This is what the guys cover in the episode, and its exciting to see what direction the conversation goes! Iowa Catholic Ra...

Not only are we being dorks by referring to Antichrist via a Brady Bunch meme, but we have made a "tribute" episode...to one of the best unusable shows we recorded!

But God in h...
