During this week's episode Renae uses a fifty-cent word to describe Dr. B's usual podcasting demeanor. This occurs right after Dr. B explains his challenge with speaking clearly and slowly. Yet he's quickly brought back to his old ways when Renae thinks he's speaking "weird slang". Also watch as Dr. B intentionally gives a brief history/geography lesson but unintentionally uses his hands to do so. Imagine what that map would look like if he had a whiteboard and marker in his hand. Enjoy this week's Biblical Bites! Follow us on social media!
