In this episode we wrap up the first half of 2023 with a look at the times an ancient Middle Eastern demon entered our 21st century news cycle. Through the lens of sketch comedy and the occasional song we laugh our way through the ‘current events’ of 2023 and try to figure out why the devil is still a thing.

Through the magic of audio illusions we will transport you to the annual Passion Conference in Atlanta Georgia. We’ll observe a celebration of the love of Jesus with thousands of evangelical university students. We’ll meet ex lesbian, drug abuser who grew up confused about her gender and was addicted to pornography turned Chri$tian author, rapper and poet Jackie Hill Perry and hear her thoughts about the reality of demons.

Sit back and relax as self-proclaimed Gender Queer Non Binary Gay English singer Sam Smith takes to the Grammy Awards stage with openly transgender German woman Kim Petras to perform their hit song, ‘Unholy’. I wonder if anyone will get upset?

And in completely unrelated news we’ll meet Conservative podcaster Liz Wheeler, Republican senator Ted Cruz,  failed republican candidate for Tennessee’s 5th Congressional District and former music video director, Robby Starbuck Newsom and crazy person Marjorie Taylor Greene.

It can’t all be as much fun as Sam Smith and Kim Patras, we’ll also have a hilarious peek into the Morbid Angel tragedy at the Apollo Theatre in Belvidere Illinois that took the life of Fred Livingston Jr. I wonder if anyone tried to exploit that for personal gain?

In unrelated news this episode will also feature a cameo appearance from Artificial Intelligence 2: Electric Boogaloo star Leo Zagami.

But then it’s straight back into atheists making Chri$tians look dumb with The Satanic Temple’s Satancon in Boston. 

And related to my use of the word ‘dumb’ in the sentence above, we will meet MAGA Christo-Fascist and permed hair enthusiast Sean Feucht.

Then it’s on to Chri$tians scaring the rest of us again with a trip to the Chri$tian nationalist event ReAwaken America at Miami’s Trump National Doral Hotel. Where just two weeks before the release of the live action version of Disney’s The Little Mermaid, hate preacher Amanda Grace gives us the skinny on technologically advanced mermaids working for Satan.

If you were wondering what did MTG tell that Turning Point USA's Young Women's Leadership Conference? We’ve got you covered. It’s about the devil and reproductive rights and it’s brilliant. It’s MTG. What else is it going to be?
