So Mark actually did send me a copy of it, which I said, I will not put out without your permission. Now, certain things transpired where, you know, it kind of came to light that Mark, because of the complexities of his situation, wasn't going to repost the video. But I decided to repost the video on my end in early December.

I said, I'm going to go live with it. And what was his reaction when he said that? He was fine with it. Mark has been pretty behind the scenes, I think, on purpose and for good reasons. He's gotten a lot of flack because of some of the way that the conversation transpired with Billy. But if you ask Mark, he will say, and I think he says in his video, he was so surprised during the interaction.

He's in the room with Billy, and he's just – he's very surprised that –

billy who is mr confidence mr you know ancient evidence uh is is completely collapsing so for billy who usually always has the monologue to say well okay well that's fair let's move on to the next topic i think mark was not to speak for him but i think he was genuinely a little bit confused and so felt like he to a certain degree needed to come to billy's aid

in the course of this conversation because he just felt the kind of secondhand embarrassment that was going on in the room because Billy was really not acting in the way that Billy usually does.

I mean, I think you can strategically put yourself in positions where you're not going to be put on the defense. The thing is with the internet, and I'm sure you know this as well as anybody, Patrick, that like people love sensationalism. And we live in a world where we know a little about a lot, but we don't know a lot about a little. And so we live in this Wikipedia world, right?

You can just hop online. You don't really need to know information. You can kind of – you can – shed that out to someone else, right? And someone else being basically the supercomputer in your pocket. And people love sensationalism. People like to hear the crazy story, the conspiracy theory.

In one sense, it is sensationalistic that you have this first century itinerant Jewish preacher in the backwaters of Roman-occupied Judea who predicts his own death and resurrection and then pulls it off. But... I think people are so used to the biblical narrative about the historical Jesus that they want something else.

It's the same reason the Da Vinci Code got so popular, even though there really wasn't anything historical behind the Da Vinci Code. But people like these kind of under-the-table conversations that are sensationalistic and make you feel like you know something special now.
