DXP #197 delves into some heavy territory. After yet another caller challenges our proposal to arm schoolchildren with rocks we discuss death and whether we are personally and professionally ready for it. We "pre-brief" a bit about our upcoming interview with scholar Bart Ehrman, leading to a discussion about (if Jesus never rose from the dead) what exactly happened to precipitate the emergence and eventual empire-wide conquest of Christianity. Biebers involve email chains and the apocalypse.

Episode #196 of DXP begins with Christian being challenged about his Old-Testament solution to school shootings as well as his douchey vacuuming practices. We then turn our attention to '80s icon Molly Ringwald's recent piece in the New Yorker in which she revisits her prior films in the light of the #MeToo movement (turns out they're fine). We discuss NRA member Ted Nugent's recent remarks about the Parkland students' protests, and biebers involve food ratios and servers who need to speak up.

On DXP #195 we debrief together about the state of Christian's new heart (what is A-Fib anyway? Can't be too serious, right?). We also discuss the issue of community, and whether it is possible to truly have one in a post-church setting (we're pretty sure the Elks Club isn't taking new members). Our "Feeding Friendsy" segment reveals that there's such a thing as a Triple Strawman, and biebers involve Costco and stupid kids these days.

DXP returns this week, and turns out we have a crap-ton of voicemails stacked up. We take calls (without having screened them first) about topics like why we're so cold all the time, whether people are psychopaths by nature or through nurture, and what divine comfort really looks like. Christian's "Feeding Friendsy" segment returns, which causes Jason to discover that he "has no problem with Hitler." Biebers involve Family Ties and public transport etiquette.

This week's episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors will take you on a walk down Memory Lane as we revisit a handful of our earliest biebers. Tune in and be reminded how annoyed we get at everything from football to death, progress to banks. And anyone remember that we used to violate all kinds of copyright laws with our musical outros?

Episode #192 of Drunk Ex-Pastors begins with a voicemail from someone presuming to challenge Christian's desire to go to prison, after which the conversation takes what Jason feels is a quite disturbing turn. We discuss Jackie Chan for some reason, and then take a call about the challenge of applying religion to child-raising. We quench the Holy Spirit by mocking certain types of miracles, and then get into a discussion about Hollywood, the Oscars, and race. Biebers involve Alexa and dead people.

Episode #191 of DXP begins with a solemn reminder of the death of an American icon, after which we give some advice concerning movie trailer protocol. We defend our position on comic book films, chat briefly about Christian's obsession with guns, and then answer a question about whether God is a factor for us in overcoming difficulty and trauma. Biebers involve stacks of cash and whether Jason's girlfriend should leave him for Ryan Gosling (she totally should).

Episode #190 of DXP begins with a call to prayer for Jesus' servant, President Trump. We discuss the intrepid Florida legislature's recent gun-control measures (oops, we mean porn-control measures), after which we dig deep into the minds of flat-earthers and other conspiracy theorists. Christian reinforces Jason's biases against Black Panther, and biebers involve outdated tools and junk mail. Also, one of us is now either gay or merely attracted to men.

DXP #189 begins so mesmerizingly that your humble hosts forgot to say the Introduction (again). We discuss the fake Russia indictments that the fake news reports were handed down by the head of the fake investigation into Trump, after which we turn our attention to Mexico's path to drug legalization. We weigh in on the recent school shooting in Florida, during which Jason shares his comprehensive gun-law plan that he thought of in the shower the other day. Biebers involve finger-food and pee.

Episode #188 of Drunk Ex-Pastors begins with our revisiting some recently-discussed topics—we play a voicemail about the punishing of criminals, as well as one about pornography. We also welcome into the studio Marta, a close friend whose own journey led her to pursue sobriety a few years ago, and what better way to learn about this than to ask her questions about it while we drink whiskey? Biebers involve what to do with your hands during urination, and why Jesus wants to kill Jason.
