#50 Life, Death & The Divine

You're standing in line at your favorite coffee shop, watching a guy in a $2,000 suit order a quad-shot americano while frantically checking his stock portfolio. Sitting at a table in the background, a teenager is having an existential crisis over which filter to use for her latte photo. And suddenly, you're hit with the same thought that smacked "The Preacher" of Ecclesiastes upside the head 3,000 years ago: "What's the point of all this?" Turns out even ancients had their own quarter-life crisis, and this one wrote a whole book about it.

In this 50th episode of Lightning Rounds, Hollow, Andrew & Zach are diving into Ecclesiastes – the ancient text that reads like it was written by a philosophical combo of Mark Twain and your brutally honest depressed uncle. We'll explore why this book of the Bible feels like a 2000s emo song, and how its raw take on life, death, meaning, and joy speaks to both the coffee-chugging executive and the trend-obsessed teen in all of us. Hope you enjoy the listen!
