Episode 68 – Pacific Boners
This week we have another opportunity to explore the latest geeky stuff that has us inappropriately excited. Tim talks about a new movie release that is his favorite movie of the year. Nick gets super excited about video games and Molly is looking forward to a remake of a film based on a story written […]
Episode 67 – Deliverance at Hand
This week, we have a conversation with James Zimmerman, the author of “Deliverance at Hand!: The Redemption of a Devout Jehovah’s Witness.” We had the opportunity to review an advance copy of the book before we sat down and talked with James and it is a genuinely great read about growing up as a Jehovah’s […]
Episode 66 – Victimless Crimes
For this week’s topic, we are joined by returning guest Tony Miller, who helped us defeat the anti-gay Marriage amendment last year (yeah – it was totally us). This time he joins us to talk about victimless crimes. We start by talking about laws governing drug use (especially marijuana) but we also consider blue laws, […]
Episode 65 – The Death Penalty
This weeks episode features the three of us talking about the death penalty. Pretty serious topic for a comedy podcast, huh? We talk about whether or not being an atheist changes one’s view of the moral questions surrounding putting a criminal to death. We also ask whether or not religion is an influence on support […]
Episode 64 – Conspiracy Theories
This week we are joined by third time guest Ronn Bauman in the luxious trailer studios. We had a long and animated conversation about conspiracy theories. If anything, we barely scratched the surface of our contempt for people who buy into them. We probably should have focused on one at a time but Ronn has […]
Episode 63 – Birdface
This week we are joined by Sharon Stiteler, who is better known as Birdchick. Sharon has recently released a book called 1001 Secrets Every Birder Should Know, which is endorsed by Molly’s mom. In spite of Sharon’s incredible birding credentials, we actually brought her on the podcast to talk about situations in which she feels […]
Episode 62 – Religion and Characterization
This week we talk about playing a character who believes in something that you don’t. All three of us are performers at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival and we have to think about what our characters believe and if that belief differs from our own. Tim, for instance, plays a character who is Catholic. Molly and […]
Reigion is such a Becky
Hey, for all you cool kids who have listened to Episode 60, friend of the show (and former guest) Brianne Bilyeu has produced fan art! We loves us the fan art. It makes us feel special! Check it out and, if you are so inclined, share this puppy around. Then, when people don’t get it, […]
Episode 61 – Fictional Gods
This week we are joined by Josh Nite (Mr. Skullhead from Kingdom of Loathing). We have a very far reaching conversation that touches on KOL, Josh’s religious upbringing, and on the concept of writing about gods when you don’t actually believe in them. Did we cover any of those topics in enough detail? Probably not. […]
Episode 60 – Becky Boners
This week’s episode was recorded in the luxurious trailer studios at the Renaissance Festival where we talked about our latest geeky boners. Nick is still pretty excited about Animal Crossing so there’s some talk about perfect cherries. Molly talks about the card game Tichu and improper dealing techniques that got her kicked out of the Bridge […]
