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 Glory Hole 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, 656 in Cecil!

Today, it is the triumphant return of the roast of Algarity for charity.

We have done our first record of some, I would say, extremely high quality, long awaited.

Low quality. There are some written and read roasts.

We did some things out loud and we wrote something loud.

Here's the thing.

Algarity for charity is kicking off and we were joined later on this episode with Heath, Noah and Eli from the Scathing Atheist.

We team up every year, sometimes it lasts two years, but every year we team up to do this vulgarity for charity with them.

And we are at this point, I can tell you for sure, we're over $200,000.

Later on in the show, we're going to say it again, and there's a chance we're even higher by then, because this won't be posted until right on.

And we're still doing our charity stream tonight. So there's a lot going on and it's been a great, great outpouring of support.

So if you haven't today's Monday that this is releasing, you haven't donated, you still have until Thursday, thanksgiving in America to donate and help someone out.

So all you can do is donate $50 or more.

It gets you eligible to get picked for roast. We're picking 100 random roasts out of the pot, and I'm telling you right now, there's not a ton of people that have joined in.

There's a lot of money that's been given, but not a ton of people. So there's a chance your roast gets picked.

Your odds are excellent. So we're doing the top 100 donors and a random smattering of the next 100s or 200 donors.
