Summary

A couple of weeks ago, Jack took part in a debate at Oriel College, University of Oxford, with Stephen Law on the evil-god challenge. It was a fantastic discussion, full of thought-provoking arguments and brilliant questions from the audience. It was also set to be our final episode on the topic. Unfortunately, due to Oxford’s unforeseen technical issues, the audio from the debate couldn’t be used.

This left us in a bit of a pickle. After nearly nine years of The Panpsycast, we’ve never missed a scheduled release, and we weren’t about to start now. So, instead of the debate, Jack and Olly had a wide-ranging one-to-one conversation on all things philosophy. We took the opportunity to dive into over three years’ worth of audience questions that we hadn’t yet had the chance to answer…until now.

As always, thank you for your support. We hope you enjoy the show!

0:00.0	A couple of weeks ago, Jack took part in a debate at Aureole College, University of Oxford, with Stephen Law on the Evil God Challenge.
0:16.0	It was a fantastic discussion full of thought-provoking arguments and brilliant questions from the audience. It was also set to be our final episode on the topic. Unfortunately, due
0:25.7	to Oxford's unforeseen technical issues, the audio from the debate couldn't be used. This
0:30.2	left us in a bit of a pickle. After nearly nine years of the pan sidecast, we've never missed
0:34.5	a scheduled release, and we weren't about to start now. So, instead
0:38.6	of the debate, I sat down with Jack for a wide-ranging one-to-one conversation on all things
0:43.2	philosophy. We also took the opportunity to dive into three years' worth of audience questions
0:47.7	that we hadn't yet had the chance to answer. Until now. As always, thank you for your support.
0:53.6	We hope you enjoy the show. Hello and welcome to episode 139 of the Pants Eyecast.
1:23.4	I'm Jack Symes and I'm delighted to be joined once again by the man with the answer to all of our questions.
1:30.0	It's Mr. Olly Marley.
1:32.3	Hello.
1:33.5	Here we are then, Ollie.
1:34.8	This is the first time, I believe, it's just me and you.
1:37.6	In 139 episodes, there's never been a conversation with just the two of us.
1:43.4	Just the two of us. How are you feeling about it? Apprehensive, anxious, worried. Who knows what's going to happen? No, it's lovely, Jack. It's obviously lovely to have the pleasure of your company. You're one of my oldest and dearest friends. So it's wonderful to have a chat with you with just the two of us, and with our dear audience listening. Hopefully they'll get a true insight into what our
2:04.3	conversations are actually like, maybe less in jokes and bizarre singing, but I'm sure maybe we
2:10.3	can squeeze some in if that's what they really want. Yeah, I imagine we probably won't cover
2:14.3	the ontological argument, which is normally the centre of all that conversation.
2:17.3	Thankfully. And hopefully the audio is a lot better than our Christmas special and straight after
2:24.3	our Christmas special the facts that one of the microphones from the Oxford debate Stephen Law's
2:30.7	microphone which was going to be our episode today was completely unusable.
