Also, our good friend and future Spill dot Con showman Jason Neulander stops by to chat with us about the upcoming Intergalactic Nemesis tour. Check it....

The "Hall of Debauchery" should be the name.

Ugh, even as a christian I have a pet peeve for anyone who holds a belief just because they were raised to believe that. I was raised as a christian, but from about ten to fifteen I took a step back and started asking myself questions about why I believed what I did. And once I figured oh, its just because I was raised that way I kind of just renounced it and was agnostic for a few years.

But then about twice a month I will meet some person who is intolerantly religious. And then when they start off on their whole we are so oppressed and society at large is against us, or whatever it is and I ask an example one of two things will happen.

1) Either they will just kind of stand there and stutter because, holy crap some christian just questioned another.

2) Or they will start yelling about how those damn atheists are even coming into churches to try an undermine us. And then they won't believe me when I say that I am a christian.

Either way it pisses me off to an incredible amount.

Speaking of Who's Line Is It Anyway, you should look up the bloopers from season 1. They're on youtube and I was laughing my ass off the entire time.

I dislike this style of LEOG... Its just a lesser form of LDT.

@Mandy Savage: Yeah, for the 1 or 2 minutes she actually talked. :P

honestly my biggest bitch about religion in politics is just the general disenfranchisement between the state and any public institution.

the government is not supposed to endorse anything, and make sure no one is being actively discriminated against by religion.

it is religious tolerance not religious freedom. everyone is supposed to be allowed to practice what they want. nowhere does it say you are free from someone's beliefs.

we live in harmony i say merry christmas you say solemn Ramadan and neither blink an eye.

not pleasant small talk violates my vow of silence therefore we should all have to communicate via text message so my 100 followers are not condemned to live their lives in isolation.

the christian right war on Christianity is used as a forced perspective to champion christian policies but while misguided it does have a point. IMO the further rulings and laws explicitly banning religion in public drives us apart when it needs to bring us together.

Hey Cyrus, I know you like Wes Anderson, what do you think of this tribute I edited?

That Mandy Savage sounds like a sexy lady.

@PurpleSubmarine: I agree that I would like a LEOG based around a theme or special guest. I will also say that I didn't like LEOG shortly after Leon took over but I got used to it. I would like to see where this new directionless direction takes LEOG and it's loyal listeners.

I have to disagree with Steven. This show has lost the structure that I thought kept the show flowing and funny. With Leon in charge it felt like it kept moving and the topics were educational and informative. Cyrus is really laid back and doesn't take control of the conversation and so things tend to trail off(Which is probably the reason why I gave up Remote viewing so quickly because I found it so boring) whereas Leon would take control and direct everyone to a question or a different topic, keeping the tempo upbeat. Having a topic every week gave me something to look forward to, especially if I was interested in the topic. I think you need to pump more nerd back into the podcast. Frankly Korey was right, you don't really talk about comic books anymore (To be fair I wasn't able to finish this podcast so It might've changed). Now its just BS'ing and we have Let's Do This for that. It works for them because they have high energy, more charisma, and an edge to them. I understand I have the unpopular opinion here, I'm just voicing my grievances because I'm leading towards the Leog break up..temporarily. I hope things pick up but if this is working for you guys and the rest of the audience then you have my blessing. Thanks for the years of entertainment! I hope it continues.

Shaddowkhan, it's kind of arrogant to say you represent the rest of the world, don't you think?

Whoa, WAIT...someone getting nasty with Cyrus and Leon?

*STARES INTENSELY and does a slow Hulk Hogan finger wag*

Let it go, gentlemen...

I gotta say, I for one have been REALLY enjoying the last two months or so of LEOGs. I know you guys like to have a set topic as a rule and don't get me wrong I love those too. But I've just found these last weeks so entertaining and I LOVE the more freeform discussion on anything and everything outside of your chosen news/personal story items.

And I also really dig the first segment of just Leon and Cyrus talking. To be fair, I could listen to those two guys all day and night and do anyways with their back catalog of podcasts and reviews. You ALL rock, especially Rubio who has been so on form lately, I daren't eat or drink when he's talking because I usually end up choking with unbridled mirth....

Am I the only person who remembers Sweeney Todd? Both Sasha Baron Cohen and Alan Rickman sang in it.

Also, Rickman in "Help, I'm a Fish"

Apparently, DSWynne, you only listened to the parts of that discussion that you felt like hearing, and read a whole lot into the rest.

I've always said that the board game Don't Wake Daddy would make a fantastic horror movie

@Silent Protagonist: ... huh?

That's one hell of a wild assumption you've made simply from my animated gif posting.

Fuck you Leon, sincerely the rest of the world

There are different types of Atheist and Agnostics I just wonder why Cyrus doesn't spend equal time talking about his viewpoints on Bigfoot, Unicorns and etc. Couldn't imagine reading books titled Bigfoots are not Great or The end of Bigfoots.

Honestly what Cyrus said wasn't all that offensive. I mean he made a great point, but at the same time didn't demonize everyone associated with the religion.
