Summary

Danny McBride, Adam Devine, Edi Patterson, John Goodman, and a guy playing a keytar. The Righteous Gemstones is heaven. This week we discuss the HBO show and how familiar Bonnie and Karen are with the Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker-type family that drives two-hundred thousand dollar SUVs, has a shooting range on their compound, and a Christian project named Keefe living with them. There are celibacy promises! Bible heroes wax museum. Chicken references. Mullets. Pants with pleats. Tee shirts with youth group graphics. Youth group!! Youth group meeting as a cover. I wonder if any of our friends ever did that? (Yes, they did.) “These feats of strength are all to glorify God.” Adam Devine's youth minister character is typical of what we see in the south. Is he gay or just trying to be hip? Does he look like Hermy the elf or Jimmy Neutron? Bonnie talks about how Adam Devine received the late-season add-in blessing from Modern Family like other stars have experienced. And damn if Edi Patterson's role as the daughter Judy isn't painfully accurate. She never gets to do anything in the patriarchal church family. Watch it with us and tag us with your insights. We love this show. Announcement: We have a SHOP. Please check it out and give us some support. Thanks!

1:23.3	And it's, I think they just want to add that in because Baha'i's like a mix of a bunch of stuff, I think.
