed with cancer.

Matt is still in the UK, so Dan & Ryan sit down to talk about Dan's first formal debate. Debating presuppositionalists is an adventure in frustration, and there are a lot of things Dan learned which can be improved moving forward, but it went fairly well. We'll be releasing the audio of the debate as a standalone episode, but you can also find the video on YouTube at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTwhmUXdab0 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Friend of the show and all-around g...

We know it's hard to believe, but some religious people actually believe that Harry Potter spells will summon demons.

Sorry for the delay in getting this out to you! Dan's planning & strategy meeting with Dr. Clark for our upcoming debate ran quite a bit longer than expected and pushed editing back a day. Ryan was out having fun (we assume), but Matt & Dan were in studio to rage and laugh at Ted Cruz, Anne Graham Lotz, POTUS, and Todd Starnes. We also offered high praise for Beto O'Rourke's comment on guns during the most recent Democratic debate. Friend of the show and all-around great person, Brandy H...
We were delighted to have Christine Stenquist sit down with us in-studio. She is the founder and Executive Director for TRUCE (Together for Responsible Use and Cannabis Education) and has been a tireless advocate for the medicinal use of cannabis in Utah. Christine is also the person most responsible for the passage of Proposition 2 last year, but the fight isn't over; Utah's legislators, under pressure from the LDS Church, have been working to water-down the proposition to the point of uselessn...
We're back from our (longer than expected) break! Dan screwed up and forgot to bring the audio he and Matt recorded with him to Puerto Vallarta, so he wasn't able to edit it and get a show out last week, but that audio is included in this episode. It might be a bit confusing, but it is what it is. Friend of the show and all-around great person, Brandy Hamrick was, unfortunately, recently diagnosed with cancer. She had to have a large section of her colon removed, got a stoma, and also had a port...
Republicans (and some Democrats) have done a great job of convincing a lot of people that privatization is the answer to a lot of America's problems, but they haven't adequately explained how privatizing things like prisons or our healthcare system actually provide a benefit for anyone except the fatcats at the top of the corporate food chain. In this episode we learn that Ryan hates mayonnaise, boiled eggs, and vegetables, Ed Smart announces that he is gay, the Chrisley family has been charged ...
Nico Gonzalez is a former Jehovah's Witness and is the content creator for the "Conversations with God" podcast. He's also a newly-minted atheist within the last year. He joined us via Skype to talk about his faith transition and the upcoming release of his own podcast where he'll be exploring the answer to the question of "What would you do if you were God?" We also cover the puzzling case of what to think about Boris Johnson, a poisonous snake escaped from the Bronx Zoo, Dan & Tracey's pre...
Listener Basilis sent us a couple news items about a Bishop in Cyprus who thinks homsexuality is caused by pregnant women having anal sex. From there, we move on to our hopes and theories about the impeachment process before ending the show with Trump questioning Fox News' loyalty, and Marco Rubio & Rick Santorum advocating for theocracy in the United States.

If you're in the market for a brilliant podcast which features the dulcet tones of a British expat who now lives in Australia and records his conversations with an invisible sky wizard who is worshiped by the majority of our planet's inhabitants, boy howdy do we have some great news for you! Tony, the host (co-host, technically...?) of the Conversations with God Podcast , joined us for an interview to talk about the impetus for starting the show. He was also kind enough to put us in contact with...
Tyson McCauley (A.K.A. Captain Samples) is a former Mormon and a Patreon supporter of the show. He joined us in-studio to talk about leaving the LDS Church and coming out as gay. He has also recently started identifying as an atheist. We had a great time chatting with him, and we're sure you're going to have an equally grand time listening to the discussion! We've also got a mini "What Matters" segment this week toward the end of the show! Patreon supporters get nearly 30 extra minutes of the sh...
With its history of sexual predation by those in positions of power, it seems like a really bad idea for the LDS Church to lower the age of children who are "interviewed" by their local Bishop. But, based on a new survey they've sent to members, it looks like that's exactly what they plan to do. Our Patreon patrons get a peek behind the curtain this week while we talk to the host of the Conversations with God podcast to set up his appearance on an upcoming show. Patreon subscribers get early acc...
Dan is a bit short on time this week, so the show notes are a bit sparse, but you know the drill - we cover a lot of news and clips this week, along with a correction thanks to some listener feedback. There's also a special shoutout for one of our favorite supporters and collaborators - someone we're truly happy to call a friend.

We weren't planning to cover the debate, but we were recording while it was on & we all wanted to watch it, so we decided we might as well watch it with all of you! Biden's performance was abysmal, and we're fine with that. The sooner he can get knocked off the stage, the better. Kamala Harris had a very strong showing, as did Pete Buttigieg, Bernie Sanders, Kirsten Gillibrand, and even Michael Bennet. Eric Swalwell and Marianne Williamson will (hopefully) be dropping out after the next deba...

Mike Norton (A.K.A. NewNameNoah) joined us via Skype for an extensive discussion about the hullabaloo surrounding McKenna Denson. For those who are unfamiliar with McKenna Denson, she made national headlines early last year when she came forward with allegations that Joseph Bishop sexually assaulted and/or raped her in the basement of the LDS Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah decades ago while he was serving as head of the MTC. There have been many twists and turns to this story, the lat...
