Love The One You Rape
Genesis 33-35

Esau reunites with Jacob. Jacob's daughter gets raped, but it's ok, cause the rapist loves her; and he's rich. Circumcisions for everyone! Death for everyone! Isaac's still alive? WTF is going on? We discuss it all.

twoMen
The rape of Dinah and it's atrocious aftermath.

Genesis 34: The Rape of Dinah:

Shechem rapes Dinah; his father offers peace to her family; EVERY male gets circumcised as part of the deal; while they're recovering from their surgery, two of Dinah's brothers kill EVERY adult male in the city; her other brothers plunder the homes and make the women and children their prey.

The Iroquois loved living in LOOOOOONG houses.

Wikipedia says:

A longhouse or long house is a type of long, proportionately narrow, single-room building built by peoples in various parts of the world including Asia, Europe, and North America.

In North America two groups of longhouses emerged: the Native American/First Nations longhouse of the tribes usually connected with the Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) in the northeast, and a similarly shaped structure which arose independently among the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast.

At the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, the Russian government built a lab with secret tunnels leading to the drug testing facility to tamper with results.

Sports Illustrated says:

Russian anti-doping experts and members of the country's intelligence services would also replace urine samples that were tainted by performance-enhancing drugs with clean urine collected months earlier. Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov, who was in charge of the testing lab, estimated that as many as 100 dirty urine samples were expunged.

I've read that in parts of Spain people speak with a lisp because some King suffered from one and everyone wanted to sound like him.

ThoughtCo says:

First of all, there was and is no lisp.

If you study Spanish long enough, sooner or later you'll hear a tale about Spanish King Ferdinand, who supposedly spoke with a lisp, causing Spaniards to imitate him in pronouncing the z and sometimes the c to be pronounced with the "th" sound of "thin."

If you get knocked in the head you may end up speaking British!

The University of Texas at Dallas says:

Foreign accent syndrome (FAS) is speech disorder that causes a sudden change to speech so that a native speaker is perceived to speak with a "foreign" accent. FAS is most often caused by damage to the brain caused by a stroke or traumatic brain injury. Other causes have also been reported including multiple sclerosis and conversion disorder and in some cases no clear cause has been identified.

Back in the 1800's, Queen Victoria started speaking "British" and everyone copied her.

English for Less says:

A new wealthy sector emerged during the industrial revolution. These citizens were born with a low birth rank and they were desperately seeking for a way to distinguish themselves from others. They wanted to show by speech that they were much more than simple middle class or lower middle class citizens. They started to use the prestigious non-rhotic** pronunciation in order to demonstrate their new upper-class status.

** non-rhotic pronunciation: Traditional English was largely "rhotic." Rhotic speakers pronounce the "R" sound in such words as "hard" and "winter," while non-rhotic speakers do not.

odious - Episode 8
adjective
  1. deserving or causing hatred; hateful; detestable.
  2. highly offensive; repugnant; disgusting.

Judges 19:22-30: Gibeah's Crime:

...the men of the city, a perverse lot, surrounded the house..."Bring out the man who came into your house, so that we may have intercourse with him." "No, my brothers, do not act so wickedly.

Judges 21: The Benjaminites Saved from Extinction:

...not one of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead was there..."Go, put the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead to the sword, including the women and the little ones...they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins...when the young women of Shiloh come out to dance...come out of the vineyards and...carry off a wife...and go to the land of Benjamin

Judges: 13 3-5:

And the angel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said to her, "Although you are barren, having borne no children, you shall conceive and bear a son. Now be careful not to drink wine or strong drink or to eat anything unclean, for you shall conceive and bear a son.

Joshua 10:24:

When they brought the kings out to Joshua, Joshua summoned all the Israelites and said to the chiefs of the warriors who had gone with him, “Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings.” Then they came near and put their feet on their necks

mantle
"Dismantle" came from The Bible! Ya see, Achan swiped a mantle - he DISmantled a house!
In Episode 59 @ 38:42, Scott saw The Light...

Joshua 7:1-26 & Dictionary.com:

Dictionary.com says dismantle means: To strip of furnishings or equipment. Since the mantle "stolen" by Achan is the first reference to stripped furnishings, it only stands to reason that "dismantle" would be chosen as the word to mean such a thing.
