We just finished reading Ecclesiastes, so it's time for Husband and Wife to play another round of a game called You're Always Wrong .

Husband and Wife recap the Book of Ecclesiastes — In which "Solomon" (wink-wink) urges us to enjoy the good things life has to offer before we get to old to shake it like a Polaroid picture, since we have no way of knowing how or when we're gonna kick it. We think this is actually a good philosophy, and the book itself was surprisingly enjoyable with its dark tones and heavy symbolism....

Husband and Wife cover Ecclesiastes chapter 12. Another book of the Bible to mark off our list! This chapter harkened back to the book's opening chapters with all its depressing imagery, and honestly, we're here for it. Grasshoppers draggin' ass, birds tired of tweeting, grinders not... grinding... It's a lesson against growing old. Or else it's a lesson that youth fades. Or wa...

Husband and Wife cover Ecclesiastes chapter 11. . These people didn't know anything about wind, wombs, or Waffle House, but yes, let's trust their so-called wisdom. You wanna know what's meaningless?

Husband and Wife cover Ecclesiastes chapter 6. . Kohelet says that if a man has 100 children, he probably won't be able to afford a proper burial, which definitely tracks, because that is a lot of mouths to feed. So many, in fact, that we think the dude needs at least five wives to birth that amount of children, which is still like 20 babies each. Wife's body barely handled TWO so that sti...

Husband and Wife answer questions about the term Ecclesiastes , what it means and to whom it may refer. They question the imperative to see death as a problem in need of a solution. Then they examine their God-shaped holes and declare themselves all filled up, sans deity. This book is about vanity, life's pointlessness, living in the moment, enjoying the little things, hedonism, and rock garde...

Husband and Wife cover Ecclesiastes chapter 5. . Kohelet, son of David, who inexplicably bears a female name, advises against talking too much and making rash promises. The rich can never be rich enough, and babies should never exit the womb whilst adorned with a top hat. You shouldn't be a farmer unless you listen to the Cincinnati Reds play on the radio, and if you still have any VHS tapes,...

Husband and Wife cover Ecclesiastes chapter 4. . Kohelet, son of David, who inexplicably bears a female name, seriously needs a hobby, a warm blanket, and maybe a dildo... in addition to a therapist and some strong medicine to treat his ongoing malaise. Like a typical moody teenager, he cries out, "I wish I'd never been born!" Then he moans about needless toil and how all efforts are b...

Husband and Wife cover Ecclesiastes chapter 3. Kohelet, son of David, who inexplicably bears a female name, STILL thinks that all is meaningless. The author goes on to say that there is a time for everything, and then complains about the injustice of life. Wife then goes on a ramble about Gothic literature and recommends some dark reads for the impending autumn season.  . "Turn! Turn! Turn!&#3...

Husband and Wife cover Ecclesiastes chapter 2. Kohelet, son of David, who inexplicably bears a female name, still thinks that all is meaningless, and we are really worried this person is suffering intense Depression (with a capital-D because Depression its a lying bitch). Wife proposes that Kohelet is perhaps struggling with gender dysphoria. Husband suggests that maybe they need to work on repair...

Husband and Wife cover Ecclesiastes chapter 1. An unnamed author introduces us to Kohelet, son of David, who inexplicably bears a female name. All is meaningless, per the king's experience. This passage, tho dark, is beautifully written. Ecclesiastes is a favorite for some of our listeners, and if the rest of the book is anything like its intro, we can easily see why.

Husband and Wife recap the Book of Proverbs — a collection of collections, most of the Proverbs are attributed to Solomon, which is clearly nonsense, altho he may have penned a handful and collected the rest from his non-Hebrew Egyptian and Babylonian buddies. The sayings in this book were pretty black-and-white, lacking in nuance with zero gray area. We failed the pop quiz but still did better th...
