Today we’re talking about the news of the day, including Hurricane Harvey’s harrowing Houston-hit, Trump’s increasingly insubordinate cabinet members, and Wells Fargo and the big banks continuing to cheat their customers!

Find out what Ethan (a former evangelical Christian, or, as John Gregory calls him, “low-church cuck”) knows about fundamentalist Christianity, pink suits, Sunday School, and American patriotism! (And the unholy alliance between Trump, Joel Osteen, identity Christians, and Mammon!) Then it’s Life with Alexis as we discover how NOT pick up hot Colombian girls! It’s a fully-loaded episode of Mean and Sober, ripped from the headlines and into your podcast feed! Listen now!
