It's pride month again yet the culture seems to be moving away from supporting this wickedness. The emperor has no clothes and is dancing in the street in front of your children. Memes win, again.Show Notes:* Opening Segment: Biblical Reference and Church Discipline (00:00:00 - 00:00:25)* The episode begins with a question about what the Apostle Paul instructed regarding unrepentant believers in the church.* Answer: Paul advised to "kick them out" and "give them up to Satan" so they might be saved, referencing 1 Corinthians 5:5.* The hosts clarify this is not about mocking individuals but addressing unrepentant sin within the church.* Pride Month Discussion and Statistics (00:00:25 - 00:12:44)* The hosts introduce the episode as occurring during Pride Month, humorously sipping Bud Light Lime in jest.* They present a series of statistics labeled as "homo facts" to critique the lifestyle associated with the LGBTQ+ community, including:* Lesbian Relationships: 24-90% of lesbians report physical abuse by partners, higher than in heterosexual relationships.* HIV Prevalence: Gay men are 60 times more likely to have HIV than straight men; one in eight gay men in London have HIV; transsexuals are 50 times more likely to have HIV globally.* Sexual Partners: 25% of gay men in America have had over 1,000 partners; 43% have had over 500; 79% of homosexual men say half their partners are strangers.* Mental Health and Suicide: Homosexuals are more likely to experience anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and suicide; 41% of transsexuals have attempted suicide.* Health Risks: Gay men have a 20-year lower life expectancy; lesbians have a 10-year lower life expectancy; active homosexual men are 17 times more likely to have anal cancer.* Other Stats: 99.8% of lesbian, gay, or bisexual teens change their sexual orientation within 13 years; 53% of mothers of transsexual children have borderline personality disorder; gay men account for 63% of U.S. syphilis cases despite being 1.65% of the population.* The hosts attribute these issues to environmental factors (e.g., absent or poor father figures, sexual abuse) rather than being "born gay."* They reference Romans 1 to support their view that homosexuality is a sin and argue that a straight lifestyle leads to a safer, more wholesome life.* Cultural Commentary and "Gay Fatigue" (00:12:44 - 00:15:41)* The hosts note a societal shift, observing increased mockery of Pride flags and events online, suggesting a growing "homo fatigue."* They criticize Disney for replacing the American flag with a Pride flag at Magic Kingdom during June, speculating it's to cater to "Disney adults" due to low birth rates.* Anecdotes about public backlash, such as negative comments on a Cincinnati post about raising a Pride flag and a sarcastic comment on an Orlando Pride run event.* Biblical Mockery and Calling Out Sin (00:15:41 - 00:29:01)* The hosts discuss the role of mockery in addressing pride and sin, referencing Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19) as the biblical origin of the term "sodomy."* They argue that affirming sinful lifestyles (e.g., homosexuality, cohabitation outside marriage) is not loving and that Christians must call people to repentance.* Personal anecdotes are shared, such as the hosts' experiences with family members (e.g., a lesbian aunt who was mocked but not affirmed, with one getting saved before death).* They emphasize that mockery should not be personal but can be a tool to challenge pride, contrasting it with affirmation that enables sin.* Pop Culture and Media Critique (00:29:01 - 01:34:12)* Doctor Who Discussion (01:17:23 - 01:20:24): The hosts critique the recent Doctor Who reboot, noting low ratings (120,000 viewers on BBC) and the controversial transformation of the Doctor into Rose Tyler, a former companion. They view it as a ratings grab and a pandering move.* Olympics Controversy (01:20:24 - 01:24:51): Discussion of a male boxer competing in women's boxing at the Paris Olympics, despite prior evidence of male chromosomes, highlighting unfairness and societal gaslighting.* Superman and Comic Book Talk (01:24:51 - 01:33:34): Speculation about the upcoming Superman movie and the potential death of Krypto the dog. The hosts nerd out over DC and Marvel, comparing their strengths (DC's deep characters vs. Marvel's broader stories) and praising specific comics like Red Son, Hush, and Court of Owls.* Political Commentary: Benjamin Netanyahu (01:34:12 - 01:39:45)* The hosts discuss Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's ongoing corruption trial since 2020, noting he took the stand on June 6, 2025.* They reveal his birth name, Benzion Milikowski, and note his family's immigration from Poland, questioning the name change to “Hebrewize” it as potentially misleading.* They speculate about the October 7th attack as an inside job to bolster Netanyahu's image, comparing it to 9/11, and suggest his trial indicates waning public support in Israel.* Final Thoughts and Political Critique (01:39:45 - 01:46:16)* Good Trump, Bad Trump: The hosts praise Trump for backing away from unconditional support for Israel and for speaking out against fearmongering over a new COVID variant. However, they criticize him for not taking a strong stand against COVID measures four years earlier, calling politicians “a day late and a dollar short.”* Republican Inaction: Frustration with Republicans who promise action but do nothing once in office.* Cultural Reflection: The world is described as “fake and gay,” urging listeners to seek truth in Christ rather than worldly affirmation.* Christian Perspective on Homosexuality: The hosts address claims that one can be a practicing homosexual and a born-again Christian, arguing that true faith involves conviction and repentance from sin, not affirmation of a sinful lifestyle.* Closing Prayer and Verse (01:46:16 - 01:47:40)* Verse of the Night: 1 Peter 5:7 – “Casting all your care upon him [Jesus], for he cares for you.”* Prayer (Led by Dusty): Thanks God for the opportunity to discuss worldly issues, acknowledges the fallen nature of the world, and praises Jesus for His sacrifice.* Call to Action: Encourages listeners to like, share, subscribe, and comment at kingsplaining.com to support the podcast.Key Themes* Biblical Authority: The hosts ground their critique of Pride Month and societal trends in scripture, particularly Paul's teachings and the story of Sodom and Gomorrah.* Cultural Decline: They express frustration with what they see as moral and cultural decay, particularly in media and politics, labeling it “fake and gay.”* Call to Repentance: Emphasizes the need for Christians to confront sin lovingly but firmly, rejecting affirmation of lifestyles they believe are sinful.* Humor and Mockery: Uses humor and satire to challenge societal norms, while acknowledging the need for personal relationships to be handled with care.* Political Skepticism: Critiques both domestic and international political figures, expressing distrust in leaders like Netanyahu and disappointment in Republican inaction.Notable Quotes* “We didn't bring a gay person onto the show to mock them ruthlessly. And we wouldn't if they were on the show.” (00:26:01)* “Love is not destructive.” (01:46:04)* “Cast it all on Jesus, even in this fake and gay world.” (01:46:27)* “We're not gay like Fox News. We actually are fair and balanced.” (01:39:54)Additional Notes* The podcast is self-described as the “home of the Rube Empire,” with a mission to serve Christ Jesus and offer a Christian, conservative perspective.* The hosts promote their website, kingsplaining.com, for merchandise (e.g., shirts) and listener engagement.* The episode includes significant use of provocative language and humor, which may be offensive to some listeners but aligns with the podcast's irreverent style.* The hosts express a mix of serious theological points and playful banter, particularly in the comic book discussion, showing their multifaceted interests.Listen to the Episode: Available at kingsplaining.com.Support the Show: Like, share, subscribe, and comment to help grow the Rube Empire!

Send us a textTexas is cooking up a bill that could land trans people in jail for “identity fraud.” Meanwhile, society keeps defending criminals more than the people protecting what's theirs—because logic is dead. We dive into how the glorification of unhealthy lifestyles now includes plus-size caskets, and why a hunger strike at UCLA fizzled out with about as much impact as a tofu protest.Also on deck: The media's back on its scripted drama with claims that Trump blindsided South Africa's president. Fluoride is turning up in concrete (and possibly turning your teeth to chalk), and chemtrails are no longer a conspiracy—whistleblowers and news reports are saying the quiet part out loud. Oh, and Delta Airlines is now rolling out “parallel reality” tech that sounds like the future… or a Black Mirror episode.Buckle up—because reality is getting glitchy.Keywords: identity fraud law Texas, trans jail bill, UCLA hunger strike, fat caskets, fluoride conspiracy, chemtrails real, Delta parallel reality, Trump ambush fake news, fluoride concrete teeth, political manipulation, media scripts, R2 Cents podcastThanks for listening to R2 Cents With Oscar!

Today, Mike and Tim discuss the implications of current events, the responsibilities of Christians towards marginalized communities, and the concept of cruciformity in relation to leadership and community engagement. The dialogue emphasizes the need for empathy, awareness, and a commitment to serving others in the face of societal challenges. In this conversation, Mike and Tim explore the transformation of church leadership and community through the lens of grace and cruciformity. They critique the consumer-driven metrics of success in churches, emphasizing the need for a shift towards a more authentic and vulnerable leadership style that prioritizes love and community over prestige and power. The discussion highlights the dangers of traditional leadership models and the importance of fostering a culture that values people and their growth. But first... Andor? Sinners? Beyonce'? "I am an individual with an inalienable bill of rights and constitutional freedoms; I am an American citizen, promised upward mobility and a shot at the American dream if I just work hard and believe in myself; I am a consumer of religious goods and services, church shopping until I find a church that meets my needs; I am engaged in a culture war that can only be won through the exercise of political power against my political opponents who are ruining our country..." or "I am one of the ‘holy ones,' and a minister,  formerly dead and enslaved, but now, because of the mercy of God, I am alive and rescued into a newly reconciled human community, called the church. Belonging now to the new humanity,  I am saved and transformed utterly by grace, so that the basis of all human boasting, status seeking, and rivalry has been removed.  I am therefore free to receive others as gifts and siblings."

The host hits 99 episodes and brings back six-time guest Brandon Moore for a raw, chaotic, and petty conversation about authenticity, work husbands, and love languages that lowkey expose your trauma.

Also covered: RadioShack hoe chronicles, petty beef with edutainment, using the word “watermelon people,” and why women need to keep the same energy when their boyfriend's around. It's funny, foul, and probably a lawsuit waiting to happen.
