Description
Co-hosted by Shauncey Fury and Jason Leger; Two self-reformed evangelicals with oddly similar backstories full of disdain for the church, and its teachings. Both born to young unwed mothers, both raised by Grandparents extremely active in church, both got sent off to emotionally manipulative Christian summer camps a la “Jesus Camp,” Both wound up embedded in the suburbanite subculture of Christian Hardcore & Punk music which lead to an interest in tattooing which is how they came together as Artist & Client. Together they’ll use their gosh-given gifts of unique insights, trauma-formed wisdoms & dark humors to navigate the absurdities littered throughout the history of religion. To those of you who feel stuck in a broken, manipulative, physically & mentally abusive system, or anyone struggling to wrap their head around a life outside of the church; We are here to help you make sense of the nonsense. You can stop serving the systems that no longer serve you. You can still have a happy life after breaking up with The Big Myth. Listen, just because he isn’t up there, doesn’t mean you’re alone down here. We’re all in this together, and we’re all we’ve got. Won’t you join us, friend? No gods. No masters. No worries. Got questions that need answers?, Answers that need questions? Love letters? Hate mail? Good or bad advice? Hell, maybe you want to sponsor this blasphemous maximus? Please drop us an e-mail: HereticSocialClub@gmail.com Who knows? Maybe we’ll read your letter on the air? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Welcome back to Sunday school kids. Sister Wilburn is still out with the flu, so Brother Jason is gonna tell you little fuckers all about the legend of Job. Hope you've got your loins girded, because we're about to shiver your timbers, and test your faith. Say your prayers little Job, don't forget my son to include everyone, I'll bet your wife, and your life, that you won't turn and runnnnnn.. Sheep with one eye open, burning in fields at night! Won't You Join Us, Friend?
1In this episode, we'll explore the Great Mysteries surrounding the (love) life and (elderly) death of everyone's favorite Son of G.O.D., I'm taking about ol' J to the C. Yeah, you know He! What you might not know is that He was keepin' it on the down low, bein' bad at the pad, wearing nothing but linen, 'bout to do some sinnin'. "Jesus, where are you taking me?" Somewhere we don't need women. Won't you join us, friends?
Look, just because a bunch of dudes in chest armor and cheerleader skirts nailed you to a tree on Friday, doesn't mean you can't still get up with your boys on Sunday! Roll that boulder, and grab a rolling rock with your Peter, and start building that church on the rock! Speaking of rock, we're joined for this quiz show episode by Blake Jones who is a rocker through and through. Van Halen, not Van Hagar. You know what I'm saying? Let's get drunk on Cadbury, and Reese's Eggs.
In the Season 4 Premiere of Heretics' Social Club, we wish a Happy St. Patrick's Day to all who celebrate the colonial erasure of the indigenous Irish druids who once inhabited the Emerald Isle. Yet another "Hallmark Holiday" created by the folks who want Earth devoid of any cultural ceremony that doesn't celebrate the imaginary friendship between humanity and White Jesus. After that, someone pinch me, because either I'm dreaming, or we're finally gonna dip our toes into the technicolor dreampool. Don't be fooled by the coat that he's got, he's still, he's still Joey from the block aka rat snitch Joseph D with the fruity rainbow jacket? Yeah, fuuuuck that guy, and all eleven of his brothers too. Boooommm. Won't you join us, friends?
Hey, before we start this SEASON FINALE, let me ask you all a question.Y'all ever wish you were part of a gang of unruly youfs roaming the streets smoking lots of cigarettes while doing fun felonies like graffiti, and petty theft? Consider Enthusiastic Sobriety. It's a new super fun cool way to stay off drugs by engaging in various forms of drug related behavior, BUT WITHOUT DRUGS! Whaaaat? You mean I can act like a completely insane human being totally zonked off bing bongs as ling long as I don't get high-yai-yai-I-am-your-butterfly? I'm fucking in. Won't you join us, friend?
This week we investigate the final section of John's Gospel wherein the Christ is Crucified for OUR SINS! That's right, we did this, and it's all our fault. God knew that one day we'd all be little heathens, so he sent himself to die for us to protect us from himself! Now let's go masturbate in the shower with half a bottle of nice shampoo like we did when we were middle schoolers so that Jesus won't have died for no reason! Won't you join us, friends?
This week we start off the meal with a little bit of Four Loko lore, crack open some whippets, then we'll have to pry Jesus off the couch to go dig up ol' Lazarus who everyone though had wayyyyy too many drinks, but turned out to just be dead. Oopsie! (Quick parenthetical to say that it's good to put information that offers context but doesn't necessarily add to the story in a set of parenthesis to avoid confusion) Make sure to check back next episode when we try to figure out if Jesus was hung like a carpenter, or if he just had a splinter in his underwear. Won't you join us, friends?
Ope, that's my bad. I got Epstein island mixed up with Patmos. Anyway, we're back in the Gospel of John to make a few revelations about what Jesus was up to when he was out slinging red words for y'all to ignore. There's a bit where someone is trying to get stoned, but Jesus keeps drawing lines in the sand or something or another. I zone out a lot during the episodes if I'm being honest. I got that ADHD brain. Like that part in Airheads where the guy is just pretending to listen, and saying "Uh Huh" a lot. Airheads is streaming on Hulu by the way. What were we talking about again? I forgot. Won't you join us, friends?
Ho Ho Ho Heretics, Welcome back to the Club! Hope you're having a Social time with your religious family this Holiday season, and that they aren't driving you insane. If they are, take a second out of the chaos to pop in your new airbud pros, and give the ol' HSC a visit. We'll regale you with tales of failing health, while filling you in on the sketchy origins behind some of our most beloved Christmas songs. Pile in around the pagan tree, and join in a Yule celebration with your chosen family. Merry X-mas to all, and to all a good night! Won't you join us, friend?
You know The Baptist, The Evangel, The Apostle, The Revelator,Who wrote John 1, and John 2 and John 3 & Revelations?but do you recall...the most famous John book of all? Johnny the Gospelator,had some really whiny proseand if you ever read ityou would probably say it blows.All of the other gospels Told it in synoptic ways.They never let poor JesusGo into an Early Rage!
The Ghost of Thanksgiving Past, The Ghost of Thanksgiving Present, & The Ghost of Native American Remembrance Day Future Walk Into a Bar... Wait, that's not how it goes. I think the turkey, and the pilgrim were already in the bar??? Oh wait! Is this where the show Cheers comes from because it's in Massachusetts? I bet so. As it turns out, real-life American history is very similar to a situational-horror premise, or a sithor as they called it in the olden days, but it also sounds bit like a pejorative against standing sex fiends. What is this? Some sort of filler episode nonsense? Maybe. Keep your eyes on your own massacre, there Pilgrim. Won't you join us, Friend?
We're so fortunate to have everyone's favorite fortunate son back in the mix for our third look at the silliness encapsulated by the book of Luke. We've been chugging along through the gospels, and this book is done for....now. Who knows when we'll tip toe back into the book of Luke, but I do wish Luke would come talk with us more. We even talked about bringing back the Dotted Line from Podsacola. Would anyone be interested in hearing that movie mayhem again if we replaced Ryan Eaton with Lucas Fury? Might be fun. Who knows? Anyway, let's listen to the damn episode already. Won't you join us, friends?
Well Ghouls and Ghosts, It's our Halloween episode, which means that once again we have been revisited by the spirit of Halloween herself: OL' CHLOE FURY! That's right folks! Shauncey's wife is sitting in, so you know he'll be on his best behavior. The gang goes SCARE-o-ling, (That's when you go out with friends singing halloween songs on doorsteps for candy around the neighborhood. Please make that a thing.) Then Jason takes a moment to pause & reflect on a Shauncey harmonica solo so long that he almost started crying. It was a really emotional night. At the end, we swept the house for offensive materials, and warmed our hands beside a crackling fire made of stolen hotel Gideon bibles while we ate our candy. It was beautiful night at the Heretics Social Club. Won't you join us, friend?
If our last episode left you with a "feat." fetish, fear not! Mr. Lucas Fury is back to help us Sunday School up you heathens. Shauncey starts with a quick weekend confession booth, Jason jazzes up a few bible stories by peppering in some curse words, and there's even an old-school sing-a-long. We do our best to entertain, and delight while making a ridiculous unhinged mess because "THAT'S THE POWER TEAM BABY!" Buckle up for the second part in our (APPARENTLY) three part series with ol' S.L.U.T.S.O.! Also don't forget that for our next episode we'll be taking a break from Luke to hook back up with the Eerily Beautiful Chloe Fury to discuss the Satanic Panic on our Second Annual Halloween Episode! Won't you join us, friend?
We're chugging along in the gospels, so we brought along our friend St. Luke the Southern Oracle to regale us with a tale of how he came to be the one who got his name inside the big book! Speaking of chugging, he also brought along a few delicious Himosas (Recipe: One part Vodka, one part OJ, one part The Lord) and we all got sloshed in the spirit. That's the spirit! Won't you join us, friend?
Howdy Heretic! This week we're diving into Scrooge McDuck's vault of coins, and going swimming with prosperity preachers! We're talking yachts, private jets, limousines, champagne, caviar, and 40,000 sq ft homes, but not a lick of room for you! No, these blessings are reserved for the people who sit at the top of the pyramid. Let's talk about the men and women who claim to operate under the socialism of Jesus, but have instead converted their churches into ML M schemes where they benefit from the suffering of others! Yay! Poor people have the best money...to buy planes with! It's kinda like someone sneezing, and then you say "Bless you? haha No. Fuck that. Fuck you, bless me." Won't you join us, friends?
Welcome back to the second week of Mark. In this episode we talk about Jesus' bad habits like being all hush hush about PUBLIC miracles, and ghosting his family for strangers he just met. We'll also discuss Hip Hop in perhaps the most suburbanite way that hip hop has ever been discussed. At the end of the episode, in honor of Mark, we're stripping off our linens, and going streaking through the quad! Won't you join us, friend?
This week we're spreading the proverbial buttcheeks of the Gospel of Mark to see what goes on behind the scenes of writing a gospel. First of all it helps to have someone you can plagiarize like Oh I don't know, could it be... MATTHEW?!? We're on to you fellas, and your copy and paste scam. It's a good thing ChatGPT didn't exist in bible times, or they would've just had an AI write the whole damn thing. Hey! Maybe we should get Chatty to write us a new gospel, so we can see how close it gets to being accepted as being CANONICAL, doop doo da doo dah.
MMMMMM lawd, Jason done went & found some church related true crime, and we'll be damned if we're not gonna talk all about it. (Let's be honest, we'll be damned anyway.) In this episode we discuss Jeffrey Lundgren, at least that was the handle his loving parents gave him, this Jeffrey he preferred to use shit as lube. Dude! Speaking of terrible things, this episode comes with a TRIGGER WARNING for Sexual misconduct, murder, & acts of harm towards children. Please don't feel bad about skipping around the episode, or skipping all together if those discussions make you feel unsettled. As for the rest of you sickos, Won't you join us, friend?
Hey there you Horny Stud! Are you looking for a partner to rope you in, and corral your wildest desires? Well, saddle up, and steer yourself over here, because these boys love a good hump, they're raring to buck your brains out at a medium pace, and they won't stop until you've been well done! (Just gonna read this note Jason has passed me) and now I'd like to apologize if you're still reading this. I've just been informed that this SEASON FINALE episode has very little to do with bull sex, and a lot to do with some fairy tale making up some fairy tales in the middle of the fairy tale that make no sense. Jesus Christ... this is some bullshit. Well, not literally, except yes literally. Won't you join us, Amigo?

I'm just getting into this show, but so far it's quite promising! I find their generous application of industrial strength snark and irreverent sarcasms to be an absolute delight. I especially enjoy the fundamental lack of respect given to the subject matter. I find their small-batch, handcrafted, artisanal goofs to be abundant in number, prodigious in type, and pleasingly peppered amongst the programming. Despite my growing up in the church from a very young age, I can't say that I ever really felt like I truly belonged. I definitely wrestled with the whole mythos and especially the underlying source material of the bible. In fact, I often felt like the more I learned of Christianity, the less sense it made on the whole. Even the simple realization that the bible was overfull with contradictions and conflicting stories and lessons seemed pretty shocking to me as a young man... even more so when I brought those concerns to family members and they'd act like it wasn't a terribly signi
