Baph and Mel Become Non-Christian!25 Dec 202301:14:11

This is our last episode of 2023! We have a great chat with James Aames, author of "How to Become a non-Christian. James shares his experience with religion and how he was able to break away from its chains and write a book about it. Due to privacy reasons, James is unable to show his face on camera.

Pick up James' book here: https://www.amazon.com/How-Become-non-Christian-escaping-delusion/dp/B0CMWSG8RH/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

Baph and Mel Get Trolled29 Mar 202101:07:56

Desperate to be on the podcast, Jeff (The Atheist Troll from TikTok) sent us $30 the night before! We had no other option but to say yes to the poor dude. In this episode, Jeff shares his personal story, going from good catholic boy to appearing in Malaysian TV news for blaspheming, as well as having the unparalleled ability to constantly get banned on TikTok. Will his 7th account get banned by the time this episode airs?

It's All About Al Bitty Buddha22 Mar 202101:04:42

Baph and Mel are getting better at finding people who have nothing better to do on a Tuesday night. For this episode, we are joined by the fast-talking and all-knowing Al Bitty (@BittyBuddha on TikTok). She comes to the show to share her experiences with religion, including severe indoctrination, deconstruction, returning to the faith, and breaking free from mental slavery. We also talk about evil babies. Will she slow it down for us? Will the episode just be 10 minutes?
A special Thank You goes to our friend Atheist Chico (@AtheistChico on TikTok) for the hilarious intro. 

Baph and Mel and The Latter Day Saints15 Mar 202101:02:26

For this episode, we had to sell our bodies to come up with $20 so we could pay our guest....it was well worth it! Our friend Obi (@ObiSwanDog from TikTok) joins us to educate us about the Mormon church and how fucking crazy it is. We talk about magic stones, golden plates, missions, prophets, magic underwear, and cannibalism. Will Obi see Baph's cleavage as promised?
