Childhood should be fun. Don't let bed wetting spoil that. Dry nights give maximum protection.

0:10.5

So kids can go to bed where we free. Have a dry night sleep. And wake up awesome.

Days start with dry nights. Search dry nights for a free sample.

You know I was an atheist for 10 years and one of the reasons that I was an atheist is the very

0:54.5

unfortunate timing that I was a 13 year old boy when Christopher Hitchens got really really

1:00.2

popular for being an atheist. And I remember at the time there were all those new atheists,

1:06.5

the forehorsement of the atheist apocalypse, Daniel Dennett, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris,
