Waiting 4 Wrath - Episode 174 - The One With Scottish Beer Ballads

In This Week’s Show, episode 174, Jenn and I are back and we’re ready to laugh at the news… if we could just find some that don’t make us want to cry…

Now, grab a beer and help us test the god hypothesis — because, while Pani (the Maori goddess known as ‘the mother of sweet potatoes’) hasn’t struck us down yet, we are trying her patience!

Shea’s Life Lesson

This week I learned that if a homeschooling mom is talking to herself you can just consider it a parent-teacher conference.

Jenn’s Actual Lesson

Did you know that Pani means ‘besmeared’ in the Maori language? She taught the humans the sacred incantations regarding kumara (or sweet potato). Plantations of sweet potatoes were called "The Stomach of Pani." There’s a theme here.

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

Email from Heeby

Here is my drunk message and vocal stylings. Kinda long, sorry about that. And I had to split it into multiple acts cuz I kept having to do retakes when I drunkenly forgot the lyrics. Also please ask Aaron what part of Canada I sound like I'm from, everyone always tells me my Michigan accent turns Canadian when I'm drinking.

Cheers,

Heeby Jeebus

You sound like you’re from the best pubs in town mate!

Infowars has two strikes on YouTube. One more within three months and it’s off the service forever. Here’s to hoping the moron can’t keep his mouth shut. Jones said on March 3 that he’s already been banned, but YouTube said that isn’t true. In the meantime advertisers flee...http://bit.ly/2Dalthp

Kiddie Marriage

* A bill outlawing child marriage in Kentucky had been expected to receive a vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, but that vote has been delayed due to last-minute opposition by the conservative Family Foundation of Kentucky, according to the bill’s lead sponsor.

* Sen. Julie Raque Adams, R-Louisville, filed Senate Bill 48 on the first day of this year’s session of the Kentucky General Assembly, which would prohibit anyone under the age of 17 from marrying and only allow 17-year-olds to marry with a judge’s approval.

* Under the current law in Kentucky, 16 and 17-year-olds can marry with their parents’ permission, and a girl of any age under 16 can marry as long as they are pregnant and marrying the expectant father. Likewise, a boy of any age can marry a woman that he impregnates under the current law.

* Adams filed the bill after media reports detailing how Kentucky has the third-highest rate of child marriage in the country — with more than 10,000 children married from 2000 to 2015, according to the Tahirih Justice Center — and the accounts of women like Donna Pollard,
