Tom: [00:00:29] this is no replacement for sitting in a village in until all hours.

Steve: [00:00:33] I know. Have you heard the news about village and like going out of business recently? Oh, it's terrible. The one on a Academy's gone. The one in monuments gone garden of the gods I think is okay for now, but I mean, given this situation, it probably won't last, but all that to say, Oh, I would be disappointed except that before they killed the restaurant, they killed free pie day.

They like ruined it. You could only have free pie if you add a meal, which like. It just ruins half the fun. Like the whole game was seeing if you could resist getting a meal, which you couldn't most of the time anyway, and then they ruined that game. So that's

Tom: [00:01:13] probably my fault cause I would always only go in order like bad black coffee and

Steve: [00:01:18] pie.

Yeah. I think that was their death now though, when they were like, we have to make money from free pie night. Like, come on guys. Now you're really trying too hard. Anyway. Okay, so introduction. Hello, and welcome to separate time. At separate times. I'm actually eating something that you could eat during supper.

This is a, it's like a stew of beef and vegetables. This is the first time I've actually had something supper related during separate time. Did you make that yourself or course? I didn't make it myself. It's an a can curse you for asking.

Tom: [00:01:49] I'm going to teach you how to cook. I

Steve: [00:01:50] know how to cook. I just have a lot of cans here cause again, I have not left the house for a month, which we will talk about later.

I did actually manage to have like a really nice breakfast this morning that was cooked from not fresh fruit but fruit and then vegetables and an omelet. And bread. Bread is a hard one cause you know you can't actually make bread in a way that is like, it doesn't, it's, you can't decontaminate bread if it's made by people in a factory who have coronavirus.

Yeah, so it's one of the products that people are more worried about, but that is a total aside. A total aside, our guests for supper time today is Tom Olsteen, one of my closest friends from high school who is a theologian. You have a degree in the Bible or something of this nature?

Tom: [00:02:37] Yes. I have a master of divinity and a bachelor's in philosophy.

Steve: [00:02:42] Okay. Right. Oh, qualified

Tom: [00:02:44] to opine.

Steve: [00:02:46] Tom and I have made quite a hobby of thinking about the written word, in, in yesterday's, episode. Actually, it's hilarious that your following page to me in yesterday's episode page was my RA freshman year, and you're in an RNA, Tom. but that's not, that's not what I'm about to talk about.

I, I know that you're not actively in RA, but I still think of you as an RA.

Tom: [00:03:08] There's no former RAs.

Steve: [00:03:11] It's you gotta you're in it for life. Yeah. So Paige is living her life that way. She's basically now an extended RA for a church in Savannah where she's leading the like youth community, which is pretty cool.

but she was my RA freshman year when I ended up buried in theological reading, and she was like, yeah, I've never really seen anyone. Go so hard is you went with the reading dense theological books and I was like, yeah, I guess that frames it pretty fairly. so having her talk about like seeing that and her perception of that as an RA, transitioning into our conversation

Tom: [00:03:46] today is kind of a fun,
