We then briefly talk about controversial rapper Tekashi 6ix 9ine, after which we explore the issue of Gen-Z's unorthodox career goals.

Show notes

We begin DXP #341 touching on topics like social media, comedians, and weed. We then turn our attention to the topic of mindfulness and being present in each moment (one of us is reading Eckhart Tolle, can you tell?). We hear from a listener with some thoughts on our open-mindedness, and then we tackle the question of whether not wanting to date a trans person is in fact transphobia. We talk a bit about the Atlanta shootings, and we then share biebers involving bite-sized food and doorknobs.

Podcast #340: Hip-Hop, Politics, and Sex Quotas Mar 15, 2021

Show notes

Episode #340 of Drunk Ex-Pastors begins with a discussion of Hulu's new documentary series, Hip Hop Uncovered. We foray a bit into politics — we talk about ridiculously hot sex-symbol Ted Cruz, and his not-embarrassing-at-all speech at CPAC a couple weeks ago, and then speculate about whether Bernie is as pleased with the COVID stimulus bill as he claims to be on social media. We hear from a caller asking about sex-quotas within marriage, and then share biebers involving hyperlinks and painting.

Podcast #339: Mindfulness, Body-Shaming, and the Exodus from Christianity Mar 08, 2021

Show notes

DXP #339 begins with a discussion of men's shorts which made us both slightly uncomfortable. We then think back on what we wanted to do for a career when we were in high school, after which we learn that one of us had an MRI this past week (one guess who). We mock Oklahoma for some reason, and then hear some voicemails about church vs. state and the mass exodus from Christianity. We explore the topics of mindfulness and meditation, and then share biebers involving credit scores and body-shaming.

Podcast #338: CPAC, Plastic Potatoes, and TikTok Mar 01, 2021

Show notes

We begin this episode of DXP by discussing why Jimmy Carter was the "rock 'n' roll president," after which we talk about whether Jason really likes hip hop or not. The topic of ageing comes up (as it is wont to do), and we then turn our attention to whether the CPAC event was a Nazi rally in disguise. We address the gender of a plastic potato, and then Christian forces Jason to watch some TikToks in a desperate effort to convert him. Biebers involve temp checks and Starbucks.

Here are the 5 TikToks Jason watched:

Podcast #337: Texas, Death-Bed Songs, and More Stories from Church Feb 22, 2021

Show notes

We begin this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors with a frustrated voicemail about memes, and then discuss the epic collapse of late-stage capitalism aptly called "Texas." Christian shares his latest thoughts on death, and we challenge one another to list the last three songs we'd like to hear if we knew we would die in 15 minutes. We hear from more listeners about their experiences within American evangelicalism, and then share biebers involving outlet malls and standing in line.

Podcast #336: Trump's Acquittal, Political Cynicism, and Stories from Church Feb 15, 2021

Show notes

After lamenting our worsening eyesight and overall health, we hear a harrowing tale involving vomit and a corpse. We briefly revisit the issue of tipping restaurant workers, and then we springboard from Trump's acquittal to the issue of cynicism (about which we take a couple voicemails). We then hear from a few callers recounting their weirdest church stories, after which we share biebers involving the weather app and people who just got stabbed.

Podcast #335: Class Solidarity and Cynicism Feb 07, 2021

Show notes

In this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors we display a bit of '80s trivia at the top of the show (didn't ALL 6th graders watch Falcon Crest back then?). We then springboard from a caller's views on tipping restaurant servers to a lesson on class solidarity (meaning the person making slightly better poverty wages than you is not your enemy). We talk about what we've been watching lately, and then discuss the issue of cynicism, its causes, its dangers, and its solution. Christian tries out a new segment on Jason without his knowledge, and then we share biebers involving car tech and slow predators.

Podcast #334: Tipping, Gamestop, and the ER (Again) Feb 01, 2021

Show notes

We begin this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors by hearing about Christian's recent vacation which, true to form, included a trip to the ER and an emergency surgery. We hear from a listener with some interesting (and horrible) restaurant advice for Jason, and then hear from a frustrated caller with some thoughts on the whole COVID shutdown. We break down (insofar as we are able) the Gamestop/Reddit controversy, and then share biebers involving pain and poor pronunciation.
