00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: They were showing. It was all Bob Barker era prices.

31
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: Pluto is like a television network, but it's not really

32
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: a network. It's like a it's a subscription kind of

33
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: a thing too, I think.

34
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 4: And I think I was watching an early episode and

35
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,640

Speaker 4: that they just left in there were like on old prices, right, Yeah,

37
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:50,040

Speaker 4: really smug and rude. But they were obviously the contestants

39
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,120

40
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,320

Speaker 2: it's not even been three weeks shit since my terrible accident.

69
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,840

00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: I told everybody last week that I was going to

75
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: put on the video and then I had people who

76
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 2: literally reach out and they go, hey, you said that

77
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: you were going to put your photo of your injuries

78
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: in the video.

79
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: Well, it probably thought that Adam was going to I

80
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: thought he was going to add it.

81
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 4: Adam, what's the deal, man, It's.

82
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: Adam's fault anyway. So after much ado, I decided to

83
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: show it. It's a little gruesome, but this is my

84
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,839
Speaker 2: that's what my face looked like. This is the day

85
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: after I think maybe a couple of days when my

86
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: eye started the puffiness.

87
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 4: Here.

88
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: This this is the terrible road rash here.

89
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: So the bridge of my nose was stitched, so that's

90
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: got a few stitches in it. And uh yeah it's

91
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: and then this this section above my mustache line, it's

92
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: a nice chunk of meat that's just missing.

93
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 3: It's uh, I.

94
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:57,720

Speaker 3: You really.

96
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 4: Did a good job of making sure it was in

97
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 4: the dead center of your face. Yeah, well not hit

98
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 4: on the side on either side.

99
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a that's like you know what, I'm going

100
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: straight down?

101
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was.

102
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 4: Uh. I'm sure you were thinking about that. You were

103
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 4: talking about that feeling of knowing what was about to happen.

104
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 4: That's a really bad feeling.

105
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just go I'm out of control. I'm on

106
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: the ground. It was not like enough time to do.

107
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 4: Anything about it, just happening.

108
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I was, Uh, for some reason,

109
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: I get because I bought those scooters on Amazon. I

110
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: bought four of them, so I have four of them

111
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: in my garage. Now, if anybody wants some scooters, because

112
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 2: my wife now is terrified.

113
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 4: If you thought about suing Amazon, you know.

114
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: What, that's a great idea. Not a sponsor, yeah, and

115
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,119
Speaker 2: never a sponsor now.

116
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 3: But uh, because I bought those scooters, I still get ads.

117
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 3: You can go back to the logo this is a

118
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 3: lot just creeping people out.

119
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: Anyway, you have to watch the video on YouTube, yeah

120
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: dot com. If you want to talk about that, go

121
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: to the talk about that channel. If you want to

122
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 2: see the Yeah, I guess we could drop it in

123
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: a clip or something. But anyway, because I bought those

124
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 2: on Amazon, I get all these programs. But you know,

125
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 2: you're in the algorithms, so they still target me with

126
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 2: these scooters. I'm like, hey, buddy, I'm not your customer anymore.

127
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 2: I'm not the guy. First of all, I have four. Yeah,

128
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: so I think I'm done. I caught my limit.

129
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, but beyond that, I'm not your guy.

130
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 2: But I got one the other day and it was

131
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 2: an ad for one that says it's the fastest one ever,

132
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 2: and I go, well, because the one I have goes

133
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: twenty yeah, which is a lot. Yeah, that's a lot

134
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: for something that you're not strapped into. It's just you're

135
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 2: just on a you're on a skateboard that goes twenty

136
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: miles an hour basically, And uh, and I've shown that

137
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 2: to being thrown off.

138
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 3: Of one at twenty miles an hour is a serious john.

139
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 3: This one goes fifty.

140
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 4: That cannot be legal.

141
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: I go, it is, but he goes, this isn't a toy.

142
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: Don't get this for your kids. This is not like

143
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 2: a starter scooter. And he goes, and you're gonna want

144
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: to wear a motorcycle helmet.

145
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: If you ride this.

146
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: And he was in the promo of it, because I

147
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: watched the video of him trying it out to see

148
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 2: if it really did go fifty miles a suit of armor,

149
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: I mean, like, I mean, he was wearing his leathers

150
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: like you would if you were on a motorcycle, and

151
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 2: he had a motorcycle helmet on and I was like,

152
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 2: but then you're just that. I mean, he was gunning

153
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 2: it though, and I was like, this is a lot.

154
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 2: I cannot even imagine being comfortable going fifty miles an

155
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: hour on that, dude.

156
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,000

00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 2: ask I do two things differently, three things. One still,

319
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: I don't pull the audience. You dye your hair, I

320
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 2: dye my hair just for men. Comes out, No, I say,

321
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 2: I don't pull the audience. So if you have questions,

322
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 2: if you have question kind of setups where you go

323
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 2: who's married? Or you don't say that obviously, but you

324
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 2: don't even say anything. Don't say like who has dogs? Yeah,

325
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 2: where's fly? In a room of mixed I go, we

326
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 2: have dog people in the crowd. Then I go into

327
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 2: dog material sometimes. Yeah, you never do that with youth

328
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 2: because they love talking about themselves and they'll go on

329
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 2: for three minutes.

330
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 3: I've got a dog. His name is Lucky, blah blah blah.

331
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 3: So you don't do that. I am.

332
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: I go a little zanier, I don't do I do

333
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: more act outs on a little zanier. I'm a little

334
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 2: more active on stage, and I do more gross like

335
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 2: every every gross joke. There's a couple of jokes I

336
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 2: do in youth that I would not do anywhere else,

337
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 2: just because they're kind.

338
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 4: Of yet everything do they get like sweet and low?

339
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they tend to.

340
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 2: Uh. Everything was landing that I was choosing to do,

341
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 2: but I was making really decisive choices. I was being

342
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 2: surgical with my set list. As I was in my head,

343
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 2: I was like, no, this will be different here. I

344
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: won't do that that way.

345
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 3: But one thing I've heard to do with youth that

346
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 3: really works is and this sounds like a knock on generations,

347
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 3: but my buddy says, get somebody on the stage because

348
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 3: they love part of the show. And I was like,

349
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 3: I don't want that. I'm not willing to do that.

350
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 2: So that's the only thing I've not done is like

351
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 2: bring them up and like what's your name, and then

352
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 2: like make some jokes with them involved. And that's true,

353
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: Like if you get something and that's their peers down there,

354
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 2: they'll laugh harder because it's like that's Joe and he's

355
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: our quarterback or whatever. That's great, But I just don't.

356
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like a it's like a bomb. I don't

357
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 3: know what's going to happen.

358
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 4: You know, it's crazy, this whole thing. I'm having a

359
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 4: little bit of a outside of my body experience also

360
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 4: known as an out of body experience.

361
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 3: Outside my body experience. John's a theoretical physicist.

362
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: But like I'm sitting here asking you what it's like

363
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: to talk to youth.

364
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're.

365
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 4: Right, I would speak to a gym full of kids. Yeah,

366
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 4: like it was nothing. You know what I'm saying.

367
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 3: I think you can do it now. No, yeah you could.

368
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 4: I don't think.

369
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 2: Oh it would come back, babe, that would come right back.

370
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: You've got this baby, you swing. Here's what you do.

371
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 2: You just don't show fear. That's the main thing it is.

372
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 2: The main thing is confidence. And that's really what comedy is.

373
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 2: Comedy is Bill Hicks used to say. The late great

374
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 2: Bill Hicks used to say, don't ask them if it's funny.

375
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 2: You tell them it's funny. Yeah, and you don't. That's

376
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 2: your attitude is what you guys. Don't literally do that.

377
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, your attitude. That was funny. Yeah yeah, yeah. I

378
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 3: don't like comedians that do that. They go, you're not

379
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 3: laughing as hard as I'm joking, not shouting loud as

380
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 3: you must not.

381
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't blame the audience, but I'm

382
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: saying your confidence level tells them, oh, this guy knows

383
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 2: what he's doing.

384
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 3: We feel safe, he's driving the bus.

385
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: That's what you would be the problem with most things

386
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: in my life.

387
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

388
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 4: So I told you that I got I was.

389
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 3: You spoke on Sunday. You're great, confident, you did great.

390
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 4: So I was talking to a pH d tutor. Yeah,

391
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 4: in in Europe. Yeah, and he was like, hey, he

392
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 4: was like, I really like you as a person, and

393
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 4: I like it. He goes, but some of your humble

394
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 4: stuff you're gonna have to down. You're going to dial

395
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 4: that back in these applications if you want to.

396
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 3: Get because you're getting qualifying statement.

397
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: Like, you know, I may not be an ex. He's like, no,

398
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: you tell them you are an ex.

399
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, you tell them that you are going well.

400
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 2: You are an expert in some things, and that's true.

401
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: You have a lot of experience in certain things and

402
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 2: it's okay to say I'm an expert.

403
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 4: I don't like doing that because then I'll be held

404
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 4: Oh okay, that's the fear, like what if I right? Yeah,

405
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 4: but I mean I'm an expert at this next segment.

406
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's my segment.

407
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 3: And it's never gone wrong.

408
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: It's what we call They talked about that.

409
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 3: Great segue.

410
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 4: How do we both went base?

411
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, base.

412
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 4: Ezekiel Hopkins sixteen thirty three.

413
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 3: With a name like Ezekiel, I'm going to get sixteen hundreds.

414
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a little So this is one of those

415
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 4: if you guys become quote people and everyone acts like

416
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 4: it's easy, right, but the.

417
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 2: Deal is to really you think these people know and

418
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 2: they're saying something like this is going to be quoted,

419
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 2: Like that's what I've always wondered, Like its At some

420
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 2: point Mark Twain knew the people are writing this down.

421
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 3: Yes, it's a good one.

422
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 4: Well, if you're writing it, yeah, right, if it's going

423
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 4: into a published work, then you hope right and be quoted.

424
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 4: But but yeah, Twain for sure he lived for that stuff.

425
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 4: But yeah, Zeko Hopkins. Though it's again it's clunky because

426
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 4: when you look for quotes, you find these perfect quotes,

427
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 4: and then when you really start to search them, they go,

428
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,360
Speaker 4: that's been rewritten for modern ears, but that's not the original.

429
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 4: So I can't do that.

430
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 3: I want to.

431
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 4: I don't want to be that Johnny, So I want

432
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 4: I want to, And we'll put it into our own

433
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 4: will help then explain it if need be. But oh boy,

434
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 4: for we must know God hath commanded us to pray,

435
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 4: not that he might be excited and moved by hearing

436
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 4: the voice of our cries and prayer to give unto

437
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 4: us those mercies and blessings which he himself was not

438
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 4: resolved beforehand to bestow upon us, but that we ourselves

439
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 4: might be fitted and prepared to receive from him what

440
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 4: he is always ready and willing to confer upon us.

441
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 4: So like the original quote, as they kind of put

442
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 4: into modern words, is more like we don't pray as

443
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 4: if God wasn't going to do this already. Like that

444
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 4: he's withholding, he's thinking, you know what, I didn't really right,

445
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 4: I hadn't really thought about doing that good thing for you,

446
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 4: you know. But more that prayer is a preparation of

447
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 4: what He's going to do. And I think it was

448
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 4: such a fascinating sort of concept. And I met with

449
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 4: a guy this morning. We were talking about this, like

450
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 4: he had he had a kind of year that I

451
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 4: had in like twenty seventeen and eighteen when my dad died,

452
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 4: When then I went through a lawsuit, I went through

453
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 4: just all these different things, And just when you think

454
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 4: you can't get humbled more, you get humbled more, and

455
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 4: you find yourself depending upon God in a way you

456
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 4: never have before. But it doesn't feel good, Like everyone

457
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 4: would say, it's not like this. Ah, you know, and

458
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 4: maybe someone else walks in better peace than I do.

459
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 4: I would dare say almost everybody else probably works walks

460
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 4: in a better peace than I do.

461
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 3: Not true, John, you're very peaceful.

462
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, everyone knows. But this idea though, that what

463
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,719
Speaker 4: I'm going to God for is the process of it

464
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 4: is actually changing and preparing and forming me. So while

465
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 4: I'm asking for outcomes, what he's doing is in the asking,

466
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 4: he's giving me the outcome he desires for my own transformation,

467
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 4: as opposed to just the thing I need in this moment.

468
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 4: So the thing may be the answer may be yes,

469
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 4: but the act of prayer wasn't because he didn't get

470
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 4: that already the act of prayer was my dependency right,

471
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 4: or my humility or my willingness to keep coming back

472
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 4: though he's not answered in the way I wanted. And

473
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 4: I think a lot about Jesus talking about asking and

474
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 4: seeking and knocking, and that whole persistent widow parable is

475
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 4: a really like it. It gets caught in my crawl

476
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 4: a little bit, as we'd say in the South.

477
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: Like like this this why like why why would Jesus

478
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: say that prayer?

479
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 4: He's using this example of prayer as this, this widow

480
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 4: who's being mistreated just continually knocks on the door of

481
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 4: the judge's house. And he's a wicked king or judge

482
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 4: I can't remember, for it's a judge a king. But

483
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 4: and he's like, I don't fear God or people, but

484
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 4: this persistent person is really annoying me, so therefore I'm

485
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 4: going to give. And then Jesus juxtaposes that and says, well,

486
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 4: imagine if that's what the wicked will do, what how

487
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 4: good your father is? But still the point of it

488
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 4: is persistence and patience and having it because it takes faith.

489
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 4: It's like an active faith to continue to knock and

490
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 4: seek and ask and when you're not getting what you're knocking,

491
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 4: you know, and seeking and asking for. Then you begin

492
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 4: to wonder, I think, and I think that's probably Jesus's

493
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 4: point to falcking myself into it, that you begin to

494
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 4: question the character of the person behind the door. Yeah right,

495
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 4: What could possibly be your point for this good thing

496
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 4: that I'm obviously desperately in need of for my family

497
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 4: or for myself or for someone else. What is the

498
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 4: reason that you're withholding? And we don't get that answer.

499
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 4: We don't get the answer of God saying the reason

500
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 4: I withheld was And I think we love the idea

501
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 4: that well, someday you look back and then you can

502
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 4: see why, And guys, sometimes you can and then sometimes

503
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 4: you just can't. But that the act is faith and action,

504
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 4: like it's actually to come back again and to feel

505
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 4: foolish and to feel frustrated, but to say, yet again,

506
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 4: I'm going to knock and ask and seek you have.

507
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 4: Maybe it could be years you've not answered this in

508
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 4: the way I've done it, But I'm going to keep going.

509
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 4: I think that Jesus even and say to you, by

510
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 4: the way is reading. He's very creative in artsy and

511
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 4: so like she gets these journaling Bibles. She's got a

512
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 4: ton of them, and the kid just flies through. I

513
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 4: mean she'll write and an entire everything in the margin

514
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 4: is written, and everything is highlighted, and she color codes.

515
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 4: She's gone through Mark, Matthew, and John in the last

516
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 4: like three or four weeks, like the whole books she's journaling.

517
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 4: And she asked me that the day she goes, you know, Dad,

518
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 4: what is this whole thing about the Jesus saying it's

519
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 4: not good to give the children's food to the dogs

520
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 4: when the Samaritan woman comes and asks you for help?

521
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 4: And I talked about like, well, I mean, you know,

522
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 4: the Jewish people considered the Samaritans even worse than Gentiles.

523
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 4: And so he's, I believe, acknowledging this tension between them,

524
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 4: the cultural tension, and he's using the language that she

525
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 4: would expect the Jewish people to use. But I personally

526
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 4: don't think that's what he was saying. I think he

527
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 4: was allowing her to be more persistent. He was not

528
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 4: testing her faith, but inviting it, because she could have

529
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 4: just been offended. Well you're like all the rest, but

530
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 4: she chose to believe his character. She was like, yeah,

531
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 4: but even the little dogs get the crumbs from the

532
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 4: master's table, meaning like I believe you're different than the rest,

533
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 4: and that he says, I've not seen faith like this

534
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 4: in all of Israel. He ends up rewarding her not

535
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 4: only with a yes, but also with praise about her

536
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 4: willingness to be persistent. And so, I don't know. I

537
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 4: just I encourage myself, hopefully and everybody else to day

538
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 4: like man, I mean, it's really easy to see prayer

539
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 4: in outcome terms only as opposed to you don't know

540
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 4: what the act of doing that.

541
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 3: Right, you're being formed?

542
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 4: Yep.

543
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think about Mother Teresa.

544
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 2: She had this quote one time that I read, and

545
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 2: it was about her late late in life. She did

546
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 2: an interview and they said she said her prayer life.

547
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 2: She said, I mostly just listen to God. And she said, well,

548
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 2: what do you think he does? And she goes, he listens.

549
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 2: I thought that was such a fascinating.

550
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

551
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 2: Interesting, I mean, I don't think I think there's sometimes

552
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 2: to ask, but I think it's interesting that contemplation has

553
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 2: really gone from modern society, right, be it social media, whatever,

554
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 2: we just need it's like this, we have to report,

555
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 2: we have to have an opinion. We have to have

556
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 2: a take, we have to have a thing, and so

557
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 2: this idea of contemplation is missing. And spirituality gives you

558
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 2: that time to just sit in silence and be and

559
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 2: I think that that's something that's holy and good and worthwhile. Yeah,

560
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 2: it is old Ezekiel, old Ezekiel Hopkins. He was a oldie,

561
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 2: but a goodie. You're either from the sixteen hundreds or

562
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 2: you're the original Ezekiel. Basically, that's what I would say.

563
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 2: Are people naming kids, is Echiel anymore? We gotta bring

564
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 2: that thing back.

565
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: Zeke Well there's yeah, there's Zeke's out there.

566
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 4: Who is the running back for the.

567
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 3: Cowboys, Ezekiel Elliott. There you go, Yeah, he's the Yeah.

568
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 2: So there's probably a lot of people the name in

569
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 2: their kid after him too. It's like a Peyton yeah

570
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 2: type situation.

571
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of Peytons.

572
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 3: There are a lot of Peytons and NaN's.

573
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 4: And yeah, what the it was the other u t

574

Speaker 3: There's Barns Fulmer.

576
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 4: I don't see there was another name that I've heard

00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 4: No, I love Heath. He's a Tennessee legend, but not

581
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 4: an NFL.

582
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's true. He didn't do as well with the Redskins.

583
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, poor guy John.

584
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 3: Lets do my single was let's start with old jokes.

585
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 3: We call it joke about that John. A baby is born,

586
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 3: but he doesn't have a body. It's a true story.

587
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 4: No.

588
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 2: They called him Steve, and Stephen was a happy child,

589
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 2: and he lived a normal life as you as he

590
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 2: could under these circumstances. Finally, when he reached twenty one,

591
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: his dad said, come on, son, we're gonna have a

592
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 2: drink and celebrate your birthday. He put the head on

593
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 2: the counter, and you ordered two pints again as he said, cheers,

594
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 2: and he poured a sip into his son's mouth. To

595
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 2: everyone's surprise, a neck and shoulders pop out like balloons.

596
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:24,719
Speaker 2: With tears of joy that the da had give him

597
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 2: another sip and pop, two arms came out of the shoulders.

598
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 2: The dad gave him a third sip.

599
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 3: Pop.

600
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: He grew a torso and on and on until he's

601
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 2: got legs and such. They had to get him out

602
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 2: of there. To get him some clothes because he never

603
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 2: had any before. His dad helped him to the door

604
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 2: because he was unsteady on his feet. After all, the

605
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 2: Guinness stumbles into the street gets hit by a car,

606
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 2: instantly killing him. The bartender said, poor guy, he should

607
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 2: have just quit.

608
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 3: While he was ahead.

609
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: John, that's a that's yeah, I feel like you'd get

610
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: a groan.

611
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm okay with that, John.

612
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 2: One day, Einstein has to speak at an important science conference.

613
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 2: On the way there, he tells his driver that looks

614
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 2: a bit like him. I seeing, I'm gonna go with

615
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 2: my Einstein person. I'm seek of all these conferences. I

616
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 2: always say the same thing over and over and over.

617
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 2: The driver agrees, you're right. As your driver, I attended

618
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 2: all of them, and even though I don't know anything

619
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 2: about science, I could probably give the conference in your place.

620
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 2: That's a great idea, says Einstein. Let's switch places. In

621
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 2: so they switch clothes, and as soon as they arrive,

622
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 2: the driver dressed as Einstein goes on stage and starts

623
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 2: giving the usual speech, while the real Einstein, dressed as

624
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 2: the car driver attends it. But in the crowd, there's

625
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 2: one scientist who wants to impress everyone and thinks of

Speaker 2: the machines take over, which we could make I can

645
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 2: make a case. We can make a case that Skynet

646
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 2: is here, my friends. Yeah, the movie starred Arnold Schwarzenegger

647
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 2: as you know, as the Terminator. Did you know who

648
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 2: was originally suggested for the terminator role?

649
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 4: Still one?

650
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 2: Bruce will if I gave you a thousand, yes, okay? O.

651
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 2: J Simpson come on, this was you know, this is

652
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty four interesting? You know Heisman, dude? Yeah, he

653
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 2: was in you know whatever. Director James Cameron did not

654
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 2: feel Simpson would be believable.

655
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 3: As a killer.

656
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, are we still in the joke segment?

657
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 3: I'm telling you Sebster. Salon m.

658
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 2: Mel Gibson also turned down the role, so you were close.

659
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 2: Schwarzenegger was originally wanted for the role of Kyle Reese,

660
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 2: the human soldier sent from twenty twenty nine to rescue

661
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 2: Sarah Connor, but Cameron thought Schwarzenegger would make a better terminator.

662
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 2: Schwarzenegger speaks fewer than one hundred words in the film.

663
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 4: Wow, that's a good payday for one hundred words.

664
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 3: Yeah. John.

665
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 2: This Week nineteen eighty one, Pope John Paul the Second

666
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 2: was shot escape Turkish terrorist Mamet ali Achaz shoots Pope

667
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 2: John Paul the Second in Saint Peter Square at Vatican City.

668
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 2: The Pope was struck four times. The man was apprehended

669
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 2: and later sentenced to life in prison, but the Pope forget,

670
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 2: gave him and was pardoned by Italian President Carlo Azeglio

671
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 2: Siumpy Chumpy at the Pope's request, and then deported a

672
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 2: Turkey in two thousand, where he served a ten year sentence.

673
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 2: The reason that makes the list is because one of

674
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 2: my favorite artists I got named Steve Taylor. Yeah, in

675
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 2: the eighties, he had a song on one of his

676
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 2: records called to Forgive, Oh will we live to Forgive?

677
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 2: And he talked in one of his interviews about that song.

678
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 2: He wrote it after seeing a photo, a very famous

679
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 2: photo of Pope John Paul the Second in prison forgiving

680
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 2: the man who had shot him and tried to assassinate him,

681
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 2: and he was so moved by that photo.

682
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: Did the guy accept his forgiveness someone?

683
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 2: I guess I'm trying to think one of the claims,

684
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 2: let's see, yeah, I hired him for He made conflicting

685
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,479
Speaker 2: claims about who hired him for the assassination attempt. One

686
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 2: of the claims was that Russian government hired him because

687
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 2: of the Pope's involvement in Polish solidarity. Others claimed that

688
00:30:55,160 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 2: he had hired him, including Cardinal A Gastino Cassoli and

689
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 2: the Iatola Komany. So they were never really figured out

690
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 2: who had hired the guy. He had conflicting Yeah, so

691
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 2: who knows who what the real story was.

692
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: He was the guy.

693
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,959
Speaker 3: But the Pope did the Christian thing and forgave the guy,

694
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 3: which is.

695
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 4: Pretty Are you sure that's still the Christian thing to do?

696
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 3: I think so, I don't know.

697
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: Forgive our enemies.

698
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 3: I think we're gonna think we're.

699
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 4: Going to own them. Own your enemies, is what I think.

700
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 4: Jesus said. Sorry, I'm getting on a soapbox.

701
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: Why don't you, Pope box, come on this thing?

702
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 3: And that's our show.

703
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 2: A couple more John On This Week nineteen ninety two,

704
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 2: While on a walk across America to prove that people

705
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 2: are basically good, Fred Turner is robbed and pushed off

706
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 2: a bridge. Oh dear, that's a truth that really happened.

707
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 2: This was early on in his walk. He was what happened,

708
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 2: and I looked it up because this is that's all

709
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 2: it said in the little This Week in History thing

710
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 2: and I was like, I gotta know more about this.

711
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 2: Nineteen ninety two, Fred Turner walked across America to prove

712
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 2: most people are good after It was a five months

713
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 2: journey from South Carolina to California, inspired by his truck

714
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 2: breaking down. This is almost like a forest gump thing.

715
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 2: Had to be the inspiration of the forest gump thing

716
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 2: where he just decides to just take off running and

717
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 2: he just I just kept on run, okay. Despite being

718
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 2: robbed and pushed over a bridge early on, he continued

719
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 2: the track to California, meeting supportive people along the way.

720
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 2: His motivation is to didn't die. He did not die.

721
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 2: He turned the misfortune into a cross country trip after

722
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 2: his truck broke down in South Carolina. He aimed to

723
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 2: prove a personal philosophy that ninety nine percent of people

724
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 2: are good. Despite a violent encounter early after beginning his trip,

725
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 2: he was robbed and pushed over a bridge, yet continued

726
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 2: the walk. He finished the walk in Carlsback, California, in

727
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 2: October of nineteen ninety two, often recognized by his red suspenders.

728
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 2: So that makes me think that's where the forest gump things.

729
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 2: If you remember a forest gump pad of the hat,

730
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 2: and I think he did he have suspenders. I can't remember,

731
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 2: but there was.

732
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 3: A there was a motif.

733
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 4: I wore many outfits in those scenes.

734
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: But anyway, certainly the red hat I liked.

735
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 2: I liked the idea of the walk and but yeah,

736
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 2: and he even while challenged his belief in people was

737
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 2: challenged early on, he was like, you know what, not

738
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 2: giving up?

739
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 4: I think we should walk across something. Yeah, it'd be fun.

740
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 4: We could talk a lot.

741
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: We could talk walk about that, walk about that.

742
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 3: Come on, y'all. Please don't push us over a bridge

743
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 3: and rob us.

744
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: John, you do I'm stopping, Yeah, going, that's right.

745
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going back home.

746
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be I don't have my will power

747
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 2: that young Fred Turner had my truck breaks.

748
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 3: Down, I'm probably going home.

749
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm going home.

750
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 3: No, we could just walk. I'd be like, hey, I

751
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 3: got triple A. What if we gave up? John?

752
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 2: That's always an option. John this Week finally born this

753
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 2: week nineteen fifty One of the greatest musical artists of

754
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 2: all time, possibly the greatest musical artists of all time,

755
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 2: Stevie Wonder. He was an American Grammy and Oscar winning

756
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 2: Hall of fame singer blind since shortly after. He was

757
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 2: a child prodigy who signed with Motown when he was

758
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 2: just eleven years old. Isn't that crazy? Well, I think

759
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 2: he was called Little Stevie Wonder. Then, when he was thirteen,

760
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 2: his single Fingertips made number one on the Billboard Hot

761
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 2: one hundred, making him the youngest artist ever to top

762
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 2: the chart. He was one of the best selling musical

763
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 2: artists of all time, having sold over one hundred million records.

764
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 3: Cool I didn't know this.

765
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 2: His blind was a result of being born six weeks

766
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 2: premature and placed in an oxygen rich hospital incubator, which

767
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 2: caused the growth of his eyes to stop, resulting in

768
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 2: detached retinas. You know, there's this, there's a big, you

769
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 2: know whatever conspiracy that he's not really blind, because there's

770
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 2: been a few instances where like a mike'stand starts to

771
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 2: fall over when he reaches out. Some people think he

772
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 2: can see shapes and shadows and things, but he's got

773
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 2: if he's got attached retinas, he sees nothing. Because I

774
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 2: looked it up, if you have to attach retinas. So

775
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 2: it could be that he just hears. He hears it

776
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 2: so well that he's like that's falling and he reaches

777
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 2: out to kind of steady it. Yeah, but uh, Stevie Wonder,

778
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 2: I mean I think, for my money, Aretha and Stevie. Yeah,

779
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 2: there's nobody better. Michael Jackson maybe, but you could make

780
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,720
