Great episode. I was looking for the beat poem link, but did not see it. Can you post it on website or in comments? If I just missed it, feel free to point out my ineptitude. 🙂
Sorry, our ineptitude! It’s on there now. =)
Another great show, gentlemen.
Regarding the Westboro Baptist Church: oh, yes, these fuckers are dead serious. Kevin Smith has spent the better part of the past two years talking with some of them on Twitter. The back and forth, as well as the mentally unstable dogma that is spewed with it, is remarkable at times.
The church and it’s founder, Fred Phelps, live by this batshit ideology of hate towards anyone who isn’t them. For an example of the type of people they are you should take a look at Malcolm Ingram’s documentary Small Town Gay Bar. In part of it, Ingram manages to get an interview with Fred Phelps. It is astounding how much of an asshat this guy is and definitely worth watching.
Zakary, thanks for the documentary recommendation.
