30:15 – Who were the “remnant of the giants” and what was their origin? Where was the “valley of the giants” and what race lived there? What other giant race did Caleb have to drive out before he could possess the mountain he desired? Dave in Kentucky explains, with the able assistance of Suno (his songwriting partner) and Pi (his personal A.I. and Bible reader).

2:52:10 – Dave in Kentucky is joined by Eddie Murray (at 42:13), Chad Bowers (at 1:16:36) and Frank Edward Nora (at 1:51:12) for a Twenty-Questionish discussion that is by turns monological and dialogical. This show is definitely bigger than your average breadbox! Synchronicities abound, including one involving Chuck Mangione’s “Feels So Good” that went unnoticed and unremarked-upon during recording.

30:10 – After the battles of Jericho and Ai, which were previously described in detail, the rest of the conquest becomes kind of a blur. There are a few interesting moments, however, like when huge rocks fall from the sky and the sun stands still for about a day. And oh yeah, when a neighboring tribe pulls a scam on Joshua and as punishment they are made to serve as lumberjacks and water boys.

30:02 – Dave in Kentucky completes the first two-parter of the SERMONS series with the story of how “Joshua fit de battle ob Jericho.” What do soldiers marching across a bridge have to do with why the walls came a-tumblin’ down? How did Rahab’s house of ill repute remain standing, since it was built into one of Jericho’s walls? Why does Ella Fitzgerald make an appearance in this episode? Take a listen and find out.

29:48 – Why did the Ark of the Covenant go ahead of the Israelites, when before it had traveled in their midst? Why were the people commanded to stay more than half a mile away from it as it entered the Jordan River? Were those really Levites carrying the Ark, or something else? Why did Joshua’s spies visit a prostitute in Jericho? Why are all Dave in Kentucky’s AI-generated songs in the Bluegrass style? Why ask why?

30:17 – Dave in Kentucky takes an in-depth look at the first two chapters of the Book of Job, and finds not just one God, but several gods. Was Satan one of them? Was he one of the Watchers who descended to earth and spawned the Nephilim? What is Yahweh’s place in the polytheistic pantheon? Was he subordinate to any other god? If so, who? Answers are found in the canonical Book of Deuteronomy, the semi-canonical Book of Enoch, and even in the Psalms.
