120 - 2 Left 2 Behind: 2 Tribulation 2 Force
Added 2024-01-03 07:00:04 +0000 UTC
The lads kick the new year off with fire-breathing prophets and lengthy discussions about world currencies as they cover the second movie in the Kirk Cameron faith-based trilogy: Left Behind II: Tribulation Force. Topics include the facts and logic of Rapture-based apocrypha, the void romantic chemistry that is Kirk Cameron, and what it means to live your life thinking that God will one day yeet you into the sky.

I never thought I'd hear a reading of painfully awkward, barely disguised kink fiction read aloud to Mass Effect club music

It was a bold artistic choice on the part of the author to make Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force become an arch bishop after the rapture

This episode is what made me finally subscribe to you guys. I went from laughing out loud at "spent, like Kirk Cameron over an ice cube tray" to gesturing "this" at the completely sincere, unsnarky description of the hugely problematic belief structure underlying Jenkins's "theology." As a nonbeliever I know way more about Left Behind than I should (h/t to Fred Clark's "Slacktivist" blog and his close reading of the series) but you guys nailed it. Cheers

As soon as I heard about the mallets, I was gonna rush in with a "Ball? Mallet?" Joke as soon as I heard a third item but then BRIAN STOLE THAT JOY FROM ME

You ever heard of the “Left Behind Kids”? I imagine it’s basically the kids of Odyssey after Whit gets raptured.

Kirkr is currently only available in Kirk Cameron's wife BUT it is apparently in BETA for a woman that Kirk Cameron saw jogging once.

Hey uh quick question for a friend on medical estrogen, is there a Kirk-less variant available for the app that completely restructures your body but which doesn't turn you into Kirk Cameron's wife specifically? That seems like a pretty large tradeoff. There is no friend, the friend is me

That's what makes some other religions' gods a bit easier to believe/swallow sometimes.
Zeus isn't omnipotent. And he doesn't watch you all the time, he's got his own life. You can appease him but he doesn't LOVE you.
Unless he maybe loves you a little too much. In which case you should probably run...

I live in Colorado and my girlfriend and I took a little trip to Colorado Springs. I enjoyed driving by the Focus on the Family building and dumping all my insular podcast info about it on her. It sits on a big hill, looming ominously over the surrounding area.

In the episode where Brian told the leather bar joke over and over I laughed a few times, but this one where he never pays it off made me laugh every single time.

the leather bar joke never getting paid off feels like being edged and then getting it ruined

Fellow michigander here (East Lansing) I've had people try to witness me, but it's always girls who look 15 in their 20s (I turn 33 this year), so I just try to run to avoid looking like a chomo. Wouldn't want to let down Chris Hansen, an MSU alumni, would I?

Great question! I find it helpful to remember the old rhyme: Beyebaal before Kirkr, you're bound to jerk 'er. Kirkr before Beyebaal, we'll sue you for libel.

A.J. I have a question. What happens to me if I sign up for Kirkr and purchase the Beyebaal simultaneously? And supposing I already did is there a number I can call?

A.J.'s name is Anthony James, not Anthony Jr., alas. But he appreciate having another A.J. in media other than the Sandshrew Pokemon trainer from episode 8 of the anime.

It took me till now to realize AJ and his dad have exactly the same naming convention as Tony Soprano and his son, proving that all Italians are the same.

Also the Orson Scott Card aside has caused me to remember that he wrote his own (colossally unhinged) version of Hamlet, though it doesn’t seem like anyone has adapted it so it might be off limits to two members of the pod.

I hope you’re going to do the actual Left Behind video game at some point. Also, I’ve been biting my tongue every time you talk about it, but since this time it’s an episode that actually just came out: David Cage is French, not Canadian. Hence why all the interior details in his games look European
