    The Serpent, The Dragon, and The Red Pitchfork Guy

    When you hear the name Satan, what comes to mind? Do you picture a man in a sharp suit driving a fast car? Do you picture an actor from a movie you saw once? How about a dragon or snake? If you have been raised in the west with western media then you probably actually imagine a red guy with horns, hooves, and a pitchfork. You also probably assume he is the king of Hell. But what if I told you that the devil is neither of those things, and that his portrayal in Scripture is much more nuanced and revealing than you may have imagined. Join us as we dive into what the bible does (and does not) say about the Devil. We journey from the Old Testament to the modern age to see what we get right and what we get wrong about Old Scratch. 00:20 - Intro 12:11 - Satan in the Old Testament 34:10 - The Intertestamental Period and Demonology 46:58 - Satan in the New Testament 1:03:10 - Where do we get the pitchfork guy? 1:15:24 - A Biblical view of evil 1:19:19 - Conclusion Thank you to our friends for our musicJacob Casey: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7E60rnQGYTO65DTkVpe6D9?si=46ylUvAcTmuoXAXqxvf04gAdam Ward: https://www.instagram.com/adamjward1/Jared ScrowtherIf you want to contact us, send us an email at nocatspod@gmail.com.To find us elsewhere, just go to these links.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nocatspodYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@NoCatsPodSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1TOoYcuujpulwuIuLdDk7V?si=a09b0e516f7b444bApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/everything-but-the-cats/id1712223606Website: https://everythingbutthecats.com

    The Surprising History of the High Five

    This week DJ takes Gage through the astonishing history behind one of the most iconic modern gestures, the high five, and how culturally important it is. Was it born in a legendary Dodgers game in 1977? Does it stretch back to jazz clubs and wartime camaraderie? Was it invented by a cartoon girl who could travel through time? All of these theories will be tested and tried as we seek to discuss the origin of the high five and its roots in African American culture, gay culture, and the broader American culture. Though we are all familiar with the high five as a gesture associated with unity, connection, solidarity, and celebration, there is much history to be seen behind this simple gesture. If you have questions, things we overlooked, or ideas for an episode (maybe you even want to be on for it), please just comment below or reach out to us at nocatspod@gmail.com. Thank you for tuning in! If you liked what you saw today, please like and subscribe if you want to follow along as we continue to talk about everything. But most importantly, stay lovely. 00:19 - Intro 01:52 - October 2, 197707:35 - 1920's and the Low Five 18:58 - Competing Origin claims 48:59 - Glenn Burke and his life 1:10:41 - Concluding Remarks Thank you to our friends for our musicJacob Casey: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7E60rnQGYTO65DTkVpe6D9?si=46ylUvAcTmuoXAXqxvf04gAdam Ward: https://www.instagram.com/adamjward1/Jared ScrowtherIf you want to contact us, send us an email at nocatspod@gmail.com.To find us elsewhere, just go to these links.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nocatspodYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@NoCatsPodSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1TOoYcuujpulwuIuLdDk7V?si=a09b0e516f7b444bApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/everything-but-the-cats/id1712223606Website: https://everythingbutthecats.com
