| 0:00.0 | You're listening to, atheistically speaking. Oh, Hello everyone welcome to episode 77 of atheistically speaking with your |
| 0:36.1 | host Thomas Smith and lots to talk about as usual So I think I have to comment on there's a bit of I don't |
| 0:46.8 | that's kind of annoying to call it a feud but at the same time I don't is there a better |
| 0:51.7 | word for what's going on between Sam Harris and |
| 0:55.7 | C.J. Whirlaman and I something I I mean CJ's been on the show several times |
| 1:02.1 | and Sam Harris is somebody I talk about a lot so it's I mean I kind of I think it's well very very tied to the show so I want to talk about that. And then I don't know if I did you |
| 1:17.2 | guys justice. I think I might have shortchanged you guys a little on the abortion debate because I got so many comments and I was able to talk about on the air so few |
| 1:31.6 | So I think I might I might look at that again. So but first, you know, I'm sure a lot of people already know about this, but in case you don't, |
| 1:40.0 | CJ who, like I said, been on the show a couple times, very nice guy, but as, as you all know, |

| 2:17.6 | He went on this the young Turks network I guess is a pretty big online thing I've I've seen it a few times but I haven't really paid |
| 2:25.3 | a lot of attention to it. And I believe that's what sort of started this, what I think is like a second phase of feud again weird word because I think |
| 2:38.0 | they're honestly this is not men as any sort of insult towards CJ or any or even like worshiping of |
| 2:44.4 | Sam Harris but I think they're kind of on two different levels they're not you know I |
| 2:47.7 | think that and he would admit that and he actually did and some some things like |
| 2:52.1 | they're they're definitely you know |
| 2:53.7 | Sam Harris has a wider influence and he hadn't heard about CJ until last year |
| 3:00.4 | when CJ wrote a really, you know, a really vitriolic article about Sam Harris, as |
| 3:08.9 | CJ's want to do. |
