Summary

“Double-Crossing Mud-Muncher”“Warthog-Faced Buffoon”“Cotton-Headed Ninny Muggins”Mortification of Spin is no stranger to insults. The crew share some of the best (and worst) insults received. Across the board, the quality of insults has sharply declined since Martin Luther. Social media is much to blame.But we want to encourage you to keep trying! Do you know what it takes to write a good insult? Do you possess the necessary tools?Now serious though, the Internet has enabled us to type things that we’d never have the courage to say face-to-face. Should we then avoid online disagreements? What about name-calling? Tune in to find out how Aimee became the head of the FOM, about Todd’s elitism, and the way of dying that Carl fears the most.We have a several copies of "Housewife Theologian - How the Gospel Interrupts the Ordinary" by Aimee Byrd of P&R that we are giving away.

0:00.0	Welcome to Mortification of Spin, a casual conversation about things that count.
0:21.7	With Carl Truman, Todd Pruitt, and Amy Bird, Mortification of Spin is a weekly podcast from the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals.
0:30.6	Let's join this week's conversation. Well, thanks for listening in to Mortification of Spin today.
0:47.5	My name is Todd Pruitt, and I'm joined as always with Amy Bird and Carl Truman.
0:53.0	Now, Amy and Carl are well experienced in receiving lots of insults.
0:58.4	They are routinely insulted, criticized, and I think probably rightly so in most cases.
1:04.5	I've joined in on some of the criticism against my two co-hosts and have often wondered what the mortification of spin could be if it were
1:11.8	simply a vehicle for me. However, as odd as it sounds, I've actually been insulted from time to time
1:19.4	as well, and I know that sounds crazy. I know you're wondering how in the world could anybody
1:24.4	think of anything negative to say about Todd, but it is true it has

1:29.0	But I would like to spend some time talking about some of the better insults that have been

1:40.6	How about this one?
1:41.3	This one we just saw the other day, Quote, and this is, I guess,
1:45.5	I'm assuming it's mainly to Carl and Amy, not to me, but it says, your arrogance and elitism on
1:51.3	this podcast was palpable. Now, that's a good line. Errogance and elitism. I mean, when I think
1:57.9	about that, I mean, I think about you too. This was in reaction against our podcast on politics from a couple weeks ago,
2:05.8	where we expressed some concerns about the evangelical fight for Roy Moore,
2:11.4	and we expressed some dissent on that.
2:13.3	And I knew we'd get some criticism, but arrogant and elitism was one of those.
