To cap it off, chefs run a blind taste test using only fast food ingredients plated like fine dining, proving how skewed our perceptions of \u201chealthy\u201d versus \u201cjunk\u201d food can be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">And, of course, Penn peppers the episode with venomous commentary and profanity, while Teller gives his trademark knowing nod.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\"><strong>We Get It, You\u2019re Atheists<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"497\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/mTjWCWG485dUS1BqC4G.yg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTUzMDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/giant_freakin_robot_articles_628\/da46434a29dc4ef828c2dcc92c27edaf\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">On a cynical day, Penn\u2019s delivery can feel like that meme, \u201cThe Bible Read in a Condescending Voice by a 14-Year-Old Atheist.\u201d But honestly, that\u2019s part of the package.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Penn has always been outspoken about his lack of faith in organized religion, so if you go into <em>Penn &amp; Teller: Bullsh*t!<\/em> expecting subtlety on religious topics, that\u2019s on you. While some believers may want to skip those episodes, it\u2019s hard to deny that Jillette\u2019s passion and showmanship make him one of the more entertaining figures you could pick to challenge your worldview.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\"><strong>Streaming Bullsh*t!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">At its core, <em>Bullsh*t!<\/em> is a comedy series, but the kind that leaves you thinking.
