Devon and Trinket (Traditional Scrench) join the lads for some adventures in Christian puppetry as they dive into the rich tapestry of Bible stories and malevolent paint brush gods that is: Gerbert. Topics include UK children’s programming, the militarism of evangelical ideology, and the dangers of giving tuppence to birds.

The skit voice for the paintbrush was so close it took me a while to realize it was a bit

Nemo

I lost it at "Gerbert wasn't created ... he was found"

MuppetImp

I can't believe the anti-fabricated persons attitudes that they brought to this week's episode. Why don't they go full masks-off and call them socks? On a lighter note, watch Jim Henson's A Christmas Toy. Frozen toys can come back.

Förfäders spår

it’s honestly despicable, I should’ve known that this would happen when they decided to cover this topic without a single FP voice represented on the show

Amy Godliman

So the Gerbert puppet has the same origin story as the Henry’s baby puppet from Eraserhead, just laying that one out there.

Kapjak

As Mr. Kaiser's appearance was never mentioned I'll continue to imagine him wearing a pickelhaube and a huge mustace

Nemo

his family came over from Germany in 1919

Breathplay

Oh perfect I was just looking for something to listen to today while I take the bar off of a chainsaw

Ben

So we are getting the “Gerbert’s Ceaseless Patriotism Celebration” series right? Two episodes a month dedicated to evangelicals christian children entertainment.

Dergon

Gerbert was gonna be the basis for the new season of Channel Zero but it was too scary and orange, so they canceled the show.

Bruce

i was in a youth puppet ministry for most of my time growing up. we went to an international puppet ministry convention called I-Fest. still got some old puppets at my parents' house

zetsubunn

I really don't like that gerbert is the episode that finally made me subscribe.

Dergon

I got asked once to help with the singing puppets as a kid. I had an old man puppet with his arms sewn together so he could hold something, found a root beer bottle with the labels removed. Placed bottle in puppet arms and made him take a few swigs during the songs. I was not asked to help again...

Radio Free Tote Bag

The psychic toll this episode has taken on me and I'm only 30 mins in

Heather

Fascinated also by this world where “special needs” meant poor. Like I’m about the same age as the hosts (I think) and it was firmly entrenched as an ableist slur for my whole childhood, if I remember correctly.

2026-09-07 00:00 I have dim memories of Gerbert that my mind was trying desperately to suppress.

'Bortion Scott Card

Any of the Boys' Bible Study hosts would make excellent TWOAPW guests. Just putting it out there.

Majestic Affect

I had to go watch a Binney Brush compilation... The audio alone does not do it justice.

Korax

I can't wait for next week's episode covering Greg the Bunny.

Curtis F.

This made me rewatch one of the Brutalmoose gerbert vids and in it gerbert does sadly say he's adopted, which crushes the theories about the implied puppet human romance. However, it does shine a light on the struggles of a human parent raising a puppet child, which is a common but overlooked element of American culture.

Dergon

When I was a kid PBS was still playing reruns of the 70s show The Letter People. I found it fascinatingly unsettling. Just look up Mr. T and his Tall Teeth

Max

I am convinced that this episode is just a two hour AJ sketch and that Gerbert never existed.

Jonathan V. Cann

Yessss other people know The Christmas Toy! In addition to just being great, because it was sponsored by Kraft, where you'd normally have commercial breaks, they instead aired unhinged Kraft recipes for "festive" dishes (a.k.a. crushed potato chips mixed with margarine)

Elizabeth Power

AJ, I only know who Sandi Patti is because I have listened to too many podcasts and things about evangelicals. But you genuinely should look her up, she actually has a great voice and in a parallel universe would be excellent in musicals! She is apparently one of Kristin Chenoweth’s inspirations.

Jimmy McMillan

I've never heard of Gerbert before. Is anyone familiar with the Donut Man or Quigley's Village? Those were my christian puppet shows growing up. I'd love to hear an episode on one of those

Adam Kelly

I shouted and laughed in the car when AJ said "at double speed the songs sound like Vampire Weekend"

Nyeaustin

Oh man, I normally know everything evangelical you guys talk about but Gerbert is new to me. Thank you for this 🙏

YOU

The Donut Man’s music is on Spotify in the US, listening to those songs awakens me like The Manchurian Candidate (for God)

YOU

I knew this fucker was real. I worked at RBC Ministries in Grand Rapids (Our Daily Bread now) as a broadcast intern and have stirring memories of puppeteers and Christian media.

YOU

I was NOT ready for the real actual energy of the brush guy.

Grouchiest Marxiest

Jesus CHRIST Quigleys Village is like a repressed memory.

The Worst of All Possible Worlds

fun fact about that: sandi patti has a broadway standards album. her voice is well suited to r&h but she has no idea how to approach sondheim

TalkGibberish

oh man, puppet ministries. In Grand Rapids, there was a missions organization called MOSES. We did missions trips to mexico and would do puppets with a pre-recorded skit in spanish. I went on SOO many trips with them, and in retrospect, it was pure torture for me.

IHateBrianAlflord

Much like Brian Alford, Gerbert should be put to death.

Andrew T. Wilson

I hope moving swiftly past the relationship between CBN and Tatsunoko represents an intent to do a Superbook/Flying House episode in the future, because the story of that relationship (a successful anime studio obsessed with breaking into the American market, evangelists wanting to spread their ideology to a new nation) endlessly fascinating.

Thom Coté

If you've seen "I Saw the TV Glow", the look of Binney Brush is giving me big Mr. Melancholy vibes for some reason.... don't like that.

Maple

Brian’s never been more relatable for me personally than during the brief rant about respect for clowning, I felt that “I’m not doing a JOKE here” in my SOUL🙌🏻

Zipzapzop

Also the English dub is fucking hilarious

P.A.L.

It took me *far* too long to realise that was an interstitial and I was fucking rolling with laughter

FelineJay

I often use a playlist of Brutal Moose videos as a sleep aid. His Gerbert videos are not in that playlist. I don't need that sentient nugget invading my nightmares
