| 0:00.0 | You're listening to, atheistically speaking. Oh, Hey everyone. Welcome to episode 35 of atheistically speaking this is your |
| 0:35.3 | host Thomas Smith all right the week we've been waiting for I have Piliucci |
| 0:39.8 | Massimo Piliucci on now I had mainly been wanting to talk to him |
| 0:44.5 | about scientism, but he had a fresh article |
| 0:49.0 | that was somewhat related that he wanted to talk about. |
| 0:52.8 | I'm happy to do so because it was also very interesting. |
| 0:56.3 | However, I asked him a few questions on the article, |
| 1:00.1 | but I don't have quite as much to say on it as I do about the things we talked about later. |
| 1:05.6 | So I'm just letting you know this because the first episode I'm going to go ahead and play about |
| 1:09.6 | as much of the interview as it'll fit and then in Thursday's episode I'm going to play the rest and |
| 1:16.4 | then that's when all the commentary would happen. |
| 1:19.0 | I would like to have it on episode one but because most of the commentary relates to the later part of the interview, |
| 1:26.2 | I'm going to go ahead and have to wait till Thursday. |
| 1:29.0 | So as usual, if you're on Patreon.com slash atheists you can likely already get |
| 1:35.3 | Thursday's episode as soon as you're hearing this so go ahead and do that support |
| 1:40.0 | me support the show and get something in return. Oh on that note, not to keep |
| 1:45.2 | plugging Patreon but instead to plug just simply the bonus material. |
| 1:49.7 | Last week's bonus episode was really fun. It was I had Tracy on to talk about some Ricky |
| 1:55.4 | Jervais tweets and some some things that were interesting issues and it was |
| 2:00.9 | also hilarious so I think you'd really enjoy that if you check it out. |
| 2:06.2 | So but of course that's enough of that and so now let's get to the interview here. It is. Okay, with us today is Massimo Pilaeuchi. How are you this fine evening? |
| 2:34.2 | I am good, thank you. |
