The Things We Say

We share our favorite holiday traditions and tell some stories about our own family gatherings. Everyone can relate to the challenges of merging family traditions through marriage, moves, location changes, and the age transitions of our elders. It can get messy!

We landed on the moon! Or did we? Was it all a hoax, a clever trick by our government and Hollywood level production? We explore the most common arguments against the moon landing to see how they hold up.

What are some conspiracy theories that you hate? We start our list by lumping a bunch of them together. Get ready 9/11 truthers, we're coming for ya!

We take questions from our audience and they control the show! "Did you know" segment goes back to the Titanic conspiracy. Video version available on Facebook @thethingswesaypodcast

Sometimes it becomes frustrating when trying to communicate across the political divide. There's a difference in terms, perspectives, and 'solutions' but the anger and defensiveness seems universal. Is there a way out?

The steady drumbeat everywhere is that things keep getting worse. Civility is at an all time low. Protests on the sports field and in the streets. Trump said this, now he said that. The hurricane is coming! What if not all the news was bad? What if we were living in the best of times and didn't know it?

When discussing right and wrong, what measure are we to use? What is the standard? One thing that's sure: when Christians discuss these issues, someone always brings up the speed limit.

We take a look back to share and celebrate our successes, great or small. Some steps were easy, others were extremely difficult. All of these we would repeat if we could do it over again.

We share our most embarrassing moments so you can be entertained at our expense. But hey, it's good to know that even when it all goes wrong - life isn't over. It can only get better from here!

Kaepernick... what do you think of when you hear his name? Hero or villain? Uniting us or dividing us? Ruining a sport or redeeming a platform? What's the real story?

In this episode we discuss voting and elections. Sheldon fixes the primary system. Nate reveals how he votes on taxes. And, we introduce a new segment. Contact: thethingswesay@mail.com, @TTWSpodcast on Twitter and Insta, @thethingswesaypodcast on Facebook.

Nate is back this week to offer his rebuttal to the previous episode which was done without him. We discuss football, our fandom, our teams and we go off on a few tangents. Enjoy! Facebook: @thethingswesaypodcast Twitter: @TTWSpodcast Email: thethingswesay@mail.com

It's an awkward episode. Nate is out, so Sheldon takes the opportunity to talk behind his back. We're praying the team is back together soon! Tune in for a shorter podcast that's completely rant-based

What is social media really selling? Are they all private companies, a public forum, or telecoms? Who makes the rules? Should there be any rules at all?

Boys of all ages play stupid games. These games do not have a winner or a point and they usually end with someone bleeding. We try to chronicle as many of them as we can remember. Mothers, cover your ears! We have never laughed so hard recording anything else. Enjoy!

When 9/11 happened both of us were 17 years old. In this episode we recall where we were that day, what our world was like at the time, and what has changed since then.

Is there universal or absolute truth? Why is any standard of truth under attack? If something is true, does it need to be defended? We tackle some of our deeper questions in this episode. But first, it's obvious that we don't understand... a few things.

When is violence justifiable? What is the difference between hunting culture and gun culture? Do we need to support every war to be patriotic? What's the dumbest thing you've done with a gun? All part of our discussion this week.

Tune in this week to hear our thoughts on Space Force, Aliens, and to hear Nate share his experience with UFO's! Fair warning, we discuss these things from a Christian perspective and Christians rarely discuss aliens... publicly.

Why would anyone identify as a capitalist when they're know for greed, monopolies, selfishness, and exploiting the poor working class? Wouldn't it be nice if we could all be socialist and let the government care for us, lifting everyone out of poverty?

What are your go-to stories? We tell some of our favorites on this episode. We saved the best for last :)

We continue to air some of our political opinions that are not the most popular among American evangelicals. Hopefully hearing our different ideas helps you feel free to express your own! Head over to @thethingswesaypodcast on Facebook to continue the conversation.

We finally air some of our political opinions that are not popular... or maybe just don't fit in the box of mainstream American evangelical politics. Either way, feel free to listen along, disagree, think, come up with counter arguments, and express your weird opinion too! It's a 2-part podcast, so more to follow next week.

We talk about the books that formed us. What we read as children, what impacted us as teens, and what we are still reading today. Stick around to the end to hear our "Must Read" lists! Warning: there's a couple tangents along the way.

These are truly stupid things that only bother us. They're weird, corny, and probably a bit petty... but so are we!
