0:00.0	Hey, everybody. Hi, friends. Well, from...unseasonably snowy Salt Lake City, Utah. It's
0:24.4	thank God I'm atheist, the podcast. I'm Frank Feldman, and I'm Dan Beecher, and coming up on the show at
0:32.2	today, Dan, it's Easter, our favorite holiday. It's the most Easter time of the year. It was always a
0:42.5	confusing holiday to me as a kid. It is a very confusing, people don't talk about that. It is a very
0:48.7	confusing holiday. Sometimes you cross the streams and some weird shit happens. Yeah, and so we're
0:56.4	going to be talking about that on the second half of the show. But first, some stories from the week.

2:30.0	Right. Right. There at the base of a new skyscraper in Salt Lake City. Yeah. And so they had a
2:38.8	big housewarming this last week and they are just so proud, Dan. They're really so proud. I'm
