After our incoherent stream of consciousness regarding Pope Ratzinger the other week – The Herb Whisperer still gets him confused with Cliff from Cheers – thank you Greg Dodds for pointing us in the direction of this debate:
Which neatly ties in with a portion of this weeks Daily Show.
The Joint broadcasts weekly Saturday 12pm-2pm (NZT) on the music nerd internet platform 8K in Christchurch, New Zealand.

ABOUT THE JOINT …
THE HERB WHISPERER and FRASERHEAD go all over the shop with an eclectic, left field, and off-kilter selection of cosmic disco, electro, indie, hiphop, house, dub, and Krautrock, plus the occasional guilty pleasure. If the radio sounds broken chances are it will be THE JOINT. Find out more about us »
First off, I’m not Catholic, but in the interests of balance shouldn’t you also post a link to the response to Stephen’s speech? He wasn’t the only one at that debate.
You’re dead right.
In the interests of fairness and balance I have posted another video at https://thejoint.co.nz/2010/03/20/video-bill-hicks-the-pope/
Hopefully that sets things right. Bill Hicks sums it up better than I ever could.
I still feel bad about the crass, mean-spirited, tasteless, spiteful things I said on-air a few weeks ago about the Catholic Church. I don’t actually feel bad for actually saying those things – I just feel bad that that the following week most of it was borne out in media coverage of the latest revelations of child abuse by catholic priests in Germany and Ireland.
Truth is stranger than fiction (even Dan Brown novels).
