It’s All Wrong
Don’t get me wrong. I know you’ve got your own ideas about stuff, but I’ve got to get something off my chest. Humorous and nuanced opinions on politics, religion, sports, culture and anything else we can’t talk about in polite company. The show is hosted by Tim, a guy with a famous wealth of useless information and the intense burden of having to form an opinion on EVERYTHING. Someone is always wrong on the internet and it’s probably me.

Episode 87 – Take Me Out
“Honor the trolls or bear the consequences.” It seems like a deal worth taking but that’s apparently not the case. In this episode I push back on the terms of the culture war itself. It seems the only path forward is a reinstatement of taboos. I also talk about the latest smuggling craze in Israel and legal follies in the age of Artificial Intelligence.
Episode 86 – The Reluctant Death of Me
Self indulgent in every way. How many of cups of coffee will kill you? I make the case and present the evidence that reluctant Trump voters should no longer remain reluctant. For those voters concerned about Woke ideology and the agenda of the Left, the choice has been made.

Episode 55 – How Whoopi Goldberg and the LDS Church Disagree About Race
Whoopi Goldberg stirred a lot of debate and discussion about the Nazi Holocaust of Jews with comments on The View. I attempt to bring light rather than heat to her confusion about race and the holocaust. This in many ways ties into the previous LDS ban on Black priesthood holders that was not revoked until 1978. I reveal the origins of that policy and what it took to revoke it.
Episode 54 – Ukraine is Texas

Charisma is a powerful force. What is it? How do I get it? Once wielded it has the power to make a person rich, famous, and powerful. I talk about all three categories in this episode.
Episode 42 – What Could it Mean?
Check out this bizarre image. I’ll tell you exactly what it means and so much more. The thing about public symbols is that they are difficult to control. Once an icon is made a part of the public discourse it’s impossible to control what it means and who can use it. In addition I talk about what Planned Parenthood and the LDS church have in common.
Episode 41 – Vaccine Smack-down
Based on comments from a listener, I do a complete smack-down on the vaccine. Why isn’t it as effective as promised? What about the risks? Who can say you should get it. I also offer a Christian defense of Atheist chaplains.

Episode 32 – What the Heck is Critical Race Theory?

Episode 31 – Killing Cults Better
There was a serious deficiency in Evangelical counter-cult education starting with Walter Martin’s “Kingdom of the Cults”. I’m here to set forth a new standard for protecting Christians from spiritual abuse. I also hijack this space to explore some thoughts on primal responses to natural disasters and an old trope on aging athletes.
Episode 30 – Billy Goat Post
I’ve decided that I’ve found the worst behavior on social media. It isn’t vaguebooking, or selling snake oil. It’s something I’ve named the Billy Goat Post. I also talk about the dynamics of multi-racial and international adoption and why you shouldn’t use children as a prop. Finally, I utter words I didn’t imagine I’d find myself with the courage to speak; William Lane Craig is wrong. I react to an article he wrote on Reasonable Faith.org. I dive in deep and explain why Dr. Craig’s thinking is not only simplistic, it’s wrong.
Episode 29 – A Rant or Two
When Christians were encouraged to worship God, did that mean they had to go to a $10 million, temperature-controlled auditorium that can seat a thousand people? Is that the only way to have church in a pandemic?

Episode 26 – America! the Religion
I dive into the indubitably refreshing perspective that All Lives Matter and how I’m handling calls to “Defund the Police”.

I promise you’ll hear our National Anthem in a new way and think of me whenever you swear on a Bible.
Episode 25 – Slow to Speak
In this episode I practice the spiritual discipline of being quick to listen and slow to speak.

Who is manipulating us and how are they doing it? How hard is it becoming to discern truth from reality? It’s getting tougher, which requires us to be wiser. I discuss the rise of deep fakes and social media manipulation. Plus some news about Michael Bloomberg caused me to reflect on the career of “The Million Dollar Man” Ted Dibiase. I also field a listener comment about the death of Kobe Bryant.
Episode 17 – What Do We Talk About When We Talk About Kobe? #GirlDad
When a celebrity falls from grace, can we still laugh? Can we still cheer? Are we still inspired? We don’t have a good way to hold the bad with the good. Too often we ignore one side or the other because we can’t stand the conflict in our own minds. We need a better way and the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant reignited those questions. Is he allowed to move forward in life and death without the allegations of rape (or at least blatant infidelity)? How do we talk about his victim? What about Bill Cosby, Martin Luther King Jr., and Michael Jackson. Is there a point when excellence surpasses sin? Are there sins that negate excellence?

We discuss the basis for these rights and what the government can and can’t do to actually provide them. Is it gossip to share the news of a religious leaders failings? What motivates us to talk about people’s personal weaknesses? How do you decide to switch from one operating system to another? Is it possible to dump your iPhone for an Android?
