Naked Diner

Furry J. Ackermonster is this week’s guest on the Naked Diner. He’s a yeti and stars on the Amazon Prime show ‘Transylvania TV.’ Here’s how Transylvania TV (https://www.transylvania-tv.com/) describes the show: “In a spooky castle in the Carpathians lives a motley band of misfit monsters, doing their best not to kill each other as they try to run a television station. Problem is, this station is powered by the infamous Frankenstein Device. Invented by that notorious doctor decades before, it’s capable of resurrecting dead TV shows. By all means, put in that tape of Star Trek, but you’re never quite sure what you’re going to get on the other side.” Furry J. Ackermonster talks about his coworkers at Transylvania TV, workplace safety issues, as well as his family in Monstersotta. We also talk about Jumpstarter and some mistakes the monsters made while conducting their fundraising campaign. This is a fun episode! Please upvote the video and subscribe to the channel!

If you’re involved in The Satanic Temple (TST), then you may already know about our guest, Stu De Haan. Stu appeared in the documentary movie “Hail Satan?” He was once a national council member of TST and since stepped down to focus on the legal battles that organization is waging against Christian extremism. Stu and cohost of the Naked Diner Jack Matirko just started a show on TST’s streaming service, Satan TV. Their show is called The Devil’s Dispatch. It airs once every two weeks. Here is the description of the show: “The Devil’s Dispatch is a biweekly news and talk show bringing you updates about the goings-on in The Satanic Temple and interviews with Satanists nation-wide.” Stu talks about the progress of two legal battles TST is currently waging. He also reflects on what he is learning in the courtroom and how future TST tactics may change. Oh, and I bet you were wondering if we talked about Stu’s band? Of course, we did. Stu talks about a new addition to the group and answers the age-old question, “Is there a point when you age out of being in the mosh pit?” This is another great Naked Diner interview where we mix humor with serious topics.

YouTuber Steve Shives is our guest this week on the Naked Diner. Steve’s been on YouTube since 2010. His channel is all about Star Trek, politics, comedy, and atheism. Before Steve comes on, Jack and Andy talk about The Satanic Temple’s streaming service – Satan TV ( https://thesatanictemple.tv/ ) . Jack and Stu De Haan host a biweekly (and that’s every other week, thank you very much) show all about what’s going on in the satanic community. It’s called The Devil’s Dispatch. It’s a fun and informative show! Andy talks about his weight loss journey. He’s down 12 pounds. Currently, he’s using Weight Watchers, and everything is going well. His blood pressure no longer high. And that’s a good thing. Steve, Jack Matirko, and Andy Hall (hey, that’s me!) cover a lot of topics in this conversation. – Is being a fan of Star Trek a political statement? (And what’s going on with those replicators?) – Advice for people just getting started on YouTube. – His ‘Atheist Reads’ series. – A time Steve helped to change someone’s mind, and situations when Steve changed his mind. – And that “one word.”
