Due to travel this week, along with a surprise appendectomy for you-know-who, we are releasing a “Best Of” episode that Chris Hamm (thanks, Chris!) put together. We will be back with a new episode next week, assuming neither of us dies. … [Read more...]
Podcast #332: Death, Memory, and This One Nutjob Pastor from California
In this episode of DXP we wax rather philosophical throughout. We discuss a listener’s question about whether evangelicals would consider uploading their consciousness to the cloud, and then springboard from the film Enter the Void to the topic of death more generally. We tackle the issue of memory, wondering whether accessing past events gets harder as you age or, as one of us suggests, we don’t really access past events at all. We make fun of nutjob pastor “Special Agent” Jack Hibbs, and then share biebers involving lasagna and Facebook. … [Read more...]
Podcast #331: Sedition for Dummies
We spend the majority of episode Drunk Ex-Pastors #331 discussing the events of January 6: Was it merely a protest? Was it a full-blown insurrection? Further, we talk about the (tepid) response of law enforcement, comparing it to how the police respond to BLM protesters of police brutality. We discuss potential consequences: Will anyone be arrested? Will Trump be removed from office, or rehabilitated in an effort to “just move on”? Finally, biebers involve the DMV and empty complaints against politicians. … [Read more...]
Podcast #330: Old Timey Lesbians and Rugged Individualism
After a quick debrief about 2020, we turn our attention to the all-important question of whether old-timey cowboys were turned on by lesbians or not (it’s complicated, lotta ins lotta outs). We talk about our Christmas haul, and then turn our attention to the (very American) notion of rugged individualism and its political consequences, especially during a pandemic. We touch upon the FX series A Teacher and discuss the power dynamics involved, after which we share biebers involving rap songs and noisy Teslas. … [Read more...]
Podcast #329: Pardons, White Rappers, and the Afterlife
Episode #329 of Drunk Ex-Pastors begins with a breakdown of the TV and movies we’ve been watching, after which we ponder whether or not Trump is actually beginning to agree with reality. We discuss the frenzy over presidential pardons, and then tackle the question of whether a white rapper can say the N-word. We hear from a couple listeners who took issue with our sentiments regarding the afterlife, and then we share biebers involving canned goods and discipline in storytelling. … [Read more...]
Podcast #328: Death, the Afterlife, and the Biden Administration
We begin this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors with a caller’s suggestion about TikTok, and then launch into a pretty in-depth conversation about death and the afterlife (would we rather there be no afterlife at all if the alternative is an actual judgment? What about becoming ghosts of ourselves, can we just do that?). We break down a recent tweet about President-elect Biden’s cabinet and what it signifies for the next four years, and then share our biebers involving political labels and wigs. … [Read more...]
Podcast #327: TikTok, Extramarital Sex, and Technophobia
In this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors we get a call from an IT guy who claims he can help Jason with his tech problems, but Jason isn’t buying it. We hear from another caller who gives us some pushback about TikTok, and then we address some topics suggested by our patrons, such as sex & singleness, what we expect from the Biden administration, and so on. Biebers involve volume levels and Boomer technophobia. … [Read more...]
Podcast #326: Kids, Agnosticism, and Failing at Life
We begin this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors with a voice mail mocking Jason’s diction, and then another one challenging his opinions about The West Wing. We hear from a female listener explaining double-standards in the workplace, and then answer another listener’s questions about raising kids with a partner with whom we disagree spiritually. We discuss the issue of accents, and then answer a patron’s questions about how we feel about being such failures. Biebers involve TikTok and pizza. … [Read more...]
Podcast #325: Intersex People and Erectile Dysfunction
We begin this episode of DXP in a sour mood, and it shows. We lament our tech problems and vent a bit about how mean old-timey dads are on TV, after which we address a caller’s question about intersex people. We shit all over The Mandalorian and consider how we’d feel if we found out a meteor will soon destroy all life on earth. We discuss a patron’s story involving erectile dysfunction and in so doing we try to help people understand why wieners sometimes just don’t work. Biebers involve pickpockets and Kleenex. … [Read more...]
Podcast #324: Psychedelic Sacraments and Twitter for Morons
In this episode of DXP we break down the recent election and offer some analysis, although the cynical and more negative one of us promised to try real hard not to rain on everyone’s parade. We also turn our attention to the great state of Ohio, and explain why it mostly sucks (and no, this has nothing to do with electoral politics). In the second half we delve into the various conspiracy theories coming from the unhinged right, after which we share biebers involving streaming platforms and Zoom calls. … [Read more...]
