WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.100 And you got me with a Biden vs. Trump guessing 00:00:02.100 --> 00:00:04.040 game, and now I'm going to hit you with a guessing 00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:13.400 game. Welcome to Nice Ashes. Join hosts Mike 00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:18.679 and Nate for cigars and culture. Let's go beyond 00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:27.910 the smoke. What are we smoking today, Nate? We 00:00:27.910 --> 00:00:31.190 are following up our Chillin' Moose, and we said 00:00:31.190 --> 00:00:33.289 we'd never smoke another one. But here we are, 00:00:33.350 --> 00:00:36.789 smoking the Chillin' Moose 2, and that's T -O 00:00:36.789 --> 00:00:40.250 -O, not T -W -O, and not the letter 2, the number 00:00:40.250 --> 00:00:44.969 2, or T -O, or T -U with the little, like, dashy 00:00:44.969 --> 00:00:47.929 thing above it. Yeah. Great label, yet again. 00:00:48.170 --> 00:00:50.549 Great label. Yeah, the moose is pulling a rabbit 00:00:50.549 --> 00:00:53.030 that's smoking a cigar out of a magic hat. I 00:00:53.030 --> 00:00:55.149 like it. Yeah, I like the labels. I wish the 00:00:55.149 --> 00:00:58.570 cigars lived up to the... Graphic design. Maybe 00:00:58.570 --> 00:01:01.329 this one will. Oh, yeah. Time to light up. Time 00:01:01.329 --> 00:01:04.409 to light up. So this one is the Maduro version. 00:01:04.670 --> 00:01:06.950 Yeah. I'm hoping that we'll get a little better 00:01:06.950 --> 00:01:09.370 experience out of the Maduro. Yeah, the first 00:01:09.370 --> 00:01:13.989 few puffs are fine. Nothing exemplary. Yeah, 00:01:15.489 --> 00:01:18.390 I mean, we've talked about this before where 00:01:18.390 --> 00:01:20.790 it seems like a Maduro cigar is like dark coffee. 00:01:20.829 --> 00:01:23.370 You can kind of hide lower quality leaf with 00:01:23.370 --> 00:01:26.390 a darker cigar blend. So I'm hoping it'll be 00:01:26.390 --> 00:01:29.540 a little better. I'm hoping so. I hope the acetone 00:01:29.540 --> 00:01:32.760 taste of the last one kind of progressively got 00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:35.519 worse or more prominent as we smoked the cigar. 00:01:35.980 --> 00:01:37.799 I'm hoping we don't have that with this, but 00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.060 we'll see. Time will tell. I am pairing mine 00:01:40.060 --> 00:01:43.939 with a Voodoo Ranger IPA. And I'm drinking iced 00:01:43.939 --> 00:01:48.560 Guatemalan hue hue and some water. Nice. Are 00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:52.799 you sure it's not Guatemalan he he he? I am sure. 00:01:52.939 --> 00:01:55.640 I am sure. All right, fine. I was rolling around 00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:00.019 town today and I saw a bag from a roaster that 00:02:00.019 --> 00:02:02.739 I know and I love Guatemalan hue hue. Yep. And 00:02:02.739 --> 00:02:05.739 I fresh ground it and made it. There you go. 00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:09.740 Yes, the hue hue is good. We get some of that 00:02:09.740 --> 00:02:12.800 from Costco. They got the big old bags. I like 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.099 those big old bags. This is not the Costco. Sure. 00:02:15.870 --> 00:02:18.069 No, I like it. I think they have Duluth Coffee 00:02:18.069 --> 00:02:20.210 Company at Costco. They do. That's typically 00:02:20.210 --> 00:02:22.930 what we get. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah. But there's 00:02:22.930 --> 00:02:24.250 another one we get. I can't remember what it 00:02:24.250 --> 00:02:27.610 is now, but the Duluth is good. Very good. Hell 00:02:27.610 --> 00:02:32.210 yeah. Okay. So this is a Nate Knows and Mike 00:02:32.210 --> 00:02:35.409 Does Not episode, but we're going to keep things 00:02:35.409 --> 00:02:37.270 light because we've been getting a little too 00:02:37.270 --> 00:02:39.889 heavy with some of this stuff. I've felt with 00:02:39.889 --> 00:02:44.939 Project 2030 and eating bugs. I don't know, people 00:02:44.939 --> 00:02:46.780 trying to make documentaries, but not very well. 00:02:47.300 --> 00:02:50.080 And let's just lighten this thing up a little 00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.280 bit. So we're going to do, and I'm going to send 00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.000 you, Mike, here in just a second in the chat, 00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:57.699 in our podcast recording here, the list of choices 00:02:57.699 --> 00:02:59.960 that you are going to have, because this is going 00:02:59.960 --> 00:03:02.240 to be a guessing game. And you got me with a 00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:04.259 Biden versus Trump guessing game, and now I'm 00:03:04.259 --> 00:03:09.569 going to hit you with a guessing game. I copyrighted 00:03:09.569 --> 00:03:15.990 that. So I'm going to send you your list of choices. 00:03:16.409 --> 00:03:18.729 I have 50 questions. We don't have to get through 00:03:18.729 --> 00:03:21.289 them all. I just thought 50 was a good number. 00:03:21.590 --> 00:03:23.610 Chances are we're not going to hit all 50. That 00:03:23.610 --> 00:03:25.509 would be insane. Do you have any ideas what you 00:03:25.509 --> 00:03:28.069 might be guessing, Mike? I have no idea what 00:03:28.069 --> 00:03:34.650 we're discussing. All right. This is called Guess 00:03:34.650 --> 00:03:38.340 the Sin. Guess the sin guessing game. So I'm 00:03:38.340 --> 00:03:40.659 going to read you a sin, and you're going to 00:03:40.659 --> 00:03:43.300 guess the religion. And I've put in the chat 00:03:43.300 --> 00:03:45.740 now the different religions you can choose from. 00:03:45.780 --> 00:03:48.439 We've got Christianity, Islam, Jainism, Buddhism, 00:03:48.819 --> 00:03:53.400 Judaism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Zoroastrianism. Oh, 00:03:53.500 --> 00:03:55.870 I put Sikhism in there twice. but it's only in 00:03:55.870 --> 00:03:57.870 there once. But several answers might be that. 00:03:57.990 --> 00:04:00.430 I don't know, so we'll see. As a disclaimer, 00:04:00.990 --> 00:04:05.150 I had ChatGTP write me up 50 guessing games with 00:04:05.150 --> 00:04:08.789 sins, and I went through the first, oh, I don't 00:04:08.789 --> 00:04:12.349 know, 16, and put the actual quotes from the 00:04:12.349 --> 00:04:16.189 religious text. I found through the first 16 00:04:16.189 --> 00:04:20.589 of these that the sin was accurate, but sometimes 00:04:20.589 --> 00:04:23.589 the citation was not. so that it was wrong on 00:04:23.589 --> 00:04:26.209 maybe the chapter or the verse of some of these 00:04:26.209 --> 00:04:28.649 things. But I only did the first 16 because who 00:04:28.649 --> 00:04:31.529 has that much time outside of Matt Walsh to write 00:04:31.529 --> 00:04:34.910 all this stuff down? Right, right, right. You're 00:04:34.910 --> 00:04:36.970 not filming yourself opening jars of pickles 00:04:36.970 --> 00:04:40.230 at home. Yes. Oh, I'm such a strong manly man. 00:04:40.470 --> 00:04:43.490 I ratcheted this jar top down so my wife would 00:04:43.490 --> 00:04:46.040 have to ask me later. Anyway, do you have any 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.519 concerns before we kick this off? This is supposed 00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.879 to be light and fun. I have no concerns. None 00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:54.279 at all. I figured you might be a little more 00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:56.720 versed in some of these other religions than 00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.779 I am. Sure. I mean, I will give you and the listeners 00:04:59.779 --> 00:05:02.079 fair warning. I'm pretty sure I'm on the same 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.680 bowling team as the dude right now. There you 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:08.079 go. There you go. You don't roll on Shabbos. 00:05:08.770 --> 00:05:11.569 Don't bowl on Shabbos. Also, for your bingo cards, 00:05:11.769 --> 00:05:17.709 you can mark that off. Okay, so the first round 00:05:17.709 --> 00:05:20.329 here, we're going to do a softball pitch. Maybe. 00:05:20.470 --> 00:05:23.649 We'll see. You tell me, Mike. You tell me. Greed 00:05:23.649 --> 00:05:27.009 is seen as distancing one from spiritual fulfillment. 00:05:27.550 --> 00:05:31.069 Sure. So that has got to be Buddhism, and possibly 00:05:31.069 --> 00:05:34.550 more than just Buddhism, because I don't know 00:05:34.550 --> 00:05:36.790 a lot about Jainism. But in early Christianity, 00:05:36.870 --> 00:05:39.629 that was definitely the case. And Sikhism and 00:05:39.629 --> 00:05:41.850 Hinduism have elements of that as well. But I'm 00:05:41.850 --> 00:05:43.930 not sure if it's explicit. Like, it isn't Buddhism. 00:05:44.449 --> 00:05:47.589 Yeah. And I guess, you know, to be fair, a lot 00:05:47.589 --> 00:05:50.029 of these, and we don't have to get into a huge 00:05:50.029 --> 00:05:52.569 religious debate, but a lot of religions take 00:05:52.569 --> 00:05:55.870 inspiration, let's say, from other religions. 00:05:56.569 --> 00:05:58.529 At least that's true of, you know, Christianity 00:05:58.529 --> 00:06:01.250 and the Bible. And there's multiple stories of... 00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:03.240 Children being floated down the river who then 00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:05.639 become the king of said country that they were 00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:08.160 picked up in. Oh, yeah. Well, I know that, you 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.259 know, in my catechism, I found a lot of inspiration 00:06:10.259 --> 00:06:14.120 from Christ's, not hatred, but contempt for the 00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.079 wealthy and the money changers. Yeah, whipping 00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:18.360 the bankers and flipping chairs and tables and 00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:20.259 things. So this one actually is Christianity. 00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:24.240 Oh, okay. The Bible, Luke 12, 15. Then he said 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.620 to them, watch out. Be on your guard against 00:06:26.620 --> 00:06:29.500 all kinds of greed. Life does not consist in 00:06:29.500 --> 00:06:32.959 an abundance of possessions. Musk, Bezos, are 00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:37.459 you listening? I'm going to keep, are you going 00:06:37.459 --> 00:06:39.220 to keep track of my score? I'm not keeping, I'm 00:06:39.220 --> 00:06:41.279 not going to keep score. Oh, I'm keeping score. 00:06:41.420 --> 00:06:43.939 Fuck that. I'm a fun guy. I'm a fun guy over 00:06:43.939 --> 00:06:46.279 here. I'm drinking my beer, smoking my cigar. 00:06:46.660 --> 00:06:48.740 We'll see how many you get right. This is not 00:06:48.740 --> 00:06:54.490 about fun, all right? I knew this would appeal 00:06:54.490 --> 00:06:59.050 to your male fantasy of winning. Here we go. 00:06:59.470 --> 00:07:03.189 Victory at all costs. Yeah. So I only did the 00:07:03.189 --> 00:07:05.329 first 16 with the quotes from the actual texts 00:07:05.329 --> 00:07:07.629 because it would take too long to read them all. 00:07:08.029 --> 00:07:10.750 And in the first 16, we hit all of the major 00:07:10.750 --> 00:07:13.810 religions that I sent to Mike. So we'll get a 00:07:13.810 --> 00:07:16.230 sense of their flavor of what their religious 00:07:16.230 --> 00:07:19.730 texts are. And then going forward, I'll say what 00:07:19.730 --> 00:07:22.889 it is. And if you're interested in that, you 00:07:22.889 --> 00:07:25.910 can look it up later. And I might put this on 00:07:25.910 --> 00:07:29.430 our Patreon too, just the copy paste of the questions 00:07:29.430 --> 00:07:31.389 and the answers if we don't get to all 50 of 00:07:31.389 --> 00:07:33.089 them. So you can check it out there. I might 00:07:33.089 --> 00:07:35.850 just make it a free tier one. We'll see. Round 00:07:35.850 --> 00:07:38.250 two, question two. Harming any form of life, 00:07:38.410 --> 00:07:41.850 even in the tiniest, is a moral offense. Hinduism. 00:07:41.930 --> 00:07:45.829 This is actually Jainism. Oh, hey. In Jainism, 00:07:45.910 --> 00:07:49.269 ahimsa, meaning nonviolence or non -harm, is 00:07:49.269 --> 00:07:51.949 a central ethical principle that guides all actions, 00:07:51.990 --> 00:07:54.810 thoughts, and speech. It is considered the cornerstone 00:07:54.810 --> 00:07:57.269 of Jainism and is a crucial step toward achieving 00:07:57.269 --> 00:08:00.050 liberation. From the cycle of rebirth. And I 00:08:00.050 --> 00:08:02.069 don't know anything about Jainism. I know that 00:08:02.069 --> 00:08:05.610 it's very similar to Hinduism. Okay. It's kind 00:08:05.610 --> 00:08:08.649 of that Eastern mysticism type of thing. Yeah. 00:08:08.689 --> 00:08:11.550 I have a book that I'm anxious to read. Not anxious, 00:08:11.629 --> 00:08:13.589 but I'm excited to read. Why the Buddhists are 00:08:13.589 --> 00:08:16.170 right or something. Seems interesting. Oh, for 00:08:16.170 --> 00:08:18.689 sure. Well, they all cross over too. Yeah. So 00:08:18.689 --> 00:08:22.550 in that like Indian peninsula, continental India. 00:08:23.069 --> 00:08:24.990 All those religions kind of mix together. Very 00:08:24.990 --> 00:08:27.810 interesting. Yeah. And I feel there's a lot of 00:08:27.810 --> 00:08:30.430 overlap in religions in general about big things. 00:08:30.589 --> 00:08:32.009 Oh, for sure. I think it's the smaller things 00:08:32.009 --> 00:08:35.389 they differ on. All right. Third question. Speaking 00:08:35.389 --> 00:08:37.929 negatively about others behind their backs is 00:08:37.929 --> 00:08:41.289 condemned. Islam. You are correct. The Quran, 00:08:41.590 --> 00:08:45.750 Surah Al -Huwajat 49 .12. Oh, believers, avoid 00:08:45.750 --> 00:08:49.029 many suspicions, for indeed some suspicions are 00:08:49.029 --> 00:08:52.409 sinful. And do not spy nor backbite one another. 00:08:52.830 --> 00:08:55.070 Would any of you like to eat the flesh of their 00:08:55.070 --> 00:08:57.370 dead brother? You would despise that and fear 00:08:57.370 --> 00:08:59.950 Allah. Surely Allah is the acceptor of repentance, 00:09:00.190 --> 00:09:02.850 most merciful. So I also feel like cannibalism 00:09:02.850 --> 00:09:08.169 is probably not okay with them. Being a hypocrite 00:09:08.169 --> 00:09:10.669 is not okay with them either. I like that. Yeah. 00:09:10.690 --> 00:09:14.909 Yeah. I don't know. I heard it said once where 00:09:14.909 --> 00:09:19.019 of all the philosophies. And we can extend that 00:09:19.019 --> 00:09:21.179 to religions. All the philosophies and religions 00:09:21.179 --> 00:09:24.240 in the world, no matter what they are, each one 00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:27.700 of them has at least one kind of like golden 00:09:27.700 --> 00:09:31.019 nugget to take away from. Oh, okay. I would agree 00:09:31.019 --> 00:09:33.559 with that. Yeah. You don't have to fully agree 00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:35.960 with everything, but, you know, you read, you 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:38.820 know, and the Stoics say to read things that 00:09:38.820 --> 00:09:40.080 you don't agree with because that's the only 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:42.679 way you can grow. But in those things you think 00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:44.340 you don't agree with, you might find something 00:09:44.340 --> 00:09:45.960 you do agree with or something that really does 00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:48.320 resonate with you. So I just wanted to put that 00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:49.759 out there because we're looking at a bunch of 00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.279 different religions and I'm an atheist. But some 00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:53.740 of these things, I mean, there's really good 00:09:53.740 --> 00:09:55.799 tenants in a lot of these religions. Oh, for 00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:57.820 sure. And that's kind of like the Jordan Peterson 00:09:57.820 --> 00:10:01.440 thing where like the religious stories, you know, 00:10:01.500 --> 00:10:06.039 allegorically they're true and very interesting 00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:09.480 psychologically to analyze the ancient religions. 00:10:10.090 --> 00:10:12.129 Yeah. And there's a lot of crossover. Passed 00:10:12.129 --> 00:10:14.750 down or orally, you know, and an interesting 00:10:14.750 --> 00:10:18.090 historical insight. Yep. Absolutely. All right. 00:10:18.110 --> 00:10:20.490 Number four. I guess I'm fucked in this religion. 00:10:20.710 --> 00:10:23.629 Consuming alcohol is discouraged as it clouds 00:10:23.629 --> 00:10:27.149 moral judgment. Islam. This is Buddhism. I'm 00:10:27.149 --> 00:10:29.129 going to try to pronounce this and I'm sorry. 00:10:29.230 --> 00:10:34.389 The Dhammapada verse 22, sorry, verse 246 to 00:10:34.389 --> 00:10:37.840 247. He who destroys life, tells lies, takes 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:39.419 what is not given him, commits adultery, and 00:10:39.419 --> 00:10:42.139 takes intoxicating drinks, digs up his own roots, 00:10:42.259 --> 00:10:45.059 even in this very life. Interesting. Yeah, Islam 00:10:45.059 --> 00:10:49.779 bans drinking also. That quote has a lot more 00:10:49.779 --> 00:10:53.159 than just the drinking, but... Yeah, yeah. All 00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:54.860 right, you're still keeping score, Mike? Yes, 00:10:54.860 --> 00:10:56.159 I am. All right, I'll check in with you every 00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:59.759 10. Question five. Wanting what belongs to others 00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:03.919 is considered sinful. That is... Christianity, 00:11:04.100 --> 00:11:06.700 Judaism, and Islam. Well, give yourself a point. 00:11:06.779 --> 00:11:09.919 This is Judaism. This example comes from the 00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:13.980 Torah, Exodus 20 .14. You shall not covet your 00:11:13.980 --> 00:11:16.259 neighbor's house, you shall not covet your neighbor's 00:11:16.259 --> 00:11:19.519 wife, his manservant, his maidservant, his ox, 00:11:19.700 --> 00:11:21.899 his donkey, or whatever belongs to your neighbor. 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.139 So I feel like that is a lot more progressive 00:11:24.139 --> 00:11:26.799 than the New Testament and the Bible saying you 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:28.620 shouldn't cover his manservant or maidservant. 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.659 you know, whatever you feel attracted to, I guess, 00:11:31.740 --> 00:11:35.080 right? I'm trying to keep this episode light. 00:11:35.179 --> 00:11:37.279 It's supposed to be a fun thing, and we'll see 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.559 how good Mike does. It is fun. It's way more 00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:43.980 progressive. It's fun and educational, I think. 00:11:44.059 --> 00:11:46.820 And it's funny because I talk to Simha a lot, 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:49.639 and, you know, we both grew up Christian, and 00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:53.120 he's now, you know, a Jew, and I'm an atheist, 00:11:53.220 --> 00:11:56.039 but we talk about a lot of this stuff. He likes 00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.240 to make fun of the Christians as I do because 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.279 we both grew up that. And we were just talking 00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:02.580 today about, you know, the New Testament and 00:12:02.580 --> 00:12:06.320 some of the weird shit in there. And the Jews 00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:08.340 don't believe in the New Testament. You know, 00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:10.320 they have the Torah and that's kind of sort of 00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:11.919 the Old Testament, you know, but they have a 00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:14.399 different translation, of course. So it's very 00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:16.820 interesting stuff, I think, if you have an open 00:12:16.820 --> 00:12:19.940 mind. I agree. All right. Question six. Excessive 00:12:19.940 --> 00:12:23.419 pride leads to spiritual ruin. Christianity. 00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:27.960 Ding, ding, ding. Proverbs 16, 18, pride goes 00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:31.799 before destruction, a haughty spirit before a 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:34.620 fall. Tell you what, I'd be down for seeing a 00:12:34.620 --> 00:12:37.820 lot more of the prideful in modern day America 00:12:37.820 --> 00:12:41.460 fall. Yeah, I remember that one too, explicitly 00:12:41.460 --> 00:12:45.799 from my catechism reading the Bible. Yes. I, 00:12:45.820 --> 00:12:48.580 you know, having read the Bible, all these large 00:12:48.580 --> 00:12:50.820 portions of it, not all of it, all of it. Yeah. 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:53.820 I should read all of it. I did find it inspirational 00:12:53.820 --> 00:12:58.500 and intuitive or just similar to reading mythology, 00:12:58.980 --> 00:13:03.399 Greek mythology and other old tales. Like they 00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:06.899 were informative and entertaining. Well, I mean, 00:13:06.899 --> 00:13:09.940 that's kind of the thing is if you read the Bible 00:13:09.940 --> 00:13:13.259 and you. read it from the sense that you understand 00:13:13.259 --> 00:13:15.840 people take everything in there literally, it's 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:18.480 a horrifying book. Like absolutely horrifying. 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:21.539 If you read it in the sense of you would read 00:13:21.539 --> 00:13:24.639 like Greek mythology, it's fascinating. Right. 00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:27.279 Greek mythology is horrifying if you take it 00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:30.919 literally. I think all mythology is probably 00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:34.559 terrifying if you take it literally. Right. Nordic 00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:39.200 mythology is like wild. Yeah. Yeah. So. All right. 00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:43.360 Question seven. Sexual misconduct is morally 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:48.220 wrong and disrupts spiritual growth. Ooh. I mean, 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:49.820 no, it's not the Catholics. It's probably, yeah. 00:13:50.419 --> 00:13:53.360 I mean, God, that sounds like all of them, to 00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:55.039 be honest with you. I'm going to go Sikhism on 00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:56.639 this one because we haven't had a Sikhism yet. 00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:59.899 Okay. But that is a general rule of all religions. 00:14:00.299 --> 00:14:03.120 Yeah, and there's just enough crossover where 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.740 most of these could be applied to almost any 00:14:05.740 --> 00:14:08.409 of these religions. Which is maybe the point 00:14:08.409 --> 00:14:10.649 of the episode, but I'm not as heavy -handed 00:14:10.649 --> 00:14:13.629 as Matt Walsh, so we'll let that be decided by 00:14:13.629 --> 00:14:16.370 the listener. This one's actually Buddhism. The 00:14:16.370 --> 00:14:19.210 Pali Canon and the Five Precepts. I undertake 00:14:19.210 --> 00:14:22.350 the precept to refrain from sexual misconduct. 00:14:22.710 --> 00:14:24.509 There we go. All right, you're going to get this 00:14:24.509 --> 00:14:26.870 one, I feel. I'm rooting for you, Mike. Eight, 00:14:27.009 --> 00:14:29.809 number eight. Use of mind -altering substances 00:14:29.809 --> 00:14:35.639 is to be avoided. I'll say Islam. Hinduism. Hinduism. 00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:40.080 Hinduism. There we go. Yes. Manus Mitri 416. 00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:42.820 He shall not through desires become addicted 00:14:42.820 --> 00:14:45.659 to any sensual objects. Excessive addiction to 00:14:45.659 --> 00:14:48.759 these he shall avoid by mental reflection. There 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:51.080 were some other ones. This is one where it was 00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:53.559 very difficult to try and track down the actual 00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:56.279 quote. There was other ones about like pharmaceutical 00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:59.039 drugs, but it was a little bit different. It 00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:02.740 was worded differently. And this one. I was reading 00:15:02.740 --> 00:15:04.659 some of the, this is why it would have taken 00:15:04.659 --> 00:15:06.700 too long to do all 50 of these, because I was 00:15:06.700 --> 00:15:08.639 reading through like the explanation of the translations 00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:11.080 and what the words meant at the time and everything 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:13.559 in sensual objects. Today means, you know, like 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:17.860 boobs and dicks or whatever, right? And at the 00:15:17.860 --> 00:15:20.279 time it was anything that like tempted you. So 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:23.950 it could be mind altering drugs. And, you know, 00:15:24.029 --> 00:15:25.830 it talks about addictions and things like that. 00:15:25.970 --> 00:15:28.529 Sure. We could really get into the weeds on a 00:15:28.529 --> 00:15:31.529 lot of these things by trying to break them down. 00:15:31.850 --> 00:15:34.309 Oh, yeah. Well, that's part of the reason why 00:15:34.309 --> 00:15:38.250 religious zealots are so moving to people because 00:15:38.250 --> 00:15:42.250 you can reinterpret and reinterpret and reinterpret. 00:15:43.299 --> 00:15:45.500 Yeah. Twist it to whatever you want it to be 00:15:45.500 --> 00:15:49.220 to an extent. Yes. And the only thing that really 00:15:49.220 --> 00:15:52.039 matters in terms of if you're trying to live 00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:56.220 by one of these religions, how the thing that 00:15:56.220 --> 00:15:59.320 was said, what it meant in the time it was said 00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:01.980 is what matters, not what it means today through 00:16:01.980 --> 00:16:04.080 the translation, unless the translation takes 00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:06.179 into account what it would have meant back then. 00:16:06.580 --> 00:16:08.539 Because there's, I don't know, a lot of these 00:16:08.539 --> 00:16:11.559 classics of ancient literature have all been 00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:14.460 translated. thousands of times, at least hundreds 00:16:14.460 --> 00:16:16.519 of times, but sometimes thousands of times, you 00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:20.139 know. And I always try and look for the widely 00:16:20.139 --> 00:16:23.120 accepted best translation, you know, who was 00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:25.659 the one that translated it best, most accurately, 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:28.600 whatever. You know, Marcus Aurelius' Meditations 00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:31.940 is one, like Robert Hayes' translation is widely 00:16:31.940 --> 00:16:34.639 regarded as being one of the best, if not the 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:36.639 best. But if you read somebody else's translation, 00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:39.659 and there's reason to read other translations 00:16:39.659 --> 00:16:42.960 of it because Some translations speak differently 00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:45.500 to individuals than other translations do. So 00:16:45.500 --> 00:16:47.519 it's kind of the same thing with a lot of these 00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:49.340 religious texts because they weren't written 00:16:49.340 --> 00:16:52.120 in English, except maybe Mormonism is probably 00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:54.840 the only one that was. But everything else wasn't 00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:57.159 written in English. So it's all a translation 00:16:57.159 --> 00:16:59.620 of a translation in a lot of cases. Absolutely. 00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:02.320 I mean, the original books of the New Testament 00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:05.400 were potentially Aramaic. And there's like a 00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:06.940 couple hundred people on the planet that are 00:17:06.940 --> 00:17:09.920 native Aramaic speakers. You know, so. Yeah. 00:17:09.980 --> 00:17:11.700 And they were translated to Greek and then Latin 00:17:11.700 --> 00:17:14.640 and then English. Yep. And don't get me started 00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:20.279 on King James. Question nine. Taking what isn't 00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:25.400 freely given is a sin. Zoroastrianism. Sickism. 00:17:25.900 --> 00:17:29.279 Like, there we go. So it was tough to kind of 00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:31.779 find this one because, I mean, you know, taking 00:17:31.779 --> 00:17:33.839 what isn't freely given is a sin. Well, that 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:35.940 could be Christianity. Don't covet thy neighbor's 00:17:35.940 --> 00:17:38.059 wife. That sort of thing, you know. But this 00:17:38.059 --> 00:17:41.279 one here, the actual quote is, if I've committed 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:44.619 theft and gained something, I have gained dishonor 00:17:44.619 --> 00:17:47.420 in this world and the next. So they're pretty 00:17:47.420 --> 00:17:51.380 against it. Yeah, I like it. Go Seeks. Go Team 00:17:51.380 --> 00:17:54.220 Seek. Yeah. I know somebody who has a family 00:17:54.220 --> 00:17:56.660 emerald mind that might not be well -received 00:17:56.660 --> 00:18:02.579 in Seekism. But anyway, question 10. I don't 00:18:02.579 --> 00:18:05.759 mean to be extra salty, but fuck it. It's all 00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:09.690 fun and games. Yes. Yes. We're supposed to have 00:18:09.690 --> 00:18:11.910 fun this episode. This is a fun episode. Not 00:18:11.910 --> 00:18:14.730 that any of them are unfun. Not that any of them 00:18:14.730 --> 00:18:16.470 are unfun. But, you know, sometimes you got to 00:18:16.470 --> 00:18:18.089 lighten the mood a little bit. Yeah, you'll have 00:18:18.089 --> 00:18:21.150 less editing for this episode. God, I hope so. 00:18:21.690 --> 00:18:24.750 Allah, I hope so. Flying spaghetti monster, I 00:18:24.750 --> 00:18:26.890 hope so. All right. Question 10, and then we're 00:18:26.890 --> 00:18:28.369 going to do a score check and a cigar check. 00:18:28.970 --> 00:18:32.910 Breaking a solemn vow is a severe moral fault. 00:18:33.150 --> 00:18:36.869 Ooh. It's got to be Zoroastrianism, because I 00:18:36.869 --> 00:18:38.349 think that's the only one that we haven't covered. 00:18:38.490 --> 00:18:41.829 You said. You would be right. Yeah. So, this 00:18:41.829 --> 00:18:47.009 is Zorian Astronism, Zoroastrianism, the Avesta, 00:18:47.009 --> 00:18:51.710 Farguard 18. But I have like 27 on the quote 00:18:51.710 --> 00:18:54.569 here, so. You know, figure it out. May herds 00:18:54.569 --> 00:18:58.049 of oxen and sons accrue to thee. May thy mind 00:18:58.049 --> 00:19:00.890 be a master of its vow. May the soul be a master 00:19:00.890 --> 00:19:03.769 of its vow. And mayest thou live on in the joy 00:19:03.769 --> 00:19:07.410 of thy soul all the nights of thy life. That 00:19:07.410 --> 00:19:09.609 is some old -timey religious talk right there. 00:19:09.690 --> 00:19:12.190 Yeah, and this makes me realize I have no idea 00:19:12.190 --> 00:19:16.569 what the fuck Zoroastrianism is. I know the basic 00:19:16.569 --> 00:19:19.990 outline of it. Oh, well, all right. I do. I know 00:19:19.990 --> 00:19:22.190 the basic outline of it. It's a dead religion. 00:19:22.230 --> 00:19:23.910 Well, it's not a dead religion, but there's not 00:19:23.910 --> 00:19:27.269 a lot of people like the Muslims. First the Christians, 00:19:27.369 --> 00:19:29.630 then the Muslims have persecuted them for the 00:19:29.630 --> 00:19:32.650 last 1 ,000 years, 2 ,000 years. So not many 00:19:32.650 --> 00:19:35.029 of them left. Most of them converted. What is 00:19:35.029 --> 00:19:37.960 religion without persecuting? Well, right. I 00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:39.740 mean, honestly, if you're going to be religious, 00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:41.579 you might as well persecute a couple people. 00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:43.920 You got to. If you're not going to be burning 00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:45.980 witches at the stake. It's right there in the 00:19:45.980 --> 00:19:49.099 name. You got to do it. Yeah, I mean, I like 00:19:49.099 --> 00:19:52.079 barbecue. I also like bonfires. There you go. 00:19:52.700 --> 00:19:54.559 All right, where are you at score -wise, Mike? 00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:57.279 I am at a pathetic four, and that is including 00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:03.700 two half points. Well, that's okay. I would score 00:20:03.700 --> 00:20:06.079 really poorly in this one, I think. That's why 00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:08.880 I'm asking you these questions. Yeah, well, you 00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:12.619 know, I think I see a trend. I think I see a 00:20:12.619 --> 00:20:14.980 trend. Okay. I'm not going to spoil it for the 00:20:14.980 --> 00:20:16.839 viewer if they haven't noticed the trend yet, 00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:21.000 but I'm feeling a trend. Okay. Well, you know, 00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:23.480 that's good. Get your head in the game, and we'll 00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:25.619 see if that pays off. What do you think about 00:20:25.619 --> 00:20:29.319 the cigar, Mike? It's better than the last one. 00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:31.720 It's better than the last one. It's spicier. 00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:34.319 Yep. The spice didn't kick in until about, I 00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:36.799 don't know, an inch in, though. And that's fine. 00:20:36.980 --> 00:20:39.119 That's true. That's true. That spiciness has 00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:41.200 largely covered up the acetone that it started 00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:45.160 off with, in my opinion. So it's better. I still 00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:48.720 say it is darker, it is spicier, and it's still 00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:51.839 just a bin cigar, in my opinion. I'm not overly 00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:54.410 thrilled with it. But I do like it better than 00:20:54.410 --> 00:20:56.630 the last one for what it's worth. All right. 00:20:56.670 --> 00:20:59.529 Mike has a strategy in mind, and that's a beautiful 00:20:59.529 --> 00:21:01.430 thing. We've got more questions to get through. 00:21:01.470 --> 00:21:03.450 We'll see if that strategy pays off. Question 00:21:03.450 --> 00:21:07.930 11. Indulging in envy disrupts inner peace and 00:21:07.930 --> 00:21:12.609 divine connection. Ooh. Missy Jane -ism. You 00:21:12.609 --> 00:21:15.829 would be wrong. This is Christianity, James 3 00:21:15.829 --> 00:21:26.599 .16. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, 00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:30.079 there you find disorder and every evil practice. 00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:32.420 Now, here's a question for you, Nate. Now that 00:21:32.420 --> 00:21:35.720 we have the exact, no doubt, King James Version 00:21:35.720 --> 00:21:40.519 read off. Yes. The Witch Hunter General or whatever. 00:21:41.220 --> 00:21:44.880 I find it interesting that that is in Christianity 00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:48.180 because I'm pretty sure there's elements of that 00:21:48.180 --> 00:21:52.420 in Buddhism. and Hinduism, and probably Sikhism. 00:21:53.180 --> 00:21:57.559 Well, I mean, that's the whole thing. So what 00:21:57.559 --> 00:22:01.359 I wanted to do was find all the weirdest sins, 00:22:01.700 --> 00:22:05.440 like the fucking strangest ones, man. And I just 00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:07.980 wasn't having any luck with that. They were all 00:22:07.980 --> 00:22:10.940 like Christian sins, right, from the Bible. I 00:22:10.940 --> 00:22:14.319 couldn't find like really bizarre sins from other 00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:16.420 religions, so it would have been a terrible guessing 00:22:16.420 --> 00:22:19.160 game. Well, yeah, and the weird ones are well 00:22:19.160 --> 00:22:22.740 known. Yeah. No eating beef, but you can eat 00:22:22.740 --> 00:22:26.200 buffalo. You can't eat cattle. Don't plant two 00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:28.859 crops in the same field. Don't wear clothing 00:22:28.859 --> 00:22:31.920 of two different materials. Don't, you know, 00:22:31.940 --> 00:22:33.900 like all of these things, you know, and they're 00:22:33.900 --> 00:22:36.559 all mostly from the Bible. And you could, you 00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:38.119 know, extrapolate that to some other religions 00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:40.480 perhaps. But, like, you'd have to almost have, 00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:42.980 like, a PhD in all these other religions to find 00:22:42.980 --> 00:22:45.460 out the weirdest, like, things. And it wasn't 00:22:45.460 --> 00:22:48.180 a quick, you know, research trip down the Google 00:22:48.180 --> 00:22:50.960 lane or whatever. So that's why it kind of changed 00:22:50.960 --> 00:22:53.180 into, like, guess the sin guessing game instead 00:22:53.180 --> 00:22:56.339 of these are some fucking weird sins. Guess what 00:22:56.339 --> 00:22:58.920 they're from. And then you could just guess Christianity 00:22:58.920 --> 00:23:01.420 and be right every single time. But again, we 00:23:01.420 --> 00:23:03.799 said this at the top of the episode, like a lot 00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:06.819 of these religions have more overlap than followers 00:23:06.819 --> 00:23:09.839 of these religions oftentimes will admit to. 00:23:09.960 --> 00:23:13.220 And that is fun for our episode and should be 00:23:13.220 --> 00:23:16.200 fun in real life. But I guess it's, you know, 00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:18.599 served in most cases to drive a wedge between 00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:20.900 a lot of these people, hence the persecution. 00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:24.180 Maybe that's the point of the episode is we can 00:23:24.180 --> 00:23:26.740 have fun and say, you know, this could actually 00:23:26.740 --> 00:23:28.440 apply to a lot of these different religions because 00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:30.420 we have a moderate understanding of these other 00:23:30.420 --> 00:23:33.019 religions and their basic tenets and principles. 00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:36.460 And this would fit most of them, if not all of 00:23:36.460 --> 00:23:39.619 them. So did I do the Matt Walsh thing and went 00:23:39.619 --> 00:23:41.359 too heavy handed with that, Mike? No, I don't 00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:43.380 think so. You could be attacking me and trying 00:23:43.380 --> 00:23:45.819 to get me to say something really stupid. No, 00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:48.559 I'm not trying to attack you. No, obviously not. 00:23:50.460 --> 00:23:53.000 Why won't you pay the black man? We have a black 00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:55.460 man right here. Why won't you pay him? Go get 00:23:55.460 --> 00:23:58.140 your white woman purse and pay the black man. 00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:03.660 Why won't you say that you love Islam? Zoroaster 00:24:03.660 --> 00:24:06.259 was the greatest. Why would you not admit this? 00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:10.700 I thought Zoroaster was the little machine Tom 00:24:10.700 --> 00:24:17.119 Hanks went to in Big. There we go. Zoltran. Sorry, 00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:21.440 everybody. Late episode, I said. All right. I 00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:23.440 think you're going to get this one, Mike. You're 00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:26.119 going to get this one. I believe in you. Question 00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:31.000 12. Lying is a violation of sacred speech. Oh. 00:24:32.059 --> 00:24:34.059 I'm going to go Sikhism. That seems like it'll 00:24:34.059 --> 00:24:37.440 work. It will not, Mike. It will not. This is... 00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:54.859 Oh, there we go. Yeah, good times. This is Buddhism, 00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:58.480 the polycanon right speech. And what is right 00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:01.420 speech? Abstaining from lying, from divisive 00:25:01.420 --> 00:25:04.480 speech, from abusive speech, and from idle chatter. 00:25:04.740 --> 00:25:07.740 This is called right speech. There go all of 00:25:07.740 --> 00:25:09.599 our news media outlets, Mike. They're all gone. 00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:11.099 I was going to say, that sounds like some 1984 00:25:11.099 --> 00:25:16.789 shit right there. Yep. Question 13. Wastefulness 00:25:16.789 --> 00:25:20.549 is frowned upon as it disrespects creation. Ooh. 00:25:21.769 --> 00:25:24.049 I'm going to go Jainism. Got to go back to the 00:25:24.049 --> 00:25:26.569 Jainism. All right. All right. This is Islam. 00:25:27.289 --> 00:25:32.349 The Quran. Surah Al -Araf, 731. Oh, children 00:25:32.349 --> 00:25:36.230 of Adam, dress properly wherever you are at worship. 00:25:36.289 --> 00:25:39.150 Eat and drink, but do not waste. Surely he does 00:25:39.150 --> 00:25:42.589 not like the wasteful. I feel like that... That's 00:25:42.589 --> 00:25:45.269 another one of those. I think I'm sensing a trend 00:25:45.269 --> 00:25:48.490 here, Nate. The trend is there's a lot more in 00:25:48.490 --> 00:25:50.750 common than there is in difference. Surely not. 00:25:50.869 --> 00:25:53.410 Surely not. No, they all hate each other, of 00:25:53.410 --> 00:25:57.710 course. Right. Okay, this next one, I feel like 00:25:57.710 --> 00:25:59.990 this is like the underhand pitch of the wiffle 00:25:59.990 --> 00:26:03.170 ball in gym class. Because the girl that likes 00:26:03.170 --> 00:26:06.230 you is tossing you the ball that you can hit 00:26:06.230 --> 00:26:08.619 with your bat. So you can get like a home run, 00:26:08.740 --> 00:26:11.220 okay? I want you to pay attention to the words 00:26:11.220 --> 00:26:13.140 I'm about to use, obviously, because that's how 00:26:13.140 --> 00:26:14.559 you're going to know I'm asking you a question, 00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:21.119 right? Sure. Listen to the words coming out of 00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:23.539 my mouth so you know how to answer the words 00:26:23.539 --> 00:26:26.680 coming out of my mouth. Okay, question 14. Cheating 00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:30.079 others in business is a sin. Oh, I know what 00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:33.519 it's not. I'm not going to say it. I'm not going 00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:36.000 to say it. You almost had me. It's going to be 00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:37.700 another hot takes, and I'm not going to do it. 00:26:41.779 --> 00:26:44.099 I'm going to say Zoroastrianism. Got to go for 00:26:44.099 --> 00:26:46.480 an old boy Zoro. Come on, man. Do you need to 00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:49.819 phone a friend? Do you want to re -guess? I'm 00:26:49.819 --> 00:26:51.920 going to say Judaism. You'd be right. Judaism, 00:26:52.140 --> 00:26:56.599 the Torah, Leviticus 19, 35 through 36. So the 00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:00.059 problem with Judaism and Christianity is... They 00:27:00.059 --> 00:27:04.440 use the same books for, you know, at least half 00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:07.339 of their religious texts. The interpretations 00:27:07.339 --> 00:27:09.759 might be different, and they have different supplemental 00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:11.880 texts. There's a lot of crossover, and Islam 00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:14.680 is the same, because Islam uses the Torah also. 00:27:14.900 --> 00:27:18.960 Yeah. Parts of it or whatever. I'm not 100 % 00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:23.859 sure. Yeah, they're all very similar, and Christianity 00:27:23.859 --> 00:27:27.960 uses the New Testament, which Judaism doesn't. 00:27:29.500 --> 00:27:33.799 Islam uses the prophet Muhammad instead of Jesus, 00:27:34.059 --> 00:27:37.200 I believe. But I believe, and I might be wrong, 00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:40.559 that Jesus makes an appearance in the Quran, 00:27:40.700 --> 00:27:44.799 but is merely a prophet instead of the literal 00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:48.000 son of God. Yes. And they also consider the New 00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:51.400 Testament to be corrupted. And I think they consider 00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:55.480 the Torah partially corrupted. Yep. Half -y, 00:27:55.500 --> 00:27:58.559 half -y, I guess. Half true, half not. I'm not 00:27:58.559 --> 00:28:01.400 100 % sure about that. Yeah, I don't know the 00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:04.039 percentages, how they shake out. But I know there's 00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:06.180 a lot of crossover, like you said, and they all 00:28:06.180 --> 00:28:09.099 have kind of differing opinions past the Old 00:28:09.099 --> 00:28:13.039 Testament. Let's just say that. Yes. So this 00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:17.099 one is Judaism, Leviticus. You shall do no wrong 00:28:17.099 --> 00:28:19.619 in judgment in measure of length or weight or 00:28:19.619 --> 00:28:22.759 quantity. You shall have just balances, just 00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:34.819 weights, a just... I added that last bit, but 00:28:34.819 --> 00:28:37.940 you know. I think a lot of the rules in the Old 00:28:37.940 --> 00:28:42.400 Testament are amongst Jews only. Leviticus for 00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:46.920 sure is Judaism only, I believe, because that's 00:28:46.920 --> 00:28:50.680 where you don't lay with a woman who is bleeding. 00:28:51.210 --> 00:28:53.990 You don't eat pork. You do no work on the Sabbath, 00:28:54.150 --> 00:28:56.829 that sort of thing. They're almost rules specific 00:28:56.829 --> 00:29:01.269 to Jews. Yes. From my understanding. And I actually 00:29:01.269 --> 00:29:04.470 had an interesting conversation with Simha about 00:29:04.470 --> 00:29:07.450 this, where I was basically saying like, you 00:29:07.450 --> 00:29:09.829 know, like Leviticus and all that applies to 00:29:09.829 --> 00:29:15.269 Jews. And it's really kind of more anthropologically 00:29:15.269 --> 00:29:19.869 speaking, like passing on medical advice. for 00:29:19.869 --> 00:29:22.349 healthy living advice. Because at that time, 00:29:22.569 --> 00:29:25.069 you know, eating pork or doing this or the other 00:29:25.069 --> 00:29:27.750 thing, or they didn't understand germs. And so 00:29:27.750 --> 00:29:29.930 like laying with somebody who's bleeding is probably 00:29:29.930 --> 00:29:32.349 a bad idea if you don't know what you're doing, 00:29:32.470 --> 00:29:34.910 right? You don't have modern medicine and stuff 00:29:34.910 --> 00:29:37.130 like that. And he kind of came back and said, 00:29:37.190 --> 00:29:39.109 you know, that's all fine and good, but we don't 00:29:39.109 --> 00:29:41.930 do it because of that. Like we don't do it necessarily 00:29:41.930 --> 00:29:44.190 because we... believe this or that or the other 00:29:44.190 --> 00:29:46.150 thing like we believe that you know like you 00:29:46.150 --> 00:29:48.710 can eat clean pork nowadays but that's not why 00:29:48.710 --> 00:29:51.849 we're kosher uh we're kosher because that's what 00:29:51.849 --> 00:29:55.069 god asked us to do and we're just doing it because 00:29:55.069 --> 00:29:56.829 he asked us and i was like well that's an easy 00:29:56.829 --> 00:29:59.069 way to look at it well yeah that's true now for 00:29:59.069 --> 00:30:01.730 sure i mean well yeah and i like like i that's 00:30:01.730 --> 00:30:03.410 not a slight i just mean like that was a very 00:30:03.410 --> 00:30:06.650 interesting um perspective that i'd never considered 00:30:06.650 --> 00:30:11.150 before you know like you know i just an eye -opening 00:30:11.150 --> 00:30:13.059 thing for me as an atheist and Like, why would 00:30:13.059 --> 00:30:15.720 I do something the man in the sky wants, you 00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:18.920 know? Right, not cheating your customers is probably 00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:21.680 a healthy practice for your society. Especially 00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:25.299 if it was an issue previous to moving away from 00:30:25.299 --> 00:30:28.180 Egypt, let's say, right? Like, if your society 00:30:28.180 --> 00:30:30.559 picked up bad habits from the Egyptians, probably 00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:32.819 wise to clean up some of those bad business practices, 00:30:33.099 --> 00:30:36.680 you know? Well, yeah. And a lot of, what is it, 00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:40.410 Islam or the Muslims? Still cut off a hand if 00:30:40.410 --> 00:30:42.490 you steal. In some countries, supposedly. In 00:30:42.490 --> 00:30:46.470 some countries, yeah. So, yeah, very interesting 00:30:46.470 --> 00:30:50.130 stuff. Okay, question 15. Malice towards others 00:30:50.130 --> 00:30:53.529 is spiritually destructive. Buddhism. This one 00:30:53.529 --> 00:30:57.890 is Sikhism. Terrible scheme. So close, so close. 00:30:57.970 --> 00:31:01.710 Terrible scheme. Almost like you're not a believer, 00:31:01.829 --> 00:31:05.190 Mike. It's almost like they're all the same. 00:31:05.230 --> 00:31:10.380 I mean... It's almost like they're all ambiguous 00:31:10.380 --> 00:31:13.900 enough that it could almost be any one of these 00:31:13.900 --> 00:31:16.740 things. Yeah, this one I couldn't find, but it 00:31:16.740 --> 00:31:23.059 says it's the Guru Granth Sahib. He is the Lisan 00:31:23.059 --> 00:31:29.740 Madib, 1374, allegedly. So again, some of these 00:31:29.740 --> 00:31:32.200 religions, if they're not Christianity or Judaism 00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:36.240 or Buddhism or Islam. It's very difficult to 00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:39.859 find the actual texts, at least, on English Google. 00:31:40.180 --> 00:31:43.380 Right, yeah. There's no need. It's a very niche 00:31:43.380 --> 00:31:49.259 thing. It's difficult. That's why I couldn't 00:31:49.259 --> 00:31:51.480 do all of them. And this next one here, question 00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:53.720 16, is the last one I actually looked up the 00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:55.920 stuff. But I'll tell you all the things, and 00:31:55.920 --> 00:31:58.680 I'll post this on our Patreon for free. So if 00:31:58.680 --> 00:32:00.619 you want to look these up and check them out, 00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:03.400 that's on you. And that's good. I mean, that's 00:32:03.400 --> 00:32:05.119 the whole point. Well, not the whole point. The 00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:06.559 whole point is to have fun. But the other point 00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:09.119 is, if some of these things speak to you, then 00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:11.319 check it out. Maybe there's something in these 00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:13.799 other religions or philosophies or however you 00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:15.549 want to view them that might... be applicable 00:32:15.549 --> 00:32:17.630 to your life or something you might take away 00:32:17.630 --> 00:32:19.390 and say, hey, that's kind of a neat idea. I've 00:32:19.390 --> 00:32:21.650 never thought of that before. All right, question 00:32:21.650 --> 00:32:24.710 16. You're going to get this one. I know you 00:32:24.710 --> 00:32:27.829 will. I believe in you. Selfishness weakens one 00:32:27.829 --> 00:32:31.549 connection to the divine. Buddhism. So close. 00:32:32.009 --> 00:32:36.170 So close. Jainism. Even not closer, further. 00:32:36.950 --> 00:32:41.730 Zoroastrianism. This is Hinduism. Hinduism. This 00:32:41.730 --> 00:32:47.539 is the... Bhagavad Gita 316. O Parth, those who 00:32:47.539 --> 00:32:50.039 do not accept their responsibility in the cycle 00:32:50.039 --> 00:32:53.700 of sacrifice established by the Vedas are sinful. 00:32:53.940 --> 00:32:56.059 They live only for the delight of their senses. 00:32:56.319 --> 00:32:59.500 Indeed, their lives are in vain. There we go. 00:32:59.740 --> 00:33:02.440 Yes. Well, and I know we've talked previously 00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:05.920 about Ayn Rand and how I was a huge follower 00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:09.019 of Ayn Rand for a bit. And her thing was selfishness 00:33:09.019 --> 00:33:12.519 is awesome and the best thing in the world. And 00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:14.980 the one thing, and again, so like at the beginning 00:33:14.980 --> 00:33:17.019 of the episode, we were talking about, you know, 00:33:17.019 --> 00:33:19.579 every philosophy or religion has at least one 00:33:19.579 --> 00:33:22.259 good thing you can take away from it, hopefully. 00:33:22.500 --> 00:33:25.680 And the thing I took away from objectivism, Ayn 00:33:25.680 --> 00:33:29.849 Rand's philosophy. was don't accept unearned 00:33:29.849 --> 00:33:32.910 guilt, which is huge with mother -in -laws, with 00:33:32.910 --> 00:33:35.710 mothers. Family is huge on that. They love to 00:33:35.710 --> 00:33:38.069 try and saddle you with guilt that you actually 00:33:38.069 --> 00:33:41.710 didn't earn. And these DEI people want to saddle 00:33:41.710 --> 00:33:44.069 you with stuff that's unearned. So, you know. 00:33:44.130 --> 00:33:47.309 Yeah. It's very strange, the obsession with inherited 00:33:47.309 --> 00:33:49.950 guilt going on in our society right now. Yeah. 00:33:50.269 --> 00:33:52.490 And, you know, that was one of the things. And 00:33:52.490 --> 00:33:54.329 we didn't talk about it last episode, but the 00:33:54.329 --> 00:33:56.309 PhD student was talking about like the self and 00:33:56.309 --> 00:33:59.089 the shadow self. And the shadow self is the one 00:33:59.089 --> 00:34:01.369 that's like a descendant of the slave owners 00:34:01.369 --> 00:34:03.849 of all white people. Because, of course, all 00:34:03.849 --> 00:34:06.250 white people own slaves. All white people were 00:34:06.250 --> 00:34:08.250 wealthy enough at the time to own slaves. It 00:34:08.250 --> 00:34:11.170 wasn't just the rich elite. Heavy sarcasm. All 00:34:11.170 --> 00:34:14.590 right. Question 17. I'm excited for you, Mike. 00:34:14.889 --> 00:34:18.949 Betrayal of trust is a moral wrongdoing. Zoroastrianism. 00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:21.059 And you nailed it, just like I knew you would. 00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:22.940 I think it was because of the language used. 00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:25.960 Those are our astronisms. They're pretty old 00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:29.219 -timey. Yep, they do like that. This is the Vesta 00:34:29.219 --> 00:34:33.179 Venidad 4, allegedly. Allegedly. Question 18. 00:34:33.539 --> 00:34:35.460 Again, like I said, I only fact -checked the 00:34:35.460 --> 00:34:38.900 first 16. 18. Harboring ill will is a spiritual 00:34:38.900 --> 00:34:42.000 hindrance. I'm going to go Buddhism. We haven't 00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:44.539 had Buddhism in a while. Yeah, man, and you fucking 00:34:44.539 --> 00:34:49.699 nailed it. Anything that is centered around that 00:34:49.699 --> 00:34:52.900 Indian peninsula, they're all there. They have 00:34:52.900 --> 00:34:55.960 similar language and similar concepts, which 00:34:55.960 --> 00:35:00.039 is why they get along so well. Ha ha ha. Yes. 00:35:00.260 --> 00:35:04.039 Yes. No wars ever. No wars ever. So harboring 00:35:04.039 --> 00:35:05.880 ill wills, spiritual hindrance, that's Buddhism. 00:35:06.019 --> 00:35:11.679 And it is the Dhammapada, verse 5. 19. Impurity 00:35:11.679 --> 00:35:17.239 in thought is as sinful as action. Oh. I'm split. 00:35:17.659 --> 00:35:20.380 I'm into Christianity. And you would be right, 00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:23.079 Mike. Catholic guilt. Catholic guilt. I knew, 00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:27.619 I knew. This is Matthew 5, 28. I always remember 00:35:27.619 --> 00:35:31.500 my grandfather made a comment that the newspaper 00:35:31.500 --> 00:35:34.519 delivery girl was attractive. Sure. Not necessarily 00:35:34.519 --> 00:35:36.619 inappropriately. He just made mention of it. 00:35:36.619 --> 00:35:39.860 And she was a teenager. Not like driving a car 00:35:39.860 --> 00:35:43.329 teenager. And my grandmother went off on him. 00:35:45.150 --> 00:35:48.929 And they were in their 70s. It's like a passing 00:35:48.929 --> 00:35:52.670 comment. And she lost her cool. And said he was 00:35:52.670 --> 00:35:55.969 going to go to hell. She might not be wrong. 00:35:56.269 --> 00:35:58.130 Well, he was definitely going to go to hell. 00:35:58.190 --> 00:36:00.170 But I don't know what it was for saying the newspaper 00:36:00.170 --> 00:36:03.730 girl was cute. Not for that, but you know. I 00:36:03.730 --> 00:36:07.489 don't know. I don't know, man. There were some 00:36:07.489 --> 00:36:10.389 other old people that I saw quoted somewhere, 00:36:10.550 --> 00:36:14.650 and one of them said that they didn't care where 00:36:14.650 --> 00:36:16.329 the other got their appetite as long as they 00:36:16.329 --> 00:36:19.670 ate at home. Yep. Which I think is fair. I think 00:36:19.670 --> 00:36:22.429 that's pretty reasonable. Yes. Of course, there's 00:36:22.429 --> 00:36:24.269 a lot more than physical appearances that go 00:36:24.269 --> 00:36:31.409 into attraction, or should be. Number 20, and 00:36:31.409 --> 00:36:33.400 then we'll do a score check, Mike. I've lost 00:36:33.400 --> 00:36:35.880 count now. I stopped counting because I got so 00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:38.019 many wrong. No, but you got just a couple right. 00:36:38.179 --> 00:36:41.019 You just got a couple right. I boosted my score. 00:36:41.360 --> 00:36:44.559 Yeah. Yep. Huzzah. It's a real feather in your 00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:48.159 cap. All right. Boasting about good deeds diminishes 00:36:48.159 --> 00:36:52.340 their value. Well, I know that's the case in 00:36:52.340 --> 00:36:54.159 Christianity. I'm not sure if those exact words 00:36:54.159 --> 00:37:00.000 are true in Christianity. Okay. I'm going to 00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:03.099 go with Jainism. We haven't had a good Jainism 00:37:03.099 --> 00:37:05.460 in a while, so I'm going to shoot from the hip. 00:37:05.579 --> 00:37:09.360 All right. This one is Islam. The Quran. Surah 00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:15.340 Al -Baqarah 264. So I don't know why everybody 00:37:15.340 --> 00:37:19.360 was claiming credit after 9 -11 then, but that's 00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:22.059 none of my business. All right. So you don't 00:37:22.059 --> 00:37:31.510 have a... Sips tea silently. So you don't really 00:37:31.510 --> 00:37:33.969 have a score check then? No, no, no. How much 00:37:33.969 --> 00:37:36.409 of your cigar do you have left, Mike? Maybe an 00:37:36.409 --> 00:37:38.230 inch and a half. Maybe an inch. I'm about the 00:37:38.230 --> 00:37:40.730 same. So we can do... Mine's getting sour. Mine's 00:37:40.730 --> 00:37:42.130 getting sour. I'm not going to tell you. It's 00:37:42.130 --> 00:37:44.409 not great. It's not great. Do you think we can 00:37:44.409 --> 00:37:47.909 get to 30? Sure, yeah. We can give it a shot. 00:37:48.110 --> 00:37:50.849 And then I'll put the whole list on our Patreon 00:37:50.849 --> 00:37:53.030 for free. You can just go look it up. All right. 00:37:53.429 --> 00:37:57.579 21. Killing any living being intentionally or 00:37:57.579 --> 00:38:01.539 not is sinful. I'm going to have to go. Well, 00:38:01.619 --> 00:38:05.639 Jainism is any living creature. So it's probably 00:38:05.639 --> 00:38:09.500 not that. I'm going to say Hinduism. You should 00:38:09.500 --> 00:38:11.159 have gone with your gut, Mike. It's Jainism? 00:38:11.320 --> 00:38:14.320 It's Jainism. I know. I almost said when you 00:38:14.320 --> 00:38:15.980 guessed the last one is Jainism. I was like, 00:38:16.039 --> 00:38:17.860 oh, you're one early. But I didn't want to say 00:38:17.860 --> 00:38:19.139 that because that would give the next one away, 00:38:19.260 --> 00:38:25.300 right? My clock is off. Yep. Here, and I set 00:38:25.300 --> 00:38:28.300 all my clocks right away when we sprung forward. 00:38:28.500 --> 00:38:29.739 Does anyone know how much you hate it when you 00:38:29.739 --> 00:38:32.500 see my clocks at my house have been changed? 00:38:33.159 --> 00:38:36.679 Yeah, that's true. That's true. All right, so 00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:43.579 that's Jainism. It's Jain Agamas Ahimsa or something. 00:38:43.860 --> 00:38:45.659 But yeah, so killing any living being intentional 00:38:45.659 --> 00:38:48.000 or not is sinful, which also could be Buddhism 00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:50.119 because they don't step on ants and stuff like 00:38:50.119 --> 00:38:53.409 that. When you say being, I think of intelligent 00:38:53.409 --> 00:38:56.530 beings. Well, who's to say ants aren't? They 00:38:56.530 --> 00:38:59.710 don't pay taxes, dude. That is true. That is 00:38:59.710 --> 00:39:03.010 true. If you never file taxes, they can't find 00:39:03.010 --> 00:39:06.510 you. That is also true. If you don't have a social 00:39:06.510 --> 00:39:08.590 security number, they also cannot find you. Well, 00:39:08.750 --> 00:39:12.670 and so if you would have asked me this question, 00:39:12.869 --> 00:39:15.329 I probably would have guessed Buddhism because 00:39:15.329 --> 00:39:18.710 I watched the documentary Monk with a Camera. 00:39:19.179 --> 00:39:21.980 It was very fascinating because it was a photographer 00:39:21.980 --> 00:39:25.219 who went and converted to Buddhism. And you're 00:39:25.219 --> 00:39:27.039 not supposed to have anything of your previous 00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:30.139 life or whatever. And the Buddhist monk said, 00:39:30.380 --> 00:39:35.440 no, no, you are so good at photography that you 00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:38.519 need to still do it. But, you know, like a couple 00:39:38.519 --> 00:39:40.000 times a year or something. And they actually 00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:42.980 kept his camera in like a locker and would give 00:39:42.980 --> 00:39:46.730 it to him. go do his photography stuff. So very 00:39:46.730 --> 00:39:49.130 interesting. Cause it kind of is a little bit 00:39:49.130 --> 00:39:52.030 of a dive into Buddhism, but I don't know, also 00:39:52.030 --> 00:39:53.690 tolerance or something. It's a very interesting 00:39:53.690 --> 00:39:55.909 film. So if you want to watch something interesting, 00:39:56.150 --> 00:39:58.309 that's, that's a pretty good one. Have you heard 00:39:58.309 --> 00:40:01.010 of that one? I have not heard of that one. Yeah. 00:40:01.449 --> 00:40:04.929 Pretty interesting stuff. Yeah. All right. Uh, 00:40:05.090 --> 00:40:07.909 this one will fucking kill you, dude. If you 00:40:07.909 --> 00:40:11.780 live in a big city, I definitely do. I live in 00:40:11.780 --> 00:40:15.019 a metropolis. I know you do. I know you do. But 00:40:15.019 --> 00:40:17.139 I do because I see these fuckers on every fucking 00:40:17.139 --> 00:40:21.400 street corner. I read some stuff about how most 00:40:21.400 --> 00:40:23.460 of the beggars on street corners in cities are 00:40:23.460 --> 00:40:25.539 actually people that have very nice houses in 00:40:25.539 --> 00:40:28.579 the burbs. And they make $30 ,000, $40 ,000 just 00:40:28.579 --> 00:40:31.019 by begging at the street corner. And they don't 00:40:31.019 --> 00:40:32.599 have to go to an office then. And that sounds 00:40:32.599 --> 00:40:33.860 pretty good to me. I think you've been watching 00:40:33.860 --> 00:40:36.440 too much Fox News. Yeah, could be. Could be. 00:40:36.989 --> 00:40:40.710 This one is withholding charity is considered 00:40:40.710 --> 00:40:43.969 a transgression. Islam. So, so quick, but it 00:40:43.969 --> 00:40:49.349 is Judaism. Oh. From the Talmud, Baba Badra 9a, 00:40:49.530 --> 00:40:52.289 which sounds like a math question. Yes, it does. 00:40:52.429 --> 00:40:55.210 Dude, what was your answer for the Baba Badra 00:40:55.210 --> 00:40:58.630 9a? Oh, fuck, you got that? I did not get that. 00:40:58.809 --> 00:41:02.210 Yeah, charity is a big part of most of the religions 00:41:02.210 --> 00:41:04.469 that, for whatever reason - They kind of ignore 00:41:04.469 --> 00:41:07.800 nowadays. Yeah, it's just like - You know, all 00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:10.179 that talk, big talk about being such and such 00:41:10.179 --> 00:41:13.039 nation. And then, you know, yeah, we don't need 00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:14.880 universal health care. And yeah, we don't need 00:41:14.880 --> 00:41:17.539 to take care of the homeless population and figure 00:41:17.539 --> 00:41:18.960 out what the hell we're going to do about it. 00:41:19.199 --> 00:41:25.539 I saw someone proposed to make homelessness illegal 00:41:25.539 --> 00:41:29.639 except for within 500 feet or 500 yards of a 00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:32.659 church to try and force the churches to make 00:41:32.659 --> 00:41:35.760 true on their promise. Sure. That's a pretty 00:41:35.760 --> 00:41:37.940 big dick move. I like it, though. I like it. 00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:40.380 I like it. I mean, they're not paying taxes, 00:41:40.460 --> 00:41:41.980 so let's fucking call them out and make them 00:41:41.980 --> 00:41:45.119 actually do something. All right, 23. Ignoring 00:41:45.119 --> 00:41:50.039 sacred rituals is viewed as a moral lapse. We 00:41:50.039 --> 00:41:52.119 haven't had a Sikhism in a while. I'm going to 00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:55.679 go straight. Don't do it. Think of the language 00:41:55.679 --> 00:42:00.599 used. Think of the language used. Hinduism. Go 00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:03.300 old -timey. Who's the old -timey one? Is that 00:42:03.300 --> 00:42:07.079 Zoroastrianism? It's going. Going gone. He got 00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:15.260 it right. With enough nudging, you will guess 00:42:15.260 --> 00:42:17.280 the old -timey language of choice. How could 00:42:17.280 --> 00:42:19.039 he possibly have guessed this one right on the 00:42:19.039 --> 00:42:22.739 first try? But he did. He did it. It's amazing. 00:42:27.469 --> 00:42:30.690 All right, question 24. Desecrating nature is 00:42:30.690 --> 00:42:34.070 a violation of sacred duty. And you can say Teddy 00:42:34.070 --> 00:42:36.429 Roosevelt, and I would accept it. Yeah, exactly. 00:42:36.889 --> 00:42:41.889 You know what? John Muir. I'm going to say Hinduism. 00:42:41.909 --> 00:42:44.769 We got to stay down lower. Hell yeah, and you're 00:42:44.769 --> 00:42:49.949 right. Rig Veda, 10117. Nailed it. You knew it. 00:42:49.969 --> 00:42:52.590 Teddy. He's the biggest Hindu there ever was. 00:42:52.849 --> 00:42:56.309 I think that's what he said when he, you know, 00:42:56.369 --> 00:42:59.210 christened Mount Rushmore. Oh, I thought it was 00:42:59.210 --> 00:43:05.010 Yosemite, but sure. Rushmore too. 25. Failure 00:43:05.010 --> 00:43:08.250 to meditate or reflect is spiritually harmful. 00:43:08.570 --> 00:43:10.409 And the word meditate should narrow it down to 00:43:10.409 --> 00:43:12.889 about one. Yeah. I mean, I say Buddhism. And 00:43:12.889 --> 00:43:17.280 you'd be right. It's amazing. He's a savant. 00:43:17.280 --> 00:43:22.360 The Buddha is a machination of the... Pat his 00:43:22.360 --> 00:43:27.219 belly and collect your gold. ...desire to be 00:43:27.219 --> 00:43:31.860 viewed as a fat Asian man. Your river's excited. 00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:35.059 Yeah, she wants to go outside, so I'm going to 00:43:35.059 --> 00:43:37.559 go put her outside. She wanted to pat the Buddha 00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:40.460 belly, and that's what I thought. He's probably 00:43:40.460 --> 00:43:45.110 out there ready to kick my ass. She was seriously 00:43:45.110 --> 00:43:51.530 unhappy with somebody. Yes. Okay, so next question. 00:43:51.750 --> 00:43:56.349 All right, 26. And this one, we know for a fact 00:43:56.349 --> 00:44:01.110 not one single person in politics, not one single 00:44:01.110 --> 00:44:05.289 CEO, not one single person in power is a follower 00:44:05.289 --> 00:44:09.349 of this faith. The sin is speaking without thinking 00:44:09.349 --> 00:44:13.900 may harm others' spirits. Christianity. No. Not 00:44:13.900 --> 00:44:16.579 one single person in power is a follower of this 00:44:16.579 --> 00:44:25.139 faith. Wow. It's Judaism. I said Christianity 00:44:25.139 --> 00:44:28.059 first because almost every single elected politician 00:44:28.059 --> 00:44:31.280 in this country is a Christian. And I said none 00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:35.260 of them are this religion. And not in a sarcastic 00:44:35.260 --> 00:44:37.539 way, as like literally none of them are. Well, 00:44:37.659 --> 00:44:39.579 it's got to be Zoroastrianism then, because all 00:44:39.579 --> 00:44:42.079 the other guys. No, this is Sikhism, of course. 00:44:42.199 --> 00:44:44.480 I mean, what the fuck, Mike? Come on. Oh, there's 00:44:44.480 --> 00:44:47.940 got to be Sikh politicians, like in England and 00:44:47.940 --> 00:44:51.300 certainly in India. This country, Mike. This 00:44:51.300 --> 00:44:53.320 country is probably, you know what? I'm going 00:44:53.320 --> 00:44:57.380 to Google the show. Take a drink. And find the 00:44:57.380 --> 00:45:02.300 one mayor in wherever, rural Connecticut. That's 00:45:02.300 --> 00:45:06.929 a Sikh. Yeah, maybe. There's got to be one guy 00:45:06.929 --> 00:45:09.409 who's on the city council. Find him or her. One 00:45:09.409 --> 00:45:11.369 person. Or they or them. Find them right now. 00:45:11.750 --> 00:45:14.389 All right. So next question. I am going to look 00:45:14.389 --> 00:45:18.090 too. Sure. I believe you. Question 27. Greed 00:45:18.090 --> 00:45:23.230 in food consumption violates balance. That seems 00:45:23.230 --> 00:45:26.510 like it could be all of them. Yeah, but I mean, 00:45:26.510 --> 00:45:29.289 think of the wording, man. It's like greed in 00:45:29.289 --> 00:45:32.409 food consumption. It's such a weird. But it's 00:45:32.409 --> 00:45:34.769 not as old -timey as some of the other ones. 00:45:34.949 --> 00:45:39.769 Not that I'm giving you hints. I am going to 00:45:39.769 --> 00:45:42.090 go with Jainism. We haven't had a good Jainism 00:45:42.090 --> 00:45:44.929 in a while. And again, your internal clock is 00:45:44.929 --> 00:45:48.510 off by two. But this one is Islam, the Quran, 00:45:48.809 --> 00:45:53.730 Surah Taha, 2081. I don't know. I guess I've 00:45:53.730 --> 00:45:58.030 never seen an overweight Muslim. What about the 00:45:58.030 --> 00:46:03.469 Sultan of Agrabah? From Aladdin? Yeah. Well, 00:46:03.530 --> 00:46:05.909 he loves his daughter, though, which is weird 00:46:05.909 --> 00:46:13.789 for Muslims. It is fucking not. Don't fight me 00:46:13.789 --> 00:46:21.110 on this. I know what I'm about. I thought this 00:46:21.110 --> 00:46:32.960 was going to be a sponsor -friendly show. Holy 00:46:32.960 --> 00:46:37.639 God. Or holy Allah, whatever. Whatever, dude. 00:46:37.800 --> 00:46:45.820 I don't care. I thought I stressed fun above 00:46:45.820 --> 00:46:48.440 all. And if fun is not family friendly, then 00:46:48.440 --> 00:46:51.820 fuck off, I guess. I don't know. Well, I hate 00:46:51.820 --> 00:46:53.920 to say this, Nate, but I have a correction for 00:46:53.920 --> 00:46:57.099 the show. Okay, okay, okay. We've had two U .S. 00:46:57.139 --> 00:47:02.480 elected Sikh politicians. One was a U .S. congressman 00:47:02.480 --> 00:47:06.300 named Dalip Singh Sound, and he was the first 00:47:06.300 --> 00:47:10.519 Sikh elected to Congress. He was 57 to 63. He's 00:47:10.519 --> 00:47:12.639 also the first Asian American and the first Indian 00:47:12.639 --> 00:47:14.940 American to serve in Congress. There you go. 00:47:15.019 --> 00:47:18.000 And then apparently New Jersey has a Sikh mayor 00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:22.059 named Ravinder Balia. All right. Well, that's 00:47:22.059 --> 00:47:24.300 good. I think that's good. Yeah, yeah. There 00:47:24.300 --> 00:47:28.039 we go. Apparently Mr. Sound was active until 00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:31.610 1973. Okay. And he died. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. 00:47:31.809 --> 00:47:35.690 It went down to the Sikh Great Beyond. Sikh Hall 00:47:35.690 --> 00:47:39.010 of Fame. Sikh Hall of Fame. That's the one. This 00:47:39.010 --> 00:47:41.130 next one you're going to get. I just know it. 00:47:41.190 --> 00:47:44.210 I just know it. Dishonoring one's parents is 00:47:44.210 --> 00:47:47.170 a moral fault. Oh, that's got to be Islam. Got 00:47:47.170 --> 00:47:49.130 to be. It's got the dishonor. There's like a 00:47:49.130 --> 00:47:51.170 lot of the trigger words. A lot of the trigger 00:47:51.170 --> 00:47:54.769 words. This is Christianity. It's one of the 00:47:54.769 --> 00:47:57.289 Ten Commandments. Well, honor thy father and 00:47:57.289 --> 00:47:59.869 mother, but that's also Judaism. Yeah, and it's 00:47:59.869 --> 00:48:02.630 also all of them, but they still fight. This 00:48:02.630 --> 00:48:06.469 is Exodus 2012. See, there we go. I actually 00:48:06.469 --> 00:48:08.849 got into a spat, Mike. I don't know if you believe 00:48:08.849 --> 00:48:12.949 this. This is pre -high school. Yeah, I love 00:48:12.949 --> 00:48:15.329 authority, and they're great, I guess. I got 00:48:15.329 --> 00:48:18.190 into a spat with my minister pre -high school. 00:48:18.769 --> 00:48:21.469 He actually ended up diddling the secretary. 00:48:22.989 --> 00:48:25.489 Not a great person. But, you know, his daughter 00:48:25.489 --> 00:48:28.150 was in my grade and everything. And he was a 00:48:28.150 --> 00:48:31.170 very engaging preacher because he did one and 00:48:31.170 --> 00:48:33.550 he like did a flip out of the pulpit, which I'll 00:48:33.550 --> 00:48:36.070 still remember probably until I die, hopefully. 00:48:36.210 --> 00:48:38.630 But he still was, you know, like fucking the 00:48:38.630 --> 00:48:42.110 secretary and whatnot. Anyway, I told him that 00:48:42.110 --> 00:48:45.949 Jesus sinned because when his parents brought 00:48:45.949 --> 00:48:48.820 him to the temple. And then they left and he 00:48:48.820 --> 00:48:51.099 didn't leave with them. And he hid and stayed 00:48:51.099 --> 00:48:52.599 with the temple because he wanted to be closer 00:48:52.599 --> 00:48:56.079 to his actual father, right? And I said, well, 00:48:56.119 --> 00:48:58.780 Jesus sinned. And the pastor was like, what are 00:48:58.780 --> 00:49:01.079 you talking about? Jesus is without sin. I said, 00:49:01.119 --> 00:49:03.300 well, no, like his parents had to come back to 00:49:03.300 --> 00:49:05.800 find him. And he was talking with the priests 00:49:05.800 --> 00:49:09.199 and things at the temple. And he was like, well, 00:49:09.219 --> 00:49:13.420 no, Jesus is the son of God and his father is 00:49:13.420 --> 00:49:15.599 God. And I said, well, the Bible says we're all 00:49:15.599 --> 00:49:18.380 children of God. But we have to obey our earthly 00:49:18.380 --> 00:49:21.400 mothers and fathers. And aren't Joseph and Mary 00:49:21.400 --> 00:49:23.840 Jesus' earthly mothers and fathers? And then 00:49:23.840 --> 00:49:26.059 you know what he did? He fucked the church secretary 00:49:26.059 --> 00:49:31.239 is what he did. Okay. When you said fondled, 00:49:31.300 --> 00:49:34.460 I was thinking Ronald McDonald, not like banging 00:49:34.460 --> 00:49:42.039 secretary. Let's do separate things. Anyway, 00:49:43.559 --> 00:49:48.300 29. Exploiting animals. Holy fuck. Should have 00:49:48.300 --> 00:49:51.039 read this one before right now. Exploiting animals 00:49:51.039 --> 00:49:58.440 for pleasure is a spiritual offense. I don't 00:49:58.440 --> 00:50:06.800 know, man. I don't know. I don't know. Don't 00:50:06.800 --> 00:50:13.159 tell Morgan. Don't tell Morgan. That sounds like 00:50:13.159 --> 00:50:16.119 a good idea across the board. Well, it's not 00:50:16.119 --> 00:50:22.920 Islam. We know that. Oh, man. I'm going to say 00:50:22.920 --> 00:50:29.019 Hinduism. That can't be Hinduism, though. I told 00:50:29.019 --> 00:50:31.500 you what it was. Two ago, you made a guess, and 00:50:31.500 --> 00:50:34.000 I said two from now. You'll be right. Your clock 00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:37.099 will be right. Yeah. Jainism. That's Jainism. 00:50:37.500 --> 00:50:41.079 Don't fuck the animals, kids. I don't think that's 00:50:41.079 --> 00:50:49.539 what it meant originally. I wanted to meet that 00:50:49.539 --> 00:50:54.380 so bad. It has to, man. Exploiting animals for 00:50:54.380 --> 00:50:57.960 pleasure is a spiritual offense. Don't fuck the 00:50:57.960 --> 00:51:01.480 animals. Don't fuck the livestock. Gack fighting. 00:51:02.880 --> 00:51:07.050 Or what, riding horses? I don't know. Potentially 00:51:07.050 --> 00:51:09.030 riding horses, using them as beasts of burden, 00:51:09.170 --> 00:51:17.210 dog racing. Sure, Mike. Sure. That's what I want 00:51:17.210 --> 00:51:19.769 it to be about. All right. The 30th question, 00:51:20.030 --> 00:51:22.110 and I think that's where we're going to end because 00:51:22.110 --> 00:51:25.170 my cigar is about done and I'm not digging it 00:51:25.170 --> 00:51:27.590 anymore. Are you good with that, Mike? I'm good. 00:51:27.630 --> 00:51:29.489 I'm already done. I just put mine down. Sure. 00:51:29.590 --> 00:51:31.409 Okay. Well, 30, and then we'll be done. We'll 00:51:31.409 --> 00:51:33.510 give our final thoughts. Failing to protect the 00:51:33.510 --> 00:51:39.230 weak is sinful. Ooh. Ooh. Sikhism. They have 00:51:39.230 --> 00:51:41.130 a big honor culture, so I'm going to guess. And 00:51:41.130 --> 00:51:43.789 you'd be wrong. Well, you might be right, but 00:51:43.789 --> 00:51:49.190 this is Hinduism. The Manus Mitri 8118. Very 00:51:49.190 --> 00:51:51.449 interesting that the Hindus who have a rigid 00:51:51.449 --> 00:51:54.300 caste system, let's say that exploiting. The 00:51:54.300 --> 00:52:00.280 weak is bad or whatever. Yeah. Well, we could 00:52:00.280 --> 00:52:03.239 say a lot of the same things about, you know, 00:52:03.260 --> 00:52:06.019 Christians. For sure. A lot of the stuff, you 00:52:06.019 --> 00:52:09.500 know, Jesus taught is in direct violation, let's 00:52:09.500 --> 00:52:13.119 say, of current actions by a lot of people that 00:52:13.119 --> 00:52:16.059 claim to be Christian. Oh, Jesus was a chill 00:52:16.059 --> 00:52:19.900 cat. Definitely hang with that guy. But his buddies 00:52:19.900 --> 00:52:23.780 sometimes aren't to my liking. Thanks for the 00:52:23.780 --> 00:52:25.960 tough crowd. Yeah, I mean, you can't really fault 00:52:25.960 --> 00:52:29.480 Judas, though, because he gave us the four -day 00:52:29.480 --> 00:52:33.679 Easter weekend. So not at all, not bad, 100%. 00:52:33.679 --> 00:52:36.280 Well, 50 pieces of silver. I mean, it's hard 00:52:36.280 --> 00:52:38.380 to say no. Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm not gay, 00:52:38.400 --> 00:52:40.579 but 50 pieces of silver. There's 50 pieces of 00:52:40.579 --> 00:52:42.559 silver. I'll kiss Jesus in the cheek all day 00:52:42.559 --> 00:52:47.079 long for that. Blasphemer. Now we're going to 00:52:47.079 --> 00:52:49.340 get the halal market to sponsor this episode, 00:52:49.480 --> 00:52:51.860 you know? Well, there's still time. There's still 00:52:51.860 --> 00:52:54.280 time. We can make amends. We can make amends. 00:52:55.340 --> 00:52:58.320 Reparations. I'll give them all the cash in my 00:52:58.320 --> 00:53:00.699 wallet to make amends. You know what? Right now, 00:53:00.719 --> 00:53:02.780 I will give them all the cash in my wallet that 00:53:02.780 --> 00:53:05.940 I have right now. Yes, me too. 100%. Mine is 00:53:05.940 --> 00:53:09.019 zero because I gave my cash to someone else. 00:53:09.519 --> 00:53:14.340 Mine is also zero. I thought so, Mike. I thought 00:53:14.340 --> 00:53:17.639 so. Well, Dan, our drug dealer, is very happy 00:53:17.639 --> 00:53:19.559 because we gave him all the cash in our wallets. 00:53:19.760 --> 00:53:22.119 And that's why we had so much fun this episode. 00:53:22.590 --> 00:53:24.889 That's right. That's why he gets to wear the 00:53:24.889 --> 00:53:26.989 brand new NASCAR t -shirts or his girlfriend 00:53:26.989 --> 00:53:28.989 gets to wear the brand new NASCAR t -shirt now. 00:53:29.130 --> 00:53:31.510 Yeah. Well, and he's going to save up for a new 00:53:31.510 --> 00:53:34.730 TV because his wife threw the remote through 00:53:34.730 --> 00:53:37.750 the old one and can't watch the old NASCAR if 00:53:37.750 --> 00:53:40.610 you don't have a new TV. So we're all pulling 00:53:40.610 --> 00:53:43.769 for Dan and his wife, of course, to be less abusive, 00:53:43.889 --> 00:53:46.650 but small steps. Small steps. Everybody's waiting. 00:53:46.889 --> 00:53:51.159 Everybody's waiting. He got what he deserved 00:53:51.159 --> 00:53:53.420 for making everybody wait. Yeah, I know. Yeah, 00:53:53.500 --> 00:53:55.400 yeah. I mean, that's the biggest sin of all, 00:53:55.519 --> 00:53:58.280 right? That's the takeaway from this episode 00:53:58.280 --> 00:54:01.199 is making other people wait is right out, right 00:54:01.199 --> 00:54:03.559 out. Everything else we can talk about, but making 00:54:03.559 --> 00:54:06.239 other people wait, right out. It's garbage. Yeah. 00:54:06.579 --> 00:54:10.019 So what did you rate this cigar, Mike? I think 00:54:10.019 --> 00:54:12.780 I rated it a one and a half. If I'm not mistaken. 00:54:12.780 --> 00:54:15.260 No, 175. That's what I put. Same as the last 00:54:15.260 --> 00:54:18.300 one. Oh, same as the last one. Yeah. All right. 00:54:18.300 --> 00:54:20.679 I'm going to give this one a... I'm just going 00:54:20.679 --> 00:54:23.159 to give it a 175. And I gave the last one a 1 00:54:23.159 --> 00:54:28.300 .5. Because this one was moderately better than 00:54:28.300 --> 00:54:31.800 the last one. The last one was acetone aftertaste 00:54:31.800 --> 00:54:34.460 most of the way through. And this one didn't 00:54:34.460 --> 00:54:36.460 get bad until the end. And then like the end 00:54:36.460 --> 00:54:39.079 that was in my mouth kind of like started falling 00:54:39.079 --> 00:54:43.099 apart. So it's not entirely pleasant, but I felt 00:54:43.099 --> 00:54:45.599 like it was more enjoyable than the last one. 00:54:45.699 --> 00:54:48.380 So I'd rather smoke this one than the last one. 00:54:48.659 --> 00:54:52.099 The reason why I rated it the same is because 00:54:52.099 --> 00:54:55.219 the middle section was better. Yep. But the end 00:54:55.219 --> 00:54:57.679 was a little worse for me and the beginning was 00:54:57.679 --> 00:55:01.460 about the same. So I was like, well. If the ending 00:55:01.460 --> 00:55:03.940 was better, then it would have been a two, but 00:55:03.940 --> 00:55:07.500 it just didn't hold up. Yeah, and the end here 00:55:07.500 --> 00:55:09.699 was, for me, it was better than the last one, 00:55:09.739 --> 00:55:10.920 and I don't know if I smoked the last one too 00:55:10.920 --> 00:55:14.280 fast, or I just, you know. I mean, it's tough 00:55:14.280 --> 00:55:16.380 to say, really, in the grand scheme of things, 00:55:16.539 --> 00:55:20.559 tastes and preferences and smoking speeds and 00:55:20.559 --> 00:55:22.800 all that, but this one was a little bit better 00:55:22.800 --> 00:55:24.860 than the last one. Like, this one I would actually... 00:55:25.279 --> 00:55:28.639 not be opposed to smoking again. But the other 00:55:28.639 --> 00:55:31.360 one, I don't, I would not really be a huge fan 00:55:31.360 --> 00:55:34.039 of smoking it again. I mean, if we have more 00:55:34.039 --> 00:55:36.780 of them, I will try it as a tequila cigar, but 00:55:36.780 --> 00:55:39.619 smoking it straight as is, I likely will not 00:55:39.619 --> 00:55:41.340 do again. So that was kind of the difference 00:55:41.340 --> 00:55:44.139 in mind. Like the Chillin' Moose 2, I could, 00:55:44.159 --> 00:55:45.820 I could, you know, if somebody's like, oh, I 00:55:45.820 --> 00:55:47.639 got a whole, I got a bundle of these, let's smoke 00:55:47.639 --> 00:55:50.300 some. I'd be like, yeah, okay, sure. I'll do 00:55:50.300 --> 00:55:53.760 it. But yeah, the first one, the Chillin' Moose 00:55:53.760 --> 00:55:56.380 original OG. I don't know. I'd be hard pressed 00:55:56.380 --> 00:55:59.420 to do it again. Not as a tequila cigar. I would 00:55:59.420 --> 00:56:02.539 do it again. Like I say, like go paddle fishing 00:56:02.539 --> 00:56:06.440 next to the fire on the side of the water. Yeah. 00:56:06.460 --> 00:56:08.519 That sort of thing where it's like it's something 00:56:08.519 --> 00:56:11.179 to smoke when you're doing something else in 00:56:11.179 --> 00:56:13.739 a dirty environment where it's like you're not 00:56:13.739 --> 00:56:16.420 going to smoke a fine cigar under those conditions. 00:56:16.559 --> 00:56:18.960 But you want a cigar that's not a Swisher Sweet. 00:56:19.289 --> 00:56:22.269 This is exactly what it is. Yeah, but like you 00:56:22.269 --> 00:56:25.670 said last episode, though, for the price point, 00:56:25.889 --> 00:56:29.610 there's better things to smoke for as cheap or 00:56:29.610 --> 00:56:34.190 cheaper. Oh, the edges are a great example. Like 00:56:34.190 --> 00:56:37.289 you mentioned, the factory smokes, great example. 00:56:37.710 --> 00:56:40.230 There's a lot of options out there. Yeah, there's 00:56:40.230 --> 00:56:42.949 a lot of options, and I guess I just felt like 00:56:42.949 --> 00:56:45.750 the Chillin' Moose 2 was slightly better than 00:56:45.750 --> 00:56:48.760 the Chillin' Moose. Everybody's got their own 00:56:48.760 --> 00:56:52.440 different tastes and preferences, and I'd be 00:56:52.440 --> 00:56:55.340 hard -pressed personally to smoke a regular Chillin' 00:56:55.340 --> 00:56:59.000 Moose without tequila. So that's why I rated 00:56:59.000 --> 00:57:00.440 this one a little bit higher, because this one 00:57:00.440 --> 00:57:03.739 I could actually smoke as is and be okay about 00:57:03.739 --> 00:57:05.860 it. I wouldn't necessarily be the happiest person, 00:57:06.039 --> 00:57:08.800 but I'd be okay about it. I mean, I would definitely 00:57:08.800 --> 00:57:11.400 put tequila on both. If I was going to smoke 00:57:11.400 --> 00:57:15.119 it in an inside place where we have liquor, it's 00:57:15.119 --> 00:57:17.280 going to have tequila on it for sure. I mean, 00:57:17.340 --> 00:57:20.139 to be honest, if somebody says, I got a fuck 00:57:20.139 --> 00:57:22.260 ton of tequila and I got some cigars that may 00:57:22.260 --> 00:57:24.119 or may not be good, you just want to put tequila 00:57:24.119 --> 00:57:27.079 on them and smoke them? I mean, I'm down. Let's 00:57:27.079 --> 00:57:29.659 do it. But that's a different vibe than having 00:57:29.659 --> 00:57:33.300 a thoughtful conversation in my campfire with 00:57:33.300 --> 00:57:38.000 a good smoke. So a little different motive, I 00:57:38.000 --> 00:57:41.380 guess. Right. Yeah, this is a drink light beer 00:57:41.380 --> 00:57:46.820 by a campfire and smoke a cigar. Yeah, yep. For 00:57:46.820 --> 00:57:50.760 sure. So bust out the, what is it, Michelob Ultras. 00:57:51.059 --> 00:57:54.760 Yep. Or the Natterdays. I think like a Natterday 00:57:54.760 --> 00:57:56.559 would be a good pairing with this because you 00:57:56.559 --> 00:57:58.260 got a little bit of the sweetness from the beer 00:57:58.260 --> 00:58:00.960 and then you got the cigar, which this one was 00:58:00.960 --> 00:58:05.000 a little bit darker, a little spicy in the, you 00:58:05.000 --> 00:58:07.500 know, I don't know, one third to the three quarters 00:58:07.500 --> 00:58:09.980 mark. I know that's going to be tough for Americans 00:58:09.980 --> 00:58:11.760 because they don't understand the fractions, 00:58:11.960 --> 00:58:16.789 but. Yes, three -eighths, three -quarters. Three 00:58:16.789 --> 00:58:19.690 -eighths is clearly bigger by twice. Yeah, eight 00:58:19.690 --> 00:58:25.150 is bigger than four. So, yeah, I think that's 00:58:25.150 --> 00:58:28.429 all I have to say about that cigar. I don't recommend 00:58:28.429 --> 00:58:32.230 it. Either one, really. No, not really. The labels 00:58:32.230 --> 00:58:35.769 are cool. They might be fine as tequila cigars. 00:58:35.809 --> 00:58:38.269 Or, you know, if you just, if you stumble upon 00:58:38.269 --> 00:58:40.929 them and they're absolutely dirt cheap, like 00:58:40.929 --> 00:58:44.719 almost giving them away, that's fine. But there's 00:58:44.719 --> 00:58:48.519 so many other good cigars for very little cost 00:58:48.519 --> 00:58:52.000 that are a much better smoke than these. But, 00:58:52.079 --> 00:58:54.800 you know, again, if they're at a place and you 00:58:54.800 --> 00:58:56.440 see them and you want to pick one up to try it, 00:58:56.480 --> 00:58:59.139 it's not necessarily going to be a bad smoke, 00:58:59.300 --> 00:59:02.000 you know, by and large. But it might not be entirely 00:59:02.000 --> 00:59:05.320 enjoyable. But yeah, I can't really recommend 00:59:05.320 --> 00:59:07.699 it. But if you're tempted and want to try it, 00:59:07.739 --> 00:59:10.059 what are you out? A couple dollars. It's not 00:59:10.059 --> 00:59:13.340 a big commitment there, so. You can always put 00:59:13.340 --> 00:59:14.960 it out, toss it out, throw it out, whatever. 00:59:15.199 --> 00:59:17.300 I think Mike did better than he thinks he did 00:59:17.300 --> 00:59:20.320 on the sin guessing game.
