I have to find like self-deprecation within my humility. Well, first, okay, Pete, I know, I don't know if you've met, we have a robot friend and I was wondering if maybe a Pete robot, robot, Pete robot, say hi. Hi. And a robot. Why don't you go ahead and set the table?

Thank you, Robot. Pete, humility, what do you think? Is it all it's got to be? I want to do this like this morning zoo radio. We're taking calls. What do you guys think about humility?

Low view. We'll see. Modest and low is very different for me. It's being used almost like a synonym here. But modest is like you're like capping expectations. You're not blowing your own horn, but you do have a horn. You're older yet. You're just not putting your lips around it. Gross. But a low view of one's importance seems like you are tearing yourself down and that's not helpful.

I assume that there is a difference between humility and self-deprecation. I think if anything, I tend to maybe I've been told that I tend more to stray towards the latter. Towards self-deprecation versus humility. But I don't know how to separate those two.

I don't weaponize humility. Um, well, yes, I use it as a yes. And I'm actually going to be talking about that in a later segment about how I use humility or humility.

Yes. Yeah. And not not self-aggrandizing yourself, just really knowing where you are, where your skin is and where your place is.

Pride and honor. Okay. This is in the Greeks, you're saying.

Oh, I see what you're saying. So it's completely reversed. I guess maybe both could exist, but I guess both can't exist. So Pride, everyone's psyched that you're overly proudful.

Was it just because you were like convincing other people or is it like a fake it till you make it thing? Why? Because having pride doesn't mean you have achievements. It means you're saying, right? It means you're saying I'm the best. It doesn't mean you're the best.

That sounds terrible for a society to be based on loving them. And it also kind of sounds like America. A lot of America.

Well, I have a guess, but it's going to be the same guess that I've had every episode so far. And I don't want it to seem like I'm perseverating on one thing.

Yeah. Who did he think he was? Um, Right. Because he preached humility. He preached that the meek shall inherit the earth, that rich people are camels and needles and can't get into heaven. All of that. Right.

It's going to ring a bell. Oh, the real humbleness. Well, I mean, obviously giving yourself up for crucifixion on behalf of everybody else is a pretty cool, is a pretty cool. It's pretty, it's pretty cool. Yeah, I don't, I don't know. What is it? Unless it was crucifixion.

This is completely offering yourself up, sacrificing yourself for everyone else being a jerk.

We can be that specific with time that far ago?

It's all right because everyone's texting up.

I think, by the way, just to go back a second, that when we were doing the quiz, that I made sure to say Jesus Christ and not Jesus because I didn't want you to be confused. Yeah, you could have been talking about Christ like a famous. Oh, my friend Denzel Washington.

And we have so much more in effect text now. Yeah. Is it because the floods are all coming from one place? Meaning that we still sort of had not a town crier, but ideas were coming from more centralized places instead of everyone screaming them all the time. Because that is really surprising to have. That is a huge shift.

And I bet there was a lot of prideful people flapping in the wind being like, no, but wait, you love me, right? Yeah, check out what I can knock over with my penis. Like no one there just laughed in the dark. Yeah.

And that just, and that one, one is a dumb way to say it, but because that struck, it must have struck something that so many people either hadn't thought of or did believe. And you know what I mean? Like it uncovered... It awoke something. That's how that has to work. It can't just be like, oh, this guy said it, so let's go. It was this... We've always been thinking this way.
