0:00.0	Hey, everybody! Hi, friends! Well, from Wintertime in Salt Lake City, Utah, it's
0:22.9	Think I'm Atheist, the podcast. I'm Frank Feldman, and I'm Dan Beacher, and coming up on
0:28.9	the show today, Dan, we're going to be talking about loss and grief. Yeah, and how that's not fun.
0:37.8	It's not fun, but it's like real. Oh, that's when shit is the realest. You don't get to be any
0:46.0	realer than when you're grieving a loss. So we're adding to the cheer of this holiday season
0:53.6	with a talk about something kind of sad. Yeah, so let that be a trigger warning if you need to not

2:14.1	and snacks are terrible. They are dry wafers. It's a communion wafers. You do get some
2:21.7	wine, but a package and it just has two, two little wafers. There's a snack box, you can order.
2:29.1	Your flight attendant will be coming through the cabin with your host.
2:33.8	Oh, no. In Europe, in the UK, don't they call them air hostesses and air hosts?
