I believe that's how it works. We should just call Mike and be like, hey, Mike, how do those cables work?

We'll look into it. But anyway, the show has a topic. This is how it was filming History Unhinged. For once, I was the one staying on topic, and everybody else was like, no, absolutely not.

I know. Also, did we tell the people that the show is on? Or did I forget to do that? That's a great question. I'm going to do that right now. Anyway, while I do that, I'm going to talk about Goliath, because I think that's a... A good place to start here.

Well, that's where I'm going with it. Can you send the link to the Discord? Yeah, of course I can. Thank you. So, one of the interesting little quandaries about the Bible is, is Goliath a giant in the sense that he is supposed to be of the Nephilim, or is he a giant in the sense that he is just larger than everyone else?

And what's interesting about it is that there are some arguments that he is of the Anakim who are of the Nephilim. I... And that puts us in a difficult position interpretively because he is never referred to as a Nephilim himself.

And yet you have this biblical account from a war that occurred during the Bronze Age, or I guess just after the Bronze Age, where they're saying, yeah, this guy is a giant who may or may not be mythological in stature. And that is never explained.

This section of the book, and this is kind of where I'm going with it, there's a lot of parts of the Bible where it will refer to something like Goliath, and it doesn't elaborate. And when you go back and you look at a lot of historical sources, you start to see that exact same thing show up.
