Drew recounts the horrifying experience of trying to record the hype-man intro. We try our hand at a game called “Playground Insults” where we try not to laugh while getting insulted. Finally, we finish the episode with a conversation about nudity in movies and TV. ***remember, this week we introduced #thenumberdropchallenge where you must record yourself trying to number drop in the most ridiculous way possible. You could number drop about the number of students in your youth group, your annual salary, how many cats you have, literally anything. Just be sure to get it recorded and post it to social media with the hashtag #thenumberdropchallenge ***

On our very first Episode of 2017 we start with a segment called, “Negatives & Positives” where we talk about what went wrong, and what went right in 2016. Also, our listeners submitted questions in a new segment called “Ask the Ex-Youth Pastors”.

This week, we have our very first female guests on the podcast: our wives. We ask rapid fire questions, put them against each other in a game, and ask them if they’ve ever used God as an excuse.

This week, get ready for Christmas with the Ex-Youth Pastors. We sing (terribly), talk about the worst gifts we’ve ever received, and reflect on the Christmas season; the time of year when youth pastors give up until that New Year’s sermon series in January

What happens when Michael wears boots to the office instead of sneakers? How does Drew handle a case of the sniffles? Hint: not well. We play the greatest Christmas special that has ever been recorded, and Michael finishes the episode with a story about when he got caught sleeping on the job.

This week we tackle a really strange genre of music: Christian EDM. Also, we revisit our favorite Christian meme. 

This week we are joined by Joey Svendsen from the Bad Christian Podcast. We figure out who we would rather spend a weekend in Vegas with: Creflo Dollar or Benny Hinn? We talk about the time he tackled an 8th grader, and discuss his new book, Fundamentalist, coming out Dec. 6th. Pre-order the book: http://badchristianmedia.com/fundamentalist-preorder/ You can find Joey on Twitter: @JoeySvendsen @xbadchristianx

This week’s episode was recorded on Election Day. So, without knowing who the winner was, we suggested a list of countries to move to for those who were not happy with the election results. Also, we talk about Christian subculture, and watch the trailer for the movie ‘Christian Mingle’.

This week we have our producer, Tyler Clarensau, on the show with us as we figure out how knowledgeable he is about popular music while he drinks out of a mason jar. We also give great tips for parents with multiple children at home.

This week we start things off by describing outfits and guessing which celebrity pastor wore it. Then, we have a conversation about the weird way pastors talk about people on social media, and how it is negatively impacting the church. Finally, we finish off the episode with a youth pastor story of the week all about how Michael and a bunch of youth students broke the law.
