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. Oh, You have accessed entry 594. J.S.0503 certificate number 5238, the Holy Prepuse. Can I think of you as a as a Bible scholar that's correct I'm America's leading

biblical scholar would you call yourself a Bible scholar how on a scale of one to

10 how well do you know the Bible?

I feel like I know the Bible better than a lot of these guys that keep getting on TV and saying

hurricanes are caused by transgender bathrooms or whatever.

Right, so you're saying there's nothing in the Bible about transgender bathrooms?

Causing hurricanes?

Yeah. Oh, what you're saying there is stuff about it. There's

stuff about hurricanes. There's something about transgender bathrooms, but I mean it's

left to Pat Robertson to draw the connection. The connection. So you but I feel like I'm pretty comfortable with my Bible,

mostly from having attended a Lutheran slash Methodist

International School in Korea as a kid for years.

We had mandatory Bible study every day in elementary school and some in high school as well.

But you're an elder in your church. Yes. Does that come into play? Does your knowledge of the Bible give you a sort of

I mean I teach Sunday school? So you need to know the Bible for that. It really helps.
