I remember George Carlin's old comedy tour about the bs in the world ( including religion) , stating how God is all powerful, all knowing and everywhere in the universe, but he needs money. He cant balance a bank account, but he always needs your money. You would think that after all these centuries, God would have stored up enough money to solve a few worldly problems by now, such as disease, homelessness, poverty, hunger... climate change. You know...the typical everyday crap.
Paul Lynde was one of the great joys of my childhood. I was truly grieved when he died. It's been many years, but I still pull up his greatest zingers to watch when I need to cheer up. 👵🤗❤

Wow, my heart turned cold at Amos’ story. It’s a good reminder that we can’t-and maybe shouldn’t-seek closure from our personal traumas; and it may be healthier to acknowledge them and the appropriate reactions we may have to them for the rest of our lives. Sort of like a person learns to live with a disfiguring injury-not letting it take the reins but not denying it or seeking to go back to a lost, previous state.
People are in the flesh everyday. I believe you really couldn't re. LOL ok thanks. Every one will get sick after the cookies and spend the rest of their lives trying to get healthy. That's the flesh alright.😢
Holy Hitchens!!! I’m a 47 yr old southern white male with a 10 yr old daughter, who I believe will be an atheist when she’s older, anyway Amos’ story has me crying like a hungry newborn. DAMN YOU SETH!! Great fucking show!!!🤟🪐
I'm a rare weirdo who actually * does not* like the white stuff in the Oreo. Tastes to me like sweetened grease. I do wish Nabisco would sell the plain biscuits sans the ickky sugar grease.
I used to like Oreos. I'm not in the USA so these aren't a regular item in supermarkets here. Friends would bring them as a gift after visiting the USA, I bought them myself when I was there. I had them again a few years ago and I can't stand them now. Did the recipe change? Did my tastes change? I dunno.
@@Luubelaar Can't say for sure, but I wouldn't doubt it. It's a common trick among food manufacturers to switch up ingredients to lower their production costs. Many times the changes do effect flavour or other aspects of the product. When the packages announce their "new formula" or "improved'. It's usually a signal they've done just that. They'll also redesign packaging graphics as a cover for lowering the amounts in the pack to raise their profit margins. Tricky punks.
That comedian's remark about taking off your pants when somebody challenges you for a fight sounds like the late Bill Hicks. An underrated, but great comedian who died too young.
It might just work too. I saw a dashcam of a guy who was about to be on the receiving end of some road rage. As the road rager came for him, dashcam guy dropped trou and put up his dukes, and road rager could not get back in his car fast enough. 😂
Along the lines of what Seth said, something my sister taught me when processing stuff that our mom did is that you can't make your mental health and happiness contingent on someone else's willingness to apologize or do any other action, really. Because they may never do that. In fact, quite often they won't. I feel comfortable passing it on in part because she got it from her therapist, so at least one psych professional signed off on the idea. As with any mental health advice this is easier said than done and it's likely a process that will take years. And to Seth's point it may never fully be healed. But detaching others' actions from the healing process is sometimes a big step in the right direction.
People who talk through movies or play on their phones in the theatre are MONSTERS. I have had stern words for rude, inconsiderate people like that. Even when I was a little mouse who avoided confrontation like the plague, I had zero problems with shouting out "Turn it off or get out!" in the movie theatre. And I'm with you on the more time on Sunday. The sleep-in has become my favourite thing. Sleep til at least 10 am. Lovely.
As a seasoned SEer now who has lost her shit . recently, I'm proud of you Seth, I'm also cracking up. I think I know Ray, if it's the same Dude I met in Alexandria Virginia last July when I was doing Street Epistemology in public with a couple friends.
Unpopular opinion: I prefer Vanilla Oreo's over the chocolate kind. The chocolate ones, basically the original flavor, is just too strong of a flavor for me.
My mother was the same way, “I’m your mother” was her go-to phrase, anytime that I had a point and that she might be wrong. Glad to know that we’re not alone with our struggles.
Back in the early 1990s, I was a closet atheist, (and closet queer), playing in a grunge-goth band in Seattle called “Soylent Black”. We would throw Oreo cookies at our audience at the end of every show. 😎
My sister works for Nabisco, so I have the insider info about Oreos. Triple stuffed Oreos are called "most stuff." They're special edition, so there's no telling when they'll be in stores. However, if she tells me that they're coming back, you'll be the first to know.
@@TheThinkingAtheist following Dr. Esselstyn’s prevent and reverse heart disease diet plan, will take care of any damage brought in by cookies. Loved the show!
Great podcast - my heart goes out to the 42 year old gentleman who has the ‘die-hard’ Christian father - I empathize 100%. I agree with Seth that closure isn’t likely possible in these circumstances so many of have come from. Great advice from Seth -
This discussion of accountability is timely, especially given the recent report that came out from Baltimore regarding the clerical child sex abuse that occurred over the decades in the Catholic Church there.
When the lady called and talked about people who were atheists and then went back to Christianity it reminded me of Teresa McBain. She was a hero to some of us and then she completely flipped and went back. I don't believe that she started believing again... I believe she had a hard time with the consequences like losing her family and her friends, her community. But anyway that was the thought that I had when that lady was on. I was wondering Seth what you thought of that. I am pretty sure you knew her. Or at least I guess I assumed that you knew her.

Between you and Aron Ra, the audio mixing and levels are some of the best on UA-cam and podcast versions of your shows.
Wow, I just got a triggered memory. Sunday clothes and church shoes. I had clothes I could only wear to church on Sunday. I had forgotten about that.
1:36 Chocolate-covered Oreos, fried Oreos, Oreos with cold, sweet whole milk...😵💫😍😁😃😜🤤
Oreos are terribly habit-forming. I can’t resist. I’ll eat a who package at a single sitting. I don’t buy them any more.
No one has a better pastor voice than an atheist like Seth.
Does your Mom really talk like Paul Lynde, Seth?
Paul Lynde was one of the great joys of my childhood. I was truly grieved when he died. It's been many years, but I still pull up his greatest zingers to watch when I need to cheer up. 👵🤗❤
AMEN! FOOTBALL SUNDAYS! I praise the memories of John Madden and Pat Summeral.

This isn't about that $100,000 MIT research about Oreo cookies, is it?
Oreo tribute was 🔥. Great show Seth✌️
Open the cookie, lick the filling off the cookies, the eat the cookies one at a time. No milk required.

If you didn’t get double stuff Oreos I’d have been seriously disappointed in you. LoL

I stack my Oreos so they look like a Big Mac. I layer it cookie -> cream -> cookie -> cream -> cookie.

Two things are permanently banned from my life due to singular event overuse:
-Tequila
-Oreo cookies

Americans only like Oreos because they've never had Romany Creams ;P

You know you listen too much when you can dramatically say the intro to get extra hyped.
As an English atheist I would like to ask the following: what is an altar call? Not being sarcastic, this is an honest enquiry.
Bro...try Oreos dipped in sour cream. It will blow your mind.
Also I loved the pillow bit! And yes yes YESSS!!!
If Jesus bumped mom up the queue, that means Jesus made someone else wait longer than they should have.
Nothing like a good sugar high!
Hope you're well Seth. I heard of the wildfire in OK.
I am a twister as well. Only I eat the blank cookie and then the cookie with the icing on it.
25:18 sounds exactly like Ned Flanders.

Oh shoot.. I commented before the video was over and you touched right on this very thing. Carry on.
Oddly, after eating healthily for weeks, I gave in to Double-Stuff Oreos just this past week!! Sure, I only have 3 a day, but... :0
Love it!👍💙💖🥰✌
Thank you
I think it's the UA-cam comedian Joey Salads with the pants.
Then you listen to the "Wierd"Al song "The White Stuff"
