Welcome to “The Breakdown” where we plumb the depths of the Internets most fascinating accounts of this world in which we live, scoop up the weirdest headlines, and serve them up with a side of sarcasm, humor, and a sprinkle of absurdity.🎙️ Hosts:Aaron Barker, The Evangelical Infidel - @breakdradioMiss Information, Erica Sauer: @nolefan01The Breakdown: Midget Wrestling, Free Speech Fights, and the Mystery of Missing WordsWelcome to another wild ride with The Breakdown—where we ask the questions that get you kicked out of Bible study and sent to therapy! Host Aaron Barker, broadcasting from deep behind enemy lines, is joined by the one and only misinformation queen herself, Erica Sauer. Together, they tackle everything from midget wrestling to digital censorship, with a healthy dose of humor and conspiracy-fueled banter. Buckle up, folks—this one’s a doozy.YouTube’s Got Beef with AaronRight out of the gate, Aaron shares the latest in his ongoing battle with YouTube, who decided that his Conspiracy 101post was just too much for their delicate sensibilities. After attempting to upload content about The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, he found himself smacked with a community strike and promptly booted from the platform. The real kicker? YouTube doesn’t even make it easy to find out why you got flagged! Welcome to the age of algorithmic overlords, folks.Erica and Aaron discuss whether these bans are driven by AI keyword detection or if there’s some shadowy hand clicking the report button. Either way, Aaron is now officially a Rumble refugee, and we’re here for the rebellion.The Greatest Show on Earth: Midget WrestlingErica takes center stage with a tale so bizarre, so glorious, it must be heard to be believed—her front-row experience at a midget wrestling match. That’s right, folks. We’re talking full-on, top-rope action, smack talk with the crowd, and a wrestler named Mario (yes, dressed like that Mario) winning the Micro Wrestling Federation championship.Turns out, these pint-sized powerhouses are serious athletes, and the crowd eats it up. Erica even got called a grandma by one of the wrestlers—truly, a night to remember. Who knew Alabama was the place for micro-aggression (the wrestling kind, of course)?Dave Portnoy’s Pizza MiracleThe episode takes an unexpected turn into feel-good territory when Aaron shares the incredible story of Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy casually handing over $60,000 to a struggling pizza shop. After stopping by for one of his famous reviews, Portnoy learned the shop was set to close by Christmas and, without hesitation, funded their entire year of operations.The debate? Aaron thinks the owner lowballed his request—why not shoot for at least $150K if a rich guy’s offering? Erica argues that honesty is key and that the owner was just being straightforward. Listeners, weigh in: is it greedy or just smart negotiation?We’re Talking Less… A Lot LessDid you know people are speaking 3,000 fewer words per day than they were 20 years ago? A new study suggests that digital communication has drastically reduced verbal interaction, and Aaron and Erica break down what this means for society.Is texting the reason? Are we just tired of small talk? And—more importantly—how is Aaron supposed to function when his natural state is rambling conspiratorial thought machine? One thing’s for sure: if this trend continues, future generations might only communicate in emojis and grunts.Women Talk More Than Men… DuhThe study also confirmed what most of us suspected—women talk more than men. On average, women say 1,073 more words per day than their male counterparts, especially in their prime adult years. Erica, of course, has an explanation: women have to do everything! From scheduling doctor’s appointments to handling customer service calls, it’s all on them.Aaron, in response, tries to flex on behalf of men by pointing out that his body currently contains 300 million potential lives. Erica shuts him down immediately. Nice try, buddy.How Do You Think? Words or Pictures?The conversation takes a philosophical turn as Aaron and Erica discuss how people think. Do you have a voice in your head narrating your every thought? Or do you visualize concepts in pictures? Turns out, some people don’t even have an internal monologue—an idea that completely blows Aaron’s mind.Erica’s brain works like a movie projector, full of scenes and characters. Aaron, meanwhile, admits he talks to himself both internally and externally, often getting caught having full-blown debates with himself. If you ever see him arguing alone in a room… just let it happen.And that’s a wrap! Until next time, keep asking the dangerous questions.

Welcome to “The Breakdown” where we plumb the depths of the Internets most fascinating accounts of this world in which we live, scoop up the weirdest headlines, and serve them up with a side of sarcasm, humor, and a sprinkle of absurdity.🎙️ Hosts:Aaron Barker, The Evangelical InfidelMiss Information, Erica Sauer.Welcome to the MadnessWelcome back to The Breakdown, the podcast that asks the questions that get you kicked out of Bible study and sent to therapy. Host Aaron Barker is broadcasting from an undisclosed location (because we like to keep things dramatic), and as always, the ever-entertaining Erica is here to keep things on track... or at least attempt to.In this episode, we cover everything from fluoride in the water to government mind control, Trump’s surprising executive order, and the ongoing assault on free speech. It’s a mix of deep dives, wild theories, and the occasional sidetrack (thanks, ADHD). Buckle up—it’s going to be a wild ride!Fluoride, Filters, and Why We’re All ParanoidLet’s talk about tap water. You drink it? Gross. According to Aaron and Erica, anyone still drinking unfiltered tap water is basically playing Russian roulette with their health.Kentucky is making moves to give municipalities the right to remove fluoride from their water, a law that shouldn't even be necessary in the first place. Did you know local governments get paid to put fluoride in the water? Yeah, that’s a thing. And guess what? If you don’t want it in your water, too bad—until now, they legally couldn't remove it even if they wanted to.Erica questions whether anyone even drinks tap water anymore. Florida water smells like sulfur, Indiana water is so hard it could double as a weapon, and who knows what’s happening in other states? Meanwhile, Aaron reminisces about working at a “Christian” ministry where the water was so chemically treated it might as well have been pool water.Bottom line? If you’re not filtering your water, you’re probably drinking more government-approved chemicals than you realize. Cheers!ADHD or Just Too Many Conspiracies?Aaron might have ADHD—or maybe it’s just the sheer amount of insanity happening in the world. One minute, he’s talking about fluoride; the next, he’s diving into chemtrails, geoengineering, and how the internet has turned everyone into an investigative journalist (or at least someone who thinks they are).Twitter (excuse us, X) has become a cesspool of breaking news, half-baked theories, and pure information overload. Open the app, and within five minutes, you’ve gone from reading about the Kentucky fluoride bill to a conspiracy about mind control through television flicker rates. It’s a lot.The takeaway? Sometimes, stepping away from the news cycle is necessary. Otherwise, you might end up drinking three different caffeinated beverages at once and wondering why your brain is going a thousand miles per hour. (Looking at you, Aaron.)Mass Shootings, Mind Control & The Real-Life 21 Jump StreetNow, here’s where things take a turn. Erica floats a theory that there are government operatives placed in every high school in America, helping identify “troubled” individuals for nefarious purposes. Think 21 Jump Street, but instead of busting drug dealers, they’re scouting for future mass shooters.Crazy? Maybe. But when you look at the patterns, the common threads in these tragic events, and the fact that we know intelligence agencies love a good psychological experiment (cough MKUltra cough), it doesn’t seem that far-fetched.Aaron recalls the movie Higher Learning and how it perfectly illustrates how easy it is to radicalize someone when they’re isolated, frustrated, and looking for answers. Now imagine if that was intentional. Yikes.And here’s the kicker: the government has a history of manufacturing crises to push an agenda. Whether it’s the war on terror, mass shootings, or even public health policies, the pattern is the same—problem, reaction, solution. The more chaos, the more justification for control.The Breakdown is a reader-supported publication.

One of his first executive orders? Freeing the January 6th prisoners. And not only that—he actually called them hostages.That’s a huge shift in narrative. The mainstream media wants everyone to believe these people are dangerous insurrectionists, but Trump just declared them victims of political persecution. This move has the left in an absolute meltdown, and honestly? We’re here for it.Not everyone has walked free yet, but the dominoes are falling. Now, the real question is—will Trump go after the people who set them up? Looking at you, Ray Epps and Michael Byrd.Censorship is Real: Why Rumble (and Free Speech) Needs Your HelpBig Tech hates you. They hate free speech. They hate open discussions. That’s why platforms like Rumble are so important right now. Unlike YouTube, which bends over backward to silence anything remotely controversial, Rumble is holding the line.But here’s the catch: Rumble needs support to survive. The corporate media, governments, and advertisers are all trying to starve them out. If you believe in free speech, now’s the time to back them. They’re even offering $10 off an annual subscription with the promo code STUDIO.Aaron rants (rightfully so) about how companies like YouTube will gladly push mainstream propaganda but will instantly demonetize independent creators who question the official narrative. If you’re sick of being force-fed establishment talking points, Rumble is the place to be.Final Thoughts: Freedom Wins and LossesThis week has been a mixed bag for freedom. On one hand, Trump is actually delivering on promises (at least in some areas), and people are waking up to government overreach in things like fluoride, censorship, and surveillance. On the other hand, the battle is far from over.Aaron and Erica wrap up the episode with some key takeaways:✔️ Stop drinking unfiltered tap water. Seriously.✔️ The government is really, really good at manipulating people.✔️ Free speech is under attack, and we need to support platforms like Rumble.✔️ The war for truth isn’t going anywhere—but neither are we.Thanks for reading The Breakdown!

🎙 Welcome to The Breakdown! 🎙Hold onto your tinfoil hats because this episode is a wild ride! Join Aaron Barker and Erica Sauer as they dive into the hottest topics—literally and figuratively. From the chaos of California fires and conspiracy-laden theories (hello, 15-minute cities!) to the latest world records set by inflatable dinosaurs, this show has it all.🎙️ Hosts:Aaron BarkerMiss Information, Erica Sauer.The Breakdown: Exploring Fires, Dinosaurs, and ConspiraciesWelcome to another riveting midweek episode of The Breakdown, hosted by Aaron Barker and co-host Erica Sauer. Broadcasting from an undisclosed location deep behind enemy lines, this episode delivers the kind of thought-provoking discussions that might just get you kicked out of Bible study or sent to therapy. Packed with humor, conspiracy theories, and some downright jaw-dropping moments, this episode is one for the books. Here’s a breakdown of what went down.Technical Troubles and Classic Radio VibesThe episode kicks off with a bit of chaos as Aaron and Erica navigate some tech issues. From livestream hiccups to internet woes, they prove that even the best broadcasters aren’t immune to the occasional digital gremlin. Erica’s phone setup becomes an impromptu broadcast tool, adding a nostalgic, old-school radio vibe to the show. This unintentional throwback inspires Aaron to discuss his long-time dream of hosting an overnight paranormal radio show. No cameras, just voices in the dark—classic radio style.Dinosaur Mania: A Jurassic World RecordWhat’s a midweek breakdown without some bizarre news? Aaron and Erica dive into a quirky world record set in Florida, where 468 people gathered dressed as dinosaurs, smashing the previous record. These weren’t just any costumes—they were the hilarious inflatable dino suits often seen bouncing around during Halloween. The hosts’ banter about dressing up as the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man takes the absurdity to the next level, sparking ideas for their own potential world record attempts.The California Wildfires: Conspiracies and DevastationShifting gears to a heavier topic, the discussion turns to the devastating wildfires in California. Aaron shares his personal experience of losing his home to a fire, adding a deeply human perspective to the tragedy. Erica and Aaron dissect the layers of conspiracy surrounding these fires, from accusations of direct energy weapons to climate change narratives. They also touch on the role of insurance companies, with many policies canceled just before the fires, leaving families devastated and unsupported.Erica highlights State Farm’s recent mass cancellation of policies in California due to regulatory pressures, noting the disproportionate impact on vulnerable homeowners. The hosts explore how these decisions, coupled with governmental land use policies, seem to align with larger agendas like 15-minute cities and climate-driven urban planning. For Aaron, the alignment of these factors feels too coincidental to ignore.15-Minute Cities and the Bigger PictureThe concept of 15-minute cities—urban areas designed so residents can meet all their needs within a 15-minute walk—sparks a fiery debate. Aaron views these as tools for control, isolating people into tightly managed bubbles where movement and association are restricted. Erica ties this to the upcoming 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, suggesting that the fires might pave the way for such urban restructuring.The conversation delves into how historical events like the building of the U.S. highway system facilitated national connectivity, only to see modern policies reverse that trend. The hosts draw comparisons to dystopian narratives like The Hunger Games, where people are segmented and controlled. The idea of consolidating populations while restricting freedoms raises alarms for both Aaron and Erica.A Heartbreaking Human ImpactAaron’s recounting of families returning to their burned homes is nothing short of heart-wrenching. He shares a video of a family’s first visit to their destroyed home, highlighting the emotional toll. For Aaron, the devastation is a stark reminder of how systemic failures—from inadequate insurance to government overreach—compound personal tragedies. Erica echoes his frustration, pointing out how policies and conspiracies leave regular people to bear the brunt of these disasters.Biden’s “Circle of Life” MomentIn one of the episode’s lighter, albeit baffling, moments, the hosts react to President Joe Biden announcing he’s a great-grandfather during a press conference about the California fires. While Erica attempts to put a positive spin on the bizarre timing, Aaron struggles to see it as anything other than tone-deaf. The comedic back-and-forth showcases the hosts’ chemistry, even when tackling serious issues.The Breakdown’s Signature StyleTrue to form, The Breakdown balances humor with hard-hitting commentary. Whether discussing the absurdity of inflatable dinosaur costumes or the grim realities of wildfires and conspiracies, Aaron and Erica navigate the spectrum of human experience with wit and insight. Their willingness to tackle controversial topics head-on makes the show a unique blend of entertainment and enlightenment.Concluding Thoughts and Looking AheadAs the episode wraps up, Aaron teases his plans for a new paranormal radio show and encourages listeners to support the program by visiting the Breakdown Outfitters shop. Erica’s contributions—from legal insights to witty commentary—round out the episode, ensuring there’s never a dull moment.This midweek installment of The Breakdown is a testament to the power of good conversation, even when the topics are as diverse as dinosaur costumes, California wildfires, and conspiracy theories. It’s a reminder that sometimes the best way to process a crazy world is through humor, curiosity, and a healthy dose of skepticism.

So, we’ll do that for the sake of time and space.Bryan “The Bearded Pastor” Jackson has decided to step down from The Breakdown to fulfill some other ministry obligations and continue his education towards his ministry. Although we all support his desire to do this and further his mission, it is also a difficult time in the history of the show, as Bryan has been there since I’ve started my journey in radio. At some point we’ll put together a timeline for all the events leading to where The Breakdown is currently, but that’s for another time.Here are a few words I’d like to share about Bryan and what he has meant to the show, our listeners, and me.In Appreciation for Bishop Bryan Jackson: A Co-Host, A Brother, A BlessingToday, I find myself filled with gratitude and a touch of sadness as I write this tribute to my lifelong friend, co-host, and spiritual powerhouse, Bishop Bryan Jackson.

🎙️ Hosts:Aaron BarkerBryan “Bearded Pastor” JacksonMiss Information, Erica Sauer.Lip Syncing Legends & the Dangers of Bad Theology: Frankie Valli, Prosperity Preachers, and False TeachingsIn this packed episode of The Breakdown, we tackle two fascinating yet controversial topics. First, we explore the debate surrounding live performances and lip-syncing, sparked by Frankie Valli’s recent appearances at 90 years old. Is the music legend being exploited, or is he simply continuing to do what he loves? We dive into concerns about elder abuse and the ethics of pushing artists to perform past their prime, along with a look at infamous lip-syncing moments—from Whitney Houston’s Star-Spangled Banner to Mariah Carey’s holiday mishaps.The Breakdown is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Bad TheologyBut that’s not all. We also turn our focus to the prosperity gospel and its most infamous proponents, like Jesse Duplantis and Kenneth Copeland, who preach that giving money to their ministries will lead to material blessings—or even speed up the return of Jesus. We unpack the false teachings that twist Scripture to exploit the vulnerable, funding lavish lifestyles while leaving followers spiritually and financially drained. How do these teachings affect people’s faith, and why are they so dangerous to the church at large?Join us for a spirited discussion filled with humor, hard truths, and a healthy dose of skepticism. Whether we’re dissecting the ethics of lip-syncing or exposing bad theology, this episode is a wild ride you won’t want to miss.

Buckle up for two hours of eye-opening discussions, peppered with the humor and sharp wit you’ve come to expect from your favorite podcast hosts, The Evangelical Infidel Aaron Barker, the Bearded Pastor Bryan Jackson, and Miss Information Erica Sauer.Hour 1 kicks off with the question on everyone’s mind: Has Star Wars gone woke? That’s right, there’s talk of a transgender Stormtrooper marching through the galaxy, and the crew takes no prisoners as they tear into what’s happening with the franchise and explore the deeper question: Why go woke? From there, they journey to the world of presentism—the idea that we judge historical figures by today’s standards—and how it’s not just hitting Star Wars, but classic sitcoms like Friends! You won’t want to miss the first break, where they tackle the burning question of whether we’ve hit peak inclusion, and what modernity and presentism are doing to our entertainment.Hour 2 cranks things up with some hilarious hating on the Bearded Pastor himself! Then, it’s time to get real as they discuss “body parts everywhere”—no, not the stuff of horror films, but how the fragments of our fractured culture are starting to pile up. The team dives into some bad theology, like weather modification, the questionable teachings of so-called “prophetess” Kat Kerr, and the rise of bizarre beliefs that might just make your head spin.After the third break, it’s “Death by 1000 Emails” as the crew gets into the trenches of digital life. Plus, you’ll hear about Gloria Copeland’s claim that “you are supposed to control the weather”, along with a deep dive into how wokism has allegedly infiltrated FEMA. To top it all off, the discussion veers into the world of anthropomorphic climate change—and let’s just say, it’s going to get spicy!In the Breakdown OverDrive, things get political when they tackle Billy Graham’s appearance in an anti-Trump ad.

First, we explore a bizarre tale where summer fruit meets suspicious behavior—is it just a watermelon, or something more sinister? Then, we try to make sense of the latest word salad from Vice President Kamala Harris, where words don’t just flow—they tumble, twist, and tie themselves in knots. After the break, we jump into the strange case of “Tampon Timmy” and question where parental responsibility truly lies in the digital age. Erica takes on a small town’s overreach in “Tiny Town Tyranny,” exposing what happens when local government tries to play big brother. We also dig into the latest controversy about decisions made behind closed doors and the implications of increasing government surveillance on our privacy.Thanks for reading The Breakdown!

Picture it: dispensaries with names like “Highway to Health” and “Joint Ventures.” The real question is, will they offer a loyalty program with frequent “high” miles? 🌿🌟⚖️ Bad Theology: Does God Hate Sinners?Facebook theologians are at it again, debating whether God harbors a grudge against sinners.

Next up: algebra textbooks replaced with stone tablets.

The Breakdown: Unfiltered Radio with Aaron Barker, Bearded Pastor, and Miss Information Erica Sauer🎙️ Hosts: Aaron Barker & Bryan “The Bearded Pastor” 🧔Description:Welcome to “The Breakdown,” the radio show that’s like a wild ride through a wormhole of curiosity, conspiracy, pop culture, theology and cosmic questions. Hosted by Aaron Barker and the enigmatic Bryan (who sports a beard that could double as a map of Middle Earth), this show is your weekly escape from the mundane. And guess what? Erica is off this week, probably chasing UFOs or deciphering ancient texts. We miss her, but hey, the show must go on!🔍 What’s on the Menu:* Debates & Dilemmas: Aaron dissects the recent debates with surgical precision. He’s like a philosophical ninja, slicing through talking points faster than you can say “policy wonk.” Bryan nods sagely, occasionally stroking his beard as if channeling Socrates.* Raw Dogging on Airplanes: Yes, you read that right. Apparently, some dudes are doing it. But fear not, Aaron and Bryan are here to unravel this mystery. Is it a new extreme sport? A secret code for time travelers? Tune in to find out!* Rosary 101 - A Protestant’s Tale: What is contemplative prayer, and how do our Catholic brothers and sisters do it? Listen to the best source of Catholic dogma - a Libertarian Protestant* Kanye West: A tale of architectural hubris, concrete excess, and a price tag that moonwalked off a cliff. Picture this: Yeezy, in his infinite wisdom, buys a $53 million beachfront fortress and devalues it by a mere $14 million. * Bad Theology Bingo: Aaron and Bryan play a game where they spot theological blunders faster than a caffeine-fueled squirrel. Take a shot every time someone misquotes the Apostle Paul. Spoiler alert: You’ll be tipsy by minute five.* Parishes, Pastors, and Porn: Add that to the “Words Which Should Never Be Said Together” trash heap of broadcasting. Brace yourselves for the third segment as Aaron and Bryan delve into the scandalous world of pastors, porn, and hedonistic pleasure—yes, really. The guys cap things off with a pastor who has an open relationship and whose wife became a porn star after they were married, followed by coverage of the Robert Morris scandal and a much-needed recap from last week.📻 Why Listen?* Aaron’s Voice: It’s like honey drizzled over gravel. Smooth yet rugged. You’ll want him to narrate your life events: “And here she is, making coffee for the 1,000th time. The aroma fills the room, like hope on a rainy day.”* Bryan’s Beard: It’s not just facial hair; it’s a portal to other dimensions. Rumor has it Bryan once found Narnia in there.
