012 - The Atheist in the Foxhole

As Jarid is closes in on his PsyD, he's focused on completing his dissertation. The topic: secular faith — in other words, faith without religion — and how it might impact the health of veterans.
These two professionals get over halfway through the episode before even saying the title of that dissertation draft.
That’s because the show opens with Jarid trying to tell Jake that the whole idea of his dissertation came from something he read in Jake’s first novel … or was it the second one? And what exactly did Jake write that was so inspiring? As it turns out, Jarid’s not actually sure, but he spends 3 solid ADD minutes trying to get Jake to figure it out.
Jake seems to hijack the episode quickly in order to present a hypothesis of his own. He also, of course, talks too much about talking, while disguising it as ideas about the influence of language on the subject matter. Who doesn’t love a language nerd?
