Waiting 4 Wrath - Episode 175 - The One With Games, Grog, & Grog!

In This Week’s Show, episode 175, we defend the NRA’s Women’s Day buffet against the NRA’s virtual face punches!

Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while The Morrigan (the 3-part Irish goddesses of war and fate) hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying their patience!

Shea’s Life Lesson

This week I learned not to fight Destiny. Because if you try and fight Destiny you’ll have to fight the bouncer and the other strippers too.

Jenn’s Actual Lesson

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, did you know, according to Irish legend, the shamrock became associated with the day bc St. Patrick used the 3 leaves as a metaphor for the holy trinity?

But before we get to all that, It’s gonna be one of those shows!

Such an awesome podcast. This awesome group are a Friday afternoon staple for me. I put it on as I head home from work, and love all your segments. Really good commentary on current events and skeptical thinking. I especially love the beer tasting, and it always gets me pumped to try some new beers and gives me some new ones to get my hands on. Such a great group of guys and gal! If there is one fun skeptical podcast you should listen to, Waiting 4 Wrath is it. Love your work Shea, Steve, Aaron, Jenn and Jim!

Update and follow up: White nationalist teacher Dayanna Volitich has been removed from teaching by the school district while it conducts its investigation. Also, here is part of her ‘explanation’: “None of the statements released about my being a white nationalist or white supremacist have any truth to them, nor are my political beliefs injected into my teaching of social studies curriculum. While operating under the Russian pseudonym ‘Tiana Dalichov’ on social media and the Unapologetic Podcast, I employed political satire and exaggeration, mainly to the end of attracting listeners and followers, and generating conversation about the content discussed between myself and my guests…”

Also, thanks to SingleM4lt on Twitter: sounds like Norway has a mental health loophole that allows increments of additional 5yrs added to sentences in prison indefinitely for severe cases. So hopefully mass murderer Anders Breivik can keep his nationalist ass behind bars. They have really nice prisons, anyway, so maybe move him to Colombia or something.
