Talking Sense with Stephen Colbert

🐟🐟🐟

Paul and Stephen get their daily dose of happiness during PART 1 of this illuminating and hilarious chat with writer, comedian, late night host, Mr. Stephen Colbert.

Have you ever wondered why some spell Stephen with a V, while others with a PH? No? It’s great party fodder, trust us!

Mr. Colbert captivates with his love of fishing, the evolution of the flounder, the consequences of unaddressed grief, and the religious sermon that changed him forever. Stay tuned for talk of Jungian archetypes and two transformative stories from Colbert’s Northwestern University days. Also on the docket: some causes of atheism, Paul’s affinity for contact guilt and contact sin, G.K. Chesterton and the difference between belief and faith. All this and Talking Heads make an appearance. It’s too much, yet it’s all in this week’s Chinwag! 

Bonus: you might’ve been saying Colbert wrong all this time.
