Podcast #570: Immigration and Political Tribalism Apr 20, 2026

Show notes

This episode of DXP begins with an update on Christian's pain-filled trip to the Caribbean. We then hear from a caller from Texas on the issue of immigration, from which we springboard into a discussion about whether larger populations require different political structures than smaller ones. We discuss the issue of political tribalism and its unfortunate tendency to swallow entire personalities. We conclude with another segment of "Pastor Jack's Off."

Podcast #569: TV Writing, Relativity, and Boredom Apr 06, 2026

Show notes

We kick off this episode of DXP with a discussion about pro sports and how technology could actually improve the product. We address a voicemail about the use of subtitles when watching TV, which leads to a longer discussion about the quality of recent television more broadly. We spend a fair bit of time responding to a caller's question about last week's brief mention of the theory of relativity, and then conclude by engaging with a TikTok creator's thoughts on childhood boredom.

Podcast #568: Harry Potter, Aliens, and Israel Mar 30, 2026

Show notes

This episode of DXP kicks off with a discussion of the coming Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter reboots, after which we discuss Project Hail Mary and the issue of "practical effects." We listen to a theory claiming that things in this country are actually improving, after which we discuss the growing acceptance of the existence of aliens (which leads into some deeper conspiracy-related topics). We conclude with Pastor Jack being a moron about the significance of Israel.

Podcast #567: Oscars, ICE, and Selective Outrage Mar 23, 2026

Show notes

This episode begins with Christian giving Jason an Oscars update (which includes a rabbit trail about Asian culture for some reason). We discuss the upcoming Firefly reboot, and then return to the issue of online betting and Polymarket in particular. We play a couple voicemails about ICE which leads to a discussion about selective outrage. We discuss the issues surrounding Greenland, and close with another segment of "Pastor Jack's Off."

Podcast #566: The Oscars, Our Changing Views, and GLP-1s Mar 16, 2026

Show notes

We kick off this episode paying respect to the brave men who video people in public with the hope that they will get assaulted and have an excuse to use pepper spray on their assailants. We chat about the film Project Hail Mary, which leads to a broader discussion about the Oscars and why its audience has shrunk so significantly in recent years. We break down a post by one of our patrons about the consequences of our changing views and then discuss the popularity of online betting sites like Polymarket and Kalshi. We conclude by talking about GLP-1 drugs and a new segment of "Pastor Jack's Off."

Podcast #565: Iran, Wee-wees, and Pastor Jack Again Mar 02, 2026

Show notes

This episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors comes straight to you from the Caribbean! We start off discussing the war in Iran (or, what little we know about it since it started the day we recorded): Do Americans want this? Do Iranians? Whose interests are being served by this war and by manufacturing consent for it? We talk about wieners for a while, and then spend the remainder of our time on a new segment of "Pastor Jack's Off," mostly being puzzled over what the hell he is attempting to say. But we think it has something to do with Iran and God's judgment but it's hard to tell with him.

Podcast #564: Celebrity Activism and Geopolitics Feb 23, 2026

Show notes

Episode #564 of Drunk Ex-Pastors begins with some banter about Joe Rogan and some Oscar-nominated films, which leads into a discussion about watching our generation slowly get older. We briefly talk about James Franco's apparent un-cancelation, and then address Billie Eilish's recent controversial remarks. We turn our attention to Trump's intentions for both Greenland and Venezuela, and then respond to a content creator's thoughts about becoming too conscious to be able to enjoy simple things anymore.

Podcast #563: Epstein, ICE, and Selective Outrage Feb 16, 2026

Show notes

We begin this episode of DXP by playing a bit of catch-up: We talk briefly about the Epstein files and then hear about Christian's cruise with comedian Nate Bargatze. We play a voicemail—not from a listener—about a mysterious 911 call that one of us may have made a few years ago. We delve into the ICE controversies and point out some very selective outrage, and we conclude with another edition of "Pastor Jack's Off."

Podcast #562: Music, Movies, and the Passage of Time Jan 26, 2026

Show notes

For the second time this month, we are recording in the same room instead of remotely! In this episode we reminisce about music and the passage of time, realizing just how old we actually are. We discuss the upcoming Academy Awards, along with films like One Battle After Another and Sinners (and specifically whether it is overrated, and why).

Podcast #561: Renee Good, the Emergent Church, and Split-Screening Jan 19, 2026

Show notes

We begin this episode talking about a former classmate of ours who recently died of cancer. We return one last time to the Apple TV+ program, Pluribus, and share our thoughts on its first season, and then play a voicemail about the emergent church and its leaders. Another caller offers a humorous observation about Jason, and then we spend some time talking about protesting in general and Renee Good in particular. We discuss the dumbing-down of media content to accommodate people's split-screening, and then we conclude with another segment of "Pastor Jack's Off."
