Show Notes

00:00 - Introduction

To launch the recording of the last live episode before Jason starts a new year of teaching, the boys ham it up.

1:23 - The Attempted Assassination and Political Violence

In light of the shooting at a Trump rally that nearly killed President Trump, Jason and Tim discuss how we need to return to a more Christian approach to politics. How can we show God’s love in the way we interact in the political sphere?

15:01 - What Happened to the English Language?

We keep twisting our language in weird contortions that serve no one. One way this has happened in recent years is how we refer to presidents after they have left office and that’s where the Zippy Crew jumps into the discussion.
