Waiting 4 Wrath - Episode 197 - The One Where We Finally Retire Our Tin Foil Hats... Mostly

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.

Jenn’s Actual Lesson

Did you that Nachigai (aka as Etugen), was invoked by the people for good weather, an abundance of crops and animals and general prosperity.

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

Hotshots

Shea- Ahhhhhrachnids

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.
