You're listening to serious inquiries only. Oh, Hello and I'm your host Thomas Smith.

First and foremost, I need to warn you that this episode will contain profanity.

It will also contain discussions of sexual assault, mentions of sexual assault, rather.

It'll contain stuff like that, not because I wanted to, but because any objective coverage of one sargon of a cod or what happened at

mythisis Milwaukee necessarily needs to include such things otherwise it is

incomplete. So there's your heads up if you you don't feel up to it, feel free to pass and I'm sorry. But here we go. I need to talk about

Mythicism Milwaukee, the Myth Information Conference, what happened, there is too much, way, way too much to talk about.

I'm having a hard time even figuring out how to prioritize what to tell you, but I'm going to do my best. I would like to point out that I had an

amazing conversation with Tom of cognitive dissonance who was part of the VIP party

little altercation thing.

It was really good. I wanted to put it up for patrons.

It's up there on Patreon.com slash serious pod.

I wanted to make sure to give back to all the new patrons and the existing patrons who pledged.

Thank you guys so much.

It should be a real episode, but I had Tom on the phone, the quality wasn't as good. We'll try to

hook up at a later date but in the meantime that is well worth checking out.

Tom has some really good insights on kind of his view of what's going on with these

youtubers and the conference and what he was trying to do

when he confronted Sargon all that stuff

it's excellent I love Tom I love cognitive dissonance it was really fun

okay with that said here's my breakdown of the

Myth Information fiasco. Well, let's start from the beginning. I want to talk about the full decision behind why I went, why I initially agreed, why I questioned, and then ultimately decided to go through with my commitment.
