Oh my god, it's so hot outside.

To the Atheist Mobile!

Catch! Catch. Hello and welcome to talk heathen. Hello and welcome to Talk Heathen.

Welcome to our live studio audience and welcome to this week's special guest, Jim Hilton.

Jim, how you doing?

I'm doing wonderful. Thanks for having me on.

Yeah, thanks for coming down.

You stopped by Austin, actually, for a whole host of reasons.

Unless I'm mistaken, recently spoke as the inaugural speaker in the relaunch of the ACA speaker series.

Yes, I did.

I was very excited.

I've done eight cities and seven days here in Texas, and this is my last city, so it's been a wonderful trip. Wow, that's usually the number of days and events is opposite. Yeah, number of events was about 12. Wow. All right. You work harder than I do.

Are you looking for a job? We're looking to hire here.

Actually, I'm good. I am the national field organizer for American Athea.

Cool. Yeah. And how many days actually are you on the road a year? And what does that entail?

It is increasing. So I go out to local groups trying to help them with grassroots activism, help them and provide support to the local groups that are trying to get involved with their communities. And I've been traveling more and more. Every couple weeks, it seems like I'm on the road now. Cool. That's exciting. Yeah. You were telling me that you've been on the road for, I forget how many hours you said it was. In Texas, this week I've been in the road. Vicki, the state director, and I've been on the road for, I forget how many hours you said it was?

In Texas, this week I've been in the road.

Vicki, the state director, and I have been on the road about 24 hours.

The entire day this week has been spent driving through Texas without ever leaving Texas.

Oh, wow.

Yeah, well, I mean, it's a big enough state and there's enough activism to go around, I think.

Yes, quite a bit.
