You're listening to serious inquiries only. I'm your host Thomas Smith and a couple things. First off, I just wanted to say I got a ton of response about the circumcision episode. I was a little on the fence. You know, it's a weird thing to talk about of course, but I'm glad I did because it really seems like a lot of people liked it. A lot of people were happy about the change of mind that I eventually had and I got I think

almost zero negative feedback from it so if there are a bunch of people who are super

pro circumcision they're either I don't know, not listening or

don't feel like, you know, riding in or calling in, but, uh, but thank you. I appreciate hearing from everybody. It, it was good to know that it, it, um, you you know resonated with you and that it's now so nice to hear the

encouragement a lot of people were again I guess congratulating me for having changed my mind and yeah, I know thanks I appreciate it. I think I did make the right decision and I'm glad that you agree and so that was awesome. I okay here thing. I had a whole episode that I didn't publish last night. I just felt like I didn't quite get it right, you know, is continuing the voicemail segments.

And I, you know, I thought there was some good stuff to it,

but I just, I don't know if it's the baby or what,

but it just felt a little, like I couldn't quite put into words where I wanted to say

correctly and I didn't want to put out something that I wasn't happy was I

actually just didn't even put it out as you noticed and then what I

did was I was kind of going back and forth figuring out what I want to do and then I thought oh you know what

Maybe Andrew Torres can help me with some of these voicemails that I just it's regarding Democratic primary stuff and and that kind of thing that I just wasn't

sure I was getting right into word so I had Andrew on I had him listen to these

voicemails and then we had what turned out to be a very long discussion that I love

about the 2020 primary about a lot of stuff about some election history

lots of great stuff because you know it's Andrew Torres it It's always going to be great. It's always going to be insightful and full of knowledge.

And I'm thinking I think it's worth just doing this. It honestly it's a full episode. It's worth it. It's great. It's like a's like a bonus away but with some

punditry you know which we try to keep to a to a minimum over on

OA but uh I'm I'm all for punditry here as long as it's well reasoned

and so and I try to do that myself so

what I'm gonna here's what I'm gonna do I'm going to hit play on these voicemails

here because Andrew and I use them as a launching off point and I want to make sure that the callers get credit.
