    Jeff Dee's face... is priceless!
  • Thank you for uploading this! It feels like I have been waiting forever for my regular weekly dose of sanity and logic (though the Sagan, Hitchens, PZ Myers, and TED videos have made it bearable) it just isn't the same as a live call-in show with common people.
  • @janbuyck1
    Who is the artist you hear at the beginning of the program? did they release any albums yet?
  • @siamondTV
    Haven't watched the whole episode yet, but it looks like the first few callers were just calling the show in order to get on the air.
  • @Volound
    @MrOttopants lol, i did the same thing 3 weeks ago, or so. they always say something different though, as hitch says "you never know what theyre going to say next".
  • @kingbelail
    You can just see Russel's faith in humanity go out the window with every caller.
  • @JacksInn
    when will they get back to a 90 minute show?
  • I actually found the first caller fascinating because I was scratching my head trying to figure out what kind of accent that was. A blend of Brazil & Florida - I don't think I've ever heard that combo before. I felt kind of bad that he wasn't better able to get his point across.
  • Once I became a full atheist I went and looked at the sermons online I was so moved by. Listening to them now with all these off the wall claims I truly can't believe they get away with the things they say. It's scary. I was involved in it because I was vulnerable and told I'm a " sinners" so I felt welcomed. Till I started watching this channel, and dove deep into doing the self work on my self esteem I can see how people get swindled. Since putting away the Bible and praying all the time my life has improved big time. I look at the preachers now and they are just greasy average slobs who read one passage then make up the rest. Also, all of them live a secret life.
  • @Kee2Oz
    That last caller brought to my mind something I saw on the news after the 2004 sunami.One American or British tourist who survived proclaimed that god was watching out for him and felt as though his life was spared for a future purpose.How gigantic would a person's ego have to be to believe that they are more protected and selected for a greater purpose over 100,000 others?The more religious,the less heart.
  • Hi, 2022 is calling and all of the fears from 2012 came true 😩
  • Maybe the producers should keep some of the crazier callers' numbers handy so they can get them on the line for slow days like this.
  • @Fordragon
    They have a one-hour show that only airs once a week. It would be a waste of time to allow a caller to build an argument based on false premises, when they could just show the caller why they are incorrect right away. On a side note, Jeff's shirt is awesome!
  • Like one of the callers, my deconversion from theism started by watching the videos by Evid3nc3, then The Thinking Atheist, and then The Atheist Experience. I love them all. I think it great a show like the Atheist Experience is on and from the bible belt. Amazing. Everyone who is seeking, should check out so many of these Atheist youtubers.
