This episode is the bible discussion which was originally cut from episode 35 with Holly of Method Theology. It was cut for a reason, you could cut the biblical tension with a knife between Alex and Jason and its super lengthy! It's all good though, the guys still love each other, even though they disagree on some verses. Verses discussed in this podcast: Genesis 1-3, 1st Timothy 2:14, and then more of Genesis.
