Losers Agree to Disagree
Losers Agree to Disagree: I posted this sentiment a couple of days ago and it was misunderstood by enough people that I felt like I should take a crack at clarifying it.
Belonging Comes Last, Not First
Some of the most awful ideas sound great at first. The idea that everyone “belongs” in church is especially terrible because it is accepted without question. Christians quickly affirm that no matter what you’ve done, what you believe, or how you behave – you “belong” in the church. For a couple of decades, some people […]
Biology, Marriage, and Gender Matters
I had a great discussion with Katy Faust, founder of ThemBeforeUs.Com. (I botch the name of this organization at the beginning of the video.) It turns out, children do better in a stable home with a married mother and father. That shocking revelation is the foundation for our conversation. Katy describes herself as a reluctant […]
Frustrated With Husbands And Matrilineal Culture
PLATYPUS! – Hey Pkarlgh, this episode picks up in the aftermath of a gripe session the girls had about their husbands. I admirably defend the husbands. The Peaches introduced me to a new term, “matrilineal” which she thinks is helpful for several reasons. In between outbursts of show tunes from Silas and Marci, we talk […]

Ellen DeGeneres and The False Church of Kindness
The unpleasant result of prioritizing truth over popularity is that I am frequently forced to defend people with whom I disagree. Case in point, Ellen DeGeneres. I’d love to grab a bucket of popcorn and watch her empire burn to ashes. But what I want to do and what I should do are rarely synchronized. […]
Democrats Declare Death Unacceptable.
No matter which side of the political aisle you occupy, we can all agree that Republicans suck. I mean, the GOP is open about their hatred for things that decent people value. They hate flowers, sunsets, puppies, and kindness. At the same time, Republicans absolutely love death. It makes them happy when hundreds of thousands […]
A Good Episode to Start With
Pkarlgh recently suggested that we do an episode that will help new listeners understand what The Comedy Sojourn is all about. We start by answering the question, “Who is Pkarlgh?” The Peaches and I do our level best to introduce the characters, explain the theme and recap some of the topics that pop up repeatedly. […]

Would Michael Scott (from ‘The Office’) Get Fired?
Cancel culture is the opposite of comedy. On this episode of The Soapbox, I talk to Luke Hansen who suggested that Michael Scott wouldn’t be regarded as an incompetent, albeit likable, boss. He would be shamed, fired, and possibly imprisoned for his countless social sins. We talk about music, politics and how Luke survived drowning […]
