What if God was one of us? Well he's not, but a lot of people substitute celebrities for God, and they are one of us. Although they do seem to be able to get away with a lot more than a normal person. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's raining politics, kids and Hollywood OH MY! Kristyn Burtt gives us the low down in Hollywood from what is a must see movie to rappers being shot.

They say Jews make the best comedy writers.  We put that to the test by having Roy do some material immediately before we talk about children dying.  Some may consider that to be cruel.

There's nothing good on TV. All the more reason to read books, right? One of those books is called Lacks Self-Control, by Roy. It's got a lot of stories with bad endings, but in a funny way. It's a comedy of errors kind of thing. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices.

Everyone thinks movies are making more money than ever, but movies in the 50s had a distinct advantage: they only made one worth watching every few years. Still, 200 million dollars in a week is pretty good. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jerry Springer and Africa have both had troubled histories. There's some instability there. They should both take some cues from what recently became the least unstable scripted network TV show in history. If either of them can last 30 years without something bad happening, I think a lot of people will be surprised. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You don't have to be a good singer to be a good singer. That sounds impossible, but consider Bob Dylan. Unfortunately, the same lax attitude cannot be taken toward comedy, which means traveling deep into purgatory to perform at comedy clubs that don't actually exist. Good story material, though.

All us young people aren't as religious as in the past. Maybe that's a mistake, since young people are all constantly upset whereas elderly nuns tend to be pretty carefree. Perhaps we should all marry Jesus. Half of marriages end in divorce anyway. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Einstein wasn't just physics. Some of his opinions involved, for example, Chinese people. They weren't all bad, but you know. You know what is all bad? Political corruption.

Unless you live in the city, life is a constant vigil against ticks who will kill you if they touch you. At least that's what Bob and Kathryn seem to believe. Phil is more concerned with matters of voice acting, though he did voice a character in The Tick. It's not quite the same. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This hour we address two different types of parenthood. First, being the parent of a wild animal. To sum it up, don't do it. Then we move onto the father/daughter relationship, which while strong in Italian culture is often neglected elsewhere. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bad news for people who always dreamed of being a subsistence farmer: technology has taken that job. For the rest of us, that means more actually fun jobs.

A tin star is bad news if there's a notorious outlaw in your town. A silver star is an honor. A gold star is great when you're in grade school, but if you're related to someone in the military, it's something you don't want. For those who get one anyway, there's the Gold Star Ride Foundation. They like the military and they especially like motorcycles. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In private, a lot of people have favorable views toward porn. It's great, right? Maybe not. Humans seem to be designed specifically to get destructively addicted to things, and porn is one of them. It sounds weird until you consider how many people get addicted to pulling the lever on a slot machine. It doesn't take much. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
