Ep. 271 – Dare to Discipline: Dr. Dobson's Glossary Criminal Slang
1w ago01:46:45Tap to summarizeThis week we’re revisiting the must-have book for any parent: Dare to Discipline by Dr. James Dobson, the Kim Il Sung of Focus on the Family! There’s a riveting chapter about the perils of child drug abuse, and Jimmy D will teach you the symptoms and slang terms necessary to spot a budding barbiturate dependency in your tipsy teen-turned-prostitute. But before that, we’re once again cracking open the Apocrypha to study a scathing rebuke of both potty mouths like Sam and, well... women in general. Enjoy the show!

Ep. 270 – Reverend Russel Brand Crowned Sword Drill Champion
2w ago01:51:34Tap to summarizeThis week we’re catching up on a few stories that have been in the news, including Russel Brand sharing his powerful testimony with Pierce Morgan, the very real and terrifying Iranian dolphin torpedo threat, and The Onion’s acquisition of InfoWars! Then we dive into some of our favorite subreddits, including r/christiandating and r/christianmarriage for some salient relationship advice including when it’s appropriate to use law enforcement as a means of teaching your wife Biblical submission. Enjoy the show!
Transcribe →Ep. 269 – DrWitnesser: The Rootinest, Tootinest, Slur-Slinging Evange-legume on the Fortnite Frontier
3w ago01:34:51Tap to summarizeThis week we’re joined by our old friend Jay to discuss Twitch lolcow and one of the most annoying internet creatures in recent memory, DrWitnesser/TheFaithfulSheriff! The gimmick is simple: clip farm your streams by “sharing the Gospel” in the most shallow way imaginable with your Fortnite lobby of mostly children. When people inevitably react to the rage-bait tactics, cry about being persecuted for your beliefs. It’s a tried-and-true scheme, but one that TheFaithfulSheriff puts a fresh spin on by directly copying the personas of more successful streamers. Now add in the fact that he’s a sloppymaxxing culture war hack, and I’m sure you’re starting to feel that blunt, familiar ache around your temples. Believe me, it’s only going to get worse…
Transcribe →Ep. 268 – Dare to Discipline: Dr. Dobson's Autism Boo Box
Apr 2301:26:43Tap to summarizeThis week we’re taking a look at a fascinating book written by the late great Dr. James Dobson: “The New Dare to Discipline.” This quintessential parenting guide was originally written by the good doctor while his own children were still in preschool, which the haters will say invalidates its timeless Biblical themes and enhanced interrogation techniques. However, the “New” Dare to Discipline is an updated version that is kid-tested, Dobson approved (in much the same way that hair loss medications and carcinogenic cosmetics used to be tested on golden retrievers). We’re going to focus on a fantastic chapter called “The Miracle Tools Pt. 1,” where Dobby shares some thought-provoking research into the treatment of childhood autism. So sit back, ignore the sounds of screaming children (those aren’t added in post for dramatic effect… Sam is on family vacation), and enjoy the show!
Transcribe →Ep. 267 – When Does Wearing Panties Become a Problem for Almighty God?
Apr 1001:30:01Tap to summarizeThis week, we’re taking a look at some of the weirdest behavior Jehovah’s Witness families see as normal, tackling the tough subject of gendered undergarments as an afront to God, and offering moral and spiritual support to a sister in Christ whose unwavering, lily white purity grinds the gears of the dirty reprobates around her. Enjoy the show!

Transcribe →Ep. 265 – Duggar Family Values & The Clavicular of Boomermaxxing
Mar 2701:26:31Tap to summarizeThis week we’re checking in on America’s ickiest family outside Capitol Hill, the Duggars! These folks just can’t seem to stay out of the spotlight. While Josh has traditionally generated most of the Duggar-related headlines, his brother Joseph and wife Kendra are giving him a run for his money. It’s a disgusting, shocking story and we hope they get what they deserve. Then we discuss a local hero whose good deeds are almost too abundant to list, but that’s not going to stop him from trying… Enjoy the show!
Transcribe →Ep. 264 – r/christiandating: Be Honest, Were You a Prostitute?
Mar 1201:42:09Tap to summarizeThis week we’re digging into some advice posts on Reddit! The online church is fielding a wide variety of questions from alternative engagement jewelry, to alarmingly possessive boyfriends, to the very real threat of demonic porn possession. Come along with us while we assist these brothers and sisters in Christ!
Transcribe →Ep. 263 – World War 3, Bible Camp Truth or Dare, and Other Such Perilous Battlefields
Mar 601:39:30Tap to summarizeWell, I guess we’re at war… again. So we’re lamenting the fact that our country seems bound and determined to drag the world into a meat grinder one more time before the empire dissolves, and then we examine a post from a young man who is bound and determined to drag his fledgling relationship into the meat grinder before it even starts. Stay safe out there, kids.
Transcribe →Ep. 262 – The Book of Mormon: The Charge of the Lamanite Brigade
Feb 2601:41:05Tap to summarizeThis week we’re dipping back into the book of Mormon for the first time in a while! We got a little bored with the Book of Alma, so we’re moving on to the Book of Helaman, where a real Game of Thrones situation unfolds recounting the power struggle for the Judgement Seat (which is an actual chair, btw). Take studious notes and enjoy the show!
