Previously on Thomas in the Bible, read Ezra 3 through 6.

Zerebable decided to build a temple to God.

However, refusing help from neighboring people, they ended up in a legal battle with King Arctic Xerxes of Persia.

After a number of letters back and forth, the Persians allowed work to continue, giving them animals to sacrifice.

Four or five years later, the temple was complete, and the Jews celebrated by doing their favorite thing, slaughtering hundreds of animals,

and our Thomas Yon count was three.

Hey, guys.

So I hope you like my new little previously on, provided by my friend Harley listener of the show um he you can find him on Twitter at secular lad um and he just uh messaged me and said he wanted

to do it previously on and um he sent it to me and uh if he sucked i wasn't going to let him do it. But, you know, it was

nice. I like the pleasant sound of his voice and the pleasant, soothing, sexy sound of his

foreign voice to me, to my ears, foreign accent, as opposed to my probably to many ears, obnoxious American ones. So I thought that'd be

a nice little touch after he sent it to me. It sounded good. And so, yeah, people who volunteer,

voluntarily do work, I have a hard time, you know, saying I don't. No, don't do work for my show.

And it's good because it'll remind me what the hell is going on, because I don't know. There's no way I know.

Yeah. Sorry, it sounds echoy in here. so than normal oh you know what

there's a blanket up that fell down

that's what it is

it's funny that makes a tiny

or that tiny thing makes a huge difference

I just uh just noticed it

so um okay as usual
