Husband and Wife are two non-believers who have always wanted to read the Bible. Why would we subject ourselves to this you might ask? From our perspective it helps us understand where the Christians around us, here in the Midwest, are coming from when they quote the Bible at us. Husband is basically an Atheist and wife leans Agnostic but mostly Atheist and we’re just having some fun at the Bible’s expense while learning more about what our neighbors claim we’re going to hell over.

Husband and Wife cover Job chapter 4: Eliphaz Rebukes Job. One of the bravest things you can say is I DON'T KNOW, so that's what we're doing. Honestly, we have no effing idea what this guy was trying to convey, but it wasn't sympathy, which makes Eliphaz this week's big loser. It kinda sounded like Big E. was trying to say that J. deserves the trou…
 
Husband and Wife cover Job chapter 3: Job Bewails His Birth. In a stunning turn, Job curses except God, which, you know, kinda goes against the grain of the message we've all been told about my dude. Job is like that goth teenager dressed all in black who says, "Ugh, I wish I'd never been born!" He's really turned up about this t…
 
Husband and Wife cover Job chapter 2: Job's Calamities (cont). God dares Satan to be a dick (again), and Satan is like, "Challenge accepted, mf!" (again). Job, who has just lost his livestock, slaves, and children, is now covered in painful boils. His wife thinks he's ugly and stupid, but his friends come sit with him during this bad day. Not sure …
 
Husband and Wife cover Job chapter 1: Job's Calamities. God dares Satan to be a dick, and Satan is like, "Challenge accepted, mf!" Job, a very rich guy, loses his livestock, his slaves, and his children, yet still, for no discernible reason, praises God. We're thinking this is a bunch of bs, tho, so we say, Pics or it didn't happen. Skip the ads by…
 
We just finished reading Esther, so it's time for Husband and Wife to play another round of a game called You're Always Wrong. You may be shocked to learn that we've found a few contradictions in the Bible. No wonder it's so easy to cherry-pick quotes to back up any claim!

Husband and Wife recap the Book of Esther, which is our favorite story of the Bible thus far. These ten quick chapters are full of intrigue, suspense, and cliffhangers. Moreover, the tale still bears important significance for modern Jews, which makes it the first time (for us) that the Bible feels even vaguely relevant. Wife definitely wants to lo…
 
Husband and Wife cover Esther chapter 10: Mordecai's Greatness. This chapter is exactly three sentences long, and yep, it merely reiterates the fact that Mordecai is one bodacious humdinger of a man. Is this fact not written on the back of a Denny's menu? Probably. Skip the ads by joining Acast+ https://plus.acast.com/s/6331d364470c7900137bb57d Tha…
 
Husband and Wife cover Esther chapter 9: The Jews Destroy Their Enemies / The Feast of Purim. The Avengers Assemble and kill like eleventy-krillion people across the nation.

Husband and Wife cover questions about Esther the star-myrtle-river and her cousin-uncle-daddy-husband Mordecai. She was so beautiful that even the angels were compelled to give her a hand.

Husband and Wife cover Esther chapter 7: Haman Hanged. In a surprising turn of fate, Esther finally makes her request — and throws Haman under the bus to give Xerxes an out. Kingy is all too happy for the chance to save face and obliges his wife's petition. Haman is so screwed, and we ain't even mad about it. Skip the ads by joining Acast+ https://…
 
Husband and Wife cover Esther chapter 6: Haman Forced to Honor Mordecai. Xerxes is trying to go night-night, so his babysitter brings him his favorite teddy bear and some warm milk, then tucks him in under his baby blankee and reads him a bedtime story. That's how the kingy-dumplin learns that Mordecai saved his ass. Haman is super disappointed tha…
 
Husband and Wife cover Esther chapter 5: Esther Invites the King and Haman to a Banquet. Esther touches "just the tip" and gets to do The Big Ask. But it really feels like she is just procrastinating by throwing these guys some parties, which places Mordecai in even more hot water as Haman contemplates impaling my guy before dinner. Skip the ads by…
 
Husband and Wife cover Esther chapter 4: Esther Promises to Intercede for Her People. Mordecai begs Esther to intercede with the king on behalf of the Jewish people, but she's like, "Are you kidding me right now? He ain't gonna listen to ME!" To which Mordecai replies, "Did you see what he did to the LAST queen? And she wasn't even Jewish! You're n…

Husband and Wife answer questions about Queen Vashti. Was she wicked and vain, or was she the quintessential feminist icon? Did she even really exist?

Husband and Wife cover Esther chapter 3: Haman's Plot to Destroy the Jews. Mordecai won't bow to Haman, who gets all offended and suggests to the king that they do a genocide, which is obviously the most reasonable response (/s). Worse, Xerxes is totally on board! The chapter ends on a cliffhanger, and for the first time EVER, we are super eager fo…
 
Husband and Wife cover Esther chapter 2: Esther Made Queen / Mordecai Reveals a Conspiracy against the King. King Xerxes needs a new queen to replace the one he just fired, so he has beautiful young virgins brought to his harem so he can try them out — but not till after they have a year's worth of spa days, which, you know, that's fair. He picks E…

We cover the three waves of migration to Jerusalem, as well as the probability of Nehemiah's actual existence and the likelihood that he was a eunuch.

Husband and Wife answer questions about performative prayer, curses, kicking Tobiah outta the temple, and drawing lots to live in Jerusalem. The truth is, Tobiah had it coming, and nobody wanted to live by him, and that's the curse. jk... except for when I said Tobiah had it coming. That part is legit.

Husband and Wife cover Nehemiah chapter 13: Nehemiah's Reforms. This guy is so full of himself. He is telling God what's what and beating up people and pulling out their hair. He is dead set against commingle-babies and cites Moses WHO WAS MARRIED TO A MOABITE. He literally blames 1000+ women for leading Solomon astray, because clearly my dude was …
 
Husband and Wife cover Nehemiah chapter 12: The Priests and Levites / The Dedication of the Wall / The Provision for the Priests and Levites. Nothing even happened in this chapter. Seriously, it's just a list of the same names over and over together. Husband had to edit out all the times Wife yawned. Honestly, Nehemiah is pointless, and he can suck…
 
Husband and Wife cover Nehemiah chapter 11: The Residents of Jerusalem / The Settlement outside of Jerusalem. Our guys vote on who gets to live in Jerusalem, but it kinda sounds like the prize is a punishment and nobody actually wants to live there, which makes no dang sense because didn't y'all just bust your balls building this holy temple? Well,…
 
Husband and Wife cover Nehemiah chapter 10: The People Covenant to Keep the Law (cont). These peeps are super keen on returning to OG Levitical laws. We learn how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop — no wait, it's how many Israelites does it take to replace a light bulb — jk jk jk here's the REAL question: How many Levites, p…
 
Husband and Wife cover Nehemiah chapter 9: Ezra's Confession of Israel's Sins / The People Covenant to Keep the Law. Ezra goes on and on about how stupid and horrible people are. At the same time, he talks at length about how stupendous God is. It's a dumb comparison and anyway it's also boring and a bit of overkill because omg he just drones on an…

Husband and Wife answer questions about timelines and cups. Did the stories of Nehemiah and Ezra overlap? Who knows. It's all a history mystery. But we do find out the importance of being a king's cup bearer, which clears up another question! Finally, we learn that Nehemiah might be the Chronicler, but he was such a gossipy sumbitch that his cowork…
 
Husband and Wife cover Nehemiah chapter 8: Ezra Reads the Law to the People. The timeline is kinda confusing so we aren't sure if this is OG Ezra or "other" Ezra. Regardless, my guy stands there in the hot sun reading the Book of the Law of Moses for SIX STRAIGHT HOURS. Then Ezra told them fools to stop crying and go eat lunch. Skip the ads by join…
 
Husband and Wife cover Nehemiah chapter 7: Nehemiah Appoints Rulers for Jerusalem / The List of Returning Exiles. They finally put up gates to keep out the vampires, and then they do a soft census and build houses. Lots of names (because of course!) and then the chapter literally ends mid-sentence.

Husband and Wife cover Nehemiah chapter 6: The Plots of the Adversaries. This was like an episode of every teen drama ever. I was all like, omg! And then he goes, whatever!

Husband and Wife cover Nehemiah chapter 5: The Payment of Interest Abolished. My guy is very excited to tell us how nice and good he is — to a very sickening degree. He makes the people promise to stop charging interest, which they weren't supposed to be doing in the first place. Then he shakes the crumbs outta his apron and starts grilling out all…
 
Husband and Wife cover Nehemiah chapter 4: The Workmen Guard against the Adversaries. This guy and his buddies ridicule the Jews, call them names, and make fun of them. Nehemiah takes it pretty seriously and has his people stay on guard at all hours, which means no sleep and no clean laundry. They're pretty sure God will fight for them, but they ke…

Husband and Wife cover Nehemiah chapter 3: The Sections Assigned for Repair. Lots of guys built lots of gates, but nobody built walls. There were so many doors with bolts and bars, and a place called "The Angle And The Corner" as well as "The Room Above The Corner." It's like in Narnia when Mr. Tumnus the fawn asks Lucy the location of Spare Oom. S…
 
Husband and Wife cover Nehemiah chapter 2: Nehemiah Sent to Jerusalem / Nehemiah Encourages the People to Rebuild the Walls. We argued over whether or not this is the exact same story as Ezra, and yeah, well, Husband ain't wrong. There's even a repeat of the dung gate. One mystery is why that weirdo Nehemiah examined the ruins at night. I wouldn't …
 
Husband and Wife cover Nehemiah chapter 1: Nehemiah's Prayer for Jerusalem. I swear this guy is as annoying as Ezra with all his crying and praying. "Wah, we suck. Wah, you're awesome. Wah, give us attention." He's like a child pulling at his neglectful parent's robe at the cash register, asking for all those impulse buys like candy bars or lighter…

Husband and Wife recap Ezra, a book which is only 10 chapters. Ezra / Esdras / scribe and (high?) priest / pretty Spring flowers / Moses 2.0 might have been a strong leader and motivational speaker, but he was also racist and way too concerned about whether or not people's bushes were combed. He is also the reason girls gaggle in groups when they h…
