EP108 (Judges 21) We discuss the business of saving souls. We pick up the biblical insanity right where we left off. After the total destruction of all Benjaminite towns, the men of Israel make an oath to not give their daughters to a Benjaminite in marriage. All of the sudden the schizophrenic Jews feel bad about what they did to Benjamin and weep bitterly. They hold a meeting which the tribe of Jabesh Gilead does not attend and this is about as good a reason as any to kill all of the men of that tribe and take their daughters to be wives for the Benjaminite’s. The only problem is that they are about 200 young virgins short, so the Israelites hatch an even wackier plan. They tell the Benjaminite’s to hide next to a dance party and steal the girls they want and carry them back to Benjamin. A listener follows up on an email about conservative parents.

Heaven absolutely bananas. god has failed experiments covered in eyes shouting about how great he around the clock. It has walls, gates, pools, rocks, and golden streets. Big fucking deal.

EP103 (Judges 16) Caleb returns from California with some good stories and he’s very sorry for being 4 days late. Samson, the bane of the Philistines, is surrounded and locked in a town while he bangs a prostitute. He wakes up and tears the city gates out from of the wall and marches them to the top of a nearby hill. It seems that Samson can’t get enough of that Philly tang and marries another Philistine woman named Delilah. She nags him for weeks and after giving her several wrong answers Samson reveals that the secret to his strength is his new fuckin haircut, or rather, the fact he has never cut his hair. She haves his head and hands him to the Philistines who gouge out Samson’s eyes and chain him to a mill stone. A listener asks what heaven is like.

EP102 (Judges 14-15) Caleb and his bros go to the Alestorm concert. Samson’s escapades begin with choosing a Philistines bride. On the way to the wedding he is attacked by a lion and Samson tears it apart with his bear (lol) hands. At the wedding Samson makes a wager with the Philistines. They will forfeit thirty linen garment and thirty sets of clothes if they cannot solve his riddle in seven days. The riddle is difficult, so the Philistines threaten Samson’s new wife with death and the death of her family to get the answer out of him. Samson tells her, she tells the Philistines, and Samson is out thirty sets of new suits. Realizing he was tricked Samson decides to go to the nearest Philistine town and kill thirty people and take their clothes. If that not enough he catches 300 foxes and ties torches to their tales and let’s run amok through their crops and vineyards. This prompts martial law and the Philistines send a small army to arrest Samson. He single handedly kills a thousand Philistines with a jawbone of a donkey.
