You're listening to, atheistically speaking. I'm your Hello, welcome to atheistically speaking.

Episode 39, I'm your host Thomas Smith.

All right, for this episode, we have a bit of a hodgepodge.

Things are a little, they're a little interesting because I wanted to get Blake back on the show because he just had his segment, his debate on dogma debate which was a marathon it was something like five

hours long and I just I wanted to talk to him about a couple things involved in that debate.

So I wanted to get him on, but I didn't know exactly what that was going to be.

I didn't really set up any format for it.

It wasn't another debate, I just said, hey, Blake, let's sort of talk about this. So it ended up a little weird. It was a long discussion, but it was very, very fluid and, well, I guess maybe maybe actually the opposite of fluid it was it was

sort of it went so many different places that I'm not I don't think I'm comfortable

with using a lot of it for a main episode of this show because I loved it I thought it was an interesting conversation but there were so many different things that we branched off and just didn't get back to or he would mention things that I've never I have arguments I'm not really familiar with so I didn't honestly didn't have much to say on them on the fly so

So that being said I'm going to play the on the

show so that being said I'm going to play the first 40 minutes where we talk about the show and we we debated a few things that I thought were interesting and then I'm going to cut it off because from there it sort of goes a little crazy and then this week the main thing this week I have Harley on

listener of the show listener of both my shows, great guy.

He also happens to be an ex-Jhova's witness.

And some of you out there might know

that that can be a troublesome thing to be because it is a very,

it's a very controlling religion pretty much and his, the interview with Harley was fantastic fantastic I'm really excited about it but due to time I'm going to just play the first little bit at the end of this episode and then Thursday is going to be the rest of that interview. So look forward to that. And again, if you're on

premium, then you can get access to Thursday right away so you won't even notice. You'll just think

it's a great two-guessed week, which it is, but you won't have the little

hicup just because of timing. Otherwise I'd release one episode that was 40 minutes and another that was 80, but because of like file size and stuff, you know, the 80, once it gets to be that large for Thursday, then the quality starts going down the audio quality.

So I've decided to do it this way.

Apologies if anyone is terribly offended. So I've decided to do it this way.
