Getting BIBLACHOL

Halloween is my favorite time of the year, and to help get us into the "spirit" of the season, we pulled together our favorite spookier themed subject matter! From all over the four gospels we cover stories of ghosts, zombies, demon possession, and of course Jesus!

We also impulse bought a 6-pack of a Florida brewery, Coppertail, whose trippel style beer named "Unholy" was just too appropriate for the show that we couldn't pass it up!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

In this episode we cover Genesis chapters 5-9 which includes the famous story of Noah's ark which you've heard a thousand times before, but we also cover the less popular story of what happened the first time Noah got drunk AFTER the flood! 

Also I cover a new offering from the company that started my love of scotch (the water of life) all those years ago, Glenlivet Founder's Reserve!

In our 10th show, and first official scheduled episode since we launched, we decided to go back to where it all started! Literally, the creation of the universe! Join us as we review the first 7 days of creation, immortality trees, and more fire swords! We also explore how Adam royally screwed things up for all of us! Super fun stuff!

And to sorta kinda keep up the theme of starting at the beginning, we get to work on a brand new project that starts off with the oldest licensed Irish Whiskey distillery (from 1608!) Bushmills!

We continue on with the story of Daniel where he continues to rank up the King's corporate ladder by interpreting more dreams, deciphering a phrase written in an illegible celestial language, and committing apparently the worst ancient Babylon white collar felony imaginable: praying in public!

We also explore the world of Gin with the newly released Beefeater PINK, a strawberry infused Gin that is as tasty to drink as it is pretty to look at!

As Jerusalem is sieged by Babylon, King Nebuchadnezzer rounds up the most handsome and smartest of the Israelites to be his personal cream of the crop slaves! Among this freshman class of servants are Daniel and his bet buds who routinely outshine everyone else in their class! It's a tale of standing by your convictions, interpreting dreams, and climbing the ranks of job promotions!

Also, we divert from our normally whisk(e)y loving ways and delve into some wine! Apothic Inferno is on the menu tonight, a red blend aged in whiskey barrels that create a really smooth finish.

So many of the Bible's stories teach us how to live moral, humble, sin-free lives with guidance like the beatitudes, and other teachings of Jesus. These are NOT those stories.

Join in as we go over two back to back stories showcasing individuals doing badass (albeit murdery) things in the name of their people and their freedom.

Also listen as I discuss one of my favorite new Irish Whiskeys named Hell-Cat Maggie based on a supposed real life criminal and Dead Rabbits gang member who, as folklore goes, filed her teeth down to fangs and wore sharp metal finger blades for her fights! Exciting stuff!

The children of Israel, who had recently been freed from their slavery in Egypt, were on their 40 year journey to the promised land when they decided to set up camp near the kingdom of Moab. Unfortunately, The Moabite King, Balaak, went all old man and wanted these dang kids to get off his lawn and attempts to hire a wizard Balaam (similar names, no relation!). Follow the adventure as Balaam, in a desperate attempt to get those dolla dolla bills y’all, tries to get God's permission to curse the same people that had already been declared as under his protection!

Also listen as I drink Ezra Brooks Bourbon....by mistake! (But it's still pretty good!)

As what happens all too much when drinking, Matt goes on a rant of his Top 5 favorite random verses taken out of context! While these passages aren't big enough to make full stories out of all by themselves, they are incredibly entertaining (or atleast potetinal tattoo ideas), ridiculous, and sometimes poignant. 

We would list them all here, but that would literally spoil the whole show! Guess you'll have to listen to see if your favorite verse made the cut!!

Also Matt drink's a bottle he's newly discovered! An Irish Whiskey with stellar bottle design and labeling: The Sexton!

Tamar, a Canaanite woman given to marriage into the line of Judah found herself among a people that were not her own. In a series of unfortunate events that started when God killed her husband, and spiraled down from there. Tamar, a badass in her own right, had the resolve, cunning, and tenacity to go after what she thought was rightfully owed her no matter what! Spoiler alert: This allowed her, a non Israelite, to take her place in the lineage of Jesus himself! 

Also, I dive deep into the back of my home bar (aka I was running low on stock) and drink some E&J Brandy while discussing the roots of this often neglected spirit!

Continue the story of Samson - The Bible's Superhero! 

We start by sipping my favorite daily drinker, Jim Beam Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey! This stuff never gets old to me!

You heard his origin story, and how he's not very creative at telling riddles! You heard about his first true love, and something about foxes, but now hear how the story ends! 

He isn't the hero the Bible needs, but maybe the hero the Bible deserves...
