Hello and welcome to Something's Off with Andrew Heaton. I'm your host Andrew Heaton for now.

0:17.0

And momentarily I will be bringing on Jonathan Braylock.

0:20.0

He is the host of Black Men Can't Jump Podcast and a comedian and we're going to talk about Bible literacy in public schools.

0:28.0

A quick warning, I don't think I'm going to do listener feedback today.

0:32.0

It is not because your feedback has been poor in any capacity. Rather, it's

slow moving creatures are in constant danger from poachers. Poachers who hunt them to make two pays.

1:34.0

And that demand comes from monstrous bald men,

like Charlie Sheen, Jean Simmons,

1:40.0

and Ben Affleck, all of whom are neck deep in the sloth trade, probably.

Sloth poachers hunting for Tupays have all but eradicated Arctic and desert sloths.

1:51.9

The last prairie sloth was cited in Ricketts, Iowa in 1952. Today

1:56.4

sloths are almost entirely confined to Central and South American rainforests where
