[chuck]For the 3 of you who are wondering what’s going on here at Irreligiosophy, here’s a quick breakdown: we’re currently in “crunch time” for our back yard haunt, which means that we’re building and decorating nearly non-stop. In order to get the last 2 weeks off for Halloween at work, I needed to push the entire month’s worth of shifts into the first 2 weeks, which means I work 13 out of the first 16 days in October (and a good portion of those are 12 hour shifts). On top of everything else, I got a GI bug that took me out of commission all last week. Leighton, of course, still has school.
So what does this all mean for the One True Podcast? We’ve actually finished research on Prop 8, enough to squeeze 2 episodes out. We’d like to do a takedown of “Haunting in Connecticut” as well, and maybe a podcast on Satan or something before the month is out. But October is always a rough month, and this month is worse than most. All I can say is that we’ll keep trying, but if it’s too rushed, I’d always rather wait a week or three (or four, or five) to make sure that the quality is up to par.
Sorry, folks!

It’s good to hear you two are not dead. That means I can keep putting shit on you and not feel as bad as I would have if you had indeed been twinkled up to heaven.
So, it’s that time of the month hey, and this month is worse than usual? I feel your pain. You guys go play with your pumpkins and we will survive, but we will miss your whiney voices. Podcast plans sound good. BTW, I hope Leighton finishes high school soon, but I am glad he is enjoying all the decorating he is doing. Chuck, I also appreciate your commitment to podcast quality and not wanting to “rush” things – WTF?
Seriously, good luck with the haunt. You have put so much work into it. I hope it goes really well. Boo!
The three of us who you refer to are the father, son and holy ghost, and we knew all this anyway, but thanks for the up-date.
We used to be a catholic, but now we think that radical agnostic is the way to go. But we get a lot out of your podcasts, so we are ok if you exercise your free wills now and then and leave a bit of a gap. Just don’t leave us waiting too long.
Thanks for the update, Chuck. And I hope you’re feeling better. Don’t rush the podcasts but if you can squeak out one, I’d like to hear the Haunting in Connecticut. I am a CT resident and my wife is a friend of the folks who own the house (or used to own it).
Please post pictures of the backyard haunt! I’m sure lots of us are curious to see yours and Leighton’s handiwork.
Some things are more important than podcasts, and terrifying Mormon children is one of them
Post pics of your hard work! And Chuck, please remember to charge admission, I know your accounting skills are weak!
Oooh! A haunted house! I could bring a shitload of paying customers. Are you going to tell your Utah fan(s) where it is? I’m dying to see what kind of haunted house a couple of godless bastards would create…
Thats GAY. fuck your lives, your first responsibility is to satisfy complete strangers by delivering this audio crack you fed us you bastards! too busy trying to lure the neighborhood children into your back yard??? HM?? Give it a rest, join the priesthood if thats your aim, they will come to you!
DELIVER!!!!!!!!
We better get pictures of this “haunted house” of yours. It sounds rather suspicious.
…..are there going to be Mormon Zombies?
That sounds like an oxymoron.
Currently everything’s tarped down because it’s been raining for the past few days. As soon as the sun comes up, we’ll snap some pictures of the haunt-in-progress to let everyone know what we’ve been up to.
It’s big this year. I will be disappointed if no one calls the cops on us Halloween weekend.
Pinguino — email us at irreligiosophy@gmail.com and I’ll send you our address. The more the merrier. And that goes for anyone else who wants to crash our little Halloween party.
@Dietrich: “Mormon Zombies” is more redundant than it is an oxymoron. Perhaps, oxy-mormon is a better fit ,still.
You guys are great. Take you time.
I was starting to think a Phelps defeated you. One battle with a low level crazy and you guys go into seclusion. I don’t mind a lack of podcast, but that was bad timing on a hiatus. Don’t let the Phelps overpower you.
You’re worth waiting for!!!!!
There is a very big empty spot in my life without Irreligiosophy. I thought you did a good job with Shirley Phelps-Roper. She sets the benchmark for batshit crazy. A suggestion for another guest, Ray Comfort. He sets the benchmark for being the stupidest.
Only if its a tag team match between Chuck and Leighton vs Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort!
I’m going to come to Utah and suck both your penises if you don’t come out with another show soon mostly that prop 8 show you’ve been promising, but if you want me to come there I’ll have to pass.
It’s worth waiting for…But please try to hurry up.
My vote is for a Satan episode.
Prop 8!…..or the one about Satan! no….the one where Leighton gets in touch with his feminine side!….so hard to choose!
I know! How about a podcast about how much the hosts care what the listeners want? Of course there may be a minimum podcast length imposed by itunes or whatever that would preclude such a podcast…
Well guys, here’s the alcoholic’s point of view. I may just have to crack open a crypt or two while I wait for you. I just can’t handle the suspense. Yer killing me boys! I can’t handle the pressure. I’m jonesing so bad for irreligiosophy goodness that I’m starting to listen to Glenn Freaking Moron Beck! Please! Please! Save me from cracking my own jokes at this moron!
Please, deliver some skunk dickery, hell even an Atheist News Network would suffice. Anything, I beg of you.
I’m so ashamed, I’ve been shaking so bad I don’t have to scramble eggs anymore. They come out that way from the shell as I carry the carton to the stove. The withdrawel is so painful, my husband is even treating me nicer!
Welp, time to join a cult. Can’t see any other way to fill this void in my life.
Dietrich, worshipping false idols? Tusk tusk…..Don’t you relaise in this time of trial that the one set of footprints in the sand was when Chuck was carrying you, and Leighton, well, I think he stayed behind to get a tan and check out the chicks in bikinis.
Endure to the end, brothers and sisters, endure to the end. Remember, it’s always darkest just before the dawn.
“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;”
“And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;”
Can I get an amen?
Amen to that brother pinguino
Lets not our faith be lost lest we be punished in the hereafter
Let us entertain ourselves with ironic religious parody lest we go crazy
May the truthfulness of the one podcast be with you all
Fucking Slackers
I keep trying to find a replacement for Irreligiosophy….but all other podcast fail in comparison. There is nothing to tide me over but re-listening to the Kent Hovind’s thesis episode. Hi My name is Kent Hovind….
I’m listening to Total Talk Nonsense now. Nice. Not the same, but it serves to fill the gap.
Face it, Chuck and Leighton have been raptured. I can think of no other explanation for their absence. We are left behind to fight the Antichrist. So go get your “666” tattoo, stock up on ammo and fuel, and rent “Mad Max” and “The Road” as training videos on what’s to come.
my theory is that chuck and leighton have been dead since the shirley phelps interview. she hid the bodies and has been typing these little updates to keep people from being suspicious.
No way the updates have been far too coherent.
I’ve been filling the time between podcasts by listening two “The Imaginary Friends.” IF also claims to be “The One True Podcast,” but Irreligiosophy is the only one that gives me a burning in my bosom.
My wild guess is that these two assholes converted back to mormonism and went on a freaking mission or whatever.
The November 1st podcast better be extra shiny.
I reckon Chuck and Leighton have gone to Rome for Mary McKillop’s canonisation. Have a beer for Saint Maccca for me guys!
@Mr. One Two–Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve listened to a couple of episodes and like it. Yet, it still does not fill the Irreligiosophy size hole in my heart.
Time to come clean guys, we all know your “haunt” is just Leighton running around with a bedsheet over his head.
RIP Irreligiosophy
Well we’re past the three day mark since Chuck and Leighton were placed in the tomb…
Lord Pakhdi, return them to us!
Why do you guys have to have lives, seriously?! 🙂 I’ve listened to the episode on Kent’s Dissertation so many times now. I have it memorized. Clearly, obviously, you guys aren’t coming back.
Is it because we have strayed from the One True Podcast and harkened to others when we thought ye had forsaken us?
Praise Be!
Do we need to make a beer offering to get them back? Or do we need to make a burnt beer offering? I can’t remember for the life of me which pleases them.
Checked out two suggested pcasts;
The imaginary Friends. Barely tolerable two guys talking at each other with no preparation. Advertised as comedy. Beware of anything that has to tell you it’s comedy. I couldn’t get through one whole program.
Total Talk Nonsense
Complete twaddle. Two boring dildos mumbling crap about their own pathetic lives, I couldn’t get through ten minutes and neither should you.
WTF is it with people that think anyone would want to listen to random opinionated conversations between two immature twats.
Imaginary Friends gets a lot better in the later shows when one of the “barely tolerable” guys leaves the show. I think the two host had different ideas of they wanted the show to be. Once they are down to one host, the show becomes a lot more focused. I agree… some of the comedy routines are pretty bad. Must be the Australian humor not translating to American sensibilities. I usually just skip over those parts.
I was late coming to Irreligiosophy so I listen to the whole lot of them back to back over a short time. So, I’ve been missing the irreverent and enlightened take on the world. Hope to hear you soon.
The “Where’s my prop 8?” comment makes me want to beat some Thai children. Do you guys have one or two that I can borrow or are they all still busy working the Haunt?
