Episode 181: Sunrise Baptismal Floods in Marijuanaville.
Wednesday, March 21st, 2012
OK, so the title is a glaring case of word salad. So is the show. The Manly Doctors of Mahem move meticulously and seemlessly from a discussion of sunrise services and other Easter atrocities to an in-depth discussion of the typologies of 1 Peter 3 including the descensus ad infera and the connection between the Flood and Baptism, which now saves you. along with Pat Robertson and legalized marijuana. But wait! There’s more! The Feast of St. Joseph! Is this show ready for prime time or what?
