Okay, so apologies we're getting it out so late, but a glance at the run time will give you a pretty solid hint as to why. Enjoy.---In this week’s episode, Clarence Thomas has a REALLY convoluted plan to get out of his marriage, Tall Tyler crushes up a fetus in some peanut butter to cure Donald Trump's COVID, and a Catholic priest will have sex with consenting adults.

Happy 400th episode, and many happy returns!

Happy 400th🎉🎊🎈🎈😄🎉😄😄😒🎊🎈🎊🎊 JUMANJI

OMG!! The emoji parts (especially the lemon juice in the eye after the FYF!! <3 x a bazillion) made my whole month. Thank you SO MUCH for being you, out loud, every single week. This podcast is a sanity defibrillator and a joy. Happy 400th episode! 😀❤️💃👍🏻

Brendan H.

Great episode. Thanks for sharing. It can't really have been that long can it? We all appreciate the hard work you put in - it shows. (NB Outbreak isn't available in Australia yet it seems and is listed as both a best-seller and 'Item under review'. Backlash already?) (And can I request an Audible version narrated by the authors? Pretty please).

JustAGuy

Loved this episode and all the looking back it had, been listening since I was in high school so this kinda stuff gets to me a bit. ... right up until the 'oo ooos' started happening. I cannot articulate why, but every time Heath or Eli make that noise it's like a pick to my brain. Sorry, I just felt the need to get that out of my head. Great and happy 400th, PIAT team! heres to another great 400 more.

Jörg Haarhoff

Hi guys, just listening to the episode here in Berlin, Germany, great one again! Can't order Outbreak here either (not available, maybe they ran out of ones and zeroes?)! Here's to the next 400! Jörg

I swear to Maude, I nearly piss myself laughing any time Heath's SHS makes an appearance, no matter how brief.

Katy Hill

Loved this and every episode I’ve listened to! Plus I loved listening to all the memories from other people (and mine!!!! 💚). It helps remind me that we are a community, and not feel so alone in the Bible Belt in a family full of Mormons. Thanks for all the time and energy y’all have put into the podcast over the years. Y’all fucking rock.

⚠️ PSA: RE: THE NEW BOOK - KINDLE FORMAT ⚠️ We are aware of the issues surrounding the formatting and the Kindle sales for Outbreak - A Crisis of Faith: How Religion Ruined Our Global Pandemic. We’re just starting to look into it, but I don’t have updates yet.

I found this show during Vulgarity for Charity in... 2015 or 2016, I think? Anyway, I loved it and told my now ex husband about it. I've progressed in my career enough to give enough to get a roast this year, which I'm planning to do as a birthday gift to myself. It'll be of my ex, who talked me out of going to meet you guys after the live show in Seattle.

We're moving, so I didn't get a chance to record my favorite memory, and it's not because I tried to record it & convert it into MP3 format after downloading two apps and rage quitting. My favorite Scathing Atheist memory is listening to Anna sing "Leviticus in Rhyme" while shopping at Kroger...in Memphis Tennessee. I noticed a lady giving me the good old fashioned stink eye, and realized I was singing along with Anna out loud. Did I mention this was a Kroger in Memphis, TN? Thanks to the whole Scathing crew with special thanks to Lucinda for TWIM, Heath for converting me into a pun lover, Anna for the music, Eli for reminding me to wear my glasses, and Noah for roasting my brother who doesn't believe we landed on the moon.

Debbie Anderson

Thanks so much for being in our lives! Love your guts!!

Ann Pollard

These guys (including Lucinda; haven't met Anna!) are just as fun and kind and approachable as you would hope. We're saving up to go wherever we all can meet next. Thanks for making me laugh and think. I loved it that April is number one. Superb.

Love you guys

Holy crap has PIAT shows have become so awesome! You have all come such a long way and I love how you developed. Now I find myself seeking your podcasts first more often. The golden moment for me is that Skeptikcrat Ep.113 where Heath gets into the Golden Globe Awards. I laughed at this about four dozen times. So well crafted...So fucking well crafted! Vegan dessert cough! Sure Heath owned this one entirely but Noah and Eli were very much essential and it shows so much in the last 3-4 years of shows of how you have cultivated each other.

Congrats on 400, well done. A million years ago, once I'd consumed all the back episodes of my new favorite thing in the world, Cognitive Dissonance, I took Tom & Cecils genuine recommendation seriously. Looking back, my introduction to you guys was a slow burn that took about 6 months. The scripted style had an effect on me, struggling to focus, and I'd find my mind drifting. But I'd hear one of you clowns on Cog Dis from time to time and think 'holy shit, I gotta give their Scathing show another try'. And lucky for me (and all of us) you've been creating a lot. Thanks for all the work you put in, to make it as relevant, as revealing, as funny and as scathing as you can - every damn week. You've helped me work through a lot of confusion, anger, pain and frustration. Thanks for sharing, trying and being vulnerable. Love you guys, you too Lucinda. - Pat

If I'm being given partial credit for Eli having a kid... do I get to partially fuck him next live show?

Lori Bonilla

Congratulations on the big 4-0-0! It gave me warm fuzzies to hear how much this show means to others, just like it does to me. Thank you SA/PIAT - may you find and win over many more like us in the future!

Samantha Brown

This is one of the sweetest episodes that I've listened to. Thank you for all of your hard work. I hope to see one of your shows in person if we all survive the hell known as 2020
