Podcast #110: Sexism and the Olympics

12 August 14, 2016 by

110This episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors begins with a voicemail leading to our resolving, for serious this time, to finally schedule a DXP cruise. After a shot of Hornitos we take a voicemail suggesting we start doing movie reviews, another pointing out what an uninvolved father Jason is, and still another from a guy asking for tips for his devotional trip through the Satanic Bible. We discuss WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s recent release of the DNC’s emails, and then weigh recent claims that the network’s coverage of the Olympics has been sexist toward broads. Christian’s “Feeding Friendsy” focuses on whether Trump’s promises to deport some people and nuke others is really all that worrisome, and Jason’s “Livin’ Lodge” segment introduces us to perhaps the most entitled douche ever. Christian’s bieber focuses on the proper way to stalk pedestrians, while Jason is biebered by promises that he’ll save 15% of more on car insurance.

Also, that Turkoman Warrior person? Damn.

  2. • I’ve been through too many times when Jesus came back and everything went on as normal. Now, the only apocalypse that can excite me is the Norse one with the giant world serpent.
    • I’m really hoping we get to see Darth Vader just tear shit up.
    • I’ve always found it funny that all bedsheets in movies and TV shows are L-shaped, so that the man can have the sheet down at his waist and the woman can have the sheet covering her boobs.
    • I was there in the delivery room. My wife had two C-sections. There was blood. A lot of blood. Freaked me the fuck out. I managed not to faint. And I cut the cords for both kids. It was a bit gross. I was glad I was there though. I was the third person my kids saw in this world, after the doctor and the nurse. It was cool.
    • Then they grew up and started talking. 😛
    • Just kidding. They are a joy. Most of the time.
    • It’s two separate points. But there wasn’t a segue.
    • Most Satanists aren’t really Satan worshippers. Most are atheists who enjoy having a good time trolling reactionary Christians. See all of the “Satanic” groups fighting to erect statues of Satan where Christians have used the power of the State to erect crosses or Ten Commandments monuments.
    • But stay away from the Necronomicon and any books bound in human flesh.
    • I’m not fond of Snowden. I’m okay with whistleblowers, but if stop number 1 on your getaway with a data drive full of US secrets is China and stop 2 is Russia, you’re a bit too cozy with authoritarian dictators for my liking.
    • Assange likewise seems to be posting stuff coming from Russian Intelligence hackers to try and influence an American election and install a president that has ties to Russian oligarchs, a campaign manager with ties to pro-Russian political parties in the Ukraine and the former dictator/president of Ukraine, and is someone who might be more sympathetic or pliable to Russian interests.
    • And he’s no longer editing out personal identifying information.
    • Anyway, barring a video showing up of Hillary personally killing Vince Foster or ordering BENGHAZI!!!!, I don’t think Trump is going to win.
    • Jesus: “I find your lack of faith disturbing…” Pilate: URK!!!!
    • Are the characters on that Vice Principals show worse than the ones on It’s Always Sunny…?
    • I think the Olympics are idiotic. We should just stop having them.
    • “And in other news, some broads won something in some stupid girly games instead of making me a damn sandwich.” – Bob Costas… okay, not really…
    • Well, no she didn’t leak security secrets, kill people at BENGHAZI!!!!, rig the primary, or personally kill Vince Foster, but I am interested in what you are smoking, Sir or Madam.
    • “This would be a great job, if it wasn’t for all of the customers…

    • And, if you’re like me, you’ve just spend three hours on TV Tropes without realizing it.
    • My Bieber is jury duty. I am on call all week. It sucks. At least my company will pay for it up to 10 days.

  3. I had to go back in listen to the intro from a couple of weeks to make sure you guys were following through with your obligations with large donations. But it wasn’t for a single large donation, but for >5, >10, or >50 new $5+ donations this month. Just to recap, >5 Christian becomes full on atheist, >10 Jason gets a new religion, and >50 hosts switch lives for a year and document it.

    What about pledges going the other way. What kind of donations are required for Christian to de-deconvert back to some form of Christianity. How much to get Jason to go to mass weekly, or even daily; or go to Latin mass – OR join a religious order?!

    Oh, how much to get Christian to go to weekly RCIA classes this fall? Even if not completely serious about converting, he could attend and complain about the discussions on the cast.

  7. I am not commenting on episode 110. I can’t remember why or how** I heard of your podcast but I’m one of those people who HAS to start at the beginning……so despite being a fan for awhile, I’m only up to Episode 62. And….what ageist SOBs you guys are! I’ll have you know I was born in 1957, use the internet pretty much all of my waking hours and estimate more than half of the folks I know that are my age are equally well informed, familiar and engaged with the modern age. Bieber: Thirtysomethings who assume anyone their parents’ age is an old fogie. {Does my rant lose all its moral weight if I admit I had to google Justin Bieber to figure out how to spell it?} I hope you’ve apologized in an episode that I haven’t listened to as of yet. Oh….and did you ever get back to the twins demon exorcism? That was sooo frustrating in Ep#61!

    **NPR’s Big Listen, maybe?

  11. What’s surprising to me is that people are outraged when sportscasters credit male coaches for female athlete’s successes. We just witnessed the first female presidential nomination and whose picture was on the front page of most of the newspapers in the country the next morning? Her husband. Or maybe Bernie Sanders on a few of them. Has that ever happened to any male presidential candidate ever? It’s not that it’s not irritating and reflective of deeper cultural perceptions, values, etc. It’s just that it’s so predictable that I can barely bring myself to comment on it.
