A Christian and an Atheist Walk Into a Bar

We discuss the recent college admissions scandal, what it means for the big picture of higher education, and Jay offers a “modest proposal” on how to fix it.

Nathan returns for the second part of our conversation about sexuality and religion. We also hilariously tackle keeping unwanted items in the toilet.

Ty and Jay are joined by Nathan Clay to discuss the current debate within the United Methodist Church over the topic of sexuality—a debate so heated that it may create a new schism within the church. This conversation highlights the broader taboo of discussing sexuality in a religious setting, which is why we needed to break it up into a two-part series. The three also problem solve how to address bad parking jobs.

Everybody wants to connect something or somebody—regardless of their religious affiliations. In this episode, Ty and Jay discuss the interesting ways people find solace in an increasingly alienated world. We also interview a man who, for many years, went by the name “MySpace Jesus” and his interesting life as an online messiah whose followers confided all sorts of secrets with him.

Do we have the ability to shape our the conditions that surround us or are we just conditioned to think we can? Were Ty and Jay fated to discuss the topic of free will? And what should be the fate of bad tippers? All this and more in our latest episode.

For a show dedicated to adult beverages, Ty and Jay surprisingly haven’t tackled the topic of drinking yet. So they take a moment to discuss their thoughts about the social stigmas that surround alcohol.

Once upon a time, Michael Sanicola adamantly opposed marijuana. Then his world was turned upside down when his son was diagnosed with cancer. Sanicola quickly became a convert to medical cannabis once he son started responding well to alternative treatments. Now, he is better known as "The Pot Preacher" as he works to spread his gospel about the medical benefits of cannabis.

Tribalism encourages you to see the worst in others. But what if these so-called “others” actually have some positive qualities or shared values? Ignore the “God question” for a second, and there is a wide berth of common ground between those with faith and those without.

They are back! After a brief hiatus, Ty and Jay return to answer your burning questions. Have either of them considered "switching teams"? What do they think about "separation of church and state"? Does pineapple belong on pizza? This and more on the debut episode of Season 2.

This is the crash course in immigration law that every American—and non-American for that matter—should experience. Joining our show is Bethany Anderson, who serves as the Immigration Initiative Director for Solidarity, a nonprofit advocacy organization based in Fullerton, California. Anderson shares her unique perspective on this issue—one that combines faith, justice, and a deep understanding of the law. She debunks many of the myths that surround the topic, offering a thorough and sobering analysis of the systemic issues faced by those seeking a better way of life in the United States.
