1142: Uplifting

[John Galt]

Ask one of the show guests who lives in NYC, Jeremy. Several of them already have met you and you've met them.

Tyson is a convicted rapist, this is a fact but doesn't anyone else recall the shadiness around the case. Part of the alleged rape was him eating her out on her period at 2am after accepting an invite to a hotel room.

I'm not saying rape isn't possible I just find that there were some odd circumstances here.

He served his time in Jail if he does not have the right to earn a living can he stop paying taxes, can he just go on a crime spree so long as he doesn't get caught. We either accept the lie of criminal rehabilitations or we need to start kicking them off cliff's as we'll never treat them as normal members of society

Just listened to the show, Keith worried about not enough books printed? Why, it is in stock at Amazon and 3,823 in current books?
What was the initial printing? 10K?

I have a parent who became a priest and he did it out of simple unemployement. He fucked up everything else so he became a priest. It's just another job. They're not poor, humble, faithful or chaste.

The non-marrying thing is alie too, built up only to make sure that the priests have no heirs and their possessions stays in the church grounds. But i know a bunch of priests that have secret lovers (and no, they dont all touch kids. but the pope's brother does.)

On the study about the link between intelligence and religion: i think that sogiological studies are mostly proof that everything can be linked to everything with enough words and numbers. This one too. There's intelligent, cultured people that believe in god and dumb atheists. Sure, for a dumb person it's simpler to attribute everything to god and not question stuff. But i also have met people who said they were atheists because "god is bullshit, whatever, dude". Same type of idiots that calls themselves "anarchists" when they talk about politics.

A thinking believer needs even more intelligence than any person that rests on atheism like a comfy bed.

Damn, what a great trick... Completely fuck up life, become a priest

I remember this parent (who was around 25 when he entered seminary), telling me about this older priest who basically acted like a recruiter for him, convincing him with speeches and practical stuff that he should go that way.

A phrase he told me, which by the way was a sentence that priests told kids before their first communion too, was: "You'll become soldiers of god. And you will fight a war, but instead of taking lives you will save them" (add an emphasis in the style of Keith's dad).

In the end it's a job, if you take away the mystical aura. Just like an army in a war-less country and without the pride of being a soldier. And with a lot more shame connected.

This guy Shane was a really good guest, I hope he appears again.

God damn it Invader, when they ask what you're listening to is the best part, not the worst. That's when you pimp the shit out of KATG. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT!

Yeah but with Tyson "eating out" is literal.

I was pleased to hear a new guest from my hometown (La Crosse, WI represent!) but more so, extremely pleased to hear such a hilarious comedian and great new guest.

Please book Shane again. A+++++ would laugh again.

Boring answer: I believe he wrote the joke before Myka and I were together. Also, Myka is not my wife.

Less boring answer?: I am actually the inspiration behind ALL of Shane's jokes. I am his girlfriend Maggie, his eye-doctor friend, the cop who he interacts with in a blacked-out state, his vegan friend, his vegan friend's wife, and more. I'm also him. We are all one. Salvia!

Glad everyone liked Shane. He is a nice genius, and you should buy his album, watch his special, and care about him.

"Those were the first words on the red planet"

"Are we all different people, Myka?"
"Yes, Michael"

"Myka will you Marry me"
"You're high Michael"

This and other gems, by the one and only Myq Kaplan on Salvia. Only on the KATG Marathon! If you missed it.... Well too bad for you.
