Secular vs. Solomon: the proverb game show

  • Secular or Solomon: 'The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence'?
  • Secular or Solomon: 'Desire without knowledge is not good, and whoever makes haste with his feet misses his way'?
  • Secular or Solomon: 'If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat. If he is thirsty, give him water to drink'?
  • Secular or Solomon: 'Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring'?
  • Secular or Solomon: 'Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it'?
  • Secular or Solomon: 'What may be done at any time will be done at no time'?
  • Secular or Solomon: 'One beggar at the door is enough'?
  • Secular or Solomon: 'The tallest blade of grass is the first to be cut by the scythe'?
  • Secular or Solomon: 'He who is being carried does not realize how far the town is'?

The hosts play nine rounds of 'Secular vs. Solomon,' billed as 'America's fastest growing Internet game show.' Ben reads a proverb and John Boova, Mike Foust, and Dan Hudson guess whether it is secular (world wisdom) or from Solomon (Proverbs), with secular guesses naming a country of origin. Solomon rounds include Proverbs 10:11, 19:2, 25:21, 27:1, and 13:11; secular answers land on Scottish, French, Russian, and Nigerian. Dan wins; running gags include leg-scratching during round two and 'Don't tase me, bro.'
