In this episode of We Should Know Better, the guys return to the studio to trace humanity's long tradition of freaking out over new developments—from 18th-century "novel-reading panics" and "bicycle face" to modern doomerism around AI.

The conversation pivots into high-stakes theology when a viral clip of an 18-day coma patient meeting an ultra-masculine "stallion Jesus" leads to a fiery debate on whether God can be described as non-binary.

Zack and Andy collide over the limits of biblical inerrancy, differing gospel endings, and Daryl Cooper's take on whether the cross was a pagan-style appeasement or divine solidarity.

Finally, they lock horns in an intense philosophical debate: does every human truly possess the capacity to become a John Wayne Gacy, or are some depths of evil built differently?

Regular churchgoers are dodging the "sex recession" and getting it on far more than secular couples.

In this episode of We Should Know Better, the guys pour a healthy splash of bourbon into the evening and navigate an absolute gauntlet of pop culture, crime, and bedroom statistics.

They start with Justin Verlander’s emotional walk off the mound and Jameis Winston’s script-worthy press conferences, before stumbling into vintage footage of a 17-year-old Tupac Shakur as an articulate high school theater kid.

Things take a dark turn unpacking the conviction of former American Idol contestant and worship pastor Caleb Flynn.

Then, the main event: a deep dive into The Atlantic’s viral piece claiming regular churchgoers are dodging the "sex recession" and getting it on far more than secular couples. Andy’s wife Lyndsey unexpectedly pulls up a chair to fact-check the guys on biblical standards, the orgasm gap, and why emotional intimacy changes the math. Finally, they address local car crash rumors and draft their dream setlist for the upcoming house show.

In this episode of We Should Know Better, the guys return from surviving the Southern California heat exhaustion to break down a bizarre lineup of culture, greed, and bad judgment.

They kick things off debating tennis star sideline beer chugs and the alleged "Ballmer Peak" of productivity, before unpacking the tragic death of OC Cars and Coffee founder James Wehr.

Things get fiery as they react to an unhinged pulpit rant claiming abused wives are "evil" for calling the cops, dissect the massive $17M child sponsorship lawsuit embroiling MercyMe and the Newsboys, and dive into Macklemore getting booted from Ed Sheeran's stadium tour over Palestinian solidarity.

To cap it all off, the crew tackles high-society sellouts, Magic Mind routines, and recent YouTube comments.

"I tend to think taking the Lord's name in vain has less to do with a swear or curse moment, but a lot more with having a human agenda that is not good, unjust... and then using the Lord's name to justify it and make it good."

In this episode of We Should Know Better, the guys pour a fresh glass of Michter's and traverse through the absurdity of modern culture. After raising a glass to Dolly Parton and mourning Big Bear's beloved bald eagle, they dissect a Homeland Security recruitment video using Isaiah 6:8 and dig into what "taking the Lord's name in vain" truly means beyond just swearing.

The conversation heats up as they examine the bad-faith trolling of Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White entering the WNBA draft, the bizarre world of longevity biohacker Bryan Johnson, and whether optimizing every second of your health means forgetting how to actually live. To wrap things up, the crew compares their late-mid-40s skincare routines and tackles long-winded YouTube comments.

Katheryn Krick: Spirit or spectacle? Faith or fraud? Another alliteration I can't think of right now?

In this episode of We Should Know Better, the crew gets back into the studio to unpack the wild world of modern church culture and viral internet theology. They kick things off by reviewing the hyper-polished production of South Orange County mega-churches before diving into a viral clip linking a lack of tithing to one's sexual proclivities.

The guys also dissect an airplane meltdown involving an end-times street preacher, look critically at the cultish dynamics surrounding self-proclaimed apostle Katheryn Krick, and unpack what true biblical masculinity looks like compared to modern caricature.

Finally, things take a grounded, vulnerable turn as they wrestle with unanswered prayers, serious illness, and what it means to hold space for hard questions in faith.

Abuse cover-up at Wheaton College and Lindsey Graham died leading to a thirty-three percent drop in war just kidding I made that last part up.

The guys welcome a special four-legged guest—Ranger the pod dog—before diving straight into the chaos of the internet comment section. Things get spicy as they tackle wild online reactions to their controversial takes on Noah’s flood, divine violence, and the Nephilim.

Later in the show, the hosts reflect on the passing of Lindsey Graham, unravel the troubling cover-up scandal out of Wheaton College, and dissect the subtle art of soccer flopping and terrible baseball umpires.

We talk about the Bible verses that changed Rick Warren's mind about women in church leadership positions as well as the feud between him and the Souther Baptist Convention.

What happens when you let your wife produce the podcast and you threaten to fire her during the show? Absolute chaos!

In this episode, we're joined by special guest producer Lyndsey to break down everything from the marital magic of "chore play" and listener voicemails, to Rick Warren and the Southern Baptist Conventions split over women in church leadership, and why rigid church cultures struggle with nuance.

Plus, we take a detour through ancient text interpretations, first-century euphemisms, and what it really feels like to step into a brand new church community after a decade of leading the old one.

In this episode of We Should Know Better, the guys dive headfirst into a hilariously chaotic mix of viral street culture, heavy theological head-scratchers, and unsolicited physical observations.

Zack and Andy break down a bizarre viral video of a street preacher casting quite the extreme "biblical" curse on a dancing Jesus impersonator. They then pivot into a raw, honest conversation about their own insecurities—from Zack’s legendary "missing link" brow ridge to Andy’s sudden realization that his bladder is working overtime.

Later, they tackle the mental shift of unexpected inheritance money, debate the controversial new Texas law mandating Bible reading in public schools, and pull up the receipts on Genesis 9 to figure out exactly what happened when Noah got a little too drunk in his tent.

Finally, they question whether a lack of modern creativity means the global simulation is simply running out of memory. Pull up a chair, crack a cold IPA, and remember: we should probably know better.
