A new TV show looks for "the meaning of life" in the scientific narrative, and Stephen Colbert points out the lunacy of their pursuit. Also, Phil and Skye dive into all the listener feedback from last week's podcast fun about gender, then even more fun with their ongoing discussion about the definition of the Gospel and the difficulty of sharing the Good News in an increasingly post-Christian West. Whee!!

0:00.0 | Hey there, it's Phil. Welcome back to the show. I'm here with Christian Taylor. Oh, no, Christian and Skyjutani. Hi Phil. Hi. We don't have a Christian Taylor. She's on, she on vacation, she's on something. Anyway, she's sick of us. She might be gone for like three weeks. So we're going to have some guests on to fill her shoes. But anyway, I had the request for theme song. I had a request for theme song. I had a request for theme song. I had a request for theme song. I had a request for theme song. I had a request for theme song. I had a request for theme song. |
0:30.0 | I had a request for frankencelery from the details show one who was actually that I ended up reusing that voice for Jimmy Gord. So it's basically the same as Jimmy Gord. Except he was maybe a little more meek, because actually I'm Phil Winklestein and I'm an actor from Toledo. Where did that name Phil Winklestein come from? You asked. Well, there was a deli in Chicago called Winklestein's deli. That's where that name came from. Phil, well, that would be me Toledo. That's where my ancestors settled when they immigrated from Germany. |
1:00.0 | Winklestein from Toledo. Don't you find that interesting? Almost. No, I didn't. Yeah. Okay. Sorry. Well, so he would sing it like Jimmy, but a little more tentatively. I think. Hey, it's a podcast. What do you know? Hey, it's a podcast. But there's some video. So we got that going for us. Hey, it's a podcast. So lend an ear to Phil. There's your podcast starts right here. We'll talk to Sky. But but but not Christian. I'm a |
1:30.0 | Christian. Christian. I'm afraid because she's not here. I don't know where in the world. She is. You know, you don't know where Christian is this week? It was she was heading. I forget. Hey, it's a podcast. Go into here. Theville Bishop podcast starts right here. Theville Bishop podcast starts right here. Wow. Right. No, I couldn't find the right. No, just try them all. The frets on a ukulele when they're up high. I don't know. |
2:00.0 | They're so tiny. You need tiny little fingers. Need like little pigeon fingers. They've seen a pigeon's fingers. They're tiny. They don't have fingers. They have tiny little fingers. They don't have any fingers. They have talons. They have talent. They have talent. When they use their fingers to play ukulele, it's great talent. You are right. All right. Here's what we got a lot of we actually got a lot of commentary about the last week's podcast. Can't imagine why? Didn't we, Sky? When you begin with parents, you might want to screen this for your children. |
2:30.0 | It's about human sexuality. Yeah. Oh, you think that's the only reason. Okay. Here's some of the feedback we got. David said, I got to feel a little sorry for Sky after not so patiently waiting until more than halfway through the podcast to speak. He was continuously interrupted by both Phil and Christian shirts. Part of the dynamic of your show. But come on. Maybe just 1% more respect for people who are speaking Sky. Seriously. And how did you respond to that one, Phil? I apologize. Sky didn't apologize. |
3:00.0 | I said, yeah, you're probably right. Sky's tough, though. He can take it. And you'd never do this to another guest. Not another guest. You're not a guest. I wouldn't do it to a guest. Yeah. Yeah. All right. That's what I said. And then what did he say back or someone else said below that? I don't have it up right now, but it was funny. |
3:21.0 | Christian said, yeah, agreed. I'll work on that. He was. She was. I don't. Well, she's easily convicted of sin. She has a low sin threshold. And you say that is if it's a bad thing, my child, your heart is more stone cold. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's great. Yeah. Thanks. But the next guy said, because this was funny. Then, um, oh, why is it then Brett said, in light of Phil's comment, may I suggest that we change the phrase from water. |
3:50.9 | We're off a ducks back to water off skies, shaved head. It does flow pretty quickly. And in honor of that comment, there is. Yeah. There's the Phil visher podcast suction cup on the scalp. It looks good in the light. It's translucent. It's well lit. Uh, but then Anthony Thompson said, this is probably my favorite podcast so far, especially how you interrupted sky so much. He didn't actually say that. I'm adding that. And then Katie said, uh, there was so much unpacking |
4:20.9 | this week's podcast. I'm going to have to listen to it again. But I think it's probably my favorite one so far. Well, that's two people. And then Julie Vaugh said, I enjoyed the discussion of Western civilization on the status of women. There's a lot more to discuss here because the idea of being humble and showing mercy was not appreciated in Roman culture and is increasingly ridiculed today. Um, and then Heidi said, great podcast. I was listening while driving. I now have to watch the video because I need to see sky nearly exploding wanting to interject during Phil's diatribe about women in the Christian culture. |
4:50.9 | I had a good laugh, but there was also a lot of good points to chew on. Virginia said, this has got to be my favorite podcast so far. Three, that's three, three and two of them are women. I know Carlos said one of the best podcasts so far. One of one of the best podcasts. One of, but then he said, I can see the point Phil is making as far as the Middle East. Now, how does that apply to Japan or China? Okay. That's interesting. Should we draw some more broad stereotype? |
5:20.9 | Why not, Phil? As long as you're the going to be the one monologuing and I can just listen because I don't want to dig any holes. My point was specifically about Western culture and the role of Christianity in shaping views toward women in Western culture in China. You can see a different view of women in terms of selective abortion and the fact that there's more men than women by an unfortunate ratio. |
5:49.9 | So that isn't necessarily about violence towards women, but there is a weighing of the value of a baby girl and a value of a baby boy that probably shifted somewhat later in Christianity. And the same thing was true in ancient Rome, where what shifted later in Christianity with that mean? |
6:10.9 | In ancient Rome, you had a girl. You didn't want a girl. You put her on the dump heap. Christians picked the baby girls off the dump heap. And that's the whole argument that Christianity really thrived in the early centuries because of women and slaves who were outcast in society were honored and valued in the church. |
6:27.9 | So of course, China was never part of the Roman Empire. So that thinking didn't spread. Sure. |
6:33.9 | Brought over generalization. Japan, the view of women, I mean, we're just talking about birth rates and some of that funky stuff. |
6:42.9 | Wait a minute. We need to back up a second. |
6:44.9 | I was done. I was done with China. |
6:46.9 | Now see, without Christian here, there's no one to be the barrier between me interrupting you. |
6:51.9 | No, but one thing we need to make and not to justify the gender select abortions and all those terrible things that happen in some places in the East, |
6:59.9 | but you got to understand why there's a preference for boys. Why sky white? |
7:04.9 | It's not just that they think women or girls are bad because there's hairier. No, it goes back to economics. |
