So maybe it was a lot of... Maybe there were a lot more meek. Of course there were. There were a lot more meek and less... People with things less to be proud of. There's always smaller on the top with all the power. So that may just be... An inversion of the pyramid, right? Right. An uprising of humility, which seems like an oxymoron. But you know what I mean? This is it. Yeah.

It's all of the meek and all of the people with no that feel humble, that feel that they are less than, but realizing, wait, if you'd say we have the power, we're so much more than you guys are. We win.

Oh, if you're prideful, then of course you're allowed to do anything.

You can lust it up. You can wrath it out.

Sure. Wow. Interesting, because that's the tipping point. If you believe in yourself that much, then is this really a sin?

Man, I never would have thought that pride would be. Pride seems like The also sin. I know.

Like, that's really interesting. It's extremely interesting because there's so much Again, I'm just, I'm really putting the more on an oxymoron, but there's so much strength in humility that I didn't think it's such a strong, I thought humility would be kind of like what you said, like this one is a little hard. Like the first three words that I use when I was like, okay, what's for week four?

Humility. I think my first three words were boy, boy. I don't know what to say. Like it's humility. What are you going to do? It's like, it's like sneezing in the wind, but no, there is so much, not a phrase, but there is so much there. And it really is like the leash that keeps you from going crazy in so many other ways.

The fact that they made it, granted, if we take the Trinity out of it, the idea that God and the Son and the Holy Ghost, that they're all the same thing, because that just sort of makes your head blow open. You have a child. The idea of being so humble, because Jesus was humble, but really who was in charge of the humble train was God, because he gave his only begotten Son.

So you have to give up Nicholas. Or everyone else being a jerk. Nicholas has done nothing wrong. But you have to put your son in eternal detention. Well, three-day detention. And then he comes back. But either way, the humility to do unto others, to save everyone around you and lose one of the things that is the most important thing to you, is that relatable-ish?

Because that's unthinkable for you. You would say, the answer is, no, that's stupid. Yeah.

But I think the relatable thing is supposed to be that he, capital H, he didn't. He did that for us. That is ultimate humility. That is ultimate grace is supposed to be. And I, again, I am not a religious person, but I know I am religious, what? Not themed. Adjacent. Yeah, I'm on the off ramp of religion. But yeah, I think that's probably the best way that you can try to imagine that.

Got it. So it's not because you were told to, but it's because this is what makes the most sense for all of us together. Yeah. And every time you use the word, you've used it twice now, every time you use the word foster, you know that my brain goes right to my dog. It's your dog. And I miss the next couple. Right.

you just have to sort of black out you have to be very careful yeah i'm always like oh i have to pick up sticks at the store yeah um you just have to know that but yeah that makes i love that i love anything that doesn't have to do with rules or doctrine from above whether the above being religion or government or anything that if we're figuring it out on our own golden rule style that's always the best that's the i think so too

To wit, the pandemic, for instance. To wit, the pandemic, right. Everyone was all of a sudden either an expert or very skeptical of experts.

Yeah. You keep mispronouncing the word communist when you say Confucianism.

We just play fantasy football. You think fantasy football is just imagining a game? That's kind of what I think. Well, guess what? I just scored nine touchdowns.

And now, words are fun, with all the feelings, sins, and virtues. And our contestant today is Uncle Pete. Pete, come on down! Yay! Okay, what am I doing? Pete, as you know, this is the show where we ask a question, and it doesn't really matter if you know the answer or not, because I did research that I want to share no matter what.

We don't know what you're talking about because I have a different character. All right, Pete, here we go. What does the phrase eat humble pie usually mean?

Right. It means to apologize for or take back something that you've said. Okay. Or done. Right. You eat humble pie. You're exactly right. Do you know where that phrase came from? Have you ever thought to think, where did that phrase come from? It's a UK phrase, mostly.
