This episode of Cognitive Dissonance is brought to you by our patrons, you fucking rock.

Hey, everyone. I just wanted to call and comment on the lady who had an explanation for why

people find comfort when loved ones die in religion. I totally understand what she's saying.

The only thing I would say about that is people who have died are just taking a long time

and a long time suffering. I can totally understand why somebody would find comfort in religion at that point.

Knowing that or thinking that they know that their loved one is no longer suffering and that they have more ahead of them,

but happy and not in the horrible place that they were. I can imagine what just a great deal of relief.

Whereas having lost my father as an atheist, seeing his last month being nothing but suffering and having the belief that, you know, that's the it.

I totally understand why I would say, bring somebody comfort with things that are in a better place, that they're happy and healthy.

Just wanted to call and put in my two thanks to Floril.

Hey, guys. John in California. I've called a few times.

I figured when I was in the Navy, I went in in 86 to 90. You meet so many people from so many places when you go on the military that I would meet somebody from Idaho.

I had never met anybody. I've met a couple of people that claim to be from Idaho since then, but I still don't believe it.

I've never seen Idaho. This is what I kind of deduced when I was in the Navy.

If you went to the Idaho State Line, where it says Idaho State Line, look at that sign, look at the turn around, walk past it and look back at the other side,

it'll say, welcome to Idaho. It's just, I don't think it really exists. I think it's like a twilight zone kind of thing.

And for that's what I had to say. Bye. Glory for you.

Be advised that this show is not for children, the faint of heart, or the easily offended. The explicit tag is there for a reason.

I got to hold on. Hold on. I got interrupted because it's not just Chicago. It's draft central Chicago.

I don't really understand that.

The roads today, the roads today, well, they're NFL draft is in Chicago. So they're the roads today, down where I was at, we're just a complete snarl.

Like everything was completely fucking closed down. There was like millions of road closures and everybody was just going to go stand and watch people hold jerseys as they got drafted.
