You thought the last election was about change?
Well in 2012, some believe a dwarf star will travel near the Earth and bring about profound spiritual transformation or an apocalypse, take your pick.
We know a lot of you have been partying like it’s 1999 since 1983 and years 1984, 1999 and 2001 all came and went without a glitch. And now we’re all supposed to be anxious about the next cosmic doomsday, 2012?
On today’s show we have artist, gay dad and “2012 believer” Erik Sosa-Kibby and his partner Mark Sosa-Kibby to talk about being gay dads, their concern over the ominous year 2012 and if the Mayas were really on to something or were they just really bad at math.
I myself am waiting for Sam Raimi to bring back my all-time favorite TV show, Cleopatra 2525. Just 516 years to go before we will enter “a world where machines rule the earth. Mankind has been driven underground, and Cleopatra is about to discover there’s no place like home.”
Listen as we talk about the man who had over 50 traffic citations in one day and the woman who took her driving test over 700 times and failed every one of them. Why wouldn’t she just give up?
An 18-year-old suburban Milwaukee high school student is accused of blackmailing classmates into gay sex using Facebook. If convicted, he could face up to 300 years in prison.
Beau Breedlove, former legislative intern at the center of the controversy involving Portland Mayor Sam Adams speaks about their relationship. Is he just looking for attention? He just adopted a dog and named her Lolita, and claims the dogs name has nothing to do with his affair.
And you thought you had it bad when someone de-friends you, a British man man divorces his wife on Facebook without telling her.

The title references an Arthur C. Clark novel, Rendez-vous with Rama.
The “Rama” of the title is an alien starship, initially mistaken for an asteroid and named after the Hindu God Rama that enters our solar system and I figure Erik’s theories about 2012 and the dwarf star are about as strong as wet noodles, so there you go- Rendez-vous with Ramen Noodles
It’s true, Milwaukee is just chill, no matter what bar you go to. Boys I would be happy to hang out with you in Milwaukee, anytime. Marc and Fausto, you need to get back up here, sans weather issues.
Talk to everyone soon!!
Damn…I sound really spazy! I should learn how to summer donna!
Did Eric really say he was going to shit on your face Marc? lol
Yeah he did.
Josh, I would love to go up to the ‘Waukee anytime!
I have been to WI in a long time…sounds like a lot has changed…might have to visit my friends/family there in the near future…
dude dude dude
EVERYONE, come on up, it’s a blast….we can have a cook-out LOL
I was listening to the show while doing some drawing. When Fausto said “All you gotta do as gay dads, play a little Shakira and you’re done” I laughed so hard I had to stop whatever I was doing!
In any case, Erik and Mark make for a very adorable couple and great guests to have for the show.
So glad to hear from Erik. He’s so fucking entertaining.
Mr and Mr Sosa-Kibby are great fun to listen to. Why are some gay dads so much more entertaining than my straight female friends who talk about their babies like they’re the Second Coming?
And Rhea when you say Second Coming I assume you mean Dec. 21, 2012. Sorry Erik but you are sounding a little crazy but I love you anyway. Even the end of the world is funny on the Feast of Fools.
Seriously no worries..if i worried about what people thought of me…well..let’s just say..you talk to me as if i care! HA. I seriously think when the movie 2012 come out in June..we all get a huge party and go!!!!! Fausto???? Marc????
I think its rude that marc and fausto mock you like that. I remember in one podcast Marc says he like to hear conspiracy theories just to laugh at them or something. If Marc can believe that blagoyavich’s father in law had something to do with his impeachment or that Bush knowling told lies to get us into war with iraq, why would he not stretch his imagination to include stuff that is outside the set of knowledge were supposted to believe.
Fausto said he believed that conspiracy theorist need conspiracies becasue they have childlike mentalities. I think this is a bit of projection on Faustos part. Only a naive person like Fausto would want to desparatley hold on the fact that people in power have only the best intentions forthe people they are supposted to take care of. Do you really think drug companies dont supress cures? do you really think insurace companies have nothing to do with us not having universal healthcare? grow up
Lets have more totally wacky off the wall podcasts like this. I loved Eric’s ravings. At least 2012 won’t be boring.
To be clear, I don’t think of 2012 as a conspiracy theory, it is a doomsday scenario which I think is ridiculous, worthy of mocking. I like Erik very much but I think 2012 is cacamamy, but I will be first in line with Erik to see that movie.
ughhh.. truth be told… look at the news.. 2012 will be one of the hottest dates on record..this is measures bu sun spots and solar flares..2012 is not a doomsday scenerio..however, it can be viewed as such. weather patterns have been/ and will continue to be disupted. My belief is the worst of these measures are yet to come. weather its 2012 or not is not the point for me. i just want to have a plan of action should communication systems be disrupted, choas is abound. is that so wrong to be prepared?
weather 2012.. i know how to spell… but no pun intended!
Who made that outrageous claim? Nobody even tries to predict the weather 10 days from now, much less three years from now!
Love Eric’s visits to the show he is such a giggle.
I had fun listening to this episode. I can make a 2012-related prediction that NOBODY can contradict:
In the year 2012, the citizens of United States of America will choose a person who will serve for the next four years as President. Additionally, they will choose every member of the House of Representatives, and one-third of the Senators. This event will determine the future of not only the country, but also the world. Additionally, the world will meet in London to engage in the Summer Olympic games, an event with many potential political and economic consequences.
And somehow..somewhere ..people will die! HA
“And I will eat all the leaves of the trees, and all the berries of the bushes, and some animals might DIE….for I am an evil giraffe.” Love you Eric, and love Eddie Izzard (hopefully you were quoting him)
