Naked Diner

The Satanic Temple Arizona made big time news earlier this year with their attempt to give an invocation at the Phoenix, AZ city council meeting. After initial approval, the council reversed their invitation by voting to abandon pre-meeting prayers for a moment of silence, only to double back and make a new rule re-instating prayer, but only to be lead by local fire and police chaplains. This week on Naked Diner, Jack (sans co-host Andy) sits down with Stu De Haan and Michelle Shortt, the two (now co-chapter head) members of Arizona’s Satanic Temple chapter for a discussion about the aims of The Satanic Temple and it’s role in separation of church and state issues. Watch: the Phoenix city council meeting that voted to end pre-meeting invocations Watch: city councilman Sal DiCiccio get his ass handed to him by local reporter Brahm Resnik because … Read: what an appeal to popular opinion fallacy is Then, go check out The Satanic Temple’s actual Tenants and see if you disagree with them. If you don’t, and you’re in Arizona, consider the Satanic Temple Arizona’s Facebook page as something you might want to look into.   So yeah … enjoy this episode and we’ll see you next week. Andy will be back and it’ll be the 4th of July.   As always you can find Jack at: https://twitter.com/ledflashing And Andy At: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/laughingindisbelief/ or https://twitter.com/laughpurgatory. amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit0"; amzn_assoc_search_bar = "true"; amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "zxcr-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_title = "From Guests of the Show"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "f8f2941afc01beac7b0a804f20960bae"; amzn_assoc_asins = "1449479677,0982853718,B005FYCGIK,B00TA2IB7I";

Trae is youtube’s “Liberal Redneck” , and a really great guy. I’ve really got to say gang, I know Trae grew up in the south and I grew up in the North east, but technically we’re both from parts of the Appalachian mountains so there’s a lot of things he talked about that I was really able to identify with. He’s a genuinely funny dude and we had a terrific talk. If his tour comes through your town you should totally check him out. You can find out more about Trae on his Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/traecrowder/, his Twitter: https://twitter.com/traecrowder. and especially check out his youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTHsQd-vRXK1bp4vpifl6yA As always you can find Jack at: https://twitter.com/ledflashing and http://zxh-creative.com And Andy At: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/laughingindisbelief/ or https://twitter.com/laughpurgatory.

I guess if I had to sum this episode up in one word it would be: baudy … which is a word I don’t get to use enough in my day-to-day and that’s great. Kaytlin’s second stop in the diner is full of a lot of funny but it’s also weirdly personal and kind of intense sometimes. You’ll also get to hear some crazy behind the scenes info about how rules and regulations make it really hard to plan a one-woman show, and an awesome excerpt from her show Cuntagious, which you can then totally go buy tickets for at United Solo on October 6th in New York: http://unitedsolo.org/us/cuntagious-2016/ (which is a thing you should definitely do if you are or will be anywhere near NYC October 6th). You can find more Kaytlin at her websites: http://kaytlinbailey.com and http://www.cuntagiouslaughter.com as well as on her super funny twitter feed https://twitter.com/KaytlinBailey As always you can find Jack at: https://twitter.com/ledflashing And Andy At: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/laughingindisbelief/ or https://twitter.com/laughpurgatory. AND you can also support us on Patreon now at http://www.patreon.com/nakeddiner where you can sign up to be come a patron and get cool perks like access to next week’s episode early and a bunch of upcoming bonus content we’re going to be pulling together. So … please do that. amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit0"; amzn_assoc_search_bar = "true"; amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "zxcr-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_title = "From Guests of the Show"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "f8f2941afc01beac7b0a804f20960bae"; amzn_assoc_asins = "1449479677,0982853718,B005FYCGIK,B00TA2IB7I";

Hey gang … Wow, what a crazy week it was for co-host Andy and I. We’re still trying to sort out what the heck generated this level of interest in our show all of a sudden, and we love you for it. Really. I feel better about .. just about everything. Validation like this is a gift:   Funny thing though. If you’re a fan of the show you know we’ve been running audible and Amazon ads. I’ve got to tell you … they’re less than great. Not where we’d like to be. The truth is, we do this show out of pocket. I have a career out here in Tempe, AZ and Andy works like 3 night jobs in Brockton, MA while being the primary caregiver to his 3 kids. If we could get the show to the point where Andy could quit just one of his jobs … that would just be the best thing ever and we’d definitely make you more things. So we made this: http://www.patreon.com/nakeddiner Please, really really truly please. If you like our show and you like what we do please at least consider becoming a patron. Our episodes will still go out like they always have every Monday for everyone for free, but we’ll be posting all kinds of bonus content starting later this month that only patrons will be able to see and enjoy, you’ll get the perks that we talk about on there, it’s win-win. We just need this. I’ll be honest, monetizing a podcast is HARD. And that’s kind of ok because in all honesty it doesn’t cost a lot of money to do .. but it does cost a lot of “sweat equity”. Wrangling guests, juggling schedules, taping, editing, publishing, hosting … these things all take a lot of work that Andy and I do because we love it … but we do kind of feel like at this point we should get some monetary kudos for it. So if you like the show … become a patreon patron . Please. Now then. Coming Monday (6/13)! Comedian and star of the one-woman show Contagious: Kaytlin Bailey! Coming 6/20! Comedian and youtube’s Liberal Redneck: Trae Crowder! And on 6/27 Michelle Shortt and Stu De Haan, chapter heads of The Satanic Temple-Arizona Chapter amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit0"; amzn_assoc_search_bar = "true"; amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "zxcr-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "manual"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_title = "From Guests of the Show"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "f8f2941afc01beac7b0a804f20960bae"; amzn_assoc_asins = "1449479677,0982853718,B005FYCGIK,B00TA2IB7I";

Dolon Hickmon’s book 13:24 is a both a crime novel and a harrowing trip into the Christian “physical disipline” subculture built around books like To Train Up a Child (regular listeners will be familiar with this subject from Episode 4. with Peter Mosley and his experiences with his parents application of the teachings of Bill Gothard). Andy and Jack invite Dolon to talk about his own experiences as a child in this subculture, and using those experiences to deliver a powerful critique of how these methods can lead to systematic abuse and long term psychological damage. I’m not going to kid around, this episode gets pretty dark.
