Matt's sister, Meg, joins us again this week for a short(ish) show to cover some lighthearted fare and news items.

80 - Democratic Primary Debate II
November 19th, 2015
Meg (Matt's mostly silent but nevertheless awesome sister) joins us in-studio to go over the second Democratic primary debate.
Sanders stumbled on one of the questions, but nobody on stage seemed to notice Clinton justifying her cozy Wall Street ties... because 9/11. Speaking of going unnoticed, Martin O'Malley was on stage, and seemed to be there for the sole purpose of reminding the moderators when it was time for a commercial break.
79 - Mormon Families Are Forever… Unless You’re Gay
November 12th, 2015
Matt, Dan, and Ryan weigh in on the recent policy change enacted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (you know - the Mormons). The church's new policy bans all children from receiving blessings, ordinances, callings, and missions if they are living in a same-sex household until they are 18. At that time, children must disavow the practice of same-sex cohabitation or marriage, and they must stop living with their gay parent(s) in order to become a fully participating member or to maintain their status as a member in good standing.
This change sent a shock-wave through not only the community of gay LDS Church members, but through the membership at large. Many true-believing Mormons have been struggling with the implications of this policy change, and many have said that they are now willing to resign from the church's official member roll.
78 - GOP Primary Debate IV
November 12th, 2015
Matt, Dan, and Ryan sit down in the Godless Rebelution studio again for coverage of the fourth Republican party primary debate.
Because the participants in the kids' table event are irrelevant at this point (and because we're tired of them), we decided to skip full coverage of the kids' table event, but we do mention some of the highlights at the beginning of the show. This allowed us some time to record another small(ish) show to talk about the LDS Church's recent policy change that is causing quite a stir among both believers and non-believers all over the world.
This was a pretty tame debate with very little mud-slinging among the featured candidates, but there were also a few compelling takeaways, the main one being that Jeb Bush looks and sounds like he'd rather be doing anything he could possibly imagine besides running for President.
This episode is also LOADED with dick jokes, so there's that.
77 - With Felicia Entwistle
November 5th, 2015
Felicia Entwistle joins Matt, Dan, and Ryan in-studio to talk about Atheists of Utah, the Utah Outcasts podcast, some news, and a lively debate about proselytizing in public schools.
