Alright, after spending the whole day free of the forums, the increased speed and reliability has nailed it: TGA forums are no more. On the plus side, it means the site is now crazy fast, and so browsing around isn't the frustrating exercise it was in the past. I'm now trying to get facebook comment integration instead, since it's what all the kids are using these days. I've also added the option for Hard-C ...

Remember when I finally succumbed to fan pressure and spent days setting up a forum for you guys? My original opposition to the idea was that the site still lacked the necessary interaction and involvement from fans to make the venture worthwhile. There's nothing more I hate in this world than an empty and dead forum, and right now, that's what we've got. With the plugins making the site more sluggish than ...

This week, my special guest is Dr. Andy Thomson, author of the book Why We Believe in Gods, and a psychiatrist with his own private practice in Charlottesville, VA. When he's not also teaching students at the University of Virginia, he's also a forensic psychiatrist and writes on evolutionary psychology.

Here are some of my favorite ridiculous tropes: 1) Harvard University is Jesus' #1 enemy, because there's learnin' going on there. 2) America apparently elects people that like killing babies (he may be referring to abortion, but I think their ICBM's do a better job. 3) You can't be a good Christians unless you can instantly kill somebody with a gun. 4) Secular progressives have abandoned God (that's why th ...

Little known fact about the meat planet: while there's an abundance of pork and beef, there seems to be a mysterious lack of chicken or fish. Are we to assume that such a large body of protein could have formed without attracting the lower gravity poultry in its orbit? Could coalescing chicken have a greater density than its bovine counter-part? Perhaps we shall never know... ...

After months of not being able to make the announcement (since the TV show featuring her record breaking attempt had yet to air), Carisa and I are finally able to announce to the world that she is now the proud recipient of a Guinness World Record for longest flaming torch tooth-hold (click on the link to see the video of her performance). She's been appearing in tons of different media outlets, including T ...

This week, my guest is fellow podcaster Geroge Hrab of the Geologic Podcast. We discuss the pros and cons of Internet stardom, Why Iron Man is better than Batman, and how we can change our image among believers. Come and get your fix! ...

We haven't done a mailbag in a long time, so I thought it might be a good idea if we did a crazy huge one for The Essentials DVD. Now, to make it more interesting, I want fans to send questions for each individual host as well. Carisa, Jeff, and Ryan are going to be in the hot-seat, and you'll be the ones putting them there. Of course, it wouldn't be a mailbag without some of you asking me a bunch of weird ...

This week, part 2 of our Bible Stories Book of Samuel, featuring David, his bromance with Jonathan, the fight with Goliath, and King Saul tries to kill him. Come and get your fix! ...

This week, we confront my 'Ageism' and discuss 'generational theory' and why the world is as crappy as it is. Plus, more on the Tea Party and who comprises their ranks.
