After some initial cruise-related banter we begin the show by talking about Wayward Pines, the series of books and TV episodes by author Blake Crouch. Christian realizes that Jason was right about Matt Dillon not being a good actor; we then discuss whether an AI can actually write a good song (it’s complicated). We talk about the woman who allegedly called dozens of churches looking for help feeding her baby and was refused, and then believe it or not, we share a couple biebers after the return of Pastor Jack’s Off.
