Welcome to the Brandt & Sherry Oddcast sponsored by Fellowship Boom Loads to order Brandt's latest book, The Men We Need, or

Distream Sherries Play. The bold and the sanctified go to Brandhanson.com.

Hey, what's up? My name is Brandt, producer Sherries here too.

Coming up, we're going to do another joke-telling masterclass.

Now, when you got your accolade for the masterclass, you seem to be riding high on that.

That was.

It feels like perhaps the glow of that is dimming.

Why is the glow dimming? I think it's because I've repeatedly bombed the sun in spectacular fashion.

Well, that's the life of comedy, Brandt.

Cricket city.

My mailing address.

You're going to try again.

Yes, I am.

There may not be anything more important than what I think about or what you think about when you think about God.

In terms of who you are, what do you think about?

The problem is there's so many caricatures out there that it's hard maybe to see him as he really is,

but it's so important.

Like, especially if you grow up in a religious system that kind of toxic or something,

you might think of the character of a god's, this sheriff in the sky.

He's really ticked off all the time at me looking for me to make mistakes.

We can blast me.

Or there's another caricature which is he's this harmless god who would never punish anyone.
