309 - He is Them

We hope that listeners in the U.S. had a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving and that everybody else had a good Thursday. Tracey cooked a Thanksgiving feast and is also cleaning it all up while Dan finishes editing the show - ON A HOLIDAY - for you, dear listener. Also, he may have had some Wild Turkey before/while editing, so any errors in the final release will be blamed squarely on the alcohol. Trump's cult still hasn't come to grips with his election loss, and they're losing their tiny minds abo...

308 - A Relatively Relaxed Relationship with the Truth

Mitt Romney proved he's got a better sense of humor and more of a spine (barely) than most of his Republican cohorts during an interview with Jake Tapper over the weekend, so we figured we'd give him some props by titling this episode based on his humorous assessment of Donald Trump. Also, Trump's favorite goon lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, planned a press conference event at the luxurious Four Seasons. His plans went hilariously off the rails (as so many plans from Trump and his allies do), because wh...

307 - How'd It Go?

This episode was recorded two days before the November 3rd election day in the United States. We're pretty confident Biden will win, but who really knows what's going to happen when you're dealing with a candidate as chaotic and crooked as Donald J. Trump? During the Patreon portion of the show, we call bullshit on Glenn Beck's recent claim about having a prophetic dream, about which he says "we are in a spiritual battle against evil unleashed. We are not fighting the Democrats; we are fighting ...

306 - Oh, Pat...

Pat Robertson says he had a chat with the creator of the universe and was told that "it's a given" that Trump will win re-election. We hope he's wrong, but hey - he's got God on his side.

305 - He Got... Better...?

The Orange Menace survived his bout of COVID-19. He's back, now with 40% more orange makeup and at least 80% more menace. He's been spouting off nonsense about being immune and that people don't need to worry about the coronavirus, which means he's going to get even more people killed. The good news is that we've seen recent headlines alerting us to the fact that there are several verified cases of people becoming reinfected, and at least two cases of people dying after becoming infected the sec...

304 - Trump is Their New God

Donald Trump's base of hardcore supporters no longer view him only as the President of the United States. For them, he has become a messiah. They no longer simply think highly of him, they worship and adore him. We can only hope that this will be their downfall.

303 - Redpillman

David Silverman is a clown. Specifically, he is a boorish and ignorant assclown who should never be taken seriously or looked to for any kind of atheist or humanist ideals. To say that we have been disappointed in his behavior that led to him being fired from American Atheists - and his more recent abhorrent statements regarding George Floyd, the Black Lives Matter movement, and feminism - would be an understatement akin to us saying we think Donald Trump might not be the best choice for Preside...

302 - Kenosha

Kyle Rittenhouse took the lives of two innocent people because Donald Trump's mendacious, careless, and violent rhetoric led him to travel from Illinois to Wisconsin to "protect" empty businesses with his big, bad, murder machine. And as awful as this week has been, we're sorry to say that things are only going to get worse until Trump is out of office.

301 - Bannon's Busted

"Sloppy" Steve Bannon has been arrested (along with three others) and charged with defrauding donors to the "We Build the Wall" GoFundMe campaign. We can't begin to tell you how much this pleases us. For more of our coverage of "Sloppy" Steve, be sure to check out episodes 151 and 152. Taylor Grin provided us with a metric fuckton of research information on Bannon and his nativist views.

299 - America's Frontline "Doctors"

Trump's stupidity is matched (and often surpassed) by those who support him. The recent appearance of the batshit crazy group "America's Frontline Doctors" (and the subsequent show of support for them from Trump) is the most recent reminder of just how stupid the President of the United States is, but we're sure he'll do at least three equally stupid things before we record the next episode. Speaking of the next episode, it's going to be number 300! We're planning to do a Q&A / AMA, so pleas...

The Racism of Ancient Aliens with Megan Kennedy (Rebroadcast)

We'll be recording an all-new episode tomorrow and publishing it early next week. In the meantime, this seems like the perfect opportunity to rebroadcast one of our favorite episodes from a little over a year ago with the fabulous Megan Kennedy. #BlackLivesMatter ================================ We were delighted to have Megan join us again in-studio to talk about the implicit racism of the notion that ancient aliens provided substantial support to some of humanity's earliest civilizations.

When it comes to how we are handling the coronavirus pandemic, the United States is literally the very worst country on the face of the planet. So much for American exceptionalism, right?

295 - Drew Brees Finally Gets It

Matt was called away for a family thing right before we started recording, but Ryan and Dan battled through some technical issues to bring this latest episode to your earholes. Drew Brees made some incredibly ignorant, insensitive, and inflammatory remarks during a recent interview. He was then excoriated in the press, by other high-profile athletes, and by some of his own teammates. The "apology" he first issued wasn't much better than his initial remarks. Dan was set to light into Brees before...

The murder of George Floyd in the middle of the street in broad daylight by four Minneapolis police officers rocked the nation. Protests and riots have spread and are continuing in every state and in hundreds of cities throughout the country. The protests against police brutality and racism are even happening in several other nations around the world. As is his wont, Donald Trump is only making things worse while he struts around after gassing protesters in Lafayette Square so he could awkwardly...

293 - Wear a Mask, Karen!

We're shocked - SHOCKED! - to learn that conservatives are trying to abuse the Americans with Disabilities Act so they don't have to wear masks in public spaces. They seem to think it's perfectly fine to discriminate against members of the LGBTQ community, but if they're told they have to wear a mask in Costco, they start screaming about sheeple and tyranny.

As Americans are being thrust back into the economic grinder during a pandemic, tons of right-wing assholes are causing a lot of grief for everybody else.

"A question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. And I think you said you’re going to test that too. Sounds interest...

We're back! Well… pretty much, anyway. There was no show last week because we're doing the whole "social distancing" thing and Dan was having a hard time sorting out some audio issues. He finally got things figured out enough to limp this episode across the finish line, but the audio isn't great. We'll continue to work on that while we work together to flatten that curve.

What happens when a viral outbreak threatens the citizens of your country and the person leading your country has demonstrated that nobody can believe anything they say? Apparently, you get people hoarding toilet paper & hand sanitizer, and churches changing how they handle communion and holy water. We also talk about the recent kerfuffle at BYU when LGBTQ students believed, for a brief moment, that the LDS Church was finally going to treat them as equals. Some lessons are harder than others...
