Summary

Paul Morrissey finishes off our epic 4 hour conversation with him pretty much interviewing me about my desire to move to New York and then a one sided argument about the problems with continuing membership in the Catholic Church. I didn't really go into this part wanting to find anything out specific, so I'm not going to give it a specific Skeptic Tank number, but it was interesting enough for me to want to air. Enjoy.

0:00.0	Alright, here's a deal. I got into a four-hour long discussion with Paul Morrissey, so that's
0:07.4	way too long for a podcast. So I split it up this week. The first third I put out on Monday.
0:13.6	You guys might have heard that. It was about all about Morrissey's college basketball
0:17.8	playing career. And the second third, or period, if you're a hockey player, was all about
0:25.2	him doing the sports for the local news. And that was kind of fun. And then this last
0:31.2	third, which is like an hour and a half, more than a third, if you can do a quick zoom
0:34.8	at in your head, it was just a discussion. I'm just going to include this as like bonus
0:39.8	features. I'm not going to call this a skeptic tank because we didn't specifically go into
0:43.4	any topic that I wanted to. He interviewed me a little bit actually too. But it was fun.
0:50.2	We talked about moving to New York and doing comedy there and the fear that's holding me
0:54.0	back from doing it. And then we talked about Catholicism a little bit and what a horrible
0:58.2	crooked organization I think that's become. And he actually told me some stuff that's
1:04.2	sort of enlighten me. He gave me a way of thinking about Catholics that I hadn't really
1:09.6	thought of before. And that's kind of actually the point of the skeptic tank. It's that
1:16.2	modern skepticism is not to doubt or to think someone is wrong. It's to question. And
1:23.8	to think this might be right, but I want to know about it. So I try to keep an open
1:28.0	mind about things. And he sort of led me to, I don't know, go through like a crisis of
1:32.9	how I feel about how much hatred I have for Catholic. The Catholics and the organization
1:38.1	in general. But listen, it's fun. So December 7th, my Storyteller show, $5 and we give
1:43.5	away a signed, framed copy of the sweet posters that Kevin Christie makes. You can go to my
1:49.4	website for for details and for any sort of road dates that I do, stand up comedy gigs
1:55.5	I do around the country or around Hollywood. It's are either great.com. The next one, the
