Once upon a time there was a regular Zeitcast. Sadly, it was consigned to the bin because of the failures of a telephony program which rhymes with Trype.
What you have here is something new and something strange.
Lock up your daughters.

Bravo to the Zeitcast crew for the best podcast yet. Well done to all participants!
June 6, 2008 at 12:24 pm
meh.
Once I get over pouting, I’ll return to comment about how this probably was the best ZC yet.
June 6, 2008 at 12:30 pm
Told you! Booyah.
June 6, 2008 at 12:31 pm
You should invite the Chipmunks to all your Podcasts.
June 6, 2008 at 12:36 pm
ESO, was it playing at an abnormal speed for you? If that happens, try downloading the file and playing it instead of using the in-line player. Stapley had similar problems.
June 6, 2008 at 12:37 pm
That was really funny. Good work, boys, though I can’t believe you called me a racist and/or social elitist, I mean just because poor people with a different ethnicity than I am make me extremely uncomfortable doesn’t mean, oh. wait. that’s awkward. huh, who knew?
Also, if I were Jesus, and knew my possible 2nd coming losership would produce the same feelings as Indy IV, my feelings would be hurt. Real bad.
June 6, 2008 at 12:38 pm
mine was also playing fast. I thought it was part of the shtick. It was funny.
June 6, 2008 at 12:43 pm
Mmmm. Trype.
June 6, 2008 at 12:54 pm
It worked OK for me when I clicked on “Play in Popup”.

Anyone want to join my splinter Church?

Brad,
Your Jesus offers his hand in friendship, except you can’t feel it.
June 6, 2008 at 1:25 pm
Now, c’mon Ronan, not all Mormons of a certain age had books by Cleon Skousen in their homes.
June 6, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Just the righteous ones . . .
June 6, 2008 at 1:46 pm
#12, OUCH.
June 6, 2008 at 2:02 pm
Besides, which of his books are not among the “crazy” ones?
If you want a weird out-of-body experience, read “The Naked Communist” and then, before you come up for air (it gets kind of deep), dive right back in to “The Naked Capitalist.”
And then, go to Amazon and read the Readers’ Reviews of those books. Proof positive that the nuts are still on the loose.
June 6, 2008 at 2:03 pm
Liked the Skousen comments, “conservative chap” indeed. That phrase had me smiling right up until the vile cereal. Coco puffs with skull marshmallows. Ew.
June 6, 2008 at 2:15 pm
Jami, Cocoa Puffs would have been a step up.
June 6, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Oh, then EWWW.
June 6, 2008 at 4:15 pm
Doesn’t French have a “ts” sound at the beginning of any words?
June 6, 2008 at 4:40 pm
Doesn’t anyone realize that three of Skousen’s books are classics?
http://www.timesandseasons.org/?p=4580 (comment #144)
June 6, 2008 at 4:44 pm
Yeah, Ray. Just like the Classic Combo at Wendy’s. Greasy, sickly sweet, and, after three hours, ready for the ashheap of history.
June 6, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Wow! A chipmunk with a British accent.
June 6, 2008 at 4:50 pm
sigh, mmiles, we’ve heard the chipmunk thing already. See comments #3, 5, and 7. Not sure why some users have that problem. Try downloading the file instead of the in-line player.
June 6, 2008 at 4:53 pm
I really thought it was on purpose.
June 6, 2008 at 4:55 pm
No, it wasn’t.
June 6, 2008 at 4:59 pm
That’s too bad, and to think I waited all week, wondering where the zeitcast was. At least my kids were highly entertained, and the Indiana Jones music wasn’t on high speed.
June 6, 2008 at 5:06 pm
Eh, piss off, Ray.
June 6, 2008 at 5:21 pm
I will brook no discussion of that hack Thomas Jefferson or his lousy educational models here.
June 6, 2008 at 5:33 pm
Thank you, Steve.
June 6, 2008 at 6:08 pm
Steve Evans: Dewey’s man through and through…
June 6, 2008 at 6:12 pm
Ronan #12 – funniest comment of the day. Awesome.
June 6, 2008 at 6:49 pm
It won’t play at all for me. Not the player, not the pop up, and not the download. The first two it just says “loading” and then doesn’t do anything (I’ve never had that problem before.) The download after awhile says can’t find server.
I’m bummed.
June 6, 2008 at 7:04 pm
Kevin, it says “loading” for me for quite a while, but after an excruciating 30-45 seconds it does start playing. (previous zeitcasts have always started immediately for me) Maybe you just need to wait longer? YMMV.
June 6, 2008 at 7:07 pm
I waited a lot longer than a minute, and nothing.
June 6, 2008 at 7:14 pm
It was a real load, Kevin.
June 6, 2008 at 7:15 pm
Hm. Bummer. Echelon strikes again! [shakes fist at the sky]
June 6, 2008 at 7:24 pm
Ah, finally. I got the pop up to work, but it was the chipmunks thing. But I finally got the download to go through. So I’m starting to listen to it now. Yay!
June 6, 2008 at 7:32 pm
Yeah, the women have to learn how to do the polygamist flip. It doesn’t come naturally.
On my mission I knew a guy who had been an EQP, but at the time we knew him he was taking a break and living the single high life, bedding the ladies and drinking the wine. He was trying to be a ladies man, but I had to laugh that he had a line of Cleon Skousen books on his bookshelf. You can’t take the oddball Mormon out of the boy. He had these cigarettes made from cocoa powder or something so he could affect smoking without actually doing it, and he gave us some. Fun way to freak out your fellow missionaries by whipping out a cigarette and lighting up!
June 6, 2008 at 7:36 pm
You make your jokes where the batty hornets of the message boards can’t reach you, and mock those of us who are swarmed merely for reminding them of their past barbarity.
Cowards.
June 6, 2008 at 7:39 pm
Wow, Steve, that’s quite a string of movies you get to see all in a row! Lucky dog.
June 6, 2008 at 7:42 pm
Don’t laugh, Steve, my bishop when I was a youth told me exactly that, that I would live to see the Second Coming. We’re running out of time, I’m afraid.
June 6, 2008 at 7:47 pm
Kevin, start on a vegan health diet pronto! If you start to go, the gig is up!
June 7, 2008 at 1:19 am
Re: chipmunks. It might be due to the fact that we hosted the mp3 file somewhere else to save bandwidth. I’ll make some tweaks.
June 7, 2008 at 9:32 am
Cleon Skousen’s complete works are available here. The CD-Rom is what I own.
Speaking of section 129, I’ve written a letter to the FP suggesting that sections 129-131 be removed from the next edition of the Doctrine and Covenants. I’m still waiting for a response.
June 7, 2008 at 9:48 am
It’s clear that Jesus’s people need to get out there in front of the story right now and start lowering expectations.
Frankly, that’s probably why He hasn’t come back yet. Initially, people were expecting he’d come back by 50 AD or so and it would be great. But now that there’s been all of this dramatic build-up — holding out for a big surprise ending for 2000 some years — expectations are really high.
Under these circumstances, it can’t help but suck. You’ll be suckling pure celestial ambrosia and thinking, “meh, I figured this would be heavenly, but somehow I expected it would trump everyday heavenly.”
Jesus’s people need to start tamping down expectations now, if they don’t want this thing to be all build-up and no deliver.
June 7, 2008 at 10:29 am
Gee, I was wondering where the Zeitcast was. Thanks for the Indy music and dialogue. I just watched it with my kids yesterday, so it’s squeaky fresh in my brain right now.
And, it’s my humble observation/opinion, that you guys need to follow a more mystical tradition with your LDS-ism. Imagine, saying that Skousen stuff and shaking hands stuff is crazy. You humanists, you!
