A.J. Jacobs, nice to have you here.

I'm good. Good to be here.

If I am here, I want to respect your radical skepticism.

Question, everything for sure.

Trust no one else X-Files isn't it?

That's something completely different.

So maybe you could just start with

Thomas a little bit about what you do.

How did you describe your work?

Sure. I'm a journalist and an author,

and I'm most well known for taking on

these life experiments,

trying things out for a year,

and seeing how they affect me.

My most well-known book is called

The Year of Living Biblically,

where I try to follow all the rules of the Bible

for an entire year.

So the Ten Commandments,

but also grow in a huge beard and stone and adulterous.

The whole dammit.

Full commitment as well.

...
