Drunk Ex-Pastors

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.

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."

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."

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.

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.

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."

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).

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."

We come to you this week from a ship off the coast of Cabo San Lucas! We begin by talking about the cruise, and the Name-That-Eighties-Tune competition in particular (we had some gripes). We talk about evangelicalism and the separation of church and state, expressing some doubts about the validity and practical viability of the whole post-WWII liberal project more broadly (can individualistic religions cohabitate with theocratic ones? Does diversity really work?). We then discuss why it's important for our souls to listen to music on vinyl as opposed to music in its digital and compressed (read: gnostic) form.

We begin this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors by entertaining the (disturbing or exciting) thought that we could soon become grandfathers. A voicemail about The Last of the Mohicans leads to a discussion about One Battle After Another, then we hear from another caller talking about Scott Galloway's warnings around online dating culture. Another listener asks about how to deal with pro-Israel evangelical parents, and then we briefly talk about the death of Rob Riener and his wife. We conclude with a couple listeners' biebers involving streaming platforms and tap-to-pay credit card machines.
