It was hilarious to hear Laurie, who kind of knew what she was talking about, and Tom, who had no idea what she was talking about, discuss Pit Preachers, something I know all too much about.
There are a set of itinerant and exclusively fire-and-brimstone preachers who travel around the campuses in North Carolina and scream at the students that they are going to hell for various sins, including wearing shorts (particularly if you're a lady), masturbation, fellatio, fornication, not believing in Jesus, you name it.
The most famous Pit Preacher (named for the two-foot-deep recessed area between the main cafeteria and the Student Stores on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus) is named Gary Birdsong.
Look him up and learn, people. No, don't. But Laurie, you should look him up. He occasionally gets knocked around when he insults a football player's girlfriend.
