The StoryMen welcome JR.’s tattoo artist and friend Lars Van Zandt to talk about the world of tattooing. We discuss the history of tattooing, how the industry has changed and what they’re all about. Plus, Pixar’s Grand Unified Theory, just because we can.

The StoryMen tell some jokes, and then dive into a very serious subject: if aliens do exist (of course they do!), are they fallen? Does Jesus' death and resurrection redeem them, too? A fun conversation about exotheology turns to how we think about those who are different from us, and what makes us human.
The StoryMen Season 4 brings more guests, wilder topics and big changes in the Storyverse!
