This episode of Cognitive Dissonance 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 Gloryhole Studios in Chicago and beyond, this is Cognitive Dissonance.

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, 626 of Cognitive Dissonance.

It's CISL.

Yeah.

We are joined today by a very special guest who we have not had on the show in over three years,

but what three and a half years, it's like this three and a half years, yeah.

Dave Warnock, welcome back to the show, my friend.

Tell the people who you are if they don't remember exactly who you might be.

Well, yes, I have discovered that there are a few people out there that don't know who I am.

I can't believe it.

Yeah, I don't understand.

But a little over three years ago, I was diagnosed with ALS.

I've been an atheist.
