The

The Well, greetings and welcome to the dividing line road trip dividing line, still in flower mound, Texas.

And we have the debate coming up on Friday and I will be the middle of three debates on Friday and so I'll already be all

be all warmed up because Eli Ayala will be debating my old nemesis Dan Barker.

I hope Eli doesn't quote from any of Dan's books,

especially if Dan is selling them at the event at a table or something.

If you don't know the background of that, don't worry about.

Dan and I go back to the 1980s, 1985-ish, 86, 87, somewhere in there, 1980s on the Tom

Likas show in Phoenix. And so we've been going at it for a long time.

We exchanged letters.

Yes, by the U.S. Postal Service, printed out on a dot matrix printer and put into an envelope.

And for you young people, you then would lick the envelope.

Yeah. There's this adhesive strip. When you lick it, it became sticky. You close the envelope. You put a little sticky stamp on. And that probably was still back when you actually had to lick the stamp too. Yep. That's how long ago that was. And yeah, we did some of that. And then we did two formal debates.

One, the University of Illinois.

And then a second one, which we call the don't quote me bro debate.

And that was when I decided that debating Dan Barker wasn't a good idea any longer, and so we haven't done that

since then. But anyway, that debate will be starting in the morning, and then after lunch,

I'll be debating Unitarianism, and then the evening debate, I'm pretty sure, yeah, is Avery, you know, GodLogic versus Jake Brankatella,

who I've debated as well. We did that debate on the dividing line. I think that's on our

list because I happen to run across the presentation I made for it.

So I think it would count as one of the debates.

I think we counted it.
