| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. Well, hi, friends, from Salt Lake City, Utah. It's Thank God I'm Atheist, |
| 0:24.0 | the podcast. I'm Frank Feldman, and I'm Dan Beacher, and coming up on the show today, Dan, the |
| 0:31.6 | Pope asked the world to pray to save Pope Emeritus Benedict. Yeah. And God didn't listen. Well, |
| 0:41.0 | it depends. Maybe, maybe some people didn't pray as hard enough. Maybe people weren't that jazzed |
| 0:46.4 | about praying. If you didn't hear about it, which would be shocking at this point, uh, former Pope |
| 0:53.1 | Benedict the 16th has passed away. He was 95 years old, and we're going to be talking about |
| 1:00.8 | all of that in the second half of the show. First though, we have some stories of the news of the |
| 1:06.4 | week and whatnot. Yes, some various things. By the way, I just want to get this out of the way |
| 1:11.2 | in the front. I am getting over a cold. Oh, Dan, please pardon any, any grossness that you hear |
| 1:19.0 | in my voice. I'll try and just keep it low and sexy. Yeah, just keep it to yourself, Dan. |

| 1:31.8 | Something happened here in the state of Utah, Dan, our Supreme Court heard a case having to |
| 1:39.5 | do with parental rights, I suppose. It involved the case of a former polygamist woman who had divorced |
| 1:50.0 | her still polygamist husband, who's a member of the Kingston group known as the order. The order. |
| 2:02.1 | This is not the these people, whatever you've seen, everyone on TV about the fundamentalist |
| 2:09.1 | church Jews, Christ's Library Saints. That's this, but probably a little worse, right? A little |
| 2:14.7 | creepier in some ways. It's hard to say. Like it's literally there are many different little tiny |
| 2:21.6 | baby scary sects of fundamentalist Mormonism. So don't think that you have them all figured out |
| 2:27.5 | because you don't. They're hard to keep track of. I will say I used to live down the street from |
| 2:32.6 | some Kingston's, but there you go. They were fine. Anyway, the court overturned a previous |
| 2:45.6 | ruling from a lower court that had granted primary custody to the children's mother and had also |
| 2:56.4 | barred the ex-husband from discussing religion, essentially, with any of the children. |
