You Can Say That Here - A Minister, a Catholic, and an Atheist Talk Religion & Current events

Colleen and Andy have a conversation with special guest Chris Klukas! Father Chris Klukas is an Anglican Priest with a keen interest in nurturing faith in the home and teaching other parents how to live out their faith with their children. 

Colleen and Andrew try to understand conspiracy theories and each other.  Why do they exist?  Who benefits and why are we so interested in learning about them?  Is our dynamic duo conspiring to misunderstand each other, obfuscate the point and avoid the topic of conspiracy theories all together?  Is Andrew a closet conspiracist? 

Why is the Netflix show, ‘Dahmer', the only thing people are talking about these days? Who were the serial killers that are loose right now? Why can't we turn our way? Are we watching a car crash, or is it our animalistic need to protect ourselves? We discuss famous serial-murdering necrophiliac cannibals... and a few others.

Three friends with different beliefs have weekly conversations about politics, current events, and religion, with the goal to stay friends at the end of each podcast. With Allie, Andy, and Colleen, You Can Say That Here!

Andy, Allison and Colleen are back from vacation with more conversations about politics, current events, and religion. In our newest episode, God smites the team for not paying enough attention to him. 

While Colleen is away, Allison and Andrew discuss brands of Atheism, divinely-inspired coffee, and puzzle out why someone had a very big problem with the Georgia Guidestones.   

We don't know much about astrology so Allie and Andy just cheat off Colleen's homework. Allie denies there is much smiting in the Bible.  Much more of the metaphorical vs. literal truths. 

Share in our inspirational conversation with the amazing Bobby Umar! Bobby is an internationally recognized author, motivational speaker, storyteller and living proof people can lead with their hearts and be successful in business!  We talk about cancel culture, empathy for opponents, hugs, parenthood and so much more!  @BobbyUmar  #CancelCulture #BobbyUmer  

Two non-experts talk, nothing is certain. Today's episode covers the latest SCOTUS rulings on Roe vs. Wade and gun control and the new gun laws passed by the senate.

There are just those movies that beg for this group to critique.  Today's episode digs into Matt Walsh's new movie, "What Is A Woman?"  The movie covers the challenging topics of sex changes, puberty blockers, and social conditioning (#Groomers).  Released the week that @ElonMusk's own daughter is stepping away from her own family because of Musk's disdain for "extreme woke-ism", perhaps these three might find a way to agree to disagree?  Let us know where you stand.

Today's guest answers the question, "Is it safe to be gay?"  During this episode our team discusses coming out as an Atheist vs. a gay man, raising children vs. grooming, transgender and transphobia, the new movie by Matt Walsh "What Is A Woman?" and much more.

Today's guest, Chris Kluckas, works in one of the most dangerous suburbs of NYC.  There are microphones on traffic signals to identify the direction of gunshots.  As the Director of Outpatient Services, he works with parolees, gang members, the homeless, and those suffering from mental illness and drug addiction. His perspective on policies and gun violence is unique, raw, and real.

Can cults be good? The group starts with more serious matters like Uvalde, school bullying, and gun control.  They pay homage to Ray Liotta (which seems to go terribly wrong), discuss the Ash test, and when the topic turns to cults - all bets are off.  The team discusses cults and how they work, they dig into Shannon's business cult, PTSD, microbiomes and poop doping. Is this the best way to lose weight, get strong, cure disease...   You be the judge.  

On today's podcast our hosts talk about Mayor Eric Adams and his "Broken Windows" approach to rising crime, and the influence of @AntiJokeCat on Andy's life and how it makes him cool to ten-year-olds.  "2000 Mules" loses to "Tombstone" and "Mad Max" and the psychology of all men and women enters into the conversation.  Andy and Colleen duke it out over workplace diversity and inclusion and somehow can't keep @AntiJokeCat out of the conversation.   Hate the idea, love the person.  You CAN Say That Here.

On today's show, special guest, David Brown, joins in on a conversation about the validity of miracles, transubstantiation, and how Colleen set her house on fire (literally!)  Do angels perform miracles or do we use miracles as an excuse for good things that happen to substantiate our beliefs?  What is the Vatican Miracle Council, whether Elon Musk is an angel or sly capitalist, and Andrew compares magicians and priests.  We discussed Andrew as the "spoon" in our relationship and wishing for miracles.  Growing up in the ministry, David tells Andy & Colleen his true definition of miracles - which perhaps might be a little different than Colleen expected.  Transubstantiation aside, who knew this group could argue about something so... prophetic?    

Today's episode was designed to be about Andy's path from Catholicism to Atheism, but we took a few (many) detours to talk about some astounding port-a-potty stories, teaching your children to be advocates for themselves, and Colleen's love-hate relationship with @JoeRogan . #Fauci, demon or well-intentioned politician? Atheist Activism,  Christian privilege, @Naval and the power of #meditation.   

On today's episode, our hosts push Allison out of her comfort zone when we make her play Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates. Allison Demers, Andrew Levesque and Colleen Ferrary discuss their beliefs on Judgement Day and play "would You Rather" with celebrity sins.  The conversation vacillates from the relevance of the number seven, The Rapture and being sucked into the clouds from your car, believing in luck, and the #PowerOfAttraction.  Andy insults Allie, the end of time, plane stunts, porch talk, and our last moments. And we're left with a question: Is it a sin to smoke weed? 

"The devil made me do It."  Hopefully he'll make YOU click "like" and "subscribe" as well! On today's episode Andrew tries to disprove Colleen's irrefutable proof that mediums are communicating in a third dimension, Allison prays for our souls and we ask the question: are mediums and fortune-tellers doing the devil's work?  The team also shares why we may be in the midst of a resurrection economically and spiritually.  Somehow, it never stays serious and @HarryStyles (and his abs and outfits), unconscious bias, divorce in the church, a medium's take on Heaven, labels, the Resurrection and a celebration of Colleen having wine are also discussed.     One of our fan favorites already!  Join us on the conversation on Facebook or YouTube. 

What happens when your three cohosts disagree on a book written 20 years ago?  You host a book club.     This is a continuation of last week's podcast.  Stay tuned next week as we use our upgraded audio to discuss the resurrection, mediums, and fortune tellers!

Our minister, Catholic, and Atheist find themselves at odds on a myriad of topics from pagan yoga to Will Smith, philanderers and their victims, and Florida's controversial new bill and what that means for the future of Dr. Suess! Get ready to scream at whatever device you use to listen to podcasts - and please check subscribe there, too!   *Unfortunately, Colleen was in a remote location (too far from the mic) for this taping, so we apologize in advance for our inability to make her sound like she knows what she's doing!  It's still a great podcast and one of our most contemptuous yet!  Thank you for joining us.  

Breakthrough events, ligers, scents, and bathroom habits.  Join Allison Demers, Andrew Levesque, and Colleen Ferrary as they share/debate what inspires their beliefs.  As always, the conversation never stops there. Please share and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts!  

In this episode, Ukraine and Lent dominate the conversation.  What really happened and does anyone really know?  Allison Demers, Andrew Levesque and Colleen Ferrary spar over where they get their news and the voice in our heads.  Is it God, implicit bias, or our moral conscience?   Please subscribe and join us on this journey of exploration.  We appreciate you being on this trip as we all learn  how to have better conversations and create a podcast that inspires and entertains.  (We're a work in progress!) 

In our inaugural podcast, we learn a little about podcasting and a lot about our individual interpretations of God, St. Paddy's Day parades, and Joel Osteen: Who is your God?  (01:30) Staten Island's ban of the LGBTQ community from their parade  (56:00) Joel Osteen and leprechauns (1:03:00) (timestamps are approximate)   We hope you'll join us on this journey and SUBSCRIBE wherever you listen to podcasts.
