Join Mike in the studio late at night, where he recounts his nightmare adventure of getting his fingerprints taken for a new job, and how the great cyber hack of Birmingham’s City Hall is still going on three months later. It’s a good example of “analog horror” that the kids are all talkin’ about!

Also: what is “analog horror,” and why is it everywhere on the Internet? How it’s evolved from films like Ghost Watch (1992) and The Blair Witch Project (1999) to creepypastas, Slenderman, and whatever the heck “the backrooms” are. I also talk about how we’ve gone in one generation from vehemently not selling out to aspiring to pimp out Hello Fresh and Squarespace. Plus much more, including a quick discussion of “The Quarry” video game.

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.
