This week, Noah takes a week off and hopes for the best.

The military phonetic alphabet spells it alpha, they just didn’t want to be thought to be Greek and hence gay or something.

Markus Nävergård

Bats change into new species allt he time over like 2-3 generations

Harper Court

So, did the guest and Noah both watch this before they got sick?

Parlan Stuart

I'm... I'm not over a thousand... **sobs in old** ;)

Sarah Rodriguez

Been hoping you boys would do these for a while now. Looking forward to more in the future.

Another great episode, but that comment about how the majority of Americans didn't believe in evolution in 1991 really sent me down a depressing rabbit hole. Apparently, only 58% of the US population today believes in evolution, and about half of of them are theistic evolutionists. This is why we can't have nice things...

Were you joking, or did you really say that Isaac Asimov was gay? He most certainly was not. He did die of AIDS: he got it from a blood transfusion, before they learned how to protect the blood supply.

James Robbins

I am Orange County born and raised and Calvary Chapel is well known here. OC also has Trinity Broadcasting, they have a wealth of BS propaganda, some of which contains Steven Baldwin!

Miss Ann

Exactly. He was kind of pervy with young women.

Denise Huston

Feel like they might be confusing Asimov and Clark.

Sparrow

There are 13 volumes of this in total Volume 2 is titled "Invasion of the Godmen", which sounds like a 50s Japanese horror movie 😆

General Contact Unit Problem Child

I think the CGI graphics in this might have actually been pretty good for this period, ….at least on the budget they probably had. I mean does anyone else remember what Beast Wars looked like and that was a few years after this?

Ah, a time when the Christian right agreed Hitler was a bad guy and the best and brightest they had was Roy Comfort and his banana. This was like being cuddled in a warm blanket and opening a time capsule from back before we skewed off the timeline.

My ex-brother-in-law was the spawn of Calvary Chapel, he only lived there for a few years when he was like 5 - 13 years old, but he continued to talk about it like he founded the place. He's a garbage person.

Elizabeth McIntyre

Yeah. It’s a classic case of the times being very different. In the 50s and early 60s, scifi was pretty much exclusively male. I grew up reading it avidly, and I was hard-put to find a female character other than a damsel in distress (Asimov’s Susan Calvin was a stunning exception), never mind a female author. I think most of those authors enjoyed being in an exclusive boys’ club, and behaved in ways we wouldn’t accept today, until people like Joanna Russ began to show up.

What book does Eli think he's referencing at 29:48?

Skeptibrarian

I cringed in librarian when Melville Dewey’s name came up.

Talyn

Oh you sweet summer Eli, trust me the indoctrination trips were there in the Soviet Union. Now, the museums weren't always of science but even when they were they would find a way to glorify Dear Leader, or else.

Chani Orr

"screen" time. Because a filter is a screen? Love it

Chani Orr

Noticing a pattern, are you?

Ry Toast

My partner and I are both autistic and Eli’s “Chuck Smith is Wearing Glasses” song is now a regular stim in our house. So yes good episode lolol

Markus D

@Denise Oh, that's got to be it. I was really confused because it sounded vaguely familiar, but I knew it wasn't the right person. I used to get those two mixed up.

Markus D

This is why I support science-based re-education camps for the American people.

Fun fact: the karate chop was in there because many Christian groups during the satanic panic, including my church, believed that karate and all things Asian culture were demonic. But don’t worry, they totally weren’t racist because they still liked Chinese food…sometimes.
