This is Just the 0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:13.480 Bits Part two. In case you haven't heard Part one 0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:15.720 with Amy, make sure you go check that out. It's 0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:18.320 a fun interview. All the part ones are my favorite 0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:20.040 part of doing the Best Bits because I get to 0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:23.239 talk to a show member behind the scenes and talk 0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:25.759 about life. Sometimes we talk about these bits, but most 0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:27.240 of the time we just get caught up on what's 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:29.120 going on in their lives and I like to ask 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:33.000 random questions. So definitely check out Part one Best Bits. 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:35.320 But this is just a bit, so let's get going. 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:39.519 Coming in at number seven, Bobby, Ray, Mundo and myself 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:43.040 all talked about being catfish. Now these were stories from 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:45.639 years ago, but we all admitted it did happen when 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:47.960 we did get catfish. So if you want a good 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:50.640 laugh or maybe you can relate to some of these stories, well, 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:53.559 here you go. Number seven. In a new poll, a 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:56.440 third of people say they know someone who has been catfished. 0:00:56.760 --> 0:01:00.040 Catfishing is where you get online and you talk to 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:01.600 a girl and she said she's a guest Jean's model 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:05.319 and you fall for it. Oh that's me specifically. Sorry, Yeah, 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.399 that's me specifically, and it ends up being a dude. 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:10.680 So thirty three percent of people know someboe who's been catfished, 0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:15.119 you guys, Yes, the only person. Really, I'm the only 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:17.720 person you guys know that's been catfished. Unless I just 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:20.200 had no people that they don't admit it, that maybe it. 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.240 I think that's probably more likely. You know me, I'll 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:25.080 share it. I got no problem with telling you, guys. 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.560 I got no problem being humiliated and front of millions 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:29.800 of people. Ray you have been catfished. You seem like 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.520 a prime yeh, I'm person to be catfish. It's funny. 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:34.160 I just talked to my wife about this and I said, 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.120 there was a girl in college that just messaged me 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:38.120 on Facebook. I talked to her for probably two years, 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:40.800 never met her, talked to her on the phone all 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.840 the time, saw pictures over Eventually, I believe she just 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.040 deleted her Facebook. But I mean I never really knew 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:47.640 who she was. You talked to her on the phone 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:49.640 for years, because I talked to the guest James the 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.120 model a little bit too, and I haven't put her 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.840 on the show, but she didn't tell him. She doesn't 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.360 like that. She's like very such, so like this, why 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.680 I was giving more of a sensual that was sent? 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.520 Oh my goodness, Ray, So what do you think did 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:09.560 you ever send her a gift to anything? No, I 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:11.720 believe I was catfished. It was definitely a maybe a 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:13.560 girl that didn't look like the pictures I thought. And 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:15.679 for two years she talked to me, and you talked 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:17.800 to her, Yeah, would you call her? Yeah? My buddies 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:19.800 would talk to her. And she always made this Southern 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.040 girl accent. But her pictures always did seem like they 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:25.520 were kind of a little blurry. They weren't perfect pictures. 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:27.320 Do you think it was a dude or do you 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:28.560 think it was a girl? It was a girl. They 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:31.119 didn't look like that. Probably dang. I wish they wish 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:33.600 there was a story like mine. Ain't no chance it's 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.800 gonna been a dude. Definitely a girl, just blurry pictures. Yeah, 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:38.680 I could have been a dude. The only spot that 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:40.960 was blurred was Adams Apple. For some reason, the Adams 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:45.080 Apple was always so my. The quick story about mine 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.000 is this guest Jean's model reached down social media. She 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:51.040 was like a big fan. We had messaged a few times. 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.720 This is fifteen years ago. She flew to town every 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.800 time we tried to FaceTime because FaceTime was maybe Skype, 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:01.160 maybe FaceTime was the early stages. Camera was broken, and 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:02.359 I told the show. I was like, guys, I can't 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:04.760 believe it. Either's a Guesteans model that thinks likes me, 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:06.480 a big fan. And they're like, no, Amy, let's but no, 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:08.160 you're an idiot. And I was like, I'll show you, guys. 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.960 She came on the show, sounded drunk but still kind 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:13.680 of sounded like drunk, but I was like, I told you, 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.119 and they're like, you told us what? And then turns 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:17.840 out it was a dude, a skinny dude who got 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:20.040 arrested in a hotel and he was on and he 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:21.960 was like taking all kinds of old men were sending 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.959 him stuff like tons of gifts, money, and I always 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:31.000 say I'd never send a single gift. Did you did you? 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.200 Did you? Did you send again? I said, I never 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:38.600 send gifts. Okay, okay, gifts, he said, poor. I didn't 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.360 send gifts on money. I didn't think gifts on money. 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.360 But it was embarrassing and it had gone away, and 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.000 a listener like months later went, hey, I think this 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:49.160 was the person. Yeah, January twenty first, twenty and ten 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:52.320 is when that was Wow. Man accused him a person, 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:55.440 a model swindling wealthy men online, posing his model brecond 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.160 and fraudster allegedly duped wealthy men on the internet. I 0:03:58.200 --> 0:03:59.960 wasn't even wealthy, so that's how you know it was 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:03.480 me and yours. Yeah, yours happened before, way before the 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.000 news story and before even catfishing was a thing. Yes, 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:07.720 I was. I was ahead of the trend. Yeah. Were 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.520 you before the Notre Dame football player, Yeah, same time, 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.800 round the same time, because that was two thousand. Yeah, 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:17.120 I think he was thirteen. Maybe, well, whatever the case is. 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:20.320 I was country for country was cool, saying don't be 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.840 proud of that doing it for everybody's doing it. So yeah, 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.159 I was. I was vulnerable. I got got um. So 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.240 that happened, and I'm the only person, like Rays admitted 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.359 Morgan catfish. It sounds like you have your eyes, like, 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:35.520 come on. I didn't remember this until I was talking 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.680 to Scuba and he uncovered it. But back when aim 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:41.800 was a thing, I had a guy online that I 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.239 was talking to for at least a year who I 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:47.240 fully believed was Brandon Yuri from Panic of the Disco, 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.080 the lead singer. He had me convinced he'd send me 0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.840 pictures of him. I sent him pictures of myself not 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:58.720 not crazy, why no, no winkin. And I fully believed 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:00.880 it was him. We would get on sky. It sounded 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.279 like him, but he never showed me his phone. Oh man, 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.440 And I fully believed it. And we were supposed to 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:08.520 meet up. He was supposed to have a concert in town. 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:10.840 And I was young. I mean I was in middle 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.719 school when this happened, and I was so excited catfished 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.480 and then he like last minute. I was like, oh no, 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:18.120 I won't be able to meet up or whatever. And 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.360 then at that point I started to realize it is 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:23.400 probably not actually him. Welcome to the club, Yeah, we 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.039 welcome all. Heck, we're happy new members. Come about being 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:29.480 honest the Catfish Club, Yeah yeah, catfish. We guys have fun. 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:31.200 We went, we got has we just catfishes on. We 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:32.760 don't say what it is, but if you say it's 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.080 wearing a catfish, you know what's up. But that Brandon 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.599 jury he does. How about you people? Ever heard of 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:44.279 a much engine? How's it going people? I just did 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.560 that part. How's the chorus go? How I know what 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:48.359 that is? What's how's the chorus go? I thought that 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:50.240 was the chorus? That is? What else do they have? 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:52.320 Because I pretty much niled it? Then you guys just 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.600 did whatever I'm doing After that, I guess we all 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.279 know the same party. Even worse? What's the what's the 0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.560 one he did for the magician? One about he got 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:05.240 to ha had it? What? He has another song called 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:09.320 middle Schooler in Wichita. It's about you, It's about me. 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.520 I did it. I got catfish on the end. That's 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.440 not a real thing. That's all okay, Well there's that. 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:17.360 Anybody else want to miss it?

I tried to buy my 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:09.600 friend's place in the Gulch and she wouldn't sell smart. 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:11.960 But I'm real happy here. Well, we went up to 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:13.840 do I did the Today Show a couple of weeks ago, 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.120 and we walked out of the building, walked about a 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:17.480 block and a half down, and a homeless man it 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.080 spit on my wife. Thank you well and have a 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:22.560 nice day, he said, Cat said, Hi, that's how it ended. 0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:27.000 So when you look back at your career, because it's 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:31.080 like you were having your prime multiple times, which is 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.080 rare for anybody, because you killed it in all these 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:38.120 different seasons of your professional life, like professionally, like when 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.280 do you look at and go that those few years 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.440 were the good old days. My good old days are 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:48.320 right now. And that's what's so unbelievable about the life 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:50.360 that I have now. People have always said to me 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.240 since I left the show with Regis in two thousand 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:54.800 and left the show with Hoda three years ago. They go, 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:59.120 how could you leave your your dream job twice at 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.480 the heights of success? And I said, well, you're just 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.320 assuming that those were my dream jobs. When I was 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:08.400 growing up, there were no talk show hosts, especially no 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:11.920 female ones. You know, it wasn't even in the realm 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.840 of possibility. I wanted to be in Nette Funicello or 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.320 Hailey Mills. I wanted to be in Disney movies, and 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:19.040 I wanted to write music, and I wanted to be 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:22.280 on Broadway, and I wanted to write books. And now 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:25.360 I get to do all those things, Bobby, but be 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:28.920 my own boss. And well, I think a turning point 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:30.720 for me was three and a half years ago. I 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.560 was in Israel and I was shooting the amazing Nicole 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.520 se Mullen. I was directing for the first time. I've 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:38.559 been in front of the camera for fifty five years, 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:42.079 and I've watched and I've learned, and I've grown in 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.160 so many different ways. But I were on the cut 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.520 the top of a beautiful mountain called Mount our Belle 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.360 in Galilee, all right on the Sea of Galilee, and 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.040 she was up there and she was singing her brains 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:54.599 out a song she and I had written called The 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:59.000 God Who Sees, and she's this magnificent woman just I 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:03.199 couldn't wait to shoot her on you know, in cinematography, 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:07.280 and she's just that that gorgeous, and she just just 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:10.520 exudes God's love so much. And she was up there 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.720 singing her brains out, and I felt like the Lord 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:17.840 said so specifically and clearly to me, Kathy, everything I've 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.559 ever taken you through in your life, from your mother's 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.920 womb to this moment was for right now. Every gift 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:25.760 I've given you, but you had to hone, you had 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:29.960 to learn, You had to, you know, refine. Everybody wants 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:33.000 everything instantly in our world today. But I'm telling you, 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.240 when you've worked for something as long as I have, 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:37.920 and then you have a moment like that, and it 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:40.200 changed my life and I knew. I said, that's what 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.000 I'm gonna do. I'm gonna spend the rest of my 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:45.560 life bringing these unbelievable epic stories in the Bible to 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:52.320 life through original songs and through with symphonic u magnificence. 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:56.319 They're called oratorios, just like Tcheikowski's Peter and the Wolf 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.559 was an oratorio. It's basically an old, ancient concept of 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.520 a retelling but in a symphonic bed of music that 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.120 just moves you, and then a narrator takes you through 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:08.200 the story and then somebody say, and I've always loved that. 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.880 And so that's what this new movie The Way is about. 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:15.440 Its four oratorios. The first one I wrote with Brett 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.680 James and my friend, our friend sal OLIVERI. Second one 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:20.560 was with a Great Great Right. I remember the song 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:25.880 Barry Manilow had the hit and doctor Mullman remember trying 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:27.959 to get the feeling again. Wrote the second one the 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.120 God of His Word with him. Third one was with 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:32.640 Nicole God who Sees. And the fourth one is these 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:36.160 amazing musicians named Lewis York. If you haven't had him 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:39.520 on yet, Bobby, these guys are responsible for more hits 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:44.360 with like you go back to Michael Jackson, Bruno, Mars Whitney, Madonna. 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:49.679 Party in the usays that those guys left that world 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:53.800 independently found each other as as writing and producing partners. 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:56.600 Ones from Saint Louis, ones from New York. So they 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.840 call themselves Lewis York. They are about the most genius 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:02.400 guy in the music industry. And so we wrote the 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:05.040 fourth Oratorial Code, the God on the other side. So 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.800 it's all kinds of music, but some set in ancient times, 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:11.560 some set I have I have for the retelling and 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:15.160 a modern day retelling of the Prodigal Son's story. But 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.880 I shot it in Franklin at a friend's farm, and 0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:22.280 I shot it with b bb Weinen's place. The father. 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:27.160 You know, Jimmy Allen is the son and Claude Kelly 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:30.600 from Lewis York is a brother, and and I just thought, 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.680 I am in I am in hog Heaven now. And 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.040 so I mean, when you're the when you're the boss, 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:38.880 you get to see your vision through to the end. 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:42.280 You know. Then if it's a success, you know, you 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:44.800 thank God. You don't take a value, just thank him. 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:47.760 If it's a disaster, it's just because something I have 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:49.920 more to learn. And you can go to the Way 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.679 Music dot com because it September one, it's out right 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.000 September one, the movie comes out. What I'm saying, that's 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.920 we're talking about the movie. First. You can go to 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:00.520 Fathom Events dot Com. You know those fathom things that 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.360 a movie comes out for one day's usually to qualify 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:05.400 for some sort of awards thing or something like that, 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.200 and that's not what we're looking for.

So the book, The God of the Way, 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:22.439 that's the companion to the film. Yeah, the movie was 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.000 supposed to come out last Easter, and it was I 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:28.080 had to get three hundred thousand dollars more to finish it, 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:31.080 so they weren't supposed to come out at the same time, 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.199 but it worked out that way. So the book comes 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:36.360 out August thirtieth. It's available for pre order now. But 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:39.440 like if if I show you Abraham and Sarah and 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:41.480 what they went through when God called them from the 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:43.800 land of Er Nobod, who knows where the land of 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:45.720 Er is? You read the Bible. If you read still 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.280 the Bible and you think all the land of Er, no, 0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:51.280 the land of her is modern day I rock. You know. 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:53.280 These are the things you learn when you when you 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:55.760 study rabbinically, the Bible, like I do you learn what 0:13:55.880 --> 0:14:00.760 all those kinds of things that give things texture and context? 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.560 And I want to It's the details, you know, So 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:05.840 you can only tell so much about a song that 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:08.760 I write. It's about Abraham and Sarah called the God 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:10.880 of the how and when, and if people want to 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:12.720 know more about them, read the book that goes along 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:15.120 with It's almost like a study guide to go along 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.200 with it. I'm sure you'll be spending many a weekend 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.320 with this, every weekend. Actually, I've already got it coundared out. 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.040 I'm ready to go. Well, you're more than welcome to 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:25.520 come to our Fathom event. It's it's a full fledged 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:30.960 motion pictures it looks. Thank God for drones. Oh, I 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.800 could have never afford to be a director of films 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:35.880 in the days when you need to hire a plane 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:38.120 and a cinematographer to go up in the plane or 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.800 a helicopter and shoot that stuff. You know, Now you 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:43.840 send up your drone and you get the most unbelievable shots. 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.080 How many times have you seen it back? Oh? I 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.240 had to edit the whole thing so many many times, 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:51.840 many many many times. Yeah, and so do you editing 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:54.480 it so many times? Do you start to go, Okay, 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:56.440 I've been doing it so much, I'm kind of lost 0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.320 as to exactly what I'm doing. You know, what you 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:01.800 do one of two things. You either fall in love 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.680 all the more with your baby, you know. I just 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:06.880 became a grandmother the other day for the two and 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.080 a half months ago. And you every time I see him, 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.640 I fall more in love with him because I get 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:14.120 to know him better. And then the other good thing 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:16.160 about editing is you find little things that you know 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.240 could could be better. But it's like anything in life, 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.680 eventually your time is up and then you just have 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:26.040 to you just have to die to that, you know, 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:29.040 in a sense, and just let it be because it is. 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:31.840 It is what it is, and just rejoice in it 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:33.560 and see what God has for it. I just wanted 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:37.160 to change people's lives, Bobby. I'm not a churchgoer. I'm 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.720 I'm a Jesus lover. And you know, the first people 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:44.560 who believed in Jesus were called the followers of the Way. 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:47.640 They weren't called Christians till many, many years later. That's 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.440 that's not a Jewish term, that's a Greek term. Christos 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:54.320 for Messiah. He was a Jewish man, I have people 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.680 say to me, well, now, let me get this right. 0:15:56.760 --> 0:16:01.840 Jesus was Jesus was Catholic, right, I go, are you crazy? No? 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:06.240 The Biblical illiteracy is frustrating to me because it's the 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:10.520 most fascinating book that the world has ever experienced, and 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:13.840 the stories from it are ripped from the headlines today. 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.720 Ripped from the headlines. I mean, if you read the Bible, 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:18.920 you'll oh, my gosh, this isn't the real housewives of 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:22.920 the Old Testament. This stuff's unbelievable. I write those stories 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:25.040 and I bring them to life in a modern day way, 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:28.800 and I get the sixty five best musicians I know 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.880 in this town, and orchestrated by two of the finest 0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.240 orchestrators and anywhere in the world. I put them up 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:36.640 against anyone, right with the best writers that are in 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:39.680 the world, because they make me look good. And put 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:42.080 it out there, and I hope people find it, and 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:44.160 I hope it blesses them in a way that changes 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.320 their heart so that it can change their life and 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:48.560 give them hope. The book is the God of the 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:52.400 way out. August thirtieth, and you mentioned the orchestra. You're 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:55.600 still seeing wonderfully. Oh you're still seeing just as beautiful 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:57.200 as I've ever heard you, saying when did you hear 0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:00.880 musics the other morning? Yeah? Well I was in the 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:06.000 other room when you were a child, and your mom 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:07.960 saying that was a musician from right, he was a 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:11.800 jazz saxophonist. So with that, I mean, do you get 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:16.240 an ear? And are you genetically blessed because you're like 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:19.119 how because again, you were so good so early on. No, 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:22.200 I wasn't, you weren't. But I wanted to be a singer. 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:23.600 I wanted to be a singer. I want to be 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:26.880 Barbara Streison. That didn't work out. She changed my life 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:31.320 the first time I heard people people who need people, 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:33.240 you know, you just want to what I wanted to 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:36.320 drop to my jaw and I just I just wanted 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:39.080 to move people like that. And I spent years in 0:17:39.080 --> 0:17:41.439 front of a mirror trying to hit those notes. But 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:43.399 then I realized how important it was just to be 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:45.600 the best of me I could be. The world is 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:47.959 full of people who try to admire other people so 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:51.200 much they try to exactly that way. The world does 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:55.000 not need any more copycats. We need more original, authentic people. 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:59.440 And I came to understand how important that was. That's 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:01.919 why I can't and all this culture, this canceling in 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:05.000 our culture of people, because we're not all alike. We 0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:07.680 were never meant to be all alike. God went a great, 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:10.560 great trouble to make us all so completely unique, down 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:13.360 to our down to our fingerprints, you know. And then 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:15.320 we as a culture say, if you don't believe the 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:16.800 way I believe, you don't think the way I think, 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:18.760 you don't worship the way I think, you don't vote 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:20.679 the way I think, you can't be on this planet. 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:22.399 And I want to go, wait a minute, this planet 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:25.840 that God made for us, every one of us. Where'd 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:28.760 you get that theology? That's really really screwed up theology. 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:30.840 I like it that more people were like me, I'll 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:32.959 be honest with you, more people like me, I think 0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:35.119 that I would take a few more boneses in the world. 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:37.360 Me too. So other than just I'm the only one 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:40.720 to wish a copy. Well, how about Jesus before you 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:44.800 Jesus right now though in this room I'm the only one. 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:49.840 So but back to you being a child, my personal feeling, 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:52.480 as you could sing, but maybe your sister was better 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:54.240 and you were in such an advanced family that you 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:56.720 didn't know. No, you know what, I thought I could sing, 0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.119 and I went to my sister's vocal coach, because my 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:03.080 sister could have been a I'm a child wonder. I 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:04.959 went and I sang a little song, and I think 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:08.000 I did a few chords for her, and everything stretches, 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:10.959 you know, whatever, our peggios, whatever. And she looked at me, 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:15.960 very very lovingly, and she goes, oh, Kathy, stick to harmony, honey. 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:18.840 And it made me so mad that I went out 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:21.120 and learned how to be a singer. So when you're sixteen, 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:22.280 what do you want to be when you grow up? 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:24.560
