This episode of Cognitive Dissinence 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 Dissence.

Every episode we blasts 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 the day you're

listening to this. That's what day it is. We're recording it on December 5th. Doesn't matter. We're talking

long form. This is an evergreen episode, Cecil. It's evergreen because I don't think the

Catholics are going to change the way they're picking their saints anytime soon.

I think you might even be able to become a saint if you can touch things and turn them evergreen.

We got to talk about this.

Cecil, so just a little peek behind the curtain.

Every month, Cecil sends me, I don't know, four, five, six, whatever he comes up with,

whatever looks interesting to him, long form article ideas.

And I don't read each one of them, but I'll look at him, skim him over and decide which

ones,

you know, we might want to cover. And I get to make the final decision on that.

And when I saw this one, I was like, oh, hell, yes. This is the one.

This feels like, like we could just make this a citation needed episode. It to me, it feels like, you could just read this and add interjections and it could absolutely be a citation

needed episode.
