You thought one mask was annoying? 2021 and the left have an answer for you: how about 2? 3?

E10 - JUSTICE, thy name is SCALIA
April 02, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 32 MBThe sudden passing of the unwavering, irreplaceable Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia required our devoting an episode to the brilliant "Nino" and the virtue he fought tirelessly to uphold: JUSTICE. It's just justice, you know, the often confused kissing cousin of karma. Because justice isn't just about "gettin' yours" or "squarin' deals," justice is truly from the almighty and we take a little time unpacking some of its deeper meanings. Enjoy and please email us at [email protected] wi...
E19 - God and Evil
April 02, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 33.1 MBIn this episode, Pop and Jess tackle what many of the greatest minds have called the most powerful argument against God: the problem of pain. How can an all good God allow suffering? He must either be not all powerful or not all good. You won't find rationalizing here--we have all had too many horrible experiences in our lives to not empathize with the emptiness that often accompanies great suffering. Maybe not our most "lighthearted" podcast, but definitely one of the most important. And we...

E22 - Thin Black and Blue Line
April 02, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 37.5 MBIt's just so en vogue to call everyone racist, why not? Well, when you're talking about law enforcement, one good reason not to is because it makes them and all the rest of us WAYYYYY less safe.

From the whisperiest whisper to the shoutiest shout, God talks to us a...

April 02, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 28.5 MBLet's get this new year off to a good start by tackling one of the most debilitating factors of human existence! (How celebratory and lighthearted of us!) The Bible is FULL of God telling us not to be afraid, not to mention other religions and even secular society. From Popes and Saintst to talk-show hosts and fortune cookies, we all have been told not to fear in varying ways, and with good reason. Fear not faithful listeners--Pop and Jess will help you with some practical techniques and adv...

Their first topic of the New Year is all about being a faithful follower of God is a world of so much godlessness, it would make the people of Sodom and Gomorrah blush!

Don't let the mindless voices out there get to you: guns aren't the problem here. We wade through the weak and wanton...
E5 - Truth in Art
April 02, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 29.5 MBHow dare you say that my spray-painted self-portrait from the boardwalk in Santa Cruz is less "meaningful" than that French sad-sack impressionist's bowl of sunflowers? Don't you know the old saying, "to each their own," or "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," or how about, "suck it." Is there some objective truth to what makes "good" art? We give sorting that out our best shot during this avant-garde episode. Oui, oui!
