Summary
Dear Humans,
Jesus and I sit down with the man who once said, “The question isn’t ‘Is there a God?’ The question is ‘Why do people believe in God?’”
That’s right. Penn Jillette is on the God Pod!
Not to oversell it, but it might just be the greatest thing you’ll ever witness in your entire life. Seriously. If you’ve ever wanted to watch Penn Jillette mock God to his face…this is your moment.
Here’s what we got into:
-
Faith and doubt — Penn shares his real thoughts on religion, atheism, and why he respects believers who actually walk the walk.
-
Do Penn and Teller hang out offstage? — You’ll find out. Their dynamic is fascinating and refreshingly un-Hollywood.
-
How they made it big — The unlikely road from street performances to a long-running Vegas residency. They still can’t believe it.
-
Bob Dylan deep cuts — We asked for one favorite. He gave us a whole playlist. It’s delightful.
-
If Bullshit! came back — What would Penn call out now? From conspiracy grifters to political hypocrisy, he’s still on fire.
-
His new novel, Felony Juggler — Coming May 6. Pre-order it now!
I hope you enjoy watching this episode as much as we did recording it. Thanks, humans!
Love,
God
