Waiting 4 Wrath - Episode 278 - The One Where Everyone Misses Jenn, Especially You!

In This Week’s Show, episode 278, we queue the patrons I’s, before FIFO-ing our Coronas, after trimming some wonderful ladies beards.

Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while Shea’s beard hasn’t struck us down yet, it might be what ruined Jenn’s lungs!

Shea’s Life Lesson

This week I learned that Ariana Grande is actually not a font or a size at Starbucks.

Jenn’s Actual Lesson

[cough] [weeze] [cough] KHAAAAAAAAAN!

Jenn's condition continues to change. Pneumonia, pleurisy, and weight lifting neck. It's not great but she's got a new doctor and we hope is on the path to feeling better.

We'll talk more about Jenn's situation next week but for now we'll just say that if you want to send well-wishes, I'm positive she'd greatly appreciate the distraction!

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

Round Table

Email from Dustin of Atheist Nomads regarding out talking about closed roads in Wyoming being commonplace.

“I almost dropped out if the SDA seminary after my first semester. However, I would have had to drive across Wyoming in December to get back to Oregon from Michigan. I considered driving down to Texas, across I-10 and then up I-5 but that would have have been a really long trip, so I decided to power through another semester to avoid the Wyoming winter.”

Listener Jon pointed out that we misused poisonous vs venomous… Damnit :(

We know the difference, we promise, but in the heat of the moment you just never know what we’re likely to spout.

If you bite it and die it’s poisonous. If it bites you and you die it’s venomous. If you bite it and it likes it, it’s kinky.

As we continue to fight the plague that has taken over Wrathful studios I’ve again had to dive directly into the development of a dose of QI duplication.

For today’s show, we’ve done the maths and the numbers don’t quite add up,

He’s shown his work but Yeti division is surprisingly short, Shea!

He’s statistically significant even if his “p” value doesn’t rise to the occasion, Steve!

Starting our lengthy list at the least, it’s 0!

Patient 0, that is. And no, I don’t mean Jenn.

Panel, where did the term patient 0 originate?

"Patient 0" actually never was. During the 1980's AIDS epidemic the term patient 0 was commonly understood to mean Gaetan Dugas, a man diagnosed with AIDS early in the epidemic. He would soon thereafter be propagandized by the San Francisco Chronicler as the main vector for the disease and it's rapid spread.

Unfortunately, that was all a typo.

The term "Patient 0" hadn't really been invented yet. Medical forms at the time often added details about patients in shorthand. In Dugas's case, he was marked as "Patient O" or a "patient outside of California." Tragically for him, at some point, the "O" was mistaken for a "0" and the label stuck. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_case

Incrementing away from AIDS to something that’s just about as fun, taxes! Panel, what’s a rule of taxation our listeners probably haven’t heard the first thing about?

It turns out that 1's are far more important to your taxes than 0's. While we all might want more 0's involved... depending on the directionality of the cashflow I suppose...
