Four Guys Gospels

In this historical satire, Mathew, Mark, Luke and John have problems.  People constantly mistake their marketing firm, Four Guys Gospels, for the popular fast-food firm, Five Guys Falafel and mystery clients have hired them to promote a Jewish boy with a Hispanic name as Messiah.
After learning that "angel" means messenger in Greek, they visit GodEx and interview Gabriel about Manny, Moe and Jack, the three shepherds and meet the three wise guys, Frank, Vincent and Murray. The three guys explain their gifts and how following stars to a Rock Concert in Bethel led them to Pritzer's Lakeview in Bethlehem to witness the Messiah's birth.
While Luke listens as Miriam and Yosef describe their teenage son's difficulties with high school and carpentry. Matthew Mark and John try to make sense of Jesus' parables, sermons, and miracles scouring texts of ancient religions existing within the Roman Empire for details to embellish the Jesus legends.
Mathew, Mark and Luke learn that Jesus inability to perform Pilates exercises better than Barabbas condemned him to death. They interview Miriam and Miriam about Lazarus' Man Cave, listen to Jesus' mother and girlfriend argue about his resurrection and at the end of this historical satire, finally arrive at the Mount of Olives Garden, scene of the Last Supper, to meet their mystery clients.
