This is a global player original podcast.

Hello and welcome to full disclosure, a podcast project that is designed to let me spend more time than I would get on the radio with people who are objectively fascinating.

And this week's guest, Fred Syriyx, did I say that right?

Correct.

Thank you.

Fits into that category.

We should start by saying thank you for finding the time to talk to us, Fred, because you are currently in one of those purple periods career-wise where everybody wants a piece

of you. Well, thank you for having me. Actually, I'm really excited to be here. I'm a big fan,

and I'm not just saying here because, you know, I'm here with you. You know, obviously, if I didn't like you I wouldn't be here. That's exactly right. But I really find you, you know, very intelligent, very articulate.

I like the way you put your points across on the radio and how you articulate yourself, you

know, and there was one particular discussion that you had not so long ago about gay marriage

and you had a caller who came on and you were talking about

Lovicticus and you were quoting it and he was quoting it too but what you were doing is asking

some very simple very logical and reasonable questions to this man as to understand his point of

view and see whether there was any flaws and you basically eat a brick wall and

I just find this fascinating I mean it's not this is just an example I think it's a very very obvious

example yeah a man who quote Leviticus to say well you a man cannot lay with a man but then the same

token you know the same passage, there is,

you know, you can sell your daughter to slavery. But he didn't link the two together. And, you know,

I think it's what's happening a little bit in the world. I think it's happened all the time,

but I think it's more polarized now in terms of people's point of view and the inability of

people to actually question their thinking
