#149: Changing the Political Landscape with Ron, Garnet, and Jerry The local political discussion continues with Cellar Door Skeptics as they interview politics at the local level who will help make a difference in our society. The GOP continues to want to claim states rights is the only way to go. Well we feel we need to fight back by taking local politics back while moving Michigan from a hazy red toward a strong blue. The wave is coming and without your voice, we can not change society to be more progressive without you. This week we talk with Ron Draayer running for office in the 72 district, Garnet Lewis in the 26th District, and Jerry in the 89th district. The common theme we talk about is helping the populous of Michigan, while continuing to help those in need. Each candidate focuses on how they can help shape Michigan to be more humanistic in their values while protecting minorities and creating as fair a landscape as possible.

By now you know that the show is discussing local politics and the importance of getting out to vote this November. This week the duo interview candidates in Tanner’s district in Ottawa County. Tanner meets with both candidates to talk about their stories, their desire to improve our society, and what got them into politics. This week is special as Tanner connects with people who affect his local community and the communities around him. They talk through healthcare in Michigan with an emphasis on Mental Health and how Michigan could be better at working through their issues with healthcare. But the meat of the episode is when Tanner talks with both guests on their entry into politics, how they are more humanistic than the GOP counterparts, while continuing to work toward the electorate.

#145: Demon Rats Summon Brett Kavanagh from the Dead “In the immortal words of BMO: Sometimes life is scary and dark. That is why we must find the light.” Cellar Door Skeptics takes a serious turn this week looking at the Brett Kavanagh situation and some the ridiculous arguments people are using to try and demonize those who support the women he abused. We look into why people feel the need to try and minimize women like they have been doing for thousands of years while looking at why this is NOT a witch hunt but society starting to come to terms with how we need to change how we treat women. They side step into a science segment on a new discovery of how a new non-toxic glue could help revolutionize the toxic waste our societies produce. The shows last segment covers China’s new social credit score.

This segment they talk through the pro’s and con’s o

#144: Before Orion This week Cellar Door Skeptics is coming at you with a fresh episode while changing up their normal discussion. The episode starts with some friendly banter about a "Non" ruling by the supreme court on the disclosure of donors to a Non Profit Organization. They talk through what it could mean for those who donate and if we should be worried. The meat of the show though is an interview with Bernie Taylor. Bernie Taylor is the author of Before Orion a discussion on Monomyths and how religion could all be related. "Before Orion explores a deeper root for this monomyth by looking at how hunter-gatherers viewed themselves within the natural and spiritual worlds through Paleolithic cave art from 40,000 years ago." This interview was very interesting and provided a unique perspective on the origins of religion.

They look at his urge to Pastors to violate the Johnson Amendment this midterm because Antifa is coming to take your rights away if Democrats win.

The parade has been called off by Trump and we have the latest discussion on why Trump thinks it is ridiculous he had to cancel his military parade.

NPR categorized the top 100 horror stories and the team decides to talk through all the nostalgia of their youth growing up reading some amazing stories. They transition into talking about a new wear resistant alloy metal that could revolutionize how often parts break down.

#138: Printing Guns for Civil War Cellar Door Skeptics visits the dark corner of the web as it looks at 3D printed guns. Tanner takes an unusual stance looking at why people are that upset with 3D printed guns when they are already illegal. The duo discusses some of the moralistic arguments used to review whether we should restrict those that distribute the 3D gun prints. The duo continues their show talking about the future of the GOP Trump based electorate. They talk through the idea of supporting Russia over Hillary Clinton and how people could even consider this option as a viable in the face of so much push back on election collusion. The show ends with a discussion on the Religious Task Force the infamous Jeff Sessions wants to create. When he is not creating havoc on legalizing weed, he is claiming religion should play a bigger role in governing our nation.

Episode 136: Amazon is NOT a Public God Cellar Door Skeptics is back this week looking to tackle whether or not Amazon should take over public libraries. A since retracted article from Forbes, stated that Amazon is so efficient maybe public libraries are no longer necessary. The duo takes on this claim and talk about how capitalism always thinks it is better than any social program. They also reflect on how inflation has created an offset for any tax reform we have seen over the last couple years. All the gains that lower and middle income families and individuals have seen have slowly been drown out by the inflation of goods we purchase. Lastly the team talk about the new show Who is America. They review a few of the segments on the show, highlight some of the people who decide they will show their true colors, and laugh as the host outs many of the people in public office.

The duo start the episode off talking about a survey eliciting peoples opinion on what could be better alternatives to boycotting organizations that do not fit your moral compass.

They also reflect back to their childhoods as they discover the inner soul that once made them children in a wondrous land. The episode concludes talking about tariffs, trade goods, and the new war on the middle class. With Harley Davidson moving production out of the US, #45 takes a stab at threatening them with some sort of new Space Force Power that allows #45 to change the outcome of their capitalistic endeavour. Join them on the journey to reveal how tariff

Episode 132: Trump Steaks in Space This episode of Cellar Door Skeptics has a large explicit tag attached to the episode. In the bizarro world we live in, we have seen many changes this week in America. First we saw Space Force announced by commander in chief 45.
