GGCH: Best of 2024 & Celebrities Getting Christ-curious (#308)

You Have Permission

It’s time for another Generation Gap Culture Hour where I sit down with Josh Gilbert and Tony Jones to talk about current culture from across our 20-year age perspectives.

In today’s episode we talk about:

• How bands I toured with on the Warped Tour are now featuring at venues reserved for “legacy acts.” 👀
• Band merchandise etiquette, including one very cringe story from Tony
• Current events including Trump’s presidency and the TikTok ban
• The absurdity of long URLs in podcast advertising
• Institutions and outdated social media practices
• Our favorite media of 2024: books about burnout culture, Korean War fighter pilots, and the fall of the Roman Empire

In the patron-only second half, we get more in-depth discussing Joe Rogan's recent interactions with Christian figures, and examining the intersection of apologetics, early Christian history, and religious experience.

Highlights:

05:45 Political Concerns and TikTok Ban Discussions

14:47 Dude Lit, Books, Movies & TV Shows of the Year

23:53 Joe Rogan's Cultural Impact and Christianity
