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 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, August the 29th when we are recording this.

And Cecil, did you know, I just found this out today, maybe you already knew this,

if you spend enough money buying stupid fucking Trump playing cards,

you can get a copy or a piece, a cut-up piece of the suit that he wore that he got shot in

We know the one that he wore debating Biden he calls it his victory suit. Oh he didn didn't cut up the one he got shot at it?

No, no, it was probably soiled.

Ha ha ha!

Which, to be fair, if somebody shot at me, I would 100% ship myself.

If I didn't shit it then, I would just throw it in the toilet and shit on that. If I didn't shit it then, I would just throw it in the toilet and shit on that.

Like I want to say, like all terrible things aside, I don't want to pretend I'm some

fucking macho man who if somebody shot bullets at my head I'd be like well I wouldn't

care no no Tom Curry would shit and shit and never stop shooting I would just

shit now you ever see those people with those like water jests on their feet and they jump?
