Speaker 2: Short have become lifelong friends and still tour together, and

28
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: they do not speak to Chevy Chase. So draw on

29
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: conclusions about Yeah.

30
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: That's hard though, because you watch it. It's such a

31
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: childhood lake.

32
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,720

00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: no idea, They have no idea.

35
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: The acrimony.

36
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 2: I want to say, I already said this to you

37
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 2: before we started. But you're bundled up like you're dying.

38

Speaker 2: low forties today, it's just rained.

41
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: Oh I'm sorry, there's quite the heat wave.

42
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: That's not enough to justify what you're doing. Let me

43
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: just say, I just can't. I can't. I came to

44
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: church on Sunday. I was home, thank God, John's preaching,

45
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: and I saw the teaching pastor of our church get

46
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: up to preach in what you're wearing now, a toboggan.

47
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: You're wearing a skull cap or whatever what it beanie. Yeah,

48
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: you're preaching in a beanie.

49
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was fantastic.

50
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: Can you imagine what your father, your grandfather, I don't know,

51
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: lifelong you're a third generation minister. Yeah, what would they

52
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: have said? Just hats in church in general. But I

53
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 2: had on the preacher.

54
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: I don't think my dad would have cared. You don't know,

55
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: my grandfather probably would have.

56
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 2: You'd been like what you're older people always are like, well,

57
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: half the heat in your body escapes through the head

58
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 2: like that used to be, remember that whole thing, and

59
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 2: you gotta cover the head and all the heat in

60
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 2: your body escapes through your head like it's an open window.

61
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 1: Or something like chimney or something. Yeah.

62
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: Uh, but yeah, you you were full on like you

63
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: were flouting convention. It's what you were doing. You know.

64
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: I thought before I got up there, I thought, I

65
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: wonder if want to wear this hat? And then it

66
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 1: just stayed on. It felt right, you know, I don't.

67
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I couldn't receive anything you were saying.

68
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: But when you speak from the belief that probably no

69
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: one's going to hear anything you say, it you.

70
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: Want whatever, put on one of those pope hats if

71
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 2: you want. That's what point say.

72
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: Is this is the beginning of a different kind of liturgy.

73
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: There used to be a comedian. He would talk about,

74
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: you know, why the pope, where's that point? He hat

75
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 2: and he goes it's because sometimes you get like really

76
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: tough theological questions like hey, uh, what happens when we die?

77
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: And he's like, pick a number, like what pick a number?

78
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: And that he goes four. He takes off that, he

79
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: goes one, two, three, four and flips over the Remember

80
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: those It felt like only girls knew how to make

81
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: those in school. Do you think that Sadie's generation knows

82
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: about those?

83
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think I think she's made something like that,

84
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: like in middle school or late elementary. Yeah.

85
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: Cootie catchers is that what they were called? I don't

86
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: know what are these things had a name. They had

87
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 2: a lot of pejorative names that were probably borderline. I

88
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 2: remember her in here them called cootie catchers. I don't

89
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: but you'd go, you know, pick a number, pick a color,

90
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: p U R P L, pick a number, and then you're.

91
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: Stupid flip, yeah you're going to get married.

92
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. We need more things like that that are like

93
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: tactile and not digital. We need an analog, you know,

94
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,119
Speaker 2: solution to like boredom, you need more analog boredem solution

95
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: to my daughter.

96
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: And I last night, I convinced her she's going to

97
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: watch five documentaries yeah, on the on the digital world

98
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: over the next three months, like Social Dilemma and these

99
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: others where I was like, hey, you're almost eighteen, and

100
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: it's kind of like smoking. If you're going to choose

101
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: to smoke, I want you to educate yourself on the

102
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: dangers of it. And then she was like, yeah, she's

103
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: so reasonable. She was like, yeah, that's great.

104
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: What if she watches and just becomes like radicalized and

105
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: she's like, not only am I giving up social media,

106
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: but everyone that's on it is.

107
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: I would love it. I would I would fund.

108
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: It to become like a huge activist against it.

109
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: I would start a nonprofit and make our dreams come

110
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 1: true the Sadie Fund, Yeah, money for Yeah.

111
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: So, speaking of people that are in dire straits, we

112
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: still have people in Nashville without power in cutting. Our

113
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: friend by Brian Bates, who I talked about last week,

114
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 2: and he's on he's on the road and he's his

115
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: family's Luckily they have somewhere to go, and that's great.

116
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: But like some people, they couldn't even get into a hotel.

117
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: All the hotels are all the hotels are taken, you know,

118
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 2: so it's like what do you do? And luckily some

119
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: people had somewhere to go anyway, and he was one

120
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 2: of the lucky ones. But we were having a conversation

121
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: about all the trees falling in the neighborhood. He goes,

122
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: we wake up and I've seen videos talk about this

123
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 2: that it was like a war zone. They go they

124
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 2: were hearing like far away, like gunshot sounds, and then

125
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 2: close up. He goes, I was like, we got to

126
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 2: get out of here. And then they got trapped in

127
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,679
Speaker 2: their neighborhood. They couldn't even get They got a hotel,

128
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 2: but they could not get to the hotel because it

129
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: was closed off on one end with a fire truck

130
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 2: that was blocking on one end with down trees. They

131
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 2: had to go back to the house and wait it

132
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: out until they cleared the down tree for a few

133
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: hours and then they leave. But he goes, he goes,

134
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: I've had more problems with trees. He has another like

135
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 2: rental property, and he was like, I had to go

136
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: cut up this tree that fell against the house or

137
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: on the property line of another person. And it was

138
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 2: like three thousand dollars whatever it was to cut up

139
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: this tree. And I go, yeah, you know, I don't

140
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: have trees. We bought a house in a subdivision in

141
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen and we made the decision not to plant trees.

142
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 2: I go, I just don't I'm not a tree guy.

143
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: We planted a couple of weeping willows that would suck

144
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 2: up like a natural spring was in our backyard, but

145
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 2: other than that, we're not like, oh, we gotta have

146
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: some mature trees here and put a tire swing. We're

147
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 2: just not. I don't want to rake leaves all year

148
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 2: and then have to clean up my gutters. And then

149
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 2: Brian goes he was so funny he had them. He goes, yeah,

150
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: what is that? He goes, why do we even have trees?

151
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 2: He goes, what good do they do? I go, I

152
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: don't know, oxygen. He goes, yeah, but other trees are

153
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: out there for that, Like, what are what are my

154
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 2: trees doing except costing us money? Yeah, it's a you know,

155
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: it's a salient point right now. Trees are taking a

156
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 2: hit right now as far as pr for if you're

157
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,239
Speaker 2: the pr for if you're a big tree, you're taking

158
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: a hit right now, big tree.

159
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will say the Nashville Electric Service is taking

160
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: a big hit right now.

161
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: Well. Part of what they cut, I think was cutting

162
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 2: away from power lines. You know that you have those

163
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 2: big upright machines that go buy and cut the trees

164
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: away from power lines. The big spinning blade.

165
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: It's basically like a big back not a back hoe.

166
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 2: It's basically it looks like a deck of a mower. Yes,

167
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: but it's on its side and it cuts away. And

168
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 2: evidently they cut back on that. They're learning a.

169
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: Lot of it's a vertical bushog yet yeah.

170
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 2: And which is my nickname in high school on the

171
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 2: basketball team. Give it to him and gone bushop and

172
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: so I'm just rooted my way in. But uh yeah,

173
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 2: so they cut back on that evidently. So yeah, they're

174
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: taking a hit for sure. I hate that everything gets political.

175
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 2: It's so dumb because I mean it's like we have

176
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: a common problem and then everybody wants to point of that,

177
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: well you cut funding, Well no, you did this, Well, no,

178
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: you privatize the infrastructure, like what happened in Texas years

179
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: ago with the ice storm, the one where like Ted

180
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: Kruz just fled to Cancun in the middle of it

181
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: or whatever, and that was a big mass, like I heard,

182
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: I read a lot of stories about that, about how

183
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: like Texas has like a privatized.

184
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: Grid.

185
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so that was part of it. Is like

186
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: it was just like it wasn't prepared. So this whole

187
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: idea of like government just needs to stay out all

188
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: all of it, it's like, well, that doesn't always go

189
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: good either.

190
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard because I think a lot about the

191
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: things downstream, both biblically and in America constitutionally, from where

192
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: things started and where they were found in the early

193
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: church or our early country, and very separately do I

194
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: think of these things. But in both cases, in modern times,

195
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 1: it's really difficult to scale always what the intent was

196
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: of either original scripture or original constitutional writings or whatever,

197
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: because you just can't you can't always see what it

198
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: was going to be. So I mean the vision of

199
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: you know, someone this week they're like, you know that

200
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: private companies can do things better than the government can

201
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: do in a lot of a lot of ways. But

202
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: when you're talking now, you know, a population that's one

203
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: thousand percent greater than when you started with that viewpoint

204
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: kind of thing. You know, It's like there's no right

205
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: or wrong way necessarily to do it, and there's going

206
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: to be upsides and downsides to both.

207
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, unintended consequences, corruption, breed. I mean, yeah, I think

208
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: a lot of it's like, and we need to do

209
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 2: better at this as a culture. But like I we

210
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 2: should always assume when something happens that it was out

211
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: of stupidity rather than malice, because I think when we

212
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: think we think everything is out of malice or wanting

213
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: to burn something down, we're just it's dehumanizing thought, really

214
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 2: it is.

215
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: I thought that thought the other day, like if we

216
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 1: could just all come back to the place, like I

217
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: always have these fantastical conversations or scenarios in my head,

218
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: fantastical orre I'm sitting down with someone, Yeah, and I'm

219
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: able to establish some set of guidelines you both agree

220
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: to of, Like, Okay, we're gonna play a different kind

221
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: of twenty questions, and the rule is going to be

222
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: I get to ask you where you start. If you want,

223
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: you get to ask me twenty straight questions that I

224
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: just have to answer as they are, and there's no

225
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: arguing there's no like like it has to be a

226
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: sentence or to and that's it. There can't be. But

227
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: but it can't be just answer the question right and

228
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: and you can do the same for me, and let's

229
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: see where we get after doing that. And like for me,

230
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: it's always like, Okay, we're gonna watch this video clip

231
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: of this person that said this that you defend, and

232
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: I just want to know do you agree with what

233
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: they said? Just yes or no? Do you agree like

234
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: you don't? We can get you can still love them

235
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: just for right now? Was that sentiments something that you

236
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: think was agreeable to say to your faith or agreeable

237
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: to okay? And in my mind there's still opportunity for

238
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: some sort of civil discourse. But I have to create

239
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: again a fantasy. I have to create like because it's

240
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: not on it's not And you have to get someone

241
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: to the place where they would trust you enough.

242
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: And I do the same thing.

243
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: Sure, put the thing up there you think that I

244
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: agree with, and I'll go no, I don't or whatever,

245
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: or sure this was you know, but that somehow, some

246
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: sort of mutual validation might lead to change. But I

247
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: don't know.

248
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 2: Is it still about the trees? I'm going to put

249
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 2: a video up here about what the Trees did. I

250
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: want you to say whether you you agree. I want

251
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 2: you to say whether or not you are pro tree

252
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 2: anti tree.

253
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: I think everyone knows my position here with it, but

254
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: I don't like to get tree political. You know it's

255
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: politrical Tree.

256
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, John, I think it's about time.

257
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: I think we need to get out of this we did.

258
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: We need we need a word from a few Listen,

259
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 2: we need a word from a few of our fine

260
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 2: sponsors who help us keep the lights on over here.

261
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 2: A lot of people's lights are still not back on. Yeah,

262
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 2: and we need to keep our lights on. And one

263
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 2: of the ways it ads and so we want to

264
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: thank our sponsors. And here's the work for a few

265
00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: of our fine sponsors.

266
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: They we're back.

267
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 2: So I had a moment I wanted to tell this story.

268
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 2: This is kind of like one of those like stories

269
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 2: that you you kind of want to take to your grave.

270
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 2: But then I think, you know what, here we are,

271
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 2: we got a podcast. I'll tell the story. So I

272
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 2: get back from I was away with Nate doing shows

273
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: and we did shows in Saint Louis, we did shows

274
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: in Toledo, and then Knoxville was canceled for the ice storm.

275
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 2: So we were in limbo and we can't get back,

276
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: and so Nate had to be in California. So I

277
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 2: was offered the opportunity to go home Miss Toledo show

278
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 2: try to get ahead of the storm, and or I

279
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 2: would kind of be stuck with them and they were

280
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: going to go to like Vegas and hang out a

281
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 2: couple of days. Wow, I didn't go.

282
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: To calvoid the weather on this side of the country.

283
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 2: And to get to get to the west, yeah, get

284
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 2: out west. And I was like, let me call my wife,

285
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 2: Well Curry stuck in Knoxville with her family, and so

286
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: she goes, go whatever, just get somewhere warm. I go

287
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: and it's not month. It was warm in Vegas. It

288
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 2: was like fifty degrees. But I go, Okay, So that's

289
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 2: where I was. So while this was happening, I was there.

290
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 2: So then I had to come back. Well, my I

291
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 2: left my car at like the lot at the airport,

292
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 2: out in the open. It was completely encased. It would

293
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 2: look it looked like it had been hermetically sealed in ice.

294
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 2: It wasn't like the windshield was. It was like the

295
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 2: whole car because of the freezing rod like an inch

296
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 2: of ice, and I've got notes in John, I'm sorry,

297
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 2: was supposed to come meet me and bring a scraper.

298
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: I said, let me see if I can get my

299
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: car going otherwise all this have you take me home? Well,

300
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: you had stuff going on. You said I can't make it.

301
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 2: Now I go, hey, I'll find I'll figure it out.

302
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 2: So I get to the car and I realized, like,

303
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 2: this is the this is worst than I've ever seen

304
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 2: a car look. But then I kind of like hammered

305
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 2: my hand down on the ice and it broke like

306
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 2: like you know, peanut brittle, and I start peeling off

307
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 2: sheets of it that are like four by four sheets

308
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 2: of this stuff. It coming off in pieces. I go, oh, well,

309
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 2: maybe we're good. But then I get to the windshield

310
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: and it's like some of it came off and some

311
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 2: of it didn't. And so I'm looking around in my

312
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: car for anything. I'm looking at my you know, old

313
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 2: credit cards. I'm trying to like get underneath there, because

314
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: you can peel it off if you can get underneath it. Yeah,

315
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: it was just coming off clean. And then I got

316
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 2: to a point where I could not get it, and

317
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: there was a big chunk, and I was like, I

318
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 2: can't leave like this. There's too much of my windshield

319
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 2: blocked by this ice for it to be safe. And

320
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 2: so I remember that we bought this handle thing for

321
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 2: Curry's dad off the internet that like hooks onto where

322
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 2: your doorcatch is in the inside and it helps old

323
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: people like get up because it's like a handle and

324
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 2: it's like rubber on one end and then on the

325
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: other end it's like a hook. And I was like,

326
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: I just I took that thing and I started like

327
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: beating on the ice on my windshield to.

328
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: Like whatever go away to break your windshield.

329
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 2: And so I'm like clan, clink, clink to try not

330
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 2: to go so deep, but it was cracking and then

331
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 2: float like and I peel a little bit off it

332
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 2: and I didn't get very far with it, but I

333
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 2: must have hit that ice like forty times with that

334
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 2: thing that whatever that device was. And then I'm looking

335
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 2: at it later on I finally got home, and then

336
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 2: I'm looking at it later on in my house and

337
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 2: I take the little bottom part of it has a

338
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: little like slip cover thing on the bottom of it,

339
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 2: a little piece of it missing. I'll show it to

340
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 2: you in a minute. And I realized it's like a

341
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 2: razor blade there, and I go, oh, this is like

342
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 2: one of those things that's on those devices that you

343
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 2: keep in your car for like an emergency to cut

344
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 2: your seat belt off of That's what that's for. And

345
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: then I realized, oh, the end of the thing that

346
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 2: I was hitting the windshield with was to break a windshield.

347
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 2: I was just thinking, this is what it is. So

348
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 2: this is built to hook on your thing, and that's

349
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 2: why we bought it. But it's a freaking windshield.

350
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: I was just thinking, it's a good thing you didn't

351
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: have that thing that breaks the windshield. And that's me

352
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: and I'm from the outside windshield. It's pitch black and

353
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: it's midnight, and I'm panicking because it's four degrees and you.

354
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 2: Just and I am hammering. I am just like, oh

355
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 2: with all my might, and so literally like the ice

356
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 2: is gone. But there are little marks. There are like

357
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 2: little marks in my windshield on the like the plastic

358
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 2: whatever holds the glass part together. Wow, there's little perforations

359
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 2: like twenty of them that are just there now. And

360
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: I mean I came so close to it. I mean

361
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 2: it was freezing cold. There's no reason it didn't shatter. Yeah,

362
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: but that would have made a different night. I probably

363
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 2: would have been mad at you. Like I'm not mad

364
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 2: at you. Should look, you had stuff going on, but

365
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 2: like if I broke my own windshield because you weren't there, John,

366
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 2: I don't think the podcast goes on.

367
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: Now I canna sell you something. You are swinging a

368
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: device made for breaking windshield. I didn't really think I

369
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: can be.

370
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: I don't think I looked at how pointy it was,

371
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 2: but I mean it's look and it's even got an

372
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 2: arrow that says, like this way, and in case you

373
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 2: didn't know like I was doing this, you know, like

374
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 2: the arrows to tell you, like I this was. So

375
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: if you have one of these, it has multiple uses, right,

376
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 2: and one of them is to break your windshield, So

377
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 2: don't use it to chip ice on.

378
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: I might say that's probably the primary use.

379
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: Well, in an emergency you're trying to break out of

380
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 2: your windshield. Not really, I was trying to break into

381
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,239
Speaker 2: my own car evidently from the outside.

382
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: Are you gonna call safe light repair, safe light replace?

383
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 2: No, I don't think it's that bad because I noticed

384
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,479
Speaker 2: it after I took it through the wash and everything.

385
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 2: I can still see them if I really look, but

386
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 2: it's not really bad. Yeah, but I just thought to myself,

387
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 2: I wonder how close I was?

388
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: Super close?

389
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 2: Yeah?

390
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: I think I was pretty close to breaking my windshield. Yeah,

391
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: I don't wonder it. Does it break windshields the same

392
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: way it breaks side windows?

393
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 2: No, I think it's probably like it's spider web and

394
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 2: then you still got to push it all out. But

395
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 2: it would have been Yeah, of course it was freezing Colton.

396
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: Who knows how it would have broken if it really broke,

397
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 2: It might have just you know, But that was it.

398
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 2: That was one of those like Johnny's an idiot moments.

399
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 2: But luckily I got away with it. I was able

400
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 2: to get home.

401
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 1: And you need to take a car cover with you

402
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: when you park in those places, you know.

403
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 2: Whether well who knew was gonna be. That's a once

404
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 2: in a generation ice storm that we just had. Man,

405
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, dude, I.

406
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: Got one of those from TIMU though, that covers the windshield.

407
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 2: Do you wraps around? Yeah? Yeah?

408
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: Do you ten bucks or something?

409
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 2: But when would I have known to put it on?

410
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: You knew whether was coming from ye?

411
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 2: I didn't know. I didn't know, I knew. I thought

412
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 2: i'd have like a slushy icy windshield.

413
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would use a scrape covered for that too.

414
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: Who cares the severity.

415
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 2: It's like those people that have the shades that are

416
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 2: interior doesn't get too hot. Yeah, you have to remember

417
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 2: you have to be that kind of person though, the

418
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 2: pop up shade guy. Yeah, you're gonna do it every time.

419
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 2: It's always in there. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

420
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: It's always in your way. But you're car a passenger.

421
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 2: You're hitting him in the head with it while you try.

422
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: To lasts so much longer. I have a thirty year

423
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,479
Speaker 1: old truck and the dash is still not cracked.

424
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 2: Wow, look at you do you armor all that thing?

425
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: Oh you just heard together with dust and yeah.

426
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 2: It's like yeah, my old t one.

427
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 1: Just keeps going, telling you what.

428
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 2: Man, it's just dust minds holding hands in that truck

429
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 2: holding it all together.

430
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: Anyway, Hey, Johnny, I think it's about that time. Oh okay,

431
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: this on my Quarter of the Week segment we call.

432
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 1: They talked about that I've quoted a W pink before

433
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,719
Speaker 1: you did do it again because same quote, No, the

434
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: same quote. No, So he was a British evangelist, pastor theologian.

435
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: This is the guy that, if you remember, wrote a

436
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff, but during his lifetime nobody really read it.

437
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 2: So gives hope to you, right, like maybe I'll be

438
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 2: appreciated finally.

439
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: Maybe someday, He says. Prayer is not appointed for the

440
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: furnishing of God with the knowledge of what we need,

441
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: but it is designed as a confession to Him of

442
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: our sense of the need. In this, as in everything,

443
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: God's thoughts are not ours as ours. God requires that

444
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: his gifts should be sought for. He designs to be

445
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: honored by our asking, just as he is to be

446
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: thanked by us after he has bestowed his blessing. But

447
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: the idea in Laura, I've been talking about this a

448
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: lot lately. And there's a guy named Pete Gregg who

449
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: is the head of twenty four to seven prayer movement

450
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: that does the Lectio three six I app and he

451
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: has a family member with a medical issue, and he

452
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: was on a podcast talking about I lead a global

453
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:14,719
Speaker 1: the largest global prayer movement, and yet my greatest prayer

454
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: need is constantly unanswered in the way that I need.

455
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: And he was talking about the tension of that, and

456
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: I think, Lauren, I've been talking about that, and lots

457
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: of people come of praying with somebody on Sunday. I mean,

458
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: it's a real difficult thing. And I remember when Sadie

459
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: was little and you're teaching her, Hey, when you have

460
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: a problem, you pray, and like she would pray and

461
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: then turn around and go nothing happened, like because there's

462
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 1: an expectation, and that's a hard place to be, I

463
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: think for all of us theologically. So I liked that

464
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: Pink brings it into Hey, if God already knows what

465
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: we need, what's the point of doing this, especially if

466
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: it may not end up in the answer that I'm

467
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: asking for. And uh, Pete talked about that, like, well,

468
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 1: number the first thing that all this brings is lamenting.

469
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: I mean, crying that thing out to God because it's unanswered,

470
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: and that that that time of complaining to him. You know,

471
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: you there's a complaining about him, and there's a complaining

472
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: to him. And I think I've spent a lot more

473
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: time in the last several years complaining as a matter

474
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: of prayer, because again, I'm not really furnishing him with

475
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: the knowledge of what I need. Right that that's that's

476
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: the idea is why are you not getting this?

477
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 2: Do not know?

478
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: But the act of confession, right, and that that sense

479
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: of need. And what's crazy is, you know, there's studies

480
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: out about how the human brain that negative things take

481
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: up more space in the human brain than positive things.

482
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 1: And I think that applies to prayer because I am

483
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: closer to God. I feel in the aftermath and I

484
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 1: look back, there was a feeling even when I'm frustrated

485
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 1: and lamenting and complaining and then even angry and trying

486
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: to bring these things to him. There's something intimate about that, right,

487
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 1: because you have to cling to faith one you, cause

488
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 1: you know what this is all, this is all just

489
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 1: a farce. You're not really there. But there's always something

490
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: God has done. And then that that submission of well,

491
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: if you don't do what I want, if you if

492
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: you allow to happen what I think is bad, what then, like,

493
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: what am I going to do with that?

494
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 2: Yeah?

495
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: And when you go back and look at the biblical figures,

496
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: they live with that constantly. I mean, just look at Moses,

497
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: or look at Joseph, or look at whomever, look at Jesus.

498
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: There was a sense of submission to I think you

499
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: use the word at lunch today, and it's so such

500
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: a hard word. It wasn't in our traditions growing up,

501
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: but the submission to sovereignty. And then but if you

502
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 1: submit to sovereignty to the place that you go, what's

503
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: the point then of even asking? And there is a point,

504
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: and I think that there is often an answer. I'm

505
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: just less aware of the answer when it's positive. I

506
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: just am my brain has less room. Like I can't

507
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: tell you how many times that I've had some major crisis.

508
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 1: It persisted maybe for months on end that I am

509
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: just I'm going to use it an old school word,

510
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 1: but I'm travailing in prayer like I am. I am

511
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: suffering in this prayer time, like really going, I'm hurt,

512
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm worried, and I'm doing all I can do. And

513
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: then God does something and there's a resolution, and it's

514
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: this moment of relief.

515
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 2: But the.

516
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: Celebration or the relief is not always in at least time,

517
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: I think commiserate to sort of commensurate to the level

518
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: of crisis I was in. I don't think God now

519
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: that it's answered. As much as I complain to God

520
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: to get there I don't feel as good in the

521
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: opposite way as I felt back and in a lot

522
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: of cases, and the other big crazy thing is is

523
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: by that night, but just within the same twenty four hours,

524
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: I can begin to feel the same negative or difficult

525
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: things about something else.

526
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, move on to the next crisis.

527
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I me just I like that idea that

528
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 1: there's a purpose of prayer that is not just getting

529
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: my request across, and that there is also a value

530
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: to the seeking, Like maybe the biggest values to the

531
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: seeking not to dismiss the need or that we need

532
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,360
Speaker 1: the answer, because we do a lot of the time,

533
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: but it's not wasted time when the answer doesn't feel

534
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: So I'm working on that, I'm willing.

535
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,239
Speaker 2: It's like prayer reminds us of our helplessness too, Like

536
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 2: when we have to go like especially if you get

537
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 2: to a point in life middle aged or whatever, you're

538
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 2: making money or whatever it is you're used to being

539
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 2: able to, like I can write a check and get

540
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 2: out of this, or I can I have a I'm

541
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 2: insulated from this pain by my whatever level of affluence

542
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 2: to Yeah, and then when you get to a problem

543
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 2: that you cannot solve with whatever your smarts are, whatever

544
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 2: your income is, whatever your station in life is, you

545
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 2: have to lower yourself and go to somebody higher than you.

546
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 2: And just doing that, like he says, it's not just

547
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 2: like I'm here as my shopping list. It's like I

548
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 2: have to remind myself that there's somebody that has more

549
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 2: power than me, right, And just that acting of itself

550
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 2: is worth praying. Yeah, because it's that reminder every time

551
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 2: I can't fix this, Oh yeah, because we're so used

552
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 2: to wanting to just fix it, especially.

553
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: In the mine. Again, I think the pandemic that was

554
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: the greatest like example in modern age of our perhaps

555
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: unconscious sense that we're in control, because there was rage

556
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: when the medical community that's already mostly maligned by people

557
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: because of our healthcare system issues and other things. Everybody

558
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: feels like, right, you're paying too much and waiting too

559
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: long and all the things, your claims are always denied

560
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: or whatever. But when that same medical community could not

561
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: immediately produce answers, there was outrage and conspiracy. Because I

562
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: think the hidden assumption is as much as I malign this,

563
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: you have the answer. We have the answer to all

564
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: questions when it comes to science and medical world, you know,

565
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 1: we've split out of instead of going, oh, this is

566
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: a novel virus. This is a moment that will take

567
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: some time, distress to be researched and trials and other things.

568
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: And that that the patients and that there was none

569
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: It was a sense it tore the nation apart. Now

570
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: I don't think it tore the world apart in quite

571
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: the way it tore our nation apart. There are other

572
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: places that that they went through the same thing, but

573
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: they perhaps didn't have such a blind exceptionalism to our abilities.

574
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's an individualism and kind of a growing

575
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 2: anti collectivism in our culture that probably impaired us in

576
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 2: some ways. Yeah, it's tough. Yeah, it's a good quote.

577
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 2: Good quote. John. Let's do my segment. John. Let's start

578
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 2: with my old jokes that I found on the internet.

579
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 2: Johnny's old jokes. We call it joke about that John.

580
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 2: A woman brought her sick duck into a veterinary clinic.

581
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 2: That's a true story. As she laid it on the table,

582
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 2: the vet pulled out his tethoscope and listened to the

583
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 2: bird's chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook

584
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,719
Speaker 2: his head and said and sadly said, I'm sorry your

585
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 2: duck has passed away. The distressed woman said, are you sure? Yes,

586
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 2: I'm sure your duck is dead, replied the vet. How

587
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 2: could you be so sure, she protested, I mean you

588
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 2: haven't done anything, any testing or anything. He might just

589
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 2: be in a comba or something. The vet rolled his eyes,

590
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 2: turned around and left the room. He returned a few

591
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 2: minutes later with the black Labrador retriever. As the duck

592
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 2: duck's owner looked on in amazement. The dogs stood on

593
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 2: his hind legs, put his front on the examination table,

594
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 2: sniffed the duck from top to bottom. He then looked

595
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 2: up at the vet with sad eyes and shook his head.

596
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 2: The vet patted the dog on the head and took

597
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 2: it out of the room. A few minutes later, returned

598
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 2: with the cat. The cat jumped on the table also

599
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 2: delicately sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat

600
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 2: sat back on its haunches, shook its head, moved softly,

601
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 2: and strolled out of the room. The vet looked the

602
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 2: woman and said, I'm sorry, but, as I said, this

603
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 2: is most definitely, one hundred percent certifiedly a dead duck.

604
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 2: The vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys,

605
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 2: produced a bill, which he handed to the woman the duck.

606
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 2: The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill five

607
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 2: hundred dollars. She cried, five hundred dollars just to tell

608
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 2: me my duck is dead. The vet shrugged. I'm sorry.

609
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 2: If you'd just taken my reward for it, the bill

610
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 2: would have been twenty dollars. But with the lab report

611
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 2: in the cat's gain, it's now over five hundred dollars.

612
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: That's as a long way.

613
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 2: That's a long way for that one John. A group

614
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 2: of senior citizens were sitting around talking about their ailments.

615
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 2: My arms are so weak, I can hardly hold this

616
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 2: cup of coffee, said one. Yes, I know. Oh my

617
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 2: cataracts are so bad. I can't even see my coffee,

618
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 2: replied another. I can't turn my head because of this

619
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 2: arthritis in my next ad a third, to which several

620
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 2: nodded weekly in agreement. My blood pressure pills make me dizzy,

621
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 2: claim to another, I guess that's the price we pay

622
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 2: for getting old Winston old man, as he shook his head.

623
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 2: Well it's not that bad, said one woman, cheerfully. Thank god,

624
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 2: we can all still drive That one's like one of

625
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 2: those like it's funny and scary and also yeah, John, finally,

626
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 2: while walk, I got one more.

627
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: Okay, sorry, this is a three joke week.

628
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 2: John w While walking down the street one day, a

629
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 2: politician is tragically hit by a truck and dies. Our

630
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 2: soul arrives in Heaven is met by Saint Peter at

631
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 2: the entrance. Welcome to Heaven, says Saint Peter. Before you

632
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 2: settle in, it seems it's a problem. We seldom see

633
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,239
Speaker 2: a high official around these parts. You see, we're not

634
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,719
Speaker 2: so sure what to do with you. Uh, no problem,

635
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 2: just let me in, says the lady. Well i'd like to,

636
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 2: but I have orders from higher up. Again, these are

637
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 2: theologically a little bit to questionable. But what we have

638
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 2: to do is let you been one day in hell

639
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 2: and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to

640
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 2: spend eternity. Really, I've made up my mind. I want

641
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 2: to be in heaven, says the head of state. I'm sorry,

642
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 2: but we have our rules. And with that, Saint Peter

643
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 2: a scores her, escorts her to the elevator, and she

644
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 2: goes down, down, down to Hell. I love that sentence.

645
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 2: The door is open, and she finds herself in the

646
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 2: middle of a green golf course. In the distance, a

647
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 2: club is a club, and standing in front of her

648
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 2: are all her friends and other politicians who'd worked with her.

649
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 2: Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They they

650
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 2: run to greet her, hug her, and reminisce about the

651
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 2: good times they had while getting rich at the expense

652
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 2: of the people. They play a friendly game of golf

653
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 2: and then dying on lobster and cavi A also present

654
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 2: as the Devil, who really is a very friendly guy

655
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 2: who has such a good time dancing and telling jokes.

656
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 2: They have such a good time that after she before

657
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 2: she realizes that it's time to go, everyone gives her

658
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 2: a big hug waves while the elevator rises. The elevator

659
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 2: goes up, up, up, and the door reopens on heaven

660
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 2: where Peter st. Peter's waiting for her. Now it's time

661
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 2: to visit heaven. So twenty four hours past with the

662
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 2: head of state joining a group of contented souls moving

663
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 2: from a cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing.

664
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 2: They have a good time and before she realizes that

665
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 2: twenty four hours have gone and Saint Peter returns, well,

666
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 2: then you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven.

667
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 2: Now choose your eternity. She reflects from in it, and

668
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 2: the Head of State answers, well, I never would have

669
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 2: said it. I mean, Heaven's been delightful, but I think

670
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 2: I'd be better off in Hell. So Saint Peter escorts

671
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 2: her to the elevator and she goes down, down, down

672
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 2: to Hell. Now the doors of the elevator open and

673
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 2: she is in the middle of a barren land covered

674
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 2: with waste and garbage. She sees all her friends dressed

675
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: in rags, picking up trash and putting it in black bags.

676
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 2: The devil comes over her and lays his arm on

677
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 2: her neck. I don't understand Stammer's ahead of state. Yesterday

678
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 2: I was here. There was a golf course and a club,

679
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 2: and we hait lobster and caviar and danced and had

680
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 2: a great time. Now this is all a wasteland full

681
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 2: of garbage, and my friends look miserable. The devil looks

682
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 2: at her and smiles and says, yesterday we were campaigning.

683
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 2: Today you voted for us.

684
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: Wow, that's pointed.

685
00:31:53,440 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, anyway, politicians, no offense. David no offensive. You're

686
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 2: out there. I'm sure you're serving the people, and yeah,

687
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 2: I appreciate everything you do, but maybe cut the trees

688
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 2: back next time, if you could.

689
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: We have strong views on trees here, we really do.

690
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: I'm a big surprises not offending one these trees.

691
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 2: There's got to be other ways to get oxygen. John,

692
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 2: let's do this week in history. We call it talk

693
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 2: about then, John This Week. Two thousand and four, the

694
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 2: social media website Facebook is launched by Mark Zuckerberg along

695
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 2: with fellow Harvard College students and roommates Eduardo Savergn, Andrew McCollum,

696
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 2: Dustin Muskovitz, and Chris Hughes. They initially limited membership to

697
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 2: only Harvard students and if only they'd stopped there. Huh,

698
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 2: this is probably a clip that'll be on Facebook if

699
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 2: we clip it up. That's what's odd about this. Yeah,

700
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 2: we put our clips on Facebook while also maligning Facebook

701
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 2: and feeling like we're somehow above it, right, that's the

702
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 2: mess it carries.

703
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: It's the message of its own demise.

704
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do? I got this? John This Week.

705
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 2: In nineteen eighty five, a federal audit revealed that the

706
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 2: Navy was paying six hundred and forty dollars for twenty

707
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 2: five dollars toilet seats. There's nothing. It feels like we

708
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 2: have a theme this week about our tax dollars. Yeah,

709
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 2: because there's all that stuff, you know that your money,

710
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 2: these pork at all these bills and all this stuff,

711
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 2: like the tax dollars and they pay, you know, they oh,

712
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 2: we're gonna house the homeless, and then they spend like

713
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 2: seven hundred thousand dollars on like one unit of something.

714
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 2: You go, that's crazy, right, But this was one where

715
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 2: I remember it was on the news when I was

716
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 2: a kid. The Navy paid and people still use the

717
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 2: example they're buying twenty five dollars toilet seats for six

718
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 2: hundred and forty dollars. Now, listen, if you'd seen the

719
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 2: toilet seat this thing, what do you think the most

720
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 2: expensive item in your house is? That's like an everyday

721
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 2: item that you've paid a premium price for it just

722
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 2: because now you want one that lasts a long time,

723
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 2: Like do you have a really nice fridge like some

724
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 2: people would hate, Like Brian Reagan has a thing about

725
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 2: that he goes when you're trying to you're at the

726
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 2: place behing a fridge. He goes you're looking at They go, hey,

727
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 2: so this one is, uh, this one keep your food cold,

728
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 2: and it's thousand dollars. You go, okay. This one here

729
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 2: is fifteen hundred dollars, keeps your food cold. If you

730
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 2: go over here, twenty five hundred dollars, it's real cold.

731
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 2: Keeps your food cold. Like it is funny, it's like,

732
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 2: but but there are like I know there are differences

733
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 2: in fridges size wise, but it's like it is remarkable

734
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 2: the wide range in some of this stuff.

735
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hate my fridge.

736
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 2: What do you hate about it?

737
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: This never worked properly? I don't say ice maker doesn't

738
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: work right. I've had whirlpool out at the very beginning.

739
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: They try to deny the warranty that we had bought

740
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 1: it and never could fix it.

741
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 2: It's just like, so does it make eyes.

742
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: Sometimes sometimes it doesn't. Man, Man, this is hard. It's

743
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: hard life. You've been through a lot. I've been through stuff.

744
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: You know, how much is your toilet seat, John, I

745
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: think it's just a normal toilet seat.

746
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 2: Doesn't have one of those bidet things at the bottom

747
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 2: of it. No, you didn't go bidet during the pandemic.

748
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 2: I don't have a lot of people went bidet hereing

749
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 2: that toilet paper shortage? Did you know?

750
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: Okay, I couldn't.

751
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 2: I don't think I could get. I'm a little like

752
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 2: I think if your maybe twenties thirties, you're like, let's

753
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 2: change what's going on down there? Yeah, when you get

754
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 2: for a long time, it's paper till I fall out.

755
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: You know again, it's back to the toilet paper commercials

756
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,720
Speaker 1: because apparently there's a much greater problem with toilet paper

757
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: than I understood, because every toilet paper commercial is trying

758
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 1: to solve a is trying to meet a felt need

759
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: that I'm like.

760
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,280
Speaker 2: You're using felt now, grief.

761
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: That's got to be Teddy bears running around with like

762
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: trap noel or they'll say, they'll say, the bears.

00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: I do not have to be told to do that.

766
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we all enjoy a good go.

767
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: Have you seen a new one like it? It will

768
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: make you so clean that you want to come clean

Speaker 2: Oh that's fun. That's a good angle.

772
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: But also, were you really struggling with cleanliness that much beforehand?

773
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. Again, the need feels less than the

774
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: provision to meet it. Yeah, saying isn't that just like?

775
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 2: But I mean, obviously if we could all go to bidets,

776
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,879
Speaker 2: wouldn't it save in wast But maybe you're wasting water?

777
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: Then I'd have to go back and look at Mike.

778
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,879
Speaker 2: You have to go back and look your toilet, pa previous.

779
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: Years of researching waste management and other things.

780
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 2: But yeah, I have notes John. This week. In eighteen

781
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 2: sixty nine, the world's largest gold nugget was found. They

782
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 2: called it the Welcome Stranger all caps. This is a

783
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 2: capitalized Welcome Stranger. It weighed more than two hundred and

784
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 2: ten pounds.

785
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 1: Wow.

786
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 2: It's found in Victoria, Australia. It was only one point

787
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 2: two inches below the surface. And that's why it makes

788
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 2: the list because won't that preach some of y'all got

789
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 2: a two hundred and ten pound nugget? Yeah, and you

790
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 2: won't even dig. You're walking on top of it.

791
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: It's literally right below your feet.

792
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 2: I would like to think that I'm a two hundred

793
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 2: and ten pound nugget of gold. Yeah, I mean I'm

794
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 2: closer to twenty, but.

795
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: Ah, he was counting. Really that just makes you more valuable.

796
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,439
Speaker 2: But my ideal would be that gold nugget. I would

797
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 2: be a welcome stranger.

798
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: And I would bury you just below just.

799
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 2: One point three inches below the surface. Yeah, that is

800
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 2: that's a shallow grave for me. That is a welcome stranger.

Speaker 2: be easy to pick up.

818
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it should be easy to figure out Galla. You

819
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: should play a few levels and you're fine, but it's

820
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: hard to master, and then you get that second spaceship.

821
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: Really yeah, when the bees start coming in Q.

829
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:45,879
Speaker 2: He was a Canadian baker. Do you want to take

830
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 2: a guess at what he invented and why he makes

831
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:47,879
Speaker 2: the list?

832
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: Canadian bacon.

833
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 2: And baker. He baked the bacon.

834
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: No.

835
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 2: He invented the twinkie John in nineteen thirty. I didn't

836
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 2: realize how old the twinkie was while working for Continental

837
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 2: Baking Company, which became Hostess in Schiller Park, Illinois. He

838
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,240
Speaker 2: needed a substitute for the filling in their strawberry shortcake

839
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 2: as strawberries were seasonal, so he substituted cream for the

840
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 2: strawberry filling, and the Twinkie was born. He himself, this

841
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 2: is where it gets into it. You know. You always

842
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 2: see like that eight thrown product or they scared the

843
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 2: death of it because it's just pure sugar. He himself

844
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 2: ate three a day and lived to the age of

845
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 2: eighty eight.

846
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: I love stories like that.

847
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you they're outliers. We know they're outliers. But you

848
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 2: also you'd see the old woman on the Special Interest

849
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 2: store and you're like, you're one hundred and one. She's like,

850
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 2: I ate bacon and drinking doctor pepper every day, and you.

851
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: Go, that's gonna kill me. Like I should just be unworried,

852
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: but then I go to too many hospital visits where

853
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: they ate bacon. It didn't work out. Well, Yeah, I

854
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 1: think it has to do with your with your wirings.

855
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 2: A lot of genetics. You think, yeah, she had a

856
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 2: good nana had to. But anyway, James Doer, we celebrate you.

Speaker 1: oh no.

963
00:43:57,960 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 2: You could have had a few of my frids that

964
00:43:58,960 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 2: wouldn't have cared.

965
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 1: I take a look at the fries, especially if they're

966
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: crinkle cut. Oh yeah, Like, dude, you're not gonna eat all.

967
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 2: The fries are great because they're great for like just

968
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,839
Speaker 2: pulling as much ketchup onto the it's those grooves.

969
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,399
Speaker 1: You couldn't You could not over salt a crinkle cut

970
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: fry for me. You could just cover it in salt

971
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 1: and I would just eat the whole thing. And you know,

972
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 1: it's just we're going to be so fat. It feels

973
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 1: like it's fine. Everything's fine.

974
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:23,479
Speaker 2: It's like we're a support group.

975
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,720
Speaker 1: Everything's great. Just keep taking your vitamins. Are they working?

976
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: We'll find then die. Maybe I'm peeing them all out.

977
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: I don't know all I know is I have a

978
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: doctor pepper and a slab of bak. I think we

979
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 1: should start a supplement and a vitamin or something, because,

980
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 1: for real, there's no accountability to it.

981
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's kind of like because all of them have

982
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,280
Speaker 2: to say on the back not you know, not FDAP

983
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 2: proved or whatever. The FDA has not investigated these claims.

984
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: It's like, wow, did all that vitamin C really help you?

985
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 1: I don't know. I can read about some other guy

986
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: that lived to be a hundred or and if you

987
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 1: and if it doesn't, no one will ever blame the vitamin.

988
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 1: They would never go, well, he died at sixty seven

989
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: because he didn't have No, they won't do that. You

990
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 1: won't be blamed. It's kind of like how I feel

991
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: about out investment guys. And I have some great investment

992
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: guys right now, but I've had guys before that if

993
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: the market does well, yeah they take credit then they

994
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 1: go see. But if the market does badly, it's the

995
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: market fit. What it is like when do I I

996
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: want to I want to not be responsible, except when

997
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: the weathermen can be kind of the same way, like

998
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: you know or women we didn't know. Sorry, excuse me,

999
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: you know.

1000
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 2: We didn't.

1001
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: We didn't know that this extra snowstorm is going to

1002
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: suddenly happen. I mean, you can't predict the weather. Who could,

1003
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: that's my living could have covered their car.

1004
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 2: Just bring a hammer with you, Just bring one of

1005
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 2: those glass break just smack all over your Listen. The

1006
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:41,320
Speaker 2: ice is a lot like glass. You're just trying to

1007
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 2: break that outer layer of glass without getting to the

1008
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 2: lower layer.

1009
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes, guys, what you got to do is find a

1010
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: way to break the ice so you can get through.

1011
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 2: Speaking of breaking the ice, John, how would somebody find

1012
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:53,240

00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 2: Break through the earlier layers of the show, and we're

1015
00:45:58,040 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 2: still figuring out what we were going to do. Maybe

1016
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 2: start from go backwards.

1017
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:03,760
Speaker 1: I would start in the President and go backwards. Yeah,

1018
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 1: I think it's a more enjoyable journey, is it?

1019
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 2: Okay? But do whatever you want to do prequels then

1020
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:10,879

1022
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,960

1024
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: four hundred episodes. What do they prefer and what what's better.

1025
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,759

1026
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: some people by SI people they liked it before the

1027
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: segments really really extemporaneous, and we're.

1028
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 2: Pretty extemporaneous anyway. This is this is like it's a

1029
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 2: good balance of like keeping us in between the lines,

1030
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 2: but also letting us just like debrief are week and

1031

00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: you've got to stand for what matters, you know.

1034
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know it's like they people just defend the
