Remembering Dolly Parton and unpacking one of the wildest Bible mysteries — the Nephilim.
In Episode 76, Brian & Jimmy DeTalente react to the news of Dolly Parton's passing and celebrate the icon behind Jolene, 9 to 5, and Coat of Many Colors — her songwriting, her studio stories (2 takes and done), and films like Rhinestone and 9 to 5.
Then we go deep down the rabbit hole: Denisovan skeletons found on the ocean floor, what Genesis 6 says about the Nephilim, Goliath and his brothers with six fingers and six toes, that ancient particle collider story, and the real question — how tall was Adam?
The DeTalented Podcast is real talk on culture, current events, and Christianity — raw, unfiltered, and every Thursday at 6PM.
