Welcome to Straight White American Jesus. My name is Brad O'Nishi, Associate Professor Religious Studies, Goodmoor College, and here with my co-host.

I'm Dan Miller, Associate Professor of Religion and Social Thought at Landmark College.

Brad, it's good to see you.

It's another slow, trivial newsweek with nothing to report and nothing going on in our personal lives impinging on reality or anything else.

So I hope you're well.

Yeah, no, I've been napping.

Just been really stressed about, man, we don't have enough material to do here and just, yeah, it's been, no, the semester started.

Both of us are teaching, both of us are stressed, and then beyond personal things.

The, just the fire hose of news this week is astounding and Dan I know you've been

trying your best this week to adjust to online teaching and getting kids that Taekwondo and all that.

My partner and I actually evacuated our house in San Jose because of the fires.

So we were not in the mandatory zone, it was it was just a lot and so

both of us have had a pretty busy week here we are we're recording later than usual

we're actually recording at cocktail hour rather than at coffee hour.

So if you feel us getting punchy out there and you're listening and you feel as if we're losing it a little bit,

it's just because we're now moving into Friday evening rather than

Friday morning so or if you don't already play like some sort of straight white

American Jesus drinking game like you know it's it's past five o'clock when we're recording so whenever you're listening to this accounts it's fine just take up your drink and and go to it a hint is that the fall wells will be back but we'll get to that.

Well let's yeah I mean you, one thing I've learned over the last month

then is that if you and I wanted something to happen,

we should just get on this show for three weeks and be like,

well, that's coming to an end, okay.
