I now have a mental image of Brass lying under a bed to record the episodes. Even with the loft bed clarification.
Poverty, hunger, medical debt, gun violence. American politicians: I sleep.
A crudely drawn naked woman, sex ed, teaching that the holocaust was bad, actually. American politicians: Real shit.
Thank you for mentioning the weirdness of crucifixes! At one point, I started considering that the symbol of Christianity is literally an ancient torture/execution device.
Furry Jesus! Though I think he prefers “Aslan.”
Yo! The Golden Compass! Probably one of my favourite book series mentioned on my Favourite Podcast™! And I mean, the plot of the series The Golden Compass (aka Northern Lights) belongs to essentially boils down to two kids rebelling against and trying to kill God. 😀
Comment question!
In a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon situation, which Pokémon would you be turned into?
I got worried for a second that Brass had struck a nerve with Jin, asking them to impersonate a father figure, but then the moment passed, but I am sorry Jin didn’t have the sunny childhood all kids deserve. But at least Jin got out of there before the evil fox uncle moved in to tell Jin’s parents what to think and when. After all what would red blooded Americans do without their Fox News to tell them what they should do and think.
I’m no theological scholar, but I think the cross as a symbol in Christianity was more about the resurrection than the means of the death. Or in other words the belief that men tried to kill Jesus, but then a rabbit laid a chocolate egg which was so astounding, since bunnies don’t normally lay eggs that god decided to give Jesus a do over and brought him back to life. But then Jesus said screw you ungrateful lot of humans I’m going back home to live with Dad.
Why do I get the impression that both Jin and Brass got to where they are in spite of the US education system rather than because of it.
I’m guessing getting sick in the US isn’t a good thing to do unless you have insurance, so what happens then if you get you car run over by a monster truck on the way to the supermarket, (because in my head version of America that can happen) will the hospital just refuse to put the duck tape over all the bits leaking red stuff and send you home again?
Well a slightly depressing episode, but I get that things in New Trump land are probably not overly positive at the moment, especially if you have any sort of social or ethical bones in your body.
Now a question, if you could leave and go live on any planet which one would you like to live on an why?
Comments for the last episode seem to be closed, so I’m just going to put it in here because I had things to say, and damn it I made notes and everything so it must be said. :p
Ok so I’m a few episode behind again, thus any reference from this particular episode will sadly probably make no sense to you, since you’ve all forgotten what you spoke about by now, though that can often happen by the following week, soooo… Lets press on in any case.
I can’t believe the US military can get away with trying to draft children in order to let them play games at gaming events and getting people to sign conscription papers in exchange for a free gift has left me speechless. Those that would fall for such things probably shouldn’t be the sort of person you are giving high powered weaponry to. At least your not forcing children in to combat rolls… Um Brass, please tell me that is not happening yet. And I say yet, because after all you said in this episode Brass, the US military tactics to get new members does not sound remotely ethical in any way.
Aki please don’t spend your holiday in Sydney it’s just a big city, there is so much more to see than a modern city like so many others from around the world. Ok so start in Sydney then head down to visit your friend in Canberra, if you came with brass you could leave him in Canberra we have lots of national museums and nerdy stuff for him there. Then you could stop by the farm here as you continue your trip south. Then if you really are missing city life you can head over to Melbourne and from there head to where ever your heart desires we have so many amazing things to see in this country and you can even pick up a huntsman spider to take back for Brass since he loves base ball sized spiders so much… Oh come on Brass you know you love them, they are friendly and don’t actually hunt men, well not on Mondays anyway. Though the nice people at customs may not be so eager to let Aki steal the wild life, so damn I guess you will miss out there Brass.
