In This Week’s Show, episode 168, we put our brain-smarteners on and have an Olympic-level laugh at the ghost of Captain Jack doing shots off Opera’s ass.

Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while Morpheus (the Greek god of dreams, and god of teaching you Kung-foo)  hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying his patience!

Shea’s Life Lesson

This week I learned that when people tell me i'm going to regret that in the morning I sleep till noon, because i'm a problem solver.

Jenn’s Actual Lesson

Did you know that Morpheus is often depicted as lying on a bed made of ebony, in a dim cave, surrounded by poppies?

But before we get to all that, let’s have a beer!

Amazing Podcast. Its so hilarious without being pretentious. Always makes me laugh.

Follow-up from Jenn’s story from a year ago: In episode 114 we talked about Jeanette Epps, a female astronaut who was slated to be the first African American crew member aboard the International Space Station.

* Amanda Teague has ditched real-life men for a ghost - and legally married her 18th-century spiritual lover. Like any normal couple, Amanda and her husband Jack Teague go on dates, have arguments and even have sex - despite the fact he died almost 300 years ago. And amazingly, Amanda even hired a registrar and journeyed into international waters so she could legally marry him - using a spiritual medium to allow him to say 'I do' during the ceremony.

"If I am going to be in a long-term relationship with somebody I have the right to be married. "I wanted the big traditional wedding with the white dress, it was very important to me." Amanda found a Shaman priest and legal registrar who agreed to marry t...
