[chuck]Okay, here’s the deal. We’re still alive, though barely. This week, Leighton and I signed a lease to a building in which we will house our haunt. We spent the last 2 days moving most of our Halloween stuff to the new digs and I hurt in places I didn’t even know I had. Now I’m working 24 hours out of the next 48 while my body complains about the sudden usage after years of neglect.
We have 3 interview episodes in the hopper. I’ve nearly completed editing one, which I hope to finish tonight after work (no lunch or dinner breaks on this shift), add a quick intro, and then collapse in a stupor until I have to work at the crack of dawn tomorrow.
For future episodes with actual content, we’re planning on crazy Book of Mormon stories, a primer on Q, and the BYU honor code. If you’d all like to vote for what you’d like to hear first, leave a comment in the thread.
Meanwhile, here’s a picture of our new digs, which Leighton will be busy sweeping, cleaning, and replacing ceiling tiles for what might amount to be the rest of his life.

Crazy mormon stories pelase.
Congrats on the new digs… I have no preference on which one you do first, they all sound awesome.
Crazy Mormon stories!
Do what you can, but please post photos of Leighton undertaking menial labour.
BYU Honor Code sounds interesting.
How long are you leasing that space? Is it going to be a permanent home for your haunt or just this year?
This was the only “Haunted House” I have ever been a part of . . .
Whatever you fancy whenever you feel up for it.
And don’t replace the ceiling tiles! Have things drop and drip from them!
What the fuck do you need all the space for???? <– notice the 4 question marks
To house the child slaves we plan on exploiting.
On the right will be the BIG SCREEN HDTV showing archived editions of every video recording of Conference. It cost extra to buy those screens that you can wipe tomato stains off.
I’d like to know more about Q. It is a consonant I have never fully grappled with.
Oh, I’d also like to know – if you were in Bizarro world and were putting forth the best case for God, what would you come up with?
And I’m a little worried that Chuck has places he doesn’t know about. Shouldn’t he, as a doctor, technically know the human anatomy? Or is this the final proof that Chuck is really a monstrosity from beyond the stars?
The two of you are beasts!
Chuck,
Though we are all believers in the One True Podcast, even God had to rest on the Seventh Day. Please don’t burn yourself out making the podcast.
My preference for topics are:
1. Crazy Mormon Stories (we just can’t get enough)
2. Q (really interesting aspect about the synoptic gospels that most people are not aware of)
3. BYU (dis)honor code. (Clearly ridiculous. If you can’t have sex with your girlfriend then what’s the point of keeping her around)
If you find yourself short on material on a podcast maybe you can mention why idiots believe the world will end on May 21. This has to be one of the worst things that has come from Oakland, California. Even worse than ghost riding, getting hyphy, whistle tips, cannabis clubs and the Oakland Raiders.
As a former “good little Mormon boy” I would love to hear some fucked up Book for Mormon stories. I need something to talk about with my Dad. #trollface
@Chuck: I do not see my name on the list of Apostates. I gave you 5 bucks, or so my Paypal says:
Date: Mar 15, 2011
Time: 12:56:06 PDT
Status: Completed
Subject: You have sent $5.00 USD to Charles Morrison with PayPal
Let me know if you did or did not get it. I had a glitch with Paypal when I did it. Thanks guys! Words cannot describe what your insight means to me!
@Dfens: I agree with you on ghost riding, getting hyphy, whistle tips
Tim, we did receive it, thank you. I don’t know why it’s not showing up on the wall — did you check the “put my donation on the recognition wall” button?
If not, the anonymity of your donation means you’ve piled up extra treasure in Irreligiosophy heaven.
I read “the child slaves we plan on exploding”
Q? From the Q continuum? Or the guy who makes the gadgets for James Bond? Pending an answer on what the fuck Q is I’d say Crazy book of mormon stories though the BYU honour code also sounds like a fantastic episode.
when I read “Q” the Star trek nerd in me thought ‘Hey, a smarmy character is right up these guys’s alley” but I digress, crazy Mormon stories are begging to be told. However, I think you guys will just say “Fuck you fans!” and pick something else.
Q – all rational numbers. Numbers floating in space?
Thanks Chuck! I guess I need to give some more. I want my name on that list, for selfish personal reasons.
Cheers!
By “Q” they probably mean the lost book of the sayings of Jesus that the Gospels drew material from.
honor code can’t get enough of that shit
I hope you’re going to post pictures of your haunt when it’s done!!!
^ fixed.
I guess this time I didn’t click show comment. LOL. I put “If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, I seek after these things. Like porn, booze, and Irreligiosophy.” OK, I lied, at first it said Batman. Batman is praiseworthy, too. 😉
Keep being awesome guys! I can’t wait to hear you guys tell the story of how God gave Nephi the liahona, the first documented GPS system, and how they used that to guide their wooden U-boat with magical glowing kindey stones to the Americas.
Did I hear right… one of your interview episodes is with John DeLancie?
Awesome.
KIDDING.
I’m looking forward to all your topics…
but BYU honor code sounds particularly hilarious.
By the way…
I am cooking up a surprise for you guys…
AND all the fans of Irreligiosophy.
CUPCAKES FOR EVERYONE!
No… not that.
For now the nature of the surprise will remain under wraps.
Which reminds me…
Do you know how to keep an asshole in suspense?
I’ll tell you later.
^Murkbox
A butt plug and lots of glue?
I agree with the Q-from-Star Trek people. DO Q. How come he was supposed to be all omniscient and omnipotent and all, but those were always the most budget episodes. Like his big magic trick would be to make people dress like cowboys or something.
^ @ Jack
Robin Hood… Worf is NOT a Merry Man.
OK, while they’re all good crazy Mormon stories would be hard to beat.
I vote for Q. Sources, earlier versions. and edits of the OT would be good too.
I am approaching Mormon fatigue, maybe you cold hold off on that for awhile. Would be interested in your opinions of the mormon show on on Broadway, though.
What’s so scary about lamps and Velvet covered chairs?
Crazy Mormon stories, especially if they are racist!
I vote “Q” too! Afterall, Mormonism ain’t Christianity and it’s your thoughts on Christianity as the reason why I listen.
Out of curiosity, do many Mormons tend to be all, “Halloween is of the devil, don’t let the kids trick-or-treat” like a lot of other Christians are? I was mildly surprised that your religious wife would allow a den of demons in her yard (you know, besides Leighton)….unless, of course, you’re also going to be LIVING in this lovely space you’ve leased.
In general, for whatever reason, Mormons tend to LOVE Halloween. The most popular haunt in Salt Lake City is run by a couple of LDS guys, and it does phenomenal business. It is, of course, closed on Sundays — even last year, when Halloween fell on a Sunday.
Definitely would love to hear the Book of Mormon stories one first, though the BYU honor code would also be a great follow-up. Also, please post the address of your haunted house when it’s open for business so us Utah fans can come visit.
LDS love Halloween? Just more proof that it’s all Baal-worship.
Heck. I love Halloween. Should I become Mormon?
@ Queen of Hearts: But it’s BLUE velvet.
Crazy BOM stories, the BYU honour code, then Q primer……. who am I kidding, you lazy fuckers are just gonna do whichever topic requires the least research, or the one where you can wing it with no research whatsoever.
Probably the only place in New Zealand that gets right into trick or treating is around the mormon temple (& my house). I used to go with my mormon friends as a kid, it was awesome.
I vote for more mormon stories please
I’d say mormon stuff but I’m biased
Crazy Mormon stories, please. I have my (mostly unread) Book of Mormon ready to go, and every time the boys come around knocking on my door they keep asking me “Have you read it yet? Have you read it yet?” It puts me to sleep every time I’ve tried, so I’ll be looking forward to some juicy stories to share with them on their next visit.
Why don’t you kidnap some more Thai children and make them do the work for you. Can’t wait to see what you guys do with the place.
