224. On Faith, Lost Boys, and Erika Kirk’s Forgiveness

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.com

Nancy and Sarah discuss the Charlie Kirk memorial. Was it a Nazi rally? Of course not. Was it a turning point in saving Western Civilization? Hmm, sounds like a high bar. But it was: Huge, culturally important, occasionally annoying, occasionally profound, mixing feel-good megachurch vibes with a saber-rattling political rally. It also included one of the most moving speeches in political memory.

Also discussed:

* Why does Nancy’s shirt says PORHN?

* Will Jimmy Kimmel coming back on the air be a dead-cat bounce?

* Why is Destiny mad? (Who is Destiny?)

* The algorithm wants to keep us mad

* “Amazing Grace,” a good jam

* Tucker and the “hummus eaters”

* What is a Stephen Miller?

* “Have a baby!”

* Who’s gonna get Sarah pregnant?

* Are we a Christian nation?

* Is Pete Hegseth hot? Nancy and Sarah debate!

* Sarah requests fireworks at her funeral

* Nancy has never seen Only Fans (which is exactly what someone would say if they were addicted to OnlyFans)

* What AA teaches you about spirituality

* Actual quote about Teddy Roosevelt (by his daughter Alice): “My father always wanted to be the corpse at every funeral, the bride at every wedding and the baby at every christening”

* The usefulness of prayer

* “Forgiveness is a muscle you flex”

Plus, Nancy is REALLY excited about her hot box, the majestic perfection of Redford’s 70s hair, the necessary rightness of Ezra Klein right now, and much more!
