All right, for today's episode, I've got a fantastic guest in The One Janitor, or Kevin, is his name,

0:42.0

but The One Janitor is his YouTube handle and he is a progressive

0:45.6

youtuber which is I don't know if I want to say it's a rarity but it's certainly not the

0:50.3

dominant voice on YouTube at least in my experience or YouTube atheism that is
