    Podcast #561: Renee Good, the Emergent Church, and Split-Screening

    We begin this episode talking about a former classmate of ours who recently died of cancer. We return one last time to the Apple TV+ program, Pluribus, and share our thoughts on its first season, and then play a voicemail about the emergent church and its leaders. Another caller offers a humorous observation about Jason, and then we spend some time talking about protesting in general and Renee Good in particular. We discuss the dumbing-down of media content to accommodate people's split-screening, and then we conclude with another segment of "Pastor Jack's Off."

    Cabo Cruises, Sacramentalism, and the Liberal Experiment

    We come to you this week from a ship off the coast of Cabo San Lucas! We begin by talking about the cruise, and the Name-That-Eighties-Tune competition in particular (we had some gripes). We talk about evangelicalism and the separation of church and state, expressing some doubts about the validity and practical viability of the whole post-WWII liberal project more broadly (can individualistic religions cohabitate with theocratic ones? Does diversity really work?). We then discuss why it's important for our souls to listen to music on vinyl as opposed to music in its digital and compressed (read: gnostic) form.

    At the Tone, Please Record Your Message

    We begin this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors by entertaining the (disturbing or exciting) thought that we could soon become grandfathers. A voicemail about The Last of the Mohicans leads to a discussion about One Battle After Another, then we hear from another caller talking about Scott Galloway's warnings around online dating culture. Another listener asks about how to deal with pro-Israel evangelical parents, and then we briefly talk about the death of Rob Riener and his wife. We conclude with a couple listeners' biebers involving streaming platforms and tap-to-pay credit card machines.

    Old Movies and the Plight of Young Men

    This episode begins with a discussion of "period-piece" films, and we then pivot to discussing the new Peacock show All Her Fault (there are spoilers). We give a brief update on the case against Pastor Mike Montgomery, and then spend the remainder of the episode discussing Scott Galloway's new book on the plight of young men in this country: disproportionately suicidal, increasingly isolated and rejected, and less and less likely to start a family.

    Pluribus, Satan, and Zionist Crusaders

    We begin this episode of DXP with a discussion about how frustrating Jason finds the premise of the new show, Pluribus. We briefly discuss the bizarre (but frightening if true) allegation by Candace Owens that the French government has ordered her assassination, and then talk about whether the Epstein files will end up being a big nothing burger. We dig in to a breaking story about a Zionist pastor's valiant crusade for Israel (there's a huge wrinkle to this story by the way), and then play a couple voicemails about previous AI conversations. We conclude with "Pastor Jack's Off."

    Wayward Pines, AI Music, and Christian Welfare

    After some initial cruise-related banter we begin the show by talking about Wayward Pines, the series of books and TV episodes by author Blake Crouch. Christian realizes that Jason was right about Matt Dillon not being a good actor; we then discuss whether an AI can actually write a good song (it's complicated). We talk about the woman who allegedly called dozens of churches looking for help feeding her baby and was refused, and then believe it or not, we share a couple biebers after the return of Pastor Jack's Off.

    A.I., Sexual Ethics, and Robot Girlfriends

    We hear from a listener with some thoughts on the recently-discussed issue of synthetic relationships and "robot girlfriends," which leads to the topic of sex robots and the ethics of it all. We hear from another caller with some insight into "plastoline" (the alternative fuel source discussed last week).

    Synthetic Lovers, Plastoline, and Algorithmic Disruption

    We begin this episode by highlighting a fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Joseph Gordon Levitt over the issue of "synthetic relationships" and their implications for young children. We discuss the recent invention of plastoline, an alternative fuel source that can power automobiles. We conclude by considering one of Bill Maher's recent New Rules involving intentionally disrupting our social media algorithms in order to make space for understanding of and dialog with our opponents.
