0:00.0	Hey everybody, hi friends, well from unseasonably warm Salt Lake City, Utah, it's thank
0:24.4	God I'm Atheist, the podcast, I'm Frank Feldman, and I'm Dan Beacher, and coming up on the show
0:31.8	today. You almost lost the word show, you almost said on the Dan today show. We're going
0:38.4	to be talking about a story that pro-publica broke about Utah's welfare system, the riveting
0:46.2	stuff. It is rivet, it's shocking. It's really shocking. I was not prepared for it to be
0:52.4	perfectly honest with you, and you would think that as long as you and I have been sort of
0:58.5	staring down the Utah state government and the Mormon church, that we would have seen this coming.

2:17.3	Phil on the world. No kidding. Well, anyway, Dr. Oz has announced that he's running for
2:27.0	Senate, US Senate, in Pennsylvania. And what's... So it's alarming on the side of, you know, he's
2:39.9	a quack. He is... To be clear, our distaste for him is not personal. It is because he is a doctor
