The God Show

Dear Humans,

Legendary comedian Lewis Black sat down with God (and Jesus) yesterday for a heartwarming, hilarious, and surprisingly spiritual interview.

Not to oversell it, but it might just be the greatest thing you'll ever witness in your entire life. Seriously. If you've ever wanted to watch Lewis Black ask God if he's going to Heaven…this is your moment.

In this episode:

• Lewis Black's biggest question for God and Jesus now that he's face-to-face with the divine

• Lewis Black talks to God about getting into Heaven

• How comedy has evolved (and unraveled) in the age of Trump

• Tariffs on penguins?!?

• A much-needed palate cleanser: Lewis' "heroin sport" and how sports still bring hope

• Why Lewis is leaning into empathy onstage, and may pivot to a full-blown "empathy act"

• God and Jesus make Lewis Black laugh!

Dear Humans,

Today, Jesus and I sit down with social media star, author and Bible scholar Dan McClellan, whose new book The Bible Says So: What We Get Right (and Wrong) About Scripture's Most Controversial Issues drops April 29.

Dan breaks down what the Bible really says about hot-button issues like abortion, slavery, lying, and homosexuality…and how scripture often contradicts itself. He also shares how he went from being raised agnostic to becoming a Mormon, and what most people get wrong about Mormonism.

If you're skeptical about a Mormon writing a book like this, just wait until you hear what Dan has to say. There are smart, left-leaning folks in every faith tradition, even the ones you wouldn't expect.

Don't miss The Bible Says So when it hits shelves April 29.

Love,

God

John, the child of an ex-nun and an ex-Franciscan brother (yes, really), has a lifetime of perspective on faith, religion, and the way it's been hijacked by fascists and frauds.

He's thrilled to speak directly with God and Jesus so he can finally say what's been on his mind: stop spinning the Bible to justify cruelty.

We also put John on the spot: What would you say to Elon Musk if you spoke to him directly? As you might expect, he nails it.

Dear Humans,

We sat down with Veep star Matt Walsh to talk improv, the afterlife, and why he just might like Chill Hell.

🔥 His new movie Novocaine—in theaters now! 🔥 What's giving him hope on Earth? 🔥 What's the secret to being a King of Improv? 🔥 If he could play any role in the Godiverse, who would it be? 🔥 If he had one thing to say to Elon Musk, what would it be?

Oh, and Matt literally prays to God—and we answer.

Check out Matt's podcast Second in Command, his wife's charity OpenBooks.org, and don't miss Novocaine, in theaters right now!

The richest man on Earth is falling apart. In a recent interview he was very close to tears. Let's laugh at his pain together!

Elon Musk went on camera and nearly broke down. When asked about Tesla's struggles, the man who claims to be the smartest person alive suddenly didn't have any answers.

📉 Tesla stock is in freefall. 🐦 Twitter is still a broken mess. 😭 Even his most devoted fanboys are losing faith.

The protests are working. The myth of Musk as an untouchable genius is shattering before our eyes.

🔥 God and Jesus laugh at Trump's "everything's computer" remarks while sitting in a Tesla while still hating his guts.

🔥 The real concern from the Tesla stunt: Trump threatening to throw people in prison for protesting Tesla.

🔥 Why SNL's latest Mike Myers / Elon Musk Cold Open was so amazing.

🔥 Elon unexpectedly got emotional on camera.

🔥 If humans are looking for hope and inspiration, look no further than Bernie's recent conversation with constituents who are feeling the pain. He's packing them in because he LISTENS to the humans!

Rejoice, for I bring thee tidings of great schadenfreude: Elon Musk hath lost a whole Bill Gates.

Tesla's stock hath crashed over 40% since December, wiping out $111 billion of Elon's fortune. Turns out, investors don't love it when a CEO ditches his own company to spend his days boosting Nazis and banning journalists.

And who smote him most? His best bro Don-old. Trump's new tariffs on China, Canada, and Mexico are wrecking Tesla's supply chains, and the stock market took one look and said nah. Funny how licking fascist boots always ends in you getting your face stomped.

Yet despite losing more money than the entire net worth of Bill Gates, Musk remains the world's richest idiot. Will he learn? Nay. He shall keep wreaking havoc and pretending he isn't the dumbest rich guy alive.

This week, we were LIVE here on Substack while recording! Huge thanks to everyone who listened in—we can't wait to see you all again for future live stream events!

On today's episode:

• 🔥 We react to Donold's State of the Union and why all this talk about 'norms' needs to end (Except for Norm MacDonald—he's up here in Heaven and keeping us entertained!)

• 🔥 Donold goes after Canada for no good reason—and history has taught us, Canada doesn't back down from a fight.

• 🔥 God offers a crazy idea: What if Dems gasp broke some rules?

• 🔥 Why it's ridiculous that Republicans are canceling in-person town halls—because cowards fear their own voters.

• 🔥 God's favorite video games right now—because sometimes even the Almighty needs to escape reality.

• 🔥 Why our flock has grown so quickly over the past few months here at Letters From God.

Dear Humans,

Another day, another disaster waiting to happen. Donold wants Boeing to rush a new Air Force One—because what could possibly go wrong? Inflation is "back" (according to Donold), people are apparently flipping eggs like real estate, and Sean Duffy is making up more lies about air safety.

Oh, and if Jesus came back? Yeah, let's just say it wouldn't go well.

Let's get into it.

• The Department of Government Evil (DOGE)

• Donold wants Boeing to rush a new Air Force One

• What Donold is really saying when he admits inflation is 'back'

• Are humans are buying up all the eggs just to resell them?

• What God thinks would happen to his son if he returned to Earth

• The latest lies Sean Duffy is sharing about air safety

• How Donold accidentally insulted his Vice President while fawning over Elon

Dear Humans,

Sometimes, the universe delivers a moment of pure, unfiltered schadenfreude so powerful that even God and Jesus can't handle it. This was one of those moments.

Elon Musk's own son obliterated Donold in the Oval Office, proving once and for all that even small children know to tell him to shut up and go away. And we, your benevolent deities, are here to watch it unfold together and laugh our divine asses off.

• Baby X (or, as we prefer, Elon's son) had a hot mic moment of the century.

• "Shut up, go away." – A perfect summary of how the world feels about Donold.

• Donold, of course, just stood there awkwardly, because he's not used to hearing the truth.

• The fact that this happened in the Oval Office makes it even funnier.

Listen to today's episode right now!

Dear Humans,

It's only been 17 days since Tangerine Palpatine somehow returned, and the United States is in a full-blown crisis. Planes are dropping from the sky, Donold wants to build a casino in Gaza, and a foreign billionaire is the shadow president. But take heart! We're looking to the helpers.

1. We watch some powerful and hilarious moments from Democrats dissing the shit out of Felon Musk as they protest at the Treasury building. Watch us laugh as Ayanna Presley calls Elon a "Nazi nepo baby."

2. What happened with Trump's trade war (he lost lol)

3. Is it even safe to fly anymore?

4. We discuss the dystopian fantasies of the tech broligarchy

5. How to keep fighting back, dammit!

Dear Humans,

While it may feel like an eternity, it's only been TEN DAYS since America's worst President returned to the White House. It's become clear that you all died in 2016. And yes, this is Hell.

As creators of the Universe, we can exclusively confirm the answers to all of the questions you've been pondering over the last few days.

1. We expose how Donold's very expensive and cruel racism managed to raise coffee prices.

2. God attacks the racist masculinity complex and defines what it really means to be a man.

3. People who voted for Trump are now tragically being either fired or deported.

4. In light of Trump renaming the Gulf of Mexico, God has a new, official name for the United States of America and Texas.

5. And we wrap with some uplifting news… because we have to have things to look forward to for this planet!
