Summary

It's finally time for the story of two hungry bears versus 42 unruly youths!

Hairy fire guy versus the Bible's alleged worst woman (who did nothing wrong) and her useless little emo husband, the Bible's most overrated guy
Elijah was the fastest runner of all time and there's nothing atheists can do about it
Meet yet another "Satan": Where the name Beelzebub comes from
We are joined by the smart and funny Spencer Hall, a sports journalist whose love of this specific biblical passage helped make him one of our most requested guests

Intro music: "Who Do You Know" by Claire Lynch
