Podcast #68: Slouching toward Idiocracy

In this episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors, Jason and Christian discuss whether excessive drinking is really as harmful as all the experts unanimously warn (turns out it's fine). We then discuss a recent documentary about The Shining, seeking to determine whether Kubrick was really the genius his most devoted fans insist he was, or whether those fans need to move out of their parents' basements and do something more constructive. We take a couple brief calls about guns, as well as give some marital advice, ironically, to a caller with a conservative wife. We then turn our attention to the issue of technology's effects on our culture, and whether democratizing the flow of information is worth how stupid it's making us. Jason is biebered by his looming death, while Christian's bieber involves uncharitable hermeneutical practices. Also, cock rings? Discuss. . . .
