Speaker 2: We made it and used it here at the church.

35
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:44,959

00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: At the end.

37
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 3: Oh, I think you're gonna you're not going to see

39
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 3: good book.

40
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: You know. Every time I've read to a few publishers,

41
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: we've been close a couple of times.

42
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

43
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: The last one say it was too didactic. Okay, they

44
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: thought I taught too much of a lesson. It was

45
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: like it's a children's too obvious. No, that was obvious.

46
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: Maybe I had it at the end. So that's the

47
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: true story of a fish name Nelly. Wh blah blah

48
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah blah.

49
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: Oh but that would you adjust it now and you'd

50
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: be like less uh didacting? Yeah?

51
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: No, I think I think you really like saying that.

52
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: I think I think that the publisher was wrong. Sometimes

53
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: I don't believe I've never really publisher for not wanting

54
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: to publish on my books.

55
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: Right, I don't have to. They get the business whoever

56
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: they want to.

57
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: That's right, and they're probably right that I can't whatever

58
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: you know, sell a million copies or whatever. But do

59
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: I think they're always right about their feedback? Even my

60
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 2: agent thought they were wrong on that feedback.

61
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 3: So well, I mean, your agent's in your employee to

62
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 3: pump you up and lie to you.

63
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: You think, yeah, hey, uh no, that's wrong. You're the greatest.

64
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: They just don't know you're only paid ten percent.

65
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, thank you Bega for that. Also, Johnny, they're

68
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,839
Speaker 1: it's her husband's birthday. I'm excited about that. Yeah.

69
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 3: The Funny Bone. I've been doing a lot of the

70
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 3: Funny Bones. We've talked about comedy club names. That's one

71
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 3: of the ones that's endured. Funny There used to be

72
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 3: like a hundred funny Bones.

73
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: I think there's like twenty or twenty lost skeleton like

74
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: I can't remember.

75
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: Some of them just have like a blue text logo.

76
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 3: Some of them have like a funny little looks like

77
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: a little he's wearing a top hat.

78
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: He looks more like a kidney bean. What is it?

79
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 3: It's like an elbow, I guess, so it's like a

80
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 3: Maybe he's an elbow, but he looks like a I

81
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 3: could show it to you.

82
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: We'll put it. I'll have Adam drop it in the

83
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: kidney bean. With that, however, one.

84
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 3: Of our our guy who posts these, Adam Bush, I'll

85
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: have him post the photo of the funny moon top.

86
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: Petty's tipping them. Sounds like the Planter's peanut guy. He is.

87
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 3: He does look a little, but I think he's a

88
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: I think he's kidney bean shape because it's the joint

89
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 3: of your elbow.

90
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: Now that I think about it.

91
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: See that's being too literal to the name. Yeah, I

92
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: don't think we're literally having to hit the funny bone.

93
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: And does any other nerves or place in your body

94
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: do what the funny bone.

95
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 3: In your I wonder what the first person hit his

96
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 3: funny moone thought was happening.

97
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: I thought, I'm dying. Yeah, this is it my arm

98
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 2: is now completely useless to me for a few seconds. Yeah,

99
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: it's kind of like an ice cream headache. They probably

100
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 2: thought of sometimes some religious implication too. They probably thought

101
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 2: it was like God's punishing this.

102
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, our crops are going to die now because of

103
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 3: the Yeah, have you ever I mean a brain freeze?

104
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean if you didn't know, I mean, I've had.

105
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 2: Some brains, would think you would think, yeah, yah, I'm

106
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 2: a stroke because it hurts really, really bad, and then

107
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: you go, I mightna have one more bite.

108
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: Like it's funny that it's not enough to stop it,

109
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: to slow down, but I can't. Yeah, it's too good.

110
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,880

00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: though there's a lot happening in March.

117
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,640

134
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: you've gone down to the cellar.

135
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: You've seen these videos on Instagram where they're all.

136
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 2: Sped up like this guy takes It would take weeks,

137
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: but the guy takes like a back hoe, digs out

138
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: a hole and then drops a just has a crane

139
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 2: drop like a shipping container, and then you see him

140
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 2: really fast. He just you know, takes it takes some

141
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: sort of grinder cuts off the top of it, gets inside,

142
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: the camera comes inside.

143
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: He puts down studs.

144
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 2: And builds a wall, makes this whole underground thing with

145
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 2: a tunnel.

146
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: To go through. Have you seen that?

147
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: No?

148
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 3: But I know people are doing that, and I wonder

149
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: like is it for real? Like how do you ventilate it?

150
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: Like?

151
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 2: What are we? Well, it feels like that's a coffin.

152
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: You've made yourself a coffin. It has a thing you

153
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: have to crawl down into him, assuming ventilation comes because

154
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 2: it's to the top.

155
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

156
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 2: Another one that guy did underneath his pool, put on

157
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: glass and so you could swim over the top. Oh,

158
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: now like that, I think that might have been AI.

159
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 2: Don't you hate it that you can't just like anymore?

160
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 2: Especially dog videos. Pet videos almost always are AI.

161
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 3: Now you're like, oh, that dog seems so human. You're like, yeah,

162
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 3: that's because it's a prompt.

163
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 2: Have you seen the one where the dog is always

164
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 2: saving the baby from an alligator or a grizzly bear

165
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: in the backyard.

166
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: Hm hmm, it's AI. Well, it has to be how

167
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: many of those in a row?

168
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: It's always it's always like, I don't know way fully

169
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: that's got tone it's like the dog loving the baby

170
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: kind of thing.

171
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: Right, But it's a grizzly.

172
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: First of all, these parents, you're leaving this lay, this

173
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 2: month old just out in the yard next to the woods,

174
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 2: and alligators don't come out of the woods generally.

175
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: It's very Yeah, it's not. But the dog. I don't

176
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: know a lot about nature. Dog always saves the baby.

177
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: But I've never been high king. It have been like

178
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: watch for Gators.

179
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: How long until the algorithm just starts building its own videos?

180
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: Oh no, maybe it's already doing it. That's what we

181
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: h Yeah, instead of someone else doing it. Here's the thing.

182
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: If you're watching our video, you know it's not AI.

183
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: No way we would make ourselves. We would soup it

184
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: up more.

185
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have such authenticity. That'll be the way. You know,

186
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: it's like a grizzly coming into the room and mauling me.

187
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 2: We're gonna start going down to like seven twenty three

188
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: sixty and start to start getting lesser videos so people

189
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 2: will think that they're not AI or no.

190
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: The graininess is going to tell you what you need

191
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: to know. We'll be using VHS tapes again.

192
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 3: Then AI learned that and it's like, oh, so the

193
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 3: graininess will fool them.

194
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: It's already doing that.

195
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 3: Remember in video was like tracking, So that was the

196
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 3: thing in VHS world where you had the lines across

197
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 3: the thing, just the tracking.

198
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: That's right, remember that, I do. We're so old, We're

199
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: so old.

200
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 3: It's okay, John, I want to propose a question to

201
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 3: you because I think it's important, okay, before we go

202
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 3: to the break, and that is I saw an article

203
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 3: and I thought this can't be real, and it ended

204
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 3: up being a satire paper. But it was about how

205
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 3: if you sneeze more than twice, you're basically an unstable person.

206
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 3: You're doing it for attention. This person was like saying, like,

207
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 3: I've never sneezed more.

208
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 2: That's enough to clear whatever is in your Yeah, you know,

209
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 2: nasal passages.

210
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 3: And Curry goes, no, there's an article about it. There

211
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 3: was a study and then I read and I go, Kray,

212
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 3: this is satire. But it was very easy. She was saying,

213
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: well he was, you know, and I said, well, okay,

214
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 3: sure this person wrote this. That's the thing, like, I

215
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 3: think we're losing the ability as a culture to understand

216
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 3: what is satire because we want to be enraged so much.

217
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: Curry wasn't Curry. I'm on your side here. I don't

218
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: know what he's talking about.

219
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 3: Curry wanted me to make sure and say that she

220
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 3: was not fooled by this thing. But she was just saying, no,

221
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 3: it is an article, and I go, no, I give

222
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 3: you it was an article.

223
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 2: But I just think the article was written while you

224
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 2: were berating your wife. Yeah, tell me what was going

225
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 2: through your head at the time. Five sneezes in a row.

226
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 3: Evidently because I was defensive immediately, because I'm definitely a

227
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 3: series sneezer.

228
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 2: Yes, it takes me eight. Yeah, it's quite time. But

229
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 2: they're not real sneezes. They're like and they're not letting

230
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 2: them out. That's the problem.

231
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 3: Then usually by the end, I go, I have to

232
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 3: throw in one of those, like a quick.

233
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: It clears the yeah, because you just go, I gotta

234
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: get more air.

235
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: See people like you that kind of hold in the

236
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: sneeze though, that's not a sneeze to me. Everyone in

237
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 2: the house, here's it.

238
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: You know, I'm a screen sneezer.

239
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 3: Well, how many do you think, Like, if you're on

240
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 3: a plane, how many do you look over and.

241
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 1: Go all right?

242
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: That was enough? That's why to me, I put in headphones. Okay,

243
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: so so you don't know.

244
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 3: You just feel droplets landing on you, and that's when

245
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 3: you know. But it's enough when there's flotsam and jets

246
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:09,239
Speaker 3: coming your way.

247
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: I will say this, My wife has been yawning very

248
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 1: loudly lately. You allowed to screaming on her. She was like, well,

249
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: she's really tired. It's like so, it's like a cowardly lion.

250
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,599
Speaker 1: It's very put him up, put him up. It's a

251
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: very oh. I always know.

252
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 3: She's really those old fifties movies where the guy ans

253
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 3: the phony and.

254
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: Go, yes, I like that guy. I don't know who

255
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: that guy was, but yeah, yeah, I like that guy. Yeah.

256
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 3: But there's a yawn like that where you just go

257
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 3: that is probably for attention. I don't think it's a

258
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 3: social cue.

259
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: There.

260
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 2: See again you now you're coming at your wife, and

261
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 2: my wife like, hey, Laura, I love the yawn.

262
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: I think it's cute.

263
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: I hope you keep doing it for the rest of

264
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: our lives, which I hope you'll stay married.

265
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: To me a lot longer.

266
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: Dude, I'm twenty six years in almost Yeah, there's no

267
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 2: going back now, No there's not like she's gonna have

268
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 2: to just stick this out.

269
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: That's true. Yeah, I mean, what are you going to start?

270
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 2: She could find another guy, get him ready to whittle

271
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: down his personality to whatever she's done to you.

272
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,599
Speaker 1: There's no way. It's too much of a project.

273
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 2: I'll say, I feel my personality is improved because of her.

274
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: But I do think I do think it took her

275
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: some time.

276
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 3: It's been whittled. Uh, that's okay, you're a wittleman. Let

277
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 3: me say this, John, you're uh. Let's take a minute though.

278
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 1: First. I got a whole lot to get into here,

279
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 1: not your personality.

280
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 2: But first, let's take a minute in here from a

281
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 2: few of our find sponsors.

282
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: Okay, do your worst.

283
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 3: Okay, let me just say, first of all, you're doing

284
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 3: boll ball this weekend, right, I have a tournament in

285
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 3: Saint Louis, Indianapolis, Indianapolis. Okay, well that's a good place

286
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 3: to go or stuff to do that. But do you

287
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 3: all even have time now? Y'all don't get to see anything.

288
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 3: It's just volleyball from noon to night.

289
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: I think we would be on the court like seven am.

290
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 2: Oh no, yeah, on the court, which means you have

291
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 2: to leave the UPO.

292
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the other day.

293
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: We were in Eastern time zone as times sprung forward,

294
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: so we lost two hours. Do the girls still get

295
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: up and like get ready, like they're going out out

296
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 2: even though they're going to get sweaty? Or she she

297
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 2: did just pull her hair back and go no, wow,

298
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 2: she does make make makeup. Yeah, she has a hair

299
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 2: routine for volleyball, but it's still Yeah, it has to

300
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 2: be pulled back. Yes, it's not like she's just curling it.

301
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 3: Does any Are there any volleyball players in history that

302
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 3: have worn their hair down? I would want to see

303
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 3: this just watching it, just toss. I don't know either

304
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 3: and thither maybe some have short hair. If you had

305
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 3: short hair, yeah, baby, but I want to see that.

306
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 3: I want to see like the wild it'd be like

307
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 3: a head banging because the volleyball is a lot of movement.

308
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's uh, there's a lot going on, but they

309
00:12:59,320 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 2: do it.

310
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: I see, I could be out the door.

311
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 2: It's frustrating, I'm sure for everyone else because I could

312
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 2: be ready and you know, three.

313
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: Minutes for Yeah. Yeah, I can get ready pretty quick.

314
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: But no, listen, my daughter is not the fastest at

315
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: getting ready.

316
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 2: She's even top five though she's not going to make

317
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 2: regionals volleyball. They might, but not not in getting ready fast.

318
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,599
Speaker 2: So what I mean, let's talk about it. I'm not

319
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 2: trying to get battle the sexes here, but women take

320
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: longer to get ready. But I will say I'm trying

321
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 2: to defend here. There is an expectation of beauty on

322
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 2: women that men don't share. And so like, if we go, God,

323
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: if you would just be get ready quicker, but then

324
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 2: would we be the same guys that are.

325
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: Like Jesus, put some effort in. I would not be

326
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: that guy. That's what I'm saying. You would just be

327
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: great with it.

328
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, if your wife just came out in sweats and

329
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 3: no makeup, you'd be like, you're ready, let's go.

330
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: Let's go okay, Because I'm just.

331
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 2: Saying like I'm trying to defend the women here and

332
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 2: say it's harder for them. There's an expectation of like

333
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 2: there's a standard that's put on them that's not put

334
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: on men. We can be sloves, we can be I

335
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 2: can put on a ball cap, but if Laura wore

336
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 2: a ball cap everywhere, eventually you'd.

337
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: Be like, babe, you've let yourself go. I wouldn't do that.

338
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: You wouldn't. No, Okay, I'm not going to be trapped.

339
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: I'm not trapping you.

340
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 3: I'm saying I'm signing with the women that they're danged

341
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 3: if they do, danged if they don't.

342
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: I will agree.

343
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 3: You're either yelled at forgetting taking too long to get ready,

344
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 3: or you're kind of like marginalized for being like, oh well, okay,

345
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 3: she's a plane Jane, she didn't whatever.

346
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: I will say, like, if she has to get ready

347
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 2: for an on camera meeting, she has a lot more

348
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 2: pressure than I have to do, so right I did. Now,

349
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 2: my pressure comes in spurts because like the other day,

350
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 2: I can't say who were where? Yeah, boy, here we

351
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 2: go John with his super secret cloak and dagger meetings.

352
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 2: What I had to go to it? It was a

353
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: it was a major meeting. Like it was a major

354
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 2: meeting at a major place.

355
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: I'll just put it that way. Okay, but major money.

356
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 1: But I realized, like I have, but you guys are

357
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: be hearing a noise right now. Were I sore up

358
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: and down.

359
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 3: The way that the noise will pick up because they're

360
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 3: working on the h VAC at the church. Above us,

361
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 3: and now it feels like there's a drone fire over.

362
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 2: I think they're grinding something or sawing through the floor,

363
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 2: which is the first time they've done that.

364
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 3: Bugs Bunny Cartoon. In a minute, one is going to

365
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 3: fall through like a circle.

366
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 2: So you hear that, which was probably very slight to you,

367
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 2: but it's really loud that.

368
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: I want you to know. You don't don't adjust that

369
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: dial that's happening.

370
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 3: Don't you change that station, don't go to a better podcast.

371
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 2: But like I was, like, I wanted to do with

372
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: the whole stereotypical guy thing, but look, I'm just gonna

373
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: throw on some whatever.

374
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: And my wife and I was very tired.

375
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 2: I came home and she didn't even said, hey, don't

376
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 2: wait because the meeting was on Thursday morning. She's like,

377
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: don't wait till Wednesday night. Yeah, for us to go

378
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 2: find you a sport code or something.

379
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: Oh, you don't have a sport coat. You could just

380
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: have a sport coat. It doesn't fit right now, boy. Yeah,

381
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: And so I have an interview. You're just kind of

382
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: in person.

383
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 2: In personally, I have another one, but it's old and

384
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: it would fit, but it's old. It's like an old

385
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 2: suit it. She's like, you can tell that's a suit jacket.

386
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: It's got three buttons, and you know that doesn't so anyway,

387
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: that's not the style, man, apparently not. I don't know

388
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 2: what the style. It's coming back double breasted. So reluctantly

389
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 2: we went, do you go get things? And and I

390
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 2: was so glad that she but I thought how much

391
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 2: pressure she has to be under all the time.

392
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: So I went and.

393
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 2: Bought a couple of suit coat. There's a couple of

394
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 2: sports codes because I got to.

395
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 3: Go back a couple look at you, but man, I

396
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 3: got to have a backup. But there was half off,

397
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 3: not tear one. And also I hope to lose some weight.

398
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 3: That would be helpflucky.

399
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: So you got a gold coaste, see I said, the

400
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: one from Good Morning America. Yeah, and so that's that's

401
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 2: that's the one. The war with a hoodie like Michael Strahan.

402
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: I did wear it like Michael Strahan was my camp

403
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: for sure.

404
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 2: Of course we knew that he looked at it was

405
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 2: like this, two guys are let me just say this John.

406
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 3: My weekend was pretty interesting. I did pretty much. I mean,

407
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 3: the people asked me about the kind of shows I do.

408
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 3: And the truth is I do all kinds of shows.

409
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 3: I do comedy clubs, I do some churches, I do

410
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 3: some fundraisers, and I did all of them this weekend. Yeah,

411
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 3: I did a fundraiser in l J, Georgia for a school.

412
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 3: Then I turned around and went to O'Neill, Nebraska for

413
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 3: a show at the Community Center. And do you know

414
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 3: what one Nebraska's samous for. It's the Irish capital of Nebraska.

415
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 3: What they have the largest shamrock. I don't know, it's

416
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 3: just painted on the.

417
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: It's not a real shamrock. There's a city square.

418
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 3: There's a city square where you come to like a

419
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 3: four way traffic light in the middle of downtown and

420
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 3: a gigantic green and they repainted a couple of times

421
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 3: a year. But it was bright green that day because

422
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 3: they had it ready for Old Patrick's weekend. But a

423
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 3: church had sponsored the weekend at the community Center. But

424
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 3: we had a few hundred people. It was really great,

425
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 3: what a fun And people were shown up with green hair.

426
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 3: This one guy is long green beard that he died green.

427
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 3: I forgot to wear green, by the way, did you Yes?

428
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 2: I did not wear green that night. I wore a

429
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 2: boy today. Yesterday was Saint Patrick.

430
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: But I was trying. I was like, off all nights

431
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: not to wear green.

432
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 3: That night of that show, everybody's all decked out and

433
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 3: I'm wearing a blue sweater like a loser. But we're

434
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 3: going to get to that in a minute, because this

435
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 3: week in history is going to prove that I may

436
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 3: have been right.

437
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that blue. Just stay tonk okay, I don't

438
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 2: don't don't give it away.

439
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,360
Speaker 1: Don't fast forward either.

440
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 3: So we got a lot more details about my dumb

441
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 3: weekend because everybody wants to hear no. But anyway, then Nebraska,

442
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 3: there was a Nebraska. Then we drove over. We had

443
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 3: a one way rental car. We drove over to Des Moines,

444
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 3: which is about five hours, because I had to show

445
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 3: the next afternoon one PM show two thousand students six

446
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 3: through twelfth graders, and I swore to carry I said,

447
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 3: I told my agent, I go because we've we've turned

448
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 3: down a bunch of these because like this is what

449
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 3: you start out doing, right Like I started out. I

450
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 3: was doing all these songs and parodies and I was young,

451
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 3: not young, but I was young enough to get away

452
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 3: with it. I could get over now, I'm old enough

453
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 3: that I'm like, there's going to be a day when

454
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 3: I'm on stage in front of teenagers and they're going

455
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 3: to be like, we're not buying it, old man, and

456
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 3: I want to realize it before I get on that stage.

457
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 3: I don't want to get on the stage and realize it.

458
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 3: So I turned down a lot of those.

459
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 2: But this one's one that I had done two years before,

460
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 2: and they go, we'd love to have you do the

461
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 2: one in des Moine.

462
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 3: It's another chapter of the same conference. It's called Ignite,

463
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 3: and so I was like, all right, but this is it.

464
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 3: And when I got there on stage, they go, hey,

465
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 3: we're already we'd love to have you.

466
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: Come do Colorado Springs. And I go, hey, let's see

467
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: how this goes.

468
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 3: We start doing soundcheck, John and I told you this

469
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 3: when I was in defined So High the next day.

470
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: But sound check is not going well.

471
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 3: My guitar is not working, and we have like minutes,

472
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 3: we have like ten minutes before they're letting two thousand

473
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 3: kids into the room and it's not working.

474
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 1: And I go, well, this worked. Last night.

475
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 3: I was in O'Neil, Nebraska, the Irish capital of Nebraska. Yeah,

476
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 3: and it worked fine, like a peach. And they're being

477
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 3: a little defensive. They're like, well, it's our wireless pack

478
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 3: and it worked for that, and they plug it in

479
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 3: another guitar and it works, and I go, all right,

480
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 3: maybe this is my guitar. And so then they go,

481
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 3: well what can we do? I go, let's min the

482
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 3: guitar and they go, no, that'll cost feedback. And I go, well,

483
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 3: you just run a direct line?

484
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 1: What do you?

485
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 3: I go, can we just run a direct line to see?

486
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 3: And they go, well, no, it's not the line. It's

487
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 3: because this wireless pack worked on this other guitar, And

488
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 3: I go, can we try a direct line? I would

489
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 3: love to have tried a direct line. They again, they

490
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 3: were so nice. They were not They were kind of

491
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 3: embarrassed for me. And I was like, hey, I'm I'm fine.

492
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 2: If it's my guitar, it's my guitar or whatever. We

493
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 2: tried to put a battery and we did all.

494
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 3: The things, and then they go somebody went and ran

495
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 3: and found a youth pastor guitar, which is the best

496
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 3: as I could describe.

497
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: It, like the water on the wall right there. Yeah,

498
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: it's worse than that.

499
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 3: Oh, it was a Fender, OK, a Fender Acoustic, and

500
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 3: if you know anything about guitars, Fender makes some of

501
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 3: the best electric guitars in the world and some of

502
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 3: the worst acoustics. They never figured out acoustics. This thing

503
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 3: had strings on it that were like piano wire. They

504
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 3: were rusty, and it was out of tune. So I'm

505
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 3: trying to tune it. We've not we've not done a

506
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 3: sound check yet, and some eager leader lets the kids

507
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 3: into the room. So now I'm on stage holding a

508
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,239
Speaker 3: guitar that I've never played, trying to tune it with

509
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 3: no sound check, and I'm getting ready to have to

510
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 3: do fifty.

511
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: You're about to be a meme.

512
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 3: I'm getting ready to do fifty five minutes of comedy.

513
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 3: I'm already nervous about the thing because I.

514
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: Can't talk about guns and roses or whatever exactly. Whatever.

515
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, anybody's seeing this American idol whatever I'm gonna say.

516
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 2: You guys know how old I am. I'm not going

517
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 2: to tell you who is Justice Beaver. I'm already already nervous.

518
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 2: And then now I've got an instrument that I've never played,

519
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 2: and I set it on the stand. I go, this

520
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 2: will have to work because I can't believe how loud

521
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 2: this thing is. And I'm really really.

522
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 3: Sorry John's being attacked overhead by a remote control helicopter.

523
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to affect your experience listening.

524
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 2: As long as we do, nothing can affect their experience.

525
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: No, no, no, this is great.

526
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 3: Anyway, we start the thing, and I'm already in my

527
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 3: head going through the thing of like, well, I'll omit

528
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 3: these jokes, this joke, this joke, or I won't you know,

529
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 3: And then I'm already saying like, well, I'll do less

530
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 3: guitar because I don't know this guitar is reliable.

531
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 2: It may not even stay in tuned. Can you imagine

532
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 2: what the kids? You'd do more guitar? I was gonna

533
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 2: do more music. Yeah, now I'm like this could these

534
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 2: strings could all break? So then and I strum you're

535
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 2: telling marriage jokes to a bunch of middle school.

536
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: Exactly you know, no when your wife. But they're like,

537
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: we don't know.

538
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 2: Not only did we not know, but for whatever I

539
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 2: couldn't believe it, but for whatever.

540
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 3: Reason, I did really well. The kids were all in.

541
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 3: They were just the nicest audience, and they laughed hard,

542
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 3: and then I got to the guitar part, and the

543
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 3: guitar worked. It did not sound great because we had

544
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 3: a chance to like really even eq it and it's

545
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 3: a Fender, but it was not a sponsor. But if

546
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 3: you want to sponsor me electric, lift Fender electric. Let's

547
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 3: go Fender Electric. But anyway, they couldn't have gone better.

548
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 3: Sanny O was great. And now I told Herry, I go,

549
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna do colorings, and it's it's like

550
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 3: I'm It's like I'm at the table and I've won

551
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 3: a couple of hands of black jack, and I'm up,

552
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 3: And do I stay at the table until I lose

553
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 3: five more hands of black jack?

554
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: Or do I get up and leave me cross the

555
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: Atlantic on the Titanic. Yeah? Right, I'm like, well, it's

556
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. I'm sure.

557
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no Iceberg out there, there's no eighth grade Iceberg.

558
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 3: That's going to be like no. I was just trying

559
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 3: so hard not to say six to seven. That was

560
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 3: my only goal, Like, is there any jonment? I say

561
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 3: six to seven because I don't want to derail this

562
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 3: show with a six seven.

563
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: Boy, they have loved it, Yeah, but it would have

564
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: it's funny.

565
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 3: For I want to control the narrative of why they're laughing,

566
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 3: not let it be like some inside joke that nobody

567
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 3: really understands in the world. Yeah, anyway, but I got

568
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,479
Speaker 3: through it. And then then I did a sold out

569
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 3: show and define Ohio to a little theater and when

570
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 3: we came home, so it was a lot of a

571
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 3: little of everything we did. We did a youth I mean,

572
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 3: I just I when I tell you I had not

573
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 3: done a youth show in you know, two years.

574
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm proud of you because you have to really stretch

575
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: yourself to go well, you have to really need the money.

576
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,959
Speaker 3: That is what you have to do, right. Yeah, No,

577
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 3: it was fine, and I think I'm gonna go. I

578
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 3: think I'm gonna do cars and then we're going to

579
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 3: see if that was the right decisions.

580
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 2: You're saying you won't mean you to get back in

581
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 2: the youth ministry, buddy, I think it's been time.

582
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: We're getting the band back toge Ready.

583
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

584
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 3: I was telling the story the other day about how

585
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 3: we would always go into towns to do Christian rock,

586
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 3: our Christian rock band, Scarlet Thread.

587
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: And we'd go, they go, there's going to be three

588
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: hundred kids, and we'd show up and they'd go, we

589
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: don't know what happened.

590
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 3: Then there's thirty kids coming and they're excited, and then

591
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 3: we'd find out, like right before the show, they go,

592
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 3: the Power Team is in town. I was talking about

593
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 3: the Power Team and the Power Team. If you don't go,

594

00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 3: the Power Team is, they were this Christian thing in

596
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 3: the nineties and early odds that would do like feats

597
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 3: of strength and give their testimony. It's hard to beat,

598
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 3: it's hard to top. You get a muscle man come

Speaker 3: to your school, is ripping phone come to your church.

600

Speaker 3: He's tearing phone books, He's bending rebar over his head.

601
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 3: He's blowing up water bottles, hot water bottles the strength

602
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 3: of his lungs.

603
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: We didn't We didn't have any of that.

604
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 2: Lifting cars. We had he's lifting cars with his face.

605
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 2: You're breaking ice over his chest, like a big blocks

606
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 2: of ice. They're throwing a sledge. We had a few

607
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 2: CCM tunes that we were going to be playing.

608
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh that's different. Poorly written. No, they weren't poorly written,

609
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 3: stop it.

610
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: We just didn't. We weren't strong enough. No, that's true.

611
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: We needed to be working out. Well. He would always

612
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: do feats of strength.

613
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 3: I would after a while, after like five towns that

614
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 3: we went to that the Power Team had derailed our show,

615
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 3: I started like tearing stacks and napkins. Yeah, and before

616
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 3: I do this, I just want to say, I'm just

617
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 3: doing a whole going to get you into the whole thing.

618
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: But anyway, we did it.

619
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,800

669
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: Young people people deal with young people today.

670
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: Kids today is Thomas Brooks born sixteen oh eight died

671
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 2: sixteen eighty that's a decent, decent life. In the sixteen hundred,

672
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 2: English Puritan preacher and a prolific author, widely regarded as

673
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 2: one of the most pastoral and readable voices of the periods.

674
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: In the era, he said.

675
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 2: The Lord Jesus hath as great and as large an

676
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 2: interest in the weakest saints as he hath in the strongest.

677
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 2: He had the interest of a friend, in the interest

678
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 2: of a father, in the interest of a head, in

679
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 2: the interest of a husband.

680
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: And therefore those saints be weak, yay, though they be

681
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: very weak.

682
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 2: Yet having as great and as large an interest in

683
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 2: them as in the strongest saints, he cannot but overlook

684
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 2: their weakness and keep a fixed eye upon their graces.

685
00:28:55,120 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 2: I we were talking yesterday and staff, meaning we always

686
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 2: do a kind of.

687
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: Thought of the week.

688
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 2: We rotate with the staff, you know, and one of

689
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 2: our guys when I was speaking Sunday, I actually told

690
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 2: a story from staff meeting about a moment he could

691
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 2: have been offended at something, and he had chosen when

692
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 2: we talked later to talk about, Oh, I know how

693
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 2: that person's wired. And I imagine that must have been

694
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 2: hard when they heard this, this and this like instead

695
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 2: of instead of like being offended, he absorbed it, he

696
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 2: absorbed the offense. And so the inside of that was

697
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 2: is he was talking about how hard it is for

698
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 2: him to know what to do with You might call

699
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 2: it a compliment or something like that. Because I think

700
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 2: we read that one time on the podcast some theologian said,

701
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 2: you know, the only person who can have true humility

702
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 2: has to be completely unaware of it because the moment,

703
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 2: the moment you're aware of humility, then you cross into

704
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 2: something else. So you almost have to like live in

705
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 2: a humbled state. You're being humbled and it hurts real bad,

706
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 2: but you won't know it, you know. And so I

707
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 2: was talking to him about like I said something that

708
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 2: really I haven't said out loud in this way, but

709
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 2: it really stuck with me since yesterday.

710
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, when and I feel distant.

711
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 2: From God a lot, and just just by feelings, right,

712
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 2: I don't take that as anything anymore. Really, they're real

713
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 2: and they're valid, but they're not reality, and they're always

714
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 2: there trying to there's always that inner critic or everyone

715
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 2: to say it, always trying to pull me somewhere different.

716
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 2: And I was like, if I'm honest, it's a really

717
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 2: hard place for me to go. But probably where I

718
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 2: feel most known and authentic with God is when I

719
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 2: can come to the place where I can feel that

720
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 2: He is proud of me or pleased with me. And

721
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 2: it is super hard and the other guy, my buddy,

722
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 2: he's a six like I am. And he was just like,

723
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 2: oh yeah, I was like yeah, Like just saying the

724
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: words is hard for me. Yeah, because our theology teaches

725
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 2: us right that when did Paul say in me nothing good?

726
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: Dwells?

727
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 2: And there's there's that desire to be humble. There's a

728
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 2: desire not to well and not to rest on your laurels.

729
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 3: Like you you don't want to like, Okay, well I'm

730
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 3: gonna rest on this, and that means that I'm gonna

731
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 3: let myself go or let myself yeah, right, and or

732
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 3: you don't want to just trying to stay vigilant and earn.

733
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 3: You're trying to earned if you're honest.

734
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 2: But there's a there's a online though, of not taking

735
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 2: glory right in anything that you do, and recognizing even

736
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 2: if you do something right or believe something right or

737
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 2: say something right, you know.

738
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: I I think it was Tim Keller. I was listening

739
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: to a thing the other day.

740
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 2: He said, the entire doctrine of predestination really has one purpose.

741
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 2: I never heard him say it like this or it

742
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 2: said like this. It's not to try to predict who's

743
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 2: going to heaven. Who's not to debate whether there's fairness

744
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 2: in the elect or whatever. He goes, the whole real

745
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 2: purpose of that doctrine is so that nobody will stand

746
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 2: on anything but God's mercy, he said, because and he

747
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 2: went through this like this scenario. He was like, so

748
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 2: if you say, okay, I believed and my neighbor did not,

749
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 2: you know, why do you think that is? Well, that's

750
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 2: because I chose to put faith in God. Okay, why

751
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 2: did you choose to put faith in God? Because I

752
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 2: can sit And he kept going, Okay, well why did

753
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 2: you do that?

754
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: But why did you do that? But why did you

755
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: do that?

756
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 2: Because in the end, if you keep going all the

757
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 2: way back, it's supposed to take you to the place

758
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 2: where you go there was nothing I could actually do.

759
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: God had to put that thought.

760
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 2: And so instead of you know, focusing on the fairness

761
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 2: of the neighbor and what they did or did not do,

762
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 2: the whole we missed the whole purpose. The real purpose

763
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 2: is to say that none of us stand on anything

764
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 2: before God but his mercy. And I think it's that

765
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 2: idea that keeps us from feeling that God could be

766
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 2: pleased with us on any front, or that God's only

767
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 2: pleased with us simply through the sacrifice of Jesus. And

768
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 2: I do believe what I just said is theologically accurate,

769
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 2: but I think it also depersonalizes maybe the love of

770
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 2: God sometimes, because we do see in scripture where God

771
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 2: will say, like, I mean to the unbelieving.

772
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: He was the guy that that.

773
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 2: I forget the centurion right who's praying and God, and

774
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 2: an angel appears and says, hey, you know, God has

775
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 2: seen the alms you give to the poor and the

776
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:20,959
Speaker 2: way you're trying to honor him.

777
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: There's going to become a God in Paul that I

778
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: want you to go with him.

779
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 2: And he's going to tell you, like there was a

780
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 2: sense of pleasure in what in that guy that I

781
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 2: don't think is the same thing as him earning God's favor,

782
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 2: earning salvation. But so we throw that whole baby Jesus

783
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 2: out with the bathwater on that one, right, Like we

784
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 2: are just completely worthless before God, and only because of

785
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 2: Jesus does he have any interest or even any any

786
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 2: liking towards us. It was like, but if I could

787
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 2: bring myself to the place where I can hear the

788
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 2: pleasure of the Father towards me as a beloved son,

789
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 2: not because of performance really, just because I don't just

790
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,719
Speaker 2: that's just love. And I started thinking, we made you.

791
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 2: He's proud of you because he made you well. And again,

792
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 2: we just had somebody on staff, you know, a couple

793
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 2: that just had a baby, and you know when they

794
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 2: send pictures, it's not I mean, they couldn't be more proud,

795
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 2: and the baby has done nothing to deserve.

796
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: But the last thing they'd want the baby to think.

797
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,280
Speaker 2: Is well, my parents just have to love me, because

798
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 2: that's what's right. They would want they're a kid to

799
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 2: know that. No, no, it's not just because you're a

800
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 2: baby like all other babies. It's because you're you're mind

801
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,399
Speaker 2: and whatever is unique about there are unique things about

802
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 2: you that's like nobody else and and you have you

803
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 2: have that.

804
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 1: Can I be displeased with things that you do?

805
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 2: Sure, But I just think that I thought this quote

806
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 2: really hit that well, that God has all this interest

807
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 2: in us, regardless of our weaknesses, and that he has

808
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 2: this fixed eye upon other things within us that he

809
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 2: is it's hard. It's like God is equipping us and

810
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 2: I think rooting for us. The Bible says that there

811
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 2: are there is a that the Living translation calls it

812
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 2: the grand stands of Heaven, right, that that there's this

813
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 2: this great sort of surrounding crowd of faith, that that

814
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,959
Speaker 2: a cloud of witnesses is another way they would say,

815
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 2: so are they are they cheering for us? Are they

816
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 2: are they hoping that we make it well? I mean,

817
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 2: if if the saints can hope that we make it right?

818
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 2: And we even know theologically that when Lazarus and the

819
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 2: rich Man died, that there was a conversation happening beyond

820
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 2: this life of concern about those who are still on

821
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 2: the earth. Right, even the wicked rich Man was asking, Hey,

822
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 2: can you go say my brothers? And so how much

823
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 2: more do I think there's interest from saints beyond in

824
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 2: what's happening to us here? If the saints have interest,

825
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 2: and how much more the Father? Yeah, right, and that

826
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,479
Speaker 2: he's he's wanting good things for us and seeing through

827
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 2: the eyes of other things. And again I'm always scared

828
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 2: it's gonna be like someone's gonna interpret that is so,

829
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:04,879
Speaker 2: if you do a good job, God's proud of you.

830
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 2: And that may be true, but that's not a pride

831
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,919
Speaker 2: unto salvation or unto other things.

832
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 1: I think it can be a fatherly pride.

833
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:17,479
Speaker 2: But I find for me my most I feel most

834
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 2: at home with God when I'll let that very uncomfortable

835
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 2: thought in that I am found to be pleasing the

836
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 2: eyes of my father.

837
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: So anyway, just sharing that today, it's good. I like it.

838
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 1: That's good stuff. Let's do My saying was John, let's

839
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: do old jokes.

840
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 3: We call it joke about that, John, I think I've

841
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 3: bought the world's worst thesaurus.

842
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 1: Not only is it awful, it's awful. I like that.

843
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 3: A ninety five year old man was overheard by the

844
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 3: staff at his carol I'm calling his wife sweetee and

845
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 3: honey when she was in the bathroom. One of the

846
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 3: staff asked him his secret. How do you remain so

847
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 3: loving all these years? He answered, well, it's been ten years.

848
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 3: I've forgotten their name. I'm scared to ask her now.

849
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 3: That's great. And John, finally, I'm never donating blood again.

850
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 3: The many you walk in the door, it's just questions

851
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 3: like where did you get it? And why is it

852
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 3: in a bucket? That one's dark. That's good, John, Let's

853
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 3: do this week in history, we call it talk about then, John,

854
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 3: this week was Saint Patrick's day. A lot of us

855
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 3: celebrated yesterday. You stayed on this side of inebriation. I

856
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:38,240
Speaker 3: think I did, Okay, we celebrate the life of Saint Patrick,

857
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 3: who died on this date. Various sources give the year

858
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 3: as AD four sixty, four sixty one or four ninety three,

859
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 3: which is a big variance.

860
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: That's big in the death all the copycats.

861
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, four sixty four sixty one or four ninety three,

862
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 3: we're just way off. Saint Patrick's color was originally blue,

863
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 3: but over the years it has changed to green to

864
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 3: commemorate his use of the shmrock to explain the Trinity

865
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,919
Speaker 3: to Pagans. That's why it ended up being green, because

866
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 3: he was explaining three and one to Pagans using a

867
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 3: shamrock a clover, and he says, God is three. This

868
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 3: is like, this is three, there's three leaves. It's one,

869
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 3: God's three and one the trinity. So they go, now,

870
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 3: your color is green. So when I wore that blue sweater,

871
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 3: I was closer to Saint Patrick's original vision.

872
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 2: Right intentionally, And you know the whole you know the story, right,

873
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 2: the historical story about the snakes in Ireland. That's exactly

874
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 2: what wife said last night. It's so funny. So you

875
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 2: know Patrick was not Irish, okay, he was English, sure,

876
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 2: and then he was stolen and trafficked into slavery in

877
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 2: Ireland as a boy okay, basically forced to keep the

878
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:58,919
Speaker 2: flocks of his you know master. And that's for those

879
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 2: years in the fields by himself and I in the

880
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 2: coltons of where he.

881
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: Really became very close with God, all right.

882
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 2: And then he escaped, yeah, and went back home and

883
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 2: grew up, and then began having dreams from the people

884
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 2: his captors basically saying come back to come back to

885
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:18,439
Speaker 2: Ireland and walk among us again.

886
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: And he felt that it was God calling him, and

887
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: he did.

888
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 2: He went back to the land of his captivity, wow, okay,

889
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 2: and took the gospel.

890
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 1: And I mean built it.

891
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 2: Won, thousands of baptized, thousands of people, built monasteries. But yeah,

892
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 2: he was the apostle to the Irish who has?

893
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: Who had? But he knew their culture and knew who

894
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: they were. That's crazy.

895
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 3: That's a great this guy. Come on, man, and now

896
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 3: we dye the river green and get lit. Yeah, it's

897
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 3: not the same. No, I don't think he would. No,

898
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,760
Speaker 3: I don't think he would have dug that. But anyway,

899
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:54,240
Speaker 3: my blue sweater was more historically accurate. We ever knew.

900
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 3: That's right, John. This week James the Fourth was born.

901
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 3: He was born fourteen seventy three. He was the King

902
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 3: of Scotland. And he makes the list because he banned

903
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 3: golf but later became a golfer himself. Okay, okay, so

904
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 3: come on y'all. Fourteen ninety one he reaffirmed a ban

905
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 3: on golf that had started in fourteen fifty seven when

906
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 3: James the Second band golf and football to preserve the

907
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 3: skills of archery. So this wasn't some religious like we've

908
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 3: got to get more into the church losing archery. Sportz er,

909
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 3: we're losing archery. We've got to do something. The ban

910
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 3: was lifted in fifteen oh two with the signing of

911
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,280
Speaker 3: the Treaty of Perpetual Peace between England and Scotland. James

912
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 3: soon became a golfer himself and made the first recorded

913
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 3: purchase of golf equipment, a set of golf clubs from

914
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 3: a bow maker in Perth. Wait a minute, Wait a second,

915
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 3: he's buying golf equipment from a bow maker. The whole

916
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 3: point of banning golf was to save archery. Meanwhile, this

917
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 3: guy who's an archer himself, he's like, I gotta get

918
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 3: a side hustle here.

919
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 1: I got to make some golf because archery is going downhill.

920
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 3: That to me, this story is more about side hustles

921
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 3: than it is about hypocrisy. I abandon golf and then

922
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 3: taking up golf. Golf is a seductive mistress. It's going

923
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 3: to lure you in. But it's the guy who's the

924
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 3: bowmaker that's like, let me go ahead, and an extra

925
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,720
Speaker 3: fi this sorry six bits.

926
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 2: Anyway, Happy birthday, James the fourth, and hit.

927
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 3: Him well out there today, wherever you may be. John

928
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 3: born this week, eighteen thirty seven. Grover Cleveland. He was

929
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 3: an American politician, the twenty second and twenty fourth US President.

930
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 3: I did not realize that, and governor from New York

931
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 3: eighteen eighty three to eighteen eighty five. And there's a

932
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 3: list of things about him that I did not know.

933
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 3: And you may know all you're a US history guy.

934
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 3: Did you know a lot about Grover Cleveland? Hwa, dustle?

935
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 3: Did you know that he was one of the first

936
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 3: people to be in non successive terms?

937
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: Okay, you knew that part he was.

938
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 2: He was the first democratic US president since the Civil War,

939
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 2: so he avoided the Civil War draft by hiring someone

940
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 2: to take his place. And I know that this guy,

941
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 2: I mean this, this list is wild. In eighteen ninety three,

942
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,879
Speaker 2: he had a tumor in his mouth, secretly removed under

943
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 2: the guise of going on a fishing trip. He had

944
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 2: doctors remove the tumor while a board of friend's yacht.

945
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 2: They removed the tumor, along with about five teeth and

946
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 2: a large part of his upper left jaw. When a

947
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 2: reporter uncovered the story, Cleveland denied it and launched a

948
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 2: smear campaign to discredit the reporter because it was setting.

949
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 2: You know, obviously this is pre internet, obviously way but

950
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 2: still important that a politician not show this level of

951
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 2: weakness you're going to be in photos.

952
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,760
Speaker 1: But he had five teeth in his upper jaw remove

953
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: and a reporter that reported it.

954
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,760
Speaker 3: He goes, not only is it not true, he doubles

955
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,320
Speaker 3: down and smears the guy. This is like what Lance

956
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 3: Armstrong did. I mean, he was being you know, like

957
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 3: rightfully accused of things. He was just like he just

958
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 3: like wrecked all these reporters' careers because he had the

959
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:44,760
Speaker 3: high ground.

960
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 2: Sometimes he protest too much, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, man,

961
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 2: he's projecting with no teeth all the you all the more.

962
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 2: Cleveland was the first US president deserved two nonconsecative terms.

963
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 2: He was the first and only US president married in

964
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 2: the White House, and the second to wed while in office.

965
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 2: You know that, forty nine year old Cleveland married a

966
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 2: twenty one year old Francis Fulsom, making her the youngest

967
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 2: US first lady twenty one, forty nine and twenty one.

968
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,879
Speaker 1: Wow, that's that's yeah.

969
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 3: Their first child, Ruth Cleveland, was born between his terms

970
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 3: as US President and became an instant media sensation, popularly

971
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 3: known as John H.

972
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: Baby Ruth. There you.

973
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 3: In nineteen twenty one, seventeen years after her death, the

974
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 3: Curtis Candy Company renamed their candy cake Candy Bar two

975
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 3: K's Candy Cake. They renamed it Baby Ruth in honor

976
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 3: of her Coincidentally, the famous baseball player Babe Ruth. George

977
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 3: Hermanruth had hit fifty one fifty four home runs the

978
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 3: year before and had been the home run leader since

979
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,720
Speaker 3: nineteen eighteen. Had they named it Babe Ruth? They probably

980
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 3: would have had to compensate him. So it's named more

981
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 3: for the baby. But people, I think assume it's Babe Ruth.

982
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 3: But it's a name for Grover Cleveland's daughter with a

983
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 3: twenty one year old Grover Cleveland's portrait graces the US

984
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 3: one thousand dollars bill, which I.

985
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: Think are out of circulation. So I got a couple

986
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 1: over here if you want to see. Yeah, I think

987
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: let me have a look after the show. Maybe John

988
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 1: mister Rogers was born.

989
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 3: We have a lot of births birthdays this week, nineteen

990
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 3: twenty eight, Fred Rogers, and he makes the list because

991
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 3: it's mister Rogers.

992
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 1: Dude. We need more, We need a lot more mister Rogers. People.

993
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,239
Speaker 3: I've talked about him on the show before, but I

994
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 3: see that you see the documentary and the movie that

995
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 3: they made about him. I think he was teaching Americans

996
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 3: how to be a different kind of man.

997
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Yeah, and I do. I mean,

998
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: I just I.

999
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 3: Think that that guy is somebody that his impact is

1000
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 3: We're still learning more. He was an American Emmy winging

1001
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 3: TV personality Presbyterian minister. One of his sweaters which was

1002
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 3: knitted by his mother's on display in the Smithsonian quote,

1003
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 3: You've made this day a special day just by your

1004
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 3: being you. There's no person in the whole world like you,

1005
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 3: and I like you just the way you are. Why

1006
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 3: he announces, Why he announces he's feeding the fish as

1007
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 3: he's feed This is why he makes the list. This

1008
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 3: is really why he makes the list. This is one

1009
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 3: of my favorite stories of all time. And this is

1010
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 3: all about empathy and why we need more empathy in

1011
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 3: the world. So anyway you go to feed the fish.

1012
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,320
Speaker 3: He started in this show saying I'm feeding the fish

1013
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 3: right now. He did that because one girl in her

1014
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 3: family wrote to tell us when please say when you're

1015
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 3: feeding the fish, because I worry about them. I can't

1016
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 3: see if you're feeding them, so please say you're feeding

1017
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 3: them out loud.

1018
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: She's eight said.

1019
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 3: This is from Katie, age five, and the father's note

1020
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,359
Speaker 3: below the letter said, Katie is blind and she does

1021
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 3: cry if you don't say your love that you have

1022
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 3: fed the fish.

1023
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: She worries about them.

1024
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 2: So mister Rogers took that in and had the emotional

1025
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 2: iq to then from then on say I'm feeding the

1026
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 2: fish for that one little girl.

1027
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,879
Speaker 1: Wow, I mean mister rogers.

1028
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 3: Do John finally born this week nineteen oh four BF Skinner.

1029
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 3: He's an American psychologist, pioneer and behaviorism, which did not

1030
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 3: know was the thing. But behaviorism, you know social.

1031
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 2: It's like cottonhavioral theory theology, the behaviorism is it different sociology.

1032
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:05,399
Speaker 1: He worked on a.

1033
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:10,760
Speaker 3: World War two project Pigeon, which attempted to develop pigeon

1034
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 3: guided bombs. A glider with a bomb attached had a

1035
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 3: guidance system in the nosecone. The guidance system projected an

1036
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 3: image onto a screen. Several pigeons that were trained to

1037
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 3: recognize a particular target would peck at the screen when

1038
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 3: they saw the target. If the target moved to the

1039
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 3: edge of the screen, the pigeons.

1040
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 2: Pecking would follow it on the screen, and the guidance

1041
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 2: system would adjust the direction of the glider to recenter

1042
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 2: the target, thus keeping the glider on course. I have

1043
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 2: no idea what happened with this project, or it was

1044
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 2: like something they were just trying, and then the pigeons

1045
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 2: were just not.

1046
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: Great at this. I mean they're in the middle of

1047
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: a battle. Just the fact that they thought.

1048
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 3: I bet we could train pigeons to do this, and

1049
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 3: then they're like, we got men and bombs and war,

1050
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 3: why don't we involve some birds. I mean it's other

1051
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 3: reasoning homing pigeons and things. But yeah, they sent carrier

1052
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 3: pigeons in War one. I think this is a pigeon

1053
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 3: doing like a tech job, right, a pigeon helping you

1054
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 3: find your target?

1055
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:05,320
Speaker 1: Wow?

1056
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you don't hear a lot about it, Like,

1057
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 3: I don't think this is still going on, so obviously

1058
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 3: we can say this is probably a failed program.

1059
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, these were the unsung heroes the uh man, why

1060
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:18,440
Speaker 2: is no one talking about the pigeons?

1061
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 3: They're getting a little tiny metal of freedoms. I don't know, man,

1062
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 3: they're out there though. Yeah, there's a pigeon in a

1063
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 3: park somewhere. It's like my grandpa fought in WWS right now.

1064
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 1: The greatest pigeon generation. Oh my goodness, wasn't it though? Yeah?
