It should be noted - There were 14 curses in this episode - making it the most curse-filled episode to date - With one by sonic, one by Scojo, and a full eleven and two halves(meaning, two mild curses) by me. I also Blasphemed thrice, grunted disapprovingly at Ron Paul and straight up insulted republicans and Ron Paul supporters.
I stopped counting "shit" as a curse as I'm editing this podcast in accordance to common PG-13 standards. I do this for two reasons: 1. I doubt anyone under 13 listens. 2. Because "shit" is no longer vulgar in today's society.

Oh, I'm not critiquing the bleep technique, I just counted everything up for laughs - and shit is still a curse, even though it's not as vulgar as it once was. It's a PG-13 acceptable Curse.
If I don't censor it at all then I have to give it the explicit tag on on iTunes.
What are the disadvantages of having an explicit tag?
Practically none. It's little more than being like the parental advisory stickers you used to get on CDs, except nobody is mandating or enforcing their use - nothing is changed from a copy of the cd that doesn't have the sticker, it's just a content advisory.
From itunes - itunes:explicit
This tag should be used to indicate whether or not your podcast contains explicit material. The three values for this tag are "yes", "no", and "clean".
If you populate this tag with "yes", an "explicit" parental advisory graphic will appear next to your podcast artwork on the iTunes Store, and in the Name column in iTunes. If the value is "clean", the parental advisory type is considered Clean, meaning that no explicit language or adult content is included anywhere in the episodes, and a "clean" graphic will appear. If the explicit tag is present and has any other value (e.g. "no") you see no indicator — blank is the default advisory type.

You realize that no one mandates or enforces their use on CDs either, right? It's a totally arbitrary decision made by the record label of whether to include it or not. In fact, the real incentive for using the parental content warning sticker is that it actually boosts album sales because kids and pre-teens most want to hear the "bad" music they're not "supposed" to hear.

Of course I don't, because for the most part we don't have them, to the best of my knowledge, I can only pick up what is told to me by others on the topic. The only ones I've seen personally are ones which are included in the cover art from American artists.
Our rating system isn't great, but at least we don't have fuckin' wowsers going around sticking silly little "There's bad things in this!" stickers on things. Though, interestingly, we do have warnings on some programs that say "The people in this program at the time of showing may be deceased." or words to that affect, mostly on programs including aboriginal people - because in aboriginal culture, you don't speak the names of the dead, as a mark of respect, and that apparently extends to film and photos.
Man this show used to be classy, then you let people like me on it :-p
Have no fear Scott. There is still plenty to go before the show hits rock-bottom. I am trying hard though to get my hands on the steering wheel and find the Mariana Trench of podcasting.
Sonic, everything starting from the thanksgiving food discussion is just your monologue. Can't hear the guests. And ask the astronomer part is kinda boring to listen when you don't hear the questions or the astronomer himself.

Sweet jeebus, no idea what happened there. The file is being re-uploaded as we speak.
It might have been because I was listening to the Earlier upload, but the audio for this episode was choppy as fuck. I know it's not really your fault, but there has to be a way around it, though I don't know what it is.
