This week, we are putting on our skeptic glasses and looking at some very commonly held beliefs that are completely wrong! How many spiders do we swallow in a year? The answer might surprise you. Unless you think about it for a few minutes. Then it seems pretty obvious ..read more

Sorry we skipped a week but we had a good reason – Tim’s mom died! And while that sucks, it gives us a great opportunity to talk about the experience of losing a loved one of faith and having to deal with all that faith stuff while you are grieving and that faith stuff means nothing to you. Maybe not the most positive of topics but hey – maybe you will find it useful when you find yourself in a similar situation ..read more

We scour the news for some topics this week. In the “God and Technology” category, we talk about AI Godbots and a bible museum in Philadelphia that is closing because, apparently, nobody went to it. In the “late stage capitalism” category, we talk about Uber and Lyft pulling out of Minneapolis because they would rather not pay their drivers than raise their rates. Or something ..read more

This week, we take a look at Lisa Frankenstein, a movie written by Diablo Cody. The movie is kind of a parody of 80’s horror movies and definitely takes inspiration from the original Frankenstein. We spoil the shit out of it but we all had our problems with this one. You might like it, though, so feel free to ignore this episode if you like ..read more

This week, we talk about what to do when you find yourself in a toxic situation or relationship. Leaving those situations is important but sometimes, it isn’t as easy as just walking away. How do you recognize when something is toxic and what can you to do protect yourself? We also talk about the word “toxic” and when it feels appropriate and when it doesn’t ..read more

This week is another boner episode where we talk about whatever geeky things have us super excited right now. Also, we make juvenile dick jokes. Because we are fourteen. If you’d like to know why we chose the title “Grimacing Boners,” you will just have to listen to find out ..read more

Cathédrale Saint-Étienne de Toulouse – chapelle des reliques – Confessionnal PM31000752We had a guest cancel at the last minute this week so we had to come up with a topic in a hurry. We decided to check in as far as where we are with being atheists compared to where we were when we started this podcast almost 13 years ago. It never hurts to check in about these sorts of things from time to time. Also, we didn’t have a better idea ..read more

This week is a geeky boners episode where we all talk about whatever geeky stuff has us all excited in a slightly creepy way. Tim talks about his latest trip to Disney World and the new Guardians of the Galaxy coaster. Molly is getting into some new video games. Nick delves deep into The Last of Us – both the games and the TV Series. We also have some listener answers to our five questions for the first time in a little while ..read more

A still from the “Love your Enemies” He Gets Us commercial that aired during the Super Bowl. Image courtesy of He Gets UsThis week, we are talking about the billion (with a B) dollar ad campaign called He Gets Us. They had ads during the last two Super Bowls and have a big presence on Reddit. It seems to be a nice, friendly kind of Christianity but is it really ..read more

This week, we are discussing a Christian movie so bad, it makes God is Dead look like an Oscar worth film. Gramps Goes to College, suggested by former friend of the show Jeremy Stomberg, is a badly written, badly filmed, and badly acted story about a 62 year old computer programmer who is a chess grand master, tennis champion, and basketball player. He goes back to college to school all the atheist liberal professors who know less about evolution than he does. Don’t watch this movie. Just listen to us complain about it ..read more
