Awesome show, guys. Dustin, I think you would have made an awesome pastor, or whatever Adventist call it. But then I would have never heard of you. Made a few purchases from Amazon to support you guys… before I listened to your wonderful ode to pornography. *roll eyes*

Thank you for the kind words. Yes, Adventists do call them pastors. I spent two summers working with churches in that kind of role and a year as the dorm chaplain in college. You’re probably right that I would have made a decent pastor, if not for that dang brain of mine. I just might have to share this comment on the next show.

Just want to defend Iceland a bit. Iceland is an incredibly feminist, forward thinking country so not surprised they are concerned about pornography’s exploitation of women. But they are also a European country, so much of their porn features poorer women who are sex slaves from Eastern European countries. So when it comes to porn, look for the “Made in the USA” label!
