Gahe, humans. Welcome to the safe space for dangerous ideas. And another sermon from your best buddy, your best pal, your mentor, extraordinary. The Reverend, the Reverend Doctor, Rabbi Imam, Zeps. I feel like maybe there's been a little bit of negativity in the world, or maybe

there's a little bit of negativity creeping into your news feed, because they're sure as heck is

in mine. We've got the Iran situation, we've got petrol prices, we've got inflation, we've got
