The Surprising History of the High Five

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.

Tape Con, Movie Tropes, and the Lovely 90s with Nathan Hurley of Fox Royale

We had the pleasure once again to be joined by our friend Nathan Hurley of Fox Royale and the Royale Cinema Lounge (and many more things by now) to discuss what has been going on with the cinema lounge as well as a lot of movie and tv nonsense. Do you like good music? Check out Fox Royale! Do you like movies, but specifically the feeling of putting a VHS on while there are good food and drinks for sale nearby, and you happen to live in or near Joplin Missouri? Check out the Royale Cinema Lounge! Regardless, we hope you enjoyed the chance to hang out with us while we hang out with an old friend.
