Waiting 4 Wrath - Episode 180 - The One Where We Asked Big Gay Jim To Make AIDS Funny...

* In This Week’s Show, episode 180, we take a homeschooled tax course from AIDS. Yeah. And, we started this week with 4 More Beers! (And sooo much homebrew)

Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while RuPaul, Goddess of Drag Queens - hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying her patience!

Shea’s Life Lesson

This week I learned that if a cop yells “Freeze” you can yell back “Now everybody clap your hands” and they are required by law to start clapping or else they will be arrested for treason and possibly deported from the country.

Out sick, send iTunes reviews!

Jim’s Good Gay News

This week, over 1000 people attended the first pride festival in Mike Pence’s hometown (Columbus, Indiana), no religious zealots protesters showed up, and the whole thing was started by a high school student’s senior project. I, along with FOX news watchers, learned the term “Christian privilege.” Unlike most FOX news watchers, I understand and agree with the term. Oh, and I hugged a Phelps.

And I’m Steve, and before we get to all that, let’s have a beer!

Jennifer is still out again this week. She is on the mend, but not yet quite healed enough to join us in this silly endeavour. She said, “I’ll be back week after next and I miss y’all!”

No new iTunes reviews this week. (should be actually mention this? I’m thinking not.)

David Silverman… ugh. We more or less skipped the Krauss thing but given that we’ve talked about David before, and American Atheists it at least warrants a mention. Apparently he’s been a known bad-actor in whisper networks for a long while. He was recently accused of all manner of sexual misconduct and after a three day internal investigate American Atheists decided that the allegations were credible enough to give him the boot. So, that sucks, he sucks, don’t be a sexual predator!

HL1: Montre-all Your Tax Money! - http://bit.ly/2HHQ0Xz

Oops! Looks like the internet tricked me again, that or, my impeccable editorial skills aren’t so impeccable after all ;)

This story is old ass news. We still had a good laugh though so… enjoy. Just don’t take any of the talk of timelines to heart — it was correct relative to the story, but is years out of whack as of the recording. Have I mentioned about how we don’t take ourselves too seriously?..

Sorry all, I donked this one up 0_o

Proving yet again that we should all just move the fuck to Canada, Montreal Churches are being taxed.

Joel Coppieters, the Minister at the Cote des Neiges Presbyterian church, was shocked… shocked he said, after getting a municipal tax bill in 2015. And because the church's official stance on reciprocity is “send us a letter and we’ll get back to you whenever” we’re just hearing about it now. Being a bitchy french priest, he’d apparently never seen one of the damnedable bits of paper before, wondering I’m sure how the rest of us poor sods cope.

Never one to miss the obvious, he said "it was the first indication that something had changed,
