You're listening to, atheistically speaking. Oh, Hello and welcome to your host Thomas Smith.

Well, today we've got a lot of interesting stuff to talk about.

I'm going to give a brief introduction,

and then you're going to hear that commentary music.

So that could either be a good thing or a bad thing,

depending on which kind of listener you are.

So I have a couple of interviews still banked.

I banked a lot for the wedding.

That's all done by the way marriage went through okay

Everything was good. I don't think I forget how much I talked about anyway

Um, but I've been wanting to do a week that was not interviews because I did do a ton of them.

And I know a lot of different listeners have their different preferences.

Sometimes I do some interviews and people say this is the best, this is why I listen to the show,

and similarly sometimes I do commentary and people say this is why I listen to the show. I know it's it's like

Bob Dylan said Abraham Lincoln said it's hard to please everybody you can't please

everybody all the time but I do like having a variety. I would rather

than please the interview people 100% of the time and just do interviews or

vice versa. I think doing a little bit of each or I guess a lot of each or I guess a lot of each really and giving a variety of people to choose you know for people to choose from is the best alternative because maybe some interview people will stick around for an opinion one and they'll like it and and vice versa so who knows that's my optimistic view of it.

So this week is going to be, or rather this show is going to be some

opinion on a very contentious issue, very contentious issue. And then Thursday I

believe is going to be a portable atheist because I have it's been way too long. I wanted to do at least one a month, but it's like it's been months.

They did the time just gets away from me. It really does. It's absolutely ridiculous how fast time goes.
