Two hosts, Seth and another, engage in a light-hearted Bible-themed joke competition on April Fool's Day. They take turns sharing jokes, with about half of them found online and the other half written in-house by an anonymous staff writer. The jokes range from wordplay and puns to literary and biblical references. The hosts try to outdo each other, and their reactions and laughter add to the comedic atmosphere.
