0:00.0 | Hey, everybody! Hi, friends! Well from beautiful Salt Lake City, Utah. It's Thank God I'm Atheist. The podcast, I'm Frank Thelmon, and I'm Dan Beacher. |
0:29.0 | And coming up on our show today, we're going to be talking about Katanji Brown-Jackson's hearing in front of us. |
0:38.0 | Yes, the Senate Committee, Judicial Committee, and the performance, and it was a performance of one Senator Lindsey Graham. |
0:48.0 | You know what? The performance thing is right because all of this is literally, like they use, they toss around the term political theater, which this undoubtedly is. |
0:59.0 | But the thing about political theater is that all the actors are bad. It's bad theater. You don't want to go to that. I'm sad that my tax dollars inherently pay for it. |
1:13.0 | Yeah, and the same people who refuse to fund the arts. Right? And yeah, that'll be coming up on the second half of the show. |
1:22.0 | But first, Dan, we got some stories, some things happened this week, we need to share it. I'm gonna talk about. |

2:07.0 | Heart attack inducing, did you know that? But they're like statistically more heart attacks and audible bill accidents in the few days after the change. |

2:56.0 | To this development, saying that they were blindsided, which is Jews, American Jews. |
3:05.0 | Oh, and let me tell you that had like caught my attention because I was like, how? |
3:12.0 | Why? Why? |
3:16.0 | You guys have been around for a long time. You know that for most of that time, you were fine with just one time. |
3:23.0 | Yeah. Well, it has to do with how in the winter, if this does officially pass Congress, our mornings are going to be dark. |
