We are Ken Jennings and John Roderick. We speak to you from our present, which we can

only assume is your distant past, the turbulent time that was the early 21st century.

Fearing the great cataclysm that will surely befall our civilization, we began this

monumental reference of strange and obscure human knowledge.

These recordings represent our attempt to compile and preserve wonders and esoterica that would otherwise be lost.

So whether you're listening from an advanced civilization or have just reinvented the technology to decrypt our transmissions,

this is our legacy to you.

This is our time capsule.

This is the omnibus. Okay. You have accessed entry 472.

A.C. 1502.

Certificate number 23027.

The first counsel of Nysia. You just looked at me a second ago.

You just looked at me a second ago and said, aren't we always talking about the Council of Nicia?

I feel like we don't know if that's true.

I feel like we always are.

Are you confusing me with your other Jesuit friends? I know for a fact that I am

always talking about it but I think maybe that I'm always thinking about it even more than I'm always talking about it.

But doesn't it come up in this show all the time?

I'm sure people will tell us. I'm sure somebody's got a cross-indexed list of every time we've mentioned.

There are seven times you've mentioned.

But I think you're right. We probably have not talked about it as much as I think.

This show is this entry in the omnibus is a request.
