1 Nephi 02 That's his Currency

Joe starts off with an apology for what he remembers of his behavior in the previous episode.  Joe and Smith discuss the film Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022). The guys talk about growing up in the church and feeling like love was a conditional thing. Smith has a challenge to find a passage in the BOM that expresses unconditional love without strings attached. The guys remind the listener of their own ignorance on pretty much everything. Joe and Smith talk about their relationship with the media and their devices. Joe accuses Smith of being preachy about it. Neither of the guys have seen Hacksaw Ridge (2016). Afghan is the correct term for the people as it turns out. Smith isn’t proud of some of his past political beliefs and preemptively apologizes for any slips of his ignorance while talking, Joe agrees in spirit.  Joe brings up the victim mentality that tends to come up in the church. Smith asks Joe about comparing his kids to geologic formations like Lehi does in this chapter. Smith notices the lack of unconditional love coming from Lehi to his sons. Lehi seems pretty passive aggressive and it’s rewarded. Nephi is a big kid, like Dudley Dursley? Joe notices that JS brings his value for wanting to have financial gain into this chapter. This chapter brings up a curse from the Lord, and the guys lament the fact that HP used one of the unforgivable curses in anger.    Behind the Bastards on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/behind-the-bastards/id1373812661    Afghan / Afghani https://brians.wsu.edu/2016/05/16/afghan-afghani/    Music Provided by Eric VanAusdal with permission from the artist.
