This episode of Cognitive Dissidence is brought to you by our patrons. You fucking rock.

Be advised that this show is not for children, faint of heart or the easily offended.

The explicit tag is there for a reason. Oh, well, it's a good one.

Wow. Oh, well. Recording live from Glory Hole Studios in Chicago and beyond. This is cognitive distance.

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 today is Thursday November 21st and Cecil at the end of our show today.

We have actually wrapped up we have concluded another

phenomenally successful almost embarrassingly wonderful vulgarity for charity

drive yeah yeah really great stuff, really great amazing outpouring by the by the people who

listen to this show and the scathing atheist. We do not have a total yet, but but we will have that total by Monday when you hear this and

when you when you hear the segment at the end Ian will announce that total.

And so in keeping with Vulgarity for charity we we are going to have a segment, the fine folks from the puzzle on a thunderstorm crew.

That would be Eli Noah and Heath.

Well, just Eli and Heath because Noah had, uh,

Noah had, yeah, no I had to take a break.

You know what thing is here's the thing, Cecil.

There you go, his poor little ticker.

You know like in the Grinch, like in the Grinch where like your heart is too, his hardest

two sizes too small, then it grows.
