Episode 61 - Doubting Thomas

St. Patrick’s Day 2021. The show opens with an Irish rebel song called a S.A.M. Billy states he must pay homage to the IRA on the day because of the oppressive arm of the British government in a joking manner. Somehow this prompts a quick chat about some colorful memes of Prince Philp floating around the internet. There’s talk of and Angry Algorithms IPA in the making by a former guest and soon it will be taste-tested on the podcast. The pair discuss how they know absolutely nothing about IPA’s, what they entail and personally do not care for their taste. Taylor chimes in and says there are so many and different types-Justin and Billy poke fun at him and say, “of course Taylor likes them.” Billy calls himself a “Doubting Thomas” and Justin finds humor in it which compels a conversation about who doubting Thomas was and where the saying originated. It comes from a biblical story which is explained but not without some blasphemous mocking. The topic of Kirk Franklin comes up, who is a popular gospel musician and a scandal where his son audio records a fight between them. Justin plays some of the recording and you can hear him cursing and making threats. They call him the gospel DJ Khalid and bring up his Oprah interview where he admitted a porn addiction some time ago. NFT (Non-Fungible Tokens) v.
