The Maybe Box

On today's episode, Chad and Matt talk about their Christmas experiences, the great things God did in people's lives in 2017, child-rearing mildstones, Chad gives a movie review, and we find out we need a new intor song. Listen in!

This week, the guys discuss being dictator of a island nation, lame GoFundMe accounts, free speech, ideas about a forthcoming apologetics show and completely forget to discuss Christmas.

The greatest Christmas decorating idea for Christians EVER is just the start of today's Maybe Box. Between discussing Christian voting/buying convictions and habits and naming Mitch Rivers new apologetics show, the guys discuss our Biblical obligation to elected officials while keeping God first. They also laugh about dumb stuff per show bylaws. Warning to listeners who are lazy - this episode includes a call to discipline from Bill Boop, the Chuck Norris Chair of the Hub Network Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Not sure how to summarize today's show other than we laughed a lot and will be remaking the "Christmas Shoes" video. We also visit with Mitch Rivers about his upcoming HUB Network show and his dislike of the British.

Matt & Chad discuss a reported Bigfoot sighting from June in Round Rock and the disclosure by a former government official that UFO's are real (and try to decide if either fit a Biblical narrative). They also decide if amateur rocket scientist "Mad Mike" Ferguson is a fraud, the beauty of Main Street Bethlehem in Burnet, Texas and talk through the possibility of adapting a popular Japanese game show to America.

Is the traditional nuclear family a cult? We discuss it. Are the awful sexual assault allegations diminished by some of the reporting? We discuss that. Should an amateur rocket scientist launch his own creation? We discuss that too. Who is this week's "Snakebit" person in the news (unofficially sponsored by the Texas Rattlesnake, Kelly Walne)? We'll give you two. Is the Carolina Reaper Pepper as hot as is advertised (the hottest in the world)? YES. ABSOLUTELY YES.

Let's say you wanted to hear a show about April the Giraffe's unpublicized husband (Gus), gastrointestinal pain in exchange for food donations, radio hacking with 80's hair metal, a fake story about an elderly criminal mastermind and her 65 cats as well as a treatise on the importance of bathroom humor in our show. More importantly, we continue to share the gospel as we go. AND, you get to hear the greatest song ever as we pray at the end. That would be fantastic, wouldn't it? DONE.

The guys discuss a laundry list of items in the news and culture while aiming to keep the conversation away from the bathroom. It didn't work.

The guys dive deeper into the debate over masculinity and gender. This also leads into the danger of bad actors and exceptions in defining norms on issues such as race, abortion and more. They also discuss the future of movies and the movie-going experience. For the fourth consecutive week, a food challenge was issued by listeners and done via Facebook Live and on the pod (spoiler - Matt was not a fan of this one).

Taste-testing tropical pickles (Tropickles) and wayback confessions about lying to shoe buyers are offset by deep discussion about how we can respond as followers of Christ when hurt is present.
