"The Bible" Part 2 feat. Cat Cohen (RE-RELEASE)

Heyeth, best friends in Christ! The Lord hath sent us His Most Fabulous Messenger—Catherine Cohen of the village of Houston—to discuss His “Second Testament,” aka The New Testament, aka Season 2 of the Holy Bible. From weeping for thine Jewish friends who will burn in the fires of Hell to why Jesus resembleth a member of Fleet Foxes, the divine sex workers of Nazareth, Jesus having only child syndrome, TEDxBethlehem, and addressing if the Virgin Mary was a liar (yes). This is the Book of All Books, The Lastest of all Suppers. Come break unleavened bread and Slay In The Name of All That Is Holy. Amen.

"The Bible" Part 1 feat. Ben Mora (RE-RELEASE)

Get on your knees, ladies! Toxic gay Twitter frenemy Ben Mora joins our favorite Massholes for the world’s biggest celebrity—God—and his 1300 B.C. bestseller, The Bible. From everyone on the pod having COVID (God’s work) to which Bible characters are non-binary, Nazareth’s circumcision obsession, Noah’s red carpet, Lily and Ben’s Unitarian Universalist pasts, and why God is a JAP—this is a journey of biblical proportions. Amen, brother. Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/cbcthepod See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jay "Pablo Michaels" Manuel

I was rooting for you!! We were ALL rooting for you!!! This week we read Jay Manuel's "novel"/self-insertion fan fiction about what it was like to work on America’s Next Top Model in "The Wig, the Bitch and the Meltdown." We dive into this burn book and discuss the 2000’s hot spots Tao and Buddakan (and why Jay chose to put them in a novel that takes place in 2020), doing Tyra dirty, Miss J's d*ck pics, why Janice Dickinson is our favorite, and that scene where Jay gets to pretend that Nigel Barker wanted him carnally. Move over Rachel Cusk, there’s a new queen of auto-fiction in town! Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/cbcthepod See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Had an entire paragraph typed out that attempted to praise the most brilliant podcast / best friend podcasters that the world has ever seen…. but ultimately anyone who listens to CBC will immediately realize they’ve been a club kid all along, so instead of reading reviews i recommend picking any episode from the CBC library—there’s literally not one single skip in the entire 300+ episode catalog—and just give Steven and Lily a listen for yourself. srsly 10/10 doesn’t even begin to approach the perfection of CBC and review words are just taking up minutes you could otherwise be spending listening to two of the smartest, most hilarious, most creative, most culturally brilliant, and most overall engaging people you’ll ever get the pleasure of having a parasocial relationship with
