Kitchen appliances and plumbing tips; homemade Bay Rum aftershave, Political Science for Dummies, on being “weak on sanctification,” Heidelberg Thesis 21, and “Me & Julio Down by the Schoolyard.” We don’t know how to tie this one together, so we’re pouring Flying Monkey Martini’s and spinning “Billions of Brazilians” by Don Tiki.

Episode 181: Sunrise Baptismal Floods in Marijuanaville.
OK, so the title is a glaring case of word salad. So is the show. The Manly Doctors of Mahem move meticulously and seemlessly from a discussion of sunrise services and other Easter atrocities to an in-depth discussion of the typologies of 1 Peter 3 including the descensus ad infera and the connection between the Flood and Baptism, which now saves you. along with Pat Robertson and legalized marijuana. But wait! There’s more! The Feast of St. Joseph! Is this show ready for prime time or what?

Jasan Kaspar entertains with “I Want to Tell the Story,” Chris Loemker delivers a rousing reprise of “Skate Onward” on the mighty Cwirlizer.
