  • Back in the Game!

    In which the duo talk about Mother's Day and Ethan shares some updates. 

    And hey, whether you have someone who mothered you or whether you mostly mothered yourself and others, whether your mom is here and loving you or whether your mom is somewhere else or not able to love you as well as you deserve, we think you're pretty great. Don't let anyone tell you any different, especially from the pulpit. 

    And hey, pastors? You're doing the work and we hope that your congregations love you well too.

  • Minisode 64: Skipper's Bane

    It's like in My Favorite Murder, you know? Where they talk and talk about things that have nothing to do with murder, for like 40 minutes? And then people who really care about murder just skip that part? Well, this is all stuff that those people would skip, if those kind of people listened to our podcast. Spanks updates the Dude on some non-political news about politicians, the duo round out their conversation on Captain America and the Winter Soldier, and Young Rock gets another mention on this podcast that's mostly about pro wrestling now, I guess.
