Podcast #411: Italy, Greece, and a Bunch of Old Crap Sep 19, 2022

Show notes

We begin this episode of DXP with a voicemail addressing Jason's (clearly unthought-out) claim to be able to run five miles. We then hear from Christian about his recent trip to Italy and Greece: Religious relics, victims in Pompeii, old-timey sex positions, Roman fashion, and the incredible architecture of the Pantheon and Sistine Chapel. Biebers involve pushy women and people-mover etiquette.

Podcast #410: Remote Work, Euthanasia, and the Male Gaze Aug 29, 2022

Show notes

This episode of DXP begins with a discussion about what may become a disturbing trend regarding worker pay for remote employees. Speaking of disturbing, we then talk quite a bit about ear wax for some reason, after which we break down the ethics of euthanasia. We finish with a discussion of the so-called "male gaze" in TV and movies, wondering how bad the supposed double standard really is. Biebers involve autopay and online questionnaires.

Podcast #409: Cosmology and Finitude Aug 22, 2022

Show notes

We begin this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors by discussing the recent findings from the James Webb telescope, springboarding to the idea that there is virtue in agnosticism rather than in smug certainty. Then we return to the book "4,000 Weeks: Time Management for Mortals." We discuss issues such as finding joy in the mundane and everyday tasks of life, whether "getting ahead of ourselves" is a good or bad thing, and why so many pursuits don't seem legit if they're not profitable monetarily. Biebers involve surveys and slow morons.

Podcast #408: Time, Mortality, and Mar-a-Lago Aug 15, 2022

Show notes

In this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors we discuss the book "4,000 Weeks: Time Management for Mortals," wondering aloud whether the final third of our lives is preferable to the first two-thirds due to the fact that we're not complete morons anymore. We discuss whether the FBI's raid of Mar-a-Lago was justified, and then end with a bieber involving annoying advertising tactics.

Podcast #407: Miracles, Alex Jones, and Physical Activity Aug 08, 2022

Show notes

In this episode of DXP we briefly discuss biblical miracles in the light of that kayaker who just got swallowed by a whale. We turn our attention to the current court case against Alex Jones, and then hear from a loyal listener who wants to fight one of us. We play another voicemail about how running 100 miles without stopping isn't actually that hard. We revisit the issue of Hollywood's beauty standards, and then share biebers involving milkshakes and tech.

Podcast #406: Depression, Serotonin, and Doing Your Own Research Aug 01, 2022

Show notes

We begin this episode of DXP by discussing how rewarding it is at our age NOT to do things, but NOT to do them, if that makes sense. We talk about a recent study that calls into question what we thought we knew about chemical imbalances and depression. We wrestle with the issue of "doing our own research," and then share biebers involving passing cars on the freeway and whether traditional meal times make sense.

Podcast #405: Popular Music, The Godfather, and Emigration Jul 25, 2022

Show notes

We begin this episode by discussing the recent Paramount+ show, The Offer (and potentially spoil a 50-year-old film in the process). We wonder aloud whether bands know when they have a hit song, and then discuss potential plans to move to a foreign country. And we wrap up by talking about the level of brainwashing necessary to convince the populous that working 50 hours a week is a good idea. Biebers involve false praise and streaming ads.

We talk briefly about how fun it is to watch The Sixth Sense with someone who's never seen it. Biebers involve notifications and tipping dealers.
