1
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Life audio.

2
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 2: Today, I'll talk about that. John wonders if trees are

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 2: weaker in the South and prepares for Y two K

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 2: with his dad. Meanwhile, I ponder getting a taser and thin.

5
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 2: Groucho Marx would have loved the new six to seven craze.

6
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 2: Lots of conversation about the sins that upset humans the

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: most and whether they're the ones God is focused on.

8
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: Today's episode is not sponsored by spaghetti Sauce staining your

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: tupperware containers since nineteen forty six, but first award from

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: our actual sponsor.

11
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: Well, we hope you're safe out there in the winter storms.

12
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: But Johnny, we're in here and talk about that, ready

13
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: to bring the relief people need. Have they been stuck

14
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: indoors for a.

15
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 2: Like real relief?

16
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: No?

17
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: Like a lineman could? I think it's interesting that you

18
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: have linemen who are like saving your electricity and linemen

19
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: who are like football players who tech the quarterback.

20
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: I've never heard of the person doing the electrical lines

21
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:05,279
Speaker 1: referred to as a lineman.

22
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, lineman, Like there's a big lineman. All the linemen

23
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: are working like eighteen hour shifts now and they're just

24
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: having a sandwich in their truck and they get back

25
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: out there and they do more because all these trees

26
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: have iced over and they fell over on the power lines.

27
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: I had someone today ask me they their husband was

28
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: from Michigan, and she was so mad and she was like,

29
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: are all the trees down here just weaker?

30
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 2: Huh?

31
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: Like everyone's trees in the south are just bent over,

32
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: and like we don't remember the trees in mad At

33
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: the tree lost electricity for like four days. She has

34
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,839
Speaker 1: little kids. She's like, what is wrong with y'all's trees?

35
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 1: Why can't the trees just be just not be so

36
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: exploding around here?

37
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: If I put a thousand pounds of ice on your back,

38
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: I bet you'd huddle over.

39
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: Well, but there's ice all up north. Yeah, we need

40
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: to ask our northern This is different.

41
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: Though maybe it is true like that the trees had

42
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: it too good for too long. These trees aren't ready

43
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 2: for nothing.

44
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly, they're just yeah little whimps.

45
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 2: And part of it's the wind because the weight and

46
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 2: then the wind comes through and it just does the

47
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 2: funnel man.

48
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: Isn't that just like some of y'all are ready for.

49
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: The ice, but you ain't ready for the wind.

50
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: You built your house on ice instead of the rock. Wait,

51
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: hold on the rock was icy? Yes, so you dug

52
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: in the sand. I don't know what had happened. Was

53
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: is that freezing rain coated every branch? I will say this,

54
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: it looks like the first Narnia movie.

55
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: It is crazy pretty, like when the sun shines right

56
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: through it, it's like diamonds in the trees.

57
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: And every branch is like its own little work of

58
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: art discovered.

59
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: And then you pan back and that shiny branch is

60
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 2: laying across the power line and there's a family huddled

61
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: in with no right inside. But the first the first scene,

62
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: very pretty, very pretty. Yeah, well you had your j

63
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 2: I was so excited for you because I was like,

64
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 2: John's going to get to use this generator. He gets

65
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: to be a real man. And then your power came

66
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: on all too soon.

67
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: I used it for about i'd say fifteen hours.

68
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 2: Oh you didn't even get a full day out of it.

69
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: It went off. It went out at like seven am. Yeah,

70
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: and yeah, I had it ready.

71
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 2: You were like so glad because you bought it like

72
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 2: four days before, right, and you were like it's coming

73
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: this It took some I gave you a little advice.

74
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 2: I said, don't do that, don't let this happen again.

75
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 2: They go spend the money and get one, and then

76
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 2: the next you sent me a photo later that you

77
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: were like, I did it.

78
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: I did?

79
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: It was like whatever, A thousand bucks or something more?

80
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: What'd you spend?

81
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to say why. It was more expensive

82
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: than I thought it was. Should have been the deal.

83
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: I got a harbor freight take it back. So well, no, no,

84
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: come on, you wouldn't.

85
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: Do that, that's true, But looking for general, you're gonna

86
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: need it again.

87
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: I got the inverter, which is quieter and safer than

88
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: the generator.

89
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: Because it doesn't there's something about putting too much like

90
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: backflow into the line or something. It's dangerous for the linemen. Yeah,

91
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: because they talk about it. Yeah, people, if everybody's using generators,

92
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: are something you're supposed to do to keep it from

93
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: sending a surge into the I wish.

94
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: I knew more about electricity, just say things. Although this

95
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: time I did have to go through now and write

96
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: down all the wattage from each of the things I

97
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: was using to make sure it didn't pass the load.

98
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: So that was kind of fun.

99
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: Something y'all need to share the load over here. By

100
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: the way, John, if you'd like to share the load

Speaker 2: People have been nice.

115
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was on and I had I got one

116
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: of those parabolic heaters. Okay, it looks like a basically

117
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: it looks like a fan. Yeah, it's a metal plate.

118
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: But it doesn't blow.

119
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: Oh did it oscillate at all?

120
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: It does oscillate. Yeah, an oscillating parabolic heater.

121
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: I think, big, like satellite dish thing. Yeah, and it

122
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: is bright, uh huh.

123
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: And so I put that up in my mom's room

124
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: and then I put a little fan in front of

125
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: it because it did need some air circulation to get

126
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: the heat out there. She was great up there. Yeah,

127
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: but I have wires and I still, by the way,

128
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: I'm not taken it down. I have cords gaff taped

129
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: all over the floor safely so they're not tripping hazards. Okay,

130
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: across the kitchen, across wherever, and they're run through the

131
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: house now. So if it happens again, because it's still

132
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: not above freezing right, so if something happens again, I'm ready.

133
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: I mean, the generator is still out there.

134
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: Our buddy, our buddy, Brian Bates, lives in I think

135
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 2: Belle Mead, West Nashville, and he hasn't been I didn't

136
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 2: know he's been without power for four days. So I

137
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: see a video from him this morning. He's just like, yeah,

138
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 2: we're still without power. We've been in a hotel and

139
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: now we're moving into Nate's house. So he's moved over

140
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 2: to Neibourgainst. He's so like he's staying with Nate and

141
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: which that's got to be fun. I think Nate's not there.

142
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: Nate's in La so he's basically staying and Nate has

143
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: a guest out, so I think he might be the

144
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 2: Nate's guest house. But all that said, I was like,

145
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 2: you could have stayed my house has been empty. Yeah,

146
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 2: he could have just moved into but I don't know

147
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: if you can get to leven and he couldn't have

148
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: got to all the way to eleven from where he's at.

149
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: But that's it was.

150
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: It was sketchy, by the way, it still kind of skied.

151
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: They just called school for tomorrow.

152
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it doesn't take much though, well, because I mean,

153
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: you have people in far flung areas. You have to

154
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: be able to get everybody in. So if everybody's not

155
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 2: able to make it, you can't just say we're in. Yeah,

156
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: you gotta wait till it's totally clear. We call church

157
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: tonight for the kids. Okay, So here, I didn't know

158
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: you all had youth groups still on Wednesdays.

159
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: When else would you have it.

160
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 2: I don't know. Some peopleink the rules of the university changed.

161
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 2: We did Sunday Night forever. When you were a youth pastor.

162
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: Did you do Sunday Night in Alcoa? Yeah, but that

163
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: was were you a youth pastor then.

164
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: It was like twenty seven years ago.

165
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 2: Well, what's what's different?

166
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: A lot's changed in your philosophy.

167
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: The days of the week.

168
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: I do want I do think about how I would

169
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: do it differently now, like one I would know I.

170
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 2: Want, you just wouldn't do it.

171
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: What do you do?

172
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 2: Would you get into youth ministry if you had to

173
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 2: do it right now?

174
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: No? Yeah, I mean it had to be scared, Yeah,

175
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: because it's a I don't know, there is that feeling

176
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: of I would love to create, and that's what our

177
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: youth pastors do so well. I would love to create

178
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: a place of belonging for kids right now, because I

179
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: know that's what they're missing. They always have, sure, but

180
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: kids feel like they belong less now than they ever

181
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: have before because the isolation factor of social media and

182
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: the lack of interpersonal communication skills because of it, so

183
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: it's only used to communicating online. Yeah, so creating that

184
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: place would be fun.

185
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 2: I was thinking today about six seven, that whole phenomenon

186
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: about how kids are like waiting for someone to accidentally

187
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: say six to seven so they can and freak out

188
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 2: and nobody knows what it means, including them, And I

189
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: was thinking, I grew up I've talked about on the pod,

190
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: but I grew up watching niked Knight and Nick at

191
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 2: Night back then was old shows. They only had rights

192
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 2: to like they had some children shows, you know, for

193
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: teenagers or thirteen year olds, fourteen year olds, but then

194
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 2: they had like no programming for like after midnight. It

195
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: was just go dark. And so they put from like

196
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 2: midnight to like ten and ten am. They would put

197
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: on old properties that they had bought, like George Burns,

198
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: Gracie Allen, the Jack Benny Show. And one of the

199
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 2: shows they did was You Bet Your Life, which was

200
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 2: Gratcho Marx and Graucho Marx that it was like a

201
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 2: game show and they'd have people on this is the

202
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: nineteen forties, I think, And so I'm watching it. I'm

203
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: a fourteen year old watching these black on maybe eleven

204
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: or twelve, watching these black on white shows with these

205
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: old guys in suits making like the oldest jokes. But

206
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: it really informed my sense of comedy. But one of

207
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 2: the things I thought about six seven was Graucho Marx

208
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: would have the word of the day that if somebody

209
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: accidentally said it this bird, well he would tell the

210
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 2: audience beforehand, this little bird would come down from the

211
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: ceiling on like a puppet bird, and he would have

212
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 2: the word of the day would be like tomatoes or whatever,

213
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 2: and then he would would go back to the rafters.

214
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: And then if somebody accidentally said tomatoes or said it

215
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: in just one of their interviews or whatever or in

216
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 2: their answer or whatever, the burden the rumin it would

217
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 2: come down and people and people would freak out and

218
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: I think the person would win money or I don't

219
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 2: know how it work, but I think six seven is

220
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: the word of the day. It's a it's a it's

221
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: a little easter egg. Groucho Marx would be proud.

222
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: Just wrote about in the book with a Guy, because

223
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: he talks about it. It's a it is a like

224
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: culture belonging thing for that generation that they're trying to

225
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: have something that the older generation can't.

226
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the minute we the reason it's starting to

227
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 2: die is older people are doing it and it becomes

228
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 2: immediately uncool. You're doing it wrong.

229
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I don't do the six seventh thing. Yeah,

230
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: I just I just don't just not go. I don't

231
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: try to play uh huh. Now I'll listen to the

232
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: same music with her. I'll listen to her music.

233
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: Well, part of that's like you just want to know

234
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: if it's awful, right, You want to know if it

235
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 2: is something you know what I mean.

236
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: I never made a big deal about music. I'm just like,

237
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: I mean, because everything out there is sexual, and you know,

238
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: I'm just like, I'll say, wow, that was really sexual man,

239
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: that it had a great payh that's the point. Yeah,

240
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: that's why I like it. She was reading to me

241
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: the apology from Kanye West. Have you read the apology?

242
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: No? And I knew that he's kind of off the

243
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 2: rails now with the Nazism and the.

244
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: Well that's the thing. She was like, she really wanted

245
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: me to hear it. Yeah, and I really didn't want to.

246
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: Hear She's a Kanye person.

247
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: No, but she's just fascinating. It's just in the news

248
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: or in their world in the streams. Yeah, And I

249
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: was just like, she was like, yeah, he put out

250
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: he put out an apology. I was like, well, that's great.

251
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: She was like, it's right here, I have it right here,

252
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: and I go, that's awesome.

253
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 2: She's like his press secretary now.

254
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: She kept she's just well, she just wants to know

255
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: what I would think about it. Uh huh. But I

256
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: was actually fascinated. My wife speculates that probably not only

257
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: did some of their press people write it, but also

258
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: ai ai ye, but.

259
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 2: He did it more sincere sinned, and then like it

260
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 2: keeps adapting it.

261
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: He did I will say when I really you know,

262
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, please read it to me. I'd love

263
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: to hear it. When I finally did, the thoughts on

264
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: mental health and bipolar disorder were really fascinating, and he

265
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: totally owned it. He was just like, the thing he

266
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: said was when you're in a manic state, you don't

267
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 1: know that you're in a manic state, and so everything

268
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: you're saying feels right and real to you, and you think,

269
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: what is wrong with everybody else? And the more they

270
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: tell you something's wrong with you, the less inclined you

271
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:26,119
Speaker 1: are to believe.

272
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 2: It right, because you get paranoid that they're just trying

273
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 2: to control you or whatever.

274
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: So he goes into the Hitler stuff and the other things,

275
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: and he's like, I don't you know. He apologized to

276
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,599
Speaker 1: Jewish people and apologies like, I don't you know, I

277
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: can't believe I sold Schwashtika t shirts and everything like,

278
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: but I'm getting treated now.

279
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 2: In fact that they sold even scar the.

280
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: Scary part, people who don't have bipolar disorder bought them.

281
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 1: That's the scary part of influence, I think.

282
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 2: But hey, it's okay. This guy said it's okay. Finally, Well,

283
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:55,959
Speaker 2: and that's.

284
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: The that's sort of like the that's why I didn't

285
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: want to hear it in some way. It's just like

286
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 1: I don't want to give energy to things. But then

287
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: I had that thought of like, what do we really

288
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: want from people?

289
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: Right?

290
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: We want them to repent, we want them to say

291
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: they were wrong, And here's a guy trying to say

292
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: is wrong. So yeah, I do think.

293
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 2: That that's true. Like, if somebody's into extremism, which we

294
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 2: have a lot of people in the country, they're into

295
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 2: extremism right now, and you give them zero off ramp

296
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 2: to a normal life, you're just driving them further into

297
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 2: the extremism. Right. If you just like no, you're forever

298
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: dead to me because of this belief, it's like, well

299
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 2: now they just are going to be more deeply entrenched. Right.

300
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: It's one of those Andrew's really good at that. In it,

301
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: he'll talk about how radical true Christianity really is because

302
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: it does always have right an off ramp to grace

303
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: or on ramp. I don't know what tramp we're doing

304
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: here on the metaphor. But but it's towards people that

305
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: none of we all have some fact that that's what

306
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: my quotes is about today a little bit. But we

307
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: all have somebody that we don't want to get grace.

308
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: I think I am not somebody for some people.

309
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: I think you're not somebody for me.

310
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 2: This's awkward. That's why I want you to have it

311
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: just not now, John, you know you to have that

312
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 2: a word from a few of our fine sponsors. Do

313
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 2: you like that segue?

314
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: That was a flawless You can really tell we've turned

315
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: into pros. Oh yeah, I mean it's only been three

316
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety episodes.

317
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 2: Took this long figure it out?

318
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: Do you do you realize I can't think of many

319
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 1: things that have three hundred and ninety hours worth of content.

320
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: Too. Well, it's not been full hours as last few

321
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: we've we've kind of shaved it down to forty five ors,

322
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 2: maybe some couple of thirty eight ers. Okay, but yes,

323
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 2: it's a lot of time. It's a long time to talk.

324
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: It is. Do you ever wear we're going to run

325
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: of things to say?

326
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 2: I think it's all right.

327
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: I don't worry about repeating stories as much because sometimes

328
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: it's like I.

329
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: Learned that can they remember we told the story?

330
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: Being a pastor, I'm like, don't have the guys, if

331
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: you're if you're in ministry out there, Yeah, learn from

332
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: the old guy who's telling you that you don't have

333
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 1: to worry about repeating things all the time because they

334
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: don't remember remember everything you saw.

335
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 2: We believe you care, dear listener. Yeah, but but you

336
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: also give us grace because you're like, oh, I've heard this,

337
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: but I hope they tell it again. Maybe another little

338
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: detail will emerge.

339
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: By the way, if somebody asked about the parking lot Beanie, yeah,

340
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: the last that's right episode.

341
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 2: And you said you thought you had it with you,

342
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 2: but you didn't.

343
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: I have it right here.

344
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 2: Look at that right here. But parking lot Beanie lives

345
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 2: it got John's a poor person.

346
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: I left it somewhere the other day that panic. Yeah,

347
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: and I ran back in and it was gone, my baby,

348
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: that was my panic breathing. And I ran back in

349
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: and I couldn't find it. But the waitress had it

350
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: and she had been running out the door trying to

351
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: find me. Like, yeah, it was like it was like

352
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: a movie. It was like an old Tom Hanks Meg

353
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: Ryan movie. Yeah, anyway, I have the beanie still.

354
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 2: So, so you're buying a five thousand dollars generator, but

355
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 2: you need a trash being.

356
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: Five thousand dollars, it was fifty hundred dollars. Yeah, it

357
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: was way more than it was, like twelve hundred gators.

358
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: It's like to surprise you found one. Honestly, well, I

359
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: got there. People were there were guys like, give me

360
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: to me. There were guys like me hovering on the

361
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: on the.

362
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 2: Phone while they brought them.

363
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: Because we're all trying to go okay, because I'm doing all,

364
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: Me and Claude are having lots of conversations.

365
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: Okay, nobody wants to hear this. John, that's your conversation

366
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 2: with AI. What are you doing?

367
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: Because hey, Claude, how many watts does a refrigerator pull?

368
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: Or whatever? You know? And then I'm doing the math.

369
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 2: But you always say that Claude makes stuff up. You're

370
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 2: about to electricate yourself. Chat makes stuff up. You don't

371
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 2: think Claude Rock definitely makes stuff up. You don't think

372
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 2: Claude is being corrupted. Clode is the least of the evils.

373
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: Am I speaking? Am I speaking to Claude right now,

374
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 2: have you been assimilating into the borg.

375
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: Claude is more trainable. Claude would never lie up, but

376
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: never not a sponsor. It joins me about that time, though, Oh,

377
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: let's do it. It's my quarter of the week. It's

378
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: a segment we call. They talked about that. I'm going

379
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: Clive Staples. I don't even care Clive Staples. Lewis can't

380
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: beat it. He says. If anyone thinks that Christians regard

381
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: unchastity as the supreme vice, he is quite wrong. The

382
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: sins of the flesh are bad, but they are the

383
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: least bad of all sins. All the worst pleasures are

384
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: purely spiritual, the pleasure of putting other people in the wrong,

385
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: of bossing and patronizing, and spoiling sport and backbiting, the

386
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: pleasures of power of hatred. For there are two things

387
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: inside me competing with the human self which I must

388
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: try to become. They are the animal self and the

389
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: diabolical self. The diabolical self is the worst of the two.

390
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: That is why a cold, self righteous prig who goes

391
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: regularly to church may be far nearer to Hell than

392
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: a prostitute. But of course it is better to be neither.

393
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 2: Wow, that's good. I talked about that before. When I

394
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,959
Speaker 2: do churches on Sunday, I say that I think that

395
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 2: self righteousness is a bigger problem in the church and

396
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 2: unrighteousness because unrighteous people like at least know they need

397
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 2: a savior. You can't reach a self righteous person. They

398
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 2: don't know they need the life preserver. They're like, I'm

399
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 2: good and they're drowning.

400
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, people always ask me in ministry, what's

401
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: the unforgivable sin? Right? What does it mean to blasting

402
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit?

403
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 2: Almost they want to know who's in and who's out, Like,

404
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 2: that's the thing we don't know what that circles and

405
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 2: make sure we're on the inside.

406
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: Well, but most people, I always to me, blastering the

407
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit is not just speaking against the Holy Spirit.

408
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: I think there's two things. I think one it's attributing

409
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: the work of God to the enemy. One saying I'm

410
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: not even sure that's what blasting the Holy Spirit means.

411
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: I think that's one way to speak really badly against you.

412
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,719
Speaker 1: You're calling the things of God evil, right, You're well,

413
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: I mean you're saying kindness is bad and evil. Right,

414
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: You're saying empathy is bad and evil. I'm not calling

415
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: that blasphemy, but.

416
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 2: But it's in the ballpark in the spirit.

417
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: It's completely against anything scriptural, you know. But I think

418
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: the other thing, though, the more practical side of that,

419
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: is the only way to not receive grace is to

420
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: not receive grace, meaning you you never come around the

421
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: place rejection of it. Right, Yeah, you say, I don't.

422
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: I don't need that, I don't want that. That's not

423
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: for me. And so I think, like this idea, I mean,

424
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 1: this is pretty I think scandalous what he's saying.

425
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's pretty crazy to say it when he

426
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: said it too, when everybody was moralizing and even more

427
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 2: so than than now, even like the bad idea of

428
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 2: like moralizing it and judgmentalism of like prostitution, like he

429
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 2: mentions prostitution, he meances, you know, sinse of the flesh.

430
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 2: And he was saying, like most of the worst ones

431
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 2: are like thinking that you're better than another person.

432
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: Or well, it's like I always tell my friends in

433
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: recovery who were drug addicts or whatever. When I was

434
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: going through was like, the things that you are recovering

435
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: from are not even listed in the Bible, I mean,

436
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: alcoholism would have been, but we didn't have heroin or

437
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,959
Speaker 1: whatever at this point the principles there, I get it right,

438
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: but it's not mentioned. But the things I'm in recovery for,

439
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: like three or four of them are on the list

440
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: of things that God hates, my pride, the suspicious eyes,

441
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: the way I see the world. I mean, I mean,

442
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: you know one of the things that I came out

443
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: of recovery with. They said, worry is not responsibility, worry

444
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: is sin. We start thinking about just worrying being sinned,

445
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: but in the sense of again you have to identify

446
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: or not redefine sin. But most people think of sin

447
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: as the stuff that C. S. Lewis just talked about, right, Oh,

448
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 1: sin is when you, you know, consciously make this choice

449
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: to do this thing, as opposed to the condition of

450
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: sin right in the fallenness of the world being something

451
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: that you really can't escape from. You wake up in

452
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: a cloud every day. You're you're in the cloud, and

453
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: you're breathing in the things that are in that cloud.

454
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 1: And so that's why we need a savior constantly, not

455
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: just to save us from this committed, intentional thing, but

456
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: also the state of it, And I think when sin

457
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: gets boiled down to just the things we do and

458
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: not the place that we live, the fallenness around us.

459
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: And I'm not I'm not, you know, dismissing the things

460
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 1: that we do or saying those things don't matter. I'm

461
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: just saying, you can go all day today and not

462
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: do any of those things that you're worried about doing

463
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: and still not be free from sin, because it's a

464
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,199
Speaker 1: much bigger problem than just your choices, or we wouldn't

465
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 1: have needed the Savior. Can You can't get it through commandments,

466
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: like you're obeying everything.

467
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were talking on the road this weekend. One

468
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 2: of the other comics is looking buy like a taser

469
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 2: for his wife. They live in New York City, and

470
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 2: he's like, I'm trying to buy a handheld taser and

471
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 2: then he goes, well, you got to get close to

472
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 2: somebody to do that, and you don't want to be close,

473
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 2: that's the idea. So and you got to remember that

474
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 2: you have it. You got to remember how to use

475
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 2: it so you don't actually taze yourself. Like it's a lot.

476
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 2: He was like, I would tell her to get pepper

477
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 2: spray too, And then he started talking about pepper spray

478
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 2: as like, but you don't you don't want to ever

479
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 2: use it in a confined area like a subway car,

480
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 2: because you've pepper sprayed everybody, Like even if you hit

481
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 2: your mark, it consumes the entire area. Now you if

482
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 2: you're in an elevator. So it's like, I think that's

483
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 2: what happens. Sometimes we think we're doing like we're prescribing justice,

484
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 2: we're going to like deliver it, but we realize that,

485
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 2: like we've changed the entire area. You got to know

486
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 2: you're doing the right thing. You've now changed the room

487
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 2: with this thing that you may have missed the mark

488
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 2: on or whatever. It's like, I don't know. It just

489
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: made me think. And also it made me think, do

490
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 2: I need to get a taser? Like that's the other thing.

491
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 2: It made me think, do I need a taser? Now?

492
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I think it's a By the way,

493
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: my wife showed me this video and it was from

494
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: like a a middle school basketball game. I think, yeah,

495
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: And there's these two guys calling the game somewhere in

496
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: the South, and so they're they're on the radio or

497
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: the TV or the YouTube channel or whatever. They're calling

498
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: the game and oh yeah, yeah, yeah, have you seen this?

499
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 2: And he's so calm too, and.

500
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: They're like they know all the people because it's a

501
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 1: small town or whatever. Middle school, yeah, and so they

502
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: know them and they're they're calling and like the police

503
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: are there, the whole deal, and I think, I'm sorry, honey,

504
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: you told me the story, but it was something the

505
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: effect to the effect of that one of the moms

506
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 1: went out did something and got pushed by one of

507
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: the coaches or something, and so then the dad comes

508
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: out of the stands because now they're hurting the kid

509
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: that the mom came to help, and now they're pushing

510
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: the mom, and.

511
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 2: He The first part of the video is just kids

512
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 2: falling into frame and then everything starts happening, So you

513
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 2: don't really know what what set it all off. You

514
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 2: just know that like, now it's chaos, and the guy

515
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 2: goes this game is over.

516
00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: They kept saying, and then they were like, what's a

517
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: guy's name?

518
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 2: Ryan?

519
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: Ryan has got tased out of tazed Ryan, this game's over.

520
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 2: But he says it's so calm, like, yeah, foul on

521
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 2: the play.

522
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: I just tased, right, I just I think tasing well

523
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: the go by the way Ryan went down like a

524
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: sack of dirt.

525
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 2: And the guy just kind of walked up to him

526
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 2: and did it. It was like I wanted to see what

527
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 2: did he swing on him? What happened that. He's like, nope,

528
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 2: you're going down like done. We did he say something?

529
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: It's crazy because again, you lose all control of your

530
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: limbs and everything else.

531
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 2: I think if you had a tas that's the hard

532
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 2: thing about like gun culture and taser culture. If there

533
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 2: is a taser culture, it's like once you have the thing,

534
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 2: you're saying it's to protect you, but then a male

535
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 2: brain starts being like you want it. It's like the generator.

536
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 2: Now you're almost looking for excuse to use it. Yeah,

537
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 2: you know, you're like part of It's like I'm protecting

538
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 2: myself from this horrible thing. But also you start having

539
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 2: these weird like again, I'm not a gun guy, so

540
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 2: people are gonna shout chop, try to clap me down.

541
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 2: But I know a lot of gun guys that their

542
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 2: fantasy is being able to use this gun. No, I

543
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 2: mean the fantasy is like something will happen. I'll be

544
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 2: in burger king somebody. I'll come and try to rob

545
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 2: the place. I'll save the day. You go, he just

546
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 2: order your burger, dude, Like, yeah, and again, I'm glad

547
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 2: for those people if it does happen. Okay, I'm glad.

548
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 2: There's a lot of things that have been stopped by

549
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 2: a good guy with a gun. I get all that.

550
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 2: But it's like, I've known a lot of people that

551
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 2: should not have guns, and they almost have like a fantasy.

552
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 2: So I think that's what happenss Taser guy was like,

553
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 2: this is my time, this is my time.

554
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: No, you know, I think one of the things, because

555
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 1: you know, I have a handgun permit, yeah, and all

556
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: the all the things. I think one of the questions.

557
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 2: You took training and stuff. It wasn't just like after

558
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 2: the new law where everybody can have one in tennis.

559
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: That's correct. I already had it and I keep renewing it.

560
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 1: Mine's lifetime, though. Oh well, I think one of the questions,

561
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: even when your vision goes and your mind goes, you're

562
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: gonna be a like, look, anybody can any But I

563
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 1: think that one of the questions you should have to

564
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: answer is do you ever want to use this firearm?

565
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: Because anyone I know to your point, who is a

566
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: good guy with a gun hopes they know you ever

567
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: have to use it, right, They're not like, I can't

568
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: wait for this to go down.

569
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Again, I sound ignorant because

570
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 2: I mean I'm not a guy who ever like went

571
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 2: out to go get a gun, and I'm just not

572
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 2: excited by guns. But and I get that we need

573
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,479
Speaker 2: even hunting and stuff. I used to have like such

574
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 2: an issue with but now I realize, Okay, wow, if

575
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 2: we didn't have people at harvest these deer, they would

576
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 2: just be running around and getting you know, the traffic

577
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 2: would just be just be hitting deer every five minutes

578
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,159
Speaker 2: because it's just too many. I get it. So I

579
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 2: get to some ideas are a little backwards. But also

580
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 2: I do know a lot of people who are like

581
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 2: they can't wait for their moment yeah to do this

582
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 2: weird you know, revenge fantasy on the world, or they

583
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 2: hope the apocalypse happened so they can be the only prepared.

584
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 1: One I do think about because we have to prepare

585
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: for things in a church world. Yeah, and we have

586
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: security measures and all those things in place, But there

587
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,959
Speaker 1: is that thought if there was a gunman that I

588
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: think about all the other people who will suddenly become

589
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: gunmen to try to stop the gunman. Yeah, you know,

590
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: and how dangerous that that I'd rather have them Yeah

591
00:25:58,680 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: in that moment, but.

592
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 2: Net but they've never shot it before.

593
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: They well, and that's what they do teach you in

594
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: the classes. They're like, look, in a moment where you're

595
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: really having to use this, even trained officers and soldiers

596
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: and others with a handgun in particular, they hit their

597
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: mark like maybe ten percent in a moment where it's

598
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: like you're shaking, you you're you're basically in shock. And

599
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: so it's not like you just can't grab your faculties,

600
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: you know, and be able to say anyway, I.

601
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 2: Hate when people grab my faculties. John, I don't know

602
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 2: how this ended up doing a gun conversation from your quote,

603
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,719
Speaker 2: but it's a good quote. I like the idea of

604
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 2: like what we think of as being like the deadliest

605
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 2: sins or whatever, like, don't we don't really know. It's

606
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 2: the thing. It's like we have to admit there's a

607
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 2: mystery to God and some of the things that really

608
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 2: tick us off and that we focus on when we

609
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 2: really like look in the scriptures, you go, man, I

610
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 2: wonder why God didn't focus on this as much as

611
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 2: we are, like we we kind of sometimes we feel

612
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 2: like we lose our way sometimes in the weeds.

613
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: And I think that the part for me is that

614
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: the thoughts in the language matter to God. Think about

615
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: what the Bible says in James about the person who

616
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: can control their tongue is in control of their entire life,

617
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: basically their whole body.

618
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 2: And I would say now would be that would extend

619
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 2: to keyboard. You control your keyboard. Now we don't talk

620
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 2: as much. There's things we say on the keyboard we

621
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 2: would never say in person. But it does damage even

622
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 2: more so. Yeah, it's forever.

623
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: But your communication, what comes out of you, That's what

624
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: even Jesus said, it's what comes I know people make

625
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: a joke with this, but it's what comes out of

626
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: a person that defiles them. What he's saying is is look,

627
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: what you actually say is the thing that matters, right,

628
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: And that's why I'll tell Sadie all the time. Like,

629
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: and I was counseling someone the other day and they

630
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: were really strugglings, like, well, you don't know all the

631
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,959
Speaker 1: thoughts inside that I don't act on. And I was like,

632
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: that's great. Having temptations is not a sin. When you

633
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 1: don't act on them, then you one, that's what you're

634
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: supposed to do. Yes, should you struggle, should you try

635
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: not to think on those things, or whatever, But when

636
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: someone was doing something to you and you had horrible

637
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: thoughts and you chose something different, then what came out

638
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: of you was the right thing. Because of course we

639
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: all are tempted to do those things. But I always

640
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: tell you probably heard me say this before, but specifically

641
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: when it comes to like cuss words, which is a

642
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 1: big Christian thing. Right, I'm not pro cussword, okay.

643
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 2: But you're pro at it.

644
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: But the idea that we curse people by just using

645
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: colloquialisms or slaying right versus actually, as he says, bossing, patronizing,

646
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: putting people in the wrong, spoiling sport, backbiting, power, hatred.

647
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: You know, almost all those are worthless without words. They

648
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't work without words.

649
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 2: Those Gossip is not delicious without words. No, the reason

650
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 2: gossip is so prevalent is because it's yummy, its morsel it.

651
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 2: I don't know, there's a way to paint yourself and

652
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 2: good light by tearing somebody down in private, and it

653
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 2: just it's uh, it's a problem. It's a problem for

654
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 2: a lot of people, and they think they're in the

655
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 2: right because they go, well, we look, this isn't real.

656
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 2: It is real.

657
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,959
Speaker 1: Well, that's why I try to surround myself with friends

658
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: that because I really don't trust myself. And like, there's

659
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: some things I've been going through lately or talking about lately,

660
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: and you're on this list of people that I trust

00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: because I'm doing the best I can, but my best

667
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:37,520

703
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 2: A man tells his doctor, ever since you prescribe me

704
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 2: those sleeping pills, I've been able to relax. Finally, the

705
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 2: doctor responds, glad to hear you're only taking one per night, right,

706
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 2: And he goes, oh, I'm not taking them. I'm been

Speaker 2: a joke. Please don't give your wife don't poison. Come on,

709
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 2: and finally John a final exam to become the detective Detective.

710
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 2: The Chief Commissioner gathers the three remaining candidates and presents

711
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 2: them with a final test. They must look at a

712
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 2: suspect smugshot for just a few seconds, and then explain

713
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 2: how they would recognize that suspect in the crowd. The

714
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 2: first candidate comes in, the commissioner shows him the photo

715
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 2: and after a moment, he says it's easy. The suspect

716
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 2: has only one ear and one eye, so he's easy

717
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 2: to spot. The commissioner says, are you stupid, that's a

718
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 2: side photo. Get out of here. The second guy comes in,

719
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 2: sees the photo and after a few thinonds it's easy.

720
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 2: The suspect has one ear one eye, so he's easy

721
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 2: to distinguish in a crowd. The commissioner says, you're an idiot, too,

722
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 2: get out of here. The third enters. The commissioner wants

723
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 2: to be careful because the others were really unqualified. He

724
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,719
Speaker 2: shows the photo to the third candidate, who thinks from

725
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 2: moent and says, the suspect wears contact lenses. The commissioner

726
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 2: is amazed because he doesn't even remember if the suspect

727
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 2: actually wore contact lenses, so he goes to check the records.

728
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 2: He confirms it's true. Then he returns to the candidate

729
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 2: and says, congratulations, you're a detective. I just have to ask,

730
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 2: how did you know that he wore contact lenses. The

731
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 2: candidate replies, well, with only one ear and one eye,

732
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 2: it's hard to wear glasses.

733
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: That's great.

734
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 2: I love a good stupid guy. Joe something about it.

735
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: That's what I never heard identify with the stupid guide Joe,

736
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: I went to Yale.

737
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 2: That's so funny. John, let's do this week in history.

738
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 2: We call it talk about then John. This Week nineteen

739
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 2: thirty and an invention that you may use every day.

740
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 2: Scotch tape. Okay, it's a big one. Three M markets

741
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 2: Scotch tape. It was created by a three M engineer,

742
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 2: Richard Drew, who had created masking tape in nineteen twenty five.

743
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 2: This guy was, Wow, this is a real yeah the

744
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 2: tape Jedi. Yeah, well, unbelievable. Uh, there's a guy who

745
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 2: does this. Our friend Paul Aldrich does a song about

746
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 2: duct tape. It's all about how duct tape has all

747
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 2: these uses and he says there's a dark side and

748
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 2: a light side, so it's like the force that holds

749
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 2: everything together. So what you said, he really is a

750
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 2: Jedi if he invented anyway, because duck tape has a

751
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 2: dark side and the alizes set. Anyway, he created a

752
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 2: masking tape nineteen twenty five. Then he made a transparent

753
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 2: version of it in nineteen thirty. The tape dispenser was

754
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 2: developed by THREEM engineer John Borden in nineteen thirty two.

755
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 2: So there was two years where you had to just

756
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 2: pick up the roll like a fourth visit. Yeah, that

757
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 2: was Those were the dark ages of tape.

758
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: They really were. I mean, do you have when you

759
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: can't find the edge of a tape? It is there's

760
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: nothing more frustrating. Yeah, and I don't have nail. I

761
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,919
Speaker 1: bite my nails, so I got nothing. I gotta have help. Yeah,

762
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: I got I got a.

763
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 2: Phone a friend.

764
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: Do you try to see it or feel for it both?

765
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 2: I'm trying to dig around, but again, no nails. Yeah,

766
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 2: it's it's a disaster.

767
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: I tell you, we talk about the real issues here.

768
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,240
Speaker 1: I'll talk about that. This is guys, if you're out there.

769
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,240
Speaker 2: I wonder why it was called Scotch tape. It doesn't

770
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 2: say I wonder why I was gonna ask you. It

771
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 2: has a little like plaid logo there and so or

772
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 2: the Paisley whatever it is.

773
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: The little Scotch to buy their tip by the hundreds

774
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 1: and thousands. Look at me, Scotch tip.

775
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 2: My photo fell down. I don't know. It's a really

776
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 2: bad that's stupid. I apologize to anybody. Mitch Heedburgh great

777
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 2: communities to have a bit about how he wanted to

778
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 2: get a map of the world, and then put pins

779
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 2: everywhere he would visit. But he goes. But first I

780
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 2: got to visit the four corners of the earth so

781
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 2: that the map doesn't fall down. That's good, Mitch Hedberg.

782
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 2: He shall be missed, John. This week is a groundhog

783
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 2: Day coming up, and there's a little history of groundhog Day.

784
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 2: If the groundhog's uses shadow on February second, expect six

785
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 2: more weeks of winter. We know that the tradition derives

786
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,720
Speaker 2: from the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog emerging

787
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 2: from its burrow on this day sees its shadow due

788
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 2: to clear weather, it will retreat to its dend, and

789
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 2: winter will go on for six more weeks. If it

790
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 2: does not see its shadow because of cloudiness, spring will

791
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 2: arrive early. They brought the tradition from Germany, substituting a

792
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 2: groundhog for the German tradition of a badger. Did not

793
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 2: know that in Germany it was badger Day. And the

794
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 2: tradition itself may be derived from the lore that clear

795
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 2: weather on the Christian Festival of Candleness, which I did

796
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 2: not know was a thing, forebodes a prolonged winner. Punk Satanni,

797
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 2: Pennsylvania began its annual celebration in eighteen eighty seven. I

798
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 2: did not know that had gone on that long. That's

799
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 2: a long time for punk Satawani Phil, which it now featured.

800
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 2: I don't know when Punkstoni Phil got intern into, but

801
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 2: Punkatoni Pensylvania has been celebrating annually eighteen eighty seven. Wow,

802
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 2: and on John this week finally twenty sixteen. Did not

803
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 2: know this story. This is a wild one. This is

804
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 2: one of those like the punishment kind of fits the

805
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 2: crime stories. A terrorist was sucked out of a plane

806
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 2: that he was trying to hijack. A suicide bomber set

807
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 2: off a bomb in Dahlia Airlines Flight one fifty nine,

808
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 2: twenty minutes after it took off from Magadushu, Somalia, en

809
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 2: route to Djibouti City. The bomb created a hole in

810
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 2: the side of the plane, which sucked out the bomber.

811
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 2: Several others were injured, but the bomber was the only

812
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,720
Speaker 2: one killed. So he's trying to blow off the plane.

813
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 2: What he sucked out when the explosion of the bomb.

814
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 2: He was a suicide bomber. Yeah, he was a suicide bomber.

815
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 2: I was trying to kill everybody on the ball.

816
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: Wasn't the bomb attached to him when the bomb have

817
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: killed him before he was sucked out of the plane.

818
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 2: I'm trying to look hold on. I think he was.

819
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 2: The bomb was placed somewhere in the head.

820
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: He didn't have it, honest.

821
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, And he wasn't killed by the bomb. Evidently he

822
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 2: was killed by the hole and he was sucked out

823
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 2: of the hole, is what this led me to believe.

824
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 2: It's believe that the bomb was time to go off

825
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 2: when the plane was in mid flight at a higher altitude,

826
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 2: but the plane had been delayed, causing the bomb to

827
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 2: go off before the plane could reach a cruising altitude.

828
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 2: If it had gone off a cruising altitude when the

829
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 2: plane was fully pressurized, it would have killed all on

830
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 2: board likely. So so next time your flight's delayed, be like, hey,

831
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,479
Speaker 2: maybe we don't know what we're being right, come on, Yeah,

832
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:27,240
Speaker 2: sometimes you need to take a minute look at the

833
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 2: shiny tree limbs around you and be like, hey, this

834
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 2: is by being stuck in this house with all these

835
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 2: crazy kids.

836
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Just trying to find the

837
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 1: books some flights the other day. Yeah, I'm confused now

838
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: by flights by Southwest has changed everything.

839
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 2: Oh sure, Yeah, I'm trying to figure out if how

840
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 2: to pay for the bag or not. No, you do

841
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 2: unless you have the Southwest card. How did you get

842
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 2: one free? You have the card, you get one free.

843
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 2: I had to book some Delta get too free because.

844
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 1: Status or whatever status. I want to go sit in

845
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: one of the airport lounges.

846
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 2: Oh have you never No? No, I've had Southwest is

847
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 2: building lounges.

848
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 1: I had a meeting in an airport lounge for a

849
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: book one pretty good feeling. I did not get back.

850
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 2: How did you get in though? If you're not a

851
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:10,760
Speaker 2: did they have a voucher?

852
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: So this is one of my This is a Robert

854
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: it's just amazing.

855
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 2: Guy.

856
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: We were meeting a guy in Nashville Airport. He took

857
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: me to the counter and yeah, he got me a

858
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: pass to just go through security, right, but not to

859
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: get on a plane. And then we went in and

860
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: had the meeting inside.

861
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,240
Speaker 2: But to get into the lounge. They have another voucher

862
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 2: that you have to use because I get like five years.

863
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,959
Speaker 2: I think he might have unlimited if.

864
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: I remember correctly. When we walked in the door, they

865
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 1: were like.

866
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 2: Welcome back. Well, sometimes do you scan your ticket and

867
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 2: they know your name from the ticket that you think

868
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 2: even before the tickets.

869
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: I would go places with him and he was the

870
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: kind of guy that they knew who he was.

871
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 2: I don't know if I want to be that guy.

872
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 2: There's appealing about it, but then there's like yeah, because

873
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,439
Speaker 2: then like if you whatever.

874
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 1: If you get in the lounge, I'm fine with it.

875
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 2: Like Dave Ramsey us to talk about that about how

876
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 2: he tips third at every meal even if the service

877
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 2: is bad, because he doesn't want everybody to have a

878
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 2: Dave Ramsey story even if the service is awful. He

879
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 2: would like to send them a message of being like, well,

880
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 2: this is not tippable. But he said, I can't have

881
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 2: somebody to be like Dave Ramsey's a terrible tipper. So

882
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 2: everybody's going to get at least thirty percent from Dave Ramblin.

883
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 2: And it's true. You get to a level of fame

884
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 2: where it's like you're going to have a Meryl Streep

885
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 2: story if you see her yelling at her kid in

886
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 2: car line at school. Now everybody thinks MARYL. Streep is

887
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 2: a monster. So you just you have to be on

888
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 2: your best behavior at all times.

889
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: That's why again, I keep myself under the radar. Yeah,

890
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: I can act like I must. I can yell at

891
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: your kid. Nobody has to know.

892
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 2: You can see John at your local car line screaming

893
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 2: that a seventeen year old.

894
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: I do have those those fearful fantasies of getting right

895
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: up on someone being upset in traffic, and then we

896
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: all pulled on the same church. Oh yeah, Sunday morning.

897
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 1: I think that happened to me one time.

898
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:50,399
Speaker 2: Oh boy.

899
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: I don't think I was like major, but I was frustrated. Yeah,

900
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 1: and then we all pull in. I'm about to go

901
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 1: preach the messageway.

902
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 2: And want that preach. Sometimes you're mad at the person

903
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 2: and they're going to the same place you Heaven. We

904
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 2: hope we're all going to heaven. Yeah, you're a pretty weird.

905
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,919
Speaker 2: Maybe you ought to just calm down. Huh Yeah, Yeah,

906
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 2: maybe that's a lesson you need to take to heart

907
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 2: for yourself. I think that's one of them.

908
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: I felt like that was for everybody else.

909
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 2: Okay, that's fine too.

910
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 1: It's I don't really take things to heart for me

911
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,399
Speaker 1: because I don't really need them. You know what I'm saying.

912
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 2: I think somebody's about to get sucked out of their

913
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 2: own plane, if you know what I mean. John's got

914
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 2: a bomb meant for other people, and sometimes.

915
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: It's a weird metaphor.

916
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 2: He's headed to jibouty C.

917
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: It's a stretch.

918
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 2: It's a stretch. Really Okay, Well, I thought that was

919
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 2: a great show. I don't know.

920
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: Hey, thanks for the new mic if you're watching it

Speaker 1: I don't know.

00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 2: It just takes a lot of money. You got money, No,

00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 2: you spend it on.

945
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 1: Generator, generator.

946
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 2: But yeah, I did keep Facebook, Marketplace sell the generator,

947
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 2: can't kin.

948
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: Actually, my neighbor got this known and I'm about to

949
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: have it done. Did you know you can easily have

950
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: someone come wire your house with a little extra panel

951
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: where you just plug your generator right into the side

952
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: and then you just you just pick which.

953
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 2: Uh pick which ones you want to run?

954
00:41:58,520 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: You know, which had the circuit break.

955
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 2: Which family members you want to leave in the cold.

956
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: That's right.

957
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 2: You're like, hey, maybe you should have been nicer than.

958
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: Maybe I just move your circuit breaker.

959
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a lot of control. Yeah, John's making a

960
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:10,720
Speaker 2: little death star at the house.

961
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,600

00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 2: That doesn't sound easy, you go, it's so it's an

963
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,720
Speaker 2: easy panel at an extra pan, it's probably thousands of dollars.

964
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 1: No, I heard it wasn't really well my well, my

00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then he had to.

987
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 2: Be outside smoke and talking about it. Man, you think

988
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 2: it's a myth. These computers are.

989
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 1: Crazy you know what we were doing on the Why

990
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: two K? No, we were playing a show in oak Ridge, Tennessee.

991
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 2: At the mall.

992
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 1: Yep, it was like a late night at the mall.

993
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: Didn't they have generators and stuff in case it went out? Yeah,

994
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: that's a full circle moment right there for the show.

995
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 2: And then nothing happened and here we are.

996
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, were you disappointed?

997
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 2: I think I think it's the same thing as the

998
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 2: gun thing. It's like, you do you sort of go, well,

999
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 2: we did all this. You feel a little foolish if

1000
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,439
Speaker 2: you never get to use your generator that you had

1001
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 2: or the you had all these and I'll be the

1002
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 2: prepared one. I'm the one who But.

1003
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:58,399
Speaker 1: You don't want to be the generation that cried why

1004
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: two K? And then when it really happens. Yeah, you

1005
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:05,439
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Yeah, you gotta the people who.

1006
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,240
Speaker 2: Cried why two K? There were books, there were experts,

1007
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 2: there were white twok experts. It's like a whole cottage

1008
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,760
Speaker 2: industry of people who were making money on the fear

1009
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 2: of this thing, and then when it didn't happen, it's like,

1010
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 2: guess I'll get a job at Low's. I don't know

1011
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 2: what you do after that, you.

1012
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,439
Speaker 1: Just like those people took your money from the books and.

1013
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 2: Yeah there were crop circle people that were like crop circles,

1014
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,479
Speaker 2: and then you find it, Oh, it's hoaxed, like five

1015
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 2: guys and this is how they pull off the hopes

1016
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 2: of crop circles. It's not aliens. And then you're like, oh,

1017
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 2: I wrote a whole book about why it has to

1018
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 2: be aliens.

1019
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: I do have to say this.

1020
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 2: You think crop circles are real?

1021
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: Some of them, I don't know what they are.

1022
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 2: But no, I'm saying like they were all faked.

1023
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: There's like a god crop circles are fake.

1024
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:46,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, this is New Star very fake. But I

1025
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 2: mean again, there's gonna be websites that say that that's

1026
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 2: been to be debunked too, And then they're.

1027
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: Gonna roll your eyes at this. Okay, sure, but do

1028
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: you ever watch The Curse of Oak Island? Really he

1029
00:44:56,520 --> 00:45:01,320
Speaker 1: rolled his eyes. So they first you think this is aliens.

1030
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:06,399
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no no. They have like real archaeologists now

1031
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: on the show. In the beginning, they don't think they

1032
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: had the real ones. But it's gotten so much. Just

1033
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 1: like twelve seasons end, they have found a lot, They

1034
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:17,280
Speaker 1: found lots they've not found a lot of treasure per se, right.

1035
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 2: But because buried treasure is kind of one of those

1036
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 2: things too. That's a myth too about like pirates Burier.

1037
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: Well, they're making a map to it, so so a

1038
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 1: lot of them spent their treasure to deal with this

1039
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 1: pirates And this is where you're going to. It's not

1040
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: really pirate treasure. Oh okay, this is where I was

1041
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:32,879
Speaker 1: rolling my eyes for a long time.

1042
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, while you watched Six Seasons.

1043
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: This is they think it is the Night's Templar. Oh

1044
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: brought things from Europe during the Crusades, basically to store

1045
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: priceless religious treasures. Basically this is coff which that's what

1046
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: I would think. But they have found I'm going to say,

1047
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 1: hundreds thousands of archaeologically verified things from anywhere from the

1048
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,240
Speaker 1: twelve hundreds all the way to like the seventeen hundreds

1049
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: before the discovery of whatever the first little pit was

1050
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 1: they were doing. I'm talking there's a swamp, yeah, and

1051
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: when they dig in it and drain it, they have

1052
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: found huge road systems built.

1053
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 2: Oh so you think there's like a ox shoe society.

1054
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: And they found all these chains. Something heavy was pulled

1055
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 1: through on this small, little tiny island. They found Roman coins,

1056
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of Roman coins, a bunch of British coins,

1057
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: and seventeen hundreds a bunch of like like that's the deal.

1058
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: And then underground, this is the crazy part. Two hundred

1059
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: feet underground. This was in one of the early seasons.

1060
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: They found human bone and they used the science to

1061
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 1: trace it to like thirteenth fourteenth century. One of the

1062
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,320
Speaker 1: bones was from Europe and one was from Africa. It

1063
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: was the Middle East and of their genetic descent. So like,

1064
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 1: you don't get somebody's bone two hundred feet underground, you

1065
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Johnny.

1066
00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 2: So I believe, like there's stuff we don't know.

1067
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 1: I do believe there was a nice templar and this

1068
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: they'll bring real scholars on and this is what they've not.

1069
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: This is what really turns me a little bit is

1070
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, whatever, And then they'll sit with some

1071
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: historian who has spent their whole PhD career studying the

1072
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 1: Knights Templar or whatever, and they're going, no, this is

1073
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 1: here's there and they and they travel to Europe too,

1074
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 1: and they'll go to like here's the prison where they

1075
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: locked up the Knights Templar, and here's the sibnals they

1076
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 1: put on the wall. It's all there. Yeah, but it's

1077
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: all so mysterious sounding. It's been like and it's intentional.

1078
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: It's a secret society but right, but it's it's like

1079
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: you don't know what to shrug off and want to go, Well,

1080
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,080
