Waiting 4 Wrath

In This Week’s Show, episode 199, Jim joins us to de-woo some woo and quiz the panel on whatever Shea did. He won’t tell us. It’s not in the notes. Cross your fingers.

Shea’s Life Lesson

This week I learned that in Disney’s 2004 princess diaries 2: the royal engagement Stan Lee made a cameo which indicates that Princess Diaries is a part of the Marvel comic universe. Therefore it's a reasonable assumption than Mia Thermopolis, Princess of Genovia could defeat Thanos in the next film.

Jim’s Good Gay News

Did you know that circa WW2, asking if you were a “friend of Dorothy” was a common way to find out if someone was playing for your team? It was used for decades and in the 80’s, Naval Intelligence thought there was an actual woman named Dorothy who was at the center of a gay underground. Really they just needed to dangle Anthony Dinizzo

Steve - Do you love eggs? I personally am a big fan. When my wife doesn’t cook, there’s a good chance that I’m having eggs for lunch, dinner, whatever. However, there’s a limit, and a proper way to consume the eggs. Apparently, there’s a new way to go about it. First, take some GHB, or Gamma-hydroxybutyrate. Then boil a ton of eggs. Peel the eggs. And finally, shove all 15 freshly boiled eggs up your own arse. An unidentified man from the Netherlands did just this, and when he began feeling “unwell”, went to a hospital. The doctors suspected abdominal sepsis (no shit), so after a CT scan showed a perforation of the pelvic colon, they went in, cleaned him out, and he lived to stuff another day. http://bit.ly/2wybi4O

Aaron - None. Nun of your damn business that’s what!

Kind of a sad story… but also, what the hell were you thinking? Denise Woodrum, 51, is a nun of the Blood of Christ - a sect of vowed Catholic women - pled guilty to hooker boots full of coke. At a difficult part of her life, some online creep called Cornelius had begun flirting with her online. After a bit of time, the e-trist turned into her visiting him in Australia… by way of Texas, South America, Trinidad, and Tobago, then it was off to the Auzie-land, where, unfortunately for her and I assume the drug runners who tricked her, she was arrested because the weird platform heels a stranger gave her were full of fucking cocaine. So, I guess, don’t take random gifts from strangers on a plane, they even have warnings about that on the PA. And, I suppose, if you’re a nun don’t try to hide drugs in stripper boots… they tend to stand out among your other … habits.

Shea- Ramen Ninjas!

Police in Georgia are looking for some crooks who made off with nearly $100,000 worth of Ramen Noodles. My first question I how big was the fucking truck! Deputies in Fayette County say the thieves stole the 53-foot trailer packed with the noodles about two weeks ago, Fox 5 Atlanta reports. The theft is just one of a string of thefts deputies believe are related. The driver of the truck estimated there were $98,000 worth of noodles in the back; if a 48 pack of ramen costs 8 bucks at Sam's club then the thieves made off with approximately 600,000 packets of the sodium filled noodles. No word on anyone in town is suffering from hyponatremia or salt poisoning.

Aaron -  Sports!

Recently world-renowned runner of competitions Corey Bellemore ran a competition. He again proved himself worthy of his legendary status by shattering his own world record of a 4:33 mile by a whopping 9 seconds at this year’s event in Vancouver. Unfortunately, his new record was short-lived as officials disqualified him giving the win to British runner Dale Clutterbuck with a time of 4:50 reported Runner’s World, who first covered the “unspecified bottle violation”. “When race officials measured the remaining [beer] in the cans and bottles of the 20 competitors, they found that three runners, including Bellemore, had more than the permitted amount left over.

In This Week’s Show, episode 197, we choke on nachos still laughing at Alex Jones crazy Affluenza.

Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while Nachigai (the earth goddess of Central Asia) hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying her patience!

Shea’s Life Lesson

This week I learned that “take out” means food, dating, and murder.

Florida woman arrested after running through park naked believing to be chaste (chased) by giant spiders. Danielle Teeples, 40, had recently used crack, spice and crystal meth. No word on if she took enough to be able to fold a starship through space. She stated she believed a giant spider was on her so she took her clothes off to get away from it. She is currently in jail facing charges of exposure of sexual organs.

Steve - How about a life sentence? In a shocking and sad testament to zealotry, a young couple in Michigan relied on god to keep their 10-month-old baby alive. Sadly god did nothing and the baby died of severe malnutrition. The parents, Tatiana Elena Fusari and Seth Michael Welch, both 27, said they were aware of the child’s low weight and skinny appearance for about a month, but did nothing. Fearing that CPS would take their other children and citing a lack of trust in medicine, they apparently just chose to allow the child to die rather than intervene. Now, they’ve both been charged with first-degree murder, they lost their other children, and they face life in prison w/o the possibility of parole. http://bit.ly/2MiVldI

Shea- They're after his booty

A man in a pirate mask, complete with a fake eye patch, beard, and parrot, is suspected of stealing a safe from a Cornelius business last month, according to the Washington County Sheriff's Office. More than $4,000 in cash was believed to be inside. Deputies reviewed surveillance footage and saw the man enter the business after hours. He wore a T-shirt only across his shoulders and held a fire extinguisher. Now deputies serving the small city are asking for help finding the costumed suspect, dubbed the "Masked Pirate" burglar. No word on whether they will make him walk the plank or keelhaul him.

Steve - What do you think of when I say, “little blue pill”? (responses). Boners are usually the response that one would expect. Now, research at Columbia University in New York suggests that in addition to that nice firm stiffy one can get from Viagra, it has also been shown effective in treating age-related macular degeneration, which is a leading cause of blindness. The disease is caused by a growth of new blood vessels in the eye which eventually block the macula leading to a severe decrease in visual acuity. The small study showed that Viagra helps with the underlying issue which, as one would expect, is reduced of blood flow in an area of the eye. Viagra is good at improving blood flow.

In This Week’s Show, episode 196, Jenn comes back to help us stem the tide of bad people, bad medical advice, and bad hosting!

Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while Hairy Jack (the spectral black dog of Lincolnshire) hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying his patience!

Shea’s Life Lesson

Today I learned that according to Japanese legend when you can't sleep at night it's because you are awake.

Jenn’s Actual Lesson

Did you know that Hairy Jack (AKA Black Shuck), has been sited dating back to 1577? He’s about the size of a calf, with a shaggy fur, and has saucer-shaped eyes that blaze red or green in the dark. Others say he appears as a gigantic dog with a single blazing eye in the center of his forehead, and others as completely headless.

In a move that shocked the internet — only insofar as it’s finally happening, that is — tech giants Apple, YouTube, Facebook, Spotify, and basically everywhere else sexier people are subscribed to us… less sexy people will no longer be able to subscribe to Alex Jones. Taking to the internet earlier this week Jones posted angrily about the internet was censoring him and his First Amendment rights, probably, and the Deep State almost certainly… What? I’m not actually gonna read the garbled mess of could-have-been thoughts he scrawled on the margins of the internet like so much cyber-shit! Life’s too short. Some have heralded the banning as the beginnings of a slippery slope. A slope that ends in private companies removing disinformation and anti-fact filth because it makes them look bad and us stupider… In related news apparently Slip n Slides aren’t fun but are, in fact, facioust (of course, now I can't fix this because they called it out on the show). control devices of our secular-but-also-Jewish, socialist-but-also-communist, lizards-but-also-5th-dimensional-energy-beings, ancient-but-also-super-advanced, clandestine-illuminate-public-figures.

Steve - You may have noticed that Jenn posted a story on our Facebook page about a jackass harassing a bison in Yellowstone this last week. Said jackass is one, 55-year-old Raymond Reinke of Pendleton, Oregon who, in a stunning display of stupidity, got arrested twice and cited in three national parks inside a week. Beginning July 28 at Grand Teton NP, he was cited for being drunk and disorderly and spent the night in the Teton County jail and released on a $500 bond that required him to avoid alcohol. Then, continuing his antics, he proceeded to Yellowstone NP, where on July 31 he was cited for not wearing a seat ...

A California Church Plans to Open Its Own Brewery, Serving Beer During Services

http://bit.ly/2n5MbC7

From listener Marce - Yes. That is a Greater Purpose…

The Greater Purpose Community Church — where everyone knows your name and they’re always glad you came — was looking for a temporary building (not sure why) but they took up in a food lounge that had beer taps already installed. “There’s nothing in the bible that says you can’t drink alcohol in a responsible manner,” [Pastor Chris] VanHall said, and with that, beer during sermons was ok’ed, and I gotta say, if I have to go, a pint sure would help the medicine go down…

Best of all the new churches beer profits will be donated somewhere in the 30-60% range depending on costs to local charities run outside the church. Which is pretty cool all things considered.

CDC Reminds America To Stop Reusing Condoms - http://bit.ly/2LPYbX9

Via Ask Men the CDC would like to remind penny-pinching guys out there that of all the things to save a buck on, condoms are not it! Simply put, condoms are single use and trying to reuse them makes you dumb and gross. Unless you’re a marooned on Lian Yu and your only access to contraception is the Texas-sized mass of plastic trash floating in the ocean… and frankly, even then… condoms are meant to be tossed after the first — and only — use! Seriously, of all the things the CDC has to worry about these days, from vaccine preventable outbreaks to the looming threat atomically-mutated super spiders, reminding people not to try to reuse a love-glove is an embarrassing testament to our society. If you’re really having a hard time wrapping your sausage visit cdc.gov, your local Planned Parenthood (while locations last), condomfinder.org, or a WyoAIDS social event, at which condoms are distributed freely and often with lollipops!

Surprising exactly no one who isn’t a credulous woo, a recent study shows that, “Cancer patients who choose alternative medicine over standard, proven cancer treatments are more likely to die.” Dr. James Yu of the Yale Cancer Center and his team looked at the medical records of nearly 2 million patients and found that cancer patients have unrealistic views of the value of complementary therapy (a really nice way of saying bullshit), believing it will prolong life and a third expecting it to cure the disease. Dr. Yu understands, “If you could cure cancer with baking soda, who wouldn’t want to do that? Or if you could cure cancer with healing power crystals or positive thinking, who wouldn’t want that?

This podcast really tickles my fancy. It honestly feels like going out for a some drinks and wings with my friends from college. The podcast mostly covers just silly stories of almost every angle, whether it be pseudoscience, history of stupidity, religion, politics or just a large supply of cheese (with a dbz or full metal joke thrown in for fun). The podcast does bend left (so do I), so be warned of that.

ln hotshot news today, recent clinical trials of necklaces-that-make-you-bulletproof came to a screeching halt when Chinaka Adoezuwe, 26, offered to prove the efficacy of his by allowing a would-be buyer to shoot him. He’s dead now.

Apparently, this is a booming industry. Another “traditional” bulletproof-er died earlier this year the same way. So popular are these charms in Nigeria that even the police wear them. Many admitted to having more confidence in being protected "the traditional way," anon quote “even my wife knows about the charm and we are both Christians. She does not complain because at the end of the day, she does not want me to lose my life facing armed robbers. There is nothing wrong with double protection,” one officer told the publication.

Steve - Eat nuts to improve your nut? Apparently, there is a general decline in sperm counts across the Western world linked to pollution, smoking, and diet. The BBC is reporting in a story which doesn’t mention the source, that a study shows that adding nuts to your diet can improve the health of your sperm. The nuts in question consist of two ounces of mixed almonds, hazelnuts, and walnuts daily in addition to the regular diet of the 119 healthy male participants aged 18-35. As with all limited study’s, experts caution against thinking that this could apply generally across populations and just becoming healthier generally is probably the best way to shoot a better load. http://bit.ly/2KSI62n

Driving down the sidewalk, he managed to run over two people and graze another, but don’t worry, he wasn’t really trying to kill anyone, just “to injure.” See, he was tired of working in the cafeteria at McMenamins Anderson school, so “I had to change something in my life, so I hit three people with my car,” and now he’s on his way to jail where he’s looking forward “spending a few years in a room.”

Steve - Stork brings more than a child. A polish charity learned the hard way that using a cell phone tracker to keep tabs on the movement of a stork can get very expensive. “Radio Poland” an ecological group had put a cell tracker on a stork to monitor its migratory movements, but some 3700 miles from Poland in South Sudan, they lost track of it. Well, someone in Sudan got a hold of the tracker and moved it’s SIM to another phone and made over 20 hours of calls, the $2700 bill of which is the charity’s responsibility. http://bit.ly/2KPNGC2

Right in the mangoes!

http://bit.ly/2KLYPnk

Nashik municipal Corp (NMC - a regulatory board as best as I can tell) has sent a “show cause notice” to Sambhaji Bhide — a right-wing activist and fruit fucker — to prove his claims that eating his mangoes will make you have a boy child… which is especially impressive if you’re infertile. According to Sambhaji “If a couple wants a male child they will have it after eating these mangoes. This mango is useful for those facing infertility," adding that 150 of 180 couples who’ve eaten his mangos now have kids… so, two things, 1, he doesn’t seem to be selling a lot of mangoes, and 2, per the local government, publish the names and fucking prove it.

Steve - Say Cheese! Lots and lots and lots of cheese as a matter of fact. Right now, the US has the most cheese stockpiled since record keeping began in 1917; 1.385 Billion pounds as a matter of fact.

In This Week’s Show, episode 190, we’re back from Copper Mountain – whose Grilled Cheese event didn’t include grilled or cheese – to triangulate Russian condom bombs.

Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, whileTereteth(the Micronesian goddess of coconut toddies) hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying her patience!

Shea’s Life Lesson -

This week I learned that CNN and Fox news has done to our parents what they thought violent video games and Marilyn Manson would do to us.

Jenn’s Actual Lesson -

Did you know that the great squid has the largest eye in the animal kingdom? I’ve been under the weather and watching a lot of science docs. :D

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

Fucking woos will fuck your teeth.

We usually look to Canada’s healthcare system for means of improving our own… or at least pissing off the GOP. But not everything is so pearly in Canada — especially the teeth of Calgary. In 2011 the city council decided to fuck everyone within the sound and smell of their persons by removing fluoride from the drinking water. You might recall fluoride as the brainwashing pseudo-medical elixir of the elitist lizard-alien overlords. But Calgary’s dentists paint a different picture. One of “Sammy” an 8-year-old whose teeth had become so rotted that an infection had spread from his gums to his eye, where it threatened his brain and life. Children whose primary and permanent molars are decaying before they even erupt through the gums. Most of the local drinking water is naturally fluoridated at 0.1 to 0.4 parts per million… unfortunately, the required therapeutic level is 0.7. Of course, there are still those who blame the unprecedented increase in tooth decay to not brushing, drinking soda, tooth actors, and of course, “nu-uh.”

I would say c’est la vie, but, it shouldn’t be and without fluoridated water, it will be a much shorter life indeed.

Shea - Big Baby Balloon

* Thousands of Brits rallied together to raise over $10,000 to fly a giant inflatable orange baby with a unique quaff of hair over parliament square in London to protest the great American clown’s visit.

* The six-metre tall balloon has been crowdfunded by members of the public and is expected to be a focal point during protests against the trip

Steve - Supremely Stupid - The US Supreme court ruled 5-4, you can guess the breakdown) that it’s perfectly okay for California “Crisis Pregnancy Centers” aka Christian crusader clump of cells charlatans, to stop posting information regarding where women could get actual good advice regarding her pregnancy options. Prior to the ruling, California’s Reproductive Freedom, Accountability, Comprehensive Care and Transparency Act or FACT Act, required these bullshit places to provide actual complete and honest information to women.
