Proverbs quiz: what scripture says about alcohol
The hosts take an eight-question KJV-worded quiz on what Proverbs says about alcohol, debating answers like 'biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder' versus 'leaveth bitterness in the mouth.' They score 4 out of 8, worse than the 14,000-taker average of 53%, and declare their quiz result 'Gauss Sibleton.'
