In This Week’s Show, episode 214, we travel to the worst hotel for the worst date with the worst nuns at the worst conference for the worst ideas with the worst people.

Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while TaiTai (the Maori god of hunger) hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying his patience!

Shea’s Life Lesson

This week I learned that  people with beards are just people without beards with beards.

Jenn’s Actual Lesson

Did you know that scientists in Australia proved this year a weird phenomenon that Aborigines had long reported? Predatory birds known as ‘fire raptors’ (which actually includes at least 3 different species) have been starting dangerous bushfires intentionally by flying with lit branches in their beaks and talons. So, white folks have finally caught up to what Aboriginal peoples have been observing for approx. 40,000 yrs.

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

Dave the Ox, guzzling old Rasputin, at least at Christmastime. We look forward to your drunk dial and review!

Mystery WyoTexter - this episodes for you, here’s to hoping this day is better!

Congrats to the guys over at Vulgarity for Charity! They raised like a 120,000 fucking dollars for a good cause! Fun fact, if we could raise roughly the same amount for WyoAIDS they’d be able to provide assistance to every person in Wyoming with HIV/AIDS who is in need, so head over to WyoAIDS.org or click the donate widget on our website and help us out!

Well, that’s terrible… - http://bit.ly/2UHJc2n

So Ashley and I stayed at a B&B for her birthday recently. It was great! The owner even put a candle in her omelet. It was a nice surprise. On the other side of the hospitality coin are Faye and Andrew Stephens, whose son Alex died in 2014. Every year there've been traveling to a resort on his birthday as a remembrance. I'm guessing the resort had more resources than a little bnb because instead of a candle the couple's mother, (her mother) who planned the trip had asked for balloons and cake which they were happy to provide ahead of the three people's arrival. The house staff made a ... Well, it's a cake but it's not gonna win any baking contests. They tied a few generic party balloons to it and left flowers on the bed which spelled out "happy birthday Alex, we miss you" next to the cake...  Which was being helped by a full size, clothed, blackface effigy of Alex, with candy tears running down its nightmare-basement-doll-from-Jenn's-last-story face?

Mrs. Baker, who first discovered the effigy, said she was "utterly horrified" and removed the dummy before her friends saw it. "When I walked into the bedroom, all I can describe is a dummy body on the bed," she said "staff had gone through my friend's wardrobe and stuffed the clothes with towels to make it look like a body on the bed. They even put tears down the face and a can of lager in his hand.

"I was absolutely horrified - as you can imagine I was sweating and shaking. We just didn't want our friends to see it.

"I have truly never seen anything like it. I still look at the photographs now and can't believe somebody thought to do that", she said.
