0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Bridge of Boys podcast. Today, I'm interviewing an atheist who also happens to love religion. Jared Smith is one of my favorite YouTube creators right now. He's a one-man metal band and the mind behind the hit series, Atheist Church Audit. |
0:15.9 | Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to another thrilling episode of atheist, mother dang church audit, |
0:23.1 | where he visits churches and religious communities, usually without any prior research |

1:10.5 | Although if he did make a video like that, I would probably watch it because knowing him, |
1:14.7 | it would be super entertaining. |
1:16.4 | The reality is that Jared doesn't avoid using snarky humor that's often hilarious when he's |
1:20.8 | talking about some of these organizations. |
1:22.8 | Is this the Summer Olympics in Moscow under the Soviet Union in 1980? |
1:27.2 | Because I sure do see a lot of |
