Ted wound up with 6, as did Sean (in the episode we forgot to mention Sean getting a point for the Pope having another scandal).

The Weights & Wealth Book Club has been REVAMPED after popular demand requested fewer books with more in depth analysis. Toxic Charity by Robert Lupton is a thought provoking investigative analysis on the harms that modern charity brings with the pure intents of generous Americans and Christians. This is the first episode of many that will dive into a specific book and our hope is that with advanced notice the audience will start reading more of the books with us before our discussion episode. Overall we gave this book a 6.6/10.
