[leighton] Just to let all the whiners out there know, we have recorded the podcast, but it was far too boring for even us to endure. We’re going to re-record things when we have a free moment on Thursday. So, suck it up bitches. We’ll give you what you need when we get around to it.

[chuck]Palmer sent us an email confession: he is not actually a faithful, active member of the LDS Church (though he apparently was until about 3 years ago) — he is actually an atheist in disguise. He came on the show after being thoroughly disgusted with Sean’s performance and hoped to give us a real challenge, arguing as he would have 3 years ago.

I’m a bit nonplussed. He’s a good apologist, so I’m disappointed we won’t be able to go the rounds on more issues, such as the LDS history of institutionalized racism, the Adam-God doctrine, polygamy, etc. We will probably have him on the show to explain his deception more thoroughly and to give debating tips from a former apologist’s perspective.

Truth be told, I’m still not sure what to make of it all.

[irrelig]After the Hindu podcast debacle, we go back to our roots in this one. Nice, familiar, Western religion, filled with slavery, nonsensical tirades against sex and children, and old-fashioned antisemitism: the Acts of Thomas and the Epistle of Barnabas. Ahhhh, it’s good to be back.

Plus, the Mims Carter Skunk Dick of the Week and a surprise announcement for June. Catch it here.

[chuck]Thanks for your patience. This week has seen some health problems in the family and a minor surgery, as well as Leighton’s finals, which are tonight. Give us a day or two more to get our shit together, and we should have another podcast out by Friday or Saturday.

Here’s a hint as to the subject material:

[leighton]You ever have one of those transcendental experiences due to someone comparing you to something completely off the wall? I just finished up an interview with Karl wherein he said I was “… pretty much freakin’ Wolverine, in my books.” I hate to be the one to point out the obvious, but there may be a couple differences between Wolverine and I. For one thing, I’m not Canadian and I’m not as hairy. Actually, that’s all I could come up with on the differentiation front.

Karl shows quite a bit of intelligence especially when he states this in reference to having Charley on his show last year, “I could hardly say “oh ummmm, actually, I meant the guy behind you.” I doubt I did his interview justice, but give Karl his due credit for putting up with me. Much like Charley’s wife, he has the patience of Job, but none of the boils. Trust me on that one. I made sure to thoroughly check him over before the interview started. Too bad he’s into women. He’s got nice thighs and I’d spork with him any day.

[chuck]Whenever the choice is between putting out a mediocre podcast and putting out none at all, we choose the lazy way out and take the week off.

So we’ll see you next week with what we hope is a decent podcast. In the meantime, listener and Irreligiosophy Apostle Emma has sent us the “Irreligiosophy Drinking Game.” Enjoy getting stupid drunk while listening to old episodes.
