    Nice to see Ellen Ripley doing something safer for a change. I’d rather debate a theist than fight a Xenomorph any day.

    Tristan sounds a LOT like Trevor from episode 767 who made grand claims that every point of evolution was false. He was unable to support his positions and got hung up on by Matt when he refused to try. If it is him, he is arguing much more cautiously now.

    I think Don is missing the deeper philosophical problem here. Tracy gets it though.

    Yet more evidence that Don was the most disruptive, derailing, demeaning and dismissive "host" the show ever had.

    23 minutes in and you finally came off your soapboxes to take some calls.

      Maybe it's the soapbox derby.

      @@jameswest8280 ha! Honestly though, Tracie is my least favorite host. When she's not being a psychiatrist, she's bending over backwards to not offend (or even chance them being incomfortable) callers in any way. It tends to make her interrupt the other host when they are trying to offer a viewpoint.

      Weird. Why are you insulting the hosts? I actually really like Tracie's style, she asks direct interesting questions. I also like how she brings up animal behavior alot. Especially when morality is brought up, it knocks christains off script.
      I also really like Don's 'failures'. It often helps to bring in some interesting calls. I also like that he tends to stay calm & laugh even when callers say really offensive things. Especially against LGBT+ people since he's gay. I'm bi/pan and I know I would have a difficult time dealing with bigots.
      I just kinda feel like your throwing insults instead of constructive critism. I mean if you can do better, I'd love to see it. Make your own channel! Like for real if maybe you could be the next big name in atheisim! But if not...why all the shade?

      I know right? They are not getting the reward in heaven so they just need to shut up ( on their show) and just take callers. You should start your own Show Roland and not get on your soapbox to prove a point. I'll be listening.
