In This Week’s Show, episode 184 we stock up on blood-infused homeopathic vodka before we journey straight into the manosphere.

Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while Taranis (the Celtic skygod and warlord) hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying his patience!

Shea’s Life Lesson

This week I learned the difference between a good meal and a good time is where you put the cucumber.

Jenn’s Actual Lesson

Did you know Taranis’ name means ‘Thundered’ and is often compared with Roman Jupiter? He was sometimes appeased by human sacrifices where his victims were placed in giant wickerwork figures and burned alive. So, ya know, Wicker Man.

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

A San Diego judge suspended the medical license of psychiatrist Dr. Marco Chavez this week after he admitted that he drank 16 ozs of vodka and cloves - which is absolutely what you drink when you’re subconsciously punishing yourself - before seeing patients he helped with things like depression, alcoholism, and tragic irony. The medical board first became concerned with Chavez in 2017 when he mailed a patient their prescription and an empty bottle of vodka - which one assumes he chivalrously drank lest it interact with her meds. What followed was a series of warning signs… like the results of state audits and his mother telling him vodka and clove is a “home remedy” for alcoholism, in the hopes that it would be fowl enough to curb his drinking.

It was not.

Deadly Homeopathy?

There’s a trend among some of the world’s stupid people where instead of vaccinating their pets, they are turning to “homeopathic nosodes.” How exactly can homeopathic “medicine” be dangerous when it’s by definition literally just water? Well, A nosode “is a homeopathic remedy prepared from a pathological specimen. The specimen is taken from a diseased animal or person and may consist of saliva, pus, urine, blood, or diseased tissue.” If the product is prepared “properly” to a dilution of at least 30C, then it will contain NO molecules of the original product and will therefore not be dangerous, but if it isn’t and does contain some of the original there’s a real chance of infecting the target animal. Mostly though, this practice just means that fewer animals will be vaccinated and at risk for easily preventable diseases.

And no, I'm not talking about the 50 dead and thousand wounded this weekend. While lacing up a diplomatic mission to Israel, Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe and his wife beat feet to an honorary dinner in Jerusalem... served in a shoe. Apparently thinking he was cooking for the Top Chef Avant Garde challenge, celebrity Israeli chef Segev Moshe thought "fuck it, I'm gonna make this as insulting as possible" and served dessert in an iron shoe. The move caused a stink among Japanese dignitaries who were more offended than most given Japan’s cultural disdain for footwear being anywhe...
