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 not. 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 today is Thursday August the 1st

Cecil I had an experience this week I got for the first time in my life, I got a call from one of those

like, would you like to take a political poll survey? Oh, that's cool. And you did it.

I did it. There's some like, there's like some civic things I've never I've never been on a jury.

I've always wanted to be on a jury. Have you ever been called to be like in the pool of jurors? I have but I've never actually even gone to the courthouse.

Me. I've never been been in the actual room where they ask you questions.

I've only ever made it.

I've been called three times,

but I've only ever made it to the waiting room

and then it got dismissed.

I didn't even go, I like, I got called into jury duty the same day as like finals in college.

So I called and was like, hey, I got finals, I can't do it.

And they're like, yeah, that's fine.

And so they said, we'll just you know put you

back in the pool and like reacted and then literally like 25 years passed and like nothing

and I was like Jesus all right and then I got one this and it was for like a summons and it was like the same like day we were going to be like at Mayo Clinic.

And so I called him and I'm like, I'm going to be out of town like for a doctor's appointment like at Mayo. And they're like, yeah,'ll put you back and I'm like so I got away in the 25 years.
