Welcome back once again to Betwixt the Sheets. Hello. How fabulous to see your fabulous selves. Do come in and take a seat. But before we go any further together, I do have to tell you again, and I will continue to tell you between now and the time that the show eventually gets canceled, this is an adult podcast spoken by adults to other adults about adulty things in an adulty way, covering a range of adult subjects, and you should be an adult too. Right, proceed at your own caution. You have been warned. [medieval music] Between the sounds of bleating sheep, cooing doves, shouting salesmen, and coins hitting wooden tables, you'd have thought I'd have taken you to a marketplace. And I wouldn't blame you for thinking that. This place even has food stalls. But this is not a marketplace. This is a temple, and none other than the Second Temple of Jerusalem.
