Erin is the Funny One - Bible Verse Or Power Metal Lyric

Episode Date: January 11, 2026

Jack and Erin read horror stories from a NYC dog walker with some very wealthy clients. Then they take yet another bespoke quiz, but this time they must decide if the passage is a bible verse or a pow...er metal lyric! What is "power metal" as opposed to the other metals? Who can say? Finally, they close the show with a riddling horoscope that will leave you (and them) puzzled. Happy December!!

Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome aboard via rail. Please sit and enjoy. Please sit and sip. Play. Post. Taste. View and enjoy. Via rail.
Starting point is 00:00:14 Love the way. Greetings, listeners of the Aaron is the Funny one podcast. I'm your gracious host, Jack. Jack Jingleberry? Is that you? Who the fuck is Jack Jingleberry? Have you been listening to yourself? I don't.
Starting point is 00:00:30 No way that character doesn't have a name like Jack Jingleberry. Which just so happens to rhyme with Jack Dingleberry. Why do you have to make everything so gross? Jack Jingleberry. Hi. Welcome to my podcast. And what a treat is to be on Aaron is the funny one yet again for the 60th time. Honey, we are officially in Christmas season now.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Do you hear that? The sleigh bells. I mean, Santa's on the roof. I wish to get off. I don't think it's reinforced. I also just want to say, okay. And this is like no hate to No hate myself, us, whatever.
Starting point is 00:01:05 But I was listening to the free version of our podcast. Uh-oh. Guys, I got to tell you, listen, I don't, I don't mean to like pump my stuff up or whatever, like, whatever. I don't mean to gloat, gloat, be braggadocious. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Guys, we cut out so much stuff from the, from the full recording. Because one of us really likes to talk. Yeah, oopsie.
Starting point is 00:01:28 He, like, I saw, like, the, these episodes that are going up, the free ones are like, sometimes. 30 minutes. Right. 40 minutes. Like, guys, we are recording for sometimes over two hours. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:01:41 Yes. I just feel the need to do this because I feel like, sorry, guys, y'all are missing out on quite a bit of, like, Aaron lore. Please, if you have the money, come hang out with me on Patreon. Like, you get so much more of, like, the actual story because sometimes I'm like, man, these people probably think I'm fucking crazy, which I'm, I am. But like, sometimes it's fun crazy and you guys aren't getting the full scope of it. So anyway, that's my my plug. I cannot believe I'm fucking plugging Jack film. I can't either.
Starting point is 00:02:14 You're playing it better than I could. But like, I got to tell you guys, I'm just like, I was sorely disappointed when I saw how short the free episodes are. And quite honestly, like, yeah, we got to make money somehow. So anyway. They're cutting the truth. drew me out is what you were thinking. Yes, kind of. That's kind of what I feel like. Like I'm like, wait, guys, I'm like way more fun than this. You just have to pay like a few dollars. Well, listen, Yappetron. Yeah. That was a lovely plug. But I do want to move on. We have a very active hotline, Dad Hug Me 10, and something that I've been meaning to bring up for a while. Longtime listeners, you may recall a semi-recent episode where we requested listeners to text in with
Starting point is 00:02:59 their odd jobs and interesting careers. And quite a few of you chimed in. We had a while ago, do you remember this, honey? Do you recall a New York City dog walker? Yes. Who has, Rich people stories. Walked, yes, the dogs of rich clients. Well, they have graciously sent in a couple of, I think, tantalizing, interesting stories of their dog walking days for the rich and famous in New York City. Would you like to hear some of these? These are select? Oh, my God. I also want to be very clear. Yes, we're going to read Dog Walker's texts, but this is not count as Career Day.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Career Day is we have a guest via Telephono, Phono, Fino, Fino, and that we interview them. Yes. So anyway, I just want to be very clear about that. But I like these. These are like just little curated tidbits. Tidbit sample sizes, you know? So this Dog Walker in New York City.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Yeah. How long ago was this? Well, when they sent this? No, like, when they were, Walking those dogs. Why'd you phrase it like that? When they were walking those dogs. Actually, I do.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Oh, no, I don't. Never mind. That's, I'm not sure I have. Like a time frame? A time frame for that. Okay, guys, this could have been 30 years ago for all we know. That's right. Story number one.
Starting point is 00:04:18 I'm going to read two stories. They sent in a bunch. I'm going to read two. We had a wealthy client family in Lower Manhattan that had a corgi who was known for biting people. Oh shit. Including members of the family. Damn.
Starting point is 00:04:32 That's like not good. I thought like that is like not good. God, they should have said a poet. You're so articulate sometimes, honey. You have such a way with words. That's like not good. That's like day.
Starting point is 00:04:46 I would never have the corgi in the hands of a dog walker. Like that's such a liability. What do you text back to these people? That's like not good. They like come. Okay, so just picture this though. I have a corgi. that is known to bite people, strangers and those that are familiar.
Starting point is 00:05:04 And so these people show up at my penthouse fucking apartment in Manhattan, obviously seeing how much money I make. And I'm going to go give them access to my dog that is a known biter when they know I'm rich as fuck. Like, no. I wouldn't, first off, from an ethics standpoint, I don't feel that comfortable with giving a dog that bites people to a stranger to walk in general. Like, now that's my problem. I need to walk the dog.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Well, wait, hold on. Wait till you hear the rest of the story because there might be a reason why the dog bites. There's always a reason a dog bites, Jack. Deep. Yeah. So, Corey, who was known for biting people, including members of the family. The first time I was to pick up their dog for a walk, I was told the dog would be tied to their chair because he would run away from walkers. and it would be easier to put his muzzle on.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Oh. I got into the house and the dog wasn't at the chair. I texted my manager and he said to check the closet because they sometimes also kept the dog in a crate in the closet with the door closed for most of the day. Oh my God. I checked the closet and sure enough, he was there in the dark under the shelves of laundry.
Starting point is 00:06:22 I felt bad for him because he was nice to me, if a little timid, and was mostly well-behaved on our walks. This was a massive four-bedroom apartment, so it's not like they didn't have the space for the crate to be outside the closet. My opinion, he likely has a biting problem because he wasn't socialized properly. And keeping him in a dark closet for periods of time doesn't help. Isn't that fucking, right? Isn't that tragic? Aaron's making the all face.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Oh, my God. Listeners, is that not heartbreaking? Keeping a dog in the dark for what most of the day? Kill me. And I don't, no hate on crazy. we crate our dogs. Like, no hate on crates. It's a very good training method.
Starting point is 00:07:03 Yeah, and for whatever it's worth, like our dogs actually like their crates. Like they very much enjoy them. Klondike sits in it when for funs. Oh, when she sees us getting ready for something, when she sees us put pants on for the first time in the day. She's like, oh, mom and dad are going somewhere fancy. Anyway, that is the dark thing, I think. Not awful. And like, and the fact that, like, you couldn't even put it by a window.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Yeah. So at least could, like, look at birds as it like. So, so sad. So fucking tragic. I also wonder what happened. Sunday's such a watchdog. I know. Sunday loves watching outside the window. Yeah, just looking out the window. Looking at nothing.
Starting point is 00:07:39 But like, do you know what I mean? Yeah. That's so sad. Not tragic? Did you know? Those people shouldn't have a dog. Those people shouldn't have a dog. If you're going to keep your dog in a fucking dark closet for most of the day,
Starting point is 00:07:50 what the fuck do you have a dog for? And corgis are not like, I don't think they're like low maintenance dogs. Yeah. Yeah, I wouldn't say so either. You don't? That's cruel. It's cruel. That's fucking cruel. Shame on you, rich family in lower Manhattan. I do like a corgi. You know who else liked corgis?
Starting point is 00:08:05 The Quinn. That's right, the Quinn. QE2. QE2 loved her corgis. I wonder who'd got the corgis after she died. Honey, you would have loved, you would have loved the space opera anime known as Cowboy Bebop. I doubt it. Because a corgi, a hyper-intelligent corgi, was a very key character in that show. Did he walk on four or two? Four. typically. Okay. My old boss used to have corgis. Yeah? Oh. Oh, that's it. Yeah, is it. Yeah. Okay. Sick. Yeah. I have another, I have one final story from our anonymous dog walker in New York City who has walked the dogs of the rich and famous. Have you ever interacted with a corgi? Like, I don't know that I've ever played with a corgi. I've seen them. That's a great question. I'm not sure if I have, honey. Like, I don't know much about the corgi as a dog. I think I may have seen one today on my run. I think. I think. I may have seen one today on my run. I think. I, I think. I
Starting point is 00:08:57 I feel like they're like, so I know they have like hip problems because the way their bodies are. I think so because they've got like weird shaped bodies. Poor guys. Um, so I think they're like prone to like have. Poor geese. Yeah. They're called poories. Um, I think they're prone to have like hip issues or something.
Starting point is 00:09:13 But, um. They do have the stubliest of legs. I feel like they're one of the breeds that like needs to be stimulated a lot. Yeah. Like mental stimulation. Gotcha. One of those. And like, oh my God.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Dude. Sorry. I can't get over the. fucking closet of it all. In a crate, in a dark closet. Especially for that, like breed type. Like, funny enough, I actually think, like, maybe like a Great Dane or something might be okay with that because I think Great Dains are pretty lazy dogs, I think.
Starting point is 00:09:41 I think. I think that's fair to say. I could be making that up, but I feel like every, but I know a few people that have Great Dains and they always talk about how they just lounge around. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But a Corgi, that's different. Yeah. I do, like, I would agree with you for, you know, as little as I know about Corgi's actually,
Starting point is 00:09:56 that they would seem like the breed that needs to be stimulated. Yeah, and also, sorry, not to make excuses for the closet in the dark. That's fucked up. Anyway, okay, keep going. Keep on. Okay. So writes in our anonymous dog walker. Last story, and the one that sticks with me.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Listen, I thought Career Day was going to be uplifting. Jesus Christ. This is sad. You've just totally ruined. Aaron is the sad one. Like, what the fuck, Jack? Why did you choose, what did you choose these stories? A fair warning.
Starting point is 00:10:24 It doesn't get happier. Oh my God. Like what the, no, guys, this is why I needed to make it very clear. This is not Aaron's career day, okay? This is Jack's career day. It's different, baby. Aaron's career day is going to be interesting. And is it going to be uplifting?
Starting point is 00:10:43 It's going to be interesting. I don't know if it uplifting is the term, but it'll be interesting to listen to. Whereas we're like, oh, I came across some puppies that had accidentally survived a draft. Like a purposeful drowning. The breeder wanted, couldn't sell them. So they drowned them in the fucking Hudson River. Like what the fuck? This is horrible.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Anyway, all right. Tell the rest of the story. And no more hotline for you, Jack. Hold on. If you're doing side tangents, I'm going to throw one in there. You ever see those old, old cartoons like cartoons clearly. Mr. Magoo?
Starting point is 00:11:18 I'm like, like Tom and Jerry. Yeah, Mr. McGreg. Like even earlier than that, like 40s, maybe 30s, 40s. There's, um, there's an image. The droopy dog? Oh, I love droopy dog. But that's not what I'm referencing. There's some cartoon where, like, it takes place in heaven or it opens in, like, heaven.
Starting point is 00:11:35 All dogs go to heaven. No, that's fucking 80s. Okay. Oh, my God. All right. Anyways. And it's like St. Peter.
Starting point is 00:11:41 All dogs go to heaven, too. That's it. That preceded the one of the 80s. Idiot. No, there's, like, some census taker in heaven, you know, and he's, like, tallying up all the souls coming in through the pearly gates, right? aka people who have like just died or whatever the fuck or animals who have just died. And so then it's so fucking dark.
Starting point is 00:12:02 But it's played as like happy, like the music is very like happy harps, you know, uplifting. It's a wet sack of kittens. What? Hopping through like meo, meow, meow. And the implication is that, you know, they had to get some human had to get rid of a sack of kittens. As a kid, I would not have picked up on that though. Right. Right, right, because you're like, oh, cute, there are kittens in heaven.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Sure, why not? And then you realize like, oh, no, that was like way down with rocks. Wow. Holy fuck. I swear to, I'm sure some listeners, maybe like three or four listeners, know what I'm talking about. It's just like, it's one of those old-ass cartoons. I don't know, I keep saying Tom and Jared because it was like clearly 40s. I don't fucking know.
Starting point is 00:12:45 I'm going to stop. Anyways, last story. And the one that sticks with me the most, we had a client request weekend walks for their dog three times a day on Saturday and Sunday. That is a lot. I mostly not only like three walks being a lot. That's a lot of money. Anyway, okay. I hope this walker was getting compensated accordingly. Well, what do you think? Okay, without knowing anything. And we don't have a dog walker. Right. So I don't know shit about shit. Yeah. All I know is that the last time we boarded our dogs, it was like 60 a night or something. Yeah. Per dog per night. That was a long time ago too. And that what, yeah, that was like probably
Starting point is 00:13:23 20 to 22 one. Oh, that recently? Okay. Yeah, because I think the last when we boarded them was when they got the dog flu. So, it was horrible. You're wondering, you're wondering how much you think? How much you think a walk would cost?
Starting point is 00:13:38 That's a terrific question. Like one walk. One walk? For one day. What do you think a walk should be? 30 minutes? An hour? Three walks per day.
Starting point is 00:13:46 I would say somewhere between 30 minutes to an hour. Okay. Maybe 30. I feel like an hour is a lot. Yeah? Imagine a court are you walking for a hour? hour. I don't know. So 90 minutes in total per day for walking
Starting point is 00:13:57 the dog. If it's three times a day, sure. Okay. Like 150? What would you, what would you say? I don't fucking know. Jack doesn't know the price of anything. Jack is like, how much could a banana cost? $10? Okay, so let me think. Oh, but it is New York. Taking New York, taking New York and Manhattan out of the future. And it's like the rich. Yeah, Manhattan specifically. I don't know, maybe like 20 bucks a walk. 20 bucks a walk. So 60 total for something like that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Okay. Yeah, you can rack up a decent chunk of change if you get enough dogs. All right. So they, to recap, they had a client request weekend walks for their dog three times a day on Saturday and Sunday. The Walker came in, gave the dog breakfast and dinner and never saw the owner even though they were home. This is pretty common as sometimes people will be working in their bedroom and we respect the boundary of wanting to be left alone. We got a call on a Monday morning from the Walker. Wait, who I thought we were talking to the Walker. Yeah, hold on. Maybe it's like a network. It's funny. I don't even know if it's a year or she, but I'm assuming that it's a she because obviously this person is kind enough to like animals and men are trashed. Men could never have the capacity. No.
Starting point is 00:15:05 So we're going to say she, even though I have no idea. But okay, so she is a manager now? It would seem so. Okay. She is now a manager of the walkers. Yeah, I think they have some capacity in a dog walking company, it would seem. Okay. So knowing that, we got a.
Starting point is 00:15:21 call on a Monday morning from the walker saying when she went to drop off the dog after the morning walk around 8 a.m. The apartment was surrounded by police. Embezzlement. She asked what was going on. Turns out, Aaron, the client had died in the apartment on Friday or Saturday morning. Ew, how did you not smell it? And no one noticed because the housekeeper only comes in during the week. It was the housekeeper who had found the body in bed and called the police.
Starting point is 00:15:56 We found out this information before any of the family members and we gave the police their emergency contact info so they could reach out to the family. Oh my fucking God. You found out through the dog Walker. So the dog?
Starting point is 00:16:08 It's absurd. Hold on it continues. Okay. The Walker volunteered to temporarily house the dog until they could find someone in the family to take them, which was incredibly kind.
Starting point is 00:16:18 But it still gives us, me chills that the walker was taking care of the dog while their owner was dead in the next room. Yeah. I'm way more okay with that story. Oh, then the corgi in the dark? Then the corgi in the dark story. Because you're a psychopath and you don't care about people.
Starting point is 00:16:36 That's right. You're real Tony Soprano. I'm thinking, though, like, because in my mind, I'm allowing myself to think that person was probably elderly. That's honestly where my mind went. They were in bed asleep. They died in their sleep. Right, right, right.
Starting point is 00:16:50 The saddest part of that story is that the dog was probably hungry all weekend. Also, the family wasn't the first to know. Like, they found out through the dog walker. I bet you that happens more often than not. Or was it, or was it the housekeeper? I apologize. The housekeeper found the body. Right.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Yeah. But the dog walk, I guess they, and they knew before they contacted the family. Well, yeah, we found out this info before any of the family members. And we gave the police their emergency contact info so they could reach out to the family. Jesus Christ. Yeah. I know you that happens. No.
Starting point is 00:17:21 No. Were you to say more often than you think? That somebody finds somebody. I don't know. Can we not talk about this anymore? You've totally ruined my podcast. Thanks for tuning into Jack's career. You've ruined my fucking career day.
Starting point is 00:17:37 No more hotline for you. And if you have any fun stories about ear chops, text or call, dad hug me 10. We're not kidding. I don't really want to hear it. about people falling into equipment and dying. I do. I don't want to me. I don't really want to hear about that. If it's morbid or if it's happy, we don't care. Give us your stories. They can have good endings or bad endings. I'll do some white collar crime discussions so long as like the only person that ended up getting hurt was a corporation. That's a good ending. Yeah. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:18:11 That's happy. Yeah. But well, guys, good or bad, we'll take your career day stories. Just let us know. We have more. Aaron. Jack Phelm. Ruiner of Podcasts. That's me. We have a few options for this week's quiz. Okay?
Starting point is 00:18:28 So if I recall correctly, we never properly finished the Jubilee quiz, but we also have other options, should you prefer? We have a, it's labeled Bible verse or power metal lyric quiz. No. There's a badly explained. musicals quiz. I don't know enough musicals. The ones I know I like
Starting point is 00:18:53 or don't like. Yeah. But I don't know enough musicals. I think I would help fill in that gap being a straight white male. I know a lot of musicals. I mean, look at you. Look at me.
Starting point is 00:19:04 I do know a scary amount, but... Like, I've never seen singing in the rain. I've never seen... The music man. Oh, that's a great musical. That's a wonderful. It's all about a swindler. I know, Jack.
Starting point is 00:19:17 I know that... Swindler! There's also medical note quiz. No. Those are your options. We also never finished Supernatural.
Starting point is 00:19:28 We didn't? I don't think so. I thought we did. No. Man, it felt like it went on forever. There's a Pokemon card quiz. I have not... I don't even know what that means.
Starting point is 00:19:40 I'm just going off... I'm reading the titles of these quizzes, so I'm only guessing as to what the contents of them are. Instead of these quizzes, because I'm still offended by the fact that you didn't know that I love green bean casserole, can I just ask you questions about what you don't know about me? No, that sucks. That's awful.
Starting point is 00:19:56 That's awful for everyone involved. You have to pick a quiz, Aaron. I am making you pick a quiz. That's bullshit. Stop bossing me around. But you boss me around all the time. Yeah, because I can. Look at you.
Starting point is 00:20:10 You're easy to boss around. What the fuck? What does that mean? Here. easy to boss around. All right, let's do Bible verse or... Power metal lyric? Power metal lyric.
Starting point is 00:20:24 That sounds fun. I would love to. Great idea. Who's B... I think that's Beth. Oh. That is Beth. That makes sense because Beth referring to
Starting point is 00:20:34 one of our council members... Do you know Beth's full name? Yeah, Beth the dork. One of Beth's favorite bands, if you didn't know, honey. Oh, God, what are they called? What's that guitar? He or something goes...
Starting point is 00:20:46 Paint it black. Not a band. ACDC. That is a band. Elvis. Prince. Oh no. It's like...
Starting point is 00:21:02 Stone Temple Pilots. Shit, I actually have to cheat. I have to cheat and look up who does Fire in the Flames by... I am... Wow. Stone Temple Pilots. It's not Stone Temple Pilots. What about Ozzy Osbourne's band?
Starting point is 00:21:15 Through the fire. and Dragon Force. I could not think of the... I have never heard of that band. So, Dragon Force, I want to say, is power metal. Listeners, Aaron, it's time to play Bible verse or power metal lyric. What was the last time you read your Bible? This morning.
Starting point is 00:21:33 I read it every day. Guys, I'm going to be honest. And this is on me. But if somebody tells me they read the Bible, I immediately... Red flag. Check out. Check out. I'm out.
Starting point is 00:21:43 I but oftentimes like I do travel quite a bit for work and not all of that travel is in the southwest some in the Pacific Northwest I was in the I've been in the Midwest quite a bit lately east coast anyway more and more and more I am finding that either the Bibles that they have in hotel rooms have been fully replaced or it is accompanied by the book of Mormon oh that's what Weird. Very weird. Huh. And I don't really.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Yeah, we should look into that. Yeah, I'm not like. We won't, but we should look into that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Like, it's one of those things where I'm like. Put it on the list. What happened there? Like, because I don't imagine that the church is necessarily growing.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Mm-hmm. The Mormon church. Like, so I, I don't know. I was just like, I don't know. I didn't grow up knowing anybody that was Mormon. Like, I didn't meet my first Mormon person until I was like, 22. I worked with someone.
Starting point is 00:22:43 that was Mormon when I was like 22. Shut up. So I just find it interesting that it's like, oh, I wonder what this cultural shift is in the hotel scene. That's all. Yeah. Someone should look into that. Yeah. You know, it won't be us.
Starting point is 00:22:58 So Bible verse or power metal lyric. This is from Beth the Dork. Do you know Beth's real name? I just said it. So for this quiz, we'll be shown a passage. We have to decide if it's a Bible verse or lyrics from a power. metal song. And before you ask, no, don't know what designates power metal from metal. Other metal? Yeah. Rock metal? Yeah. Me neither. Couldn't tell you. Me neither. How strong are your,
Starting point is 00:23:27 your Bible senses? I like to think you're okay. I am. I went to a Catholic middle school. I don't know the books very well. I went to church twice a week when I was an adolescent. Twice a week? Yeah, Tuesdays and Sundays. Because the school, Because of, you guys did mass on Tuesdays? Yeah, we did. Really? But at school, yeah. And then my family would go on Sundays.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Like that was like a class. Kind of, yeah. It was like required. Yeah. Did the whole school go? Oh, yeah. Yeah. That is weird.
Starting point is 00:23:56 I don't know that that's. And then I read, you know what happened? I read, I read Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. And I literally was like, huh. Really? Maybe I don't believe in God. This is real. Can I tell you what mine was?
Starting point is 00:24:12 Yeah, what was yours. It's not that I, well, but we've, we've since rolled that back and you're less atheist. I'm more, I tell people, I'm more agnostic than I am atheist. And the difference for those who don't, aren't aware, atheism is an outright rejection of a higher power. And not rejection, but like just like, it does not exist. Agnostic, I think, it's in a similar vein. I believe there's something, but I just don't know what it is. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:24:38 I've always interpreted it as like, I don't know. Oh, no. I thought agnostic was. was you believe in something but you can't like yeah put your finger on it oh that's interesting maybe i've gotten it wrong maybe i've gotten it wrong maybe i'm somewhere between atheist and agnostic but anyways what what was your thing you you were saying like because i was saying like a dan brown novel was my literal like uh my uncle got divorced but he wasn't divorced like they he was married to this woman for i don't know let's say 10 years or something they had a
Starting point is 00:25:12 whole child together and then a whole child a whole child and then arms and everything yeah and 10 fingies and 10 toes and they got their marriage and old which i believe i'm totally butchering this but costs like i don't know 10 grand or something and that was back in the day so you had to pay god for god to say that your church that that your marriage never existed and that's what that's what caused the skepticism in your eyes like wait a minute Yeah. Like, wait, you're going to unknow it, which basically nullifies it, which means it never happened.
Starting point is 00:25:48 But it's going to cost you. But it's going to cost you money. But also like, but it did happen. Right. Right. So, what now? I never knew that about you. That's really interesting.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Yeah. That's fun. And then I kind of, I don't know, I thought about the idea of getting married in a church. And it just felt very. Yeah. Yeah. to get married under a statue of a man bleeding from his feet and hands while dying.
Starting point is 00:26:15 Like, that's not really something I want in my wedding pictures. So, yeah. And we did not get married in church? We did not get married in a church. Well, we got married in Mother Nature's Church outside. Boo. Next to the ocean. You're not deep, boo.
Starting point is 00:26:32 All righty. Okay, we're shown a passage. We have to choose if it's a Bible verse. or lyrics from a power metal song. All right. Sound easy. It's harder than it seems. The Bible is metal as fuck.
Starting point is 00:26:43 Fuck yeah. Dude, you hear about Job? You hear about what happened to Job's family? Yeah, that was rough. That was rough. God did a number on Job.
Starting point is 00:26:52 Dude, God hated Job. God kind of hated Job. He did not care for Job. It was like, he, he, he, he said, he love me,
Starting point is 00:27:01 prove it. God did not care for Job. I just, okay, there's some stories in the Bible that are like, hmm, well,
Starting point is 00:27:08 I don't love that. Anyways, question one. Are you ready, Aaron? I'm ready. Listeners, are you ready? All right, you have no say in the matter. Here we go. Do you want to read this one?
Starting point is 00:27:15 Question one. You are my hammer and weapon of war with you. I break nations in pieces with you. I destroy kingdoms. That's it. That's the thing. I am going to say that is a Bible verse. So when I gave that to you, I did not know you would go the Backstreet Boys route.
Starting point is 00:27:47 Well, it starts with you are. It does. You are my hammer and weapon of war. With you, I break nations and pieces. With you, I destroy kingdoms. Oof. That's hard. That's Old Testament God.
Starting point is 00:27:59 You think? Oh, yeah. We fucking know each other. We go way back. And like, that's some Old Testament God right there. Yeah, the fact that they're referencing. nations, kingdoms. That's very Bible-coded. They're always talking about kingdoms. I'm going to say this is from, like with you, I agree in that it's the Old Testament. Yeah. All right. Old Testament God
Starting point is 00:28:21 was gnarly. Old Testament God was gnarly. Are you ready? Bible verse Jeremiah 51 verse 20. Yeah, we fucking, yeah, I call it. Kingdoms that threw me off. I'm like, oh, I'm not threw me off. That like triggered me. I'm like, oh, that's from the Bible. It's like that video game. Kingdom Hearts. Kingdom Hearts, which is from the Bible. Jeremiah 51. 20. It's a beautiful story, Kingdom Hearts. And lo and behold, Donald and Goofy. Nicky.
Starting point is 00:28:46 And Mickey. Minnie. Destroyed kingdoms and nations together. Thumbolina, whatever the fuck. I don't think she's. Tinkerbell? Now, what's the blonde princess from Nintendo? Peach, Rosalina?
Starting point is 00:29:00 The Rosalina. Oh, yeah, yeah. You know, they're making a movie about Rosalina in March. Move. All right, here you go. Next up. But question two, angels come down tonight. There's no longer a distance between heaven and my life.
Starting point is 00:29:14 That's metal. That's metal as fuck. That's so metal. Come on, dude. I want to listen to that fucking song. There's no, like, that's, that's poetic as hell. There's no longer a distance between heaven and my life. That fucking rules.
Starting point is 00:29:26 That's so hot. Oh, man, that's got to be, uh, honey. Dragon Force. I was going to say, I was going to ask you, which band came up with this? You say Dragon Force. Dragon Force for sure. I want to say Dragon Force too. ready?
Starting point is 00:29:38 No, it's Serenity. It is, so it is a power metal lyric. Serenity, my other favorite. It's from the band or artist Serenity and their song Final Crusade. Honey, you love Serenity, right? I'm big, big fan. Like, if you're not singing Wicked, you're singing Serenity. I, it's embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:29:56 Watched Apple Music A-List Pop music videos yesterday. I don't know fucking any songs. Like none. I don't know any artists. I was watching that with you. And Benson Boone, what the motherfucker was that sad song about your goddamn mom? That was horrible. That was worse than the kittens in a bag that are wet.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Like, it was so bad. Oh, my God. Anyway, next question. All right, here we go. Question three. The judgment stands before us. The second king will rise. Our swords will shine with honor.
Starting point is 00:30:33 Okay, this one's hard. This is hard. This is tricky. I'm leaning towards metal. I'm leaning towards Bible. Oh, okay. The second king will rise. I'm going to say Bible.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Yeah, but like the judgment stands before us. Our swords will shine with honor. No, this sounds like the rallying chorus or like something, like building up like, yeah, swords will shine with honor. I don't know. I mean, I think God. God has fought many a battle. So he has.
Starting point is 00:31:02 Old Testament. You put it perfectly. Old Testament. was gnarly. Yeah. There's a lot of stuff in the old testament. He was like kind of an insult. He was like so jealous of any guy.
Starting point is 00:31:14 If he didn't like you, he'd turn into a pillar of salt. Mm-hmm. He was like, blam. Who'd he turn into a pillar of salt? Jeremiah. It was Jeremiah, actually. No, um, lot, I think. Oh, see, it's been a minute.
Starting point is 00:31:26 I should know this. I should know this. Some of do is Sodom and Gomorrah. But we have to move on. So I, I'm saying it's metal. You're saying. Bible. And just listeners, just so you have it one last time, the judgment stands before us. The second king will rise. Our swords will shine with honor. Okay, you've made your guesses. Good. The answer.
Starting point is 00:31:48 Honey, it's a power metal lyric. Oh, it's fucking. It's dragon force. To be fair, the song is Revelations, which is a book in the Bible. Which is a book in the Bible. So technically. Is that the last one? Is Revelation's the last book? Like I know. Like I know. It's up there. It's one of the later ones. That's, Revelation's all about the end of the world. Oh, like The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis. Oh, my God. Yes. Just like Aaron loves her chronicles of Narnia. And we'll flex on you any chance she gets.
Starting point is 00:32:15 That was a memorable book. It was strange, but it was memorable. What was it called? The Last Battle? The Last Battle. And that's like it's the last, it's a book seven of the seven, right? Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:25 The last battle. Yeah, it's hard to follow that up. The best books in that series were the magician's nephew. Mm-hmm. The Lion of Witch and the Wardrobe. No. Now, I actually did not care for the lion, which lordshire. That's the one that one knows.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Yeah, well, the magician's nephew is better. Silver chair, do you like that one? I do like silver chair. Nerd. I did not care for a horse and his boy or something. Yeah. I did not care for that one. Prince Casimir, you like that one?
Starting point is 00:32:49 You freak, you like that one? I actually don't remember. I remember not caring for a voyage of the Dawn Shredder, though. Prince Caspian is probably, but like silver chair is probably my favorite. Yeah? Yeah. Magician's nephew, silver chair. Last battle. Those are my top three.
Starting point is 00:33:06 Are they, last I checked. Was it the Barbie director who's like making that into a series? Greta Gerwig. Yes. She's a new it girl. Greta Gerwig, you said? Damn, good for her. And she's like fighting climate change and all that. That's really cool. Good for her. Next up. All right, read this one, honey. Oh. Don't fucking turn into a song. Question four. Oh, daughter of Babylon. doomed to be destroyed
Starting point is 00:33:32 Blessed shall he Be who Repays you with what you have done to us That's fucking full on Bible verse I mean there is a Babylon In the Bible Blessed shall he be who repays you With what you have done to us
Starting point is 00:33:49 Blessed shall he Blessed shall he be Who repays you with what you have done to us Yeah, that's Bible It's yeah And now here I'm getting confused my dumb ass, I'm mixing up the Tower of Babel with Babylon. And I don't entirely know what or where Babylon is.
Starting point is 00:34:07 I don't know Babylon. Do you know the Tower of Babel? I know that there's like a language learning series called Babel. Which is funny, right. And the whole origin... What is funny about learning languages, Jack. I'm telling you, Aaron. So the Tower of Babel...
Starting point is 00:34:20 That's where they found the Rosetta Stone. That's where they found the Rosetta Stone. Another language learning series. So, so these, these humans, this is... There's a story in the Old Testament. They were trying to, I think, build a tower to God, like as high as they could to the heavens, right? And so to punish them, God was like, no, don't. That's cringe.
Starting point is 00:34:41 You can't come up here. You know what I'm going to do? While you're building this tower, I'm going to curse all of the builders so that they all speak different languages. And so no one can communicate to each other. So it became the tower of Babbel. Wait, why didn't he want to be built? He didn't want people to get too close to him. He was like, ooh, no, I don't like that.
Starting point is 00:35:02 You're all going to speak separate languages and not know what the other is saying. And that's why Babel is a language learning course. Listen, guys, last week I talked about how we had to take intellectual heritage at Temple University. And intellectual heritage, too, was all about religious texts. Old Testament versus New Testament. What the actual fuck? Yeah. The dude that was God in the Old Testament.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Right. Like, different guy. Like, no way in fucking hell is he the father of Jesus. Or, or he abused Jesus so badly that Jesus was like, I am not going to live my life like my father. He is a bad dude. It gives two very different gods, doesn't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:44 And that's why when people are like, oh, I read my Bible or whatever the fuck I'm like. Because usually those people tend to be more hateful. That is the trend these days. Yeah. They tend to be more fucking hateful. Uh-huh. of many such cases of thy neighbor and so yeah we both agree this is a this is a bible verse right i mean i said that all right i didn't know if you agreed or not i agree let's go it's a bible verse it's
Starting point is 00:36:11 psalm chapter 137 verse 8 i love that you know how to i would just say 137 8 like i i would not have known that no man psalm though there are a bunch of psalms i mean that's psalm 137 what are the psalm I used to know this. It was a lot of who like where did the psalms come from and I went to the sea scrolls. See I used to know this shit. I went saw that dead seas you did the sea scrolls I went and I went and saw the where was that was that in Philly? Yeah, it was at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia.
Starting point is 00:36:43 Oh, I love the Franklin Institute. But it's a traveling exhibit that you come to LA and shit like that. It's just a bunch of pieces of paper tight like not to diminish it. It was kind of interesting. Yeah, that's history. It's a bunch of fucking tiny pieces of paper that are all ripped up that they've like accumulated and it was like what. made the Bible and like they found it in like caves in fucking somewhere and like because of the
Starting point is 00:37:05 climate of where they were found like they were preserved decently well because there was like no humidity or something that's cool so anyway whereas if they were in a different climate they would have been bye bye again you're just so articulate just a word smith just a word smith but But like, I don't know shit about, like, what is the Psalms? Are the Psalms in the New Testament or the Psalms? No, that's, I believe that this is Old Testament. Okay, like who wrote the Psalms? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:37:40 There are a bunch of them. And I was going to say, I don't know if the beatitudes are in Psalms because this sounds like, you know, O daughter of Babel, like, the beatitude, like, and this has blessed, blessed shall he be, the beatitudes are like a series of like, blessed, blessed are the poor for they will be rich in the kingdom of heaven blessed are the meek for they will be strong it's a bunch of like you know almost like not contradictions but like you know if woe is you keep out keep holding out hope you'll you'll be epic someday and i don't more or less we're so dumb more i used to know the shit i know fucking 10 year old me fucking like catholic as hell 10 11 year old
Starting point is 00:38:19 me would be so disappointed yeah he'd probably throw rocks at you like you did that other kid. Well, he deserved. Listeners, I got sent to the principal's office seven times when I was like six years old. Was it really that many times? Yeah. And one of those times I threw rocks at a kid because he made fun of me because he asked me what what is one times one? I was like two and he laughed at me and I didn't like that. So I threw rocks at it. Oh, I was going to, if I were going to make fun of you, it wouldn't be because of your shitty math skills. It would be because of your giant fucking skull. I guess it was hidden in the hair that I had as a child. Had.
Starting point is 00:38:59 Yeah, I'm writing a keyword. May it rest. All right. Last question for tonight. And this is a really fun quiz. Last question for this week. For this week. Yeah, I want to pick this up next week.
Starting point is 00:39:09 We are going to pick this up next week. Because I'm having a lot of fun. But this is the final one we're going to do for now. Let me take this one, hon. The streets where we have failed. A place where sins were born. An angel came to earth. The end of Babylon.
Starting point is 00:39:23 Lyric. I'm thinking lyric right? The Bible didn't have streets. The streets was kind of like, you know what I mean? Like I hear you. Like, yeah, there were streets in the Bible. Like, as soon as I heard that, I'm like, ah, this sounds like a lyric, man. And the way it's phrased reads more like a song lyric, like, let alone metal, just a song lyric more so than a Bible verse.
Starting point is 00:39:41 The streets are what? I would have said Bible verse, the word streets. I'm like. It's very poetic. Unlike the Bible. I feel like, not that the Bible can't be poetic, but like this first opening, the streets where we have failed. Are we going to be smited? A place where sins were born.
Starting point is 00:39:55 I think we're going to be smited. I don't think so. For what? Kind of, you know. We're, I think we're having a scholarly discussion regarding Bible verses. And every so often, um, metal lyrics pop in. And it's a fun surprise. So we both agree.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Metal, right? Metal. Okay, here we go. Listeners, place your bets. The correct answer. Of course it's metal. It's from Serenity again. Serenity again with their song, appropriately, the end of Babylon.
Starting point is 00:40:22 No, not Serenity now, honey. Serenity now. Wow, I won that quiz. Yay. No, you didn't. I actually did better than you. I won. I win.
Starting point is 00:40:31 Let's pick this up next week because that's a fun quiz. That is a fun quiz. That's a great idea. Beth, pat yourself on the shoulder. You did phenomenally. But, Aaron, it is time to tap into our third eyes. Jack film. We've also...
