Podcast #262: Martyr Complexes and the "Gifts of the Spirit" Jul 15, 2019

Show notes

In this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors we discuss the martyr complex of American evangelicals and seek to determine the REAL reason we hate them (hint: It has nothing to do with Jesus). We take some pushback from a caller about our take on female athletes' pay, after which we consider becoming investigative journalists. We discuss the so-called gifts of the Spirit, and then display awe at the mystery that is "the sun." We briefly talk about Jeffrey Epstein and "deepfakes," and then close with biebers.

Podcast #261: Female Athletes, Cannibalism, and Objective Morality Jul 08, 2019

Show notes

In this episode of DXP we debrief about our recent Alaska cruise, and then congratulate the U.S. women's national soccer team on their victory (which led to a discussion about their receiving less pay than men, as well as about the nature of capitalism in general). We talk briefly about a short-lived Twitter feud one of us got into, and then answer a listener's questions about whether Christians are really cannibals and whether we think morality is objective. Biebers involve back-up cams and self-checkout.

Podcast #260: Tongues of Angels, Hearts of Pigs Jul 01, 2019

Show notes

In DXP #260 we debrief a bit about Jason's time "in his cups" last week, after which we observe a scientific mystery regarding hair growth. We then delve into the theology behind speaking in tongues. (What is it? Why do Pentecostals do it? And are they really just cunning linguists?) We answer a caller's question about parenting and losing your religion at the same time, and then embark on a new record for the amount of time spent talking about pig hearts. Biebers involve mortgage interest and last week's bieber.

Podcast #259: Lotsa Shots, Part 2 Jun 24, 2019

Show notes

Writing a description for DXP #259 is a bit of a challenge since yours truly did a shot every 15 minutes the show went on. But as far as I can remember we talked about impeachment, answered some pushback about voting standards, and discussed whether the religious notion of eternity mitigates against the meaningfulness of life. We explain to non-former-evangelicals what things like the Great Tribulation and Mark of the Beast are. Biebers involve the challenges of walking and what is supposedly tolerable.

Podcast #258: Spaghetti, the Rapture, and Assisted Suicide Jun 17, 2019

Show notes

We begin DXP #258 by revisiting the natural disaster that our fervent and effectual prayers thankfully averted. We then introduce a new topic in our segment, "I Guess We'll Never Know," involving why the makers of spaghetti can't even speak their own language. We launch a new segment which has us introducing and defending belief in something preposterous, after which we address the topic of assisted suicide and whether mental health is really a thing. Biebers involve empty threats and door handles.

Podcast #257: Construction, Judgment Day, and Freshwater Oceans Jun 10, 2019

Show notes

In DXP #257 we are put on blast for not knowing how to build a house (of which we alone are ignorant, apparently). We discuss the option of skipping to the front of the Judgment-Day line, and then address the tactics of the rabid opponents of Planned Parenthood. We get some feedback about our message from a mistress, and then do another "I Guess We'll Never Know" segment. The topic of suicide comes up, and then we launch into biebers (which involve Chernobyl and cyclists).

Podcast #256: Prayer, Confession, and Lots o' Shots Jun 03, 2019

Show notes

In DXP #256 we heed a request from a patron that one of us does a shot every 15 minutes throughout the duration of the show. We then put prayer to the test, coming before the Almighty in the aftermath or the devastating earthquake that rocked Los Angeles this past week. We discuss some recent documentaries, and then answer a caller's question about religion and our children. In our DXP Confessions segment we hear from an actual mistress, and then get a sneak peek into a woman's response to VR porn.

Podcast #255: Living Abroad and Leaving the Faith May 27, 2019

Show notes

DXP #255 begins with a voicemail about tornadoes, as well as one calling us out on all these teased interviews we never seem to follow up on. We answer a caller's question about leaving the faith, after which we consider a Go Fund Me campaign for a certain stab-wound victim. We discuss other listeners' questions about everything from Christian celebrities to hangovers and from living abroad to what Jason actually believes. Biebers involve newsfeeds and false time limits.

Podcast #254: TV Theme Songs, Favorite Jobs, and More Audience Q&A May 20, 2019

We discuss the various jobs we have had and which were our favorites, we talk about the best TV show theme songs from the '80s, what we'd do if we won the lottery, as well as many other topics.

We answer a caller's question about our experiences of God's existence, and then discuss a controversial scene from Game of Thrones involving rape and torture.
