00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 2: She goes, DVDs no way.

157
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: She knew what a DVD was. But she goes, so,

158
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: wait a minute, your special was on the DVD. I go, yeah, Amber,

159
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: that's how people put their specials out. And I said,

160
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: you would have I go, you would have nothing. I

161
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: mean she has like I mean, she probablys T shirts

162
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: and whatever. People don't sell DVDs anymore. No, I don't know,

163
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: but I'm just kidding. But I'm saying, like, she's so

164
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: young at comedy that she does not remember the DVD

165
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: era of specials. Now, there were people who even in

166
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: the DVD era, like Nate. When Nate was blowing up,

167
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: he was kind of almost jealous of me. He would say, like,

168
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: so you sell your special at your table because everything

169
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: he had was like property of Comedy Central or property

170
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: of and so you don't even own you can't go

171
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: sell DVDs of it because it's it's there. You're beholden

172
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: to what they do with it. So I get that

173
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: there were people like that, but most people were like,

174
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: here's my special.

175
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 2: Here's poor Nate.

176
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: By the way, I know, if he keeps working, he's

177
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: going to go full time one of these days. But

178
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: nobody's interesting, Like just hearing her and having to explain,

179
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: and I felt so ancient. Yeah, and I was like yeah,

180
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: and I said, you know, the crazy thing is like

181
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: I got out of the right moment. I had DVDs,

182
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: but then I knew that it was ending. I knew

183
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: that the pandemic was going to finish it off, like

184
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: everybody's going to be stuck in their house streaming everything.

185
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: And I sold the last of my DVDs just in time.

186
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: So I wasn't like, I go, I know a lot

187
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: of comedians they got a warehouse ful, they have a

188
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: garage of DVD and she goes, whoa, and I go

189
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: worse than that. I know comedians with a garage full

190
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: of vhs. Oh, they didn't even get out of vhs

191
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: before it went to DVDs. And she was like, yikes,

192
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: and we were just talking about it. I just thought,

193
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: what a weird thing, like we have this huge thing

194
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: in common, and yet generationally she was looking at me

195
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: like I had three heads. Yeah, because I had my

196
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: special on a DVD. I think she was almost jealous

197
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: of it too, and was like and again I can't

198
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: speak for Amberg, but she was almost like, oh, that

199
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: would be a cool like side money, and it was

200
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: for the time. It really was. And honestly, I'm getting

201
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: ready to do this. There's a thing next year doing

202
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: called Praise Fest or something. It's one of these Southern

203
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: gospel things at Silver Dollar City and Branson. Okay, and

204
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: guess what, I'm pressing some CDs. Absolutely, I'm taking them

205
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: with him because they still buy physical media. Yeah, they're

206
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: still that kind of demographic. So they still want like

207
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: a tactile thing to hey, can he sign my DVD?

208
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: Can he whatever? They have DVD players in their house,

209
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: whereas everybody else is just like, I want to hit

210
00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: a couple buttons and be watching whatever I want to want?

211
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 2: Do you still have a DVD player?

212
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 1: It's in my garage. I never unpacked it. We moved

213
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen and that was the last time.

214
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 2: I think I just threw mine away in my bedroom.

215
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 2: It was just underneath the clock.

216
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's just a thing, isn't it funny? Man? It's

217
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: just wild out things. Just to keep moving, and eventually

218
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: it'll be I don't know what'll be the next thing.

219
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: You just they zap stuff into our head when they

220
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: even need our heads. The cloud, how it affects my

221
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: head's in the clouds musical artists. Man, there was a

222
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: day and time.

223
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, they made so much more money because they were

224
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 2: selling albums, right, and not just streaming singles.

225
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, and now that's why they have to tour three

226
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: hundred days a year to try to make a living. Yeah,

227
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: they try to their table.

228
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 2: Maybe to buy a product, but it's a product you've

229
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 2: already heard a million times.

230
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: Maybe, And even now, I don't know physical physical media

231
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: now it's almost a nostalgia. You buy like a vinyl, yeah,

232
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: because you want that thing. It's like a throwback thing.

233
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: You know. Books are still going, yeah, the physical books.

234
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 1: You know there were audio books didn't kill books.

235
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 2: Well, it would have been ebooks that killed books, but

236
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 2: there was. They took over for a while. And I

237
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 2: remember a couple of years back, my agent or someone saying,

238
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 2: it's kind of like half and half. They came back.

239
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 2: People still like I still prefer I don't really read

240
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: e books hardly. Ever, my wife does.

241
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: She has it.

242
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 2: But it's you either do or you don't. I want

243
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: the book. I want to put it on my shelf.

244
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 2: I want to you know pages, right, I interact with it.

245
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 2: I mean I don't talk to it or anything.

246
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: When interact. I don't mean that, but I mean I just.

247
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: You know, my agent used to always say Robert Walgemuth,

248
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 2: who I've talked about it lately and who passed away

249
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 2: earlier this year. And he used to always say it

250
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 2: was he was so great. He was so brilliant, he

251
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 2: would say, because he used to travel so much for

252
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 2: book meetings and everything, and he was the president Thomas

253
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 2: Nelson at one point, and he was just all over

254
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 2: the place. And he said on his bookshelf in his office,

255
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: he can pull books off and he can find boarding

256
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 2: passes in like the first ten pages was like his

257
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 2: talk to you about making sure that you catch them

258
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 2: out of the gate. Yeah, He's like, if I see

259
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 2: a boarding pass in the book, that I know they

260
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: didn't they didn't get me. That's where I put the

261
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 2: boarding pass and closed the book.

262
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: Oh wow. And he would also say, did you say

263
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: about your book, but John, your book, but you there's

264
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: not a boarding pass in there. Well, he was so

265
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: kind to me.

266
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: I think he was kind to me that I was.

267
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: He would always tell me he was. If he told

268
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: you that story, then he's not going to be And

269
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: your boarding passes on page two and you, sir. Yeah,

270
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: he I didn't get past the table of contents.

271
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 2: The other thing he would say was always so fascinating

272
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 2: and it goes back. I want to say, interact with

273
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,359
Speaker 2: books and maybe me think of this is he would say.

274
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: When you're writing proposals, don't ever write in like a

275
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: plural form.

276
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: Always write in to a person, to one you don't say.

277
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 2: Readers will find this because a book is not an

278
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: experience between you and people. It's an experience between you

279
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: and a person. So when a person is sitting in

280
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 2: a cafe reading your book, it's you and them talking

281
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: one on one.

282
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: That's good.

283
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 2: You get to talk to that one person through your books,

284
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: So talk to one person. So never write to people

285
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 2: right to a person, which I always saw. So it

286
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: really makes it made it so cool for me, like yeah,

287
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 2: when a person reads that, you know there.

288
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: That's how we feel about our listeners or listener or

289
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: sometimes we feel like, how would you listen to the

290
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: show John if you wanted to.

291
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 2: Well, you would go to talk about that podcast dot com.

292
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: You can find all of our archived episodes there and

293
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: send us a note. I think we're going to read

294
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: an email later because we got an email from somebody

295
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: that wanted you to come along to a show. They

296
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 1: had a special request. Did you find that? I saw

297
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: the request. See if you can find it, and then

298
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: maybe we'll read it later.

299
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 2: When is that show? By the way, it's coming up, John,

300
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 2: Because what I'm going to do is is I'm going

301
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: to send that request through you to the show. Huh.

302
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: I don't. It's not the same though. They want you

303
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: want your presence on it. I don't want just the present, John,

304
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: They want your PRIs I don't want that preach.

305
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 2: Some of y'all out there just want the presence for

306
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: What you don't want is the press.

307
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: You just being so transacting, you don't don't speaking of transaction.

308
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: We got people here that help us keep the lights on.

309
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,920

Speaker 1: But that's us. It was great.

334
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: I mean, he wouldn't really talk.

335
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: To me, you know, like a hulking figure next to

336
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: Stephen Curtis. He is short. Yeah, in a good way. Though. Well,

337
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: maybe you could have said like, well, I'm six too,

338
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: so what's I mean? I guess he's he's normal size,

339
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: you know I'm saying that. You could have said like, oh,

340
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm sixty. You could have been like, well he's John

341
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: A cuff does that a lot because Johnny Cuff is

342
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: pretty short, and so whenever he stands next to like

343
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: a normal hype person, he looks really little and he goes, man,

344
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: they must have been seven foot tall. He always makes

345
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: a big joke of it. By the way, he was

346
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: so nice. Yeah, so he couldn't have been couldn't have

347
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: been nicer. And you went to your seat because I

348
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: didn't think I was gonna get us a moment with

349
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: us altogether. He was His call time was a little later.

350
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: The show had already started when his call time was,

351
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, man, because you guys got

352
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: there early. And I was like, well, we'll get to

353
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: meet Stephen Curs before the show, and then we didn't.

354
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: And then when he came in, you guys were already

355
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: in your seats, and so I just kind of walked

356
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: over and I was like hey, and you know, anyway,

357
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: he was so nice. He came in to meet my

358
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: wife and our friend Mary Beth, and he was talking

359
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: to he talked, He talked to us for like ten

360
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: minutes about the opry and I told him that, I said,

361
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: Curry goes. You know, Johnny has saying I will be

362
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: here at so many weddings, including our wedding and he goes,

363
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: oh boy, He goes, I hear from guys all the time.

364
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: I tell you, I tell you this. But he goes,

365
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: I hear from guys all the time. He goes, they're

366
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: mad at me about that song. I go. Why, he goes,

367
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: because it's so many words to remember, because every chorus

368
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: is different. It is, and you're at the most nervous

369
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: day of your life. He goes, I wrote this song,

370
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: but the choruses keep changing, and so it's a lot

371
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: of a lot of room for error in that song.

372
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: And he goes, that's my bad. And so he was

373
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: just so funny and so just like a super humble

374
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: guy and everything you would want. Yeah, it's one of

375
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: those like don't meet your heroes kind of you proves

376
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: it wrong because every now and again you meet one

377
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: of your heroes and you're like, all right.

378
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 2: Man, yeah and again he well, we had a mutual

379
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: friend who passed away that I'd written for, and uh

380
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 2: we talked about him a little bit and uh and

381
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 2: he was like, oh my gosh, I remember him talking

382
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 2: about you.

383
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: So that was kind of cool. Yeah, it was like, uh,

384
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: he hated you. It was like, yeah, that's a weird

385
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: thing to hear for a photo op. Yeah, no, but

00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you for that, and thanks for the picture.

00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: one from me from me at my house too. I

00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: got so like I had two printed. Yeah, and uh,

391
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: I thought you I thought maybe you could hang on

392
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: the wall on the set.

393
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 2: But this this wall is about to be filled with pictures.

394
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 2: Get ready. I believe it was get ready. Although I

395
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 2: really enjoyed the clean space in here. I think I

396
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 2: work pretty well in it. But I don't know.

397
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: So I'm in a manuscript. Have you seen the video

398
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: of the thing where the guy goes, uh, he's watching it.

399
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 1: I can't remember. It says like, remember why you do it?

400
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: He's looking at his computer and it's like a backwards

401
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: of a photo and it's like, remember why you do

402
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: what you do? And he's like he picks up the

403
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: photo and he looks at it and then it pans

404
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: around to show what the photo is and it just says,

405
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: irs on He's just like a big internal revenue service LEGO.

406
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 2: That's great, that's great. Yeah, I love it. Hey, John,

407
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: I thin it's about that time. Oh okay, good, it's

408
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:24,360
Speaker 2: my segment.

409
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: We call it.

410
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 2: They talked about that.

411
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: You know what.

412
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 2: Today, I picked up a book recently that's one of

413
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 2: my favorites and started reading it again because I don't

414
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 2: know if you could read this book too many times.

415
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 2: It's a ragamuffin gospel. Yeah, Brendan Manning, Brendon Manning, and

416
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people.

417
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 1: You told me that it was printed originally in nineteen ninety,

418
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: which surprised me because I remember it became real prevalent

419
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: in like two thousand ish. Yeah, right after Rich Mullins.

420
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: I think they really It has three follows pasted and

421
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: he was a big Brenda Manning disciple. He's on the cover. Yeah,

422
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: so that they kind of were like, once Rich Mullins

423
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 1: became a Brendan Manning guy, a lot of people started

424
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: becoming way more aware of his writings. And I think

425
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: so when they did the re release of the book

426
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: and then it became like a runaway bestseller. Yeah.

427
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 2: It has three copyright dates nineteen ninety, two thousand, two

428
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 2: thousand and five, so interesting. But I'm just gonna read.

429
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 2: He has a little pre a little preface called a

430
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 2: word before. I'm just telling you. I know this is

431
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 2: a little longer normal quote, but it is just worth it. Okay,

432
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 2: it's so good. The Ragamuffin Gospel was written with a

433
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 2: specific reading audience in mind. This book is not for

434
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 2: the super spiritual. It is not for muscular Christians who

435
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 2: have made John Wayne and not Jesus their hero. It

436
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 2: is not for academics who would imprison Jesus in the

437
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,719
Speaker 2: ivory Tower of exe Jesus. It is not for noisy,

438
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 2: feel good folks who manipulate Christianity into a naked appeal

439
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 2: to emotion. It is not for hooded mystics who want

440
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 2: magic in their religion. It is not for Allelujah Christians

441
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 2: who live only on the mountaintop and have never visited

442
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 2: the valley of desolation. It is not for the fearless

443
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 2: and tearless. It is not for red hot zealots who

444
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 2: boasts with the rich young ruler of the Gospels all

445
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 2: these commandments I've kept from my youth. It is not

446
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 2: for the complaisant, who hoist over their shoulders a tote

447
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 2: bag of honors, diplomas, and good works, actually believing they

448
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 2: have made it. It is not for legalists who would

449
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: rather surrender control of their souls to rules than run

450
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: the risk of living in union with Jesus. If anyone

451
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 2: is still reading along, the ragamuff And Gospel was written

452
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 2: for the bedraggled, beat up, and burnt out. It is

453
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 2: for the sorely burdened who are still shifting the heavy

454
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 2: suitcase from one hand to the other. It is for

455
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 2: the wobbly in weak need who don't know they have

456
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 2: it all together, who know they don't have it all together,

457
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 2: and are too proud to accept the handout of amazing grace.

458
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 2: It is for inconsistent, unsteady disciples whose cheese is falling

459
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 2: off their cracker. It is for poor, weak, sinful men

460
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 2: and women with hereditary faults and limited talent ones. It

461
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 2: is for earthen vessels who shuffle along on feet of clay.

462
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 2: It is for the bent and the Brews who feel

463
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 2: that their lives are a grave disappointment to God. It

464
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,199
Speaker 2: is for smart people who know they are stupid, and

465
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 2: honest disciples who admit they are scallowags. The Rag and

466
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 2: Muffin Gospel is a book I wrote for myself and

467
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 2: anyone who has grown weary and discouraged along the way

468
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 2: and Manning it's one of those like I can't just

469
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 2: put I couldn't pull one little part of that. But

470
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I think there's he talks about how in

471
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 2: the first chapter just the word grace, how it's been commercialized,

472
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 2: used twisted, and how it doesn't land in any sort

473
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 2: of way in the American Gospel and the way that

474
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 2: our ancestors would have heard it, especially you know, coming

475
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 2: into the Enlightenment, you know, and he goes into what

476
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 2: Martin Luther be goes. I believe the Enlightenment began when

477
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 2: Martin Luther made this specific revelation that he writes about

478
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 2: in terms of what grace was and the righteousness of

479
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 2: God is. And I just you know, I got to

480
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 2: speak Sunday to the church, and it was on low Sunday,

481
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 2: and low Sunday is you know that week between the

482
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 2: resurrection or the week immediately following the resurrection, so much happens.

483
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 2: You got the road to Mais, you got doubting Thomas.

484
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 2: I spoke about doubting Thomas on Sunday.

485
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: You know, you have all these these things.

486
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 2: That are posts the greatest hope of all mankind, of

487
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 2: all the universe. And yet there's still so much confusion

488
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 2: that the disciples are still hiding out. They're still worried

489
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 2: about being arrested, they're still doubting, they're still questioning. Jesus

490
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 2: is still not predictable. He's not with them all the time.

491
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 2: He just shows up randomly in rooms and other things.

492
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 2: He's still not like you would think if he's resurrected. Okay,

493
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 2: that's it, man, the game's over, you know, Like now

494
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 2: now the king has resided, everyone knows, and he doesn't

495
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: do that. He appears to a lot of people, but

496
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 2: not for the purpose of taking power like they wanted to,

497
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 2: ending the suffering of the world in particular for them,

498
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 2: the Roman rule and all those things. And I just

499
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 2: I think about how it was in that state that

500
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: he was going to send them to receive the Holy

501
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 2: Spirit and then go straight out to do the work.

502
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 2: There wasn't like now take three years and meditate and

503
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 2: all the things I've said, you know, like he sent

504
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 2: them out broken, like as Brenda Manning just described, he

505
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 2: sent out men and women like that. They weren't qualified.

506
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 2: And when I was younger, I talked about this a

507
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 2: little bit. There are just things you cannot learn through knowledge.

508
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 2: You can only learn through time and experience. And you

509
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 2: came there are just questions you can't even ask before experiences.

510
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 2: And it's not wrong, it's not bad, it's not It

511
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 2: doesn't mean you're a bad person. It just means that's

512
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 2: the nature of it. Life is meant to be filled

513
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 2: with experiences that teach you, you know. And it's only

514
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 2: now when I feel I mean, man, the reason I

515
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 2: read that is is I feel very much in alignment

516
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 2: with the descriptions, and it hurts. It's not the good

517
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 2: feeling that when you're young and you think, man, I

518
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 2: hope I get to, you know, grow in humility, or

519
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 2: I get to grow in my reliance and dependence upon Jesus. Yeah,

520
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 2: I've yet to, I think breakthrough sometimes to the joy

521
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 2: of that. But the Lord, I think deals with me

522
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 2: of the awareness of yes, that is happening. You actually

523
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 2: are so desperate you rely upon me way more than

524
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 2: you ever used to. You also, I mean, I also

525
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 2: have no sense of confidence in anything related to myself.

526
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 2: That's one I didn't see coming. I didn't know how

527
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 2: that would feel, right. But I just encourage anybody listening

528
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 2: that the more that we're I love that last line.

529
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 2: Who are smart enough to know that they're stupid?

530
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: Right?

531
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 2: I mean real emotional or spiritual I think inside intelligence, maturity.

532
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 2: I don't know what you want to call it, but

533
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 2: you know it can only come. And I forget which

534
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 2: theologian wrote about this. I think it was maybe John Calvin,

535
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 2: and we talked about no, no humble person can ever

536
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 2: truly be aware of it. For the moment they were

537
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 2: aware of it, it would now be something they could

538
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 2: boast about to themselves. So I'm not claiming. I don't

539
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,880
Speaker 2: feel like I've arrived at any sort of humility even

540
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 2: like at this point, it just feels like chaos a

541
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 2: lot around. And there's a prayer that was inscribed in

542
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 2: a cave they found from like the second century in

543
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 2: the desert, from the Desert Fathers and Mothers that just

544
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 2: says three times, the Lord Jesus, Son of God, have

545
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 2: mercy on me. And that's the prayer I find myself

546
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 2: praying the most legitimately sometimes in tears, just have mercy,

547
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 2: you know, through life and through where I am. And

548
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 2: I just did not expect to be late forties being there,

549
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 2: and I'm finding I think that I need to be

550
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 2: grateful for that. Yeah, you know, because I think you're

551
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 2: closer to the real thing whenever you're there.

552
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: When you get to your fifties like me, you'll see oh,

553
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 1: you'll just yeah, like now I got it.

554
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 2: There's a point that was easy.

555
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: Point I used to be where you are, John, Oh,

556
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 1: I know, I know exactly what you mean. No, I

557
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: love that line about wearily uh moving the suitcase from

558
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: hand to hand, Like that's a really interesting way to

559
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 1: talk about like the burden. It's really fascinating. Bent over,

560
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 1: the cheese is falling off your cracker. There's so many

561
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: great word pictures there.

562
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 2: I am also legitimately jealous of his ability to write.

563
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: Yes, they're like, dude, what the heck man? Save something

564
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: for the rest of it. I'm so smart. But it's

565
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: so accessible at the same time, that's what's really interesting

566
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: about it. It doesn't feel high falutin. It's very like

567
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: that's the whole point of that book, which is I mean,

568
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: it's a must read. It's a must read if you're

569
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 1: going to read that. Also, then, in relation to Rich Mullens,

570
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: go read An Arrow Pointing toward Heaven, which is kind

571
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 1: of a biography about Rich Mullends by one of his friends.

572
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: It's very word It's worth reading. It's a fascinating character

573
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: study on Rich in his belief system. I was talking

574
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: with a friend who toured with us, a new friend

575
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: who was presenting on Bath of Compassion. He's a Christian artist.

576
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: We were talking about Rich Mullins and his legacy in

577
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: the Christian music industry and what he would think of

578
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 1: today and all of those things. Yeah, political and otherwise.

579
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: But those were fascinating conversations. I was grateful to have

580
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: those with him. And we were just talking about Rich

581
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: and who basically took a valve poverty with some friends.

582
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: So his ministry, his musical royalties, is still supporting endeavors

583
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: that he started when he set up when he was alive,

584
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: because he basically gave himself like a thirty thousand dollars

585
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 1: a year salary along with some other friends and did

586
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: not make any more money than that the last like

587
00:26:58,560 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: ten years of.

588
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 2: His life, and all of this stuff blew up.

589
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so everything. When everything was happening, he knew like, oh,

590
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: this will be toxic to my soul if I don't

591
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: set this up, and so he did. So there's still

592
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: Indian reservations, and there's still I mean, amazing things that

593
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: are happening because of Rich Mullin's life. So anyway, lascinating, John,

594
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: Let's move forward with my segments. Let's do old jokes.

595
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: We tall it, we call it, we call it, joke

596
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: about that, We tall it. We'll get there, John. We're

597
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: a tough day. Listen, we had, we took a week off.

598
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: What do you want from us? John. A guy goes

599
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,959
Speaker 1: to the doctor and says, Doc, I can't get that

600
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: song She's a Lady out of my head. It keeps

601
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: repeating and repeating, and it just won't go away. The

602
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: doctor says, I think this sounds like a case of

603
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: Tom Jones syndrome. The guy says, I never heard of that.

604
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: Is it rare? The doctor says, it's not unusual. I

605
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: can't believe he didn't see that coming. Okay, it's not unusual.

606
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: That's a kind of a dated joke. It's an old

607
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: joke that makes us feel it, but I don't care.

608
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: It made me laugh. It made me laugh, yeah, John.

609
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: A man's looking for organic vegetables for his mother in law.

610
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: He looks in the protocyle we can't find and he

611
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: asked the stock boy, these veggies are from my mother

612
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: in law. Have they been sprayed with poisonous chemicals? This

613
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 1: talk boy says no, you'll have to do that yourself.

614
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: And finally, John, I did see that, since we're headed

615
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: down a dark path. A man who has just died

616
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: is brought to the mortuary wearing an expensive, beautifully tailored

617
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: black suit. By the way, this came from one of

618
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: our listeners, Paul Joseph, who follows us and used to

619
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: play with myle lefever. He came to my show and

620
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: he sends notes many times. It's great Grammy Award winning

621
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: keyboard player. Wow. And he sent me this and said

622
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: this may be a little too dark, but he sent anyway,

623
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: and I said, I'm reading it on the show. And

624
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: so he gets credit for this one. It's not his joke,

625
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: but he gets credit for the presenting of it. A

626
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: man who's just died is brought to the mortuary wearing

627
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: an expensive, beautifully tailored black suit. The mortician asked the

628
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: widow how she'd like her husband dressed for the viewing.

629
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: He mentions that he already looks quite nice in the

630
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: black suit. The widows says, no, he always looked best

631
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: in blue. She hands the mortician a blank check and says,

632
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: I don't care how much it costs, but just please

633
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: have my husband in a blue suit for the viewing.

634
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: The next day she returns for the wake, and it's

635
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: stunned to find him in a beautiful blue suit with

636
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: a subtle stripe for the viewing, perfectly fitted. She says,

637
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: this is incredible. You did an excellent job. How much

638
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: did it cost? The mortician hands back the blank check.

639
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: Nothing at all. What do you mean nothing? She has,

640
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: I insist on paying you. He smiles and says, well,

641
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: another gentleman of your husband's size was brought in shortly

642
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: after you left, and he happen to be wearing a

643
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: very nice blue suit. I asked his wife if she

644
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: minded him going to his grave wearing a black suit instead,

645
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: and she said it made no difference as long as

646
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: he looked nice. So at that point, he says, it

647
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: was really just a matter of switching the heads.

648
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 2: Oh dear, wow, it is dark.

649
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you had no idea where that was going. That's

650
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: called the old switcher root in punchline, and the old

651
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: head switcher root. Anyway, not my Joe everybody send your

652
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: cards letters to John at John. I'm just kidding, John,

653
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: let's do let's close with this week in history. We

654
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: call it talk about then just a matter of switching

655
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: the heads. See guys, it's yeah John. This week we

656
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: celebrate income tax Day. I don't know if we celebrated,

657
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: but IRIS Appreciation Day, if you will. The first US

658
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: income tax was signed into the law as a three

659
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: percent tax on incomes over eight hundred dollars, effective January first,

660
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: eighteen sixty one. It was repealed and replaced with another

661
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 1: income tax on eighteen sixty two. So this wasn't like

662
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: they were repealed it and was like we got to

663
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: get rid of this, it's corrupt. They were like, hey,

664
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: let's raise let's go ahead and keep it going, keep

665
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: that energy going. But I thought it was in So

666
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: this is obviously tax week for a lot of people,

667
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: most people. If you're American, hopefully you're not hope you're filing. Yeah, yeah,

668
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: go ahead and file. Yeah, don't listen. Even if you're

669
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: Wesley Snipes, they'll throw you in jail.

670
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta fight. They don't miss around, they.

671
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: Don't mess around there. But anyway, ye, three percent tax

672
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: on incomes, and as we know, it stayed that level.

673
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: We've kept it under control. The government has shown a remarkable,

674
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: you know, some temperance in that area, and they've not

675
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: gone overboard at all. And I think they're to be

676
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:34,239
Speaker 1: commended for that. Thank you federal government. John this week. Oh,

677
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: by the way, I love what they've chosen to spend

678
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: all the money on, don't you think. I mean it's

679
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: really Yeah, it's exactly what I would have wanted. Yeah, listen,

680
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: healthcare would be great, but Lois could let's get some

681
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: missiles in this thing. Let's get some more missiles. You

682
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: can't have another of those. John. This week. Nineteen fifty five,

683
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: Ray Kroc opened his first McDonald's franchise franchise in De Plaine, Illinois.

684
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: Is it desk planes? The plane? I it looks like

685
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: desk planes. The plane looks like des moines. But with

686
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: the plane. His first day sales were three hundred and

687
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: sixty six dollars and twelve cents. This is nineteen fifty five.

688
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: It was the ninth restaurant in the chain started in

689
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: nineteen forty by the brothers Dick McDonald and Maurice mack

690
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: McDonald in San Berneo, California. Kroc had met the McDonald's

691
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: brothers while trying to sell them multi mixers, I guess

692
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: for their sheiks. After seeing their operation, he decided to

693
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: open one of his own, and eventually bought out the

694
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: brothers and built McDonald's into the hamburger Empire. It is

695
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: now you've seen the founder write with Michael Keaton. Interesting movie,

696
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: fascinating movie, kind of weird, like an anti hero kind

697
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 1: of a presentation of that history. Yeah, so's it's not

698
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: all it's not all shiny, which I find interesting when

699
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: you did see these biographies biopics. The McDonald brothers introduced

700
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: the Speedy Service system in nineteen forty eight. The original

701
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: McDonald's mascot was a chef hat on top of a

702
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: hamburger called Speedy. Speedy was replaced in nineteen sixty two

703
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: by the Golden Arches. The clown Ronald McDonald was then

704
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: introduced in nineteen sixty five. So the clown was not

705
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: the original. Yeah, I'm not sure if I'm it's kind

706
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: of creepy. I think we find clowns a different thing

707
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: for clowns.

708
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I think back then clowns were like a clown.

709
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: Let's get kids involved. Yeah, let's get our kids out here,

710
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: like happy meals and stuff. This clown, Yeah, get this

Speaker 2: Very often terms.

725
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: A shame associated with like being a part of it,

726
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: like a corporation that's made it to that level, and

727
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: you go, oh, they're a soulless whatever. But then sometimes

728
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: you go, yeah, but I mean like people act like

729
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,320

Speaker 1: I realized this. His name was Masabuomi a Sona. He

769
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: was the only Japanese passenger and he survived. He was

770
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 1: the only Japanese passenger board and he survived. But he

771
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: was ostracized the rest of his life in Japan as

772
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: dishonorable and a coward for not going down with the ship.

773
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: This was like he was the captain. I get, if

774
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: you're the captain, you go down with the ship. That's

775
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: kind of the weird misnomer. But this is just a

776
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: dude and his cult. Like I get honor culture to

777
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: a degree, but wow, you survive and you get home

778
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: and they go, you should be dead. Yeah, did someone

779
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: else not survive? Who should have? Because we need more

780
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: information women. It did not sound like it in this sentence.

781
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: But maybe there's more to the story where he jumped

782
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,479
Speaker 1: on a lifeboat and shouldn't have been.

783
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 2: If he took some little kid's seat right and they died,

784
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 2: then I can understand to some extent.

785
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: I need to know more. I'm gonna we're gonna find out,

786
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna we're gonna touch base about it. Next week.

787
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna send somebody's gonna send five emails about it. Actually, yeah,

788
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 1: that's good.

789
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 2: We like those emails.

790
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 1: We do like them, and please send those to Hello

791
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: I talk about that podcast dot com. But what a

792
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: weird thing to survive and then be, like you said,

793
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: if there was nothing else to the story, If it's

794
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: just like I survived, I happen to be Japanese and

795
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: now I get to be this guy like, oh, you survive,

796
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 1: well you shouldn't have, Like what a bummer that would

797
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: be anyway.

798
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 2: Story yesterday that they're still exploring the Titanic wreckage and

799
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 2: the technology keeps getting greater and greater. Where they found

800
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 2: recently there was this I think it was a brass,

801
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 2: gold copper, some sort of really important statue that was

802
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 2: a part of the ship. Sure, and it's they saw

803
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 2: it on some video in like nineteen eighty three or

804
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 2: something for a minute, and then it's been lost since

805
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 2: the eighties. And they found it again in the wreckage,

806
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 2: so they haven't pulled it up.

807
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. They're going down with the drones or

808
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: something like that. Robots a robot, but they know a

809
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:39,760
Speaker 1: seed drone. I don't know what you call those submersible Yeah, John.

810
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 1: This week, seventeen seventy, the first rubber eraser was used.

811
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 1: English chemist Joseph Priestley referred to rubber referring to rubber,

812
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: described it in a footnote, I have seen a substance

813
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: excellently adapted to the purpose of wiping from paper the

814
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 1: mark of black lead pencil, thus discovering the use of

815
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: rubber as an eraser. Prior to that eraser, bread crumbs

816
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 1: were generally used as erasers. Did you know this from

817
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: your search? Of you're a writer, you should know everything

818
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 1: that's been used as erasers over the bread crumbs.

819
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 2: I don't write with pencils right now, so.

820
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: I guess they used quills too, but I mean I

821
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,399
Speaker 1: guess the reason lead pencils And they're like, how can

822
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: we I need to redo? Yeah, and then they go,

823
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: how about some bread? Yeah, rub some bread on it,

824
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: Rub some bread on it, you guys. Yeah, And then

825
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:31,240
Speaker 1: they discovered that. Later that year, English engineer Edward Nahirn

826
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 1: developed the first widely used marketed rubber eraser. So and

827
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 1: I get we still use them. So that's like one

828
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 1: of those like seventeen seventy we've kind of yeah we've

829
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 1: not really you nailed it. You nailed it, but most

830
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: people use computers now in pens, we use pencils, and

831
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: there's even erasable pens. Remember the first erasable pens eraser? Mate?

832
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 2: Not only do I but yes, yeah, yeah that.

833
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: Wasn't now that technology. Yeah, I don't know, I don't

834
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: know how it works. It's just really crappy ink probably

835
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: probably phades really easy. It's just awfu link it was

836
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: going to erase itself anyway. Hope you didn't write anything

837
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 1: you wanted to refer back to, that was my will. Nope, nope,

838
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: not anymore, eraser, mate, John. This week, nineteen sixty four,

839
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: the Ford Mustang, the new sports car. The Mustang officially

840
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: went on sale.

841
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 2: Technically it would have been the nineteen sixty four and

842
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:25,320
Speaker 2: a half Mustang.

843
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: I guess that's what they call it. Yeah, at a

844
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: base price of if you.

845
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 2: Want to guess, Mustang is sixty four and a half, Yeah,

846
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 2: six thousand dollars, two three hundred and sixty eight dollars.

847
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: And I looked it up, so we'll we'll go over

848
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 1: there in a minute. We'll go there in a minute.

849
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: But it sold on it. It sold an industry record

850
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: of four hundred and seventeen thousand units its first year.

851
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: It was originally intended to be a mid engine two

852
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: cedar roadster, but that changed when the sales of the

853
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: Thunderbird increased after adding a back seat, so they quickly

854
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 1: kind of remodified and added made it a back seat,

855
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: you know, more of that. So because they wanted pay

856
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: and this could be a family are if we really

857
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: in two thousand, three hundred and sixty eight dollars in

858
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty four, I looked it up. Is equivalent in

859
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 1: purchasing power to approximately John, you want to guess what

860
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: that car would be today, sixteen thousand, twenty four thousand,

861
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: almost twenty five thousand, twenty four thousand, nine hundred sixty

862
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: two dollars, So it's a twenty five. But again, if

863
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: there was a car, there is a Mustang now, but

864
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: it's whatever the baky or whatever the Mustang is now.

865
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: Most cars now are like forty thousand dollars. Like, it's

866
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 1: hard to find a twenty five thousand dollars minimum. That's

867
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Twenty five thousand dollars car for a Mustang. Yeah,

868
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 1: it'd be a pretty pretty good deal. Yeah, number one,

869
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: big Mustang guy. Yeah, that's why it made me. I'd

870
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: brother had a sixty seven.

871
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 2: You know, when my car broke down, he let me

872
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 2: drive that must senior year a Candy Apple read sixty

873
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 2: seven Mustang he drove, and you know what, And I've

874
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 2: done a lot of old cars.

875
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 1: It was great.

876
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 2: It looked great.

877
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: Yeah.

878
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 2: Also, it might run out of gas on quart of

879
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 2: a tank. You know, old cars do weird stuff. You're

880
00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 2: pushing it up a hill. It had some bottom out

881
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 2: on speed bumps.

882
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 1: But it's older by then, so it has it was

883
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: thirty years old by that it looked amazing.

884
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

885
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: No, my brother now has one ook a sixty six.

886
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: I think always has.

887
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 2: Like okay, Christine, Like I went his garage over Easter

888
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 2: and looked at it again. I go look at every time.

889
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: My brother in law has a mid sixties early sixties Corvette.

890
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: Oh wow, and it's like perfect. Yeah. I think he's

891
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: never washed it. That's how wow. Like he wipes it

892
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 1: with a cloth diaper and it's that. It's that keeps

893
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: it under a thing. And he drives it twice a

894
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: year and parades and stuff and goes to car shows

895
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:36,319
Speaker 1: with it. But that's it.

896
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 2: My brother is like, you know they're empty nesting now yeah,

897
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 2: and he's like, yeah, now we take the top. It's

898
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 2: a convertible.

899
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 1: Oh and they actually go we'll go drive out school,

900
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 1: go out driving in town and get some together and

901
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,240
Speaker 1: then you get asking, we got ice cream all over? Yeah?

902
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: Oh well John this week. Uh. Fourteen fifty two, Leonardo

903
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: DaVinci was born. He was an Italian artist.

904
00:41:59,719 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 2: Uh.

905
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 1: His works include the Last Supper in the Mona Lisa.

906
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: But he made the list because he's also the discover

907
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: of capillary action in fourteen ninety and the inventor of

908
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 1: roller bearings in fourteen ninety six. Now listen, it's a

909
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 1: renaissance guy. Yeah, I knew that. Like, wasn't there some

910
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 1: drawings of da Vinci that helped with like flight human

911
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: flight too, and like that's crazy. Yeah, there's crazy stuff

912
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 1: that he did.

913
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, by glider.

914
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 1: But he discovered that capillary action I think is the

915
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: action of blood climbing up a like a straw, Like

916
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: it will move. I think that's what capillary action is.

917
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 1: It's not just the movement within the vein. I think

918
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: it's outside. I think that's what capilary action is. Like

919
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: when they take blood from you and they put those

920
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: little straws against the wound, that it climbs up. I

921
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,399
Speaker 1: think that's what capillary action is. I could be wrong,

922
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: but anyway, he's discovering a lot of stuff. Yeah, and go, well,

930
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: great Tom Hanks movie. She's just merging culture into amalcalm.

931
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: It's a mess. We apologize, John finally, in a more

932
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: and more whimsical tone. This week nineteen eighty, Winnie the

933
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: Pooh went on trial nineteen eighty You ready for this one?

934
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,720
Speaker 1: A Disneyland character a character actor appeared in court wearing

935
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: a Winnie the Pooh costume. A family claim that the

936
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: actor had purposely struck their daughter while in the park,

937
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: causing bruising and headaches that lasted for months. The actor

938
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 1: claimed the girl had been acting out and running to

939
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: attack him when he accidentally hit her with his ear.

940
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: The actor appeared to court the Winnie the Pooh here

941
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 1: ye his real ear, his Winny the Pooh ear, and

942
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 1: that's why he appeared in court wearing his costume and

943
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: remained in character while testifying, which had to be amazing.

944
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 1: This is pre court TV. But I mean, is he

945
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: trying to preserve the kids? He had to do the voice.

946
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: He remained in character while testifying, Oh my, only responding

947
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 1: to questions with gestures and dancing. It was demonstrated that

948
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: it would be impossible to do with the family claimed

949
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: while wearing the costume, and the actor was found not guilty. Wow,

950
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,240
Speaker 1: that's like some Perry Mason stuff. That's like some Johnny

951
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 1: cockran if the pet fits? Yeah? Anyway, he man, that's amazing.

952
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: He wore the costume and with gestures and dancing, stating

953
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: character the whole time, and then the lawyers were able

954
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: to kind of wrangle kind of a not guilty verdict.

955
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 2: I can tell you something. You know, what's going to

956
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 2: save America. We need to keep our character. Had a

957
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 2: little more gestures and dancing.

958
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: Well, that's all we need. Dancing. Won't that rehab the gestures?

959
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: Right now we got too many gests. Itsnail the esterj

960
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: We need some happiness. We need what we need. I mean, gosh,

961
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:09,280
Speaker 1: there's a great aa melon as Winnie the Pooh quote

962
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: that I thought of, and I think of it now.

963
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: You know. We took out, We took Adam Bush out

964
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: on the road with us this past week, you know.

965
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: And I don't take a lot of openers out. It's

966
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 1: just not been the thing that I've been able to do.

967
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: But now I'm starting to do it more. And I

968
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 1: think about the community that I found in comedy as well.

969
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 1: You know what did to open Mic and or good

970
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: twinin did this show? And run into Greg Warren and

971
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: you run into all these people, and you hang out

972
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: with Amber Autry, who's an up and coming star, and

973
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: you just go And I was thinking about this. Winnie

974
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 1: the Pooh a quote and you've probably seen this graphic.

975
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: It's Winny the Poo and Piglet, and Winnie the Pooh says,

976
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: or maybe when Piglet says, twenty the Pooh, what, what

977
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: do you think is more important? The journey or the destination?

978
00:45:55,760 --> 00:46:01,760
Speaker 1: And Piglet says that to Pooh, and Pooh says the company. Wow,

979
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 1: isn't that great? Yeah? So that and that's the thing.

980
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: We live in a country that's so driven to like

981
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: hustle culture has just taken everything and so even when

982
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: we achieve something, we're looking to the next achievement and

983
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 1: so literally that's that's the the false duality we're presented with.

984
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: Is is it the journey or the destination and the achievement?

985
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 1: And the truth is it is neither. Because at the

986
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:23,840
Speaker 1: end of your life, you're going to think about the

987
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: people around you. You're going to think about who did

988
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: I surround myself with while I was chasing these dumb things.

989
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: And so I'm telling you, man that that hits me.

990
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: I mean, that's one of those like that's good that

991
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: you could build a whole philosophy on that.

992
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 2: Literally just rewrote an old book I wrote in my

993
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:40,799
Speaker 2: head whenever you said that.

994
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: So, yeah, I'm sorry because I probably probably need some

995
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: revisions ever released it. Yeah, okay, there's still time. There

996
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 1: is still time, John, Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I'm

997
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 1: glad to have you in my company. John. Not to

998
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: get so sentimental on you. I don't want to. Let's
