Summary

Well, Theophiloi, it's been a hot minute, but we're back once again with the first half of Jeremiah, which is both the longest book in Bible and also the most unnecessarily long. Here, we'll save you some time: "God's mad." There, you have now read Jeremiah. If you want a more in-depth discussion of how metal this book can get, though, listen in for shattering destruction, and fields just chock full o' bones! Plus: the return of Rough Chuckles.

Topics of discussion: World Dracula Day, Jeremy & Danny & Eli & Obie & Hab, Twitter's tendency towards jerimiads, twist it like a camel, circumcised hearts, the problem all the murderers, spitting hot fire, an alternative to 1 Rinthies, Fleabag S2, Terror Is On Every Side.

Hymnal: "For Whom The Bell Tolls" by Metallica

Offertory: Each person should do as he has decided in his heart, so if you enjoy the show, head to ko-fi.com/apocrypals, for the Apocrypals love a cheerful giver.

0:49.5	I can't believe it's been a week already.
0:51.9	Yeah, the time really flies.
0:53.7	It just, ah, just soars by.
0:57.0	Boy, is it ever Sunday. Boy, boy, is it ever early May.
1:03.9	Hey, everybody, welcome to this show that we do. It's a Bible show, and we talk about Bible,
1:10.3	and I know it's been a while, but much like
1:14.6	Alvin and the Chipmunks, we are back with style. So get set to have some fun. We'll give you
1:21.5	action and satisfaction. That's a good pull. That's a really good pull that I think people are going to
1:26.2	respond to and enjoy.
1:35.2	Yeah. Hey, look, shout out to the millennials. Anyway, yeah, hey, guys, what's up? We're doing Jeremiah. It's the big one. It's literally word for word. It's the longest book in the Bible.
1:41.4	So I think we're going to be able to knock it out in two episodes,
1:44.4	though. I think we can do that. It's not quite like Genesis where there's a lot of kind of
1:49.4	nitty-gritty and a lot of little stories that we need to look at in depth. So I think we can
