Ezekiel Chapter 2: Bible Study BY Atheists

Ezekiel Chapter 2: Bible Study BY Atheists

In this irreverently insightful episode of "Heavenly Hallucinations or Holy Revelations?" your favorite skeptic duo takes a deep, sarcastic dive into the puzzling pool of Ezekiel Chapter 2. Get ready to suspend your disbelief—or not—as we tackle the almighty's bizarre commandments to our favorite biblical head case, Ezekiel. From heavenly scrolls that double as celestial snacks to the absurdity of God's witness protection program that doesn't quite protect, we're unpacking the prophetic madness with a side of snark.


As we venture further into the scripture's labyrinth, we ponder the peculiar fate of prophets like Jeremiah. You know, the one who God assured was under His mighty wing—only to end up possibly stoned (and not in the good way) in Egypt. What's up with that, Big Guy upstairs? If this is divine shielding, we'd hate to see divine neglect.


Don't think we'd leave you without addressing the so-called 'son of man' term that gets tossed around like a heavenly hot potato. We dissect its significance and usage, all while debating if Ezekiel was merely a puppet on God's string—or, dare we say, a golem in prophet's clothing?


Amidst the theological dissection, we share behind-the-scenes shenanigans featuring our feline co-host, whose litter box antics provide more reliable entertainment than Ezekiel's trippy prophecies. Join our Discord channel to continue the conversation, where we swap holy texts for riveting debates on everything from atheism to the exciting universe of home appliances. Samsung washers, anyone?


In this episode, we invite you to laugh, learn, and maybe even facepalm with us as we navigate the whirlwind of Ezekiel's alleged revelations. Hit that subscribe button for more divine comedy and not-so-holy discussions. This is the podcast where ancient scriptures get a modern roast, and no holy cow is too sacred.


Don't miss out on the heavenly heresy—join us as we bring the blasphemy back to biblical analysis, with a healthy dose of humor and a dash of doubt. After all, if we can't question the so-called divine word, what can we question?

[00:01:06] Hey guys husband here before we hop into the podcast

[00:01:13] I just wanted to mention that we tried to do a live podcast on YouTube last night and we did but the

[00:01:19] Audio quality is not the best and I do want to apologize for that upfront

[00:01:24] Hopefully we will get this under control for the next episode

[00:01:27] In the meantime bear with us and I apologize for the bad audio. So enjoy or or not

[00:01:35] Welcome to sacrilegious discourse. I'm husband and I'm wife together

[00:01:44] We're reading the Bible for the very first time

[00:01:46] We grew up without religion and wanted to know what all the fuss was about well

[00:01:51] What have we learned so far that God is a dick and apparently some people believe in talking donkeys

[00:01:56] We're not trying to pass ourselves off as experts

[00:01:59] Nope

[00:01:59] We're just reading the Bible for the first time and given our first take reaction

[00:02:03] If you'd like to join us in this venture you might consider starting that episode one otherwise jump in wherever you like

[00:02:09] All right, let's go read the Bible. Yeah, let's get to it

[00:02:14] Husband wife

[00:02:18] You know where the hell we are and how the fuck we got here well

[00:02:21] We just got done reading Ezekiel chapter 1 and holy fucking shit

[00:02:27] I mean what even was that crap? It was a fever dream

[00:02:33] Fucking it there was there was there was something in the sky like a spaceship with four heads of different animals

[00:02:40] There was wheels with eyeballs on it and then wheels within wheels

[00:02:45] And and lightning and I think there might have been drugs involved. I'm really not sure

[00:02:51] What we read because it was crazy was fucking crazy

[00:02:56] This guy thinks it's God so

[00:02:59] Well, they call they called it a prophecy

[00:03:03] But I feel like it was more of a vision than a prophecy and even vision. I think is doing some heavy lifting there

[00:03:10] Yeah, yeah, no, I feel like the guy would just off his brocker, but that's just me

[00:03:15] I think that this chapter we're gonna get into is gonna be like the follow-up and then God said yeah

[00:03:23] That's my impression

[00:03:26] Before we go on here

[00:03:27] I do want to mention that we are doing this episode live on YouTube for one of our first times ever

[00:03:32] We have done some dabbling in this this field before but never

[00:03:36] Unsuccessfully unsuccessfully. I think this one is maybe

[00:03:40] Maybe gonna be successful

[00:03:42] So we'd love for you guys to join us on the next foray into this

[00:04:07] Ezekiel chapter two. All right, let's do this. Okie-dokie

[00:04:10] Hey, I'm Ryan Reynolds recently I asked Mintmobile's legal team if big wireless companies are allowed to raise prices due to inflation

[00:05:56] Okay, so we are jumping into chapter 2 of a zeke. Oh, okay after that crazy chapter 1

[00:06:03] Are you ready to go? I am yeah, that was that was nutty and now I'm ready to see what is gonna follow that up because

[00:06:11] Well dude fell prostrate on his face when he saw all that crazy shit happening in the sky

[00:06:17] As you might if you saw all that happening this guy cuz what he described was

[00:06:22] It was crazy. Yes. That was that was that was I'd be a little bit taken it back, too

[00:06:29] Well, he he ended the previous chapter saying something like and then God spoke or something like that. Yeah, that's right

[00:06:37] Oh, yeah, now God is getting ready to speak. Yes. Yes

[00:06:39] I wanted to recap that a little bit because it starts off. He said to me

[00:06:45] Okay, God God God

[00:06:48] Yes, he said to me son of man stand up on your feet and I will speak to you

[00:06:55] Hey, whoa, whoa

[00:06:57] As he spoke the spirit came into me and raised me to my feet and I heard him speaking to me

[00:07:05] Okay from inside my ears. Now now God is

[00:07:09] Embodying the Zeke literally up in him. Okay, okay, and he was down on the ground

[00:07:15] God had brought him to his feet. Okay, which is interesting because in the last chapter

[00:07:21] Ezekiel was like I saw the face and it was cray

[00:07:24] Yeah, it's like but you were laying face down. How did you see it? Did you see it before you right face down?

[00:07:30] Yeah, I don't know that's just me being persnickety there. Sure, you know, so right alright

[00:07:36] He said son of man

[00:07:38] I am sending you to the Israelites to a rebellious nation that is rebelled against me

[00:07:44] You know as rebels do yeah, wasn't he already with the Israelites?

[00:07:49] Um, he was part of the in the exile

[00:07:52] Yeah, but he's saying that he's gonna send him hither and yawn

[00:07:56] He wants he wants Ezekiel to deliver this message to all of the Israelites that are in captivity

[00:08:03] As well as all of the Israelites that have been scattered to the winds got it. Okay, okay

[00:08:09] Like there's some that are in Egypt. There's some that are still in Jerusalem like the the dregs

[00:08:16] Yeah, you know right right society are still down there. Yep, so he's saying go forth and say my message

[00:08:23] Okay, okay

[00:08:24] Yeah, they and their ancestors have been in revolt against me to this very day

[00:08:33] I think we're bold as a strong word though

[00:08:35] They were they were

[00:08:37] Revolting in in the sense that they were worshiping other gods that like not in worshiping other gods is even like a little bit too

[00:08:44] Strong I feel yeah, yeah, I think you're right revolting is the wrong

[00:08:48] Verb they they were that would indicate that they actually gave a shit right and I don't think they did

[00:08:54] No, they just they're like whatever God can give me whatever. I'm gonna worship at it

[00:08:59] Yeah, and I'm gonna ask it to give me the things that I need I need rain and eat crops

[00:09:04] I need you know not to die from somebody attacking me and and so far God is just doing the bad shit to me

[00:09:12] So I'm just gonna worship something else because

[00:09:16] This god over here that that brings the rain so why not give that a try right, you know, yeah, like I think the revolt is

[00:09:23] The wrong word there. I agree

[00:09:26] The people to whom this is God speaking

[00:09:28] So the people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and stubborn. I will give him that

[00:09:35] They are obstinate and stubborn

[00:09:38] Again, I'm gonna push back a little bit there

[00:09:41] because

[00:09:42] When we've discussed it in the past

[00:09:44] We've mentioned that they don't even really feel like they care that much right like they aren't that affected

[00:09:52] By this God because they have all these other gods. There's there's a lot of shit going on in their life

[00:09:56] They clearly don't have a lot of fear of this right. Yeah, that's what I'm that's kind of what I was getting

[00:10:01] Yeah, they don't seem to fear this God with the amount of fear that he wants them to

[00:10:06] Saying dear me and they're like

[00:10:09] Right. Yeah

[00:10:11] I mean, you're just as scary as any other

[00:10:14] much sure

[00:10:16] Say to them this is God again say to them

[00:10:18] This is what the sovereign Lord says, you know, say to them

[00:10:22] I says I says and whether they listen or fail to listen

[00:10:26] They are rebellious people. They will know that a prophet has been among them

[00:10:32] So that means that he's saying whatever the reception is don't worry about that. That's not

[00:10:38] That's not the main point here. The main point is that

[00:10:42] Whatever their reaction is you are delivering this message so that they can't say they later that they weren't told

[00:10:49] Okay, I get that but this is the problem I have with this and he's saying that they will know that the Lord sent him

[00:10:56] Right. How yeah, we talked about this with Jeremiah as well

[00:11:01] There's all kinds of false prophets running around and if you're living during that time

[00:11:07] One from the other they both look like dudes living down the street from you, right? Right? Yeah, I don't get it

[00:11:13] I literally don't get it. I don't either it doesn't make a lot of sense because

[00:11:18] You're supposed to believe this one guy

[00:11:20] Who is one amongst many as you said who may or may not be telling you the truth because there's other people saying different things

[00:11:28] And there's lots of politics happening too like with Jeremiah

[00:11:31] We suspected that he was probably a double agent for Babylon, right?

[00:11:35] So, I mean how's a normal person supposed to know who's really speaking for God?

[00:11:41] Who doesn't have politics in their back pocket? Who is actually telling me?

[00:11:47] So I think that these people are being unfairly judged

[00:11:50] Pretending for a minute that there even is a God judging sure sure and it could be easily solved

[00:11:56] If God would just come down and speak to the people the people instead of person, right?

[00:12:01] He could solve this whole thing and like through his existence and there wouldn't be any question anymore, right?

[00:12:07] You know like he has he always has to talk through

[00:12:11] This one person secluded no witnesses

[00:12:16] Yeah

[00:12:22] Really right like Moses you could say the same thing like the shit that Moses did up on the mountain. Yeah, that was crazy

[00:12:28] That was that was nuts. It really was and I

[00:12:33] Just I don't take a lot of stock in the message here because you're you're having to believe one person

[00:12:39] So and this one person isn't any more believable than any of the other dudes

[00:12:43] Yeah, no definitely and you son of man God continues. Yeah, do not be afraid of them or their words

[00:12:51] Okay, I'm gonna push back. I know I keep pausing in between every sentence

[00:12:54] but I want to push back on that because

[00:12:57] Jeremiah got thrown into a goddamn pit right and was beat

[00:13:02] Prior to that he was in a torture device in those stocks. So I'm sorry

[00:13:08] You can be maybe a little bit afraid of them in their words. Maybe okay still go deliver the message

[00:13:14] But I think it's perfectly natural to have a little bit of fear of these bucks, right?

[00:13:21] They weren't exactly peaceful and loving and to be fair I mean when we did research into this, there's a there's a

[00:13:27] Good chance that Ezekiel got killed by Israelites. You mean I'm not sure. I'm Jeremiah Jeremiah

[00:13:34] Got killed by Israel right stoned today. So

[00:13:39] God kept telling Jeremiah that he was gonna have his back

[00:13:43] Yeah, and then he was gonna protect them and he just needed to go out there and speak the word but then

[00:13:47] according to many accounts

[00:13:50] Jeremiah died in the desert running away from Babylon towards Egypt when they thought he was a double agent and they stoned him to that

[00:13:57] Yeah, like that is that is an actual one of the very

[00:14:02] Highly thought very possible very plausible things that could have happened to Jeremiah

[00:14:07] And I'm like so God didn't protect them right fucked him over

[00:14:11] Yeah, even though he was God's servant according to the Bible according to Jeremiah

[00:14:16] Yeah, and Baruch and all the other dude that took up the writing in his stead. Yes

[00:14:22] Yes, so again as Ezekiel has a good reason to be

[00:14:27] That happened after this time I believe or after this moment

[00:14:32] Yes, so he wouldn't know that but I'm here to say having read this it's okay if you're afraid dude

[00:14:38] Right, you know, I'm here to be that voice of reason. Sure. Don't believe God. It's okay if you're scared

[00:14:45] Do not be afraid though briars and thorns are all around you and you live amongst

[00:14:51] Scorpius

[00:14:53] Sorry, right do not be afraid of what they say or be terrified by them though. They are a rebellious people

[00:15:01] I just think that's a terrible message. I'm sorry. Yeah, I wouldn't say don't be afraid

[00:15:07] I would say, you know hold firm to your message or be brave in spite of all the hardships

[00:15:12] You're gonna endure in the coming days. Sure that would make better sense then

[00:15:18] Even when they're like threatening your life and torturing you don't be afraid

[00:15:23] Hey, why that's not something you can help though. No, like bravery is not a lack of fear

[00:15:30] You know, bravery is being scared and still doing the thing. Yeah

[00:15:36] This is dumb the whole message is done. Yeah

[00:15:39] You must speak my words to them continues God, right whether they listen or fail to listen they are rebellious

[00:15:47] He likes that word in this chapter. Yeah, he keeps repeating

[00:15:51] Are they rebellious? They were bell. I think they were bell. They might be rebels. Yep

[00:15:55] They're pretty rebellious those guys, but you son of man listen to what I say to you

[00:16:01] Do not rebel like that rebellious people. Oh my god

[00:16:09] Soros here

[00:16:12] Open your mouth and eat what I give you

[00:16:16] I mean

[00:16:19] If someone asks you to open your mouth and eat what they give you don't fucking do it unless you really want to

[00:16:25] You say no, don't do it. Yeah

[00:16:28] When you walk in to a room and there's a little table and there's a little cake that says eat me and a little bottle

[00:16:36] That says drink me we've all seen that story. We've all read that book

[00:16:40] We know what's gonna happen. Don't do it right, right?

[00:16:44] Then I looked and I saw a hand stretched out to me in it was a scroll which he unrolled before me

[00:16:50] I'm both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and

[00:16:55] whoa

[00:16:58] Lot the whoa. Yeah, whoa unto them the end

[00:17:02] So God is now handing is he kill a scroll it's a magic scroll

[00:17:12] So, okay, I have a few notes

[00:17:14] Let's see if I can add anything to clear up what's happening. Okay?

[00:17:20] so as we know a zee keel come was commanded and enabled to stand to

[00:17:26] Right

[00:17:29] And then a zee keel having been overwhelmed with the glorious vision in the previous chapter

[00:17:40] He's now strengthened and comforted

[00:17:42] Because God isn't

[00:17:46] I guess it's all in how you view what you're seeing right? Yeah

[00:17:50] So then a zee keel is commissioned to declare to that rebellious house of Israel

[00:17:56] the terrible judgments that would very shortly be coming upon the whole land and

[00:18:02] If they failed to repent, you know, this is what is gonna happen. Yeah

[00:18:08] Let me let me stop you for just a second. This is isn't a zee keel

[00:18:12] We were over some of this the last chapter

[00:18:14] I think but isn't a zee keel down in Babylon with the exiles that went there earlier on yes

[00:18:20] He was in the second wave of those scooped up by battle on so he's assuming that they can still fix

[00:18:27] What's come like this is this is him pitching his story? Yes trying to say we can still fix what's coming down the pike here

[00:18:34] Okay, yes from from afar but

[00:18:37] This is the message that is correct. Okay. Yeah, I'm just just trying to check here

[00:18:42] No, you got it time frames and all that kind of shit is all fucked up

[00:18:45] And that's why I put that time frame together in the last chapter cuz I was like hang on hang on when was this yeah

[00:18:51] I was so confused. Oh, yes, you have the right of it

[00:18:54] Okay, so with a gracious assurance to a zee keel that God would be constantly with him while executing the

[00:19:02] Difficult duties of his office. He gives him these words got it. Yeah, so he's like I'll be there with you

[00:19:08] Don't be afraid and I'm like do

[00:19:12] Yeah, so

[00:19:13] I don't know if you notice but several times

[00:19:16] He called him son of man and that is a new phrase we haven't come across that before okay in the Bible

[00:19:23] All right, and it basically comes to he's calling him near human sure so he's like you

[00:19:31] Like basically he's like a worm

[00:19:34] Callbacks to things that you know, he's called them before and then

[00:19:40] When he says oh, I also wanted to say son of man

[00:19:43] I don't know if you recall but that's a phrase that is used in the Chronicles of Narnia

[00:19:49] Aslan refers to the children as son of man and daughter of each got it so much nicer there though

[00:19:56] It is

[00:20:00] Sure no it's an underhanded way of saying you are

[00:20:04] Beneath me yes and low. Yes, so exactly exactly

[00:20:10] Mere human anybody anytime you call anybody near anything right like you're basically calling them small worthless and trash

[00:20:17] Now I suppose I suppose we're supposed to take it in the sense that

[00:20:21] God is so much higher right and therefore everything to him is mere low and yeah mirror

[00:20:29] But I'm like no, I'm sorry. I don't respect you just because you have you know a doctor code on or whatever right?

[00:20:36] Yeah, you know earn earn it. Sorry. No, I agree

[00:20:39] So at this time the quote-unquote children of Israel as he has called them

[00:20:43] Yeah, um, they still had something of a kingdom in Judah and a temple in Jerusalem

[00:20:48] So to go with you know the timeline that you were presenting those things had not been completely knocked over yet

[00:20:55] Okay, so even so many of them were scattered by the forced exiles under the Assyrians and the Babylonian

[00:21:03] So don't forget the Assyrians had come in and done a little bit of damage too right before Babylon kicked their ass

[00:21:09] Yeah, no there was a lot of upheaval going on

[00:21:11] Yes in that region in general during the time frame and because like the Israelites were occupied by

[00:21:17] Egypt before Assyria and then Babylon and like there was just all kind of shit going on

[00:21:22] Yeah, so Israel was just this little small thing just looking back and forth like a tennis match between these three giant parties going

[00:21:29] Okay, right. Yeah, could I just live? Yeah, and they were like no

[00:21:35] And that's that's the part that bothers me

[00:21:40] I'm sorry guys that these guys were um taking all this and

[00:21:49] It was it was it was just politics. It was it was the upheaval that was going on in that area at the time

[00:21:54] It was just a land grab and it was just politics right and and they're attributing a lot of god

[00:22:00] Shit to all this right there was nothing holy about wanting to own all that land

[00:22:04] Right, it was just it was just the way things were people were conquering this group and they were

[00:22:10] Conquering the other groups and you know, that's how things were going. They were fighting for resources the end

[00:22:14] You know

[00:22:15] so

[00:22:16] Many of them were scattered blah blah blah blah blah and

[00:22:19] So like I was telling you god was saying to Ezekiel that the word was for all of them

[00:22:26] Regardless of where they lived got it

[00:22:29] Okay, so then we go on and Ezekiel is warned that he might suffer cruel treatment

[00:22:35] At the hands of his countrymen which I was like for good reason probably

[00:22:39] I'm pretty sure you will my guy based on history

[00:22:43] But god is telling me I still gotta persevere though, bro. Sure, but that's not the message I took

[00:22:48] Like that's the note of the apologist

[00:22:51] Is saying that he was told he must persevere no matter what I will find you and I'm like

[00:22:58] No, what he said was don't be afraid. Keep going. Don't be afraid. Right. That's not the same thing. No, yeah

[00:23:04] It's not it because he said someone like you could say the same thing early on in Jeremiah

[00:23:09] That he was telling him to persevere and that he had his back

[00:23:12] But ultimately god did not have Jeremiah's back exactly

[00:23:16] It was it was very much not that result at the end of it all right exactly

[00:23:22] So whether they heeded his words or not the people the Israelites

[00:23:27] It was still Ezekiel's duty to deliver that message

[00:23:31] He's also commanded to be fearless, resolute and faithful in the discharge of his duty

[00:23:36] Got it. Okay. Yeah now Ezekiel was not to share

[00:23:40] The stubborn attitude of the people and I'm just like no shit really like of course

[00:23:46] I mean

[00:23:48] You're giving him this message. Of course, he's not supposed to feel the same way as the people right right

[00:23:54] He would be the messenger of very unpleasant tidings like don't shoot the messenger kind of thing

[00:24:00] And that will by its nature expose him to great persecution just like Jeremiah

[00:24:06] And he had to eat the scroll containing god's message

[00:24:10] Wait, what that's what actually when he said eat my words. Oh, that's why I said it's a magic scroll

[00:24:18] He's telling him eat it. Well, so that the word of god is literally inside him

[00:24:23] That is interesting because okay. I'm gonna go off on a little bit of a tangent here

[00:24:28] I'm gonna follow you because I think I know where you're going. There is a legend

[00:24:32] A Jewish legend about golems

[00:24:35] Where they you

[00:24:37] They eat a scroll

[00:24:39] And then they are a protector and that brings them to life

[00:24:43] Yeah, that brings them to life and then they are to do the bidding of whatever that person their master

[00:24:48] Is to have them do basically right like I'm probably not getting that 100 correct

[00:24:53] No, but you have the general of it. So essentially that's the the gist of it

[00:24:58] and

[00:24:59] That is

[00:25:01] I'm very very interested in the connection here between golems and this

[00:25:07] Ezekiel yeah, is Ezekiel a fucking

[00:25:10] Golem?

[00:25:11] Yeah, I don't know that is really really

[00:25:14] Worthy man too. Yeah. Yeah. So he had to eat the scroll containing god's message thereby signifying

[00:25:21] That he made god's message his own

[00:25:24] Before giving it to others

[00:25:26] Got it. Okay. And so like I said, he would have the word of god literally within him

[00:25:32] Now I saw some apologists that were like, no, it wasn't literal

[00:25:36] He didn't really have to eat a scroll. It was symbolic

[00:25:40] It was a symbolic scroll symbolic words a symbolic eating as we all should always eat the word of the bible

[00:25:48] And be ravenous and hungry for the word of god within us. And I'm like, okay

[00:25:53] I mean, that's fine. So then we don't have to take every word literally bro

[00:25:58] You know pick a team pick a side pick a lane. Yeah, where are we going with this?

[00:26:03] Right. So that pretty much ramps up chapter two unless you had anything else to add

[00:26:09] No, I do not

[00:26:12] I just wanted to mention that our cat has been an asshole here right at the end of our podcast

[00:26:17] Yeah, you've been chasing her around

[00:26:20] Quite uh, rambunctious and causing me all kinds of health

[00:26:24] So but we persevered we persevered. We did not let the voices of the country

[00:26:31] Um bring us to their rebellious ways, right? Yeah, we were brave

[00:26:37] in the face of

[00:26:39] This bad bad cat. So all I'm gonna say is that I am very interested in following up with some of this information about the golems and the

[00:26:47] Eating the word that that's intriguing to me. And I'm assuming we'll get into that in a q&a at some point probably

[00:26:53] I will see if I can find anything that even mentions that and yeah, we'll try to get into it because we want to

[00:27:00] Because we want to yeah, that would be a q&a

[00:27:03] Saturday right not today. Which is today. Yeah, that'll be a decide. Yeah

[00:27:09] Um, so anyway, that was a zekeel chapter two

[00:27:12] Sure, spook was which means that we'll be back tomorrow

[00:27:15] But this one we will not be doing alive on youtube because tomorrow is tuesday

[00:27:21] um and well

[00:27:22] It'll the episode will release on wednesday, but it's we recorded on tuesdays

[00:27:27] And we will be doing our regular, uh discord episode for that day and that will be a zekeel chapter three

[00:27:35] Yep, and we'll see you guys then

[00:27:37] Hey

[00:27:39] All right

[00:27:40] So that was a mess. Jesus our cat wasn't being a

[00:27:44] Little cunt burger

[00:27:47] Oh f**k dagney

[00:27:49] Get your life together. What are you doing?

[00:27:51] So just for those of you who are here with us on this live just to go over this with you our cat has a regular

[00:27:59] um interrupt our podcast routine

[00:28:02] where she um uses the litter box

[00:28:06] This time twice actually. Yeah, and we've we've tried to wait her out like we did this time

[00:28:11] And she will go back not successfully. Yeah, and she scratches for like 10 minutes. It's it's ridiculous

[00:28:16] I'm like it's buried stop right when she's not even using the restroom

[00:28:20] She's just doing it to f**king piss us off. I think probably get our attention or something

[00:28:24] She can't stand that we're not paying attention to her

[00:28:26] I think it's because we're talking excitedly and loud and she does tend to get worked up

[00:28:31] Like if we're arguing and we raise our voices. Yeah, usually she attacks me

[00:28:36] And it probably sounds a little bit like but then she tries to get into a cabinet

[00:28:39] And I have to open the one up so that she doesn't try harder to do something else there

[00:28:43] And then she comes over and meows by us and starts scratching at a box

[00:28:47] Oh my god, cool. What are you? Are you the Israelites?

[00:28:53] I think you are a bad kitten. Anyway

[00:28:57] That was a

[00:29:00] That was um, I mean Ezekiel's kind of been

[00:29:04] Fun. Yeah a little bit here right off the bat

[00:29:06] I don't want to say too much because what if you know, we always get our hearts

[00:29:10] Yeah, we get our hopes up thinking this will be fun

[00:29:13] This will be a good one and then like five episodes in we're like never mind. It sucks like all the rest

[00:29:18] Well, that's that's true because they tend to get repetitive because they're written by

[00:29:22] A regular author

[00:29:24] So it's hard to it's hard to judge right off the bat like we're reading something new

[00:29:28] And seeing how it goes and new is cool and new is cool

[00:29:33] But this one's got a lot of stuff to comment on and a lot of crazy shit happening. So I'm really enjoying what we're reading so far

[00:29:40] In so far as it's the bible and in so far as we're atheists and don't believe in god. Yeah

[00:29:46] Um so caveat caveat caveat

[00:29:49] Just to mention this one more time before we slide on out of our live here

[00:30:12] They could maybe benefit from this too, you know

[00:30:14] Is it with a caveat? I'm just really large caveat. I'm just saying like I have some friends

[00:30:19] I would share with and some friends I would not

[00:30:23] Yeah, no for sure
