00:28 - 00:55 Robert Evans

I'm leaving so much from, like, this really good book, Age of Oprah, out because, like, I just don't even know how to, like, fit everything in. But I have to start this episode with our wonderful guests, the inimitable- Bridget Todd and the glorious, sainted, I don't know, Andrew T. I'm trying to think of new adjectives to praise y'all with as we come in.

00:57 - 01:08 Robert Evans

What's a saint? Do I have to die? I think you actually have to die. No, you don't. No, you don't. I think you don't have to die. I'm down. You're probably okay. Just let me know. I'm down. Bridget, you could also be a saint, but I just don't get major Catholic vibes from you.

00:00 - 00:00 Bridget Todd

Oh, I actually did go to Catholic school.

00:00 - 00:00 Robert Evans

Oh, you did? Well, shit. Okay. I'm going to redirect the habit that I've got headed for Andrew, and it's going to go to you.

00:00 - 00:00 Unknown

Andrew, sorry. You're not sainted anymore. You have to live virtuously. You have to die for the faith, so you have to martyr. Perform miracles.

00:00 - 00:00 Robert Evans

He's performed a miracle.

00:00 - 00:00 Unknown

I don't know if all of these are required at once.
