The Disorganized Religion Podcast

On this week's episode, talk of driving pet peeves becomes a bit confessional, many odds are not in our favor, we're all feeling lucky to only have ten fingers and toes, it's a bad week for ducks and nuts, Chu and Abbey's predictions came true, Matt's and Troy's didn't, and Lilly's was a huge academic letdown

We're kicking off season 5--our World Jellyfish Day gift to you!  On this episode, we welcome Abbey, teacher of middle school civics and new hoster of podcasts, Bracketeering resumes as we narrow down the college mascot competition to the sweet 16 (which was bad news for Matt's long-shot favorite, the Stanford Tree) we see who was paying attention to Pastor Matt's sermon this week, and we discover who is the most interesting host of the podcast.  Spoiler alert--it's Lilly.

This week on the DeRP, Iowa heads to Ohio, the host crew tries to distinguish between real and fake floods, turns out Charles Shultz can’t stand Peanuts, Lilly borders on the verge of being a not-niceist, Matt is disturbingly good at spewing nonsense, "Hey Jude" is the number one overall pick in the first ever Beatles' song draft, and Mackenzie Hyslop of the "Mini Mics with Mac" podcast on TikTok joins the team, dropping the bomb that Matt has been enthusiastically saying her family's name wrong for more than two years.  

In this week’s episode, the crew reacted to the first round of voting in the College Mascot Bracketeering Challenge (The Tree Lives!), and then things took a turn for the Biblical.  What was meant to be a brief sample of what the lunchtime Gen Z College and Early Career group would be like on Sundays became a deep theological dive for the rest of the podcast.  Come on in and dive along with us! 

This week the host crew takes a guess at which fake part of the fake Titanic was recently purchased for more money than any real part of the real Titanic ever was, Lilly makes sandwiches, Troy and Chu prove that they know very, very little about women, the crew reflects on how "newsworthy" Kate Middleton's photoshop skills should be, and Pastor Matt saves Handel's Messiah. 

This week on the DeRP a new host joins the party, and if you listen closely you might be able to tell whether or not he's in a band.  On top of that, Ioanna endorses Troy rocking a mullet, the crew discusses heckling refs and how to maximize your team's homefield advantage, six unlucky college mascots get snubbed from the tournament field of the next Bracketeering challenge, Lilly goes bananas, the Florida Man Games get a shout out, and the hosts give their thoughts on which well-known candies have successfully made the transition to jelly bean, and which should have stayed in their lane.

This week on the DeRP, Lilly forgets what day it is, Troy and Ioanna go on a double date to Target, "Florida Men" continue to lead the world in embarrassing news headlines, a German sculpture gives birth to a stupid American, the host crew prepares for Ash Wednesday next week by discussing what they could give up and what they couldn't, and then they agree to let each other choose what they'll give up or take on for the 40 days of Lent.

This week the DeRP crew debates the pros and cons of pushing a man off a bridge, identifies the behaviors of the chivalrous gentleman, and just generally enjoys a heaping dollop of discussion by four of our usual rawgabbit blatherskite hosts while Troy was off wankling his guitar somewhere.

This week on the DeRP there's a pop quiz from Matt on what life was like a quarter century ago, a genius Allied strategy from World War 2 with some highly questionable questionable ethics, the long and distinguished line of groups and individuals who have not solved the Israeli-Palestinian conflict grows by one podcast, the pros and cons of "de-extincting" some species wiped out by hunting or by Charles Darwin, America gets stolen by four British guys, and the host crew decides some real competitions shouldn't exist, and some fake ones should.  Let the games of the Diaper Olympiad begin.  

The DeRP crew laments Elf's shocking blowout loss in the Bracketeering Final to A Christmas Story, Pastor Matt bets the other hosts that their parents will all have the exact word-for-word answer when asked what is in a Big Mac, it turns out that Troy isn't nearly the devoted fan of Chipotle that we thought, Lilly doesn't want to know how boats float, the crew ponders living a life of luxury at sea, there's an intervention to make Ioanna come to terms with her own excellence, Lilly changes her mind and now does want to know how boats float, and in case you couldn't tell by the 50 times he mentions it, Chu has a girlfriend.
