The Pugnacious Pilgrim Podcast

Hello pilgrims and welcome back to the podcast. What do the fashion police have in common with the failure we’re watching unfold in Afghanistan? Tune into this episode to find out. We started the show discussion the weird things Mike does to get himself amped up for the podcast. We then turned our attention to the colossal travesty we’re watching unfold in America’s botched Afghanistan exit. We en...

Hello pilgrims and welcome back to the podcast. Jason made it back, after kidnapping his grandma, and the boys have now made the decision to start a fundraiser for their yet-to-be-finalized move to the great state of Idaho. Today’s show was dedicated to the increasingly clear picture that all the promises we’ve been told about how to beat COVID and get back to normal were nothing short of terrible...

Hello pilgrims and welcome back to the podcast. Today we decided to talk about everyone’s favorite subject. No, not Mike’s ultra-ego, Jangles McHeavy. We’re talking about good old fashioned SHAME! In a culture where things which once would’ve been considered inconceivable are now considered honorable. We decided to try and understand why we’ve forgotten how to blush. We than moved into the concept...

Hello pilgrims and welcome back to the podcast. Today's show is SMOKIN', no literally it's...[smokin']. In our first segment of the day, we shared a story from the Wokeville Gazette about how greatness seems to now be measured on the equity scale instead how it has historically been measured, namely by how incredibly great someone actually is. We used this to discuss Simone Biles decision to pull...

Hello pilgrims and welcome back to the podcast. Oh, yeah. It’s a "Big Show" but let’s be clear (so as to avoid any legal issues) it is not “The Big Show” it’s just “A BIG SHOW”. So get comfortable and buckle in! We jumped into things, circling back to our discussion last week on missssss-information and how progressives seem to make peace, shading the truth in order to trigger emotions and accompl...

Hello pilgrims and welcome back to the podcast. Mike and I had a great time analyzing the psychology behind his desire to wear shoes which make him feel older and my desire to wear shoes which make me feel younger. We then discussed the US Surgeon Generals warning, calling vaccine misinformation an “urgent threat” to America, even as he used misinformation to solidify his point. This was a great t...

Hello pilgrims and welcome back to the podcast. We started today's episode discussing Independence Day and how your humble hosts chose to spend it. While Mike seemed to have the time of his life, up north with his "fishing buddy", Jason's weekend got off to a rough start over a profoundly serious debate with his wife. We used this discussion to jump into a conversation of American Patriotism, as w...

Hello pilgrims and welcome back to the podcast. We’re recording early again this week, because Mike is taking another trip up north with his husband (or should I say his sister’s husband) who also just so happens to be his fishing buddy. We started the show talking about Independence Day and some of the freedoms we are most grateful for, as Americans. We used this as a transition into a conversati...

Hello pilgrims and welcome back to the podcast. Being men of high valor and character, we followed through with our commitment to give away a free Pugnacious Pill Bill (that’s a hat in case it wasn’t obvious) to one lucky listener who shared our 20th episode on Facebook. We then dove into a couple current events, including President Biden’s efforts to revise the history of the 2nd Amendment, and a...

Hello pilgrims and welcome back to the podcast. Well, it happened. We don’t know why and we don’t know how...but it happened. That’s right, we hit our 20th episode of the podcast. And that means it’s time for us to celebrate! Share our podcast on Facebook for a FREE chance to be the third person in history to don a Pugnacious Pilgrim Podcast hat. We ended our show doing what we should have done a...

Hello pilgrims and welcome back to the podcast. Mike and I were surprised to discover an old friend, sitting alone in our studio this evening—but this time he brought beer—so, we decided to let him stick around and join us for the show. We started the show by discussing what we can do to help get Vice President Harris to the Southern border, so she can deal with the immigration crisis happening th...

Hello pilgrims and welcome back to the podcast. We’re (6) months into this thing, which is a pretty big deal (if you ask us). Mike and I took some time to look at a few things which didn’t last as long as our podcast has so far. Since it’s PRIDE month, and we don’t want to find ourselves on the outside looking in, we shifted our discussion to understanding both the glamorization and celebration of...

Hello pilgrims and welcome back to the podcast. Mike spent some time bragging about how awesome he is after wrapping up his second fishing trip, just two weeks into the fishing season. We then asked the question, where in the world is President Biden, as we discussed a few recent news stories which have exposed a significant media bias while shedding light on truth President Trump had already atte...

Hello pilgrims and welcome back to the podcast. Mike made it back from his fishing trip up Nort’ and told us about his weekend adventures of valor and bravery, rescuing a ship and its sailors who were doomed to drown in the frigid and dangerous waters of Lake Kabetogama. All this talk about bravery and honor were a great springboard into our discussion today. We shared a story from NPR about Presi...

Hello pilgrims and welcome back to the podcast. Mike and I recorded early this week, so he could go on a fishing trip with his good buddy. And remember, what happens up north...stays up north! We began our conversation today, discussion the ELCA's decision to elect its first "TRANSGENDER BISHIOP" and how concerned Christians can understand and respond to this news, while others inside and outside...

Hello pilgrims and welcome back to the podcast. In this episode, we slipped on our waders and jumped waist-deep into the sticky and slippery mucus draining from Mike's nose do to his allergies. We did all of this to ensure we could bring you the relevant and much needed conversation about what we perceive as one of the deepest roots driving wedges between people in today's culture; namely, envy. A...

Hello pilgrims and welcome back to the podcast. This week, we were forced to record a few days early, because Mike is not only single but is also a proud owner of a truck, which means that when friends need help moving...he's the first one they call. Mike's loyalty and his bravery are a perfect transition into the main topic of our show today. We take a look at modern day bravery, and compare it t...

Hello pilgrims and welcome back to the podcast. It's Earth Day, so Mike slipped on his burkenstoks and took a moment to reflect on just how sad he'd be, if there was no environment. After the celebrating, our conversation took a turn towards the somber as we jumped into a discussion on justice for George Floyd, the Derrick Chauvin verdict, and the weird response Speaker Pelosi had after the verdic...

Hello pilgrims and welcome back to the podcast. Today's episode is a good one, so we encourage all of our listeners to turn the volume up to 11. As residents of the state of Minnesota—which is currently in a state of shock and chaos in the aftermath of Daunte Wright's death at the hands of a police officer—we jump into the topic of Justice and Truth, as we try to make sense which path will lead to...

Hello Pilgrims and welcome back to our podcast. It's a big episode for us, the bigest one yet (literally). We unpack the phenomonon of virtue signaling and its appeal in today's culture. We then turn our focus to God's word, to try and undertand what true virtue is. Thanks again for joining us Pilgrims. Enjoy the podcast and stay pugnacious. #GrowOn #BeBraveAmerica #PugnaciousPilgrimPodcast

It's April and we start the show off by reading some of today's craziest headlines, which are almost too unbelievable to be true. We then turn to the scriptures, to discuss what God's word says about wisdom and foolishness and how Christians must be active and intentional in our efforts to grow in wisdom and godliness; even as we trust in the promise of the finished work of Jesus Christ. #GrowOn #...

We have a full show for you today, including the introduction of our first guest host. That's right! We found a random guy roaming the streets of our town and we asked him to join us for our discussion on hate crimes, and identity politics and the hopelessness and resentment these ideologies often create. We then turn to scriptures, as we reflect Christin's true identity, which isn't found in our...

Jump in the deep end of the pool, as we discuss the truth behind an organization that has gained momentum, even as the media and progressive politicians have denied its existence. We also discuss the deep ties this group has to Marxism how these ideological roots may be behind the anger and emotions that continue to fuel the riots and violence we've seen around our nation over the past 5 years. #G...

Today, we'll be discussing the issue of compulsory apologies, as it pertains to appeasing the expectations of cancel-culture. Not only were Disney and Warner Brothers expected to meet these demands, but so is a Banjo Player from Mumford and Sons. And what was his crime? Calling an "unapproved book", important, and encouraging others to read it as well. We also play a game called, Where in the Worl...

As progressivism and cancel-culture continue their hunt for another victim, we discuss a man who has been honored by Americans on all sides of the political isle for decades—as a champion for children's literacy—who was just denounced for things he did almost a century ago. We also discuss the Equality act, which seems to be far less about equality than it is about mandating and legislating accept...
