This week Sam is joined by friends Chris and Doug to review “Halfway 2 Jesus,” a brand new gospel album from acclaimed singer/songwriter Bob Ritchie, aka Kid Rock! Bob is widely known for his Christian beliefs and positive message, so we’re all itching to hear what’s behind the clip art on the cover. If nothing else, it’s interesting to hear what a hungover Pete Hegseth listens to in the Blackhawk on his way to the whites only worship service... Enjoy the show!

Ep. 292 – Kid Rock: The Grift That Keeps on Giving w/ Chris & Doug

This week we scour the market for a faith-based alternative to (de)Monster Energy, a satanic product that the Antichrist (Peter Thiel) will sip from a champagne glass from his front row seat overlooking the tribulation guillotines. Like Frodo(Casey) and Sam(Sam, but fatter) ascending the craggy slopes of Mt Doom(Shopify), we march with steadfast courage toward our likely demise (pancreatic cancer). Drink responsibly!

Ep. 291 – The Bro-methean Serum: In Search of the Original Christian Energy Drink

This week we’re joined by Cal and Ant from LOUDSOUNDS! We got together to talk about Ant’s trip down the Catholic-to-protestant-to-exvangelical log flume, and discuss their upcoming album, The Shape of Your Ghost. Check out their new single of the same name wherever you stream music, pre-save the new album, and follow LOUDSOUNDS on Instagram, TikTok, and Youtube (@loudsoundsband)!

Ep. 290 – The Priest with the Thickest Fingers w/ LOUDSOUNDS

This week we’re examining the accounts of three pioneers in the spiritual, metaphysical, and cosmic frontiers – Nik Keswani, Queen Okeoma, and Gabe Poirot! While their planes of exploration are all different, what unites them is burning desire to share the love of Christ for clout and coin. So buckle up, fellow starseeds, we’ve got a lot of grift to sift!

Ep. 289 – A Ride the Ducks Tour of Hell Courtesy of a Brain Hemorrhage   

This week we’re chatting about Kathryn Krick’s BOMBSHELL interview on the Tamron Hall show, boomers being conned out of house and home by Tim Tebow, and the Andy Elliott of time travelling vampire hunters, Katie Souza. Enjoy the show!

Ep. 288 – Generational Curse: Renounce Your Circumcision in the Courts of Heaven!

This week we’re discussing the strange, unsettling influx of internet prophets. They seem to be everywhere, right now, and it’s hard to imagine anyone taking these people seriously. They certainly do, though! Plus, we talk about goat-eyed Ed Sheeran caving to Robert “Rub’n’Tug” Kraft and his clown car of billionaire douchebags over Macklemore’s pro-Palestinian/anti-child murder statement. We went a little long, but we hope you enjoy it!

Ep. 287 – The Grift of Prophecy: From the Mundane to the Insane

This week we’re joined by Josh Carley, writer and director of the upcoming indy horror/pulp crime film, Sin On A Sunday! Here’s the synopsis:

“Louisiana pastor Ron Hill has the God-given ability to heal the sick and the lame - or does he? When a woman shows up at Ron's church looking for guidance, he's forced to face the reality of who he really is.”

Josh and his team are in the process of crowdfunding this movie, and they could use your help bringing it to life. Go to www.sinonasunday.com [http://www.sinonasunday.com/] for more information and a link to their Kickstarter campaign!

Ep. 286 – Sin On A Sunday w/ Filmmaker Josh Carley

This week we’re checking in on a few of the old school Christian bands from our youth! It seems like the Christian rock industry is in turmoil, and there are a few lawsuits in process right now as they feud with fans, tour partners, and management. Then we’re taking a look at an unusual youtube ministry I stumbled across called The Webbed Witnesser. It sure is refreshing to finally see someone making “logical” arguments on behalf of the Church… Enjoy the show!

Ep. 285 – Skillet, Demon Hunter, and MerceMe: The Contentious Settlement Tour

This week we’re examining Whitehouse wetnurse Natalie Harp’s “dear Don” letters, which may be the last vestiges of New World romantic literature. Then we’re sliding over to r/christiandating, where a young 20-something man has managed to crack the code on Christian dating, and let me tell you, he’s not interested in your worldly opinions on it.

Ep. 284 – 238lbs (245lbs w/ a Full Diaper) & Evangelical Elliot Roger

This week we’re joined by our buddy Jesse to discuss the accusations surrounding Psuedo-Messiah Geordavie, “Apostle” Katherine Krick, and hype house-disguised-as-a-church, 5F! Shockingly, a guy who rolls into church in a limousine wearing a crown with followers who drop to the floor when he touches them seems to have used his influence to sexually harass women. Crazy! Anyways, we hope you enjoy the show!

Ep. 283 – Apostle GeorDavie Can Sense That You Are Hard in the Spirit
