In This Week’s Show, episode 215, we’re getting our game faces on early so that we record four shows, three bottles of wine, 4 special beers, and a Big Gay Jim in the studio!

Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while Ta Tanka (the Great Buffalo Spirit of Native American plains tribes) hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying his patience!

Shea’s Life Lesson

This week I learned that Vic's vapor rub is just spicy vasoline

Jenn’s Actual Lesson

Ladies, did you know that Ta Tanka is the patron of ceremonies, health, and provisions, and is the primary guardian of young women and women during menstruation? So when it’s that time of the month just let people know you’re having a visit from Aunt Buffaflo.

Round Table Discussion

A quick announcement about the holidays…

This week’s show is being recorded on more or less our usual production schedule. And so is 4 More Beers episode 26 for Patrons. Actually, we’re recording that a little later today… and… then we’re going to record 216 and 217. This will be the first time we’ve ever recorded so much in advance of the airdate but the holidays can be a busy time for four people to get together on the weekly and then have homework as well. We’ve done our homework extra well and I think the next few shows will be just what you want to have stuck in your stockings… yeah. But we won’t have new patron, email, or voicemail announcements in the next few episodes because those things will happen in the future, as of now, but the past when you hear those shows. Confused? You won’t be after this episode of Waiting 4 Wrath…

New patrons Kevin, his brother David and his other brother David.

Still the best

HL1 - Steve Lines Are Back!

There’s an entity in the US called The American Center for Law and Justice. At first glance, this sounds like it would be a good thing, working to ensure that our constitutional rights are being protected and fighting for the “little guy”. But this is Waiting 4 Wrath, and that’s not the kind of thing we talk about is it? No, this piece of shit organization was founded by Pat Robertson as a conservative watchdog group. Notice how their initials are eerily similar to the ACLU, which is not an accident. They’re known for losing such grandstanding bullshit cases as supporting prayer during sporting events, supporting a student who was denied a scholarship to study religion and trying to get rid of buffer zones around abortion clinics.

Well, now they’ve turned their efforts to prevent children from learning to handle stress, calm down, and concentrate on school work. Evil. Evil I tell you. The program in question is mostly based on Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, a scientifically-validated program developed by clinicians, in which audio recordings are used to guide students through stress-reduction practices. The problem, you see, is that it looks like Buddhist meditation and not like bowing your head and ...
