Farming, Mediocrity, and Trust

Author: John Driver and Jonnie W., Christian Comedy Creatives January 8, 2026 Duration: 49:14

John listens to one of his daughter's favorite podcasts and ponders why someone would want to buy Hitler's old car.

Meanwhile, Jonnie resolves to be mediocre in 2026 and tells us how both President Bushes had embarrassing moments exactly 10 years apart.

Plus, a conversation about not losing hope when a season of life ends, and the importance of trusting God.

Today's episode is NOT sponsored by DoorDash: "This burger is cold, but at least it also cost $57."

Ever find yourself in a conversation that starts with a simple question and then spirals into something wonderfully unexpected? That’s the feeling you get with Talk About That. Hosted by John Driver, a writer and former history teacher, and his best friend, the comedian Jonnie W., this podcast captures the dynamic of two friends who genuinely love to dig into ideas. Their backgrounds as Christian comedy creatives inform their perspective, but the discussions are far from one-note. You’ll hear them weave between a historical deep dive, a breakdown of a current cultural moment, and a personal story about faith, all threaded together with a consistent, warm humor. The result is a series of conversations that feel both hilariously real and surprisingly insightful, precisely because they aren’t trying to force a point. Listening feels like pulling up a chair at a coffee shop with two of the most engaging, quirky thinkers you know. Each episode of this podcast is a reminder that the biggest topics-life, belief, history, and what’s happening right now-are best explored with curiosity, friendship, and a good laugh. It’s that rare blend of cerebral and accessible, where genuine insight comes packaged in genuine comedy.
