  • 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.

  • Podcast #573: Childless Millennials, Hell, and Armageddon
    2026/05/18

    We kick off this episode with some TV banter as well as discussing new AI music tools and The Beatles' White Album. Christian gives an update on his trick back, and then we hear from a younger Millennial about how no one is having kids anymore. We get into issues like sex work and OnlyFans, and then consider some reasons why some films just "feel real" while others don't (and it has nothing to do with setting or genre). We hear from a TikTok pastor about what hell's all about, and then go into another segment of "Pastor Jack's Off."

  • Podcast #572: Aging, Memory, and Screen-time
    2026/05/04

    We kick off this episode with some banter about two abbreviations that are important to each of us: the NBA and an MRI (you can guess whose is whose). Jason laments the process of pounding the pavement and then shares a bizarre mystery concerning his coffee maker, after which we discuss the effect aging has upon our memory. We dive into the issue of how the use of devices and screen-time have on children's development, from which we springboard into a larger discussion about the wholesale dependence upon technology that we as a society have.

  • Podcast #571: Artificial Unintelligence, Midwest Musings, and Old Politicians
    2026/04/27

    This episode of DXP (which was NOT recorded on a cruise ship) begins with some lamentations about how unintelligent Artificial Intelligence is. We then play several voicemails from a listener from the Midwest on topics ranging from differing forms of government to partisan hypocrisy (as well as how we are incredibly frustrating to listen to). We discuss a video arguing for age limits for politicians (we kind of don't agree, at least not fully), and then conclude with another segment of Pastor Jack's Off on the topic of demon possession, on which he is obviously an expert.

  • Podcast #570: Immigration and Political Tribalism
    2026/04/20

    This episode of DXP begins with an update on Christian's pain-filled trip to the Caribbean. We then hear from a caller from Texas on the issue of immigration, from which we springboard into a discussion about whether larger populations require different political structures than smaller ones. We discuss the issue of political tribalism and its unfortunate tendency to swallow entire personalities. We conclude with another segment of "Pastor Jack's Off."

  • Podcast #569: TV Writing, Relativity, and Boredom
    2026/04/06

    We kick off this episode of DXP with a discussion about pro sports and how technology could actually improve the product. We address a voicemail about the use of subtitles when watching TV, which leads to a longer discussion about the quality of recent television more broadly. We spend a fair bit of time responding to a caller's question about last week's brief mention of the theory of relativity, and then conclude by engaging with a TikTok creator's thoughts on childhood boredom.

  • Podcast #568: Harry Potter, Aliens, and Israel
    2026/03/30

    This episode of DXP kicks off with a discussion of the coming Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter reboots, after which we discuss Project Hail Mary and the issue of "practical effects." We listen to a theory claiming that things in this country are actually improving, after which we discuss the growing acceptance of the existence of aliens (which leads into some deeper conspiracy-related topics). We conclude with Pastor Jack being a moron about the significance of Israel.

We discuss the upcoming Firefly reboot, and then return to the issue of online betting and Polymarket in particular. We play a couple voicemails about ICE which leads to a discussion about selective outrage. We discuss the issues surrounding Greenland, and close with another segment of "Pastor Jack's Off."
