SUMMARY We look funny today, but it’s because our awesome crew figured out a way for us to continue the show from individual hosts’ and crew members’ homes! Thanks, guys!

Hi friends. I'm not your regular audio editor for today's show, but I am the guy who agreed to do show notes and then got caught up in modding the live chat and grabbing live clips and neglected to do show notes. Get out your flogging equipment, I'll wait here. Also, sorry about that... Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-atheist-experience--3254896/support .
