On this episode, the guys take up a topic submitted by a listener. However, before they do, the listener asks Kyle a question regarding BeReal.

Though down a professor, the parishioner and pastor bring on another one far more renowned.

The old joke goes that many church folks have roast preacher for Sunday dinner, as they go home after the service and criticize the sermon.
