1 00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 1: This vocalist sounds like speaking of Chance mcclan about a 2 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: year ago. He does the most random, creative things and 3 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 1: we never actually used it. He came up with a 4 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 1: theme song for our Black Line, which is how we 5 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 1: celebrate and honor black folks with a separate phone line. 6 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: And he came up with a theme song for the 7 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: Black Line, and this is. 8 00:00:31,240 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 2: It has a certain. 9 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: Really kind of builds. You know, I can see it. 10 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: We pulled the stats the other day and ninety six 11 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: point eight percent of callers on the Black Line are 12 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: ment that is probably the one demographic where we fare 13 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: the worst, which is black women. So if a black 14 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: woman calls up right now, you will be put right 15 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: through seven one three nine nine nine one thousand, seven 16 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: one three, one thousand.

But here I 39 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 3: am again. So you had You had really impressed me 40 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 3: the other day when I was sitting out on my 41 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 3: porchair just watching nature go by and bring them and 42 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 3: the rolling hills here, they're great, and you said something. 43 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 3: I was just passively listening, and you said something about 44 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 3: teach me the Bible. I said what, and because they 45 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 3: rang a bell with me and I said, that's my church. 46 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 3: And then then you start talking to this young man 47 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 3: and his name's David Klinger. He's a great guy. He's 48 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 3: a teacher. We have two two pastors that are what 49 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 3: I call main pastors at our church. It's called Champions 50 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 3: and Brunham. And one of them is Tim, who's the 51 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 3: original guy. They're seventeen years and more. He's a he's 52 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 3: a a guy you want to hug. And David is 53 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 3: a teacher who really teaches you what the Bible says 54 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 3: and there's no ritual about it. It eases you that 55 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 3: so it gives you two different perspectives and it's just fantastic. 56 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 3: And I said, I can't believe this, and you're uncanny 57 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 3: ability to see something in value somewhere. And I found 58 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 3: out later that an interview that was intended to be 59 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 3: maybe ten minutes was the whole show. And I stayed 60 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 3: with it the whole show. It was fantastic. 61 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: And did you call one time? Do you own like 62 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: an antique shop in Chapel Hill or something that is 63 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: my mind going crazy on me. 64 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 3: Or doing I did and I also owned the bar 65 00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 3: pool Hall. That's it. That's crazy. 66 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: You are my ideal you are my ideal listener or 67 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: you retired, Yeah, a long time. Well, you're our ideal listener, 68 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 1: because you know, a lot of folks are in a 69 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: hurry and they don't know what, but they're in a hurry, 70 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: and there's nothing wrong with that. 71 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 2: They got kids, in a job, and they got aways. 72 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: But I like to do I call our show a magazine, 73 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: not a newspaper. I like to do long form interviews, 74 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: take our times, laugh a little, cry a little, and 75 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: and you you're listening long enough that the show kind 76 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: of makes more sense. Sonia writes excellent book on breathing 77 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: and sinus rents. I've been reading a book that I 78 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: think would be of great interest to you. 79 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 3: Zar. 80 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: I've struggled with breathing, asthma and sinus issues my whole life, 81 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: and I found this book to be life changing. It's 82 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 1: called Breathe by James Nestra. With all of my sinus 83 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: issue issues, I had become a mind health breather. This 84 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: book goes over decades of data about how bad that 85 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: is for your overall health, all aspects of your health, diabetes, cardiac, dementia, 86 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: and so many other issues and ways to improve it. 87 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: I've been using sinus rents for about thirty years since 88 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: my first sinus surgery. My doctor at that time gave 89 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 1: me the recipe to bate my own saline mixture, so 90 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: you don't have to buy those little packets. Three parts 91 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: iodine free salt, sorry, three parts iodine free salt, I 92 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: buy pickling salt, she says, and one part baking soda. 93 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: I use one half teaspoon of this mixture in my 94 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: Netty med Rints bottle. Best wishes. Sonya there it is, 95 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: I mean, Ramon jim nuts. There's your answer, Rooster, I'm here, okay. 96 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: So this church you go to does Klingler? So you 97 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 1: have two pastors? Do you have a pastor and a 98 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: preacher in that one? Is more? You know, the pastors 99 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: the flock and the and Cleanler preaches or how does 100 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: that work? Are they co pastors? What do you how 101 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: that work? 102 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 3: Well, it's hard to explain. Uh. I'm old school, and 103 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 3: I like both of them because they have a different 104 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 3: purpose each one. David teaches you. Both of them believe 105 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 3: that the Bible written by men, common men, fishermen, cac collectors, 106 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 3: and so forth, just very down to earth people. And 107 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 3: you wonder how in the world did they write the Bible? Well, 108 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 3: it was all inspired by God. And when you once 109 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 3: you understand that, then you believe in it. And all 110 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 3: this ritual that we tend to get all mixed up 111 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 3: in that's history then, I mean, and it's just not good. 112 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 3: But so we got two. I call him the main 113 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 3: pastor David, and he teaches and he's you know, he 114 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 3: has a different perspective because he comes from a style 115 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 3: that we appreciate, and you. 116 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: Know, it's interesting. Hold on, I want to tell you 117 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: that you brought something up that I was going to 118 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: mention as to you called it uncanny whatever, the ability 119 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: was to find things like this and find them relevant. 120 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: And yes, the interview was only supposed to be about 121 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: ten minutes. I don't even use the term interview. I 122 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,839 Speaker 1: accidentally do, but I consider it more of a discussion 123 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: because I think most interviews are kind of boring, to 124 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: be completely lost. I'd rather have a discussion the way 125 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: we would have if we were in a living room 126 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: or at Bible study. And it was brought to my 127 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: attention that David Kleingler was now a Bible teacher, and 128 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: I was very interested in that because when I was 129 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: at the University of Houston, David Kleingler was the star quarterback. 130 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: And let me tell you something. It was in It 131 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: was Andre Ware, and then it was David Cleanland, it 132 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: was his brother Jimmy, and David Klingler could throw a football. 133 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 1: And I never missed a game. I went to every game, 134 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: every home game anyway. And I even got to travel 135 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,599 Speaker 1: with the team because I was student body president and 136 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: they would take me everywhere and I'd fly on the 137 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: on the plane with the team. And I had such 138 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,719 Speaker 1: admiration for the quality of guy he was and the 139 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 1: way he conducted himself, but I can't say that we 140 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: were friends. And then I found and I didn't know 141 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: whatever happened to him. I know what Andre's up to, 142 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: I know what a lot of those guys are up to, 143 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: but I didn't know what had happened to him. And 144 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: I was really interested in his faith journey and how 145 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: he ended up teaching the Bible. You know, you go 146 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: from hanging up your cleats as a professional athlete with 147 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: the Bengals and and I think he I mean, yeah, 148 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: the Bengals, and I think the Green Bay Packers and 149 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: maybe somewhere else doesn't matter, but you know, you hang 150 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 1: up your cleats and that's a real that's a real 151 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: tough fork in the road for professional athletes as to 152 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: what do I do now? And most of them sadly 153 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: don't find their way and they end up hanging out 154 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: with a lot of their old buddies from high school 155 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: because that's who's available, and they end up in drugs, 156 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: in prison and all that sort of mess, and they 157 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: burned through the money. Well, here was a guy that 158 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: I saw, Okay, this is going to be interesting, and 159 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: I was really more interested in his personal story, and 160 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: I thought we would he could teach the Bible while 161 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: we were at it. But for all I knew he'd 162 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: be boring. And he originally didn't want to do the 163 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: interview because he did not want an interview. He didn't 164 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: want to where are they now? Segment on you know, 165 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: former athlete and just talk uh football stories because let me, 166 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: for people who don't know eighty nine ninety ninety one, 167 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: those years ninety two at the University of Houston, that 168 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: football team was phenomenal. I mean it was. There were 169 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: years that that team beat the University of Texas and 170 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,839 Speaker 1: beat A and M and was better than those teams. 171 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: I mean it was.

There will be tariff talk. 222 00:13:53,960 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: As the primary source of steel in the United States 223 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: is Canadian steel. American steelmakers delighted with the thought of 224 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: a double tariff on Canada, which has been suspended because 225 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: Ford had announced that he was going to put a 226 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: search arge on electricity sent into northern states like Minnesota 227 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: and Wisconsin. And so Trump came back in the negotiation 228 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: and said, all right, well, I'll just double the steel terraffs. 229 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: And as Trump has noted multiple times, he could shut 230 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: down the Canadian steel and auto industries with the tariffs 231 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: he has threatened, and they know this. He also reiterated 232 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: his call for them to be the fifty first state, 233 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: which while it violates my need for things to be orderly, 234 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: because fifty is perfect. It is a fun way to 235 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: humiliate Canada and remind them, Look, you're not our equal. 236 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: We're not negotiating as we are as if we are. 237 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: It isn't Joe Biden anymore. You're not getting over on us, 238 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: all right, was it? Richard on the line? 239 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 3: Yes, all right? 240 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: Why don't you so you were forty years old when 241 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: you became a Christian? Tell me that. Take about two 242 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: minutes and tell. 243 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 3: Me that story. 244 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 5: Yeah. 245 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 4: My wife at that time, I guess twenty about no, 246 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 4: about ten years she had become a Well she's still 247 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 4: My wife became a Christian two years before me. Instead 248 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 4: of nagging me because I needed nagging, but she realized 249 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 4: that becoming Christian started praying for me. So those two 250 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 4: years of prayers, God, you know, here to prayers, and 251 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 4: I became a believer at forty. And that's kind of 252 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 4: it that I you know, I was interested in the 253 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 4: Bible and reading the Bible, started really reading it and 254 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 4: then decided after keeping my Sunday school teacher at Cyprus 255 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 4: Bible Church after two hours, asked you questions. He said, 256 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 4: why don't you go to Bible College. I said, no, 257 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 4: I'm a salesman. I'm a I'm a business guy. He goes, no, 258 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 4: you're a Bible guy. So I took his advice, enrolled 259 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 4: in Bible College, did that full time for three years, 260 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 4: got a degree, then went to Dallas Theological Seminary of 261 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 4: the Houston branch, and my favorite professor was no, was 262 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 4: David Klingler. And I took sixteen classes from him, and 263 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 4: took about eight of them again twice, So I took 264 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 4: his classes more than once. And yeah, oh gosh, it 265 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 4: was probably the first one I took from him was 266 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 4: the Gospels. So in the Gospels class, there was an 267 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 4: older lady in the class and she she probably been 268 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 4: a Christian longer than him and I have been alive. 269 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 4: And she said, uh, you know where you're Klingler is? 270 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 4: He said. She kept asking, Hey, how I how do 271 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 4: I apply this? How do I apply this verse? That versus? 272 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 4: Or is that first? And he said because, he said, 273 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 4: He sat down on us chairing typical Clingler fact fashion, 274 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 4: and said, how's this for a for an application? Just 275 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 4: be in awe of Jesus? Isn't that just being all 276 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 4: of his of his grace and mercy and his so 277 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 4: that kind of is clean. You see what I'm saying 278 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 4: it was. It was that kind of appeel to me, 279 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 4: just being all it's not it's all about us. The 280 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 4: Bible is more about God. We're in there, but the 281 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 4: Bible is about God, not us. We want to make 282 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 4: it about us because we're we're sin we have a 283 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 4: sinful nation, we're selfish by nature.
