Babylonian Talmud, and the less-common Jerusalem Talmud. Both incorporate the same original Mishnah, but they then supplement it with different interpretations and analysis—different Gemara—from their various perspectives.
What, then, do we find in the Talmud? All sorts of weird, bizarre, disturbing, shocking, offensive things. They are well-buried, of course, and rarely mentioned in polite company—yet they are there all the same, and they deserve a bit of light, if we are to better understand the Jewish people and their motivations and ethics. Let me walk through some of the six sederim and pull out a few, shall we say, interesting passages.
