Oh my god, I was 12 00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:30.680 thinking John Henry? Who's that? You don't know John Henry? Hey? 13 00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:34.280 Whoa for real? What's the aggression for? Dude?

You're gonna fight him? I 16 00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.120 mean, I'm really taking a back. Dude, you didn't learn about like 17 00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.920 talked well, we did go to different elementary schools. Oh my god, 18 00:01:48.359 --> 00:01:52.120 are you shaming me for something I should have learned in elementary school. We 19 00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:53.920 did go to different elementary school. Tell me about now that I think telling 20 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.640 me about it. Remember when you're like learning about like Pecoast Bill and tall 21 00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:01.280 tales and fables and stuff. John Henry was one of them, and he 22 00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:05.799 was an old guy with the pickaxe that like they made a bet that the 23 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.120 machine could mine to the mountain faster, and he beat the machine and then 24 00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:12.520 he died on the other side of it. Come on, man, John 25 00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.599 Henry, I think you're getting this confused with Johnny Applesy. No, that 26 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:21.039 guy playing Orchards. Oh are you sure? Yeah, because I've heard of 27 00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:24.759 that. Yeah, I've heard that was at my elementary school. I learned 28 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:30.560 about Paul Bunyan in my elementary school. When I text Paul Bunyan, did 29 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:32.719 you do you know who Paul Bunyan is? Because I feel like you would 30 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:38.000 idolize Paul Bunyan. I feel like he would. Paul Bunyan He's just a 31 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:45.639 nature man, right well, okay, and and I'm putting my children into 32 00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:53.960 the education system. Yeah, he's a nature man, right Hey, what 33 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:59.199 does that mean? He just chops down trees, and I mean, okay, 34 00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:01.360 okay, we're locking. Yeah, yeah, do you know anything else 35 00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:06.039 about him? I mean I think he's a man's man. I don't really 36 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.400 remember. He's like, like he's just hardcore. I mean, anybody who 37 00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:15.520 chops down a tree. He's also like one hundred feet tall, way taller. 38 00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.840 Oh yeah, you're talking about you're talking about the Jolly green Giant. 39 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:23.120 You shut up. No, that's a nature man. Yeah, that's the 40 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.840 nature man. Yeah, jall green Giant is the nature Paul in the blue 41 00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:30.520 Ox. He has a huge blue ox. Speaking of blue ox, this 42 00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:37.800 has to do with Hercules. Okay, there's a Hercules story about a blue 43 00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:43.000 bull and a giant. Yes, that's that's where Paul Bunyan comes from. 44 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.680 The giant was the son of Poseidon, and Poseidon created the blue bull. 45 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:53.479 Yes, this is literally where the myth of Paul Bunyan comes from. Really, 46 00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:55.560 yes, I was closer than you thought. That's true. It was. 47 00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:59.599 It came full circle. And who gives a funk about Henry John or 48 00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:02.000 whatever. You dude, Come on, I don't give a ship about that. 49 00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:10.639 Dude. You got you got aggressive. I jumped the problem, dude, 50 00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:14.199 I love John Henwer That's one of my favorite fables. But like also, 51 00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:16.600 someone told me he was a real dude. But I don't think that's 52 00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:21.120 true. Well my pretty much my entire life. I thought the Trojan Horse 53 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:30.879 story was real. It wouldn't it could be. I believe there's nothing about 54 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:36.879 that story that that is, you know, magical or fake, except for 55 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:43.600 like Poseidon and Athena being there and like Zeus like raining down lightning bolts. 56 00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:46.839 Have you read the Odyssey? That's what it's from. Wait, no, 57 00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:57.720 is it from the Iliad? It's from the Odyssey. I think that's in 58 00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.800 high school. Bro, We're not paying attention in high school. Yeah, 59 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.120 yeah, you're right, Okay, I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure in 60 00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:09.439 that story he also is trapped in like an endless time loop by a witch 61 00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.439 that turns people into pigs. So I don't know if that was a real 62 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:16.360 story. What are we talking about? The Odyssey or he fights a cyclops, 63 00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:21.920 he fights a cyclop a giant could be real though. Actually there they 64 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:28.959 have found bones that have like an eye socket, like right here without I'm 65 00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.160 just thinking we did a Dragon's episode, bro, and now we're sitting about 66 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:36.240 bones and got my antenna going. I feel like I'm always on this end 67 00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:41.360 of the table of like you are end of the table. Yeah, I 68 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:44.480 love this table. Yeah it's nice. I like my corner the table that 69 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:48.680 all everyone listening and watching can see. So we haven't explicitly said it yet. 70 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:53.319 Where's my there's my camera? I always forget now on the new setup, 71 00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:59.639 Like I said it the first time I we did. We talked about 72 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.600 it, and we thought it would be really fun to do an episode on 73 00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:10.160 like different mythological figures, so well, less figures and more like we thought 74 00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:14.560 it would be a cool idea to kind of give like snap reactions to different 75 00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:21.800 myths myths throughout different cultures, different mythologies. Alex didn't understand that that was 76 00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:25.959 the plan. So this is I'm gonna explain real quick what happened. I 77 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.079 the idea just came into my head, like we were trying to come up 78 00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:32.519 with the next idea things. It's been so crazy, like trying to plan 79 00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:36.240 the show while we have all the stuff going on, Like everybody's so busy 80 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:40.519 right now. I had this idea, like, oh cool, we could 81 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:46.959 give like snap interpretations of like different myths, Like we don't really look too 82 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.839 far into them. We just kind of like like glance over some myths, 83 00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:54.240 pick out some cool ones, and then we'll read them on the show and 84 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:59.319 we'll give like our snap real time interpretations of them. Right, So, 85 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.720 Alex I text that to the chat and Alex is like what He's like, 86 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:06.920 He's like, it's like, I don't know any men. Yeah, He's 87 00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:10.680 like, I literally have no idea what y'all are talking about. And I 88 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:14.759 was like, bro, you know the myth of of of Hercules, the 89 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.319 myth of I listed, like between me and Ryan, we probably listed nine 90 00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:25.879 or ten different myths. And apparently what happened was Alex heard Hercules and went, 91 00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:29.560 I'm doing that one. Bet I got it. So he literally text 92 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:32.920 us, I call Hercules. And then I get here today and we're getting 93 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:35.439 ready to record, and he's like, bro, I listened to an entire 94 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:40.879 audiobook about Hercules today. I'm so prepared. And I was just like, 95 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:46.399 oh, the opposite of our idea. I was like, oh, sick, 96 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:49.560 okay, cool, but you know what, it's fine, Yeah, 97 00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:55.879 it's gonna be great. I'm really honestly super geeked to hear think about it. 98 00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.120 That's awesome. I Honestly, I didn't know the snap. I missed 99 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.839 the Snap reactions part. I thought we were just doing like myths listen. 100 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.720 So I was like, I'm gonna pull my weight, you know, I'm 101 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.720 gonna So I listened to his whole audiobook at work at one and a half 102 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:16.720 time speed, like so I'm I'm ready to go, dude, man, 103 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:20.360 So I'm pumped for this. Yeah, we were. We were kind of 104 00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:24.439 thinking about well, granted we did also talk about this on the phone yesterday 105 00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.879 and you weren't present for the conversation, but we were kind of thinking it'd 106 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:33.639 be cool to like discuss the general overarching themes and in certain myths and talking 107 00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.759 about like how they relate to a lot of the subjects we talk about on 108 00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:39.399 this show. So like, if you noticed, I don't know what you 109 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.480 picked. I don't know if you told us which one you I have not 110 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:45.720 would you like to hear them or you want to Wait? I thought we 111 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:48.879 were supposed to share them, but that's fine. No, I'm saying like, 112 00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:50.080 like, do you want to know which myths I got? Sure? 113 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:52.919 Yeah, okay, they're all Greek spoilers. Well, you know, no 114 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.879 big surprise, you know, I didn't see that coming. Ye, yeah, 115 00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:03.159 yeah, who would have thought? They're all seven? But I picked 116 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:05.360 a Greek one nine, thank you. I intentionally tried to pick ones from 117 00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:09.919 different cultures. I didn't uh, So I got Clash of the Titans, 118 00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:18.720 the Theogyny sweet uh, Theseus and the Minotaur with the uh and and the 119 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.799 myth of Sisyphus. Nice. I also got a bonus one in there, 120 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:26.879 Euros and Psyche, but that's just nice. Yeah, if we need another 121 00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:28.919 one. But the first three are the ones that I spent a good time, 122 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:31.799 like glancing over a bunch of different Greek myths, and I picked the 123 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:37.159 ones that I thought were cool sweet. Yeah. But Alex, go ahead 124 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:41.720 and tell us about Hercules. Do you really want to know? I mean, 125 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:45.919 listen, I mean we might as well start with Hercules, since like 126 00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.679 that's the only one that I'm cast. Well, there's a lot. I 127 00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.159 found a lot of themes I want to hear it. There was a lot 128 00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:56.440 of interesting. He was just a very troubled dude. But I guess that's 129 00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:01.799 what's going to happen when your dad is Zeus. So yeah, Zeus is 130 00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:09.639 his father and some no, no, Harah is his stepmother. Nora a 131 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.279 demi god. Yeah, yeah, he's a bastard. Yeah. So Harah 132 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.600 hated him, and she's really the reason his life was so messed out straight 133 00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:22.799 up. She wanted him dead. Yeah, she tried to kill him. 134 00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.240 So but his stepfather, so his mother married a king and he wasn't like 135 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:28.879 a super special king, but he was a king, and so he took 136 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:33.519 a very fond liking to Hercules and like set him up good. He had 137 00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:37.919 three tutors. He had a sport tutor, a like a theory tutor, 138 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:45.360 and a music tutor. And his theory tutor, No, his sporting tutor 139 00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:50.399 was a centaur and was like from a very young age, was like, 140 00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:54.000 do not drink, like never drink, warned him do not. What was 141 00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:58.440 his name? Was it Kirn, which is like the god of the centaur 142 00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:03.879 by the way, right, like you notice there's Kirn and the astrology signs. 143 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:05.279 Well, yea, this is the story of how he got let's go 144 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:11.080 Hercules. Hercules threw him into the sky. Yeah, after he accidentally well 145 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:15.519 we'll get to the point. Yeah. Anyway, so he's like thirteen, 146 00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:18.679 He's like, why are you telling me not to drink? Like I'm so 147 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:26.759 anyway, his story really kind of starts weird when he's in the woods and 148 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:30.759 there's two women and there's, uh, he said, like a stone, 149 00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:35.120 like a cold stone, gray looking woman at the base of a tree inside 150 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:39.480 the tree hollow. And then there's like this, her name was Vice, 151 00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:43.639 this like smooth talking which woman up at the top of the tree, and 152 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.559 they were like, came here, boy, step closer, boy, and 153 00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:50.679 she like came down and is like caressing him and was like, basically, 154 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:54.679 do you want a life of hardship or do you want a life of ease? 155 00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.879 And so she was ease, Vice, and this other woman was a 156 00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:03.320 life of hardship. And he remembered what his theory tutor had told him. 157 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.679 I can't remember the tutor's name, but he was like, hardship makes a 158 00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:13.000 hero, makes a hero wise and strong. Like basically, he was a 159 00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:16.840 thirteen year old boy feeling uncomfortable because this grown woman was like groping him, 160 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:20.360 and he was like just mocking his tutor by saying these things just to avoid 161 00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:24.320 the awkwardness, is the way the book put it, and ended up choosing 162 00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:28.759 the hard life. And they were like so confused. She's like she hasn't 163 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:33.919 won one in a hundred years. And then so he chooses the hard life 164 00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.679 nice, which is yeah, very noble basically like you're just gonna endure hardships. 165 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.360 And he was looking to the hero's journey, which that was the first 166 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:45.360 real like something to this. He wanted to earn his place in Olympus or 167 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:48.559 something to this that was well, he didn't know at this point. He 168 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:52.240 didn't know who his dad was. He was just surrounded by really good people, 169 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:58.320 solid tutors, and yeah, he just knew he was different. He 170 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:03.159 was like shorter and just he they called him square because he was just as 171 00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:07.960 big wide as he was tall, like, but it was all just brute 172 00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:18.440 strength and he was He's crazy dude. And his stepdad was a real og 173 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:28.200 for a while until he got to lit. So his stepfather basically wanted him 174 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.320 to stay in the in Thebes, which was like the city. So his 175 00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:37.759 stepfather like actually well had him marry his step his stepsister so that he could 176 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:48.440 become like so that's where that comes from, right, exactly right, exactly 177 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:54.440 right, So he basically like adopted him. He became Hercules of Thebes, 178 00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:01.440 and then he tried to get everybody to drink a toast to thebes, and 179 00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.320 Hercules wanted to adventure. His life had been so easy up to this point. 180 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:09.519 He was like thinking that the woman the women in the forest were liars, 181 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:11.679 and so he was like, why aren't you drinking? He was like, 182 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:16.600 what do you mean My chirn told me never to drink. He's like, 183 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:18.519 you won't just have a sip to thebes. You don't like thebes, 184 00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:22.720 blah blah blah, like guilt tripping him over not drinking. He's like, 185 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:24.919 I'll toast with water. And then his wife was like, toast with water. 186 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:28.399 You're crazy, that's bad luck. Blah blah blah. So they guilted 187 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:33.759 him into drinking this wine, but he was really mad at his dad because 188 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:39.320 he wanted to marry his other sister, other stepsister, because she was cool 189 00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:45.440 and liked adventure and anyway, they basically gilted him into drinking, and then 190 00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:50.799 he drank all the wine at the function, every bit, every drop of 191 00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:54.720 wine, got blackout, drunk, went into a rage because he was so 192 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.879 mad, killed his mother, killed his wife, killed all of his ch 193 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:05.200 aildren, killed the servants, and then uh was running to kill the king, 194 00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:09.120 slipped hit his head on the wall and woke up the next morning and 195 00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:11.879 realized what he did. Damn. Yeah, I don't remember that from the 196 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:22.200 movie. So but this is interesting. It's like an interesting point of alcohol 197 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.600 too. But the where it gets interesting is his his father, his stepfather, 198 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:31.440 the king, had gotten bitten by a snake earlier in the day before 199 00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:37.320 this, and the snake was Harah, and Harah hated him because he was 200 00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:41.840 the bastard he was. She was mad at her, at Zeus. How 201 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:45.600 could Zeus love a mortal woman over me, a goddess? Yeah, and 202 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.360 so she was like, because you act like that, Yeah, yeah, 203 00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:52.919 straight up. I mean he did it dozens and straight up. I mean 204 00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:58.200 it's just basically, it's just cruel women ruining this poor Hercules life. It's 205 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:02.399 true, that's ultimately what's happening here. It's also it is like that in 206 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:06.440 the movie and the Disney movie. At least they got that right. I've 207 00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:10.519 never seen the movie. Oh dude, you'd love it. It's not like 208 00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:14.200 very accurate at all at all. You want to know the real reason why, 209 00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:18.559 Like big Hercules guy, it's like a sappy, sappy reason. Apparently 210 00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.600 I don't remember this, but I saw it in home videos. But apparently 211 00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.840 because my mom filmed everything. Apparently, when I was really really little, 212 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:30.879 like toddler, my parents would chant that at me something and they'd be going, 213 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:34.320 Hercules, you know why, right, because they saw that on the 214 00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:41.360 nutty professor. I don't know if that's really why, but I don't know 215 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:45.039 either, but that's that's where it comes from. Anyway, what happens after 216 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:48.440 this? So, okay, so he kills and so then the king screams 217 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:52.639 out in the morning, he screams out to the god Zeus, like you 218 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:55.679 have to do something, you have to kill this man. He's a murderer. 219 00:16:55.759 --> 00:17:00.679 He murdered his old family whatever in a drunken rage. And Zeus came 220 00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:03.200 down, and Zeus has a soft spot for his boy, and he's like, 221 00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:07.720 man, you know, I don't really know what to do. Like 222 00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:11.640 it was really Zeus respected the game, like Zeus is fucked up, Like 223 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.200 Zeus is not a good guy. No, so he saw he all he 224 00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.680 saw from Hercules doing all of that, like horrible boy. Yeah, it 225 00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:22.200 was like damn well, no. He came down and was really like, 226 00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:26.720 you know, it wasn't Hercules, it was the alcohol. He was like 227 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.400 this, you know, this ain't him. And then Harah pipes up and 228 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:33.160 is like, well, why don't you make him the servant of his cousin, 229 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:37.839 the bond slave of his cousin for twelve years as punishment because in her 230 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:41.720 mind she's like she's gonna torture him, right, So he's like, what 231 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:48.839 a great idea. So basically gave Hercules as a slave to his cousin, 232 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:55.640 who was basically just a little bit like this is okay straight up. Every 233 00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:59.480 time Hercules would come into the room, he would hide in a bronze He 234 00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:04.599 had a brass or bronze box chest mate so that he could hide in it 235 00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:08.759 when Hercules came in, because he was so scared of Hercules. What. 236 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:14.839 So he was just this wimp wimp king had everything he wanted, but like 237 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:19.359 just total wimp. Right, So he is like, oh, go kill 238 00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:23.880 this lion at that slain one hundred people. So Hercules shows up, beats 239 00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:27.359 the lion to death of the club skins him with his bare hands, comes 240 00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:33.319 back wearing the lion's pelt, and that freaked the little kid out, like 241 00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:36.240 the little wimp out. Yeah, So then he sent him to kill the 242 00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:42.359 hydra. Killed the hydra. Then he sent him to kill a boar. 243 00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:49.039 Killed the boar? Are these of his labors? Yeah? These are his 244 00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:55.279 twelve labors, and I'm trying to remember them all. Anyway, He's he 245 00:18:55.359 --> 00:19:00.559 goes on these quest of just absolutely destroying everything that he's told to He's like 246 00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:04.000 super noble. I mean, he's got honestly like a pretty good deal. 247 00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:07.359 He just shows up and they're like, he's so scared of Hercules. He's 248 00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:11.039 like, what can I just send him out to do? Like I wasn't 249 00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:12.799 ready. We weren't supposed to do that that fast, like you were supposed 250 00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:17.920 to die, you know. And so he sends him out, and where 251 00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:22.079 does it get interesting? It's pretty interesting already. Yeah, I'm trying to 252 00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:26.920 like trying to remember some of the things that I thought about that were we're 253 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:33.559 really relevant here, really just kind of reciting, yeah, just reciting the 254 00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:37.400 whole story. The thing that I'm really curious about is like, based on 255 00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:41.759 what you've read and what you know, how what do you feel like is 256 00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:45.799 the deeper meaning of the story? Yeah, the moral of the Hercules myth. 257 00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:52.480 Well, one big thing is definitely that he like he like chose the 258 00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:56.640 hardship path. Yeah, that's a huge part of it. I mean, 259 00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:00.680 he he, he chose to put himself through all of that stuff, and 260 00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:04.160 he took the advice, and he wanted a life of like glory, and 261 00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:07.839 he wanted to walk the hero's path rather than taking the easy life, because 262 00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:11.039 like a lot of the gods of Olympus are just like chilling. They're like, 263 00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:14.440 I don't got to do nothing. I'm just gonna go out and be 264 00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:21.039 a delinquent hooligan and whatever. Yeah, it was interesting because you know, 265 00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:25.640 I had this thought and this is kind of unrelated, more overarching related here. 266 00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.359 I had this thought and it was like, we're created in God's image, 267 00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:34.240 and then you have all of these like gods, right, these Greek 268 00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:41.640 mythology gods who are so very human in the sense that they like respond to 269 00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:47.279 emotion. And that got me thinking, like, we're created in the really 270 00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:49.680 in the image of God. You have all of these guys that were more 271 00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:55.920 or less created by people like these are Demand's rendition of these gods, and 272 00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:59.799 they're all very emotional and they all mess up. Oh yeah, like they're 273 00:20:59.839 --> 00:21:03.440 not perfect. And now we have this image of a perfect God and everybody 274 00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:07.240 likes to go, well, if your god was so perfect. Why famine? 275 00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:10.000 Why this? Why bad thing? Why bad thing? But then you 276 00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:11.160 think about it, like through this lens, it's like, well, maybe 277 00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:17.839 God is just a little bit more person than we like to think. I 278 00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:21.960 mean, like he's been portrayed this way with these gods. Like who's to 279 00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:23.559 say he doesn't have a bad day and bad things happen, you know what 280 00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:26.759 I mean? Like you have bad days and bad things happen. You know 281 00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:33.599 what I'm saying. Oh yeah, I was actually listening to a podcast today, 282 00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:38.039 Rain Wilson's podcast. He had Surge Tankian on from System of a Down 283 00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:44.920 and they were talking about how, like, you know, pantheism like this, 284 00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:51.400 this idea of all of these different gods representing different aspects of nature is 285 00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:56.920 like, in a way, a very it's like a very true, noble 286 00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:03.960 way to look at God, like the spirit of all things, because you 287 00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:07.839 look at you know, they used to look at the sun and and praise 288 00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.000 the sun, and pray to the God of rain, and pray to the 289 00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:15.599 God of the forest, and prayed to the God of the harvest, and 290 00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:22.480 you know it. They saw God in everything in their own way obviously, 291 00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:27.359 but you know, the whole idea of like not having this like face of 292 00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:32.920 an overarching God, but rather seeing the energy of God in all things, 293 00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:40.680 represented as these humanoid deities that are the quote unquote God of that thing. 294 00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:48.319 It's it's really just an abstract way of worshiping the true spirit of all things 295 00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:52.799 in each aspect of nature. You know, it's not it's not literally that 296 00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:56.640 they're worshiping all of these different gods, or some of them were, but 297 00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:03.599 the true like scholars and say ages of the time recognized it as you're worshiping 298 00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:11.119 one entity. You're just doing it through all these different faces, you know. 299 00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:17.960 Yeah, I like the more like the Hindu version, which is like 300 00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:26.240 there is one ultimate, supreme, transcendent God that they recognize as Brahma and 301 00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:33.920 Brama. Is this it's basically the idea that there's this impersonal, ultimate higher 302 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:37.480 deity, but all of these different you know, you have like Hanuman and 303 00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:41.880 Krishna and Shiva and Kali, all of these different Like when you get deeper 304 00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:45.400 into Hinduism, it's not that these are literally gods, but it's that they 305 00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:56.319 are different archetypal expressions. This stimulate our imagination because God is so infinite and 306 00:23:56.400 --> 00:24:02.839 so inconceivable and unfathomable that in every different person on the planet, we all 307 00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:10.000 have different perspective, different different ways of thinking about life and interpreting things and 308 00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:15.119 experiencing things, that in the sense that God is inside every one of us, 309 00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:19.640 there is some different archetype that resonates with each and every one of us 310 00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:23.519 in a different way that it resonates with everyone else. Yeah, same kind 311 00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:30.319 of concept. It's the same kind of concept, except the Hindus like it 312 00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:34.000 was more explicit, like you know they there is Brahma, the overarching God. 313 00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:40.160 Then yeah, but it's it's kind of I like that outlook of it. 314 00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:44.359 It's you know, thinking about it is not worshiping literally all these different 315 00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:47.880 gods, but they're all aspects of the one God. Yeah, like that's 316 00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:49.519 really cool. But then it's like at the end of the day, you 317 00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:53.319 know, the truth is the truth, you know, and there really can 318 00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:59.240 only really be one transcendent thing, you know. Yeah, yeah, it's 319 00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:03.599 just being reference in it as all these different figures or yeah, yeah, 320 00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:07.200 or like we you know, over time have understood it from different lenses. 321 00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:11.799 You know, for sure, for sure got about hercules. Well, I 322 00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:15.599 forgot the one of the coolest parts I think was was before all of this, 323 00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:22.519 when he's in the cradle. Hara so mad that this child is born. 324 00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:27.079 She sent two serpents into his into his cradle to kill him. He 325 00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:32.319 choked, choked both of these serpents and just laughing about it, and then 326 00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:37.519 was mad when they died. That's in the movie. It's a little different. 327 00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:41.079 He's like giggling and he grabs them and he's like ah and he chokes 328 00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:48.960 them, Yeah, chokes them out. Dude's just a fighter, like, 329 00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:52.279 not in the sense that he's aggressive, like he like, okay, yeah, 330 00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:56.319 whatever, he killed his family. He was drunk man, you know. 331 00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:00.880 And then I feel like there's a lesson there, oh for sure, 332 00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:04.240 for sure, Like the whole why do they call it spirit stuff? Yeah? 333 00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:07.920 Yeah, no, that's a main takeaway. And he didn't listen to 334 00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:12.920 the sage advice of his mentor you know, like yeah, and if you 335 00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:19.519 really think about it, that one decision to drink was an emotional decision driven 336 00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:25.640 by he was mad at his father because he wouldn't let him marry the other 337 00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:33.519 girl, and after he had promised drunkenly promised earlier. So the dude drunkenly 338 00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:38.160 promised, then everybody's drunk. He starts getting drunk. Emotional decision to begin 339 00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:45.920 drinking, bad decision. And then and then it all comes full circle when 340 00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:48.960 he goes to try and meet up with Kyron, and Kyron is scared of 341 00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:52.920 him because he says, if a man drinks once, he'll drink again. 342 00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:57.079 And up to that point, Hercules had not drank. After he killed his 343 00:26:57.079 --> 00:27:00.559 whole family, He's like, man, I don't drink. This stuff ain't 344 00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:04.680 good. But then when he found out that his mentor was scared of him 345 00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:10.880 and thought that he would drink again, he got mad and drank again and 346 00:27:11.000 --> 00:27:18.720 then shot his mentor with a poison arrow that was the poison from the crab 347 00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:23.079 Cancer that Hara had sent to kill him. After he killed the hydra, 348 00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:30.079 the crab came up out of the swamp, and he killed the crab and 349 00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:33.960 then took the arrow out of the crab with the black poison on it. 350 00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:37.839 Harah got so mad at the crab she threw it into the sky and created 351 00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:42.640 the constellation Cancer. And then he, in a drunken haze, shot his 352 00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:48.559 centaur friend Kirn with this poison arrow. But Chyron is immortal, so He's 353 00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:53.200 just writhing in pain all night, writhing in pain all day. He's like, 354 00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:56.920 you fool, you shot me with a poison arrow. I can't die. 355 00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:06.440 I'm just in pain. And uh so Hercules pleads with the gods and 356 00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:11.079 basically takes his friend and throws him into the sky and he becomes the constellation. 357 00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:15.279 Sounds like his mentor was right about this kid, and what did he 358 00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:18.200 get for it? He got thrown into the sky. He was scared of 359 00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:22.000 him, and he did the thing he was scared of ye and he heard 360 00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:23.839 him. Yeah, it was more of like a but it was in a 361 00:28:23.839 --> 00:28:30.079 weird like don't meet your heroes kind of sense, like it was he wasn't 362 00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:33.079 He was going there planning on seeing his friend, like just wanted to. 363 00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:40.839 He was on a mission. He hadn't slept inside in years, and he 364 00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:41.559 was like, man, I just want to see my friend. Well, 365 00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:44.799 the dude that was at the house was like, nah, dude, your 366 00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:48.480 your friend's scared of you. And he's like, he called him a fool. 367 00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:55.400 He called him. The dude he was Hercules was talking to called Kirn 368 00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:57.559 a fool, and he was like, you call my mentor a fool, 369 00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:04.319 He's right, and he drink again. I'll show you he's right. Yeah, 370 00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:10.319 it was. It's all weird, right, that is weird. It's 371 00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:12.880 like a self fulfilling prophecy kind of yeah. Yeah, or like the further 372 00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:17.480 you run away from your fate, you ultimately meet it. And he decided 373 00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:22.039 his fate early on. But like you know, it's it's like it's gotta 374 00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:26.759 be tough if you're half got well, yeah, that was like his whole 375 00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:32.240 plight and also like estranged from his actual blood, like he didn't get to 376 00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:37.519 live in Olympus with his actual blood. You know. Yeah, Hercules, 377 00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:42.160 I changed my mind about my myth. Okay, I want to talk about 378 00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:47.440 a biblical myth, all right, the myth of Job. Mm hmm, 379 00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:53.680 like from Arrested Development. No, this is Job Job. Yes. I 380 00:29:53.720 --> 00:30:00.880 think it's a very important story. It's something that h my dad has always 381 00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:04.359 talked to me about growing up, and it was very important to him. 382 00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:10.039 You guys familiar with the Book of Job very much. It's a negative no, 383 00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:12.519 Yeah, my dad talked about that one a lot too. Yeah. 384 00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:15.079 I feel like a lot of dad's talked about that one. You know. 385 00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:22.799 It's such a great story. So essentially for those that aren't aware of the 386 00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:29.920 Book of Job. It's this guy who's it's this Old Testament humble guy who 387 00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:33.240 I say humble because he's not like a king or a prophet or anything like 388 00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:38.200 that. And he's basically like known to be the most loyal to God, 389 00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:44.680 like literally like the angels in heaven and God and even I guess it says 390 00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:48.519 Satan get together and they make bets about how loyal he is, you know, 391 00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:52.960 they'll never curse God. He was also a very wealthy man, was 392 00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:57.880 he The reason that they made that Satan made that bet was because he was 393 00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:02.119 like, well, yeah, obviously he rides for you because he's look at 394 00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:04.240 him, he's thriving, he's got everything. He has this successful farm, 395 00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:08.640 and he's wealthy and successful and has a happy family, and like, obviously 396 00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:12.359 he worships you. Yeah, And Satan was like, I bet I can 397 00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:15.960 get him to curse you, And God's like, I don't know, you 398 00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:19.000 know, he's my most loyal So they have this bet, and basically the 399 00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:25.319 bet was you can do anything to get him to curse you. You just 400 00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:30.160 cannot kill him. That's basically it. You can't kill him, you know, 401 00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:32.880 you can kill his livestock. You can kill his family, you can 402 00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:34.559 send him plague, whatever you want to do, just don't kill him. 403 00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:41.480 And ultimately he had I don't remember how many children he had, but over 404 00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:47.640 the course of months or years, he basically was hit with famine plague. 405 00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:51.920 All of his wealth went away. His wife died, his children died, 406 00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:56.640 They were all killed with plagues. He actually was cursed with painful boils all 407 00:31:56.680 --> 00:32:00.000 over his body, where even when he laid down he was and writhing pain. 408 00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:06.920 All his livestock dead, He had nothing left, and down to the 409 00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:13.839 last moment of despair, he never cursed God. And God wins the bet. 410 00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:20.599 And I think because of that he was blessed tenfold and all of it 411 00:32:20.599 --> 00:32:22.880 came out. He got a new wife, he got like more kids, 412 00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:30.240 upgrade. Everything was upgraded. More kids, new wife, more livestock, 413 00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:37.000 more wealth. Now, obviously I don't believe that this literally happened. I 414 00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:42.039 think that it was like an old metaphor about you know, keeping your faith 415 00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:45.480 in God through hardship. It can get down to the lowest low, but 416 00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:51.319 then you know you're rewarded tenfold for your faith. And I think that that 417 00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:54.279 is like very profound when you think about it. I mean I do. 418 00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:58.440 I do think it's true. I think that when you because it's like, 419 00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:06.039 why do hardship happen except to be the test for how we're going to react 420 00:33:06.039 --> 00:33:10.599 when things are bad. Yeah, yeah, And you know the whole thing 421 00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:15.039 of like Satan saying, well, yeah, of course you're of course he's 422 00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:19.680 happy in worshiping you because he has everything right? Of course he does. 423 00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:22.640 But is he going to do that when he has nothing right? And it's 424 00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:28.319 that that that absolutely is a testament of like are you still going to believe 425 00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:32.519 when things are bad? Are you still going to pray when things are bad? 426 00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:37.519 Are you still going to like praise God when things are bad? It's 427 00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:43.000 so easy, like to be you know, have faith, or to be 428 00:33:43.160 --> 00:33:45.759 positive or optimistic when things are good, when you're wealthy, when you don't 429 00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:50.200 have stresses, when you don't have things to worry about. But then like, 430 00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:53.599 I literally believe, like blessed is the person who can do those things 431 00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:58.039 when things are bad, when things are tough, you know, and growing 432 00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:00.359 up, my dad would always tell me, like, because of things getting 433 00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:02.680 hard, he was like, it's like job, I feel like I really 434 00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:07.079 relate to the story. It's like job, and someday it's all going to 435 00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:10.119 come back, it's all going to turn around and be positive. And he's 436 00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:13.519 just like, we just got to keep our faith. And you know, 437 00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:15.760 God's time is different than our time. It works on a longer scale and 438 00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:20.719 all this, and you know, I don't know I think that is. 439 00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:30.079 It's it's just really like profound to me to think about. No. Yeah, 440 00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:32.840 that's the reason that I'm familiar with the story is it is the same 441 00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:37.480 with my dad. Like stuff was tough a lot growing up, and he 442 00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:40.280 was just always like, look at job, he was blessed tenfold because he 443 00:34:40.360 --> 00:34:44.559 kept his faith. Just keep your faith, keep praying, keep you know, 444 00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:47.519 read your Bible. Yeah, but I mean that's really it. That's 445 00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:52.400 really the story. It's a short story, yeah, but it's an important 446 00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:54.599 one. Yeah, you're definitely quiet over there. I just I didn't have 447 00:34:54.639 --> 00:35:00.000 to read a whole book that I think is it's but it was more just 448 00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:05.440 me understand I'm misunderstanding. Also, I'm just super hyped up on the fact 449 00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:09.239 that they have audio books on Spotify. Yeah, I have really I've read 450 00:35:10.280 --> 00:35:16.159 three books this year on on Spotify audio books. Like I'm I'm actually getting 451 00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:21.719 some reading in because I can listen to it, like that's yeah, that's 452 00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:25.239 awesome. Dad's book is on Spotify now yeah, actually, well yeah, 453 00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:29.800 no it is, but me and Olivia were. She doesn't, we're on 454 00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:32.159 the family plan. She can't listen to it, but I can. I 455 00:35:32.199 --> 00:35:37.880 don't know. That's weird. Yeah, it's not really any thoughts on job 456 00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:39.880 anything stand out to you. Yeah, a lot. Not interesting, the 457 00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:45.760 same thing y'all said. I mean I was. I always grew up being 458 00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:51.639 told the greedy become the needy in the sense that like the tighter you hold 459 00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:54.599 onto things like that material things, the quicker they just fall through your hands. 460 00:35:54.920 --> 00:35:59.760 Yeah, but like I think life has a way of bouncing back, 461 00:35:59.800 --> 00:36:02.519 man. And it's like somebody told me in the insurance game, somebody who 462 00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:06.920 went through like highs and lows of making a lot of money, and he 463 00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:08.639 was just telling me, like, you got to change your mindset about things. 464 00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:13.039 You got to have faith, and there's going to come a time when 465 00:36:13.039 --> 00:36:15.679 you're ready in your life that God will be able to open a faucet for 466 00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:21.480 success and it'll just pour like water and it'll be like nothing you've ever experienced, 467 00:36:21.480 --> 00:36:22.480 and you just have to have the faith. Now, put your head 468 00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:28.079 down, do the work, and you have the faith, and eventually that 469 00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:30.679 faucet is just going to turn on and everything's going to change. And I 470 00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:34.440 was like, wow, that's really profound to think about. And I do 471 00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:38.599 think that's true. Like we talked about this on Nature Loves Courage. It's 472 00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:43.000 kind of a similar thing, I believe, like they're not quite the same 473 00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:46.400 thing, but I think they're similar things like you keep your faith. Really 474 00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:50.639 like when things are low, you keep your faith, you keep your high 475 00:36:50.679 --> 00:36:54.400 spirits, you keep your optimism, and things turn around and they bounce back. 476 00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:58.960 But then it's like I think if you lose your faith. And when 477 00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:00.360 I say you know your faith, I mean in the fact that there are 478 00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:05.760 good possible outcomes, that there are forces that want to help us, that 479 00:37:05.800 --> 00:37:07.760 are willing to you know, meet us happy. Yeah. I mean if 480 00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:10.320 you think about it from like a personal perspective, right, like, are 481 00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:15.480 you going to be more apt to help somebody with a shitty attitude? No, 482 00:37:15.239 --> 00:37:19.360 are you going to be more app to help the person who's always smiling, 483 00:37:19.679 --> 00:37:22.719 who you would never know, you know, is going through hardship because 484 00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:27.719 they are just like, Yeah, everything's great, I'm on this side of 485 00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:32.880 the ground. You know, life's good. Like it. The attitude just 486 00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:37.639 absolutely dictates everything, Like you are in control me and you were talking about 487 00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:42.440 this the other week, right, Like you're in control of your emotions at 488 00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:45.960 all times. It's not easy. It's not an easy thing to transmute a 489 00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:52.800 bad day into very positive emotions internally, but like you are in charge of 490 00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:57.719 what's going on behind here well, even like emotions, Like I think sometimes 491 00:37:57.719 --> 00:38:01.239 it may be impossible. Like you have your logical your rational mind, and 492 00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:07.480 then you have your emotional mind, and I think, like it's totally alright 493 00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:10.000 for your emotional mind to be freaked out, like, oh my god, 494 00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:15.159 things aren't going okay, things aren't going okay. But then in your rational 495 00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:17.880 mind, your logical mind. I think that's the key where the faith comes 496 00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:22.360 in. It's like you think about it logically, like, no, it 497 00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:25.719 is gonna be all right. It is gonna be alright because I do have 498 00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:30.440 some level of control over my situation. I do have the ability to navigate 499 00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:36.960 through this, and I know that there are forces out there that are willing 500 00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:39.599 to help me. But things are unfolding in a way that is beyond my 501 00:38:39.719 --> 00:38:44.519 perception, and I don't understand it. And sometimes things you know, just 502 00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:46.880 have to be bad. Maybe it's a test, maybe it's a lesson, 503 00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:51.119 whatever, But I don't know. I think the story of Job is super 504 00:38:51.159 --> 00:38:55.000 profound. Yeah, I think so too. That's a good one. Yeah, 505 00:38:55.079 --> 00:39:00.320 all right, I'm gonna do my first one. Ready, I'm as 506 00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:07.840 ready as i'll ever be. Let's talk about the theogeny, the Clash of 507 00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:10.599 the Titans. Are you guys familiar with this story at all? Isn't this 508 00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:22.559 a movie, remember the Titans. Clash of the Titans, though, is 509 00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:25.440 a fantastic movie. There's a really old one and then there's a newer one 510 00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:30.760 that they did fantastic. It's so good, really good too. Yeah, 511 00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:37.639 yeah, totally okay. According to Hesiod's Theogony, in the beginning, there 512 00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:45.679 was only chaos. Dense darkness covered everything until the Earth was born out of 513 00:39:45.760 --> 00:39:50.960 chaos, and the mountains, the sea, and then the sky Uranus with 514 00:39:51.079 --> 00:39:54.360 the sun, the moon and the stars. So it's like before everything was 515 00:39:54.440 --> 00:39:59.840 just dark chaos, and everything was born out of that. Then you're in 516 00:39:59.880 --> 00:40:06.119 a and Earth came together and gave birth to the Titans. Not the football 517 00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:12.880 team, but Uranus was afraid that one of his children would take his throne. 518 00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:15.320 That that is why he enclosed every one of them in the depths of 519 00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:20.480 the earth. But his son Cronus, the strongest of the Titans, defeated 520 00:40:20.559 --> 00:40:24.679 him and became the world leader. He married Reya, who gave birth to 521 00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:30.360 two gods and three goddesses, Hades, Poseidon, Herah, Hestia, and 522 00:40:30.599 --> 00:40:37.800 Demeter. But Cronus inherited the fear of his father and believed that one of 523 00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:43.440 his offspring would later take his throne. So when they were born, he 524 00:40:43.840 --> 00:40:47.800 what did he do? Popquiz? What? Pup quiz? Pupquiz? Nope? 525 00:40:49.199 --> 00:40:52.760 He ate him. Yeah, well I didn't know that. Wouldn't you 526 00:40:52.840 --> 00:40:54.079 have to cut him up before you eat him? No, dude, he 527 00:40:54.159 --> 00:40:59.119 was like bigger than mountains. He was like they were like tic tac size 528 00:40:59.119 --> 00:41:02.360 to him. He ate him. Uh, yeah, he swallowed them. 529 00:41:02.519 --> 00:41:07.920 However, Reo was expecting a sixth child and fearing it would share the same 530 00:41:07.960 --> 00:41:12.280 fate with her other children, she secretly gave birth on a mountain in crete 531 00:41:12.559 --> 00:41:17.840 and hid the newborn there. She named this child Zeus. She also tricked 532 00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:22.480 Cronus into thinking he swallowed this child too, by giving him a stone wrapped 533 00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:27.840 in swaddling clothes, which Cronus swallowed, thinking it was his newborn. The 534 00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:30.719 nymphs took care of Zeus and fed the baby with the milk of a goat. 535 00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:34.840 When he grew up, Zeus found his father had tricked him into drinking 536 00:41:34.880 --> 00:41:44.119 a mixture of wine and mustard. Iww that too. I mean it can't 537 00:41:44.159 --> 00:41:46.280 be that bad. I mean, if you think about like ancient wine and 538 00:41:46.320 --> 00:41:51.800 then ancient mustard, they got myths about how bad it is. That's about 539 00:41:52.159 --> 00:41:53.679 all this. Yeah, yeah, it's right here. Yeah, it's it's 540 00:41:53.800 --> 00:41:57.480 right here, plain and simple. Dude, it's bad. You want to 541 00:41:57.519 --> 00:42:00.440 try it. I'm just saying, there's a lot of things worse than eating 542 00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:06.480 that fair to the Greeks. No, why is sacred to the Greeks. 543 00:42:06.519 --> 00:42:12.480 It's ambrosia. It's the nectar of the gods. Uh ask Hercules about it. 544 00:42:12.599 --> 00:42:16.400 Yeah, oh yeah. Uh So his father tricked him into drinking a 545 00:42:16.440 --> 00:42:21.679 mixture of wine and mustard, which caused him to disgorge the contents of his 546 00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:28.639 stomach. Zeus's older brothers and sisters came out of Cronus fully grown. This 547 00:42:28.800 --> 00:42:35.639 is how the Great Tinomachi began the war between the giants and the gods, 548 00:42:35.719 --> 00:42:40.840 with Zeus as their leader. This Titanic battle lasted for ten years. The 549 00:42:40.880 --> 00:42:45.400 gods ultimately defeated the Titans and threw them into Tartarus, a dark and gloomy 550 00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:51.599 place as far from the earth as Earth is from the sky. Then the 551 00:42:51.599 --> 00:42:54.840 gods fought with the giants for the dominance of the world. The Giganta Machi 552 00:42:55.000 --> 00:43:00.000 lasted a long time as well, but the gods were again victorious. Thus 553 00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:02.079 Zeus became the ruler of the whole world, and he and the other gods 554 00:43:02.119 --> 00:43:09.679 settled in Olympus. Thoughts number one, I think, I think the whole 555 00:43:09.719 --> 00:43:16.960 thing with the myth of in Greek mythology, everything prior to creation being just 556 00:43:17.280 --> 00:43:25.960 chaos. Chaos, Yeah, just like dark chaos is kind of it's kind 557 00:43:27.039 --> 00:43:34.840 of symbolic of like it's like directionless, it's meaningless, it's it's volatile, 558 00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:38.320 it's it has no depth, meaning, no, no, nothing, it's 559 00:43:38.360 --> 00:43:42.920 not It's interesting because like, okay, the Bible, the myth of the 560 00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:45.599 Bible, you know, is that there was just nothing before, everything was 561 00:43:45.679 --> 00:43:52.159 just nothing. But in this myth it's like it's not nothing, it's chaos. 562 00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:58.960 And then through out of chaos came order, which is the Masonic motto. 563 00:43:59.519 --> 00:44:02.360 Pretty cool. I don't know what do y'all think. I think that's 564 00:44:02.360 --> 00:44:06.880 pretty dope. Well, dude, you can look at so many different mythologies 565 00:44:07.079 --> 00:44:13.159 that say the exact same thing. Like the Babylonian mythology in the beginning was 566 00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:16.840 the darkness, and it was some bolic of I think it was Tiamot and 567 00:44:16.920 --> 00:44:22.440 she was like a seven headed dragon. Yeah, yeah, all these heads 568 00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:25.719 writhing in different directions, and it's it's this chaos, this great void of 569 00:44:25.760 --> 00:44:30.119 the universe, before there was light, before there was form, before there 570 00:44:30.159 --> 00:44:36.320 was order. And then Marduke slays the dragon with this special blade and cuts 571 00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:37.719 its head off, and then you know, brings order to the universe. 572 00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:42.920 Yeah, or you have the myth of It's like that. In Egypt, 573 00:44:42.960 --> 00:44:45.280 some of the versions of the story are like Noon the goddess of the watery 574 00:44:45.400 --> 00:44:51.000 abyss of you know, the void, and then you have amun Rah or 575 00:44:51.039 --> 00:44:54.679 some people say Pitta forged the universe, or I say some people as in 576 00:44:54.800 --> 00:45:00.440 like it changed over the dynastic periods of Egypt. You know, they altered 577 00:45:00.440 --> 00:45:04.920 their myth and stuff like that. It's everywhere, this this concept, and 578 00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:07.039 I think there's a reason why the Freemasons are saying out of chaos order. 579 00:45:07.079 --> 00:45:10.119 I think there's something to it that's very true, you know, yeah, 580 00:45:10.119 --> 00:45:14.760 I agree. Yeah. There's a couple other cool themes though, in the 581 00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:20.440 story of the Titans and stuff like breaking generational curses. Yeah, that too 582 00:45:20.840 --> 00:45:23.800 is a huge one, Like if Cronus hadn't followed in his father's footsteps, 583 00:45:24.280 --> 00:45:28.119 you know, it would have been different. But then also it's like the 584 00:45:28.199 --> 00:45:32.159 twist of fate thing, like, yes, there was this massive, cataclysmic 585 00:45:32.519 --> 00:45:39.039 like battle, cosmic battle, but it was ultimately fate, like it couldn't 586 00:45:39.039 --> 00:45:45.199 be reversed. It had to happen that way, and everything that is came 587 00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:50.480 because that happened. It's like it's like one of those things where it's just 588 00:45:50.559 --> 00:45:53.119 it's written in the stars and it's destiny, it's fate and it must be 589 00:45:53.239 --> 00:45:58.920 that way, and you know, it's it seems like utter chaos, but 590 00:45:59.119 --> 00:46:01.519 there is a re in for it. There's a cosmic reason that all of 591 00:46:01.519 --> 00:46:07.400 these things are happening. The according to Greek myth, the realms as we 592 00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:13.000 know it, the world as we know it wouldn't exist without that huge catastrophic 593 00:46:13.079 --> 00:46:17.840 battle and all of that weird like child eating and shit. So I think 594 00:46:17.840 --> 00:46:21.719 it's pretty cool. Yeah, no, it's super cool. I think another 595 00:46:21.840 --> 00:46:24.239 element that might not be the intention, but it's like, damn bro, 596 00:46:24.440 --> 00:46:28.440 Like, if he didn't kill his own dad, maybe he wouldn't have been 597 00:46:28.480 --> 00:46:30.159 like, you know, hiding his peace with his one eye open at night 598 00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:34.079 while he's asleep, thinking now, my son's gonna kill me. That's what 599 00:46:34.079 --> 00:46:36.840 I'm saying. He had this guilt like, yes, you know, this 600 00:46:36.920 --> 00:46:39.119 dude's capable of what I did. Yeah, you know what I mean. 601 00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:44.079 But he thought that because he did it, he did it. Yeah you 602 00:46:44.079 --> 00:46:45.639 know. I don't know if that was the intention, but that's what I 603 00:46:45.679 --> 00:46:49.679 picked up. I also like just what y'all are saying too. I also 604 00:46:49.719 --> 00:46:54.639 think that if he hadn't ate his kids, she wouldn't have a reason to 605 00:46:54.760 --> 00:46:59.719 hide the last one, and it probably never would have happened, exactly, 606 00:46:59.719 --> 00:47:02.199 Like, there's no reason to get at your dad if you never ate your 607 00:47:02.239 --> 00:47:06.639 brothers and sisters, right right, it's he brought it on himself, right 608 00:47:06.679 --> 00:47:08.679 well, and then it's like he manifested that negative things. You so tweaked 609 00:47:08.679 --> 00:47:13.199 out about it and all she wanted to do was see one of her kids 610 00:47:13.199 --> 00:47:15.639 grow up. I guess yeah. Literally, it's like karma. Could you 611 00:47:15.679 --> 00:47:21.559 imagine being like one of freaking Kronos's teenage daughters. Man, You're like trying 612 00:47:21.559 --> 00:47:25.880 to stay out, you know, till eleven PM with your date or something, 613 00:47:25.920 --> 00:47:29.519 and you know he's like, you got to be home by nine pm, 614 00:47:29.519 --> 00:47:31.000 and they're just like, go eat rocks, dad, you know, 615 00:47:31.239 --> 00:47:36.239 just go drink mustard. Yeah, actually, did I know? Yeah? 616 00:47:36.440 --> 00:47:42.079 Well, I mean imagine being trapped in a stomach with your brothers and sisters 617 00:47:42.159 --> 00:47:45.760 for like your whole life, Dude, what do you what are you doing 618 00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:50.599 there? And then a rock just plops in? Like what the fuck was 619 00:47:52.599 --> 00:48:00.039 how stupid? Mustard? And ki children and rocks and are just creating a 620 00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:01.559 soup in this stuffy well. I mean, if the dude's eating rocks, 621 00:48:01.559 --> 00:48:06.920 he should be scared someone's gonna take his place. I mean, nobody wants 622 00:48:06.920 --> 00:48:12.400 a leader eating rock. Yeah, I'd follow you if you ate rocks, 623 00:48:12.440 --> 00:48:15.280 Alex. Screw that, I don't even need it. What screw that? 624 00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:19.480 Screw that dude, man, Yeah, I'm thinking that, like he ate 625 00:48:19.519 --> 00:48:24.920 a rock and he's the leader of the universe. Yeah, they got him 626 00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:29.760 to eat a rock. What an idiot, dumb ass, stupid idiot. 627 00:48:30.239 --> 00:48:34.400 Well, if my feeds me a rock, I'm gonna know something's up. 628 00:48:35.559 --> 00:48:38.199 Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's super cool. You should watch 629 00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:44.199 the movie, man, it's really And then there's a sequel called Wrath of 630 00:48:44.239 --> 00:48:46.679 the Titans. I have not seen that one yet. Does he eat them 631 00:48:46.679 --> 00:48:50.360 in the movie? I don't. They don't show, no, no, 632 00:48:50.159 --> 00:48:52.880 no. The story this is after they come out of the stomach. It's 633 00:48:52.920 --> 00:48:58.760 different. Well, the Titans and the gods and stuff are involved, but 634 00:48:58.920 --> 00:49:01.519 it's more so I think it has to do with like the Trojan War. 635 00:49:01.599 --> 00:49:05.599 Maybe it's been a long time. It's like not, you know, like 636 00:49:05.679 --> 00:49:07.199 that. I think it's the Iliot in the Odyssey. Maybe I don't know. 637 00:49:07.320 --> 00:49:09.840 I don't think. So it's been a long time since I've seen it, 638 00:49:09.880 --> 00:49:13.920 so I probably just sound like an idiot, but it's I remember it 639 00:49:13.960 --> 00:49:16.119 being I don't think it's the Ilio. Yeah, probably not, but I 640 00:49:16.400 --> 00:49:21.280 remember it being an awesome movie. I know that much for sure. So 641 00:49:21.320 --> 00:49:23.960 we should all watch it together because it's obviously been a long time since I've 642 00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:28.519 seen it. Well, Ryan gets his movie theater room set up movie theater 643 00:49:28.599 --> 00:49:31.719 room. Yeah, your living room. Oh okay. I was about to 644 00:49:31.719 --> 00:49:35.239 say, man, we got a studio room up in here, a movie 645 00:49:35.239 --> 00:49:37.639 theater room. That would be cool. Man, all right, you want 646 00:49:37.639 --> 00:49:43.639 to hit me with one? Yeah, sure, I would like to do 647 00:49:44.239 --> 00:49:47.960 the myth of Osiris. I'm gonna look it up though, generally, because 648 00:49:49.920 --> 00:49:53.320 that's what we agreed that we were gonna do, is weight, right, 649 00:49:53.480 --> 00:49:59.039 right, that's what we have. No idea what this is, just like 650 00:49:59.119 --> 00:50:02.800 that text thread. Yeah, then Hercules. There's a bull. Oh yeah, 651 00:50:02.800 --> 00:50:07.639 what's up with the bulls? So yeah, Poseidon's jealous. It's like, 652 00:50:07.639 --> 00:50:10.159 why is everybody talking about Hercules? You should be talking about me. 653 00:50:12.079 --> 00:50:15.400 So I'm gonna make a bull and made a bull. The bulls terrorizing Blue 654 00:50:15.480 --> 00:50:21.239 Bull, it's terrorizing the town. And everybody's like, you gotta get Hercules, 655 00:50:21.239 --> 00:50:23.679 you gotta get Hercules, which I guess was his plan. I don't. 656 00:50:23.840 --> 00:50:29.760 I didn't really make sense to me. Hercules shows up and uh, 657 00:50:29.960 --> 00:50:32.079 basically, oh, here's what I want to say about Hercules is like, 658 00:50:34.239 --> 00:50:38.039 think you think that the dude is just like brute force, right, Like 659 00:50:38.199 --> 00:50:42.199 I'm just gonna show up and throw this centaur in the sky right, which 660 00:50:42.239 --> 00:50:46.519 he did. Ye, But yeah, he's really really smart. Like in 661 00:50:46.599 --> 00:50:52.280 all of the victories that he had against these great beasts were wit They were 662 00:50:52.360 --> 00:50:54.920 victories of the mind. Right, He outwitted these beasts, all of them. 663 00:50:55.000 --> 00:50:58.360 I mean he had to strength to back it up for sure, like 664 00:50:58.400 --> 00:51:01.800 a normal person couldn't do this. So basically, also arguably many of the 665 00:51:01.840 --> 00:51:05.519 other gods couldn't have done it, even though they were just as strong, 666 00:51:05.559 --> 00:51:08.039 and some of them stronger. Right, he had the mind for it, 667 00:51:08.119 --> 00:51:10.639 right. And the whole time he's getting made fun of because they said he 668 00:51:12.039 --> 00:51:16.480 wasn't smart. He was smart. So the bull thing, he basically just 669 00:51:16.519 --> 00:51:22.400 had this bull chase him, and he ran everywhere and this bull's right behind 670 00:51:22.480 --> 00:51:23.440 him, and then the bull would catch up to him, and he got 671 00:51:23.480 --> 00:51:28.440 on the marble street and the bull couldn't run as fast on the marble because 672 00:51:28.440 --> 00:51:32.199 his hoofs and basically tired this bull out and then ran into the ocean. 673 00:51:32.280 --> 00:51:37.639 The bull followed him into the ocean and then started to drown, and so 674 00:51:37.719 --> 00:51:40.239 he's like, wait, this bull's half dead drowning, and he just grabs 675 00:51:40.280 --> 00:51:44.039 the bull and drags him up to the sand and then they're just laying there, 676 00:51:44.079 --> 00:51:51.719 exhausted together. And then Poseidon's half son showed up, half mortal, 677 00:51:51.840 --> 00:51:57.199 half Poseidon. Apparently the dude's huge. I mean it's a book, you 678 00:51:57.199 --> 00:52:01.960 know, and so I didn't get to see him, but that's how books 679 00:52:02.000 --> 00:52:07.679 work. Yeah, and so then they start fighting. That gets Poseidon really 680 00:52:07.719 --> 00:52:10.199 angry. For some reason, I thought this was his whole plan. He 681 00:52:10.239 --> 00:52:13.639 comes out of the ocean and it's like, yo, put my son down 682 00:52:13.639 --> 00:52:17.400 because Hercules is putting the whooping on this giant dude. And then they strike 683 00:52:17.440 --> 00:52:24.679 a deal, and Hercules got a sea horse for putting this all right, 684 00:52:24.719 --> 00:52:29.960 So what's the moral there, Alex, go ahead. He didn't want the 685 00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:37.320 seahorse. The moral is let a bull chase you and you will get a 686 00:52:37.360 --> 00:52:44.000 sea horse. It's just like you know your enemy are to war. How 687 00:52:44.039 --> 00:52:46.480 big is the sea horse. It's like a full blown horse. He can 688 00:52:46.559 --> 00:52:49.840 ride it. Yeah, it made of gold. It's not a sea horse 689 00:52:50.079 --> 00:52:52.360 a gold well, it's like shiny gold. I'll be going to the pawn 690 00:52:52.360 --> 00:53:00.679 shop. Oh. He also pulled h He created the straight up Gibraltar. 691 00:53:00.039 --> 00:53:07.280 He like formed the yeah wow. Yeah, he didn't want to swim over 692 00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:13.159 there. He was sent over there on a mission by the guy, and 693 00:53:14.280 --> 00:53:22.280 he didn't want to swim, so he just straight up pulled this. This 694 00:53:22.280 --> 00:53:28.159 This moved you. Man moved him somewhere. It moved him somewhere. Some 695 00:53:28.920 --> 00:53:31.800 dude. The guy was so he was he hide in a box. Hercules 696 00:53:31.880 --> 00:53:38.199 to come back, and he'd get into a brass box and hide like dang, 697 00:53:38.280 --> 00:53:42.679 dude, Wow, this is just so funny. I just can't imagine 698 00:53:42.679 --> 00:53:45.639 a solid gold seahorse with the rims. You're stuck on that rims. No, 699 00:53:46.199 --> 00:53:50.119 okay, wait, but you got to understand it is a horse. 700 00:53:50.719 --> 00:53:53.119 A horse, we get it, that came out of the ocean, not 701 00:53:53.559 --> 00:54:00.239 a seahorse like the seahorse animal. Oh, it's like a horse that as 702 00:54:00.280 --> 00:54:02.760 like gills and and scales and stuff. I mean, if that's how you 703 00:54:02.800 --> 00:54:07.079 imagine it, you know, that's how it's explained. Yeah, it's a 704 00:54:07.079 --> 00:54:13.760 book anything convertible. Yeah. Yeah, you can put the top down on 705 00:54:13.800 --> 00:54:17.519 that ship, yeah yeah. And then yeah, so he got to ride 706 00:54:17.519 --> 00:54:21.960 around on that horse. That was pretty cool. But the gods, the 707 00:54:22.039 --> 00:54:25.960 lesser gods also helped him a lot. When he was going to fight the 708 00:54:24.920 --> 00:54:35.280 u the hydrid they like left like what Achilles gave some arrows. Ah, 709 00:54:36.880 --> 00:54:44.159 Hermes gave something the chariot right something, So he was like decked out and 710 00:54:44.280 --> 00:54:50.159 like god stuff. He was wearing the skin of this lion like that would 711 00:54:50.199 --> 00:54:53.719 protect against like cuts and stuff. Is shocking because and all this time that 712 00:54:53.760 --> 00:54:58.519 you've talked about Hercules, there's one key element you haven't mentioned once. What's 713 00:54:58.559 --> 00:55:02.960 that his strength? I feel like that's implied, but you know, I 714 00:55:04.000 --> 00:55:07.840 was, dude, he threw a centaur to space. Yeah, but I 715 00:55:07.880 --> 00:55:12.000 was kind of hoping you would go into like why is he strong? Well, 716 00:55:12.000 --> 00:55:15.360 he's just the son is Zeus, Like you just straight up they all 717 00:55:15.400 --> 00:55:19.079 strong like that prove why is he? Well, they're not all as strong 718 00:55:19.199 --> 00:55:22.840 as Hercules. And I think it's probably because, like Hercules actually tried. 719 00:55:23.679 --> 00:55:29.039 It's like Freezer like for his whole race, Like they're all strong, but 720 00:55:29.199 --> 00:55:34.400 Freezers the one because he tries well. Kyron was his sports tutor, like 721 00:55:34.480 --> 00:55:37.360 he had been training sports. I was kind of hoping there would be some 722 00:55:37.639 --> 00:55:44.360 like spec special magical reasons. I had a glitch there. I was hoping 723 00:55:44.360 --> 00:55:47.880 there'd be some special, freaking precise reason why he had a strength. I 724 00:55:47.960 --> 00:55:52.079 kind of think that it's like I don't know. I think it's supposed to 725 00:55:52.079 --> 00:55:54.400 be like a motivational tale, like your everybody's made in the image of God. 726 00:55:54.480 --> 00:55:59.960 You can be like Hercules, like you, you can reach this potential. 727 00:56:00.559 --> 00:56:04.639 Now we're onto something. That's what I think, honestly. Yeah, 728 00:56:05.199 --> 00:56:10.159 And like you know, but being smart and winning battles with wit is just 729 00:56:10.280 --> 00:56:15.559 as important, Like you cannot be just all muscle. Yeah, like you 730 00:56:15.679 --> 00:56:19.039 have to understand, you have to know your enemy, you have to know 731 00:56:19.239 --> 00:56:22.639 what you're doing, like you, he won everything with wit, you know. 732 00:56:22.679 --> 00:56:25.400 I mean, it could certainly help that he could throw a centaur space. 733 00:56:27.400 --> 00:56:30.519 I'm not going to avoid that, you know, as a positive, 734 00:56:30.599 --> 00:56:32.840 that would be nice. Yeah, I mean if if I just like somebody 735 00:56:32.960 --> 00:56:36.400 got on my nerves mad enough, if I could throw him to space, 736 00:56:36.480 --> 00:56:40.239 dude. But really, really, he put his buddy out of his misery. 737 00:56:40.280 --> 00:56:46.039 He felt so bad that he had poisoned this immortal being like you, 738 00:56:46.239 --> 00:56:50.079 he can't die. He's just in pain the rest of his life, and 739 00:56:50.079 --> 00:56:53.920 he's like kill me. You know, probably would have passed in a day 740 00:56:54.000 --> 00:56:58.159 or two. But Hercules was just like nah, no, no, Kiren 741 00:56:58.320 --> 00:57:00.039 is begging him to kill him. Yeah, he was like please, you're 742 00:57:00.119 --> 00:57:02.800 the son of Zeus, like do something, and he was like okay, 743 00:57:04.920 --> 00:57:07.440 said a little prayer, and then threw him into space and he was like, 744 00:57:07.519 --> 00:57:10.719 yeah, he's gonna become a constellation for his race to idolize and like 745 00:57:10.840 --> 00:57:17.320 have there every night forever. And then Kyron's brother ended up being the reason, 746 00:57:17.679 --> 00:57:21.440 the reason that he died kind of. But it was also a woman. 747 00:57:21.639 --> 00:57:24.440 It's like girls have just been ruining this dude's life since the beginning. 748 00:57:24.559 --> 00:57:30.599 I mean, this is what it is. It's just it's the way it 749 00:57:30.719 --> 00:57:36.320 is, man Like. It's the curly hair. Bro, It's the Disney 750 00:57:36.320 --> 00:57:38.199 movie version of Hercules with the curly hair. They see that. It ain't 751 00:57:38.199 --> 00:57:43.000 even the muscles. Bro. Oh you're saying it makes it makes the lady's 752 00:57:43.079 --> 00:57:45.719 trip. Oh yeah, Man, he didn't have a he didn't have a 753 00:57:45.719 --> 00:57:49.199 beard in the Disney movie, did he. No, Yeah, he had 754 00:57:49.239 --> 00:57:52.639 a straight up big beard. Yeah, he had no beard in the Disney 755 00:57:52.679 --> 00:57:58.360 He was clean faced as hell with a tiny little chin, the tiniest chin, 756 00:57:58.519 --> 00:58:00.639 that's true. Tiny kind of a tiny dude for a little bit there. 757 00:58:00.760 --> 00:58:05.719 Yeah, for a minute, he was a little Yeah. So moving 758 00:58:05.719 --> 00:58:08.239 on to the story of Osiris, Isis and Horus. This is one of 759 00:58:08.280 --> 00:58:13.280 my very favorite myths. From Geb the earth god and Nut the sky goddess, 760 00:58:13.280 --> 00:58:16.320 came four children, Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nephthis. Osiris 761 00:58:16.400 --> 00:58:19.880 was the oldest and so became the king of Egypt, and he married his 762 00:58:19.920 --> 00:58:24.400 sister iris Isis sorry. Osiris was a good king and commanded the respect of 763 00:58:24.400 --> 00:58:28.280 all who lived on the earth and the gods who dwelt in the nether world. 764 00:58:28.519 --> 00:58:31.400 However, Set was always jealous of Osiris because he did not command the 765 00:58:31.440 --> 00:58:35.840 respect of those on earth and those in the nether world. One day, 766 00:58:35.880 --> 00:58:39.800 Set transformed himself into a vicious monster. I believe it was Apophus, the 767 00:58:39.880 --> 00:58:45.119 dragon of darkness, attacked Osiris and killed him, cut him up into fourteen 768 00:58:45.159 --> 00:58:51.719 pieces, distributed his body all over the Nile River. When he died, 769 00:58:51.880 --> 00:58:59.400 Set became the king of Egypt. His sister his wife, and queen Nephthis 770 00:58:59.400 --> 00:59:05.880 felt sorry for her sister Isis, who mourned and wept over Osiris. Isis 771 00:59:05.920 --> 00:59:09.480 had this great magical power and decides to find the pieces of her husband and 772 00:59:09.800 --> 00:59:15.639 use her magic to bring him back to the dead. Together with nepthis Isis 773 00:59:15.719 --> 00:59:19.079 roam the countree. I'm sorry, the text is really small, and I'm 774 00:59:19.119 --> 00:59:22.320 my glass. I'm collecting the pieces of her husband's body and reassembling them. 775 00:59:22.599 --> 00:59:25.800 Then she uses her magic breathes life into him and resurrects him from the dead. 776 00:59:27.360 --> 00:59:31.119 And then when Cyrus and Isis are together, Isis becomes pregnant and she 777 00:59:31.199 --> 00:59:36.280 gives birth to Horace. He becomes the Lord of the Underworld. And then 778 00:59:36.400 --> 00:59:39.079 Horace is born and he becomes the King of Egypt, which I guess you 779 00:59:39.119 --> 00:59:45.119 know, King of the world. The children born to Isis was named Horaus, 780 00:59:45.199 --> 00:59:49.320 the hawk God. As he becomes an adult, he decides to make 781 00:59:49.360 --> 00:59:52.000 a case before the Court of Gods that he, not Set, is the 782 00:59:52.039 --> 00:59:57.199 rightful king of Egypt. A long period of arguments followed. Set challenges Horace 783 00:59:57.239 --> 01:00:00.639 to a contest where the winner would become the king. Set doesn't play fair. 784 01:00:01.159 --> 01:00:07.840 After several matches, he cheats Was the victor. Horace's mother, Isis 785 01:00:07.880 --> 01:00:12.639 decides to help her son set a trap for Set, so she snares him, 786 01:00:12.639 --> 01:00:14.679 but Set begs for his life and Isis let him go. When he 787 01:00:14.679 --> 01:00:16.360 found out that she had let his enemy live, Horace became angry with his 788 01:00:16.400 --> 01:00:20.559 mom rages against her. He earns the contempt of all the other gods, 789 01:00:20.599 --> 01:00:22.880 and they decide that there would be one more match, and Set would get 790 01:00:22.880 --> 01:00:25.760 to choose what it will be. He decides that the final round of the 791 01:00:25.760 --> 01:00:29.599 contest will be a boat race. However, in order to make the contest 792 01:00:29.599 --> 01:00:32.199 a challenge, Set decides that he and Horace should race boats made of stone. 793 01:00:32.800 --> 01:00:36.719 Horace, is tricky, builds a boat made of wood covered with limestone 794 01:00:36.760 --> 01:00:39.360 plaster, which looked like stone. As the gods a symbol for the race, 795 01:00:39.400 --> 01:00:45.400 Set cut the top off of a mountain wow to serve as his boat 796 01:00:45.480 --> 01:00:47.199 and set it in the water. His boat sinks right away, and all 797 01:00:47.239 --> 01:00:51.880 the other gods laughed at him. Angry, Set transforms himself into a hippopotamus 798 01:00:51.920 --> 01:00:54.639 and attacks Horace's boat. Horace fights off Set, but the other gods stopped 799 01:00:54.679 --> 01:00:59.280 him before he could kill Set. The other gods decide that the match was 800 01:00:59.320 --> 01:01:01.280 a tie. Many of the other gods were sympathetic to Horace, but remembered 801 01:01:01.280 --> 01:01:05.000 his anger towards his mother for being lenient to Set, and were unwilling to 802 01:01:05.000 --> 01:01:07.639 support him completely. The gods who formed the court decided to write a letter 803 01:01:07.639 --> 01:01:12.559 to Osirius and ask for his advice. Osiris responds that his son is the 804 01:01:12.639 --> 01:01:15.360 rightful king and will be placed upon the throne. No one said Osiris should 805 01:01:15.360 --> 01:01:19.559 take the throne of Egypt through an active murder, as set had done, 806 01:01:19.679 --> 01:01:22.679 had killed Osiris, but Horaus hadn't killed anyone and was the better candidate. 807 01:01:22.000 --> 01:01:25.960 The son and the stars, who were Osiris's allies, descended into the underworld, 808 01:01:27.039 --> 01:01:30.360 leaving the world in darkness. Finally, the gods agreed the Horus will 809 01:01:30.360 --> 01:01:34.800 claim his birthright as the king of Egypt. So there's a few things here. 810 01:01:35.679 --> 01:01:39.920 Osiris was a solar deity. He's depicted as like mummified green skin, 811 01:01:40.519 --> 01:01:45.239 you know, in a tomb, sarcophagus, mummified all that stuff, and 812 01:01:45.320 --> 01:01:47.000 he's the lord of the underworld. But before that depiction, he was a 813 01:01:47.000 --> 01:01:52.760 solar entity. And then his son Horace in the uh well, when he 814 01:01:52.840 --> 01:01:57.719 comes around, he's like syncretized with Osiris. They're like one. They're like 815 01:01:57.719 --> 01:02:00.440 a father and child dud kind of like God and Jesus. Was Horace depicted 816 01:02:00.480 --> 01:02:07.320 as like a bird okay, and was set like the alligator guy normally or 817 01:02:07.400 --> 01:02:09.559 no, I don't know if he was an alligator, but he turns into 818 01:02:09.679 --> 01:02:14.440 a pophas, the dragon of darkness. Right, so, right off the 819 01:02:14.559 --> 01:02:19.719 rip here we have this allegory of the eternal war of dominion between the light 820 01:02:19.800 --> 01:02:22.880 and the dark. You know, the sun rises each day and then it 821 01:02:22.920 --> 01:02:24.639 has its period, and then it sets, and then the darkness rises. 822 01:02:25.320 --> 01:02:30.960 The sun goes into the underworld. It sets, yes, the sun rises, 823 01:02:31.000 --> 01:02:35.760 and then it descends into the underworld, and the darkness rises Apophus the 824 01:02:35.800 --> 01:02:39.280 serpent that brings the darkness, but then it descends because Horace rises, you 825 01:02:39.320 --> 01:02:44.519 know, into the throne. It's this eternal battle. Another cool thing is 826 01:02:44.559 --> 01:02:52.159 that the word Satan actually supposedly comes from Set because the Persians said Chitan, 827 01:02:52.880 --> 01:03:00.400 which scholars believe could be linked to the Egyptian version of Set. That they 828 01:03:01.079 --> 01:03:07.559 referenced that deity as Chaitan, which is etymologically where the word Satan may have 829 01:03:07.639 --> 01:03:12.079 come from over time. But very cool. But what what do y'all? 830 01:03:12.760 --> 01:03:17.960 What's y'all's takeaway? I like the whole thing about how like Horace is the 831 01:03:19.119 --> 01:03:24.920 true leader of Egypt because he didn't like murder and he didn't like stoop to 832 01:03:24.960 --> 01:03:30.960 the lowest lows to try to to he wasn't. He wasn't after claiming the 833 01:03:30.039 --> 01:03:34.880 throne for like ultimate power or whatever. He was just trying to honor his 834 01:03:34.920 --> 01:03:38.000 father kind of thing, and like defeat the darkness. And and yeah, 835 01:03:38.079 --> 01:03:43.119 sure he might have made a janky boat with with limestone lining or whatever. 836 01:03:43.400 --> 01:03:46.280 He ain't right, right, right, But I don't think that's the moral. 837 01:03:47.039 --> 01:03:51.639 But he didn't. He he didn't stoop to the lows that Set was 838 01:03:51.679 --> 01:03:55.039 willing to stoop to. He didn't like give in to the ultimate darkness. 839 01:03:55.119 --> 01:03:59.800 He didn't cut him into fourteen pieces, right, and Set did. And 840 01:03:59.559 --> 01:04:03.679 and so ultimately I feel like the moral is like to do it the right 841 01:04:03.679 --> 01:04:10.440 way, like to achieve if glory is your goal, do it the right 842 01:04:10.480 --> 01:04:14.440 way, like, because what is glory if you gained it through darkness? 843 01:04:14.760 --> 01:04:16.440 Right? You know? Yeah, I agree with that. And then another 844 01:04:16.440 --> 01:04:21.320 cool element of the story, which obviously wasn't said in that little like pop 845 01:04:21.400 --> 01:04:26.679 version of the myth. And we have talked about this before, probably like 846 01:04:27.639 --> 01:04:30.639 over one hundred episodes ago. But the cool part is like the Obelisk of 847 01:04:30.679 --> 01:04:34.760 Egypt actually comes from this story because the idea is that the fourteenth piece of 848 01:04:34.760 --> 01:04:41.159 Osiris as is wiener I was going to say it more gently, but his 849 01:04:41.400 --> 01:04:47.280 member. I think Wiener's plenty gentle. Yes, Wiener, it's pretty gentle. 850 01:04:47.960 --> 01:04:51.960 I was going to say, Phallis, that's less gentle. Do you 851 01:04:51.960 --> 01:05:00.199 remember that I watched that episode to day. I can't believe you. It's 852 01:05:00.239 --> 01:05:02.840 the of the Office. It's the one you're talking about the Office, dude, 853 01:05:02.920 --> 01:05:06.519 No, no, Phyllis and Fallis. No we said that on the 854 01:05:06.519 --> 01:05:12.000 podcast. Oh oh yeah, yeah, I was talking about the Office. 855 01:05:12.159 --> 01:05:15.400 Do you remember the episode where Phyllis gets flashed. Yeah? Yeah, Well 856 01:05:15.559 --> 01:05:20.679 Dwight is like talking to everybody and he's referencing Phyllis and he accidentally says foul 857 01:05:21.079 --> 01:05:24.639 the guys like parking lot, yes, and he goes, sorry, I've 858 01:05:24.679 --> 01:05:29.800 got penis on the brain. That's literally how I was sitting here thinking that 859 01:05:29.880 --> 01:05:32.159 you were going back and watching throw it back. No, no, no, 860 01:05:32.360 --> 01:05:34.159 but I do remember that. That's why I was like, wow, 861 01:05:34.480 --> 01:05:38.760 you saw that today. It's probably like over one hundred episodes. No, 862 01:05:38.639 --> 01:05:41.760 no, no, but I remember that now. Wow. Yeah, but 863 01:05:41.800 --> 01:05:44.079 that's super cool. And that's where the obelisk comes from. And she uses 864 01:05:44.079 --> 01:05:48.559 her magical power and she restores it into gold and it esoterically represents like the 865 01:05:48.760 --> 01:05:55.280 generative power of the masculine forces of the universe, but also the feminine using 866 01:05:55.280 --> 01:05:58.559 the magic to heal it and restore it. Yeah, you know, talk 867 01:05:58.599 --> 01:06:02.880 about lead to gold, baby, Yeah, baby, talking about dead to 868 01:06:02.960 --> 01:06:09.639 gold something. But you know that's what I make that deal. I bet 869 01:06:09.760 --> 01:06:15.559 you would. Yeah, go never mind never you just watch him censor himself 870 01:06:15.559 --> 01:06:20.840 in real time. I'm just concerned, why is everybody's mom getting in the 871 01:06:20.880 --> 01:06:27.440 mix and kind of mucking it up here, like across across all these myths. 872 01:06:28.920 --> 01:06:33.360 What's the deal with that? Sometimes mom suck? I guess that's the 873 01:06:33.400 --> 01:06:36.320 moral. I wouldn't go that far. I'm just like, there's gotta be 874 01:06:36.519 --> 01:06:42.840 something here. Yeah. Also, why they all be like marian man, 875 01:06:43.039 --> 01:06:45.519 Yeah, yeah, I think I just think you're dating pool is limited. 876 01:06:45.599 --> 01:06:48.320 Yeah that's yeah. I mean you're dealing with like a whole world and you 877 01:06:48.400 --> 01:06:51.760 got twelve people on it, you know what I mean. Yeah, it's 878 01:06:51.800 --> 01:06:59.159 a small town. Yeah, it's a small West Virginia the planet road time. 879 01:06:59.719 --> 01:07:02.639 When you think about it, man, like the significance of this myth 880 01:07:02.880 --> 01:07:08.480 or just like Egypt in general, like obelisks are everywhere. Dude, did 881 01:07:08.559 --> 01:07:13.360 y'all know that in every major city of the world there obelisk model. I 882 01:07:13.360 --> 01:07:16.199 saw the one in Rome. Every major city, Like when I say major 883 01:07:16.239 --> 01:07:20.840 city, I mean like Paris is to lift the lay lines thing. Yes, 884 01:07:21.360 --> 01:07:27.719 yeah, yes, really, yes, no way, yes, it's 885 01:07:27.760 --> 01:07:32.079 a lay lines thing. Yes. So they they built them right because there 886 01:07:32.079 --> 01:07:35.239 it's an obelisk at the top. So it goes from like square to point, 887 01:07:35.880 --> 01:07:45.480 so you have basically two lines. Sorry sorry, go ahead, sorry 888 01:07:45.760 --> 01:07:54.639 sorry, goes from square to point and well it's supposed to do so anyway, 889 01:07:55.920 --> 01:08:01.960 I'm sorry. So it's like a disper No. So they build the 890 01:08:03.280 --> 01:08:08.199 struggling with the words here. They build them so that they line up with 891 01:08:08.440 --> 01:08:12.960 these lay lines that apparently run across the earth, and they're pulled, they're 892 01:08:12.960 --> 01:08:17.279 put up so that they like put they transmit energy. They pull the lay 893 01:08:17.319 --> 01:08:23.359 lines above the ground where people are, so they basically like create a like 894 01:08:23.399 --> 01:08:29.239 an overpass of lay line energy so that you live underneath it. Because weird 895 01:08:29.279 --> 01:08:33.560 things happen in the lay lines. Whow. Doctor Robert Gilbert told my dad 896 01:08:33.560 --> 01:08:40.640 one time that's how I knew about the obelisks in the US, the major 897 01:08:40.640 --> 01:08:44.880 cities. Yeah, and he said that there's something about the geometry and the 898 01:08:44.880 --> 01:08:49.159 shape of obelisks that they transmit energy. So obviously someone in the know, 899 01:08:49.520 --> 01:08:55.279 I mean, we know that there's like this elite group of people in power 900 01:08:55.319 --> 01:08:58.920 throughout the world who have this ancient occult knowledge and they understand the significance of 901 01:08:58.960 --> 01:09:03.399 it. And dude, like we know, Freemasons are aware of like how 902 01:09:03.600 --> 01:09:08.600 energy transmits through certain geometric shapes. Yeah, you know, like it's a 903 01:09:08.600 --> 01:09:13.479 big part of freemasonry. Yeah, and like how they design cathedrals and temples 904 01:09:13.560 --> 01:09:18.520 and stuff like that for energy to accumulate in certain parts of the building and 905 01:09:18.640 --> 01:09:24.680 eastward facing uh what do you call it? Altars and all this knowledge that 906 01:09:24.720 --> 01:09:28.600 we are not aware of, you know. And the idea is that they 907 01:09:28.680 --> 01:09:34.119 are creating a power grid around the world with these obelisks. Whoa, that's 908 01:09:34.159 --> 01:09:38.800 so wide. A lot of graveyards have obelisks too. Yeah, even a 909 01:09:38.800 --> 01:09:44.880 lot of tombstones are obelisks. And I thought it was weird when we got 910 01:09:44.920 --> 01:09:53.000 that thing for the house, the mesh and they transmit the signal. Yeah, 911 01:09:53.039 --> 01:09:55.840 you know, it's probably benign, you know, I mean, I 912 01:09:55.880 --> 01:09:59.560 don't know, it's pretty interesting. It is interesting. It is pretty interesting. 913 01:09:59.840 --> 01:10:00.840 That. It's a cool myth. There's a there's a lot beneath the 914 01:10:00.880 --> 01:10:04.159 surface with it, you know, But that's a cool one. Yeah, 915 01:10:04.399 --> 01:10:10.359 I like it. All right, I'll do another one if you if you 916 01:10:10.520 --> 01:10:12.760 insist, we got time for one more. Let's run it, all right? 917 01:10:12.800 --> 01:10:17.159 Cool, let's do y'all want Theseus and the Minotaur or the myth of 918 01:10:17.239 --> 01:10:23.720 Sisyphus Sisyphis, Sisyphis it is? Are you familiar? No? No, 919 01:10:24.119 --> 01:10:27.319 Sisyphis is a really cool one. It's pretty, it's pretty wide. Was 920 01:10:27.359 --> 01:10:30.920 Sisyphis like a titan? No? No, I don't know. I don't 921 01:10:30.920 --> 01:10:36.960 think so watch I'm gonna read this sounds familiar though reading earlier, we should 922 01:10:38.000 --> 01:10:42.600 have done Prometheus and the Fire. Yeah, yeah, it's actually I know 923 01:10:43.239 --> 01:10:46.119 that was in my book, right. The only reason I didn't do Prometheus 924 01:10:46.239 --> 01:10:49.239 is because we've talked about it a couple of times. On the Lighthouse Lighthouse 925 01:10:49.239 --> 01:10:57.680 episode, Hercules came across Prometheus. What was that encounter? Like? Uh, 926 01:10:57.720 --> 01:11:00.359 he basically just walked on him one day, chain up with the hawks 927 01:11:00.399 --> 01:11:04.920 eating his liver. He oh yeah, yeah, Hercules rolled up. So 928 01:11:05.000 --> 01:11:08.800 Hercules rolled up and is like, what's up, dude? And He's like 929 01:11:08.840 --> 01:11:12.319 oh, you know, just here for eternity watching these hawks eat my liver. 930 01:11:12.399 --> 01:11:15.520 And he was like, okay, well he like jumped up and grabbed 931 01:11:15.520 --> 01:11:17.920 all the hawks, put him in a bag and beat them to death. 932 01:11:18.479 --> 01:11:24.359 Hercules did. And then Hercules just snapped the chains that he was chained to 933 01:11:24.399 --> 01:11:27.079 the rock with and was like, all right, see you later. Yeah, 934 01:11:27.119 --> 01:11:29.560 that's one thing before we get into this one. That's one thing I 935 01:11:29.560 --> 01:11:31.640 love about the Greek myth is it's it's kind of like it's kind of like 936 01:11:31.720 --> 01:11:38.479 Marvel, right, Like there's this overarching primordial lore, but then there's like 937 01:11:38.560 --> 01:11:45.399 this cinematic universe where like Hercules walking through oh shit, it's uh yeah, 938 01:11:45.399 --> 01:11:47.359 I remember your story, you know, and they're like in each other's stories. 939 01:11:47.399 --> 01:11:50.640 It's kind of a crossover episodes. Well, well, the whole myth 940 01:11:50.680 --> 01:11:56.920 of Theseus and the Minotaur takes place in the labyrinth, and the story of 941 01:11:57.199 --> 01:12:01.319 Icarus starts in the labyrinth. They are building the labyrinth. They're building and 942 01:12:01.359 --> 01:12:08.520 they use and then whoever it was Theseus, I think, who who hired 943 01:12:08.560 --> 01:12:13.399 them to make the labyrinth he locks them in it and they're like, how 944 01:12:13.399 --> 01:12:15.680 do we get out of here? And then they make the wings with the 945 01:12:15.720 --> 01:12:17.960 wax, and we know the rest it gris flies too close to the sun. 946 01:12:18.159 --> 01:12:26.079 Yeah, okay, Sisyphis, all right, Once upon a time Corinth 947 01:12:26.359 --> 01:12:32.880 was a very strong Greek city state Corinthians. It makes sense, the remains 948 01:12:32.880 --> 01:12:35.079 of which can be found to this day. Dude, I'm mind blown. 949 01:12:35.720 --> 01:12:40.560 Yeah, that's where Corinthians comes from. The city of Corinth it is. 950 01:12:40.920 --> 01:12:43.640 I think there's like a there's a bunch of there's all kinds of Greek stuff 951 01:12:43.680 --> 01:12:46.399 in the Bible, oh for sure. Some sources refer to the Great City 952 01:12:46.479 --> 01:12:51.640 of Ephirah as the city founded by Sisyphis, which was later named Corinth. 953 01:12:53.159 --> 01:12:58.680 Others say that the witch Media or Medea we love those movies gave Corinth to 954 01:12:58.720 --> 01:13:04.239 Sisyphus, who became it's king. One day, Osophos's daughter Aegina who had 955 01:13:04.239 --> 01:13:09.359 been adducted or had been adducted by Zeus, and when a Sophos asked if 956 01:13:09.399 --> 01:13:15.720 Sisyphus had seen anything, Sisyphus mentioned that he saw Zeus fly over with Aegina. 957 01:13:15.439 --> 01:13:20.079 Ooh, the dramas for real. When Zeus heard that, he got 958 01:13:20.119 --> 01:13:25.239 angry that he was betrayed by a mortal. So the king of the gods 959 01:13:25.279 --> 01:13:31.119 sent Death to take Sisyphus's life. However, when Death came to chain Sisyphus, 960 01:13:31.359 --> 01:13:36.199 the latter asked Death a demonstration of how the chains work, and then 961 01:13:36.319 --> 01:13:44.880 deceived Death and chained Death instead. The imprisonment of Death meant that he could 962 01:13:44.880 --> 01:13:49.680 not come for any human, and people stopped dying altogether. The gods, 963 01:13:49.680 --> 01:13:53.960 in response, sent Aris, the god of war, to free Death. 964 01:13:54.680 --> 01:13:59.119 This time, Death took Sisyphis in his chains and led him to the world 965 01:13:59.199 --> 01:14:02.479 of the dead, the un world kingdom of Hades. However, before he 966 01:14:02.520 --> 01:14:09.399 died, Sisyphus asked his wife Muropi not to bury him properly by neglecting to 967 01:14:09.399 --> 01:14:13.920 put a coin in his mouth. This way, he could not pay car 968 01:14:14.000 --> 01:14:16.680 on the faery man to cross the River Styx, because you know, that's 969 01:14:16.680 --> 01:14:19.319 why they put the coin. They would either put it on the eyes or 970 01:14:19.359 --> 01:14:24.159 in the mouth to pay the ferryman so that they could get to the to 971 01:14:24.199 --> 01:14:28.479 cross the river sticks. Rather, the lack of a proper burial disturbed Hades 972 01:14:28.600 --> 01:14:33.920 so much that he sent Sissyphis back to the living. Thus Sisyphus managed to 973 01:14:34.000 --> 01:14:39.239 escape death once more. When the gods finally managed to catch Sisyphis again. 974 01:14:39.319 --> 01:14:44.840 They decided that his punishment should last forever. They made him immortal. They 975 01:14:44.840 --> 01:14:48.920 made him push a rock up a mountain. Every time the rock would reach 976 01:14:49.000 --> 01:14:54.600 the top, it would roll down again and Sisyphus would have to start all 977 01:14:54.800 --> 01:14:59.159 over for the rest of eternity. So what exactly is it that he's being 978 01:14:59.199 --> 01:15:01.960 punished for for death? Well, a few things. Yeah, he cheated 979 01:15:02.000 --> 01:15:08.199 death. He also like imprisoned death. And then he also lied to Zeus, 980 01:15:09.520 --> 01:15:12.039 you know he and you don't do that. You won't do that, 981 01:15:12.159 --> 01:15:16.359 you won't do that. Zeus is a wrathful god. He is a spiteful, 982 01:15:16.479 --> 01:15:21.279 wrathful if you cross him in any way, Unles, Yeah, oh 983 01:15:21.359 --> 01:15:26.560 yeah, he's very forgiving to most of his children. Yeah, Zeus is 984 01:15:26.560 --> 01:15:30.760 like Tony Soprano and his dad. Man. That's that's the vibes I get 985 01:15:30.800 --> 01:15:35.560 from him. So so basically, the every time you see Sissyphus depicted, 986 01:15:36.000 --> 01:15:44.119 it's like this super buff like Greek figure pushing this massive boulder up a mountain. 987 01:15:44.359 --> 01:15:46.159 But that's not to be confused with Atlas. No, no, who 988 01:15:46.159 --> 01:15:49.880 had the weight of the world on his shoulders. No, No, Sisyphus 989 01:15:50.399 --> 01:15:57.159 rolled this massive boulder and and like he didn't have like absurd strength like Hercules, 990 01:15:57.600 --> 01:16:00.399 Like he was a normal dude. So for the most part, Yeah, 991 01:16:00.479 --> 01:16:03.039 yeah, Hercules took Atlas's place for a couple of days. Of course, 992 01:16:03.079 --> 01:16:08.960 he did Hercules, then so did Superman. Yeah it's true. Yeah, 993 01:16:09.640 --> 01:16:12.760 it's true. He took it for a day and then Atlas didn't want 994 01:16:12.760 --> 01:16:15.640 to give it back and he had to essentially trick Atlas into taking the world 995 01:16:15.720 --> 01:16:18.560 back or the heavens back on his shoulders. Yeah. See, and the 996 01:16:18.560 --> 01:16:23.279 Superman version is different. He came and he took it back. Mm hmm. 997 01:16:24.000 --> 01:16:27.279 Right, and that's the real Yeah, that's the real lore. We 998 01:16:27.319 --> 01:16:30.159 all know that the Superman is the real one. Yeah, I'll have to 999 01:16:30.199 --> 01:16:33.399 read that book next. But yeah, every time you see Sissfis, he's 1000 01:16:33.439 --> 01:16:38.119 depicted with pushing this massive boulder up a hill and every time it gets to 1001 01:16:38.159 --> 01:16:41.399 the top, it rolls back down. They really have creative ways of like 1002 01:16:41.520 --> 01:16:45.359 coming up with eternal punishment. Yeah, they do. My I don't know, 1003 01:16:45.399 --> 01:16:49.239 I mean, my my initial hot take on that is like all mortals 1004 01:16:50.399 --> 01:16:56.119 die and it's an eternal cycle. I mean it's like, maybe I'm reading 1005 01:16:56.119 --> 01:16:58.880 too much into this here, but like the boulder. You toil your whole 1006 01:16:58.920 --> 01:17:00.479 life. You push the boulder up the hill and then it rolls back down 1007 01:17:00.520 --> 01:17:05.199 and you know, it's just this unending cycle that goes over and over and 1008 01:17:05.239 --> 01:17:10.039 over. I could be way off, but no, that that makes sense 1009 01:17:10.039 --> 01:17:12.720 to me. This is gonna be pretty left field. But think about like 1010 01:17:12.880 --> 01:17:16.319 vampires who like and then like people. You know, they have their like 1011 01:17:16.359 --> 01:17:20.720 familiars who are desperate to become vampires because they want to live forever. But 1012 01:17:20.840 --> 01:17:27.159 then all vampires talk about how miserable it is right living forever because you see 1013 01:17:27.199 --> 01:17:30.880 everyone you love die and everything turns gray and everything that loses meaning and like 1014 01:17:31.319 --> 01:17:38.359 all this stuff. So it's like he cheated death, but his punishment was 1015 01:17:38.399 --> 01:17:42.159 to live forever. And oh you like to cheat death? Yeah, here 1016 01:17:42.199 --> 01:17:45.359 you go, right right, Yeah, you you want to live so bad? 1017 01:17:45.880 --> 01:17:49.319 Let's show you what you get, Like, let's let's show you what 1018 01:17:49.359 --> 01:17:53.760 that looks like. Like it's a it's a metaphor, I feel like for 1019 01:17:55.439 --> 01:17:58.800 yeah, for like you know you don't you shouldn't want to live forever, 1020 01:17:59.239 --> 01:18:02.560 like you shouldn't want to No, it loses all meaning, it becomes it 1021 01:18:02.600 --> 01:18:08.760 becomes a toil, right, you're essentially pushing, Like every time you push 1022 01:18:08.840 --> 01:18:12.399 that boulder up the mountain, that's one life. Yeah. Yeah, it's 1023 01:18:12.439 --> 01:18:16.319 like you're doing meaningless work for nothing. Well no, I just mean in 1024 01:18:16.359 --> 01:18:21.520 a sense that like your whole life is just everybody's life is just pushing the 1025 01:18:21.640 --> 01:18:26.479 envelope, pushing the boulder up the hill, like trudging on, continuing, 1026 01:18:26.640 --> 01:18:30.279 continuing. Then you get to the top, right, you will get to 1027 01:18:30.359 --> 01:18:33.119 the top of the mountain, and that's where you get Yeah, right, 1028 01:18:33.319 --> 01:18:40.039 cool, done with that boulder, right, No, his punishment is it's 1029 01:18:40.039 --> 01:18:43.199 like the boulder is like the burden of life. Yes, yeah, the 1030 01:18:43.199 --> 01:18:45.760 hardships that what I think. Yeah, like the hardships that we carry with 1031 01:18:45.840 --> 01:18:48.840 us, like the hard things about life. Toil your whole life and then 1032 01:18:48.880 --> 01:18:57.319 you die. Yeah wow, but that's true. Yeah, it's very nihilistic. 1033 01:18:57.880 --> 01:19:01.640 No, it's not that I'm nihilist. I don't think it's for nothing 1034 01:19:01.680 --> 01:19:05.760 though, because really, like we're mining gold, dude, Like we come 1035 01:19:05.800 --> 01:19:09.800 here. The rule of life. It even says it in the Bible, 1036 01:19:10.199 --> 01:19:15.039 like after Adam and Eve fell from the garden, mankind was cursed to toil 1037 01:19:16.279 --> 01:19:20.279 the soil to work, right, But I think that's a deeper metaphor, 1038 01:19:20.439 --> 01:19:27.079 like we come into this material world. We are fallible. We have hunger, 1039 01:19:27.359 --> 01:19:30.840 we have we need shelter, we need certain X y Z conditions to 1040 01:19:31.000 --> 01:19:35.600 just survive alive, yeah, to be alive, to not die. And 1041 01:19:35.600 --> 01:19:38.399 then we have to work, work, work, work, work to like 1042 01:19:38.600 --> 01:19:42.000 literally stay alive. And then on top of that, it's like, wait, 1043 01:19:42.199 --> 01:19:45.680 are we supposed to be like having some sort of profound spiritual revelation here? 1044 01:19:45.880 --> 01:19:48.159 Yeah, you know what I mean, it's not for nothing. We're 1045 01:19:48.199 --> 01:19:53.680 toiling, but like we're mining gold, dude. The gold is the you 1046 01:19:53.720 --> 01:19:58.720 know, the spiritual knowledge that we're supposed to achieve here, right, And 1047 01:19:58.720 --> 01:20:01.920 then going back to that in His image thing. You know what did God 1048 01:20:02.000 --> 01:20:08.000 do? God created? Yeah, seven days you were created, He worked, 1049 01:20:08.199 --> 01:20:12.039 and now we're created in his image. And like we are hardwired to 1050 01:20:12.199 --> 01:20:15.359 work, we're hardwired to build. Like if you're not working or building or 1051 01:20:15.560 --> 01:20:20.119 creating something, it's you're you're something's off. Now, look, it's the 1052 01:20:20.199 --> 01:20:28.000 natural state right here at BSS. We are not saying that you should be 1053 01:20:28.119 --> 01:20:30.920 doomed to go work at nine to five right your whole life. No, 1054 01:20:31.079 --> 01:20:33.560 that's not the point of this, that's not I don't think that's what God 1055 01:20:33.600 --> 01:20:39.880 intended. I think that the human mind thrives when we have goals to work 1056 01:20:39.960 --> 01:20:44.119 towards. Yeah, work could be working on yourself, right, working to 1057 01:20:44.159 --> 01:20:47.000 become a better person, not sitting around every day like doing nothing, not 1058 01:20:47.079 --> 01:20:51.000 trying to achieve anything in life. But you know, just just I mean, 1059 01:20:51.039 --> 01:20:56.039 it's it's like proven you know, psychology studies and everything, like when 1060 01:20:56.079 --> 01:21:00.159 you have something to achieve, whether it's oh, I'm a painter, but 1061 01:21:00.199 --> 01:21:01.800 I haven't painted in a while, get up and paint, you know good, 1062 01:21:02.039 --> 01:21:03.960 Or I want to practice an instrument, get up and do it. 1063 01:21:04.079 --> 01:21:08.720 Or if you are going after that promotion at you're nine to five too, 1064 01:21:08.920 --> 01:21:13.039 Right, anything's better than nothing. We have to work towards something, We 1065 01:21:13.119 --> 01:21:15.800 have to do something, We have to achieve something to evil make work, 1066 01:21:15.960 --> 01:21:19.720 makes work of vital hands, that's right. You know, two thousand years 1067 01:21:19.760 --> 01:21:25.600 ago you had artisans whose whole life was toiling, you know, with a 1068 01:21:25.680 --> 01:21:29.359 freaking loom making clothes or dude, and they were sorry to cut you off. 1069 01:21:29.399 --> 01:21:31.399 You know what I'm fired up about. I think apprenticeships need to come 1070 01:21:31.439 --> 01:21:34.600 back. Yes they do. Yeah, that's that's where the problem is here. 1071 01:21:34.760 --> 01:21:39.439 I mean, we need we need bakers, we need blacksmiths. We 1072 01:21:40.079 --> 01:21:44.800 still we need like actual like we need people. So in Italy they have 1073 01:21:45.039 --> 01:21:49.159 in Venice is the center of the world for like glass blowing and like like 1074 01:21:49.439 --> 01:21:55.800 artists and glass making, and like their chandeliers are thirty to ninety thousand dollars 1075 01:21:55.880 --> 01:22:00.279 because they're just so meticulous and they're having such an the only way you get 1076 01:22:00.279 --> 01:22:03.920 into that is an apprenticeship, like you have to go at like thirteen years 1077 01:22:03.920 --> 01:22:10.720 old and you begin the process of this like historic family business of glass making, 1078 01:22:11.079 --> 01:22:13.720 and no one there is interested in doing that at all, and so 1079 01:22:13.800 --> 01:22:17.680 the industry is just absolutely dying because they're having such a hard time getting young 1080 01:22:17.720 --> 01:22:25.239 people who are so infatuated with the West, getting them to embrace their traditional 1081 01:22:25.319 --> 01:22:30.960 values and go after these apprenticeships. But I think in all aspects of everything, 1082 01:22:30.000 --> 01:22:36.880 like all of these like ancient and absolutely nesess necessary necessary like trades, 1083 01:22:38.119 --> 01:22:42.880 like I mean it really, in my opinion, something has got to like 1084 01:22:43.000 --> 01:22:45.439 happen here as far as that goes. Dude, I agree, man. 1085 01:22:45.840 --> 01:22:49.560 When you were talking about the Hercules story in the beginning of the episode, 1086 01:22:49.600 --> 01:22:54.119 I was thinking in my head, like that's the freaking One of the problems 1087 01:22:54.119 --> 01:23:00.159 with America is like who has a mentor anymore? Yeah? Who? It 1088 01:23:00.159 --> 01:23:02.600 can change your life? Who's a disciple of some ancient art anymore? It's 1089 01:23:02.640 --> 01:23:06.279 extremely rare, yeah, dude. And like the America's version of that is 1090 01:23:06.319 --> 01:23:11.920 just unpaid interns. Yeah yeah, or like fast coffee, a manager that 1091 01:23:12.000 --> 01:23:14.119 you know you want to get on their good side and you know, be 1092 01:23:14.159 --> 01:23:17.640 promoted through the system. Dude. In Germany, the way there's thing works 1093 01:23:17.960 --> 01:23:24.800 is like you either go to university or you take the fast track to a 1094 01:23:24.840 --> 01:23:28.159 trade. And you get out of high school and oh, I'm either going 1095 01:23:28.159 --> 01:23:32.000 to university for some degree or I'm going to a trade and you start working 1096 01:23:32.039 --> 01:23:36.319 towards that trade when you're like sixteen, dude. I feel like even when 1097 01:23:36.359 --> 01:23:41.760 we were kids, it was a thing in America, Like I heard people 1098 01:23:41.800 --> 01:23:45.720 talk about that all the time. Like I heard when I was like sixteen 1099 01:23:45.800 --> 01:23:47.680 seventeen, it was like I heard it all the time, like you either 1100 01:23:47.680 --> 01:23:50.680 got to go to school or you got to get into some kind of trade. 1101 01:23:51.039 --> 01:23:55.439 You got and you don't hear that at all anymore, right at all? 1102 01:23:55.680 --> 01:23:59.640 You got to get into some and I think I think it still exists, 1103 01:24:00.159 --> 01:24:02.359 but like nowhere near on the scale that it used to. It's like 1104 01:24:02.399 --> 01:24:06.439 you have to you have to go find it. Yeah, I wish, 1105 01:24:06.520 --> 01:24:10.359 Mike. I mean, I'm not going to throw anybody under the bus here, 1106 01:24:10.399 --> 01:24:13.760 but I wish my counselor had done my high school counselor would have done 1107 01:24:13.760 --> 01:24:17.399 a little bit better job and kind of exploring my options outside of college because 1108 01:24:17.439 --> 01:24:20.760 I was dead set I'm not going to college. And I was like from 1109 01:24:21.359 --> 01:24:26.159 junior year of high school telling her I do not plan on doing this, 1110 01:24:26.239 --> 01:24:28.479 and she kind of was just like, okay, well let's just get you 1111 01:24:28.479 --> 01:24:31.720 through high school, like no future planning, nothing. I was like that 1112 01:24:31.800 --> 01:24:35.600 two hours. I guess I don't ever remember having like a meaningful conversation with 1113 01:24:35.640 --> 01:24:40.600 a high school guidance counselor. Dude, I don't think I even ever spoke 1114 01:24:40.720 --> 01:24:44.880 to a guidance counselor in school. Yeah, no, it was it was 1115 01:24:44.920 --> 01:24:47.920 just like what college you want to go to? You know here, apply 1116 01:24:48.039 --> 01:24:50.680 for this one, right, oh you need this. You can get class 1117 01:24:50.720 --> 01:24:54.920 grants or they graduate. Yeah. I mean I don't remember it ever being 1118 01:24:55.159 --> 01:24:58.119 but going back to the mentor thing, like, I mean, you know, 1119 01:24:58.439 --> 01:25:01.800 if I I would like immediately, and this is for the listener, 1120 01:25:02.159 --> 01:25:06.960 think of like who in your circle, and think of your circle, your 1121 01:25:08.000 --> 01:25:15.119 parents' circle, whatever is the most wealthy, the most influential, or like 1122 01:25:15.319 --> 01:25:18.920 means the most to you, and then just straight up go ask that person 1123 01:25:19.000 --> 01:25:23.319 will you mentor me in a sense that like can we just grab coffee once 1124 01:25:23.359 --> 01:25:26.119 a week and like can I just pick your brain? Like you will be 1125 01:25:26.159 --> 01:25:29.920 amazed. I mean, you just start surrounding yourself with people like this and 1126 01:25:30.039 --> 01:25:32.039 just learn from them, and if it becomes too much for both of you, 1127 01:25:32.079 --> 01:25:35.399 then then move on find somebody else, or if there's someone in your 1128 01:25:35.439 --> 01:25:42.000 work that you like really aspire or look up to, just straight up out 1129 01:25:42.039 --> 01:25:45.119 I mean you'll be amazed. I mean you know, like I've done it. 1130 01:25:45.119 --> 01:25:47.039 It's so awkward. It's like, you know, will you be my 1131 01:25:47.119 --> 01:25:50.119 mentor in a sense that like can I pick your brain from time to time? 1132 01:25:50.560 --> 01:25:54.880 And like I've never had anybody be like are you kidding me? No? 1133 01:25:55.359 --> 01:25:58.760 Yeah, you know that's how That's how my brother started his business which 1134 01:25:58.800 --> 01:26:01.399 is now like very sick, tessful. He supports his whole family and like 1135 01:26:01.439 --> 01:26:06.079 they live a very comfortable life and he literally started it because he just had 1136 01:26:06.479 --> 01:26:10.239 a couple of people that he looked up to that did it, and he 1137 01:26:10.800 --> 01:26:15.800 humbled himself and asked them to go to dinner and like was like I want 1138 01:26:15.840 --> 01:26:18.079 to do what you do, Like can I can I work with you some 1139 01:26:18.279 --> 01:26:23.880 and like learn how to do this, And like he's a few years later 1140 01:26:23.960 --> 01:26:29.119 he has a very successful business. It works. That's awesome. It does 1141 01:26:29.159 --> 01:26:32.520 work, Absolutely does work. I always had certain mentors and sales that I 1142 01:26:32.520 --> 01:26:35.479 would cling to that would, you know, teach me the inside tricks of 1143 01:26:35.520 --> 01:26:39.039 the trade and things like that. But I know that was like way out 1144 01:26:39.039 --> 01:26:41.039 of left field. But I totally agree, man Like, I think that 1145 01:26:41.119 --> 01:26:44.199 is one of the problems today. Man Like, nobody wants to really guide 1146 01:26:44.199 --> 01:26:46.560 anybody anymore, and in the system just ain't set up for that anyway. 1147 01:26:46.720 --> 01:26:51.520 It's not the system is a dreary place. We're set up to fail. 1148 01:26:53.600 --> 01:26:58.479 I mean, we're set up to toil for toil and the soil, but 1149 01:26:58.760 --> 01:27:01.359 it ain't told a soil is to a rent, yeah, and you know, 1150 01:27:01.960 --> 01:27:04.800 to rent.
