  • Podcast #581: The World Cup, The Odyssey, and Faithful Historical Adaptation
    2026/07/27

    This episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors begins with a surprisingly long discussion about clothes: We discuss our around-the-house wardrobes as well as our going-out ones, and how an article of clothing goes from one category to the other. We revisit the World Cup one final time, wondering whether America will ever truly embrace soccer. We finish up discussing two recent films, The Invite and The Odyssey, and specifically some of the controversy surrounding the latter.

  • Podcast #580: 2000's TV, Spotify's Most-Streamed, and Preacher Voices
    2026/07/20

    We kick off this episode with a discussion of how much better Entourage is than The OC. We then talk about a video highlighting Spotify's most streamed songs of the last 66 years (some real surprises on there). We play a few voicemails—one about unknowing (which leads to a broader conversation about epistemology), another about whether we used to have those "preacher voices" when we were pastors, and another about the World Cup. We wrap up with a very brief edition of "Pastor Jack's Off."

  • Podcast #579: World Cup Meddling, Meta Addiction, and the Parameters of Consciousness
    2026/07/13

    We kick off this episode talking about the recent reemergence of Kevin Spacey, after which we shift gears and discuss the World Cup, and President Trump's meddling on America's behalf specifically. We talk about the recent lawsuit against Meta for allegedly making Facebook so addicting, which causes us to wonder where personal responsibility factors in. We wrap things up by touching on author Michael Pollan's provocative questions about the parameters of consciousness.

  • Podcast #578: Simulation Theory, Trillionaires, and GLP1s
    2026/07/06

    This episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors begins with a bit of World Cup and Lakers banter (you can guess who brought up which), after which we listen to another voicemail about the topic of mythicism. We discuss the consistency of Christianity and simulation theory, and then discuss the baggy-clothes trend that has returned (although these kids probably think they invented it). We talk about Musk being the world's first trillionaire and the fallout from comedian Nate Bargatze's appearance at Trump's birthday event at the White House. We end with some remarks about GLP1s and another edition of "Pastor Jack's Off."

  • Podcast #577: World Cup Tourists and More Mythicism
    2026/06/22

    We kick off this episode of DXP hearing about Christian's first ever in-person World Cup game. We jump from there to the trend where tourists from all over the world are freaking out about how amazing they think America is. We play a couple of voicemails from listeners asking questions about last week's discussion of mythicism and then conclude by making fun of Pastor Jack-off's belief in the rapture.

  • Podcast #576: The World Cup, Jury Duty, and Mythicism
    2026/06/15

    We begin this episode with Christian geeking out about some soccer match that's allegedly happening, as well as by talking about the amazing career that Jason is about to embark on. We talk about the reality TV show Jury Duty, and then spend some time discussing the upcoming Christopher Nolan film, The Odyssey, and its casting decisions in particular. We conclude with a lengthy discussion of the concept of Mythicism as applied to the New Testament.

  • Podcast #575: Economics, Ozempic, and Making Local Culture Local Again
    2026/06/01

    We begin the show with a bit of banter, after which we play a TikTok about the absurdity of our entire economic system and the so-called "limited resources" we all fear will run out. We listen to a pretty savage, but mostly accurate, account of Conservative Christianity, and then discuss some lesser-known side effects of drugs like Ozempic. We conclude with a conversation about the loss of any truly local culture.

  • Podcast #574: Spotify, Corruption, and Atypical Christians
    2026/05/25

    We kick off this episode of the show by considering various ways a person today might "take the black" (little Game of Thrones reference there). We compare our lists of all-time Spotify streams, and then play a TikTok about Trump's recent DOJ deal, discussing whether such corruption is relatively new or whether it was just more hidden in times past. We compare TV and movies as forms of art, and then we do another segment of "Pastor Jack's Off" where Jack Hibbs whines about Muslims or something. We close with the suggestion that the cultural touchstone that just may unite Gen-Xers, Millennials, and Gen-Z is Survivor.
