1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning, and today we

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: call a woman who's been attending church every Sunday and

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: her sister sometimes joins her, and has noticed something very

4
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: interesting going on. In fact, she'd like us to pose

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: as the church and embellish a little on the situation,

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 1: which is right up our alley. We could totally do

7
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: that and make her feel just a little bit uncomfortable

8
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: about it. In your phone tap right now. Hello, good morning,

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm calling from the web north Side Church. I'm looking

10
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: to speak with Danicaway. Yes, she Hi Danica. My name

11
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: is Reefer. I'm the associate pastor here. How are you

12
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: doing on this blessed day? Oh Wally for how are you?

13
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: I'm well to thank you so much for asking. I'm

14
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: surprised that we've never met face to face.

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: I know, I'm actually when you mentioned your name, I

16
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: wasn't familiar with you. I thought I knew all the O.

17
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: That's okay. I'm sure we'll cross paths eventually, but I

18
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: need to say, well, we do appreciate your participation and

19
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: your support. We are going to have to ask you

20
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: politely to not come back.

21
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.

22
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: Yes, it's a final decision. We do wish you well

23
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: blessings and salutations.

24
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: I'm sorry you do. You're asking me not to come

25
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: back to church. I mean, I've been a very avid

26
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 2: member for three four years, and h I just I

27
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: guess I'm a little caught off guard.

28
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can sense that.

29
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: May I ask why?

30
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: Is there?

31
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 2: Is there a big reason? I guess I'm just a

32
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 2: little confused.

33
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you probably know why.

34
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,639
Speaker 2: I actually I don't. That's why I'm asking.

35
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: Okay, the church does appreciate full transparency, so in that spirit,

36
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: I will oblige your request. Okay, So how do I

37
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: say this during the service when the plate is being passed? Uh? Huh?

38
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: Apparently giving too much?

39
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: I'm giving too much? What like? I don't you mean money?

40
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: I do mean money. It's far too much money.

41
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: So I'm being asked to not come back to church

42
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 2: because twenty or forty dollars that I give at services

43
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: too much?

44
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: Exactly, It's making other people in your aisle feel bad

45
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: about themselves.

46
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: I'm very confused.

47
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sorry, are you laughing at other people suffering? Well?

48
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: No, I'm just genuinely caught off guard by this situation.

49
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: So I get nervous, and I giggle because I just

50
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 2: I thought that I was doing something good. I love

51
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: this church and I want to share my generosity with

52
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: this church.

53
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: And you thought it was good about not being discreet

54
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: to show off how rich you are.

55
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: What are you talking about.

56
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: To make a big deal about taking out cash and

57
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: wave it around in front of the entire congregation.

58
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 2: I never do any of that. What do you mean?

59
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry to raise my voice.

60
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 3: I've just never heard of anybody getting out a church

61
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 3: for donating too much or giving too much.

62
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,959
Speaker 1: Well, when they act like you do and they flaunted

63
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: in front of everyone, that's more of the issue.

64
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: But I'm not flaunting anything. I don't do that. I

65
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 3: pulled the folding money out of my pocket and I

66
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 3: throw it in there. I don't make a spectacle of it.

67
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: Even the way you just described it right there sounded

68
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: like flaunting.

69
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 3: How How else did I do it? Please explain to

70
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 3: me how to do it. W I won't offend people.

71
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: We are past that point by now.

72
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 3: Please, I had no idea that I was offending anybody.

73
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: The begging is doing no one any favors here. Listen,

74
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: if you really are sincere, I am The only way

75
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: that you can return to our church is if you've

76
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: completed a mandatory program. It's called learning to give like

77
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: a poor person.

78
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 3: You can't be serious, and really is there's a class

79
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 3: like this.

80
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: You guys have called other people out for something like this.

81
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: This is this is crazy.

82
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: This is not crazy. This is very serious in fact,

83
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: and failure to complete the course may result in spiritual probation.

84
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: Are you telling me the deducted spiritual points in the afterlife?

85
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 3: You cannot be serious, you can't be no, no, no, yes.

86
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: And your enrollment in this program was requested actually by

87
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: your sister Judy.

88
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 2: Judy did what Judy what?

89
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: Yes? She thought that you needed a gentle nudge in

90
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: the ways of normal generosity. In fact, she's been plotting

91
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:27,679
Speaker 1: this since last Easter.

92
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 3: My Sisterdy, she's the one to complain about me, like,

93
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 3: what are you talking about?

94
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: Yes, well, she actually wanted to do a prank phone

95
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: call on you. So that's more of what we're doing

96
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: right now. Because I'm not really from the church, I'm

97
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: from a radio show called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.

98
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: Oh my good.

99
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 3: Set me into a jail spin.

100
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. It was Judy's idea. She said that you

101
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: two attend church together, and she thought we could mess

102
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: with you.

103
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 3: So mean, I'm gonna kill her.

104
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: Like, seriously, what did you think. Don't you feel like

105
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: you're giving maybe a little bit too much? No, that's

106
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,119
Speaker 1: what Judy says.

107
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: No, I mean honestly, like sometimes I'll just like have

108
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 3: extra cash and then it's always usually twenty. But when

109
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 3: I'm feeling a little like you know, when i feel

110
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 3: like I've had a good week or I have to

111
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 3: thank the Lord for something, I'll throw an extra twenty

112
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 3: in there.

113
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: There you go, bragging again about how much disposable income

114
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: you have to just toss it around in front of

115
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: the poor. Is why don't you not.

116
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 2: That from Pastor Reefer?

117
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 3: That's terrible?

118
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: Week up every morning was Foo Tap weekday mornings on

119
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: the twenties, Frouking Jeffrey in the morning,
