Dear Colonauts,
Having drunk more than half of the wine in Australia’s bible-belt, we’ve returned to open a can of whoop-ass on some generally unsavoury stuff.
As for the important stuff:
Taurus: A spectacularly allergic reaction to shellfish this week, sees you breaking out in hives after watching an episode of Spongebob Squarepants.
Scorpio: It’s never too late to say you’re sorry… even if it means shouting it through a coffin.
In this episode, we talk Osama, The Vatican’s new anti-child-rape guidelines, the seven deadly sins and then some other stuff.

Jake is the author of ‘Letters to Christian Leaders; Hollow be thy claims’, the book which takes the specific claims that the most prominent Christian Leaders make and directly refutes them using the latest research and evidence, reason, logic, and a dash of snarky humour. Get it here for your sexy kindle. Or if you prefer the authenticity of a book (and are too cheap for a kindle) get the hardcopy here.
George Carlin is absolutely a hero of mine, but he didn’t say “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence”. He did say “As soon as I put this hot poker in my ass, I’m going to chop my dick off ” and “I’m going have my testicles laminated”. I am sure you mean Carl Sagan.
Love the podcast keep up the good work.
Honestly, Bryan, I feel stupid!
For someone who loved BOTH Carlin and Sagan, I’m really disappointed with myself.
In my defense, however, I’m doing some research for a review on “Atheism Apps”, and the app, “Atheist Quotes” had that quote attributed to Carlin, which I’d read earlier that morning searching for a good quote to setup the show. When I read it, I screwed up my face, and shook my head, thinking, “this doesn’t sound like Carlin, but I wouldn’t put it past him.”
Nonetheless, therein lies my humble apology.
Warmest regards,
Jake.
