Are you guys saying 'a light show in my uterus'? Holy shit!
Raised Catholic, here. My mom would have said, "God lets things happen....." You get the picture.
Sir Illinois and Indiana are not the same how could you tarnish Illinois good name. Thats like saying Salt Lake City Tooele its the same.
Wish I had some money to give you guys. Both of you are awesome.
As a former Tooele resident its bad Frank and Dan you know what i'm talking about.
Lol jesus you sound so old and down on young students.
In my early 20's I moved from Chicago to SLC. I was definitely fired from my first job for not being Mormon.
Not even a thing the Democrat party. It's Democratic Party.
چقد خجسته و سرخوش🤣❤️
Great show guys!
ken ham claims on his site that he didn't say that, and then quotes the text where he says exactly that.
Kate was great! 🙂

Turned it off when you guys were creaming your pants over how Biden is such a strong religious man.
listening on Jan. 20th Biden is still president.
Great show guys, keep to the good work!
24:00 eles falam do Brasil
Talk about Pete as killing it again and am dumping this podcast. You don't get to be proud of a candidate doing something as awesome as being one of the top presidential candidates and being gay...if at the same time are a corporate dem. Do some fucking research. He will not be fighting for the people. He will be fighting for the donors the represents. Pete will not be fighting for the progressive platform.
I thought you were going to goof on the church of Kanye he was in SLC on Sunday.
Slobbering over Pete because he is gay is silly. Pay attention to policies they are fighting for. Did you know Pete was in attendance at the "what to do about Bernie" corporate meeting?
