Waiting 4 Wrath - Episode 188 - The One Where Jenn Combs The Desert For Pizza & Justice!

In This Week’s Show, episode 188, we order poisonous homeopathic pizza and get it delivered to NASA's new sparkly Brewery for 4 More Beers 20!

Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while Hodor (blind Norse god and son of Odin) hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying his patience!

Shea’s Life Lesson

This week I learned that every time Magic Johnson hugs you he steals a few white blood cells.

Jenn’s Actual Lesson

Did you know Hodor killed his brother Baldur by shooting him with mistletoe? It wasn’t his fault, really; Loki tricked him into it cuz that’s what he does.

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

Round Table Discussion

We had a tornado.

Shea’s theme song!

Thanks to Mr. Bible Pants for your kind words, we’re alive, no thanks to tornado god McGee.

We’ve got fuck-all otherwise, so a quick reminder that we need iTunes review to feel good about ourselves and patrons to get to ReasonCon next year.

With that, we’re going to give you a preview of the 4 More Beers that we’re about to record for patrons. And if you’re feeling all jelly, you can hear it too at http://patreon.com/w4w!

Aaron’s Booze!

Spoiler: It was not good, but the booze for 4 More Beers was great, and Jenn drank an assload of it! So that was fun ;)

Hot Shots

Steve - Octopusses galore

Scientists recently discovered a little patch of the wild west in Jervis Bay on the eastern Australia coastline which is the home of around 15 octopuses (not octopi, not really). Under 30-50 feet of water, the town - dubbed Octlantis - has a community of octopuses living together in a complex social behavioral system where they communicate with each other, live together, and guard their homes, chasing away the undesirables, not unlike those seen in vertebrates. This isn’t the first octopus town discovered either. Another, dubbed Octopolis was discovered in 2009. http://bit.ly/2l7o0SO

Aaron - In I can’t hear you so it’s fake news… this story isn’t about America. The Institution of Homoeopaths in Kerala, apparently watching British homeopaths lose their asses to the NHS and the Merseyside Skeptics Society, have decided to preempt similar revelations in India by appealing to the Indian government to block Wikipedia’s entry on the topic. Citing that the wiki article has insulted AYUSH by calling their treatments, nonsense, quackery, and a sham. So really, there are two takeaways here. One, that’s not how the internet or medicine work India. And two, in a surprising turn of events, go Wikipedia!

Steve - Incompetence lives on in Florida… again.

For over a year, the Florida staffer of the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services who was responsible for conducting national background checks for concealed carry permits… didn’t. The Florida Agriculture Commissioner who is responsible for that department did campaign on making the permit process faster, but that’s not even why this important step was not done. The reason? The idiot functionary responsible lost the password to log into the national system. Tens of thousands of applications for concealed carry were approved without even this basic step being done. Nice work Florida.

Aaron - You smell like cabbage and sparkles!

Jillian Epperly, 44, of Ohio is medical miracle worker… Well,
