It was a long night & we were all a little punchy by the end of the show, but we didn't want to leave the rebelutionaries without having anything from us this week. You're welcome.

We're all very busy for the next couple weeks so this episode is a bit shorter than usual, but it's still chock-full of blasphemous goodies. We even start a discussion about the existence of free will. Why Ted Cruz failed Mentally ill man trades meds for the Bible Only in the US does it matter if you're an elected official who also happens to be a Muslim North Carolina Governor, Pat McCrory, doubles down on his ignorant bigotry South Carolina has a "Stand Your Ground" law that leads to horrors F...

It's been a rough week at the Heathen Hacienda but we can't help thinking Ted Cruz dropping out of the race for POTUS is one of the best things ever. In this episode: Chaplin was a good dog Indonesians worship a blow-up doll God forgot he had anointed Ted Cruz as the next President of the United States The LDS Church does the very least it can to stop child predators in their ranks Tyler Glenn is PISSED OFF at the LDS Church Donald Trump is now the presumptive GOP nominee for POTUS Satanists dis...

Is everybody else as pissed off at all the trans* bashing going on as we are? It seems to be taking up the majority of all of the more recent news items. In this episode: It's a sad fact that people you trust will sometimes betray that trust Matt reads his "One Hate, Two Hate, Red State, Red State" poem BYU's Honor Code harms more than it helps Arkansas State Senator Jason Rapert is a gigantic asshole Atheists of Utah will be making a large donation to Planned Parenthood Pat Boone wants to make ...

The original plan for this week's episode was to cover the Democratic primary debate, but Dan screwed up the schedule because he forgot he had tickets to see Amy Schumer on the same night as the debate. Due to this scheduling mistake, Matt wasn't able to join us but Grant Larimer (A.K.A. The Purple Dragon) and Kyle Steenblik (from the Utah Outcasts podcast) were with us in-studio to talk about a variety of recent news items, including: BYU's dishonorable honor code SLC Mayor Jackie Biskupski ban...

Matt, Ryan and I (Dan) have been doing the show together for nearly two years now, and we had a fantastic time recording this milestone episode. We talked about some current events, responded to some listener feedback, and shared some old memories & sound clips from previous shows. We've come a long way over the last two years, and we really appreciate our awesome listener base. Thank you all for listening, for your feedback, your input, and for all of the words of encouragement we've receiv...

Matt, Dan, and Ryan are joined by Vicki Gettman, Rebekah McGraw, and Scott Smith who tell us all about the fantastic work they're doing to provide atheist and humanist services at Lackland AFB in Texas. They've had months of record-setting attendance for the services they offer in lieu of religious services for people entering the Air Force. They were wonderful guests, and we had a great time learning more about the all-volunteer services they offer to some of our military members. We also cover...

We're happy to offer our first bonus episode, recorded with Spike and Dan from the London based 2 Skeptical Chaps podcast. We had a lot of fun chatting about politics, geographical names, and the differing views & perceptions some people have about the United States and the United Kingdom. Spike's audio went a bit wonky during the episode, but he put in a lot of work to clean it up as much as possible. There are still a couple rough spots between 1:16:00 - 1:18:00, and 1:21:00 - 1:23:00, but...

This episode is a bit longer than last week because we had a few things we've been wanting to talk about or address, but that keep getting set aside to make room for debates and guests. We address some comments about episode 95 made by a listener via a blog post you can read here . Because the blog post seemed primarily aimed at Matt, he spent the better part of a week crafting his response during the little bit of spare time he has between work, regular prep for the show, family time, and a fre...

If you think the Catholic church has a monopoly on sexual abuse of its adherents, you're sadly mistaken. Mark Lawrence, the founder and director of Restore Our Humanity, joins us in-studio to talk about some of ROH's latest initiatives. Restore Our Humanity is once again blazing a trail to expose rampant sexual abuse within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. ROH is also setting up a support network for survivors of sexual abuse at the hands of spiritual leaders within the dysfuncti...

We start this episode with a quick(ish) recap of the March 3 Republican primary debate, which was the most ridiculous of them all. This was the debate where Trump basically said he has a big dick and kept referring to Marco Rubio as "little Marco." Taylor Grin joined us via Skype for complete coverage of the March 9 Democratic primary debate and provided some great insight into some of the things Hillary Clinton was saying. Bernie Sanders came out swinging and delivered quite a few sound bytes t...

It's been a long time since it was just the three of us with no guest and where we're not covering a debate. So it's about time, right? We cover a few news items and talk about a religious troll who decided to offer his wizdumb on a post on our Facebook page. We'll be covering the Democratic primary debate next week, and we've got a special bonus episode lined up with some friends across the pond. Stay tuned!

This was, by far, our favorite debate so far, but only because it turned into a total shit-show. The amount of mudslinging was EPIC. The field has been whittled down to just five Republican Candidates. Taking the stage tonight were Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, John Kasich, and Ben Carson. Because Super Tuesday happens next week, we probably won't be seeing Ben Carson (and perhaps John Kasich) on the debate stage again, so we celebrate Carsson's participation by playing a clip of Pastor J...

Doug Mesner (A.K.A. Lucien Greaves), spokesperson for The Satanic Temple, was kind enough to join us via Skype from a sushi bar in Cambridge. He's a great guest, and we had a lot of fun with him both on, and off, air. We covered a lot of topics, including: The Bundy yeehawdists' treatment of the "Lamanites" Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia takes a dirt nap Oklahoma is still trying very hard to get the Baphomet statue Ellen Lacter is a fraud who contributes to the death and suffering of count...

Ryan's schedule made him unavailable for this episode, so Megan dropped by the studio to chat with us & record some drops for the show (coming soon!).

It really doesn't feel like we've had five shows since the last Republican primary debate. The good(...?) news is that we'll be skipping the next one. Again, because the participants in the kids' table event are irrelevant at this point (just ask Rand Paul), we decided to skip that event entirely. We do give a brief overview of the most recent Democratic primary debate, so there's that. This debate was most notable for a moment between Ted Cruz and Donald Trump. Cruz tries to bash "New York valu...

We had a great time with Geoff Linville, a former Mormon, who joined us in-studio to tell us about his de-conversion story and life in Utah as an atheist. We also cover a few news stories, including one where Dan was interviewed to provide an atheist's perspective on the Provo Fire Department and Police Department purchasing commemorative badges featuring the new LDS temple in their city.

It's a brand-spanking new year, and we're kicking it off with a show where we've done a lot to improve on our already-great sound. We start this episode with a tip on how to really piss people off without even trying. From there, we take a trip through several recent news items, including coverage of the Y'allqaeda dipshits in Oregon.

We also make a couple big announcements about some exciting guests who will be appearing on the show in the next couple months (hint: at least one of the names mentioned rhymes with Blavid Killverman).

Matt, Dan, and Ryan slog through yet another debate - because we love you. There wasn't much drama in this debate. In fact, Dan tried to find some drama from Clinton but found out it doesn't really exist. He said she contradicted herself about having American troops on the ground but, after going back and listening to the audio again, Clinton said she wanted Arab & Kurdish troops on the ground - not American troops. Speaking of Dan creating drama, he drops a bomb about some past experiences ...

Matt, Dan, and Ryan are joined in-studio by former Atheists of Utah board member, Grant Larimer, for coverage of the fifth Republican party primary debate. Because the participants in the kids' table event are irrelevant at this point (and because we're tired of them), we decided to skip full coverage of the kids' table event. We watched portions of it and mention it briefly, but we spend a fair amount of time at the beginning of the show to let you know our current predictions. We also explain ...

Matt & Dan were in-studio and are joined by Ryan via Skype to go over several news items and some listener feedback.

Meg (Matt's mostly silent but nevertheless awesome sister) joins us in-studio to go over the second Democratic primary debate. Sanders stumbled on one of the questions, but nobody on stage seemed to notice Clinton justifying her cozy Wall Street ties... because 9/11. Speaking of going unnoticed, Martin O'Malley was on stage, and seemed to be there for the sole purpose of reminding the moderators when it was time for a commercial break.

Matt, Dan, and Ryan weigh in on the recent policy change enacted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (you know - the Mormons). The church's new policy bans all children from receiving blessings, ordinances, callings, and missions if they are living in a same-sex household until they are 18. At that time, children must disavow the practice of same-sex cohabitation or marriage, and they must stop living with their gay parent(s) in order to become a fully participating member or to m...

This allowed us some time to record another small(ish) show to talk about the LDS Church's recent policy change that is causing ...
