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

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.

Recording live from glory hole studios, partially in Chicago, studios back online bitches.

Hot damn. What's up, motherfuckers?

This is Cognitive Disnance.

Every episode we blast anyone who gets in our way, we bring critical thinking, skepticism,

and irreverence to any topic that makes the news, makes it big or makes us mad.

It's skeptical, it's political, and there is no welcome at this episode, 531 Cognitive Disnance, Cecil.

Yeah, and this week we're doing something like, well, so would we have recorded Tom and I back a while ago,

gosh, this was maybe three months ago, almost three months ago, Tom, we had decided we were going to do a long form episode.

That long form episode was going to be put in sort of a bank, sort of in the archive, until we needed it,

in case one of us, genuinely, in case one of us got COVID, was the main idea behind it.

We have successfully dodged COVID up till now, and we also needed some time this week,

so we decided to break into the bank and use the bank episode, the long form episode that we recorded on human trafficking and pornography,

and it's really just a crazy long conversation that goes in a lot of different directions.

It didn't really go in one direction.

Yeah, and so, you know, we kind of decided to talk about this in part because of the news that broke today.

It's kind of everywhere, but CNN has it.

Ron Jeremy porn star, charge was sexually assaulting four women.

Yeah.

So, you know, it's, it's a crazy fucking sad and shitty and depressing article.
