We dive into everything from merman baptisms in a strip club bath to pulling back the metaphorical foreskin of Jericho....
In this magical episode, we fight through some cursed or possibly possessed recording software to conjure up some great examples of how Christianity and witchcraft are pretty goddamn similar. And if the recording seems a little glitchy, just blame God, because we did our best (which obviously is NEVER good enough for that narcissist).
We get down to the nitty gritty and ask the burning bush questions like; Why is men’s...
On this episode, we sit down with the amazing Mr. Trust aka TrustButVerify on TikTok and YouTube! He opens up about growing up in a deeply religious environment, his struggles through his faith crisis, and his thirteen+ (yes, we lost count) cover-to-cover readings of the Bible.

Shakira law, Republicans crashing Grindr, and the corporation, uh we mean... the church...of Latter Day Saints has way too much fucking money!

Back in our day, crunchy people were liberals that smelled like patchouli and wore birkenstocks. When did republican moms in prairie dresses and maga hats take over?? Weird.
In this episode, we’re diving headfirst into the (greased with beef tallow) crunchy-to-alt right pipeline: Autism, Tylenol, MLM cults, bad science, and really bad RFK Jr. impressions.
So join us! Let’s laugh so we don’t cry, under the most brainworm...
Today our anonymous guest Jezebel shares her story of growing up with Pentecostal Oneness: a fringe sect of the Pentecostal church where the teachings on "spiritual connections" (aka church sanctioned marital affairs) started with dance and prayer partners and ended with "adultery is totally fine as long as you don't spill your seed in them!"
Luckily Jezebel's family left that church earl...
It's the most wonderful time of the year! No, not Christmas silly... It's the Rapture! And it's definitely, totally, actually, happening this time. For real.

Our unholy trinity of hosts sit down for an unstructured and unhinged conversation about the ridiculous stories in the bible. That's it! Noah's Ark? Jonah and the whale? David and his trusty bag of 200 foreskins? Weird, dude.
