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. The hosts offer their sharp and insightful analysis of how faith, politics, and media collide in this shocking campaign development.Whether you’re here for the laughs, the outrage, or the deep dives into theology and culture, this episode has it all.

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.
