Does Your Pastor Think You're Stupid? (Ep.41)

EPISODE 41: Does Your Pastor Think You’re Stupid? (Ep.41) In this episode, Kris and Justin examine and discuss a very curious post by a very curious individual who is… A PASTOR. We suppose we all better just shut up and listen to the inspired wisdom of this great mind of our times. JK, we taking it allllll apart. Is a simple faith truly better than actually getting educated on a matter? We have our doubts on that take. As always, you all decide for yourselves!

Women’s Sports and Bathrooms, and the Transgender Community (Ep.40)

The vilification of the trans community when it comes to sports and bathrooms is outrageous, hateful, and oh so popular right now. We’d love to exist in another timeline, but this is what we’ve got, so let’s talk reality. We all know conservatives are incredibly skilled at making stuff up and getting people to believe them… We’re here to at least help you find the facts in this whole mess. Join us as we tackle myths and talking points that are dominating the narrative around women and the trans community.
