By popular request, I’m joined by Kevin, who goes by The One Janitor or T1J on YouTube, recently put out a brilliant critique of Sam Harris. I found it to be keenly critical while still being fair. We talk about that, YouTube in general, and delve into his political views as well.

It’s a coven of Andrews! We had so much to talk about regarding the Masterpiece Cakeshop decision handed down by the Supreme Court recently, that we had to do some overflow from Opening Arguments! These two expert Andrews are here to break it down for us, including how many different ways Dave Rubin is wrong about this. (It’s a lot).
Am I kidding? I don’t know, maybe I am, maybe I’m not. You’ll have to listen and find out! With news that Bernie is running in 2020, I’ve got some reaction to the reaction, beginning with a sort of analogy or allegory for 2016 you might find interesting. After that, it’s a long overdue voicemail segment! I plan on doing these at the end of each month, so call in!
Then, Jen Keane joins us for an update on #Repealthe8th in Ireland! And it’s a rare bit of good news!

Time Rymel grew up under the incredibly dogmatic and restrictive religion of Pentecostalism. At a young age, Tim realized he just wasn’t attracted to women like he was “supposed” to be. But, his intense belief system didn’t allow for that sort of thing, so Tim felt compelled to pursue gay conversion therapy. After he was “cured,” he married a woman and became a leader in “ex-gay” ministry. Eventually, though, things began to unravel…

It was entitled “The Hard Work of Humanism” but that probably wasn’t the most accurate title. I hope you enjoy it, and please give me your thoughts! Thank you for being patrons!
The funniest guy I know is here to talk about… meditation? Turns out Eli has a wealth of knowledge on the practice, and has become something of an evangelist for it. Eli had a pretty heartbreaking revelation after a difficult time, and it led him to really want to get better. Meditation has really made a difference for him and he (and science) thinks it can make a difference for you, too! That sounds like a sales pitch but this is entirely free and Eli in no way makes any money off of it.
Also come see me in New Orleans on the 19th! It’s free, come visit and hear my talk!
Won’t someone spare a thought for the ironic nazis? In this bonus episode, I clarify my thoughts on the ironic nazi being sentenced to a small fine. There are so many straw men involved in this debate. I try to filter out the good arguments from the bad and tell you where I ultimately come down. I also draw some parallels between this situation and the current furor over Michelle Wolf’s WHCD routine.
Finally, the first patron only episode! Today I’m talking about the recent article by Chris Stedman about atheists trending toward the alt-right. As much as I’m usually negative on the atheist movement, I actually don’t think the data backs this one up. I’ve got a lot to say on it, and I’m curious what your thoughts are.
After that it’s Jake News with Thomas!
