JJ and Sara return for more crazy antics that you absolutely cannot miss.
First, we've got an update on the Twitter Trouble: Battle for the greatest Christmas Movie of all time - and we have a winner!!
Then we tell some bonkers stories about stolen bull sperm (ew), a deer that's getting into the holiday spirit and a woman who fakes labor to get them to land a plane (and a dozen passengers flee from the landing?!? Smells like a spy movie to me)
Then we introduce a brand new game called "Mann-schreck-splaining"!
First our kiddos have a turn explaining popular Christmas movies and song lyrics to us, and then Sara and JJ take turns making up random and incorrect definitions of the latest and greatest slang words off Urban Dictionary.
Don't forget the classic Sponsor of your life AND the Mom Joke of the week (I think you get three of them in this episode)
New Episodes every Friday, subscribe, rate, review, send out carrier pigeons to all your friends - and never miss an episode of THE MANNSCHRECKS!!
WOWOWOWOW, you don't want to miss this episode!
A lady gives birth AND wins the lottery on the same day, camels are using botox to cheat in beauty pageants in Qatar, people are doing hilarious phone pranks on their elected officials AND New York is paying big bucks for someone to help get rid of their rat problem!
As if that wasn't enough - we introduce the "Battle For the Best Christmas Movie Ever!" which is a voting challenge over going on over on Twitter, have some classic sponsors of our life AND finish up with a fantastic mom joke of the week.
We love making them, we hope you love listening!
New episodes every Friday.
The Mannschrecks are BACK after a holiday break, and we're here for you!
We've got a pile of crazy stories to talk about, some fantastic sponsors of life and then we get to introduce a brand new segment called "The Internet Knows Everything"
Did a woman give birth in a McDonald's bathroom? (yes, yes she did)
Did a cat sneak into a man's luggage and get caught in the airport xray? (yes, yes it did)
Did some Russian comedians call the president of Poland pretending to be the president of France? (yes, yes they did)
and then finally..
Did someone buy Steve Job's nasty old shoes for over $200,000? (of course they did)
Then laugh along with us as we examine a Wikihow article on "how to prepare for Christmas"
Welcome back to the place where we go to get away from all the things that have a point - we have a ton of fun here.
New Episodes drop every Friday!
It's the week of Thanksgiving! You're busy! We're busy!
So we switched it up a bit this week and did a "no prep" pod, where Sara and JJ just riff on a topic, with no preparation.
This week we're talking HOLIDAYS! Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Christmas Trees - you name it, we covered it.
So take a break from all that turkey and fall asleep listening to the latest episode of The Mannschrecks!!
The Mannschrecks are back for more!
We've got a fresh slate of crazy news stories that we are excited to share with you!
Did you know that November 10th is World Record Day?
What about the rare NASA photo of the sun actually smiling at us? (looks like the StayPuft Marshmallow man, if we're honest)
A little girl gets her head stuck in the toilet and a couple finds a giant diamond at what is possibly the world's coolest state park!
Toss in a brand new game where we come up with slogans for bible characters if they were politicians, sponsors of our life and (of course) the Mom Joke Of The Week - and you've got a pretty darn good episode of... The Mannschrecks!
New Episodes drop every Friday!
Welcome to our smooth jazz warm and cozy episode, where we snuggle up with a blanket, and tell you crazy stories while you fall asleep.
Well - I mean, how can you fall asleep with more hilarious news stories and games to listen to?!?
We've got people licking TOADS, runaway Christmas decorations that are bigger than cars, a lottery winner who wears a mascot costume to hide his identity and a famous piece of art that has been displayed upside down for 75 years!! You just can't get any better than that!
Then, after a quick break for some good ol' Sponsors of Life, we jump into another round of MY OFF BRAND CHILDHOOD - Book Series Edition! Can you guess the Name Brand versions of these famous Kid's Series?
Tune in EVERY Friday morning for a brand new episode of The Mannschrecks!
Are ya thirsty for more? Because WE ARE!!
We jump in with a look at a very disappointing laundry folding robot that the tech world assures us is the best we can do at the moment, then we keep it going with a truly bizarre story involving Chinese Government officials calling newlywed couples EVERY THREE MONTHS to see if they're pregnant yet. Good grief.
Then, after a pit stop for some fantastic "sponsors of our life" we dive into another round of PLAYLIST PUZZLES!!
For the unfamiliar - we basically share lyrics with one another and try to guess if it's 80's love ballad or 90's Contemporary Christian songs.
All that and (of course) the Mom Joke of the Week!
New episodes every Friday!
It finally happened!
Every week JJ and Sara bring goofy news stories to tell to one another (and to all of you wonderful listeners) - and for the first time ever, they brought the exact same story to tell!
It totally makes sense, because the story is hilarious, as are these other stories:
-Woman uses bees to assault police in an effort to stop a wrongful eviction.
-Someone is posting hilarious (but fake) signs all over the woods warning people to be nice to Bigfoot, using the official Department logo.
-And an antique vampire hunting kit went up for auction - complete with pistols, crucifix and even a wooden stake!
Then we have another round of "Mannschrecks At The Movies" where Sara and JJ discuss a recent release and this week we are talking TOP GUN: MAVERICK!
All that, plus sponsors and (of course) the Mom Joke of the week!
Don't miss out, new episodes every Friday!
What on earth are we gonna do about all these Christians and their "alternative Halloween" options?
Is the definition of "anti-halloween" secretly just "all the other awesome stuff you can do in the fall"?
Join us in another round of Clever or Cringe as JJ brings Sara some hilarious Christian Halloween decorations and we discuss "alternative" Halloween celebrations.
Of course, before we dive into that silliness - we've GOT to talk about a life size replica of Han Solo made of BREAD and NASA doing more NASA stuff by shooting asteroids out of the sky! It's a great week for bizarre stories.
All that, plus our favorite segments of "Sponsor of Your Life" and a little halloween flavor for the "Mom Joke of the Week"
New Episodes every Friday!
(and remember - never stop Fall-O-Ween Jesus!!)
For a very special 25th episode Sara and JJ play a one time brand new game where we answer 25 questions about one another - Newly Wed Style. (much hilarity ensues)
But first we've GOT to talk about some more crazy news stories!
Including (but not limited to)
- A Wedding Ring Recovered in the yard after a LITERAL hurricane comes through

And it just wouldn't be The Mannschrecks without the Sponsors of our Life and the Mom Joke Of the Week!
Come celebrate our extra special 25th episode!
New Episodes EVERY Friday. :)
Those crazy Mannschrecks are at it again!
First we need to discuss some hilarious world records - whether that's playing soccer at the highest altitude or longest 50/50 grind on a skateboard (while BLIND).
Or you can enjoy our fall inspired Sponsors of Life - because FALL is amazing!
And then we jump into an environmental stewardship conversation about Cultivated meat?!? Would you eat a burger if you knew it did NOT come from a dead animal, but was grown in a lab instead? There's some crazy stuff out there.
And of COURSE we wrap up with the Mom Joke of the Week!
New Episodes Friday Mornings.
For the very first time EVER on the Mannschrecks Podcast we have a visiting GUEST HOST.
David Carlson, aka @thebibleinverse is an epic poet and all around hilarious twitter personality who has been a twitter mutual of JJ's for a long time.
We bring him on to talk about his project over at https://www.davidecarlson.net/the-bible-in-verse. Essentially, he's walking through scripture, retelling it in epic poetic form. It's beautiful stuff and we highly recommend you check it out!
Then we've got a story of an overturned semi in Florida full of beer, some classic sponsors of our lives - and then we introduce a brand new game!
Headline Hustle - Bible Edition is a game where we take obscure bible stories and turn them into "Florida Man" headlines. David had a tweet go viral on that very topic, and so we brought the creator of the game on to see if he can stump us in our bible knowledge (update: he can)
All that and OF COURSE the mom joke of the week - here on another episode of The Mannschrecks!
Have you had a rough week? Have you had a fantastic week?
Either way, you could use a break!
Take a half hour and join us in the place where we go to avoid all the things that have a point!
JJ and Sara tell ridiculous stories, play games and share what's sponsoring their life this week.
(apologies for the weird audio hiccups at the beginning, but it's worth it because in this episode you'll find...)
-Do you know what the world record is for the LARGEST BLANKET FORT?? A Utah town is determined to find out!
-Did medieval people really believe that salting owls and grinding them up into a powder would help the gout? (of course they did)
-Smugglers get BUSTED in an airport when a trail of slime leads to the discovery of almost 100 west African snails in someone's luggage!
Then we return to one of our FAVORITE new games "My Off Brand Childhood" - this week with a new twist!
All that, plus sponsors and the mom joke of the week!
New Episodes every Friday.
Hey-O! It's time for some more goofy fun with your favorite clergy couple!
We've got a pile of crazy news stories to laugh about, and then an awesome game!
A coyote gets into a families bathroom? Yikes!
A Chinese man floats away in a hot air balloon for days? The stuff of nightmares, right there.
Is there going to be a new trend of taking people's ashes and launching them into outer space? JJ thinks maybe, after hearing what happens to Lieutenant Uhura.
and finally we go over a whole PILE of new words Merriam-Webster has added to the official dictionary JUST to make us cringe.
Then we take an 80's country detour into another round of Playlist Puzzles!
(and of course it just WOULDN"T be an awesome episode of the Mannschrecks without the sponsors of our life and the mom joke of the week!)
New Episodes every Friday morning - tell your friends! (but just, like, 1 or 2 friends, not too many)
EPISODE 20!?!?!?!?!?!
We dive right in with some hilarious news stories of various Mayors who are angry with the hoodlum yooths of their towns.
In America a Mayor gets his bike stolen WHILE CAMPAIGNING that bike safety has been a problem.
In Venice a Mayor calls two tourists "imbeciles" after they ride motorized surfboards through the famous Venice Channels.
Then we jump into another round of "Christian Celebrity, Celebrity Christian" and get lost in a fascinating discussion about Christian schooling and the faith of Kanye West.
(and don't forget some more wonderful sponsors of our life AND the mom joke of the week :) )
New Episodes every Friday morning!
Wow this might be an episode for the history books!
As the title hints, the stories just could not get crazier!
Sara and JJ are back with more hilarious stories, more sponsors of life and more games!
A zoo employee dressed like an ostrich getting chased by co-workers who have nets during an "animal escape drill"? That sounds totally normal.
Did a man have to call the fire department to get his arm free from his couch? Of course he did.
Is New York going overboard with their new restrictions on the sales of the dangerous new drug - whipped cream? Or is this just a symptom of the no-common-sense world we live in now?
Also - did you know that there are Air Guitar WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS?!? We didn't either, but we MUST talk about it.
We give "5 Second Summaries" another go'round, and of COURSE - we end with the mom joke of the week.
Whew. I'm winded from just writing that summary.
New Episodes every Friday - take a break from all the things that have a point, tune in and have a laugh with The Mannschrecks!
Hey crazy story we are BACK for MORE!
Your favorite goofy clergy couple is back with some bizarre news stories, epic-ly normal sponsors of life and a brand new game!
This week we ask ourselves "what would you do if a SEAL came in through the kitty door?" and then "can legally beating the system for gambling at Blackjack be considered an honorable job for a man to use to provide for his family?"
Then we introduce a brand new game we just made up - My Off Brand Childhood! A bit of a play on the Midwest moments, we discuss off brand products, and then make up our own "Off Brand" names for our favorite movies.
So kick up your feet because it's time to hit up the place where you go to get away from all those things that have a point.
New Episodes every FRIDAY!!
The Mannschrecks are back once again with more laughs, thoughtful discussion and self deprecating humor!
Our newsdesk is overrun with stories! From old men who have found out that they were accidentally declared dead, to a car thief who tried to hide inside an oversized teddy bear - we've got something for everyone. We also have to learn a new word from Sara - SPLOOTING, and you will literally never guess that that means.
JJ brings in another segment of "It's The End Of The World As We Know It" and we still feel fine! (Did you know that there's an end of the world prophecy about the number of popes?)
Sponsors of our lives are coming in STRONG today, and of course - the Mom Joke Of The Week!
Come check us out and take a break from all those things you do that have a point!
The Mannschrecks are BACK with more crazy antics!
This week in at the newsdeck we dive into some bizarre stories about a big sister stolen at birth, reunited 17 years later, and a prankster physicist who substituted some spanish sausage for a picture of a star!
Then we dive into a fascinating conversation with a brand new segment called Mannschreck Environmental Stewardship Strategies (because we need to talk about this M.E.S.S.) and we cover some creative ways to reduce food waste in our homes. There's no need to light our hair on fire or guilt and shame people - we just want to do the best we can to steward this beautiful world God has given us.
All that - some fresh sponsors of our lives AND OF COURSE - the mom joke of the week.
New Episodes EVERY Friday morning.
Your favorite hilarious clergy couple is back for more here in Episode 15
Today we have two news stories that are quite possibly the MOST bizarre and insane stories we have ever heard of ever. We've got Bigfoot, we've got murder and intrigue, we've got police officers going viral on TikTok with their "Wheel of Fugitives" and we learn a new word "noodling" which is not what you think it is. It's absolutely worth taking a break and tuning in.
Then we introduce a brand new segment called Motto Mystery Mayhem! We examine slogans of Christian products and try to guess what it is. In today's edition, we're looking at VBS curriculum and trying to guess the bible stories they're using based on the motto they have chosen.
Don't forget the Sponsor of our life AND the classic Mom Joke Of The Week - all that and more in this week's episode of THE MANNSCHRECKS!
The Mannschrecks are back for more!
Put up your feet and take a break from all those things that have a point.
This week we have grandma's suing for grandbabies, and people using heartfelt stories of selfless good deeds to SCAM people out of $400,000! It's a crazy world out there.
Then we introduce a BRAND NEW GAME. Well, the game's not new - but it's new for US! It's Five Second Summary: Bible Edition. We each have 5 seconds to describe a bible story WITHOUT names or mentioning the book of the bible, and the other has to guess the story! We had a LOT of fun with it.
And of course, more Sponsors of our lives and Mom Jokes of the week!
New Episodes every Friday morning!
Welcome back for another episode of the Mannschrecks!
This week JJ has a story to tell about a famous sunken Spanish treasure ship that may or may not have inspired a certain favorite 80's movie, and Sara brings us a story from a New York City park that found a unique way to provide lawn care using unusual animals!
After all that craziness, we spend entirely too much time laughing during another segment of "Playlist Puzzles" - where Sara and JJ both bring lyrics and try to trick the other one with the question is it Madonna or Maundy Thursday? Is it Bon Jovi or Bethel worship?
All that and more in the latest and greatest episode of THE MANNSCHRECKS!!
Welcome back for another fun filled episode of the Mannschrecks!

Sponsors of our life, Mom Jokes and more - all here on the latest episode of THE MANNSCHRECKS!!
Despite some weird audio struggles - we are back!
This is one of those episodes where, even after we shut off the microphones, we sat around and talked for another hour solid. Just really fascinating stuff about Christians and Fame and how we engage those tricky areas.
But also - would you trust an election to "rock, paper, scissors"? and what if I told you a strange animal is RAINING FROM THE SKIES in San Francisco?
All this, plus our usual antics (Sponsors of Life and Mom Jokes) here in another episode of THE MANNSCHRECKS!!
The Mannschrecks are BACK with our TENTH episode!!
We celebrate with our tiny group of listeners who we love so much, and reflect on the first couple months of podcasting.
