[leighton] After we interviewed Nathan, we thought it might make for an interesting show to have his sister, the figurehead of the Westboro Baptist Church, come onto the sow. Unfortunately, in our opinion, we believe we were woefully wrong. Between attempts at maintaining calm there is little more than a long litany of quoted scripture and anger/screaming from both sides. We do not believe this is of the quality that we like to maintain, but before we delete and forget the experience we have decided to allow all of you to decide whether you want to be exposed to something blatantly bad.

If you all chime in with a desire to listen to this, we post it immediately without any editing and leave you all to torture yourselves. Whether you want it or not, we will post a new episode next week. This one is little more than that bit of extra liver on the side of our plate neither of us want to touch or even look at again.

EDIT: You asked for it. Shirley Phelps-Roper of the singin’ Westboro Baptists.

[leighton] Just to let all the whiners out there know, we have recorded the podcast, but it was far too boring for even us to endure. We’re going to re-record things when we have a free moment on Thursday. So, suck it up bitches. We’ll give you what you need when we get around to it.

[leighton]You ever have one of those transcendental experiences due to someone comparing you to something completely off the wall? I just finished up an interview with Karl wherein he said I was “… pretty much freakin’ Wolverine, in my books.” I hate to be the one to point out the obvious, but there may be a couple differences between Wolverine and I. For one thing, I’m not Canadian and I’m not as hairy. Actually, that’s all I could come up with on the differentiation front.

Karl shows quite a bit of intelligence especially when he states this in reference to having Charley on his show last year, “I could hardly say “oh ummmm, actually, I meant the guy behind you.” I doubt I did his interview justice, but give Karl his due credit for putting up with me. Much like Charley’s wife, he has the patience of Job, but none of the boils. Trust me on that one. I made sure to thoroughly check him over before the interview started. Too bad he’s into women. He’s got nice thighs and I’d spork with him any day.

[leighton]As there has been some interest in listeners asking Sean questions, and he has agreed, I would ask any out there interested in posing a question to do so by email. We have set up the recording session for Thursday, March 4th. Please have your questions to us by noon that day if you would like your question included in the discussion. Also, in posing your questions remember he has requested the topic remain firmly on the respecting of individual beliefs.

[leighton]Due to our episode on the Jehovah’s Witnesses we received a comment from a very special woman who we were able to convince to come on and speak with us concerning her experiences. She enlightens us much more than any research we could do and we’re glad to have her on to discuss her experiences inside this religion. If you would like to read more about her experiences you can visit her blog. We will be posting this interview for this week’s podcast.

Tall Penguin was raised a Jehovah’s Witness. At the age of 31, after a series of events and realizations, she formally cut ties with the religion. Through her blog, she details the aftermath of leaving the JW’s and the subsequent journey into a life without God and belief. When she isn’t devouring books, Tall Penguin spends her time writing, painting and generally enjoying life.
