Hello and welcome to episode well I don't know what the episode number is of the Thinking Alsat podcast.

In Los Angeles, I'm Nathan Fox.

With me in Washington, D.C. is Ben Olson.

Ben, you want to give the listeners a peek behind the curtain and tell them why there's no episode number?

Yeah, we're having trouble counting.

We've done so many.

We've given you so much.

Yeah.

No, so what we're doing is we're recording a, like a backup episode right now, I guess you could call it that,

where we're going to talk about a reading comp passage from the June 2007 L-SAT so if Nathan gets sick or I get tired I don't

never get sick or one of us you know just decides that we hate the other so much that we can't record

an episode that week, you know, we'll reconcile pretty quickly.

Then we can pull out this this episode from the can and add it to the

podcasts so that acts of God mudslides earthquakes power, power outages.

Did you just say God because, I thought you were...

It's a figure of speech.

I knew you're a hidden non-athist.

I also say God damn it a lot, but I don't, I'm not in any way blaspheming God

when I say God damn it. God is a holy fictional character in my book.

So if someone says God damn it, does that mean that they're damning God and that's blackness?

Or does it mean that they want God to invoke, you know,

hellfire and damnation upon whatever it is that they're damning? So then how is that blast
