Topic: Cognitive Dissonance

[Johnny Slick]

This podcast is a'ight but it's lacking a little something... perhaps a pedantic history nerd who tried his own podcast over the summer but who couldn't keep his friends engaged. Perhaps this person ought to based out of, I don't know, just throwing this out there... Seattle. Now, where would you find somebody like that?

That's a good idea.  I'd love to help cohost this podcast!!

Skeptics Creed

Credulity is not a virtue. It's fortune cookie cutter, mommy issues, hypnobabble on Bullshit. Couched in scientician, double bubble toil and trouble, pseudo-quasi-alternative, acupunctuating, pressurized, steriogramed, pyramidal, free energy healing, water downward spiral, brain dead pan sales pitch late night, infodocutainment. Leo pisces, cancer cures, detox, reflex foot massage, death and towers, tarot cards, psychic healing, crystal balls, Bigfoot, yeti, aliens. Churches, mosques, and synagogues. Temples, dragons, giant worms, Atlantis, dolphins, truthers, birthers, witches, wizards, vaccine nuts, Shaman healers, evangelists, conspiracy double speak, stigmata nonsense. Expose your sides. Thrust your hands, bloody, evidential, conclusive. Doubt even this.

Close. Here is a pdf of the "The Skeptic's Creed." Written by Tom of Cognitive Dissonance

Great podcast.  Granted, the Irreligiosophy guys knew their bible a hell of a lot better, and I squirmed a little less because of that, these guys admit they have no idea, so I forgive their more blatant mistakes.  Otherwise, frikin hilarious.

It took me about 2-3 eps before I really got into CD. I liked Irr... that mormon show because the two guys knew their bible page and verse. CD you have to first get where they are coming from (basically out to give every religion the wedgie it deserves). A podcast is as much about the personalities ("the new friends you have between your ears") as it is about the information. Frankly, I could listen to DFA Rich Orman and co talk about college football for 60 minutes and I wouldn't care. I just love their chemistry.

CD gets more political. They're not ass hats though. The hosts have some great insights. I liked the one guy who read his letter to Rick Perry. The letter was brilliant.

I can't get past that guy saying "fuck" at least twice in every single sentence. And I'm a sailor.

I use the anger smiley to play along with stuff an awful lot, but truth be told when I saw the original response I laffed.

This podcast just keeps getting more and more hilarious.  I had to take a break from the elliptical to catch my breath after a laugh fest the other morning.
